Court.

Lan Yao sat on a high seat in full costume, looking down at the restless courtiers kneeling on top of the magnificent hall, and her heart was also slightly beating.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

The sound of saluting and worshipping sounded, but Lan Yao did not feel the pleasure of being a superior, but when she looked at these uneasy courtiers, a coldness appeared in her heart.

Sure enough, it's cold from a high place!

Although these people looked respectful and sincere when they knelt down, they actually had different thoughts, and they all wanted to pull her down from this position.

Lan Yao didn't intend to continue to let this dull atmosphere continue, she raised her hand slightly: "Get up!" ”

The ministers quickly got up, and no one dared to speak easily in the face of each other.

After all, if the former female tyrant had nothing to do, she would never have held a court meeting in the morning, and even if she really had something to order, the time was extremely arbitrary.

Now that the court is so well-behaved, and the queen has not been notified, what kind of big event will it be?

Just when all the ministers were panicked and the atmosphere became more and more solemn, Lan Yao, who finally couldn't stand it, took the lead in speaking: "Ministers, do you have any urgent matters to report?" ”

Lan Yao's behavior became more and more weird, even a few Shangshu couldn't guess it, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Her Majesty the Empress, who had an uncertain temperament.

The ministers didn't dare to say more for fear of causing death, and seeing that the atmosphere was stagnant, Qi Yuming, as the prime minister of the dynasty, had no choice but to step forward and speak:

"Dongchen has been destroyed, and the sixteen cities have been merged into my Daxuan, the queen means that the remnants of Dongchen are all untouchables, because they are dissatisfied with this policy, and occasionally there are displaced people who resist, may I ask Your Majesty what to do?"

Lan Yao deliberately didn't call Feng Yan, just to overturn this decision, she hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and said very naturally:

"Isn't the Prime Minister confused? Dongchen has been destroyed, from now on, the remnants of Dongchen are my Daxuan people, since they are the people, they should be treated equally, how can they be untouchable? ”

Lan Yao's voice was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and it quickly set off an uproar in the hearts of the ministers:

"Doesn't such an intensification of contradictions force them to continue confrontation? Since ancient times, those who have persuaded others with their strength have not been convinced, and they have not been able to support them; Those who convince people with virtue will be happy and sincere in the center. ”

"In the final analysis, all the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment, and if there is no great declaration to give them such a life, why worry that they will not be willing to submit?"

"Chuan's order, the former Dongchen subordinate, re-establish the state capital, put it under direct management, and reduce taxes for another three years, which will be implemented immediately!"

The sudden serious order, and such a quotation from the scriptures, really made all the courtiers stunned and stunned in place.

Lan Yao also understood that she had changed a little bit, she was not in a hurry to make an edict against herself, but just did something serious first to test whether the majesty of the female tyrant and her own methods were effective.

The entire hall quickly fell silent, and the ministers did not dare to express their opinions easily because of the authority of the female tyrant.

After all, this so-called court, since Ning Shu, the empress and Her Majesty ascended the throne, it has become a hall of words in the past year, but anyone who disobeys her will and speaks out, will be killed with a cane on the spot, and Ling Chi is executed and his family is exterminated.

Even a gentleman with a dignified and arrogant backbone, after making many senseless sacrifices, has to hide his edge.

After all, this Imperial Historical Observatory has been abolished, knowing that there is no hope for a dead end, it is natural to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity!

Lan Yao tilted her head, not knowing whether to be glad that no one objected to what she said, or to be sad that no one inside and outside the court dared to admonish.

If you don't listen to good opinions and ideas with an open mind, and blindly use it for yourself, it will be a matter of time before it ends.

Looks like she needs to figure out something!

Even though she was very nervous in her heart, Lan Yao still grasped the state that the superior should have, and immediately ordered:

"Since all the ministers have no opinions, then this matter will be pushed forward like this, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, you and the relevant departments will come up with a detailed and feasible plan as soon as possible and hand it in, be quick, I will give you three days, don't let me down!"

The head of the household department and the head of the Ministry of Industry did not dare to have an opinion, and immediately bowed their heads and obeyed orders.

Just when all the ministers looked at Her Majesty the Empress, who was suddenly so concerned about national affairs, Lan Yao once again put forward an unbelievable order:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been awakened by nightmares for days, warned by heaven and earth, and I am very covered, if I can't get to the root of the source, the fortunes of the country will decline."

"From now on, I will change my mind, humbly accept advice, and restore the old system of Yushitai, and no one will be convicted for advice."

As soon as these words came out, the Quartet was shocked.

Of course, no one present believed such a statement.

The name of a tyrant is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and who would risk their lives to choose to believe this command that is clearly a joke?

Lan Yao glanced at the past slightly, and knew that her words, in addition to causing an uproar, would not make the ministers who were afraid of her change their minds, so she quickly said:

"I will no longer act as absurdly as before, and from this day on, the ministers and the people will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold for those who have stabbed me in the face; Those who write to me will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver; Those who can slander and ridicule the city and smell my ears will be rewarded with a hundred dollars. ”

"This matter is fully entrusted to King Jing Ning Yi to be responsible, and later the Zhongshu Province will draft a decree and pass on the order to the world!"

Lan Yao's change was too sudden, the ministers were shocked to the extreme, and whispers occasionally sounded in the hall, only Hubu Shangshu, who was anxious and fearful to the extreme, said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, if you are not willing to disobey Your Majesty's wide-ranging speech, in fact, after the allocation of military expenses, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet, if you want to reduce Dongchen's taxes and allocate money and rewards, it will not be able to make up for the construction of the mausoleum and the star-picking tower."

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Lu Feng, the head of the household, had already said these words with the determination to die, after all, if he couldn't solve the dilemma of the overstretched treasury, he would still definitely die.

Lan Yao looked at this Shangshu Lord who was so frightened, and he really didn't get angry as the ministers imagined, but instead raised his hand with a smile and praised:

"Okay, very good, I Daxuan is a minister who needs Lu Shangshu to dare to speak out, I think this opinion is very reasonable, reward a hundred taels of gold!"

Lu Feng was already ready to withstand the thunderous wrath from Her Majesty the Empress, but the sudden reward still made him reply in disbelief:

"Then, may I ask Your Majesty, how should this matter be resolved?"

Yao Siwen had been standing behind him, and when he saw this upright temperament Lu Feng talking like this, he immediately snorted coldly: "Bold, don't you thank you for the reward?" It's—"

Lan Yao didn't need to listen to it to know that this was not a good stubble Yao Siwen wanted to fake a tiger again, and immediately interrupted him in a cool voice: "Shut up, I and Hubu Shangshu are discussing national affairs, what are you going to interject?" ”

Lu Feng finally reacted to what he should do, and hurriedly knelt down in fear and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward!" ”

Yao Siwen was accustomed to being majestic on weekdays, and after being reprimanded coldly, he hurriedly asked for sin: "The slave is too talkative, please forgive your majesty." ”

Lan Yao coldly glanced at Father-in-law Yao, who was always bad for her good deeds, and was thinking about how to let him get out, but there was a very unprecedented decision on his face:

"Since I have decided to speak widely, it is only natural that I should also respond to the advice, and I deeply believe what Tobe Shangshu said. From now on, the construction of the Star Picking Tower and the construction of the mausoleum will be stopped from the simplest, and all the money that should be saved will be used to reward the people who give advice and the people's livelihood. ”

"What I said today, all the ministers should come up with a feasible plan as soon as possible!"

As soon as the word came out, the Quartet was horrified!
