Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 352 Arrangements, Father and Son Discuss Chapter

Qin Wu led his men into the imperial study.

At this moment, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was still busy reviewing the memorials sent from various places.

Then suddenly dozens of people appeared.

Qin Wu appeared in his spot, a spot reserved for Qin Wu that had never been moved since it was placed there.

Apart from Qin Wu, the others who appeared paused for a moment before immediately bowing to the Emperor of Eastern Qin.

"No gift."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin spoke calmly.

Only then did these dozens of people get up.

"Alright, I have reviewed your information and the results of the investigation. Your abilities are different, and I will make some adjustments to your positions later."

"You should be mentally prepared. If you have any ideas of your own, you can write them down and submit them to me."

"As for your cultivation levels, I have seen them. Some of you have cultivation levels that are a bit too low. You need to hurry up and improve your cultivation levels."

Qin Wu spoke calmly.

The situation in Dongqin now is different from before.

In the past, there were mostly ordinary people, but now, under Qin Wu's policy of universal cultivation, there are many geniuses among the people, and martial arts families are as numerous as fish crossing a river. Those with insufficient cultivation cannot suppress those people.

Therefore, one needs to have great strength to rule over a region.

"Your Highness, we all understand cultivation, but individual talents vary, so it's not easy for us to improve quickly."

One of the prefectural lords spoke up to explain.

It's not that they don't want to improve their cultivation, but rather that their talents are limited.

Their cultivation speeds differ.

Qin Wu understood this principle, but he didn't have any good solutions at the moment.

After all, treasures that can improve one's aptitude are rare, and even if they exist, not everyone is qualified to use them.

These things will be kept for their own people to use.

However, the cultivation environment is much better now. The cultivation domain has been improved, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is far greater than before.

Furthermore, with the opening of the secret realm, the domain has absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy and immortal energy from the chaos, which has greatly improved the current cultivation environment.

However, once the new capital is built and spatial turbulence is established, a cultivation ground can be set up inside, allowing some meritorious officials to cultivate there at a much faster pace than outside.

After all, the spiritual energy and immortal energy in the spatial turbulence area are many times stronger than those outside.

It is definitely a sacred place for cultivation.

"Well, you can improve as much as you can. With your current strength, you can barely hold down a prefecture in the nineteen continents. However, if you want to reach a higher position, your strength is insufficient."

"Therefore, if you want to advance further, you must improve your cultivation level."

"Especially since you are human, and have only just broken through to the Land Immortal Realm, how will you suppress a prefecture in the future?"

Qin Wu looked at the last ten people.

They were the ten weakest in cultivation. In the future, after Dong Qin's advancement, those weaker family forces in the core area would probably have to migrate to the nineteen continents.

These families may be the weakest in the Central Region, but if placed on the nineteen continents, they could definitely dominate one side.

It's not so easy for subordinate officials to suppress them.

"You did a good job this time. When you leave, take my reward with you. When you get back, govern your territories well and make sure there is no trouble."

"Also, when you get back, thoroughly clean up your territories. If anyone dares to resist and you can't subdue them, send a message back, and I will send someone to deal with them."

Qin Wu then gave further instructions.

Although these dozens of people all have some issues, they are within acceptable limits.

They also have their own bottom lines in their actions, so Qin Wu will not make things difficult for them.

Qin Wu understood the principle that "if the water is too clear, there will be no fish," and that there is always a glimmer of hope in everything.

Of course, if you cross the line, don't blame Qin Wu for being ruthless.

Everyone immediately understood Qin Wu's meaning, and they began to feel excited. They never expected to receive a reward from the Divine Martial King on this trip.

This is absolutely a stroke of good luck, like a pie falling from the sky.

However, they also knew very well that they were fortunate not to have made the wrong choice this time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare imagine what would happen to them.

"Yes, we understand."

After Qin Wu finished speaking, everyone immediately accepted the order.

"Alright, that's settled then. Many of you have families in the capital, so go back and have a get-together. We'll send you back in three days."

"Take care of the matters within your jurisdiction as soon as possible."

"Go back all!"

Qin Wu nodded slightly, gave a few more instructions, and then dismissed them all.

Next comes dealing with those two-faced scoundrels.

Trying to outsmart Qin Wu without even considering whether you have the ability to do so.

Everyone retreated.

"Only these few dozen people are left?"

After the dozens of palace lords left, the Emperor of Dongqin finally spoke up to ask a question.

"Well, some of the others are still usable, but their positions need to be adjusted."

"Many of them have serious problems. I'm going to deal with them directly this time. A bunch of self-righteous guys who dare to play tricks on me. I really don't know who gave them the guts."

Qin Wu nodded and said calmly.

His facial expression remained unchanged, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

"You decide what to do. Dealing with so many prefectural lords at once could easily lead to unrest."

"After all, our Eastern Qin is now a vast territory, and we can't completely control every place. You have to find the right balance."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin didn't say much, but offered some pointers.

To prevent Qin Wu from killing too ruthlessly, which could lead to a large number of vacant official positions in various regions and cause national instability.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This is also a good opportunity to see how much trouble those people are causing and to eliminate all the unstable factors."

"To avoid anyone causing trouble for me later."

Qin Wu didn't care.

He wanted to use this method to resolve all the unstable factors as quickly as possible.

It's also a piece of advice for everyone, setting a bottom line for them.

As long as he doesn't cross the line, he can pretend nothing happened; once he crosses the line, he's doomed.

The Emperor of Eastern Qin understood Qin Wu's meaning: he wanted to cut the Gordian knot and resolve these problems in the simplest and most direct way.

Although this may cause short-term turmoil, it may be a good thing in the long run.

Having thought this through, the Emperor of Eastern Qin said no more.

Anyway, with Qin Wu suppressing them, those people can't cause much trouble.

As long as the problem can be solved, that's fine.

"You figure it out yourself. By the way, when are you planning to ascend the throne?"

The Emperor of Eastern Qin did not want to say much, so he asked about Qin Wu's ascension to the throne.

He's been so busy lately that he hasn't had any time to cultivate, and he wants to find more time to do so.

"No rush, let's wait a while. The Central Region is still attacking the Immortal Sect. We'll wait until that's over, and the new capital will be built before the coronation."

Qin Wu said speechlessly.

Other emperors didn't want to abdicate and would only pass the throne on when they died, but his father was different.

She was always thinking about handing the throne to him.

He had no attachment to imperial power whatsoever.

"Whatever you say, I've already written the imperial decree, and I can pass the throne to you at any time."

"Also, I'm planning to have someone send the memorials to you, so you should familiarize yourself with them beforehand."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin spoke directly.

Qin Wu was speechless. The imperial edict for succession had already been drafted. How eager was Qin Wu to pass on the throne?

Now they're even preparing to give him all the memorials.

"As you wish!"

Qin Wu said helplessly.

It was bound to happen sooner or later anyway, and reviewing those memorials wouldn't take him much time.

Moreover, no one dared to submit any nonsense to him.

After all, he had killed quite a few people in the past for this matter, and he believed that no one was unafraid of death.

"That's settled then! I'll be going into seclusion tomorrow too."

When the Emperor of Eastern Qin saw that Qin Wu did not object, he immediately smiled.
