This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 76 Appointment, Arbitrary

"I am enthroned now, and the year name is 'Shenwu'. This is the first year of Shenwu."

Xia Ao opened his mouth in a low voice, every word seemed to contain the heavenly constitution in his mouth, and it was heard in the ears of the officials, like the sound of a fairy bell, piercing through the mind.

"Shenwu has been established, let the whole world celebrate with amnesty!"

"I will pass on my decree. From now on, except for the death penalty, those with light sentences will be pardoned and released, and those with heavy sentences will have their sentences halved, and will be rewarded with meat for three days. Government offices in all places should follow the order, and there must be no mistakes!"

"According to the order!"

No one objected to Xia Ao's first decree of amnesty to the world, because it was a common practice, and it was to promote the new emperor's kindness and win the support of public opinion.

Someone wanted to intercede for the nine ministers who had just been ordered to raid their homes, but when they raised their eyes and saw Xia Ao's majestic figure, they swallowed back the words that came to their mouths and did not dare to speak out.

"This rebellion by the Prime Minister, San Gong and others has caused a lot of losses to my Great Xia Center, and also exposed some problems."

"So, I decided to reorganize the appointment and dismissal of court officials, and abolish the three princes!"

Hearing this, many people's expressions changed.

"Your Majesty, Sangong is one of the foundations of our Great Xia. It is of great significance to the formulation of the overall strategy of the imperial court and the stability and order of the court. Your Majesty must be cautious about this matter!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the three princes are like the three legs of a tripod, so don't give up lightly!"

There were voices of dissuasion one after another, but I don't know if it was a lesson learned by the nine people just now, or because of the influence of the king's style, the words of the dissuading people were extremely cautious, and they did not dare to have offensive words.

"San Gong's corpse is a vegetarian meal, which is meaningless to my Great Xia government. This matter, I have already decided, so don't talk too much!"

Xia Ao snorted coldly, ignoring the dissuading voice.

After saying that, Xia Ao glanced at Zhao Gao.

"From now on, Zhao Gao will be promoted to be the eunuch in charge of the palace."

"Zhao Gao, read out the imperial decree."

"According to the order!"

Zhao Gao bowed his head respectfully, then carefully picked up an imperial decree from the imperial case, and walked to the front of the imperial steps.

"Xuan, the new minister enters the palace~"

Not long after, more than ten figures walked in from outside the hall, came to the hall and saluted Xia Ao, then lowered their heads and waited for the will.

Seeing these people, all the officials in the palace had different expressions.

Because they only knew a few of these people, and the rest were very strange, as if they had never seen them before.

At this time, Zhao Gao finally opened up the imperial decree, cleared his throat, and began to read it.

"By God, Emperor Shenwu, the edict said: Here are virtuous ministers and generals Li Si, Yuwen Chengdu and others who have made great contributions to the stability of the Great Xia. They should be entrusted with important positions and use their talents to serve the country!"

"First, Li Si was appointed as the left prime minister of Daxia, in charge of civil affairs and internal affairs."

"Secondly, Gao Yan was appointed as the right minister of Daxia, and he was in charge of military affairs and foreign affairs."

"Thirdly, Li Bing was granted the title of Secretary of the Ministry of Industry to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry."

"Fourth, Zhang Yi was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Rites to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites."

……

"Ninthly, Xuanyiwei was reorganized as a bad person, and Yuan Tiangang was appointed as a bad commander. Yuan Tiangang was in charge of the reorganization, and the bad people were the eyes and ears of the Great Xia."

"Tenth, imperial seal Yuwen Chengdu as the commander of the Forbidden Army."

"On the eleventh day, the Yushutai was newly established to deal with classification, delivery, sending and receiving memorials, etc., and Shangguan Wan'er was granted the title of Yushutai Yushuling."

"The twelfth, imperial conferment on Bian Que as the head of the Royal Hospital..."

There are dozens of appointment and dismissal decrees in this imperial decree. After listening to it, the officials were already stunned.

Because aside from other things, the establishment and appointment of the prime minister alone is unacceptable.

What about Li Si and Gao Yan, they have never even heard of their names, how can He De be among the top officials?
There are also people like Li Bing and Zhang Yi. These people don't know where they came from. Why should they be in high positions?
They didn't know that, in fact, this was only part of Xia Ao's public appointment.

Xia Ao has not disclosed the existence of Luowang and those armies.

At this moment, not only the other courtiers were full of dissatisfaction, but also many members of the general family who had been extremely supportive of Xia Ao before had doubts and even anger in their hearts.

They are the new emperor's "own people". After the new emperor ascended the throne, it seems that they have been forgotten. Except for a few people, the rest have no rewards at all!
They thought they had the merits of being a dragon, but they didn't get a reward, so they were naturally unhappy.

Therefore, after Zhao Gao finished reading, people stood up and opposed immediately one after another.

"Your Majesty! I object! How important is the position of Prime Minister? How could it be so easily handed over to two Bai Ding who have no reputation at all?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is also opposed! The position of prime minister and minister is related to the foundation of the country, how can it be such a joke?"

"Your Majesty, anyone who ascends to the throne must have merit! Li Si, Gao Yan, Zhang Yi and others have not achieved an inch of merit, can An Neng ascend to the high position?"

Looking at the dozen or so ministers who jumped out to oppose, and looking at the other courtiers who showed hesitation but did not stand up for a long time, Xia Ao knew that this was the influence of the king's style.

Otherwise, I am afraid that at least [-]% of the entire court would have jumped out to object.

Regarding this, Xia Ao just closed his eyes and fell asleep with an indifferent face, and had no intention of arguing.

No matter what, he, the emperor, needs to go into battle in person.

Sure enough, as Li Si, Gao Yan, Zhang Yi and others stood up one after another, they either verbally fought against the courtiers, or debated their tactics, or deduced battle formations, and kept making the opposing courtiers speechless.

This process lasted for a full hour, and when it was over, there were only three ministers still standing there with their necks stuck, half-convinced.

"Your Majesty, the veteran admits that they do have certain talents, but rewards and punishments must be clearly defined! If the appointment of court officials is such a joke, how can they convince the public?"

"That's right, I hope His Majesty will take back the holy order!"

"I hope His Majesty will take back the holy order!"

Seeing that the three old stubborns still refused to give up, Li Si, who had a short beard and a resolute face, walked out of the train.

"Since the three of you are still not convinced, why don't we make a bet. The three of you can choose whatever you want, and Li will accept the challenge one by one."

"As long as Li loses a game, I will immediately resign from the position of left chancellor to His Majesty and present my head!"

"If Li wins by chance, the three only need to admit their mistakes to His Majesty."

"Of course, the three of you will need some time to think about it. How about it within three days?"

At this time, Gao Yan stood up with a light smile, and added: "There is also Gao, if Li Xiangru is defeated, Gao is willing to go with him."

The three ministers turned their heads to look at each other, and after making eye contact for a while, they reached an agreement.

"Okay! We accept this bet!"

"I just don't know, is your Majesty sure?"

Xia Ao slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the officials who were all looking at him, and said in a low voice: "Since it is a bet, it must be fair."

"Which side loses, it is convenient to offer the head. In this way, it also satisfies your desire to be fair."

The faces of the three ministers suddenly changed, but the matter has come to this point, they can only grit their teeth and hold on to the end.

The rest of the ministers also shuddered in their hearts, they had seen the dominance of the new emperor!
It seems that you have to be more careful in your actions in the future, otherwise, if you are not careful, you will lose your head...

[Ding, despite the opposition of the officials, you insist on appointing newcomers as important members of the imperial court, you are determined to go your own way, you are arbitrary, and your domineering value +500]
