Everyone's hair stood on end.
These people, can they be killed just like that?
These are all ministers of the second and third ranks.
Kuang Kuanren is still the Shangshu!
Just die like that?
Doesn’t the emperor favor Zhao Lin too much?
Zhao Lin looked coldly at the ministers who were still kneeling. "My Lords, each of you must pay 500,000 taels by this time tomorrow. Otherwise, I will bring my men to each household to collect the money."
“You, you…”
Someone pointed at Zhao Lin, his hands shaking with anger.
Zhao Lin snorted coldly: "Is this lord planning to disobey the order and refuse to hand it over?"
The minister threatened by Zhao Lin said angrily: "I will go back and sell my house and land right away, and I won't lose a penny."
He bowed to Emperor Chengping and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will take my leave."
After saying that, he ran away.
You have to run.
Now seeing how crazy the emperor is, if anyone says something provocative again, he will really order them all to be beheaded. Who can we cry to?
Although the power of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu was lost, as long as Emperor Chengping was still alive, he was still the emperor. His words were imperial decrees, and no one dared to disobey.
The morning court ended in such a ridiculous way.
Some ministers surrounded Zhao Lin.
"Congratulations, Lord Zhao, the youngest cabinet minister in our dynasty."
"Young Lord, congratulations!"
"Two elders in one family, how envious."
"When Wen Qi joins the cabinet, we'll have three cabinet ministers in our family..."
These people praised it.
They are all good friends of Fu Chengwang and Li Xingye.
The stronger Zhao Lin becomes, the more they benefit.
The name of the Little Cabinet Minister soon spread throughout the capital.
"What? Zhao Lin joined the cabinet? And he's even called the Junior Cabinet Minister?"
In the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, Zhao Chenhan, who had quietly returned, was shocked.
He doesn't hold any official position now, but Zhao Lin has already entered the cabinet. This gap makes him furious and almost burns his head.
Han Yuehua also said angrily: "Is the emperor crazy? Not only did he not punish him, but he also promoted him?"
"Because he gave the Emperor two hundred thousand taels of gold, ten million taels of silver, and countless other treasures."
Zhao Jingzhou quickly learned the information and said.
"So many?" Zhao Chenhan was so shocked that he twisted his body: "These were all stolen from us!"
In Zhao Chenhan's heart, these all belong to him.
"Don't worry about those things for now. If he becomes a cabinet minister, won't it make Han'er even more embarrassed?" Han Yuehua said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. He can't do it for a few days." Zhao Jingzhou said.
"Why?" Han Yuehua was puzzled.
Zhao Jingzhou said: "You don't need to know, you just need to know that Zhao Lin will not be in office for many days."
Seeing Zhao Jingzhou so confident, Zhao Chenhan did not ask any further questions. Instead, after separating from Zhao Jingzhou and the others, he quietly found Zhou Shian.
"What do you think Zhao Jingzhou means?" Zhao Chenhan asked.
Zhou Shian thought about it for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "No way?"
"What don't you know? Tell me quickly." Zhao Chenhan urged.
