Chapter 223: Stabilizing the Situation
The attitudes of the ghost cultivators are different, and the ending will naturally be different.
The few who refused to submit, without exception, were killed by a few old monsters, not to mention revenge, and now they can't even do ghosts.
Only then did the rest react, remembering who these people in front of them were, and in the eyes of these old monsters, this little bit of manpower was not enough to see.
What is called a person who knows the times as a junjie, at this time, this fine character is very much needed, and the ghost cultivators don't need anyone to take the lead, hula knelt down and shouted in unison: "Respectfully invite Emperor Ai Ghost to ascend the throne!"
Ai Yiding also let go, strode up the high platform, came to the throne and turned around and sat down.
After Ai Yiding sat down, the passion brought by his enthusiasm immediately cooled down, and he looked at those ghost cultivators, feeling that his head was a little wooden, and he subconsciously looked at Mu Jinyun.
Mu Jinyun glanced at him, and secretly cursed in his heart, there was no way, when he encountered this kind of wretchedness, he had no choice but to go over the kitchen and say in a deep voice: "The ghost emperor is in charge, and the ministers are flat!"
As soon as the words came out, the majesty of the superior came out spontaneously, and all the ghost cultivators stood up and stood up respectfully.
Mu Jinyun also felt a little difficult, although it was said that governing the country should be close to loyalty, goodness and treachery, but the situation of this side is special, whether it is a noble person, a lowly person, a good person, or a bad person, there is no one now.
To put it bluntly, there is no one available, only one old ghost of Ai Yiding, this is not good, if this matter is not dealt with, these ghosts will not be able to get out of the hall and immediately rebel.
As his mind turned, he pointed to the servant who had just reported the meritorious service.
"Come here!"
The attendant trembled and crawled to the bottom of the stage, kowtowing to the ground.
Mu Jinyun said kindly: "You don't have to be afraid, pass on the message of the ghost emperor, you have made meritorious contributions to the new emperor's accession to the throne, reward you as the head of the internal service, and all the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's Imperial Palace, you come up and stand beside me to speak." ”
The attendant was overjoyed when he heard this, this happiness came too suddenly, and this long-awaited high position suddenly fell in front of him.
From this point of view, for himself, it is not a bad thing to die an old ghost emperor, as long as the new ghost emperor on the stage can pass this hurdle safely, then he will also fly with him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly came to his senses, immediately got up, came to Mu Jinyun's side in a slip manner, and said respectfully: "Say hello to the adult, what do the adults command, just tell the villain, the villain will do it immediately!"
Mu Jinyun nodded, tried his best to be kind, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Back to the adult, the villain's name is Zhang Xiaowu. ”
Mu Jinyun read it silently, and said casually: "Zhang Xiaowu, this name is easy to remember, Xiao Wu, you can tell me, among these ghost cultivators below, which are the people who are dead old ghosts, you help me find them out!"
Zhang Xiaowu was frightened, opened his mouth and didn't dare to answer, Mu Jinyun glared at him, and threatened in a low voice: "Zhang Xiaowu, the time has come to test your loyalty, whether you are a supreme minister, or die immediately, you choose!"
What else is there to choose, Zhang Xiaowu turned his heart and flattered: "The adults misunderstood me, the villain is not hesitating, but screening it in his heart, the villain will identify those who are against the party for the adults one by one!"
As the saying goes, the villain has ambition, and the good man is unlucky, in fact, this sentence is not comprehensive, it should be said that it is more appropriate, the villain has ambition, and the enemy is unlucky.
Since Zhang Xiaowu decided to let it go, his cruel side was fully exposed.
What he thought in his heart was, whether he died or lived in the future, I was destined to offend a lot of people, whether this Ai Ghost Emperor could sit firmly in the seat, I don't know, I only know that if he is finished, I will be the first to die without a place to be buried.
In this case, let's come together, I can't get better, don't think about it well, take this opportunity to kill all the people who have offended me, even if Lao Tzu doesn't die well in the future, I have to let you die in front of me!
With poisonous thoughts in his heart, he was ruthless, with a cruel smile on his face, and identified the cronies of the Dead Ghost Emperor, and even the ghost cultivators who had a grudge against him.
Mu Jinyun's method of dealing with it is very simple, only one method is used, there is no forgiveness for killing!
As long as they are identified, regardless of whether they are indiscriminate or not, they will not listen to any explanation, and they will be killed on the spot.
Mu Jinyun knew very well in his heart that there must be manslaughter in this, but now he can only do this, in order to quickly calm down the situation, some people must make sacrifices, whether he wants to or not, whether he is wronged or not.
The cruel scene in the main hall frightened all the ghost cultivators so that their legs trembled, and they could no longer have a trace of determination to resist, and they all knelt on the ground, trembling like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
After killing a group of ghost cultivators like this, Mu Jinyun felt that it was almost over, they were all killed, who would sit in the yamen, who would lead the troops to fight, and some ghosts would have to be left to work.
Raising his hand, he signaled that Zhang Xiaowu didn't need to be corrected anymore, and said to him: "You go and count what positions those people who died today are? What vacancies are there in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, I will know quickly!"
Zhang Xiaowu bowed down to receive the order, found a pen and paper to list the vacant positions one by one.
Don't say it, this kid has an excellent memory, and the ghosts he killed just now remembered exactly what position he held when he was alive, and there was no deviation.
So don't offend the villain, you may not feel anything afterwards, he may remember you for a lifetime.
Zhang Xiaowu first counted the positions of those who were killed by his scourge, and then began to count the positions of those who were unwilling to surrender to the slain.
He can't remember all this, it's not that his memory is bad, it's mainly that the situation at that time was special, he was frightened by the six gods and no owner, lying on the ground and not daring to raise his head, he didn't look up, naturally he didn't see how many ghosts he killed, which idiots were destroyed.
But this is not difficult for him, he didn't see it, there are so many people down there, I don't believe it, I don't see it, just ask these people.
The surviving ghost cultivators in the hall saw Zhang Xiaowu walking towards them, one by one, as if they had seen a poisonous snake, they couldn't help but be afraid, and they all trembled and asked Manager Zhang for peace, and naturally cooperated with Manager Zhang's inquiry.
It didn't take long to count the positions of those people.
Zhang Xiaowu felt a little fluttering, those ministers had no previous arrogance, fearful eyes, and respectful attitude, which made him sincerely feel a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before.
It turned out that the feeling of power was like this, Zhang Xiaowu's heart began to sprout, and he already hoped that Emperor Ai Ghost would be able to consolidate the country forever and be evergreen.
If Zhang Xiaowu was forced to be helpless before, now he is doing real things, and he came to Mu Jinyun at a trot, and presented the statistical results with both hands.
Mu Jinyun took the list, unfolded it, and said secretly in his heart: "Heh, it's really not a small killing, there are so many vacancies, and the highest position is actually a prime minister." ”
These ghost cultivators were all human beings in their previous lives, and their positions in the court were very similar to those of the Terran court, and Brother Mu could also understand it.
While he was thinking about it, Zhang Xiaowu said boldly: "Adult, the villain has a suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
Mu Jinyun looked at him with interest and encouraged: "Okay, tell me, what suggestions do you have?"
Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "The villain saw that the adults were fascinated by this list, and the villain dared to guess that the adults wanted to fill these vacancies and planned to stabilize the situation in the Eastern Ghost Country as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought!"
"In this way, the villain has the courage to give the adults an idea, and the adults can call the deputies of the vacant yamen, preferably those thousand-year-old ones, and let them take up the main posts, presumably they will do their best to assist Your Majesty under the gratitude of Dade. ”
Mu Jinyun's eyes lit up, to be honest, he was really worried, there were so many vacant positions, even if all Ai Yiding's relatives were transferred, it would not be enough.
In addition, there will be many drawbacks to appointing Ai Yiding to take office in person, one is that the airborne high-ranking officials, and the old people in the yamen are not convinced. The second is that the soldiers are not familiar with each other, and it takes time to run in with each other. The third is that those relatives are uneven, and they are afraid that they will miss their own major events.
Just because he has no idea, this Zhang Xiaowu came up with a good idea for himself, and took the opportunity to raise all those talented and unambitious millennium children in the yamen, and this problem will be solved.
And it can buy the hearts of these people, so that they are willing to serve the new dynasty.
Mu Jinyun was overjoyed and immediately said, "Okay, not bad, it's a good idea." ”
Looking at Zhang Xiaowu, his mind turned, this kid is both ruthless and talented, he can't be placed by Ai Yiding's side, that fool is not his opponent, he needs to be sent out of the palace.
After pondering for a while, Mu Jinyun made up his mind, and said to Zhang Xiaowu with a kind face: "Xiaowu, you are very good, don't be the head of the housekeeping." ”
Zhang Xiaowu's face fell, thinking that this was to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but he heard Mu Jinyun say: "I see that there is a vacancy in the post of prime minister, I want to appoint you as the first assistant of the court, are you willing?"
Venus was shining in front of him, Zhang Xiaowu only felt a little dizzy in his head, the stimulation he was receiving today was too great, making him feel like he was born and died, and then died and came back to life.
Hurriedly knelt down on his knees: "Weichen thanks Lord for his grace, Xiao Wu is not talented, dare not follow the work of dogs and horses!"
Zhang Xiaowu is not stupid, now he completely understands that the one on the seat is just an ornament, this is the real ghost emperor, just a living person.
Mu Jinyun laughed, asked him to get up, and ordered him to list all the suitable candidates for each yamen, and then notify those people to be present, the sooner the better.
Prime Minister Zhang accepted the order happily, and immediately threw himself into the work energetically, and called a few ghost cultivators from His Royal Highness who usually got it, and drew up a list of reserve candidates together.
Mu Jinyun knew that it was estimated that this kid took the opportunity to install a lot of his own people!
But this kind of thing can't be avoided, there are some things that those in power can only pretend to be confused, and when the water is clear, there are no fish!
