Chapter 25 Folk Trends Xiao He was shocked

The next day, the people of the royal capital of the Yanlong Kingdom spread the news that during yesterday's competition, Gao Yu led the Seven Star Sect and more than 100 courtiers to rebel, and was killed by the emperor.

It is even rumored that 80% of the family members of some courtiers were beheaded, and the remaining female dependents were even more miserable. Even overnight, the places on the shore of Yanlong Lake where the rebellious courtiers lived, blood flowed like rivers, and the miserable screams continued all night!

No, in the restaurant, many literati and scholars were discussing this matter, and the storyteller made everyone applaud continuously! Suddenly, a voice dissatisfied with the emperor sounded.

Hmph, what kind of emperor is this? Within a few days of ascending the throne, he knew about lewd women. Yesterday, Prime Minister Gao and these ministers entered the palace to support His Majesty's martial arts competition, and they were slaughtered, and I looked at the Dog Emperor, sooner or later, he would be punished by heaven! A young man dressed in splendid Chinese clothes snorted angrily.

Yo! Young Master Li, is your family's backer implicated and beheaded by Your Majesty, and your family has no backer, so you cursed Your Majesty! You are talking nonsense, I am talking about the atrocities of this emperor, what does it have to do with my family's backer?

Young Master Li snorted: Do you think that the Yanlong Kingdom will be able to survive in the hands of such a tyrant again? I think in a few years, the Yanlong Kingdom will die!

Alas, who says no! Such atrocities, the slaughter of courtiers, the sharp reduction of the ministers of the court, and the beheading of tens of thousands of people implicated, I think our kingdom will be finished sooner or later! Yes! Now the hope of the kingdom is only the king of Zhennan, and only by making him the emperor can the kingdom have a future!

As soon as this person's words fell, a young man with a sword at his waist stood up from his position by the window, stared at these so-called literati and scholars, and snorted coldly: Your Majesty today is a rare Ming monarch in my Yanlong Kingdom for hundreds of years.

Young Master Li snorted coldly, stared at this young man with a sword, and said, "Xiao He, what do you know?" Killing more than 100 courtiers, this can also be regarded as a Ming Jun? I see that you have read all the books about pigs!

Xiao He smiled disdainfully and said: The so-called hundreds of courtiers only know the prime minister of the Yanlong Kingdom, but they don't know that there is an emperor in the Yanlong Kingdom.

Haha, that's a good point! As soon as his words fell, a middle-aged man's laughter came. Immediately after, Zhang Liang walked in with dozens of Tingtianwei. Listen to the guards?

Previously, when Young Master Li saw the people behind Zhang Liang, his face was immediately pale as paper, he knew that last night he was listening to Tianwei and leading people to raid the house and slaughter the families of more than 100 courtiers, and also slaughtered all the related people, they were all executioners in Qin Tian's hands. Could it be that the conversation just now came into the ears of Tingtianwei, if so, then it would be troublesome.

Zhang Liang looked at Xiao He and said with a smile: This son has far-reaching knowledge, I will introduce you to meet Your Majesty, and when Your Majesty is satisfied, you will become an official in the court, and you will be regarded as a glorious ancestor!

Xiao He was overjoyed, he had long wanted to defect to Qin Tian, become an official in the court, and do a great career, but he didn't have a chance! Now that he had this good opportunity, how could he miss it? Xiao He hurriedly said: Xiao He, thank you, Prime Minister!

Zhang Liang glanced at Xiao He with some surprise, and asked suspiciously: "Do you know me?" Behind the adults are all listening to Tianwei, and they are very respectful to adults, and adults are dressed as scholars, so under this situation, there are only two people in the kingdom who have such qualifications, one is the current Your Majesty Qin Tian, and the other is to listen to the commander of the founder of Tianwei, Master Zhang Liang! Xiao He explained!

Haha, you are really extraordinary, so you can guess my identity, Zhang Liang said with a smile! Lord Zhang's prestige has spread all over the royal capital overnight, even if I don't want to know, it's difficult!

It's a pity that it's not a good reputation!" Zhang Liang shook his head and smiled. Xiao He didn't answer, because it was indeed not a good reputation. As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!

Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go, I'll take you into the palace to meet Your Majesty!" Zhang Liang left with Xiao He, and when Xiao He left, he glanced at the few literati here who had cursed the emperor before, after all, Tingwei was not here to eat. Sure enough, after he left, Tingtianwei immediately took away the few people who dared to be disrespectful to the emperor before, and the end can be imagined!

Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang Liang asked to see you! Xiao Guizi, the eunuch in the imperial study, stood respectfully in front of Qin Tian to report his respect. Zhang Liang? Qin Tian put down his hand and said, "Let him come in! Yes! Xiao Haizi stepped back and went to inform Zhang Liang of the face saint!"

Soon, Zhang Liang strode into the imperial study, his face was full of joy, looking at Qin Tian, he was about to kneel down and salute. After stopping Zhang Liang from saluting, Qin Tian looked at Zhang Liang with a happy face and asked, "Ofan, you are full of joy, do you have anything good to tell me?"

Your Majesty, Shengming, guessed my mind at once. Zhang Liang said with a smile. Okay, when will you Zhang Liang ever be a sycophant? Qin Tian said again: Say, what kind of good thing, share it with me! I have found a top internal affairs talent for Your Majesty! Zhang Liang said excitedly.

On the way to the palace before, Zhang Liang and Xiao He talked a lot, and knew that Xiao He was a really talented person, especially in dealing with court affairs and internal affairs, he was more than a star and a half better than him! This made him very happy, you must know that he was worried about how to deal with this vacant official position in the court!

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Qin Tian said excitedly: Bring it in and let me take a look!

Zhang Liang answered, walked out of the imperial study, and walked in with a young man in a simple robe. The young man's facial features are upright, and he is a little handsome, and his eyes are full of wisdom.

When Qin Tian saw him, his eyes lit up. Xiao He, meet Your Majesty, long live our emperor, long live, long live! Xiao He knelt on the ground and shouted. It's really Xiao He!

Qin Tian was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect it to really be Xiao He, what's wrong with the system, has he changed his temperament?

Qin Tian suppressed the excitement in his heart, stared at Xiao He, and pretended to say: I heard that the ovary said that you are a top internal affairs talent, but I don't believe it, let me test you well, it's no problem, right?

Your Majesty, please ask for a question, Xiao He said with confidence on his face! It's not a topic, it's just some government issues! Qin Tiandao: You should have heard of the government of the kingdom, I killed more than 100 courtiers yesterday, and now there is a big vacancy in the official position of the courtiers, and the ovary has given me some advice, but it is difficult to achieve results in the short term, you can tell me, what should I do?

After thinking for a while, Xiao He muttered: Your Majesty, if there is a way to solve this problem, will Your Majesty let me enter the court as an official?

Be bold Xiao He, don't hurry up and apologize to Your Majesty! Zhang Liang heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly said. It's okay! Qin Tian stopped Zhang Liang's words. Qin Tian said to Xiao He: If you can answer, then there is still a lack of a right prime minister in the court, so it doesn't hurt for you to be the one! If you can't answer, your head may have to move!

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qin Tian incredulously, he would actually give such a reward as the right prime minister? The Yanlong Kingdom has a left prime minister and a right prime minister, and the right prime minister is above the left prime minister, and his position is more important than himself.

Qin Tian had his own plans in his heart, Xiao He's talent was undoubtedly his core subordinate, if the official position he gave him was too small, even if he had ninety points of loyalty, he would inevitably feel dissatisfied in his heart. If he openly gave Xiao He a high position, those old ministers would definitely unite desperately to impeach him!

Although he didn't care, after all, these old ministers were the former heroes of the Yanlong Kingdom, and their opinions were also very important, so he couldn't completely ignore them! In addition, there were many of their protégés and former officials, and it was not a good thing for him to completely ignore them.

Therefore, with such a bet and arranging a position by himself, at most, these old ministers mean that he acted recklessly, but he didn't dare to say anything else, let alone let him take back his life. Because it's about the majesty of the emperor!

When Xiao He can really show it, I believe that these people will naturally not say more bad things about themselves, but will praise their wise deeds.

Xiao He continued: "Your Majesty, then let's talk about what you think in your heart! Qin Tian only heard Xiao He say: Your Majesty, in fact, this is not a difficult thing at all!

According to the minister's thoughts, these positions can be eliminated just right, not only can more power be concentrated in the hands of a few henchmen, which is conducive to His Majesty's control of power, but also can make the treasury less a huge expenditure, and there will be fewer money-greedy officials, and the people of the kingdom will have a better life!

Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xiao He to come up with such a solution! Indeed, since ancient times, redundant officials and redundant soldiers have been one of the fundamental reasons for the fall of the kingdom.

Qin Tian asked: Xiao He, why did you say such a method? Xiao He replied: Your Majesty, you may not know anything! Before Gao Yu became the prime minister, there were not so many ministers in the kingdom's court, only less than a hundred. This is all because Gao Yu instigated the emperor to set up many unwarranted positions in order to better control the government, so as to achieve his goal of dividing the power of those ministers who did not support him, so after more than ten years, there will be more than 300 courtiers in the court.

Qin Tian turned his head to look at Zhang Liang and asked him if this was the case. Zhang Liang nodded. After Qin Tian knew this, he looked at Xiao He and said with a smile: "Xiao He! It seems that you know a lot about the government of the kingdom!"

Xiao He Dao: Your Majesty, the ancestors under me are also ministers of the Yanlong Kingdom, but the family road in the back is defeated, and no one enters the court as an official. But he has always paid attention to the government and politics, and is always ready to serve His Majesty!

Qin Tian heard Xiao He's answer and nodded with satisfaction. So he said to Xiao He seriously: Xiao He, come forward and listen to the seal. The minister is here, Xiao He replied!

Qin Tian continued: I have great talent in observing the Yanlong Wanderer today, and I am specially named the right prime minister of the Yanlong Kingdom, and from now on, I will enter the court and participate in politics! Minister, thank my emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Xiao He knelt on the ground, respectfully performing the courtesy of the monarch and ministers! Xiao He, you go to Sun Xiang, the head of the household department, to get the official residence, and go back to rest! Yes, the minister retired! Xiao He turned around and left!
