Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 268 I can finally put down my burden

Zagreus looked at the two people who were pulled back by luck and put down his hand awkwardly. It seemed that it was not realistic to kill these gods by brute force alone. Just now when the two were dying, destiny or the way of heaven hidden in the fragments of the world took action and used luck to pull them back.

This must be that the hidden Heavenly Dao has discovered something and knows that once these gods die at his hands, it will be disadvantageous to him. But it doesn't matter. The monk can escape but the temple cannot. Where is the foundation of their dynasty? Although these two gods are not dead, they are also seriously injured and need a lot of luck to recover. At least they will not be able to take action for a while.

"Wang Shun, let the released crystal apostles take action now."

Wang Shun nodded, then said hesitantly: "By the way, Your Majesty, there are several concubines and princesses of the previous emperor who have been asking to see Your Majesty recently. What do you think..."

"Let them all go back and stay here honestly. Those with families will be taken back, and those without families will be arranged to live in the palace in the suburbs. By the way, tell them to behave properly as their imperial concubines and princesses. I will allow them to live without worries for generations. But if anyone is dishonest, send them directly to accompany the Grand Empress Dowager!"

"Yes, then will the court be held as normal tomorrow?"

Zagreus put down the script in his hand and looked at the zombie ministers who were still writing furiously. "Forget it, give them some more time. Let my beloved ministers practice their skills on the accumulated memorials in the next few days. You can hold court in three days!"

"Yes!"

Zagreus looked at Wang Shun's departing back and collapsed on the table like a deflated balloon. He never thought that being an emperor would be so tiring. If other dynasties did not have good fortune to protect him, he would have wiped out the dynasty alone. Unfortunately, there is no if, so he might as well just be an emperor for a while longer.

three days later

This was also the first time that Zagros had officially attended court. After his treatment, the zombie ministers were no different from ordinary people. These people stood aside separately, bending over their desks and reviewing documents in an orderly manner.

On the other side were the officials who escaped the first wave of purges. They were all recalled at this time. After a wave of purges, the hall was obviously much emptier. Many court officials were standing there trembling. They looked at the strangers opposite them and although they were puzzled, they did not dare to ask questions. Fortunately, several old officials who had been closed to visitors in the hall before were recalled by Zagreus, which gave these people some comfort.

When everyone saw Zagreus come out and sit on the dragon throne, all the officials knelt down and shouted "Long live the Majesty". Zagreus couldn't help but think that ten thousand years for mortals were too short, and for him it was perhaps just one year older. However, since it was his first time attending court, he should still give these people some face.

"Well, everyone, get up."

Looking at the people who were cowering in fear, Zagreus knocked on the table and said, "I know there have been a lot of rumors among the people recently, saying that I am a tyrant or a dictator, but I just want to ask if you have anything to say about me being the new emperor of Nanzhao?"

The hall suddenly fell silent. After waiting for a few seconds, Zagreus looked at the silent crowd and said with a smile: "Very good, since you all have nothing to say, then I will say it!"

"Wang Shun, Kailin, listen to your appointment. From today on, you will be the left and right prime ministers of Nanzhao State, responsible for all matters of the country. Anyone who pretends to obey but secretly disobeys or obstructs will be executed first and reported later. If there is resistance, their entire clan will be executed!"

At this time, the civil and military officials standing on the right were startled and looked hurriedly at the old men standing in front, but these old men all kept silent, and even the old prime minister did not look away. Everyone knew what was going on and kept silent, but they still wondered in their hearts, who are these two people and why they have never heard of them before.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Wang Shun and Kailin walked out from behind the curtain and appeared in front of everyone. But when everyone saw them, they thought that Wang Shun was just one of them, as he had been following this Majesty since he came to power. Some people had already known about it, but Kailin next to them was actually a woman.

"Why is she a woman?", "How can a woman be an official?"......

In an instant, some courtiers looked at each other, and then began to whisper. Although the voices were small, they were clearly audible. At this moment, Karen took a step forward suddenly. Her delicate body instantly exuded a powerful aura, like a surging wave directly pressing towards everyone.

Everyone present felt this terrifying pressure. Their faces turned pale and their throats seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand, and they could no longer make a sound.

Kailin scanned the group of people in front of her with a sharp look, and said coldly: "Why can't women be officials? Are there any of you who are dissatisfied? If so, you can stand up and compete with me now. Whether it is a fight of words or a fight of fists, I will accompany you to the end! However, if after today, there are still people who dare to say one thing in front of you and another behind your back, and pretend to obey but secretly disobey, then don't blame me for being ruthless! I haven't killed enough of those noble families in the capital who don't know how to live or die and disobey His Majesty. If you don't want to follow in their footsteps, you'd better be obedient!"

Her words were like thunder exploding in everyone's hearts, and every word was filled with majesty and murderous intent, making people tremble with fear. The entire court fell into a deathly silence, and no one dared to say another word, and even breathing became cautious.

"Haha, the Right Prime Minister is talking about those who don't listen. You don't have to be nervous. Now the Right Prime Minister is in charge of all external affairs, and I am in charge of all court affairs. You can just do your job in the future!"

After Wang Shun saw that Kailin had calmed everyone down, he also stood up and tried to smooth things over with a smile. However, everyone knew that in recent days, not only had many noble families died, but also many royal relatives had died at the hands of this person. At this time, he stood up and spoke with a smile, and everyone felt that he was a smiling tiger who was more terrifying.

"Thank you for sharing His Majesty's worries. From now on, we will also do our utmost to assist the two prime ministers and jointly enhance the prestige of our Nanzhao nation!"

At this time, the old prime minister who had been pretending to be stupid began to congratulate the two of them, and when the others heard it, they immediately reacted and followed suit.

Zagreus pretended not to have seen what had happened before, and waited until everyone was quiet before continuing, "Since you, my dear ministers, have no objection, then this matter is settled!"

"We will follow His Majesty's orders!" everyone echoed.

At this time, Wang Shun stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, I am now in charge of the government affairs of the court. Your Majesty still needs someone to serve you. I recommend Eunuch Cui Xiu to take charge of the internal affairs of the palace!"
