Xiling's government and military affairs are now in chaos.

The people and ministers were in panic. Now Chu Chen, as the King of Xiling, wanted to lead his troops to the expedition smoothly, the prerequisite was that Xiling must be settled immediately.

So after formulating a detailed plan of war, Chu Chen ordered the housekeeper to send an order to ask several censors to participate in politics, the six ministers, and the Grand Historians, editors to come to see him in the mansion tomorrow morning.

Chu Chen had never entered the court before, and the court officials knew very little about him, and most of them did not know his confidant, so it was most appropriate to let the housekeeper of the Qing County Prince's Mansion pass on the message.

If anyone dares not come, he will be killed immediately.

But at this moment, all the officials who received the order were ecstatic and were too late. Who dared not to give the King of Xiling this face?

Even the Empress Dowager and Mr. Tang were killed, how many heads did they dare to go sideways with Chu Chen?

So the next morning, the palace, which had been silent for a long time, finally became lively.

Although the officials did not dare to make loud noises, popularity itself means lively. The officials who were named were wearing official uniforms and were neatly managed, carrying medicinal materials or treasures and antiques, walked into the mansion in high spirits.

Chu Chen sat in the main seat with a expressionless face, his eyebrows were calm and his tone was light: "I am currently the King of Xiling, and he is in charge of the entire twelve fiefs of Xiling. In the future, I will rely on you to assist me. A few days ago, my parents died suddenly, and I am in a state of mind and flawless handling of government affairs. I call you all over here today and I will give you a few words first."

The maid respectfully handed Chu Chen a teacup, and then handed it to the ministers in turn.

"Everyone has also seen this in the past few days that I am not a kind and tolerant person. I was not before, nor would I do it in the future." He picked up the teacup and gently scraped the foam with the tea cover. Chu Chen's tone turned cold, "I only have one requirement for the officials under my command, and do things seriously."

His eyes raised slightly, and his eyes that contained pressure were scanning the surroundings, making everyone feel cold: "Those who do things seriously, I will not seek trouble for you for no reason, but if you try to do something under my nose, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The hall was silent, and the officials who were still energetic just now had sweat on their foreheads, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

"I look gentle, but in fact I am a cruel and ruthless person at heart." After sipping tea, Chu Chen said in a light tone, "I am not as kind as my father, so you should never be lucky with me."

"As long as the person who is spread to me, I will not care about your identity and background, nor how many disciples you have under the complexity of your relationship. You only need to know... how many heads you have on your neck."

Everyone's sweat was one after another, and their clothes were soon wet.

Only for a moment, some officials with poor concentration began to unable to sit still, and their hands holding the teacup began to tremble uncontrollably.

Chu Chen slowly drank tea and then began to get to the point, "Xiling is now a fief of Ling Kingdom and no longer a dynasty rule. The official system will be adjusted from top to bottom. I hope you will make psychological preparations first."

What prime ministers, what secretary, what grand sects... will no longer exist.

The court officials in front of the emperor will become local officials. Unless they perform particularly well, they may be transferred to the imperial capital of the Ling Kingdom in the future and become an official in the capital.
