Chapter 155: The Emperor's Means
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
His Majesty the Emperor was enjoying Yun Gongzi's Xuangong massage, and at the same time, he suddenly had the heart to take the school entrance examination, and said, "Yun Yang, you say...... Now that the treasury is empty, not only is the military spending, food, and rewards all insufficient, but the flood side needs a large amount of silver and two taels of relief, how should this matter be handled?"
Yun Yang was still thinking about the portrait in His Majesty the Emperor's study at this time, and in his uneasiness, he instinctively replied, and said without thinking: "What's so difficult about this? And now His Majesty's butcher's knife is especially hanging in the air, whoever dares to jump out against it, who is the damned person, just use it to open the knife, I believe that the person who jumped out will not be clean himself, and his family wealth will be confiscated, and it will not be a little helpful for this time. ”
His Majesty the Emperor and Old Marshal Qiu heard Yun Yang's countermeasures, and subconsciously glanced at each other, both of them seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
This kid, this strategy, amazing!
How can he grasp the affairs of the court so accurately? And the means are ruthless, down to the point.
Talent!
And the last copy of the family wealth of the head-scratcher, it is simply the finishing touch, it is really good!
"Yun Yang, do you have the intention of becoming an official in the court?" His Majesty the Emperor asked as if intentionally or unintentionally.
"Nope. Yun Yang was taken aback: "This ...... If I become an official, I guess ...... In a few days, he will be beheaded by His Majesty...... This, the little nephew's ability to offend people, is really extraordinary, and being out of office is equivalent to having an accident, so let's save this trouble......"
His Majesty the Emperor and Marshal Qiu clapped their palms and laughed together.
Neither of them was angry about Yun Yang's refusal, and even felt that Yun Yang's answer was reasonable, thinking about it seriously, this guy was indeed not suitable to be an official, if he was really put in front of people, he would be targeted by people with intentions...... The idea of letting Yun Yang go out or enlist in the army was just done.
The next morning.
Morning.
His Majesty the Emperor really brought up two things.
First, the soldiers' salaries, pensions, and rewards, and second, the follow-up payments related to the flood.
Suddenly, when he heard that these two major mountains were smashed together, Hubu Shangshu almost went crazy.
Your Majesty the Emperor, you have so much money now, how can you deal with it, it won't be enough to spend?
Even if it's a penny broken into eight petals, it's not enough!
As a result, there was a side of Wenchen who jumped out and said, "The state affairs are the most important, the people are the most important, and the soldiers have been wronged for a few months, and I believe that the soldiers will understand......"
As usual, this is just the beginning of daily tearing, but today's Emperor is very different from the past, and he is furious and directly orders the officials in that regard.
"When I discuss state affairs, what I need is to wait for you to give advice, not to blindly pass the buck. What I need is a good way to take care of both sides, but I don't want you to chill the courage and loyalty of these hundred soldiers with a mouth full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and rhetoric!"
Under the gaze of the hundred officials full of surprise and horror, His Majesty the Emperor Huo Ran stood up, overlooked the main hall, put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "Take him down!
"Your Majesty is gracious!"
A group of people stood up in unison to plead.
"Soldiers need to be rewarded, floods need to be dealt with; the country is in a state of crisis, and the wind and rain are shaking; in order to deal with this great disaster, there must be thunderous means to deal with it! Otherwise, how can we clean up the interior of the country and make a single effort to deal with it. ”
"Without money, we can figure it out. However, without the generals and the people, is there still the Jade Tang Kingdom?"
"This fang prevaricates, makes up words and quibbles, how can it be enough to calm the indignation of the soldiers if it is not killed, and how to rectify the laws of the Yutang Dynasty!"
"After the raid of the fang's house, all the confiscated silver will be deposited into the state treasury, and the household department will allocate it as soon as possible. In addition, I would like to hold a fundraiser here. I will save the palace in the next three years, and I will get about one million silver, and the civil and military officials will also support one or two accordingly...... Moreover...... Take some of the things that are not necessary in the palace and put them up for auction......"
"Your Majesty can't!" a royal historian jumped out: "Your Majesty's move has greatly damaged the majesty of the royal family. Your Majesty must think twice. ”
His Majesty the Emperor said lightly: "The soldiers who fought for me on the frontier have no salary, countless warriors who have died in other places have no compensation, and those soldiers who have repeatedly made military exploits have no rewards, without their sacrifices, how can the so-called royal majesty, where the flood has passed, mourning is all over the wilderness, and the victims are all the people of Yutang, they are the foundation of Yutang, and these foundations are about to disappear! Now the entire Yutang Kingdom is in a stormy and crumbling state, the country will not be a country, you still want to mention the dignity of the royal family to me?!"
If the country is gone, where is there any royal majesty? Do you speak like this for the sake of royal majesty, or are you reluctant to give up your own money? Come, take this fang down for me! Push out the noon gate and behead the public!"
Chop two in a row!
“...... Now let's talk about fundraising, you just need to say a number. Of course, don't shake the foundation of your Aiqing's family, in that way, I will also be uneasy and do what I can. ”
The ministers were dumbfounded.
This...... It doesn't look like the right way to open it today......
His Majesty the Emperor has not used such a thunderous method for nearly five years now.
And today's move seems to be not just a thunderous trick, but a hooligan trick.
Forcibly implement the emperor's decision.
No veto!
No refusal!
You just don't agree, do you?
Okay, come on, cut it for me, and raid my house. All your possessions are gone, and your life is gone. And then come to the next person's fundraiser.
Do you donate or not?
Donate, Your Majesty succeeded.
Don't donate...... Okay, have you seen the lessons of those two previous cars?
Do you want to end up with two empty personal fortunes, ruined families, and leaving behind the infamy of thieves!?
If you don't want to stay, just obediently obey and be obedient!
"Minister, I would like to pledge one million taels of silver. Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan jumped out first.
"Minister, I would like to pledge one million taels of silver. Leng Dao groaned and jumped out.
"Minister, I would also like to pledge one million taels of silver. The lieutenant jumped out.
All the civil servants rolled their eyes wildly.
These three veterans are so annoying, who doesn't know the details of the three of you?
Although it is said that this brother is not low, and there are other items, most of the money of the few of you is used to relieve the remnants of the army and the orphans and widows of the martyrs.
Where do you have so much money? Why do you have a million taels of silver with a mouth?!
You are so capable, why can't you go to heaven?!
It's not that I underestimate you, if the three of you can scrape together 500,000 taels of silver, we are willing to hang yourself collectively!
This is clearly the trust of His Majesty the Emperor......
But in doing so, you're pushing us into the cracks!
"The three Qing families are really my right-hand men, and I am very relieved!"
"The old minister has very little furniture, and he has been ...... all these years I don't have much savings...... Let's pledge 500,000 taels of silver. Taishi sighed softly.
In terms of military generals, there are already three giants taking the lead, and they are full of momentum and limelight.
On Wenchen's side, if there is no one to set an example......
So in the future, in this court, won't it be a one-sided, military general's one-word hall?
And it is still one-sided with the tendencies of His Majesty the Emperor.
This is absolutely not good, no matter how reluctant the etheric master is, he still took the lead in pledging 500,000 taels of silver!
"Minister, pledge 100,000. ”
"Minister, pledge 200,000. ”
......
This is exactly what Yun Yang came up with last night.
"Your Majesty can do this, early in the dynasty, bring the matter of insufficient treasury to the table, someone will inevitably jump out to stir up trouble, and Your Majesty can kill this-stirring stick...... Then naturally confiscate his family property and confiscate the household department; and then raise it up to the ministers to raise donations, I believe that there will still be people who jump out to make trouble, and this person's position is still good, His Majesty doesn't want to kill, just scold one or two, but if it jumps out exactly the kind of blind, coincidental or His Majesty has the intention to kill, then His Majesty can kill another one...... As long as there are two old marshals to do the support...... And that was it. This method can at least solve the urgent need, and there are many rich ministers in the DPRK and China......"
"Just ask who is not afraid of death, how many people can really do it without giving up their lives, I remember this trick Your Majesty used before......"
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor's face darkened for a long time.
This trick was indeed used by him at the beginning. But this matter was directly taken out by this kid and said, how could His Majesty the Emperor stand it?
I also want to have a good face......
That's why His Majesty the Emperor asked, do you want to be an official?
As long as you kid has an official **, and if you really become an official, I can take care of you at any time, who likes to tell the truth so much...... Yun Yang unexpectedly but reasonably.
Then, naturally, it is the big drama of the early dynasty!
The scene of the early dynasty, resolute and resolute, cruel and decisive, suddenly aroused the long-lost memory of the ministers......
Back then, didn't Your Majesty also do that once, when the cadres were arbitrary and established their authority on the spot.
It's just that so many years have passed, Your Majesty has never been so unreasonable, most of the time it is both grace and power, rewards and punishments are clear, and the means have become more and more gentle in recent years, and blood is rarely seen, why is it suddenly ...... today That's how you started playing hooliganism?
At this moment, all the courtiers gave birth to a kind of return to the period when a generation of emperors ruled the country with iron and blood many years ago......
One by one, they all complied.
......
"Minister...... The last person to speak ......was Wu Lie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, at this moment, this Wu Shangshu blushed, and finally earned a sentence: "Minister...... Pledging...... One hundred taels. ”
At present, most of the pledge officials have pledged between 100,200,000 and 500,000, and basically no one is lower than this amount.
