Chapter 223 Nong Minister
For example, if a minister wants to resign, if the emperor really allows these people to resign, he does not really agree, but pretends not to allow it. The minister resigned again, and the emperor refused again. Repeat this three times. He showed the emotional harmony between the kings and ministers and cherished the talents, but in the end, he had to agree with the other party's determination.
This is also to save face for each other. If the other party agrees to resign from the emperor, doesn't it seem that the emperor is too ruthless? Therefore, no matter how simple it is, it is simple to do it in complexity. This is politics. Especially for this kind of matter related to the throne, it is naturally impossible for Shangguan Yunba to agree as soon as he said Yu Yaobai, which seemed to be too impatient and too embarrassing to eat.
Sure enough, Shangguan Yunba bent his waist lower when he heard the words. He raised the jade seal with his hands above his head again and said, "Don't refuse, sage!"
"It's impossible!" Yu Yaobai pushed Yuxi back again.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yunba gritted his teeth, knelt down with a flutter, raised the jade seal with his hands high, and shouted, "Please don't refuse!"
Yu Yaobai did not refuse this time. She smiled and took Shangguan Yunba's jade seal with both hands and put it on her knees.
"Gift!" Lu Fengyou announced at the right time. In this way, Yu Yaobai finally regained his family's country as he wished and officially became the emperor of Fengchu again.
"My Emperor! Long live! Long live! Long live!" Wen Wu of the Manchu Dynasty shouted loudly at the same time. Because they still knelt on the ground and didn't get up, so they didn't have to kneel down again.
Yu Yaobai was dissatisfied that these people were like wall grass, so he never let them stand up and let them kneel on the ground all the time. Because he can't really deal with the civil and military officials of the Man Dynasty, Yu Yaobai can only vent his anger in these small places.
"All the nobles are flat!" After shouting long live, Yu Yaobai announced loudly. After all, you can't just take the position and give people a kind of care.
"I now announce that Shangguan Yunba has made great achievements in the Zen position and is awarded the title of King of Taiping!" The first thing about Yu Yaobai's accession to the throne was nothing else, but the title of a prince of Shangguan Yunba. And the title is also very interesting, King of Taiping. Naturally, this is a warning to Shangguan Yunba that you will be your prince in peace of mind in the future.
When Shangguan Yunba heard this, the muscles on his face were convulsions. He knew that one of the most important reasons why Yu Yaobai did not kill him was to let himself endure the pain of watching his throne be taken. In revenge for his father's robbery of the Yu family.
But it was clear in his heart that when he heard that Yu Yaobai had named himself a king of peace, Shangguan Yunba's heart still couldn't help twitching. But the situation is better than people. Although he was furious, Shangguan Yunba still endured his anger and knelt down to thank him and said, "Shangguan Yunba, the king of peace, thank you for your kindness!"
This kneeling was also officially announced that Shangguan Yunba had lost his identity as the emperor. It also means that Shangguan Yunba officially admitted Yu Yaobai's identity.
"I told you that the four battalions of the Beijing Division will immediately enter the state of combat readiness, distribute dry food, and count weapons and armor!" After that, Yu Yaobai never looked at Shangguan Yunba again. Now Shangguan Yunba is completely unqualified to be his opponent, in any way.
Maybe Shangguan Yunba thinks he can put up with it and will definitely find a chance to fight back. But Shangguan Yunba didn't know the poison in his body, as long as Yu Yao thought about it. He can kill Shangguan Yunba at any time.
"This...Your Majesty! I would like to say bluntly that there has been no war recently. At this time, it seems that it is not good to put the four battalions of the Beijing Normal University into a state of readiness..." General Cheng Zhiyuan asked doubtfully.
It's not that he doesn't know. Yu Yaobai has just come to power at this time, and he is likely to need a fire to establish his prestige. But it is impossible for him to pretend to be deaf and mute when it comes to his position, especially now that Fengchu has just changed its king. It is a period of national turmoil. Even if Yuyaobai ascended the throne because of Shangguan Yunba, there will still be a lot of different information about his life. At this time, using all the troops of the four battalions of Beijing Normal University is definitely one. It was a very dangerous thing, so Cheng Zhiyuan had to persuade him.
"It doesn't matter, old general, but please take the order. I'm in moderation!" Yu Yaobai said kindly. Cheng Zhiyuan can be said to be the only minister in the Manchu Dynasty who was not poisoned.
Shangguan Yulong and Shangguan Yunba didn't know that Cheng Zhiyuan has always been loyal to the Yu family. Even if Cheng Zhiyuan is now a great general, there is no change at all. Previously, Cheng Zhiyuan did not know that there was still blood of the Yu family, so he surrendered to Shangguan Yulong.
After Yu Yaobai was ready to finish and met Cheng Zhiyuan, as soon as he showed his surname, Cheng Zhiyuan immediately turned his head and said, "Hang live!" In fact, his name is not wrong. Yu Yaobai's original identity is actually the emperor of Fengchu.
And Cheng Zhiyuan's loyalty to the Yu family is not even known to anyone except himself, including his Shangguan Yunba.
Because his military talent is very excellent, Cheng Zhiyuan is very trusted by Shangguan Yunba. The power of the four battalions of Beijing Normal University to defend the capital is under the direct jurisdiction of Cheng Zhiyuan. Of course, this is only under the jurisdiction. In fact, the direct transfer right of the four battalions of Beijing Normal University is still in the hands of the emperor.
The only thing Cheng Zhiyuan can control is the Royal Forest Army. It is the real leader of the imperial forest army, which is also the cause of the uproar in the hall today, but there is no imperial forest army to protect it from beginning to end.
"This! Comply with the order!" Since Shangguan Yunba has officially issued the order, although Cheng Zhiyuan had the intention to persuade him, he only shook his head in the end and did not say anything more.
Because in this case, no matter what is refuted, it is a provocation to the emperor's authority. So although I don't understand why the first thing for Yu Yaobai to ascend the throne was to prepare for war, Cheng Zhiyuan still knelt down and took the order.
"Also, spread it to the whole country immediately and enter a state of combat readiness! Generals from all over the world, immediately rectify the armaments and train soldiers!" As if it was not enough to use the four major wins in Beijing, Yu Yaobai then issued the second imperial edict.
"Whey!" There was an instant shrugging in the court.
In this case, in fact, Yu Yaobai should first rectify the internal affairs. After all, it has just changed an emperor. Although it can barely be regarded as a smooth transition, in this case, there are actually a lot of things to deal with.
But I didn't expect that Yuyao would have nothing after his accession to the throne. The first thing turned out to be to launch a war mobilization. This can't help but make these ministers confused. They don't know what Yu Yaobai wants to do.
"Does Your Majesty want to go to war with a certain country?" This is the common idea of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Your Majesty! This is a must. It's a must for the whole country to prepare for the people to waste money!" A gray-haired old minister came to Yu Yaobai in tears and knelt down and cried. It seems that Yu Yaobai is not preparing for war, but sending his family to the battlefield.
Yu Yaobai frowned as soon as she heard the words. He knows this person, and his name is Uncle Du Qin. The official position is not high, and he is a member of the five-grade military department. There is no real power, but it has a good reputation.
This person's reputation does not come from other aspects, but this person is bold. How big is it? You can point to Shangguan Yunba's nose and call him a faint king.
But Yu Yaobai feels extremely bad about this person. Because this person is not a real straight minister, or a capable minister, his integrity is pretended.
From the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty, most of them doubted the imperial edict of Yu Yaobai. But when they didn't know what had happened, they did not rashly refute Yu Yaobai's imperial edict.
Only this Uncle Du Qin looks worried about the country and the people. Indeed, without knowing anything, he stood up and directly refuted Yu Yaobai's words, as if Yu Yaobai had really done something angry and resentful.
"What do you mean?" When Yu Yaobai saw Uncle Du Qin doing so, her face couldn't help sinking and asked in a grim tone.
Uncle Du Qin did not seem to see Yu Yaobai's face. Before Yu Yaobai asked him to get up, he stood up and pointed out the country with awe-inspiring appearance and said, "Your Majesty! Now the situation in Fengchu is turbulent, and it is the time for Your Majesty to rectify his internal affairs, appease the hearts of the people, and reduce taxes to restore national strength! Your Majesty, please don't use swordsmans.
Uncle Du Qin's words seem to be well-founded, but in fact, if it is really an ordinary usurpation to ascend the throne. The first thing to do after ascending the throne is what Uncle Du Qin said.
But Yu Yaobai is not an ordinary usurpation and accession to the throne. His accession to the throne, compared with the countless deaths and injuries of swords and soldiers in the past, can be described as peace, so there may be some turbulence in the court, but there is absolutely no problem in other aspects.
This is still above the court. Among the people, no one may know that there is a different emperor in a short period of time, so there is no need to appease.
And the so-called tax reduction and exemption, who will be cheap? Yu Yaobai is very clear in his heart. If it is a normal collection of tax, local officials can only follow the rules of the court. After all, how much tax they collect is the state. Even if they collect some extra taxes without permission, it can't be too much. After all, the people still have to live.
If it is really too aggressive and aggressive, it will force the people to change. It's okay to say that if the head is gone, there will really be nothing left.
But if Yuyao Bai reduces or exempts taxes, then for these people. But it will really be reckless to collect taxes. Because once the imperial court is exempt from tax, the amount of tax collected will be paid by local officials. In this case, they will definitely become more violent.
Doesn't Uncle Du Qin know this kind of problem? Naturally, it's impossible not to know. Even if he knows, he still brings it up! This can't help but let Yu Yao not be angry.
What he was angry about was not Uncle Du Qin, who contradicted or accused himself, but that Uncle Du Qin, who was angry, intervened in his decree without knowing anything, not really for the sake of the country, but just to stop himself.
You should know that now there is a war that will almost sweep the whole Qingxuan mainland. Maybe it will start. Now Yu Yaobai almost wants to use it on the spot for two or two. I can't wait to turn all the soldiers from all over Fengchu into elite soldiers in a hundred battles. I don't think it's enough time to handle business. Why do you have time to listen to Uncle Du Qin's nonsense here regardless of black and white?
So Yu Yaobai sank her face and said unhappily, "I know that Du Aiqing will retreat first, and I have my own plan!" Although the tone is polite, the Wenwu of the Man Dynasty is not stupid, and naturally he understands what Yu Yaobai means. I understand what you said. After that, get out of here and stay honest! Naturally, I have my own ideas. Just listen to it!"
Unfortunately, I don't know whether Uncle Du Qin really doesn't understand, or pretends not to understand, or he persuades bitterly with a look of worrying about the country and the people: "I hope your majesty can think twice. Such a desperate army is really a move to subjugate the country!"
"What did you say?" Yu Yaobai suddenly said angrily when she heard the words. The dragon is angry when he touches the scales, and anyone has a place that he absolutely can't let anyone touch. Naturally, Yu Yaobai also has it. The subjugated country is the reverse scales of Yu Yaobai. For him, this matter is an indelible pain in his heart.
Even if the restoration of the country is successful now, the pain in his heart cannot be completely healed. In the turmoil 20 years ago, he lost his parents, his sister, and all his relatives. So even now Yu Yaobai doesn't want to recall what happened before.
Unfortunately, Uncle Du Qin obviously didn't know. He is still fantasizing in his heart. Yu Yaobai just ascended the throne. In order to stabilize the hearts of the court, it is impossible to do anything to him.
So at this time, he wanted to stand up with Yu Yaobai, and he objected to what Yu Yaobai wanted to do. If Yu Yaobai wants to object, he agrees. And put everything on the so-called people. In order to achieve his purpose of inviting fame.
Unfortunately, although Uncle Du Qin obviously felt Yu Yaobai's anger. But he thought that it was just Yu Yaobai who was refuted by himself in front of civil and military officials, so he was just a little angry. He didn't expect that he really angered Yu Yaobai. If he knew, I believe he has already rolled back to the train with his tail between his legs and dare not say one more word.
It is precisely because he doesn't know, so he still looks confident and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is so poor, which will inevitably give the people a tyrannical impression. If it affects the hearts of the people so much, it will be in chaos over time. Moreover, the money, grain, grass and trees that the whole country needs to prepare for war is too huge. Although the treasury is full now. But it does not support national preparedness. It is bound to increase taxes and increase the burden on the people. In the long run, the country will not be a country!" Uncle Du Qin's tone was sad, as if the State of Fengchu was about to be destroyed.
Of course, Uncle Du Qin is still rational, at least he doesn't say anything directly about the subjugation of the country. He pretends to be stupid, not really stupid. I know that no emperor will like to hear about the subjugation of the country, even if what you said is reasonable and well-founded.
"Very good, since you don't understand my words, I will let you understand! Come on, drag me out of the cane twenty!" Yu Yaobai said with a sneer.
When Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty heard the words, his face changed at the same time, and there was an opposite in his heart. Will Yu Yaobai change his mind and become a more tyrannical emperor than Shangguan Yunba after ascending the throne? I can't help thinking about this.
In fact, Yu Yaobai also understands the twists and turns here. On the one hand, what people like Uncle Du Qin want is fame. Even if I hit Uncle Du Qin's staff now. But after that, Uncle Du Qin's reputation will not decrease, but will rise. However, Yu Yaobai fell back with a faint king's name.
But if this Uncle Du Qin is let go like this, Yu Yaobai really can't swallow it. In particular, his words about the subjugation of the country evoked a lot of bad memories of Yu Yaobai.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. What Yu Yaobai is unhappy about is that it doesn't matter if Uncle Du Qin invites his name. Since he is in this position, Yu Yaobai will do things according to the rules. But the current situation is really too special. Although Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty did not understand Yu Yaobai's will, no one directly put forward his opinion?
However, Uncle Du Qin didn't. He pretended to be worried about the country and the people. He wanted Yuyaobai to withdraw his will, and regardless of Yuyaobai's persuasion, he still went his own way. In the face of this kind of person, Yuyaobai felt that he should really stand up his power.
"Your Majesty! Your advice is unearing, Your Majesty!" Uncle Du Qin, who was pulled out by the Royal Forest Army, struggled and shouted loudly. But I was really happy in my heart, and I thought to myself, "After this incident, my reputation will probably be much higher!"
It didn't take long for the twenty-scepter, and it didn't take long for Uncle Du Qin to be framed by two sergeants of the imperial army. The back is full of blood and the station is unstable. As soon as the sergeants of the Royal Forest Army on both sides let go, Uncle Du Qin had already collapsed on the ground.
Even so, Uncle Du Qin, who had just collapsed on the ground, immediately cried and said, "Your Majesty! Don't do this to waste people's money!" If this appearance is seen by people who don't know, they will definitely think that Uncle Du Qin is really a good official for the country and the people.
Unfortunately, Yu Yaobai did not appreciate it at all. Seeing that Uncle Du Qin still said so, he immediately said with a blank expression, "Come on, drag out the staff 20!"
"What?" Uncle Du Qin couldn't help screaming. He didn't expect Yu Yaobai to be so cruel. He was not afraid of the court staff. Although the twenty-scepter was fierce, the sergeant of the imperial army who executed it would not really kill the minister. You should know that a large part of the Yulinjun people are after Xungui, and they may have relatives with that minister.
In this case, although they carry out the emperor's order, they also have a discount. Although this staff looks fierce and bloody. But in fact, it's just skin trauma, and it's not very serious.
But no matter how light it is, it's not that there is no injury at all? Twenty times is fine. Even if you show mercy, you may be killed.
Uncle Du Qin really regretted it this time. He didn't expect that Yu Yaobai didn't take the so-called overall situation seriously at all, saying that he would die.
But it's too late to regret it now, no matter what Uncle Du Qin thinks. The military of the imperial army has once again dragged Uncle Du Qin down one left and one right and whispered, "I'm offended!"
