Please, let me be a fool

The country's finances began to run dry.

Even if the gentry were prevented from shaking the court, so what?

As for whether the reform should continue, Wei Yunyi didn't want to think about it for the time being.

But there is one thing, the pace of spreading the whole country to the next step must be slowed down.

Otherwise, God knows what will happen.

He is very clear.

Once this reform is successful in Great Wei, the fortune of the country is bound to rise.

Even if there are those two major projects that are continuously consuming national power, but with one positive and one negative, who knows if they will be offset?

But he hasn't thought about how to do it specifically. In short, let's wait for the system to settle this time.

Of course, in Wei Yunyi's mind, there was another question.

That is.

How did the father-in-law collect the criminal evidence that the gentry colluded with the Baiyimen?

Whether it is the gentry or the Baiyimen, they are not simple forces, and Song Gongwen has always been in the capital during this period of time, and has never gone out.

How can such a secret matter be found out?

Even if the old man has super abilities, it is impossible to do this, right?It's outrageous.

There is also Tai Fu Zhang Zhengming, this famous official, it seems that in recent times, every decision has more or less problems.

As long as I do it the other way around, in the end, I will succeed and increase the luck of the country.

Various questions lingered in Wei Yunyi's mind.

Let him have no idea what's going on.

But the only certainty is that.

some of.

There must be something wrong.

at the same time.

In the Jingde Palace, Zhao Lingying took the memorial presented by Song Gongwen and prepared to review it, but she never wrote it.

"Your Majesty?" Cui Guo walked over from the side, with a little doubt on his face, he said, "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"

She also heard the previous conversation, knowing that His Majesty told her mother.

You can't take the lives of those gentry.

and so.

When the empress is reviewing this memorial, she can just write down His Majesty's intentions, why are you still so hesitant...

"It's okay." Zhao Lingying shook her head when she heard the words, and said immediately: "I was thinking, what is your Majesty's reason for not killing those who committed serious crimes?"

"At first, I thought it was His Majesty's benevolence. Even if the gentry committed a serious crime that amounted to treason, they didn't want their lives."

"But now that I think about it carefully, I realize it's not that simple."

"I always feel that His Majesty must have a deeper purpose."

A deeper purpose?

As soon as this word comes out.

Cui Guo was also lost in thought, obviously thinking about what her mother said.

But no matter what, she couldn't figure out why.

As a saying goes.

Your heart is unpredictable.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Cui Guo immediately said: "This... Your Majesty, are you thinking too much? It is possible that His Majesty is really kind and unwilling to kill people?"

She thinks that the empress is thinking too much, maybe His Majesty really meant it on the surface?

But obviously, Zhao Lingying didn't think so.

For Cuiguo.

Completely fell on deaf ears.

In the end, Zhao Lingying's expression suddenly changed slightly, and she couldn't help but said: "I understand what Your Majesty means."

"Although the gentry colluded with the Baiyimen and committed a capital crime, there are many people involved now, especially during this period of time, there are many court officials who continue to speak for the gentry and oppose the sharing of their families."

"If you use your iron-blooded wrist at this time, it is likely to cause a series of chain reactions."

"Especially what will those officials who support the gentry think?"

"It must be a constant panic."

Speaking of this, her eyes became brighter, and she continued immediately: "And your Majesty's intention is to stabilize the court, so we must keep our hands on those gentry."

"Let them go, don't want these people's lives, just give those officials a chance."

At this moment, what Zhao Lingying was thinking was also very simple.

I think it's easy to kill someone.

But governing the country, especially stabilizing the forces of all parties, does not simply rely on killing.

It is also necessary to balance the forces of all parties, especially the gentry, which is the top priority.

Killing them may guarantee temporary stability.

But if you choose not to kill.

It was a sword hanging over the heads of those gentry and officials. As for when it was cut off, it was entirely a matter of His Majesty's words.

In this way, all the initiative is in the hands of His Majesty.

Again.

checks and balances!

"Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty, take one step and see three steps." A smile appeared on Zhao Lingying's face.

In my heart, I am more and more admiring of my majesty's imperial mind.

But her reaction made Cuiguo next to her feel overwhelmed for a moment, and she couldn't help saying: "But didn't your majesty explain that you want to teach the nobles a lesson? Then what is this lesson?"

That's right.

One more lesson...

After Zhao Lingying heard the words, she thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "This is more understandable. Your Majesty's implication is that if there is no blood, then the property of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River should be searched and given an unforgettable lesson for all living beings."

"You have to know that the imperial court is currently carrying out two major projects: opening the canal and cultivating Wei Zhidao."

"And these two projects require money. Where does the money come from? It is in the hands of the gentry."

"The most important thing for these people is money. If all their property is confiscated to fill the treasury and help the implementation of the two national policies, it will not only teach the gentry a lesson, but also benefit the country!"

In the Great Wei, the richest group of people was undoubtedly the Jiangnan gentry.

It is a lot of money to check their property.

I'm afraid it's two projects.

In the next few years, you can stop worrying about money.

"Yes...Is that so?" Cui Guo was a little confused, her eyes were full of confusion, because she didn't know how her mother thought of this.

Obviously His Majesty just said, don't kill the gentry, just teach a lesson.

It didn't mention the court situation and those two projects at all...

But after the first few things.

She didn't dare to say anything more.

Because in my heart, I also agree with what my mother-in-law said.

After all, Cui Guo saw with her own eyes that since His Majesty ascended the throne, the imperial court seemed to be getting better and better.

As for Zhao Lingying, she picked up her pen at this time and began to approve Song Gongwen's memorial.

The above content is also very brief.

That is, tell Song Gongwen how to deal with those gentry.

As for more, she didn't say anything, because it was related to the stability of the court.

Wei Yunyi was not clear about this. ..

After he came out of Jingde Palace, he went straight to the bedroom.

The time for system settlement is night, so I want to take advantage of this time to see if I can improve my cultivation.

Of course, during this period, Wei Yunyi also heard the news that Song Hongzhi, Xiaoguo's uncle, had entered the palace and wanted to meet the queen before he was appointed as the guardian of Gaoyang.

If it was before, he would definitely go and have a look, after all, he still likes this brother-in-law quite a lot.

But now...

The battle of Gaoyang Kingdom almost dealt him a fatal blow.

Wei Yunyi was afraid of seeing the other party, so he couldn't help but get angry, so he didn't go.

Anyway, my brother-in-law will also enter the palace to pay his respects before leaving, so it's okay if we don't see each other.

So he stayed in the dormitory all the time, while practicing the Dragon Transformation Art of the Son of Heaven, waiting for the system settlement time to arrive.

At the same time, in Kunshou Palace.

Queen Song Youwei prepared another large table of dishes.

I haven't seen my brother for a while, so I'm naturally thinking about him.

After all, my brother.

As for Song Hongzhi, after seeing the dishes made by his sister, he couldn't help it immediately, and ate it up.

Although he returned to the capital in the past few days, he ate the meals of his mother and several big restaurants, so he made up for himself.

But compared to my sister, those people's cooking skills are still much worse.

However, although Song Hongzhi went out for a trip.

But it hasn't matured much either.

While eating, he also talked about his feats in the battle of Gaoyang, and his youthful nature was undoubtedly revealed.

yard.

Song Youwei looked at her younger brother's hungry tiger, she didn't blame him, only a faint smile.

At the beginning, when she heard that the other party was going to Gaoyang, she was very worried.Because that is not fighting in the streets, but fighting, and life is in danger at all times.

Even if he knows that his younger brother has martial arts knowledge, but in the rush of thousands of troops, what can he do if he has cultivation?

So during that time, Song Youwei was always worried.

So much so that she didn't even know she was pregnant.

Fortunately.

Not long after, I heard the news that my brother had won a big victory.

Although I was shocked and unbelievable, but more, I was relieved.

In her eyes, as long as her brother is fine.

It didn't take long.

Song Hongzhi swept away all the food on the table.

Thanks to his practice of martial arts, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to eat so much.

Of course, after eating these, Song Hongzhi was also completely satisfied, leaning back on the chair with a smile on his face.After a short rest, he sat up straight, glanced at Song Youwei, and said, "Sister, I'm here today, and you know what's going on."

"In a few days, I will go to Gaoyang to take up my post. Maybe I won't see you for a long time."
