The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 795 Dragon Chair and Knife
Capital city, inside the palace.

There are a large number of people wearing shirts and walking in four rows on the palace road, the total number of people is more than a hundred.

These people were students of Guozijian. They were supposed to be appointed officials three months ago, but they were delayed because of Zhao Yanxun's rebellion.

Being called into the palace today filled their hearts with anticipation.

Nowadays, there are more than 300 students in Guozijian who are eligible to be appointed officials, but only 100 were summoned today.

Why were they summoned?
Just because among the existing students of the Guozijian, the 100 of them were the first to go to the table to persuade Zhao Yanxun to inherit Tianmen and become emperor.

These people are so knowledgeable about current affairs, Zhao Yanxun naturally reciprocated.

Xie Xiaofang has already gone to the south, and this time a large number of people will definitely be dismissed, which means that there will be many job vacancies, and Zhao Yanxun just happens to put these people in.

In fact, Zhao Yanxun appointed more than [-] officials during his two months as regency.

Most of these people are old members of the palace, and students of Lizheng School, and some of them were former ministers who were reprimanded by Zhao Weilong.

Most of these more than 300 officials are distributed in the five counties of the Central Plains, and a group of more than 40 recently went to the two counties in the southwest.

Relying on these people, Zhao Yanxun can better control the government and enhance his ability to control the local government.

And the people he is going to meet today will be sent to the five southern counties by him to fill the upcoming power vacuum.

At this moment, in Qian'an Hall, Zhao Yanxun is receiving a minister.

"Old Ge, I haven't seen you in a few years, you are much older!"

Walking in front of Lu Chaowen, Zhao Yanxun leaned over to help him up, which can be said to be a great courtesy.

But this one really deserves Zhao Yan's courtesy because he was the only one among the three cabinet ministers who supported Zhao Yanxun as the crown prince.

Also because of this, after Zhao Weilong ascended the throne, the officials of Lu Chaowen's family were liquidated, and many people were dismissed from office and ransacked their homes and exiled.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. The old minister is getting old, and An Neng will not show his old age!"

A smile appeared on his face, and Lu Chaowen continued: "It is His Royal Highness who has returned as a king, swallowing the world with arrogance, and his demeanor is even better than before, and his demeanor is not weaker than that of the former Emperor Taizong!"

Hearing the old man's praise, Zhao Yanxun burst out laughing, showing his majesty's demeanor.

This made Lu Chaowen very excited. Since ancient times, Mingjun has become more famous as a minister, and Zhao Yanxun looks like a Mingjun to him.

After being forced to serve for more than half a year, Lu Chaowen hasn't really become disheartened yet, and now that he is called back into the imperial court, his desire for fame has naturally been aroused.

"Old Lu Ge, after all, I am young and inexperienced in many things, and I still need the help of you veterans!"

That is to say, it's time to get down to business, Lu Chaowen immediately became serious, and then replied: "Although I am old, if Your Highness calls, I am willing to share your worries for Your Highness!"

Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but admire the person in front of him for saying that he wanted to get back up so fresh and refined.

"Aiqing is so knowledgeable, Gu is very touched...Since this is the case, Qing will still join the cabinet to assist the government!"

"The minister takes orders!"

Generally speaking, the appointment of cabinet ministers must be recommended by the court first, and then appointed by the emperor.

Strictly speaking, Lu Chaowen's re-entry into the cabinet is neither conventional nor in line with etiquette.

However, no one would question his position as a cabinet minister, because no one dared to question Zhao Yanxun.

"My lord, Mr. Wang Ge is out to see you!"

"Let him in!"

After a while, Wang Tinghe walked into the palace, and he noticed Lu Chaowen's back at the first sight.

Although it was not from the front, Wang Tinghe guessed who it was from the familiar figure from the back.

"See Your Highness!"

"Excuse me, Mr. Wangge...Look who this is!"

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's words, Lu Chaowen turned around slowly, his eyes met Wang Tinghe's.

Taking two steps forward, Lu Chaowen leaned over slightly and helped Wang Tinghe up from the ground.

"Old Wangge, long time no see, how have you been?"

When Lu Chaowen became an official, Wang Tinghe could speak out his strength, and it could be said that there was a big enmity between the two of them.

But when they met at this moment, the two calmly talked about the past in front of Zhao Yanxun as if they were far away from old friends.

I only heard Wang Tinghe reply: "It's okay...it's okay, but it's not as good as Lu Ge's old age, who has returned to his hometown to hide and relax!"

But the two of them are "enemies" after all, and a few small talk is enough to maintain dignity, after all, Zhao Yanxun is still sitting on the dragon chair.

"Old Wang Ge, Gu has let Lu Ge return to the cabinet. Regarding the future division of labor in the cabinet, Gu feels that it is necessary to clarify now!"

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's words, the two pavilions turned around in silence, and bowed to Zhao Yanxun.

"Your Highness, please give instructions!"

"After being attacked by monsters, a large amount of land is barren in the five counties of the Central Plains and two counties in the southwest, and there are countless people fleeing from their homes!"

As soon as Zhao Yanxun mentioned this incident, Wang Tinghe felt bad.

"Therefore, I plan to choose a capable minister to take full-time responsibility for measuring the land in the Central Plains and the Southwest, and to register and record the refugees and hidden populations in various places, so that the imperial court can know the real situation in various places..."

Undoubtedly, this is a difficult task, even more difficult than Xie Xiaofang's.

In any case, Xie Xiaofang is at least using the sign of investigating the rebellion. Although he offends others, it is morally justified.

But measuring the land and verifying the population is different, but it is challenging the fragile nerves of the local clans. After all, who wants to reveal the whole truth!
But no matter how difficult it is, since Zhao Yanxun proposed it, Wang Tinghe couldn't refuse.

He envied Xie Xiaofang to land "safely", now that the opportunity is in front of him, how dare he give up.

But after thinking about it carefully, Wang Tinghe felt that he needed to remind something.

"Your Highness, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Wang Tinghe was extremely sincere, for fear of causing Zhao Yanxun's misunderstanding.

"Say it!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.

"Now that the world has been settled, monsters are still raging, and people are in a state of panic... If you do such a big thing rashly, I am worried that it will cause chaos!"

When Wang Tinghe said this, he was definitely out of public interest. He was really worried about causing chaos, and the court would also suffer if he died.

"This matter has a lot to do with it. The veteran thinks that... we still need to take a long-term plan and discuss it carefully with the officials of the DPRK and China, so that we can come up with a proper regulation before it can be implemented!"

Seeing that Wang Tinghe wanted to continue, Zhao Yanxun signaled him to stop.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun got up, then walked to a side shelf, and took Chengfang's saber from it.

"Old Wang Ge..."

Seeing Zhao Yanxun holding the knife, Wang Tinghe was really taken aback, and he bent down when he replied.

"Who is sitting on the dragon chair now?"

"It's Your Highness!"

"I sit on the dragon chair, what do I need to discuss with the courtiers?"

Although Zhao Yanxun's tone was calm, Wang Tinghe was more cautious.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the imperial court depends on the officials to do things. If you don't discuss with the officials, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement Your Highness' will!"

With a bang, Zhao Yanxun drew out his saber, and then said slowly, "Really? Then you probably forgot how Gu sat on this dragon chair!"

How did he sit on the dragon chair?Naturally, he came all the way, so Zhao Yanxun will not be hindered by anyone.

"In this world, the most indispensable thing is those who want to be officials. If there are officials who question the will to oppose Gu, Gu doesn't mind changing them!"

Reminiscent of the large number of Guozijian students waiting to be summoned outside Qian'an Gate, and the large number of officials that Zhao Yanxun had placed some time ago, Wang Tinghe immediately understood this person's determination.

From this point of view, this man has already set his mind on attacking the scholar-official class, even if he will kill a lot of people for it.

Just as Wang Tinghe was thinking, he only heard Zhao Yanxun say: "You are a cabinet minister, and you must be more aware of the shortcomings of the Tai'an Dynasty than I am..."

"What Gu wants to do is to clear up the cancer for the imperial court. If Mr. Wang Ge is willing to help, then he will take up this job, and Gu will help him with all his strength!"

Between the words, this great king overflowed with murderous aura, and his aura was like a mountain top, making people afraid to face it directly... Lu Chaowen was secretly speechless.

He couldn't help sighing, it's no wonder that Zhao Yanxun easily entered the capital, and he really is the emperor who meets once in a thousand years.

At this time, Zhao Yanxun put the knife back into its sheath, and his tone became more and more calm: "If the old man is afraid of danger and danger, Gu will not force others to make things difficult for him!"

Do you want to decline?Wang Tinghe had a hard time making a choice.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to hurt his blood relatives, so he had no choice at all.

If he doesn't want to be decent, this person in front of him will never show him face.

"Your Highness has lofty aspirations, and I am willing to share your worries for His Highness!"

Hearing Wang Tinghe's words, Zhao Yanxun finally showed a smile on his face.

"If this is done, Wang Qing will be my loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty, and it will be no problem to leave a name in history!"

It's almost as good as leaving a name in history, but leaving a bad name...

Thinking this way in his heart, Wang Ting said on his mouth: "It is my honor to be able to serve His Highness's great cause!"

Nodding slightly, Zhao Yanxun turned to face Lu Chaowen, and said, "Since Wang Qing has received a special post, Lu Qing will be in charge of cabinet affairs from now on!"

Presiding over the affairs of the cabinet is actually the chief assistant, which makes Lu Chaowen extremely happy. This position is the highest pursuit of civil servants.

"I take orders!" Lu Chaowen replied with a bow.

With a smile on his face, Zhao Yanxun said: "The affairs of the cabinet have been properly arranged. From now on, the two of you should do your best!"

"Follow Your Highness' instruction!"

"Next, the two of you will accompany Gu to meet the students from the Imperial Academy who are waiting outside!"

"Yes!"
