The idle king is pretending to be confused, and the rest of the princes and ministers, some of whom have long understood what the emperor wants to do, but now is not the time to show their cleverness. I can't stand some ministers, but I didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, and I looked at this and that for some reason, as if I was looking forward to seeing something famous from whose face. Fortunately, the emperor didn't mind telling the truth what he was thinking.

"King Xian, what you did at the border, you thought that 'the emperor was far away', did I really not know anything?" The words "the sky is high and the emperor is far away" came out of the mouth of an emperor, and there was an inexplicable sense of joy in an instant. However, with the emperor's sinister eyes and tone, no one could laugh, only feeling more and more frightened and worried.

But I heard the emperor continue: "You are in my land, leading my people, as well as my soldiers, and treating them as if they were your subordinates in the idle palace, but you have earned a lot of money from them, right?" When you did these rebellious things, did you tell me? After you're done, is there anything like me starting? King Xian, you are really bold, don't you take me too seriously? ”

Only then did the princes and ministers understand that the emperor was waiting for the idle king here. The land belongs to the emperor, the soldiers and people who work belong to the emperor, the crops and herbs grown on the land, and the livestock raised belong to the emperor, and the money from the sale of these things also belongs to the emperor! The emperor has the wealth of the world, whether it is in the capital, or on the border, whether it is earned by other merchants, or earned by Xuanyuan Yichen, without exception!

The emperor may not have looked at this money at first, after all, everyone's subconscious has a fixed thinking about how much wealth can be produced from such a barren land. So even if the emperor already knew about Xuanyuan Yichen sitting at the border, he just thought that Xuanyuan Yichen might be tired of too many good days in the capital, so he wanted to experience the life of a peasant. But when he heard that the common people on the border actually made a lot of money, and most of it fell into the hands of Xuanyuan Yichen, the emperor could no longer sit down.

The emperor originally thought about going to it for a three-year appointment. When the three-year contract expired next year, he had no intention of letting Xuanyuan Yichen and them return to the capital at all. And he has even made plans, but he has to wait to see if Xuanyuan Yichen is really so bold and ambitious to dare to return to the capital from the border. As long as he dares, he will immediately have a big move waiting to serve them, and let them know that this great country belongs to him, the capital belongs to him, and without his order, whoever dares to step into the capital without permission will only have a dead end!

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes. I heard that after Xuanyuan Yichen made a lot of money, the emperor couldn't do it anymore. It is because of this that the emperor will make a holy decree and summon Xuanyuan Yichen back. Anyway, only a few people know about the three-year covenant. And among so many ministers present, no one would know that the so-called Chrysostom Yuyan, the real person who does not speak and temporarily changes his hexagram, is not the idle king who is beaten by the emperor at all, but the emperor himself.

Hearing the emperor say this, he thought like this in his heart, as if this was indeed the case. However, it is also possible that it is the inertia of the ministers' thinking, that is, they think that what the emperor said is right. Although this emperor is so unreliable, everyone has even become accustomed to it. Many ministers have even begun to nod, thinking that the idle king is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he has eaten the head of the emperor, who is the true dragon emperor. What's more, with the support of the emperor, he began to fight for the emperor.

Relying on the emperor to sit behind his backer, coupled with the great certainty in his heart, no matter how difficult the idle king is, it will not be worse than the emperor, and he can't afford to provoke at all, so several ministers secretly rubbed and said: "Idle King, this is yours." The emperor sent Ning to lead his troops out to fight, but after the battle, you stayed at the border and refused to return to the capital. The emperor didn't blame you for anything, not only did you not know how to repay the favor, but you will take revenge, and you also dumped the people on the border so much, and deceived the emperor, you really shouldn't do this. King Xian, you should hand over everything you get from the people to the emperor to dispose of! ”

The words of these ministers were said in the emperor's heart, and the emperor was deeply satisfied. It's just that these ministers, on the other hand, didn't even dare to stand up and say these words face to face with the idle king, but they only dared to shrink in their seats, and while talking, they had to hide, for fear that the idle king would recognize them. Although with Xuanyuan Yichen's ability, no matter how they hide, as long as they just speak out, they can't escape Xuanyuan Yichen's eyes!

Xuanyuan Yichen saw it in his eyes, remembered it in his heart, and silently made his own calculations, but he let these few people say it, and let more people fan the flames on the side next, lest he not be able to show himself in front of the emperor.

When the emperor had not yet appeared, so many civil and military ministers, in front of Xuanyuan Yichen, did not dare to say a word, and did not dare to say words of compliments and congratulations, for fear of being heard by the emperor behind the scenes. Words of reprimand and insult can be said behind the back, but in front of Xuanyuan Yichen, everyone can't say it. However, after the emperor appeared, the situation changed diametrically. Xuanyuan Yichen suddenly became the target of everyone, the target of everyone's attacks, and the stage to show his heartfelt presence in front of the emperor.

Up and down, what kind of king there is, what kind of courtiers there will be. Just because there is such a confused emperor, even his courtiers have become so despicable. Thinking back a few years ago, when the emperor was still in power, the court was definitely not in this situation, and the old courtiers led by Prime Minister Liu Lao were all responsible for their family and country, in order to make their country develop better and better. And these ministers in front of them are more concerned about their own development, and while saving their lives, they are to make the emperor happy, so that their careers can be smoother and smoother.

Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, the old courtiers in the court would from time to time oppose the absurd opinions and suggestions put forward by the emperor. In the two years since Xuanyuan Yichen left the capital, this situation has intensified. It doesn't matter what the emperor says, how ridiculous, confused, or ridiculous, the only thing the ministers need to do is do what the emperor says.

The emperor's domineering and irritable nature has long since intensified, and as long as anyone dares to put forward a different opinion against him, or simply opposes his opinion, this person will immediately suffer the emperor's merciless retaliation, and at least take off his official hat and become a commoner. If he is in prison, don't think about it for the rest of his life, and the day he can come out is the day he will be sent to the vegetable market to wait for the beheading to be shown to the public.

In the past two years, the situation has become so severe that the officials in the DPRK and China have changed quite a bit. The courtiers who dared to oppose the emperor were either no longer in the court or no longer in the world. The ministers, who were still in the morning and home in the evening, would not say anything but echo them.

The reason why these people's first reaction when they saw Xuanyuan Yichen was to come over to congratulate them was just because they usually congratulated the emperor too much, so that they all had inertia. And when they realized that others could congratulate them, but the idle king couldn't, they all regretted it one by one, so much so that they couldn't even speak. Thankfully, the emperor didn't seem to mean to pursue their poor performance at the beginning. Of course, they also know that they will repay the favor, so now it is their turn to attack the idle king together to repay the emperor.

Xuanyuan Yichen watched coldly, the emperor who left this good foundation but was so corrupted by the emperor was not worth it, and it was not worth it for the old prime minister Liu who was bent on the country and finally ended up beheaded. The future of such a country falling into the hands of such an emperor is really worrying. If the emperor knew, he was afraid that it would be difficult to feel at ease under the nine springs.

When the ministers finally finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yichen continued: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this is true." However, the emperor has all the opportunities, and the whip is beyond his reach, and he can't manage anything or anyone. The younger brother is just an idle king, after coming to the border, the battle is over and won, and there is nothing to do all day long, so the younger brother wants to go to the field with the common people to plant the fields, herd sheep or something. In fact, the younger brother didn't expect that there would be such a big harvest in the past two years, and he also thanked God and the emperor for his blessings. It's just that the younger brother has to say it unashamedly, although the land and the people belong to the emperor, but without the money and efforts of the younger brother, I am afraid that the border is still the border of two years ago and will not become what it is today. Your Majesty, and all the adults, do you say? ”

"Without the emperor's land, without the emperor's people and soldiers, no matter how much money and effort the idle king makes, he is not nothing, he can only be busy in vain?" As soon as King Xian's words fell, a minister followed closely. When he first joined the emperor, he was also one of the leading ministers. It's just that just now he would have covered himself up a little, and now he didn't even cover it up.

Xuanyuan Yichen couldn't help but look at him twice, and searched for news about this minister in his mind. Soon he came to the conclusion that this minister is terrible, after the death of Prime Minister Liu, and the only other prime minister also returned to his hometown, the third person to take over the position of prime minister, and now Prime Minister Chen is also popular.

And next to Chen Chengxiang, sat a young woman who looked to be in her teens. There is also a white veil on her face, which covers most of her face, but from her dark and shiny eyes and smooth and delicate forehead, as well as the faint temperament she exudes, it is not difficult to see that this should also be a beautiful woman.
