Chapter 182: On rewards

When returning to the Jinluang Temple again, the officials discovered that the hall was much vacant than before.
Today, Xiao Chen killed at least 50 civil and military officials, accounting for at least one-third of the number of people who came to the court on weekdays.
"Xiao Yi, have you noted down those officials who didn't come to court?"
Under Li Yuanba's escort, Xiao Chen, who had returned to the throne, asked with a cold face.
This gave the courtiers another chill.
This is not enough! These people who did not come to court may be sad.
"It's all written down."
Yan Qing gave a zhezi to Yan Zian, and then Yan Zian presented the zhezi to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen just glanced roughly, then gave the Zhezi to Yan Zi'an again.
Then to the civil and martial arts of the Manchu dynasty: "Today I killed a lot of corrupt officials, and there are a lot of vacancies in the court. I don't know if you can recommend good candidates?"
As soon as Xiao Chen said what he said, many ministers who were depressed suddenly flashed in their eyes.
Especially those ministers who did not belong to the three big families, their brains became more active.
They thought about it carefully and discovered that most of the ministers Xiao Chen killed today, except for Xiao Tianci's cronies, were members of the three major families.
Does the emperor want to suppress the three big families and support the small ones?
As soon as this idea came up, they quickly thought about how to control these vacant positions into the hands of their own family.
However, none of them thought that Xiao Chen's move was just a transition, and his ultimate goal was to completely eliminate the rule of the family.
Of course, they are not to blame, because no one dared to imagine that Xiao Chen wanted to challenge the way of ruling the mainland that had been maintained for thousands of years.
"Shen Shangshu, you are the official secretary, why don't you recommend a few people?" Xiao Chen looked at Shen Changwen with a smile.
"This……"
Shen Changwen hesitated. At this time, no matter who he recommends, I am afraid he will be charged with forming a party for personal gain.
If the five kill order just issued were used on oneself, it would be sad.
Therefore, Shen Changwen said helplessly: "Everything is decided by your majesty, and the ministers have no objection!"
"Well, since there are no good candidates for the official secretary, I will recommend a few people. Aiqing will discuss it again. Don't say that I am arbitrary!"
When the ministers heard the words, they were crazy in their hearts.
Are you still arbitrary? Then you killed so many people, whose opinion did you ask? Really shameless.
Without paying attention to what the courtiers were thinking, Xiao Chen's expression turned straight, and said: "Wen Yuan, you saved me from crisis. I said that I will reward you again. Today is the time for me to fulfill my promise."
"Zhang Liao listened to the seal. Today, I will designate you as the third-rank Anxi general and form a one-hundred-thousand dragon army to settle the western frontier for me in the future!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Liao knelt down with excitement. As a military commander, there was nothing more exciting for him than holding the military power.
"Fang Wangyue is the commander of the Fourth Grade Black Ice Platform, supervises hundreds of officials, and is directly responsible to me."
Xiao Chen did not conceal the existence of the Black Ice Terrace, but announced it. This was a huge shock to Baiguanhui.
"Feng Yu Wencheng is the fourth-grade Zhongwu general, assisting Zhang Liao to form the Dragon Army!"
"Font Meng Gong as a lord general from the fourth-grade imperial forest army, and form an imperial forest army to defend Luocheng!"
"Seal Li Cunxiao as the third-rank General Annan and form a 100,000 Fire Lin Legion!"
"Feng Luo became the Mingwei general from the fourth grade and assisted Li Cunxiao to form the Huolin Army!"
"Choose Li Yuanba as the fourth-rank invincible general, responsible for guarding the safety of the palace!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will wait to swear allegiance to Your Majesty and open up territory for my Great Zhou!"
Zhang Liao, Yu Wencheng and others all knelt on the ground to thank you.
"You generals please, this is what you deserve! The future of this great week will depend on your protection!"
These people were summoned by Xiao Chen to this world, and Xiao Chen could trust them completely, and the official posts they gave were extremely high.
"Later, I will formulate the decree, and the generals who have not come will let people deliver the decree to them."
Meng Gong and others still need to command the entire Los Angeles army to protect the city from safety, so they did not come to court today.
Although the courtiers, especially the military attaches, were dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's entrustment, they did not dare to have any opinions.
They all knew that these people were Xiao Chen's confidantes, and it was reasonable to promote vigorously.
What's more, these people have shown strength far beyond their cognition since they appeared, so they can only accept this fact silently.
In fact, the most important thing is that they are afraid of death!
If Xiao Chen is upset when he raises an opinion, killing them would be no fun.
After entrusting the generals, Xiao Chen turned his gaze to the civilian officials, which made the courtiers really nervous.
The generals were mostly outside troops, and there were only a few military officials in Los Angeles who were qualified to go to court, and Xiao Chen had killed a lot of them.
Therefore, most of the court officials were civil servants. At this moment, Xiao Chen wanted to reward civil servants, just to touch their interests.
"Shen Changwen, I think you have worked hard, and when you are getting older, I will give you a leisurely official position! From today on, you will take over the post of Minister of Criminal Justice, how about?"
Xiao Chen looked at Shen Changwen with a smile, making Shen Changwen feel bitter.
What kind of idle official position is this! Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry has always been a cumbersome position, and the power is far inferior to that of the official.
It seems to be a flat move, but it is actually a disguised demotion.
But he didn't dare to say anything, he could only say with a bitter face: "Thank you for your understanding!"
Shen Changwen went down from the official book?
Many officials are happy, does this mean they can take over the fat man?
They knew that Xiao Chen had many martial arts masters, but there were not many civil servants. After Shen Changwen was withdrawn, who would take over if they did not take over?
But Xiao Chen finally let them down.
I saw Xiao Chen said, "I found a suitable candidate for the position of the official secretary, Huaiying, let you take the position of the official secretary!"
Huaiying? Who is he?
None of the courtiers expected that Xiao Chen would find a stranger to serve as the official secretary.
At this moment, an old man with a slightly fat figure and kind eyebrow walked in from outside the hall.
"Chen Di Renjie, thank your Majesty for your kindness."
Di Renjie walked to the very center of the hall and faced Xiao Chen respectfully above the throne.
"Who is this person? Why have you never seen it?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure, there is absolutely no such person in Da Zhou's officialdom!"
"Isn't this a trifling matter? How can I find someone to be an official book?"
Sure enough, after Xiao Chen proposed to let Di Renjie serve as the official secretary, the civil servants began to feel uncomfortable and started talking in a low voice.
Xiao Chen squinted at the group of civilian officials, and then said in a cold voice: "Why, do you have any opinions?"
Sometimes, benefits really make a person lose their way, even without life.
After a moment of silence, an official finally stood up.
The official walked to the center of the hall and summoned the courage to say: "Your Majesty, the post of the official secretary is of great importance, so please think twice!"
