Chapter 672: Reward! The aggrieved and humble emperor's son!
Faced with the praises of the ministers, the emperor Di Mu, Lao Situ, Xixinghou and others knew themselves. The reason for the frequent successes in the dynasty was not due to them, but to Xiyunhou who was thousands of miles away.
Without the inspiration of Marquis Xiyun and the example of Xi Kingdom's prosperity, they would not have been able to make a detailed and effective new law on the "First Acre Tax".
Emperor Mu is an upright person, and he is very clear about his merits and demerits, but he can't express his merits for Yao Yun at the moment, so he waved his hand with no interest and announced his withdrawal from the court.
The emperor, Di Mu, behaved so indifferently that the minister's flattery was slapped on the horse's hooves, and he retreated in frustration.
Imperial Garden.
After resigning from the court, Lao Situ, Situ Xixinghou, and the emperor's son Qi came as ordered and continued to discuss important matters.
Without other ministers around, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was very casual. As soon as Old Situ sat down, he immediately laughed heartily and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, the [New First Mu Tax] is indeed a trump card. It is a fatal blow once it is struck.
All the princes in the world have lost their voices!”
The emperor, Emperor Mu, was also very satisfied and nodded slightly: "The princes of the world used the hearts of the people to condemn and impeach me. As soon as this method of removing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron came out, the people of the world turned to support the emperor. Naturally, they had no power to resist. Si Tu, what is the specific situation now?
Already?"
Si Tu Xinghou immediately reported: "Your Majesty, the cultivated land of more than fifty countries has been clarified at present, and the progress is rapid. It is expected that there will be dozens of good news every day in the future. Before winter comes, throughout the summer, more than 800 princes will be visited.
All farmland in the country can be registered!"
"Very good!" Emperor Di Mu rarely showed a relaxed look on his face.
The daily operation of the Celestial Empire costs countless money, especially the nine divisions of Yunshi, nine elite divisions of the fifth grade, with nearly 100,000 empty strings, like nine-headed gluttons, consuming money and food every day, and countless treasures of heaven and earth. The Celestial Empire is facing a huge crisis.
In the current financial crisis, the smooth implementation of the [New First Mu Tax] is a timely blessing for China.
The rest of the people also breathed a sigh of relief, looking relaxed and beaming with joy.
"It's a pity that I can't express my merits to Marquis Xiyun this time. It's a pity, it's a pity!" After being overjoyed, Old Situ couldn't help but shook his head and regretted that this time Marquis Xiyun had made great contributions, but this credit was more of a disaster than a blessing for him. I'm afraid
He was criticized by everyone in the world and was trapped in injustice!
Emperor Mu nodded slightly. Although his relationship with the Youxi family was still subtle, Yao Yun did help him a lot this time. It was not easy for him to do this kind of thing.
But it would be unreasonable not to reward him with recognition.
Emperor Mu frowned slightly and asked, "Two beloved ministers, how do you think we should deal with them?"
Old Situ smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this matter should not be made public, otherwise it will be unfair to Marquis Xiyun, and the credit will not be calculated.
It's on his head, but we can find a way to reward Marquis Xiyun."
When Emperor Mu heard this, he also felt that it made sense: "Well, what Old Situ said makes sense."
Situ Xixinghou: "Your Majesty, Old Situ, before, Marquis Xiyun ranked first among all the princes in the world in tribute. He provided a large amount of grain and relieved the coal-burning crisis for the nine tribes of Yunshi. His contribution is not small.
Why not take this as an excuse and reward them together!"
"Very good!" Emperor Mu of the Emperor pondered for a while and agreed to Si Tu Xinghou's proposal, and then ordered: "Previously, the Xi Kingdom annexed the Mo Kingdom and the Shanyuan Kingdom. I banned the tokens of Marquis Xiyun for five years. The remaining
In the next four years, he will be released from the ban this time, consider it a reward."
The Marquis' token, Xingui, can suppress a country's luck. Three thousand luck beads can be condensed in one month, which will produce 36,000 luck beads in one year. Four years after the ban is lifted, there will be hundreds of thousands of luck beads.
This reward must be said to be quite generous!
Old Situ and Marquis Xixing were quite shocked when they heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, they were relieved.
Previously, Emperor Mu of the Emperor banned Xi Guo Xingui, firstly to punish Xiguo for annexing its neighbors, and secondly, to suppress Xiguo and prevent Xiguo from rising too quickly. The latter was the main reason.
After traveling to the Xi Kingdom this time, both the emperor and the two important ministers of the Celestial Dynasty understood that the rise of the Xi Kingdom was complete, and the effect of banning Marquis Xingui was only moderate.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take this opportunity to lift the ban and give Yao Yun some face.
Of course, the reason why Emperor Dimu completely changed his attention was Yao Yun. Yao Yun's style and attitude made Emperor Dimu feel at ease.
I was afraid that Marquis Xiyun was the kind of young, frivolous and unruly person, but after seeing what he saw, Emperor Mu had already determined that Yao Yun was a smart man and had a bottom line in his actions. Even if he became the master of the world and dominated the ups and downs of the world in the future, he would not
Kill them all.
It is precisely because of this foundation that Emperor Mu is determined to "break the ice" with the Youxi family. It is not only good for the other party to put aside their past grudges, but also to leave some sympathy for Emperor Qi.
Old Situ and Situ Xixinghou left with their decrees, leaving only the Emperor Mu and Emperor Qi in the Imperial Garden.
"Qi'er, don't tell outsiders what happened today." Emperor Mu remembered something and quickly ordered.
"Father, although my sons and ministers do not like Xiyunhou, they can still distinguish between right and wrong. This time, Xiyunhou is also sharing the worries of the Celestial Empire. How can I publicize it to the outside world and frame him for injustice? Besides, this is also harmful to the Celestial Dynasty.
unfavorable!"
When he said this, Emperor Ziqi looked depressed, that's what he thought, but when his father asked, he suddenly felt unhappy.
Emperor Mu, the emperor, was generally satisfied when he saw his son say this. At least he was not stupid, and there was a possibility of training. If the emperor really surrendered Yao Yun, he would be extremely stupid. Yao Yun might
He will be criticized by the princes from all sides, but the princes can't do anything to Xi Guo.
On the contrary, the Celestial Empire broke its trust with the princes, which is heartbreaking. In the future, the princes will weigh three points when they serve as the emperor and serve the Celestial Empire!
"Well~ I still have some brains and some knowledge, but compared to Yao Yun..."
Emperor Mu opened his mouth to praise Emperor Zi Qi, but when he mentioned Yao Yun, his mind not only remembered Yao Yun's demeanor of neither being humble nor arrogant, but also confidently discussing things in front of everyone.
Just thinking about it, Emperor Mu suddenly became angry.
They are both the emperor's sons, so how come the half-emperor Di Xuan was able to give birth to such an outstanding Qilin'er, while his emperor's son Qi was so unattractive!
Thinking of this, Emperor Mu felt that iron could not become steel.
When the emperor's son Qi saw his father pause and his face turn from sunny to gloomy, his heart immediately skipped a beat.
Sure enough, the next moment, the words of Emperor Mu came floatingly:
"I'm afraid you don't know, but now Yao Yun's cultivation has reached the fourth-grade feudal realm. I see that his cultivation is solid, his spirit is restrained, and even his physical body has been worked hard to achieve perfection. In terms of cultivation, he will soon catch up with you.
, what qualifications do you have to dislike others, you bastard..."
"Yes, I understand."
"The Marquis of Xiyun is a model for the princes of the heaven in being both civil and military. You should imitate him. Don't be jealous of the talented..."
"Yes yes yes.."
"What is it, do you really understand it?"
"Father, I really understand!"
...
Listening to Di Mu's scolding, Emperor Ziqi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He wanted to cry but had no tears. He was so aggrieved that he could not speak.
