Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1072

[Chapter 1063 Play hard to get]

“Huh, these people are too self-righteous. Now the people of the empire only believe in the emperor. How can they limit the imperial power? Are they allowed to let these fat-hearted nobles who oppress the people control the power of the empire? It’s just a dream, Dad, do you think this is a problem?” Don’t worry, these rumors won’t make any big waves. Now the students in the academy are very wary of these deceptive words. If they want to harm the emperor, we won’t agree!”

Rhee said loudly.

“You are so right, Dalang. It seems that you have not read in vain in the past few years. When you see this matter, it will be very clear. Our emperor is a good emperor. How has the empire come over these years? In the hearts of the people There is a scale, for us, as long as the emperor allows us to live a good life, who is too full to restrict the imperial power? “Li Laosi said.

“Hey, there really is such a group of well-fed people. In fact, the final analysis of this matter is that the emperor’s decree made some nobles dissatisfied. This is why they came up with some idea of restricting the imperial power. Their purpose is just They want to continue to dominate us.”

“Bah! They thought so well. They thought that the wealthy people in the six states also wanted to restrict the emperor’s power and let him act as their puppet. But what happened? It’s all slaughtered. Let’s see, if things get serious this time, the result will be the same.” Li Laosi slammed the table hard.

Syngman Rhee shudders when talking about what happened more than ten years ago. He was still young at that time, but he still remembers the terrifying atmosphere at that time very clearly.

“It stands to reason that our emperor is not an indecisive person. This time there are such rumors among the people but there is no movement in the court. It is very strange.” Rhee Chengwan was a little puzzled.

“Is there anything strange about this? When the emperor eradicated the wealthy families in the six states, it was not just a moment of enthusiasm. It was carefully planned at that time. In my opinion, the emperor must have recorded these restless people in his notebook. Don’t watch them jump now. Dehuan, I’m afraid I’ll have to dig through the notebook in the future.” Li Laosi laughed.

Syngman Rhee nodded lightly. He was born in a poor family. He was well aware of the people’s reverence for the emperor, and the policies that the emperor had successively introduced to benefit the people could reflect the emperor’s political philosophy.

In his view, the emperor wanted to build an empire with the people as its foundation, rather than relying on the previous system of the emperor controlling the scholar-bureaucrats, the scholar-bureaucrats controlling the princes, the officials controlling a hundred officials, and the hundreds of officials controlling the people.

From the political concepts he had learned over the years, he concluded that the emperor planned to select officials directly from the people, and then let these officials who came from the people’s families govern the people. At the same time, the people had the right to govern the country by impeaching officials through meetings.

Now that the first step of this matter has begun, I am afraid that the next step will be to the second step. However, in his opinion, the prerequisite for implementing this policy is to cancel the privileges of the nobles and make them lose the right to inherit the official position, and the emperor is The rectification of the nobles at this time was not accidental, but they just had a reason and followed the trend.

“Dad, if you say that, I don’t want to go to Australia. It’s better to stay here in Qingzhou and watch the show. Maybe when these old nobles are uprooted, the empire will come out with subversive decrees.” Rhee said with a smile. .

A smile appeared on Li Laosi’s face. He still hoped that his son could enter the officialdom. He smiled and said: “This is the best.”

When Li Laosi’s family was enthusiastic about supporting the imperial power because of the empire’s welfare policy, Welfare policies made waves everywhere in the empire where newspapers could reach.

The feedback information quickly reached Xiao Ming’s study room.

“Your Majesty, as this welfare policy continues to be conveyed, the support of the emperor by the people of the empire has reached a new level. According to reports from the officials below, many people now hang portraits of the emperor in their homes and pay homage to his sculptures. Worship, this admiration is not inferior to that of the red-faced Guan Gong and Sanqing Baoxiang,”

Pang Yukun said with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since the welfare policy was communicated, and the feedback in this regard has been very good.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming smiled. He was not prepared to stop the people’s spontaneous behavior. Firstly, it was not necessary. Secondly, the people’s personal worship of him was also conducive to strengthening the rule of the imperial power and allowing the people of the empire to do whatever they wanted. His orders can be completed with quality and quantity, which is very important for an empire that is still in its early stages of development.

Secondly, this can also be an important bargaining chip when he finally fights with the old nobles.

Welfare policies have spread rapidly in the past month, but discussions about limiting imperial power also show signs of becoming increasingly heated.

In response to this situation, Pang Yukun demanded that the person who was causing the obstruction be arrested immediately, but after hesitation, he gave up this plan.

Because of the comprehensive intelligence, he found that this action to restrict the imperial power seemed not that simple, but was organized and premeditated.

In order to eradicate this wave of people, he must endure it temporarily and play hard to get. After those people with evil intentions take the bait, he will give a thunderous blow.

Otherwise, alerting others will only make these people hide deeper, which is not conducive to long-term peace and stability.

Thinking of this, he asked: “The aspirations of the people are naturally worthy of celebration, but what about those people who are eating my food and preparing to smash my pot?”

“I asked the plainclothes guards to keep an eye on them. , According to the emperor’s wishes, the subordinates did not alert them, but have been collecting evidence. As long as the emperor gives the order, these traitors and traitors can be arrested immediately. “

Pang Yukun’s expression became serious when he mentioned this matter.

After a pause, he continued: “But based on Xiaguan’s investigation during this period, I got an interesting thing.”

“Oh? Tell me.” Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun’s eyes became sharp, “Most of the people involved in this matter are people who are dissatisfied with the empire, and a large part of them are the old people of the former wealthy families. These people hate the emperor the most. They did not dare to say it before, but now they see that the emperor has committed public outrage. He became restless.”

Xiao Ming laughed when he heard this. He was not surprised by this. The class that was eliminated often hated the people who destroyed them the most.

There is no doubt that Xiao Ming is this person.

“Back then, I compromised with the wealthy clan in order to unify the country as soon as possible. The legacy of this incident still cannot be dissipated after all. In this case, don’t blame me for being ruthless. If you continue to keep an eye on this matter, Li San will also help you. This time simply Let them vent their anger to see how far they can go, and at the same time let the people see their true face,” Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun’s eyes became sharp, and he said: “Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter smoothly.”
