Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 449: Serving as Prime Minister and holding great power!

"Silence!" A loud shout suddenly sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, making the eardrums of everyone present buzz. The next moment, with Gao Yao's sudden and loud rebuke, the originally noisy main hall suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop. For a moment, no one dared to say a word, and they all looked in the direction of Gao Yao cautiously.

Gao Yao's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he scanned the whole audience coldly. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, making people shudder. He spoke again: "Anyone who makes irresponsible remarks during the meeting will be severely punished!" His voice was not loud, but every word was weighty, hitting everyone's heart heavily.

At this moment, everyone was completely stunned, and no longer dared to act rashly. They stood there with their hands down, not daring to breathe. The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely depressing, as if even the air had solidified.

After a long while, Gao Yao saw that everyone had quieted down, so he slowly turned his head and looked at Gongzi Gao who was sitting in the first seat, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please continue."

Hearing Gao Yao's words, Gongzi Gao, who had been in a daze, seemed to come back to his senses. He calmed himself down, cleared his throat, and then continued, "I have recorded all the military achievements of my dear ministers in detail. After the new military positions are issued, I will reward you according to your merits. Xiao He!"

As Gongzi Gao finished speaking, a figure stepped out from the crowd. It was Xiao He. He walked quickly to the center, bowed deeply to Gongzi Gao, and said loudly, "I am here."

Gongzi Gao nodded, a look of relief on his face, and said slowly: "My dear Xiao He, you have made outstanding contributions to this king and the Qin Dynasty. From now on, I appoint you as the Imperial Censor. I hope you will not slack off in the future, and continue to be loyal as always, and continue to work hard for the Qin Dynasty!"

"Yes." After hearing what Gongzi Gao said, Xiao He also took the order and stepped aside. The Imperial Censor, the Grand Marshal, and the Prime Minister were the three highest officials.

The responsibilities of the Imperial Censor were roughly equivalent to those of the Deputy Prime Minister, but at the same time, he also had a vital mission - supervising all officials. This responsibility was extremely important. In simple terms, Xiao He had the power to check and verify the appointment and removal of all officials under Gao Yao's command.

Xiao He was not directly responsible for selecting officials, but whether these officials met the requirements and could be appointed ultimately had to be approved by him, the Imperial Censor. Of course, due to the differences in official positions, the corresponding approval processes were naturally different. But with the arrival of Xiao He, the entire Imperial Censorate would be gradually constructed and improved.

The young master shouted loudly, "Where is Cao Shen?" This was obviously in accordance with the established plan, and he began to call the roll one by one. This arrangement had actually been prepared long ago, and the young master Gao's announcement was just a formality.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shen stepped out from the crowd and replied, "I'm here." Despite this, his eyes still looked towards Gao Yao from time to time.

After all, Gao Yao had not disclosed any information about the appointment of these positions to the public in advance, so most people had no idea what positions they would take. Then, Prince Gao said loudly: "Cao Shen has a lot of strategies in leading the army to fight, and he will be promoted to the position of Grand Commandant from now on, ranking among the three highest officials. I hope you will not slack off in the future!"

"This... yes... I will do my best!" When Cao Shen heard that he was directly promoted to the position of Grand Commandant, he was stunned, with astonishment and disbelief on his face. He never thought that he would be promoted to such a high position in an instant, and a strong sense of unreality surged in his heart.

He subconsciously cast his eyes in the direction of Gao Yao, only to see Gao Yao smiling and nodding slightly. After receiving Gao Yao's affirmation, Cao Shen came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream, slowly stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness, lord. I will live up to your expectations and do my best to perform the duties of the Grand Commandant!" However, although he appeared firm and confident on the surface, Cao Shen always felt deep down that he was not qualified to take on this important task and believed that he was not qualified to sit on the chair of the Grand Commandant.

At this moment, Gongzi Gao's loud voice sounded again: "General!"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Gao Yao. Gongzi Gao continued, "General, you have made great contributions! From today on, I will promote you to the position of Prime Minister, in charge of all government affairs, and can make decisions on major military matters!"

Faced with the sudden promotion, he took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best to govern the country for you until my death!" As Gao Yao stood up, the entire court fell into a brief silence.

"Meet the Prime Minister!" A loud shout was heard, resounding throughout the court. The next moment, everyone in the court bowed as quickly as possible, their movements were uniform, and they shouted in unison to salute Gao Yao. The grand scene and the majestic momentum were much stronger than the previous treatment of Master Gao, and it was completely different.

Gao Yao smiled and waved his right hand to signal everyone to stand up. With this wave, everyone stood up slowly as if they had been pardoned. However, at this moment, although Gongzi Gao, who was standing aside, had expected this in his heart, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, a trace of anger still surged in his heart.

However, Gongzi Gao knew that the situation was stronger than the person at this time. The reason why he could still survive in the world safely was that he could still be used by Gao Yao. If he didn't want to seek death, he must not easily anger Gao Yao. So he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, his face was normal, and he didn't show any emotion at all.

At this time, Gongzi Gao on the throne said, "Okay, the appointment and dismissal of officials will be announced by the prime minister. I feel a little tired today, so I will take a rest first." After he finished speaking, Gongzi Gao slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing the king's words, everyone in the court immediately shouted in unison. The sound was deafening and echoed in the hall for a long time.

As Gongzi Gao left, someone quickly brought up a luxurious chair and placed it directly next to the throne, and Gao Yao sat on it.

"Feng Quji will be the left prime minister from today on, assisting me in handling government affairs." Gao Yao did not waste any words and started to make arrangements directly. The positions of the three ministers were very important, and Prince Gao must be responsible for the announcement. This was also the procedure, but Gao Yao could make all the decisions on his own for the appointments below this, and there was no need to follow any other procedures.
