In a palace, a middle-aged man with a calm face was holding a birdcage, quite leisurely.

"I wonder if Human Sovereign is ready for two years from now?"

Liu Che is different from other feudal lords, he still agrees with Daxia in his heart.

Even before sending people to steal the jade seal and forcing Xia Ji to give up, it was to bring peace back to the world.

At least, he thought so himself.

.................

Compared with Hanwang Liu Che's calmness.

Song Wang Zhao Ji was extremely flustered at the moment.

Ever since Xia Ji promulgated the news that vassal kings are not allowed to enter the imperial city without being summoned.

He was already worried.

Now that Great Xia has successfully mediated, Huang Xiaji's prestige has reached an unprecedented height.

It is even more difficult to sign a covenant with Daxia again.

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient. This matter still needs to see how the Human Sovereign's attitude is."

Zhu Xi spoke in a deep voice.

Compared with other princes, they have already shown enough sincerity.

Instead of panicking, it is better to wait and see what happens.

....................

The next morning.

Imperial City, Summer Palace.

Today, all the civil and military ministers are here, and everyone's faces are full of joy.

As for the reason, it was the successful mediation between Meng Yuan and Qin in the first battle.

But since Xia Ji came to the main hall, his face was gloomy.

This also made everyone dare not say more.

Everyone was silent, waiting for Xia Ji to speak.

Xia Ji sat on the dragon chair, looked around at the officials, and then spoke sharply.

"Meng Yuan fought with Qin and successfully mediated 680. This is a happy event, but I can't be happy anyway."

"It has been 790-240 years since Renhuangxia established Daxia. [-] years ago, Renhuang Zhuo was under pressure and divided the vassal kings."

"But now these vassal kings have more and more power in their hands, and they even call themselves a country. How is this different from being a king on their own?"

"Even though I let the Great Xia's national destiny condense, they still spread rumors, saying that the Great Xia is coming back, that the Great Xia will never last 800 years, and that after one and a half years, there will be natural disasters, and the Great Xia will be completely destroyed!"

"I know all about these things."

Having said this, Xia Ji paused slightly.

Most of the officials looked up in surprise.

They didn't expect that the National Fate Consolidation Form was actually Xia Ji's method.

But now is not the time to think about these things, they are quietly waiting for Xia Ji's next words.

I only heard Xia Ji continue to speak: "Since I became the throne, everything I have done is for Daxia, but what makes me feel chilling is that Daxia can achieve such achievements only because of me!"

"All of you hold important positions, and you didn't respond in the slightest when the rumors spread. Do you really think that I can't make Daxia eternal?"

"Let's talk about today! The vassal's civil strife still requires me to send people out to mediate. Is this something to be happy about!"

The voice fell.

All the ministers fell to the ground, but they were dripping with cold sweat and dared not speak.

Chapter 94 The Emperor's Heart Technique, Killing Chickens and Monkeys

There was silence in the hall, but no one dared to say a word.

Even because of the previous imperial examinations, these ministers were allowed to perform their duties.

But after the imperial examination was over, there were plenty of manpower, but they returned to laziness.

Habits developed over decades cannot be completely eradicated in such a short period of time.

When the rumors started, there was no action.

Knowing that Daxia's mediation was successful, he didn't even know to go to promote Daxia.

As Daxia officials, how could these people not know the importance of public opinion?

Xia Ji looked at the officials and snorted coldly.

Immediately, everyone fell to their knees, their heads pressed against the ground, trembling all over.

Seeing this, Xia Ji sneered: "Da Xia didn't kneel down, what do you mean by that?"

"I know I was wrong." He Shen said immediately.

Although he is now wondering where he was wrong, he knows that admitting his mistakes is not harmful.

With him taking the lead, the voices of a large group of officials knowing their mistakes continued to ring out.

But this time, Xia Ji will not simply let it go.

Even because of the previous investigation of corrupt officials, the number of officials in Daxia dropped sharply.

But today's Great Xia Dynasty Hall is still too bloated.

There are a large number of officials who are completely idle and not fully operational.

They are still immersed in their previous habits.

These habits have already penetrated into the bone marrow, making them all become uncoordinated, dead and vegetarian meals.

The matter of this mediation, logically speaking, cannot be said here at all.

After all, neither the supervisory officials nor their daily performance had any major problems.

But last night, when Xia Ji watched the progress of his plan, he discovered it.

There are many plans that have not been fully implemented.

For example, the new law has not been implemented quickly, and the students in the academy have not yet received the latest textbooks.

In the hands of these officials, these matters related to the future of Great Xia were handled as slowly as before.

That's why Xia Ji was so angry today.

Xia Ji looked at He Shen and said, "He Shen, since you know your mistake, why not tell me where it is?"

Asked by Xia Ji, He Shen's heart suddenly rose in his throat.

It trembled all over, like falling into an ice cave.

Since Xia Ji took the throne, he had never seen Xia Ji so angry.

He Shen hurriedly said: "I have neglected my duties. Many officials have resigned in the past two months, but I have not filled the vacancies of officials."

Among the new laws, it is not only for the family, but also for many officials.

This made it unacceptable for many officials who were accustomed to the comfortable life before, so they resigned one after another.

In this regard, Xia Ji did not have any obstacles, but he agreed to all resignations.

Not only did they ignore the previous suspicions, but also gave them enough money and mansions to allow them to retire with peace of mind.

It can be described as extremely merciful.

But here is the problem.

Although Daxia is on the rise now, a large number of talents are monopolized by the seven vassal kings.

There are also some other reasons why the previous imperial examination system was able to recruit talents.

On the one hand, Daxia hadn't really shown the potential to revive its glory at that time, and the Seven Kings didn't have much fear of Daxia.

On the other hand, because of the vision in the Great Xia Imperial City, there were many people in the rivers and lakes who came to watch the excitement.

Only in this way can people from the territory under the jurisdiction of the seven vassal kings be recruited.

But now, talent is almost cut off, which leads to many things that He Shen can't arrange at all.

Moreover, it is not a day or two for the Great Xia Dynasty to form a party for personal gain.

Even if everyone is a little clean now, there are always people who hold together.

He Shen is a smooth person, and Xia Ji never blamed him for embezzling half of the national treasury before, so he has become the object of everyone's pursuit.

Even, they are now planning to exclude Cao Changqing.

Even though he knew that Cao Changqing was from Xia Ji, his land immortal cultivation was too lofty.

"You still know that you are wrong?" Xia Ji laughed back in anger: "I don't take any blame for what you did before, but this is how you repay me?"

"The minister is guilty." He Shen lowered his head, trembling all over.

Xia Ji looked at Han Fei and said, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has neglected his duties, what should he be guilty of?"

Han Fei took a step forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Great Xia, all those who dereliction of duty will be dismissed from their positions and demoted to common people, and all their wealth will be confiscated. But if they are the first offenders, they will be punished fifty times. If they do not correct after repeated admonitions, It will implicate the nine clans!"

The laws enacted this time can be said to be quite benevolent, even Xia Ji is willing to give these people a chance.

But they didn't catch them all.

Xia Ji furiously said: "I want to give you a chance, so first-time offenders will be punished lightly, but now it seems that this is not the case, so you will have something to rely on."

"Everyone thinks that the first offense will not cause any fault, at most it will suffer some flesh and blood."

"But the memorial I got in February was not like this. Do you really think my kindness is so cheap?"

"All of you hold important positions, and what you need to consider is the future of Daxia, but each of you is extremely tired. Have you ever understood the truth that if one of the imperial courts is ruined, the whole of Daxia will be ruined?!"

As he said that, he looked at Han Fei and said, "'" Change this law, and all the requirements for officials will not be mentioned as first-time offenders!"

Hear this.

He Shen's face turned pale immediately, and his whole body trembled violently.

He almost fainted, but he still held back his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty! Now the Seven Great Feudal Kings have monopolized all the talents, and there is really no one to use!"

Han Fei also looked at Xia Ji with surprise on his face and said, "Then, this time, Your Majesty, with Your Excellency?"

This was Han Fei's intentional opening. He had already seen Xia Ji's true intentions.

Although Xia Ji was in the bedroom almost every night, all government affairs were not left behind, and everything was handled extremely meticulously.

It can be said that he is a wise emperor through the ages.

How could he not know about the fact that there is no talent available in Da Xia now?

Today's attack on Heshen is just to make an example to the monkeys.

Moreover, He Shen has recently started to be dishonest again.

It should also be well tapped.

Xia Ji took a deep breath: "Get out, just take a breath."

Hearing this, He Shen kowtowed again and again as if he had been pardoned.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" (Wang Qianhao)

But before he was taken out, Xia Ji continued: "I will give you half a month, if you can't fill those vacancies, Li Xun Huan will take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials!"

After hearing this, He Shen wanted to say something else.

But I also know that now is not the time to talk too much.

At least, I won half a month's time for myself.

Soon, He Shen was carried out by two big-armed guards.
