Chapter 168 Ministers

At the court meeting the next day, Du Chengfeng was officially appointed as an official and received the imperial seal and ribbon.

There was no reaction from the civil and military officials, and it seemed that they had acquiesced to this fact. After all, the traitor Jia Wen and the others had admitted it, so it was not impossible to replace him with someone else. As for the young-looking little emperor, no one cared about it. Anyway, this so-called emperor has always been just a decoration.

People's hearts have long been floating.

Everyone has their own ideas, but they are so experienced that they will never put their ideas on their faces. They will smile and congratulate Du Chengfeng, even if Du Chengfeng was just a rebel who came out of Jibei countryside before— - Perhaps this is something that should be laughed at. After all, a rural rebel who was born as a warrior is better to talk to than a prime minister who was born as a scholar, even if the other party is a disciple of Ruan Shantao.

People will have weaknesses, people will have desires, and with desires, people can be exploited.

It is not true that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty had learned nothing from the treacherous prime minister.

But all this has nothing to do with Du Chengfeng. What he wants cannot be given by these people, or in other words, no one can give it. Du Chengfeng, who has gone through many twists and turns from Jibei to now, already knows that the real What belongs to him is always obtained with his own hands.

Of course, this didn't stop him from asking for some news.

"Is there a better snack shop in Jiankang City? The kind that is more reliable."

"……what?"

The courtiers who came to congratulate were stunned.

You must know that they are all ready to give something to build a good relationship first, whether it is tacky gold and silver jewelry, elegant antique calligraphy and painting, or the swords, guns, swords and halberds that warriors prefer, some people even come up with He used a honey trap trick - but what the new Grand Master wanted was a snack shop?

"I have two dessert shops at home."

Some courtiers stood up after being puzzled for a moment.

"If Grand Master doesn't mind it, I'm willing to..."

"What do I need a shop for? I just want to buy something."

Du Chengfeng shook his head and declined the kindness.

If it was the original him, he might still be very interested in this kind of thing. After all, these are two shops in the capital. If they are run well, they can even make money every day - for the original man For him, who is so poor, to be able to achieve such a fortune is simply a fulfilling life, and there is nothing more he could ask for.

But for him now, he only finds such trivial matters boring.

Without strength, nothing can be grasped. He has deeply understood this truth, and in the pursuit of strength, these mundane things are dispensable.

"Anyway, I'm going to go shopping first, you can do whatever you want."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng rode away.

Yes, because he didn't trust others to leave his things, Du Chengfeng came to court this time on horseback.

Such arrogant and arrogant behavior naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials, but what worried them most was that the newly appointed Grand Master did not accept their good intentions - this undoubtedly frightened them.If gifts can be given, it at least shows that they have some need for each other and can continue to communicate in the future.

But now, the fact that gifts cannot be sent out means that, in a sense, they are not needed.

What will happen to useless things?

"How about we go find those people." After retreating from the court, some courtiers gathered secretly to discuss their future retreat.

As for "those people" in their mouth, they are of course the remnants of Prime Minister Jia Wen.Although Prime Minister Jia Wen himself died suddenly, his men are still there, and the strength of these people has been verified in previous counter-rebellions - although the methods of those remnants of the previous dynasty are quite It's a shame, but at least in fact, these former scholars of Dayu did effectively suppress the rebellion.

After the death of Prime Minister Jia Wen, these remnants of the previous dynasty also organized several assassinations against the murderer Du Chengfeng, but those assassinations failed in the end.

Like Prime Minister Jia Wen, the strengths of these scholars are more in deceiving people, but at this time when they need to fight head-on to kill people, they are somewhat unable to do so.

"However, head-on confrontation is our strength."

Some elderly courtiers stroked their beards.

The other courtiers also nodded.

Yes, when it comes to head-on confrontation, they are truly fearless. On the one hand, it is because of the various secret techniques that have been accumulated in the family during this long period of time. On the other hand, it is also because of those who have been secretly gathered by them. Yes, a hidden master with the ability to unleash his evil aura.

But the most important thing is those things that they enshrine in their families.

It was a terrifying weapon called the Divine Weapon of Protecting the Country.

People only know that Taizu Taizu of Chen once used fifteen divine weapons to protect the country and killed countless grassland barbarians. However, few people know that fourteen of the fifteen divine weapons to protect the country were It comes from the generals who followed Taizu Taizu of Chen in the past.

In the process of following the Great Chen Taizu in the east and west expeditions, these generals all died on the battlefield, and their weapons were gathered up by the Great Chen Taizu. After the battle in the north, these weapons were completely launched. The prestige also completely established Taizu Chen's unshakable status.

This is a well-known thing.

What people don't know is that after Taizu of Chen was buried in the imperial mausoleum, these weapons were taken back by the descendants of those generals. As the legacy of their ancestors, they were worshiped day and night, and the descendants of these generals also deliberately concealed them. This matter - after all, the fifteen divine weapons locked in the palace sound safer than the fourteen divine weapons held by various aristocratic families.

After all, the various families at that time still believed in the Dachen royal family. Even considering the remaining power of Dachen Taizu, they felt that the Dachen royal family could lead them to get more benefits.

But looking at it now...

"It seems that our Majesty, the newly drawn sword, is not too friendly to us."

Several courtiers looked at each other and confirmed what each other was thinking.

As Chen's ministers, they have the responsibility to advise His Majesty when His Majesty fails to behave, and even help His Majesty correct some of his improper behaviors.

After all, although this Da Chen belonged to their Emperor, it was still theirs after all.

In other words, it has always been theirs.

　The belated first update arrived, and I quickly went to write the second update.

　　Another: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

　　Thanks to Erhuo Xiong, Ye Xiangling’s reward is really a waste of money.

　　I continued to code, but I felt dizzy writing the transitional chapters.
