Chapter 346: Contest in the Court
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you should get up now. If you don’t get up, you will be late.”
"What's going on? Do you have to get up so early?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting for you?"
Damn it, I thought I could do whatever I wanted as an emperor! Why do I still have to work? And I have to get up so early every day? I used to...
"Okay, I'll get up then."
The emperor, whose eyes looked like pandas, could only climb out of bed and ask someone to change his clothes.
"Xiao Chunzi, is being an emperor so busy every day?"
"Of course! There are so many important events in the country waiting for your decision!"
"By the way, Xiao Chunzi, what are the ten things the master needs us to complete today?"
“I have to look into this, this is not an old matter.
The first was to abolish the head tax for everyone.
The second thing is to build a large number of primary and secondary schools across the country so that all children and teenagers can go to school for free.
The third thing is to recruit all the carpenters, blacksmiths and craftsmen to the capital.
Fourth, we ask the Ministry of Industry to...
The fifth one...
……
The tenth thing is that you must meet with all the officers in the army in turn, regardless of their rank.
Your Majesty, the above ten things are the tasks you must complete today."
"It's very simple! I am the emperor now, I just give the order."
Xiao Junzi: Is this true? Are you that powerful? You will know in a moment.
After hearing the emperor's first thing, the entire court was in an uproar.
"Your Majesty, are you still asleep today? I was just about to ask you to increase the taxes for the people! Why do you want to reduce them?
Your Majesty, don't you know that the treasury is empty? How many people are waiting for their wages now? "
"What? Your Ministry of Revenue has no money? How is this possible? Didn't we just confiscate the homes of so many ministers? Where did the money go?"
"Your Majesty, let me do the math for you, and you'll know how we spent all the money.
Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince rebelled and fought for a whole night. How many people died?
We have to give this pension, right? Over a million taels of silver were spent here.
After fighting all night, how many things have been broken? They need to be replenished and repaired, right?
In addition, the monthly expenses in the palace are also a huge sum of money. Your Majesty, you want to reward this beauty, that palace maid, and the eunuchs...
Also, regarding the drought in the north, we...
……
In short, after the past six months, our Ministry of Revenue has run out of money.
If Your Majesty cuts the head tax again, we really won’t be able to survive.
You'd better ask someone else for help with this Ministry of Revenue!
I just have to say one thing: I have no money!
Your Majesty, you should do as you see fit!"
The emperor did not expect that the Minister of Revenue would be so stubborn and be the first to stand up and oppose.
And he felt that, how could what the Minister of Revenue said be so right?
He was confused and didn't know what to say.
If Han Xing were here, he would definitely leave the Minister of Revenue speechless.
For 20 casualties, the compensation would only be 100 taels of silver. Why would it cost more than million taels of silver?
Those rebels will definitely not receive any pension, and as for who are the rebels, that is not up to them to decide.
Anyway, his brother's pension was 20 taels of silver, and as for those soldiers, I'm afraid they didn't even get taels of silver? These damn corrupt officials!
As for the expenses in the palace, that was even more ridiculous. Something that originally only cost five copper coins was said to be worth five taels of silver by them.
(The price here is 1000 copper coins, which is equal to one tael of silver.)
This is their naked bullying of the emperor. They are ignorant of the prices in the outside world.
When the emperor brought up the second thing and said it out loud, even more people opposed it.
"What? Let those poor children go to school? Your Majesty, are you crazy?
If all the children in the country are educated, who will be left to work in the future?"
This is what the officials from the Ministry of Industry said. They only need obedient people, not knowledgeable people.
"That's right! Why should we pay for those untouchables' children to go to school?"
This is a nobleman with a title, and the words he said are chilling.
"Your Majesty, if you want them to study, that's fine. You can pay for it yourself. My Ministry of Revenue has no money."
This is sheer roguery.
"Your Majesty, my Ministry of Rites believes that allowing poor children to go to school is inconsistent with our ancestral system."
"Your Majesty, I think..."
"..."
Song Yunshang, who usually seemed to have good eloquence, was left speechless by these so-called scholars.
He didn't know how to respond.
At this point, he knew that things had gotten serious and he was afraid that nothing could be done.
So, he stopped talking and just stared at them blankly, asking from time to time:
"Do you have any different opinions? Let me hear them."
Next, what these so-called scholars say is even more exciting. If scholars don’t make a living by eating, how do they make a living?
How great it is now! A gentleman uses his mouth instead of his hands.
No wonder those knights didn't talk to the scholars when they killed them.
Truth! Wrong logic! Anyway, what they say is reasonable, and what others say is wrong.
But they probably don't know: the truth is within the range of the gun.
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason clearly. Anyway, the other party just won't talk to him.
Scholars are often weak when faced with force.
The commotion in the court lasted the entire morning.
Han Xing also slept for the whole morning. He was extremely tired last night. It took him the whole night to clean up the secret followers of the former emperor.
But when he received the news from the court, he was a little confused.
At the same time, he also knew that the biggest enemy he had ever encountered had arrived. In feudal society, Han Xing’s biggest enemies were these scholars.
They are much more terrifying than the emperor.
There are very few emperors in history who are truly capable of surpassing these scholars.
Basically, all emperors with bad reputations had gone against these scholars.
Han Xing, with his brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, couldn't help but look at the tied-up shadow guards and royal assassins in the space.
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't break all these sharp blades, and there is still time.
So, Han Xing hurriedly entered the palace secretly.
"Master, I didn't expect those scholars to be so sharp-tongued and difficult to deal with.
Master, I'm sorry, I failed your trust, failed your cultivation, failed..."
"Okay, I know everything that happened. It's not your fault. I underestimated the enemy.
I came to the palace this time because I need you to come with me to do something. Now, let's go!"
“??????…”*2
Han Xing didn't want to care what the fake emperor was thinking. He took the fake emperor and the eunuch in charge of the palace away and entered the space himself.
Inside a temporary cell in the space.
The emperor and the chief eunuch walked in.
"Your Majesty?"
"The chief eunuch?"
"Okay, stop arguing! The emperor just wants to ask you, are you willing to serve him?"
"Phew! I am finally relieved. It turns out that this is the emperor's request to us..."
"We don't have to die anymore, how great! So this is what the Emperor wants us to do..."
"That's what I told you! Our base is so hidden, how could the enemy discover it? Turns out..."
"Hehehe! Actually, I've felt something was wrong for a long time. If it was really an enemy, we would have died long ago. Look, it turns out to be..."
"..."
There was a lot of whispering inside the makeshift prison.
"Shut up, everyone. I ask you, are you willing to be loyal to the current emperor?"
"We do!"
"Very good, come on, untie them!
Let them come to me one by one and receive their new identity tokens."
OK! Korean stars have exploited the system loophole again.
In this way, Han Xing gained nearly 10,000 subordinates with super high military power.
Damn, Korean stars just know how to cheat!
