"I'm so tired!"

After a busy night's work, he finally settled all the twists and turns, and looked at the sky outside, which was still about an hour before the morning court.

"No, I'm going to get some sleep first."

Unable to care about anything else, he was so sleepy now that he fell asleep on the bed.

……

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court!"

"So fast?"

He rubbed his eyes, feeling like he was being called out as soon as he lay down.

"Your Majesty, if you don't go to the court this morning, you won't be on it first."

"No, let's change your clothes!"

"Yes!"

Pushing his tired body to change clothes, he patted his face, trying to keep his brain awake.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Let's get flat!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I have something big to announce."

"Zhao Kuo, you have been the prime minister for a long time!"

"Your Majesty, it's been thirty years."

"Aiqing, from now on, you may not be the prime minister, don't complain."

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and smiled at him.

"Your Majesty should have found a suitable virtuous person, the prime minister of Lao Chen has been doing it for a long time, and it is time to abdicate and make way for virtuous."

"You won't blame me!"

"Your Majesty is too worried, as long as the country can continue to grow stronger, you have no problem with letting the old ministers return to their support."

The other ministers also reacted at this time, Your Majesty is going to remove the prime minister!

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this!"

He didn't speak, just shook his head.

"Bring Li Wei up!"

"Pass Li Wei!"

As a figure walked in, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they saw that the person who came was extraordinary, and his heroic and righteous spirit was particularly dazzling.

"Your Majesty!"

"The decree is to dismiss Zhao Kuo from the post of prime minister and demote him to the secretary of the ministry, and Li Wei will take over the position of prime minister as the head of the hundred officials, and give him the post of "university scholar". ”

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!"

Zhao Kuo and Li Wei glanced at each other, but they didn't show much performance, and accepted the reward without humility or arrogance.

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate!"

……

Seeing that the minister was a little dissatisfied, he didn't want to deal with it, but he was afraid that these people would stumble on Li Wei's envoy, so it was better to beat it.

"Quiet!"

"Li Wei is a rare wise man, and I naturally have a reason to do this."

"Now I will tell you that from now on Li Wei is the prime minister, and his decision is my decision, if any of you dare to stumble on Li Wei, it will be a stumbling block for me, are they all white?"

The ministers were suddenly silent, and they didn't dare to object.

"Okay, what exactly do you want to do, I have already discussed it with Li Wei, you just do what you are told."

"Retreat!"

The ministers left the court indignantly, and then they all gathered around Zhao Kuo, most of these people are newcomers, and they have all received Zhao Kuo's favor to some extent, and now they are naturally on Zhao Kuo's side.

Compared with the intrigue of these literati, the military generals led by Wang Kai did not have so many eyes, and after greeting Li Wei, they went straight to the military camp outside the city.

"Alright, everyone be quiet."

Zhao Kuo waved his hand and signaled the surrounding ministers to be quiet.

"Your Majesty must have a reason for doing this, and the new prime minister has an extraordinary bearing, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance."

"We must do our best to cooperate, and don't forget His Majesty's advice to us."

"At the same time, I also advise you not to mess around, Your Majesty has already said hello, if you mess around again, the old man will not be able to protect you at that time."

"Yes!"

"Alright, let's all disperse! What kind of system is it that is noisy in the palace. ”

After speaking, he left the palace first, and chased straight towards Li Wei in the distance.

"Master Li, wait for my old bones."

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhao Kuo to come to him.

"Lord Zhao!"

Seeing Li Wei saluting him, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be a little flattered.

"Master Li, you are the prime minister, this is absolutely unacceptable."

Li Wei smiled but did not speak.

"What's the urgency of Lord Zhao looking for me?"

"Actually, it's nothing, I look at Lord Li's heroic righteousness, it should be Confucian!"

"That's right, it's indeed a Confucian student."

"Lord Li, don't take the words of those ministers to heart, I know that my ability is not good, and I can't be the prime minister, and I have been looking for a wise man to replace me all these years, but none of them are as fresh and refined as Mr."

"Lord Zhao praised it falsely!"

"Master Li doesn't have to be modest, although the old man is not capable, after all, he has eaten imperial food for decades, and his ability to see people is still good."

"Mr. is a great talent for governing the country at a glance, and where there is a need in the future, the old man will definitely help."

"Hou Sui is the hard work of my life, and seeing that Your Majesty has the help of a wise man like Lord Li, the old man is relieved."

"Don't worry, Lord Zhao, I will do my best."

Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction.

"Lord Li, why don't you come to my mansion and talk about the next law of governing the country by the way."

"That's great!"

The two came to Zhao's mansion talking and laughing, and Zhao Kuo enthusiastically put on the banquet.

The two chatted a lot at the dinner table, and Zhao Kuo admired Li Wei more and more, and the two chatted until late at night.

……

As night fell, a figure sneakily climbed into the palace and went straight to the imperial study where Yang Lie was resting.

"Your Majesty!"

"It's coming!"

"Your Majesty, Lord Li and Lord Zhao get along very well, and although the other ministers have a lot of complaints, they haven't done anything out of the ordinary."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard, it's all what subordinates should do."

"Keep watching!"

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"

The people slowly retreated, and a few dodged out of the palace.

Xiao Dezi on the side brought a cup of tea and carefully placed it on the table.

"Your Majesty, the number of secret guards has grown to three hundred, and now they are all over the country."

"Hmmm! You're doing a great job! ”

"The Dark Guard is very important to us, although it is still very weak, but it will definitely become my trump card in the future, you must have a snack."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, how dare the slave be careless."

"Hmmm! Let's go down! ”

"Yes!"

Glancing at the fold in his hand, he put it down casually, picked up the tea and took a sip.

The secret guard just now is an intelligence organization secretly formed by him, which is specifically responsible for collecting intelligence and supervising the whole country.

Although there are only 300 people now, he believes that in the future, it will grow bigger and bigger, until it will spread to all the surrounding countries.

This team is in charge of his personal eunuch Zheng De, and only the two of them know about it at the moment.

"The autumn harvest is over soon, and it's time to make some preparations."

Looking at the map on the wall, he now occupies the northern part of Qinghe County, and if he wants to expand, he can only attack to the south.

At present, there are two countries in the way, and now that winter is approaching, he does not want to start another army, everything can only wait until after spring ploughing.

However, as far as he knew, fighting had begun in the south, and several countries had already been annexed.

Although the situation is not very clear, if they are made bigger and stronger, it will inevitably become a stumbling block for him.

"Looks like we're going to pick up the pace!"
