At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Several minutes passed.

As Sun Zhongliang finished speaking, at least half of the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony showed expressions of deep agreement on their faces.

Many of them even walked out directly from the queue.

"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Sun said is absolutely right!"

The Minister of Works Wei Zili was the first to step forward and directly expressed his support for what Sun Zhongliang said.

"Your Majesty, I also think that what Lord Sun said is absolutely right!"

Immediately afterwards, the Minister of Revenue Pei Yan stepped out.

"..."

In an instant, nearly one-third of the civil servants on the left side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony stood behind Sun Zhongliang.

On the right side of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, only Xia Yun was standing.

Xu Wan'er, Qin Tianye and others who were originally in the team of generals planned to walk out of the queue and come behind Xia Yun.

However, Xia Yun stopped him with his eyes.

When all the officials who wanted to abolish the post of Governor-General of Jiangnan stood out, Xia Yun swept his cold eyes over everyone.

Good guy.

Among as many as forty or fifty officials.

There are three ministers in the six ministries alone!

In addition, there are more than twenty red-robed officials of the second and third ranks!

Xia Yun sneered in his heart.

These Jiangnan Party officials really think highly of him.

In order to overthrow him, the first Governor-General of Jiangnan, important officials of the Jiangnan Party came out in full force!

The only thing that surprised Xia Yun was.

As the leaders of the Jiangnan Party officials, Xu Jinsong and his son from the Xu family had not yet stepped out of the queue.

"What do you want to do!"

At this moment, an angry rebuke came from the ranks of generals.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Wenzhao, who was nearly 70 years old, walked out of the queue.

Yang Wenzhao's angry eyes quickly swept across the civil servants.

"The post of Governor-General of Jiangnan was established by His Majesty himself, and everyone in the world knows it. Now you are petitioning His Majesty to abolish it. Do you want His Majesty to lose his credibility in Jiangnan and in the world?"

Words came out of Yang Wenzhao's mouth one after another.

As a serious minister, he rarely got angry in front of his ministers.

After being scolded by Yang Wenzhao, a group of Jiangnan Party officials all lowered their heads. After all, no one dared to take the blame for framing the holy name.

"Marshal Yang, that's not the way to say it. The three provinces of Jiangnan are so important that they are almost half of Daliang's territory. Even if we want to establish the post of governor of the three provinces, we must not be so careless!"

In the end, it was the Minister of Rites who spoke up and responded.

"Humph! Sun Zhongliang, do you think that just because I'm old, my mind has also become old?!"

Yang Wenzhao didn't buy Sun Zhongliang's account at all.

Faced with Sun Zhongliang's explanation, Yang Wenzhao sneered on the spot.

He has been in the court for decades.

How could he not understand that what was happening at that moment was nothing more than the Jiangnan Party officials trying to cause trouble for Xia Yun!

The reason why he stood up to speak for Xia Yun.

the reason is simple.

That is to recruit talents for the country!

The trip to Zhejiang not only made him realize that Xia Yun was a unique talent for governing the country, but also made him see Xia Yun's loyalty.

With the terrifying combat power in Xia Yun's hands, if Xia Yun had any rebellious thoughts, he would have rebelled long ago.

There is no need to endure it until now.

Therefore, even if it was to prevent Xia Yun from feeling disappointed.

He also has to stand up at this moment and confront a group of Jiangnan Party officials head-on!

"Old Marshal!"

At this moment, a sudden voice was heard from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

It was discovered that it was not someone else, but Prince Cheng.

"What does the prince have to say?"

The moment Prince Cheng walked out of the queue, Yang Wenzhao immediately frowned.

in his impression.

Prince Cheng was not originally considered an official of the Jiangnan Party.

Why should we stand up at this time and speak for the Jiangnan Party officials?

"I admit that Lord Xia Yun is indeed a man of great talent, but my Great Liang Dynasty has countless pillars, all of whom have been through many years of training."

"Lord Xia Yun is only in his early twenties. At this age, he is appointed as the governor of Jiangnan. Where does this compare to other governors of our dynasty?"

Prince Cheng spoke one after another.

"Humph, so what if you're young?"

"Since Xia Yun has the ability to govern the world, why should he learn from the mediocre people and endure for twenty or thirty years?"

Yang Wenzhao snorted coldly at what Prince Cheng said.

"The old marshal is right. If our Daliang Dynasty really has countless pillars, why didn't we see the countless pillars that the old prince mentioned during the Zhejiang War?"

Xiao Yan immediately stood up and refuted what Prince Cheng said.

The faces of all the Jiangnan Party officials were extremely pale.

They originally wanted to talk about the former Thirteenth Prince Xiao Zongnan.

But when they thought of the fact that Xiao Zongnan had lost more than 100,000 soldiers in a single battle on the Zhejiang battlefield, they could only stop and dared not say a word.

"enough!"

When the atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony had become extremely gloomy, the empress's expression had returned to normal.

All the ministers and officials then turned their attention back to the empress.

"The post of Governor-General of Jiangnan was established after much consideration by me. Xia Yun's contribution is not only in suppressing the bandits."

"From July this year till now, Zhejiang and Nanzhili provinces have been reborn under Xia Yun's leadership, ending the famine that had lasted for many years in one fell swoop. Has anyone among you ever done this?"

In front of Jiangnan Party officials, the empress personally spoke of Xia Yun’s political achievements in the Jiangnan region, which was of great significance!

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Sun Zhongliang, Wei Zili and Pei Yan looked at each other in confusion.

It was just because of what the empress said at this moment that they had no way to refute it at all.

However, just when the three were about to give up and abandon the request to dismiss the Governor-General of Jiangnan, the empress said the next words.

But it was like a bolt of thunder that suddenly struck the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

"I have decided to change the cabinet's six-department system to a seven-department system, and to establish a new Ministry of Communications. Xu Wan'er, the former governor of Zhejiang and Nanzhili provinces, will serve as the first Minister of Communications!"

"The Ministry of Transportation is in charge of the entire territory of Daliang. All transportation road construction is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Works of the imperial court."

The empresses spoke one after another.

These words instantly caused an uproar in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

The officials, whose thoughts were still on Xia Yun, all showed expressions of extreme shock on their faces!

Even Xu Jinsong, who had just chosen to close his eyes and concentrate, had to open his eyes.

And for a moment, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into deathly silence.

The empress's sudden decision caught everyone by surprise.

Until dozens of breaths passed.

Xu Jinsong, who was originally unwilling to participate in this party struggle, had to speak up.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet and six ministries system is the ancestral system established by our Emperor Taizu. Why do we want to change it now?"

Xu Jinsong asked the questions that were in his mind.

In his opinion, even if the empress wanted to vigorously build transportation roads, she could issue an edict and have the Ministry of Works carry out the specific implementation.

There is no need to set up a separate Ministry of Transport.
