Chapter 46

He seemed to understand why everyone ran away in fear the moment he opened his mouth!

"You are still young; do not speak recklessly in the future!"

"Dying yourself is a small matter, but implicating your entire family is a grave one!"

Feng Feng Qiji sighed, turned, and left.

Leaving only that young official trembling all over!

At this very moment, he had only one thought in his mind, and that was... should he go to Ying Su to plead for mercy?

If he pleaded for mercy, would he be pardoned?

PS: Seeking flowers, seeking rating tickets!

043. A mere Zhang Liang, can I not handle you?

Zhangtai Palace!

In the imperial court!

At this moment, everyone had already dispersed!

Now, only Xiao He and Ying Su remained!

And at this moment, as Xiao He looked at Ying Su, he felt both panic and shock in his heart!

Minister of Agriculture!

The Minister of Agriculture, one of the Nine Ministers of the Great Qin, was now his?

At this moment, he felt a bit lightheaded, unable to believe it at all!

One must know, just a few days ago, he was merely a small registrar in Peixian!

Yet in just a few days, he had become the Minister of Agriculture!

"This... this..."

"Your Majesty!"

Xiao He was shocked, and then, he knelt on the ground, weeping and bowing to Ying Su.

He bowed to thank him for his great kindness, and to thank him for his trust!

And seeing Xiao He like this, Ying Su immediately helped him up:

"There is no need for this!"

"I know you have talent; employing the wise for the country is the duty of an Emperor!"

"But... Your Majesty, is it worth it to offend so many people for your humble servant?"

Xiao He wept; even thinking about the scene just now made him feel shocked!

It was not just shock at Ying Su's trust and sacrifice!

It was even more shock at Ying Su's dominance and methods!

One must know, this was the Minister of Agriculture!

One of the Nine Ministers of the Great Qin, the official position with the most real power!

Yet Ying Su had taken it away so effortlessly!

How domineering this was!

Domineering was one thing, but the key was, his dominance was also reasonable!

With those charges laid out before you, you didn't even have room to argue!

He had methods, and he was domineering!

Xiao He was convinced and impressed!

But at the same time, he was also very worried!

Ying Su had offended too many people for his sake!

Although the civil and military officials had no objections just now.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could see that they held resentment in their hearts, and great resentment at that!

Some might even be thinking of rebelling!

At the very least, they would have to invite Ying Zheng out!

To let him take charge of the imperial court again!

And what Xiao He wanted to say was, was it worth it?

Was it worth it for a mere registrar from Peixian like himself?

Xiao He cried!

It was entirely out of being moved!

But Ying Su sighed: "You can be moved, but... it is too early to be moved now!"

"I have offended so many people for you; they dare not do anything to me, but they certainly dare to make things difficult for you!"

"Whether you can sit firmly in this position depends on yourself!"

"But you don't need to worry; as long as you are truly working for the country and the people, I will be your strongest backing!"

He spoke out.

And these words almost moved Xiao He to tears; at that moment, he bowed directly to Ying Su:

"Your Majesty treats me this way, how could I not serve with my life?"

"Likewise, since the Emperor has employed Xiao He so heavily, Xiao He will certainly not let Your Majesty down! Nor will he let Your Majesty lose face before the hundred officials!"

"Here, I dare to ask Your Majesty to rest assured, three days! Three days later, please inspect the Ministry of Agriculture!"

"I will use everything in the Ministry of Agriculture to put Your Majesty at ease!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed heavily to Ying Su!

And then... turned and left!

Now, for him, the most important thing was not how to manage the money and grain, but how to manage the people!

He had to forge the Ministry of Agriculture into an iron wall!

And watching Xiao He's back, Ying Su smiled.

If he couldn't trust Xiao He, then who else could he trust?

Xiao He!

The head of the three heroes of the early Han!

Liu Bang fought battles and lost every time, so why did so many people follow him so loyally?

Besides Liu Bang's ability to gather hearts, the biggest reason was Xiao He!

Xiao He managed the money and grain; no matter what predicament Liu Bang encountered, Xiao He could always ensure Liu Bang's army was well-fed!

No matter how much the frontline generals disagreed with Han Xin, they were all obedient in front of Xiao He!

In later generations, some said Liu Bang was incompetent and only gained the world through deceit and cunning!

Others said Zhang Liang had a name but no substance, merely pointing fingers from the rear!

Still others said Han Xin only knew how to fight and didn't understand human relationships.

Each of them had more or less stains on their reputations.

But only Xiao He was never cursed!

No one cursed him in his era!

And even fewer cursed him in later generations!

Throughout history, who hasn't given a thumbs up when mentioning Xiao He?

Therefore, regarding this person's ability, Ying Su was one hundred percent confident!

As for loyalty...

Ying Su smiled and couldn't help but open the system panel again to check!

"Ding! Host has employed Xiao He heavily and has gained Xiao He's one hundred percent loyalty! Reward: 1000 points!"

"Hehehe..."

Looking at this system notification, Ying Su smiled extremely happily.

But thinking of Zhang Liang, Ying Su couldn't help but frown!

The three heroes of the early Han; he had already collected two, and only Zhang Liang was missing.

But this kid...
