Chapter 181 On the Reward for Meritorious Deeds

When they returned to the Golden Palace again, the officials discovered that the hall was much more empty than before.

Today Xiao Chen killed at least fifty civil and military officials, accounting for at least one third of the people who came to court on weekdays.

"Xiao Yi, have those officials who didn't come to court have you written down?"

Under the escort of Li Yuanba, Xiao Chen, who was sitting back on the throne, asked with a cold face.

This made the courtiers feel a chill in their hearts again.

This is not enough to kill! Those who did not come to court are probably sad.

"It's all written down."

Yan Qing gave a document to Yan Zian, and then Yan Zian presented the document to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen just glanced at it roughly, and then gave the book back to Yan Zian.

Then he said to the civil and martial arts of the whole dynasty: "Today, I killed a lot of corrupt officials, and there are many vacancies in the court. I wonder if you have any good candidates to recommend?"

As soon as Xiao Chen's words came out, the eyes of many depressed ministers suddenly flashed.

Especially those courtiers who did not belong to the three great families, their brains became more active.

After thinking about it carefully, they realized that most of the ministers Xiao Chen killed today were members of the three great families, except for Xiao Tianci's cronies.

Does the emperor want to suppress the three major families and support the small family?

As soon as this idea came up, they quickly thought about how to control these vacant positions into the hands of their own family.

However, none of them thought that Xiao Chen's move was just a transition, and his ultimate goal was to completely eliminate the rule of the aristocratic family.

Of course, it's not their fault, because no one dared to imagine that Xiao Chen would actually want to challenge the way of rule that has been maintained on the mainland for thousands of years.

"Shen Shangshu, you are the official minister, why don't you recommend a few people?" Xiao Chen looked at Shen Changwen with a half-smile but not a smile.

"This……"

Shen Changwen was a little hesitant. At this time, no matter who he recommended, he would probably be charged with forming a party for personal gain.

If the Five Killing Order just promulgated was used on oneself, it would be tragic.

So Shen Changwen said helplessly: "Everything is up to Your Majesty to decide, and I have no objection!"

"Well, since there are no good candidates for the Minister of Officials, I will recommend a few people, and I will discuss it again, dear gentlemen, don't say that I am arbitrary!"

When the ministers heard the words, they complained wildly in their hearts.

Are you still on your own? Then you killed so many people, whose opinion did you ask? Really shameless.

Ignoring what the courtiers were thinking, Xiao Chen's face turned straight and he said, "Wen Yuan, when you rescued me from a crisis, I said that I would reward you greatly. Today is the time when I will fulfill my promise."

"Zhang Liao listened to the seal, today I named you the third-rank Anxi General, and formed a 100,000 Tenglong Legion to stabilize the western frontier for me in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Liao knelt down excitedly. As a military general, nothing excites him more than holding military power.

"Feng Wangyue is the commander of the fourth-grade black ice platform, supervises hundreds of officials, and is directly responsible to me."

Xiao Chen did not conceal the existence of the Black Ice Terrace, but announced it, which was a huge shock to the Baiguanhui.

"Feng Yuwencheng is the fourth-grade Zhongwu general, assisting Zhang Liao to form the Tenglong Army!"

"Follow Meng Gong to be the commander of the fourth-rank Royal Forest Army, and set up the Royal Forest Army to defend Luocheng!"

"Seal Li Cunxiao as the third-rank Annan general, and form a hundred thousand Fire Lin Corps!"

"Feng Luo became General Mingwei from the fourth rank, and assisted Li Cunxiao to form the Huo Lin Army!"

"To make Li Yuanba the invincible general of the fourth rank, responsible for guarding the safety of the palace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will swear allegiance to Your Majesty to open up territory for me!"

Zhang Liao, Yuwen Chengdu and others all knelt on the ground to thank them.

"All generals, please come, this is what you deserve! In the future, the country of this great week will depend on your protection!"

These people were summoned to this world by Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen can fully trust them, and the official positions given are also extremely high.

"I will draw up the decree later, and the generals who are not here will have someone send the imperial decree to them."

Meng Gong and others still need to lead the entire Luo City army and protect the safety of Luo City, so they did not come to court today.

Although the courtiers, especially those military officers, were dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's division of the title, they did not dare to have any opinion.

They all know that these people are Xiao Chen's confidants, and it is reasonable to promote them vigorously.

What's more, these people have shown strength far beyond their cognition since they appeared, so they can only accept this fact silently.

In fact, the most important thing is that they are afraid of death!

If Xiao Chen is not happy with his opinions and kills them, it will not be fun.

After the division of the generals, Xiao Chen turned his attention to the civil servants, which made the courtiers really nervous.

Most of the military generals were sent out, and there were only a few military attachés who were qualified to go to court in Luocheng, and Xiao Chen had killed a lot of them.

Therefore, most of the courtrooms were civil servants. At this moment, Xiao Chen wanted to reward civil servants, just to touch their interests.

"Shen Changwen, I miss you for your hard work, and you are getting older, so I will give you a leisurely official position! From today, you will take over the post of Minister of Punishment, how about it?"

Xiao Chen looked at Shen Changwen with a half-smile, which made Shen Changwen feel bitter.

What kind of leisurely office is this! The Minister of Punishment has always been a cumbersome position, and his power is far less than that of the Minister of Personnel.

It seems to be a flat relocation, but it is actually a disguised relegation.

But he didn't dare to say anything, he could only say with a bitter face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

Shen Changwen went down from the Ministry of Officials?

Many officials were overjoyed, does this mean that they can take over this fat man.

They knew that there were many martial arts masters under Xiao Chen, but there were not many civil ministers. Shen Changwen was withdrawn, and they would not take over. Who would take over?

But Xiao Chen finally let them down.

I saw Xiao Chen and said: "For the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, I have found a suitable candidate, Huaiying, you will be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"

Wynn? Who is he?

None of the courtiers thought that Xiao Chen would find a stranger to serve as the minister of officials.

At this moment, a slightly fat, kind-hearted old man walked in from outside the hall.

"My minister, Di Renjie, thank you Your Majesty for your love."

Di Renjie walked to the center of the hall and said respectfully to Xiao Chen, who was on the throne.

"Who is this man? Why have you never seen him?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure that there is absolutely no such person in Da Zhou's officialdom!"

"Isn't this child's play? How can you just find someone to be the official minister?"

Sure enough, after Xiao Chen proposed to make Di Renjie the official minister, the civil servants began to lose their composure and began to talk in a low voice.

Xiao Chen squinted at the group of civil servants, and then said in a cold voice, "Why, do you have any opinions?"

Sometimes, interests can really make a person lose their way, and even don't even want to die.

After a moment of silence, an official finally stood up.

The official walked to the center of the hall, summoned up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, the post of Minister of Officials is very important, please think twice before acting!"
