The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 197 The Scary Nightmare in Reality (Part [-])
Outside the city gate to the west, there was a strong smell of blood, making people dizzy.

Two days have passed, and the tall beheading platform has not been dismantled. The blood-washed platform was blown by the wind, turning a dark brown color and emitting a stench. The beheading platform was covered by blood for several miles. Pools of undried blood were all over the ground.

The flowers and plants on the ground were trampled to the ground by the people who came to watch the beheading. At a glance, they were bare, leaving only blood in their eyes.

Such a scene is like a hell on earth, it is obviously summer, cold, death, despair, darkness, all the negative breath blows towards the face.

Watching Su Tang until his heart skipped two beats, this scene is more impactful and shocking than the splash of stumps blown by gunpowder.

The hill piled up with human heads is several meters high. Due to the hot weather, flies are buzzing around the pile of heads, enjoying their feast.

The expressions on the skulls all reveal a breath of despair, some eyes are wide open, pupils constricted, some mouths seem to be shouting, some women's faces are crying with makeup, and Su Tang even saw a few young heads. There are swollen lumps the size of eggs.

It was smashed out by the Jingtuan. It was clear that half a month ago, some young people here were still growing up without any worries. They were still outing in the hunting grounds, chasing the Jingtuan to settle accounts, and returning home to lose their temper I filed a complaint with my father, and read a book from her in Chaoshang.

They were still alive half a month ago, but because their parents failed to fight for power and made mistakes, they are now left with only a bunch of heads bitten by flies.

Winner and loser, life and death, this is the truth that Su Tang has understood for four years. In this socially turbulent feudalism, human life is the least valuable thing.

Now this bloody picture was presented in front of her, like a horrible nightmare that happened in reality, she was still almost defeated by the picture in front of her, almost unable to bear the shock it brought her.

She has never had a firm belief in her heart like she does now. She wants to resign from the position of prince and return to Yanyang City to build a harmonious, safe and peaceful city. Since this continent is so cruel, she will do it for herself. Build a paradise.

Su Tang tried his best to suppress all the emotions in his heart, and comforted the two tearful people who had already cried and fell to the ground, "Your family revenge has been avenged, and you must live well, and live together with your share of the dead relatives."

After the cloud, the sun shines.

Mrs. Qi, who was corrupt and perverted the law, and who searched for the people's fat and anointment, and her party members have all been punished, and the dust has settled.

Seeing that the storm had passed, the terrified people and the officials who were afraid of being implicated finally dared to go out of their homes, put aside their fears and took to the streets to celebrate.

Execution of such a large corrupt official is a good thing for the country and the people. The imperial court is planning to hold the imperial examination and kill so many officials at once.

The scholar who studied hard in the cold window has a clean background, and he can even devote himself to the imperial court.

The emperor gave rewards for meritorious deeds, and Su Tang, who sent the testimony, took the lead. Not only did her position as crown prince not be shaken, but it was even more secure.

Due to this incident, everyone in the court was afraid, and those who planned for the throne temporarily took a break from their thoughts, and it was rare for the capital to experience an unprecedented harmony.

With this nearly one million silver, coupled with the dedication of the officials one by one, various disaster relief tasks have been carried out with unprecedented efficiency.

Su Tang was worried that the skyrocketing food prices did not appear. With the reduction of food, the price of food would rise, which was within a reasonable range.

The imperial court bought grain and sent it to the disaster area. Although domestic grain is in short supply, as long as no one is stockpiling grain and allocating it reasonably, there is no problem in overcoming the drought in the south.

All the things that Su Tang was worried about before were all resolved. It seems that ruling the country often requires iron and blood methods to deter.

Yasu and Yingyue’s moods have been fluctuating too much recently, especially Yingyue endured all this unpreparedly. Su Tang gave them a holiday and asked them to do what they wanted to do to adjust their moods. To meet the future life.

Su Tang himself stayed in the room all day reviewing the memorials, and then thought of a way to get rid of the crown prince.

After much deliberation, I feel that no matter what kind of conspiracies are used, they are all tricks in front of His Majesty, but it is better to have a heart-to-heart chat with His Majesty and talk about your own thoughts.

Su Tang felt that His Majesty's feelings for him, apart from being a father and daughter, might work. Even if His Majesty disagreed, he wouldn't pull himself out and behead him just because he told him that he didn't want to be a prince. .

Of course, before talking about this kind of thing, you have to bring some gifts to His Majesty first, so that you can speak if you make him happy.

After preparing these, Su Tang entered the palace.

There are too many things in the capital that need to be dealt with. When Su Tang arrived, the emperor was reading the memorial. The height of the memorials on the table was compared with those of Su Tang.

Su Tang felt that the memorials he read every day were pediatrics, and the officials had to deal with them first, brushing out the insignificant ones, and sending them here were all things that needed the emperor's decision.

"I see my father!"

After Su Tang saluted, the emperor raised his head from the pile of memorials, "Yongle is here, get up quickly and give me a seat!"

Su Tang looked at His Majesty's complexion. It seems that after a few days of embarrassment, the corruption case did not cause any bad effects. But thinking about it, His Majesty fought as a young man and ascended the throne in his middle age. It's really nothing to him.

"Father, Leng Anguo's national treasury is empty because of the perennial wars that have exhausted the people and money. I recently came up with a method at home that can relieve the pressure on the treasury in a short period of time, so I came here to report it to my father." Su Tang replied.

There are twelve counties in Leng'an country, if Yanyang City is considered a county, there are thirteen counties, each county has a population of tens of thousands, and the whole country has millions of people.

The tens of millions of taels of silver collected in taxes every year is still not enough to save much money. The nearly one million taels of silver that were confiscated from the house in the past two days, plus the money needed for the drought, can't solve any problems for the court's finances.

His Majesty's eyes brightened slightly, showing a bit of curiosity. Even if it is not a long-term, but a short-term solution to relieve financial pressure, it is very useful and can help the court do a lot of things.

For example, a sudden natural disaster requires a large amount of money to relieve the disaster. At this time, the court can’t afford the money, and the victims riot and revolt to overthrow the dynasty. If the treasury is emptied for disaster relief, the frontier army has no food supply, and foreign enemies break through the border. No matter what you do, you will die. Bureau.

This is also the reason why His Majesty, Su Tang, and all the courtiers were frightened by the drought some time ago.

At this time, if a large amount of silver taels can be gathered in a short period of time to solve a big problem, how important it is.
