How I survived after killing eight emperors in a row [Transmigration Book]

In front was Wangshi Residence, Xiao Jingzhe stopped in his tracks and asked, "It's getting late, the gate of the palace is about to close, and the emperor hasn't returned to the palace yet?"

Ji Ling walked straight into Wangshiju, "The imperial palace is too deserted, it's not as lively as Wangshiju, I like it lively."

"And there are both officials, poets and farmers and businessmen in Wangshiju, which is very convenient for me to have fun with the people and understand their opinions."

Xiao Jingzhe followed Ji Ling silently, complaining silently: Is he in power now?Do you dare to promulgate and amend the official law?Observing public opinion is a ghost.

How could he be such a rascal for stealing his military power, wishing for his death, and brazenly staying at his house to spy on news!

Back at Qianyunju, Ji Ling walked into the guest room very naturally, just like walking into his home.

Xiao Jingzhe glanced at him angrily, and quickly returned to the room.

Half an hour later, Xiao Jingzhe, dressed as a shabby scholar, quietly entered the Liu's Inn.

This inn belongs to Taiwei's property. The location is remote, the dishes are unpalatable, and there are very few customers.

When the situation was tense in the past few years, Taiwei Xiao and his subordinates often contacted and conspired here. On the surface, the shopkeeper was Xiao Jingzhe's confidant brother who died in battle.

This contact point is hidden so deeply that no one has known about it except for a few confidantes who are 100% trusted.

Seeing Taiwei Xiao coming here, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him: "Guest officer, I haven't seen you in a few years, I miss you very much, should you stay in the shop?"

Xiao Jingzhe stopped in front of the counter, glanced at the shopkeeper indifferently, and said nothing.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but the Taiwei is still scary today.

The shopkeeper tremblingly said: "Tianzi No. [-] room, no outsiders will disturb you."

"Very good."

The meaning of no outsiders disturbing should be that there are no customers in this inn today, no one will notice how much noise he makes.

The waiter hurriedly set off to lead the way, and after a while, Xiao Jingzhe entered Room No. [-], Tianzi.

Xiao Yu had been waiting here for a long time, bent down to salute and said: "The Taiwei called the ministers here, what's the matter?"

This contact point has been idle for several years, and it has never been used since the Taiwei took power in the court a few years ago, so there must be something extremely important to use this time.

Xiao Jingzhe glanced at him and took a deep breath.

The military order has been issued, and the new troop training plan has begun to be implemented. Direct cancellation will break the trust of the [-] city guards.

What's more, if the original owner handles this matter, he will directly agree and end up personally encouraging the implementation.Because the original owner didn't think Ji Ling was a threat at all, and he also paid special attention to the combat effectiveness of the army. This new method can greatly improve the soldiers' capabilities.

This is a new law tailor-made according to the character of the original protagonist, and he cannot abolish it for the sake of personality.

The most important thing is that Ji Ling's plan to seize the city guards has repeatedly failed. If he willfully cancels the new order this time, it will anger Ji Ling.

Over the past few days, Ji Ling has used more and more ruthless methods in order to obtain the city guards, and he will definitely do even more difficult things than today.

This time, he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and watched Ji Ling win the [-] city guards.

Xiao Jingzhe said: "Tomorrow morning, put on your armor and go to court, I have something important to announce."

Xiao Yu grinned loudly and said, "I obey."

Tomorrow, the last bloodline of Ji's royal family will be gone, Taiwei will be enthroned as emperor, his long-awaited great cause is finally coming.

In total, he went up seven times with armor, and an emperor died each time.

The last time he brought his armor to court was a few months ago.In the early morning of the same day, the emperor and the Taiwei had a dispute over a trivial matter. Suddenly, more than a dozen assassins appeared to assassinate the Taiwei. After fighting with the assassins, the Taiwei pretended to be invincible.The emperor was extremely proud, and was about to insult the Taiwei, but died at the hands of the assassin before he could say anything.

In his opinion, the emperor at that time was extremely stupid, and the world belonged to the Taiwei, so he dared to order the Taiwei's men to assassinate the Taiwei, it was ridiculous, ridiculous and unbelievable.

Xiao Jingzhe picked up the teacup on the table, drank it in one gulp, and said, "There is one more thing."

"Baichang is the foundation of the city guard army. The change is too frequent once a month. Baichang has been replaced before he has developed a tacit understanding with his soldiers, which is not conducive to marching and fighting."

Training soldiers is his specialty, Xiao Yu vowed: "Baichang's follow-up is replaced by the same team. Soldiers under a team of Baichang can only challenge a team of Baichang. The competition items are formation, riding, and shooting. They are all acquaintances, and will not reduce the tacit understanding between Baichang and his soldiers."

"And this move has greatly increased the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training. As soon as the military order was issued in the morning, the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training in the afternoon was far higher than before. After the training time was over, the soldiers were still reluctant to leave the school grounds."

Xiao Jingzhe patted the table heavily, and said, "I just entrusted you with the guarding army soldier amulet for the time being, and did not give you the guarding army."

Xiao Yu knelt down immediately, and said: "This subordinate is overstepping, please punish the Taiwei."

He suddenly felt a little scared, he shouldn't listen to the deputy captains today, and promulgated the new law without discussing with the Taiwei.

Xiao Jingzhe thought for a while, and said: "Vice Captain Xu's guards use this promotion method, and the replacement of Baichang from January to March is extended."

"The rest of the soldiers under the three deputy captains all use the original promotion method. Three months later, the guard army under the deputy captain Xu and the guard army under the deputy captain Wei have a joint military exercise. If the deputy captain Xu wins, they will adopt new law."

Xiao Yu bowed his hands and said: "I would like to obey the order of the Taiwei."

The corners of Xiao Jingzhe's lips raised slightly, and he said, "Get up."

In this way, it has been delayed for at least six months.

For Ji Ling, he could get [-] city guards if he forbearance planned for six months. He could do it.

But he won't be indifferent. At that time, even if Ji Ling gets a hundred thousand guards, he won't be able to do anything to him.

In the early morning of the next day, in the Xuanzheng Hall, Ji Ling was discussing government affairs with the courtiers.

Xiao Jingzhe walked in slowly wearing the Taiwei's court uniform, followed by the commander of the imperial guards and the captain of the guard army.

Officials from the Taiwei camp looked at each other, and conveyed messages with their eyes: Taiwei finally thought about it, and he was about to win the throne, so keep the clouds open to see the moonlight.

The emperor's camp officials were terrified, and the timid ones even began to tremble.

But no matter what state of mind they were in, they all bent down and saluted: "My minister joins the Taiwei."

Xiao Jingzhe sat slowly on the dragon chair, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, everyone, and don't be excited. I am gentle, respectful and thrifty. I give generously to the public. I have the world in mind. I have a kind heart. I will never seek to usurp the throne or overthrow the world. I promise. I promise, I will not commit murder today."

Taiwei is known as the Living Yama, and behind this title are many bones.

A few years ago, when the Taiwei expedition to the Huns, he ordered to kill all the Huns captives, and 10,000+ people were killed overnight.

The Taiwei is kind-hearted, and the whole world is a saint!

The emperor's camp officials became even more frightened, only the emperor himself gave him a look with interest, quietly waiting for his next move.

Xiao Jingzhe looked at Ji Ling for a moment, and finally said ruthlessly: "Scholars, peasants, businessmen, merchants are the richest, scholar-bureaucrats are next, and farmers are the poorest. Some farmers don't have enough food or clothing. , no longer tax farmers."

Xu Ang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out and asked, "I dare to ask, how long will the Taiwei be exempted from tax?"

Xiao Jingzhe said firmly: "Forever."

"Absolutely not."

Officials from the Taiwei's camp and the emperor's camp had unprecedented unity of opinion and knelt down to oppose it.

Ji Ling stared at Xiao Jingzhe in a daze, what kind of madness is the Taiwei! ?

Exemption from agricultural tax is unprecedented. If this policy continues, at most three years, the country will be in chaos.

At that time, it will be the farmers who will do the most harm.

Xiao Jingzhe smiled at Ji Ling, the original owner was resourceful, ruthless and merciless, he was defeated by you, and I'm sure I can't beat you either.

So I won't fight with you anymore, I'll give you another enemy, the people of the world.I want to place you on the opposite side of the people of the world.

The development of ancient society was backward, and ordinary people could hardly read and write. Food and clothing were all they had, so they didn't know the overall situation of the world.

By exempting them from taxes, the average person pays hundreds of dollars less each year, and they will protect him for these hundreds of dollars.

After the implementation of the new law, he only needs to ensure the operation of the new law, and he doesn't have to do anything else. No matter what tactics Ren Jiling uses, he can't help him.

That is, once the new tax law is implemented, the national treasury will be exhausted in about two and a half years. At that time, he must take the initiative to give way to Ji Ling and let Ji Ling resume taxation.

Two and a half years, a lot, longer than the original owner, he can do whatever he wants.

Xiao Jingzhe ignored them, and continued: "The agricultural tax is exempted, and the scholars and businessmen have to express that all officials' salaries will be increased by [-]% from now on, the industrial tax will be reduced by [-]%, and the commercial tax will be reduced by [-]%."

"It's absolutely impossible." The officials knelt down and bowed.

Xiao Jingzhe ignored it, smiled at Ji Ling again, and said, "If your income decreases, your expenses will also decrease accordingly. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you should set an example for the world. You don't have any concubines, and the inner palace is empty. The maintenance cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is really too wasteful, and the inner palace will be closed from now on, and all the maids and eunuchs in the inner palace will be dismissed."

"There is also the imperial mausoleum. There are two thousand soldiers and five hundred craftsmen stationed in the small imperial mausoleum. It costs several 10 taels of silver every year. It is really too wasteful. All personnel in the imperial mausoleum will be dismissed from now on. A tael of silver."

"As for the mausoleum that the emperor is building for himself, let's stop, as long as the valuables in it are sold."

Xiao Jingzhe looked at Ji Ling and explained with a smile: "I am doing this for your own good. The more luxurious the tomb is built, the more the tomb robbers will want to steal it. You don't want the tomb robbers to blow up your tomb after hundreds or thousands of years." Mausoleum, stole all your gold and silver treasures, and insulted your body?"

Ji Ling said expressionlessly, "What the Taiwei said makes sense."

The Taiwei's most important confidant, Xu Ang, the Minister of the Household Department, got up angrily and went out, saying: "I object."

"My great Wei Dynasty is a vast country. The royal family spends tens of millions of taels of silver every year on the maintenance of river ponds, the sound of soldiers, the salaries of the clan and officials, the operation of post stations, and the maintenance of official roads. The money saved by the palace and the imperial tomb is mere A million taels is just a drop in the bucket."

"If the new law is implemented, the tax revenue will be reduced by at least [-]%, which will not be enough for the court's expenditure. At that time, it will only consume the national treasury. The existing money in the treasury can only last for three years. After three years, the treasury will be empty. By then, the Hetang project will have no money to maintain A small calamity can cause immeasurable losses. Without money to pay officials’ salaries, officials will only be forced to search for the people. There is no money to operate post stations, communication between the court and the localities is difficult, and the court does not know when bandits rise up.”

"Your actions will definitely cause chaos in the world, and the common people will suffer so much!"

Can the treasury last for three years?

Longer than he guessed.

Xiao Jingzhe stood up and said, "Just do what you want, and I guarantee that the world will not be in chaos in three years' time."

Three years later, it is estimated that he will be dead, and the world will be in chaos, so what does it have to do with him?

Besides, isn't there still Ji Ling's?Wouldn't it be enough to restore taxation after he takes power?

Tax exemption is easy and tax increase is difficult. As for how to restore taxation?The public grievances caused by the restoration of taxes have nothing to do with him.

Xu Ang said loudly: "The chaos in the world cannot be predicted by human beings. It is not for your guarantee that the world will not be in chaos."

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Xiao Jingzhe looked at Ji Ling and asked, "Will the world be in chaos in three years' time?"

Ji Ling said: "The Taiwei loves the people like his son, it is the luck of the people in the world, the world will never be in chaos."

In a few months, he will be able to seize power successfully, then kill the Taiwei, abolish the new tax law, and the danger will be relieved.

Xiao Jingzhe turned around and looked at Ji Ling, mourning her misfortune and angering her.

Ji Ling is such a fool, so stupid, he was so powerful when he was fighting for military power, but now he can't understand the harm the new law will do to him.

Xiao Jingzhe suddenly felt unworthy of victory, sorry for Ji Ling, and wanted to cancel the new law immediately.

Impulse is the devil. Impulsive decision-making will ruin you and cannot be canceled.

Xiao Jingzhe looked at the officials in Ji Ling's camp. They were not as anxious as those in his camp. It seemed that no one fully understood how harmful the new law would be to Ji Ling.

As he had expected, it was strange that someone could understand it.This is the result of countless historians and politicians in later generations studying the entire feudal history in comparison with foreign history.

Moreover, as a prince, Ji Ling comes from a noble family. Although he is not valued, he is well-clothed and well-fed. He has never worried about money, and has always lived in the palace. He has never experienced poverty in a real sense. Naturally, he does not understand the savings from tax exemption. The importance of a few hundred coins to the common people.

Hubu Shangshu still insisted on his own opinion, and said loudly: "I object."

Xiao Jingzhe looked at all the officials in the hall and asked, "What about you?"

All the ministers said in unison: "My ministers object."

"Come here, present the ministers with blank memorials, pens, inks and inkstones."

More than 100 imperial guards quickly entered the Xuanzheng Hall with memorials, pens, inkstones and inkstones, and stopped beside each official.

"I have always been kind and kind. I don't embarrass those who oppose me. If you object, please write your resignation in class. Go home and object slowly."

"Whoever writes down the resignation letter now will be rewarded with a year's salary. If you want to resign as soon as possible, the time will be gone."

Xu Ang resolutely picked up the memorandum and pen, and quickly wrote: I am not capable enough, and I am embarrassed to be responsible, so I ask the Taiwei to resign.

He is in charge of the treasury and provides countless weapons and food for the Taiwei's army. He is one of the most important figures in the Taiwei's camp, and the Taiwei will never dismiss him.

Xiao Jingzhe took the memorabilia and opened it, without looking at the content, directly wrote the word "Zhun" with a Chinese ink brush, then stamped the Taiwei's seal, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Xu Aiqing for getting rid of the right and wrong of the imperial court."

The Taiwei really dismissed him? !

His move was just to force the Taiwei to cancel the new tax law, and he didn't want to get rid of the court, the most honorable place in the world.

The ministers were shocked, this is Xu Ang, Minister of the Household Department of the Taiwei, the most important confidant of the Taiwei, so he was dismissed?

The ministers watched each other for a while, and only a few highly respected officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs resigned in the end.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the taxation of the world. This new law needs them to implement, and they cannot bear the responsibility for the chaos in the world.

After the court was over, Ji Ling's confidants gathered in the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

"The Taiwei's move is simply insane."

"He wants to make the world into chaos."

"This is not loving the people like a son, it is clearly wishing for the people to die."

…………

Ji Ling interrupted their discussion and said, "We must get rid of the Taiwei as soon as possible and restore taxation. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for us."

The officials in the palace began to discuss:

"But the Taiwei's move will definitely win the hearts of the people. At that time, to oppose the Taiwei is to be an enemy to the people of the whole world. Three years later, when the treasury is about to be exhausted, the Taiwei has to resume taxation. It is easy to reduce taxes and increase taxes. , when the Taiwei loses popular support, it will not be too late for us to act."

"The Taiwei promised to never collect taxes in the early court. Wouldn't it be obvious to the whole world that he has broken his word when he resumes collecting taxes in three years? When the treasury is almost exhausted, he will definitely restore taxes in the name of the emperor. At that time, the emperor will become the king." The sinner in the hearts of the people of the whole world."

"But if you kill the Taiwei and restore the tax, the emperor will become the sinner of the whole world."

Ji Ling said: "What's the point of being a sinner in the hearts of the people? It's better than the world in chaos and the people's families being destroyed and displaced."

"What the emperor said is very true."

"Besides, taking down the Taiwei will allow us to take the initiative to restore taxation. Sudden restoration of all taxation will naturally become a sinner in the hearts of the people, but only [-]% will be restored at a time, and the people will not have much resentment."

"Your Majesty, the difficulty lies in the former. Once the new tax law is implemented, the Taiwei will be like a saint in the hearts of the people. We can't touch the Taiwei."

"You don't need to worry too much. The Taiwei killed a lot of people. Too many people died at his hands. Anyone else who implements the new tax law will become a saint in the hearts of the people, but the Taiwei alone will not."

"Also, there are a lot of jewels in the imperial tomb, and the defense is empty now, which may attract tomb robbers. How many people should we send to guard the imperial tomb?"

When the royal family was in power, the imperial tomb was stolen, it was like slapping the royal family in the face in front of the whole world.

"Send twenty elites there," Ji Ling said.

"It's impossible for only 20 people to guard such a huge imperial mausoleum."

"My elite subordinates are busy controlling the city guards, and there are not many people who can go. Now the world is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are not many mountain bandits, let alone tomb robbers."

Ji Ling took a sip of tea and continued: "Our dynasty is powerful and powerful, the treasury is sufficient, and there are many organs in the imperial tomb. Even if there are one or two tomb robbers, they would not dare to rob the imperial tomb with their courage. We just Just guard against the Taiwei, only he has the strength to steal the imperial tomb."

"Where's your mausoleum, your majesty? The Taiwei ordered the valuables inside to be sold. Should we go and buy them back secretly? Will we choose another address and build them secretly?"

"Don't buy, don't build." Ji Ling said, "I think what the Taiwei said makes sense. Looking at the tombs of the emperors of previous dynasties, the location is exposed, and most of the valuables inside were stolen. Those without gold and silver treasures, even The location is exposed, and the tomb robbers will not steal it. My ancestors are too ostentatious, and everyone knows the location of the imperial tomb. In order to prevent my body from being abused after death, and to save some money by the way, I decided not to put valuable items in the tomb."

The confidant ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, most of them felt that the emperor was good at forbearance and had great talents, while a few felt angry for the emperor.

As everyone knows, it was Ji Ling's decision at this time that prevented him from having the tomb stolen.

Hundreds of years later, the prosperous Wei Dynasty collapsed, and waves of tomb robbers came to steal the royal tombs of the Wei Dynasty. Except for the tomb of Emperor Wu Ji Ling, all the other tombs were stolen.The time is pushed back thousands of years, and in the modern society with advanced technology, the tomb of Emperor Wu is still well preserved.

…………

At noon, after Ji Ling finished handling government affairs, she came to Wangshiju again.

Xiao Jingzhe was reading a novel about the love between Young Master Chu and Ji Ling.

Ji Ling and Mr. Chu like each other, but Mr. Chu is under Taiwei Xiao, and Ji Ling and him are in the opposing camp.

Moreover, the high-ranking Taiwei Xiao also liked Mr. Chu, and tried all kinds of vicious means to prevent Ji Ling from being with Mr. Chu, so Mr. Chu was completely chilled, and joined Ji Ling's camp, and joined forces with Ji Ling to get rid of Mrs. Xiao. Wei.

The more Xiao Jingzhe read it, the angrier he became. After reading the last page, he slammed the book out of the door.

"The city guard obeyed the order and immediately went to find the creator of this novel and put him in prison. He was not allowed to be released without my master's order."

How dare you write him so viciously.

Whatever influenced him to establish a good person in the hearts of the people, no matter good or evil, had to disappear for the time being.

Two city guards came in quickly, picked up the books on the ground, and left immediately.

Ji Ling stood at the door and witnessed all this.

This book was written by someone he ordered, and it described the future of him and Mr. Chu.

Mr. Chu is so angry, it really is because he doesn't like him.

It turned out that all the good things between them were all misunderstandings of his will.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Ling still asked, "Why is Brother Chu so angry?"

Why did Ji Ling come here at this time?

Xiao Jingzhe asked: "Such a major change happened this morning, why do you still have time to come and play with me, Your Majesty?"

He not only destroyed his mausoleum in front of everyone, humiliated his ancestors, sealed his palace, but also tried to ruin his reputation through conspiracies and schemes. How could Ji Ling still have the mood to see his face exactly like the Taiwei's?

"It's over." Ji Ling asked again, "Why was Brother Chu so angry just now?"

It's over so quickly?

As expected of the male lead, Ji Ling handles things very efficiently and has a good attitude.

Xiao Jingzhe sat down slowly, and said bitterly: "Taiwei is such a kind-hearted person with the world in his heart, and someone dares to write novels to slander him as vicious. He is simply impatient to live."

It turned out that it was not their love affair that Mr. Chu hated.

The corners of Ji Ling's lips raised slightly, and said, "Young Master Chu, don't be angry, the Taiwei has never cared about what outsiders think of him, so these things cannot be passed on to the Taiwei."

Xiao Taiwei is proud and arrogant, and never takes the common people seriously.

But he, Xiao Jingzhe, didn't think that he came from modern society, knew some history in a superficial way, and understood that a man's boat is clear of water, and that water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

Xiao Jingzhe said: "Not being passed on does not mean that it does not exist. Xiao Taiwei is my son's friend. No one knows Taiwei better than me. He is a very kind person. I don't want anyone to slander Taiwei."

"A few days ago, my son spent a lot of effort to help the Taiwei restore some of his reputation, so we can't be affected by this book."

Ji Ling walked up to Xiao Jingzhe's side, and asked in a strange manner, "Which one is more important to you, Zhen or the Taiwei?"

This is a proposition.

If the answer is wrong, it is a question of standing in line.

Xiao Jingzhe thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty is my most important friend, and the Taiwei is my benefactor. You are equally important."

"I see." Ji Ling whispered.

With such a low voice, he couldn't be angry.

Xiao Jingzhe hastily added: "It's rare to have a confidant in life, if you have to tell the difference, you, the emperor, are the most important."
