Chapter 174 Kneeling and hitting the board in rows!
Chapter 174 Kneel down in rows and fight!
Song Xuan was an emperor for decades in the last mission world. Song Xuan was extremely skilled at being an emperor.
When someone else becomes an emperor, they need to worry about this and that, they need to check and balance and divide, and they also need to win over and suppress.
But in Song Xuan's case, he didn't need it at all. He only had one thing as emperor, and that was to do whatever he wanted.
I can play whatever I want, it doesn’t matter what family you belong to or what eminent family you are, as long as it brings harm to the country and the people, I will kill you if I want!
Regarding Song Xuan's words that were full of admonishment, the civil and military officials in the entire court were as silent as a chill. For a while, many people began to become frightened and uneasy.
I thought that the new emperor was just a warrior who came to power and probably didn't know anything about governing the country. Everyone just needed to talk less and stop making mistakes and fooling around. But now it seems that is not the case at all!
"You, yes, that's you!"
"Stop shrinking back, I've already seen you!"
Song Xuan started to call the roll call again. It was just like a student going to school. The more you shrink back, the more the teacher likes to call you.
"This beloved minister looks to be in his eighties, right? I wonder what position he holds in the court?"
"Oh? Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this is an important minister. I wonder how much food is left in the national treasury?"
"What, I don't know? Someone, please drag our Lord Shangshu down to make a plan. When should we think clearly and when should we stop?"
Song Xuan smiled and called out many officials one by one. The more those whose eyes were dazed and wanted to dodge, the more he called them out and asked about political affairs.
Then, outside the main hall, there was a cheerful sound of claps.
During this period, there were also cries one after another, one by one crying for father and mother, which was quite interesting.
Of course, those who found it interesting were probably only Song Xuan, Song Que, Shi Zhixuan and others. Most of the officials did not find it interesting and only felt chills all over.
This emperor is really a ruthless character.
Other emperors were afraid of pushing officials too hard and rebelling, but this one didn't care at all. They were even eager for you to rebel, just so you could confiscate your family and exterminate your clan to enrich the treasury!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wrong, please stop fighting!"
"Your Majesty, I really forgot about it for a moment. Please stop fighting and give me some time!"
Amidst the cries one after another, a guard soon walked into the hall, "Report! Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang can't stand the board and has fainted!"
Song Xuan said calmly: "Did you answer any questions before you fainted?"
"No!"
"Then pour cold water on him to wake him up and continue beating him!" Song Xuan's voice was colder than ever.
This time he became emperor, it was different from the world in the last Wu Dynasty.
In the previous world, he had cultivated his own civil and military team to conquer the world, so after he ascended the throne, he could govern the country step by step without going to war to reorganize the government.
But this time it was different. This time he directly used invincible force to force Yang Guang to become the emperor. There were few civil and military officials in the dynasty who were his.
At this time, it is natural to establish authority, and even more to clean up the court.
Those who are capable will be kept, and those who are unable to dawdle will be eliminated.
Other emperors were afraid of killing people, but he was not afraid. Even if the entire court was killed, he didn't care at all.
"yes!"
The guard followed the order and went down. Before leaving, he glanced at the officials around him with some confusion.
What on earth is going on? I remember when Yang Guang was in power, even if he was as cruel as Yang Guang, if he wanted to deal with an official, there would always be someone else to stop him, speaking of his ancestors' teachings but keeping silent to the people of the country. How come this time, a group of ministers
Being beaten, but no one dared to say a word?
After selecting a group of officials who were dawdling and dragging them out to make plans, Song Xuan looked at the much empty main hall and couldn't help but smile.
"I am very pleased that although there are many dishonest people in this dynasty, there are still officials with real qualities like you, my beloved."
These people were all officials who had answered his questions fluently and gained his approval.
Regardless of their character, there is still no problem with their professional abilities in terms of running the country and handling government affairs.
Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was the king of the country, were all his officials really incompetent?
Obviously, after Song Xuan's verification, the result was not like this.
These people are not bad in ability, and most of them even have real materials, but unfortunately, these officials and Yang Guang are not of the same mind at all, and Yang Guang can't control them at all!
As for whether these people would be of the same mind as Song Xuan, the eldest son of Song Dynasty said that he didn't care at all.
Who cares what you think in your heart, he only cares how you do things and work honestly for the country and the people. Even if you close the door and scold your mother every day, Song Xuan doesn't bother to pay attention to it.
But if Yang and Yin go against the rules and cause trouble, then Song Xuan will not be merciless at all when killing people.
"Okay, the people who cheated and cheated have been sorted out. Now, my dear friends, I have a book that I can report to you!"
The remaining officials looked at each other, and then one of them stepped forward and said loudly: "My lord, Wang Yan, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, has a report to report!"
Song Xuan nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Your Majesty, the land of Hebei has been suffering from drought for many years, and this year is especially serious. Please make a decision to save the people from the fire and water!"
As soon as this was said, all the remaining officials in the court looked unhappy.
Why does Wang Yan have no eyesight at all? Didn't he see that the new emperor was asserting his authority? Now you bring up the matter of the drought. If His Majesty uses this matter to accuse him, many officials in the court will have to follow him.
Lose your head.
"Very serious?" Song Xuan's face became serious.
In his impression, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although the rebels continued to rebel, the whole world was actually not short of food.
The food accumulated during the Sui Dynasty was not used up even by the time of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty.
"It's very serious!" Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "If the court can't come up with a suitable solution, by the end of the year, people in many places in Hebei will have to leave their homes and change their families to live in poverty!"
Song Xuan rubbed his forehead, but he subconsciously neglected it.
The so-called no shortage of food in the Sui Dynasty only means that the wealthy gentry and powerful people of the aristocratic families were not short of food. Since ancient times, how can any common people dare to say that their family is not short of food?
"How did you deal with such natural and man-made disasters in the past?"
Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "In the past, people still had money and food to actively provide disaster relief. However, after Yang Guang's three consecutive expeditions to Goguryeo failed, the national treasury was empty, and Yang Guang was addicted to drinking and sex and had no interest in political affairs, so most of the disaster relief efforts were abandoned.
Even if the state treasury manages to squeeze out some money and food for disaster relief, most of it will be lost by the corrupt officials below before they reach the disaster area!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers were frightened.
Wang Yan is really brave enough to say that. Do you know that once he says this, it will set off a storm!
Is this person really stupid, or is he so bad that he oozes pus?!
