Chapter 15 Harvest the hearts of the people(1/2)
"Cousin, Concubine Rong is my third aunt's third sister..."
"You are my cousin..."
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't do this..."
Wang Weining was dumbfounded, and the next moment he began to beg hysterically and kowtow.
How can there be any reason for relatives to tie up relatives?
The rest of the royal family and relatives are much more excessive than I am.
Robbing women of the people, plundering them by force, and lining your own pockets are all trivial matters.
Annexing land and abusing power are also common knowledge.
I was just in charge of the city's yamen, and yet I was kidnapped by my cousin.
Isn’t this a great injustice?
"Shut up!" Guo Tianyi scolded, "Tell me, what is Dafeng's commercial tax rate?"
"yes..."
"yes..."
"It's one percent."
Wang Weining knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and his voice trembled.
Guo Tianyi let out a "hum", looked at the merchant who had just been detained and said, "Brother, how much tax do you think this guy will collect from you just now?"
"Your Highness." The dark-skinned man from Jiangsu and Zhejiang knelt down and said, "These government officials have to collect 30% of the tax. We have never encountered anything like this before..."
"Your Highness, this is absolutely true. Our tax rates have been ridiculously high this year..."
"Your Highness, my family has an eighty-year-old mother and a young son who is waiting to be fed. It is difficult for us to make ends meet after paying taxes..."
"That's right, this city's yamen forcibly increases the tax rate, and will beat people if they disagree..."
"I hope His Highness will understand..."
"..."
The people around him knelt down and accused Wang Weining of his evil deeds. Everyone was angry.
"Cousin, this group of unscrupulous people are talking nonsense. I am just an occasional person. Moreover, there are accounts in the household department and there are accounts in the Yamen..."
"Bitch, do you still have the nerve to be related to this king?"
Guo Tianyi said angrily, "You are an official just to bully the people? Does this skin give you confidence, or does the status of being a relative of the emperor give you the confidence?"
"I will tell you."
"I, Dafeng, lead the people to conquer the country and defend the country. What I protect is the hearts of the people!"
"A moth like you is nothing but rat excrement!" Guo Tianyi waved his sleeves, "Bring all this rubbish away to me quickly and tell the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to be strict in everything. If you dare to shield me, you will be questioned by the Ministry of Punishment."
"Okay, well said!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old..."
"Your Highness the King of Han, you are a wise king..."
"The King of Han is a thousand years old..."
"..."
The people around him were excited by Guo Tianyi's few words.
When it comes to winning people's hearts, Guo Tianyi, who comes from a later generation, has many tricks up his sleeve.
This set has long been played to perfection.
"No, cousin, we are relatives..."
The Ouchi guards suppressed all of Wang Weining's henchmen without saying a word, but Wang Weining was still begging when he was dragged away.
Guo Tianyi looked at the people around him who were kneeling and kowtowing, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. He stretched out his hand and suppressed all the sounds.
"If you have any grievances, you can tell them to me."
"I will definitely make the decision for you."
As Guo Tianyi's majestic voice echoed on the dock, all the traders and people were so excited that they almost cried.
Emperors of all dynasties have said that they love their children as much as they love their children.
But very few people can really feel it.
Guo Tianyi's few words made these people want to shed their blood for him.
In the distance, among the crowd, a commoner wearing a long gown looked at Guo Tianyi and smiled with great satisfaction.
"Your Highness, the palace guards are here."
Xiao Anzi noticed the movement in the distance and put an ear canal next to Guo Tianyi's ear.
"Um?"
Guo Tianyi squinted his eyes and looked back, his falcon-like eyes locked directly on a figure wearing a python robe.
King of Wei?
It came so quickly.
Guo Tianyi felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.
Fortunately, I had the foresight and dealt with Wang Weining.
No matter from which angle you look at it, you have done extremely well.
Not only did he kill his relatives to bring justice to the people, but he also won the hearts of the people.
If the King of Wei were to take the lead, he would be extremely passive.
This fellow would even unite with a group of veterans to read his own book.
The prestige you just established will be wiped out.
Political struggle is inherently dangerous.
Not to mention the royal family?
"Third brother, what are you doing here?"
After King Wei arrived with thousands of soldiers, he looked at Guo Tianyi and frowned.
"Second brother, I have found out that a relative of a foreigner is embezzling money and perverting the law in Fang City, lining his own pockets..."
"I have already solved the problem myself and handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment, so I won't bother my second brother."
Guo Tianyi smiled faintly, his playful eyes seemed to see through King Wei's thoughts, and he said with a half-smile.
"Bold!" Seeing Guo Tianyi's attitude, the little eunuch beside King Wei immediately shouted in a male voice, "King Han, do you know that my Highness is here on the orders of the Queen Mother..."
"Who do you think you are?"
"When I am talking to my second brother, do you, a slave, have any role in intervening?"
"Come here, give me a slap in the face!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Immediately, several of the silver-armored guards around Guo Tianyi stepped forward and slapped him in the face.
"ah...!"
"ah...!"
King Wei's personal eunuch kept screaming and his front teeth flew out after a few slaps.
Xiao Anzi and others were very happy, and the people around them looked at it in a daze.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is a thousand years old, we support you..."
"Your Highness, King of Han, is well done. This servant should be beaten if he offends his superiors and lacks the authority of the king..."
"Isn't it true? His Highness the King of Han even took care of his own relatives. Who is this slave?"
"If I were this little eunuch, I would kill myself..."
"That is, His Highness the King of Han loves the people so much, who is he..."
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is a thousand years old..."
"...."
The people around him shouted "A Thousand Years Old King of Han", which made King Wei very angry.
He is neither left nor right now. If he accuses Guo Tianyi, it means that he supports this kind of ungrateful thing.
In ancient times, the king was heaven.
A eunuch is nothing more than a slave.
