Chapter 70: This King Makes a Bet with You (Part 1!)
Dali, above the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, don't! Easily changing the legal system of the ancestors will inevitably lead to disaster, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yiguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, burst into tears, knelt in the hall, looking like a brave and loyal minister desperately trying to dissuade the faint monarch, and saw Qin Hao, who was standing next to Duan Zhengchun's dragon chair, secretly pouting in his heart.
These pedantic old guys, who open their mouths and close their mouths, are the legal system of their ancestors, and they don't know how to be flexible at all, they are really old stubborn who have brought disaster to the country and the people!
After returning from Da Liao, Qin Hao discussed with Duan Yu, and after reporting to Duan Zhengchun, he immediately began to change the law.
Emperor Baoding has completely become a monk and lived in seclusion in Tianlong Temple, passed the throne to Duan Zhengchun, Duan Yu became the prince of Dali, and Qin Hao also changed from the eldest prince of Zhennan Wangfu to the king of Zhenbei.
The title of the king of Zhenbei is also thanks to the national letter of Da Liao, as well as the cattle, sheep and horses sent with the national letter.
Dali's national strength is weak, and it stands to reason that it can't catch up with the Great Liao State at all, this time the content of the national letter shook the entire Dali Kingdom, plus Duan Zhengchun ascended the throne as the emperor, Qin Hao became the king of Zhenbei like this.
With Wang Jue, he naturally has the qualifications to participate in politics, and the time is limited, Qin Hao did not delay in the slightest, and directly threw out the idea of reform of the law that he had planned a long time ago.
The crown prince Duan Yu naturally raised his hands in favor, and Duan Zhengchun also supported Qin Hao's proposal to change the law, but there was quite a lot of opposition above the court of Dali.
Among them, it is headed by Zhu Yiguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
"Why can't the legal system of the ancestors be changed? My Dali's etiquette, law, and military system are all learned from the Great Song Dynasty, can the national conditions of the Great Song Dynasty be the same as my Dali?"
Looking at Zhu Yiguang's crying face, Qin Hao couldn't help it, and said with a cold snort:
"Now that Da Liao and I Dali have established diplomatic relations, providing us with horses, cattle and sheep, we can train war horses, and make leather armor, and the conflict between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia is constantly flawless, and it is the best opportunity to change the law and try to become stronger!"
"Zhu Shangshu, you are blocking in every way, can't you see that my Dali is strong?"
Qin Hao said these things earlier, which had already been mentioned in the law change document, Zhu Shangshu sneered unruly, and didn't pay attention to it at all, but in the end, this heart-wrenching words made Zhu Shangshu change color.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal to my Dali and have no selfish intentions, Your Majesty!"
You are so ignorant and stubborn, the more unselfish you are, the greater the harm to my Dali!"
Qin Hao snorted coldly, there are many old stubborns like Zhu Shangshu above the court, and they belong to the kind of stubborn and unreasonable arguments.
You reason with him, he intercedes with you, you intercede with him, he plays tricks with you!
For this kind of old stubbornness, Qin Hao really doesn't have the patience to spend it with him, and he doesn't have time to spend it anymore!
Reform is imminent, and it can't be delayed any longer!
Qin Hao decided to use the belly pocket of bad luck!
Don't these old guys always talk about destiny?
Okay, master, I'll let you see what destiny is!
"Zhu Shangshu, you all think that changing the law and restructuring is against the ancestral teachings, and you will suffer disasters, right?"
Qin Hao suddenly asked with a smile towards Zhu Yiguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
"That's right! The rules of the ancestors cannot be changed! If they are changed, they will be disobedient and unfilial, and they will suffer disaster!"
Although he felt that Qin Hao's smile was a little strange, Zhu Shangshu still said loudly with righteous words.
"Very good! Who else thinks the same as Zhu Shangshu? Stand up!"
The secretary of the ministry, the household department, and the ministry of work...... As long as the elderly ministers in the middle of the court almost all stood up, accounting for two-thirds of all the courtiers!
"So many people are against ......"
Duan Zhengchun's brows furrowed slightly, he couldn't make up his mind, the reform of the law would encounter resistance, which Duan Zhengchun had also thought about, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a big resistance.
If all these people are all against it, even if they forcibly implement the reform of the law, I am afraid that it will be twice the result with half the effort, and may even have the opposite effect!
"Hao'er, I think this matter should be postponed today?"
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I know it in my heart, you can watch it with peace of mind, there will definitely be a conclusion to this matter today!"
Qin Hao shook his head and refused, his tone was very firm, there was no time, if he couldn't decide today, he would be dragged away!
"There are a lot of people who oppose it! Come on, come on, all the adults who oppose it will write their names, and this king will make a bet with you to see which side this destiny is on?"
Qin Hao instructed a eunuch beside him to take down a piece of silk cloth and sign it for all the opposing courtiers.
If you want to unleash the power of the Doom Belly Pocket, you must first write your name.
With so many courtiers, most of Qin Hao didn't know their names, of course, they had to write down their names themselves.
"Hmph, just write, the old man wants to see what kind of bet you want to make with us King Zhenbei!"
Zhu Yiguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in writing his name on the silk cloth, and then the other ministers also signed their names.
"Ministers, let's just make this bet like this! Tomorrow at noon, just outside this hall, see how many of the courtiers who signed today can arrive on time?"
"As long as more than half of the people can arrive on time, then the matter of the reform of the law will be nullified, and when I don't say anything! If there are no half of the people, it means that the adults have changed their minds, and the reform of the law will be implemented immediately, how about it?"
"This king can guarantee that no one will stop you, and no one will restrict you!
Qin Hao looked at the names of the courtiers on the silk cloth, and glanced at everyone with a smile, with a hint of provocation in his tone.
"Isn't this Zhenbei Wang Mo crazy? Unless half of the people here fall ill at the same time, how can they not be able to get out of the main hall at noon?"
"Hmph, he's threatening us, trying to make us submit with obscenity!
"That's right, bet with him! We will win this bet! Reform of the law will never be feasible!"
......
A group of courtiers who wrote their names discussed in a whisper, and soon reached a consensus, this bet, they gambled with Qin Hao!
"Very good! All the ministers are temperamental! Then please ask the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince to testify, and this gambling contract will take effect!"
Qin Hao bowed to Duan Zhengchun, and looked at the courtiers and announced loudly, but Shen Nian manipulated the pen to write the names of all the signed courtiers one by one on the belly pocket of doom in the system space.
The golden light flashed, and all the names written down disappeared, Qin Hao knew that this was the doom belly pocket that had taken effect!
A bunch of pedantic old diehards, waiting for bad luck!
I want to see, sir, tomorrow at noon, how many of you will be able to stand outside the main hall!
