Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

"Ziyu, how will the meeting be today?"

Xie Lang did not turn around, but spoke calmly without any emotion, as if he was just asking about a very small matter.

When Chen Ziyu heard Xie Lang's question, she thought of the scene in the Weiyang Palace, where all the officials came to congratulate her and it was a magnificent scene. The atmosphere on the scene was so overwhelming that she almost couldn't breathe.

Xie Lang just sat calmly on the throne, and an invisible aura suppressed the entire scene.

She stood beside Xie Lang, feeling a sense of admiration for him unconsciously.

"The court meeting was very solemn and magnificent, and the ministers were particularly respectful to Your Majesty. Your Majesty was able to suppress the momentum of the civil and military officials in the court just by sitting in his seat, making people feel infinite admiration for you. I bow down to you."

When Xie Lang heard Chen Ziyu's answer, his expression remained as calm as ever. He continued walking forward. The scene suddenly became tense.

Just when Chen Ziyu was wondering if her answer was wrong, Xie Lang's following words shocked her.

"You haven't made clear your current status. You are a subject, not a slave."

Her words were calm, but they had an invisible power, as if they were the truth: "I have placed opportunities before you, but you must also know how to fight for them. What I need is a minister who can share my worries. Otherwise, what is the point of keeping you by my side?"

Court officials could not enter and leave the palace at will, and some things needed to be conveyed by someone. In the past, it was Xiao Qian, but he could not enter and leave the palace at will.

Besides, Xie Lang doesn't like eunuchs, so this job can only be given to female officials.

To a certain extent, what the female official conveyed was her meaning, so her thinking had to change.

Xie Lang's words were like a bolt from the blue to Chen Ziyu's ears. Opportunities must be earned by one's own efforts. She thought of the years she had spent as a female official in the palace.

In the past, a Shang Gong was only a female official of the fifth rank, with a low status. In name, she was a female official, but in reality she was just a senior palace maid, and many of her positions were usurped by the eunuchs' office.

As a fifth-rank palace maid, she did not have as much say as the sixth-rank eunuchs, especially the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department.

Now, His Majesty has directly abandoned the Silijian and replaced her with a female official, and raised her rank to the third rank, directly surpassing the fourth rank eunuch who holds the seal of the Silijian.

The most intuitive feeling is that the eunuchs who used to look down on her now need to curry favor with her.

And all these changes are because of His Majesty before us.

What is your majesty's purpose in employing female officials?

It is not only for internal and external communication, but it must also have the function of checking and balancing officials outside the court, just like the eunuchs in the past.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyu no longer hesitated and knelt down solemnly in the direction of Xie Lang: "Without Your Majesty, I would not be here today. I am willing to be the sword in Your Majesty's hand and clear away all obstacles."

"Get up." Xie Lang didn't look back and continued walking forward.

…………

In the Guangming Hall of Changle Palace, Xie Lang changed into casual clothes and was changing the female official system.

Chen Ziyu was grinding ink on the side.

Although she promoted the rank of the female officials, their positions remained the same. Except for Chen Ziyu, who was brought to her side and had a significantly improved status, the work of other female officials was still the same as usual.

The Thirteen Offices of the Eunuchs were in charge of the entire inner court, and the system of female officials in the Six Shang and Twenty-Four Departments existed in name only.

Then the female official system and the eunuch system will be combined into one.

Based on the six ministries of the outer court, the six Shangs were changed into six Si, which were divided into Sizhi, Sijiao, Siyi, Sixian and Sishan.

Sizhi, in charge of personnel transfers, is regarded as the Ministry of Personnel;

Sijiao, responsible for purchasing goods and managing money, is regarded as the Ministry of Revenue;

The master of ceremonies is responsible for all matters including etiquette and is regarded as the Ministry of Rites;

The Sizheng was responsible for the palace guards and was considered the military department;

Sixian, in charge of the palace laws, is regarded as the Ministry of Justice;

Sishan was responsible for food, clothing manufacturing, etc. and was regarded as the Ministry of Works.

Xie Lang sorted out these general directions, pointed at the papers and said to Chen Ziyu: "It will take a month to complete these."

"The minister obeys the order."

Xie Lang regained his composure. No matter how big the changes in the inner court were, they were still the emperor's family affairs. No matter how dissatisfied the court officials were, they had no choice but to accept them.

At this moment, a palace maid outside hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you."

Xie Lang nodded slightly, and the palace maid went to invite the prime minister in.

After a while, the prime minister came in with a list.

"I see your Majesty."

After Wei Renda bowed to Xie Lang, he handed over the list of victims in his hand.

His efficiency is shocking. What he ordered in the morning has already been completed.

Wei Renda saw Xie Lang's confusion and replied, "The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Chen He, had already sorted out the information of the victims a few days ago. I just listed the names based on his information."

Although Xie Lang promoted all officials by one level in the court meeting today, the position of Shangshu was too important and required Xie Lang to make the final decision personally, so Chen He would still be the Left Vice Minister.

Xie Lang nodded, then glanced at the seats below and said calmly, "Prime Minister, please take a seat."

Then he looked through the list, and the servants below were also busy, pouring a cup of tea for Wei Renda.

The hall was very quiet.

There was only the sound of papers being turned and Wei Renda drinking tea.

Xie Lang looked at the information in his hand, his expression did not change, and it was unclear whether he was happy or angry.

The former Prime Minister Zhao Yun amassed countless wealth while in office and was arrogant. This was the impression Li Jingming had of him. This document stated that he thought an army of 450,000 was enough to crush the Khitan, so he did not listen to the advice of the generals and proposed to Li Chongguang to crush them directly with the army.

Li Chongguang had originally thought so, and the two of them coincidentally decided to lead an army of 450,000 troops directly to charge the Khitan base camp. However, they fell into the Khitan trap, and with the lack of food and grass in the rear, their entire army was wiped out.

But what made him different from Li Chongguang was that he attached great importance to his reputation. In order to avoid being caught by the Khitan but unable to kill himself, he asked the Minister of War to get to know him. Before his death, he was neatly dressed and had his hair done, which was quite ceremonial.

In addition to Zhao Yun, Marquis Wu'an, the general and others died in the battlefield, while the Minister of War, the Right Vice Minister of War and others committed suicide.

The Minister of Revenue Wang An was frightened to death by the Khitan army. He could be considered the one who died the least painfully.

The most conspicuous one was a civil servant named Zhang Chengxian, the Censor-in-Chief. He did not commit suicide. Instead, he cursed at the enemy before they arrived, saying all kinds of ugly words and showing great fighting spirit. However, he was dismembered and died miserably.

Xie Lang noticed this name, Zhang Chengxian. There was also a Zhang Zexian in the court. Both of them were censors. Were they brothers?

However, Xie Lang did not hesitate for long and continued to scroll down. Finally, he saw a few names. When the Minister of Rites Wang Mengxian saw the Khitan army, he knelt down and begged for mercy on the spot and became a member of the Khitan. In the recent battles, Wang Mengxian also acted as a Khitan envoy to persuade Chen He and others to open the city gates, but was driven out by Chen He and others.

Zhang Jiali, a Hanlin scholar, helped the Khitan to come up with strategies...
