In the Xuanzheng Hall.
Emperor Qian had yet to recover from his shock.
Yan Luo had already ordered righteously,"
"Hanlin Scholar, revise the new policy.”
"The reward for farming can remain the same.”
"However, all policies that suppress merchants will be deleted!”
"Change it to 'increase the business tax according to the scale of the business'!”
"This can prevent collusion between officials and businessmen and put an end to monopoly.”
"Alright, once the changes are made, it can be promulgated. This is also His Majesty's intention.”
Cold sweat broke out on the scholar's forehead. He hesitated and said,""This…"
"Hmm?"
"Didn't hear clearly? Do you want me to say it a second time?"
Yan Luo glanced indifferently at the scholar and minister, showing his authority without being angry.
"I'll do it now…"
The scholar couldn't bear the pressure and left in a hurry.
Emperor Qian had a look of disbelief on his face.
The Prime Minister's words were actually more effective than hers?!
What did he mean by 'His Majesty's will'?
Did she say that she agreed?
Damn it!
Who was the emperor?
"Prime Minister, you…"
Emperor Qian's face was ashen with anger, and his chest was heaving up and down.
"I do have something to say.”
Yan Luo interrupted slowly.
"Lu Yi, Liu Kaicheng, and Jiang Haibo have made a lot of achievements in the local government.”
"He should be promoted. He can return to the Imperial City to take up his post and increase his official position by one rank.”
Emperor Qian was even more furious when he heard that.
Without hesitation, he immediately rejected!
"Since when did promotion become so easy in the eyes of the prime minister?”
"Your suggestion, I will not pass!”
"If they want to be promoted, they'll have to train for another three to five years!”
How could Emperor Qian not know what Yan Luo was thinking? Wasn't he trying to promote his own people so that he could take control of the entire imperial court?
Dream on!
Yan Luo smiled nonchalantly."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. You'll know when you see their achievements.”
"The late emperor had always been fair in his rewards and punishments, and I believe that His Majesty was the same.”
Yan Luo gave him a look, and an official immediately handed over a stack of documents.
Emperor Qian merely flipped through it casually and didn't even have the intention to take a look at it.
She knew very well that Yan Luo must have done his homework.
Even without looking at it, she knew that the information was absolutely true and reasonable.
However, how could she be willing to compromise and promote Yan Luo's subordinates?
"Regarding the matter of promoting a few officials, we still need to think about it carefully.”
Emperor Qian suppressed his anger and said word by word.
Yan Luo had a faint smile on his face and didn't say anything.
The Minister of Revenue and the other important officials had already spoken.
"Your Majesty, these officials are indeed capable. They have been honing their skills in the local areas for several years and have made many achievements.”
"In the past, the previous emperor praised them.”
"We can't delay the promotion any longer. Otherwise, it will chill everyone's hearts!”
"Several of us have personally reviewed it. The Ministry of Personnel has also seen the information. There are no problems.”
"Your Majesty, please approve!"
The ministers pressured Emperor Qian again!
"Since you all agreed, why are you still asking me?”
"Can't you just decide?!”
Emperor Qian's face was gloomy. He was obviously furious!
"I don't dare!"
"We are terrified…"
The ministers lowered their heads and pretended to be humble.
"Humph!"
"Retreat!"
Emperor Qian shouted coldly and left.
He had been like a supporting character during the morning court sessions.
Yan Luo was the real protagonist!
What was the point of such a court meeting?
When the late emperor was still in power, she had heard that this prime minister had the power to rule the court and had the ability to cover the sky with one hand.
He didn't expect that he would only truly experience the terror of the other party after he succeeded to the throne!
This was the situation after the late emperor had exterminated and banished many of Yan Luo's officials!
If he was at Yan Luo's peak, how powerful would he be?
As the new Emperor, wouldn't she have no room to speak?!
Ding! Congratulations to the host for strengthening your authority!
Not long after Emperor Qian left, a system notification sounded in Yan Luo's mind.
[Reward obtained: World-managing Talent template!]
Yan Luo raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Just like the Divine Soldier template, this 'statecraft' template was equivalent to having an additional top-notch talent for governing a country!
After the court session ended, many ministers had not left.
Instead, they surrounded him and complimented him endlessly.
"The Prime Minister is truly talented!”
"He has a unique understanding of the new policy. It can be said that he hit the nail on the head!”
"The promotion of a few officials is also based on merit!”
Yan Luo glanced at everyone indifferently.
He discovered that some of them were his subordinates.
A portion of them were neutral!
Those neutral people were even hinting at bribing Yan Luo!
"Lord Prime Minister, this humble servant has just purchased some top-notch pear wood furniture.”
"I have many antique paintings and calligraphy at home. I sincerely invite the Prime Minister to come and admire them!”
" A few foreign singers have just arrived at my residence. They are beautiful and moving. I would like to invite you to gather at the Prime Minister's residence…"
Seeing this scene, Yan Luo secretly laughed in his heart."Hehe, these fellas are just following the wind.”
However, he naturally did not reject these people. The more, the better!
It would be a great force to rope in all these neutral ministers!
"Sure, sure."
"I am interested in furniture, antiques, singing skills, and so on!”
"However, I have been busy recently. If you can send those things to the Prime Minister's residence, it will save me a lot of time.”
Yan Luo's serious appearance made everyone secretly wipe their sweat!
This was clearly bribery!
As for those who left angrily, they were either Emperor Qian's trusted aides or the empress dowager's men!
Yan Luo could see it clearly.
"In the Bureau of Military Personnel, the vast majority of people were once loyal to the old emperor.”
"As for the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Censorate…it seems that many people have secretly sided with the empress dowager.”
The Minister of Rites, the two Assistant Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Imperial Censorate, and the few supervisors were too lazy to even bother with Yan Luo.
It could be seen that they were determined to stand on the Empress Dowager's side!
Of course, among the people who came to flatter him, there were probably some who wanted to infiltrate him and become spies.
However, Yan Luo was not worried at all!
"How can it be so easy to get both sides?”
"If you take my benefits, don't even think about going anywhere else…"
He sneered in his heart, but on the surface, Yan Luo had an amiable appearance.
Not only did he accept bribes, but he also wanted to tie these officials to his chariot of power!
