Nan Cang was really wrong this time.
In fact, this late-night emergency call was not Liu Muzhi's idea.
Although Zhao Xin cannot be called a master of political strategy, he did travel back in time from the era of information explosion. Apart from anything else, the number of history books and novels he has read is probably unmatched by anyone in the world.
Not to mention those palace fighting dramas that are everywhere.
Besides, he was a capitalist in his previous life after all... He had employees under him and had some exposure to workplace struggles.
So he is not completely ignorant of these things.
In addition, he has been in this world for some time, and after repeated battles of wits and courage, it is impossible for him not to have grown at all.
So, when the Jinyiwei brought him the news of the defeat on the front line, he didn't care at first, because this had already happened in the original plot, and to him it was just a replay of the plot.
At most, one can only sigh at the inertia of history. Although this little butterfly has flapped its wings many times, the overall situation has not changed.
But then a light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly realized something. Although it was not clear, he realized that he might be able to show his presence at this time.
"Showing your presence?"
When Liu Muzhi arrived, his edict had already been announced.
After hearing this, Liu Muzhi was stunned at first, but then his eyes lit up and he exclaimed "brilliant".
But after hearing Zhao Xin's explanation of his motives, he was speechless.
After thinking about it carefully, I found that Zhao Xin's positioning and description were very accurate.
And it's not childish at all, let alone ridiculous.
Zhao Xin saw Liu Muzhi's strange expression, as if he was trying hard to suppress muscle twitching, and felt a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Muzhi laughed at me, but I also know that this kind of trick is not very useful.
But today, all I can do is this kind of fancy moves."
After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Although he has been very active during this period, he has achieved some results so far.
But he is still a puppet after all, and his power cannot leave the Forbidden City.
This Rebellion of the Seven Kings should have been a great opportunity, but unfortunately, he had too few chips in his hand.
Even if the snipe and the clam fight each other, he will not be able to gain the upper hand.
All I can do is play some tricks and show my presence.
"Your Majesty, this is wrong."
When Liu Muzhi heard Zhao Xin's words, he instantly became solemn and said seriously, "Your Majesty's move is no mere trifling skill; it can even be described as a shrewd act, a simple trick.
Honestly, even I couldn’t have reacted so appropriately and promptly.”
"Well……"
Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that his action, which was just to show off his presence, would be highly praised by Liu Muzhi.
"Well... Mu Zhi, aren't you a little... ahem, too much?"
If he didn't know Liu Muzhi's personality, he would have thought that Liu Muzhi was flattering him.
Yu Huatian, who was standing aside, seemed to understand something after a while of contemplation, but as a eunuch attendant, he consciously kept his mouth shut. Zhao Xin did not ask questions actively, and he would never comment on the government affairs. This was the basic quality of an attendant.
Liu Muzhi chuckled and shook his head, "Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely correct."
He paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. As a leader, when the country encounters a major event, what you need to do is not to come up with any strategies or solutions, but to be able to provide timely feedback and let everyone know who is the head of the snake.
Now that the South has been defeated, all parties in the capital must have received the news, and Your Majesty was the first to respond when no one else did. As long as the court officials come here today in response to the imperial edict, any achievements made later will be rewarded, no matter who is in charge.
Whether you are the Prime Minister or the Grand Marshal, the final victory was achieved under your Majesty's leadership, and your Majesty's name will be remembered in history books."
When Zhao Xin heard this, he suddenly realized something and nodded slightly.
I only had some vague ideas before, but now they are suddenly clear.
"I see."
This principle is actually not difficult to understand. Zhao Xin saw and heard quite a few things in his previous life. For example, among the many so-called wise and benevolent rulers in history, except for a limited few, how many of them really had any outstanding achievements?
Many of them were simply events that happened to occur in his time.
But no matter whether it is a coincidence or the credit of others, as long as the king gives feedback, then this achievement is his leadership achievement.
"What if they don't obey the order?"
Li Cunxiao's eyes were wide open, as if he was listening very carefully, but his gaze was obviously a little scattered, and it was obvious that he did not fully understand.
However, in response to his question, Liu Muzhi just smiled slightly and said without question: "They dare not!"
Zhao Xin also smiled slightly.
Not obeying the imperial edict, haha...
Under normal circumstances, those court officials might dare to disobey the imperial edict, or even claim to be sick, but at this moment, Zhao Xin actually hoped to have such a tough guy, so that he could make his presence felt again.
This is wartime and the country is in crisis. If you don't obey the order at this time, do you not want to serve the country?
Well, you don’t have to come, and you don’t have to come forever.
Unfortunately, there may be fools in the Qin Dynasty, but those who are this stupid are probably dead long ago.
When the ministers entered the Qinzheng Hall under the guidance of the Yellow Gate Official, Zhao Xin sat upright on the throne. He glanced around and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Actually, all the ministers who were supposed to come had already arrived.
Alas, I can’t make my presence felt anymore.
Although he felt regretful in his heart, he looked calm. He quietly watched the court officials pay their respects, and Zhao Xin's face remained calm.
But seeing that the guys in the front row just bowed slightly and frowned slightly, they didn't care too much.
The Qin Dynasty still retained a certain degree of respect for court officials in its system. Even in the court, the three dukes and nine ministers did not have to perform the ritual of kneeling and bowing, and it was normal to sit and discuss with the emperor on some occasions.
It’s not that Cui Cen and others are domineering and arrogant.
Moreover, as a time traveler, Zhao Xin doesn't care much about these formalistic things.
After everyone finished their greetings, he waved his hand slightly and said, "No need to formalize, everyone. This is not the Purple Palace, nor is it the morning court. No need to be formal."
After that, he ordered the eunuch beside him: "Make room for the nobles!"
The eunuchs and palace maids were well prepared, and soon someone brought in an embroidered cushion and invited the ministers to sit down.
However, Zhao Xin glanced around casually and found that most of the court officials present were still maintaining the minimum code of conduct as subjects and had not taken any real action.
However, there are exceptions. The first one is Cui Cen and Nan Cang. Although these two are not very tall and strong, they can sit firmly.
In addition, there were also some ministers who sat upright, and some even glanced at those court officials who did not take their seats, with a look of ridicule in their eyes.
