After the game emperor awakens

Chapter 21

Xie Chongjin said this very calmly, as if picking a person's head was no different from drinking a glass of water.

Wang Yiming and Lin Chanzhi shuddered at the same time.

They are all good citizens, and they dare not even think about contaminating human life. It was the first time they saw the power of imperial power, and they were frightened for a while, and even their sitting postures became more obedient.

Hua Yan was looking down at her fingernails in boredom, when she heard this, her fingertips trembled, realizing for the first time that this seemingly approachable man who loves to tell stories is really an emperor who controls life and death.

There is awe, but not much fear.The emperor killed corrupt officials, not innocent people indiscriminately, and it was too late for them to applaud.

It's just that I'm used to seeing the emperor's sick cat-like appearance on weekdays, and after this display of power, I realized that he was still a tiger that had been dormant for a long time.

The only person present who was really afraid was He Lianxi, he was afraid that he would be the next to lose his head.

Since Emperor Changli's fatuousness and lust were all caused by Gu, now that he is sober, and the silverfish in his own country have to settle their scores after the autumn, how can he, the prince of a foreign country, have a way out?

These four people have their own thoughts, and the rest of them are all focused on state affairs.

Since His Majesty allowed them to listen to politics, he naturally wanted to hear their opinions.

Liu Yansheng pondered for a moment.His body is full of noble and elegant, and he is thinking seriously, as if he is thinking about some perfect countermeasure.

Just when others thought that he was going to express some high opinion, Liu Yansheng's words were very down-to-earth: "So the top priority is to make money."

He used to be an aristocratic son who had read a lot of poetry and books, and he didn't smell of copper at all. He was forced in the palace for the past three years, and he has learned to plan carefully, stingy to the extreme, and only has money in his mind.

As the person in charge of the Sixth Palace, Liu Yansheng has to maintain the operation of the entire harem and ensure the distribution of the monthly salary. The expenses are already tight, and the expenses of each palace have been reduced again and again. Many palace people have been laid off. The rewarder... Liu Yansheng is a noble concubine who works hard for money every day, who will believe it?

At first, Liu Yansheng was the most annoying for the concubine to cause trouble, and he had to deal with it. Later, he hoped that there would be accidents in the harem every day, and as soon as something happened, he could fine the salary and save money.

——It has been forced to such an extent.

Huayan: ... Isn't this nonsense?

Even he, who doesn't understand government affairs, can tell that Changli is very poor now, very poor.

Changli is in a state of ruins, building walls, repairing water conservancy, opening fertile fields, making weapons, and helping people in disasters...everything needs money.

"As a rule, if the treasury is empty, the tax will be raised, or the soldiers will be dismissed and returned to the fields, and the payment of the military salary will be reduced..."

Before Shen Hezhou finished speaking, Qin Yulong said decisively: "No, I just had a battle with Qifeng earlier, and my vitality was seriously injured, and Yelang has ulterior motives and is eyeing tigers. Yelang even dares to lay a gu on his majesty, how do you know when he won't?" Will they attack directly? Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, and now is the time to use them. Savings can no longer be saved in the military. Not only can it not be saved, but military expenses must be allocated to the soldiers to make armor and weapons, so as to defend the Yelang Kingdom .”

"Taxes cannot be increased." Fu Xinian continued, "In recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently, people have been displaced, and crops have not been harvested. There are already complaints. To increase taxes."

This is an endless loop.Without fertile land and water conservancy and other projects to deal with natural disasters, the people will become disaster victims, unable to pay taxes, unable to fill the national treasury, the treasury will become empty, and there will be no money to build projects that benefit the people.

"The two evils are the lesser. Compared with military equipment, disaster relief is the most important thing." Fu Xinian said.

Qin Yulong was not happy: "The army is the most important line of defense for the country, so why don't it matter? How important are weapons and equipment to soldiers! If there are no soldiers to protect their homes and the country, how can the people live in peace? Fu Tanhua has never fought in a war, and he is afraid I have never seen the tragic scene of corpses strewn all over the battlefield."

Fu Xinian did not give in: "The people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least. Yelang may not come in tomorrow. If the people do not get relief, how many people will freeze to death and starve to death on the streets every day? The people will wait for a moment. No way! Little General Qin has been in the barracks for a long time, and he can't see the sight of people starving and dying everywhere."

The two men had one martial arts and one literary, and they seemed to be quarreling.

Lu Xue said softly, "I mean, is there a possibility that we can ransack the house?"

Qin Yulong: "..."

Fu Xinian: "..."

Everyone's horrified eyes fell on Lu Xuechao.

It's unbelievable that it was this glorious young man who spoke the word "copy house" in the most gentle and gentle tone.

But after thinking about it, Her Highness the Queen was right.

These two people are really arguing, so why not think about it carefully.The money clearly went into the pockets of corrupt officials, and all the houses of corrupt officials were confiscated. Wouldn’t it be better if the property was confiscated?Neither the army nor the common people should be sacrificed, but the heads of corrupt officials should be beheaded.

Liu Yansheng applauded on the spot: "I have long wanted to do this!"

The four great aristocratic families are all clans of hairpin tassels, with a profound heritage. In recent years, due to the unrest in the family and the country, the king has become insane, and their lives have become poorer and poorer. All the money has been used to help the people, although it is only a drop in the bucket.

On the contrary, those treacherous villains, taking advantage of natural disasters and man-made disasters to make a fortune for the country, make a lot of money, all of them are full of fat, their stomachs are full of people's fat and people's anointing, and there is also disaster relief money sent by the court.

When Liu Yansheng was devastated due to lack of money, he wished to copy all these dog officials.

"If you want to ransack the house, I'm afraid that the court will be injured, and there will be a big change of blood." Shen Hezhou said.

He said "I'm afraid," but his tone was not afraid.

The Shen family was able to sit upright, so naturally they were not afraid of investigation.

"Broken pillars are broken." Xie Chongjin said lightly, "Qing fools are reborn."

Shen Hezhou smiled: "Your Majesty is wise."

-

It's not too late for Xie Chongjin to wake up.In the third year of the Xi Dynasty, the four great families have not retired, Prime Minister Lu and General Qin are still serving the country, there are still a group of loyal ministers sticking to the court, and Yun Luo is still in his service.

There are still many people available, and the real power is still in his own hands. He is not exactly a puppet emperor who has been emptied.

Although it is not easy to revive Chao Gang, it is far from the difficulty of going to hell.

In the later stage of the game, after Lu Xuechao, Qin Yulong, Liu Yansheng, and Shen Hezhou were all eliminated by the players, General Qin died in the battle with Yelang, Prime Minister Lu returned home, and the four great families completely withdrew from the court.The military power fell to the side, and the position of prime minister was replaced by an incompetent person.With Fu Xi's lesson learned from years ago, there is no one who is astonishingly talented and brilliant to be named on the gold list and become an official.

At that time, the only force that still obeyed Xie Chongjin was Dongchang.

Yunluo was a beggar when she was young, and because of her overly beautiful face, she was almost sold to a rich family as a child prostitute, but was rescued by Xie Chongjin who was passing by and brought back to the palace, and she has been absolutely loyal to him ever since.Later, he became the governor of the East Factory and worked hard for Xie Chongjin.

What's ridiculous is that the player didn't even let Yunluo go, and took Yunluo into the harem.After becoming a concubine, Yunluo would no longer be in charge of Jinyiwei, and the owner of the East Factory had changed, turning into a real eunuch.

If he had only awakened at that time, Xie Chongjin would have a hundred brains, and he would not be able to turn the tide.

fortunately.

Fortunately, it is not too late to make up for it.

-

"I will ask Jin Yiwei to investigate the matter of corrupt officials." Xie Chongjin said in a deep voice, "Let them spit out as much as they eat."

"Today, the court dismissed several people's positions, and some positions are vacant." Xie Chongjin said, turning his gaze to Liu Yansheng, "Liu Aiqing, you will temporarily take over the position of servant of the household department."

Even "Ai Qing" was called.

Liu Yansheng was called the imperial concubine for three years, and was really surprised that this title was true.

"Your Majesty, how can I directly become an official if I haven't obtained the honor in the exam? What's more, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics..."

Three years ago, Liu Yansheng and Shen Hezhou were going to take the examination for merit, but Shen Hezhou was sent to the palace before the exam started, and the imperial examination that Liu Yansheng was supposed to take turned into a draft.The two are now without fame.

"Imperial examinations are used to select talents. I have already seen your talents, so why do you need to test them again?" Generally speaking, the Ministry of Households is in charge of money. The national taxation department, Xie Chongjin thinks that there is no more suitable than Liu Yansheng.

"Everyone is my concubine in name, and everyone knows the actual situation. In order to prevent Yelang from playing a trick, I left you in the palace to protect." Xie Chongjin brought up the same rhetoric again, "I am called a concubine, but I am actually a courtier. taboo."

After so many lives, Xie Chongjin has a clear understanding of the abilities and character of these people, and knows what kind of position is most suitable for them.

This is what he discussed with Qingshu, how to maximize the use of talents.

If Shang Shu hadn't dismounted yet, these talents still needed to be trained, and he wanted to appoint more than just a mere servant.

Liu Yansheng's eyes flickered, and he asked: "How will the minister go to court and work?"

"I will discuss with the empress every day about court affairs, and I can discuss matters with the empress, and I will approve official affairs in the bedroom. If you want to know the movements in the court, you can ask Jin Yiwei yourself."

Liu Yansheng asked tentatively: "The minister's position as Assistant Manager of the Six Palaces...can I be relieved?"

Can't, can't let him work two jobs alone?

Xie Chongjin looked at Lu Xuechao inquiringly.

He had discussed with Liu Yansheng yesterday about the transfer of the palace power, why did Liu Yansheng ask this question?

Lu Xuechao said, "Tired."

He works alone and gets tired.

Xie Chongjin understood in seconds, and said to Liu Yan without changing his face: "Those who are capable will work harder, I believe Liu Aiqing will be able to do well."

Liu Yansheng: "..."

This pair of emperors and empresses is really more black-hearted than the other.

"Fu Aiqing." Xie Chongjin said again.

Fu Xinian stood up and bowed: "The minister is here."

"Appoint you as the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, in charge of judicial punishment and prison, and bring those who have no eyes to the law to justice and deal with them according to the law."

Fu Xinian is upright and upright, his ideal is to clear up the imperial court and restore political clarity, so the Department of Criminal Justice is just right for him.

Fu Xinian looked excited: "I am determined to fulfill my mission."

"Shen Aiqing, I entrust you with the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Distinguishing loyalty from traitors, selecting talents and appointing talents, please take care of me."

Shen Hezhou looked solemn, bowed and said: "I obey the order."

"Qin..."

Before Xie Chongjin finished speaking, Qin Yulong couldn't wait to stand up: "Your Majesty, do you want to give me a servant of the Ministry of War?"

After all, the other three are servants, so he has to keep up.

Xie Chongjin smiled: "The current Minister of War is your cousin, I will tell him that he has a good brother."

The other three servants were promoted because they made mistakes and were dismissed, and Dongchang had already had the handle.The Minister of the Ministry of War did nothing wrong.

Qin Yulong: "..."

Don't blame the cousin, he didn't think of it for a while, and he definitely didn't expect him to be dismissed.

"General Fengwei, this should be a reward for you, and it is worthy of the name of Little General Qin." Xie Chongjin said, "If you make great achievements in the future, you will be named a general. I will give you a token to leave the palace, and go to the palace every day." Training in the barracks will produce an elite army."

Qin Yulong clasped his fists in joy: "The last general takes orders!"

"It's not too late, let's go."

The four of them took the order to go, and the proud sons of heaven were all gearing up, feeling full of enthusiasm and ready to fight hard.

The remaining four, He Lianxi, Hua Yan, Lin Chanzhi, and Wang Yiming, looked at each other, feeling as if they were useless.

Hua Yan spoke boldly: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, I would like to ask...how could I be left behind?"

He has neither the ability to govern the country nor the ability to lead troops to fight, so he should be dismissed.

This is what Lin Chanzhi and Wang Yiming wanted to ask.

In the scene just now, they couldn't get in a word.

Lu Xuechao didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "What kind of fragrance is that on the body of Mr. Hua? It smells very good."

"Ah, it's the peach blossom fragrance that I made up by myself. If Your Highness likes it, I can make a copy for you." Huayan said generously, "I can make a lot of fragrances, which are not available outside. You are so out of the dust." Refreshing, it is most suitable for carrying the fragrance of winter plums in the cold winter snow!"

Lu Xuechao nodded: "Very good."

Her Royal Highness said, "It's a pity not to make money."
