I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

The Censorate was a clean group, and even the Prime Minister of the Cabinet could not decide whether they stayed or went.

But after Tang Xiaoren submitted a memorial to the emperor, Li Tian accepted it all and demoted all those censors!

The worst-off was the censor Sun Xing, who led the impeachment of Tang Xiaoren. He was directly sent to Lingnan to serve as a county magistrate.

The place is filled with miasma and I don't know if I can survive there.

After this operation, the Censorate immediately shut up.

Tang Xiaoren struck while the iron was hot and proposed to Li Tian to replace one third of the censors.

Li Tian also approved all of them.

Most of the censors that the Six Wise Kings had managed to control with their funding and bribery were lost in an instant.

Now all the civil and military officials in the court understood that the emperor was supporting Tang Xiaoren!

No one dared to question the authority of Prime Minister Tang Xiaoren anymore.

Even the former Prime Minister Gao Yao, who had been staying in Kyoto due to illness, immediately reported to the emperor that he had recovered.

He quickly left Kyoto with his family.

What the Six Wise Kings feared even more was that Tang Xiaoren was extremely capable!

In the past, when Tang Xiaoren was the Minister of Rites, everyone thought he was a mediocre official who just lived a life of idleness and waiting to die.

At first everyone thought that the emperor promoted Tang Xiaoren because of the queen.

But unexpectedly, Tang Xiaoren's ability is very strong!

Compared with the former chief minister Gao Yao, Tang Xiaoren's policies were more drastic.

After some reshuffle, he quickly placed all of his old friends and students into major core departments.

After resolving the issue of the Censorate this time, he successfully got his disciples into the Censorate.

Tang Xiaoren used the new faction to fight the old faction and quickly expelled the forces of the former Prime Minister Gao Yao.

The Six Wise Kings were allied with Gao Yao, and they suffered heavy losses this time.

The Six Wise Kings couldn't help but sigh that they had really made a mistake.

Now Li Tian has begun to disband the imperial guards.

This made the Sixth Wise King a little nervous. Could it be that the emperor could see through his thoughts?

"You stay here and be the chief guard of the palace, but don't go out in the near future." The Sixth Wise King said to He Chong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Finally succeeding in staying, He Chong officially began his undercover career.

These days, Li Tian is living a comfortable life.

He pushed all the memorials to Empress Tang Hanxue, and spent every day drinking and watching singing and dancing in the Lanfei Palace.

At night, he returned to the Queen's Palace to stay overnight, ate the delicious food made by Tang Hanxue, and then fell asleep in his arms.

The only shortcoming is that it has not been able to ruin the country's destiny in the near future.

However, the country has already lost 3000 points of fortune this month.

Li Tian was not in a hurry. At this rate, he would be able to achieve his goal soon.

"What? The Queen Mother wants me to come over?"

That morning, when the queen was helping Li Tian change his clothes, Xiao Weizi came to deliver a message.

Li Tian’s biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, is also the current Empress Dowager.

She is not Li Tian’s biological mother.

Li Tian's biological mother was actually a palace maid who died during childbirth.

He was raised by the Queen Mother.

When Li Tian first ascended the throne, he had a good relationship with Empress Dowager Zhang.

But Empress Dowager Zhang always relied on her status to recommend her family members to serve as officials in the court.

Li Tian agreed at first, but these relatives from the Empress Dowager's family were really useless.

Then an imperial censor wrote a letter accusing Li Tian of "abusing the power of the emperor's relatives."

Li Tian could no longer tolerate this, so he dismissed several officials from Empress Dowager Zhang's family, which offended Empress Dowager Zhang.

The Queen Mother actually summoned me?

Li Tian then remembered that in addition to the queen and the imperial concubine, there was also a queen dowager in the harem.

By the way, doesn’t the Queen Mother like to recommend useless people from her own family to be officials?

This could ruin the country's destiny again!

Very good, very good!

Li Tian immediately said to Xiao Weizi: "Let's go to Cining Palace!"

Cining Hall is the empress dowager's bedroom.

Although Li Tian has a bad relationship with the Queen Mother.

But after all, she is the emperor's biological mother, and Empress Tang Hanxue is a good daughter-in-law.

So the Cining Palace was also very luxurious, with a lot of palace maids and eunuchs.

"His Majesty is here!"

Li Tian walked into the Cining Hall.

I saw a graceful and elegant woman sitting on a high seat in the main hall.

Empress Dowager Zhang was not the late emperor’s original wife and she is only thirty years old this year.

As she lived a life of luxury, Empress Dowager Zhang looked like she was in her twenties.

She said to Li Tian: "Your Majesty, you are here."

Li Tian noticed that there was a skinny and wretched old man sitting in the hall.

"This is my mother's younger brother, Zhang Chai."

"I'm begging Your Majesty for the last time. Zhang Yuchai is a talented person. Please give him an official position."

Seeing Empress Dowager Zhang's pleading expression, Li Tian immediately said, "Don't worry, mother. I will make sure everything is done!"

Seeing that Li Tian agreed so readily, Empress Dowager Zhang was also stunned.

Li Tian was looking at the wretched old man standing beside him, and he felt very happy.

Zhang Xiuchai, Zhang the loser!

Great, another parasite to the country!

Is there any worry that the country’s destiny will not be ruined?

The Queen Mother is so awesome!

This Zhang Chai has a sly look on his face, and he doesn't look like a good person even when he smiles.

The more Li Tian looked at it, the more satisfied he became. This is the kind of talent that the Great Zhou Dynasty needs!

Zhang Chai felt frightened when Li Tian looked at him.

Li Tian coughed lightly and said, "Since he is the Queen Mother's cousin, I must make good arrangements for him."

"Zhang Xiancai, what position do you want?"

Zhang Feichai was stunned. Is this something he could choose from?

Empress Dowager Zhang was also stunned.

In the past, when she asked His Majesty for an official position, Li Tian always looked reluctant.

Arrange some minor officials to fool her.

He also said something like "officials of a country should not be appointed lightly."

Why are you so generous today?

Zhang Yuchai bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am not good at the imperial examinations. I like to read some idle books and want to work in the Ministry of Works."

This was also the result of discussion between Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhang Chunchai.

All the previous relatives were overambitious and lacked the ability to achieve their goals.

The Empress Dowager introduced them to Empress Li Tian, and they were both assigned to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel.

These relatives have little talent or culture.

Those old foxes in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue soon made them run around in circles.

Just pick out a few faults and report them to the emperor.

He was soon dismissed.

So this time the Queen Mother has learned her lesson and decided to stay in the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Works was in charge of the Zhou Dynasty's engineering construction, war horse maintenance, weapons forging, etc.

It is the department with the largest number of officials.

The people in the Ministry of Works are almost all technical personnel, and they are a little easier to fool than those old foxes in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue.

Although Zhang Xiuchai did not pass the imperial examination, he loved to read many miscellaneous books.

I can be considered a "programmer" with a bit of a lopsided attitude.

Li Tianze thought to himself: The Ministry of Industry can do it!

This loser is really good!

The Ministry of Industry is a place where corruption and bribery are very easy to occur!

As expected of a relative of the Empress Dowager, he is born to bring disaster to my country's destiny!

Li Tian patted Zhang Yuchai on the shoulder and said, "The Ministry of Industry is good. My dear minister, do your job well. I will never treat you unfairly!"

Zhang Yingchai became excited.

He was not a scholar who followed the imperial examination system.

I have been treated with cold eyes for many years.

Moreover, the books he liked most were the ones that other readers looked down upon the most.

Empress Dowager Zhang's family rose to prominence during the reign of the late emperor.

But there has never been any outstanding talent in the family.

They had no choice but to drag Zhang Chai out.
