Chapter 145: The Court
"Return, you remember, if you want to govern the land well and deter these ministers, you must cultivate more of your cronies as eyes and ears to prevent trouble, otherwise you will be in this palace with a black eye, and there is no way to know what the ministers below are doing!" Su Junbao lowered his head and said to Yan Guiyi.
"Well, I remember!" Yan Gui nodded.
Now everything is still just beginning, and Fenglan Country can be described as a waste waiting to be rebuilt!
Su Junbao sighed again, that's why he obviously missed the moon slaves and returned to the city, but he didn't go back to see them.
The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent.
He only has a pair of hands, others may not be able to deal with him, but it is inevitable to start with the people around him, Su Junbao can't deal with so many crises.
Before things settle down, Su Junbao didn't want the moon slaves to appear in the field of vision of others, and they might be able to go back tomorrow.
Su Junbao thought in her heart, and patted the little fat dun in her arms again, she still slept soundly.
The next day, Yan Guiyi sat firmly on the throne, Su Junbao was holding Dundun, and he was also present, wherever he went, the little guy had to follow, and Su Junbao could only bring her.
Although there are some violations of etiquette, the ministers have not said anything, now he is a big red man of the monarch, with a high status, and he does not worship when he enters the court, this lord who says nothing in the court, who wants to offend him.
There are also some ministers who are curious, this young man has to hold this little chubby dun wherever he goes.
Su Junbao didn't want to come, Yan Guiyi was too young after all, and Su Junbao at least had to wait for the situation to completely stabilize.
In addition to him, Concubine Xue Ming, who should not have appeared in the court, also sat behind the throne, separated by a thin curtain, the monarch was too young, and she now had the qualifications to listen to the government.
This is what Su Junbao meant, he can't stay here forever.
"Your Majesty, Lin Tong and Li San's family intended to rebel, last night was even more bold, entered the palace to assassinate, such evil deeds, the crime is not punishable, although the first offender has been punished, but the family still has a lot of sins, will definitely fight back, the minister suggests, immediately arrest them and put them in prison, wait for the fall, in order to prevent future trouble!"
Meng Tiande was the first to step forward.
It makes sense for him to do this, he just helped Yan Guiyi regain power and sat on the position of general, of course, he wants to sit firmly, if the people of the three families don't get rid of it, they will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate and come to him for trouble, then it is better for him to strike first, and do it thoroughly!
Yan Guiyi did not object, he knew that it was necessary.
"What is the condemnation of such a crime in general?" His immature voice asked, for the first time in this court, he was truly in charge.
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of your country, the crime of rebellion is beheaded at the least, and the house is destroyed at the worst, and even the nine clans, Your Majesty will not be too much to condemn them to death!" Immediately, the minister in charge of criminal law came out to answer.
Yan Guiyi shook his head: "There has been too much blood shed in this accident, although they have rebelled, but after all, they have been loyal to Fenglan Country for many years, so let's do it according to the rules of our Northern Regions Mangyuan, you arrest them, imprison them in prison, and wait until the real spring is in the spring, and then they will fall, women are slaves, and men are sent to Mobei, and they will never be allowed to step into the land of my Fenglan Country for half a step!" In addition, the Li family abandoned the darkness and turned to the light before, and made meritorious contributions, without them, things would not have gone so smoothly, and the sin would have been forgiven, this is what this king promised them! ”
"Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty is wise!"
In the court, the ministers sang in unison! Li Lu was sandwiched between the ministers, and she was still a little nervous, for fear that this little kid would regret it and kill her, but now she finally let go of her heart.
Yan Guiyi is a child's heart in the end, and when he can not kill, he actually doesn't like to kill people at all.
And Su Junbao kept the Li family for a reason, now the military power is temporarily in the hands of Meng Tiande, but this person is not necessarily an honest and reliable person, keeping Li Lu is just enough to contain him, so as not to have a second powerful minister like Tong Minghai.
"One more thing!"
Another minister stood up: "The taxes collected by the Central Empire this year are coming soon, before the summer, Hanhai City will definitely send people, and we have to prepare in advance!" ”
Hearing this, Yan Guiyi couldn't help frowning!
Under the rule of the Central Empire, in remote areas like the Northern Regions, the Central Empire was too lazy to manage and allowed those vassal states to be autonomous, but this was not given in vain, and a large amount of taxes had to be handed over to the Central Empire every year, and if it was not paid, it was very likely that the vassal state would be wiped out overnight.
The Northern Regions Mangyuan is large and small, with a total of thirty-six vassal states, but the real ruler here is a place called Hanhai City, which does not belong to any vassal country, just a city, and the officials sent by the Central Empire are stationed there, managing thirty-six large and small vassal states for the Central Empire.
Don't look at the hot fight between Fenglan Country and Zichuan Country this time, the troops dispatched are tens of thousands at every turn, but in the eyes of Hanhai City, it is just a small fight, if it really wants to destroy anyone, it can do it with a finger, and no one dares to disobey the instructions it issued!
This is also the reason why Wu Zimu asked for a letter of intermarriage and could leave satisfied, while Lin Wenxuan and others did not dare to move Yan Guiyi for the time being, although they had been in power behind their backs for many years.
They don't care about Yan Guiyi's life or death, but once Yan Guiyi dies, the Central Empire will send a new monarch, which is not something they dare to disobey.
Rather than waiting for a new master, it would be more cost-effective to control a puppet king.
In normal times, the monarchs of those vassal countries are basically too willing to have anything to do with them unless they encounter something that cannot be solved, and they have to come forward with Hanhai City.
The people of Hanhai City also disdain to surrender their status and deal with the vassal countries below, in their opinion, although this group of people looks like people, they are just a group of barbarians in uncivilized lands, they are only here to be sent by the Central Empire, and they have nothing to do with the people here.
In a year for a small country like the Fenglan Kingdom, I am afraid that it will only deal with them when it is time to pay taxes, and this is also the top priority that the major vassal countries must complete every year.
"How's the tax preparation going?" Yan Guiyi asked, now that he is the monarch and is the master of the house, he has to solve the problem.
"Not too good!"
The minister shook his head with a bitter face, and said: "Last year, our year's harvest was not very good, coupled with the turmoil of the state in recent years, only some rich areas in the south have collected full taxes, and other areas are not ideal, the people live in poverty, and it will be useless to urge them. ”
"And how much do we have to pay in total?" Yan Guiyi asked again!
