The night was dark, but Xiao Chen did not rest, tomorrow will be the first morning pilgrimage after ascending the throne, and he still has many things to prepare.

Sitting as emperor is not only an honor, but also a responsibility, but also a pressure.

Fortunately, Di Renjie came to Los Angeles, and Jia Xu was also taken to the palace by him, with these two people, he would undoubtedly be a lot easier.

"Congratulations to Gongzi for regaining the throne of emperor!"

Jia Xu and Di Renjie had just come to the imperial study, and when they saw Xiao Chen, who was sitting in front of the bookcase and had changed into a dragon robe, they quickly knelt down and bowed.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, although Xiao Chen has always had no shelf, but that was before.

Now that Xiao Chen is the emperor, they must also immediately adapt to the change of their roles, and some things can no longer be as casual as before.

Xiao Chen also guessed the thoughts of the two, so he didn't stop the two from saluting, which would make them even more panicked.

"Alright, gentlemen, sit down!"

When the two of them finished their ceremony, Xiao Chen smiled and asked them to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the two sat down in their seats, and then waited for Xiao Chen to speak.

Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and asked, "Two gentlemen, I only ascended the throne today, and I don't know a lot of things yet, so I invited you two to come late at night, mainly to ask about the things of tomorrow morning." ”

Di Renjie and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and then Di Renjie took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you want to ask?"

Jia Xu is good at strategy, while Di Renjie is better at government affairs, so it is better for him to ask questions about the affairs of the early dynasty.

Xiao Chen leaned on the chair, played with a delicate jade pendant in his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "Huaiying, you said that tomorrow morning, if I wantonly purge the old ministers of the court, what will happen?"

These officials of Da Zhou disappointed him very much, they were simply a group of cold-blooded people who were vegetarian in the corpse position,

To be more precise, they are just a group of lackeys of the family, and it is impossible for them to serve the imperial court at all, and keeping them will only become a constraint for themselves.

"This ......"

Xiao Chen's words made Di Renjie a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer.

He can understand Xiao Chen's idea of wanting to purge the old court officials, to be honest, for these officials, the upright Di Renjie also hates them to the core, but reason tells him that now is not the time to purge these court officials.

"Huaiying, between you and me, you don't have to care so much, but it doesn't hurt to say it," Xiao Chen saw Di Renjie's hesitation and said with relief.

For the people summoned by the system, Xiao Chen naturally trusts them unconditionally, and these people are absolutely loyal to him.

Di Renjie got up, bowed to Xiao Chen, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being blunt, it is not yet the time to purge the old ministers of the imperial court. ”

Xiao Chen didn't have any mood swings due to Di Renjie's dissenting opinion, but continued to ask: "Tell me your opinion!"

Di Renjie said respectfully: "Your Majesty, now that you have just ascended the throne, the foundation of the court is weak, although these ministers are of inferior character, they are an important pillar to maintain the operation of the kingdom, if they all die, I am afraid that the operation of the kingdom will be paralyzed in an instant!"

Xiao Chen nodded, at present, he only has Di Renjie and Jia Xu two Wenchen available, if he really kills those people, there will be no one to help him govern the country.

But he was very unwilling to let these people corrupt the kingdom, did he really want to let them go?

He now deeply felt the shortcomings of Wenchen's lack, and he couldn't wait for the system to wake up immediately, and then summon a group of Wenchen to work for him.

However, Di Renjie's words suddenly changed: "Your Majesty, although it is not feasible to purge the courtiers, it is still essential to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!"

Punish someone as a warning to others?

Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he instantly understood what Di Renjie meant, but he was a little embarrassed, killing chickens, what chickens should he kill?

"Your Majesty, this is a list of some of the court ministers drafted by Wei Chen, you can take a look at it first. ”

At this moment, Di Renjie suddenly took out a list, and the names of dozens of important ministers of the imperial court were written on the list.

Xiao Chen had to sigh, Di Renjie is really an old fox!

This guy only came to Los Angeles today, but he was able to immediately provide a place for the minister of the imperial court, and it was obvious that he was not idle when he was in Lianyun City.

With such a minister who takes one step and sees three steps, he is a lot more relaxed.

Even Jia Xu sighed a little that Di Renjie took precautions, worthy of being a famous minister!

Xiao Chen took the list handed over by Di Renjie and browsed it carefully.

I really don't know if I don't see it, I'm shocked when I see it! Good guy, there are three of the top three members alone, which is really full of weight.

The first-rank position in the Great Zhou Kingdom has always been just a fictitious position, and there was only one second-grade position before, which was Yan Jilong, and now the highest official rank in the court is the third-rank master.

"Your Majesty, the minister means that for the time being, only kill the people above! As long as they die, they can stabilize the situation for the time being. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chen glanced at Di Renjie in surprise, it seems that this kind person is not a good person!

Jia Xu, who had not spoken, spoke: "Your Majesty doesn't know, these people are the spokespersons of the three major families in the imperial court, and their death will be a huge blow to the three major families." ”

"Moreover, if the three major families are hit, Your Majesty will send a wrong signal to the Zheng family and the other five small families: you want to rectify the three major families. ”

In this way, these small families will feel that their opportunity has come, and they will definitely find their way to strengthen their family's power in the court. ”

"As long as these families are not united in the court, then Your Majesty can take care of them slowly while keeping the kingdom running. ”

"Is it a family again? It's really pervasive! The court is actually controlled by them. ”

After listening to Jia Xu and Di Renjie's analysis, Xiao Chen muttered to himself, he had a new understanding of the strength of the family, as the emperor, he still had to use the contradictions between the families to maintain the situation.

Di Renjie sighed and said: "Actually, the situation in our Great Zhou Kingdom is quite good, only the family controls the government, and the sect does not participate too much, and the situation of other kingdoms, and even the dynasty, the family clan rules the mainland, this sentence is not false at all!"

Jia Xu also sighed: "This world is respected by martial arts, and the family sect monopolizes most of the exercises, martial arts, and cultivation resources, which makes many people choose to rely on them. ”

"Without the support of the family clan, it is difficult to become a martial artist, even if you are lucky enough to become a martial artist, your achievements in life are limited. ”

"Therefore, the rule of the family is actually the rule based on the monopoly of martial arts, and if this monopoly is not broken, the rule of the family will never be completely broken. ”

Xiao Chen nodded, the temptation to become a martial artist is too great, not to mention anything else, just the fatal attraction of a large increase in life, and a few people can resist it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen suddenly had an idea in his mind, if he could popularize martial arts in the Great Zhou Kingdom, would the family's rule fall apart?
