"Okay, I won't beat around the bush. I believe that all of you here must have some "ability" if you can do well in the imperial capital. I will not pursue the past things. If you are a waste, just treat me as a waste. If you cause trouble, then you can Accompany the minister to West Street to hang out.
Cai Jiu, you should still be the tax internal affairs officer, but minister, you have to give me a suitable candidate. If you dare to fool me again and try to be clever, you can go and keep company with them."
Heaton waved the guard carrying the copper pole to leave, but Cai Jiu stayed behind.
The number of capable people in the imperial capital came and went, but there was not a single slap in the face.
Cai Jiu is really capable.
So what if you are a minister? This is not a party dispute. This is a world where force and power prevail.
The power of the emperor is far greater than everyone thinks!
Just like the ministers, they will not influence the emperor's thoughts, they can only guide him in the direction he wants from an early age.
In the final analysis, the existence of the [Supreme Throne] is the guarantee of the empire. Without the emperor, the empire will inevitably collapse.
"Your Majesty, I have committed too many sins as tax collector and I really have no face to continue to serve as tax collector, but I have a candidate."
"Um?"
Heaton saw that Cai Jiu was telling the truth.
"Lan!" Cai Jiu spit out a name and continued: "I just came to the imperial capital from a small city in the countryside some time ago. Now I am a clerk for the Kafei Internal Affairs Officer."
orchid.
Heaton knew the name.
A member of the "Hunters", the special police force of the Imperial Capital.
"I understand, but where is the minister?"
The most important thing now is the position of minister.
The minister is the face of the empire's civil servants and is in charge of all affairs. Heaton really knows nothing about taxation, education, and the like. There is no tool to deal with these, and he even gives orders based on his own ideas, fearing that the empire will fall. Faster than when the minister was in office.
"Your Majesty, there is really no suitable candidate in the imperial capital, but the former minister can!"
Cai Jiu was actually in a dilemma. The imperial capital was prosperous on the surface, but in reality it was smoky. How could anyone be the minister that Heaton wanted to be?
After thinking about it last night, he also thought of his former minister, Yuri.
Yuri only gave up the position of minister to Ernest after he abdicated. He was over sixty when he abdicated. Now Ernest has been minister for almost ten years, and Yuri is probably in his seventies. .
However, I heard that his retirement life is quite prosperous, he is getting stronger as he gets older, and he has a fifteen-year-old daughter who is famous for her martial arts.
Some time ago, my subordinates reported that his daughter wanted to join the army and gain experience.
If you can still give birth to a daughter in your fifties or sixties, with such energy, why not come to the imperial capital to serve His Majesty.
Cai Jiu recommended Yuri with the mentality that he would die as a Taoist friend but not as a poor Taoist.
"Former minister?" Heaton didn't know who the former minister was. He only knew the characters in the comics who had more plots. He couldn't remember the supporting character who died in the appearance.
"Former Minister Yuri is a good man who is well-known in the countryside for his charity after retirement. Moreover, during his reign, he managed the country in an orderly manner and made the country stable. I heard that her daughter recently led the villagers in training to fight against bandits. She is also a capable person. ..."
Cai Jiu picked and picked and said everything he could.
The country is probably stable, at least more stable than it is now when rebels are everywhere.
But in terms of ability, he is probably just mediocre. However, Yuri has been in the position of minister for nearly twenty years and has rich experience. Due to his reputation, he cares a lot about people's livelihood.
"Then let's recall him to the imperial capital first. Lan, the tax and internal affairs officer, whom you recommended, can just take him to the palace in the afternoon. As for you, I have other plans."
Let Cai Jiu step aside and Heaton continue to arrange the next thing.
"General Nadjeta!"
"I'm here!"
"You are responsible for leading the city defense guards in the empire. What do you think of the situation of the guards?"
"The Imperial Guards are all freeloaders, extravagant and extravagant."
Nadjeta was merciless. During the few months she served in the empire, the city defenses were empty, and there were many people who were just dawdling to get paid.
Even when he was on duty, the military uniforms were not neatly worn, loose and bloodless.
Compared with the Western Army where he belongs, the gap is not even a little bit.
"Can General Nadjeta temporarily take over the post of General of the Guards to reorganize the military equipment?"
After Nadjeta came to the imperial capital, Heaton never thought of letting her go back.
Wouldn't it be overkill to go back and resist foreign nations? Moreover, it would be very difficult for the revolutionary army to instigate Nadjeta in the imperial capital.
Although the possibility is very small now, we should be careful not to think otherwise. Nadjeta is a real person who thinks for the people.
"What about the Western Army?"
Nadjeta didn't expect this. Didn't she say well that she would still be dispatched after getting rid of the minister? His Majesty didn't discuss it with her in advance.
"What do you think about the Guards going?"
"No, Your Majesty, the Guards are so vulnerable that foreign nations may take advantage of them!"
It was impossible for Nadjeta to watch Heaton act arbitrarily. The deployment of the army was not a trivial matter.
The Western Army guards the border, has a clear division of labor, and has its own combat system and methods of dealing with the enemy. In the past, the Guards would only cause chaos and have an impact on the morale of the army.
"General Bude, who is the general in charge of the Imperial Guards?"
Heaton thought that he didn't seem to know who was in charge in the imperial capital.
"General Nanga Kidd and General Xinghemi."
Bud responded.
?
Why are there two of them? How come the generals are still together in the imperial capital?
There was height before, now there are two more, and there is Bude at the top.
As a result, the guard strength is the weakest.
"Two generals."
Heaton tried shouting.
"I'm here!"
Two two-meter tall men walked out of the team. They were still huge and full of muscles.
"General Nanga Kidd is responsible for the city defense, and Xinghemi is responsible for the palace guard. However, due to the intervention of the ministers, the two generals had no real power."
General Bude introduced Heaton, and also explained why the two men failed in their duties.
Bude is more familiar with these two men.
"What do the two generals think of the Guards?"
No opinion!
"All obey your Majesty's orders."
"Then let's arrange it like this first. General Nadjeta will stay in the imperial capital for the time being. As for the western border, Adjutant Rewa will temporarily manage it. General Rewa on the southern border will be called back to Beijing. General Esdeath will remain unchanged and continue to guard the northern border.
The imperial capital's defense force is too empty, so General Nadjeta, who is good at military management, is the first choice. For the sake of the stability of the empire, General Nadjeta must agree."
Heaton single-handedly blocked Nadjeta's escape route for the sake of the empire and the people.
However, Nadjeta didn't have much resistance. The imperial capital was indeed the top priority.
In just a few months, she was able to completely see the true face of the officials in the imperial capital. Fortunately, the emperor, who was only eight years old, could clearly see the crisis in the imperial capital at such a young age, and even jointly killed the ministers.
This is like a glimmer of light that will once again illuminate the empire shrouded in darkness.
