"My minister Zhou Ping'an, thank you for your highness."

Zhou Ping'an was not surprised by his favor and disgrace. After kowtowing, he replied respectfully.

Li Chen looked at Zhou Ping'an and said, "The decree will be officially promulgated as an imperial edict later, and at the same time it will be announced to the world. After the work of the various yamen at the beginning of the year, you can officially take office. Before that, there are some people installed by the Ministry of Justice, and they will go to find you and cooperate with your work."

"It is easy to say the errands of the Ministry of Justice, and it is difficult to say it. But since I have arranged for you to the Ministry of Justice and still be the Minister of the Secretariat, then you have to make some achievements to show me."

Zhou Ping'an replied calmly: "I understand."

Li Chen looked at Zhou Ping'an with a smile and said, "At first, I didn't expect to let you come, but the others either lack the ability or are loyal and worried. They will find someone from the court to take over, which is probably for free. On the contrary, you, a white body, can confuse the cabinet after entering. If they want to attack you, they will definitely figure out where you are coming first. Before they figure it out, they will not do anything rashly."

"So, you not only need to rectify the Ministry of Justice, which has been abolished by our palace, and let the Ministry of Justice resume operation as soon as possible, but more importantly, you must be careful to deal with the open and hidden arrows in the court."

Zhou Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I want to ask for a document from the ministers of the court and the six ministers, the more detailed the better."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I will ask the people from Dongchang to send what you want to you later. Where are you living now?"

Zhou Ping'an said respectfully: "Weichen went to the Ministry of Justice to settle down later. Weichen planned to review the documents of the Ministry of Justice and start from the details."

“Very good.”

Li Chen said calmly, "Since you already have an idea, then go and find Zhang Haicheng first. This person is the new right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, transferred from another place. He is waiting for your immediate boss to come over."

Zhou Ping'an bowed and said, "I'm sorry, take your leave."

An imperial edict, carp jumped over the dragon gate.

Zhou Ping'an transformed from a sage to a minister of justice in the Qin Empire, and was in charge of the punishments of six ministries. He entered the hall and was at the center.

From a civilian to a third-rank official in the court, he was in charge of one. Not to mention the example of this, even since the founding of the Great Qin Empire, has never appeared in recent decades.

The final release of the position of Minister of Justice also announced the end of the first political event of the imperial New Year of the Tiger and the Eastern Palace in the New Year of the Empire.

From beginning to end, from the accident between the Ministry of Justice to the promotion of Zhou Ping'an, who had no political foundation in civilian status, seemed to be hoarse and had not made any statement on this.

It was not until the news that Wang Tenghuan, who lost an ear before the New Year, was demoted to the prefect of the capital, wanted to return to the position of the cabinet, that people suddenly realized.

Some even more keen people started to have an accident without warning, implicated the Ministry of Justice, which triggered a series of turmoil that Wang Tenghuan might want to reinstate his post, and roughly found a grass-gray snake line.

This is an exchange of political interests.

A cabinet position, in exchange for Xu Changqing's confidant's return, and the Xing tribe fell into the hands of the Eastern Palace, there are many different opinions on whether the deal is worth it.

But for Li Chen, the deal is not over yet.
