After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince
Chapter 98 Enthroned as Emperor
The boy's eyes were extremely sharp at a young age, and he pointed at Qin Xuechuan with his sword: "You are sneaking around here, and you are dressed like this, you must not be a good person, if you refuse to tell me the truth, you will kill me you!"
When Qin Xuechuan saw him, it was as if he saw Xiao Yu back then, a person who could easily appear in Xiao Yu's bedroom, and who also looked somewhat similar to Xiao Yu, maybe...
Qin Xuechuan smiled at this moment, and he continued to ask: "What is your relationship with Xiao Yu?"
The boy froze for a moment when he heard this, and before he could speak, the door of the bedroom opened with a bang.
At this moment, Xiao Yu rushed in, and he saw Xiao Xun pointing his sword at Qin Xuechuan at a glance. At this moment, he hurriedly said: "Ah Xun, quickly put down the sword! This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After hearing what he said, Xiao Xun looked at Qin Xuechuan in surprise, and then he put away his sword: "Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Qin Xuechuan looked at him and smiled: "Do you know who I am now?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yu stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, don't care about him like him, he is still young and doesn't understand anything."
Qin Xuechuan nodded and smiled again: "I know." After speaking, he looked at the young man again, "Tell me, what's your name?"
The young man said neatly, "Xiao Xun."
Qin Xuechuan frowned slightly: "You are a smart child, today I came to your Lord Hou to discuss something important in secret, since you are so smart, you should know what to say and what not to say, right? "
Xiao Xun immediately understood Qin Xuechuan's meaning, at this moment he raised his head slightly to look at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu nodded his head with his eyes indicating.After this, Xiao Xun quickly replied: "Yes, I would like to follow His Highness's order, then I will step down first."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xun took his sword and sprinted away and disappeared.
After Xiao Xun left, Xiao Yu went to the door and gently closed it. At this moment, he turned his head and said, "That's my elder brother's eldest son. A Xun has never been to Fengdu, and he has never seen His Highness, so I was rude just now. Please, Your Highness Haihan."
Qin Xuechuan saw that he was different from the past, and even his attitude towards himself was much colder than usual.
Xiao Yu looked at Qin Xuechuan at this moment and asked: "What is your Highness doing here late at night?"
Qin Xuechuan heard that his tone was cold, so he walked up and said, "Why, are you still angry with me?"
Xiao Yu then sneered: "Don't dare, how dare you, Your Highness will soon be enthroned, and soon you will be the emperor above ten thousand people, and I'm just a subordinate, how can I be angry with His Highness?"
Qin Xuechuan had already walked to his side at this moment, and he asked softly: "Really? Why does Ben Gong seem to have some resentment in your tone? Are you still angry because Ben Gong beat you that day?"
At this time Xiao Yu heard his old incidents being brought up again, so he suppressed the angry expression on his face, and continued to smile: "You are the prince, how could I be angry with you? Besides, His Highness will punish you as much as you want. How to punish, I will never complain."
"Forget it, where are my clothes?"
As soon as the words finished, Xiao Yu suddenly smiled and said, "What are the clothes His Highness is referring to? I have never seen them before."
After Qin Xuechuan heard what he said, a shy expression suddenly appeared on his face: "It was that day..."
"When?" Xiao Yu frowned.
This person asked knowingly, didn't he know when the day came?
"The prince himself has done countless romantic things, so the prince doesn't remember me, right?"
Seeing his expression, Xiao Yu suddenly froze for a moment, for some reason, at this moment he knew that he shouldn't be soft-hearted, but he still couldn't help being soft-hearted.
He looked at Qin Xuechuan with resentment and reached out his hand to touch his cheek: "If I was the only one that day, how could such an affair happen? Your Highness really had a backbone that day, so he didn't want to Called out, but after that, I didn't have as much backbone as that day, to be honest, I like the way you cry the most."
Qin Xuechuan suddenly turned away after hearing his shameless words.Xiao Yu pinched his chin again and stared at him: "Obviously you and I have been husband and wife, but His Highness refused to admit it when he put on his trousers, and trampled all my sincerity. Even if His Highness wants to use me, he must Know how to comfort people, right?"
Qin Xuechuan's face became more and more red: "Ben... I know you blamed me for hitting you that day, and I was so angry that day too... If it really doesn't work, you can call back."
"As a courtier, how dare you hit His Highness, but is it just this matter that His Highness cares about? When I wanted to see His Highness that day, why Your Highness didn't see me? I still think that I was used by you, so I should let you recruit me." Come, wave and go?"
When Qin Xuechuan heard his words, he couldn't understand: "When are you talking about?"
"What? Are you going to play dumb with me now, Your Highness? When you were in Ning'an County, didn't you just order to deny me to see you? Fortunately, I am still so worried about you, you really know me..."
Before the words finished, Qin Xuechuan suddenly tiptoed and kissed his lips.Xiao Yu's eyes widened suddenly, he was suddenly speechless, and then his hands slowly reached out to Qin Xuechuan to hug him.
***
Xiao Yu lightly touched the corner of Qin Xuechuan's bitten mouth: "Is this considered compensation?"
Qin Xuechuan lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Well, what happened that day was my fault, if you are still angry..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yu kissed him lightly: "I'm not angry now, when have I ever been angry with His Highness. Now I should be glad that His Highness never blamed me."
Xiao Yu really did not expect that there would be a day when the aloof Qin Xuechuan would succumb to him.
"So, is Your Highness staying with me today?"
After Qin Xuechuan heard this, he gently pushed him away: "No way! I have to discuss the enthronement ceremony with those people tomorrow, let's wait for another day."
"When is the next day? If I don't get a definite response, I'm going to be impatient."
Seeing him like this, Qin Xuechuan immediately said, "Wait until...after the enthronement ceremony."
"So at that time, I should call you Your Majesty. It's His Majesty's important officials staying in the palace, right?"
Qin Xuechuan said again: "At that time, if you want to, it's not impossible. It's just that I came to see you today for an important matter, so where is the phoenix robe that the Japanese Palace took off here?"
Xiao Yu suddenly laughed when he heard his words: "Your Highness is talking about this. It is His Highness's stuff. I naturally cherish it very much. I have ordered someone to wash the clothes for a long time ago. If His Highness wants If so, I can personally send someone to the palace."
After hearing what he said, Qin Xuechuan said again: "No need. The situation is unstable now, and the gossip between you and me has never stopped in Fengdu. At this juncture, it's better for the two of us to meet less."
After hearing what Qin Xuechuan said, Xiao Yu's face suddenly darkened: "Does Your Highness mean that I'm afraid that I will become a stumbling block for you to ascend to the throne of God?"
Qin Xuechuan looked at him very straightforwardly: "That's right! I'm afraid of those gossips, I'm terribly afraid of the day when someone plots against me, I'm afraid I won't survive tomorrow, and I have to worry about planning every day, so at this juncture Don't stop me either."
His eyes suddenly became different from just now, with indescribable hostility and murderous aura in his eyes.Xiao Yu had never seen him like this.
Ah...so that's what happened.
It was because he himself took himself too seriously. Qin Xuechuan had said long ago that he was using him, but why couldn't he understand it?Again and again his heart softened, and he wanted to save Qin Xuechuan again and again.
Xiao Yu clenched his fists tightly, and then lowered them again. He suddenly touched Qin Xuechuan's face and said softly: "Your Majesty, can you be nice to me? Just be nice to me just a little bit. Then I'll be happy. It's not a lie."
At such a moment, Qin Xuechuan suddenly felt a touch in his heart. He froze for a moment and then looked at Xiao Yu: "I don't like others looking down on me."
Xiao Yu laughed when he heard his words, and then half-kneeled in front of him with the etiquette of the military camp: "Yes, I obey the order!"
Qin Xuechuan half bent down and looked at him: "As long as you are obedient, I will treat you well. This sentence is not false."
Xiao Yu lowered his head sadly when he heard this, and said again: "Do you regard me as your pet or a slave?"
Qin Xuechuan looked at him: "You've been by my side for so long and still don't know my temper? Naturally, I won't answer your questions, you can think whatever you like."
"Yes, I understand. I will send someone to get the clothes."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Xuechuan helped him up.If it's really possible, he doesn't want to suppress the Xiao family, he just wants the Xiao family to be obedient.
The candlelight was swaying by the wind, Qin Xuechuan and Xiao Yu were sitting opposite each other, the two of them never spoke a word.
When the two of them talked in the past, they were like a loving couple. Maybe Xiao Yu's understanding of "love" was different from others, but he still felt that Qin Xuechuan treated him sincerely.He will try his best to treat Qin Xuechuan, and now the two of them are full of suspicion when they talk, and they are tit for tat.
Rather than talking like this, it would be better not to speak, just like this is just right.
***
An hour later, the cronies brought by Qin Xuechuan walked out with him holding a phoenix robe.
The carriage gradually drifted away on the small road, Xiao Yu stepped out at this moment and looked in the direction of the carriage.Then he approached the mansion and said, "Close the door."
Seeing Xiao Yu's expression was a little bit bad, the servant hurriedly said: "Yes!"
Just when Xiao Yu wanted to go back to his room, a figure suddenly jumped in front of him.Xiao Yu was almost frightened. In order to deal with those assassins who came to disturb him from time to time, he carried throwing knives on his body.At this moment, he almost took out those knives from his girdle and flew towards that person.
The person in the darkness said quickly: "Uncle Wu, it's me!"
Xiao Yu relaxed his vigilance after hearing this voice: "Huh... so it's you, Axun."
Xiao Xun ran up to Qin Yuan and frowned tightly: "Uncle Wu, you seem to be in a bad mood?"
Xiao Yu smirked: "Where is it?"
Xiao Xun shook his head and continued, "But your complexion looks very bad. Did His Royal Highness tell you anything? Or what did he do to you?"
After Xiao Yu heard his words, he quickly pushed him: "Oh, don't ask, it's getting late, go back and rest."
Just when he was about to drive Xiao Xun back, he told Xiao Xun again: "By the way, tell anyone what happened today."
After hearing this, Xiao Xun turned around and asked, "Can't even grandfather?"
Xiao Yu walked over: "No! Especially don't let him know that the crown prince left some things with me a few days ago, and he came to pick them up in person to avoid suspicion. A lot of things happened."
Xiao Xun was very smart, he understood Xiao Yu's words, and then nodded his head: "Since Fifth Uncle said so, Axun naturally wouldn't tell this matter. But... Fifth Uncle, the prince really of……"
Just when he was about to ask something, Xiao Yu suddenly covered his mouth: "Now he should be called Your Majesty, and he will soon be the emperor. You are not allowed to talk about anything about him, otherwise you can say more One sentence will lead to death. At that time, not only us, but also the whole family will be affected."
Xiao Xun widened his eyes in shock after hearing what he said: "Really...really?"
"Because he is the emperor, is there any king in the world, and the whole world is his. Naturally, he can do whatever he wants, and we have nothing to do."
When Xiao Xun heard this, his face also became very ugly: "Does uncle mean that he will become a tyrant?"
Xiao Yu quickly covered his mouth, then looked around, fortunately there was no one around.At this moment, he asked Xiao Xun again: "You can just say this in front of me, and you are not allowed to tell anyone after you go out, do you understand?"
Xiao Xun nodded quickly after hearing this: "Hmm!"
Xiao Yu quickly took his hand away, and he squatted down to look at Xiao Xun: "Ah Xun, you are still too young, there are some things you don't understand now."
Xiao Xun was a little unhappy when he heard his words, and he continued: "Uncle, I don't understand now, but it doesn't mean I won't understand in the future. If the world is really going to be in chaos because of the emperor, then I will choose..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yu hurriedly blocked back what he hadn't finished saying: "Whatever you choose is related to the world, but the world belongs to the emperor. As loyal ministers, we must obey the emperor."
"Then can't you not listen?" Xiao Xun asked again.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and then he sneered: "Ah Xun, who taught you this?"
Xiao Xun shook his head: "No one taught me, it's just that I think so... If I can't die in battle as a man, and can't save the people from the suffering of war, then I would rather choose to be a rebellious minister."
"Maybe it's not that time yet, don't say this in front of others, you can discuss anything with your uncle. The Xiao family has high hopes for you." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu patted his head.
Xiao Xun smiled: "Uncle, Axun is no longer a child, so Axun can tell which is more important. I will be cautious in my words and deeds in front of others, and I will never bring the Xiao family into trouble. But what's wrong with Uncle? Tell Axun about the happy things, and Axun will accompany you to the horse racing outside."
Xiao Yu nodded his head: "En."
***
On the way back, Qin Xuechuan kept thinking about one thing... Xiao Yu said that he visited him when he was in Ning'an Prefecture, but at that time.And the time Xiao Yu mentioned should be after the bandits in Longhu Mountain were wiped out.
But at that time, Wu Lin said that Xiao Yu had already returned to the court with the army squadron.Qin Xuechuan saw that what Xiao Yu said was not a lie, but that it was Wu Lin who concealed it that day. He sent a person he had never seen into his room...
This shows that Wu Lin must have used some trick to make Xiao Yu think that he hated him when he went to Qinchuan.Then Xiao Yu hurried back, and this also explained why he saw Xiao Yu had just returned to Fengdu when he returned to Fengdu.
Xiao Yu was obviously in Ning'an Prefecture at that time, and wanted to see him.
But Wu Lin lied... He said that Xiao Yu had gone back a long time ago, and tried every means to prevent the two of them from seeing each other.What the hell is this Wu Lin doing?What is his purpose in doing this?
Qin Xuechuan couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought... When he was in court, Wu Lin defended him in every possible way, and also said that the sooner the enthronement ceremony, the better, so he chose the auspicious day half a month later.All of Wu Lin's performances did not seem fake.
Then why did he lie to prevent him from meeting Xiao Yu that day, was it to create a gap between him and Xiao Yu?
However, if there is a gap between him and Xiao Yu, what will he gain?Wu Lin is now the national teacher of a country, and he once commanded Qin Chuan for a station, making great contributions to Da Chu.
If it is because of the courtiers, or for other countries, it is impossible.
So what exactly is his purpose?
Qin Xuechuan thought for a long time and still couldn't figure it out.But now he felt that it was inappropriate to tell the truth about this matter, and he would question Wu Lin when he firmly secured the throne one day. After all, Wu Lin had a high prestige in Da Chu because of the battle that year.Even if he wants to deal with Wu Lin now, he can't act too hastily. It's better to slow down after thinking about it carefully.
***
Half a month later, Qin Xuechuan put on a gorgeous phoenix robe, and he took the emperor's crown and walked step by step to the throne that belongs to the emperor.
He's finally emperor, it's that simple.
Although he struggled painfully on the line of death every time, he still became the emperor in the end.
He won.
He changed his tragic fate in the original book, and now he has dealt with all the traitors, and the other half of the soldier talisman is also in his hands.No one can control him now.
Qin Xuechuan thought that becoming the emperor was the beginning of freedom.
The moment he sat on the throne, all the officials in the audience knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live——"
It was the first time for Qin Xuechuan to see so many people kneeling in front of him, but he was not stage-frightened, instead he showed a kind of calmness that belonged to a king: "Everyone is flat!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The voices of those people echoed in the court hall, and waited until the surroundings became silent.Qin Xuechuan suddenly said: "When I ascend the throne today, I will amnesty the world! People's taxes will be halved, and those who have only one son in their families will be exempted from the imperial court."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers looked at each other, and then one person came out and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, you should forgive the world. It's just... the people's taxes are halved, and those with one child are exempt from taxation. It's against the rules!"
Qin Xuechuan laughed when he heard his words: "Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you often settle accounts, so come and tell me that the treasury of our Chu State is still full in these years?"
After finishing speaking, only one person came out from the queue, and he said with great trepidation: "Your Majesty, our state treasury of Chu has indeed been surplus every year, but due to the severe drought this year, there is still court..."
Qin Xuechuan knew that once Qin Yuan let go of the affairs of the court, these people would break the rules as if they were lawless.
Before he finished speaking, Qin Xuechuan interrupted him: "I don't want to hear about this year's events. What I want to know is that since there is a surplus every year, is the national treasury full now? If not, then you have to give it to me. List out an account, I want to know exactly where the court money has been spent over the years. If there is anything wrong, then you should go and explain it to the first emperor."
When he spoke, he was not angry and pretentious, and everyone really didn't expect that the first day of the new emperor's ascension to the throne would be to settle accounts.
Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials quickly said: "Your Majesty, my Great Chu treasury has been surplus over the years. Although there have been many disasters and disasters this year, it is indeed full."
Qin Xuechuan nodded in satisfaction when he heard what he said: "Very well, then you should also list the accounts for me to see. I want to know what money is left in our Great Chu treasury every year."
"Yes... the minister obeys the order!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xuechuan looked at the civil official who had objected to what he said just now: "Since our treasury is full, and the people are suffering a lot this year, and the grain is in short supply. Then this year's tax will be exempted." Yes, the tax was halved in the third year of Great Chu. When I first ascended the throne, I saw that the commander of the imperial city's imperial army was incapable of leading the imperial army, so I even handed over the post of commander of the imperial army to..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned to Xiao Yu who was standing below. He was wearing a red official uniform.Qin Xuechuan recalled that when he saved himself for the first time, he was also wearing such red clothes.
At that time, they were young, with fresh clothes and angry horses. I don't know what will happen between them now?
"Leave it to Prince Xiao."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was talking again.
Only Xiao Yu raised his head to look at him in surprise, and when he came to his senses, he quickly knelt down and said, "I thank your majesty for your kindness, but I don't have much skills, and I'm afraid I will disappoint your majesty's expectations."
Qin Xuechuan smiled at him: "No problem, I believe in you. You Xiao family are all loyal to the country, I am very relieved."
Xiao Yu saw that he could no longer evade, so he said: "Chen... Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"
Qin Xuechuan explained some more things, dealt with some people who should be dealt with, and then retreated.
When Qin Xuechuan saw him, it was as if he saw Xiao Yu back then, a person who could easily appear in Xiao Yu's bedroom, and who also looked somewhat similar to Xiao Yu, maybe...
Qin Xuechuan smiled at this moment, and he continued to ask: "What is your relationship with Xiao Yu?"
The boy froze for a moment when he heard this, and before he could speak, the door of the bedroom opened with a bang.
At this moment, Xiao Yu rushed in, and he saw Xiao Xun pointing his sword at Qin Xuechuan at a glance. At this moment, he hurriedly said: "Ah Xun, quickly put down the sword! This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After hearing what he said, Xiao Xun looked at Qin Xuechuan in surprise, and then he put away his sword: "Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Qin Xuechuan looked at him and smiled: "Do you know who I am now?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yu stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, don't care about him like him, he is still young and doesn't understand anything."
Qin Xuechuan nodded and smiled again: "I know." After speaking, he looked at the young man again, "Tell me, what's your name?"
The young man said neatly, "Xiao Xun."
Qin Xuechuan frowned slightly: "You are a smart child, today I came to your Lord Hou to discuss something important in secret, since you are so smart, you should know what to say and what not to say, right? "
Xiao Xun immediately understood Qin Xuechuan's meaning, at this moment he raised his head slightly to look at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu nodded his head with his eyes indicating.After this, Xiao Xun quickly replied: "Yes, I would like to follow His Highness's order, then I will step down first."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xun took his sword and sprinted away and disappeared.
After Xiao Xun left, Xiao Yu went to the door and gently closed it. At this moment, he turned his head and said, "That's my elder brother's eldest son. A Xun has never been to Fengdu, and he has never seen His Highness, so I was rude just now. Please, Your Highness Haihan."

After Qin Xuechuan heard what he said, a shy expression suddenly appeared on his face: "It was that day..."
"When?" Xiao Yu frowned.
This person asked knowingly, didn't he know when the day came?
"The prince himself has done countless romantic things, so the prince doesn't remember me, right?"
Seeing his expression, Xiao Yu suddenly froze for a moment, for some reason, at this moment he knew that he shouldn't be soft-hearted, but he still couldn't help being soft-hearted.
He looked at Qin Xuechuan with resentment and reached out his hand to touch his cheek: "If I was the only one that day, how could such an affair happen?

You are not allowed to talk about anything about him, otherwise you can say more One sentence will lead to death. At that time, not only us, but also the whole family will be affected."
Xiao Xun widened his eyes in shock after hearing what he said: "Really...really?"
"Because he is the emperor, is there any king in the world, and the whole world is his. Naturally, he can do whatever he wants, and we have nothing to do."
When Xiao Xun heard this, his face also became very ugly: "Does uncle mean that he will become a tyrant?"
Xiao Yu quickly covered his mouth, then looked around, fortunately there was no one around.At this moment, he asked Xiao Xun again: "You can just say this in front of me, and you are not allowed to tell anyone after you go out, do you understand?"
Xiao Xun nodded quickly after hearing this: "Hmm!"
Xiao Yu quickly took his hand away, and he squatted down to look at Xiao Xun: "Ah Xun, you are still too young, there are some things you don't understand now."
Xiao Xun was a little unhappy when he heard his words, and he continued: "Uncle, I don't understand now, but it doesn't mean I won't understand in the future. If the world is really going to be in chaos because of the emperor, then I will choose..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yu hurriedly blocked back what he hadn't finished saying: "Whatever you choose is related to the world, but the world belongs to the emperor. As loyal ministers, we must obey the emperor."
"Then can't you not listen?" Xiao Xun asked again.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and then he sneered: "Ah Xun, who taught you this?"
Xiao Xun shook his head: "No one taught me, it's just that I think so... If I can't die in battle as a man, and can't save the people from the suffering of war, then I would rather choose to be a rebellious minister."
"Maybe it's not that time yet, don't say this in front of others, you can discuss anything with your uncle. The Xiao family has high hopes for you." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu patted his head.
Xiao Xun smiled: "Uncle, Axun is no longer a child, so Axun can tell which is more important. I will be cautious in my words and deeds in front of others, and I will never bring the Xiao family into trouble. But what's wrong with Uncle? Tell Axun about the happy things, and Axun will accompany you to the horse racing outside."
Xiao Yu nodded his head: "En."

On the way back, Qin Xuechuan kept thinking about one thing... Xiao Yu said that he visited him when he was in Ning'an Prefecture, but at that time.And the time Xiao Yu mentioned should be after the bandits in Longhu Mountain were wiped out.
But at that time, Wu Lin said that Xiao Yu had already returned to the court with the army squadron.Qin Xuechuan saw that what Xiao Yu said was not a lie, but that it was Wu Lin who concealed it that day. He sent a person he had never seen into his room...
This shows that Wu Lin must have used some trick to make Xiao Yu think that he hated him when he went to Qinchuan.Then Xiao Yu hurried back, and this also explained why he saw Xiao Yu had just returned to Fengdu when he returned to Fengdu.
Xiao Yu was obviously in Ning'an Prefecture at that time, and wanted to see him.
But Wu Lin lied... He said that Xiao Yu had gone back a long time ago, and tried every means to prevent the two of them from seeing each other.What the hell is this Wu Lin doing?What is his purpose in doing this?
Qin Xuechuan couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought... When he was in court, Wu Lin defended him in every possible way, and also said that the sooner the enthronement ceremony, the better, so he chose the auspicious day half a month later.All of Wu Lin's performances did not seem fake.
Then why did he lie to prevent him from meeting Xiao Yu that day, was it to create a gap between him and Xiao Yu?
However, if there is a gap between him and Xiao Yu, what will he gain?Wu Lin is now the national teacher of a country, and he once commanded Qin Chuan for a station, making great contributions to Da Chu.
If it is because of the courtiers, or for other countries, it is impossible.
So what exactly is his purpose?
Qin Xuechuan thought for a long time and still couldn't figure it out.But now he felt that it was inappropriate to tell the truth about this matter, and he would question Wu Lin when he firmly secured the throne one day. After all, Wu Lin had a high prestige in Da Chu because of the battle that year.Even if he wants to deal with Wu Lin now, he can't act too hastily. It's better to slow down after thinking about it carefully.
***
Half a month later, Qin Xuechuan put on a gorgeous phoenix robe, and he took the emperor's crown and walked step by step to the throne that belongs to the emperor.
He's finally emperor, it's that simple.
Although he struggled painfully on the line of death every time, he still became the emperor in the end.
He won.
He changed his tragic fate in the original book, and now he has dealt with all the traitors, and the other half of the soldier talisman is also in his hands.No one can control him now.
Qin Xuechuan thought that becoming the emperor was the beginning of freedom.
The moment he sat on the throne, all the officials in the audience knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live——"
It was the first time for Qin Xuechuan to see so many people kneeling in front of him, but he was not stage-frightened, instead he showed a kind of calmness that belonged to a king: "Everyone is flat!"
As soon as the words fell, the audience said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The voices of those people echoed in the court hall, and waited until the surroundings became silent.Qin Xuechuan suddenly said: "When I ascend the throne today, I will amnesty the world! People's taxes will be halved, and those who have only one son in their families will be exempted from the imperial court."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers looked at each other, and then one person came out and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, you should forgive the world. It's just... the people's taxes are halved, and those with one child are exempt from taxation. It's against the rules!"
Qin Xuechuan laughed when he heard his words: "Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you often settle accounts, so come and tell me that the treasury of our Chu State is still full in these years?"
After finishing speaking, only one person came out from the queue, and he said with great trepidation: "Your Majesty, our state treasury of Chu has indeed been surplus every year, but due to the severe drought this year, there is still court..."
Qin Xuechuan knew that once Qin Yuan let go of the affairs of the court, these people would break the rules as if they were lawless.
Before he finished speaking, Qin Xuechuan interrupted him: "I don't want to hear about this year's events. What I want to know is that since there is a surplus every year, is the national treasury full now? If not, then you have to give it to me. List out an account, I want to know exactly where the court money has been spent over the years. If there is anything wrong, then you should go and explain it to the first emperor."
When he spoke, he was not angry and pretentious, and everyone really didn't expect that the first day of the new emperor's ascension to the throne would be to settle accounts.
Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials quickly said: "Your Majesty, my Great Chu treasury has been surplus over the years. Although there have been many disasters and disasters this year, it is indeed full."
Qin Xuechuan nodded in satisfaction when he heard what he said: "Very well, then you should also list the accounts for me to see. I want to know what money is left in our Great Chu treasury every year."
"Yes... the minister obeys the order!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xuechuan looked at the civil official who had objected to what he said just now: "Since our treasury is full, and the people are suffering a lot this year, and the grain is in short supply. Then this year's tax will be exempted." Yes, the tax was halved in the third year of Great Chu. When I first ascended the throne, I saw that the commander of the imperial city's imperial army was incapable of leading the imperial army, so I even handed over the post of commander of the imperial army to..."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned to Xiao Yu who was standing below. He was wearing a red official uniform.Qin Xuechuan recalled that when he saved himself for the first time, he was also wearing such red clothes.
At that time, they were young, with fresh clothes and angry horses. I don't know what will happen between them now?
"Leave it to Prince Xiao."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was talking again.
Only Xiao Yu raised his head to look at him in surprise, and when he came to his senses, he quickly knelt down and said, "I thank your majesty for your kindness, but I don't have much skills, and I'm afraid I will disappoint your majesty's expectations."
Qin Xuechuan smiled at him: "No problem, I believe in you. You Xiao family are all loyal to the country, I am very relieved."
Xiao Yu saw that he could no longer evade, so he said: "Chen... Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"
Qin Xuechuan explained some more things, dealt with some people who should be dealt with, and then retreated.
