Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 226 Esdeath, the future captain of the 12th Division.

However, in order to ensure the crushing situation, he will definitely let his woman come out to take charge, but the person who really takes action must be right.

The imperial weapon users in the night raid team and the hunter team are good candidates for leadership. After all, the imperial weapon users have completely crushed ordinary people.

As long as they don’t encounter masters like those who have been trained since childhood in the Royal Fist Temple, there is basically no possibility of problems.

In addition, people with conscience like Najeshitan are willing to do this kind of thing, not to mention when it is legitimate.

Recruiting them will not only gain a group of thugs, but also complete the task by the way. Why not do it?

In addition, after accepting them, Li De can get a list of people with conscience from Najeshitan, which will facilitate the elimination of Ernest and his followers, so as not to paralyze the administrative agency.

Therefore, recruiting the night raid team is a must for Li De, and the sooner the better.

Because only by holding these people in hand can we ensure that there will be no accidents in this mission.

As for why only Fubuki and Tornado followed tonight instead of coming out directly.

There are two reasons. The first is that Najeshitan has not returned from the base of the revolutionary army. The other is that Li De does not need to think about his own appearance to recruit people, but plans to go with the face of the little emperor.

Li De did this not because he was not confident in his personal charm, but because the imperial power was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people after the empire lasted for a thousand years.

Let alone a thousand years, the Qing Dynasty was less than three hundred years old. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, anyone who wanted ordinary people to cut off the braid behind their heads would be like asking for his life.

It is not difficult to imagine how deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a thousand years.

So it is definitely much easier to recruit people with the face of the little emperor than to just go.

Take Najeshitan, who has already rebelled, for example. As long as the little emperor realizes his mistake and promises her to get rid of the ministers and restore order, she will never follow the revolutionary army to gamble on the illusory victory.

Isn't it sweet to be loyal to the empire!

The previous rebellion was only because the ruling class headed by Minister Ernest was too corrupt and dark, so people with conscience could not stay there, so they had to run away.

If the emperor was really willing to clean up the corruption and restore order, no one who was not stupid or crazy would choose the latter between being loyal to the empire and following the revolutionary army.

This is really not nonsense. Look at the so-called ambitious people. Didn’t they all emerge at the end of the dynasty?

So as long as the empire itself does not give these people a chance, they can only hide their ambitions.

Therefore, the identity of the little emperor is much more useful than expected. To put it bluntly, Li De directly threw out a few slave contracts under the face of the little emperor. It is estimated that some people in the night attack team are willing to sign.

In the feudal era, the emperor was the orthodoxy of the empire and represented righteousness, so there was a saying that the emperor wanted the ministers to die and the ministers had to die.

And since there is a simple way to use, why should Li De complicate the problem?

As for whether Najeshitan would doubt Li De, it doesn’t matter.

Because even if she doubted, she would never bring it up with her intelligence.

No one wants the empire to become better than these conscientious ministers.

"Sid, are we going to the palace now?" Claire asked Reed.

"Let's go, but we're just testing the waters tonight." Reed nodded.

"Master, aren't you going to replace the emperor directly?" Beta asked.

"We have to see what the emperor looks like first. What if he's dying of old age? Also, I have to give you some time to understand the power institution you will lead in the future." Although Reed knew that the young emperor was in power, the women didn't know.

Another point is that although Reed planned to start the plan directly to replace the emperor and seize the supreme power of the empire.

But ruling an empire has never been something that one person can do, and someone must assist.

And Reed doesn't believe in the current person in charge of the power institution at all. After all, the fact that the empire can become like this shows how rotten those people are.

Maybe there are so-called good people, but this good is mostly relative.

In a word, it all depends on peers.

It is precisely because Minister Ernest is so rotten that other people are relatively better.

But in general, Li De will only trust people he knows when he does not know them well enough.

Who else can Li De trust more than his own woman?

So Li De plans to let his woman take power.

Of course, this must come little by little later. You can't reach the top right away. After all, how can someone with unknown origin enter the power center and reach the top right away.

However, it is necessary to let the women divide their own territories in advance, because with their strength, it is no problem to use some means to enter various power institutions and secretly control operations.

"That's right! How does the master want to divide it?" Yita, who had not spoken all the time, asked.

"The empire's finances must be handed over to Gamma, just like the empire's intelligence agencies must be handed over to Zeta. As for the remaining power institutions, we need to discuss it first. What do you think?" Li De then looked at everyone.

The women who heard the words looked at each other. In fact, not everyone is interested in power.

Take Beta for example, she is a literary girl who prefers novels.

But the women also knew that the division of power must not be refused.

If each department does not have its own people to watch over it, a big problem will arise if it is not careful.

After all, ordinary people should not expect them to be loyal to their masters. They are only loyal to power and money.

"Sid, I will be responsible for the appointment and removal of officials." Claire was the first to speak, and Alpha would not argue with her on this point.

"Alpha, what about you?" After Claire spoke, Beta asked Alpha, who had not spoken.

"I will not participate." Alpha had already received Reed's promise at this moment, so he did not plan to stay in this world after the mission was completed, so naturally he did not plan to participate in the division of power.

"Not involved?" Beta looked at Alpha in surprise.

"Beta, Alpha is responsible for the appointment and removal of officials in the world where we were born." Reed explained.

After listening to Reed's words, the others immediately understood what was going on.

It must be said that the women envied Alpha at this moment, after all, this was promised by Reed himself.

And apart from Claire, she was the only one who got this promise.

As for Claire, she didn't look unhappy.

Because Reed had already communicated with her about these things. Who told her that in the real world, Claire couldn't marry Reed openly? It was better to let Alpha take the position than Alexia.

"So that's the case. Congratulations!" Gamma sincerely blessed Alpha.     As for herself, or even other girls, do they want this kind of wedding that belongs to them?

The answer is yes, but this does not prevent them from offering blessings to their friends.

As for their own wedding, she and they will work hard to fight for it.

"Thank you, Gamma!" Alpha replied with a sweet smile.

"Master, let me be responsible for agricultural affairs." Beta said immediately.

Hearing that Beta chose agricultural affairs, Reed was a little surprised.

"Beta, are you interested in agriculture?" Reed asked.

"Not really, but I can make my contractor interested." Beta smiled and replied.

Beta himself is actually not interested in agriculture at all, but just chose it casually.

Anyway, she herself did not plan to take charge, but planned to find a slave to learn management later. Anyway, with the contract in hand, she really didn't worry about her slaves causing any trouble.

After Beta started, the other girls who had not yet chosen started to choose at random.

When Delta spoke, she said, "Boss, I want to be in charge of the military."

"Delta, I have an ideal candidate for the military, you can change one!" Li De, who had always agreed, shook his head uncharacteristically.

"Boss, who is it?" Delta looked at the people present and asked.

"A person who has not yet signed a contract, but she has such potential." Li De immediately spoke.

And the person Li De was talking about was none other than Esdeath!

To be honest, Esdeath's potential is really too great. If she is given some resources, her strength may rush to the top three in the blink of an eye, and even Claire may not be able to suppress her.

It is precisely because of her potential that Li De plans to accept her and make her one of the captains of the Shadow Guard Thirteen Team.

The extra person must be Claire. Li De intends to let her serve as the captain of the Zero Guard.

"The one who has not signed a contract yet, is it from this world?" Delta couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well, you will know later." Li De didn't say much.

Seeing that Li De was unwilling to say more, no girl continued to ask.

After choosing to be in charge of police affairs, Delta continued to distribute.

Soon, all the rights were distributed.

Two hours later, in the Jade Palace at the highest point in the center of the empire, in the bedroom of the little emperor, after Beta snapped his fingers, the little emperor fell on the bed and fell asleep.

"I didn't expect it to be a puppet emperor, but it's good this way. As long as we clean up the minister named Ernest, the leader of the Royal Guards guarding the Jade Palace, General Budd, and the guards and maids who usually take care of the little emperor's daily life, no one can see any flaws." Claire said to Li De.

"Indeed, it's all thanks to that minister Ernest that we can do this easily. If it weren't for him who made it almost impossible for foreign ministers to contact the little emperor in order to control him, our cleaning work would probably increase a lot." Li De smiled and said.

"It's a pity for a loyal minister like Bud." Alexia said immediately.

Although Bud is very loyal, Alexia, as a member of the royal family, naturally appreciates this kind of loyal minister the most.

"It's precisely because he is loyal enough that we can't keep him. After all, once he finds something wrong, he will definitely investigate it relentlessly, so the best way is to get rid of him from the beginning." Alpha certainly knew that Bud was very loyal.

But unfortunately, the only object of his loyalty was the royal family, so he was destined to be sacrificed.

"He is going to die, and Ernest will probably be very happy." Beta couldn't help but say.

"It's a pity that Ernest doesn't know that he can only be happy for a while, not even for a day." Ipsilon sneered.

In the past two hours, she had learned about some of Ernest's evil deeds from many people.

Even with this information, Ipsilon could no longer control his murderous intent.

"The most important thing is to choose the right person to replace Bud, even if it's just a transition." Miyano Shiho said.

"It doesn't matter. There happens to be a former general in the night attack team, just for the transition. Her qualifications are sufficient." When Li De was planning to get rid of Bud, he had already thought of the candidate to replace Bud.

After Li De sacked the imperial capital and took all the power in his hands, he would no longer be hindered from appointing his own women. At that time, he could release Najeshitan to lead the army to deal with the next rebellion.

Why did Li De confirm that there must be a judgment? Because the people-friendly policies that Li De will promulgate later will inevitably affect the interests of nobles in other cities.

It would be strange if those nobles who have been exploiting the people were willing to accept and implement such policies. At that time, all kinds of chaos would definitely occur.

So whether it is Najeshitan or Esdeath, there will be a lot of battles to fight later.

In fact, the people-friendly policies that Li De will promulgate later are not flattering policies. They are just to abolish some existing unreasonable taxes to reduce the burden on the current people.

As long as the people can survive, they will not rise up.

Unfortunately, this policy of relieving the internal pressure of the empire will not be recognized by those arrogant nobles, let alone accepted, so there is bound to be civil strife.

Of course, for Li De, it is good to fight a battle. After all, if you want to rebuild the world, you must first break it and then build it.

This is the law of history, and no one can violate it.

After all, it is impossible for Li De to come up with enough slave contracts to control everyone in power.

Therefore, the best way is to clean up the corrupt nobles and replace them with a group of people-friendly officials.

Then every few dozen or hundreds of years, an internal cleansing will be carried out to clean up some rotten and deteriorated external personnel in time, so that the empire can be kept prosperous.

As for why it is external personnel, because the people who signed the contract cannot fall into depravity under the control of the contract.

After all, when these people fall into depravity, it means that Li De can no longer maintain his moral bottom line.

On the other hand, as long as Li De still maintains his moral bottom line, there is no need to worry about the following contractors making any appalling tricks.

"Master, it's almost dawn, we should leave too!" Ran Mao Li suddenly reminded.

"Oh, it's already this time! Then let's talk while we walk, who will deal with Bud tomorrow night?" Li De asked the girls.

"Boss, let me do it! I just want to see how far the imperial weapon users in this world can go." Delta said immediately.
