Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

At this time.

on the dragon chair.

"Cough cough cough..."

Emperor Xia turned his gaze to Xia Tian, ​​and his deliberate cough was full of curiosity: "Prince, what do you think of this matter?"

"Now there are many vacant official positions in the DPRK, and there is a lack of a group of loyal, patriotic, and capable officials..."

Having said this, Emperor Xia pointed to the old ministers of the former Qin Dynasty and said: "These old ministers have experienced two dynasties, and all of them have extraordinary abilities. They have also proven their loyalty to Daxia. Now that the prince oversees the country, they must be reused!"

"The position of Minister of the Sixth Department is currently vacant. I think... you can promote a few capable veterans among them to take over the Sixth Department!"

"What do you say?"

Immediately, the old ministers of the former dynasty knelt down one after another, their faces and eyes full of gratitude, and they kowtowed excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"I am willing to serve your majesty and Daxia till death!"

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Xia's laughter was very proud: "It's good if you have this intention!"

Xia Tian knew very well that the emperor was driving a wedge between him and his former Qin ministers!

He offered several ministerial positions just to win over the hearts and minds of former officials of the former Qin Dynasty!

Originally, if these words were said by Xia Tian, ​​the former Qin ministers in the palace would be extremely grateful to him, and they would definitely be devoted to him!

But from Emperor Xia's point of view, it will make people feel that Xia Tian does not miss old feelings, and even is unkind and unjust!

This is Emperor Xia's conspiracy!

As for whether it is possible to really drive a wedge between Xia Tian and the old ministers of the former dynasty...it doesn't actually matter!

If you don’t succeed once, there will be a second time!

Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as people are willing to separate, they will always succeed if they try to separate many times!

at this time.

The second, third and fifth princes are overjoyed!

Is Father going to take action against Stinky Laojiu?

Good thing!

At this time.

Just listen to Emperor Xia continue to say: "Prince, I know that you are fair and just in doing things. After this chaos in the wealthy family, you want to give the world's capable people a chance, so you introduced the imperial examination system!"

"I support this!"

"I also hope that the imperial examination can be held as soon as possible so that talents can be selected for the country!"

At this point, Emperor Xia changed his subject: "However, even if the imperial examination can select enough officials for the court, such an important position as the Six Ministers is not suitable for newcomers to the court!"

"But the talented people from various families who have contributed to the rebellion this time are different. They are all from official families and have experience in being officials... Even if they have no official experience, but have ancestral experience, they still know how to do Daxia The official of the court!"

"So I think that the six ministers can also be selected from each family. The court will use this to commend each family's merits and let the world know that our Great Xia court never treats meritorious ministers harshly!"

"At the same time, the imperial court can also obtain talents from various families, which is a win-win situation!"

"Prince, what do you say?"

Emperor Xia's voice had just finished, but Xia Tian hadn't spoken yet!

The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince all said in unison: "My son, I second the proposal!"

What they want to do is make Stinky Old Nine uncomfortable.

at last.

"The minister also agrees!"

Sima Jian, the left prime minister who had been watching, also said: "The empire is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. As the left prime minister of the imperial court, I have really felt the difficulty of having no one under my command these days. Therefore, I completely agree with your majesty. All important positions in the imperial court We must be superior and ensure the normal operation of the court!”

"I understand that His Highness the Crown Prince cherishes feathers. He is afraid that promoting veterans from two dynasties will make the world think that he is a clique for personal gain. He is afraid of damaging the name of the Holy Prince. So, how about letting the Prime Minister propose this name?"

"and also......"

"Since ancient times, it has been common for capable people to be recommended to the court as officials, and it has not blocked the official path of the people in the world!"

"If His Highness the Crown Prince thinks that recommending talented people from various families is blocking the way for the people of the world to be official, then...does the people of the world also block the way for talented people from various families?"

"This is a dilemma. What do you think, Your Highness?"

This was the first time since the Zhangshu Rebellion was over that Zuo Prime Minister Sima Jian publicly stood opposite Xia Tian, ​​targeting him with every word he spoke, highlighting an irreconcilable contradiction and highlighting an isolated prince!

At this time, the important ministers in the palace suddenly discovered that...the prince who seemed to have unlimited power actually had no foundation in the court!

All his power comes from the emperor!

If the emperor supports him, he will be inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people!

If the emperor turns against him, the prince's power will cease!

Just like now, if the emperor, the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, and the left prime minister Sima Jian stand on one side, they can immediately overwhelm the prince!

Now it seems... both the old ministers of the former court and the new nobles of the court are standing opposite the prince, which is even more troublesome!

Prince, are you done with this job?

Does the emperor want to establish a new crown prince?

silently.

Most of the court officials "consciously" stayed away from Xia Tian!

They stared at the third prince's back and made some decisions in their hearts!

at last.

Xia Tian raised his eyes and looked at the Censor: "What does the Censor think?"

"Your Highness, I think the Prime Minister Zuo is right. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. Similarly, the court cannot be without a king for a day!"

"Now that the six ministerial posts are vacant, the operation of the imperial court is in a hectic state, and we really need someone to take office quickly!"

"So, I second the proposal!"

The words have come to this.

The ministers expressed their opinions one after another: "I second my opinion!"

Among the ministers, including Xia Tian!

"very good!"

Emperor Xia's face showed satisfaction: "Prince, time waits for no one. Now we will decide on the candidates for the six ministers and discuss them directly in the court!"

"Yes!"

Xia Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Since my father, all the royal brothers, the left prime minister and all the important ministers all agree, I will not object!"

"Please ask the left prime minister to recommend talented people. If approved by the court, they will take office immediately!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xia agreed: "Prime Minister Zuo, you are the head of hundreds of officials, and the Sima family is the head of aristocratic families. You know the situation of each family, so it is up to you to recommend him!"

"Yes!"

Sima Jian, the Prime Minister of the Left, had already prepared: "Your Majesty, the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Chaoshang, is the biggest contributor to the quelling of this rebellion. He is brave and resourceful. He is also from a family of officials and has the ability to sit as Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"Now, the old minister recommends Jiang Chao to be the Minister of War!"

Emperor Xia nodded: "Prince, what do you think?"

"I think it's inappropriate!"

"What's wrong?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of War controls the army of Great Xia. The person who serves as the Minister of the Ministry of War must have prestige in the army and must be a veteran on the battlefield who knows soldiers and knows how to fight!"

"I think it will work!"

The third prince raised his eyelids and followed the method that Stinky Lao Jiu would agree with even if he objected: "Father, let's stand in line and vote!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xia agrees!

"Those who agree with Jiang Chao's appointment as Minister of War will follow me and stand on the right. If you disagree, follow the prince and stand on the left!"

After saying that, the third prince stood aside directly. The courtiers followed closely and left Xia Tian one after another, standing firmly with the third prince!

So, the third prince raised his head proudly!

Won!

He finally defeated Stinky Laojiu!

I'm so excited!

He even wanted to recite a poem...

now.

on the dragon chair.

Emperor Xia is also in a good mood!

Finally, I suppressed the smelly Xiaojiu, and it felt wonderful!

He was so depressed during this period!

"it is good!"

Emperor Xia solemnly said: "Now I announce that the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Chaoshang, will be appointed as the Minister of War!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Chao knelt down, his eyes met Xia Tian's eyes lightly... He said with profound meaning: "I will wholeheartedly build military strength for the empire and protect my Daxia Empire from being bullied!"

"very good!"

Emperor Xia's face was full of joy: "Jiang Aiqing, after the dynasty is over, a decree will be sent to your home, and the military department will be handed over to you from now on!"

"According to the order!"

"Get up!"

"Yes!"

"Prime Minister Zuo, please continue to recommend!"

"Yes!"

Sima Jian continued: "Next, the old minister recommends Zhou Yuan, the head of the Zhou family, to be the Minister of Household Affairs. He is a shrewd person and will definitely be qualified for the job!"

At this time.

Emperor Xia looked at Xia Tian again: "Prince, do you support Zhou Yuan's appointment as Minister of Household Affairs?"

All eyes were focused on Prince Xia Tian again!

Jiang Chao took office as Minister of War, and the prince had already lost a round!

If Zhou Yuan is allowed to serve as the Minister of Household Affairs again, the prince will lose the second round!

What will he do?
