Chapter 423: The Nation and the People
Two days later, Qi Tian announced to the world that he was officially enthroned, and his year name was changed to Tianyuan Year, and even the country name was changed, and Hou Qi was changed to Da Qi.

Although Qi Tian's ascension to the throne is not what everyone expects, it is also the result that those officials without party affiliation and those who really care about the country and the people are most willing to see the result.

It's just because Qi Tian's ability and resourcefulness are the most outstanding among these princes, not to mention, the Iron Armored Crying Blood Army in his hands makes the people of the world fear and fear him.

With such a monarch, they can also see the hope of the country's prosperity and strength again.

When Qi Tian ascended the throne, he didn't hold any grand enthronement ceremonies at all, and all the etiquette was abolished. He said that he was the emperor, and he wanted to sit on that dragon chair. Who dared to say no.

If someone really objected, it was very simple, killing him with one knife.

As for the form of etiquette, at this juncture, it is not important at all, and Qi Tian has no such thoughts.

As soon as he took the throne, Qi Tian promulgated many decrees and regulations.

Among them, the most important one, and the one that benefits the people the most, is tax reduction and exemption.

From the date of his accession to the throne, the tax will be reduced or exempted for one year, so that the people can recuperate.In the second year, when the tax is levied again, only [-]% of the tax is levied, which is more than half of the direct reduction compared with the previous [-]% tax.

After the announcement of this decree, all the people were grateful and instantly won the hearts of many people.

In order to ensure the implementation of this policy, Qi Tian sent his own armored army to supervise in every province, and all local officials who violated the law, regardless of grade or background, would be beheaded for public display!
And the second thing Qi Tian did was to gather military power, take back all the military power that had been dispersed in the hands of several other generals, and obey his orders uniformly.

Anyone who disobeys is still a word, kill!

In his eyes, there are no big families, no founding heroes, generation after generation of meritorious officials, and they don't pay attention to any kindness. Anyone who is not good for the political situation, and anyone who is a monster, will be killed and killed. All used for military and civilian construction!
In the few days after Qi Tian ascended the throne, every day, the imperial city was full of blood and blood, blood washed the ground, and the cries shook the sky, causing everyone to be in panic all day long.

No matter what era, all power comes from the force of force. You have military strength, you have an army, you can suppress everyone, no matter whether they are convinced or not, if you scare them and kill them, you are the boss!

Qi Tian used his iron blood and brutality to impose all kinds of thunderous means, but in just a few days, the political situation was temporarily stabilized.

Qi Tian has been busy with government affairs, and he has not had time to deal with the women and concubines of Emperor Huikang in the harem.

Xia Liang, who was hidden by him in the Jiaofang Palace and closely guarded, was originally the object of criticism in the harem, but now because of Qi Tian's love for her, he has become everyone's focus.

During Emperor Huikang's reign, the beauty he received, the newly promoted Empress Xiao Liang, should have belonged to the Empress Dowager in terms of seniority and ethics, that is, Qi Tian's mother empress, but now she has become Qi Tian's forbidden son.

Just because of this, Xia Liang's existence cannot be ignored, and the rumors about her are becoming more and more crazy in private.

Rumors say: She is worthy of being a witch who can charm the king, but even a decisive "tyrant" like Qi Tian cannot escape from her palm, and she is imprisoned by her side in disregard of etiquette.

These rumors became more and more fierce, and those officials who valued etiquette naturally couldn't ignore them, so they wrote a letter to Qi Tian collectively, advising him to kill this woman, so as to comfort the hearts of the people in the world and stop everyone's mouths.

"What did you say?!" Sitting on the dragon chair, Qi Tian squinted his eyes and said in a very dangerous tone when he saw the blushing and upright Minister of the Ministry of Rites speaking below.

"Your Majesty, the ministers believe that the daughter of the Xia family is a disaster by means of seduction. She should follow the people's will, and she should be burned to death. Please think twice, Your Majesty, you must not indulge in female sex and misuse state affairs. "

Li Yijing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, spoke impassionedly, without even realizing that Qi Tian was on the verge of fury at this time.

"To be burned alive, right?" Qi Tian stood up from the dragon chair, with a gloomy face, and slowly walked in front of Li Yijing, gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Li Yijing glanced at Qi Tian, ​​and was immediately terrified by the murderous intent and fierceness in his eyes, fell to his knees with a plop, trembling, and said again,
"Yes... yes... yes. Your Majesty, this... this is not the opinion of one person, but the wish of everyone. Please think again, Your Majesty!"

This Li Yijing was quite courageous, even in the face of such a dangerous and powerful Qi Tian, ​​he could say it through gritted teeth.

However, for the sake of courage, he still dragged the others into the water.

After all, in his view, the law does not blame the public, as long as everyone stands up, due to the situation, even if His Majesty does not follow their advice, he will not do anything to him.

At most, it was just a little scolding and punishment.

"Oh? Really?" With his hands behind his back, Qi Tian glanced sharply at the officials with his deep and icy eyes.
"Who else thinks so, stand up for me."

As soon as he gave the order, the people in the hall were silent, all lowered their heads, and for a while, no one dared to stand up.

At this time, Qi Tian was full of evil spirits, with a gloomy face, frighteningly cold, and it was really frightening. Anyone with a bit of vision and a bit of brain would not stand up at this time.

Seeing this, Li Yijing cursed secretly in his heart. His body, which was quite calm before, couldn't help but start to tremble. He gritted his teeth, turned his head, and Li Yijing said threateningly,
"Master Zhang, you brought up this matter? Have you changed your mind now?!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang knew that he couldn't escape, so he knelt down with a plop, not daring to look at Qi Tian, ​​and said,
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others proposed this for the sake of the country. Now that there are internal and external troubles, it is really inappropriate to add turmoil. There is such a troublesome witch who is ashamed by the people. It is really a potential danger. In order to win the hearts of the people, Your Majesty should Consider the proposals of the ministers."

After hearing this, Qi Tian pursed his lips lightly, his eyes darkened a bit, looked at the crowd, and continued to ask, "Is there anyone else?"

Seeing that Qi Tian didn't seem to be particularly angry, the other people grew a little bit more courageous, and several ministers stepped forward, saying righteously how unwise and unreasonable it is to favor a witch .

The anger in Qi Tian's heart had already broken through the sky, but it didn't show at all on his face, but the bloody aura emanating from his body became more and more frightening.
