Zhao Xin was tired of dealing with the imperial court, and he envied the straightforwardness of the martial artists. He found the scheming of some of the treacherous officials in the court annoying.
"How has Heshen been doing lately?"
Your Majesty believes in me. It is difficult to do good things, but it is easy to catch the bad things.
The more accounts are kept like this, the easier it is to just throw a random accusation at someone. Just two days ago, before Your Majesty said anything, we quietly looked through the account book. Just for Jingxi, let alone removing him from office, even two more years in jail would be enough.
The River God had seen through everything. Zhao Xin clearly despised the Cui family and was seeking to remove them from power. He was likely promoting him this time to accumulate wealth and show loyalty to the emperor. If he continued to make empty promises, he wouldn't stay for long. Although he had been a treacherous minister, he was no longer the same.
In this extremely poor age, being a treacherous official is only digging your own grave.
As expected of Heshen, he hadn't let him down. This time, Zhao Xin planned to let Heshen take full control. He was relieved.
As for the young lady, she was put aside for now because there were more important things to do.

How can there be any sense in the current clamor and bustle? The relatives outside are all from the aristocratic families of the Central Plains. They are all watching and caring about everything. They all have their noses raised to the sky.
It's clear he doesn't take it seriously, just look at the amount of military power he holds. He can't mobilize the troops he needs. Besides the Imperial Guards, the surrounding border troops are under their control. Now that the court affairs are under the control of that group, there's a constant worry as long as the Cui family isn't eliminated.

"What emperor? The emperor is just a fool, isn't he? Why are you so afraid, brother?"
Cui Cen certainly knew this. Zhao Xin was a fool. It was unclear where so many wise men came from, following such a fool.
A man like this even imprisoned his own mother. What kind of humanity can he have? What kind of humanity can he have towards the current Qin Dynasty?
Even if Cui Cen was unpopular, he was still a powerful prime minister. Even if Cui Lun was unpopular, he was still an imperial censor. Even if they made a fuss, the empress dowager had a close relationship with them. If they were kicked out easily, the consequences would depend on whether the young emperor could bear it.
Look, that's a clear threat. Those guys next to him are all generals. They all praise and curse the foolish emperor.
The emperor showed no fear at all, and spoke whatever he wanted to say in court every day without any restraint.
However, the forces the court was trying to win over were unevenly distributed. Some were loyal to him, some to the emperor, and some were neutral. He didn't dare act now. If he did, those neutrals might turn against the emperor. It was unimaginable.
Cui Cen also knew that the treasury had no money or food during the disaster relief efforts two days ago. He was also very clear about this, and he later made some moves to help the young emperor. But he didn't expect that the young emperor would actually bring people to his house to ask for food in public.
Cui Cen would just accept defeat. However, the road ahead for the imperial court was long, and who knew when the young emperor would be gone again. Even now, Bian Guang and others were colluding to rebel again. Furthermore, there were still traitorous ministers nearby. How long could he last if the rebels were not eliminated? As soon as he stepped down, he would be sure to kill him immediately.
The rebels were beaten to pieces.
Originally, Zhao Xin hadn't planned to let Bai Qi bring the two people back, but he didn't expect that Bai Qi would actually capture them this time.
They were two unfamiliar faces I had never seen before.
"Your Majesty, I have brought back two prisoners for you."
The captives here looked terrified. They didn't even look like they were going to rebel.
Later we found out that the group was just a bunch of rioters. There was indeed a leader among them but they dispersed halfway... Maybe they felt that the rebels were not professional enough, or that they did not have the momentum to scare the emperor?
So the God of Killer Bai Qi made such a trip and brought back a stunted gang.
Since it's like this, why not get some useful information from him?
"Since you said the leader left, do you know his name?"
That's a really impressive name, "God of War, God of War," who led his troops to subdue us all in three days. Your Majesty, you don't know that he even caught a fish from the river while fishing.
That fish was also strange. When their stomach was opened, there was a note inside with the words "Da Qin Xing, God of War King" written on it.
“…”
King Chen Sheng rose to power in the Great Chu.
When he read this novel before, he also thought the author was talented. He directly used tricks to make the Qin Dynasty change its leader. How could people believe this trick?
Maybe they are not human.
Perhaps Zhao Xin had underestimated their current level of belief in spirits and gods; he hadn't expected the two men's conversation to become increasingly mystical. They believed him wholeheartedly and even made him their king.
But one sentence caught his attention.
A few days ago, a woman appeared next to the immortal. The girl looked fierce and always quarreled with the immortal.
"I don't believe in immortals. Do you know what the consequences of rebellion are?"
The two men pretended to be confused.
In that case—
Oh.
"Take them to the Ministry of Punishment and give them a good beating."
As soon as these words came out, the two men's faces changed. They hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I will tell you everything you want to know."
"I don't really need you to do anything, just help me. Keep an eye on it so you can identify the rebels later."
The two people, each with their own mindset, nodded without giving it much thought. Perhaps they agreed.
But Zhao Xin was most annoyed by this behavior of his. Who are you? He holds the power of life and death in his hands. If he wants you to die, you must die. So Zhao Xin was also unhappy.
"Since you don't want to, then go and die. The two of you are not much more, but not too little either. You should know why my men didn't kill you."
As for why Bai Qi didn't kill him, they also understood.
I guess he was tired of being told that he killed people every day without showing any mercy, so he showed some mercy this time and left two for him.
Good god, if we keep people like this, we might as well kill them all. Having them around him will only affect his mentality and make him upset.
Bai Qi, next time you meet someone like this, just kill him directly without asking me to interfere.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, the two of them became even more panicked.
"Your Majesty, I dare not have any second thoughts!"
I don't know whether he is really convinced or just pretending to be convinced. Okay, let's take them to jail.
"Your Majesty, I already said I'm assisting you, why do you still need to..."
"You were going to convict me. Why are you dissatisfied with my decision?"
…
Even if I'm really dissatisfied right now, I can't say it in front of this tyrant...
So the two men went to jail.
The group of evil people seemed to be unable to wait any longer and repeatedly came to the palace to chase him with the tokens he gave them.
