Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

Trance.

Emperor Xia forcibly suppressed his uneasiness and continued the court meeting.

Today, we are going to suppress the prince!

Today, he wants to let all the courtiers know...as long as he doesn't die, the prince can only be the prince!

Now, the local power of the rebel families has been cleared. Houses were ransacked, exiled, and sold. It did not cause major shocks or rebellions. This was beyond the emperor's expectation!

Moreover, there is now a lot of money and grain in Daxia's treasury, which can temporarily solve the famine in Daxia and allow Daxia to survive until next autumn!

Therefore, Emperor Xia now wants to take back his power: "Prince, now that the six ministers are in place, are there still shortages of people for other official positions?"

"lack!"

There was no change of emotion on Xia Tian's face: "Father, there are still some ministers missing among the six departments. Do you want to recommend them today?"

Emperor Xia turned his attention to Sima Jian: "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think it's okay!"

"Let the newly appointed Six Ministers recommend subordinate officials!"

Old God Sima Jian said calmly: "There is a popular saying among the people, only you know whether your shoes fit your feet or not!"

"Whether the officials below the Sixth Ministry can use it smoothly...Only the Sixth Ministry Shangshu himself knows!"

"Delegate power to them!"

"Can!"

Emperor Xia agreed: "What do you think, Prince?"

"I think it's inappropriate!"

Xia Tian still objects: "The other officials of the six departments should be appointed by the outstanding candidates from this imperial examination!"

"Using the imperial examination to select talents for the country is a national policy that the imperial court has set. Now the left prime minister is strongly recommending the recommendation system...Does he want to overturn the father's decision?"

"no!"

Sima Jian will never take this "pot".

"is it?"

Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Prime Minister Zuo, there is another question...if the officials of the six ministries are recommended by the Minister, will they form cliques for personal gain?"

After saying this, the atmosphere in the palace instantly became solemn!

It is a taboo in the government to form cliques for personal gain!

The previous Zhang family who formed a clique and rebelled for personal gain has been punished by the nine clans!

Looking at Sima Jian, Xia Tian continued to question: "Prime Minister Zuo, do you want to form a clique for personal gain?"

"of course not!"

Sima Jian's veins twitched at the corners of his eyes: "Your Highness, please stop talking nonsense!"

Xia Tian pointed at the six ministers who had just taken office: "Do you want to recommend your own people?"

"Are you going to form a clique for personal gain?"

The six people almost jumped up and shook their heads wildly: "I don't dare!"

Sima Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, if any minister dares to be corrupt, the empire's laws will punish him!"

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry!"

"is it?"

Xia Tian stepped in front of Sima Jian, with a cold light in his eyes: "Prime Minister Zuo, you knew that Gu was the examiner of this imperial examination, and you knew that Gu wanted to abandon the recommendation system, but you recommended six ministers before the imperial examination. What do you want to do?"

"Because no one is available!"

Sima Jian did not panic at all: "Because Zhou Yuan and others have the ability to control the six ministries, they can help the imperial court govern the world!"

"Is that so?"

Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Isn't it because of your selfishness?"

"What selfish motives does the truth have?"

Sima Jian refused to give in: "I have absolutely no selfish motives in recommending them!"

"The truth is that we are selecting talents for the country and are public-spirited!"

"If the Crown Prince thinks that the Prime Minister has selfish motives for recommending the six ministers... please tell His Highness the Crown Prince... What selfish motives does the Prime Minister have?"

At this moment, the two of them were face to face, eye to eye, like two fighting cocks showing no weakness to each other!

"it is good!"

Xia Tian said coldly: "Then please listen to Prime Minister Zuo..."

"Please speak to His Majesty the Crown Prince!"

Xia Tian then said: "Prime Minister Zuo, you have only one purpose in recommending capable people... to cover up your own incompetence, in order to cover up your own mistakes!"

"Incompetent?"

Sima Jian gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with the truth?" "

At this time.

"Prince be careful!"

Emperor Xia frowned and said, "Prince, please don't speak nonsense, don't hurt the left prime minister's desire to serve the country!"

"My son is not lying!"

Xia Tian bluntly said: "In the past, the Sima family was the first family in Daxia and was the leader of the rebels. Most of the rebels who entered the court were recommended by him. In other words... the left prime minister has no ability to recognize people. Just pass it!"

at last.

Sima Jian's expression changed!

Emperor Xia frowned: "Prince, what is the second fault of the Left Prime Minister?"

"Incompetent!"

Xia Tian said solemnly: "Sima Jian is the prime minister of the imperial court and the head of the hundred officials. He leads the imperial court and all officials to govern the world. He has a heavy responsibility!"

"But he allowed the wealthy family headed by Zhang Shu to oppress the people, turned a blind eye to the emptiness of the national treasury, and turned a blind eye to the famine among the people. In Gu's eyes, he is incompetent!"

"It is precisely because of his incompetence that there is no one available in our Daxia court!"

"It is precisely because of his incompetence that the national power of our Great Xia Empire has weakened to such an extent!"

"So Left Prime Minister Sima Jian should be reprimanded!"

"not like this......"

Sima Jian's face was full of dissatisfaction: "If you want to impose a crime, why bother!"

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has served the Great Xia Empire conscientiously for 20 years. He has worked hard without any merit. How could he be so miserable as you say?"

"Your Majesty is aware!"

At this time, everyone in Tianxia Palace was watching the battle!

The emperor is in a happy mood!

The pair of father-in-law and son-in-law have begun a head-on battle, and he is relieved!

At this time.

Before Emperor Xia could say anything, the third prince jumped out again, with a triumphant look that was a bit mean: "Brother Prince, you are slandering the left prime minister!"

"You have to know... Back then, Prime Minister Zuo was personally invited by the Emperor Father. Now the younger brother of the Crown Prince says that Prime Minister Zuo has no insight into people and that he has no ability to govern the world. Doesn't this mean... .Father, doesn’t he know people well?”

"Brother Prince, are you beating around the bush and scolding my father?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent!

"My son doesn't dare!"

Xia Tian is not in a hurry to explain: "I am just stating the facts!"

Emperor Xia: "..."

"Your Majesty, please be the master!"

Sima Jian's face was full of grievance: "Sima Jian is absolutely selfless, God can tell you!"

"is it?"

Xia Tian said calmly: "Then using the imperial examination to test out other officials in the six departments... what does the Left Prime Minister think?"

"Can!"

Sima Jian gritted his teeth and said, "I agree!"

"it is good!"

"The other official positions in the six departments will be selected after the imperial examination is over!"

Summer is finalized!

The imperial examination cannot be destroyed!

The official positions in the six departments should be given to those who are truly talented!

As for the six ministers... they are also capable people!

As for some plays, they have to be acted realistically to be enjoyable!

At this time.

Emperor Xia looked at Xia Tian deeply: "Just do as you say!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

at this time.

Smoke billows outside the imperial capital!

"Report..."

The deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department ran into the hall with a panicked look on his face: "Your Majesty, there is smoke coming from the imperial capital..."

Emperor Xia walked directly to the main hall door: "Where did the smoke come from?"

"Barren State, Qingzhou Border Town, Barbarian Border!"

"There is smoke coming from all three directions!"

"It must be the Sirius Empire, the Barbarian Empire, and the Black Man Empire that have invaded!"

The whole palace was panicked!

Shortly after.

In front of Tianxia Palace.

Emperor Xia looked at the three pillars of wolf smoke rising into the sky outside the city, wondering: "Ministry of War, is there any news from the border?"

"Old man, does the Imperial City Department have any secret reports from the border?"

"Who can tell me... what is the situation at the border?"
