Hua Qiongfang got the order and left with a confident smile, although she was a woman, she was also eager to cross the sea of stars, and the people of the Evil God Palace were even more eager to make meritorious contributions, and they had long been looking forward to the order. As soon as the order arrived, there was a thunderous roar of joy, and the entire Divine Soul Country was like a huge war machine.

Dealing with a small galaxy with only two habitable stars, Chen Qing never thought that he would lose, the only thing that worried him was what kind of overreaction the Meilun Empire would have, and the issue of military salaries. Now the Divine Soul Country is secretly building giant warships and interstellar fortresses, the finances are already tight, the cannon is fired ten thousand crystals, and the war is about money and human life, if it can loot the other party's treasury, it is okay, I am afraid that the other party will transfer the treasury, and I must find a way to obtain that wealth.

The matter of robbing the other party's treasury was handed over to the earth demons, and Ghost Li was also sent to cooperate, but it was really not good Chen Qing didn't mind doing it himself.

The Divine Soul Kingdom began to transfer troops to the border, such a big movement could not be concealed at all, the news was quickly rebroadcast, and the Dark Alliance sold the news as soon as possible, and before the assembly was completed and the war was announced, the envoy of the Meilun Empire came to the door, Chen Qing had already prepared for this, and planned to summon him in the court.

Chen Qing rarely comes to the court, his throne is almost an ornament, usually Hua Qiongfang, who is the queen, presides over the court on the seat next to her, although some ministers who do not belong to the Evil God Palace have complaints, but they dare not say anything if their positions are not enough. As soon as Chen Qing came, these people were overjoyed, and they thought that Chen Qing would change his ways and no longer indulge in the harem, and he would be a Ming Jun.

Seeing the reactions of these people, the ministers belonging to the Evil God Palace all held back their laughter, how did those people know that Chen Qing had been running around for the development of the Divine Soul Country, and he rarely could stop. Looking at Chen Qing, who was very uncomfortable sitting on the throne in a royal robe, he didn't know who took the lead, so he finally laughed, and the next moment the court was full of laughter. As the queen, Hua Qiongfang also covered her mouth and smiled, glaring at Chen Qing, who was sitting on her buttocks like a nail, and was just about to open her mouth to quiet down, when a good drink came out.

"Presumptuous, the king came to the court in person, but you and others laughed so much, it is simply unseemly, and please ask the king to treat these people for the crime of disrespect. ”

With the words, a white-bearded old man strode out of the middle of the civil official, this old man had a ruddy face and a straight body, but his face was upright, and the laughter immediately stopped abruptly, but someone couldn't help but squirt a few times in a row, and was stopped by his companion stepping on his foot and pulling his arm.

Looking at the old man who bowed down, Chen Qing couldn't remember the other party's position and name, and habitually reached out to scratch his head, but Hua Qiongfang pressed his wrist without a trace, and the soft words also floated into his ears.

"This is Wangcheng Linggong Sun Zuo, a famous family in Wangcheng, the family has been an official for generations, when the Cao family left, he was reluctant to follow the family business, I saw that he was familiar with government affairs and retained his official position. ”

Hearing Hua Qiongfang's words, Chen Qing's face was immediately full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand to open his mouth to a group of officials from the Evil God Palace, "Zuo Lao is so right, these guys are simply bastards, but the crime of great disrespect is a bit too heavy, just drag it out and whip ten whips for one person." ”

Sitting there, all his subordinates laughed, Chen Qing took the opportunity to take revenge, Fang Zheng and his gang are all rough and thick-skinned, most of them are not low-level, and they don't care about so many times, I don't think this old man is shouting again.

"Your Majesty, the country must be governed according to the law, and the crime of disrespect can be big or small, the big one will be beheaded all over the house, and the small one will be punished and demoted. The ministers laughed but had no malice, the punishment was enough, they were all pillars of the country, and if they were pulled out and flogged, they would become a laughing stock of other countries, and the king should be cautious. ”

"Forehead ......"

As soon as he went to the court, he was laughed at first, and then he was educated, which made Chen Qing groan, and the ministers who belonged to the Evil God Palace below had strange faces, and they couldn't bear to laugh and endure extremely hard. However, Chen Qing also launched a counterattack when he was unhappy, although what the old man said was reasonable, but when he said it above the court, he was a little fond of it.

"Wang Chengling didn't know that because the war was imminent, these ministers had already donated all their family property to serve as military expenses, and they could only drink the northwest wind if they were fined. I think so, how about letting them make meritorious contributions to see the aftermath?"

"Do as the king commands!"

This royal city order was also very happy, and immediately agreed, just when Chen Qing thought that he was finished and wanted to summon the envoy of the Meilun Empire into the palace, this royal city order opened his mouth again.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has not returned for a long time, and we have only heard of his name and have not seen him, and many government affairs cannot be handled, so I also ask the king to choose another person to temporarily replace the prime minister. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qing's eyes were stunned, and then he saw that those officials who did not belong to the Evil God Palace were all looking forward to it, and he sneered in his heart, and at first he thought that this old man was showing loyalty. Now it seems that this is cannon fodder pushed out, and someone wants to seize the position of prime minister of Hong Lao.

"Wang Chengling, with your position, you shouldn't say such things, right? The prime minister is going to do big things, and after a few ......"

Ling Dong, who is now the chief soldier of the Capital Star, saw Chen Qing's displeasured face, and immediately spoke, and before he finished speaking, Chen Qing waved his hand to stop it. Before he said that many ministers had donated their family property, but these people were all indifferent, and they coveted the position of prime minister one by one, which made him even more angry, but he still smiled and spoke.

"Gongsun Zuo is old, but he has not yet done his best for the rise and fall of the country, and his heart is commendable. Since you are so loyal, I will give you a great fortune, recruit all the men of the Gongsun clan to enlist in the army, go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, and wait for the triumphant return of everyone to pay homage to the prime minister. ”

One sentence completely made Gongsun Zuo dumbfounded, as if he was petrified and stood there, with a wave of his hand, several palace guards escorted him down, Chen Qing said that all the men in the Gongsun family, of course, including him.

The sudden change made other officials who did not belong to the Evil God Palace frightened, but at the end of the civil official, a minor official turned around and walked outside the hall, and casually threw away the official hat on his head.

"Who's that, come back to me, what do you mean?"

This person Chen Qing didn't know either, he wasn't afraid that someone would oppose him, what he was afraid of was that the other party wouldn't say it, under the signal of his eyes, Ling Dong and several military attachés rushed out and dragged this person in.

"Let go of me, I can't resign, do you still have any heavenly reason!"

This man looks ordinary, what is impressive is that there is a big black mole on his face, as soon as he was dragged in, he yelled, Chen Qing waved his hand, and everyone let him go, don't look young, the cultivation realm is not bad, it is already the realm of the soul emperor, and there is a fight with Ling Dong.

"This person Qiao Wenzhi, a talent selection exam was held a while ago, he ranked first, and he has a lot of insights into the way of governing the country, so I asked him to familiarize himself with government affairs in the court first. ”

Hua Qiongfang reminded again, this time Chen Qing's eyes lit up, and he knew that due to the withdrawal of the Cao family, many officials followed, and a large number of positions were vacated in the Divine Soul Country, even if many people from the Evil God Palace filled it, it was still a drop in the bucket. In addition, many old officials have bad deeds and still have to be investigated, so there is this talent selection exam, which is the reference of millions of talents in China, and it is definitely not easy to be the first to take the exam.

"Why didn't you say a word and turn away?"

Chen Qing asked knowingly, and people obviously thought that he was inappropriate in dealing with Gongsun Zuo, but Chen Qing still wanted to hear what else he could say.

This Qiao Wenzhi was also bold, shook his messy hair, and looked at Chen Qing without fear.

"This court is a joke, why don't I leave and stay here?"

"Bold ......"

Everyone shouted in unison, but Chen Qing waved his hand to stop it, "It's really a joke, I'm not good at governing the country, and I have to rely on the assistance of the ministers." In fact, I might as well not come to this court, and I will affect your performance. ”

Qiao Wenzhi immediately answered, "Not only should you not come, but you shouldn't let there be foreign ministers in this court, you and those henchmen and courtiers are instinctively united, and with these furnishings, the foreign ministers still have elbows and elbows, it is better not to have them." ”

"Oh, how do you know that those people are my confidants, and which ones are not? If I don't come, won't I be said to be mediocre and the queen's tyranny?"

In response to Chen Qing's question, Qiao Wenzhi sneered, "A group of ministers who take the lead are all your retainers and slaves, and it's ridiculous to pity those fools who still want to fight for power and profit." ”

One sentence offended all the officials who were not the Evil God Palace, but they were stunned when they heard this, and then they remembered that some other ministers usually like to wear headbands to cover their foreheads, even the queen, and the relationship between them does not seem to be ordinary, and the tacit understanding between them is even more extraordinary, which has not been seen in the court in the past.

"Good eyesight!"

Chen Qing was tantamount to acknowledging Qiao Wenzhi's words, and for a while, the ministers who were not from the Evil God Palace were talking loudly, Chen Qing turned his head to look at Hua Qiongfang, "Give him a serious position, if he can do it, consider promoting him out of the ordinary." As long as other officials have contributed or have the talent to govern the country, they can be absorbed into the Evil God Palace. ”

After talking to Hua Qiongfang, Chen Qingyi waved his hand to silence everyone.

"I'm not going to hide it from you, it's true, but you also have a chance to join in. Okay, let's not mention this matter for the time being, you can discuss other matters with the queen, and the envoys of the Xuanmeilun Empire will enter the palace. ”

Chen Qing had long been annoyed by these things, and he hated the intrigue and struggle for power and profit in the court, and he didn't plan to ask about other things, so he went directly to today's topic.

"The envoys of the Xuanmeilun Empire met with ......"

With a long shout, the Meilun envoy, who couldn't wait for a long time, strode into the main hall with his head held high, just clasping his fists and saluting Chen Qingyi.

"See His Majesty the Divine Soul King. ”

"Excuse me, what is the reason why the messenger has come?"

Chen Qing was too lazy to say polite words to him, and quickly sent him away after saying something, if he wasn't afraid that Hua Qiongfang wouldn't be able to deal with him, he wouldn't have bothered to come to the court.

"May I ask your Majesty, why is your country at the border?"

The envoy didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, and Chen Qing showed a sneer.

"Joke, can I tell you about the troop movement of our country?"

Chen Qing's tough tone made the envoy stunned, as the envoy of a powerful empire, he was politely offered everywhere, when had he encountered such a situation!

"Are your countries going to war with the Violet Country?"

"Can I tell you?"

This time, Chen Qing's rogue words, not only the envoy was stunned, but even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

The envoy took a deep breath, he knew that Chen Qing was not easy to mess with, but where did he still look like a king, so he had to clench his fists again.

"I remind Your Majesty that the Violet Empire is nominally a subject of the Meilun Empire, and if it is invaded or attacked, the Meilun Empire will definitely not sit idly by. ”

"Then you mean that the Violet Empire's declaration of war with me also means that the Meilun Empire is waging war against my Divine Soul Country?"

These words made the envoy speechless, he didn't dare to say that the Meilun Empire was at war with the Divine Soul Country, if he said that Chen Qing was not needed, the Meilun Emperor would be able to kill him alive. However, although the Violet Country Galaxy is small, it is a strategic location, and it has to be cautious.
