Chapter 183: Court pattern

"Are you opposed to my appointment of Di Renjie as the official secretary?"
Xiao Chen quietly looked at the official who jumped out, and didn't seem to be angry, but the calmer he was, the more scared he was.
Zhang Liao and other generals who had just been rewarded also looked at him coldly, making this official a bit hard to get off the ground, and even began to regret it.
Why did my mind get so hot and came out against it?
"me……"
The official hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed in his heart: "The minister agrees."
When other officials saw this, their faces suddenly showed disappointment. They originally thought that someone could stop Xiao Chen, but now it seems impossible.
Xiao Chen's power was too strong, and no one above the court dared to touch his mold.
After getting the official's answer, Xiao Chen didn't look at him anymore, and continued: "The post of Minister of War is held by Jia Xu."
Another one I haven't heard of!
The courtiers felt miserable, and the fatness and deficiency were all taken away by others.
Jia Xu also walked in from outside the hall, stood in the middle of the hall, and under the gaze of the courtiers, said to Xiao Chen respectfully: "Chen Jia Xu, thank Lord Longen!"
Xiao Chen nodded to Jia Xu, and then said loudly: "Choose Zhang Jiao as the minister of ritual!"
"Font Lin Qingming as the servant of the household department!"
Zhang Jiao and Lin Qingming did not come to court because of the consolidation of the city's defenses, but Xiao Chen would not forget their contributions.
At the beginning, he promised Lin Qingming that as long as Lin Qingming could win the military power of Cold Wind City, he would let him follow him.
Now, Lin Qingming has lived up to his expectations and successfully seized the military power. He also indirectly proved his ability, and it is reasonable to promote him vigorously.
However, Lin Qingming’s qualifications are too low, and currently he can only be given a fourth-grade household servant.
No matter how high it is, I'm afraid the people under him will also be jealous, and Xiao Chen must pay attention to these influences.
As for Zhang Jiao, although his qualifications are sufficient, his ability is limited and he is not enough to serve as a book.
Let him be a minister of rituals, specializing in education and propaganda, it can be considered as a person to use his talents.
After all, he still has too few talents, not enough!
When the system comes back, you have to summon more quickly to fill the gaps in the court.
Next, Xiao Chen promoted many court officials.
Among the newly promoted officials, members of the five small families accounted for half, and other unknown small families accounted for half.
As for the members of the three major families, I am sorry that Xiao Chen has not been promoted.
Without killing them clean, and even leaving some to continue occupying high positions, Xiao Chen felt that he was very kind to them.
After awarding officials, roughly four forces formed in the court.
The emperor family, headed by Jia Xu and Di Renjie, has the fewest numbers, but they all occupy high positions and hold military power. Therefore, they are the strongest and most popular among the four factions.
The second force is the three major families. Although this force has been suppressed by Xiao Chen, it has been in the court for many years and cannot be eliminated by killing a few high-ranking officials. Their power is still not to be underestimated.
The third and fourth strength are the newly emerging five small families and small family alliances.
These two forces have not been very eye-catching, and now they are considered to have risen. They have won three of the six Shangshu, and they have been in the limelight.
Although many people are dissatisfied with this award, the general result is also acceptable.
Especially the five small families and those small families were even more grateful to Xiao Chen, and began to feel that this emperor might be pretty good.
"Although I have ascended the throne, but have not yet announced it to the world, the Ministry of Rites will select an auspicious day for the emperor and hold the hall of ascension for me."
After awarding the officials, Xiao Chen confronted the newly appointed Minister of Etiquette Zheng Jiuhedao.
Zheng Jiuhe, the head of the Zheng family of the fifth small family, was also Lin Wanqing's grandfather. Speaking of which, Xiao Chen killed a martial artist in his family to worship.
The fact that he was the emperor was only spread within Los Angeles, and the local officials of the thirteen counties didn't even know.
The most important thing is that the generals guarding the frontier do not know that the emperor has changed.
Therefore, this news must be spread throughout the Great Zhou through the ceremony of enthroned in the main hall.
Zheng Jiuhe had just been promoted by Xiao Chen, of course he was extraordinarily diligent, and hurriedly said: "Your majesty, don't worry, the minister must make good preparations and live up to your majesty's trust."
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Dear Aiqing, you are the pillars of the Great Zhou. I hope that in the future you can work together to contribute to the world of my Great Zhou. I will not treat you badly."
"But if someone dares to make small moves behind their backs and commits the Five Kills Order, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings. At that time, I will definitely make him regret it."
The Manchumen and Martial Arts hurriedly knelt down, shouting in unison: "The ministers and others will definitely be loyal to your Majesty!"
Xiao Chen nodded, and said, "Retreat!"
...
What happened above Chaotang quickly spread throughout Los Angeles.
Those who were rewarded by Xiao Chen were all filled with joy. Of course, the family suppressed by Xiao Chen began to curse Xiao Chen unexpectedly.
These Xiao Chen don't care!
But what he didn't expect was that the three major families hadn't expressed any opinions about the massacre of his own children.
Even all three of them closed their doors to thank guests, as if to be isolated from the world.
This made Xiao Chen, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the three major families again, couldn't do anything for a while.
But he is not in a hurry, what is the existence of the three big families? Based in Los Angeles for a thousand years, he has a profound background, how could he be indifferent after suffering such a big loss.
Perhaps it was just the calm before the storm, and behind them, they were secretly planning how to counter Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen didn't worry about these, but just asked Wang Yue to send the spies from the Black Ice Terrace to stare at the three great families day and night.
As long as it was within the range of Los Angeles, Xiao Chen didn't worry about what the other party would do with moths. The current Los Angeles was his private territory, and flies could not fly out.
After Zhang Liao and Li Cunxiao received the order to form the army, they also began to reorganize their opponents.
Lengshuang City and Drizzle City in the Four Guards had a total of 40,000 troops. Of course Xiao Chen, who was currently short of major generals, would not let it go.
Both Zhang Liao and Yu Wencheng brought 20,000 troops to surround the two cities, while Wang Yue personally took action and killed the lord of the two cities.
The soldiers in the two cities who lacked the backbone of the two cities hesitated for a while and finally chose to leave the city and surrender.
With these 40,000 troops, Zhang Liao and others have 280,000 troops to deploy.
Both Zhang Liao and Yu Wencheng took away one hundred thousand troops and formed the Dragon Army and Fire Lin Army.
The remaining 80,000 troops were taken away by other generals to form other services.
After Jia Xu took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he worked more with generals such as Zhang Liao, which was not very tiring.
Di Renjie is probably the hardest person. As an airborne official secretary, no one can use it, all he needs to train slowly.
Fortunately, he was a generation of famous ministers, and he was very comfortable with these things, and soon stabilized the situation, allowing those who doubted his ability to look at him with admiration.
