Chapter 311: Emperor Regent
In the star field, an old man sat cross-legged, his eyes always staring at one place.
A bald monk Yukong passed by, just glanced at it, and then stepped back.
He walked over to the old man and patted him on the shoulder.
"Lao Xu, what are you doing here?"
The old man immediately turned his head to look in the other direction.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly had an experience here, and I want to try to break through the realm."
"No, you were here when I passed by three days ago, and you're still here."
The monk followed the old man's gaze and found that it was just an ordinary world, and there was nothing abnormal.
But when he released his divine sense and perceived it carefully, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"This world has just been born!"
Not only that, but he also sensed the power of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and he could sense that this world could not be condensed and could not carry his power.
So, it is impossible to enter this world at this time.
It is precisely because of this that the other party will always stay here, just to win the Hongmeng purple gas for the first time.
"Lao Xu, you are not authentic, you can't swallow such a good thing alone?"
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fists clenched.
"Monk, are you going to fight with me?"
"Lao Xu, what do you and I know here, such a natural treasure, how can there be an indisputable truth?"
Scold!
The old man suddenly stood up and glared angrily.
The monk immediately took a defensive stance, apparently ready to move at any time.
An hour later......
The two of them still maintained their original position, and neither of them made the first move.
The monk couldn't help it, scratched his ears, and then immediately took a pose again.
It's just that the two of them are looking at the world that is becoming more and more solid.
……
Zichen Palace.
This time, the empress specially arranged a seat for Li Yunsheng, next to the dragon chair on the platform.
After the hundred officials worshipped, Jiang Qingying gave Shangguan Xuanran a look.
Shangguan was uproared and immediately took out the prepared holy decree.
"Your Majesty has a will!"
Hearing this, the hundred officials immediately knelt on the ground and listened to the hadith.
Shangguan Yuran continued.
"Although I am in poor health, the government cannot be abolished.
The king of Jin is virtuous and talented, and from now on, he will occupy the throne of the regent and govern on behalf of me. ”
Regent throne!
These four words are like thunder exploding in the court.
You must know that Li Yunsheng has been named the king of Jin, and the travel regulations are all the same as those of the emperor, and he is only half a step away from the real emperor's throne.
Now he has been named the emperor again, and he is a few points closer to the emperor.
If the Son of Heaven does not come out, Li Yunsheng can act on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, by all means!"
Huo Dingwen was the first to stand up and express his opposition.
He finally took advantage of Li Yunsheng's absence to clean up the officialdom of the Beijing Division.
If the other party becomes the emperor, won't all his hard work be in vain?
However, the empress has made up her mind.
She knew that she was not suitable to be the emperor at all, so she did not directly give way to Li Yunsheng as the emperor, and she just didn't want to lose the so-called Jiang family.
"I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say much.
I am not discussing this matter with you, you just have to do what you are told. ”
Li Yunsheng looked at Huo Dingwen under the platform with interest, to be honest, it was the first time he sat on the platform and looked down on the hundred officials.
I can't help but think of what his father said: The official seems to be galloping, and the official is the first, and when he looks back, he is full of smiling faces. When you are a petty official, when you look ahead, it is all sycophancy.
Now, he just wanted to tell Li Ling that when the emperor saw all he saw was the head with an official hat on his head.
"Huo Shangshu."
Although he did not agree with the empress's will, he had no right to oppose the empress's insistence on issuing the decree.
After all, the current empress is already in power.
Li Yunsheng in front of him is already the emperor, and when he plays right, he can only be called a minister.
"The minister is here."
"During my absence, you have done a good job as a scholar."
"Emperor Xie Xie complimented."
"Heh-" Li Yunsheng snorted coldly, "You really think I'm praising you?" ”
Li Yunsheng stood up directly, pointed at Huo Dingwen and asked.
"A few years ago, the catastrophe of the Western Zhou Dynasty was even more severe than today's Great Chu, and it did not provoke a civil uprising.
As soon as you took office, there was a civil uprising and a siege of the city, haven't you realized your mistake in disaster relief? ”
Speaking of disaster relief, Huo Dingwen's waist straightened a little.
"The civil rebellion this time was really due to the war against the Three Kingdoms, which led to the emptiness of the national treasury.
The state treasury could not come up with so much money, which led to the unsatisfactory effect of disaster relief in many places. ”
Li Yunsheng naturally came prepared, he threw out an account book and threw it in front of Huo Dingwen.
"This is the disaster disaster in the Western Zhou Dynasty a few years ago, and the disaster relief funds required by various provinces and states and the corresponding number of victims.
Take a good look at what you're left behind? ”
Huo Dingwen picked up the account book, flipped through it carefully, and muttered in his mouth.
"No way, no way!"
The Western Zhou Dynasty arbitrarily selected a place with the same population as the Great Chu, even if the disaster was more serious than the Great Chu, the disaster relief funds allocated by the Western Zhou court were far less than the disaster relief funds allocated by the Great Chu.
Li Yunsheng continued.
"When you were a assassin in Weiguo before, you also experienced disasters, so I don't need to say more about this disaster relief."
Huo Dingwen still shook his head vigorously.
"The food purchased with these relief funds, even at the usual price, is not enough to feed so many people."
"Of course, it's not enough to keep everyone full, so if you want someone not to starve, you can only make everyone hungry."
Li Yunsheng's words are tantamount to a slap in the face to Huo Dingwen.
His mouth muttered, "Let everything be overfed......"
Wang Yi, who was once the chief of the Assassin's Mansion, had also experienced disasters, and immediately understood the meaning of Li Yunsheng's words.
Compared with the porridge shed opened during the disaster relief, Huo has a minimum requirement, that is, the porridge can stick into the chopsticks without falling over.
Otherwise, it will be punished as corrupt and perverted by law.
In this way, the victims who received the porridge were naturally full.
However, those who did not receive the porridge had to go hungry.
There is only so much silver for disaster relief in the court, and it is impossible to feed everyone.
Therefore, fewer people starve to death, so that the standard of porridge can only be lowered, so that everyone can drink a mouthful of gruel and not starve to death.
He also knew that at the beginning, in Weidi, the other two states that were affected by the disaster, all the grain left by Taishuwei was sold at a high price.
The food provided to the victims was replaced with bran and forage for the animals, which not everyone could eat.
The other two states were too greedy, so they provoked a popular uprising.
But if Huo Xiang only learned from the two assassins, he would not have come to this point.
He hadn't been reminded of this.
However, Huo Xiang insisted that only by feeding the victims could it be regarded as disaster relief.
Li Yunsheng said directly.
"You are not like me, you can get money for disaster relief.
is not like the Western Zhou Dynasty, which can deal with the people in the disaster area.
You say, how do you deserve this Shangshu Ling? ”
Huo Dingwen was a little unconvinced.
"Could it be that the Emperor has a way?"
"I-"
Ahem.
Li Yunsheng coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment.
reprimanded Huo Dingwen for being too involved, he almost really regarded himself as an emperor.
On the side, Jiang Qingying couldn't help it, and two dimples appeared on her face.
"Tomorrow, I'll give you the dragon chair to sit on."
