The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 796 Meeting
Outside Qian'an Gate, under the imperial steps, a group of Guozijian students had already stood still under the arrangement of the accompanying ceremony officer.

Although they all lowered their heads at this moment, they couldn't help secretly looking at the palace gate in front of them, and they would be scolded by the ceremony officer immediately.

"Your Highness is here, kneel down to welcome you!"

Hearing the ceremonial officer's loud reminder, all the people present knelt down one after another, and then saluted inside the palace gate.

"Your Majesty waits to kowtow to His Highness!"

Walking to the gate of the palace, looking at the students in front of him, Zhao Yanxun smiled and said, "Please get up!"

Everyone got up one after another, but they didn't dare to look around at this time, because the one standing in front of them was King Yong.

Zhao Yanxun's fierce reputation, they stayed in the capital for so long, they felt the deepest.

In front of such a decisive king, no one dared to be presumptuous in the slightest.

Seeing the hundreds of people in front of him, Wang Tinghe's mind suddenly changed.

There is indeed no shortage of officials in this world. Zhao Yanxun has appointed so many officials this time, so he can do the same next time.

Officials who opposed the imperial court, no matter whether they were dismissed from office or imprisoned or beheaded, would soon be replaced by these newcomers. In addition, Zhao Yanxun's invincible and powerful troops made the world really mess up.

At this moment, Zhao Yanxun has begun to speak to the students.

First, they praised their loyalty to the imperial court, and then said that such loyal and upright people must be reused, so they decided to award them official positions, hoping that they would make greater contributions to the imperial court in their new positions.

"Everyone, disasters are falling in the sky right now, and all peoples are in dire straits. It's time to make meritorious deeds!"

Pointing at everyone, Zhao Yanxun said more solemnly: "I really believe that among you... there will be a famous minister, a virtuous minister!"

Most of the people present were young people in their 20s, and now they are full of energy.

After listening to Zhao Yanxun's passionate speech, they all became impassioned and determined to make contributions in their hearts.

Although Zhao Yanxun is a rebellious superior, his powerful skills make everyone believe that he will be a great king.

Thinking of those virtuous and famous ministers who were still shining brightly in Taizong's reign until now, how could everyone at the scene not be fascinated.

"Long live Your Highness!"

"Long live Your Highness!"

When Zhao Yanxun finished his speech, there were enthusiastic shouts at the scene.

But after shouting and shouting, the slogan changed, and finally became "Long Live the Emperor".

Anytime, anywhere, these people want to persuade people to come in, everyone needs an emperor too much.

Faced with these shouts, Zhao Yanxun didn't say anything to stop them, but handed over the scene to the two cabinet ministers, and he himself turned around and entered Qian'anmen.

"Silence... silence!"

After being repeatedly reprimanded by the ceremony officer, these young officials finally calmed down, and all their eyes focused on the imperial steps.

"That one is the chief assistant Wang Ge, the one next to him... seems to be..."

"That's Old Lu Ge!"

"Old Lu Ge? So it's him, he's not being punished...that's how it is!"

While everyone was discussing, the two cabinet ministers had already exchanged opinions.

I just heard Lu Chaowen say: "Everyone, go to the Ministry of Officials next, and I will test you later, and then decide on the appointment of officials!"

In fact, Zhao Yanxun added this provision temporarily in order to build momentum for Lu Chaowen.

When the two cabinet ministers left, the ceremonial officer guided everyone present and walked slowly to the palace gate, where the six departments were located outside the palace.

Although these people left, Zhao Yanxun's affairs did not end.

After only a dozen minutes of leisure, he met with two more officials.

Huang Yuanqing and Yu Chengyao are the best among the first batch of students in the Lizheng School.

The two of them did a great job in the local yamen. Later, when Zhao Yanxun raised his troops to Jingnan, the two of them were responsible for the logistics transfer task. They successfully completed the dispatch plan of the Changshi Division and ensured the supply of food and grass for the entire army.

The two of them showed up at Qian'an Temple today to report on the situation of grain adjustment in the Central Plains.

Now that the autumn harvest is complete, although there is a lot of food, it is unevenly distributed, and it is necessary to mobilize food relief.

The army that wiped out the zombies in various places also needs to adjust food supplies for military supplies, and the two of them have a lot of things to do.

After hearing the report of these two people, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm very relieved to have you on business..."

"You are working in the household department, and you are currently holding the title of principal. Now you can be promoted to be a doctor, so that you can handle errands in the future!"

The two of them are only working in the household department, but they are basically not under the management of the household department. Instead, they act directly under Zhao Yanxun's order.

Such an official, as long as there are no mistakes in the future, it is basically not a problem to be in the center.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Looking at the two young officials in front, Zhao Yanxun signaled them to stand up, and then said: "There are two most urgent matters right now, one is to distribute the grain to various places, and the other is to transport the southern grain to the Central Plains!"

"Huang Yuanqing is in charge of the first one, and Yu Chengyao is in charge of the second one!"

Distributing food to various places is cumbersome but simple, and collecting food from the south requires a battle of wits and courage with local forces.

It can be said that Zhao Yanxun handed over the difficult job to Yu Chengyao, which obviously recognized his ability more.

"The minister takes orders!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun continued: "It's rare for you to come back, so I won't keep you alone, go back and reunite with your family!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, I will take my leave!"

After the two saluted, they slowly exited the hall.

It wasn't until they left Qian'anmen that the expressions of the two of them became relaxed.

Only Yu Chengyao sighed and said: "I have been traveling for many days, and although my mother has arrived in Beijing, she has not been able to see her... How unfilial!"

Although he was blaming himself, he still couldn't hide the high spirits on his face.

Now that Jane is in the emperor's heart, she will surely rise to the top in the future, how can he be unhappy!

But Huang Yuanqing, who was on the side, said nothing at the moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Yuanqing, why do you look like this? Did you encounter some difficulties?"

As a good friend, Yu Chengyao naturally has to care about one or two.

But at this time, Huang Yuanqing stopped, so Yu Chengyao could only stop.

Behind the two of them, the tall emperor stood majestically, reflecting golden light under the sunlight.

"Half a month ago, you sent food to Hedong County, and more than 300 civilians died, right?"

Yu Chengyao never expected that Huang Yuanqing would bring up such a thing here and now.

"What do you mean?"

"I asked if you were?"

After a few breaths of silence, Yu Chengyao said solemnly: "Yes...but there is no way, I will tell you in detail later!"

No matter how you say it, such things are disgraceful, so Yu Chengyao didn't want to say more, and he spent a lot of effort to suppress this matter.

But Huang Yuanqing didn't intend to let it go, and then asked: "What do you mean there is no way?"

At this moment, no matter how good the relationship was, Yu Chengyao felt angry in his heart.

"For His Highness's great cause, many people can die. Isn't it normal to sacrifice for great things?" Yu Chengyao roared in a low voice.

But Huang Yuanqing sneered and said, "For Your Highness' great cause? I think it's for your own merits?"

"You look at me like that?" Yu Chengyao asked in disbelief.

"You have to transport food when it rains, you need to transport food when monsters are rampant, and you need to transport food when manpower is insufficient... It's all because you don't take care of your subordinates that so many people died!"

Huang Yuanqing's ability to criticize these things shows that he himself took care of these aspects and also completed the task on time.

Yu Chengyao knew about this, so he didn't know how to refute Huang Yuanqing's accusation.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Yuanqing asked again: "As you said, these people died for His Highness' great cause, but why...you didn't tell His Highness when they died?"

"Before, I had heard about some things in Longyou where food was being transferred to supply military supplies. At that time, I didn't believe that you were such a ruthless person!"

"Now it seems..."

Huang Yuanqing originally wanted to speak from the bottom of his heart, but he and Yu Chengyao were best friends after all, so he still saved face for Yu Chengyao.

"From now on, you can do it yourself!"

After saying that, Huang Yuanqing passed Yu Chengyao and walked straight to the outside of the palace gate.

In the same place, Yu Chengyao's expression kept changing, and finally he let go of his clenched fist.

"Extreme times, extraordinary means..."

Looking at Huang Yuanqing's back, Yu Chengyao murmured: "Those who do big things don't care about small things. Even if His Highness knows it, he will definitely not make a big fuss like you because of some untouchables!"
