Chapter 51

He seemed to understand why everyone had fled in terror the moment he opened his mouth!

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

"If my own death is a small matter, but it costs the lives of my entire family, old and young, then that is a grave matter!"

Feng Quji sighed, finished speaking, turned, and left.

Only that young official remained, trembling all over!

At this very moment, only one thought occupied his mind: Should he go to Ying Su to beg for forgiveness?

If he begs for forgiveness, it seems he might be pardoned?

PS: Begging for flowers, begging for evaluation votes!

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

Zhangtai Palace!

In the court hall!

At this very moment, everyone had already completely dispersed!

Now, only Xiao He and Ying Su remained!

And at this very moment, as Xiao He looked at Ying Su again, panic and shock filled his heart!

Minister of Agriculture!

The Minister of Agriculture, one of the Nine Ministers of the Great Qin, is now mine?

At this very moment, he felt somewhat lightheaded, completely unable to believe it!

You must know, just a few days ago, he was merely a minor Chief Clerk in Peixian!

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

"This... this..."

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Shocked, Xiao He then knelt on the ground and bowed in tears before Ying Su.

Bowing to thank him for his great kindness, bowing to thank him for his trust!

Seeing Xiao He act thus, Ying Su immediately reached out to support him:

"No need for this!"

"I know you have talent; employing worthy men for the state is the Emperor's duty!"

"But... is it worth it for Your Majesty the Emperor to offend so many people for my sake?"

Xiao He wept; even now, recalling the scene just now, he felt shocked!

Not only shocked by Ying Su's trust and sacrifice!

But also shocked by Ying Su's dominance and methods!

You must know, this is the Minister of Agriculture!

One of the Nine Ministers of the Great Qin, the most powerful official post!

Yet Ying Su simply took it down with a mere flicker of lightness!

What kind of dominance is this!

Dominance aside, the key point is, he is a dominance that still speaks reason!

Those charges laid out before your eyes; you have not even space to defend yourself!

He has methods, and he is dominant!

Xiao He was convinced and submitted wholeheartedly!

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

Ying Su has offended too many people for my sake!

Although just now, all the civil and military officials in court raised no objections.

But anyone who is not a fool can see that they hold resentment in their hearts, and moreover, the resentment is immense!

Some might even be thinking of rebellion in their hearts!

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

To let him resume control of the court affairs!

What Xiao He wanted to say was: Is it worth it?

For a mere minor official from Peixian like me, is it worth it?

Xiao He cried!

Completely moved!

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

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

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

"But you need not worry; as long as you truly serve the country and the people, I will be your most solid backing!"

He spoke these words.

And these words moved Xiao He to tears; at that moment, he bowed his head to the ground before Ying Su:

"If Your Majesty treats me thus, how dare I not give my life?"

"Similarly, since the Emperor employs Xiao He so heavily, Xiao He will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty! Nor will I let Your Majesty the Emperor lose face before the hundred officials!"

"Here, I dare to ask Your Majesty the Emperor 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 before Ying Su!

And then... he turned and left!

Now, for him, the most important thing was not how to manage Qian Liang, but to settle people!

He must forge the Inner Prefecture Office into a solid iron plate!

Watching Xiao He's back, Ying Su smiled.

If he could not trust Xiao He, then what else could he trust?

Xiao He!

The foremost of the Three Heroes of the Early Han!

Liu Bang fought battles and lost every single time, yet why did so many people follow him with unwavering loyalty?

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

Xiao He managed Qian Liang; no matter what predicament Liu Bang faced, Xiao He could always ensure Liu Bang's army had enough to eat!

No matter how much the front-line soldiers resented Han Xin, they were all obedient before Xiao He!

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

Others said Zhang Liang was all talk, merely giving orders from the rear!

And still others said Han Xin only knew how to fight and understood nothing of human affairs.

Each of them bore some stain on their reputation, more or less.

But only Xiao He had no one cursing him!

In his own era, no one cursed him!

In later generations, even fewer cursed him!

From ancient times to the present, who mentions Xiao He without raising a thumb in praise, calling him awesome?

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

As for loyalty...

Ying Su smiled and could not help but open the system panel again to check!

"Ding! Host has greatly employed Xiao He and has obtained Xiao He's one hundred percent loyalty! Reward: one thousand points!"

"Hehehe..."

Looking at this system prompt, Ying Su smiled with great joy.

But thinking of Zhang Liang, Ying Su could not help but frown again!

The Three Heroes of the Early Han! Now he had already recruited two, leaving only Zhang Liang.

But this young man...
