In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the ministers knelt down to welcome Xiao Zhengteng's arrival.

"See Your Majesty."

The loud voice shook the top, completely breaking the early morning tranquility in the palace.

Xiao Zhengteng sat on the dragon chair, with a majestic demeanor, and his eyes were deep and sharp: "Fair."

Tang Mo stood beside him, looking at the majestic and domineering Xiao Zhengteng in front of him. Different from the mild and cold relationship he had been with before, this man truly looked like an emperor at this time, domineering, powerful, decisive in killing, and the sharpness in his eyes alone was enough to make him All the ministers trembled.

The ministers stood still, and when they raised their heads and accidentally glanced at Tang Mo beside him, their thoughts changed, and they looked at each other in blank dismay with their companions.

It was rumored that Tang Chang's son, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, had no intention of saving His Majesty, and let this dude fall into the eyes of the emperor.

None of them had seen it before, but this time they saw that he had fine eyebrows, fair skin, and elegant demeanor, but he just stood still, like a green pine in the mountains, straight and proud.

With such an outstanding temperament, is he really the legendary bully?

The well-informed ministers naturally didn't believe it. That whole body's demeanor is not something a playboy would have.

According to rumors, Mrs. Wang loves this stepson very much, even worse than his own son. The ministers who are well versed in the dangers of the human heart instantly understood.

It's only because Wang's stepson is too good that he maliciously slandered him, and ruined his reputation outside to help his son.

Tang Mo naturally accepted the strange eyes of these ministers, he didn't take it seriously, stood with his hands down, and his eyes fell on Tang Chang who was also astonished.

The astonishment in Tang Chang's heart can't be compared with words. He is very clear about the virtues of his own son. Is this really his ignorant son who can only tease cats and dogs?

It was just the dignity and elegance exuding from his whole body, which was not owned by his son.

Duke Quan took a step forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the weather is hot, but there are frequent floods in Jiangzhou. The Xin River Dam collapsed, and the water flowed into the fields. Thousands of people have been displaced. The local prefect has sent people to do their best. Fill the gap at the dam and let the people evacuate urgently.”

Xiao Zhengteng said coldly: "Is Chen Shanqiu, the servant of the household department, here?"

"The minister is here." A tall official with ordinary features stepped forward to listen to the order.

Xiao Zhengteng said: "I ordered you to be the governor, and immediately go to Jiangzhou to control the floods. The damaged places must be replaced as soon as possible. If you find anyone who cuts corners, you will be killed without mercy."

"The minister leads the order."

As soon as Chen Shanqiu went down, an official from the Ministry of War stepped forward: "Your Majesty, mountain bandits have been rampant recently in Yunzhou, and many people have suffered. One of them, called Shanmengzhai, is the most vicious. There are more than three or four hundred mountain bandits who burned, killed and looted. They do all sorts of crimes, they are organized and disciplined, the leader is a very capable blind man, plus other scattered mountain bandits, the boundary of Yunzhou is like a deep ditch in hell, which makes people frightened."

Xiao Zhengteng looked at a general next to him, and said, "General Yingfu, you will personally lead the people there, and all the bandits will be killed."

General Ying Fu stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if they intend to surrender..."

"Surrender... also kill without mercy!

Duke Quan took a step forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are some thieves who have no choice but to be brought in. If they kill them all, I'm afraid it will damage your Majesty's reputation."

Xiao Zhengteng's sharp eyes fell on him, and his tone was cold and forceful: "What I want is to kill a hundred! What I want is that no matter how poor they are, they will not be bandits who kill innocent people. Instead of thinking about Baoshan Stealing lives, you might as well think about how to fill the stomachs of the common people, and not be bandits, so as not to starve to death. The iron law I set will never be changed, and all bandits will be killed without mercy!"

Only under the iron law can the peace of the people be guaranteed.

The ministers did not dare to have any further objections, bowed their heads and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Duke Quan came forward again, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more matter to raise today."

"If it's not a state matter, don't speak up."

Xiao Zhengteng knew Quan Guogong very well, and he could tell by his expression that it had nothing to do with state affairs.

Duke Quan still wanted to speak, and he stepped forward and said: "The affairs of your majesty's family are the affairs of the world. Now the empress has been vacant for many years, and there is only one concubine and two concubines in your majesty's harem. Please allow your majesty to set up a concubine selection."

Xiao Zhengteng gave him a cold look, and said, "I don't have a son?"

"It's just three princes, too few for His Majesty the Lord of the World."

"Lin'er is useful, one is enough, not to mention I have three." Standing up, Xiao Zhengteng's sharp eyes swept over all the ministers: "There is no need to discuss this matter again, and retreat to the court."

Flicking his sleeves lightly, Xiao Zhengteng turned around domineeringly, leaving the ministers with a merciless back.

Tang Mo followed him and left the hall. Looking at the man's tall figure, four words came to mind: domineering and sympathetic!
