Chapter 156 The Emperor's Means

While enjoying Mr. Yun's Xuangong massage, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly became interested in taking the school exam, and said, "Yun Yang, you said... the treasury is empty now, not only are there insufficient military expenses, food, salaries and rewards, but also a lot of money is needed on the flood side. Relief, how should we deal with this matter?"

At this moment, Yun Yang was still thinking about the portrait in His Majesty's study, and with a guilty conscience, he answered instinctively, and said without thinking: "What's so difficult about this? As long as this is so, so, and so, everything can be easily solved. And now Now His Majesty's butcher's knife is hanging in the air. Whoever dares to jump out to object is the one who deserves to die. I believe that the person who jumped out will not be clean himself, and his family's wealth will be confiscated. It will also help this time .”

His Majesty the Emperor and Old Marshal Qiu heard Yun Yang's countermeasures and subconsciously looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

This kid, this strategy is amazing!

How could he have such a precise grasp of the affairs of the court? And the methods are ruthless, to the point.

talent!

There is also the last mention of copying the wealth of those who have not made it to the top, it is simply a wonderful touch, it is really amazing!

"Yun Yang, do you intend to become an official in the court?" His Majesty the Emperor asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"No." Yun Yang was taken aback: "This... If I become an official, I guess... I will be beheaded by His Majesty in a few days... This, my nephew's ability to offend people, is the real one. Be extraordinary, becoming an official is equivalent to having an accident, let's save this trouble..."

His Majesty the Emperor and Marshal Qiu clapped their hands together and laughed.

Regarding Yun Yang's refusal, both of them didn't feel disobedient, and even felt that Yun Yang's answer was reasonable. After thinking about it seriously, this guy is really not suitable for an official position. If he is put in front of others, he will be stared at by others On... the idea of ​​letting Yun Yang become an official or enlist in the army will be given up.

The next morning.

morning.

His Majesty the Emperor really brought up two things.

First, the salaries, pensions, and rewards of soldiers; second, follow-up payments related to floods.

Hubu Shangshu, who suddenly heard that these two big mountains were coming at him, almost went crazy.

Your Majesty the Emperor, you only have so little money in total now, how can you deal with it? It's not enough to spend, okay?

Even if a penny is broken into eight pieces to make do, that's not enough!

As a result, there was a civil servant who jumped out and said that the country's affairs are the most important thing, and the people are the most important. The soldiers have been wronged for a few months, and I believe the soldiers will understand..."

As usual, this was just the beginning of the daily confrontation, but His Majesty the Emperor today was very different from the past, he was furious and ordered to take down the officials in that area.

"When I discuss state affairs, what I need is for you to give advice and suggestions, not just to shirk and argue. What I need is a good way to take care of both sides. It is not for you to use your benevolence, righteousness, morality, and rhetoric to discourage the loyalty of these brave soldiers !"

Under the gazes of all the officials full of surprise and fear, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly stood up, overlooking the hall, with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "Take him down! Confiscate his family, send him to the army!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

A group of people stood up and begged for mercy.

"Soldiers need to be rewarded, floods need to be dealt with; the country is in crisis, and the wind and rain are precarious; in this catastrophe, there must be thunderous means to deal with it! Otherwise, how can we clean up the inner world and use our efforts to the outside world."

"Without money, we can find a way. But, without soldiers and people, then, is there still Yutang Kingdom?"

"This foe is evasive, evasive, and sophistry. If you don't kill them, how can you calm down the anger of the soldiers? If you don't kill them, how can you clean up the Yutang laws and regulations!"

"After confiscating this Liao's house, all the confiscated silver will be filled into the treasury, and the household department will allocate it as soon as possible. In addition, I want to hold a fundraising here. I will save the palace for the next three years and get about a hundred silver Wan; the civil and military officials and the noble family also supported one or two accordingly... and... some unnecessary things in the palace were put up for auction..."

"Your Majesty can't!" A censor jumped out: "Your Majesty's move will greatly damage the majesty of the royal family. Your Majesty must think twice."

His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently: "The soldiers who fought for us on the frontier had no pay, the countless dead warriors who died in foreign lands had no compensation, and those soldiers who had repeatedly made military exploits were not rewarded. Without their sacrifices and contributions, how could the so-called royal majesty come about? Wherever they passed, mourning was everywhere, and all the people who died were Yutang people. They are the foundation of Yutang, and these foundations are about to disappear! Now the entire Yutang country is in a precarious and precarious situation. The country will not be the country, You still want to mention the dignity of the royal family to me now?!

If the country is gone, where is the royal majesty? Are you talking like this for the royal majesty, or are you reluctant to part with your own money? Come, take this dog down for me! Push out the Meridian Gate and behead it for public display! "

Cut two in a row!

"...Your families are my humerus and the pillars of the country; now let's talk about fundraising, everyone just needs to say a number, and that's it. Of course, don't shake the foundation of your dear family, That way, I, too, feel uneasy and do what I can.”

The ministers were dumbfounded.

This... today's opening method seems wrong...

His Majesty the Emperor has not used such a thunderous method for nearly five years so far.

And today's move, it seems that it is not only a method of thunder, but also a trick of hooligans.

To enforce the emperor's decision.

No veto!

Can't refuse!

You just disagree, don't you?

Okay, come here, chop it up for me, ransack the house. All your property is gone, and your life is gone. Then move on to the next person's fundraiser.

Do you donate or not?

Donate, Your Majesty succeeded.

Don't donate... Well, have you seen those two lessons learned?

Do you want to lose your fortune, lose your family, ruin your family, and end up with a reputation as a thief! ?

If you don't want to stay, just submit obediently and be obedient!

"Sir, I would like to pledge one million taels of silver." Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan jumped out first.

"Chen, I would like to pledge one million taels of silver." Leng Daoyin jumped out.

"I am also willing to pledge one million taels of silver." The Taiwei jumped out.

All the civil servants rolled their eyes wildly.

These three old bastards are really annoying, who doesn't know the details of the three of you?

Although the salaries of these three brothers are not low, and they also have extra money, but most of your money is used to help the disabled soldiers and martyrs.

Where do you have so much money? Why do you have one million taels of silver for a single mouth? !

You are so capable, why don't you go to heaven? !

It’s not that I underestimated you, if the three of you old men can come up with half a million taels of cash, I’m willing to hang myself collectively!

This is clearly the entrustment of His Majesty the Emperor...

But if you do this, you are forcing us into a crack!

"The three gentlemen are indeed my right-hand man. I am so relieved!" His Majesty the Emperor said with great joy.

"The old minister has very little private property, these years...he has no savings...just pledge to donate five hundred thousand taels of silver." The grand master sighed softly.

In terms of generals, there are already three giants taking the lead, with great momentum and unrivaled limelight.

On the civil servant's side, if there is no one to set an example...

Then in this court hall in the future, wouldn't it just be one-sided and generals' one-sided speeches?

And it is still one-sided with the tendency of His Majesty the Emperor.

This is absolutely impossible, even though Master Tai was reluctant, he still took the lead in pledging 500,000 taels of silver!

"Minister, pledge to donate 100,000 yuan."

"Minister, pledge to donate 200,000 yuan."

...

This is exactly what Yun Yang came up with last night.

"Your Majesty can do this. In the early court, if you bring the matter of the lack of treasury to the table, someone will definitely jump out to stir up trouble. Your Majesty can just kill this shit-stirring stick... and then naturally confiscate his family property and confiscate the Ministry of Household; and then bring it up The ministers are soliciting donations, I believe there will still be people who will jump out to make troubles, and this person's position is good, if His Majesty doesn't want to kill, you just need to scold him, but if the one who jumps out happens to be the kind of person who is not open-eyed, it just so happens that His Majesty wants to kill him Yes, His Majesty will kill another one at that time... as long as two old marshals are entrusted... this matter will be done. This method can at least solve the urgent need, and there are many rich ministers in the court..."

"Let me ask who is not afraid of death. How many people can really risk their lives and money. I remember this trick that your Majesty used before..."

At that time, His Majesty's face was dark for a long time.

He had indeed used this trick before. But the matter was brought up by this kid so directly, how could His Majesty the Emperor bear it?

I also want to look good...

That's why His Majesty the Emperor asked, do you want to be an official?

As long as you have the desire to become an official, and if you really become an official, I can handle you at any time, who likes to tell the truth... Yun Yang unexpectedly refused but within reason.

Then, naturally, it was the big drama of the early court!

This scene in the early morning court, with its resolute and decisive actions, immediately aroused the long-lost memory of the officials...

Back then, didn't His Majesty also do it once, when Gan Gang was arbitrary and stood up on the spot.

It's just that so many years have passed, and His Majesty has never been so unreasonable. Most of the time, he pays equal attention to grace and power, and pays equal attention to rewards and punishments. In recent years, his methods have become more gentle, and blood is rarely seen. Why is it suddenly... just Are you starting to play hooligans like this?

At this moment, all the courtiers felt that they had returned to the period when a generation of emperors ruled the country with iron and blood many years ago...

One by one, they all gave in.

...

"Chen... Pledge..." The last person to speak was Wu Lie, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. At this moment, this Wu Shangshu blushed, and finally managed to make a sentence: "Chen... pledged... one hundred taels .”

At present, most of the pledged donations of officials are between 100,000, 200,000 and 500,000, and almost no one is lower than this amount. Unexpectedly, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment actually offered a price of one hundred taels.
