"Since the Smiths already have the intention to betray us, why don't we go all out?”Old Ancestor Li of the Ministry of Rites said coldly. The Li family and the Su family had a grudge to begin with, so he was the first to speak.
His words made the other old ancestors laugh. If it wasn't for the fact that Old Ancestor Li had cultivated to the Immortal King realm due to his talent, they really didn't want to be associated with him.
Even in the past, he would have to be extremely cautious with these words, let alone now that the situation was so unfavorable to the civil servants.
Not to mention that attacking the Su family was equivalent to pushing the Su family to the imperial family. Just the current imperial family would not watch them attack the Su family.
At that time, they would return to the situation today. Whether they wanted to fight to the death with the imperial family or not, they would definitely be the ones to die. Moreover, they would die faster than before because the imperial family had an Immortal King Realm helper.
"The Su family is not easy to deal with now, but we have to be careful. Other than that, we can only wait until we join forces with the kings and marquises of the various provinces before we see the situation!”Old Ancestor Chen sighed helplessly.
The situation had changed so quickly that they were somewhat helpless.
As for betraying the country, it was not yet that dangerous. Even if it really happened, the risk would be extremely high. The other factions would probably join forces to destroy them first.
"That's the only way!" The other families had no choice but to agree with Ancestor Chen.
In the royal study of the Imperial Palace, Feng Wufa of Xianling Sect was led by Wei Zhongxian to meet Ying Feng.
"Elder Feng Wufa of Xianling Sect greets Your Majesty!”Feng Wufa bowed to Ying Feng, who was sitting on the throne.
"Feng Wufa, at the court meeting tomorrow, I will officially establish the Six Fan School and officially start the competition for the position of the Four Great Constables. In addition to the Four Great Constables, there will be another twelve reserve constables. These twelve reserve constables have no real power but can work part-time. Only when the two great constables and above agree can they be given a task with real power. This will also give the Four Great Constables a buffer. I don't want the Six Fan School to be powerless in an important case because of the conflict between the four great constables.”Ying Feng said sternly.
Feng Wufa was a little surprised, but he still smiled and said,""Your Majesty, don't worry. Xianling Sect has no objections to this.”
"Since there's no problem, then you can go down. You can see Yanyan and the others before you leave!”Ying Feng nodded and said indifferently.
After Feng Wufa left the royal study, he was led by a eunuch to a pavilion in the side hall to meet Feng Yanyan and Elder Feng Ling.
"Elder Feng, you're finally here. How is it? Is the sect doing well?”Feng Yanyan was still very excited to see Feng Wufa. She had lived in Xianling Sect for nearly fifty years. It was impossible to say that she did not miss him. However, her status was different now. Without Ying Feng's permission, she could not leave the palace.
This made Feng Yanyan very angry. There were a few times when he wanted to beat Ying Feng up, but he was pulled back by Feng Ling desperately. The price was to fight with Feng Yanyan to vent the anger in his heart.
This made Ying Feng bitterly smile when he heard the news.
Ying Feng felt that he would definitely beat her until she cried after he completely broke the bloodline curse and cultivated successfully.
The next day, in the Skyward Palace. This was the second court meeting since Ying Feng became the lord of the Immortal Court.
At this moment, Ying Feng was wearing a black dragon robe with five claws and a flat crown on his head. His expression was serious and his gaze was dignified. He walked toward the dragon throne under the escort of Wei Zhongxian and the other eunuchs and palace maids.
When the ancient Heavenly City led the rise of the human race, they had already roped in the dragon race, a branch of the demon race, as their national beast. From then on, the dragon race became the symbol of the human race, and all countries respected the dragon totem.
Sitting on the dragon throne, his majestic gaze swept across the entire hall. Compared to the first time, Ying Feng's temperament had undergone a huge change, causing all the officials to stare at him. However, the expressions of the civil servants were not so good.
The more outstanding an emperor was, the sadder the powerful officials with selfish motives would be.
"Long live our emperor!" Even if some of the officials had ugly expressions, they had no choice but to bow to Ying Feng.
"Everyone, rise!" Ying Feng's coaxing voice rang out, and it contained a sense of majesty. It caused the hearts of the officials to tremble, and only then did they stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"It has been more than half a month since the last court session. In this time, We have gathered information about the various provinces of Great Qin and found that the lives of the people of Great Qin are difficult. Thieves are rampant, local officials are corrupt, and local evil factions bully the people.”Ying Feng's furious and dignified words reverberated in the hall, causing most of the officials to involuntarily lower their heads.
The six ministers, on the other hand, were calm and unworried.
"Minister of Personnel!" Ying Feng's cold gaze landed on the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Fan Tian.
"Your subject is here!" Fan Tian stepped forward.
"You, the Minister of Personnel Affairs, are in charge of the assessment and promotion of the officials in the various prefectures. Are you clear about the corruption of the officials in various places?”Ying Feng asked in a deep voice.
"I know! This subject had sent people to various places to investigate, but these people quickly disappeared without a trace after entering the various provinces. In the end, there was really no one to send. Even the official promotion documents issued by the Ministry of Personnel did not receive any reply. They also disappeared without a trace like people. Our imperial court has almost lost control over the officials in various provinces!”Fan Tian reported slowly.
Such a huge problem happening in various places was not his problem, but the problem of the Ministry of Military Personnel.
"Minister of War!" Ying Feng glanced at Fan Tian indifferently, then turned his gaze to the Minister of War, Su Bohao.
"Your subject is here!" Su Bohao stepped forward.
"Is what Minister Fan said true?”Ying Feng asked.
"Your Majesty, it is true! Thieves ran amok everywhere. The local generals listened to orders but did not listen to orders. There were even local nobles who secretly blocked them. This subject sent troops into the various provinces many times to clean up, but soon, these troops were either killed or disappeared. The national treasury could not take out the money and resources to recruit new soldiers. In the end, this subject really did not have any soldiers to send!”Su Bohao said in pain. He had put on a good show. If he could, of course, he wanted to control more power, but reality did not allow it. The kings of the various states were not only powerful but also powerful. Their interests were intertwined, and they could not suppress the local tyrants.
After Ying Feng heard this, he laughed coldly in his heart. Of these two ministers, one said that he had no officials to send, and the other said that he had no soldiers to send. Although part of it was true, he was more willing to believe that these officials had reached an exchange of benefits with the local nobles. It was just that the civil officials were at a disadvantage in the process of this transaction, and they did not dare to offend the local nobles, a huge interest group.
