Chapter 531 The emperor punished himself, and the whole dynasty was shocked!
If what the emperor said comes true, it will definitely help the country and its people.
The courtiers can already imagine the prosperous and prosperous times when people from all over the world communicate with each other.
None of the ministers who were able to ascend to the court were idiots, and they immediately understood the significance of this matter.
Zhu Shilang's heart skipped a beat, secret decree? So Chu Wenjin was acting in accordance with the decree, but was impeached by him?
Zhu Shilang lowered his body in a cold sweat and did not dare to speak any more.
Jun Lingyun looked at Chu Wenjin.
"Chu Shangshu, please come and report your achievements during this period to your lords."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chu Wenjin stepped forward with a clear voice:
"I am fortunate to be favored by the emperor, and I was ordered to incorporate banks. Today, more than 500 banks have been established in various parts of the Yunxiao Kingdom.
In the Nanyan Kingdom and the Dongyi Kingdom, more than fifty banks were established in each country.
And both countries have agreed to unify their currency with our Yunxiao country, enhance trade, and exchange what they need."
Listening to Chu Wenjin's impressive political achievements, the courtiers had goosebumps all over their bodies.
Chu Wenjin has only been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for a few months. The previous Minister of the Ministry of Revenue had been sitting in that position for many years and could not achieve this.
"In my opinion, everyone in the Chu family has reached their current position based on their own abilities. You are dissatisfied with me for using the Chu family in a more important way, just because they are relatives."
Jun Lingyun's words revealed the thoughts of the courtiers.
"Your Majesty, ministers, etc., this is also for your future great cause. The Xiao family must learn from the past and take precautions."
What the Minister of Punishment said was really for the sake of the emperor. If it were anyone else, he might really have a grudge.
But the person on the dragon chair was not someone else, but Jun Lingyun.
"The Chu family is not the Xiao family, and I am not the Supreme Emperor.
As soon as he said these words, the entire court fell into silence.
How many emperors dare to compare themselves with the Supreme Emperor? There is probably only one Jun Lingyun.
General Chu had already brought his sons forward and knelt down.
"The Chu family is willing to swear allegiance to the emperor to the death. If there is any disobedience, the sky will strike with thunder and the descendants will be cut off!"
General Chu's oath can be described as vicious. They are working hard outside, who is not doing it to benefit future generations?
If we cut off our descendants, what is there to fight for? People have already sworn this, and if they still say that they have evil intentions, then that is really Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone on the road will know it.
The courtiers lowered their heads again.
"I appoint talents as virtuous, and will not randomly place officials in positions to cause trouble for the government because the Chu family has the same surname as the queen. Nor will I blindly suppress and persecute the Chu family because they have the same surname as the queen, so that their ambitions will not be rewarded and their service to the country will be in vain.
Door."
Jun Lingyun looked down at the top of Zhu Shilang's head:
"Shilang Zhu doesn't want to make progress. He impeached him beyond his rank and slandered his superior. He will be demoted to three levels and punished with twenty sticks!"
Zhu Shilang was so frightened that his legs went weak.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. It's because you allowed the impeachment that I had the courage to report."
"I allow impeachment but not frame-up. Pull it down!"
Jun Lingyun's voice made the ministers feel like they were falling into an ice cave, and the coats they were wearing seemed to have lost their effect.
They had knelt until their knees were numb, almost forgetting the purpose of kneeling down in the first place.
"Ah! Ah! Ah..."
Outside the main hall, Master Zhu's miserable cry of pain seemed to be hurting the buttocks of every kneeling minister.
Along with this voice, Jun Lingyun said again:
"I went to General Chu to celebrate New Year's Eve because I was lazy. I have been enlightened since I was three years old and went to court at the age of five. I have never been slack for a day. I also want to experience what ordinary people live like."
The court officials thought that the Chu family's matter would be over in this way, but they did not expect that Jun Lingyun would take the initiative to explain to them.
Hearing what he said again, I was a little moved.
Speaking of which, Jun Lingyun was established as the crown prince from birth. He was trained by the Supreme Emperor in strict accordance with the requirements of the crown prince since he was a child.
At the age of twelve, he went to the battlefield to fight and gained the reputation of a God of War, which made other countries fearful and stabilized the status of Yunxiao Kingdom.
After ascending the throne as emperor, he worked non-stop to conquer Xizhao and revitalize people's livelihood.
If he wants to be free for a day, it's really not an exaggeration.
Jun Lingyun glanced at the reactions of the courtiers and announced:
"As an emperor, I did not strictly discipline myself, which caused misunderstandings among the courtiers and made the Chu family the target of public criticism. I punished myself by worshiping the Buddha for four months. During these four months, I refrained from sex with women, in order to rectify myself."
Hearing this, the whole court was shocked. The ministers all knelt down tremblingly and shouted to apologize.
"Your Majesty! I am guilty! Please punish me!"
They forced the emperor to punish himself. Isn't that a sin?
But, why not three months, not half a year, but four months?
Before the ministers could figure it out, Jun Lingyun had already given the order.
"Come here and post the edict on my sins in the imperial city."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The courtiers lay down low, the emperor was serious about it.
Prime Minister Cao shouted in a tearful tone:
"Your Majesty, these ministers do not know how to sympathize with the Sacred Heart and do not understand the Emperor's suffering. They only think that the Emperor wants to abandon the ministers and make the Emperor embarrassed."
Jun Lingyun was satisfied with Prime Minister Cao's awareness of current affairs.
"All my dear friends, please be free. You are all ministers of the Yunxiao Kingdom, and I treat them equally. The matter of the Chu family is over here. If anyone brings up the old matters again in the future, I will punish you without mercy!
"
With a slap in the face and Ke Tianzao, Jun Lingyun has taken control of people's hearts.
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
It was not until the courtiers stood up slowly that they recovered from their feelings of emotion and self-blame.
Why did they change from asking the emperor to beg for mercy today? It seems that they have been involved again.
However, the relationship between the emperor and his ministers has just been eased. The emperor's plan to recognize Bai Xiao as his adoptive brother should have been shelved, right?
Unexpectedly, Jun Lingyun's next sentence had already brought the topic back to the subject:
"The reason why I want to recognize Bai Xiao as my adoptive brother is actually to make a temporary truce with the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. This will allow our Yunxiao Kingdom to have time to recuperate and wait for the new batch of food to mature."
At this moment, the ministers are like students who cannot understand the meaning of the gentleman's question, with question marks written all over their faces.
The emperor recognizes a guard as his adoptive brother and eases the relationship between the two countries. No matter how you look at these two things, it is something that cannot be achieved at all.
"I am so stupid, please let the emperor speak clearly."
Prime Minister Cao had no choice but to ask questions. Jun Zifeng was not here, so he became the person with the highest official position in the court.
In his position, he pursues his own affairs. There are some things that cannot be avoided.
Jun Lingyun did not embarrass Prime Minister Cao.
"Bai Xiao was brought back by me from the China tribe of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom back then. His true identity is the second prince of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom! But he was abandoned by the Northern Barbarian royal family."
Seeing Man Chao's mouth that could hold duck eggs, Jun Lingyun explained again:
"I recognize Bai Xiao, the second prince of the Northern Barbarians, as my adopted brother. In the future, whenever I want to join the Northern Barbarians, I have sufficient reasons."
The courtiers had not yet woken up from Bai Xiao's status as the prince of the Northern Barbarians, but they also heard from Jun Lingyun that he wanted to join the Northern Barbarians.
So, the emperor has made up his mind to destroy the Northern Barbarians?
