Chapter 311: Overlord Nioh
The three assistants of Shuangyang City, without anyone being prepared, were brought to justice one after another.
Because none of the three of them expected that King Chen, who had always been played with by them and applauded, would be out of their control in just one night, and he would completely turn the tables.
At noon, on the 'Earth and Sun' altar in Shuangyang City, the two lords of Dianfu and Fafu, along with their families and nine clans, were all helped to the altar.
The altar of Nuoda was full of hundreds of people.
The people of Shuangyang City began to gather around the altar to watch the excitement, and some of the civil forces that were preparing to launch a coup d'Γ©tat today also mixed in the crowd and waited for the changes.
On the altar, Nisuke and their family members all shouted and shouted that they were wronged.
"Wronged, why do you want to arrest us, why?"
"O king, are you going to kill your most heartfelt courtier, are you not afraid of being reviled by the world?"
"Oh my God, this is our king, he's going to kill his loyal subjects, mad, crazy!"
......
To this day, they are still lying to confuse the public. However, King Chen had no intention of gagging them at all, letting them continue to scold and shout.
No matter how much they complain, today they are dead.
These culprits, acne tumors, are finally going to be punished.
On the first day, when the sun was rising, King Chen put on the grandest royal robe, which was the same royal robe he wore when he ascended the throne, and walked up to the altar.
Then, he stretched out his sleeves, his eyes showed a cold light, looked at the city's citizens in the audience, and shouted.
"My people, I am your king. β
"I know that many of you have polished your murder weapons and are preparing to assassinate the king at this improvised sacrificial ceremony. β
"But before you wait for the assassination, listen to what the king should say, and finish it all. β
Chen Wang didn't want to explain the mistakes he had made, he was talking about everything according to Zhang Fan's script.
"First of all, this king is going to issue several decrees. β
"One, from now on, I will be exempt from tribute for three years in Shuangyang City. for the people of the city to recuperate and recuperate. After three years, the tribute will be paid according to the personal income, and those who have no personal income will be exempted from tribute and interest!"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone present did not expect that King Chen would issue a tribute decree at this time.
Three years of exemption from tribute, which is equivalent to three years, the palace will not have any income.
After three years, the tribute is paid according to the individual's income. This is even more unimaginable.
In this way, children or the elderly, who do not have the capacity for personal gain, will be exempted from paying tribute.
You must know that the last tribute law clearly stated that everyone would pay a tribute of fifty percent. It was precisely because of the pressure of this tribute that the people of the city felt resentment in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, now King Chen's words directly eliminated the tribute law that he personally promulgated three months ago.
What is this?
"Hmph, the promulgation of a new tribute law at this time is not just to buy people's hearts. β
"Don't be fooled by this faint king, he was forced to promulgate such a tribute law under pressure. Once he gains sovereignty, he will definitely get worse. β
In the crowd, someone was egging on the emotions of the city's citizens.
Some of the city's citizens who had originally believed it turned into indifferent faces in an instant, and decided not to be confused by the faint monarch in front of them anymore.
However, King Chen was completely unmoved, allowing the people below to scoff at his new tribute, and he continued.
"Second, from now on, copy the three auxiliaries all over the door, and give back to the people the property obtained. So that everyone can live and work in peace and enjoy peace. β
King Chen quickly said the second decree.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the audience were moved again.
Copy the three assistants to fill the door, and all the property obtained must be returned to them.
What a fortune that must be!
You must know that the money of any of these three auxiliary courts is scraped off the bodies of the subjects. Their wealth is like a mountain, if they give it back to the people of the city, then the citizens of Shuangyang City will definitely have a lot of money again.
And without paying tribute for three years, they will each be rich.
"Could this be true?"
Some people have begun to waver, if King Chen is really willing to copy the Sanfu Courtyard and return all the money to the people, then they can't trust him again.
"Do you still want to believe this faint king, will he be so kind as to return all the money and property of the Sanfu Courtyard to you?"
"That's right, he's buying people's hearts, he's still a faint king, don't believe him. β
The rebels were secretly instigating, but King Chen remained unmoved, and continued.
"Three, from now on, my Shuangyang City will abolish the clan as an official appointment system, implement a recruitment order, recruit talents from all over the world, and hundreds of officials in the palace, and those who are capable will live there. As long as you have both ability and political integrity, you can even go to the throne!"
Chen Wang's third sentence can be described as a sensation.
He even wants to abolish the clan system of appointing officials and relatives, which is a huge reform!
You must know that the five major kingdoms of Shanhai City and hundreds of royal cities are all clan officials and relatives.
This system refers to the fact that in a royal palace, all the eight rights and responsibilities are people of the same clan, and they are all of the same surname.
This makes a royal palace completely a family business, and ordinary people will not have any chance to step into the official career.
In this world, I don't know how many talented sages are full of ambitions, but there is no place to show.
And King Chen's recruitment order undoubtedly stirred the hearts of these talented people.
"King Chen, is what you said true? You want to recruit talents from all over the world?"
"King Chen, are you fighting to abolish the official position of the clan in the palace?"
"God, if that's the case, I'm willing to believe you one more time. β
"I'm also willing, if you really implement the recruitment order, I'm willing to believe you. β
At this moment, the broad masses of the people were excited, and for them, it was already a revolution.
And until now, King Chen is not bothered, because Zhang Fan still has a decree to say through his mouth.
"Fourth, from now on, the Legal Auxiliary Academy will be abolished and a new institution will be established. Implement the scientific examination system, select at all levels, and be talented in civil and military affairs. β
This last decree resonated with everyone.
In the mountain and sea realm, most of the people in power are martial artists with high cultivation. Because this is a world where the strong are respected.
However, in this way, those who are talented but weak because of their martial arts cultivation have no place to show.
I don't know how many talented people died of depression because their talents could not be displayed.
And now, Shuangyang City is going to implement the Civil and Military Auxiliary Academy, and divide the palace officials into civil and military generals, which is a new and most important reform!
Four decrees, one more striking than the other.
In particular, the last two items are directly related to the reform of politics and law. How much courage does it take to abolish and revise the system that has lasted for thousands of years in the realm of mountains and seas to make such a change!
In the crowd, there have even been admirers, admirers of King Chen.
How can a person who can say such a thing be a faint king?
"King Chen, we support you, we support you. β
"King Chen, your reform is really wonderful, and I am full of hope for the future. β
"It seems that we are wrong to blame King Chen, he will not be a faint monarch, how can he be a faint monarch if he can issue such a decree?"
......
Looking at the more and more admirers appearing in the crowd, they couldn't help but be shocked when they stood on Yin Lu not far away.
They knew that every word and every word that King Chen said was told to him by Zhang Fan in advance.
It is equivalent to saying that these decrees issued by King Chen are not his ideas, but Zhang Fan.
Yin Lu and Si Xing couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan, one of them was the king and the other was the future king.
However, when he looked at Zhang Fan, he felt ashamed of himself.
"Are these decrees really feasible?" Si Xing couldn't help but ask Yin Lu beside him.
After hearing this, Yin Lu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have never heard of these decrees of sir. But when I hear it today, I feel that this is the coming of a new era that will change the reign of our king. β
The rule of our 'king' needs change, innovation, and a happier people.
After hearing this, Si Xing was silent. He suddenly found that in front of Zhang Fan and Yin Lu, he was really like an ignorant child.
"I'm going to take the two decrees behind my husband back to Spark City for implementation, although my Spark City is a city of border stops, there are constant wars all year round. But it's time for change. β
Yin Lu knew that Zhang Fan was an extraordinary person, and every word Zhang Fan was saying now, he was listening to it as a golden jade.
Zhang Fan helped the desperate King Chen and turned over overnight, which shows how capable he is as a city assistant.
"Brother Xing, if you have the assistance of your husband, I believe that you will definitely become a king who surpasses your father. β
Yin Lu said to Si Xing on the side, which made Si Xing's heart tremble. He had even forgotten what his purpose was.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this king is finished. This king is indeed not a virtuous king, this king is a faint king, mediocre and unreasonable. β
"But the king has repented. Finally, the king has one more thing to say, that day after this day, the king will take off his crown and step down from his throne. This king is no longer worthy of the king. β
Chen Wang suddenly said such a thing, which stunned the audience, including Zhang Fan.
"I'm Cao, this isn't in my script!"
Zhang Fan was speechless, he didn't let King Chen take the blame and resign, if he didn't do it, wouldn't his position as a city assistant be in vain?
This King Chen was actually a temporary decision and would no longer be the king. Especially when he saw the reform decree given to him by Zhang Fan, he knew that in front of Zhang Fan, he was completely unworthy of being the king.
"This king ascended the throne sixteen and reigned ten years. In the past ten years, I have been deceived and have not done a single right thing. Let this king do the only thing worthy of the people of Shuangyang City before he abdicates!"
"Come on, this group of chaotic ministers and thieves, corrupt officials and rebels, and traitors and evildoers will correct the law on the spot and sacrifice to the sky. β
After King Chen finished speaking, he opened his arms, leaned down and knelt down towards the thousands of city citizens in front of him.
On the altar behind him, the rebels were all pushed down into the lava field.
"This guy, uneasy about the script?"
Zhang Fan was stunned, according to his script, there was no trick of King Chen kneeling.
He wants a strong overlord, not a weak benevolent king.
However, it seems that according to King Chen's character, he can't be an overlord.
But his kneeling made the citizens of Shuangyang City extremely moved, and even burst into tears.
Sometimes, a king doesn't have to rule overbearingly, but also needs benevolent guidance......
Chen Wang taught Zhang Fan a lesson.
