Zhao Xin really has nothing to do now.

The most important thing is to form an army, and in fact, Zhuge Liang was chosen because of this situation.

Zhuge Liang was a minister who took on too much responsibility. With him around, it was easy for all the burdens to fall on him.

This is what I am doing now. Since I summoned him, I have been entrusting many things to him, and now I rely on Zhuge Liang even more.

But it’s also good this way. During the decades that Zhuge Liang was alive, there was basically not much to worry about.

All we have to do is give him the position of prime minister, and the rest will be handled well.

Zhuge Liang's loyalty is 108, 3 points higher than Yu Qian.

But since he also broke the upper limit of 100 ministers, Zhuge Liang was prone to autocratic behavior, which seemed to suit him.

When Zhuge Liang was around, he would be given more power, so he would have much less to do.

Zhao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the feeling of building an army and going to fight. Long live the emperor.

This sounds so exciting. Now Daqin is getting on the right track.

From now on, it should be the same scenario as that of Wang Mang and Liu Xiu.

The war between me and Chu was like the war between Wang Mang and Liu Xiu, and the routes of both sides were somewhat similar.

I just don’t know how Chu Zhan’s blessing from God will manifest itself.

It would be interesting if there were to be an earthquake, flood, wind, fire or other disaster to my 250,000-strong army.

After all, Liu Xiu's title of Grand Mage and Son of the Plane is just a joke, so it's hard for him to say what the real situation is.

Chu Zhan is the real child of destiny. He was originally the protagonist of the novel, but now he has become like this. I wonder what the situation will be like when he confronts Chu Zhan later.

Zhao Xin thought about it and decided to go to the Hanlin Academy to take a look. Zhuge Liang didn’t care much about the affairs of the Hanlin Academy.

He commanded all the ministers by himself, and the entire court ran perfectly. He did not need more manpower, and the Hanlin Academy was still working for him.

But no new orders were issued to them. Yu Qian was asked to collect taxes. Zhuge Liang said he would intervene. As a result, a document was issued to all county governors, and the matter was resolved. I was very curious about what Zhuge Liang wrote to scare those county governors like that.

When I arrived at the Hanlin Academy, it was really quiet. Originally, the Hanlin Academy had its own tasks to do every day, but after Zhuge Liang appeared, it was indeed a bit deserted here.

Liu Muzhi came forward and said, "Your Majesty." He allowed Liu Muzhi not to kneel down and he just bowed his head to him.

"Well, I see the Hanlin Academy has suddenly become quiet and not very busy anymore."

Liu Muzhi and he had been together all the way. When he first came here, Liu Muzhi was his trusted and important minister, and they were very familiar with each other, so Zhao Xin's tone was much more relaxed.

"Yes, Your Majesty... This... Zhuge Liang is truly a genius..."

"I consider myself a talent worthy of assisting the king, but compared to Prime Minister Zhuge, I am far behind."

"Now, seeing Zhuge Liang is like seeing a god to all the ministers in the court."

"They say, Your Majesty, you are trying to establish prestige for Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. The idea of ​​punishing yourself with a hundred severe blows is truly foolish."

"All the ministers say that the Prime Minister is a god..."

Zhao Xin: “…”

It was indeed superfluous. The reason why he said it was a hundred battles was not to establish Zhuge Liang's prestige. Zhuge Liang was a genius. Establishing prestige was superfluous. As long as he took office, he would immediately be able to manage the ministers well.

But directly appointing him as prime minister was impossible. The prime minister was the head of the civil officials, and there was really no way to let Zhuge Liang be the prime minister without saying something.

Of course, the final result was that Zhuge Liang served as prime minister, but he had no salary and no official position, he just served as prime minister.

However, Zhuge Liang did not seem to be in particular need of money, so he sent some money, food, and precious jewelry and metals.

The palace provides all the necessities of life, so Zhuge Liang is now working for himself for free, roughly like that, with no salary and no official position.

But there was no other way. Zhuge Liang helped him solve the problem of 250,000 troops. He really didn't want to wait for Zhuge Liang to be promoted step by step.

If you take office earlier, you can get things done as quickly as possible.

Zhao Xin said, "It's okay, as long as I can get the job done."

"I have no idea what to do with that group of ministers. I never expected them to be so convinced by Zhuge Liang."

"Your Majesty, what should our Hanlin Academy do next?"

"Regarding organizing the army, Prime Minister Zhuge has mobilized five thousand Imperial Guards and has already begun making arrangements. He said it was your Majesty who gave the instruction."

Zhao Xin said: "Yes, Zhuge Liang asked me for permission before, and I approved it." Zhao Xin said "I" one moment and "mine" the next.

When talking about important things, it is not convenient to say "I", but Liu Muzhi himself usually does not call him "Zhen", after all, they are very familiar with each other.

Liu Muzhi nodded, "Okay, that's good."

"But, to be honest, if someone else said he wanted to mobilize 5,000 imperial guards to organize an army, I really don't think he could do it."

"But what Zhuge Liang said is fine to me."

"He can do it. This man is truly a genius."

"Master Yu Qian and I were already quite overwhelmed with the tax issue."

"But once Zhuge Liang issued a document, all local administrations resumed operations, and tax revenues increased fourfold!"

"Furthermore, Zhuge Liang sent forty civil servants to various places to take up temporary posts, and the supervisory system actually started to function."

Zhao Xin said, "That's all temporary. Zhuge Liang has done a good job with the tax collection, and the supervisory system is just a delaying tactic."

"In the end, it still needs to be completely rectified. Of course, this matter still depends on Zhuge Liang."

Liu Muzhi sighed, "Your Majesty has indeed recruited a true king's assistant this time."

"Okay, okay, now the question is, what do we do?"

Liu Muzhi added, "Generals Li Cunxiao and Wang Xuance were summoned by Zhuge Liang, and Yu Huatian also went."

"Lord Yu Qian and I will stay in the Hanlin Academy, but it seems that Lord Yu Qian and I have nothing to do for the time being."

Zhao Xin said: "There is something to do, how come there is nothing to do?"

"Go with me to investigate the Nan family. I want to see what kind of family dares to seize my military power."

"Those people from the aristocratic families love to discuss politics all day long, and they scold me like a dog."

"But none of those noble children from aristocratic families dare to interfere with my rule."

"The Nan family holds the military power in their hands, and I can't rest in peace."

"Come with me to learn more about the Nan family. I want to get to know this family more thoroughly."

Liu Muzhi bowed again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
