But there was no need to be too happy, because one day after that, the cabinet suddenly received a decree: "The cabinet is ordered to discuss the imperial examination and the title of the emperor's biological father and the chief priest immediately."
Li Jing's order is self-evident. It is obvious that the cabinet is asking the cabinet to reconsider the title of Li Jing's biological father, King Ning Xian, and to give King Ning Xian the title of God!
Yang Jisheng and others felt a thump in their hearts. This was no small matter. In fact, they had been thinking about this issue since the day Li Jing ascended to power! Li Jing finally couldn't help but ask!
Yang Jisheng and others naturally wanted Li Jing to recognize Emperor Yongxi as the emperor. After all, only in this way could Li Jing change his name and take control of power. At the same time, they were also afraid that Li Jing was young and energetic and lacked checks and balances, so they wanted to intimidate and control him to a certain extent.
Li Jing!
And when Li Jing asked this question, the natural meaning was very obvious. Li Jing just refused to recognize Emperor Yongxi as the emperor, and even wanted to give the title of Emperor Ning Xian!
Li Jing naturally doesn't care what the title of King Ning Xian is, but this is the face and power of Li Jing, a young emperor after he ascends the throne. If he loses this battle, he will never be able to hold his head up in front of civil servants for the rest of his life. He can only
It’s submissive!
That's why Li Jing still wanted to discuss politics for King Ning Xian again. Otherwise, as an emperor who considers his uncle as his father, how could he have the dignity to hold power?
Therefore, everyone knows that this grand ceremony is almost inevitable!
Before going to court, Li Jing went to Kunning Palace to visit Daiyu. Then he saw Daiyu actually receiving guests. When he saw Li Jing coming, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty is here? Let's chat."
Then she walked away with a mysterious smile. Li Jing looked at the figure who knew she was coming but didn't get up to greet him. She thought it was Chen Xing's daughter. She couldn't help but look behind her hands.
The figure from behind looks familiar: "Who are you? Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
The figure turned his head just now. Li Jing couldn't help being stunned, and then touched his nose in embarrassment: "You, why did you enter the palace? Alone?"
The man stood up and turned around, but it was Ren Suxuan, whom he had not seen for a long time. At this time, he looked at Li Jing with a smile but not a smile, and then slowly blessed him: "A civilian daughter does not dare, a civilian daughter follows her mother into the palace."
, I was rude for a moment, please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Li Jing stepped forward with some embarrassment: "What do you think you are doing? I didn't recognize you just now..."
Just when Li Jing was about to take action, he saw Ren Suxuan lowering his head and taking a few steps back. He still said with a blessing: "Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"
Li Jing waved her hand: "Okay, okay, isn't it because I'm busy? You should have asked Mr. Korea, I have a lot of things going on during this time. Even if I want to see you, I have to work hard, right? If you
If this continues, then I won’t go to the court meeting today, and I’ll just accompany you, okay?”
Ren Suxuan just stood up, wiped the corners of his eyes and whispered: "You haven't come to see me for so long, I thought you had moved on to a higher position now and forgot about my beauty!"
Li Jing came forward funny and held Ren Suxuan's shoulders: "Can you not give up Versailles? If you were called Pu Liu Zhizi, would others still be alive?"
Ren Suxuan was teased so much that he burst into laughter and twisted his shoulders in disbelief: "You will use your words to coax me,,,"
Li Jing smiled and hugged her and said: "I won't coax you. I won't go to court today, so I will play with you and won't ask you to go home. How about staying in the palace at night? No, I will stay in the palace from now on.
Living,,,"
Ren Suxuan spat at Li Jing and mocked him angrily: "What a fool. If you don't want your reputation, I will still want it. If you do this, you are the emperor and you will not be able to go to court because of me. Your reputation is not justified."
If you leave me in the palace, what will become of me? What will become of you?"
What else can it be? This is a standard example of disaster. Li Jing is a tyrant who rapes and seduces women.,,
Immediately, the civil servants, especially the censors, went completely crazy in the next second! Not only were they angry, but they were also excited. After thousands of years, I have caught up again!
Enchanting concubine! Foolish king! Here’s your chance to make a name for yourself and leave a lasting name in history!
Li Jing sighed helplessly: "I'm not just coaxing you, I really don't want to go,,,"
Ren Suxuan blinked and looked at Li Jing: "What's wrong?"
Unlike Daiyu, Daiyu deeply understood that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so she would not interrupt at any time, let alone take the initiative to ask about Li Jing's state affairs.
Ren Suxuan is different. She is very sensitive and scheming about this kind of thing, and she is also very interested in this kind of thing! So when Li Jing said this, she would ask curiously.
Li Jing sighed helplessly and tapped Ren Suxuan's little nose: "A question involving whether you are the daughter-in-law of Prince Ning's Palace or the daughter-in-law of Prince Yong's Palace,,,"
Emperor Yongxi was originally named Prince Yong, so Li Jing said this, and Ren Suxuan, a smart and intelligent man, immediately thought of it. I am afraid that Li Jing is now deeply troubled by the great ceremony!
Therefore, Ren Suxuan touched his smooth chin and said: "This kind of thing is indeed complicated. I'm afraid they will have to argue with you for a long time!"
Li Jing scratched his head helplessly: "Who says it's not the case? Isn't that why I don't want to go?"
After speaking, Li Jing kissed Ren Suxuan again, who was squinting slightly as if thinking. Ren Suxuan, who was attacked by surprise, said "Ah!", patted Li Jing dissatisfied, and then wiped the saliva on his face.
Li Jing smiled and said: "But no matter what, you definitely didn't run away. Our marriage contract has been finalized. The ministers will try their best to ask me to marry you."
Ren Suxuan curled his lips: "I'm afraid you gave me a noble concubine to send me away."
Li Jing smiled and said: "How could it be? Even if you really enter the imperial family, you can't just kill Prince Ning's family. So in the final analysis, it will definitely be two queens. Why are you anxious?"
Ren Suxuan blinked: "Two queens,,,how dare you think about it!"
Li Jing spread his hands: "It doesn't look like Qian'er is very hostile to you. One is the Queen of the East Palace and the other is the Queen of the West Palace. Isn't this normal?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The corner of Ren Suxuan's mouth twitched, something is normal,,,
However, Ren Suxuan was very happy that Li Jing could think this way, so after hugging Li Jing, he said to Li Jing: "Then you go quickly, don't be late for the court, I'm afraid you will be scolded then."
Li Jing pretended to be righteous and confident: "Who dares to scold me? Don't risk your life?"
Ren Suxuan pushed Li Jing, and Li Jing just smiled and said to Ren Suxuan: "Why don't you leave tonight, I really miss you,,,"
Ren Suxuan curled his lips and said: "Dream, don't think that you can use force on me now that you are the emperor. Just go ahead and dream about your childhood dreams before we get married!"
As he spoke, Ren Suxuan pushed Li Jing: "Let's go, let's go! Stop talking nonsense!"
Li Jing had no choice but to be pushed out, and she went to the front to go to court.
Sure enough, something was wrong with the atmosphere as soon as he came to power. Li Jing first asked the cabinet to announce Dayan's first five-year plan.
After several days of discussion, the cabinet finally confirmed the plan from next year, which is the first year of Qianguang, to the fifth year of Qianguang, which is to enrich the people!
Li Jing believes that if the people are prosperous, the country will be prosperous, so the first step is to find ways to increase national income several times. There are only a few ways to do this: increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
The imperial court increased the deficit and spent all the revenue in the next five years on people's livelihood, building water conservancy roads and other public infrastructure measures.
For the corvee, Li Jing directly chose to abolish it and adopted a work-for-relief method to provide a large number of labor positions. The taxes in the next few years will also be directly reduced or exempted! Poor provinces will be directly exempted from taxes for three years!
While encouraging private industrial and commercial activities and increasing port fees, Li Jing was originally going to directly collect commercial taxes, but Yang Jisheng and others persuaded him, bluntly saying that Li Jing was acting too hastily!
Although the concept of commercial tax made Yang Jisheng and others' eyes brighten, at the same time, they also knew that if it were implemented across the board, Jiangnan would have to do the opposite tomorrow...
Therefore, Li Jing can only regretfully choose to go year by year. This year, he will first increase the port fee collection. Next year, Li Jing will prepare to directly impose exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. First, he will annoy these businessmen with complicated taxes, and then wait until the fifth year. Just change all the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes into one whipping method!
Directly unify all these taxes into commercial taxes. As we all know, if you directly ask to open the windows, they will definitely object to you opening the windows. But if you directly lift the roof, they will discuss the issue of opening the windows with you!
As there are more and more types of taxes, businessmen will be afraid that the court will find another excuse to increase taxes. At this time, if you propose to directly establish a commercial tax and abolish all taxes, they will find it acceptable! Although even if these miscellaneous taxes add up There are not many commercial taxes,,,
Next, he encouraged small private workshops to strengthen the regulation and management of the market. In this regard, Li Jing even directly prepared to add several new departments under the Ministry of Household Affairs to monitor the fair nature of the market!
At the same time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will also set up a new censorship agency, all of which will be served by young officials who have not participated in the imperial examination and have passed the civil examination for filial piety and integrity. There will be more than 130 people in total, working in groups of six, to set up a supervisory censorship to serve as supervisors. Dayan is stationed in all provinces to vigorously investigate corruption!
Once there is a little bit of news, they have the power to immediately capture this person and escort him to Beijing for investigation!
That's right, Li Jing is ready to cut it all! On this, Li Jing is preparing to surprise the next time! Although Li Jing knows that the effect may not be big,,,
After all, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was so virtuous that if he was greedy for students' money, he would cut off his head and bury it on the students' way to and from school; if he was greedy for the grain from the grain depot, he would crush you to death with as much grain as possible!
Even cruel punishments such as skinning and pulling grass were used countless times! The corruption and despicability of the Ming Dynasty was slightly restrained during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and then it stopped immediately!
Li Jing knew that there was absolutely no way to prevent this, and he himself was not prepared to prevent it. He was just expressing his attitude!
Because Emperor Yongxi wanted to rapidly develop the economy and quickly restore the big holes left by the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, he took so long to make up for it and allowed these people to do whatever they wanted, just to quickly restore the economy and people's livelihood!
Now that more than ten years have passed, Li Jing just wants to show her attitude and will not let them continue like this!
Therefore, even if there is an unjust, false, or wrongful act, we would rather kill the person than let him go! Only by stopping the trend of corruption can tax revenue be guaranteed and the national treasury be able to protect the deficit for a long period of time in the future!
And in order to ensure the next operation of the court, the court will also take measures to eliminate redundant staff and streamline the administrative system. In short, even the officials who are lazy and lazy will be decentralized and fired!
The last step is to donate money to the people, mainly because Li Jing mobilized the nobles and set an example to clean up the imperial palace and royal properties, and auctioned them all for the people's livelihood.
This requires not only mobilizing nobles, but also wealthy businessmen, so Lin Ruhai even has to handle this matter personally! Moreover, Li Jing is also preparing to abolish the hereditary title of relatives and completely eradicate the influence of relatives!
This almost caused Chen Guojiu and others to faint on the spot, crying and screaming for life and death! However, they got the support of almost all officials! Chen Guojiu and others could only wait for Sanchao to find him with pale faces.
The Queen Mother cried!
But they probably can’t wait any longer, because there will be more details proposed by Li Jing next!
To promote civil society, it was necessary to reform the imperial examinations, rectify the common people, build academies, and popularize education. It was stipulated that at least three elementary schools should be established in a county. All children over six years old could attend school for free for three years at the expense of the court! Enrollment was compulsory.
Otherwise, ask the local officials!
At the same time, the National Library was established, funded by the imperial court. Within ten years, it was spread throughout the country to counties and cities, and efforts were made to increase book publishing and encourage private book printing.
Popularize cotton, return farmland to the people, crack down on landlords, improve the functions of the cabinet, strengthen the administrative capacity of the cabinet, and limit the authority of the Secretary of Ceremony.
In order to increase the development of industry and commerce, silver was officially designated as the official currency and used in three ways. Imperial banks were established to regulate the banks and encourage the standardized operation of banknotes.
There are so many things to do that this meeting actually lasted a whole day! Some officials actually didn’t understand some of the policies, but they at least understood that if they really followed it, they would be
With his achievements in the past five years, Li Jing is enough to become an unparalleled sage! I dare not say that he will be the emperor for eternity, but at least he is far better than the Chinese!
Because there were so many things to mention, until the end, Yang Jisheng and others did not have the opportunity to report on Li Jing's proposal to discuss the imperial examination.
But it was precisely because there were so many things to discuss that Li Jing rarely proposed that the next three days would be a court meeting!
Finally on the third day, Yang Jisheng and others mentioned the matter at the end. They directly rejected Li Jing's proposal and asked Li Jing to honor Emperor Yongxi as Emperor Kao and address him as King Ning Xian: "Uncle Kao Ning Xian."
"Your Majesty", he respects his mother and concubine as "His Majesty's Aunt Ningguo Concubine"!
This operation made Li Jing very angry. Yang Jisheng and others took Liu Kang, the king of Dingtao Gong in the Western Han Dynasty, as an example. Liu Kang's son was Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, and he passed to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty Liu Ao. Emperor Ai respected Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty as the emperor.
He took the exam and honored his biological father as King Dingtao Gong.
There was also the Yingzong of the previous dynasty who also held a Pu discussion to discuss whether his father should be crowned emperor, but in the end he only made him an emperor. Before the discussion was finished, Song Yingzong was so upset that he still did not respect his father.
For the emperor!
This sentence completely angered Li Jing. What did it mean? Threaten me? Although Yang Jisheng and others definitely did not mean this, Li Jing still almost overturned the table on the spot!
So Li Jing directly announced his resignation with a gloomy expression on the spot. This was not over yet. During the last day of the court meeting, the actions of Yang Jisheng and others made Li Jing really flip the table on the spot.,,
Because Yang Jisheng and others said that Li Jing does not need to worry about the issue of the successor of Prince Ning. He can choose a prince in the clan to succeed Prince Ning. If this is not possible, if you have a son in the future, the second son can also go directly to inherit Prince Ning.
,,,
More than 60 civil and military officials jointly submitted a letter and claimed that "anyone who dissents among the court officials is a traitor and should be executed"!
Li Jing ran away immediately, stood up, ran to Yang Jisheng, took off the dragon crown on his head and handed it to Yang Jisheng: "You will be the emperor!"
Yang Jisheng was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot to apologize. The civil and military officials in the court were even more frightened and did not dare to breathe. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.
Li Jing held up the dragon crown in her hand and actually shed tears: "You bullied me when I was young, didn't you? It was you who recommended me to be the emperor in the first place! Now you actually want me to be the emperor and deny my father? Why did I return to the clan?
?It’s just for my father! Since you think you shouldn’t do it like this, then you should do it!”
"I have lived for nearly twenty years, and I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing! I, King Ning, have no heirs, so why should I have an heir? How can I have the face to see the late king even if I ask him to? You don't need to heir! Since you can have an heir!
, then you just pick someone from the clan to be the emperor! I am no longer the emperor! I want to go back and be King Ning!"
As she said this, Li Jing actually walked towards the back hall, taking off her dragon robe: "Feng Lin! Pack your things! Go back to Prince Ning's Mansion tomorrow!"
Qingfeng responded hurriedly, leaving the civil and military officials of the entire court behind to say in unison: "Your Majesty, think twice! I await the death penalty!"
"You are not guilty! It's all my fault!"
The civil and military officials in the court looked at each other, and in the end they had no choice but to go to Qianqing Palace and kneel outside to plead guilty. The rest of the people were waiting for news in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. On the other side, Lin Ruhai and others hurriedly went to invite the Empress Dowager!
After Li Jing returned, she sat in her seat with a gloomy face without saying a word. Daiyu, who had rushed over after receiving the news, saw Li Jing like this and gently stepped forward: "Such a big person is still acting like a child.
temper."
Li Jing didn't say anything. Daiyu sighed softly, picked up the dragon robe and crown, stepped forward to cover Li Jing's messy hair and whispered softly: "Your Majesty has grievances, you can tell me, but don't
Tell the ministers, otherwise they will treat your Majesty as a child. Your Majesty is the supreme king of the world and the common ruler of the world. Isn't this funny?"
