Ten days later!
Zhang Qi's rebellion of the Canshen came to an end.
All the court ministers involved were thrown into prison.
Although Chen An has not been dealt with yet, the purge of the court has been completed with the cooperation of Wu Zhang and Liu Tong!
Among them, Liu Tong selected some people to fill the vacancies of high-ranking officials in the court.
These people are those who were once unsuccessful or out of touch with the crowd and were ostracized.
Now, there is finally a new atmosphere in the court.
The only thing... that really made the ministers helpless was that the emperor only attended court every few days.
Compared with previous emperors, Emperor Chen An seems to be too incompetent and is simply a hands-off emperor.
Although Chen An rarely attended court, he was aware of all the major events that happened in the dynasty, but he just didn't sit in the court.
What Chen An has been busy with recently is practicing. Invisibly, Chen An has a sense of urgency!
He now naturally understood that the appearance of those residual gods was actually targeting him.
Lu Hongyi once used ruthlessness as a means to force himself to practice, and the fundamental reason was the same.
If it were in the past, perhaps Chen An wouldn’t have taken it too seriously.
He is now the emperor, controls the Nine Dragon Formation, and has an awesome wife who is the leader!
But now, even with the Nine Dragon Formation, Chen An still felt uneasy!
No one knows, if it is not the remnant gods who come, but the real gods, whether his Nine Dragon Formation can still stop them!
The most important thing is that Lu Hongyi is pregnant. Chen An, the former second-generation rich man who has always been very casual, suddenly became serious.
After all, as a man, if you can't even protect your wife and children, you are nothing but a Chinese man!
Chen An was busy with cultivation, and all the important affairs of state were handed over to Wu Zhang. Wu Zhang had now become the prime minister, in charge of military affairs.
Right Prime Minister Chu Yu stepped down and was replaced by a person selected by Chen An himself, who was not from the list selected by Liu Tong.
At this moment, the new right prime minister Li Feng and the chief minister Wu Zhang were meeting Chen An in the study of Jiulong Hall.
"Greetings, long live the emperor!"
The two of them saluted, and Chen An nodded: "No need for formalities, you two came together, what's the matter?"
Wu Zhang glanced at Li Feng, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to deal with Prince Cheng, Chu Yu, Xu Juge, and some members of the royal family."
"What do you mean?" Chen An didn't want to think about these questions and asked directly.
"Your Majesty, I think the leaders should be executed, and the rest should be exiled." Wu Zhang said, "This will also demonstrate your majesty's courage and benevolence!"
Chen An looked at Li Feng: "Li Feng, what do you think?"
Li Feng clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, I feel this is inappropriate. These people are colluding with the Liuli Sect and the former Second Prince's followers, intending to rebel. They should be executed along with their entire clan to deter these villains!"
Wu Zhang looked at Li Feng and said, "Right Prime Minister, the leader is the main culprit. If you execute all nine clans, you will implicate the innocent. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate to use too harsh a punishment."
Chen An understood that the two people came to see him together, obviously because they had different opinions on how to deal with this matter.
At this moment, Anfu came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister has returned."
"Zhang You is back. You two should go down and wait first. I will discuss this matter with you later!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As soon as the two of them went out, Zhang You came in.
However, at this moment, after the old man saluted, his face was full of resentment.
She looked exactly like a resentful woman who had been abandoned.
Chen An couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Fuck you, are you itching to look at me like that?"
The resentment on Zhang You's face suddenly turned into anguish. "Your Majesty, how could you let Wu Zhang be the Prime Minister? This position is so important, how could you give it to someone else?"
Chen An understood that this old guy wanted to be the prime minister!
Chen An's face was stern and he didn't say a word.
Zhang You saw Chen An's expression change, and immediately knelt down in a hurry, saying with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I am worried about you!"
"The country belongs to your majesty, and the Tianyue Dynasty also belongs to your majesty. I am loyal to your majesty, which is why I am so anxious."
Chen An glared at Zhang You, and the old man suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Then, Chen An said, "How's the situation at the border?"
Zhang You reported back.
Zhang You did not even mobilize many soldiers and generals on this trip. He simply cut off the way back for the invading army from the Free Territory, preventing them from sending reinforcements, and then surrounded and suppressed them.
It was solved so easily.
Chen An found this unbelievable. "It's obvious that the Nine Sun Dynasty is behind this. Otherwise, how could the Free Territory dare to attack so easily? Is there no movement from the Nine Sun Dynasty?"
Zhang You chuckled, "Relying on the prestige of Your Majesty and the Fengshen Sect, I can write a letter to the Jiuyang Dynasty, and they won't dare to act rashly. The Jiuyang Dynasty is not like the Tianyue Dynasty, and they don't dare to fight the Fengshen Sect head-on!"
Chen An nodded, and then said, "You know what happened in Tiandu City, right?"
"I know. Your Majesty, do you want to ask me how to deal with rebellion?" Zhang You's eyes were bright, and even a little excited.
It seemed that being asked by Chen An to handle important matters was a great affirmation and trust in Zhang You.
"That's right!" Chen An actually had an idea in his mind a long time ago, but he wanted to see what these people were thinking.
Zhang You stroked his goatee and suddenly said, "I'd like to ask, Your Majesty, why did you allow them to live until today?"
Chen An's eyes flashed, and he instantly felt that this old guy might really be the worm in his stomach.
"I'm asking you!" Chen An said unhappily.
Zhang You's eyes flickered, and he smirked, "Your Majesty, do you think there's someone still at large? So you're just keeping them in prison. If there really is such a person, he's bound to be afraid of being exposed, so he'll take action?"
Chen An narrowed his eyes. This old guy really understood his feelings.
Without saying anything, Zhang You seemed to confirm it.
His expression became serious. "Your Majesty, has there been any problem in the prison over the past ten days?"
Chen An shook his head: "Nothing unusual."
Zhang You chuckled and said, "Then, Your Majesty, if this person exists, then he must be confident and not worried about being betrayed. Therefore, let's force him out!"
"How to force?" Chen An's eyes lit up.
"Interrogate them. Regardless of whether anything is discovered, if word gets out, they'll say someone has confessed and there are others who haven't been apprehended, waiting to be identified!"
"Alerting the snake!" Chen An understood Zhang You's thoughts. Chen An had waited for more than ten days without any movement, so he thought the same thing!
Zhang You immediately revealed his opinion: "Your Majesty has hit the nail on the head. Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler throughout history. You can fully summarize it with just one sentence!"
"If I had even a tenth of your majesty's knowledge, I could serve as your chief minister and help you solve your problems!"
As he spoke, Zhang You simply prostrated himself on the ground, his face full of admiration and respect.
"..." Chen An was speechless.
This old guy is really obsessed with the position of Prime Minister and won't give up!
