The list of people is attached below."

Xiao Cheng took the report, glanced at it quickly, frowned, and said unhappily:

"As soon as someone said this, Ma Minwen actually came?"

Feng Bao lowered his head and did not reply.

Xiao Cheng put down the report in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Let him in."

The young eunuch who came to report immediately responded, got up and carefully backed out.

After a while, Ma Minwen quickly walked into the Yangxin Hall, bowed and said respectfully:

"My lord, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng put away the unhappiness on his face and smiled warmly:

"Ma Qing, why are you asking to see me today?"

Hearing this, Ma Minwen coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, I am here today. Firstly, I am here for Grand Master Wang Xiao."

"Wang Xiao? What's wrong with him?" Xiao Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Ma Minwen said:

"Your Majesty, Grand Master Wang Xiao died on the battlefield. Whether he died fighting for the country or something else, he must give an explanation to the government and the public."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he was slightly distracted.

Wang Xiao’s funeral...

Seeing Xiao Cheng become silent, Ma Minwen did not continue to ask, but stood in the hall with his hands lowered, waiting for Xiao Cheng.

After a while, Xiao Cheng came back to his senses, shook his head and said:

"What I promised him before I went on the expedition will be fulfilled. Haha, I did agree to that sentence. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the authenticity of his life? Wang Xiao's merits and demerits in his life are all recorded without deletion.

Minus, let’s let those who come after us judge!”

Hearing this, Ma Minwen pondered for a moment and spoke again:

"I know that His Majesty is true to his words, but there are some things that we still need to pay attention to. If we do not reduce his prestige, there may be ambitious people who will raise Wang Xiao's banner in the future..."

In the ancient background, the information was never well-informed. For example, Xiang Yan, a famous general in the late Chu Kingdom, had been dead for many years, but Chen Sheng and Wu Guang still acted in his name during the uprising. As a result, some people actually believed it!

Wang Xiao's reputation among the people is not low. If he doesn't do something to weaken him, no matter how many years later, someone will falsely claim his name and start an army to cause trouble!

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he waved his hands indifferently and said:

"Give me a few years, and I won't believe it. There can still be people who just rely on Wang Xiao's name to make the people follow him and rebel."

With Goldfinger's various imperial cards, Ceka, and training cards, coupled with Xiao Cheng's vision, in a few years, not to mention unifying the world, it is not a big problem to make the country rich and the people prosperous.

As long as we can survive, who would lose their minds and rebel behind others?

Seeing Xiao Cheng's appearance, Ma Minwen was also touched in his heart.

Your Majesty is so open-minded now. As long as you act with some measure of propriety, do you still need to worry that you will not end well?

Ma Minwen bowed down for a long time and said sincerely:

"Your Majesty, it seems that I am being shallow."

Xiao Cheng looked at Ma Minwen who was bending down to salute, and asked again:

"Ma Qing just said that the incident behind Wang Xiao's death is one. What about the other two?"

Ma Minwen's heart suddenly jumped when he heard Xiao Cheng's question, and he quickly said:

"Your Majesty, I came here today at the request of many ministers of the DPRK and China to intercede for the arrest of officials involved in the case in the Tingwei Mansion these past two days."

Xiao Cheng nodded, his expression unchanged, and he asked casually:

"Ma Qing thinks that I shouldn't pursue the investigation any further?"

Hearing this, Ma Minwen quickly shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty has misunderstood! I dare not speculate casually, so if your Majesty has any plans, please tell me clearly so that I can make plans in advance."

Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked with interest:

"Make plans early?"

"yes!"

Ma Minwen nodded firmly and said:

"If your Majesty has no other plans, I would like to ask your Majesty to order the Tingwei Mansion to stop now. Nowadays, hundreds of officials in the capital are in panic. Just like back then, Wang Xiao tortured hundreds of officials in the capital, which has already affected the stability of the country's government.

, which is not good for the country!”

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"Then if so, what other plans do I have? What should Ma Qing do?"

Ma Minwen raised his head and said decisively:

"The minister must integrate and expand the officials of the Shangshutai in advance to prepare for the future of the Shangshutai to officially replace the court and handle state affairs."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Ma Minwen.

In his mind, with the momentum of great victory, when the prestige of the government and the public was rising, he wanted to purge all the officials and re-establish the court system.

The system of three ministers and nine ministers, in which the three ministers were in charge of the affairs of the state, put a lot of restrictions on imperial power. The six-ministry system in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was the system most conducive to imperial power.

Again, just copy your homework!

After all, it was an old fox who had been working under Wang Xiao for many years. It was easy to figure out Xiao Cheng’s intention of purging officials. But it was not easy when he realized that Xiao Cheng wanted to reform the court system!

Xiao Cheng looked at Ma Minwen and said half-jokingly:

"Ma Qing is smart. He said he didn't dare to guess my thoughts, but he guessed it accurately!"

Ma Minwen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty said this, but it makes me feel uneasy!"

Xiao Cheng waved his hand casually and said:

"Don't play tricks in front of me, it's useless! Your shrewdness, coupled with your ability to figure out what is best for you, are your abilities. Can I still punish you because of this?"

Hearing this, Ma Minwen felt a little reassured and quickly lowered his head and said:

"I'm worried too much. I'll go down now and make preparations in advance!"

Seeing that Ma Minwen was about to resign, Xiao Cheng suddenly said:

"Tomorrow I want to listen to Master Huikai's lecture. Ma Qing summons all the officials in the court. Come with me tomorrow!"

When Ma Minwen heard this, he blinked twice, then immediately shuddered, cupped his hands and said:
Chapter completed!
