Chapter 236 The First Day of Being Emperor
Chapter 236 The first day as emperor
Author: Yue Tu Yue Tu
Although the enthronement ceremony could not be held immediately, Prince Ning was already the new emperor, and from this day on, the reign title was also changed to Yuande.
Today is the first day of Yuande’s first year.
The first thing the new emperor Qin Xiao did when he ascended the throne was not to hold a funeral for the dead emperor, but to convene a meeting with his close ministers to inform them of a major decision.
"Bei Yan is watching with eager eyes and will raise troops to attack at any time. I can't stay in the capital. I will return to the border tomorrow." Qin Xiao got straight to the point and told the result.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it! You are the emperor now, how can you still go to guard the border in person? If you are injured on the battlefield, we and the people of Li will not be able to bear it. By then the country will really be destroyed.
!”
Yang Shoufu was the first to object, speaking at the top of his lungs.
After saying that, Yang Shoufu, who was very old, immediately knelt down and begged Qin Xiao to change his mind.
Other officials also knelt on the ground with a roar, begging the emperor to take back his order.
"My dear, please get up." Qin Xiao politely helped Yang Shoufu up, and at the same time looked at the others, asking them to get up too.
Qin Xiao did not insist on going his own way, nor was he angry that he was being restrained. Instead, he patiently explained why he had to go at this time.
"The Beiyan army is indeed stronger than ours, especially in recent years, their national strength and military strength have increased.
Looking back at us, the Daxing emperor is ignorant and immoral, officials are corrupt and inactive, powerful families occupy the fields and exploit the people. Moreover, heavy taxes and constant natural disasters have led to an increasing number of refugees and serious banditry.
People in many places will no longer be able to survive.
The people have no fields to farm, or they have fields but no means to farm. The country cannot collect much tax, and the national treasury is very empty.
To put it bluntly, if this continues, there will be no need for Beiyan to fight, but the refugees and rebellious people will be enough to bring down the imperial court!
When I sit in this position, I don’t want to be the king of subjugation!
Do you want to be the ministers of the subjugation of the country and leave you with eternal infamy?!"
After Qin Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the close ministers in front of him.
Yang Shoufu and others shook their heads subconsciously.
Of course they don't want to.
"I have been fighting with Beiyan for more than ten years, and I know them well. If I go, I can win at the minimum cost, and I can also defeat them so hard that they will not dare to come back for three to five years!
If you want to do this, no other general can do it except me!
In these three to five years, we can recuperate, open up wasteland for farming, reduce taxes, and once again allow the people to farm with peace of mind, have enough to eat, and no longer have to be refugees. Only in this way can we solve the banditry problem and stabilize the country.
If everything goes well, I can come back in three months at most. During these few months, I will rely on all my dear friends to help me stabilize the capital and help me deal with matters in other states.
I trust all my dear friends and want to work hard with you to create a beautiful country together. I wonder if all my dear ladies are willing to listen to what I say, trust me and help me?"
"I'm scared! Your Majesty, please don't say that. You really want to upset us. It's your duty to share your worries for Your Majesty!"
Yang Shoufu knelt down again, this time with tears in his eyes, he was so moved.
Such a wise king, he is willing to die in service!
"I will definitely work hard to protect the capital and the rear for Your Majesty, so that you won't worry!"
The other ministers also knelt down with red eyes, their hearts filled with passion, and they just wanted to be wiped out and loyal to the wise king in front of them.
Everything the emperor said is right!
The emperor is extremely capable!
The Emperor is the God of War, and leading troops in battles is his specialty. He can only beat Beiyan to the point of pissing him off, but nothing will happen to him!
When the emperor goes to fight, these ministers will help him guard the rear!
Their monarchs and ministers are united, why should they fear Northern Yan or Southern Chu? They will definitely be able to swallow them up and dominate the world in the future!
The ministers looked up at the overly handsome king in front of them, without the slightest contempt or hesitation, only with full respect and trust!
At this moment, they all turned into Qin Xiao's crazy fans.
The only thing in my mind is that my emperor is awesome, ah ah, I am willing to die for the emperor.
"All my dear friends, please rise." Qin Xiao said cheerfully,
"That's it for me to go on an expedition. There is one more thing. I want to seal the country in advance.
After I leave, the Queen will supervise the country for me. All matters shall be subject to the Queen's opinion. You may make suggestions, but if the Queen insists, listen to the Queen. This is an imperial edict and cannot be violated!
The eldest prince and Prince An can be allowed to participate in the government affairs, and the specific arrangements will be left to the Queen."
Yang Shoufu, "????"
Ministers, "!!!!"
The hot blood suddenly cooled down by half!
What the hell?
After closure?
Well, they can accept this. The emperor is not young anymore and it is time for him to get married. If he likes a woman, he can make her queen.
Nothing wrong!
But, the queen supervises the country?!
How is this possible!
The queen is a woman. Does she understand what government is?
He also listens to the Queen in everything, and the Queen takes the lead in everything, and whatever the Queen says is right.
How could such words come from the mouth of their wise and mighty Emperor!
This is exactly the mantra of Hunjun.
Oh, by the way, who is the queen?!!
"May I ask, Your Majesty, whose noble daughter the Queen is?" Yang Shoufu swallowed his dissatisfaction and asked.
"You are all familiar with her. She not only saved my life, but also personally wrote the God of War to help me rehabilitate myself.
She has more than half of the credit for how easily I suppressed the rebellion of the Fourth Prince and others.
If she hadn't been a woman, I would have wanted to make this dragon chair for her, and I would be willing to be her minister."
Qin Xiao said with a smile, his eyes were soft, and his words of praise were freely spoken.
Yang Shoufu and others felt numb all over.
Ouch, they are showing off their affection!
However, as the queen, Gu Xi is worthy of their resourceful Emperor.
Now the whole world knows that Gu Xi is Mr. Wutong, and her reputation among students is very high.
Moreover, everyone also knows that she is a direct descendant of Qibao Pavilion, and has good friends with Yaowang Valley and the First Floor. Her status is very noble, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most noble woman in the world.
Anyway, they don't know any other woman who can be protected by so many super sects.
Although Gu Xi is capable, his status can hold him back.
but!!!
Letting a woman supervise the country and asking them to listen to her is really unacceptable.
"You don't trust my judgment?"
Qin Xiao looked at the many ministers with tangled expressions who wanted to object but didn't dare.
The ministers shook their heads.
"Believe me, the queen will bring you a huge surprise. I believe she will not be wrong!" Qin Xiao said with a smile.
Yang Shoufu and others...
No matter how many times I calculated, I never expected that the emperor was actually a maniac who doted on his wife.
How can this be done?!
"Don't spread the word about letting the queen supervise the country. I haven't asked for her consent yet. Alas, it's not easy to get her nod."
Yang Shoufu and others...
Chapter completed!
