Time flies very fast, and six years have passed. During this period, the New Year did not have the chaos that people predicted, but it was indeed "lively".
The two foolish kings would "make trouble" in the court or among the people every day, causing a lot of jokes. These two men were moody, had weird personalities, and had different ways of thinking from ordinary people. Many officials were often demoted without knowing what mistakes they made. For example, there were
Once, the Jade Bird Emperor, who had only succeeded to the throne for a year, asked a veteran minister who had worked hard and achieved great success, "Why do you wear such a beautiful hat?! Are you rich? Are you showing off! This is for me.
Disrespectful!" The old minister was demoted one level. The next day, the old minister deliberately took off his hat and pretended to be poor, with messy hair. Unfortunately, he met the Jade Swing Emperor and she asked: "Why don't you wear a hat?
?!It’s full of dandruff. It’s so disgusting. This is disrespectful to me!” Alas~ Another level down. There are countless similar things. The old ministers during the reign of Emperor Xiang and the new Emperor Ji were basically demoted due to various things.
, and even forced many people to retire and return to their hometowns. Within a year, there was no one in the government or the public... Soon after, probably knowing that he could not run the entire country on his own, the unscrupulous king promoted young officials without distinction.
Selection based on status, ethnic composition, and living area relied solely on the emperor's own will and the candidates' insignificant talents, learning, and virtues, resulting in many civilians with low qualifications entering the imperial court and filling the official ranks.
, endangering the country. Fortunately, Yang Guanglin, the veteran of the Five Dynasties and the Prime Minister, still had the trust of the two foolish emperors. He traveled between the palace and the people, selected many elite talents, and helped the country overcome various difficulties. In addition, I don’t know.
Yang Yin, who was awarded the title of Crown Prince for some reason, also made great contributions. He was prudent and dedicated, worked hard for the country and the people, and forged ahead; Ms. Li Yang, the deputy general of Weidu, had an upright character and dared to give direct advice, which played a great role in correcting the behavior of the ignorant emperor.
…
The aristocratic families in the east district of the capital were very dissatisfied with the emperor's choice of unqualified lowly commoners. They gathered together to file a complaint with Prince Ji Buyong and ask him to come out to uphold justice. But... alas, it turned out to be a bad thing. The Jade Bird Man was charged with suspected treason and usurpation of the throne.
They put everyone in jail, ransacked their homes and searched their homes, implicating the whole clan, and prepared to kill chickens to scare monkeys, and to serve as a warning to others. Fortunately, General Weidu and Prince Yang Yin petitioned for orders on behalf of the people and persuaded the emperor for a long time.
After saving everyone, the nobles only deprived them of their official titles and confiscated part of their family property, but did not receive any physical punishment. It was a great blessing among misfortunes. In addition, Prince Ji's palace was reprimanded for hosting "suspected rebels", and Ji Buyong's title was lowered again, to the rank of ninth-grade prince.
, already the lowest title in the New Year Kingdom. Yu Zuoqian ordered General Weidu's Yamen to send people to surround Prince Ji's palace, not allowing any outsiders to enter or exit, and imposed a cruel house arrest on his biological father.
The Hunjun, who obtained the nobles' real estate through unreasonable means, ordered the land use rights to be sold. As long as they had money, even commoners could live in Dongcheng District, where nobles of all ages gathered. After exchanging money, the Hunjun became even more extravagant, adding more buildings to the palace project, and expanding the parasol trees.
palace,
There are built-in dressing rooms, dining halls, hospital rooms, hotel rooms, music courts, chess courts, academies, painting schools, and hospitals, so that the beauties from the future talent show can live separately to provide for their happiness and to serve their lives. Due to the expansion, the original number of migrant workers was insufficient.
The Jade Bird Man ordered to recruit from all over the country, many
As a result, the family was separated and the family was miserable. Houses and residences were scarce in the capital. In order to accommodate migrant workers so that they could concentrate on working for the emperor, Yu Shuqian ordered that the confiscated garden courtyard of Damen in Dongcheng District be changed into regional group housing, and required the construction of multi-story buildings.
residence
.The people exclaimed, "How can there be such a thing in the world that you live above and below others? How terrible it is to eat, drink, and drink on top of others! Living in the same building if you are not a relative or acquaintance is disrespectful of etiquette! It goes against moral principles, and the system is often broken."
...However, there is no way. The emperor has an order, no one dares to disobey it.
Most foolish kings are tyrants, and the Jade Bird Man, and the Jade Swing is no exception. A certain Lu family is a wealthy family in the northwest city. It has been a family rule since ancient times not to eat mutton. One day, several lowly migrant workers from other places passed by their door carrying mutton legs.
The Lu family, together with many relatives and friends, caught those migrant workers, punished them with small punishments and severe punishments, and caused them to die accidentally; they broke into a construction site again
, and injured ten more migrant workers. When the Hunjun learned about this, he was furious and said, "All the people in the world are my slaves. Who of you dare to kill my slaves?!" He ordered the entire Lu family to be arrested and brought to justice, and they were beheaded at the end of that month.
When the public was shown, there were more than a hundred dead, ranging from octogenarians to nobles and old men, and children gibbering at the bottom. It was too horrible to see. The ignorant king also threatened: "The law does not punish everyone."
"The law does not blame the old? The law does not blame the young? Impossible. If ten thousand people commit a crime, ten thousand people will die; if the old and the young commit a crime, the old and the young will die. There will be no mercy." The people exclaimed again. It was obviously the untouchable migrant workers from other places who did not respect Lu.
In the tradition of clan names, mistakes are made first. Why was the Lu family killed? Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a new national tradition. How can it be destroyed? Respect the ideas of the majority.
The law is a traditional concept. Even if you make mistakes, you should not be punished. How can you violate it? Unfortunately, the foolish emperor must not be able to listen to advice. The two emperors acted wantonly and no one dared to say anything. They directly issued an edict to threaten the people of the country: "There is no law."
You can do it if it is prohibited, but you cannot do it without the authorization of the law. Violating our king's laws will never be forgiven. Whoever dares to disobey will be killed by us!"
In the third year after taking the throne, Emperor Jade Swing was greedy for the precious fruits from the Southern Monster Forest and ordered them to be transported from Nanjing City. However, due to the long journey and bumpy carriage and horses, the precious fruits were damaged before they arrived. The empress was furious and ordered the renovation of Nanjing City and the
roads in the capital, and established large-scale warehouses in the southern city, and also required the National Magic Dou
The Qi Academy developed magic crystal-driven transportation machinery and cold and hot food equipment. Naturally, these two things consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and caused public resentment. In the fourth year of his succession, the Jade Bird Emperor was unbearably greedy and began to demand "
"Girls' School" selects beauties and sends them to Kyoto. Such vicious demands are made on the people of the country
Disdainful, although everyone dare not disobey, they can "perfunctory" for the sake of justice. The selection officials will violate the "women are not talented" reason on the grounds that "beauty and ugliness vary from person to person, and it is difficult to distinguish between grades. The daughter of the selected scholar Wen Tonghui will be offered."
It was the ugly girl who was "virtuous" who was sent to the capital. All the "beauties" gathered together, and the foolish king inspected them for many days, and he was greatly displeased.
Dissatisfied, he ordered: "I heard that there are many beauties in the Eastern Realm City. I am envious of them and want to travel eastward to choose a spouse. Because there are many followers and the supply is huge, the road condition of the 'Jingdong Avenue' is not good, so I will start to travel to the Eastern Realm City today."
The roads with the capital must be repaired. They must be strong, flat, durable, with sixty-four lanes in both directions..."
The construction of roads to the Imperial Palace and South City has already made the people miserable. If it weren't for the Magic Douqi Academy's promotion of farming mulberry magic crystal machinery, there wouldn't be so many idle people. Now that a Jingdong Road is added, where can we find people? Especially with the "choose a spouse"
The reason for building the road was so great that the people were so rebellious that they couldn't recruit anyone.
Official A, who was ordered to recruit people, had a frown on his face and was sitting alone in a wine shop eating wine. "Oh, Emperor, Emperor, what do you want me to do?"
