117. Chapter 117 I have suffered so much, all the lords, and your majesty is responsible for the infamy (Wan Geng(2/3)
If the people of the country live and work in peace and contentment, then I can also force myself."
At the end of the sentence, Ying Hongye and Xiafei's cheeks filled with shame.
It's not like she hasn't said anything about the situation.
But it was the first time for her to say such things in private.
And it feels really shameless.
However, after passing this level, Ying Hongye breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Changsheng patted Ying Hongye's shoulder again and praised: "Hongye, you have begun to make progress, I am very pleased!"
Ying Hongye: "..."
I feel like I, like Senior Brother Cao, will turn into Ji Changsheng's shape sooner or later.
But if the result is good, then... it should be okay to change into Ji Changsheng's shape, right?
…
When Ji Changsheng and the three of them were talking about the world in the cell, it was no surprise that the Sheng Dynasty's foreign court had caused an uproar because of His Majesty's decree.
It turns out that the emperor died yesterday, the new monarch ascended the throne, the queen became the queen mother, and she listened to the affairs behind the curtain. Under normal circumstances, it would take many days of quarrels in the outer court to reach the final result.
According to past experience, it is considered quick to end a quarrel within half a month.
But Ji Changsheng did not talk to them about historical experience and only pursued efficiency.
So before the ministers started to quarrel, the new emperor issued an imperial edict to cancel "ru enough".
In an instant, the ministers who were still arguing about the legitimacy of the late emperor's death and the queen mother's behind-the-scenes hearing directly went into a rage.
"How is this possible?"
"This is simply unreasonable."
"Your Majesty, have you been kidnapped? If so, just say something."
His Majesty looked at the loyal ministers below with tears in his eyes.
I was kidnapped.
I also want to talk.
But I can't tell.
Loyal ministers, rebel quickly and rescue me from the clutches of the devil.
Obviously, this loyal minister does not have the courage yet.
Not everyone dares to take action directly like Ji Changsheng.
His Majesty said nothing, and the loyal ministers could only suppress their loyalty in their hearts and continue to argue about the feasibility of canceling "if enough".
The Queen Mother behind the curtain looked coldly at the ministers below and did not stop them.
She just asked Wei Zhongxian in a low voice: "How is Elder Ji doing?"
Wei Zhongxian bowed and reported back: "It should be finished soon. Elder Ji may come to take a look in person later. What Elder Ji means is that if it is enough, it must be cancelled. If the treasury does not have enough spiritual stones, then find a way to go."
Get spiritual stones.”
The Queen Mother nodded and looked back at the ministers who were still arguing below.
"How is the manpower arrangement going?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "Everything has been arranged. As long as you give the order, I can break into the house and ransack the house immediately. Although these ministers, including the princes and nobles, have powerful backgrounds behind them, they do not have the hard power to resist the court's law enforcement. Moreover,
The royal ministers are all on your side, and they cannot resist."
The main reason is that Ji Changsheng conquered all the royal family members yesterday with his charisma.
With the inner court under control and the royal ministers drawing their swords to help, these princes and nobles were naturally unable to resist.
The Queen Mother felt relieved and said calmly: "Unfortunately, it is difficult to directly defeat the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce branch in Shengjing City. When it comes to spiritual stones, it has the most spiritual stones. Defeating the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce branch will be enough to support the entire Sheng Kingdom to complete the blood exchange."
Wei Zhongxian said in a low voice: "Madam, please be patient. With Elder Ji here, there is a chance. I think Elder Ji's intention is to attack the outer areas of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce first. When the outer areas are almost cleared, the next step should be Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."
Although the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has a strong background, Elder Ji is also backed by Xuandu Guan, so there is no need for us to worry."
"You're right."
Ji Changsheng's performance yesterday and his conversation with Li Changxi made everyone present strengthen their understanding that Xuandu is the best in the world.
The gold content is really too rich.
In the past, the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce was a huge mountain that weighed down the imperial court of the Sheng Kingdom. No one could move it, not even the emperor.
But when Ji Changsheng came, Qingtian came.
Obviously, even compared to other mountains, the mountain of Xuandu Temple is higher.
So the Queen and Wei Zhongxian began to sharpen their knives.
The ministers below, who didn't know that they had become "pigs and sheep", were still having a heated discussion.
Mainly passionate opposition:
"Your Majesty, running a big country is like cooking small dishes. Don't do it too hastily."
"Your Majesty, canceling 'ru enough' will definitely cause great chaos."
"The purpose of 'ru enough' is to protect those who buy blessed land. Now your majesty wants to cancel 'ru enough'. This is a big mistake."
"It is precisely because of the existence of 'Ru Go' that we can increase the aura concentration and public space of the blessed land, so that all people staying in the blessed land can get greater convenience. Your Majesty's cancellation of 'Ru Go' will harm the country and the people, and I cannot agree with it."
Your Majesty wanted to nod in agreement.
He fully agreed with the views of these loyal ministers.
However, his body is stiff now and he can't do anything. He can only express his thoughts with his eyes, hoping that these loyal ministers will realize that he stands with them.
It's a pity that the loyal ministers didn't realize it.
And the Queen Mother stood up.
"My lords, if you cancel the word 'ru enough', wouldn't it benefit the people?"
"Of course not."
The Prime Minister stood up and was the first to criticize the Queen Mother.
And he slaps a hat on him when he comes up.
"The ancestral teachings of the Sheng Kingdom are that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Queen Mother, although you have a noble status, you are still a female. You don't understand national affairs at all, and you are not qualified to discuss these."
The Queen Mother did not get angry, but said calmly: "Your Majesty asked me to listen to politics behind the curtain, but the Prime Minister refused. The Prime Minister is so majestic, even more powerful than Your Majesty."
Prime Minister: "This... Your Majesty, please say something."
Your Majesty almost cried.
I really want to say something.
These demon cult monsters didn't give me a chance at all.
"Prime Minister, don't embarrass Your Majesty. Your Majesty is not in good health. If you have any thoughts, just tell me."
If the new king doesn't say anything, the prime minister has no choice but to do it himself.
"Your Majesty, you don't know something. The act of 'ru enough' will benefit the country and the people. If nothing else, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue must know how much revenue the national treasury has increased because of 'ru enough'."
The Minister of Revenue came out and nodded: "That's true."
The Prime Minister continued: "With more revenue in the treasury, we can better improve the lives of the people. Now that your Majesty wants to cancel the 'ru enough', isn't it harming the interests of the people all over the world?"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "'Rou Enough' doesn't just bring more revenue to the treasury, it seems that those merchants of blessed land, princes, nobles and even the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce get even more."
The Prime Minister said calmly: "It is true, but precisely because of this, 'just enough' can benefit the country and the people, and allow everyone to make progress together. Queen Mother, your vision is too short-sighted. In the past, our prosperous country was too poor, so extraordinary means were needed in extraordinary times."
.Furthermore, Emperor Gaozu himself said that the cake must be made bigger first before the common people can eat the cake too. If the word 'such as enough' is cancelled, it will violate the ancestral precepts and should be punished according to the law!"
As soon as Ji Changsheng entered the main hall, he heard the prime minister's theory.
There is cake in this world. After all, Yingguo can use technology to conquer the Immortal Sect. Ji Changsheng is not surprised that this guy can talk about cake.
Ji Changsheng was also not surprised by his shamelessness.
Saw a lot.
He just hid his traces without being discovered by anyone, and came to the side of the Queen Mother to see what the quarrel in the outer court was like.
The situation was almost as he expected.
"Your Majesty, if you want to forcibly cancel the 'ru enough', the people of the world will not agree, the princes in the court will not agree, and the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce will not agree. You have just ascended the throne, why should you be an enemy of the people of the world?"
"The most important thing is that the treasury is empty. Your Majesty, the court really has no money."
The Minister of Hubu stood up and began to cry out: "Your Majesty, your heart may be good, but things are done too hastily. The national treasury is already empty, even if all the spiritual stones are used in this regard, it will not be enough, let alone the prosperity of the country.
There are still many places where spirit stones need to be used. For the sake of the common people in the world, you can’t do whatever you want. If you insist on doing this, you will definitely be reviled by the people of the world, and even be completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and become the subject of criticism by everyone.
The unjust and foolish king!"
