The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 2048 Strength Creates Prestige

"Don't dare!"

Zan Gan lowered his head.

On the grassland, a true warrior will only submit to someone stronger than himself. It is obvious that Wang Min made Zan Gan sincerely convinced.

Wang Min glanced at the ministers calmly and said, "Your Majesty and the ministers can continue to discuss matters. Don't worry about me."

Emperor Qin nodded and took over the initiative in the court.

The southern expedition to the Southern Xiongnu was thus stopped.

Although the Qin Emperor was still lacking in experience in major affairs, he was already very skilled in other internal affairs, and was able to make good decisions on the political opinions put forward by his ministers.

Although he was still young, the Qin Emperor had already displayed the demeanor of a heroic ruler, making people submit to him.

Wang Min sat aside, and was quite satisfied with Emperor Qin's subsequent performance, with a hint of relief between her phoenix brows.

The Qin Emperor looks 70% similar to Qin Yun, as if they were carved from the same mold. As he grows older, they look even more alike.

Especially the eyes and nose, they are exactly the same.

However, Emperor Qin's eyes were different from Qin Yun's. His eyes were calm but sharp and fierce, like an eagle on the grassland, looking down on the world.

Very similar to Wang Min.

Sometimes when Wang Min looked at Qin Di, it was as if she was seeing Qin Yun.

"This concludes today's morning meeting!"

Qin Di's voice interrupted Wang Min's thoughts.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother!"

Emperor Qin and Wang Min left the hall surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, and then the ministers left one after another.

The study room.

Emperor Qin sat in the chair with a tired look on his face.

Wang Min placed high hopes on him and used the most rigorous methods to train and cultivate Qin Emperor.

"Di'er, are you angry?"

Wang Min sat next to Emperor Qin, with a hint of helplessness in her beautiful eyes.

The Qin Emperor shook his head and said, "Mother, I am not angry. You are right. It is too dangerous to conquer the Southern Xiongnu. The time is not right yet. Besides, how could I be angry with you?"

"I'm just too tired."

Wang Min touched Emperor Qin's head and smiled helplessly: "Of course, my mother knows that you are not angry with me, you are angry with the ministers!"

"No!" Qin Di lowered his eyes and then smiled, "I'm really just too tired."

"Emperor!"

Wang Min suddenly frowned, and looked at Qin Di with anger in her beautiful eyes, "Did I ever teach you to lie?!"

When Emperor Qin saw Wang Min was angry, his imperial majesty suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the grievance of a child who had made a mistake.

"Mother, I was wrong. You are right. I am angry."

"very good!"

Wang Min raised her perfect face and looked at Emperor Qin, "Tell my mother why you are angry?"

Emperor Qin curled his lips and said, "I am obviously the emperor, but they disobeyed my orders. Of course I am angry."

"This is where the problem lies!"

Wang Min's eyes showed a doting look, "Di'er, do you know why they don't obey your orders?"

"Prestige! Strength!"

Emperor Qin's eyes revealed an arrogant look, "If I had strong power and prestige that could convince people, these ministers would never dare to disobey my orders!"

Wang Min looked at Emperor Qin's defiant appearance and showed a look of relief.

"That's right. Only with great strength can you create prestige that shocks everyone!" Wang Min said, stroking Qin Di's long hair. "If you want others to believe in you, you must first show your strength."

"He did a great job on that."

Wang Min thought of someone, and the look in his eyes became more complicated.

"he?"

Emperor Qin guessed who Wang Min was talking about.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely do better than him! I will prove it to you! I, Emperor Qin, am the most powerful!"

Emperor Qin looked ambitiously outside the Shangshu Room, as if he wanted to conquer the vast sky.

Wang Min looked at Emperor Qin with a smile in her eyes: "Well, Emperor is the best. Mother believes in you. One day you will rule the world..."

"Let that guy see that the son I, Wang Min, taught is unrivaled in the world!"

At this moment, Wang Min was full of domineering power, like a empress, stunningly beautiful and insolent.

……

Daxia, Taiji Hall.

Emperor Qin Yun was not in Daxia, and all government affairs were handled by Crown Prince Qin Rui with the assistance of key ministers such as Gu Chuntang and Guo Ziyun.

Qin Rui is now a young man, and looks very much like Qin Yun, with a tall figure, gentle temperament, and the demeanor of a gentleman.

Although he seems gentle, Qin Rui is quite capable in handling government affairs and managing his subordinates. Even ministers such as Gu Chuntang praise him highly.

Unlike the ambitious Qin Emperor, Qin Rui is more restrained, but the ambition in his heart is no less than that of others.

Under the guidance of Gu Chuntang and others, he has the demeanor of a Confucian gentleman.

"Your Highness, there have been reports of corruption in the Yangzhou officialdom recently."

Gu Chuntang lowered his hands and reported: "I think the wind of corruption is like poisonous miasma and ant bites. It will inadvertently cause the towering trees to collapse. We must crack down on it severely!"

Qin Rui sat beside the dragon throne. He was only the crown prince, acting as regent, and did not dare to sit on the dragon throne.

"It must be thoroughly investigated!"

Qin Rui looked solemn. "Corruption cannot continue. I must eradicate it completely. If we don't eradicate it, it will spring up again. If all officials in the world follow suit, Daxia will be in danger!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so!"

The ministers nodded one after another.

Qin Rui glanced at the ministers and asked, "Where is the Ministry of Personnel?"

"Your Highness, I'm here!" The Minister of Personnel stepped out from among the ministers.

Qin Rui said: "I order you to thoroughly investigate the Yangzhou officialdom, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, and not let go of any dark corners! Anyone who does not cooperate with the investigation will be suspended, and can only be reinstated after a thorough investigation."

"In addition, the Ministry of Justice will cooperate with the Ministry of Personnel in this operation. All corrupt officials will be arrested and paraded through the streets. Those who embezzle more than 10,000 taels of silver will be beheaded in the streets to show the public the spirit of integrity!"

"Yes!"

The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Justice nodded in unison.

Gu Chuntang was quite satisfied as he listened to Qin Rui's orders.

This boy has the demeanor of a sage and wise king!

It will be great in the future!

Qin Rui looked at a figure among the ministers and asked, "Lord Jinzhu, my father has written to me several times asking about the musket. I wonder how your research is going?"

Jinzhu walked out from among the ministers and said, "Your Highness, some prototypes of muskets have been produced, but they are still in the testing stage. The barrel pressure is too high, so it is easy to explode. It is very unstable and cannot be used on the battlefield yet."

"Is that so..." Qin Rui said, "Then Lord Jinzhu has to work harder. Father also attaches great importance to this matter. The West has dispatched a million troops to divide the territory of the British region with Father. Seeing that the war is about to break out, the sooner the muskets are made, the better!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Jinzhu nodded.
