Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 2617

Chapter 2617: “...”

Emperor Zhou didn’t care too much about this matter.

There were many other things that he had to pay attention to.

One of them was naturally the matter of the officials in Ying City. After Ying City was established as Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City, there were more and more people who came here in hope they could grab a position.

Unfortunately, Emperor Zhou would not use just random people.

And there were only a few people from other kingdoms whom he decided to reuse in Ying City.

"How’s Minister Hao’s arrangement?" Emperor Zhou asked.

Minister Hao was one of the few people whom Emperor Zhou still used from Qi Xi Kingdom. After moving to Ying City, Emperor Zhou handed over his work to the others.

"Your Majesty, Minister Hao worked diligently," Prime Minister Lan replied.

Emperor Zhou nodded and didn’t ask about it anymore.

For now, the most important thing was for them to arrange the construction matter. Some people who were good at building had to be called to the north to help with it.

This wouldn’t be an easy job.

Unfortunately, before Emperor Zhou could focus on working, there was a commotion and a eunuch ran in.

"Your Majesty, Minister Xiao is here to see you."

Emperor Zhou took a deep breath when he heard this and felt some headache. The contribution of the Xiao Family was clear for them to see and the sharp movements that they made some time ago also made Emperor Zhou amazed.

But at the same time, he became wary.

The Xiao Family was a family with long history in Fei Yang Kingdom and if they were to make a move so suddenly, he was afraid that there would be many other people who were also doing the same in their Xiao Family.

Because Emperor Zhou knew that these noble families had their deep calculation.

"I’m busy. Unless there’s an emergency, I wouldn’t see him," Emperor Zhou said unhurriedly.

Even though the Xiao Family is powerful, but Emperor Zhou controlled the amount of power that the Xiao Family had. The officials under the Xiao Family might be involved in several ministries, but they were only in high position at one ministry.

In the other ministry, there were other people who had higher position and would not let the Xiao Family ate them easily.

Being the emperor, Emperor Zhou knew very well that he was playing a game of power, where he had to make sure the people below him would keep check with each other and none of them could possibly threaten him.

It was not easy.

But Emperor Zhou had done it ever since he was young, maintaining the stable yet also somewhat fragile court.

"The Xiao Family is getting too ahead of themselves." Prime Minister Xian frowned as he watched the eunuch left.

After Fei Yang Kingdom defeated Shi Long Kingdom, the Xiao Family had started to show their fangs. Right now, he had heard that there were some discords within the family, but some people were trying to gain more power.
