Just when Xu Rong was sneering, a group of imperial guards came from outside the peach garden, more than eighty people, all of them were wearing brocade robes, and the dragon spirit tiger suddenly walked into the peach garden, followed by a tall carriage.

When the guards saw the scene in the open space in the middle of the peach orchard, they couldn't help but stop to see what was going on. A man dressed as a eunuch in the carriage stuck out his head, and he was about to urge the guards forward, but when he saw the crowd in the clearing, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Su Qin looked at the guards and the carriage, and had already guessed that they were the ones who had been ordered to come to announce the edict. Su Qin saw the person leaning out of the carriage again and recognized him as Feng Zhongshu, the personal eunuch beside Zhao Hou.

Su Qin didn't care about the generals and soldiers guarding around him, walked forward quickly, hugged his fists and bowed: "See Feng Zhongshu."

Feng Zhongshu was startled when he saw Su Qin's embarrassed appearance, and said, "Who is so bold as to dare to attack Prime Minister Su Cheng and toss you like this." ”

Xu Rong saw that the imperial guards were already empty, and he didn't dare to come forward to interrogate or talk, and he saw Su Qin and a eunuch in the carriage there, and he panicked in his heart.

At this time, Feng Zhongshu had already got off the carriage, and he went to the open space and said, "Su Qin listens to the order. Su Qin knelt on the ground and said, "Su Qin is here." ”

Feng Zhongshu raised his eyes and looked at Su Qin, and read out Zhao Hou's edict on the spot: "On the order of Zhao Hou, Su Qin will be appointed as the prime minister of Zhao State, and he will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inspect things from now on." Chin this. ”

Su Qin said: "Obey, thank you!" He stood up and took the edict. Then he went to see Feng Zhongshu on the carriage and watched him leave the peach garden.

The soldiers who took care of the peach garden were all bluffed there when they saw the battle of the palace guards, and they were even more stunned when they heard that Su Qin was sealed on the spot as the prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people. Therefore, Su Qin, who was still a guilty person just now, went to send Feng Zhongshu at this time, which of these people dared to stop him?

Xu Rong witnessed the process of Su Qin being named prime minister, and he was even more frightened, standing there like a chicken. Su Qin said goodbye to Feng Zhongshu and turned around, Xu Rong reacted, and he immediately scolded the soldiers and told them to evacuate quickly.

Some of the soldiers who were half a beat slow to react didn't understand it, and stood there stunned. Xu Rong then stepped forward and kicked the stunned soldiers and told them to leave the clearing quickly.

Ning Jun and the others in the open space were already cheering at this time, and now it was finally time for them to raise their eyebrows.

Xu Rong secretly wanted to slip away, but Su Qin stepped over in two steps and stopped in front of him, not allowing him to leave.

Xu Rong laughed with him, bowed down to apologize, and said: "The villain is really damned, I don't know Prime Minister Su Cheng's respect, and I hope Prime Minister Su Cheng will forgive his sins." ”

Su Qin saw that he still had a fluke mentality, thinking that he could be fooled, he pulled out the Qingshuang Sword under his waist with a sigh of relief, and immediately put it on Xu Rong's neck, and scolded: "You shameless villain, now you want to slip away by saying a few soft words, you can't help but think too beautifully." ”

As he spoke, Su Qin Qingshuang slashed his sword towards Lu, and shaved off a large piece of Xu Rong's shoulders with flesh and skin.

Xu Rong was in unbearable pain, his hand covered his shoulder, and the roots of his teeth trembled. A few of his entourage in front of him saw that their commander had suffered a loss, and they were about to step forward to help, but Ning Jun broke off beside him: "The new Prime Minister of Zhao State, Su Qin, is here, which of you dares to mess around." ”

Those soldiers have all experienced the entire edict process, who doesn't understand Su Qin's noble status at this moment, and now, Ning Jun is standing majestically beside Su Qin, and they don't dare to act rashly.

Su Qin observed: Although Xu Rong was afraid, he was still standing there, and he had already given him a sword, and he was still a little frivolous. Xu Rong thought that Su Qin was a weak literati and couldn't be ruthless, so he faintly had the idea of slipping away.

Seeing this, Su Qin simply swiped the Qingshuang Sword into his neck again, and immediately wiped out a blood mark. If you go half an inch deeper, where is there still life. As the prime minister, he killed him Xu Rong, even if he did, he was just losing his office, but he Xu Rong was gone.

Xu Rong was so frightened that his legs trembled, his legs were bent and weak, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

Su Qin put the Qingshuang sword around his neck and scolded: "I think I, Su Qin, am a foreigner who can be slaughtered by others, and I want to break ground on my head, which is too arrogant." ”

Xu Rong was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head, listening to Su Qin's reprimand honestly. Su Qin immediately counted his indecent Kabuki and fake public and private behaviors, and convicted him of a serious crime.

At the end, Su Qin said: "You thing full of evil, if I don't punish you, I'm afraid you won't know how many people you will harm and bully in the future." ”

Su Qin then asked people to find ropes, tied Xu Rong up, and took it to the prime minister's mansion to dispose of it. He also ordered the soldiers who came to Peach Garden with Xu Rong to make trouble disperse by themselves. He said, "You have been instructed by others, and you are not willing to do it yourself, so I will spare you for the time being." ”

Those people saw that Su Qin had spared themselves, and the leader saw that he had lost his power again, which one dared to be disobedient. They were busy saying nice words, such as "adults have a great abundance," "grace," and so on, and they hurriedly scattered and fled.

After a night of tossing, the peach garden was full of desolation, the flowers and trees were trampled to the ground, and the ground was full of eating and drinking leftover filth, and the key was the miscellaneous servants and maiko, who were scared away by Xu Rong. There are also guests who have come here for recreation, and I don't know when they will dare to come here again.

Su Qin endured his anger and arranged for the aftermath, he brought Ning Jun and Chen Dan alone, and asked them to gather some new people as soon as possible to reopen the business of Taoyuan. Su Qin specially explained to the two of them: entrust the people who stayed in the peach garden last night with important tasks one by one, and use them as the backbone to rebuild the peach garden.

After Su Qin gave the order, he thought for a while: "This torture is not all bad for the Peach Garden, after this time, all the original people of the Meng family have been dispersed, and it is just right to establish a Peach Garden that is all his cronies." Xu Rong inadvertently sifted the peach garden, removed the sediment, and left the essence. ”

After Su Qin took care of the affairs in the peach garden, he escorted Xu Rong and went straight to the prime minister's official residence. The residence was a large courtyard located just outside the eastern wall of Handan Palace.

After Su Qin's carriage entered the prime minister's mansion, he immediately announced the appointment of Zhao Hou to more than 100 officials of all levels and more than 200 warriors in the official residence, and handed Zhao Hou's edict to the high-ranking officials of the prime minister's mansion for inspection.

After the officials in the front row saw the edict, they immediately knelt on the ground and paid homage to the new prime minister, and the people in the back row saw that the front row had already knelt down, and they did not bother to read the edict carefully, so they simply knelt down immediately.

Su Qin announced the words of exhortation to everyone, and he understood that the first instruction had to be concise and clear in order to be impressive. So he briefly proclaimed three directives: officials at all levels should be diligent, loyal to the state, and obey the orders of their superiors; There is no intrigue and no wind and waves in the prime minister's house; If anyone dares to disobey, he will be severely punished.

Those officials and warriors listened to Su Qin's decree, and felt in their hearts that Su Qin was not completely ignorant of government affairs, and judging from his words, he looked like an old official who was good at political affairs.

What they didn't know was that Su Qin actually applied the set of business management to political affairs, but according to the words in the "Book of Books", he embellished that set of methods when expressing them, which was very innovative and appropriate.

Su Qin himself also felt more deeply when he announced: "The various affairs in the world are basically the same, but they are modified or increased or lost with different fields of application.

Su Qin spent an hour meeting with the people in the official residence and issued a message of admonition. After that, he went to the Prime Minister's Hall in the center of the official residence.

I saw that the Prime Minister's Hall was more than three zhang deep and about seven zhang wide. In the center are several seats of the prime minister, and more than 20 guest seats are distributed on both sides. On each side of the lobby there are two adjoining bedrooms, which appear to be used by the prime minister for temporary rest.

Su Qin walked straight to the prime minister's table and sat down, and looked at the documents and tokens and other items on the case. Familiarize yourself with the environment. Then, he shouted to the guard at the door.

Hearing this, the guards entered the hall, knelt on the ground and asked Su Qin what he commanded.

Su Qin asked him to find the Governor of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the official residence and asked him to come and obey the order. After receiving the order, the guards immediately went to find someone. After a while, a heroic military officer in his thirties came, and he asked to see the prime minister.

Su Qin sat majestically in the hall, and heard outsiders declare that his surname was Zhou Mingshao, his voice was loud, crisp and powerful, and his first impression was good. He then ordered the guards to bring him in.

Zhou Shao entered the hall, of course, he was the first to kneel and bow, because the prime minister is second only to the monarch in the political affairs of a country, so all the officials must bow down when they see the prime minister.

Su Qin said: "Zhou Duwei is exempt from courtesy, please sit down." He looked dignified, but his tone of voice was a little polite to his subordinates.

Zhou Shao glanced at Su Qin a few times, and saw that he was similar in age to himself, with extraordinary energy, and spoke in a calm tone, and suddenly felt that the new prime minister was more friendly, so he didn't have much politeness with Su Qin, and sat on the guest seat.

Su Qin said: "I happened to meet a general who broke into the people's house last night, deliberately made trouble, and ruined the people's daughter, and he has been taken down and escorted to the gatehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

He first convicted Xu Rong, and then instructed Zhou Shaodao: "You go and bring this person to me, and we will interrogate him together, convict him according to the rules, and also check whether he has any accomplices." ”

Zhou Shao heard Su Qin say that he had caught the general, looked up at Su Qin, and thought: "The new prime minister seems to be civil, but it is not easy to personally hold a military attaché." Still having some doubts in his heart, he took the order and left.

The gatehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not far away, Zhou Shao led the ten guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he rushed there, and when he saw Xu Rong himself, he found that Xu Rong was really a real general.
