I Transmigrated as the Novel's Delusional Tyrant Villain

Zhao Xin found himself transmigrated into a novel, becoming the great villain, a delusional tyrant. This tyrant was obsessed with wine and women, lingering in the imperial harem and never attending...

Chapter 47: One's Own People Slap One's Own People in the Face

Zhao Xin paid a little attention and noticed that most of these people were from the Cui family, and some were from the military, that is, Nancang.

Several other ministers looked at these people with indignation, and some were even eager to try, but were stopped calmly by the people around them.

Zhao Xin remained expressionless, but in his heart he was aware of everyone's actions and secretly remembered those people who looked indignant.

Whether they are sincere or not, these people are the forces that he can win over.

Needless to say, those who are sincere are naturally the loyal ministers who are still grateful for the hundreds of years of kindness to the Zhao family. Even if it is fake, it is a way of showing goodwill to him.

In addition, he also kept in mind those who maintained their loyalty as subjects, and these people could also be won over. These people might not be optimistic about him, but at least they still respected the Zhao royal family.

As for those old and calm ones...

Zhao Xin glanced at Yu Huatian calmly. The latter lowered his eyes slightly in understanding, obviously having understood what he meant and quietly wrote it down in his little notebook.

However, one of them surprised and yet did not surprise Zhao Xin. That person was Cui Luan.

As the core figure of the Cui family after Cui Cen, this person's performance has always been well-behaved and there is no fault to be found.

The same is true at this time.

Zhao Xin sneered in his heart, but remained expressionless. He coughed lightly, then said with a hint of worry, "My dear ministers, I'm sure you all know why I summoned you late at night."

After saying this, he glanced at the ministers and saw that almost everyone was watching their noses and their hearts. Even the few ministers who had shown indignation in their eyes just now were like old monks in meditation, and did not say a word.

Prime Minister Cui Cen and Nan Cang, one civil and one military, each leading two groups, also remained silent.

But their expressions are different.

Cui Cen sat there like a clay Buddha, solemn and dignified.

Nan Cang lowered his eyes, but there was a hint of amusement in them.

Zhao Xin frowned slightly, then spoke again, "Since you all already know, I don't need to elaborate."

If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent.

Zhao Xin sneered inwardly and then looked at Cui Cen. However, before he could speak, someone suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty summoned you so late at night, it must be something important. But please forgive me for being so presumptuous. I am not well-informed and I really don't know what it is."

As soon as this person opened his mouth, there was a slight commotion in the place.

Zhao Xin was also stunned. He didn't expect that there would be someone so stubborn as to disrupt the formation. He couldn't help but look at this person.

He recognized the man instantly; he was a junior official in the Imperial Household Department, but Zhao Xin couldn't remember his name for a moment.

There's no way around it. He hasn't been the emperor for very long, and he only had the chance to come into contact with court officials recently. Before that, he didn't even have the chance to attend court. It's already a great achievement for him to recognize that the other person holds a certain position.

However, since this person is from Taipu Temple, then it is likely, no, it should be said that he is basically a member of Cui's party, because Taipu Temple was originally the territory of Cui Wenhao of Cui's family.

Since he is from the Cui family, it is not surprising that Zhao Xin came out to disrupt the formation.

He immediately said "Oh" meaningfully, then nodded and said seriously, "I see. I was negligent and didn't consider that there are still some people among you who are not well-informed."

At the same time, Yu Huatian, Li Cunxiao and others looked at this person with some unfriendly eyes.

Especially Yu Huatian, although his eyes were lowered, a sharp coldness flashed in his eyes.

When the Shaoqing heard Zhao Xin's words, his expression changed slightly, but he immediately raised his head and said calmly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Zhao Xin smiled faintly, without commenting. He glanced at everyone present and said, "So, are there any of you who are well-informed?"

No one spoke.

Everyone could see that this Shaoqing was clearly a member of the Cui family, so no one was surprised that he stood up to disrupt the formation and atmosphere.

Naturally, no one wants to get involved in this mess.

The entire Qinzheng Hall was filled with silence.

However, some people sneered in their hearts.

"The Cui family's move is not very smart. Since they have already come here in response to the imperial edict, what is the point of doing such a petty trick?"

Humiliate Your Majesty?

I'm afraid it will backfire, right?

Nan Cang glanced at Cui Cen calmly, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything from the latter's face.

However, Cui Cen couldn't help but frown in his heart at this moment.

Cui Luan, another big boss of the Cui family, also had a glimmer in his eyes.

He subconsciously looked at his son and saw that although the latter appeared calm on the surface, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

It was immediately clear that the actions of this Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department were the masterpiece of Cui Wenhao.

Cui Luan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At this moment, Cui Luan felt deeply worried.

Suddenly I became worried about the future of the Cui family.

The Cui family has no successor.

In the current generation of the Cui family, although he and Cui Cen were not so compatible, he had to admit that Cui Cen's ability and bearing were not inferior to his, and he even had a strength and sharpness that he did not have.

It’s a pity for the next generation.

Neither his son nor Cui Cen's two sons were able to achieve anything.

Being stupid doesn’t matter, the most frightening thing is being stupid but thinking you’re smart.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Xin asked in a somewhat cold voice, "Why, are all the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty so closed-minded?"

Although his voice was not loud, anyone could hear the coldness in it.

But he didn't know that Zhao Xin was not angry at all, but couldn't help laughing.

His eyes also looked at Cui Cen intentionally or unintentionally.

He didn't know that the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Household Department had disrupted the formation. It was just a small action taken by Cui Wenhao on his own initiative. He was a little surprised that Cui Cen had lost his level.

Is this disruption of formation a humiliation to me?

Zhao Xin sneered in his heart, but with a serious expression on his face, he asked, "Mr. Cui, don't you know why I summoned you so late at night?"

Cui Cen was extremely depressed at this time. He naturally knew that the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple was a member of his Cui family, but Taifu Temple was the territory of Cui Wenhao, and Cui Wenhao was the son of Cui Luan.

Although they are all from the Cui family, there are still differences.

But he didn't know whether this action was instructed by Cui Luan or a small trick by Cui Wenhao.

If it was the latter, he could confidently call you an idiot, "Don't you know that the court is now in charge of your uncle?"

Such a big thing happened, and you actually let your people say that they were blocked from the news. Are you slapping your uncle in the face?

But he was also afraid that it was Cui Luan's instruction. If that was the case, he would have to think about whether there was any deeper meaning.

Unfortunately, he thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out the deeper meaning.

When Zhao Xin called his name, he felt pain on his face again.

But he had to force himself to be calm and said, "Your Majesty, the affairs of state are urgent. It's enough to kick out those who are just sitting there doing nothing. Why waste time on them?"
