After dressing like a crazy princess, I turned the hero into a tyrant

Chapter 87 087 Imperial Decree
When the emperor far to the south learned that Xie Yuanshan had actually ascended the throne, he was furious and said directly to Chang Lin, "Didn't you say that the other party's enthronement ceremony would be delayed? Earlier?"

Facing the emperor's anger, Chang Lin was very calm. He didn't say a word, just stood there and let the emperor vent his anger on him. He didn't speak until the emperor calmed down slowly.

"I think Xie Yuanshan's early ascension to the throne is a good thing for us."

After experiencing the incident just now, the emperor questioned what Chang Lin said, "Why do you say that?"

Changlin said: "Because in the eyes of the common people, only Your Majesty is the orthodox royal blood, but Xie Yuanshan is not. Now he ignores the rumors outside and forcibly ascends the throne, just to prove to the common people that what we said before is true, then this At that time, we will have the most legitimate reason to attack the capital and capture Xie Yuanshan alive."

The emperor finally came to his senses after listening to Chang Lin's words, "So, you made such a move earlier, just to ascend the throne faster than Xie Yuanshan, so as to prove that what we said is true?"

Seeing that the emperor saw his intentions, Changlin hurriedly knelt down on his knees and said to the emperor, "I am guilty. I was not sure whether Xie Yuanshan would be fooled, so I lied to your majesty. Please treat me with justice." crime."

Seeing what he said, the emperor didn't know what to say for a while, "Do you know that lying to me is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and if it is serious, you will be ransacked and beheaded." This man's family has already been torn apart.

"Get up, I think you are all for the sake of Daqing, I can spare you the death penalty, but the death penalty is inevitable, so I will punish you to be the vanguard of Xie Yuanshan, how about it?"

Changlin is naturally happy.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for not killing me. I will do my best and will not disappoint Your Majesty."

Hearing what he said, the emperor nodded in satisfaction, and helped him up, "I believe in you, you will definitely not let me down."

But it was as easy as it said to go there, and the first problem Changlin faced was food and grass.

Although the capital of Daqing in the south is rich in products, they are all controlled by the local wealthy families. Now it is very difficult for them to take out the abundant food and grass in their hands for their use.

"I have one more thing I want to ask His Majesty for permission."

The emperor asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Changlin said, "This time, I have thought of a solution to the food and grass needed to attack Xie Yuanshan, but I am afraid that using this method will hurt your relationship with this side."

Hearing what Chang Lin said, the emperor frowned, "Is there no other way?"

Although he understood that Lin Jiang didn't like him very much, this could be said to be his last family member, and he didn't want to be truly alone unless he had to.

Chang Lin shook his head: "To tell the truth, Your Majesty, I have thought of many ways these days, and found that there is no other way except to forcefully collect food from the rich households here. These rich households are well-off and live in the In a stable environment, they seldom care about whether the court is in charge, what they care about is whether this kind of life can continue."

The emperor sighed after hearing Chang Lin's words, because he knew that what Chang Lin said was true.

"But forced expropriation is not the best choice. First, we don't know much about the wealthy households here, and we can't find out clearly in a short period of time. If forced expropriation is rash, how can you know whether they will fool us? Second, if forced to levy, it will inevitably cause their dissatisfaction. This is not a good thing for us to attack Xie Yuanshan. Don't underestimate these merchants. The money in their hands is now our strongest support. We You should think about how to get the money out of their pockets, instead of pushing them away for a little food."

"Your Majesty is so stupid that I really can't think of a way out. Please let Your Majesty make it clear."

"Official positions, give them official positions. Although these people have a lot of money in their pockets, they are all merchants. We can grant some unimportant but sounding official positions. Throughout the ages, there are very few people who don't like to be officials in the court. Yes, the Guangyao Mentel also refers to the same."

Changlin Mao said suddenly, "Although these businessmen are rich, their status in Daqing is very low. As long as they are given some official positions without real power, they will be loyal to us for the sake of honoring the lintel."

The emperor nodded, "That's almost what it means, but when you say it, you can't be so direct. You have to make them sound comfortable, and feel that since we have to rely on them, we have given them full benefits."

Changlin said: "I understand that since I want to give them enough face, I would like to ask Your Majesty to draw up an imperial decree at that time. With the imperial decree, those people will probably believe it even more."

The emperor praised: "It's still Chang Lin who is reliable in your work, so we have to investigate in advance who we want to grant some official positions. Although we can only give some insignificant official positions, I don't want to see people like Xie Yuanshan again. number one."

Chang Lin: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take a good look at it. At the same time, I suggest that we start with your uncle."

The emperor looked at Chang Lin and laughed, "You, sometimes I suddenly feel that you are more suitable to be an official in the court than your father, since you have already found a breakthrough, then go ahead and do it, I will definitely do it Your strong backing."

With the emperor's permission, the corners of Chang Lin's mouth rose slightly, with a smile on his face, "I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."

Chang Lin's work was very fast. After he had confirmed with the emperor what official position he should give Lin Jiang, he went to Lin Jiang's residence with a freshly released imperial decree.

After Lin Jiang learned of Chang Lin's purpose of coming, he felt that the matter was a little funny in surprise, but he had to kneel in the yard and listened to Chang Lin read out the imperial decree in his hand.

"Master Lin, now you and I are colleagues."

Chang Lin stared at Lin Jiang with a smile on his face, and handed Lin Jiang the imperial decree he had read out.

When Lin Jiang heard Chang Lin say that he would become a colleague with him in the future, his expression was quite ugly. He always felt that Chang Lin was just a martial artist with a spear and a club, how could he be equal to himself.

Lin Jiang weighed the imperial decree in his hand, and he didn't seem to have any opinion on it, but from his actions, he also showed that this person didn't have much respect for the emperor behind the imperial decree.

"Master Changlin, it's better not to talk nonsense, you and I are not in the same way at all."

After Chang Lin's hand holding the saber heard Lin Jiang's words, his veins popped immediately.
