Chapter 226 226 Mrs. Wen commits suicide
"Oh? You said you didn't know that this was a private soldier of the Wang family"?
Murong Yong smiled back when he was angry.
Wei Ze was wearing armor, with a sincere expression on his face, and there was still some dust on his face, looking like he was covered in dust!
"Your Majesty, please give me a warning. I went to assist the soldiers and horses in Wucheng. Tens of thousands of soldiers were buried in corpses. I just buried them in peace and restored the public order in Wucheng before returning.
I don’t know what happened in Licheng!As soon as I heard that Your Majesty was in trouble and someone surrounded the palace, I came immediately!”
Wei Ze said it sincerely, but Murong Yong couldn't say anything to punish him.
"Someone saw you and the Holy Son plotting something in the teahouse two days ago?"
Murong Yong also had his own spies, and he didn't mean to be led by Wei Ze.
"Your Majesty, you are wise! Every aristocratic family has a few people who look similar to their opponents. If someone is really deliberately framed, and your Majesty believes it, I have nothing to say."
Wei Ze looked like he was sacrificing his life for justice, and Murong Yong didn't dare to do anything to him.
"Wei Ze, you secretly mobilized one hundred thousand soldiers and horses from Silver Moon City to leave the city. Even if I believe your good intentions, you still have to give an explanation to other aristocratic families!
I will punish you by handing over the control of one hundred thousand troops to Wang Se.
And if you accidentally killed the Wang family's 10 guards, all the money would be lost.What do you think about your compensation of [-] taels of silver to the Wang family? "
Murong Yong was really unwilling to give in. As soon as the conversation changed, he wanted to seize Wei Ze's military power.
"Your Majesty is wise, the military power of Silver Moon City is now in the hands of the Holy Son.
As for Wang Jia's loss, I am willing to pay 10 taels of silver to the Wang family.
There are still a lot of disorderly people in the city, and I need you to maintain order. I will send the silver to the palace in a few days. Please forgive me, and I will take my leave! "
Wei Ze saw that Lin Jin had taken away all the people and left with his men without looking back.
"This is unreasonable. Grandpa, please don't be angry. The Wei family is very wealthy and he promised to compensate you for your losses.
10 taels of silver will definitely be given to you.The palace is now in a mess, and grandpa is still needed to help repair it! "
Wang Se's heart was full of regret, he shouldn't have forced himself to do this. Now he lost his wife and lost his troops, what should he do?
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to offer and no military power. Even if I want to help, there is nothing I can do. Please forgive me, I am not feeling well. Please step back for now!"
Day two.
All the important ministers in the court are basically controlled by the top ten aristocratic families.Now, there are very few people left in the court that Murong Yong can use.
"The visitor claims that in order to appreciate the merits of the late emperor, he will take two additional imperial examinations this year. Children from poor families can participate regardless of their age!"
Murong Yong said this in the court, the Ministry of Revenue has taken on this important task!
"But Your Majesty has always had strict requirements for students from poor families. If a large number of students from poor families are allowed to flood into the court, they will all be people with no background, and it may be difficult to control them!"
"Oh? Then you think you want a descendant of an aristocratic family? But now that you have seen the world condense into a rope, how can I have any room to speak?
There is also now a recruitment process, and every family must contribute a young man to join the army! "
After Mu Murongyong finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the court hall!
Although the Minister of War is not from one of the top ten aristocratic families, he is still from one of the top ten aristocratic families.
"Your Majesty, you said before that the common people are all untouchables. We must first draw strong men from the common people to strengthen the army. Now is not the best time!"
The Minister of War is Liu Qi, who looks to be middle-aged.
"Oh? They don't want to? It's not up to them. Yesterday, those unruly people were rescued by the Holy Son.
I thought there was nothing I could do about them, so I spared them. They should be grateful for my magnanimity!
As for the matter of the Imperial Preceptor, you can take care of it. Since the Imperial Preceptor has done evil, then expose it, but what does it have to do with my royal family? "
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and you need to make your own decision. I and others cannot make the decision!" The Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, all of them are experienced, they don't dare to do anything to bear the blame!
But this was exactly in line with Murong Yong's thoughts. He just needed to make his words work. Since no one objected, he immediately made the decree.
"But Your Majesty now has to provide subsidies for conscription. How much should each household give? In the past, His Majesty gave each household one tael of silver per year?"
When the Minister of War said it, his tongue hurt.
"What, one tael? Then I will give you three taels of silver for a year, to celebrate my ascension to the throne as emperor!"
"But your Majesty's household does not have much money left, and the treasury is empty." There was a lot of discussion in the court, but in the end Murong Yong's idea was the main one.
The treasury is empty, where can it be filled?Or from the people’s taxes?After all the dialing down, this year’s taxes have increased by five points!
In this way, three months have passed and winter is coming.
But at this moment, word came out that Murong Yong was suffering from a cold and was in critical condition.
"Hmph, I let him bounce around for three months, which is my limit. I really can't wait, I want to go back to Yunque as soon as possible!"
Wen Qing couldn't help but say.
"Nowadays, people are revolting everywhere, and people are in dire straits. Isn't this what you said, when the time comes?
The poor people selected some talents, but His Majesty did not use them, and you took them under your wing. Why are you worried now? "
Lin Jin looked at Wen Qing and didn't expect that he had cut off the financial resources of the ten major families behind him.
Talents from poor families were also captured by him.He, the Holy Son, just needs to be taken out by him and used as a name to show off his authority!
"Then what can I do? You need to have a good reputation and an uncheckable background.
Of course, I was responsible for the filth and darkness behind it.
What's more, Murong Yong squeezed the people.He kills people at every turn, increases taxes at every turn, and he is seeking his own death. What does it have to do with me? "
Wen Qing said it calmly, but in his heart he was very anxious to find his biological mother.
"Okay, you're right, it's all for my own good. I will definitely make you a national teacher in the future! To show your great merits!"
"Don't, don't! Now the Imperial Master is a notorious person in the hearts of the people, and I don't want it!"
It was rare for Wen Qing to smile. Wen Qing had not laughed once in the past few months.
"But the economic monopoly you are talking about is a good way to cut off its financial resources. Without money and reputation, you really can't do anything. It is really the simplest and most effective way!"
Lin Jin really admired Wen Qing. He had always had the mentality of killing to stop killing, but he was actually no better than Murong Yong.
"The economic base determines the superstructure. Without the economy, nothing can be done. This is what my mother said."
After saying that, Wen Qing fell silent again. He really missed his mother.
"No, Mr. Wen, Mrs. Wen is making trouble in the other courtyard and wants to commit suicide!"
When both of them were feeling sad, the voice of the maid suddenly came.
Murong Yong smiled back when he was angry.
Wei Ze was wearing armor, with a sincere expression on his face, and there was still some dust on his face, looking like he was covered in dust!
"Your Majesty, please give me a warning. I went to assist the soldiers and horses in Wucheng. Tens of thousands of soldiers were buried in corpses. I just buried them in peace and restored the public order in Wucheng before returning.
