Chapter 552: Do Unto Others as You Do Unto You
As this cold voice sounded, everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came.
Looking at the idle princess with a white veil on her face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and the whole person had a cold temperament flowing on her body, including the emperor, everyone present had to sigh in their hearts. It's a pity that such a woman is an ugly and straw bag.
Because of this, everyone subconsciously thought that Princess Xian was really scared, so she had to stand up and persuade her husband. Even Xuanyuan Yichen looked at her, protecting him intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't think the same as everyone else, he just wanted to protect her in his own way.
"Tell me about it." In such a hot situation, there was suddenly a cold voice, and everyone seemed to feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden. Even the emperor temporarily relaxed his vigilance, thinking that she would say something she wanted to hear, and he also wanted to hear this voice say a few more words.
Liu Qingyan was waiting for this, and then said: "'The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king', everything in the world belongs to the emperor." The adults must think so, which is why they worked so hard to persuade the idle king. If the ministers are willing to hand over all the wealth of their families, treasures, and land to the emperor, then the idle king will hand over all the wealth and land of the idle king's mansion to the emperor, and will never break his word, what do you adults think? As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that there were clichés that could not be said much more tonight, and no one was in the mood to listen to them any longer. But no one thought that she would come up with such an idea next.
The idle princess, who originally thought she was stupid and didn't look at it, didn't open her mouth, and as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone was stumped. It seems that there are really eyes that don't know Mount Tai. At this time, many people remembered the literary competition at the banquet more than three years ago. The Emperor issued an order forbidding the spread of what had happened that night, so that all the ministers who had been present were about to forget it. It's just that now that they have seen the power of Princess Xian again, everyone naturally remembers what happened that night, and only blames themselves for being too light on the enemy.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you", the simplest sentence, everyone actually understands. It's just that Liu Qingyan is the only one who has learned and used this sentence to life. And all the ministers, only after experiencing it yourself, do you know how serious and powerful this sentence really is.
Just now, when this situation finally happened to the ministers, they all widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide, but for a moment, they couldn't think of anything to refute. Of course, the emperor hopes that the more things he can get, the better, but Rao is so, and he doesn't think that Liu Qingyan's proposal is a good idea. Even Xuanyuan Yichen couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded, such a good way was only possible for Liu Qingyan to come up with.
The ministers were speechless all of a sudden, and they refused to do so, wouldn't that greatly discount their sincerity to the emperor. But let them accept it, and it will be even more impossible. So, what kind of solution should they come up with to best solve the problem at hand? That's a real problem! Everyone fell silent and began to think about what they should do.
Things have befallen others, all of them seem to be incomparably great, selfless heroes, desperately telling others what to do, what must be done, and what to do absolutely, but to put it bluntly, the best is just a mouthpiece. When it was their turn, they all started squibs one by one, and all the high-sounding words they said before didn't count. Everyone wants to hide behind others, push the people around them or those who are already standing in front of them, and they must cover themselves firmly.
These ministers in front of them are still very powerful because of the situation.
The emperor didn't speak, a pair of gloomy eyes swept over the faces of the dozens of ministers in the banquet hall one by one, and he also wanted to know that these courtiers under his command were loyal to themselves and could really give everything they had, and how smart they were to give an answer that was satisfactory to both parties. It's a pity that the emperor seems to be disappointed, when his eyes swept over, every courtier who happened to look at him was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, and the last impression left in the emperor's eyes was that this courtier would not agree at all, he was reluctant at all, and he was not smart and clever at all. The only thing he will do is to quickly avoid the emperor's sight, for fear that the emperor will take a more look at himself.
At this point in the big play, it's almost time to end. Xuanyuan Yichen said: "Your Majesty, as Princess Xian said, the courtiers are willing to hand over all the family property and land properties of the Xian Wangfu to the treasury, and the only condition is that all the ministers stand up and make a statement, and they are willing to do the same." ”
In this state, no one is really willing to stand up and express it, and even everyone faintly hopes that no one will dare to stand up and express this state in their hearts. With the first, there must be a second, and soon there will be a third, and all of a sudden, I am afraid that all the ministers present will stand up and express this position. However, one thing is fortunate that even the ministers who are not present today can escape tonight, and they will not be able to escape tomorrow morning. Of course, if it really happens, so many ordinary people in the entire Daliang Country will not be able to escape.
The only ones who can survive may be the beggars. And beggars will definitely become the luckiest and largest group in Daliang Kingdom in a short period of time, because all the princes and nobles, civil and military ministers, and agricultural and industrial and commercial people, after all their property and land have been handed over, have they all become beggars?
The entire banquet hall became quieter and quieter, and even the breathing of so many people was so faintly audible.
The emperor's eyes became more and more gloomy, and everyone who saw it instantly felt shuddering. When his eyes finally swept to Miss Chen behind Prime Minister Chen, it was rare that this Miss Chen was different from every other minister, she didn't dodge or dodge, she simply stepped forward, first bowed to the high emperor Yingying, and made a salute, and then bowed in the direction of Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan.
Chen Chengxiang didn't know what his daughter wanted to do, so he instinctively glared at his daughter and asked her not to act rashly. His body shifted slightly, trying to get in front of her again. Miss Chen turned a blind eye to it, and she moved one step further, just because she didn't want her father to block her. Even before her father had time to take more effective measures, she had already spoken: "Your Majesty, the idle king, the idle princess, and the courtiers think that when the emperor really needs it, all the adults must be willing to contribute all their wealth and all their strength, as long as there is a need, even if everyone sacrifices their lives, they will agree without hesitation and do what they say......"
Hearing Miss Chen say this, all the ministers were scared stupid, and the ghost was like she said, and she would not hesitate to contribute everything she had. This is indeed an answer that everyone can give without hesitation, but the answer is just the opposite, that is, everyone will not agree with anything! Or to put it simply, even if it is death, it will not agree! Even if she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not her turn to speak to represent the voices of so many of them.
Even Prime Minister Chen himself couldn't listen to it anymore, full of anger, but lowered his voice again, and said in Miss Chen's ear: "Shut up for me!" "She's talking nonsense, don't hurry up and shut her mouth!
Prime Minister Chen Cheng will bring his daughter to the palace banquet today, first, when the emperor asked people to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inform the news, he had already said that he could bring his family members here. And Prime Minister Chen also thought that this opportunity would allow the emperor and his daughter to see each other more and leave more impressions, and in the future battle for the queen, they would have a greater chance of winning. He wants his daughter to be in the limelight in front of the emperor and the ministers, but it's really not this kind of limelight, let alone this kind of limelight that everyone including himself wants to put in.
The emperor has done everything, and if he is not happy, maybe he will really ask all the ministers to hand over their family property. At that time, not to mention that Prime Minister Chen Cheng could no longer gain a foothold in the imperial court, he was poor and white, and even how to gain a foothold in the world became a big problem.
As Prime Minister Chen expected, when Miss Chen said this, the ministers who originally lowered their heads raised their heads again, not looking at the emperor or Miss Chen, but at themselves standing next to Miss Chen, everyone seemed to be speculating whether these words were what Prime Minister Chen taught him to say, in order to show off in front of the emperor, and it was best to let Miss Chen sit on the throne of the queen in the future. Anyway, at that time, even if Prime Minister Chen's family is really poor because of their words, they can also ascend to the sky overnight!
Prime Minister Chen's shout is not only really to make Miss Chen shut her mouth, but also to make her position clear. It's just that at the moment, it doesn't seem to have any effect at all, and it looks more like it's counterproductive. Because Miss Chen didn't seem to hear her father's words, she didn't look at her father, and after a short pause, she continued.
"It's just that the idle king is the prince, how dare the ministers compare with the prince, let alone get an axe in front of the prince." Miss Chen looked at the emperor, and then said, "Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the concubines, it is better to let the idle king set an example first, and then the ministers will follow suit, what do you think, the emperor?" ”
This method is nothing more than pushing Xuanyuan Yichen to the forefront again, as for whether the other ministers should follow suit, anyway, Xuanyuan Yichen has already been handed in, so if the actual effect is not followed, there is no difference. However, the ministers are not sure whether this is a good or bad solution. Perhaps, this is a better way than a no way.
