Chapter 851: The Emperor's Troubles
Ascending the throne and becoming the emperor may be an infinitely beautiful thing in the eyes of others, but here in Qin Ning, it has become an extremely depressing thing.
Qin Ning is a person who does practical things, and in Qin Ning's opinion, red tape is all things that delay time and waste life.
Since living in the palace, Qin Ning found that his freedom was almost deprived. The guard is tight, and there are subordinates who hug each move, no matter where they go, they must explain it clearly and clearly. As long as it is slightly out of the line of sight of the surveillance, someone will immediately report it to the supervisor.
At that time, a large group of people rushed to the palace as if they had stung their buttocks, and asked Qin Ning where he had gone, why didn't he tell the security personnel to do a good job of guarding.
At the beginning, Qin Ning patiently explained that he just wanted to be quiet and find a place where no one was around.
But such a reply always invites a respectful but unusually firm answer, no!
Later, Qin Ning's temper also came up, and when there were officials interfering with his whereabouts again, he vented his dissatisfaction sharply. I'm already an emperor, why do I have to be constrained everywhere in everything? Can't I just go around if I want to?
The officials immediately fell to their knees in unison, and exhorted Qin Ning bitterly to be the most important thing about the country, the emperor was the king of a country, and a slight business trip would plunge the country into disaster.
In short, it is a principle, the emperor boss is not the slightest problem, even if it is a little bit of skin will cause turmoil, so the emperor must not be capricious, to show the mind and bearing of the most high-ranking person, and understand the hard work of his subordinates, so that he can be admired by all the people. The country is eternal.
Qin Ning never thought that he would have a day to serve. The courtiers in charge of security knelt together, reasoning with the facts, and even wept bitterly, until the end. After Qin Ning promised that he would not act without permission, these people dispersed.
This kind of life made Qin Ning feel aggrieved, and Qin Ning immediately called Qiu Wenhe over.
Seeing that Qiu Wenhe was about to kneel down after shouting long live, Qin Ning said angrily: "You still come to this set, hurry up and talk well!"
Qiu Wenhe was unhurried, thanking Lord Longen. Then he got up and asked, "Your Majesty, what are the instructions for summoning the ministers here?"
Qin Ning was angry, so he poured out all his unhappiness, and finally asked, "Wenhe, I don't understand." Why is it that after becoming an emperor, I have no freedom? Is it interesting to receive prostrations and worship every day?"
Qiu Wenhe said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you have made a mistake, you can't say me, but you should call yourself me." ”
"What is it?" Qin Ning's fire suddenly became bigger, "I thought it was not a good thing to be an emperor at the beginning, it was really a nightmare come true." How good do you say I am? I have to come up with such a tongue-twisting self-title. Wenhe, can't we do something if we don't become emperors?"
"Huh. It's just a matter of habit, and after a while you get used to it. Don't say it. There are some things that have to be solved by being an emperor. Whether it is from the hearts of civil and military officials or ordinary people, there is a psychological bearing problem. If the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, it will not be done. The emperor is the supreme head of the state, and the system of decrees issued will be recognized, and others will ......"
Speaking of this, Qiu Wenhe restrained his smile. Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, all systems should be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It has to be logical. It can even be said that it does not matter whether a system is good or bad. But legitimacy is the most important thing in order to enforce the ban. Otherwise, anyone can call the shots, and won't the world be in chaos?"
Qin Ning grinned when he heard it, but Qiu Wenhe's words were unable to refute.
Qiu Wenhe knew that if Qin Ning, an emperor with a distinct personality and a strong will, could listen to it, he had to come up with irrefutable reasons and facts.
"陛xià, in the final analysis, the rules of a qiē are all for the purpose of maintaining the stability of the entire regime. You think, if you have an accident, what will the people think? The emperor can have an accident, wouldn't the common people be even more dangerous? It can be said that your every move will affect the nerves of countless people. ”
There is no way to refute it! Qin Ning could only hold this breath in his stomach.
In fact, all the important military and political positions in the Great Qin Dynasty were in the hands of the old Qin army. And the Qin army did not have a corresponding ceremonial official. In the past, the Qin army was fighting, what did you want so many etiquette officials to do?
But now it's different, Qin Ning is the emperor, and the relevant etiquette and honor guards must meet the royal standards. Qiu Wenhe knew that Qin Ning didn't like this set very much, but he couldn't help it. The people of the Blue Star Empire are accustomed to the pomp and circumstance of the rulers, and if you don't take that out, the people will question the ability of the new ruler.
Therefore, Qiu Wenhe screened the officials who were originally in charge of the emperor's etiquette one by one, and carefully selected and enriched them to Qin Ning's side. Qiu Wenhe persuaded Qin Ning, it is not impossible to change if you want to, but you have to take your time.
It doesn't matter whether a system is suitable or not, the key is whether the system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as it is conventional, try not to challenge its authority, otherwise it will pay a very painful price.
Qin Ning listened to it and bared his teeth, Qiu Wenhe is a good hand at handling political affairs, these truths are also bloody realities, some things are obviously unreasonable, and you still have to maintain these things.
"Wenhe, I also understand your hard work. Forget it, you can put up with these things for a while and make changes when the time is right. But there was one thing that I had to solve myself. ”
"Your Majesty, aren't you looking for an excuse to slip away? This is absolutely not good, the country is like the human body, and the whole body is affected by a hair, and you, the leader, have to appear in front of the officials and the people at any time. ”
Qin Ning waved his hand and said, "No, Wenhe, because of the affairs on the side of the Blue Star Empire, on the side of the Abyss Empire, we haven't passed for a long time, and we don't know what happened to Qin Feng and Mu Xiongtian." In any case, even if we show our faces, it will be an encouragement to the soldiers of the Abyss Empire. ”
Qiu Wenhe said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, now that you are the emperor, how can it be so easy to move? All the state decrees come from your final decision, even if you don't show up for a day, the official affairs that have piled up are massive." ”
Qin Ning really knew the inconvenience of the king of a country this time, when he was not the emperor, as long as there was something, he would say hello to the people in the army and leave. Now, both steps are discussed collectively.
Qiu Wen and Qin Ning, wanting to go to the Abyss Empire meant that Qin Ning would not be able to appear in the court of the Blue Star Empire for a long time, and the country's important affairs could not afford to wait. Qin Ning had to authorize a person who made the policy to be able to barely get out.
When Qin Ning gathered all the civil and military officials and said his idea of going to the Abyss Empire to deal with things in person, there was an uproar in the court.
Immediately stood up several people, citing scriptures, saying that the emperor of the Son of Heaven must not be in danger, and finally the Blue Star Empire was put on the right track, if the Son of Heaven has something, the country will be in turmoil out of control, please Emperor Xià Wanwan to take the common people as the most important and take back his life.
As soon as these people finished speaking, they immediately lined up dozens of people, knelt on the ground, and shouted for the ministers to second!
Qin Ning's head was so big for a while that he didn't even bother to lose his temper.
Fortunately, Qiu Wenhe came out to the rescue, saying that the Abyss Empire is the land of His Majesty's Longxing, and there are countless soldiers who are eager to bathe in the grace of heaven and see the face of the sky.
As for the decision-making vacuum left by the departure of His Majesty the Emperor, it can be seen that the crown prince will be in charge of the country and the emperor will come to Yunyun in person.
Qin Ning originally thought that when he became the emperor, he would be able to establish a corresponding office, and with the coordination of the regularized departments, the efficiency would be higher, but now it seems that it is really painful to talk nonsense before doing things.
The ministers were finally moved by Qiu Wenhe's words, but they demanded that His Majesty the Emperor must ensure absolute safety and grandeur when he travels far into the Abyss Empire, and must lead 200,000 forbidden army guards, as well as various royal honor guards, miscellaneous servants and servants who serve food and daily life, etc., and notify all places along the way to prepare to welcome the holy car.
In this way, if Qin Ning wants to make the trip, he will have two months of preparation time just to prepare.
Qin Ning almost rolled his eyes, calculating the time, the enemy who came from the heavenly realm will come down soon, where is there time to fix this? In the end, Qin Ning made a strong face to dispel public opinion, leaving the crown prince Qin Huang in charge of the country, and electing eight ministers to assist the government, and the queen Zhen Xue made the final decision.
After explaining the state affairs, Qin Ning immediately led Qiu Wenhe and escaped from the palace hall.
After coming out, Qin Ning immediately dragged Qiu Wenhe into the sky, and flew all the way to Lingtu City of the Abyss Empire like a meteor catching the moon.
When he arrived here, Qin Ning found the feeling he hadn't felt for a long time, and he was so kind!
When Mu Xiongtian heard that Qin Ning was coming, he happily came out to greet him, and everyone still saluted according to the rules of the Qin army, without so much red tape. Qiu Wenhe wanted to remind Mu Xiongtian to meet him with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, but seeing that Qin Ning was so happy, he dispelled this idea.
Qin Ning asked Qiu Wenhe to chat with Mu Xiongtian first, and he found his doppelganger Qin Tian, and found the memory of his time away from Qin Tian's memory. In Qin Tian's memory, nothing happened during this time, but there was one thing that was very wrong, Qin Ning found that the hostile forces of the Abyss Empire had secretly accumulated troops and wanted to deal with the Qin army!
This question was Qin Ning's biggest concern, so he went back to Mu Xiongtian and Qiu Wenhe and asked what was going on.
Mu Xiongtian reported to Qin Ning, but this was actually just a guess based on the observations gathered around the Qin army's forces.
The scouts found that there had been a large-scale troop movement in the surrounding cities controlled by the Qin army, so Mu Xiongtian also gathered troops to reinforce him.
But before the Qin army could reach the main force, the opponent's forces retreated.
Mu Xiongtian remembered Qin Ning's explanation and did not take the initiative to start a war with the other party, so he ordered the scouts in front to observe closely and withdrew the large army. (To be continued) R655
