Sitting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Wuji looked at the bamboo slips in his hand.

Hou Ying sat beside him, waiting for his orders. What Wei Wuji was in his hand was Zhao Kuo's reply. Zhao Kuo often sent knights to send him letters to tell him everything he had seen in various parts of Zhao State. Wei Wuji just took a few casual glances and put the bamboo slip aside. Hou Ying asked with a smile: "What did Ma Fujun say again?"

"It's his experiences and greetings in various parts of Zhao State."

"Then what did he see?"

"What he saw is no different from what we saw in Wei State." Wei Wuji said seriously. When Hou Ying heard Wei Wuji's words, he just smiled bitterly and did not ask again. Wei Wuji sighed and said, "Kuo has passed Liuyang and cannot come back in a short period of time."

Hou Ying pursed his lips and asked again: "Have you really made up your mind? Is this really worth it?"

"It's worth...he's going to change everything, I believe him, what about you?"

"I believe in you."

"Then please make arrangements." Wei Wuji ordered. Hou Ying slowly stood up and bowed towards Wei Wuji. Then he walked out of the inner room. Wei Wuji stood up and sorted out his clothes. He had always been lazy and never cared about his clothes. The nobles who could drink with their guests naked were afraid that they would only be him and Jingyang of Chu. Wei Wuji had prepared his clothes, pulled out his sword, and wiped them seriously.

King Zhao just invited the nobles from China not long ago, and now, Wei Wuji has invited them again.

Since Wei Wuji arrived in Zhao State, he has made many friends and got along well with the nobles of Zhao State. He is generous, not care about the details, and loves drinking. These nobles are willing to accompany him to drink. Wei Wuji has a lot of visitors, and these visitors are also the shadow of Wei Wuji. They often find visitors from other nobles to make friends with them. Therefore, Wei Wuji quickly gained a foothold in Handan.

Wei Wuji's disciples visited almost all the nobles in the country. When they heard that the prime minister invited them to the banquet, they did not refuse. They happily agreed to him, but the false prime minister Yu Qing and a few others were very resistant to this. Yu Qing drove the disciples out. He hated the banquet very much. At the same time, he was very disappointed with Wei Wuji's intention to hold the banquet.

However, Wei Wuji's guests refused to give in. Standing outside Yu Qing's door, another guest came, bringing Wei Wuji's letters. Wei Wuji personally invited him. Yu Qing then walked out of the house helplessly, but his face was still not very good.

Tian Dan was also unwilling to come. Wei Wuji went to invite him in person. I don’t know what they were talking about, but Tian Dan actually agreed to Wei Wuji.

From Lieutenant Zhao Bao to General Lian Po, Tian Yue, Censor Zhao Hui, Shi Gan, Zuo Shi Pang Qing, Bo Wen Shi Tian Dan, Fake Prime Minister Yu Qing, Si Kou Dong Chengzi, Zuo Si Guo Lou Sui and others, almost none of the officials in the palace fell. When the night gradually became dim, these wise ministers appeared in Wei Wuji's courtyard.

King Zhao gave Wei Wuji a large courtyard, close to the palace, so that he could summon Wei Wuji at any time. Several nearby courtyards were also bought by Wei Wuji and connected into a piece to accommodate his guests. Therefore, so many talented people arrived here, so it would not make the place crowded. Wei Wuji's guests came out to welcome these guests. In the courtyard, there were seats and tripods.

In such a season, the wind is not too cold. It is also a good enjoyment to light a candle in the night to hold a banquet. The mutton in the cauldron is rolling up and down, emitting a strong fragrance, and all kinds of fruits are placed on the table, which is very rich. The nobles praised Xinlingjun's generosity, straightened their bodies, and waited for the beginning of the banquet. They just waited for a moment and saw Wei Wuji walking into the courtyard. Wei Wuji led Tian Dan into the courtyard.

Everyone looked at Tian Dan with some surprise, and didn't know how Wei Wuji persuaded him. After all, it was difficult for King Zhao to invite this person.

Wei Wuji leaned over to salute everyone, and everyone returned the salute. Wei Wuji then sat in the upper position with a smile. Whether it was the host or the domestic identity, he had no problem sitting in the upper position. The ministers sat beside him. At the order of Wei Wuji, the banquet officially began. The ministers were surprised to find that Wei Wuji had not drunk a drop of wine. He was dressed neatly, and changed his past casualness and began to truly look like a prince of a great country.

Wei Wuji greeted everyone and continued his banquet. The retainers were busy around him. Wei Wuji's guests also left the courtyard to help. Wei Wuji looked at the ministers of Zhao State, raised his hands, and stopped everyone's conversation. He then smiled and said, "This time I invited everyone to the banquet, not only because of my friendship with the second and third sons, but also because of the responsibility of our country's minister, I want to discuss political affairs with you."

"Hahaha, please tell me, we will obey your instructions." Zhao Bao asked drunkenly. He had drunk a lot of wine, his face was red and his eyes were blurred.

Wei Wuji sat upright, looked at everyone, and asked, "What I had ordered before is to rectify the administration of Zhao State, restrain his disciples from getting close to each other, dismiss the incompetent villains, and recommend talents. How are the two and three sons doing?"

"We all did what you told me. Please rest assured. I have already ordered my disciples and restrained them." Zhao Bao replied again. Wei Wuji nodded and waved to the side. Immediately, Hou Ying held the bamboo slips and walked to him. Wei Wuji took the bamboo slips, raised his head, looked at Zhao Bao, and said, "Your disciples are leaving and serve as lieutenant assistants. The day before yesterday, he just killed a young man from Handan and stole his wife."

"Your wife's brother, De, was a prison guard in the custody of the clerk. She accepted bribes three days ago and used refugees to replace the two tortured criminals and let the criminals go. These two criminals brutally killed a mother and child."

Wei Wuji read a few more words, and the drunk Zhao Bao suddenly stood up and woke up. He looked at Wei Wuji in shock, widened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "I don't know these things. I will scold them. Please forgive me."

"You want to scold me, please scold me now." Wei Wuji said, looking behind him, and suddenly walked out of eight disciples, each escorting the prisoners, and pushed them to Wei Wuji. Zhao Bao recognized them. They were all their disciples and relatives. The mouths of these people were blocked and they were sobbing and unable to speak. Zhao Bao was about to speak, but Wei Wuji put his hand down, and the warriors drew out their short swords and stabbed them directly into their backs.

These people fell to the ground, roaring and squirming, struggling for a long time, and finally, they didn't move any longer.

Zhao Bao's eyes were red, and he fell down, and screamed angrily, "Ji~Wu~Ji~". He read Wei Wuji's name word by word and roared, "What did you do?!" Wei Wuji stared at him coldly, drew out the short sword, leaned over and cut off Zhao Bao's wife and brother-in-law, lifted his head up, threw it directly into the big tripod in front of him, looked at Zhao Bao hideously, and asked, "This is the flesh of a villain, do you want to taste it?"

Zhao Bao was so scared that his face was gone. He took a few steps back and fell to his seat suddenly. He looked at Wei Wuji in front of him with a trembling look, unable to speak.

Wei Wuji signaled again, and another warrior escorted the officials and walked out. Wei Wuji picked up the bamboo slips that fell on the ground, looked at the divination history not far away, and said, "The three county magistrates you recommended for the king are all cruel and shameless villains. They dared to increase the stipulated tax six times! They forced nearly 10,000 people to death! I said before that the recommended person made a mistake, and the recommended person would suffer the same punishment. I give you a chance to correct him, but you actually want to help them destroy the evidence of crime?!"

Wei Wuji roared angrily, and a group of guests rushed over from around. They were wearing armor and holding short swords. Everyone at the banquet was already shocked by what was happening in front of him. There were only a few people, not afraid. Lian Po narrowed his eyes and was still drinking his wine. Tian Dan was still eating fruits. The rest were scared, especially after they were surrounded by Wei Wuji's visitors.

Wei Wuji ordered that a warrior immediately stepped forward and pulled out the magistrate, and he was directly killed.

"How dare you kill me? I want to see you..." Before he even finished speaking, he was pierced through, spitting blood and fell to the ground.

Wei Wuji continued to order that batch after batch of people were sent to everyone. These people were not only officials around Handan, but also officials from Dai County, but also Yanmen County. They could not imagine how Wei Wuji caught them and brought them back, unless he had such an idea very early and had different emotions and investigated and arrested them for this day.

Seeing the officials brought by Wei Wuji, the censor Zhao Hui was trembling. Wei Wuji glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, after you learned my order, you promoted several officials you recommended and sent the evil servants to Dong Chengzi. You performed your duties well." Wei Wuji waved his hand, and immediately a servant came forward and put them in front of Zhao Hui with a plate of gold.

"The officials who shelter the evil and oppress the people will be executed, and those who reform themselves and recommend the wise can receive rewards." Wei Wuji said again, and then he continued to kill people. Wei Wuji killed many officials, not only officials, but also ministers, and he killed several of them. The entire courtyard was covered with blood. Everyone was kneeling and almost soaked in blood.

There were three disciples of Dong Chengzi who had a lot of bad deeds, including Rong. Wei Wuji did not kill Rong because Rong did not conceal his crimes. He killed the other two disciples who shouted wronged. Then he looked at Dong Chengzi. Wei Wuji asked seriously: "How should the disciples punish his head of the family if they make mistakes?" Dong Chengzi, as Si Kou, stood up tremblingly.

He has always been very close to Wei Wuji, but he has never seen such a terrible side of him. He only felt a chill behind him and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. Seeing Wei Wuji's expression gradually getting impatient, Dong Chengzi said just now: "The law does not stipulate...I think...can be forgiven..." Listening to Dong Chengzi's deformed voice because of fear, Wei Wuji couldn't help but smile.

"I think the head of the family should be asked to compensate the person who was hurt by his disciples and pay the gold and silk that he had greedy for. What do you think?"

"You're right."

Afterwards, every time Wei Wuji dealt with a minister, he had to follow Dong Chengzi's advice. When the courtyard was full of corpses, Wei Wuji asked the warriors to clean up. The warriors who stood behind the ministers were eyeing him finally left, but even so, these ministers did not dare to move. They were all frightened. Even if Wei Wuji smiled again and discussed the next thing gently with them, they were very frightened.

Wei Wuji proposed to comprehensively rectify the administration of officials and let the recommenders be responsible for the people he recommended. If they shelter, the two of them would be punished the same. Later, he proposed to recommend the local people to the palace, the towns of 50,000 people, one person every year, and two people would be recommended every year. For these talents recommended from the local area, they should pass the assessment and be assigned to various places to serve as officials.

No one dared to object, and everyone agreed. Even Lieutenant Zhao Bao, nodded foolishly at this moment. The scene just now scared the King of Zhao's Zhongfu half of his life, and he is still a little dazed.

"I want to set up a school room in Handan to recruit noble children. What do the Ersanzi think?"

“Very good, very good.”

"You're right."

"I want to recruit the position of a small official in the vacant area. Regardless of his origin, he can participate in the assessment. Those who pass can get the vacant. What do Ersanzi think?"

"Okay, very good."

Wei Wuji immediately determined a new way to recruit talents. This was negotiated with Zhao Kuo. However, Zhao Kuo was preparing to wait until he returned to Handan to implement the two together. The ministers did not know why Wei Wuji cared about the administration of the government so much, nor did he know why he killed people randomly. However, they were indeed afraid. In Zhao State, no ministers had been killed for a long time since the current King Zhao ascended the throne.

Everyone was used to such a leisurely and comfortable life, and was used to the favor of King Zhao. Such a scene seemed to hit them hard.

The warriors finally moved the bodies away. In the strong smell of blood, Wei Wuji smiled and discussed with everyone about the governance of Zhao State. Rectifying the administration of Zhao State was only the first and most critical step. The administration of Zhao State was already rotten to the core, and it would not solve the problem without killing people. Zhao Kuo's tours in the country could make local officials slightly restrained, but he could not scare these beloved talents in the palace.

When Wei Wuji ended the banquet, the ministers fled out of the courtyard in panic.

A disciple had already helped Wei Wuji prepare a carriage, and Wei Wuji was about to rush to the palace.

Hou Ying sniffed the disgusting fishy smell and looked at Wei Wuji again, his eyes full of helplessness.

Wei Wuji looked at him and smiled, and he asked:
Chapter completed!
