The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

After the court meeting, the imperial decree was only circulated among the court officials and did not reach the common people. However, as some court officials spread the news, rumors had already spread in the capital.

The people have mixed feelings about the news. They are happy about the many policies that benefit the country and the people.

For example, they vigorously encouraged business, built many workshops, and organized people to reclaim wasteland and cultivate land.

If these can really be implemented, people's lives will be much better and many people will have a livelihood.

Workshops can recruit workers and organize people to open up wasteland and cultivate land. They can accept many common people, and even refugees can join the land reclamation team.

Even though this land reclamation was for the country, as long as the money given was enough for a family's livelihood, all the people would still be happy to see it happen.

But the problem is that these decrees were just hearsay and had not been implemented. For a time, the people were somewhat unaware of the details, and they were inevitably in a state of panic.

At this time, at the residence of the Left Prime Minister Huang Lizhi, Huang Lizhi, Ye Zhongzhi, and the remaining four ministers gathered together.

In the court, in order to fight against Li Changle, the six of them collectively resigned from their posts, along with more than twenty court officials.

The six of them gathered together to express their anger over the resignation. Having been in high positions for so long, how could they be willing to resign like this? They just wanted to use this as a threat to take advantage of the opportunity to control the empress.

As long as they can control the empress, the entire Daxi Dynasty will be under their control. Once Jiang Fan leaves, they can do whatever they want to the empress!

If they are luckier one day, it is not impossible that one of them will emerge as a person who can command the support of everyone and finally sit on the highest position!

But what they could not have imagined was that Li Changle was so upright that he was not affected at all by their resignation and directly dismissed them from their positions.

Now they are somewhat passive.

"Left Prime Minister, are we willing to resign just like that?" At this time, the Minister of Personnel Shi Qingqiu said with a somewhat unwilling tone.

"Yes, Left Prime Minister, if we don't do something, we will feel unwilling!" The Minister of Justice Zhou Changqing also echoed.

The remaining two ministers nodded repeatedly. They left in shame. Although the imperial decree had not been announced yet, it had already been circulated among the people.

The people's reactions made them feel even more uncomfortable. Although the people were somewhat fearful and disbelieving of the court's decrees, most of them wanted to see the decrees implemented.

If Li Changle really succeeds in implementing the decree, he might be able to secure that position. By then, if they want to go back, it will be a long time before that happens.

"Why are the four adults so anxious? We haven't lost yet! Even if Li Changle issued an order, if no one implements it, what use do you think this order will be?"

At this time, Right Prime Minister Ye Zhongzhi spoke lightly.

As soon as he said this, the four ministers who were originally a little anxious looked at each other and instantly showed joy on their faces.

Yes, although the decree is good, if no one implements it, then the decree is the same as if it had nothing. Once the decree cannot be implemented, it will only become a joke in the end.

"More than 20 of us have resigned. Although the remaining ones have been promoted, at least half of them will listen to me as long as I am willing. I just need to let them delay issuing the decree, and what can they do to us!"

"Let the rumors spread more widely. The bigger the better!" Huang Lizhi had a playful look on his face, and he looked like he had everything planned out.

The others were slightly stunned when they heard this. Shouldn't rumors be suppressed? Why should they be spread as widely as possible? Wouldn't this increase Li Changle's reputation?

However, suddenly, everyone's face showed a sense of realization. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If the rumors among the people increased Li Changle's reputation.

But if the decree cannot be implemented, Li Changle will end up in a very bad situation. By then, with complaints everywhere, even if Jiang Fan has a large army to suppress them.

But can he still suppress the public anger? If the public anger reaches its peak, then Emperor Li Changle will be driven down by the people.

"Left Prime Minister, your plan is brilliant! Great... Haha..." The four ministers looked at Huang Lizhi with flattery.

At this time, Ye Zhongzhi said calmly: "It's not enough to just boost Li Changle's reputation, let's bring the King of Qin in as well!"

As soon as he said this, the other people looked a little surprised. It would be fine if he wanted to improve Li Changle's reputation, but why would he want to improve the reputation of an outsider?

Seeing the puzzled looks of the people, Ye Zhongzhi smiled and said, "The reputations of the two are tied together. If their reputations decline, of course they will decline together. At that time, we can just add another female emperor who is secretly colluding with foreign enemies and bringing disaster to the country and the people?!"

As soon as he said this, the four of them were stunned. Huang Lizhi looked at Ye Zhongzhi with a smile on his face.

If just destroying the reputation of the empress is not enough to bring down Li Changle, but if the charge of colluding with foreign enemies is added, that would be a different matter.

"During this period, we will do something to make the people hate Li Changle and the others even more. Then, who will be able to protect them?" Ye Zhongzhi smiled grimly.

The four of them brightened up when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at Ye Zhongzhi with admiration, worthy of being the right prime minister, the strategy he came up with was so vicious.

"Haha... wonderful, so wonderful!" The four were overjoyed and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Soon after their meeting, word began to spread throughout Shangjing City and even the surrounding prefectures that the empress's series of decrees came from the hands of King Qin of Dayan.

As this rumor spread, the public reacted even more strangely. Some people were terrified, thinking that the cooperation between the empress and the King of Qin of Dayan might do something detrimental to Dashi.

Some people took a wait-and-see attitude. Some even felt that if the empress could really do something beneficial to the people, it would not be a big deal even if she cooperated with the King of Qin of Dayan.

After all, the people just want to live a good life, and they don’t care who is in power. Otherwise, why were those foreign races in history able to rule for a long time after they took over China?

Even in history, in the time and space where Jiang Fan lived in his previous life, the last feudal dynasty was ruled by a foreign race, and it ruled China for more than two hundred years.

As the rumor spread more and more, people were looking forward to the introduction of government decrees.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no decree issued by the court, let alone the emergence of so-called workshops, recruitment of people to open up wasteland, and the emergence of a series of policies to encourage business.

Among the people, everyone's emotions were a little depressed. They had been waiting for the government decree to be issued, but there was no implementation of the decree, so they inevitably felt resentful.

Then, rumors came out that the empress and the King of Qin of the Great West only wanted fame and had no intention of making life good for the people.
