"Greetings, Ruler."
Jiang Chen walked onto the dragon throne, and the ministers knelt down one after another.
Although this game was based on the ancient feudal dynasties, there were some improvements to some things.
For example, they rarely knelt down.
Those palace maids and eunuchs were actually the monarch's personal servants.
They were performing the etiquette of a slave meeting his master, not the etiquette of a prince or minister meeting the king.
Almost all of these officials were of noble birth, and their status was very noble.
Unless it was an important ceremony such as the coronation of a new king or the worship of the heavens, they would usually bow.
"Everyone, please rise."
Jiang Chen didn't get angry at the beginning of their first meeting. He looked calm.
It seemed that he did not know anything about these people and did not know anything about the country's situation.
However, the moment he finished speaking, he quietly activated the skill of the Son of Heaven's Gaze.
The strength, luck, and loyalty of everyone in the hall were displayed before his eyes.

……
"F * ck!"
Putting away the Son of Heaven Gaze, Jiang Chen could not help but curse in his heart.
There were a total of twenty-six ministers, but only three of them had a loyalty level of sixty.
Besides, apart from one, the others only had red to orange luck.
They were all very old. The youngest was 50 years old.
This kind of concoction could no longer be described as low. It was simply the beggar version of the beggar version, the beggar of the beggar, the king of the beggar world.
He was the king, but he had become the leader of Beggar's Sect.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and tried his best not to explode.
He was the first to speak,
"Dear ministers, my new ruler has ascended the throne, and the country is in a state of turmoil. If you have any plans to rejuvenate the country, please feel free to report.”
According to the rules of etiquette, the monarch, marquis, dukedom, and kingdom could only address themselves as 'I' or 'I' or according to the corresponding rank. They could also address themselves as 'this monarch',' this marquis 'or' this duke 'or' this king'.
Only when the country ascended to the fifth rank, which was the beginning of the empire, could they call themselves Zhen.
Calling someone above his rank would lower the personal reputation of the monarch. In serious cases, it would even cause a large area of loyalty to drop.
Jiang Chen's words were originally just a custom after the new king ascended the throne.
Having lived two lives and fought in this game for ten years, it wasn't like he didn't know anything.
According to the rules set in the game, the most important thing for a new monarch to ascend to the throne was to set his own national policy.
In this way, he would be able to rope in a group of officials who were willing to listen to him as quickly as possible.
The officials in the struggle for hegemony were not puppets. Everyone had their own calculations and considerations.
Sometimes, benefits were much more useful than pure benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
The new national policy meant that one group of people would benefit while the other group would suffer.
Only in this way could they win over, divide, and strike, thus quickly establishing their authority.
However, Jiang Chen did not expect that the hall would turn silent after he said that.
The expressions on several people's faces were a little ugly, as if they had eaten a fly.
A moment later, the old official closest to him slowly took a step forward.
He cupped his hands with a smile and said,
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty made a mistake just now.”
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. He had only asked everyone to present a plan to rejuvenate the country. What was wrong with that?
However, he didn't retort directly. Instead, he asked expressionlessly,
"Oh, what is it?"
"Your Majesty being able to worry about the world is truly the blessing of our Qin country's people. You are our role model.
"However, the previous ruler had been working hard for decades, and Great Qin is now prosperous and peaceful. The government is clear and the military is strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
In addition, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and everything should be based on stability. If he rashly changes the national policy, if it causes turmoil, disaster may befall.”
The country was prosperous and the people were at peace. The people of the world lived and worked in peace and contentment?
Looking at this smiling old minister, Jiang Chen almost thought that he had heard wrongly.
The game sprite had already explained it very clearly.
The government was dark, the armaments were lax, there were bandits running amok inside, and there were enemies outside.
He was just short of smearing the words "I'm Qing" on his face.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the people were in dire straits.
Which citizen could live and work in peace and contentment in such a country? Did his mother know that he was so awesome?
The commoners you mentioned, I'm afraid you're not referring to yourself, right?
P.S. Originally, it would be a little funny for a small country to directly use a big country system like the Prime Minister and the Six Ministries. However, the main character would definitely have to make it bigger. In order to avoid the chaos caused by frequent changes in official titles, this was directly set up.
