Summoning the Peerless Emperor of All Realms

Chapter 12 Those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

Li Yun returned to the bedroom and recuperated with zhenqi. After a while, the wound on his arm healed.

At this time, Yu Jin suddenly appeared in front of Li Yun.

As expected of Yu Jin's ability to hide, even when he appeared in front of Li Yun, Li Yun didn't realize how he got in.

"See Your Majesty."

"General Yu, please rise up!"

"Your Majesty, the last general monitored the Queen Mother and found a strange thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Every night, all the maids in the Queen Mother's bedroom will be kicked out, and her bedroom will be covered with thick fog." Yu Jin said.

"Dense fog?"

"General Yu, what do you think that is?" Li Yun asked.

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that it should be cultivation." Yu Jin replied.

"Cultivation?" Li Yun was secretly surprised. There had been rumors that the queen mother belonged to the Tianmo Sect before, and it seemed that it was more certain now.

The queen mother is practicing, and her cultivation level is definitely not low.

Then it seemed even more difficult for him to get rid of the queen mother, which made Li Yun directly rule out the idea of ​​assassinating the queen mother.

Because people from the Immortal Sect are not low in cultivation, he doesn't know what the Empress Dowager's state is now, if Ge Nie and the others make a rash move, the loss outweighs the gain.

"What about the others?" Li Yun continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, I also saw Gao Ya, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, go to meet the Queen Mother!"

"What?" Li Yun was surprised.

Because as far as he knew, Gao Ya belonged to Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, how could he go to meet the Queen Mother?

Could it be that Gao Ya is the inside line placed by the Queen Mother on Lin Xiang's side?

However, with the shrewdness of the Empress Dowager, it would be abnormal if she didn't have an insider.

But a Shangshu is a third-rank official, so he can be an insider?
"It seems that we have to be wary of this Minister of Criminal Affairs in the future."

"Okay Yu Jin, you go first."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yu Jin disappeared again.

Gai Nie slowly came to Li Yun's side, "What are you going to do about the refugees?"

"do not know."

"If you can't solve this problem, I'm afraid your situation will be dangerous, and those innocent people will also become victims of politics." Gai Nie said lightly.

"Mr. Gai, I know what you mean. These are my people. Even if this matter does not concern my family or life, I will do my best to resolve this matter!" Li Yun said.

"How about this, Mr. Gai, tomorrow we will visit the refugees in private and go outside to see those refugees!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The next day, it was just dawn.

Li Yun changed into plain clothes and went out of the city with Gai Nie.

The two rode to the edge of Chang'an City. Looking from the city wall, Li Yun saw refugees sitting outside Chang'an City. They were wearing tattered clothes, muddy all over, all barefoot, and hungry. stroking belly.

The gates of the city were tightly closed, if these refugees were let in, they would be able to burn, kill and loot anything.

So it is not advisable to let the refugees into the city directly, but if these refugees are left outside the city, then they can only starve to death.

In the distance, refugees one by one kept walking towards Chang'an City.

In fact, Li Yun knew that the best way to deal with these refugees was to kill them all!
Killing them all, neither needing to use the treasury, nor needing to feed them, and saving manpower and material resources, is the best way so far.

But Li Yun is not a tyrant after all, these refugees are his own subjects, besides fighting openly and secretly in court, Li Yun also understands a truth.

After all, nine-year compulsory education is not for nothing. Since ancient times, whether it is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, or Emperor Kangxi and Yongzheng, the emperors of the world are all those who win the hearts of the people!

So if I want to be a good emperor, I don't rely on playing tricks, but to really win the hearts of the people.

If I get the support of the people, then I have the biggest backer, so if I solve the refugee issue this time, it will also lay the foundation for my future.

Looking at these refugees outside the city, Gai Nie asked from the side: "What is His Majesty planning to do?"

early morning.

Li Yun was sitting in the court hall, and the queen mother sat next to Li Yun.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Li Yun.

The Empress Dowager asked, "I don't know how your majesty is progressing with the refugees?"

"Queen, I want to use the national treasury to help the refugees." Li Yun said.

"The refugees are also my citizens of Great Qin. If I don't save them, I'm afraid the people will be chilled!"

Hearing that Li Yun wanted to use the treasury, the Queen Mother immediately denied it: "No!"

"The treasury is the foundation of a country, the foundation of a country. If the treasury is used, the treasury will be empty, and the enemy country will invade? So we must not lose the big because of the small!"

Li Yun knew that the Empress Dowager would not allow him to use the national treasury. All he said was just for testing purposes. If he could use the money in the national treasury to help the refugees, the matter of refugees would not be so difficult.

"If I don't use the treasury, where will I get the money to help the refugees?" Li Yun asked back.

The queen mother smiled faintly, "You are the emperor, this is your business, as the king of a country, if you can't even save your own people, then I don't think you are worthy of being the emperor!"

"Then, as the king of a country, don't I even have the right to use the treasury?" Li Yun said angrily.

"Your Majesty, as I said, the treasury is the foundation of the country. If you use the treasury, I'm afraid the ministers of the court will not agree, right? Ladies and gentlemen!" The queen mother looked at the ministers of the court.

The ministers of the DPRK and China formed cliques for private interests, and half of the Queen Mother's followers, so how could they not listen to what the Queen Mother said.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is the most important thing in the country. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

"I hope Your Majesty think twice!"

Immediately, more than half of the people knelt down, and the remaining ministers looked at each other and also knelt down.

"good very good!"

"I don't use the national treasury. As the ministers of this dynasty, you all have a lot of wealth. I ask you, are you willing to use your wealth to help the refugees?"

"Your Majesty, I have a salary of one hundred shi per year, and I have a wife and children at home. I really have no money to help the refugees."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have no money!"

All the ministers of the DPRK and China knelt down and said.

Li Yun knew that getting them to pay was harder than reaching the sky. Li Yun said this just to test how many of them really thought about the common people.

"Okay, okay, you courtiers are corrupt and pervert the law, and your family fortune is getting bigger and bigger, but when you ask for money, you pretend to be poor one by one. What use do I need you?" Li Yun said sharply.

"Don't think that I am easy to bully, one day, I will clean up you moths!"

"Retreat!"

Li Yun shook his hand and left.

"Your Majesty, the treasury cannot be used now, and those ministers are unwilling to pay. I think it will be difficult for Your Majesty to solve this matter." Gai Nie said slowly.

Li Yun stared into the distance and responded lightly: "These are all expected things. I got angry in the court today, just to let them see my determination."

"determination?"

"Yes, determination!"

"If I resolve this refugee issue under such circumstances, it means that I do have the strength to fight the Queen Mother. Although most of the civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty are now the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister, I know that there are still some who are not in line. Ministers, I want these ministers to be used by me!"

"So I have expressed my determination. If I solve this matter, and then use more lures, it will be better for these ministers to stand by my side."

"Your Majesty means that you have a solution to these refugees' problems?"

Li Yun smiled.

"Let me ask you, what do I lack most now?"

"People, available people!"

"You're right. What I lack the most right now is people. Whether it's the queen mother or the prime minister, they all have their own power. What if I want to form a power?" Li Yun asked lightly.

"Your Majesty means..."

"That's right, don't these refugees just happen to serve me?"

"But Your Majesty, you want to recruit these refugees, but you must feed them first!" Gai Nie said hastily.

Li Yun smiled: "These refugees don't need me to support them, someone will support them for us!"
