Volume 1 Chapter 42: Each Leads the Way
You should know that the Minister of Works is responsible for the engineering construction of the entire Da Ri Dynasty.
Whether it is civilian or military, Jin Dazhao may have sent the information of the military distribution and troop distribution of the entire Dainichi Dynasty to the Mahayana Kingdom.
Now we have gone to war with a sand barbarian tribe, and the capital city is short of troops. If a large number of troops from the Mahayana Kingdom come here to attack, the Great Sun Dynasty will definitely be unable to resist.
If the Black Witch Kingdom interferes again, the Great Sun Dynasty will definitely be destroyed!
Thinking of this, Xiang Yun broke out in a cold sweat and immediately ordered: "Capture Jin Dazhao for me!"
Four or five imperial guards rushed forward with knives in hand. Jin Dazhao roared angrily and knocked them to the ground with just three punches and two kicks. One of them even had his neck strangled and died on the spot.
Jin Dazhao laughed wildly and shouted, "You think you can take me down with these idiots? It's just a foolish dream!"
Then, Jin Dazhao set his sights on Xiang Yun and sneered, "Little Emperor, remember this: the person who killed you today is Jin Dazhao, the imperial master of the Mahayana Kingdom! When you get down there, go and cry!"
After Jin Dazhao finished speaking, he jumped into the air, leaping three meters high, using his hands as claws and rushing straight towards the clouds!
Xuanyuan Dabing, who was standing next to Xiang Yun, saw this and immediately blocked in front of Xiang Yun, shouting, "You bold lunatic, how dare you sneak attack His Majesty? Do you think that I, the guard with the golden sword, don't exist? I will kill you!"
Xuanyuan Dabing's tall and burly figure blocked in front of him. Xiang Yun felt a sense of security in an instant and immediately shouted, "Master, I think you are trying to kill yourself. Dabing, come on!"
Xuanyuan Dabing roared angrily and punched Jin Dazhao's claw, with both of them having equal power.
Xuanyuan Dabing immediately retracted his fist and used his burly body to charge towards Jin Dazhao, knocking him three meters away.
Jin Dazhao steadied his body and rushed forward again with a grim face. The two men soon started fighting, with fists and feet swinging at such a fast speed that the imperial guards around them could not even intervene.
The fight lasted for more than a minute. Xiang Yun could not bear it any longer, so he pulled out a big knife from the Imperial Guards nearby and shouted at Xuanyuan Dabing: "Bring him over here, and let me chop him off with one blow!"
Xuanyuan Dabing interrupted and replied. Not long after, a figure flew over, holding a big knife and preparing to chop Xiang Yun, but Xuanyuan Dabing quickly shouted, "Your Majesty, stop, it's us!"
Xiang Yun said sarcastically with a dark face: "I saw it, you are a master, but you can't even deal with an old man!"
Jin Dazhao, who was far away, was unhappy when he heard this and shouted, "You old man? You are really ignorant and fearless. My skills can be ranked among the top five even in the martial arts world. The war god of Mahayana Baoguo is talking about me!
"Little Emperor, your personal bodyguard has a good physique and is a good material for martial arts training, but he is still too young to deal with me. No one can save you today!"
Xiang Yun frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this old guy had such a powerful background.
Just when Xiang Yun was worried, Xuanyuan Dabing yelled angrily: "Let the bull in the sky come down and rest for a while. If I hadn't married a wife these days and was tired, and hadn't eaten breakfast today, I would be a little exhausted. Otherwise, it would be like a piece of cake to beat you!"
Jin Dazhao's face turned pale with anger after hearing these words. Xiang Yun was also amused by this. He slapped his forehead and shouted, "Alright! You failed me at the critical moment. Go up and beat me again!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Dabing mustered up his courage, roared, and rushed forward again, looking extremely ferocious.
Jin Dazhao also snorted coldly and continued to fight with Xuanyuan Dabing. In fact, he was very depressed. He thought that it would be easy to take the little emperor's head at such a close distance, but he didn't expect to meet a master.
Now I can neither advance nor retreat. When more and more Royal Guards surround me, it will be difficult for me to leave.
The most important thing for masters to avoid in a duel is distraction. For some reason, Xuanyuan Dabing fought more and more fiercely. Jin Dazhao was distracted and thought about other things, which immediately revealed his flaw. He was hit in the face by Xuanyuan Dabing's punch, and he immediately spat out blood and lost two teeth.
Jin Dazhao was unable to breathe for a moment, and Xuanyuan Dabing took advantage of the situation and attacked him, breaking both of Jin Dazhao's arms with left and right punches.
"ah!"
Jin Dazhao screamed in pain and was kicked several times in the chest by Xuanyuan Dabing. Then Xuanyuan Dabing lifted him up and drew out his sword.
Jin Dazhao showed fear in the air, but there was nothing he could do as he had lost the strength to resist.
I really underestimated my enemy. I didn't expect that this inconspicuous ruffian would have such terrifying power.
The next moment, a big knife pierced through his chest, and Xuanyuan Dabing pulled out the big knife again.
The scarlet blood splattered on the dragon throne, making the five-clawed golden dragon more lifelike, as if it had life, more breathtaking and majestic.
There was total silence in the Golden Palace. The ministers headed by Jia Yuan were disheartened. If the memorials submitted by Sun Shang before were without basis, then Jin Dazhao's rebellion would directly label all of them as traitors to the enemy, a charge that they could never clear themselves of no matter what.
Xiang Yun ordered coldly: "Throw all of them into the Heavenly Prison, and punish all of their clans, and execute them in the autumn!"
At the same time, the entire capital city was blocked by the Imperial Guards, with only entry allowed but no exit.
As soon as the imperial edict to arrest Jia Yuan and others came out, all the royal guards in the capital took action at the first opportunity. They arrested these criminal ministers, all their family members, relatives and other people listed in the nine clans, and put them in prison. All their properties were also sealed up.
Long before today's morning court session, Sun Shang had already met with Xiang Yun.
So no matter what happened at the morning court today, the fate of these ministers was already determined.
Even outside the capital, in various parts of the dynasty, all those who were implicated were taken under control by the military.
These ministers were forced out of the Golden Palace by the Imperial Guards, and even Jin Dazhao's body was carried out.
At this time, the Minister of Rites Liu Xingjian risked his life to step forward, kneeled on the bloodstains in the Golden Palace, and shouted: "Your Majesty, these ministers cannot be arrested. If they are gone, the entire Great Sun Dynasty will fall into chaos. By then, the dynasty will be gone and the world will be in chaos..."
"These parasites of the dynasty should have died long ago. If they were not caught, we wouldn't have been able to catch a Mahayana imperial master today!
If we really leave these people alone, there will be chaos in the world!"
Xiang Yun ignored Liu Xingjian and looked at the thirty-eight scholars, laughing softly, "Every generation has talented people, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years!
Everyone, I have returned justice to you. Now are you willing to serve me and help me govern the world, so that it will be prosperous and peaceful?"
Zhu Qiyu actually took the lead and said loudly: "Your Majesty's arrest today has definitely caught all the evil tendencies of the entire Great Sun Dynasty;
The dynasty has such a wise and wise ruler, and we are just scholars, how can we not be happy! "
Afterwards, Zhu Qiyu turned to face the other scholars and said loudly: "My fellow scholars, every generation has its own talents, and each has been the leader for hundreds of years. Your Majesty thinks highly of us, so how can we live up to your kindness?"
These people were already extremely excited. They had originally failed the exam and had no hope of becoming an official in this life, but they did not expect to have this opportunity. How could they not cherish it?
Moreover, the people whom the emperor just beheaded were all the cancer of the Great Sun Dynasty, which allowed these people to see hope in the court!
Without waiting for Zhu Qiyu to say anything, everyone knelt down in front of Xiang Yun and said loudly: "We are willing to serve your majesty at our utmost."
Liu Yiyi was the same. She looked at Xiang Yun with admiration. She thought Xiang Yun was so handsome today. She loved him to death. Her heart was completely captured at this moment.
Zhu Qiyu also knelt down quickly: "I, Zhu Qiyu, am willing to serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul, until my death!"
Xiang Yun nodded with great satisfaction, sat back on the dragon throne, and said loudly: "In fact, I have known each of you. You are the real pillars of the Great Sun Dynasty! Listen to my command."
After Xiang Yun finished speaking, Xiao Guazi quickly took out a long-prepared imperial edict and read it aloud: "In compliance with the will of heaven, the emperor decrees that the court officials are the foundation of the court and need to be filled by capable people.
You have passed the imperial examination and demonstrated your literary talent, which makes me very happy. I hereby appoint Zhu Qiyu as the Minister of the Secretariat and concurrently the Left Prime Minister.
Wang Shu was appointed as the Left Prime Minister of the Shangshu Province and concurrently the Right Prime Minister;
Liu Yiyi was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and concurrently the Prime Minister;
Conferred Wan Hou the title of Minister of Revenue;
Luan Caisi was appointed as the Minister of Personnel;
Gao Yuanshan was appointed Minister of Works...
I hope you will work diligently for the country and the people, warn yourself, be honest and incorruptible, and not let down my high hopes. "
Xiang Yun appointed officials to positions among all thirty-eight people, and they were all high-ranking officials of the fourth rank or above.
He wants to go crazy and use young people and fresh blood to stimulate the entire Great Sun Dynasty. Xiang Yun wants to see what this dynasty will become under the leadership of these young people. Will it collapse or enter a completely prosperous era? He will wait and see!
All the thirty-eight scholars were extremely excited without exception. This was a great event that brought honor to their ancestors, especially the women. Now they were actually becoming officials, and their official positions were not small. From now on, their fate would be completely rewritten!
The most excited ones were Zhu Qiyu, Wang Shu and Liu Yiyi, the highest officials of the three provinces. What kind of concept was this? They were second to none in the entire Great Sun Dynasty, and sometimes even had more power than the emperor!
The position of prime minister is even more important, as it is a position that can assist the emperor in handling state affairs!
Even many things only need them to handle them and just let His Majesty sign and stamp them.
This is too much power!
It was so big that it suffocated the three of them!
At this time, Xiang Yun spoke: "From today on, the court will establish the left, center, and right prime ministers. All matters of the three provinces and six ministries will be discussed and handled by the three prime ministers. After they agree and stamp their seal, they will be handed over to me for disposal."
"We obey your orders!" All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down in response.
Xiang Yun was handing over power, and the imperial power that he had finally recovered was redistributed to the ministers.
