Chapter 97: Gu Jinnian's unified strategy in the East Wilderness, Yongsheng Tian's anger, civil and
In the palace.
Emperor Yongsheng looked straight at Gu Jinnian.
He was confused.
Also very curious.
No one in the civil and military dynasties knew, nor did he, the emperor, know why Gu Jinnian knew that the Huns came to make peace this time in order to steal the country's destiny.
Where is the evidence?
Facing his uncle, the emperor of Daxia, Gu Jinnian seemed calm.
"uncle."
"My nephew has the blessing of destiny in his body. When the Huns came this time, my nephew noticed it, and then he decided that the Huns came here to steal the country's destiny."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, this was the speech he had already prepared.
Just the words fell.
Emperor Yongsheng's eyes were extremely calm, and he looked straight at Gu Jinnian.
"Jinnian, do you think I will believe it?"
Emperor Yongsheng said calmly, looking at the other party.
As soon as he said this, the latter fell silent.
You don’t believe such a reasonable reason?
"Jin Nian, tell the truth, I won't blame you."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and asked Gu Jinnian to tell the truth.
"There is an ancient tree in my body. As long as I absorb gold and jade, I can know everything in the world."
"Uncle, do you believe this?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
Emperor Yongsheng: ""
Obviously Emperor Yongsheng did not believe this, and he would rather believe the former.
For Gu Jinnian, this is distress, no one believes him when he tells the truth.
When Gu Jinnian remained silent, Emperor Yongsheng did not continue to press the question, but changed his approach.
"Jinnian, I ask you, how sure are you that this Xiongnu conspiracy is true?"
Emperor Yongsheng did not press him.
Gu Jinnian didn't say it out loud, maybe because he had his own thoughts. He didn't care about this, but what he was most concerned about now was this issue.
If it's just a simple guess, that's fine. If Gu Jinnian is completely sure, then he will feel confident.
"Ten percent."
Gu Jinnian answered in the affirmative. Gushu never made mistakes, so he believed it was 100%.
"Ten percent."
After receiving the answer, Emperor Yongsheng looked a little strange.
He believed what Gu Jinnian said.
But after a while, Emperor Yongsheng sighed, looking a little melancholy.
"Even so, Jinnian, you shouldn't say it."
"Since the Huns dare to steal Daxia's national destiny, it means that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface."
"There are too many involved in this. The Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, and even other forces are involved."
"If you see through their conspiracy, you should tell me as soon as possible instead of enduring it alone. Now that the Xiongnu Kingdom hates you to the core, I am afraid that the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty will also have objections to you."
"This is not a good thing for you in the future."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, knowing in his heart that Gu Jinnian did this for himself.
But if they do this, they will become the losers. These people dare not touch themselves, but they are really brave to touch Gu Jinnian.
And if this thing is true, then it means that there are spies in the court.
The official position is not small.
These people already hate Gu Jinnian to death and will target him everywhere, which is not a good thing.
This is absolutely true.
It would be difficult to catch the other party out if he hid it so deeply. As time went by and he was gone, it would be easy for them to target Gu Jinnian.
Even if you are here, can't others impeach Gu Jinnian just because of this incident?
Gu Jinnian will never make mistakes?
Making too many enemies is not a good thing, although he knows why Gu Jinnian wants to make enemies.
"Uncle, we must talk about this matter."
"My nephew wants to cut off all thoughts of thieves."
"If my nephew knew about it, he would tell his uncle immediately. With his character, he would definitely choose to take action secretly."
"But this matter, after all, involves the fate of the country. If we choose to do it secretly, we can indeed follow the clues and catch the spies."
"But a mere traitor will show up sooner or later. If it is not exposed today, the Huns will come up with other ways to steal the country's destiny."
"When the time comes, it will be impossible to guard against it. He can make a thousand mistakes, but I, Daxia, cannot make one mistake. I will obviously suffer a loss."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
He has his own ideas.
Faced with this matter, Emperor Yongsheng would inevitably choose to investigate secretly, use other methods to prevent the marriage, and then follow the clues to find out who the spy was.
This idea is definitely a good one.
But here comes the question, how do you want to dig out a person who can hide so deep in the Great Xia Dynasty? How much time will it take?
You, Emperor Yongsheng, are the most powerful in terms of power, and it only takes half a year, right?
But in this short half year, if you don't get married, they will use other methods to steal the country's destiny.
It is impossible to guard against it. Once Daxia makes a mistake, it will be theft of the national destiny. Is it necessary?
What is a traitor?
As long as you know it, you can find out sooner or later.
Anyway, among this group of people, if it really doesn’t work, wouldn’t it be enough to reshuffle them all before the succession of the throne?
But stealing the national destiny is not a trivial matter. Killing him by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will not help, and it will become a joke to the world.
What Gu Jinnian said.
It does make sense, and Emperor Yongsheng also recognized this reason, but they have their own ideas at this level, and Gu Jinnian has Gu Jinnian's ideas. Both methods will work.
As long as the results are good, there's no problem.
"Next time if you encounter something like this, you still have to tell me."
"You haven't stepped into the court yet, and you don't know many things."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke. He agreed with Gu Jinnian's remarks, but he still had to remind him that after all, he was an elder and the emperor of Daxia. He could discuss anything with him.
"Uncle, please rest assured. Next time something like this happens again, my nephew will inform you in time."
Gu Jinnian smiled.
Emperor Yongsheng also exhaled and looked at Gu Jinnian.
"Jin Nian, you are about to be granted the title of Marquis. How do you feel about it?"
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and asked about some other things.
"fine."
"Sooner or later, I will inherit my father's title, it's just a matter of time."
Gu Jinnian seemed very calm. He was a powerful person himself, and being granted the title of Marquis was nothing more than proving to the world that he was capable.
There is nothing special about other aspects.
"Earlier?"
"Don't say this out loud, or you will be plotted against."
Emperor Yongsheng was a little angry. To others, being granted the title of Marquis was a big deal. To honor his ancestors, he wanted to hold a grand banquet for ten days and ten nights.
For Gu Jinnian, it was just a matter of time. If word got out, those civil servants and generals would have to skin Gu Jinnian.
"correct."
"Jinnian, please give me a good answer."
"If Daxia fights against the Xiongnu, there is a 10% chance of winning."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke. He asked Gu Jinnian this question as a test of him.
As soon as he said this, Gu Jinnian almost said it without thinking.
"The king of Daxia will go on an expedition with 100% certainty."
Gu Jinnian said extremely seriously.
Praising the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Seriously."
Emperor Yongsheng glanced at Gu Jinnian and told him to be honest and serious.
As soon as he said this, Gu Jinnian became a little more honest.
"Uncle, it's not that my nephew is not serious. You want me to talk about such a big thing? If you say it badly, it will affect the morale of the army. If you say it is okay, you don't believe it."
This is really not Gu Jinnian's trick. For such a big matter, the six ministers have nothing to do with it? The prime minister has nothing to do with it?
To put it bluntly, it is best not to interfere in such a big matter. Whether you can win or not depends on the situation. If what you say affects the judgment of Emperor Yongsheng, wouldn't it be a loss of blood?
"I just want to listen to your opinion and I won't care too much."
"You have the right to think of it as me testing you to see if you have any knowledge. Tell me quickly."
For some reason, Emperor Yongsheng felt that his nephew was just hiding all his knowledge.
Gu Jinnian is said to be steady. In terms of politics, he is really honest and cautious. He does not have the style of a family of military generals at all. Like those civil servants, they are all shady.
It can be said that Gu Jinnian was impulsive, and he was quite impulsive. He defended the people's grievances. At the Daxia Poetry Festival, including this marriage, no one came forward. Gu Jinnian insisted on coming forward, but fortunately he was doing it for the sake of justice.
If this was very controversial from other aspects, it would not be good.
After hearing his uncle's question, Gu Jinnian thought for a while.
Then he spoke slowly.
"If it's just a duel, Daxia is 90% sure to beat the Xiongnu."
"After all, there are so many soldiers in Daxia, and with the help of the Longmen cannon, it won't be a big problem."
This is Gu Jinnian's judgment.
If we just stop there, the Daxia Dynasty has a high probability of victory. The Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty will not intervene in anything. They just say it is just a show. A big country must also have the attitude of a big country.
It’s impossible for the Daxia Dynasty to say nothing with so many things happening, right?
If you send someone over and don't give a blow, will the people and soldiers obey?
Dynasties sabotage each other, but when it comes to issues of principle, everyone still accommodates each other, as long as it doesn't involve my interests.
Gu Jinnian's answer is not a big problem.
However, Emperor Yongsheng continued to ask.
"What if I want to take back the twelve cities?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, he looked at Gu Jinnian and asked.
As soon as he said this, Gu Jinnian fell silent.
Until the point is reached, Daxia will definitely win. Retaking the twelve cities will be troublesome, and it is not an ordinary trouble, it is extremely troublesome.
"Sixty percent."
"The Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty will definitely intervene in this matter. Normally, it is 40%, but now Daxia's morale is high and the people's support is what they want. If they really fight to the end, they are 60% certain to win."
"But uncle, my nephew doesn't know many things, especially the military aspects of Daxia, so don't blame me if I'm wrong."
This is Gu Jinnian's judgment, 60% has reached the top. After all, the Great Xia Dynasty has strong troops and horses, and there is no civil strife. Plus the people's will, 60% is OK.
But Gu Jinnian was not involved in many things and did not know about them. Gu Jinnian really didn’t know what was going on.
After receiving this answer, Emperor Yongsheng smiled slightly, appearing a little unfathomable.
"Then what if I want my horse to trample on the royal court?"
Emperor Yongsheng continued to ask.
As soon as he said this, Gu Jinnian immediately shut up.
The more you talk, the more outrageous you are.
The first two are okay, but a horse tramples the royal court? What are you thinking about?
In ancient militarized wars, if you want to destroy a country, what price does it cost?
It's almost a full-scale attack, and you have to make sure that no other country comes to harass you, and that your country's treasury is strong, with money and food, enough for you to fight for ten years.
Otherwise, given the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty, it would be no problem for the entire army to attack and crush the Xiongnu. But when Emperor Yongsheng returns home, he will be shocked to find that his home is gone.
It's that simple.
Even the Fuluo Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty would never agree to the Xia Dynasty's suppression of the Xiongnu.
In addition, there are hundreds of tribes, large and small, near the Xiongnu Kingdom. These tribes may have a few thousand people in small ones and hundreds of thousands in large ones, and they all have the concept that all the people are soldiers.
Want to destroy the Huns?
Unless the Great Xia Dynasty starts from now on, vigorously develops people's livelihood, economy and military, ensures that there will be no natural or man-made disasters, ensures that the monarch and ministers are of the same mind, and the policies from above are conscientiously implemented below, to ensure that other countries will not come to cause trouble.
If it lasts for about fifty years, the Horse Shoe Palace will be established. At that time, there will not be enough food, grass and silver, so it is possible to start a war.
Isn't it too much to fight this kind of war for at least ten or twenty years?
How many variables are there?
This is what ancient wars were like. Logistics and supplies always come first, and domestic stability is also very important.
If he really wants to trample on the royal court, the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty will definitely condemn him strongly. If the Daxia Dynasty doesn't listen, it is very likely that they will also join the war.
So this is impossible.
Of course, it would be much simpler if we use another method to trample the royal court.
This method is neither easy nor difficult.
Modernizing economic sanctions.
Gu Jinnian has actually been researching this matter since time travel, but he hasn't completely sorted it out yet, but he almost knows a few things.
Just take the simplest thing, money.
The main currency of the Daxia Dynasty was copper coins, followed closely by silver. Gold was of little use and was at most a unit of measurement, unless it was in a high-consumption place like Kyoto.
Otherwise, in a normal city, it would be troublesome for people to find one or two gold coins.
However, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Daxia Dynasty, and hundreds of surrounding vassal states all had no unified currency.
Do you think gold counts?
It doesn’t really count.
It's very simple. In some places, the gold production volume is high. If hundreds of gold mountains are mined, they come to you to buy things. Can you withstand it?
In other places, there are a lot of silver mountains. If you use a hoe to dig like this, will your silver be able to withstand it?
Not to mention copper mines.
If you really dare to accept it, I won't fight anymore. I'll dig copper mines every day, mint copper coins, and buy up your country. It won't be a big problem.
Domestic trade is based on the imperial court's coinage, and currency circulation is good. Of course, we are also cracking down on border currency issues. After all, there are always people who take risks, and the crackdown is very strict. If they are found, they will be beheaded.
The same is true for private minting of coins.
And because this is the world of immortal martial arts, there are some inexplicable methods. If you catch one, you can basically follow the clues and find out who is the mastermind behind it. Which country dares to play this kind of thing is basically a declaration of war.
The three major dynasties have all signed corresponding deeds. After all, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, and everyone still has currency awareness.
The border trade is the purest form of bartering. The silks and porcelain produced in the Great Xia Dynasty can be exchanged for some precious medicines and gems in the Great Jin Dynasty.
The Fuluo Dynasty can exchange them for some good horse jade articles, or some special gold and silver, which are not gold and silver coins.
In this way, if a new type of currency can be produced, then things will become much more interesting.
Economic harvest, colonial control, currency war.
Combining these three things together, what does a mere Hun dynasty mean?
Of course, the idea is wonderful, but it is extremely difficult to implement it.
The simplest two questions are before us.
The first country is not strong enough. If it does something like this, it will be plucked by others.
Second, what should be directly linked to the currency? In the past life, a certain country used gold and oil. However, although gold is also a rarity in this world, it is definitely not as scarce as in the previous life. In addition, everyone does not need oil.
If you cannot solve the problem of pegs, no one will accept the new currency you promote.
The Daxia Dynasty, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, and even the Zhongzhou Dynasty all tried to promote paper money.
Mei said its name is "Bao Chao".
But basically all the promotion of copper coins have failed because the people don't believe it. Even if you issue an imperial decree not to allow the use of copper coins, the people will have many ways to solve it privately.
Market prices fluctuate and banknote prices depreciate, which are the biggest obstacles to currency promotion.
Originally, a treasure note with a face value of one tael of silver could buy five liters of rice. But after three days, you did nothing and went to buy rice again, only to find that you could only buy three liters. This happens only once.
It is guaranteed that the common people will not dare to ask for this thing.
Obviously, this happened during the reign of Taizu, which aroused huge public dissatisfaction and almost caused serious trouble. Officials who promoted Baobao were all executed. It was not that they had really done anything wrong, but that it would be difficult to vent their anger without killing them.
Therefore, the Baochao plan was an extremely failed plan in the Great Xia Dynasty.
but.
Gu Jinnian has a way to solve this problem, and he doesn't worry about whether the people will buy it, because the people will definitely buy it.
It's just that this thing needs to be considered in the long term, and it doesn't make any sense to say it now.
Everyone doesn't understand, and until it has no effect, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble. It doesn't matter to Gu Jinnian if he is scolded a few times.
But if someone catches your eye and copies it directly, that's the real trouble.
Once this plan is successfully implemented, Daxia will have the qualifications to dominate the world.
"what's on your mind?"
At this moment, Emperor Yongsheng suddenly spoke, his voice much more excited than before.
He asked Gu Jinnian, which shocked Gu Jinnian.
"ha?"
"Uncle, what did you say?"
Gu Jinnian came back to his senses. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. He really forgot that his uncle was right in front of him.
"What were you thinking just now?"
Emperor Yongsheng is not stupid.
His question just now, whether he could ride a horse into the Huns, was a completely casual question.
No matter how Gu Jinnian answers, he won't say anything.
But the problem was that Gu Jinnian didn't answer. Instead, he thought deeply, and thought a lot, which shocked Emperor Yongsheng.
If it were another person, such as his grandson, and Li Ji had been thinking about it for a long time, he would immediately feel that Li Ji's mind had wandered outside.
But the person in front of him was Gu Jinnian.
This nephew learns from himself and is perfect in everything.
Emperor Yongsheng's thoughts were different.
He vaguely felt that what Gu Jinnian was thinking about just now was how to destroy the Huns, and Gu Jinnian did not frown from the beginning to the end, which meant that he had a plan.
And this plan seems likely to be able to destroy the Huns.
For any other person, Emperor Yongsheng would not feel this way, but if this person was Gu Jinnian, he somehow felt that it was possible.
That's why he asked Gu Jinnian what he was thinking.
"Do you have a plan in mind?"
Emperor Yongsheng asked.
He wanted to hear what Gu Jinnian was thinking.
But Gu Jinnian immediately shook his head and said.
"Uncle, my nephew has no plan. In terms of military matters, my nephew knows a little about the art of war, but nothing else."
Gu Jinnian pretended to be dead.
It was impossible for him to say it, because Emperor Yongsheng would definitely not agree to it. It would be better to make some achievements first and then talk about it.
And I am not 100% sure whether my plan will work.
If it doesn't work, the amount of energy and financial resources consumed is not a small amount, and it can't be said anyway.
Of course, there is another reason that cannot be said, and that is that it is not particularly beneficial to you. You have to do this thing well by yourself. If you succeed, you will control the lifeblood of the world.
It’s not that I have to challenge Daxia, but I have the absolute ability to protect myself.
Gu Jinnian knew that his uncle would not harm him, but there was no guarantee that this would happen. Now this uncle was still old and strong, and he could be considered young.
But what if you get old?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very sensible when he was young, but what happened in his old age? Even his own son did not believe it.
So what does being a nephew mean to you?
Taking a step back, my uncle is so talented and strategic. Where is the prince? Where is the great-grandson? Where is the great-grandson’s son?
Although it is a bit early to speak, as a human being, it is normal to be defensive.
If he really has no thoughts about himself, then he will not harm Daxia and will honestly assist Zuo Daxia to become the world's first dynasty. In the future, his power will become greater and greater, creating a win-win situation.
But if it doesn't work, then don't play it hot.
Listening to Gu Jinnian's answer, Emperor Yongsheng was really silent for a moment.
This nephew is very smart, and he has many clever ideas. Sometimes he can really expand people's thinking.
break the ice.
But he is too cautious, especially when facing himself, and he doesn’t know who taught him.
It was probably taught by Gu Laoliu again.
Emperor Yongsheng could guess what Gu Ningya would teach Gu Jinnian.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
Why don't you treat the emperor as one of your own? You can't guess the emperor's thoughts.
What to keep your distance from.
You can think of this kind of statement with your toes.
Otherwise, how old do you think you are? It makes you seventeen, right?
How can a seventeen-year-old have so many ideas?
Damn it, Gu Laoliu, wait until the assassination is over to see if I can deal with you or not.
With this idea in mind, Emperor Yongsheng stood up, looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Jin Nian."
"I won't tell you anything more. In short, if it can benefit the Great Xia Dynasty, I can give you a franchise."
"Also, you are my nephew, and you also have the blood of the Li family in your body. I am your uncle, so there is no need to guard against me."
"Okay, go back and have a good rest. You are also tired today."
Emperor Yongsheng asked Gu Jinnian to go back and have a good rest.
We talked for nearly an hour, and all the civil and military officials were waiting in the main hall.
It won't work if I don't go again.
"good."
"By the way, uncle, if you have to tell me, I have something to ask you."
Gu Jinnian didn't say anything, but at the end, he still shouted.
"how?"
Emperor Yongsheng looked over curiously.
"Uncle, if you do such a good job this time, you should reward me with some money, right?"
"Fifty thousand taels of gold, not much, right?"
"Uncle, let's speak in good conscience. Regardless of whether the Huns stole the country's fortune or not, this time my nephew helped the Daxia Dynasty bring so much national fortune, so he must give us 500,000 taels of gold, right?"
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he received five hundred thousand taels of gold.
But this time, when Gu Jinnian asked for so much money, it was really not to buy information about the ancient tree, but to do something.
The time is not yet ripe, mainly because there is not enough money.
"Fifty thousand taels of gold?"
"What do you want so much money for?"
Emperor Yongsheng frowned, the amount of silver was too much, equivalent to five million taels of silver.
"Don't worry about it. Five hundred thousand taels of gold is absolutely worth it. Uncle, you won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"
Gu Jinnian started to talk a lot.
Hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng was a little angry at this unlucky boy.
But after thinking about it, Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
"Wei Xian, give him all the money in my inner treasury, reduce some expenses in the palace, and collect two hundred thousand taels of gold for Jinnian."
"Jin Nian, I can give you two hundred thousand taels of gold. If there is not enough left, you can go to your grandfather."
Emperor Yongsheng did not withdraw funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs, but used his own internal treasury, that is, the funds allocated from the small treasury. In addition, he reduced the expenses in the palace, and it was considered clear.
In theory, it's not a bad treatment for Gu Jinnian.
"Thank you, uncle."
"By the way, uncle, where is the imperial edict?"
Gu Jinnian smiled all over his face. Although the amount was different from what he expected, two hundred thousand taels of gold was still enough. At the same time, he also remembered another thing.
The imperial edict that was promised before.
"The imperial decree asked Wei Xian to give it to you. I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you anymore."
"Go back to the academy and rest."
Emperor Yongsheng did not hesitate and walked directly towards the main hall in a vigorous and resolute manner.
Wei Xian was left looking at Gu Jinnian with a smile on his face.
Feeling the dangerous smile, Gu Jinnian felt a little weird for no reason, but he still responded.
Not long after, Wei Xian took the imperial edict and indeed sealed it.
"His Royal Highness, two hundred thousand taels of gold will take some time to prepare. Can you send it to the academy tomorrow?"
There is money in the imperial court, but it is the inner treasury of Emperor Yongsheng. It will take a certain amount of time to take it out. It is impossible to take out a stack of silver notes on the spot.
"Okay, Eunuch Wei, you're welcome."
Gu Jinnian said with a gentle smile.
"No, no, no, His Royal Highness is the one who is doing the hard work today. I don't think there will be any surprises."
"At this time tomorrow, everyone in the world will know about Daxia's refusal to marry today. The reputation of His Royal Highness really needs to be known to the world."
"I also hope that His Highness, the Crown Prince, will take more care of this slave in the future."
Wei Xian didn't dare to trust him.
If it were another Crown Prince, he would really be able to put on a show, but the current Crown Prince in front of him is different.
“Words come true.”
Gu Jinnian remained on the sidelines regarding these eunuchs, because from the current point of view, Liu Yan and Wei Xian were fulfilling their responsibilities, but if they really took power in the future, it would be another matter.
Or there is nothing wrong with the two of them, but the eunuch behind will have a problem.
Anyway, these are all hidden dangers, so it’s better to keep a good relationship with yourself. If something happens in the future, it won’t affect you.
After receiving the imperial edict, Gu Jinnian left directly, feeling quite good.
As for the main hall of the palace.
But he looked extremely serious. Compared with Gu Jinnian's good mood, all the civil and military officials in the main hall were very heavy-minded.
Especially after Emperor Yongsheng appeared.
Those cold eyes made everyone present feel terrified.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
At this moment, everyone spoke together, but Emperor Yongsheng did not speak, and everyone could only continue to worship.
It can be seen that Emperor Yongsheng was very angry.
"Ah."
"sharp."
"It's really amazing."
"No one in the civil and military dynasties could have guessed that the Xiongnu country's intention to make peace was to steal the country's destiny."
"You guys are really a bunch of losers."
"Such a big thing almost led to a catastrophe. If I hadn't seen it in advance, the national destiny of the Great Xia Dynasty would have been stolen by the Huns."
"It's not a pity for you to die."
Emperor Yongsheng went crazy. In front of Gu Jinnian, he was actually fine, but after seeing this group of people, he couldn't help but get angry.
Almost.
He was almost ruined as an emperor, and his country's destiny was stolen, and it was stolen by the Huns.
What a big deal this is?
Everyone in the world will laugh at themselves.
First, twelve cities were occupied, part of the national destiny was lost, and the territory was also lost.
Now that you are getting married and losing the destiny of your country, if any natural or man-made disaster occurs in the future, it will be your own problem.
I have not been a good emperor.
It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he was ruined.
How can this not make Emperor Yongsheng furious?
At this moment, all civil and military officials in the court did not dare to speak. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Especially the Ministry of Rites.
It was even more deathly silent.
"Here comes someone."
At this time, Emperor Yongsheng spoke with cold eyes.
"Send the left minister and right minister of the Ministry of Rites to the Hanging Deng Department."
"All those suspected of marriage in the Ministry of Etiquette will be sent to the Xuan Deng Department for thorough investigation."
"Temporarily dismiss Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, and wait until a thorough investigation of the matter is completed. If there are no problems, we will discuss the matter again."
"Similarly, I will set up the East Factory from now on, responsible for supervising the civil and military officials, and can dispatch the Xuan Deng Division, the Town Government Division, and the Dali Temple. With the imperial power, the chief eunuch has the right to kill first and report later."
"Let Wei Xian and Liu Yan be the chief and deputy leaders of Dongchang."
"Wei Xian is in charge internally and Liu Yan is in charge externally. All the prefectures and counties in Daxia are fully cooperating with Dongchang. Anyone who dares to hinder Dongchang's work will be executed."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
After saying this, the civil and military officials in the entire court were shocked.
They can accept the reshuffle of the Ministry of Rites. After all, such a big thing has happened. To put it bluntly, even if it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, they still have to take some responsibility.
After all, the Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for the marriage, and it would be unreasonable not to severely punish her.
But reaching the level of a minister is a bit exaggerated. One of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites is a heavenly official. Basically, everything in Daxia has his shadow in it.
Yang Kai was dismissed, although it was only temporary, but this kind of temporary is even more terrifying, there are so many people below waiting for this position.
If the emperor is really unhappy, just change him to another one. What can you do?
But once Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, is dismissed from his post, no one knows how many people will be implicated because of this matter, and countless forces, large and small, will fall. It's such an exaggeration.
But all this can be tolerated, Yang Kai is still quite popular in the court, as long as His Majesty is not determined to replace him, and everyone can say something nice when the limelight is over.
By the way, if the prince comes forward, that will be enough.
However, the establishment of the East Factory is outrageous.
Supervise hundreds of officials.
Isn't this just a knife hanging over their heads?
And let a group of eunuchs and eunuchs supervise them? To be honest, every move they make will be exposed. It is actually not difficult to collect evidence about them. Just find someone to keep an eye on them at all times.
In this way, everyone's lives are in His Majesty's hands.
The concentration of imperial power is exaggerated. They have no right to remonstrate. Or have they really offended His Majesty and disobeyed His Majesty? Does that mean they will be settled by the Queen in the future?
To put it bluntly, Emperor Yongsheng is more rational, but what if the next emperor is irrational?
If anyone provokes him, he will ask Dongchang to investigate. After the investigation, there will be some problems, right?
Once there is a problem, Kacha will kill you with a knife, and no one will speak up for you, because you did something wrong first, and you deserve to die.
It was enough for the Daxia Dynasty to have a censor.
Now there is another Dongchang, how can this not make people panic?
"Your Majesty, please think twice before you act."
"Establishing the East Factory to supervise all officials. Such behavior will arouse the fear of all officials. In the future, no one will dare to speak out, which will bring trouble to the government. Furthermore, even if the East Factory is established, eunuchs cannot be allowed to govern. Confucianism and uprightness should be invited
and others are in power."
"Fairness can be guaranteed."
At this moment, Prime Minister Li Shan spoke. He was very serious and hoped that the emperor would take back his order.
This is no joke.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to think twice. Eunuchs are in charge, which is a strange story through the ages."
At this moment, all the officials spoke in unison, and even the generals followed suit.
There is no way. Originally, it was a confrontation between civil and military forces. I would spray you and you would spray me. The enemies on both sides are very clear and their positions are different. It is harmless to spray them back and forth.
But now there is an extra Dongchang to supervise hundreds of officials? The power is even greater than that of the censor.
After all, if the censor wants to impeach a person, he must first collect evidence, then slowly investigate, and then impeach the person after it is confirmed. After impeachment, everyone starts talking, saying that if you win, it will be no big deal, and if you don't win, it will be bad luck.
There is room for maneuver in everything.
But now that eunuchs are put in charge of the East Factory, everyone should stop playing. These eunuchs are obviously following the emperor. In other words, it is the emperor who has the final say on who to investigate and who not to investigate.
He even said that if he offended this group of eunuchs, he might also be unlucky.
Naturally, civil and military forces must unite to resist this matter.
"Think twice?"
"If one of you had told me in advance about the Huns stealing the country's destiny, I would not have done this."
"As for the fear of officials? If you have not done anything wrong, why should you be afraid?"
"Don't make any excuses here, I have decided on this matter."
Emperor Yongsheng was also very direct.
Taking advantage of this incident, the East Factory was directly established.
The concept of Dongchang has long appeared in his mind, but he never knew when to express it.
Because if you speak out, you will definitely be criticized by officials.
But now we can take advantage of this opportunity. This is the emperor's balancing act.
Everything you do is carefully thought out.
If you can say it, you basically have to implement it.
And faced with the dissuasion of hundreds of officials.
Emperor Yongsheng just sneered in his heart.
"I beg your Majesty to think twice, I will never agree to this."
At this moment, Li Shan knelt down. He looked at Emperor Yongsheng with firm eyes, refusing to agree to this matter.
Then Li Shan knelt down.
The other officials also knelt down one after another.
"Your Majesty, please think again."
They are not so strong, but when they kneel down, it means they are on the same camp as Li Shan.
After all, Li Shannai is the leader of hundreds of officials. When he is the prime minister, he has spoken. If everyone does not follow, then they will wait to be defeated one by one.
This is the drawback of imperial power and prime ministerial power.
The emperor is always alone.
Putting aside eunuchs, these days of being a domestic slave do not count.
The officials are a group of people. Although they criticize each other, they are still united when something happens and there is only one thing to resist.
That is imperial power.
"good."
"good."
"good."
Emperor Yongsheng nodded three times.
He didn't say anything more.
Baiguan's attitude is very tough and he will not agree. If he insists on it, he will cause a lot of trouble.
Although it is said that the imperial power is supreme, without the officials, it will have no effect.
As for talking about changing a batch directly, this is completely empty talk. How many things does the country have to do every day? It can't be delayed for a day.
If we directly change a batch, it would be difficult for Daxia not to think of anything wrong.
Moreover, there are countless forces behind the officials who can serve in the court. If they were all dismissed, Great Xia would be completely in chaos.
Finally, Emperor Yongsheng took a deep breath.
He spoke slowly.
"I have thought twice about the Dongchang matter, but I still have to set it up. The right to kill first and report later is taken back, and the power to dispatch is changed to assist the left. The Xuan Deng Department and the Town Government Department will try their best to cooperate with the Dongchang, but the right to investigate is retained."
"Liu Yan, please check carefully for me to find out who is behind the marriage."
Emperor Yongsheng was retreating in order to advance, and what these officials feared most was that they would kill first and then report later, plus the Dongchang would have too much power.
In this case, let's make some changes, take back these powers first, and look at it later.
Just say this.
Li Shan still spoke.
"Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it. Please rest assured. I will give you half a year and I will give you an explanation."
"In matters concerning the East Factory, eunuchs must not be in charge under any circumstances. The East Factory can be set up to supervise hundreds of officials, but it must be controlled by great Confucians. Otherwise, people will be in panic, which will be detrimental to the government and the Great Xia."
Li Shan said expressionlessly.
He still refused.
I just can't agree to this kind of thing, unless I let the Great Confucian take care of it. After all, the Great Confucian will handle the matter from a neutral perspective and will not favor the emperor or them.
These eunuchs were different. They were purely partial to the emperor.
Even worse, they are the emperor's lackeys. It is absolutely impossible for them to take power.
"The great scholar is in charge?"
"How can you be sure that this marriage has nothing to do with Confucianism?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me. If you don't agree, I will retire and return home."
Emperor Yongsheng was quite straightforward.
If you take a step back, but these people still don't give in, then don't play anymore.
However, when this is said.
Li Shan looked firm and slowly took off the official hat on his head.
"Your Majesty is determined to do so. Your Majesty, Li Shan, will resign today."
Li Shan spoke.
For a moment, the lobby was extremely quiet.
Almost suffocating.
The dignified Prime Minister of the Xia Dynasty resigned?
This incident was enough to cause turmoil in the dynasty.
But the next moment, another voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, Hu Yong, is willing to resign and return to his hometown."
It was the voice of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Hu Yong spoke, but his words were better and not as strong as Li Shan's.
Soon, voices sounded one after another.
Almost all the civil servants took off their hats.
The general also gritted his teeth and hesitated, but finally took a deep breath and took off his official hat.
Because if the emperor insists on doing so.
Sooner or later something will happen to them.
Instead of doing this, it is better to take advantage of someone to take the lead and cause trouble together.
