Chapter 43: You Are the Prime Minister!
"Your Majesty, the two ministers think that this reward is unfair and not enough to reflect General Gao's merits!" Ren Yan and Hu Yin looked at Lu Feng and said respectfully.
Lu Feng frowned slightly, the position of general can already be said to be below one person in the army and above ten thousand people, this reward is not fair?
What do these two mean?
He looked at Ren Yan and Hu Yin and asked, "What do you mean, two Qing families?"
"Your Majesty, General Gao's merits are huge, and the ministers and others suggest that the marquis of a thousand households be sealed in order to show General Gao's merits!" said Ren Yan, the secretary of the ministry.
"The minister thinks so!" Hu Yin also said.
Rising and falling!
Hearing Ren Yan's words, Lu Feng suddenly understood in his heart.
Although Qianhu Hou sounds more bullish, in fact, except for the title of a marquis, it is not very useful, and compared with the position of a general, it is more than a little worse.
These two people actually want to let themselves secretly descend to Gao Shun!
Lu Feng was immediately dissatisfied with these two people, and his face was also gloomy, now the most important ministers of the kingdom are not these so-called old ministers, but Gao Shun and Jia Xu!
The two of them are the foundation of everything that Lu Feng stands on!
Not to mention that Gao Shun still has a great merit in his hands now, but they let themselves secretly subdue Gao Shun, doesn't this make Gao Shun dissatisfied? This has to make Lu Feng doubt the purpose of these two people!
When Gao Shun heard this, he was a little worried, although he didn't have a special preference for official positions, but if he lost his position as a general, and fell into the name of a thousand marquis, it would be a very bad thing.
As a general, there is no one who does not want to be a general!
The most important thing is that he is worried that these old ministers of the two dynasties are dissatisfied with him, and now they are targeting him, and if he continues like this, it will definitely make His Majesty embarrassed.
With a slight groan, he took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully to Lu Feng: "Your Majesty, the marquis has always been the wish of the last general, and I hope that Your Majesty will become the last general!"
He didn't want to embarrass Lu Feng and took the initiative to give up the position of general!
Lu Feng didn't answer, but stared at Ren Yan and Hu Yin, and after a while, he stood up and said lightly: "General Gao, I said that you are a general, then you are a general!
"Your Majesty, no! General Gao ...... him"
"Shut up!"
Lu Feng glanced coldly at Ren Yan, who was speaking, and said: "Ren Qing's family, I don't want to know how you 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 are like disobeying the holy decree, and there will be no forgiveness!"
There is another important reason why Lu Feng wants to do this.
That is, these old ministers are all left by the emperor, and their loyalty is undoubted, but they are also very qualified, and no one in the court can compare with them in qualifications.
If you follow them today, what if you want to reward others in the future?
Like Jia Xu, is it possible that they want Jia Xu to be their subordinate?
Are they qualified to have Jia Xu as a subordinate?
No!
In terms of talent, Jia Xu is 100 times better than them, in terms of resourcefulness, Jia Xu is 100 times better than them, and in terms of military and political affairs, Jia Xu is also 100 times better than them!
It was impossible for Lu Feng to let Jia Xu be their subordinate.
Besides, he will summon the military generals of Wenchen in the future, and now the reward Gao Shun is blocked by them, and those Wenchen and military generals will come in the future, and the reward will be blocked again, what will he do as the emperor?
In the history of China, many emperors were restrained by ministers, and their lives can be said to be very aggrieved.
Lu Feng didn't want to be such an emperor.
Now, he wants to establish his own emperor majesty, he doesn't want these old ministers to think about how to be good for the Nanyan Kingdom every day, and only want to go against himself.
Therefore, no matter what their thoughts were now, Lu Feng had to cut off their thoughts now.
"Wait, take the order!"
Ren Yan and Hu Yin smiled bitterly, they could see that the new emperor was completely different from the previous emperor, he wanted absolute power, not being restricted by his own people.
And Gao Shun is obviously the most important link in his control of absolute power, so it is no wonder that he will not hesitate to reject the two of them.
"Gao Shun, this is the General's Tiger Talisman, you take it and retreat!" Lu Feng moved his hand, and handed a palm-sized token to Gao Shun.
Gao Shun knelt on his knees, raised his hands in front of him, and said respectfully: "Minister Gao Shun, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Gao Shun held the tiger talisman in both hands and stood respectfully to the side.
Lu Feng was looking at Jia Xu and said, "Jia Xu, this time you have a merit in killing the traitors, and you have even more merit in saving the driver before, you come to the court and be my left prime minister!"
"This ......"
Jia Xu was embarrassed, he thought about Lu Fengfeng giving himself a very high position, but he felt that it was mostly the position of a waiter, and it was impossible for him to stand too high so quickly.
But now it seems that he underestimated His Majesty's ambitions, and he directly made himself prime minister, making it clear that he didn't want the original courtiers to control the government.
However, his foundation is too shallow, will Ren Yan, the old ministers of the two dynasties, agree?
Jia Xu looked at Ren Yan and the other old ministers, and sure enough, he saw that their faces were ugly, thinking about it, they might think that the last prime minister would be selected from among them.
Unexpectedly, a Jia Xu came out halfway.
"Wenhe, still don't take the order?" Lu Feng looked at Jia Xu and smiled.
"Well, since Your Majesty values me so much, then I am still worried about what other people think?"
Jia Xu thought for a moment in his heart, immediately took a step forward, and said loudly: "Minister Jia Xu, thank you Lord Longen, the minister will definitely assist His Majesty in managing the government and return the courtiers of the Nanyan Kingdom to a bright future!"
"Okay! haha......"
Lu Feng laughed loudly and said, "Wenhe, those ministers killed today, except for Mo Dao's mansion, if you like the one, pick one and reward you!"
"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely choose well!" Jia Xu said.
On the other hand, Ren Yanhu led them to these old ministers, all of them did not look good, and they proposed that Feng Gaoshun Qianhu Marquis be vetoed, and now that the position of prime minister has been robbed, it would be strange if their faces could look good.
Of course, Lu Feng would not ignore them like this.
He rewarded his meritorious deeds one by one, and these old ministers were all made marquis of a thousand households by him.
After retreating from the dynasty, Lu Feng took Mulan back to the harem.
"Childe, if you do this today, aren't you worried that those old ministers will come to you to cry?" Walking on the harem road, Mulan stood beside Lu Feng and asked softly.
"It's better for them to come, and it's just for me to see what their purpose is, but don't want to control the government. Lu Feng sighed lightly.
In fact, there are some difficulties in his heart, if these old ministers really want to control the government, he must kill them.
Because he won't allow another powerful minister!
I only hope that they don't follow the old path of Modao, after all, they are loyal one by one, and they don't be blinded by the greed for power.
"Your Majesty, the four Shangshu are asking to see Your Majesty outside the imperial study. ”
At this time, a little eunuch walked quickly to Lu Feng and said respectfully.
"Sure enough, it's coming!"
