Chapter 21: Mission Accomplished Take control of the court

Soon, the people of the Seven Star Sect were slaughtered by the Praetorian Guards and the Heavenly Guards, and even the few elders of the Seven Star Sect who were fighting with Zhang Liang were also killed by Zhang Liang. After Qin Tian left a team of Praetorian Guards to clean the palace grounds, he led the remaining courtiers back to the Ming and Qing dynasties to continue the early dynasty.

Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the side quest: kill the people from the Seven Star Sect who provoke the majesty of the royal family, and get the task reward: level increase by three levels, a chance to summon! Ding, congratulations to the host for the level increase, the current realm is for the Jindan Sixfold. Ding, congratulations to the host realm for surpassing the Jindan Fivefold and rewarding a chance to summon! Hearing the prompt sound of the system, Qin Tian was secretly happy in his heart, this is another big gain!

In the court, those courtiers who had previously chosen to be neutral and wise to protect themselves were sitting in danger, for fear that Qin Tian's butcher's knife would behead them. Each of them had different looks and different official positions, but now, there was one thing that all of them were the same, their faces were pale, because all of them were frightened by Qin Tian's cruelty!

At this time, accompanied by the sharp voice of the imperial eunuch, all the courtiers began to bow to Qin Tian. Ministers, join Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! The courtiers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison at Qin Tian.

Their voices were very loud, and they couldn't wait to use all their strength to eat, for fear that they would be considered disloyal by Qin Tian and point the butcher's knife at themselves. This also led to a strange phenomenon, that is, there were only more than 30 courtiers left in the Ming and Ming dynasties, but the voice exceeded the voice of more than 100 courtiers in the past.

Qin Tian looked at them coldly, and asked, "What's the matter?" Are the ministers not eating well recently, and their faces are pale, do you want me to let the imperial doctor come and check your pulse? Oh, forgot, there is the imperial doctor among you. Hey, this Imperial Doctor, why are you so pale? Could it be that you are sick even if you are a Imperial Doctor?

The courtier's body was weak, he fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, the minister should not have chosen neutrality before, and did not relieve His Majesty's worries, the minister knows his mistake, and is willing to take out half a year's money to hand over to the treasury for the construction of the kingdom.

Seeing this, the other neutral ministers were overjoyed, it would be great if they could use money to save their lives, they were not so bad, so they said one after another: The ministers are also willing to give half a year of the money to the state treasury for the construction of the kingdom!

Qin Tian showed a satisfied smile, then stood up, looked at the minister under the dragon chair, and said lightly: I can no longer pursue the previous matter, but if you wait for me in the future, the yang will not be the yin and the yang will not be violated, and you will not do your best for the sake of Yanlong and me, then stop blaming me for raising the butcher's knife and killing me without forgiveness!

Qin Tian's words contained a strong killing intent, and the cold killing intent made these courtiers' bodies tremble, and the neutral courtiers responded one after another: The ministers must do their best for the country and His Majesty!

Very good! Qin Tian sat on the dragon again. Your Majesty, you have killed too many ministers before, and now the government of the kingdom needs to be presided over by ministers, and I hope that Your Majesty will deal with it at your discretion! At this time, Liu Ming, the secretary of the ministry, took a step forward and looked at Qin Tianjin and said.

He was reminding Qin Tian that he had given these ministers a stick, and they should also be given a little sweetness to taste! Only in this way could they truly do their best for the kingdom and the emperor.

Qin Tian naturally knew what Liu Ming meant, and he himself planned to do so. In his previous life, he read a lot of novels, film and television dramas, and he was no stranger to the use of the means of being a king.

Qin Tian said to Liu Ming: Liu Aiqing, this matter will be left to you to deal with, select suitable people from the remaining courtiers and officials promoted from the city below to supplement the official positions required to meet the current operation of the court, as for the other vacancies, don't move for the time being!

Gao Shun and Zhang Liang came out of the ranks, and Qin Tian shouted! Zhang Liang is now named the honorary prime minister of the kingdom, the chief military advisor of the army, and is given the title of Marquis Wencheng, and is temporarily in charge of the government, plus a reward of 10,000 gold, and 100 servants; Gao Shun is named the general of Shenwei, temporarily in charge of the Imperial City Guards, responsible for guarding the imperial city, and is given the title of Marquis of Loyalty, plus a reward of 1,000 gold, and 30 servants. After thanking Your Majesty, Zhang Liang and Gao Shun replied in unison!

Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this reward is unfair and not enough to reflect General Gao's merits! Liu Wei looked at Qin Tian and said respectfully. Qin Tian frowned slightly, the position of General Shenwei can be said to be the current senior general in the army, this reward is not fair?

What does this Liu Wei mean? He looked at Liu Wei and asked, "Liu Qingjia, what do you mean by this?" Your Majesty, General Gao's merits are huge, and the ministers suggest that the merit of General Gao be shown by giving him the title of Loyal and Righteous Marquis, giving 10,000 servants, and a reward of 10,000 gold, there is really no need to be awarded the post of Shenwei General more than once! Liu Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Qin Tian suddenly understood in his heart. This reward sounds very good, in fact, except for the title of a marquis and money, there is no real power, and compared with the position of the general of Shenwei, it is more than a star and a half.

This Liu Wei actually wanted to let himself ascend and descend to Gao Shun secretly! Qin Tian was immediately dissatisfied with Liu Wei, the old man, and his face immediately became gloomy, Qin Tian knew very well that the most important ministers of the Yanlong Kingdom now were not these so-called old ministers, but Gao Shun, Zhang Liang, these summoned characters who had already been born! Loyal summoned characters were one of the fundamentals of Qin Tian's foothold in this world!

Not to mention that Gao Shun still has great merit in hand, but Liu Wei let himself secretly descend to Gao Shun, doesn't this make Gao Shun dissatisfied? This has to make Qin Tian doubt Liu Wei's purpose!

When Gao Shun heard Liu Wei's words, he was a little worried in his heart, although he didn't particularly care about his official position, but if he lost the position of Shenwei General and only lost the name of a loyal and righteous marquis, it would be a very bad thing. As a military general, no one wants to become a senior military general who commands the army!

The main thing is that he is worried that this old minister will cause other courtiers to be dissatisfied with him, and he is so directed at himself, and if he continues, it will definitely embarrass His Majesty.

After careful consideration, Gao Shun took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and said to Qin Tian respectfully: Your Majesty, the title of marquis is already the greatest wish in the heart of the last general, as for the position of Shenwei General, the minister does not dare to have extravagant hopes, and hopes that His Majesty will become the last general! Gao Shun does not want to embarrass Qin Tian, and is willing to give up the position of Shenwei General!

Qin Tian didn't answer, but stared at Liu Wei for a while, then stood up and said lightly: General Gao, I said that you are the Great General of Shenwei, then you are the Great General of Shenwei!

Your Majesty, no! General Gao ...... Qin Tian looked coldly at Liu Wei who was speaking, and said: "Liu Qingjia, I don't want to know how you and other courtiers used to be ministers, I just want you to know now that my words are the holy decree, you can make suggestions, but you can't stop my words, those who violate it, like disobeying the holy decree, will be killed!"

Qin Tian wants to say this, and there is another important purpose, that is, to beat these old ministers left by the emperor. Their loyalty is unquestionable, but they are all old, and no one in the court can beat them in seniority. In case a minister relies on his seniority to bully the new minister in the future, thus delaying the government, this is not what Qin Tian wants to see!

If he follows Liu Wei's request today, and wants to be rewarded in the future, what should others do? Like Guo Jia and others, could it be that they want Guo Jia to be their subordinate? They are qualified to let Guo Jia be their subordinate? Not at all!

In terms of talent, Guo Jia is 100 times better than them; in terms of resourcefulness, he is also 100 times better than them; and in terms of military and political affairs, Guo Jia is also 100 times better than them! Qin Tian could not let these old ministers go offside.

Besides, he will summon the military generals of the civil and military forces in the future, and now the reward of Gao Shun will be blocked, and in the future, those civil and military generals will come, and then the reward will be blocked again, and then what should he do as the emperor? In the history of China, many emperors were restrained by their ministers, and their lives can be said to be very aggrieved. Qin Tian didn't want to be such an emperor, what Qin Tian really wanted to do was the emperor of Yiyantang!

Now, he wants to establish his own imperial majesty, he doesn't want these old ministers to think about how to be good for Yanlong every day, and only think about going against himself! Therefore, no matter what the old ministers' thoughts are now, Qin Tian must cut off their thoughts now.

Liu Wei smiled bitterly, they could see that the new emperor was completely different from the previous emperor, and what he wanted was absolute power, not being restrained by his own people. And Gao Shun is obviously an important figure in his control of absolute power, so it is no wonder that he will not hesitate to reject himself.

Gao Shun, this is the Shenwei Great General Talisman, you take it and retreat! Qin Tian moved his hand and handed a purple-gold token to Gao Shun. Gao Shun held the talisman in his hand and stood respectfully to the side.

Liu Ming and the other ministers looked at it and nodded secretly in their hearts. Although Qin Tian is only seventeen years old this year, the way he deals with problems is unimpeccable.

He not only established his majesty among the ministers and consolidated the government, but also bought the morale of the army.
