After the coronation ceremony, 'Lei Haoyan' and the courtiers began the court meeting.
Now that the Shoddy Prince had gone into seclusion at the Dragon Vein, the ones standing at the front were not Prime Minister Mo Linhui, but two white-haired old men with serious faces.
These two were relatives of the Thunderfire Dynasty's royal family, and they were here to assist the new Emperor.
Although they were called assistants, they were only a part of it. After all, the new Emperor needed advice on how to deal with the country's affairs.
However, it was more of an observation to see if 'Lei Haoyan' was suitable to be Emperor, and they would make an evaluation of him.
Then, the royal family would decide if 'Lei Haoyan' could be a puppet Emperor or truly hold power himself.
These two white-haired old men could be considered Lei Haoyan's grandfather, and they were Lei Duanyi and Lei Duanhai. They were standing straight and staring at the person on the dragon throne.
Leng Shiqi's soul clone knew that as long as he didn't make any big mistakes in the next two to three years, there would be no problem.
Moreover, if he could make some wise decisions, he might be able to take control of all the imperial power in advance.
Now, the first thing the new Emperor did after ascending the throne was to confer titles and appointments.
Some of the courtiers present would be demoted to idle positions, some would retire and return to their hometowns, and some would be promoted. As for what the outcome would be, it would be up to the Emperor to decide.
This was also why Eunuch Gao had spent so much effort to nurture his own forces. Only when his wings were strong enough could he show his value and keep his position as one of the Four Great Chiefs.
After Leng Shiqi became one of the Four Great Chiefs, Eunuch Gao knew the result. He would definitely continue to hold on to this position.
Although it was possible for the Four Great Chiefs to form cliques for personal gain, it showed that Eunuch Gao had sharp eyes and had contributed greatly to the Thunderfire Dynasty's talents.
In particular, Leng Shiqi had been put in an important position by the Shoddy Prince. Just this point alone was enough to stabilize Eunuch Gao's position.
Afterward, 'Lei Haoyan' took out an imperial edict, and the old eunuch beside him immediately took it and walked to the front of the stage, reading out the names and positions one after another.
Immediately, some people in the main hall were happy, while others were sad. But in the end, they all had to kneel down to accept the decree and express their gratitude.
Among them, Delta Aurigae was also appointed as the Deputy Executor of the Discipline Department. Her cultivation was now at the middle stage of Gang Spirit Realm, which was a whole realm lower than Leng Shiqi, but her cultivation speed was also amazing.
Not long ago, she had completed an extremely dangerous mission and gained a lot of merits. Thus, she caught the attention of the King of Poor Governance.
In addition, Wu Deyao, Di Chuan, and Zhuge Puhe were all promoted. Moreover, most of the people who were promoted this time were young people. They were to build their own team for the new Emperor.
At the end of the imperial edict, Leng Shiqi was also appointed as an Imperial Guard.
For his current identity as one of the Four Great Chiefs, being an Imperial Guard with a Blade was nothing. However, the key point of this position was not power, but trust.
The emperor's trust in him!
To a certain extent, this was more important than any reward!
Many ministers looked at Leng Shiqi with envy. They could imagine that Leng Shiqi was about to become the favorite of the new Emperor, and there were so many benefits.
The last appointment was temporarily added by Leng Shiqi's soul doppelgänger. As long as he became an Imperial Guard with a Blade, he would be qualified to meet the Emperor often without arousing suspicion.
Leng Shiqi and his soul doppelgänger were telepathic, so there was no need for them to discuss any secrets. However, in this way, it would create an illusion that Leng Shiqi was a favored minister.
In the future, no matter what the emperor's soul doppelgänger rewarded him, it would not be surprising.
The two royal relatives, Lei Duanyi and Lei Duanhai, looked at each other. The list on the imperial edict was originally prepared by the King of Poor Governance, but there was no last item.
At this time, the soul doppelgänger transmitted a sound to them, "Elders, before the emperor left, he specially told me that Liu Xingzhi could be put in an important position.
The emperor has already given Liu Xingzhi the power of acting commander of the Dark Thunder Guards. I can't think of any other reward right now, so giving him a Blade Guard is just right. "
Hearing this explanation, Lei Duanyi and Lei Duanhai nodded their heads. This way, not only did they give a reward, they also showed the emperor's love for talent. Furthermore, they did not give Leng Shiqi any real power. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"Your Majesty, it's rare for you to be so thorough." Lei Duanyi also transmitted a sound, his voice filled with satisfaction.
After announcing all the appointments, the most urgent and serious matter for the Thunderflame Dynasty was how to deal with the Spirit Cultivator Sects!
A month ago, Six Directions Spirit Sovereign and many other experts from the top sects barged into the palace and almost razed it to the ground, causing the Thunderflame Dynasty to suffer a great loss.
Although they retreated in the end, it was still like a sword hanging over the head of the Thunderflame Dynasty!
After that, the Thunderflame Dynasty also made some moves, such as improving the Thunderflame Heaven Punishing Array. The various Discipline Division and Dark Thunder Guards were all keeping an eye on the various sects, and even some of the combat troops guarding the surrounding borders were mobilized.
Even so, the upper echelons of the Thunderflame Dynasty were still worried. How could they guard against thieves every night? Rather than blindly defending, they might as well think of other ways.
Mo Linhui walked forward and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, this old subject thinks that how to deal with the Spirit Cultivator Sects, especially those top sects, is the most important matter for the Thunderflame Dynasty. I hope that Your Majesty can make a decision."
Lei Duanyi and Lei Duanhai both looked at 'Lei Haoyan' on the dragon throne. He had just ascended the throne and had already encountered such a troublesome matter. They also wanted to see how he would deal with it.
'Lei Haoyan' muttered to himself for a moment and said, "That day, when the various top sects attacked the palace, I was not there, so I would like to hear your opinion first."
A general opened his mouth and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is impossible for those top sects to always unite. Moreover, there is already enmity between them.
This general believes that while they are unable to react, the Dynasty will destroy a few top sects with lightning speed like last time!
Let them know the consequences of offending the Thunderflame Dynasty! "
"Otherwise, do you know that the people who came last time were only the tip of the iceberg of the top sects?"
Someone immediately refuted him, "Even if the Dynasty destroys a few more top sects, the remaining Sky Origin Stage experts will still be several times more than the Dynasty. Furthermore, doing so will only expand the conflict between the two sides to the point where they will not rest until one side is dead."
"This subject thinks that we should first befriend a few of the top sects. As long as we destroy their alliance, they will become a pile of loose sand and no longer be a threat."
"Let the Dynasty lower their voices and curry favor with them?
Impossible! "
The courtiers immediately began to speak one after another. They were mainly divided into two sides, the main ones being in favor of war and the main ones being in favor of peace. None of them could convince the other, and none of them could come up with a method that satisfied everyone.
When the courtiers did not have a good idea, Leng Shiqi stood out, "Your Majesty, this subject has a suggestion."
