Chapter 66
Xiao Yuansi didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he decided to add fire to them.
A while ago, the matter of Wen Youting's general made a fuss, and it was rare that there were several times more notebooks on his desk than usual.
But basically they all protested against his behavior, and some used their literary talents to change their ways to scold him. Only a few people did not protest, but expressed their deep concern for the health of their majesty's dragon body.
These few people can stand firmly towards him even when the adults are criticizing him verbally and in writing, Xiao Yuansi feels that they have the potential to become flattering treacherous officials.
Deserves a big promotion!
As for what abilities they have and what jobs they are good at, it doesn't matter at all. The stupid king only does things for his own happiness, and who cares about the lives of others.
Xiao Yuansi strode to the desk, spread out the imperial rice paper, dipped his brush in ink, and swiped the brush.
My handwriting is really getting more and more beautiful, Xiao Yuansi thought narcissistically.
Hope his lovely civil servants are not intimidated by this surprise.
A sacred decree for promotion across the ranks was delivered to the civil officials three quarters of an hour later.
The civil servants were having lunch together, and almost choked after hearing the imperial decree.
"Zhu, Xiu, Shan!"
As soon as Xiaoliuzi left, the servant of the household department jumped up in a rage, and the noise was so loud that it could knock the roof down.
He pointed at an official who was hiding at the back of the crowd and shrank his head and tail. His eyes could spurt fire with anger, and the sharp eyes of the others also fell on him. Without exception, they all wanted to gnaw at him.
"The ghost is you! To catch you, we stayed up for seven days and nights without sleep! Your hiding place is really deep!"
"My lord servant, I've been wronged by the lower officials!"
"You still dare to quibble! You are an eighth-rank sesame official, and you have never even seen your majesty. You have no merit or fault. Now your majesty suddenly wants to promote you to a fifth-rank official. How dare you say you are innocent?!"
"The lower officials really don't have one, and the lower officials can't argue with their mouths!"
Zhu Xiushan was so anxious that he was about to cry. He didn't know that His Majesty would take a fancy to him. Suddenly, he pointed to another person and shouted: "He, he has also been promoted! My lord, why don't you interrogate him!"
With this finger, his eyes, sharp enough to peel and break bones, shifted to another person, and that person immediately felt great panic.
"I, I, I don't know, don't stare at me like that."
"If I were the inner ghost, I would be struck with a thunderbolt!"
Zhu Xiushan raised his hand and said righteously: "Me too! The sky is full of thunder!"
At this time.
"Boom—"
A muffled thunder sounded from the sky, and it hit the sky above the government office impartially.
"..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay
Zhu Xiushan weakly withdrew his hand, was slowly forced to the corner by others, and fell to the ground, shrouded in countless approaching figures.
It's over, it's over.
On this day's break, the civil servants walked out of the government office with dark faces and no words. Everyone's face was stained to varying degrees, and some of them even had to be supported to walk. don't know if they thought they were going to the martial arts arena.Discussed with the military officers.
Listening to Xiao Liuzi's report, Xiao Yuansi almost couldn't hold back his laughter several times.
"Host, you really know how to play." The system half flattered and half helplessly said: "A decree makes them dogs bite dogs, and when they find out that you have bitten loneliness, they will hate you to death."
Xiao Yuansi: "That's not right, you made me a foolish ruler, and a foolish ruler can't govern the government, so he can only let go and play. Besides, where is this going, I have more fun methods in the future."
Seeing Xiao Yuansi's excited appearance, and thinking of those poor civil servants, a chill came over the system, and it suddenly regretted having tied this person up as a host.
Things won't get out of its control in the end, will they?
The system feels the need to worry about this possibility.
Thinking that he could not be too arrogant before things were done, Xiao Yuansi restrained his arrogance and asked: "System, what is the status of those civil servants now?"
System: "Uh, not good, very bad, I detected that their resentment value has broken through a new high, and the rebellion is coming soon, the host works harder!"
"Oh." Then his next move can be put on the agenda.
That well-prepared bomb, released when their resentment is strong, will definitely blow up wonderful sparks.
Can't wait to see their jaws drop.
————
The government government has been covered with dark clouds for several days in a row, and the problematic accounts are sent back like running water.
The matter of investigating the ghost had to be put aside, and the accounts were the most pressing problem.
The civil servants don't talk to each other from time to time like they used to, and they may not be able to say a word when they sit face to face for a day, unless they have to speak when they are handing over work.
Silent and oppressive like a pool of stagnant water.
The arrival of Xiao Yuansi stirred up the stagnant water, and at the same time it was about to set off a storm that swept everyone.
"I see Your Majesty."
"Everyone loves you in peace."
Xiao Yuansi passed through the ministers kneeling on the ground, and went straight to the throne.
Just as the civil servants were about to get up, they heard Xiao Yuansi say lightly, "I heard that the servant minister embezzled military funds to buy some obscene trousers. I would like to know which one they belonged to. The servant minister loves them so much."
"Plop."
The household servant immediately knelt back again, blushing from the tip of his nose to the back of his ears.
Xiao Yuansi turned a blind eye, and was looking through the ledger with interest.
At this moment, the Minister of Tobe understood the purpose of His Majesty's coming here.
Come to them to settle accounts.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."
The servant of the household department knew current affairs and confessed his mistake before His Majesty said anything, and the others also knelt down when they saw this.
"Your Majesty forgive me, it's because I was confused for a while!"
"Confused?"
Xiao Yuansi smiled, threw the account book in front of them, and said: "If you are confused, how can you fill in the account book so beautifully? My people checked it five times before discovering the mystery. You are worthy of being the pillars of the country."
Hubu Shilang could feel Xiao Yuansi's anger from the cold tone of his smile. There was a cold knife hidden in the light wind, and he slashed at them quickly and accurately, but they were powerless to parry.
He lowered his head a little lower, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped onto the floor in front of his eyes and hit his heart.
who is it?
Who is helping His Majesty cheat them behind the scenes?!
Zhu Xiushan and the others swear by their wealth and lives that they will never betray, so they can be ruled out for the time being.
Could it be a military officer?
No, it's impossible, those reckless people are illiterate, it's impossible for them to understand the accounts.
There are only a few eunuchs left in the palace...
But it's impossible, every move of the eunuchs is under the supervision of the palace people, and with such abilities, why bother to enter the palace, and working with them is also qualified.
Who else could it be?
Able to do arithmetic, understand accounts, be proficient in filling accounts, know all kinds of expenses like the palm of your hand, and be careful.
It is reasonable to say that this kind of person should know him, and even if he does not know him, he should have heard of his name. How could he have no clue?
The Minister of Tobe racked his brains and couldn't figure out who it could be. Finally, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
A conjecture that made him feel cold all over came to mind.
Could it be that His Majesty has secretly supported a group of new ministers without telling them, and the ability of these ministers is not much worse than theirs!
Only this is possible!
What did His Majesty start planning?!They didn't notice it at all!
Thinking of His Majesty's recent abnormal behaviors, the Minister of Household Department felt even more frightened.
Could it be that His Majesty is deliberately pretending to be a fool with nothing to do, tricking us into relaxing our vigilance, and at the same time cultivating our own henchmen, quietly laying a net to round us up, and when the time is right, we will succeed in seizing power in one fell swoop!
To carry out such a meticulous arrangement is by no means accomplished overnight, His Majesty has only reached the crown. According to this calculation, his preparations began when he was a child who was still chasing us and letting us play with grasshoppers.
That is a child who is only eight years old!
Ju, unexpectedly...
His Majesty's city mansion is so unfathomable!
Even if the first emperor was alive, he might not be able to bear it for so many years.
As one of the courtiers who watched His Majesty grow up, he didn't even see His Majesty's real appearance. The Minister of Household Department had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or worry.
"Host, it's so strange." The system's confused voice sounded.
Xiao Yuansi asked: "What happened?"
"The civil servants' resentment towards you suddenly faded a lot."
"No, maybe you are broken."
"impossible."
System: "Anyway, hurry up and kill yourself! Let them hate you!"
"Got it! Stop yelling!"
Xiao Yuansi came back to his senses, and gave Xiao Liuzi a look at the attendant.
Little Six took out the imperial decree from his sleeve robe, and began to proclaim the decree with a shrill voice.
"Your Majesty has an order. Cao Wo, Minister of the Household Department, and Song Fen, a member of the Ministry of Industry... If the virtues are not worthy, they will be assigned to the frontier to serve as a warning to others..."
The faces of the civil servants underneath were pale, and their bodies were shaking, as if they would faint in place in the next second.
This was the first big gift that Xiao Yuansi prepared for them.
With the accusation of corruption and severe punishment, all the important people in the civil service group were sent to the frontier to eat sand.
They have worked hard for half their lives, and they have merit and hard work. They definitely cannot bear such humiliation. It is better to scold him every day after going to the frontier, spread his stupid name all over the frontier, and spread it to the ears of the enemy country, telling the enemy country that he is a swindler.The virtuous and stupid king, hurry up and destroy him!
After all, the civil servants are people who have seen big wind and waves, and it didn't take long for them to return to their usual sharpness and calmness.
It is impossible for them to go to the border area. Even if His Majesty personally decrees, as long as Prime Minister Lin does not agree, everything still has a chance to turn around.
The Minister of Household Department looked silently at a little eunuch in the corner, the little eunuch nodded, quietly went out from the side door, and went straight to the prime minister's mansion.
All they have to do now is delay the time until Prime Minister Lin comes to preside over the overall situation.
The system reminded: "Host be careful, they have called for foreign aid, Prime Minister Lin has half an hour to arrive at the battlefield."
"ha."
Xiao Yuansi raised his middle finger at them contemptuously in his heart: "A group of cowards, if they can't beat them, they will call them cheating."
"Don't worry, I can end the battle here before my grandfather comes over."
Xiao Yuansi was full of confidence, and it was time to deliver the second gift he had prepared for them.
Over there, the Minister of the Household Department contemplated for a moment, and said generously: "If your Majesty is like this, there will be no one available in the court. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
All the ministers responded with great momentum, "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
What this group of people are best at is to use the large number of people to create an aura that makes him unable to resist, thus compromising against the trend of the general trend.
The same is true for forcing him to accept the empress, and it is also the same for forcing him to give up the general.
Unfortunately, this trick no longer works.
Xiao Yuansi smiled slightly, and said: "How do you dear friends know that I have no one under my command?"
Hearing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
How could you forget about His Majesty's group of "capable people".
Xiao Yuansi clasped his palms together, and a group of imperial guards filed in and lined up beside the wall.
He smiled like a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing and said, "You guys can recognize the capable person I mentioned."
"Your servant... also recognizes it?"
The civil servants looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
If they recognized it, how could they have never heard of it?
Xiao Yuansi ordered: "It's fine."
The imperial guards were ordered to take out their tools and start tearing down the wall without saying a word.
All the civil servants stretched their necks and peered curiously over the wall, feeling an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
The person His Majesty mentioned has always been in the hall next door.
Keeping myself up at night, the culprit who is frightened is only a wall away from me, but I have never noticed it.
The civil servants only felt that their faces were hot and panicked.
The imperial guards moved very quickly, with the hammer and ax ping-pong, the wall was quickly covered with cracks like spider webs.
One last push.
"boom"
The wall was broken into a pile of earth and rocks, and a burst of loess dust was raised, causing the civil servants to raise their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
When the dust dissipated, the familiar hazy figure gradually became clear.
The two groups finally saw each other's faces clearly.
The first time they met, or reunited, they were close at hand, but they were speechless.
The civil servants stared straight at the eyeballs, almost bursting out of their sockets, their lips trembled and turned blue, and their minds went blank.
who I am?where am I?Who is that on the other side!!
The ladies haven't put down their pens yet, and they are also at a loss.
A naughty wind came in from the outside, swirled around them, messed up the hair on their foreheads, and shivered their shocked eyes.
Ladies: "Why are you here?!"
Civil officials: "Why are you here?!"
Amidst the howling ghosts and howling wolves, only Xiao Yuansi laughed badly.
Look, the big show that has been prepared for a long time, isn't it finally going to start?
