My subjects are too rebellious!

"Qin Hui, if you hadn't mentioned the King of Beiliang, perhaps you could have lived a few more days."

"such a pity!"

"I changed my mind."

"Drag Qin Hui away and execute him immediately!"

Seeing that Cai Jing seemed to be about to leave, Qin Chuan stared at him coldly.

"Why, Master Cai wants to plead for him?"

"Don't forget, I haven't settled the matter with you about your son yet."

As soon as these words were spoken, Cai Jing, who was about to leave, was stunned.

He understood that as long as he kept his official position, it didn't matter if his son was gone, because he could still have another one.

But if he lost his official position, it would mean he would lose his life.

"Xiang Yan, do you have anything to say?"

Yan Song left the class without any panic.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection."

"Yuhuatian!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"I order you to conduct a thorough investigation. No matter who is involved in these 276 people, I will bring them to justice."

"I want to let the world see that I do not tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. If you want to be an official of my Wu Dynasty, you must first consider whether you are fair and honest."

When Yan Song heard this, he looked around at the empty square and left the class.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

"Accurate."

"Your Majesty, the people in the court are in a state of panic, and there may not be enough reserve officials."

"Your Majesty, why don't you show mercy and reopen the imperial examination? I'm sure the students in the world will be grateful for your kindness."

Qin Chuan looked at Yan Song with some surprise. He didn't expect that it was he who took the initiative to propose reopening the imperial examination.

I had been planning to find an opportunity to propose it myself, but now that Yan Song has proposed it, then...

"Okay! You, the Left Prime Minister, will be in charge of this matter."

"Li Linfu, the Minister of Rites; Ruan Dianfu, the Minister of War; Sima Yi, the Imperial Tutor."

"You three will come together. The left minister will be the chief examiner, and you will assist from the side."

The people who were named came out together and bowed, saying, "We respect your order."

Qin Chuan glanced at Wei Zhongxian, who had been very low-key recently, and thought of something.

"Yu Huatian, Wei Zhongxian, you two come to see me in the palace."

"Dismiss the dynasty!"

As Qin Chuan flicked his sleeves, today's morning court came to an end.

Zhang Baigui, who originally wanted to submit a memorial, now had no choice but to follow the ministers in paying homage.

"Long live your majesty."

After standing up, he looked at his colleagues around him who were so scared that their legs went limp, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

And Yan Song seems to have returned to the center of power.

Looking at Yan Song, who was surrounded by officials and received constant flattery but politely declined, Zhang Baigui knew that this left prime minister might be a major obstacle for him to enter the center of power.

As for the position of right prime minister, Zhang Baigui was determined to get it.

He left with a wave of his sleeves in high spirits, as he still had a lot of things to do.

Wei Zhongxian and Yu Huatian, who came into the Qianqing Palace, looked at each other.

Neither of them is willing to give in to the other, but recently the West Factory has really overshadowed the East Factory.

"Eunuch Wei, you have to work hard for His Majesty. There are people watching you."

"Haha, there's no need for you to worry about what we do."

Qin Chuan was very satisfied watching the two people bickering.

If the two of them were in harmony with each other, Qin Chuan would really be afraid.

"Yu Huatian, you don't have to worry about the Jinyiwei from now on. You only need to be responsible for the affairs of the West Factory."

"There are two things you need to do for me right now."

Yu Huatian showed no dissatisfaction at all, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I will serve you loyally."

"Ah."

This attitude is very good.

"First, whether it is the case of Yuan Zai from the Ministry of Revenue or Chen Ziqiang from the Ministry of Personnel, solve them as soon as possible."

"Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, those who deserve to be exiled will be exiled, and those who have committed the most heinous crimes will not be spared even within the nine clans."

"I obey your order! I wonder what the second thing your majesty is talking about."

After thinking about how to express it in his mind, Qin Chuan stood up and walked to Yu Huatian and said without any doubt.

"For the second thing, I want you to spread out all the spies from the Western Factory."

"Keep close watch on Wu Sangui, the Prince of Pingxi, Dong Zhuo, the Prince of Beiliang, and Zhao Kuangyin, the Prince of Yong'an."

"I want to know the military strength of their fiefdoms and their generals."

"Do you understand all the details?"

When Yu Huatian heard about this mission, he immediately said excitedly: "I understand! I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"

"very good."

Qin Chuan patted Yu Huatian's shoulder with satisfaction and said softly.

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, looked at Yu Huatian with great envy.

This second task is comparable to the achievement of founding a country!

Looking at the somewhat depressed Wei Zhongxian, Qin Chuan smiled and spoke gently.

"Don't be discouraged. The task I have assigned to you is to provide porridge to the people."

"Don't think this is a small matter. You are not providing porridge to a county or a place, you are providing porridge to poor people all over the world."

"Besides, you are distributing porridge in my name. You must know the importance of it."

Wei Zhongxian thought of something and suddenly became excited.

"Your Dongchang doesn't have a good reputation among the people, so you want to restore it by distributing porridge."

"We need to establish a good image of your East Factory in the hearts of the people."

"Besides, you are distributing porridge in my name. If you still want to go there, it will not only damage the reputation of your East Factory."

"It will damage my reputation even more, so do you understand how important this is?"

Wei Zhongxian had already figured out the cause and effect relationship, and immediately kowtowed excitedly and said, "I understand!"

"I will definitely do this well and will not allow your Majesty's reputation to be tarnished in any way."

Qin Chuan was very satisfied seeing the attitude of the supervisor of the Second Factory.

"Well, that's good."

"Also, I'm giving you a reminder."

"Going out to distribute porridge is secondary. The main thing is to maintain the image of your East Factory. If you encounter people who oppress the people."

"Do you know how to do this?"

Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I understand."

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Qin Chuan quickly leaned closer and whispered.

"Don't just focus on distributing porridge. Give orders to collect local information while distributing porridge."

"Whether they are businessmen or officials, we must collect information to find out whether the source of their money is clean."

"Now, do you understand?"

This is simple. It’s just confiscating property. This is the East Factory’s specialty. How could Wei Zhongxian not understand it?

"I understand, Your Majesty, I understand."

Seeing the unusual blush on Wei Zhongxian's cheeks, Qin Chuan hurriedly reminded him.

"If the source of their money is not from exploiting the people, forcing them to buy and sell, or seizing their land, but is obtained through legitimate means."

"You should not bother such people! When investigating corrupt businessmen and officials, their crimes must be made public."

"At the same time, the porridge must not be plain, and it must be strong enough to hold the chopsticks."

"You have memorized all of this. When you have achieved the recognition of the people, I will give you the next task."

Wei Zhongxian knew that his task was not much easier than Yu Huatian's, but more difficult.

He immediately pointed to the heavens and swore, "I, Wei Zhongxian, will do my utmost to serve Your Majesty. If I disobey you, the gods and ghosts will punish me!"

"Okay, go down. I will remember all your contributions."

"When the world is at peace, I will reward you all!"

"I, Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"

"Long live your majesty!"

The two of them bowed in unison, then bowed and left.

This time, the two of them did not quarrel after leaving the Qianqing Palace, which was unusual.

But the desire to win in each other's eyes seemed to be even more intense.
