I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens

"Mr. Hua Shi, the position of prime minister belongs to you."

This was not just an imperial decree from Yang Jian alone, but one that everyone in the court, both civil and military officials, obeyed.

There is no other way. If anyone is dissatisfied, come out and take a look and see who has not been done to by Hua Shi?
Even Luo Shixin, who was a little stupid, was convinced when he saw Hua Shi's condition and thought that he had almost killed him.

The former Prime Minister Gao Jiong is now an old man, and even if there is no new person to replace him, he has to retire now. Hua Yan has been beaten by Hua Shi on the head, and although he did not lose a big loss, he can only defend himself and has no power to fight back.

Everyone recognizes Hua Shi as the best civil official.

Hua Shi refused to recognize it.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Hua Shi coughed continuously and felt like his lungs were almost broken and he vomited.

"No, Your Majesty. Look at my body. It's full of stuff. You can just give me a sinecure where I can just collect a salary without having to work. If there is a problem that you really can't solve, and I happen to be still alive, you can come to me for advice and I'll tell you. How about that?"

Yang Jian couldn't say anything. Seeing Hua Shi's dying behavior, what else could he say?

He was given a title without substance, namely the King of Free and Easy, and that was just a way of fooling around with him.

Next came the people who were originally from King Hou Tu’s army.

Most of the rebel kings who merged before have been settled by King Hou Tu’s army, so there is no need to trouble them now. We can just fulfill the promise made back then.

Yang Jian was also very straightforward. He had not learned much from Yang Gui in all these years, but he always kept his word and would do what he promised. He had learned it.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it can be said in one sentence: treat people as human beings. However, throughout the long history, many so-called "big men" have failed to do this simple thing, and ended up failing.

Yang Jian would not do that. According to Yang Gui's promise, those who surrendered at the beginning, if they wanted to become rich, would be given money, food and land, and allowed to return to become local gentry. Of course, they still had to be supervised by the national law.

People like Shan Xiongxin who wanted to expand the territory with their brothers were also allowed to do so.

Those rebel kings had not received the so-called new-style education developed by Yang Gui, so they certainly could not serve as officials in the new Tang Dynasty.

As for Luo Shixin, Xiong Kuohai and Liang Shitai, each of them was given the title of general and the title of earl and was treated as a idol.

The people who originally followed Yang Jian, those old brothers, had already died at this point in the original history. Even if they had learned some of the physical fitness skills taught by Yang Gui, they were all old and frail.

In this state, being able to pee where it is needed is considered a victory, so what ambitions are there? They all took their titles and rewards and went home to retire. If their descendants want to benefit from it, it is nothing more than receiving a better education and more timely education.

If you want to be an official, you still have to pass the imperial examination.

This is fairness.

The titles of Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi were both raised by one level. Marquis of Nanyang became Duke of Nanyang, and Wu Tianxi was also given the title of Earl.

Huayan became the Grand Tutor, which was a sinecure. He would visit the countryside every day to correct the daily problems that the new country might encounter in its administration.

As for Li Shimin, he could only be prime minister.

Because of the prediction of the imperial mandate, Yang Jian gave Li Shimin a rare treatment that was beyond the times. In this era, Yang Jian had already adopted the system of three provinces and six ministries. Strictly speaking, there was no such position as prime minister. The head of the civil servants of the Shangshu Province, Shangshu Pushe, was generally called prime minister.

But Yang Jian gave Li Shimin something different.

He gave Li Shimin the treatment of Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Jiajieyue, although it could not be inherited and it was stipulated that after Li Shimin's death, the treatment of Kaifu would be cancelled and merged into the three provinces again, but it was still the highest honor.

The so-called establishing a government means that you can have a small team and a small court.

The staffing arrangements are already set for you. From recruitment to remuneration, you decide everything. Personnel appointments and dismissals are also decided by you.

Why did people in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period like to call someone "lord" at every turn? That's not a master-servant game. I recognize you as the master and I am your servant. I call you "lord". Han people have never been so lowly since ancient times.

I call you Lord because you are my boss. You are the one who gives me my position and salary. You specify my work content and I am responsible for your results. When I retire and can no longer work, you will also protect my family and future.

You are my lord. I am responsible to my lord, not to the emperor. My lord is responsible to the emperor. This is a typical behavior of "my vassal's vassal is not my vassal".

Let's talk about the fake Jieyue. Jie means holding a seal, which can represent the emperor and the country in ceremonial missions.

"Holding the imperial seal in Yunzhong, when will Feng Tang be sent away?" This is the imperial seal. The same is true of Su Wu who kept his imperial seal while herding sheep.

Yue is easy to understand. Having an axe and axe on one's body represents the power to execute.

To be granted the power of "Jiajieyue" means that the emperor has delegated to you the power of diplomatic etiquette and life and death. With the power of "Jiajieyue", you can not only kill soldiers who violate military orders at will, but also go to war on behalf of the monarch and have the power to kill generals.

Giving Li Shimin this power was basically equivalent to allowing him to set up his own small court in the imperial court.

Li Shimin didn't be polite to Yang Jian. Since the emperor has given you the power, why are you still being so shy?

Anyway, it cannot be passed down from generation to generation, and the military talents under his command were all trained by the imperial court. Nominally, they were under the command of Li Shimin. If Li Shimin really wanted to use this to rebel, he could have someone capture him before lunch time, tie him up and send him to Yang Jian to await his punishment.

So Li Shimin's prime minister's office included the original members of his Li family, as well as some talents who were trained later.

It must be said that Li Shimin is indeed capable. Yang Jian feels that this guy is much better than his old brother Gao Jiong.

Talents cultivated at the grassroots level, a new imperial examination system, brand-new crop seeds, vines, and breeding techniques, countless talents, and the prosperity of the human race.

The Tang Dynasty re-established by Yang Jian is much stronger than the original Tang Dynasty in history. It has only been a few years since its establishment, but it has already surpassed the heyday of the Zhenguan period in history.

At this time, Yang Gui also suppressed Yuwen Chengdu - now he returned to the position of Wen Zhong, pressed down the cloud, and came into the palace.

"Ancestor, you still say you are not a god!"

Yang Jian looked at Yang Gui and his wife falling from the sky, and he felt cheated. The other important officials who saw Yang Gui and his wife were even more panicked. Especially Li Shimin, it turned out that this man was really an old immortal. Fortunately, he did not rebel, otherwise it would be hard to say what would happen to him now.

"We were not gods at that time. Oh, how could I lie to you? When we came down to earth, we signed a treaty with the Jade Emperor in heaven. We had to be reincarnated as mortals before we could come down to earth. At that time, no power belonging to gods was allowed to appear. It was guaranteed to be human power."

Yang Gui explained insincerely to the founding emperor who worshipped him as his ancestor: "Just like Yuwen Chengdu, who you killed before, he is a god."

"Oh yes, Mr. Hua Shi has figured it out, but I wonder what kind of god he is?" Yang Jian asked curiously.

It was the time of the court session, and a group of civil and military officials sitting nearby also leaned over to listen curiously.

"Wen Zhong, have you heard of him?" Yang Gui smiled as he looked at the shocked faces of the mortals in front of him. "That's the one, the God of Thunder, the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder God."

"Oh shit!"

The emperor was so frightened that he burst into swear words, "He is Thunder God? I just killed Thunder God?"

The one who was more afraid than the emperor was Wei Zheng. Although Wei Zheng's position was under Li Shimin's name, it was not the Eastern Han Dynasty after all. The emperor's power was more centralized and unified. Moreover, he would be an official who would be incorporated into the three provinces in the future, so he would naturally have to attend court.

"I just beheaded Thunder God?" He said the same thing as Yang Jian, and then glared at Hua Shi: "Traitor, you bastard, you just said that I am the most suitable person to supervise the execution of Yuwen Chengdu?"

Hua Shi spread his hands, looking innocent, "Just tell me whether you are dead or not."

"Ah this, ah I..." Wei Zheng was speechless.

He was indeed not dead, but after killing the Thunder God, he had to live in fear for the rest of his life. If he did anything wrong, he would be afraid that the Thunder God would take the opportunity to retaliate and strike him down.

It is impossible for a person to never make a mistake and have no selfishness in his life. That is not a person, that is AI. Although Wei Zheng was an honest official and an upright person, he did not want to have a thunder god staring at him and hitting him if he made a mistake.

"It's okay. If he kills you, you can go to heaven and find him." Yang Gui didn't care. "We are all old gods. Who is afraid of whom? I will take care of it for you."

"Ah, I am also a deity?" Wei Zheng turned and looked at Yang Gui in confusion: "You make the decision for me, wherever you go, make the decision for me, is your position as high as that of the Thunder God?"

"Hey, country boy, what the hell are you talking about!" Li Shimin rushed over and covered the mouth of Wei Zheng, the big talker, for fear that he would implicate himself.

Although Wei Zheng was a loyal minister, he seemed a little foolish when it came to many human relationships and worldly affairs.

He is stupid, but Li Shimin is not. In fact, Li Shimin can be said to be quite sensitive about this aspect.

Didn't you hear what this gentleman said just now? "He signed a treaty with the Jade Emperor"! What kind of gods must be qualified to sign a treaty with the Jade Emperor? For ordinary gods, the Jade Emperor would just issue an imperial decree.

You just have to follow orders. If you don't, you are disobeying orders. If you don't follow them well, you are guilty of deceiving the emperor. No matter how high you are, you cannot avoid the sword from the Immortal Execution Platform.

This guy can negotiate terms with the Jade Emperor, do you think he can defeat the Thunder God?

Besides, Yuwen Chengdu, the reincarnation of Thunder God, became a god only after his death. Do you see any changes in this one? He has come down to earth in the flesh!

"Hahaha, King Yang, no, old immortal, please excuse me, my subordinate is not very smart." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Yes, it works. His brain works well. This guy is a human official in heaven, responsible for distinguishing between loyalty and treachery and beheading treacherous people. It is just right to let him kill Yuwen Chengdu."

Yang Gui smiled and shook his head: "Don't be afraid. Why do you think the clouds dispersed in one day? I suppressed them when I came. Wen Zhong is the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty after all. He is also in a high position and has great power. He would not find such a petty person just for you."

"Thank you, thank you." Wei Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Yang Gui.

"Little Li." Yang Gui called him Li Shimin again.

"Hey, I'm here, I'm here." Li Shimin hurried over to listen.

"It was hard to tell you before, but I'll tell you now. You were destined to revive the Tang Dynasty. Of course, you also had a chance to be the emperor. But my wife glared at Ziweixing and frightened him away. So you lost your destiny as emperor. You can't blame me, right?"

"No, no, how could I blame him!" Did Li Shimin blame Yang Gui? Of course he did! He wanted to eat Yang Gui alive.

But does he dare to blame?

Of course not.

Listen to what this person said. He glared at Ziweixing and cancelled his destiny as emperor. Is this human language? What level of god must have such authority?

Li Shimin didn't dare to think about what would happen to him if he dared to object.

"Well, I won't treat you unfairly." Yang Gui has been like this since he became the Heavenly Dao. He gives and takes, and is very fair:

"If you complete your mission of reviving the Tang Dynasty honestly, I will remember your merit. When you die and go to heaven, I will ask the Jade Emperor to make you a deity. At least you will be immortal, right? How can that not be better than the emperor?"

"Are you serious?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up immediately, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yang Gui: "Thank you, old immortal!!"

"What about me, ancestor, what about me?" Yang Jian asked eagerly.

"Don't even think about it. You are an emperor and you still want to be a god? Dream on." Yang Gui glanced at Yang Jian, "No, before you die, I will take you to Huoyun Cave to meet the three holy emperors of the human race. See if they know you want to become a god, and will treat you to your favorite slap in the face."

"Hehe, forget it, forget it. I think it's good to be the emperor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty of the human race." Yang Jian immediately returned to the dragon throne and sat upright.

"Okay, now that the era of human strife has ended, a more interesting era is about to begin. After all, Yang Jian calls me ancestor, so I came here specifically to remind you."

Yang Gui waved his hand and said, "The next era will be the era of gods and demons. Countless gods, demons and monsters will begin to reappear in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that ten Wu Yunzhaos are no match for a little demon. Get ready!"

"Be prepared? I'm a fool!" Yang Jian's eyes went dark after hearing this, and he immediately felt the urge to give up: "Ten Wu Yunzhaos can't even beat a little demon, so our human race is doomed!" (End of this chapter)
