Chapter 24: Cutting the Domain

At this time, Cang Rin's face had completely sunk.

Although he didn't say a word, the suppressed and cold aura gradually permeated the entire court, and everyone unconsciously bent over and did not dare to speak.

His Majesty was angry.

Although they sometimes quarrel in the court, they have never forgotten who is the real master in this court, and their majesty does not rule the country with benevolence and virtue, but with soldiers and the rule of law.

This is also the reason why the officials have always quarreled with Yingguo Gong about Yin Lirong's immorality, and have never brought up the woman who His Majesty sent the black armor guard to protect.

Some things can be touched, and some things can't.

In the past ten years, His Majesty, who has never had a woman by his side, suddenly appeared a woman who he loved very much, and everyone knew that it could not be messed with.

It's just a folk woman, and Your Majesty is spoiled.

"What kind of thing are you, dare to come and influence Lone's decision!"

Cang Rin's words are not ruthless, after all, to him, Yingguo Gong is his uncle.

But the people in the court did not accuse him of Cang Rin's words, after all, Cang Rin was known for being ruthless and not recognizing his six relatives.

The reason why he was able to sit on the throne back then was because he killed three princes and six royal relatives.

No one would suspect Cang Rin's ruthlessness.

"Since you like to make decisions for Gu so much, do you want to give up the throne to you!" Saying that, Cang Rin stood up directly from the dragon chair, the golden dragon robe fell to the ground, and everyone hung their heads and knelt on the ground, including Yingguo Gong, who started to stir up trouble.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

All the ministers shouted in unison.

Just when the ministers under the hall were nervously out of breath, Cang Rin finally sat down.

"Since this matter has passed, let's talk about the cutting of the domain."

The hearts of the ministers who had just loosened their hearts were brought up again because of Cang Rin's words.

This is the second time that His Majesty has mentioned it at the court meeting, but the matter of cutting the feudal domain is equivalent to putting a long knife on the neck of the feudal kings in various places, and if you are not careful, you will be devastated.

No one wants to take this headless errand, and no one wants to do this offending work, so after Cang Rin finished speaking, the originally noisy court was so quiet that it seemed that even a needle could be heard on the ground.

"Don't you want to talk?" After Cang Rin finished speaking, there was still no response. "Then another one! From the beginning of spring tomorrow, the fields will be re-expanded, and the fields will be rectified, but it is lonely to see, the Great Zhou Dynasty has ten thousand acres of fertile land, and what taxes are less than one year a year! ”

After Cang Rin finished speaking, the sound of loud panting could hardly be heard in the hall.

Even if he is an upright official in the court, he cannot guarantee that no one in his family will encroach on the fields and annex the land.

If the reduction of the feudal domain touched the interests of the vassal kings, then the re-sizing of the fields and the rectification of the fields touched the interests of their group of large landowners, nobles, and including the vassal kings.

No one dares to speak, no one dares to respond, no matter which errand, it is a drudgery of hitting a stone with an egg and fighting for one's life, and if you make a slight mistake, you will fall into the abyss, and you will never recover.

"Oh, but that's it." Cang Rin looked coldly at the courtiers kneeling on the ground, got up and left the court directly.

……

After Cang Rin went down to the upper study, it didn't take long for his henchmen to enter the upper study one by one, just at a glance, among the seven officials, only two were civil officials, and the official positions of these two civil officials were only in the fifth grade.

"Tell me about today's affairs in the DPRK and China, and how to deal with it." Cang Rin looked at the fold in his hand and asked.

The people below, you look at me, I look at you, they all hope that the other party can speak first, and finally, everyone's eyes turned to the military advisor in them, and Lu Sheng, who was also one of the two civil servants inside.

Lu Sheng had no choice but to take a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to follow the Queen Mother's wishes than to let Yin Lirong miss this draft." ”

Everyone looked at Lu Sheng with admiration, it seemed that he was right to say this, His Majesty only said to ask about today's affairs in the court, and did not ask what it was.

Cang Rin raised his head and looked at Lu Sheng, and finally didn't say why he changed the topic, but leaned back on the chair behind him and said, "Tell me why." ”

Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty, you also know the temper of the Queen Mother, this time you rejected a stupid Yin Lirong, then maybe next time it will be a clever Yang Lirong, instead of waiting for the Queen Mother to make a new move, it is better to put the stupid and easy-to-handle one in front of you in the palm of your hand, and you can't turn over any storms." ”

"Then have you ever thought about the consequences of the change of the reign of the king of a country?" Cang Rin didn't say whether his plan was good or bad, but just opened his mouth to question.

Lu Sheng's waist bent even lower, "I think it won't be long before the Queen Mother will come to your majesty to intercede, and Your Majesty will respond to the situation when the time comes, and then take advantage of this opportunity to establish a reputation for filial piety and bowing to yourself, and close the relationship between Your Majesty and the courtiers and the people." ”

After all, in the eyes of the ministers and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Cang Rin is the Son of Heaven who coexists with ruthlessness and majesty, and the god of war who has made great achievements and blessed the Great Zhou. No matter which title it is, it has nothing to do with being close to the people and being kind.

Sure enough, not long after Lu Sheng said this, the Queen Mother sent someone to say that she wanted to see His Majesty.

Cang Rin casually threw the fold in his hand on the table, got up and said, "Don't think that you can let you go by changing the topic, tomorrow Gu will see your fold about cutting the feudal domain and rectifying the field endowment, step down." ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone looked at the departing Cang Rin, except for one of the generals who didn't understand the situation and was happy, everyone else had sad faces.

"You look like you're like a dead father, aren't you just the last one!"

If it's really just a fold, then it's fine, I'm afraid that this errand will fall on me, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that I can only send the old and young in the family away and take office.

……

When Cang Rin came to Cining Palace, a noble lady in a purple dress was half-leaning on the soft couch, with a headscarf on her forehead, looking unwell.

Cang Rin strode up to the Queen Mother and saluted her, and then sat down on the chair next to her without waiting for the Queen Mother to say anything.

"Since the queen mother is sick, why don't you just find a doctor to come over for treatment."

"Back to Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor has already come to see it. The Queen Mother wanted to see Your Majesty for many days, so she wanted to talk to Your Majesty. ”

Cang Rin looked at the queen mother, who was still alive yesterday and sick today, and asked patiently: "The queen mother said, the son is here." ”

"I heard that you raised a girl outside the palace." Xu was too anxious in her heart, so the Queen Mother went straight to the point and stepped into the theme.

Since Yin Lirong knew about the existence of Jin Yu, the queen mother must have also received the news, and Cang Rin didn't want to continue to hide it, he nodded and admitted calmly, "Yes." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, a gentle smile appeared on her face and said, "Since you like it, why don't you put it in the palace." ”

"Are you sure?"
