Myriad Realms Summoning System

"You object to my appointment of Di Renjie as the Minister of Personnel?"

Xiao Chen looked quietly at the official who jumped out. He didn't seem angry, but the calmer he was, the more frightening it made people feel.

Zhang Liao and other generals who had just been rewarded also looked at him coldly, making the official feel trapped and even began to regret his decision.

Why did I suddenly get so excited that I jumped out to oppose it?

“I…I…”

The official hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed in his heart: "I agree."

When the other officials saw this, they immediately showed disappointment on their faces. They had originally thought that someone could stop Xiao Chen, but now it seemed impossible.

Xiao Chen's power was so great that no one in the court dared to offend him.

After getting the official's answer, Xiao Chen did not look at him again and continued, "The position of Minister of War will be held by Jia Xu."

Another one I haven’t heard of!

The court officials felt bitter because all these lucrative positions were taken away by others.

Jia Xu also walked in from outside the hall and stood in the center of the hall. Under the gaze of the court officials, he said respectfully to Xiao Chen: "Your Highness, I thank you for your grace!"

Xiao Chen nodded to Jia Xu, and then said loudly: "Appoint Zhang Jue as the Minister of Rites!"

"Appoint Lin Qingming as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"

Zhang Jue and Lin Qingming did not come to court because they were concerned about strengthening the city's defenses, but Xiao Chen would not forget their contributions.

He had promised Lin Qingming that as long as Lin Qingming could take over the military power of Hanfeng City, he would let him follow him.

Now, Lin Qingming has lived up to expectations and successfully seized the military power, which has also indirectly proved his ability. It is reasonable to promote him vigorously.

However, Lin Qingming's qualifications are too shallow, so he can only be given a fourth-rank position as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

If it is higher, his subordinates will probably be jealous, and Xiao Chen should also pay attention to these influences.

As for Zhang Jue, although he had sufficient qualifications, his ability was limited and he was not qualified to be a Shangshu.

Letting him be the Minister of Rites, in charge of education and propaganda, can be considered as making the best use of his talents.

After all, it’s because he has too few talented people at his disposal!

When the system comes back, we must quickly summon more to fill the gaps in the court.

Next, Xiao Chen promoted many officials in the court.

Among these newly promoted officials, half were from the five small families, and the other half were from other unknown small families.

As for the people from the three major families, I'm sorry, Xiao Chen didn't promote any of them.

Xiao Chen felt that he had been very merciful to them by not killing them all and even leaving some of them to continue to occupy high positions.

After the officials were rewarded, four forces were roughly formed in the court.

The emperor's faction headed by Jia Xu and Di Renjie, although the smallest in number, all hold high positions and control military power. Therefore, they are the strongest and most prominent among the four factions.

The second force is the three major families. Although this force has been suppressed by Xiao Chen, they have been operating in the court for many years. They cannot be eliminated by killing a few high-ranking officials. Their power cannot be underestimated.

The third and fourth forces are the five newly emerging small families and small family alliances.

These two forces have always been inconspicuous, but now they are on the rise. They have captured three of the six ministers of ministries and are the most powerful at the moment.

Although many people are dissatisfied with this reward, the general result is acceptable.

Especially the five small families and those small clans, they were grateful to Xiao Chen and began to think that this emperor might be not bad.

"Although I have ascended the throne, I have not yet announced it to the world. Please ask the Ministry of Rites to select an auspicious day for me to hold the enthronement ceremony."

After rewarding the officials, Xiao Chen said to the newly appointed Minister of Rites Zheng Jiuhe.

Zheng Jiuhe, the patriarch of the Zheng family, one of the five small families, is also Lin Wanqing's grandfather. In fact, Xiao Chen once killed a martial arts master in their family.

The news of his becoming emperor had only spread within Luo City, and the local officials in the thirteen counties were still unaware of it.

The most important thing is that the generals guarding the border did not know that the emperor had been replaced.

Therefore, this news must be spread throughout the Great Zhou through the ceremony of the Enthronement Hall.

Zheng Jiuhe had just been promoted by Xiao Chen, so of course he was extremely attentive and said quickly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will make good preparations and live up to your trust."

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "My dear ministers, you are the pillars of the Great Zhou. I hope that you can work together in the future and contribute to the world of our Great Zhou. I will not treat you unfairly."

"But if anyone dares to do something behind my back and violates the Five Kill Order, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship. I will make him regret it then."

The entire court knelt hastily, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, we will certainly be loyal to you!"

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Let's withdraw from the court!"

…

What happened in the court quickly spread throughout Los Angeles.

Those who received rewards from Xiao Chen were all filled with joy, while the families that were suppressed by Xiao Chen, of course, began to curse Xiao Chen as expected.

Xiao Chen doesn’t care about these!

But what he could not have imagined was that the three great families did not make any statement at all regarding his massacre of their own children.

Even all three families closed their doors to visitors, as if they wanted to isolate themselves from the world.

This made Xiao Chen, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the three major families again, unable to do so for a while.

But he was not in a hurry. What were the three great families? They had been established in Luo City for thousands of years and had a deep foundation. How could they remain indifferent after suffering such a huge loss?

Perhaps this is just the calm before the storm, and behind the scenes, they are secretly planning how to fight back against Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was not worried about these, he just asked Wang Yue to send secret agents from the Black Ice Platform to keep an eye on the three major families day and night.

As long as they are within the scope of Luo City, Xiao Chen doesn't worry about the other party doing anything weird. Now Luo City is his private territory, and not even a fly can fly out.

After receiving the order to form a legion, Zhang Liao and Li Cunxiao also began to reorganize their troops.

Lengshuang City and Xiyu City among the four guard cities have a combined army of 40,000. Xiao Chen, who is currently short of soldiers and generals, will certainly not let them go.

Zhang Liao and Yuwen Cheng each led an army of 20,000 to surround the two cities, while Wang Yue personally took action and killed the lords of the two cities.

The soldiers in the two cities lacked a backbone and hesitated for a while before finally choosing to leave the city and surrender.

With these 40,000 troops, Zhang Liao and others had 280,000 troops to deploy.

Zhang Liao and Yuwen Cheng each led an army of 100,000 to form the Tenglong Legion and the Huolin Legion.

The remaining 80,000 troops were taken away by other generals to form other military branches.

After Jia Xu took over as the Minister of War, he was more involved in work with generals such as Zhang Liao, which was not very tiring.

Di Renjie was probably the one who had the hardest time. As an airborne Minister of Personnel, he had no one to use and had to train everyone by himself.

Fortunately, he was a famous official of his generation, and he was adept at handling these matters. He quickly stabilized the situation, making those who doubted his ability look at him with admiration.
