After the morning court, Liu Guodong, Lin Shicang, Wu Daozi and other first-rank officials in the court followed Li Xiaoyao's dragon chasing team to the imperial study room.

In the imperial study room, the ministers received the gift from Li Xiaoyao and sat down in the audience. Li Xiaoyao sat at the desk on the stage, looking down at them and said:

"Dear friends, do you know why I called you, the first-rank officials in the court, to the Imperial Study Room today?"

Liu Guodong, Lin Shicang, Chen Guoliang and others all looked at each other and bowed: "I am afraid, please let Your Majesty make it clear!"

Li Xiaoyao sorted out his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "It is a critical period of the rise of the Han Kingdom, especially now that the war is approaching. I hope that in addition to doing our own job well, you must also do your best to assist the Ministry of War and do a good job in the logistics support of the army."

"I don't care whether you have any conflicts before or whether your camps are different, but in this extraordinary period, if there is a department that dares not cooperate or secretly stumbling at the Ministry of War, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"In a word, during the war, you must unconditionally meet all the requirements of the Ministry of War."

As soon as Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, the ministers stood up and bowed, "I will follow the order."

"Wu Daozi!" Li Xiaoyao shouted.

"I'm here!"

"When Ye Hongyuan returns to the capital, you will give him full responsibility for the affairs of the Ministry of War."

"Since the order."

Then, Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and said, "My dear friends, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers sat down.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Lin Shicang and said, "Lin Aiqing, your injury is not in the way, right?"

"Thank you for your concern. My husband's injury is no longer a problem." Lin Shicang bowed slightly.

Li Xiaoyao nodded and continued, "I call you all my dear friends today. I still have some things to discuss with you."

"Please make it clear to you!" the ministers bowed.

Li Xiaoyao smiled, no longer as serious as before, and then said, "Today, everyone can speak freely without being obsessed with the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects."

The ministers looked at each other, a little surprised.

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I want to ask all my dear friends, what is the most important thing between the king and the minister?"

"Loyalty!" Wu Daozi said first.

Liu Guodong frowned and then said, "Trust."

Li Xiaoyao nodded, looked at Chen Guoliang and the others, and smiled and said, "Chen Aiqing, tell me, if the Han Kingdom wants to become truly powerful, can I do it alone?"

"Your Majesty..." Chen Guoliang said cautiously: "Your Majesty is a talented person. Under your wise rule, the Han Kingdom will definitely become truly powerful."

Li Xiaoyao smiled, then stood up and walked downstairs, walked through the ministers, and said in a majestic tone:

"But I am just a person after all, with limited energy, and it is impossible to experience everything personally. Moreover, the territory of the Han Kingdom will become larger and larger. Therefore, you are the ones who can truly make the Han Kingdom stronger. I need your help to help me manage the Han Kingdom together."

"The court is my court, but the Han Kingdom is your common home with me."

"Your Majesty..." The ministers stood up one after another, their eyes full of emotion.

"I said, today, you all beloved friends don't have to stick to the etiquette of the king and the ministers, just treat it as if you are at your own home, sit down and sit down." Li Xiaoyao waved his hand.

The ministers sat down and looked at Li Xiaoyao in unison.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to issue a military order here. The food and supplies required by the Ministry of War will never be deducted by my Ministry of Revenue." Chen Guoliang stood up excitedly and patted his chest and said.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Shifang stood up excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, I have also made a military order in front of you. The new laws of the Han Dynasty will be fully implemented, and we will never bend the law for personal gain."

"We are willing to do our best to help Your Majesty complete his hegemony." The remaining ministers stood up and expressed their loyalty.

"Okay!" Li Xiaoyao shouted loudly.

Not long after, the ministers left the palace in excitement.

Wu Daozi came to Li Xiaoyao and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys we sent to Chu State were unable to bring Mrs. Nangong back."

"What's going on? Could it be that the King of Chu disagreed?" Li Xiaoyao frowned.

"Yes!" Wu Daozi nodded and said, "The situation in Chu and Han is tense now. The King of Chu may be considering the influence of the General's Mansion in the military. In addition, the King of Chu is already ready to move towards Licheng under the instigation of some military leaders. The reason why he has not yet attacked the city is because he is watching the situation in Hengcheng."

Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly and walked in the imperial study room. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You go and persuade Nangong Yue again to see if she can let her send a letter to Wu Qingshan. Be sure to delay me for three months."

"Your Majesty, last time you sang and reconciled with Weichen, I couldn't ask her to write a letter to Wu Qingshan. This time, Weichen is the only one, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Li Xiaoyao glared at him and said, "After all, it's your biological brother. Do you want to see the day when I kill him? Do you want to see your Chu army flowing into blood?"

"Thank you for your kindness." Wu Daozi knelt on the ground and said, "I am grateful to Your Majesty for not killing you for not killing."

"Get up." Li Xiaoyao shouted: "In front of me, there is no need to say these high-sounding words. The reason why I don't want to use force to solve the Chu State is that I don't want to lose too much labor, second, I still need a lot of manpower to build a canal, and third, I don't want to put too much energy into suppressing rebellions everywhere. What I need is a whole state of Chu State, a granary with prosperous manpower."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoyao's expression became cold and said in anger:

"I, I, do not allow anything to hinder my progress in conquering the world."

"No! I understand." Wu Daozi nodded.

"Get up!" Li Xiaoyao waved his hand and continued, "From now, you can be responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel! I will hand it over to Li He for management."

"I promise, I am following the order." Wu Daozi stood up and said.

For Wu Daozi, the position of Minister of Personnel is more suitable for him. Although he has been in charge of the secret guards of the capital for five years, he is far inferior to Li He in terms of inquiring about information.

Take the matter of incorporating Qianlong Guards after Li Xiaoyao took power as an example. Without Li He's secret help, it would be impossible for Wu Daozi's secret guards to find all the Qianlong Guards, let alone incorporating and killing them.

Therefore, Wu Daozi was not dissatisfied with letting Li Helai serve as the position of director of the Supervisory Office.
