back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 693
Waking up early in the morning, Lu Chengqi only felt refreshed.Fighting all night last night, galloping across the battlefield, killing all directions, finally vented his "bad breath".

Seeing that Han Feng'er was still sound asleep, Lu Chengqi didn't intend to disturb her, but got up on his own, dressed and dressed by his servants, ready to go to court.In fact, Han Feng'er is a martial arts practitioner, she wakes up at the slightest movement.It's just that she is thin-skinned and dare not open her eyes a little.

Lu Chengqi caught a glimpse of her cute eyelashes trembling slightly, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't try to break it, but said in a low voice: "You guys remember to wake up the imperial concubine later, she has endured so hard..."

Han Feng'er has sharp eyes and ears, even if it was such a soft voice, she could hear it clearly, and spat in her heart: "This man..."

After finishing his mischief, Lu Chengqi left the east chamber with a smile on his face, and then went straight to the imperial dining room.At this moment, after Mao hour, hundreds of civil and military officials entered the Daqing Hall one after another. They stood in the main hall or the side hall according to their ranks, forming a circle in twos and threes, discussing something.Among the literati, most of them are discussing the new policies that have just come out, such as elementary education, nursing homes, drug administration bureaus, and so on.They were really confused. They didn't know what the little emperor was going to do. Sometimes they thought he was a rare stupid emperor, and sometimes they thought he was a rare wise emperor. They really didn't know what kind of person the little emperor was.

They also know that it is no longer advisable to judge the little emperor solely by the foolish and wise emperors. It should be based on whether the New Deal has more praises or more criticisms.The newly promulgated Mengxue, Nursing Homes, and Pharmacy Bureaus are all rare "benevolent policies". Unfortunately, for ordinary people, such benevolent policies are somewhat unbearable.Take the Dispensing Bureau as an example. It is true that seeing a doctor does not cost money, but getting medicine still costs money. Even if it is not much, it is still a bit of that.As the saying goes, a good man will do his best to send Buddha to the west.Do half of this and keep half, what is it?
The same is true for nursing homes. It is stipulated that elderly people over 60 years old can enter the nursing home for the elderly. Elderly people over the age of 80 are given additional money for rice and firewood. Elderly people over the age of 90 are given 60 wen per day for pickles, cloth clothes in summer and cotton clothes in winter.But the little emperor didn't know that there were very few people in Dashun who lived past 89 years old?Seventy is rare since ancient times, and [-] is even more popular...

The same is true for Mengxue, who is obviously competing with private schools for business. How does this make those academies view the imperial court?Competing with the people for profit, or not giving them a way out?

There are too many disadvantages of the New Deal, and many civil servants are gearing up, ready to play, to win the respect of the little emperor.Of course, the New Deal is not useless, and it can even be called a benevolent government.The nursing home alone is already doing the work of thousands of families living Buddha.In what year will Chang'an City not freeze to death a few people in winter?Now that there are nursing homes, enough to provide food, clothing and accommodation, the number of deaths will definitely be greatly reduced.

Just as the courtiers were bustling with each other, there was a sound of "the emperor is coming" outside the Daqing Hall, and suddenly there was no sound in the Daqing Hall, and all civil and military officials stood in line, ready to go to court.

Lu Chengqi stepped into the Daqing Palace in a dragon dress. Although he didn't look sideways, he could see that many courtiers were still sleepy, as if they were still sleepwalking.Lu Chengqi also knew that going to court was the most time-consuming and labor-intensive, but many courtiers liked to go to court to measure whether an emperor was diligent or not. Under "forced", Lu Chengqi could only "obey".However, if the court meeting is started, it will be beneficial to go to court.Fortunately, Dashun is a court every five days, and if there is an emergency, Hong Zhong will gather all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter.However, since the establishment of the Dashun Dynasty, except for the death of the emperor, the Hongzhong seems to have rang a few times.The most recent time was during the Yuanshou period, when the Liao Kingdom had besieged the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun before the Hong Bell rang.That time Emperor Yuanshou decided to attack was a turning point in many people's lives.Taishi Yang also insisted on playing in the battle, so that he was promoted step by step.

After boarding the dragon chair, the courtiers bowed and said in unison: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's peace!"

"All the ministers are flat, if you have a book, you will play it early, and if you don't have a book, you will retreat from the court."

Lu Chengqi knew that this was a polite remark, if it happened once a day, there might still be "no reason to play", but once every five days, there was absolutely no reason for him to be spared.

Sure enough, Xu Chongguang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

Many ministers didn't come to their senses. Why didn't Xu Chongguang sit in the middle army this time, instead he took the lead and was the first to come out to play the book?And those with quick minds have already figured it out. This should be the beginning of the Jiangnan incident.In fact, when you become an official, many people's minds are very active.Cultivation is one's own land, and this condition alone has already made the officials present very excited.It's also difficult because Xu Chongguang spared no effort to offend so many people in order to plug the loophole.This kind of spirit, in order to leave a name in history, the spirit of "benefiting all people", Lu Chengqi was also slightly moved.

"Prelude!"

Xu Chongguang immediately held the imperial wat and talked eloquently. All the things he said were about the development of Jiangnan without exception.As expected, many ministers looked at Xu Chongguang in astonishment. Each person is limited to five acres of land?This... This is simply no way out!It also clearly stipulates that officials and their immediate family members are not allowed to "compete with the people for profit." Many people cursed in their hearts: "Straight mother thief, if you don't want to get rich, won't you make us rich?"

For a while, except for Xu Chongguang's disciples and old officials who understood him a little bit, many ministers "shared the same hatred" and almost joined forces to crusade.Xu Chongguang still "does his own way", ignoring the ministers of the court and China who have already made a fuss, and playing the book in a loud voice.

Lu Chengqi sat on the dragon chair, quietly listening to Xu Chongguang's performance.In fact, he had already read this playbook, and now he just listened to it again through Xu Chongguang's mouth.Many quick-witted people looked at the motionless little emperor, and already thought about it: "The cabinet is just the emperor's staff, and this policy must have been ordered by the little emperor. This Xu Shoufu is just protecting the emperor from arrows... "

Lu Chengqi listened to Xu Chongguang's explanations about Jiangnan's farmland, water conservancy, roads, people's livelihood, workshops, etc., and was noncommittal.After he finished speaking, he asked slowly: "What do you think?"

"I have objections!"

"I have a book to play!"

"Your Majesty, this action will inevitably infuriate the public, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

……

As soon as Lu Chengqi's words fell to the ground, a large group of people jumped out, eager to prove that they were the most righteous party, and began to violently "attack" Xu Chongguang, expressing their disapproval.Xu Chongguang sighed in his heart, and looked at Lu Chengqi with complicated eyes.It turned out that in Xu Chongguang's memorial, it was only stated that each person was limited to ten acres of land, but the little emperor waved his hand and said, "Ten acres per person, can we cultivate it? It's too much, let's reduce it to five acres! Also, this What if the officials compete with the people for profit?"

It is precisely because of this that Xu Chongguang "had to" change the memorial, which became today's version.Sure enough, it has already aroused public outrage. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he has the faint intention of becoming the target of public criticism.Hubu Shangshu Lin Zhenzhong looked at Xu Chongguang worriedly, and said in his heart: "Teacher..."
