Cheng Gong was also a somewhat cultivated person. He reached out to catch it, drank it without ceremony, and then saluted:
"Thank you. It's a pity that the tea in Huainan is only brewed by the prince."
After saying that, he sat directly on a chair and looked directly at Ximen Hao.
He is not afraid of death, so what else is he afraid of?
"Hahaha! That's right. I'm not as good as the King of Huainan in this tea ceremony, but when it comes to leading troops in war... Alas! My second uncle died miserably!"
Ximen Hao pretended to be miserable, making everyone roll their eyes.
Cheng Gong looked at Ximen Hao with a strange expression, this guy is so good at pretending!
"Cheng Gong! Tell me, what do you want?"
Ximen Hao changed his tone and went straight to the topic.
Cheng Gong stood up and bowed:
"I want your majesty to bypass the prince's only daughter, Ximen Rongrong. She has gone crazy and will not pose a threat to your majesty."
"That's right!"
Ximen Hao waved his hand.
Zhuge Qing on the side couldn't help but glance at the smiling Ji Wubing, and as expected, this guy's prediction was accurate.
"Also, let the little girl go. All she did was follow her father's orders."
Of course, Cheng Gong has not forgotten his daughter. If he doesn't put forward conditions at this time, he won't be the one.
"Can."
Ximen Hao nodded, even I dare to use it, let alone the other party's daughter.
"Is there anything else? Mr. Cheng must also be rich and wealthy, right?"
Cheng Gong smiled faintly:
"I want fairness, just like what His Majesty said when he fought with the second prince in front of the Qingyang Palace: Fairness!"
"fair?"
Ximen Hao looked at Ji Wubing and cursed in his heart: As expected, this sick dog has tricked him.
"You want to confront Xiao Ji?"
Cheng Gong's face turned cold, his eyes turned red, and he looked at Ji Wubing fiercely:
"I'm going to defeat him! Defeat this mad dog!"
"Ahem, cough, cough, this young master has accepted it. Your Highness, please give him justice."
Ji Wubing bowed.
"Hahaha! Okay! I will give you fairness! Mr. Cheng, if you are killed by Xiao Ji, I don't care. I only want capable ministers."
Ximen Hao looked straight at Cheng Gong, his eyes full of scrutiny.
Cheng Gong lifted his robe and knelt on the ground:
"The guilty minister Cheng Gong, long live my emperor!"
At this moment, he finally surrendered, and would use what he had learned throughout his life to defeat Ji Wubing!
Of course, the struggle between them is not about playing tricks on each other, but about who can win His Majesty's appreciation based on what they have learned.
"Hahaha! Mr. Cheng, please get up. Come and be next to Xiao Ji. Let's talk about business."
Ximen Hao pointed to the seat next to Ji Wubing. On the rectangular low table, apart from him, only Xiao Ji had an empty seat.
Cheng Gong was stunned for a moment, then sat next to Ji Wubing.
The two of them looked at each other, and at the same time there were sparks of dissatisfaction.
Ximen Hao smiled. He wanted to see his men have fighting spirit.
Suddenly, he understood the thoughts of emperors of all generations, just like he and Ximen Guang did at the time.
"Four of you, you are the only counselors I can use now. You also know that I am not familiar with the veterans in the court, and they are some old antiques with rigid minds. What I want is fresh blood, young people."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."
Four people bowed at the same time.
Although Zhuge Qing and Cheng Gong were older, they were still in their prime, and they had not yet been assimilated by those in the court who broke the rules.
"Okay, then I...fuck! This is so awkward for me!"
Ximen Hao suddenly cursed, which made the four of them stunned for a while.
"Then I will tell you what I think. I want to change the current political situation, which is the so-called: reform!"
"Reform? Your Majesty! How do you want to change it?"
Fox Prajna's eyes lit up.
The other party's mind was very wild, and she was looking forward to what other shocking opinions the other party would have to say.
Ximen Hao smiled faintly:
"Master Hao wants to abolish the system of hundreds of civil and military officials, and more importantly, abolish the system of three days and one dynasty, and ten days and one dynasty! Master Hao wants to set up a Senate and let the ministers in charge of each department enter the Senate, and work from nine to five
The system of... class!"
"work?"
The four of them were confused at the same time. This term was so novel.
"Hahaha! Come on, let me tell you in detail."
So, Ximen Hao began to talk about his thoughts.
First, we need to set up a Senate. I will not show up at ordinary times, and let the Senate members come to the palace to work every day and handle their own affairs.
The Senate is composed of chief ministers from various departments. There is no need to have a group of unimportant petty officials come to court every time. If we have the time, it is better to let them do more things.
Each department performs its own duties and handles matters reported below every day. Small matters are discussed and decided directly within each department, and major matters are reported to the emperor.
Of course, he only gave a general idea, and a specific system needs to be specified in detail.
But just like this, Ji Wubing and others' eyelids jumped when they heard it, and they were horrified.
What kind of reform is this? It simply breaks the system of every country in Tianqing Continent!
This way, they can only come up with one reason, and that is: the emperor is lazy!
Yes, in this way, there is no need to go to court at all. You only need to hold meetings with the ministers of the Senate every once in a while to understand everything.
Coupled with Ximen Hao's terrifying magical power, no one even needs to come, just the mirror image coming.
The most troublesome thing is the ministers of various departments. They will be as busy as dogs in the future.
The most damning thing is that Ximen Hao also set up an audit department in the Senate to keep an eye on these officials to prevent corruption, bending the law, or neglecting work.
"Four of you, what do you think of my idea?"
After Ximen Hao finished speaking, he took a sip from the teacup and moistened his throat.
The four of them frowned at the same time, thinking about Ximen Hao's thoughts.
They will not try to dissuade them, because since the other party has found them, they are asking them to help complete the system. They can only find out the shortcomings and then improve them.
Suddenly, Cheng Gong saluted and said:
"Your Majesty is far-sighted and forward-thinking. I admire you greatly, but I only have one worry."
"Haha, Mr. Cheng just said it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty's system is perfect. It is even said that under this system, each department will work harder, and the following matters will be solved quickly, improving efficiency. But I am afraid that Your Majesty will let go of all the power to the ministers.
I'm afraid then..."
Cheng Gong didn't say any more because he already understood.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, I will firmly hold the Qingguo army, including the garrison, in my hands!"
Ximen Hao smiled confidently, and his communications department was established. The Qingguo army would be mobilized instantly just waiting for his order.
Of course, if there is any change in any of the troops, his hidden flag will not be ignored.
"Ahem! Lao Cheng, Your Majesty and I have already made plans for this and will make arrangements accordingly."
Ji Wubing said.
"Lao Cheng? Sick Dog, do I know you well?"
Cheng Gong gave Ji Wubing a sideways glance, and he seemed to hate him.
"hehe!"
Ji Wubing smiled disdainfully, then turned away and stopped talking to Cheng Gong.
