"In that case, Your Majesty, we will leave first."
He was still waiting to explain to his father what was going on...
As soon as they left, Zhuge Liang stood by and placed the memorial neatly on the table.
"Your Majesty, the problem has probably been solved. Now, our biggest concern should be the Nan family, the generals who guard the four corners."
"This Nan family is not easy to move."
Since it has come to this, let's calm down first. He also waved his hand and sent Zhuge Liang away.
The court was relatively quiet at the moment. The only unrest was the vague impeachment in the memorials.
These envoys must have learned their lesson now. They no longer criticize him in the court, but this time they use the memorial to the emperor to say that he is useless.
Can he tolerate this?
This group of people is really hard to describe...
I originally thought that those people were just following the evil mansion to squeeze me. But I didn't expect there was something else going on.
Some people use disasters to bring trouble upon themselves, while others use the collapse of their houses and bad luck in the new year to bring trouble upon themselves.
He found that these ministers like to bully others, right?
Since they were so talented and spoke so well, he directly sent a few eunuchs to pass on the message, asking these people who could speak well to be sent to various prefectures as traveling magistrates and county magistrates to help them deal with their busy business.
As happy as that group of people felt about impeaching the emperor, they now regretted impeaching the emperor together with the Cui family. After all, the places that group of people mentioned were all poor small areas. Going there would be seeking death and demotion.
And that’s not all. Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. I guess they won’t bring many people with them this time.
If they really encountered those bandits, wouldn't they be unable to return and would just die there?
Thus, his Purple Palace was packed with ministers, all with a faint sense of guilt on their faces.
Although it was not obvious to him, this group of ministers really knelt down in unison. The visual effect made Zhao Xin completely stunned.
"My dear ministers, what do you want?"
No one could match Zhao Xin's acting skills. Just looking at his grief-stricken expression, those who didn't know better would have thought someone else had secretly given them this order. But since the emperor was so distraught, perhaps their negotiations would improve significantly.
So they relied on the Cui family and felt fearless.
They didn't even think about who was slaughtered by Zhao Xin a few months ago and whose entire family was sent to the guillotine.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
"Then tell me what crime you have committed."
One of the ministers who spoke said this: I deserve to die and should not say such words. Now the country is peaceful and the people are at peace.
This means that you only tell him the good news and not the bad news, just to fool him.
Zhao Xin didn't say anything, and the ministers thought that something really worked, so they followed suit.
"Your Majesty, next time I will definitely report the peace and prosperity of the country!"
He was currently thinking about whether there was anyone who could temporarily or permanently replace them. If so, he would bring Zhuge Liang, Wang Xuan Ce, Yu Qian, and others to the court to replace them.
As for those who only report good news and not bad news, let them fend for themselves.
"Those who come here, replace them all and leave today!"
"Your Majesty, I was wrong...I was wrong!"
The Zichen store was filled with wailing, but Zhao Xin didn't care. He was happy when all the people were kicked out. Mr. Zhuge had also given him some good candidates a few days ago.
He was currently being trained in the Hanlin Academy. He wasn't afraid of the fact that half of the people in the academy were his own people.
One day he would have to clean up the mess or make them all obey him.
"A word I have spoken cannot be taken back. Do you want me to take back my promise?"
So the ministers accepted their fate. As soon as they left, he called the eunuch outside the door to come over.
"Bring the scroll here. I will draft an imperial edict and send it out."
"I admire you now, so don't do anything weird to me these next couple of days, or you should know my methods."
The young eunuch picked up the memorial tremblingly, then squatted beside him and ground the ink respectfully.
I've gotten used to drafting memorials so many times.
He was not used to having others do this kind of thing for him, so he practiced writing on his own. After writing it, he gave it to the young eunuch and asked him to send it out immediately.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
Zhao Xin sat on the dragon throne, the jingling objects blocking his view, and neither he nor the ministers in the court could see his expression. However, he was quite good at crying out for justice.
"Your Majesty, those people are all doing this for your own good!"
For his own good, they brought up a bunch of trivial matters like feather dusters to confront him. For his own good, they used the flood to impeach him and secretly mock him. Was this for his own good, or was it a slap in the face?
"If you can't say anything good, I'll let you go with them!"
The seemingly radical prime minister shut up. He kept his mouth shut, but the group of petty officials behind him, who knew whether they didn't understand what he was saying or what, also rushed to report it.
"Your Majesty, you know that our Great Qin has enjoyed peace and prosperity for generations, but your generation has been plagued by chaos. Your Majesty, please... please reconsider!"
Oh, think twice...
"Zhang Aiqing, tell me how to think twice."
Zhang Aiqing didn't expect the emperor to ask him the question. But since they were emperors and ministers, he couldn't help but answer. But if he offended this man, he would probably have to go to the Ministry of Punishment.
He looked back at Heshen, who was holding the token respectfully with a righteous look on his face, and felt that this guy might not be able to play any big role, so he turned around and looked at Cui Cen.
No one knew what Cui Cen was thinking about with his head down. He was so distracted that he probably didn't hear what the emperor was saying.
"Your Majesty, I think that while it's good to let us offer our opinions, your Majesty's opinion is more important. Prime Minister Cui is also the head of all officials, so I think he can take some advice."
"I second the motion—"
Zhao Xin had long been keeping an eye on Cui Cen, who seemed to be drifting off into the distance. He found it odd that he had been so absent-minded since the start of court, and hadn't even offered the usual accusations of impeachment.
Even Cui Cen, who had just been praised by Heshen, did not say anything sarcastic, but just mechanically followed everyone else and said something in agreement.
Has the Prime Minister changed his personality?
"I think so too. How about asking Prime Minister Cui to give us some advice?"
?
Cui Cen came to his senses and looked at all the ministers around him with a sudden expression. He was in a mess and didn't know what to say, but the crime of deceiving the emperor was a crime he could not bear.
Zhao Xin noticed that something was wrong with Cui Cen.
"Prime Minister Cui, His Majesty just asked you to give us some advice."
