Hundreds of officials entered the hall, lined up on the left and right, and Lu Chen also walked to the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live—"

The ministers knelt on the ground and bowed, and Lu Chen also sat on the dragon chair, and said in a flat voice, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Your Majesty—"

After everyone got up, he also began to say, "All the secretaries are the pillars of the country, they should do their best, be anxious for the community, and think about the people, now the world is unified, all of them are Qintu, but some of our officials ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Chen also glanced at the ministers, as if he had suddenly found Zhongli, his gaze suddenly stopped on the latter's body, and he didn't say any more words below, but frowned slightly.

Zhongli is a prince, his position is naturally standing at the front, after feeling Lu Chen's gaze, he also cautiously peeked at Lu Chen, and then the Adam's apple slid down, feeling uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to speak.

At this time, with Lu Chen's movements, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look over.

"What do you mean?" Lu Chen stared at Zhongli and asked in a cold voice.

He is the martial emperor who founded the empire, and the whole world was defeated by him with the army, and his imperial power can be imagined, sometimes, a cold look will make the courtiers chill down their spines.

Don't look at Zhongli being so arrogant in front of other officials, but in the face of Lu Chen, how can he have any confidence, and when he heard this, he stammered and said, "No...... I don't know what Your Majesty means, Weichen dared to ask for instructions. ”

Lu Chen pointed to the saber at his waist, and said lukewarmly, "You are so bold, who gave you the right to dare to go to the palace with a sword." ”

His voice was not angry, but it was full of deterrence, Zhongli heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground, and while kowtowing, he also said in a trembling voice, "If there is no Majesty's instruction, how dare Weichen, isn't it Your Majesty who asked the little father-in-law outside the door to inform Weichen." ”

"Presumptuous!" Lu Chen directly slapped the table in front of him, and scolded angrily, "Zhongli! You have a sword on your waist, in this palace, do you want to show off your might, ignore me, the Son of Heaven, or do you want to kill the king with a sword!? ”

Hearing this, Zhongli was immediately frightened, and immediately kowtowed again and again, "Even if Weichen has great courage, he doesn't dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty!" The minister's loyalty to His Majesty is even more evident from heaven and earth——"

"Do you think I'm Yang Xuan!" Lu Chen asked again.

"How dare Weichen, how dare Weichen, Your Majesty Mingjian......" Zhongli's voice was already crying, kneeling on the ground, his head touched the ground, and his whole body began to tremble, and the cold sweat on his forehead had already flowed out.

But Lu Chen didn't care about him, and immediately shouted, "Zhao Chuan Qingyang!" ”

"The minister is here!" The two of them came out at the same time.

"Zhongli brought a sword into the temple and despised the Son of Heaven, and his sin was unforgivable! Take it down and behead it for public display! Lu Chen ordered directly.

"No!" The two responded, and then stepped forward one after another, one left and one right, set up Zhongli and left.

The two generals were detained, how could Zhongli resist, he didn't dare to resist, but he was still there and shouted in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty! Wechen is wronged! Weichen is wronged! It's all the little eunuch......"

When he brought the sword into the hall, he was wronged or not, of course Lu Chen knew in his heart that his shouts would soon disappear outside the hall.

Zhongli's death, to put it bluntly, was due to his own arrogance, not knowing the height of the sky, the words of the little eunuch, others might have doubts, but in Zhongli's eyes at that time, he took it for granted, which also gave Lu Chen the best reason to convict him.

After beheading Zhongli, Lu Chen also immediately pointed at Xiao Wang, and said in a loud voice, "The prime minister immediately mobilized the Pingzhou army, rushed to Qingzhou, and confiscated the military power of the Qingzhou army. Go now. ”

"Weichen takes the order!" Xiao Wangzhen responded, and after the salute, he also withdrew from the court hall.

At this time, all the ministers were a little dumbfounded, and many of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly, and stood below, and their bodies were lower.

But after a pause, Lu Chen began to ask again as if nothing had happened, "By the way, where did I talk about just now?" ”

All the ministers looked at each other, and Chen Qun stepped out of the ranks with courage, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty said that some of our officials ......."

"Oh, yes." Lu Chen said, "Now that the nine countries are united, but we have some officials, governing the locality, what are the Chu people, the Feng people, and they feel that they are the people of the Feng Country, so they have to be superior." ”

"Is that right? Kindness? Lu Chen looked around, slapped the table and said, "This is splitting the country!" Divide the nation! ”

"Now it's the Great Qin Empire! The people of the world are all Qin people! Such officials, once verified, will not be pardoned! ”

His loud roar made all the officials dare not come out, bowed slightly, and stood below in silence.

After a pause, Lu Chen continued, "What is an official, recently, I have heard some officialdom theories, saying that this is the way of being an official, among the ministers of our country, there are many discussions, and there are even people who specialize in studying this way. ”

"Some people, the power in their hands is bigger, the interpersonal exchanges are frequent, and the gifts they receive are naturally more, and they are studying how to grasp this degree, so that they can be at ease."

"Some people think that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observant, there are no fugitives."

"Some people think that the official career is accessible, the official is doing things, and the way and method are emphasized, whether it is climbing in a straight line or making progress in a roundabout way, it is a means."

"Some people think that it is difficult to distinguish between true feelings and false meanings, and they simply do not make sense."

"There are some people who abide by the golden mean."

"These are official theories, at first glance, they are reasonable and popular, although they have their own reasons, but in my opinion, they are not important."

Lu Chen continued, "What is the most important thing for an official, the most important thing is to have a correct position!" It is a matter of the people, it is a matter of the country, and the people and people's livelihood under their jurisdiction are regarded as the first priority! That's what an official should do! Only by doing this can there be a way back. ”

He said so much in one breath, and all the ministers listened carefully.

After he finished speaking, Jian Rong was also the first to stand up, and said with a whisker, "Your Majesty's golden mouth and jade words, Weichen has benefited a lot, and you must follow Your Majesty's teachings." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers also followed and said, "The ministers must follow His Majesty's teachings—"

"Alright." Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "I have said so much today, and I also hope that the secretaries can govern all places, now the world is decided, and all kinds of wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, and the country also needs the secretaries, and I also need the secretaries." ”

"The ministers must do their best to live up to your majesty's trust—" the ministers said in unison again.
