I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?
Chapter 3: The Prime Minister wants to resign? I, a tyrant, must satisfy you!
Lu Tianyuan is not only the highest-ranking military officer, but also a leading figure among the nobles.
The court meeting was the same as in the past. Both civil and military officials turned into aunties in the vegetable market and attacked each other indiscriminately in all directions.
As the criticism went on, camps emerged and civil officials and military officers started to criticize each other.
Li Tian was overwhelmed by their noise.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and just yelled.
"stop!"
The court officials stopped one after another and the scene became quiet in an instant.
Li Tian stood up and announced.
"From now on, the morning court session will be cancelled."
The court officials were stunned. Not attending the morning court?
"Retreat!"
After Li Tian finished speaking, he walked straight towards the harem.
At this time, the system sounded.
[Slacking off on state affairs, the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty - 2000! 】
[Reward: Divine Weapon Longyuan Sword! ]
The country's fortunes declined again.
This is full of sense of accomplishment.
The Sixth Wise King and Prime Minister Gao Yao glanced at each other secretly and then smiled.
"Master Gao, I salute you!"
"How can the prince be asked to toast? It should be the old minister who should toast the prince."
In the secret room, Prime Minister Gao Yao and the Six Wise Kings were drinking together.
If this matter were to be spread out, the two might be executed for the crime of collusion among court officials!
But looking at the situation of the two people, it is obvious that this is not the first time they have met privately.
Gao Yao said proudly:
"Your Majesty, this is a great plan. Your Majesty has really begun to neglect government affairs."
The Six Wise Kings laughed.
"My nephew is too immature. He wants to hold great power, but he is bothered by these trivial matters. The court officials quarrel over these matters every day, and he naturally cannot stand it."
"From now on, the task of commanding all officials will be entrusted to you, Lord Gao."
As he spoke, the Sixth Wise King raised his glass.
Gao Yao also hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and the two smiled at each other and drank the wine.
These are the plans of both of them.
When Li Tian first ascended the throne, he asked court officials to discuss state affairs at the morning court session.
Therefore, Li Shou and Gao Yao came up with this plan and discussed all the trivial matters at the morning court.
Even small matters such as the daily purchase of pens, ink, paper and inkstones by various departments had to be brought to the court for discussion.
The court officials even argued during the morning court session about who had accidentally bumped into whom.
Two years later, His Majesty could bear it no longer.
Now that Your Majesty has cancelled the morning court, the Prime Minister has taken sole power.
Gao Yao stroked his beard and smiled:
"Your Majesty is neglecting state affairs. As the Prime Minister, I should advise you against it."
"I will write a letter with the two assistants to persuade Your Majesty."
Li Shou smiled and nodded.
"That's right, the court officials should advise your majesty."
Gao Yao pretended to be righteous and said:
"Even if we lose our positions, we will persuade His Majesty to revoke his order."
Li Shou burst into laughter when he heard this.
Gao Yao often threatened His Majesty with resigning from office, and it always worked.
Li Tian has been on the throne for two years, but has not found a suitable person to replace the Prime Minister.
If Gao Yao resigned, the court would probably be in chaos.
Therefore, using this method, Li Tian would always surrender.
Gao Yao used the same old trick again, not because he sincerely wanted Li Tian to appear in court early, but because he wanted to earn a good reputation for himself.
When Li Tian returned to the harem, he met Xiao Weizi.
Little Weizi was just coming out of the armory and returning to the harem. When he saw Li Tianxing, he saluted and said:
"I have met His Majesty."
"Xiao Weizi, how is your martial arts training going?"
Li Tian was just asking casually.
He knew that martial arts required years of persistence to show results, and Xiao Weizi had missed the best time to practice martial arts, so no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to achieve any results.
Xiao Weizi immediately replied:
"I practiced according to some secret manuals, but I always felt that something was not right."
"Oh? Tell me."
"I am too stupid. I have read several secret books. Some of them say that you should train your Qi first when practicing Kung Fu, while others say that you should train your body first."
"So, Your Majesty, what should we practice first?"
Li Tian was speechless for a moment after hearing this.
He doesn't know either!
Even though he was already a tenth-level warrior, his martial arts attainments were not that great.
Li Tian didn't know how to answer, so he changed the subject.
"Let's talk about it in the imperial study."
Walking on the way to the imperial study, Li Tian was thinking about how to get rid of Xiao Weizi.
As a result, when he arrived at the Imperial Study, before Li Tian could speak, he heard someone come to report:
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, Lord Gao, and the two Deputy Prime Ministers are submitting their resignations together!"
Li Tian became furious when he heard this.
These three old foxes always use this trick to threaten me!
Then, Li Tian thought of his system and became happy again.
Originally he wanted to be a good emperor, so he naturally gave in to them in every way.
Now that he has become a tyrant, this trick is of no use to him.
Naturally it was approved!
But who will take their place?
These people must first be treacherous officials.
This will ruin the country's destiny.
Secondly, you have to be obedient, otherwise you will only cause trouble for me and make me, a foolish ruler, feel uncomfortable.
Li Tian searched through his memories.
Don't say it, there really is!
He is the father of Queen Tang Hanxue, Tang Xiaoren, the current Minister of Personnel.
He is also a top scholar, so he is capable enough!
But he is different from others, he likes to flatter people the most.
The late emperor was very unhappy about this, and the Qingliu faction also despised him.
But he was capable, so he worked his way up to the position of Minister of Rites on his own step by step.
Such a person is simply prepared for Li Tian.
The key point is that he is Li Tian’s father-in-law.
The name suggests that he is not a good person!
Tang Xiaoren, Tang villain!
But he still needs to question Tang Xiaoren's reputation!
So Li Tian looked at Xiao Weizi.
"Little Wei, you are always well-informed. Do you know what Tang Xiaoren's reputation is like?"
Tang Xiaoren? The Queen's father?
In an instant, Xiao Weizi was sweating profusely.
The queen hated him with a vengeance, so naturally he would not say anything good about the queen's father.
But if he said something bad about Lord Tang and the Queen found out, he would be even more afraid of dying.
At this moment, Xiao Weizi's mind was like a struggle between heaven and earth.
Finally he knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, I am just a eunuch, how could I understand these things?"
"I forgive you, just tell me what you are doing."
After a long while, Xiao Weizi slowly said:
"Your Majesty, it is rumored in the streets that Lord Tang is a villain."
Xiao Weizi thought that he had already offended the queen, so this time wouldn't matter. If all else failed, he would go to the imperial concubine for help.
Li Tian was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Okay, pass on the order. I approve the resignation of the Prime Minister and the two Deputy Prime Ministers!"
"Also, the Minister of Rites Tang Xiaoren will take up the position of Chief Minister from today onwards and lead the cabinet!"
After these words were spoken, Xiao Weizi sat on the ground in disbelief.
On the other side, Tang Xiaoren had just finished his official business and returned home.
Then he saw his son Tang Yan running towards him in a hurry.
"Dad, you're finally back!"
Tang Xiaoren became furious when he saw Tang Yan.
He was a top scholar, but his son Tang Yan ranked last in the Imperial College.
Many of his teachers were replaced, and they all shook their heads and resigned.
However, his daughter Tang Hanxue inherited his excellent bloodline. She was very intelligent since childhood and was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics.
Tang Xiaoren had no choice but to accept his son's becoming a playboy!
Now that he serves as the Minister of Rites, his status in the Great Zhou is already quite high.
Her daughter was also the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even though her son was a bad person, she was able to serve as a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Works through the emperor's favor.
However, this is how it will be for his whole life.
Therefore, Tang Yan paid even less attention to the affairs of the government office, and spent the whole day thinking about where to hang out.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoren couldn't help but harden his fist again.
He snorted softly.
"Where are you going?"
Tang Yan said with a guilty conscience:
"My son is having a meal with his colleagues."
Tang Xiaoren was even more disgusted when he saw his son like this, and waved his hand:
"Go!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yan ran out immediately, as if there was a vicious dog chasing him.
