Chapter 182

"You object to my appointment of Di Renjie as Minister of Officials?"

Xiao Chen quietly looked at the official who jumped out. He didn't seem to be angry, but the calmer he was, the more frightening he felt.

Zhang Liao and other generals who had just been rewarded also looked at him coldly, which made the official feel a little difficult to ride a tiger, and even began to regret it.

Why did I get so hot in my head that I came out and objected?

"me……"

The official hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed in his heart: "I agree."

When the 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 is too strong, and no one in the court dares to touch his bad head.

After getting the official's answer, Xiao Chen didn't look at him again, and continued, "Jia Xu will be the minister of military affairs."

Another one I haven't heard of!

The courtiers felt bitter in their hearts, and all these fat shortages were taken away by others.

Jia Xu also walked in from outside the hall and stood in the center of the hall. Under the watchful eyes of the courtiers, he said respectfully to Xiao Chen: "My minister Jia Xu, thank you Lord Long!"

Xiao Chen nodded to Jia Xu, then said loudly, "Follow Zhang Jiao to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites!"

"Follow Lin Qingming to be the Minister of the Household!"

Zhang Jiao and Lin Qingming did not come to court because of the consolidation of the city defense, but Xiao Chen would not forget their credit.

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.

Today, Lin Qingming has lived up to the high expectations, successfully seized the military power, and indirectly proved his ability, and it is reasonable to promote him vigorously.

However, Lin Qingming's qualifications are too shallow, and currently he can only give him a fourth-rank household servant.

No matter how high it is, I am afraid that his subordinates will also be jealous, and Xiao Chen should also pay attention to these influences.

As for Zhang Jiao, although his qualifications are sufficient, his ability is limited, and he is not enough to be a minister.

Let him be a servant of the Ministry of Rites, specializing in education and propaganda.

After all, he still has too few talents, not enough!

When the system comes back, I have to summon some more quickly to fill the gaps in the court.

Next, Xiao Chen promoted many officials of the court.

Half of these newly promoted officials were from the Fifth Small Family, and half were from other unknown small families.

As for the people from the three great families, I'm sorry, but none of Xiao Chen has been promoted.

Without killing them all, and even leaving some to continue occupying high positions, Xiao Chen felt that he was already very kind to them.

After the officials were rewarded, there were roughly four forces formed in the court.

The emperor's line headed by Jia Xu and Di Renjie, although the number is the smallest, all hold high positions and hold military power. Therefore, among the four factions, they are the strongest and the most popular.

The second force was the three great families. Although Xiao Chen suppressed this force, it had been in the imperial court for many years and could not be eradicated by killing a few high-ranking officials. Their power should not be underestimated.

The third and fourth strengths are the newly emerging five small families and the alliance of small families.

These two forces have always been inconspicuous, and now they are on the rise. They have won three of the six Shangshu, and they have been in the limelight for a while.

Although many people were dissatisfied with this award, the general result was acceptable.

In particular, the Fifth Small Family and those small families were even more grateful to Xiao Chen, and began to think that this emperor might not be bad.

"Although I have already ascended the throne, but it has not been announced to the world, the Ministry of Rites will choose an auspicious day for the emperor to hold the throne hall for me."

After awarding the officials, Xiao Chen said to Zheng Jiuhe, the newly appointed Minister of Rites.

Zheng Jiuhe, the head of the Zheng family of the fifth small family, is also Lin Wanqing's grandfather. Speaking of which, Xiao Chen even killed a martial artist in their family to worship him.

The fact that he was the emperor was only spread within the city of Los Angeles, and the local officials of the thirteen counties did not know about it.

Most importantly, those generals guarding the frontier did not know that the emperor had changed.

Therefore, the news must be spread throughout the Great Zhou through the ceremony of the Enthronement Hall.

Zheng Jiuhe had just been promoted by Xiao Chen, of course, he was very attentive, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will make good preparations and live up to Your Majesty's trust."

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Aiqings, you are the pillars of Da Zhou. I hope that in the future, you can work together to contribute to the world of my Da Zhou, and I will not treat you badly."

"But if someone dares to make small moves behind his back and commits the five-kill order, don't blame me for not remembering the past, I will definitely make him regret it."

Manchu Wenwu hurriedly knelt down, and shouted in unison: "I will be loyal to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Let's retreat!"

...

What happened in the courtroom quickly spread throughout the entire city of Los Angeles.

The people who received Xiao Chen's award were full of joy, and the family that was suppressed by Xiao Chen, of course, began to curse Xiao Chen unexpectedly.

These Xiao Chen don't care!

But what he couldn't imagine was that the three major families didn't make any statement about his massacre of their own children.

Even the three families 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, unable to start.

But he is not in a hurry, what is the existence of the three great families? He has been based in Luocheng for thousands of years and has a deep foundation. He has suffered such a big loss, how can he be indifferent.

Perhaps it was just the calm before the storm, and behind the scenes, they were secretly planning how to fight back against Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen didn't worry about these, he just let Wang Yue send the black ice platform's spies to stare at the three great families day and night.

As long as it is within the scope of Luocheng, Xiao Chen doesn't worry about what the other party is doing. Now Luocheng is his private territory, and flies have been unable to fly out.

After Zhang Liao and Li Cunxiao received the order to form an army, they also began to adapt their army.

The Cold Frost City and the Drizzle City in the Four Guards City had a combined force of 40,000 troops. Of course, Xiao Chen, who was currently short of major generals, would not let it go.

Zhang Liao and Yu Wencheng both brought 20,000 troops each to surround the two cities, while Wang Yue personally shot and killed the city lords of the two cities.

The soldiers of the two cities, who lacked the backbone, hesitated for a while and finally chose to leave the city and surrender.

With these 40,000 troops, Zhang Liao and others would have 280,000 troops to deploy.

Zhang Liao and Yu Wencheng each led an army of 100,000 troops to form the Tenglong Legion and the Huolin Legion.

The remaining 80,000 troops were taken away by other generals to form other military services.

After Jia Xu took over as Minister of the Ministry of War, he was more involved in working with generals such as Zhang Liao, but he was not very tired.

Di Renjie is probably the hardest person. As an airborne official minister, he has no one to use, so he has to cultivate all by himself.

Fortunately, he was a generation of famous officials, and he was very handy in doing these things, and he quickly stabilized the situation, making those who doubted his ability look at him with admiration.
