I'm really a villain

Chapter 2752: Consensus reached, the king leaves

Chapter 2754: Consensus reached, the king leaves

If Xu Zimo directly asked for the position of Minister of Personnel, they would definitely not be willing to give it to him right away.

It might take a long time to argue.

But if Xu Zimo wants to be the Minister of State Affairs, then he will take a step back.

The position of Minister of Rites is not that important.

Sure enough, the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Especially the ministers at the top, they exchanged eye contact with each other.

For them, this position is both important and not that important.

Because compared to the Grand Minister, he at least gave them a little room for relaxation.

Of course, these ministers also have their own tacit understanding among each other.

They don't even need to talk, they can understand each other's thoughts just by exchanging glances.

This is the tacit understanding that has been developed after serving as an official for so many years.

So soon, everyone reached a consensus.

Then give up the position of Minister of Personnel.

Anyway, the Minister of Personnel is important.

But there are other positions where there are checks and balances.

For example, the Minister of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for managing money.

As the saying goes, a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice.

Even if your Ministry of Personnel adjusts personnel appointments, what use will it be if you don't have money?

Together with the Prime Minister, other armies were in their hands.

The entire court is still controlled by them.

The emperor Xu Zimo will be directly sidelined.

By then, the order might not even allow them to leave the city.

Therefore, this situation cannot be resolved by just one or two official positions.

Of course, that's what they think.

But Xu Zimo had other ideas.

Originally, there were intense factional struggles and debates among these officials.

But now that Xu Zimo has appeared, they have become as close as a rock.

Instead, it helped them to come together.

So Xu Zimo needed to pry open a gap first, and then slowly expand the gap.

Until finally, I fell into it completely.

Xu Zimo also knew that too much is as bad as too little, and he shouldn't be too anxious.

After all, he had just become emperor.

If you take office directly, it would be too much to ask for all at once.

I guess this will force these people to rebel.

He wants to boil the duck in warm water.

……

At this moment, Zhou Bo, who was at the bottom, was the most excited one.

From being the Grand Priest, a symbolic official, he suddenly became the Minister of Personnel, a position of real power.

Just because he expressed his opinion.

Willing to support Xu Zimo.

Just because it's a timely help.

As expected, when it comes to things like promotion, there’s all this talk of studying hard for ten years and serving the country and the people.

It would be better to serve the emperor well.

Be able to gain the emperor's favor.

The speed of promotion is just like a rocket, soaring, soaring.

At this moment, Xu Zimo slowly came to the imperial chair and then sat down.

In an instant, countless civil and military officials began to kneel down.

This proves that everyone is willing to recognize him.

Even if you are unwilling to admit it deep down in your heart, it is just superficial approval.

This is enough.

Because this first step is successful.

The king's abdication played a big role in this.

Even if some people think that the king was coerced.

But after all, the king did not admit it himself.

Plus, they won't let this rumor spread.

In the past, people outside would mistakenly believe that the king was coerced and forced to abdicate.

So what do you ministers do for a living?

Are you in cahoots with that traitor?

So this matter, whether it is black or white, must have an accurate and unique answer.

That is the king abdicating. It was his own wish and no one forced him.

The ministers also respected the king's intentions.

……

After becoming emperor.

Immediately, the ministers began to make their reports.

The things they reported were all discussed secretly.

It's all just trivia.

Things happening all over the place.

For example, there is not enough food somewhere, or there is a flood somewhere.

They just wanted to use these trivial matters to trap Xu Zimo.

Leave Xu Zimo no time to escape and let him know that being an emperor is not that easy.

Or Xu Zimo will handle these matters.

Or he can just be a hands-off boss and delegate power to other ministers to handle it.

Either way, it's good for them.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Xu Zimo frowned slightly.

He said: "If there is anything, the six ministers and the generals of the four garrisons and four expeditions will handle it."

"I have only one request."

"If there is anything I need to do, my orders must be followed to the letter."

"As for the rest of the time, whatever you want to do, I can delegate authority appropriately."

This is what Xu Zimo thought.

And he doesn't do anything fancy.

Say it directly and clearly.

Not that thoughtful.

To put it bluntly, in Xu Zimo's hands, the Yanchi Dynasty is just a tool for him to fulfill his ambitions.

He had no intention of occupying this position for long.

He and his ministers benefited mutually.

He gives face to his ministers, and the ministers also have to give him face.

If you don't give him face, don't blame him for turning the table.

Hearing Xu Zimo's words, countless people quickly responded.

As for what they are thinking, no one knows.

Xu Zimo didn't care, just wait and see what action would be taken.

.......

Wait until the morning court is over.

Only Xu Zimo and the king are left in the Qilin Palace.

The king is of no use now.

After all, the throne has been abdicated.

He looked at Xu Zimo.

He asked: "What are you going to do with me?"

"Kill me, or imprison me?"

From what he saw tonight, Xu Zimo would definitely not let him leave peacefully.

After all, although he is no longer a king, he is still a threat.

If you go outside.

Perhaps some ministers who dislike Xu Zimo will continue to support him.

By then, everyone will respond to the call, which will cause trouble for Xu Zimo.

Therefore, since ancient times, most people who have come to power have not been in the right position.

No ex will have a good ending.

Either be killed or be imprisoned for life until death.

The king is ready.

In other words, the ups and downs of the past two days have made him see many things clearly.

There's even a feeling of seeing through the world and being relieved.

But Xu Zimo's next answer still surprised him.

Because Xu Zimo shook his head.

Said: "I won't do anything to you."

"I'm going to let you go."

"You are free to do whatever you want in the future."

"Aren't you afraid that I will rebel?" the king asked in disbelief.

"Then you try it," Xu Zimo couldn't help but laugh.

The king was slightly stunned.

Then he laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"It seems that you don't take me seriously at all."

"Maybe I'm not important to you at all. I understand."

At this moment, the king even wanted to thank Xu Zimo.

Be able to give yourself freedom.

But then I thought, the entire kingdom has been taken away from me, what is there to be thankful for?

.......

The king left.

in the afternoon.

He looked at the majestic and endless imperial city with nostalgia.
