When the dust settled on the final candidates, Zhao Ji discovered that the emperor still placed people recommended by the prime minister and others in the Ministry of Revenue.

However, the Ministry of Personnel used people recommended by Zhao Ji.

Although this result was not the best one Zhao Ji wanted, it was not bad either.

After all, the other department is in charge of the function of examining and reporting on all officials.

If the new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is still a greedy person, Zhao Ji believes that the Minister of Personnel he promoted will definitely make a fair report.

So Zhao Ji was not unhappy at all. Instead, he looked at the prime minister with great interest. The prime minister did not expect that the emperor would only use the person recommended by him.

It is still placed in the Ministry of Revenue, not in the Ministry of Personnel.

Of course, the prime minister also understood the role of the Ministry of Personnel in checking and balancing all officials.

Admiring the Prime Minister's wonderful expression, Zhao Ji thought with interest: "Now the chess pieces that the Prime Minister has planted in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue can be pulled out!"

Ever since the two newly appointed ministers have been busy with their new duties, the emperor feels that the court has become much quieter recently.

At least some officials have restrained themselves a lot, for fear that they will run into the two ministers and become the monkeys they use to make an example of.

At this time, Zhao Ji went to the palace to visit Tian Zhao and others who had followed him to Hua'an County but were attacked on their way back to the city.

At that time, Tian Zhao was unconscious and seriously injured, and the emperor also knew that these people were injured while escorting corrupt officials back to Beijing.

These people were specially allowed to recuperate in the palace, and imperial doctors were sent to look after them.

When Zhao Ji and the emperor went on a secret visit, Tian Zhao was still seriously ill and had not yet woken up.

After Zhao Ji came back, he heard that Tian Zhao's condition had improved and he was now conscious.

After all, Tian Zhao suffered such serious injuries because of Zhao Ji.

When Zhao Ji learned that Tian Zhao was getting better, he rushed over immediately.

Tian Zhao, although he is awake now, his life was snatched back from the hands of the King of Hell after all, so he needs to rest for at least ten days to half a month.

And those brothers who are seriously ill also need recuperation.

It wouldn't make sense to stay in the palace all the time, after all, the person is awake.

Zhao Ji then began to arrange to bring the people to his own courtyard in Kyoto.

Speaking of which, Zhao Ji’s mansion in Kyoto was a reward from the emperor.

The house bestowed by the emperor was fully equipped, even with a housekeeper.

When Tian Zhao was carried in, his face flushed red, and he kept saying, "I have troubled the Master Seal for a long time. I have been in bed in the palace for more than a month thanks to the favor of the emperor. It would be a shame to bother the Master Seal again now!"

"My brothers and I can just go home and recuperate. There's no need to go to the Zhao residence!"

Zhao Ji comforted Tian Zhao and said with a hearty smile: "Master Tian, ​​why are you being so polite to me? Besides, I have already told the emperor about the situation. You all hide back in your own homes, and Taiyi will have to run to different places again and again!"

"Why not rest well in my mansion? The imperial physician only needs to make this trip every day. It's much easier!"

Tian Zhao naturally knew that he had owed Zhao Ji a great favor, and he waved his hands repeatedly, at a loss as to what to do.

Zhao Ji also knew that Tian Zhao and his trusted soldiers had the same temperament and were straightforward.

In order to make Tian Zhao stay in the Zhao Mansion with peace of mind, Zhao Ji thought of an excuse.

"Sir Tian, ​​I'm not asking you to stay here for free. This mansion was newly granted by the Emperor. Although I have a housekeeper, I haven't recruited guards yet. Currently, I only have about ten people."

"These ten or so guards only know some basic kung fu. Although Lord Tian is recuperating, he can help me guide these guards from time to time and teach them some real skills!"

At this point, Zhao Ji smiled again: "I also have my own selfish motives. I want a powerful person like Deputy General Tian to guide the guards in my mansion. Please don't refuse, Deputy General Tian!"

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Tian and the other soldiers under his command stopped talking.

He just secretly made up his mind to help Zhao Ji train a team of elite guards.

Now that Tian Zhao and the others have woken up, it stands to reason that in a situation like this in the capital, someone should have sent a visiting card to visit Deputy General Tian and the others.

As a result, the Zhao Mansion was quiet during this period, as if no one lived there.

Zhao Ji didn't care about this matter at first, until the housekeeper in the mansion brought it up.

He secretly asked Zhao Ji whether Deputy General Tian had any colleagues in the court.

Zhao Ji then remembered Deputy General Tian, ​​who he had borrowed from the military camp.

He also recalled how Lieutenant General Tian was ostracized everywhere in the military camp.

Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the housekeeper: "It's okay. Since Deputy General Tian and his men just need to rest, you don't have to accept any invitations sent to your door in the future. Just reject them directly!"

The morning court sessions these days were calm, but one day Zhao Ji suddenly stepped forward and said he had something to report.

The ministers were originally drowsy, but when they heard that Zhao Ji had something to report again, they suddenly became alert.

Although Zhao Ji had only been the seal holder for a short time, every word he said at the morning court could bring about bloodshed.

There were many people in the court who regarded Zhao Ji as a thorn in their side.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the recent time when the emperor issued an ultimatum, asking the officials who bribed the officials to donate their gold, silver and treasures to Zhao Ji.

Many officials still remember the painful feeling.

In particular, they took advantage of the dark night and high wind to send servants from the mansion to deliver silver to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji ordered people to light the lights and count the silver slowly and methodically.

As a result, the adults who were waiting for a reply in the mansion did not see the servant return for a long time.

Everyone was like an ant on a hot pan. They couldn't even sleep or drink water steadily.

The timid ones were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They finally waited for the servants to come back and questioned them carefully. When they found that there was nothing wrong, they suddenly relaxed and even fell ill.

The busiest people at the time were the imperial physicians in the palace. All the ministers suffered from headaches and foot pains, as well as invasions of wind evil. The imperial physicians had to rush around treating one and then another.

Some ministers are not in good health now.

Then, when they heard that Zhao Ji had something to report, how could these ministers not be terrified?

"If you have something to say, please speak up!"

The emperor had a completely different mentality from these ministers.

When the emperor was ill before, the national treasury was very empty. Now, after Zhao Ji's efforts, not only has the national treasury been filled a lot, but even the ministers who were previously difficult to control have become much more docile.

Even the prime minister, who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, is no longer as arrogant as before.

Although the emperor had promoted Zhao Ji to power from the beginning, he had the intention of suppressing the prime minister.

But now it's really worth it.
