Chapter 570: Dealing with Officials

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host for Lü Bu and others destroying the Song Kingdom of the Tianlong world. Specially rewarding the Host with 2 million National Fortune Value!"

Just as Zhao Xu was taken away, Liu Bian, who was cultivating at the Shaolin Temple, also received the system's notification sound.

"I did not expect Feng Xian and the others to be so fast in taking down the Song Kingdom."

Liu Bian heard the system notification sound and could not help but be surprised by the speed of Lü Bu and the others.

Subsequently, Liu Bian ended his cultivation, gathered Dian Wei and the others, and went to Kaifeng City together.

What everyone did not know was that with the destruction of the Song Kingdom, in the sky above the Imperial Capital of the Song Kingdom, Kaifeng City, an illusory golden dragon let out a mournful cry and slowly dissipated.

At the same time, the Great Han's National Fortune Golden Dragon also appeared in the sky above Kaifeng City.

"Yin~"

After a dragon roar, the Great Han's National Fortune Golden Dragon swallowed all the National Fortune power of the Song Kingdom.

Subsequently, the body of the National Fortune Golden Dragon turned into countless golden light spots again and disappeared.

The huge figure of the National Fortune Golden Dragon was seen by countless people in Kaifeng City with their own eyes.

"Divine Dragon, Divine Dragon, I saw the Divine Dragon!"

"It really is a dragon, may the Divine Dragon bless us!"

The uninformed people all knelt and prayed for the Divine Dragon's blessing.

"National Fortune Golden Dragon!"

Lü Bu and the others, who were used to this scene, took a look at the National Fortune Golden Dragon and continued with their own work.

After swallowing the National Fortune of Dali and the Song Kingdom, the Great Han's National Fortune Golden Dragon grew by another eleven zhang, reaching a size of seventy zhang.

It was one step closer to the Imperial Dynasty Realm.

……

Three days later, Liu Bian also arrived in Kaifeng City.

Imperial Palace, main hall.

After Liu Bian arrived, he gathered Lü Bu and the others.

"Pay respects to the Emperor!"

Seeing Liu Bian, Lü Bu and the four bowed to Liu Bian with awe.

"Four beloved ministers have worked hard, rise!"

"This subordinate thanks the Emperor!"

After the four rose, they looked at Liu Bian with reverence.

"Now that the Song Kingdom has been destroyed, only the most powerful Liao Kingdom remains in this world."

"As long as the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, others like the Jin Kingdom and Tubo will not be enough to fear."

"Moreover, the Martial Ancestor Realm powerhouses in this world have also been subdued by me. It is time for me to go back!"

After the four rose, Liu Bian said to them with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty, you are leaving already!"

Hearing that Liu Bian was actually returning to the main world, the four asked hurriedly.

"I have been in this world for quite some time, and from now on, there will be no Martial Ancestor Realm powerhouses in this world, so you can handle it."

Hearing this, Lü Bu and the four guaranteed solemnly:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; this subordinate and the four of us will definitely sweep away this world for you!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, now that the Song Kingdom Emperor Zhao Xu and the civil and military officials of the Song Kingdom have been controlled by this subordinate and others, please deal with them!"

Lü Bu reported to Liu Bian respectfully.

"How about this: bring them to me to see, and then make a decision!"

The Song Kingdom of this world, besides the Emperor Zhao Xu having some ability, did not have any capable people.

The only capable people like Zhang Dun and Yang Zhong had already been beheaded by Lü Bu and the others.

Now in the Imperial Court of the Song Kingdom, there was no talent that Liu Bian could look up to.

However, it was fine to demote these people to serve as low-level officials.

Moreover, Liu Bian was not afraid of them disobeying and doing things that harmed the people.

Before long, Zhao Xu and a group of Song Kingdom civil and military officials were brought in.

Looking at Liu Bian sitting high on the Dragon Throne, everyone was somewhat shocked.

They did not expect the mysterious Han Emperor to be so young.

Moreover, the rich Imperial Aura on Liu Bian's body, which was almost substantial, made them want to bow involuntarily.

They had never seen such aura; no wonder the strength of this Han Kingdom was so powerful.

"We pay respects to the Emperor!"

After reacting, everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Bian.

However, Zhao Xu, as an Emperor, did not salute and stood proudly in place.

"Since you have all surrendered to our Great Han Empire, I will spare your lives."

Liu Bian looked at the Song Kingdom officials kneeling below and said indifferently.

"We thank the Emperor for his grace!"

Sima Guang and others were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Liu Bian.

However, before they could be happy, they heard Liu Bian's voice change and say with majesty:

"However, from now on, you can only start from the grassroots level. If you want to be promoted in the future, you must make contributions to our Great Han."

"Our Great Han officials have always spoken by ability; the capable go up, the weak go down."

"I hope you will work hard for our Great Han Empire from now on; our Great Han does not raise idlers!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, everyone's hearts shook, and they hurriedly responded to Liu Bian:

"We obey the decree! We will definitely work hard for the Great Han Empire until our death!"

Hearing this, Liu Bian did not take everyone's words to heart but said to them with majesty:

"Then I will wait and see."

"Who among you is Su Shi?"

Following Liu Bian's voice, not far behind Lü Gongzhu, a young civil official stood out and responded respectfully to Liu Bian:

"Your humble subject Su Shi, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

At this time, Su Shi was looking at Liu Bian carefully, and his heart could not help but tremble.

For this Han Emperor, he was still very afraid in his heart.

"Appoint Su Shi as the Fourth Rank Vice Minister of Personnel of the Great Han Empire, responsible for the selection and appointment of officials in this world."

At this time, Liu Bian could only appoint Su Shi first.

This could be considered picking the tall among the short.

"This humble official Su Shi thanks the Emperor for his grace; this official will definitely not fail the Emperor's trust!"

Su Shi heard this, first somewhat disbelieving, and then thanked Liu Bian with an excited face.

He did not expect Liu Bian to reuse him so much; one must know that among the people at this time, there were at least a dozen people whose positions were higher than his.

"I think highly of you; I hope you will cooperate well with Lü Bu and the others in the future to capture this world as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; this humble official will definitely cooperate well with the generals!"

Su Shi heard this and responded respectfully to Liu Bian again.

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction and then said to everyone:

"Alright, you all go down first!"

"This official takes his leave!"

As everyone left, only Lü Bu and the four, plus Zhao Xu, remained in the main hall.

"Zhao Xu, I believe Feng Xian and the others have already told you about the situation of our Great Han Empire."

"As long as you are willing to submit to our Great Han Empire, I don't mind sparing you."

Liu Bian looked at Zhao Xu standing on the side and said to him with majesty.

Just a Zhao Xu; considering what he did for the Great Song in the original history, Liu Bian did not mind letting him go. ===== CHAPTER 571 =====
