Chapter 140: The Temptation of Worship! (b)
When Wu Yue heard this, he suddenly let go of his hanging heart. "It's good you don't pay attention. Otherwise, once you are on guard, I really won't be able to do it. Wu Yue said secretly in his heart.
"Ao Zhongtang is the first Baturu of my Qing Dynasty, the champion of the three armies, how can he be afraid of a native dog in the Western Regions? It's that I'm overthinking. Wu Yue said with a smile.
Ao Bai frowned at this moment, "Your Majesty, this kind of earth dog in the Western Regions, this is the first time that the old slave has seen it." Its courage is the top of the canine. Although it is easy for the old slave to deal with, if the big inner guards in the palace want to parry, it will be very laborious. Therefore, the old slave suggested that such a dog breed should not be raised in the palace. Once they go berserk, I'm afraid it will make the entire palace fall into a panic. β
Wu Yue smiled and nodded, "I'll pay attention." β
"Ao Zhongtang, when you enter the palace to see me, you should not just persuade me not to raise this kind of dog in the palace, right?" Wu Yue diverted the topic, not wanting to continue to entangle with Ao Bai about the mastiff king.
Ao Bai was a mess, and said with a smile, "I almost forgot about business." β
"Your Majesty, in order to escape the errand of the first emperor of rice, Sukh Saha actually allocated all the land he had encircled over the years to his own people. He can do this kind of disregard for the ancestors and the court, and he will surely do more things that disobey the court in the future. β
"The old slave of Sony suggested that Suke Saha be cut off from his post and ordered to hand over all the land he has circled over the years to the imperial court!" Ao Bai said, stood up and bowed slightly to Wu Yue, facing the ground, and said in a deep voice with his fists clenched.
At this moment, Wu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes stared at Aobai, and he didn't speak for more than ten minutes.
Seeing that Wu Yue didn't respond, Ao Bai actually slowly stood up straight, looked at Wu Yue, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any objections?" β
Wu Yue shook his head, "For this kind of contempt for the imperial court, of course, I am also resentful, just like Ao Zhongtang. But there is a little bit of Aozhongtang, but I have to pay attention to which one to do. A few days ago, Sukh Saha was my auxiliary minister. As soon as he was stripped of his status as an auxiliary minister, I immediately took action to remove all the flower feathers from his head. Doesn't this seem to me to be too unkind, and I have the intention of unloading the mill and killing the donkey? β
Ao Bai heard Wu Yue's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a weird smile. This kind of treacherous smile lasted only a few seconds before it was covered up by Aobai.
"The emperor is merciful, but this is not an excuse for you to indulge these courtiers. When the emperor first came to the government, it was necessary to make an example of the monkey and establish his authority in the court. Severely punish those court officials, it seems that the power will not appear to be great. But once you deal with these auxiliary ministers, the meaning is very different. β
Ao Bai said, his eyes flashing with a sly light.
"Humph! The old thing, he still wants to design me and let me take the blame. Worship, worship, you're shrewd, don't want it. Wu Yue snorted coldly in his heart.
But Wu Yue's face did not show the slightest expression, pretending to be pensive, frowning and nodding.
"Ao Zhongtang said so, but the current Suke Sahanai is the main exam of Enke, and it is a little inappropriate to start now. Is it waiting until after Enko? Wu Yue asked.
Ao Bai shook his head with a determined face.
"Your Majesty, when Sukh Saha intervened in Enko, the old slave stopped it. But Suo Zhongtang, as the first assistant, made the final decision. So the old slave didn't say anything more. β
"Now it seems that he is not suitable to be the main examiner of Enko. Besides, once Enko is over, Sukh Saha's protΓ©gΓ©s will increase a little more. If the imperial court had done it again at that time, there would have been more resistance. Even if the emperor is arbitrary, I am afraid that it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people. β
At this moment, Ao Bai seemed to be a little more humble, bowed slightly towards Wu Yue, and said with a serious face.
Wu Yue shrugged. "Then this matter will be left to Ao Zhongtang to handle."
"The old slave obeys!" Aobai's face was full of excitement, and he bowed deeply towards Wu Yue.
"But what about the emperor's rice experiment? Those seeds were cultivated by the emperor all his life. Once the experiment is successful in the north, the cultivation and harvest of rice will no longer depend entirely on the south. In this way, it will be of great significance to solve the food problem of the imperial court. Wu Yue raised his hand to signal Ao Bai to get up, and continued.
Ao Bai responded with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is all a trivial matter, isn't it just five hundred acres of experimental land?" The old slave has been in charge of the errand of enclosing land all these years, and we Manchus, how much land those families have encircled, the old slave knows in his heart. The old slave can make them spit out some. It was used to cultivate the rice of the first emperor. β
"Don't say 500 acres, even if it's 10,000 acres, it's fine. It's a big deal, the old slave issued another order, let them enclose some more land. β
Ao Bai doesn't care!
Wu Yue shook his head, "Ao Zhongtang, I have always wanted to discuss the matter of enclosure with you. β
Ao Bai frowned suddenly, "Your Majesty, enclosing land is a holy decree of the first emperor. Is there anything wrong? β
Wu Yue slowly got up, came to Ao Bai's side, looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Ao Zhongtang, you are an old minister of the Kai Dynasty, you must understand the truth of this." We are a famous people on horseback, and we rely on meat to make the world. However, the people in the customs area ate whole grains. β
"The number of Manchu people is only one percent of the Han people. Their need for food was astronomical. Once the land enclosed by the eunuchs was beyond the limits of what these Han people could bear. The consequences are serious. β
Ao Bai heard Wu Yue's words, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said disdainfully, "I can sweep the Central Plains on horseback, so I am not afraid that these lowly Han people will rebel again." It's a big deal to kill all these rebellions! β
"Are all the Han people in the entire Central Plains killed?" Wu Yue frowned and asked.
Ao Bai was stunned for a moment.
"Ao Zhongtang, you are my humerus minister, there are some things that I hope you can think through." Wu Yue continued.
Ao Bai nodded.
"Huh. For this matter, the old slave will think about it carefully. Ao Bai replied respectfully.
Wu Yue smiled and nodded, then turned around and sat down on the dragon chair.
"Ao Zhongtang, I hope that you will become the next Minister after Suo Zhongtang in the future. I believe you can do it. I also hope that when you deal with court affairs in the future, you will be able to think calmly and without any emotion
"Only the method of dealing with the affairs of the court after meditating on it is the most appropriate way to deal with it." Wu Yue continued.
"Hmmm! The old slave knew. Aobai's face looked a little unhappy at the moment.
"Hey... Worship, I've given you a chance. I hope you can grasp it, don't let the mastiff king I prepared for you tear you apart! A lifetime of glory is in vain! Wu Yue looked at Ao Bai with a smile, bowed his head slightly, and said silently in his heart.
