Chapter 177: Eat the King’s Salary and Divide the King’s
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were surprised and looked troubled, and they didn't know how to answer.
Bai Muji thought about it again and again and said again: "Your Highness, this is unreasonable. In the past..."
"If you eat your salary, you should share your worries with you. Since they don't want to share your worries, then why should I save those selfish people? It would be better to let the flood drown them or wash them away.
..”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the ministers changed greatly. Bai Muji hurriedly knelt down. Seeing this, all the ministers also knelt on the ground, thinking that His Highness was young and had a really bad temper.
Bai Muji thinks too much, just because she has seen too much. If a person who has experienced several dynasties does not have the ability to be tactful and observant, how can he remain standing for a long time?
"Your Highness, tyrannical government has always been the result of a fatuous tyrant, which is the sign of the country's subjugation. Now our Lan Yu is at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. Both the late emperor and Your Majesty implement benevolent government, work diligently, love the people, and put the people first."
Having said this, Bai Muji paused briefly, and then said:
"His Highness is the crown prince of my Lan Yu, and will inherit the throne in the future. If His Highness loses the support of the people due to tyranny at this time, it will be a great disadvantage to His Highness. I hope His Highness will think twice before taking any action..."
All the ministers also echoed: "I hope Your Highness will think twice..."
One word was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Xiao Tiange's head. The thoughts of ancient people were naturally different from those of modern people like her who had received higher education.
Once Emperor Guangxu was the emperor, he implemented the reform and reform, but he was suppressed by the conservative die-hards. Finally, he was put under house arrest by Cixi in the palace. He was depressed and frustrated all day long.
She is still just a princess and has no rank. Although she has rights, she is not the real highest person.
It is not that easy to melt these stubborn stones.
This also made Xiao Tiange feel for the first time that implementing new policies and changing old practices is indeed not an easy task.
Fortunately, Lin Fengxia has been transferred to the mountainous area to suppress bandits. She will not come back in a short time to collude with the Lin Di siblings.
Although Lin Di was very powerful in the harem, she, Xiao Tiange, was not a kind person, and the thousands of secret guards under her did not grow up on a vegetarian diet.
Therefore, without Lin Fengxia's elite soldiers, Lin Di and her were only half a pound to half a pound at best. He could not hurt her in the slightest at this time, let alone force the palace to abdicate at this moment.
Being an enemy of the ministers was not what she wanted, nor was it what a smart person would do.
In the past, she had no intention of being a supreme emperor. She acted in a low-key manner and stayed out of the limelight. However, no matter how low-key she was, she still attracted the jealousy of others.
Ever since, she figured out that since she couldn't be that idle person who was happy and unconcerned with worldly affairs, she, Xiao Tiange, tried her best to face the enemy, cut through the thorns and thorns, and become the high-ranking Nine Martial Arts Lord.
It is true that she was a little annoyed at the conservativeness and pedantry of the Manchu officials, but it was indeed just out of anger that she said those explosive words.
When a wise king implemented a benevolent government, a tyrant was cruel and unkind, which eventually led to the uprising of the people in the world. She had read a lot about it in books when she was a child, and it could be said that she was deeply influenced by it.
How could she not know such a simple truth?
However, treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause. Once this flood comes, it will still cause disasters next year. The people will still be exposed to the heat of the water, and the court will also allocate grain to provide disaster relief. In this way, the riverbed will pile up higher and higher, even if
Even if it rains a little, there will be signs of the embankment bursting, and by then it will be too late to mend the embankment.
It doesn’t matter whether she is good at singing Xiao Tiange or she doesn’t understand the people’s sentiments. At worst, she doesn’t want to be a queen. Is it possible that no one cares about being a king who works hard for the country every day?
It's not that she has no ambition, but she doesn't value power as much as Lin Di does. In life, the most important thing is joy and happiness, not by trampling on a pile of bones, but by sitting on it no matter what.
That throne.
"My decision has been made, and there is no need to discuss this matter any further. I will leave it to you, Taifu, to handle this matter. The two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites will assist Taifu Bai in the execution. As for the scene, I am reporting to the Queen Mother and confirming that the Queen Mother
After the dragon's body has gradually recovered through recuperation in recent days, he will personally go to the scene to supervise. If the ministers have nothing to report, they will withdraw from the court!"
Although Bai Muji still wanted to say something, he had to give up. Although Xiao Tiange was her student, she was a princess, and after all, she was just a minister. After so many years of serving as an official, she naturally
Understand that as a minister, you should say what you should say and what you should not say, and it is undoubtedly unwise to give advice at this time.
Xiao Tiange did not go back to the East Palace directly after going to court, but went directly to Xiao Jingzhu's Qiankun Palace.
"Yueying, although I have ordered Taifu Bai to deal with the disaster relief ahead and have started to strengthen the river embankment and block the river bed, from now on, you will also observe in secret. If there are any problems, report to me in a timely manner!"
"Yes!" It's not that she doesn't believe Bai Muji and is afraid that she will get in the way, she just thinks that such a sudden new policy is generally difficult to implement.
The chariot walked to the door of Qiankun Palace. Xiao Tiange got off the chariot with the support of Youlu. Just as he was about to walk in, he realized that the person guarding the door of Qiankun Palace today was actually Xiao Luzi beside Lin Di.
The alarm bell couldn't help but blare loudly. When Xiao Luzi saw Xiao Tiange, he naturally bowed and saluted.
"This servant meets Her Royal Highness!"
Although Xiao Tiange had thoughts in his mind, his face was still plain, cold and clear. His dark eyes glanced at Xiao Luzi and he said lightly:
"Why did you come to Qiankun Palace instead of serving your master in Fengxia Palace?"
After Xiaoluzi paused for a moment, Fang respectfully replied:
"Your Highness, this servant came to Qiankun Palace as an errand on the orders of the Emperor and Empress!"
Xiao Luzi's words made Xiao Tiange feel more vigilant, but he still said calmly:
"There are so many servants in Qiankun Palace, why do you still need to come here? Where are the servants who once served the emperor?"
Xiao Luzi looked troubled, but still took his time and replied respectfully:
"Back to Your Highness, this slave is just a slave who obeys others' orders. How dare he try to figure out the master's thoughts at will? When the master asks the slave to come, the slave will follow his orders."
As expected, he was a slave trained by Lin Di. He remained calm in the face of danger and answered in a flawless manner. While rejecting her, he did not offend her openly or covertly.
It is really rare to be able to be at such a close distance and not be shocked by her Xiao Tiange, and not be so scared that you are sweating and your whole body is not shaking.
"Go and send the message and tell me that I am here."
The little Luzi didn't make any move, he still stood there like a log, but his attitude was very respectful, his head was always lowered, and he didn't raise it even a little bit.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to do this!"
