And at this moment, several people have already been rotated, finally reaching the second to last person.
"Bill Hughes."
"I am here." Bill Hughes stepped forward.
"I discovered that you have an exceptional talent for coinage, researching the Fish Coin, possessing all kinds of superpowers, and extremely suitable for promotion... I command you effective immediately to rebuild the three coin factories of the Great Tang, appoint you as the second-grade Vice Minister of Revenue, and in select regions, begin the trial issuance of Fish Coin."
As these words fell,
Everyone nearby was stunned.
The reform and issuance of currency is a matter affecting the entire fate of the Great Tang.
This Fish Coin must possess unimaginable potential.
"Your Majesty..."
Bill Hughes spoke up: "Fish Coin is a rule-specific product produced by the Spirit Realm... My talent does not rely on myself but on this specialized product of Fish Coin."
"I am aware..." Emperor Tang's voice came from above, "Unexpectedly, after the Journey to the West, the rules of that world have become particularly powerful... I will move the Spirit Realm to near Chang'an City, transform it into a Coinage Workshop, and use it exclusively to produce currency for the Great Tang."
Zhu Zhengwei was silent for a few seconds, not expecting such a thing to happen.
But it is also understandable.
The world nurtured meticulously, with special and powerful Celestial Dao Rules... Naturally not comparable to those randomly generated small worlds within the territory of Great Tang.
Being recognized is only natural.
However, with the Spirit Realm brought here... it would be troublesome.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this moment, after Bill Hughes paid his respects, only then did the full Great Tang court officials realize that there was actually one more person who had not been appointed.
Based on past conventions,
The greater the merit, the later one is ranked.
Yet before them, the second-grade official in charge of national coinage power is already the top-tier second-grade official, even more powerful than some nominal but powerless first-grade officials.
So who ranks higher than this position, could it be Great Tang's... Prime Minister?
"Ghost Witch Doctor."
"I am here." Zhu Zhengwei stepped forward, his expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.
"You, alone, completed 70% of the work at the Chariot and Horse Institute, unprecedentedly. I appoint you as the Minister of the Ministry of War, entering the Hall of State Affairs."
As soon as these words fell, heaven and earth were shocked.
Because this is the prime minister position.
As they guessed, the prime minister position of Great Tang.
Here, Great Tang operates with multiple ministers, perhaps the ranks are somewhat different.
A first-grade rank doesn't guarantee you the position of prime minister; even the grade may not need to be first, as long as you are appointed to the Hall of State Affairs, you are essentially the prime minister with real power.
Moreover, the position such as the Minister of the Ministry of War, which holds terrifying power, can be said to be among the highest under Emperor Tang...
"Your Majesty, this is inadvisable."
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, the new student of the imperial examination has no credentials. How can such a position be entrusted?"
"Indeed, the mere Chariot and Horse Institute specializes in talents for speed. Such talents, no matter how high, cannot..."
Countless noble family officials couldn't sit still.
Simultaneously, they may accept other matters, but they cannot tolerate the arbitrary appointment of a prime minister.
Indeed, a person who completed 70% of the work at the Chariot and Horse Institute, even they find it hard to believe, what kind of model worker is this? What kind of all-round working talent??
It feels impossible!
But even with such a terrifying talent, it should not lead to this position.
After all, as the saying goes, "Military is swift like a deity," the Chariot and Horse Institute is a department focused on enhancing military speed, and its talents, no matter how high, cannot attain this position.
For example, if a person's talent lies in horse riding, even with exceptional skill, if you assign them to govern the world, it simply doesn't conform to realistic logic...
This is the situation right now.
"Your Majesty, the Chariot and Horse Institute harnesses talents in spatial systems, but this young genius, no matter how remarkable... cannot be assigned prime minister, because it simply doesn't align with his talents." Someone advised.
"Are you questioning me?"
Emperor Tang's voice was calm, sitting on the Emperor's Throne gazing below.
The group of officials immediately dared not make a sound, looking towards Wei Zheng in unison.
"Wei Zheng, speak up." Emperor Tang also directly added.
Wei Zheng stepped forward, looked at Zhu Zhengwei, and said: "Your Majesty, I have no objections... such talent, the Chariot and Horse Institute indeed undervalues it!"
Instantly, the entire court fell silent.
"What?"
"Even the Chariot and Horse Institute undervalues it, one person completed 70% of the work there and it still undervalues them?"
"I don't understand."
But even if Wei Zheng approved, who dared object?
If they spoke again, it would only be to court trouble.
Instantly, no one dared to speak up.
Instead, they began calculating in their hearts. Wei Zheng could be a tough character, one who would berate Emperor Tang openly. If Wei Zheng agreed, he probably believes Emperor Tang's decision has no issues...
Perhaps Emperor Tang had discussed this with Wei Zheng and others, and it was their unanimous decision.
This also implies,
This man has the talent for the prime minister position.
They silently turned their heads, with eyes of countless civil and military officials, focusing on the young man known as Ghost Witch Doctor, as he stood there with an expression of indifference, unaffected by honor or disgrace.
Suddenly, they felt a bit of admiration.
"This person may have some special secret, so calm, an ordinary person would have fainted in joy... Or perhaps he is in a state of disbelief, yet he remains composed."
"Indeed, there is a certain true aspect to it."
...
Countless people began to admire him.
Respect for what ghosts.
I'm dying, do you understand?
Zhu Zhengwei looked at the surrounding expressions, and his heart tingled.
Instead of feeling pleased by this "fortunate encounter," he felt truly terrified.
Emperor Tang, what have you tested me with, in countless space times, repeatedly restarting?
What happened in these processes??
The capability to appoint me as prime minister surely isn't just about the Chariot and Horse Institute...
Being one of the highest officials instead made him feel deeply uneasy.
He appeared unperturbed, very calm because he didn't fear death now... he knew nothing good was coming, adopting a laid-back pose, waiting to see what they would do to him...
Ghost Witch Doctor, merely a clone...
If this one dies, there are thousands more.
But the most crucial point is, the identity of Ghost Witch Doctor can die, but the secrets and location of the main body must not be revealed, or it truly would be fatal.
"From today onwards, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War for Great Tang, no need to kneel before the emperor." Emperor Tang smiled lightly and spoke.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zhengwei stepped forward, neither humble nor arrogant, choosing to see what this thick-browed Emperor Tang was planning.
