Zhang Jue fell into deep thought.
He was wondering why His Majesty suddenly appointed him as the Imperial Master.
The word "national master" carries too much weight.
In terms of position, it is almost on par with the prime minister.
If so, the prime minister is the leader of all scholars in the world.
Then the national teacher is the leader of all religious figures in the world.
Gradually, Zhang Jiao's brows furrowed.
Suddenly, it dawned on him.
perhaps...
Your Majesty has investigated myself and learned about my abilities, which are sufficient for the position of Imperial Master.
That's why he named himself the national teacher!
This way, it can be explained.
But, Your Majesty's methods are too astonishing.
It's been less than half a day, and you've already investigated yourself thoroughly?
It’s terrifying when you think about it!
Having said that, this does not mean that Zhang Jiao is boastful or conceited.
But it is because he has absolute confidence that he can be qualified for the position of national teacher.
Create a new path and study the universe.
Zhang Jue is capable of taking on the role.
He originally thought that if he wanted to become the national teacher, he would have to work hard for several more years.
But I didn't expect that all this would happen so naturally.
Your Majesty, you are not only good at identifying people, but also brave enough to employ them!
Otherwise, General Cao would not have been appointed as the Minister of War.
There would not have been a big victory later.
This shows that Your Majesty is extremely decisive in employing people.
This is the symbol of an emperor of all ages.
"Since Your Majesty has treated me so well, I will dedicate myself to serving Your Majesty from now on."
For the first time, Zhang Jiao felt appreciated.
As a result, he developed a mentality of repaying the kindness given to him.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate at all and bowed deeply, saying, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will serve you wholeheartedly."
At this moment, he has already called himself a minister.
Ying Yuan sneered in his heart.
It is estimated that the Qin Dynasty will be in chaos.
You would jump out and rebel to form the Yellow Turban Army right away, right?
And I'm so willing to do such a good job...
Do you really think you are a loyal subject?
But to be honest, Ying Yuan was still looking forward to that scene.
......
The next morning.
Early morning.
Ying Yuan announced to all civil and military officials that Zhang Jiao would be appointed as the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Qin.
As soon as this news came out, all the ministers were surprised.
Zhang Jiao...
Who is it?
Never heard of it.
But judging from your Majesty's ability to judge people, this person must have extraordinary qualities and should not be underestimated!
Ying Yuan originally thought that all the civil and military officials in the court would strongly oppose this matter.
After all, conferring the title of National Master was such an important matter, but he did not discuss it with them, but instead acted arbitrarily. Moreover, the person who was conferred the title was an unknown person in the court.
There is no doubt that there will be opposition from the ministers.
But Ying Yuan never expected that the ministers not only did not oppose it, but agreed with it.
This made him extremely depressed.
Because he was ready to debate with his ministers.
Then a hat of autocracy falls.
What a great thing.
It’s a pity that the ministers are not strong enough.
......
After the court was dismissed.
Heshen summoned the other five ministers to the Ministry of Revenue.
He said to everyone earnestly, "Yesterday, Your Majesty came to my house in disguise and told me a lot.
You all still remember the five hundred thousand taels of silver we embezzled together, right? Your Majesty has already discovered it, and he has recently been investigating this money.
This money flowed out of the Ministry of Revenue, so I will definitely bear the brunt of any responsibility. But now, Your Majesty wants to recover this money.
Otherwise, not only will I lose my head, but neither will any of you."
Having said this, everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn.
After a moment, Li Linfu, the Minister of Personnel, said:
"Does Lord He want us to return the money in full? However, this matter also involves Prime Minister Cai and Prime Minister Qin. I wonder what they think?"
Heshen had not yet discussed this matter with them.
Mainly, he wanted to give priority to dealing with a few Shangshu.
As for the two people who are already standing on the top of the mountain, they can best see the general trend.
I guess they don't care about the money.
"Not only the five hundred thousand taels of silver, but also the silver that everyone has embezzled in the past two years. Whatever is left must be handed over. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I can't protect you gentlemen.
If you can't come up with that much silver right away, I have a suggestion. Aren't there many wealthy merchants in the city? Wouldn't it be easier to target them?
In short, we must work together to raise at least 500,000 taels of silver and then hand it over to Your Majesty."
After a pause, Heshen continued, "As for Prime Minister Cai and Prime Minister Qin, you don't need to worry about them. In short, I hope you will do your best. After all, this is a matter of life and death."
If it were in the past, he would most likely have been greedy for the money raised by everyone.
But after experiencing Ying Yuan's kindness and force yesterday, he didn't dare anymore.
Now I only think about making money for Ying Yuan, that's all.
He wanted to make use of his remaining energy as the Minister of Revenue.
......
That evening.
Heshen bribed Zhao Gao and disguised Zhen Ji as a palace maid, preparing to send her to Ying Yuan.
Before leaving, he repeatedly warned her, "Zhen Ji, your father's life and mine depend entirely on you.
