Chapter 119: Snubbing
Empire is impersonal.
It is not the imperial court system that does not pay attention to human feelings, but the current emperor.
The current emperor is brutal and decisive, he is the master of the country, and he has promoted this atmosphere of the court being the master of the house.
If you don't accept it, you will kill!
In the feudal dynasty, it was not a matter that the emperor liked to kill people, and it was not said that because the emperor liked to kill people, he would die for the country.
The emperor had no autonomy, and the decrees could not be carried out, which was a sign of the country's demise.
In order to centralize power, in order to better manage the country of Nuoda, the imperial court adjusted the decrees according to its own needs.
Under the policy of using Emperor Yanwu to develop science and technology and pacify the Quartet, he constantly strengthened his rule over various regions.
The emperor lived long enough, so even if there was a problem with the empire, it was now being suppressed.
Life expectancy is the main blessing of being an emperor, and the current emperor is to survive the longevity of his old father, and to survive the brothers and nephews who have been better than him since childhood, but who have not lived as long as him.
The old emperor also had several excellent children who were loved by the first emperor, because he felt that the old emperor was too old, so he planned to set up the third and fourth generations.
Then those young people died of old age and could not move, and the old emperor was still diligent in government affairs......
He had been on an errand under the Emperor since he was young, and although he had no outstanding achievements, it was an advantage to be alive for so many years.
Over the past few decades, there have been more and more subordinates and cronies, so in the end, even the first emperor could no longer appoint the rest of the people as emperors, so he could only conform to the general trend and appoint him as the crown prince.
The first emperor actually didn't like the old emperor very much, and always felt that this son was too ordinary, had a bad brain, and was not good enough.
After dying several crown princes, the old emperor continued to survive.
After the first emperor set up the old emperor as the crown prince, he originally planned to wait for this son to be in good health and then change to other options on the grounds of his body.
However, in the long-distance race of time, the first emperor still couldn't stand it first, and after he died, the power was naturally attributed to the old emperor.
This is the right inheritance!
There is no need for a coup d'Γ©tat, and there is no need for any means, after outperforming the opponent, he openly accepts the surrender of the other party's forces.
Inside the Imperial Palace in Yongju
The old emperor had a meeting in the morning and had a regular physical examination in the afternoon.
In the long-distance race of time, in addition to their own "natural selection" ability, equipment and scientific exercise are also crucial decisive factors!
The old emperor began to practice martial arts when he was a child, and at that time it was still a martial arts era, and there were forces such as the Demon Gate Demon Sect Holy Spirit Palace.
Compared with his brother and sister brother, he has no talent in martial arts, so he practiced ordinary fist and foot kung fu of the Wenyang class, and this practice is more than 60 years.
Emperor Yanwu had a lot of women, so he trained some obstetricians and gynecologists early, and at that time, he popularized the common sense of parenting.
Later, there were many children, and most of them grew up.
The old emperor himself also had some women, but he was not obsessed with this matter, and the women around him were all left behind by marriage and various business needs.
After giving birth to twenty sons and I don't know how many daughters, the old emperor gradually cut off this kind of thing, mainly because he was busy with official business, and the time was very urgent.
At first, there wasn't much of an idea of health preservation, it was mainly a habit.
But after surviving the death of the first crown prince, and then discovering that people his age began to lose their hair and dark circles, and the disc in his waist protruded and sleepy, a sense of accomplishment rose.
When the sense of accomplishment rose, a sense of crisis also rose, and the old emperor began to pay more attention to his physical condition with more self-discipline, and kept himself busy, not indulging in wine and idle play.
At the end of the routine examination, the old emperor's health was still as good as ever.
After lunch, the old emperor continued to work in the government affairs hall in the afternoon, reviewing and checking the reports uploaded from various places.
Looking at it, the old emperor was in a bad mood.
The reports submitted in various places are similar, and most of them are talking about rising prices, especially the location of several state capitals, which is particularly serious.
The old emperor knew very well that there was no way to do it, the money was printed by him, and if there were two or three hundred million more for no reason, of course the price would be affected.
This kind of thing is not without a solution, the old emperor is trying to use some means to absorb these waters.
As long as the money doesn't flow to the lower classes, it's not a big problem.
But this method is not a good way, how to get the money back from the hands of these middle and high-level people, and not let these people resist, this is a problem that has plagued him for many years.
Whenever a problem is solved, the people below will learn and find a way to solve it.
The system varies from person to person.
The old emperor thought for a few seconds, and then said to his subordinates: "Wang Lanling of Heishui County has an official document submitted recently?" β
The eunuch next to him quickly said, "Not yet." β
Because Wang Lanling was asked to write a report every month, Wang Lanling wrote it once a month, and it was not yet that time.
The old emperor showed an unhappy look and said, "Has he ever learned Mandarin?" β
The eunuch said very carefully: "It shouldn't be, it's only been a month or two, and I heard that the people below said that Wang Lanling has recently changed to a local dialect." β
"Humph! This idiot! The old emperor snorted coldly and said upsetly, "What has he been doing lately?" β
The eunuch said: "I was busy with water affairs, and a few days ago I applied for food with the county guard, opened a conscription to repair the river, pacified the laborers, and changed the dung department to the sanitation department, which is a place to sweep the streets and manage sanitation." β
The old emperor frowned, he knew that Wang Lanling was a virtuous person, not only capable and thoughtful, but also not greedy for promotion, and understood for the sake of the people.
Whether it is water conservancy or sanitation, it is a necessary organization for infrastructure construction, and the old emperor has also managed many places, and knows that Wang Lanling is the easiest place to exercise his ability.
But now is not the time to use this talent!
The old emperor said annoyedly: "I know all day long that I want this and that, and the affairs of the big dung division are not easy to manage!" Don't worry about things over there in the future! β
Wang Lanling lost the attention of the old emperor.
The eunuchs and the ministers around them were all honest at this time, but their moods were different.
The right minister bowed his head and worked, and he knew what the contents of the few folds on the emperor's case were.
There are so many reports in the country, except for the reports passed by the state ministers who must be shown to the emperor, the rest of the small matters will be handled by several ministers, and finally the emperor will selectively make a decision.
The old emperor killed many ministers, but smart people have a smart side.
It wasn't until he got home from work that he smiled alone in the bathroom and showed the joy of victory!
"Wang Lanling...... You are indeed a talent, but what you need now is not an honest and capable minister like you, there is no place for you here, and what the world needs now is the extravagance that can absorb financial water! You, a clean official who even has to watch other people's, are just pebbles on the side of the road, and you can't do anything about yourself! β
The rise of extravagance will breed corruption and other problems, and officials will be freer!
But if this evil wind does not blow now, the economy of the empire will have problems!
However, neither the old emperor nor the right minister would have thought that Wang Lanling would have more motivation and strength to engage in the economy than to engage in anti-corruption supervision......
Because everyone inexplicably acquiesced to Wang Lanling because he was capable, he was a clean official.
