Chapter 14830 Method
Just as Liu De's son was about to speak, he heard a weak voice saying, "Yier, there is no need to say anything. If the king wants me to die, I have to die. If Your Majesty wants me to go to the palace, I will definitely go to the palace. Someone, change my clothes for me." Someone responded immediately, and then several maids came in and began to change clothes for Liu De.

Liu De still looked like he was dying. After finally changing his clothes, Liu De got on the hovercraft with the help of two members of the Liu family and drove straight to the palace. Sheng Si asked a few ghost guards to follow Liu De, and he went to the next house.

By the time all the ministers finally arrived at the hall, it was already afternoon. When Zuoqiu Zheng arrived at the hall, his face darkened as soon as he saw the situation inside. The hall was full of people who looked very sick. They all collapsed on the ground, and some had even fainted. Although Zuoqiu Zheng knew that these people were all pretending, he had no choice. These guys were all masters, and it was too easy for them to pretend to be sick.

Zuoqiu was looking at the people in the hall. He snorted coldly and said, "My dear ministers, since you are already this ill, I can no longer allow you to come to court. Let's adjourn the court today." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, but his face was ashen.

Soon, the ministers were sent back home, but Zuo Qiuzheng went to his study. He smashed everything in the study, then changed to another room and called Jia Yu and the others over. When Jia Yu and the others arrived, Zuo Qiuzheng looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think about what happened today?"

Jia Yu said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this is just the beginning. If they really use illness as an excuse to stop working, then all departments will be shut down, which is a very scary thing. This means that your Majesty's connection with the planets is almost cut off. So in my opinion, it is still the most important thing to ease the relationship with the various families."

Zuo Qiu Zheng's face was still ugly. He had thought that coming to Zhang Ruyi's house would make all the other families behave themselves. But now looking at this situation, he knew that he was still too naive. If those people all stopped going to court and taking turns, then in the Star Empire, there would be countless things that no one would deal with, and he, the emperor, could only stay in the palace and could not do anything. This was too terrible. It was equivalent to him being artificially isolated.

Thinking of this, Zuoqiu Zheng's face became even uglier. He said in a deep voice: "Then in your opinion, how can we ease the relationship with them?" Zuoqiu Zheng really didn't want to bow his head, but now he had no choice but to bow his head.

Jia Yu said, "Reward them, and it must be a generous reward. It would be best if they could be given a hereditary title. If they could also be given a fiefdom, they would definitely come to court immediately."

"No, absolutely not." As soon as Jia Yu finished speaking, Zuo Qiuzheng immediately objected. He would never give those people any hereditary titles, let alone fiefdoms. If that were the case, wouldn't it be like giving them a country within a country? That was absolutely not possible.

Jia Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we must now use a heavy reward to make these people come back to court obediently."

Zuo Qiuzheng turned his head and looked at the others, then he said in a deep voice: "Someone, go and call Sheng Si." Fu Sheng responded, then he turned and left. After a while he led Sheng Si into the room, and Sheng Si immediately saluted Zuo Qiuzheng.

Zuo Qiuzheng said in a deep voice: "Stand up and take a seat." Fu Sheng immediately brought a chair to Sheng Si. After Sheng Si sat down, Zuo Qiuzheng said: "Sheng Si, you have seen what happened today. Those ministers are against me. They didn't attend the court because they were sick. Now I can't do anything about them. Do you have any solution?"

Sheng Si glanced at Zuo Qiuzheng, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't understand these things. I only know how to kill people. In my opinion, the reason why they dare not come to court is nothing more than Your Majesty has killed fewer people. If Your Majesty kills more people, they will really be afraid. In that case, they will not dare to resist Your Majesty anymore."

As soon as Sheng Si said this, Jia Yu and the others couldn't help but gasp. Then Jia Yu immediately said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this. You have killed enough people now. If you kill more people, you will probably be called a traitor. Your Majesty, you must not do this."

Zuo Qiuzheng, however, was thinking about Sheng Si's words with a gloomy face. Sheng Si said in a deep voice: "The official book is written by the victor. If Your Majesty can clean up all the big families while in office, no one will dare to say that Your Majesty is a king like Jie and Zhou. Future generations will only say that Your Majesty is the lord of the revival of our Star Empire. Moreover, this is not the ancient times. The reason why those ministers in ancient times dared to threaten the emperor was because there were few scholars at that time, and those scholars were very united. Without those scholars, it would be difficult for the emperor to govern the country well. But now everyone in our Star Empire has received higher education, and each planet even has its own set of government officials. As long as Your Majesty directly summons the personnel from various planets to the capital planet, the work of various departments can be restored in a short time. At that time, it will be the same with or without them."

Zuo Qiuzheng's eyes lit up when he heard what Sheng Si said, and then he said, "If they are not on duty all the time, we can try this method. Aren't they too sick to work? Well, let's give their positions to other people. I have always wanted to call back all the people who were sent out by my father to the empire. Isn't this the opportunity? But I have to wait a few more days. I want to see if they will not even be on duty. If they are not even on duty, then there is no point in keeping them, so just let them go directly to the empire. . "When Jia Yu and the others heard what Zuo Qiuzheng said, they really didn't know what to say for a moment. Just like Sheng Si said, now is different from before. In the past, those scholars banded together. If you didn't want to be an official, he wouldn't want to be an official either. Everyone would strike up a disturbance together. The emperor had no choice but to compromise with those officials. But now, almost everyone has been to school, and there are even more officials. If you don't want to be an official, he still wants to be one. Maybe he has been unhappy with you occupying this position for a long time. Now you occupy this position but don't work, then you'd better go home.

Jia Yu and the others wanted to persuade them again, but when they thought of what Sheng Si said about killing people, they swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongues. Although Zuo Qiu Zheng's method was still not feasible, it was already a relatively gentle method.

When Zuoqiu Zheng saw that Jia Yu and the others stopped talking, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, my dear ministers, you can all leave as well." Everyone responded and then left.

When only Zuoqiu Zheng and Fu Sheng were left in the room, Zuoqiu Zheng spoke up, "This Sheng Si really has a strong desire to kill people. He really only knows how to kill people." He stood up, walked to the window, looked outside, and then murmured, "I know this method is not feasible and there will be many difficulties, but compared to giving those people a hereditary title and fiefdom, this is the best way. Next, it depends on what the people of each family will do."

Zuoqiu Zheng really didn't expect that the people from various families would actually use this trick, but now he is ready to confront the people from various families head-on.

On the other hand, people from each family continued to pretend to be sick after returning home. They had already made up their mind that they would pretend to be sick and would not go to court or handle official business. They wanted to see what Zuoqiu Zheng would do. They did not believe that Zuoqiu Zheng would not give in this time.

So the next day those people really did not report for duty, and Zuo Qiuzheng was really trapped in the palace. He did not see a single memorial for the whole day, and his face became gloomy. Of course, he did not go to reward those officials.

Those officials were also waiting for Zuoqiu Zheng to give in. They didn't believe that Zuoqiu Zheng would really dare to continue to maintain the stalemate, so they continued to pretend to be sick.

Three days passed in a row, and Zuoqiu Zhengyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in the palace, but the people from the various families still did not come to work. Zuoqiu Zhengyi thought for a while, and then he said: "Fusheng, you go to each family in person to check, and tell them that I am concerned about their health and ask them when they can come to work. This is the last chance I give them."

Fu Sheng responded, and then he personally took people to visit the homes of the various families, to see their conditions and ask them when they could go on duty. Of course, the people from the various families would not give any clear answers, and each of them still looked as if they were sick and about to die.

Fu Sheng knew that these people were not prepared to compromise, so he went back to the palace and reported the situation to Zuo Qiuzheng. Zuo Qiuzheng snorted coldly, then said in a deep voice: "Shame on you, Fu Sheng! Arrange people immediately to take my imperial edict to the planets where the officials are released, order them to come to the capital planet as soon as possible, and let them take the teleportation array to take over the work of each department. If they don't have enough manpower, let them select a group of people from their planets and bring them here. I want the court to resume operation as soon as possible."

Fu Sheng responded, and then he immediately went to make arrangements. Suddenly, the teleportation array in the imperial palace became busy, and eunuchs who delivered imperial edicts were sent out one after another. They went directly to the planets where the officials of the outer banner where Zuo Qiuwen was located.

An eunuch also came to Bona Star. After arriving in Bona Star, he went directly to the Amir family and then went to see Akhan. The people of the Amir family immediately reported the news to Akhan. Akhan had actually been waiting for this day for a long time. Sheng Si had told them about this matter before and told them to be prepared. This time, they might get a big bargain.

Yakhan came out immediately to receive the imperial edict. Sure enough, the imperial edict asked them to return to the capital star immediately, and directly appointed him as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, in charge of the Secretariat. This position was too great, and he instantly became a big shot in the court. You must know that the Secretariat is the department responsible for formulating national policies, which is very important. Being able to enter the Secretariat is almost equivalent to being a big shot in the court, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a prime minister. Yakhan can now also be called the prime minister.
