Chapter 184: On Meritorious Deeds

When they returned to the Jinluan Hall again, the officials found 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 the court on weekdays.

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

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

This made the courtiers' hearts chill again.

These people who did not come to the court are probably sad.

"It's all written down. ”

Yan Qing handed a fold to Yan Zi'an, and then Yan Zi'an presented it to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen just glanced at it roughly, and then gave the fold back to Yan Zi'an.

Then he said to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty: "Today, I have killed a lot of corrupt officials, and there are a lot of vacancies in the imperial court, I don't know if you have any good candidates to recommend?"

As soon as Xiao Chen's words came out, many ministers who were depressed suddenly had a gleam in their eyes.

Especially those courtiers who do not belong to the three major families, their brains are even more active.

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

Could it be that the emperor wants to suppress the three major families and support the small ones?

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

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

Of course, this is not to blame them, because no one dares to imagine that Xiao Chen would want to challenge the way of ruling on the continent that has been maintained for thousands of years.

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

"This ......"

Shen Changwen was a little hesitant, at this time, no matter who he recommended, I am afraid that he will be charged with forming a party for personal gain.

The five killings order just issued, if it were used on oneself, it would be tragic.

So Shen Changwen said helplessly: "Everything is decided by Your Majesty, and the ministers have no objections!"

"Well, since there are no good candidates for the official book, then I will recommend a few people, and you Aiqing will discuss it again, don't say that I am arbitrary!"

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

You're not arbitrary? Then you killed so many people, whose opinion did you ask? It's really shameful.

Regardless of what the courtiers were thinking, Xiao Chen's face turned straight and said, "Wen Yuan, when you saved me from danger, I said that I would reward you heavily, and today is the time for me to fulfill my promise." ”

"Zhang Liao listens to Feng, I will appoint you as the general of Zhengsanpin Anxi today, form a 100,000 Tenglong army, and stabilize the western frontier for me in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Liao knelt on the ground excitedly, as a military general, there was nothing more exciting for him than holding the power of the army.

"Feng Wang Yue is the commander of the Sipin Black Ice Terrace, supervising hundreds of officials, and is directly responsible to me. ”

Xiao Chen did not conceal the existence of the Black Ice Platform, but announced it, which was a huge deterrent to the Hundred Officials Association.

"Feng Yu Wencheng is a general of Zhengsi Zhongwu, and assists Zhang Liao to form the Tenglong Legion!"

"Feng Menghui is the lieutenant general of the Sipin Imperial Forest Army, and the Imperial Forest Army will be formed to defend Luocheng!"

"Feng Li Cunxiao is the general of Zhengsanpin Annan, and form a hundred thousand Huolin Legions!"

"Feng Luo became the general of Mingwei from the fourth grade, and assisted Li Cunxiao to form the Huolin Legion!"

"Feng Li Yuanba is the invincible general of the fourth grade, responsible for guarding the safety of the palace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, we will swear allegiance to Your Majesty and expand the territory for my Great Zhou!"

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

"Generals, please get up, this is all you deserve! In the future, the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty will depend on your protection!"

These people were summoned to this world by Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen could fully trust them, and the official positions they gave were also extremely high.

"Later, I will draw up the decree, and the generals who have not come, I will have the decree delivered to them. ”

Meng Hui and the others also needed to command the entire army of Los Angeles to protect the safety of Los Angeles, so they did not come to the court today.

Regarding Xiao Chen's separation, the courtiers, especially those military attachés, although they were dissatisfied, did not dare to have any opinions.

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

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

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

In case Xiao Chen is unhappy and kills them, it won't be fun.

After dividing the generals, Xiao Chen turned his gaze to the civil officials, which made the courtiers really nervous.

Most of the generals are outside with troops, and there are only a few military attaches in Los Angeles who are qualified to go to the court, and they have been killed by Xiao Chen.

Therefore, most of the court are civil officials, and at this moment, Xiao Chen wants to reward civil officials, just to touch their interests.

"Shen Changwen, I remember that you have worked hard and made great achievements, and you are old, so I will give you an idle official position! From today onwards, you will take over the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, how about it?"

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

What kind of idle official position is this! The secretary of the criminal department has always been a cumbersome position, and his power is far inferior to that of the secretary of the department.

It seems to be a flat move, but in fact it is a demotion in disguise.

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

Shen Changwen got down from the official book?

Many officials were overjoyed, did this mean that they could take over this fat difference?

They knew that there were many martial arts masters under Xiao Chen, but there were not many Wenchen, and Shen Changwen was removed, if they didn't take over, who would take over?

However, Xiao Chen eventually disappointed them.

I saw Xiao Chen say: "I have found a suitable candidate for the position of the secretary of the ministry, Huaiying, you will take the position of the secretary of the ministry!"

Who is he?

All the courtiers didn't expect that Xiao Chen would find a stranger to serve as the secretary of the ministry.

At this moment, a slightly chubby, kind-eyed old man walked in from outside the main hall.

"Chen Di Renjie, thank you for your kindness. ”

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

"Who is this man, and why have you never seen him?"

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

"Isn't this child's play? How can you casually find someone to be the secretary of the ministry?"

Sure enough, after Xiao Chen proposed to let Di Renjie serve as the secretary of the ministry, the civil officials began to be uncalm and talked in a low voice.

Xiao Chen squinted at this group of civil officials, and then said in a cold voice: "What, do you have opinions?"

Sometimes, interests can really disorient a person, and they don't even want their lives.

After a moment of silence, an official finally stepped forward.

The official walked to the center of the main hall and plucked up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, the position of the secretary of the ministry is very important, please think twice!"
