Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

The court officials were trembling with fear and terror.

Everyone wanted to touch their heads to the ground, fearing that Zhao Yuan was speaking in a sarcastic way and that their heads would fall to the ground soon.

Zhao Yuan: ???

Aren’t these court officials usually so eloquent?

He has set up the stage today, so why is there no one coming out to join him?

After waiting for a while, Zhao Yuan saw that no one spoke, so he spoke with a slightly unhappy tone, "Mr. Du, I remember three days ago, you reported to me that digging the Weihe Canal was of great importance, and you wanted me to stop repairing Changle Palace and temporarily move the workers to the Weihe River?"

The "Du Qing" he named was Du Yun.

Du Yun, Du Sikong, the first-rank official of the dynasty who was in charge of water conservancy and civil engineering construction and was very powerful outside, trembled immediately.

Oh no! Oh no!

The emperor is going to use him as a target today!

Can……

Du Yun's old face wrinkled, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Majesty, once the Weihe Canal is successfully built, it will irrigate thousands of hectares of farmland, which will definitely increase grain production, so that the people nearby will no longer suffer from hunger, and it will also become another granary for the banquet!"

"Your Majesty, there are not enough civilian workers available for the grand banquet!"

There have been wars every year in recent years, resulting in countless deaths and injuries to young and middle-aged people, and the population is already seriously insufficient.

I really can't stand it anymore!

Compared with the Weihe Canal, Changle Palace was just a magnificent palace that had no use other than providing pleasure for the emperor!

Du Yun also didn't want to anger Zhao Yuan.

But since Zhao Yuan himself raised this issue, he had to bring it up for no other reason than for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the country and for the sake of the suffering people.

No big deal~

The emperor killed him.

Anyway, the tone of the emperor's voice when he called him didn't sound good, so he might as well give it a try.

"Ah."

Zhao Yuan nodded, his tone was unusually gentle, "You are right. I was wrong before, Changle Palace will not be renovated."

Anyway, cultivating that thing won’t make you immortal.

Say it again!

Now the Empress Dowager is still in the harem. If he dares to mess around...

He is already forty-six years old, and he doesn't want to experience how painful it is to be hit on the palm of his hand with a ruler!

Ministers:? ? ?

Something is wrong!

Twelve out of ten things are wrong!

Their emperor, who was used to being autocratic, actually listened to advice and admitted his mistakes?

and many more!

The emperor is so nice to talk to today~

"Your Majesty!"

The Shangshu Ling in charge of the Ministry of Justice seized the opportunity and spoke quickly.

"speak."

"I personally think that those who care about the safety of the country must accumulate virtue and righteousness. Even if they are punished with severe punishments and threatened with anger, they will still escape without kindness, and will be respectful without being convinced. The resentment is not great, but people are to be feared. The boat can carry you and it can also capsize you, so you should be very careful. A running car with a rotten rope, can you ignore it?"

"Therefore, I believe that we should revise the harsh laws and govern the people with virtue, which is the foundation for eternity!"

After saying this, the Minister of Justice didn't dare to look up. He looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, his heart beating fast.

After a long while, a sound from nature was finally heard.

"allow."

Zhao Yuan had no objection either.

It's not that he doesn't know that the criminal laws of Da Yan are strict, but he was just too lazy in recent years to make changes.

"Draft the rules and submit them to me."

Zhao Yuan said again.

The Minister of Justice's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I obey your order!"

good good!

The emperor is so easy to talk to today!

Seeing another success, a group of old foxes lowered their heads and looked at each other, and each of them had some ideas in their minds.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. The national treasury is empty, the nomadic land is vast and sparsely populated, but there are abundant sheep and horses. I think we can open a trade market between the two places..."

"Your Majesty, I also have a petition..."

Are you kidding me?

If we don't take advantage of the emperor's good mood and get him to agree to these messy things, we will miss the opportunity. If we want to bring it up again next time, then... the trouble will be huge!

So the court officials began to speak freely.

You have a suggestion, I have a suggestion.

Zhao Yuan sat on the dragon throne and watched, his mouth twitching slightly.

What?

So much talk now?

You didn't say a word just now. Are you acting like a taciturn person?

He rubbed his forehead, feeling very impatient to deal with these things, but when he thought of Shu Jiao's words "Bestowing a grand banquet on the people is the important support for the country's destiny", he felt that he could do it!

He loves the people!

It is definitely not for becoming an immortal!

After finally finishing all the important affairs of the court, Zhao Yuan kept several important officials in the court and mentioned two words at the beginning: "Reform."

courtier:!!!

emperor!

Stop torturing them!

They are all in their sixties and seventies, why would such a big bomb come at this critical moment?

Several people didn't dare to say anything and looked at each other.

——You go ahead.

——Why don’t you go up?

——Didn’t you have so much to say in the morning? Now is your chance! Speak quickly.

——I respect the elderly, you speak first.

"Okay, think about it carefully first."

Zhao Yuan was impatient to see them arguing, "Dexi, go and call the prince to me."

Dexi took the order and left.

Soon, Prince Zhao Zhi appeared in front of everyone.

He was tall and slender, and looked very elegant and easy-going, with a gentle smile, "I'd like to see your face, father...your Majesty?"

When the prince saw Zhao Yuan's face clearly, he was dumbfounded.

Who are you?

Where is my father?

What about my father, who is so old but still strong and in his forties?

Where did you hide him?

Hearing this, the court officials couldn't help but feel curious. They secretly raised their eyes to look at Zhao Yuan, and were all shocked by Zhao Yuan's face that looked ten years younger.

Your Majesty, are you taking the elixir behind their backs?

"What's wrong with me? Mind your own business."

Zhao Yuan didn't like him very much, thinking that his son didn't look like him at all.

But Zhao Zhi was the eldest prince and had a decent brain, at least he had no major problems governing the country, so Zhao Yuan promoted him to crown prince.

Zhao Yuan added: "I know that I have been at war for many years, and the people's livelihood is unstable. If the laws are too harsh, they will be changed; if the taxes are too high, they will be reduced; if things that waste people's money and labor are not done... For these, you should give me a set of rules."

He just needs to make the decision.

If how to reform requires him to think about all aspects, then what are the people under him doing?

Just eating free rice?

Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this, and even Zhao Zhi couldn't help but look at Zhao Yuan with surprise.

What happened to his father... that made him go crazy?

Does this mean a shift from tyranny to benevolent rule?

Isn't his father fishing?

Wait until we can fish out these guys who don't support tyranny and catch them all in one fell swoop?

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Zhao Yuan remained calm, "Crown Prince."

"My son is here."

"You are well-versed in Confucian classics and are proficient in the rule of law. Discuss it with them. I want to see the results within three days."

After saying that, Zhao Yuan turned around and left.

Zhao Zhi and several court officials were left staring at each other, and no one spoke a word for a long while.

Zhao Zhi: My dear father! Aren’t you afraid that I will join hands with these court officials and sideline you?

Courtier: Your Majesty! I swear that I have absolutely no intention of joining the Crown Prince. I am innocent and only loyal to you!!!
