What about Mr. Faint?

Chapter 12 Disregarding people's livelihood...

Since the enemy country has released such cruel words, I naturally can't pretend that I didn't hear it, can I?No matter what other people think, I should be very angry anyway, and I am indeed very angry, so I slammed the bamboo slip in my hand very hard, then pointed at the general and ordered him: Let them die.

Although what I said was to die in a literal sense, then they really died with their own actions.

Only at this time can I feel the benefits of sitting in this position.Those unimportant people, those who don't want to care, just need a word from me, whether it is intentional or unintentional, they can disappear from my sight, and they can erase their traces from this world.

This is -

- the rights of kings

When Ah Gu was talking to me, he quoted a sentence from Xunzi.It said: "The strategy of the township, the review of labor and loss, the accumulation of livestock, and the preparation of war preparations, all believe in it, but no one in the world dares to do it." 'I know every word, but when they are connected together, they don't make sense, but in fact, no one cares about whether they understand it or not.

But in the end, marching and fighting is not my business, I am only responsible for telling the Taifu to cooperate with the general, and let it go.Before winter came, the general went away with money and food.A Gu has always been very interested in marching and fighting. He stood on the roof beam early in the morning, looking in the direction of the city gate, watching the shadow of the army going away.

But I am too lazy to leave my quilt on this autumn windy day.

How well they fought, you can see the result by looking at the stack of battle reports on my desk and the letter that came to ask for money and food.It's just that as time went by, the expression of the Tai Tuo became worse and worse. He began to tell me that there was not enough money and food, and he started to tell me that there was not enough reserve, but what's the use of telling me?

"Isn't this all you should solve?" My father-in-law was massaging my legs, and his skills were very good.

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty." The Tai Tuo saluted me respectfully, he was always so disciplined, his words and deeds were as strict as planned by a ruler, completely in accordance with the norms, without any overstepping.From this point of view, the general who has always regarded order as nothing is quite different from him. The two people are very different.

So, what do you want me to do when the national treasury is empty: "Do you want me to give you a big change of money?" This is interesting, "whoever should be in charge of this matter, let him get you the money. You Find me, I can't do anything."

The Tai Tuo stood still, looking as if he wanted to fight me to the end: "Your Majesty, since the minister was beheaded by you, the position of Minister of Households has been vacant for a long time."

Well, what the hell is a servant?Who is that?

The Taifu's expression is indescribable, he looked at me and was silent for a long time: "Your Majesty," he seemed to have made up his mind, "Please decree to amnesty the world and reopen the imperial examination."

imperial examination...

Jing Dynasty has not conducted the imperial examination for many years. The reason is that the imperial court cheated in the imperial examination a hundred years ago, exposing several people, including the first-rank officials, for their inappropriate behavior of accepting bribes and selling questions.Tai Ozu ignored the system implemented by the clan at first, but was overthrown in the hands of the descendants of those clans in the end.

But I have other ideas, the imperial examination can be reopened, but it is not in my hands: "Amnesty to the world?" This word is often connected with another word, "Teacher hopes, why do I attach a letter? "

"Your Majesty, I have been fighting for years and years, and it is already a taboo to start another war just after the ten-year period is over." He folded his hands on his forehead and knelt on the bottom, "Now that the treasury of the Warring States is empty, the population is dying, and the people are dying. It's hard to be safe, and there was a severe drought last year, and there was a shortage of food and grass in the area. This is a sign from the sky..."

The Taifu was still chattering in the distance, but I suddenly remembered the general who was armed with a gun in the garden that day.His long black hair fluttered with his movements, his sleeves and robe rustled in the wind, his brows were full of firmness, and his moves were opened and closed with a decisiveness that those martial arts masters in the past did not have.

The general's movements have always been neat, even walking like flying without dragging his feet.He has always been indifferent and calm, even if I said that he would never return to the battlefield for the rest of his life, he just said indifferently, "Your Majesty still needs ministers", and sent me away.

Looking at the figure of the general armed with a gun that day, I finally asked: "What wish does the general have?" '

How did the general answer?

"I refuse." Looking at the chattering Taifu, looking at the smiling father-in-law beside him, and looking at the intelligence of victory in front of him, "If this is what the Taifu wants to tell me, you can retire. The imperial examination will not If it is reopened, the general's decree of conquest will not be retracted, and the edict of amnesty for the world's sins will not be issued from my hands."

"Your Majesty?" The question was from the father-in-law, "What the Tai Tuo said is true, why do you..."

In this kind of place, there is no room for a handicapped person to speak: "As a dog," he looked at his father-in-law with a smile, "I can't understand the master's words, it's useless to keep you, just go die."

The father-in-law's face changed slightly, and he lowered his eyes and knelt on the ground with a puff: "Your Majesty calm down, this servant just wants to share your worries, please Your Majesty, for the sake of serving you for so many years, please spare this servant."

The Taifu prostrated himself on the ground, lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly: "Anything is fine, but it is impossible to sin against oneself." Standing up from the dragon chair, he raised his clothes and walked towards the Taifu step by step, " You can ask me to re-open the imperial examination, you can take full responsibility. You can ask me to pardon the world, but only this..."

"……Can't."

"So, neither can."

Only my voice remained above the hall, perhaps because the last voice was too heavy, and the empty hall was full of echoes that I could not do: "I have done nothing wrong, and I have committed no crimes."

"Your Majesty!" It's rare to see the father-in-law and the Taifu speaking from the same standpoint, "Now I'm dying as a man." Of course I know what he wants to say, but obviously I am the emperor, and obviously you can only listen to me.

"Then let's conscript the army." All the problems raised by the Taifu have been solved, "Let each family produce a male over 15 years old, so there will be an army." If you don't understand it is so simple, please ask , why the Taifu didn't understand, "If one dies, one will be made up. If one dies, one will be made up."

"Increasing taxes can't make the frontier soldiers short of money to fight. The original tax is too low. If the price is raised, the treasury won't be empty." Isn't it what should be done, this world itself is my descendant Garden, wanting them to submit is nothing more than a word.

"Your Majesty!" Tai Tuo said in a stern voice, "There was a severe drought last year, and many Zhuangzi had no harvest."

What Tai Tu said is interesting: "Does it have anything to do with me?" He tilted his head and smiled, "I just want results."

No matter what the Taifu thought, I still brought up this matter in the court the next day.As I expected, this policy demanded an uproar in the court, and even the internal surveillance army, who was used to doing nothing, stood up, strongly condemned my actions, and said that I was ashamed to warn the late emperor.

Who cares about things like the first emperor.

"Since your interest is so great, why don't you go to the battlefield to have a look." I don't really want to continue arguing with this group of people, because it is really unnecessary: ​​"Recruit males and increase taxes. Taifu, this I will leave all the imperial examinations in [-] to you." Looking at the movement of the Taifu raising his head, although the expression on his face could not be seen clearly because of the distance, it must be very vivid.

"If anyone of you protests again, go to the frontier and accompany the general." These words became the words of Duanluo, and the hall was quiet, only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Seeing the courtiers coming forward to remonstrate one after another, listening to the dark voices in his ears, feeling the air-conditioning in the hall, but in front of him was the scorching feeling of bumping into the general's arms by mistake that day.

The first position on the left was vacant, and it was only a year since the general left the capital. Looking at such a chaotic and disorderly court, I just felt very disturbed.Taifu's lineage quarreled with the courtiers left behind by the general, all because of the question of whether to fight or not. What's the point?

They are not enemies, and it is impossible to replace the enemy to stop the pursuit of Jing Dynasty soldiers.They are not me and cannot make decisions for me.The most important thing is that they are not generals, and it is impossible to command those thorny generals.

General, I suddenly remembered what the general said in the imperial garden that day.

"I don't have anything to ask Your Majesty now," the general looked at me with dark eyes, without any intention of avoiding it, "If I need something and ask Your Majesty, then it is my incompetence.The things I want, I have already held in my hands now, and I will not let go. '

He says……

In this world, he only believes in himself.

*That servant is unlucky, the one who was killed by his father-in-law at the beginning is unlucky. (Grievance 233 without official name)

*For the time being, the father-in-law is standing on the same line with the Taifu, because the front line is tight and money is scarce, and his life is not easy.On the other hand, it was because he didn't want the general to win any more battles. When the general became the real god of war, the little emperor would be under the control of the general, and he would have no backing.

*As for why you didn’t do the trick, do you think the father-in-law didn’t do the trick ╮(╯▽╰)╭

*The little emperor is a gambler, a gambler who has no cards and has completely gone crazy.

* Tai Tu is not collaborating with outsiders, he is just very confused about his current life.He can't get what he wants, and his past life has polished his pride, so what he wants now is a stage for his students to perform.And the best result on this stage is the imperial examination, but the little emperor just doesn't take the imperial examination.

*The general doesn't believe anyone, he is the type who will only run towards his own goal and close his eyes until he hits his head to death, so he doesn't speak big words.

*Yes, the little emperor knew he was killing himself, but he was willing to
