Chapter 1636: Overtime (3)
However, even though this method was good, the local Squires and landlords might not agree to it.
A chief governor who had returned to the capital to report on his work stepped out and said loudly, ”
“Your Majesty’s plan is brilliant, but the timing is not right.”
Using the turbulent times as an excuse, he rambled on.
Of course, he couldn’t openly argue with huaiqing. Using war as an excuse was the best shield, and it did make sense.
The Imperial court currently did not have the ability to do this.
Huaiqing sat on the throne and listened to him expressionlessly. He looked down at the officials and said,
last night, I received a letter from Xu yinluo through his magic tool. He had a great victory in Chenzhou and killed more than 10000 enemies. Xu yinluo had defeated the transcendent cultivators of Yunzhou and killed the head of the earth sect in Qingzhou.
The throne room fell silent.
After a few seconds of silence, the Imperial censor of the left, Liu Hong, became ecstatic and shouted, ”
“God bless, God bless His Majesty!”
Joy spread throughout the hall, and everyone’s spirits were lifted, their faces full of excitement.
Ever since the supervisor’s “death,” the Imperial court had been in a low state. They needed such good news to cheer them up.
The officials who had come to the capital to debrief looked at each other in shock.

And the facts had proven that the Imperial court had the ability to do so.
………..
After the court was dismissed.
Minister sun caught up with Qian Qingshu and said with a sigh, ”
“I feel like I’ve returned to the time when Wei Yuan was around.”
He was referring to the situation when yuan jing was in power. Unlike Emperor Yongxing, yuan jing’s tactics and schemes could suppress the Wei and Wang factions.
Qian Qingshu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, ”
“No, Your Majesty’s ability far surpasses Emperor Yuan jing’s.”
Huaiqing’s ability to handle government affairs was by no means comparable to Emperor Yuan jing’s. The latter’s strength lay in the emperor’s mind, while the former’s ability was real.
The emperor’s series of tactics just now had made Qian Qingshu feel ashamed of himself for being a useless person.
Minister sun laughed.
“This is a good thing.”
