As a mature politician, he is good at drawing cakes, mobilizing emotions, and passionate speeches are essential. What these civil servants want has been determined from the beginning.
All the civil servants of the past dynasties wanted was to be remembered in history, but Emperor Xin didn't care about this reputation at all. If he wanted it, just give it to him.
When Emperor Xin saw that the civil servants no longer objected, he immediately felt like an emperor.
"Huang Feihu obeys the order!"
"I'm here!"
"I order you to be Marshal of Pingnan, Zhang Guifang to be Deputy Marshal, Kong Xuan to join the army and lead an army of 10,000, and Deng Jiugong, the commander-in-chief of Sanshan Pass, to assist and pacify the 100,000 mountains in the south."
"I obey your decree!"
To be on the safe side, Emperor Xin still sent an extra Zhang Guifang. With these two generals and Kong Xuan, it was easy to defeat the Southern Witch God Cult.
After that, there were a series of issues such as the collection of military rations and the mobilization of elite soldiers. After a few hours, the court meeting ended with hunger.
Emperor Xin took the map of Dashang again. Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu, Zhang Guifang, Kong Xuan, and Shen Gongbao were eating a bowl of noodles and discussing the march and fighting.
Di Xin ate two large bowls and a clove of garlic, and then said to Huang Feihu, "This expedition will be carried out according to circumstances. Don't be careless. Please discuss with Mr. Kong more often."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know Mr. Kong's ability well."
Huang Feihu still recognized Kong Xuan's ability very much.
Kong Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. With your ministers here, nothing will go wrong."
Emperor Xin looked at Kong Xuan and felt frightened. He couldn't help but make a prediction for Kong Xuan.
When he saw the hexagram, Di Xin was suddenly surprised and said, "Southeast? Is there danger?"
"southeast?"
When this position was mentioned, everyone was puzzled. Even Kong Xuan didn't realize there was anything wrong with this position.
Di Xin thought for a moment and bit another clove of garlic. He suddenly felt hot and suddenly thought of something.
"Mr. Kong, can the immortal volcano be in the southeast?"
Kong Xuan was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, the direction is indeed southeast, but the Immortal Volcano is at the end of the sky, not among the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"The end of the sky!"
Di Xin pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of anything, so he had no choice but to give up.
Afterwards, the discussion continued until dark, when the ministers gradually dispersed.
Di Xin stretched his waist and suddenly felt extremely sore. He called a servant to carry a lantern, and then walked towards Queen Jiang's palace.
Creak...
Before entering the middle palace, I saw a beautiful woman among the lights, skillfully playing with a loom, spinning and weaving hard while it was still dark.
The servant was about to call out, but was stopped by Di Xin, who then ordered him to step aside. He stepped forward alone, sat aside, and looked at Queen Jiang seriously.
Perhaps because someone was staring at her, Queen Jiang looked back and saw Di Xin, and was immediately startled.
"Your Majesty!"
Queen Jiang immediately stood up and was about to bow down, but Di Xin directly pulled her up and grabbed Queen Jiang's hand. The couple was speechless for a moment.
Queen Jiang had a lot to say, but after seeing Emperor Xin, she was speechless for a while.
"Thank you for your hard work, Queen."
The magnetic words made Queen Jiang cry for a moment, and Di Xin hugged Queen Jiang in his arms, his eyes hurting.
"Your Majesty!"
Queen Jiang's sobs made Di Xin comfort her for a while.
"Queen, Gu Zhen has no face to come to see you. The matter of Donglu..."
Queen Jiang is the daughter of Jiang Huanchu. What Emperor Xin and Yin Hong did this time put Queen Jiang in a dilemma. Looking at the white hair in her black hair, the queen was obviously extremely worried.
"Since I am the king's wife, I am no longer the eldest daughter of Donglu. What's more, Hong'er did not treat grandpa harshly. Even Wen Huan can enjoy Gunzhou in peace. My father and brother are like this, so I am satisfied."
Since Di Xin left, Queen Jiang has been in charge of Chaoge. If it is a critical moment,
Despite the immediate destruction, Yin Hong did not take Donglu so smoothly.
"What more can a husband ask for when his wife is like this?"
Emperor Xin hugged the queen in his arms and couldn't help but sigh. If not for the fact that Queen Jiang was very sensible and that Jiang Wenhuan had rejected her request several times, this matter would not have been successful so quickly.
Of course, Di Xin was not a vegetarian in supporting Chaoge. Just doing that would make the couple really fall out. This is something Di Xin absolutely cannot accept. But he is the king of Shang and is being coerced. Sometimes
Can't help myself.
Queen Jiang was also very clear about this. Neither of the couple said anything, both wanting this to remain buried deep in their hearts forever.
After a long night's sleep, Di Xin was too lazy to get up the next day, but he was still woken up by the queen.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are waiting for you."
The sleepy Di Xin yawned and said, "I can't rest for a few days."
"The Spring Festival will be here in a few days, so your Majesty can rest for a few days."
Queen Jiang handed the white porridge in her hand to Di Xin, who was eating while being served by attendants.
"That's all, the New Year is approaching, but I can't delay it, so I left alone."
At the end of the year, civil servants were making various financial and tax forecasts in a tedious manner. Emperor Xin could not take a nap and had to pretend to listen patiently.
But Prime Minister Shang Rong did all these things properly, and Di Xin had nothing to do with him at all.
Di Xin is like a seal. Di Xin only needs to stamp the document submitted by the Prime Minister.
"Your Majesty, I am old and unable to cope with this. Please allow me to return home."
Di Xin was about to take a nap when he was suddenly awakened by Shang Rong's resignation and return home.
"Why does the old prime minister suddenly want to return home?"
"Since my last stroke, my mental energy has been much weaker than before. With my busy schedule, I am really unable to continue to govern."
Shang Rong's expression was sincere, but his words were obviously lacking in strength, which made Di Xin worried.
After Shang Rong suffered a stroke, Emperor Xin once took his pulse and said that Shang Rong still had ten years to live.
However, during Emperor Xin's expedition, the burden of Chaoge fell completely on his shoulders. Although there were Bigan, Meibo and other civil servants assisting him, Shang Rong, who was thoughtful and thoughtful, did everything himself.
However, Emperor Xin finally returned, and the Pingnan War was to be carried out immediately afterwards. In addition, the preparation of military rations and the year-end financial budget made Shang Rong's condition worse.
Emperor Xin walked up to Shang Rong, helped the old minister up, and said, "The old prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements, but it is Gu's fault."
Emperor Xin walked around and said, "I granted Shang Rong the title of Grand Tutor. He walks around the palace every day and still lives near the palace so that I can listen to the Grand Tutor's lectures at any time."
Upon hearing this, Shang Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief. This heavy burden was finally handed over.
"It's just the old Prime Minister, who should be in charge of this position of Prime Minister?"
The Prime Minister is the head of civil servants and needs to think carefully.
At this time, all the ministers looked at Bigan and Meibo.
One of them is Bigan, the head of the clan, and the other is Meibo, a senior doctor who also serves as an admonishment doctor. However, both of them have problems.
If Bigan becomes Prime Minister, I am afraid that the clan and civil servants will merge, which is not a good thing for Emperor Xin.
But Meibo is too strong-willed and doesn't know how to twist and turn. It can be seen from the fact that he agreed with Jue to send troops to pacify the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He cannot be the leader of the hundred officials.
As for the others, they either lacked qualifications or had their own problems. For a moment, the ministers were speechless.
