Chapter 1218 Tough
This has aroused stronger opposition.
All the people in the court and the country were complaining, and they became increasingly dissatisfied with the female emperor.
Although due to the authority of the government, the people could only complain in private, and complaints were everywhere in the restaurants.
Song Yuzheng sat alone on the third floor of a restaurant, with a gloomy face.
The third floor has been cleared, and more than a dozen internal guards are as if they are facing a great enemy, and are extremely alert to avoid assassination.
Although no one assassinated Song Yuzheng now, the court officials and the people are very hostile to her, and it is inevitable that someone will do stupid things.
As a great guard, you must not be careless. If you have any good fortune, they will never redeem them.
Although the people and the court officials were dissatisfied with Song Yuzheng and wanted her to get out, the guards of the inner guards were absolutely loyal to her.
In their opinion, Song Yuzheng was extremely handsome, diligent and loving the people, and was generous and kind. In their eyes, he was the best emperor, but he was treated unfairly because he was a woman.
As great guards, they were powerless to do nothing. All they could do was protect the emperor and not hurt her.
"Emperor." An old man sat in front of Song Yuzheng, his beards and eyebrows were all white, and he hugged his fists: "There is no need to listen to the words of stupid people and tragic women, it is not worthy of acceptance."
"This is the voice of the people." Song Yuzheng said coldly: "Old Xu, I, the emperor, have done too much."
"The emperor is already unparalleled in saints." Xu Rong sighed with a silver beard: "It's a pity that the people listen to the wind and rain. They are often too influenced by the gentry and have no own opinions."
"Haha..." Song Yuzheng sneered: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to comfort me."
"People's hearts are full of flesh. The emperor's tax exemption is known to everyone. How can we not be grateful?" Xu Rong said.
Song Yuzheng said: "Hmph, are they grateful?"
"I think it will take some time. If they feel safe, they will be grateful to the emperor." Xu Rong said.
Song Yuzheng snorted.
Xu Rong said: "Your Majesty, everything should be done without any hassle. It is better to wait a moment."
"can not wait!"
Song Yuzheng said lightly.
"But..." Xu Rong said: "If you are too fucked, you will not achieve your goal and will only anger the people and ministers in the world."
"Old Xu, you are in the same group with them, right?"
"emperor!"
"You also think I act arrogantly and irrationally?"
"The emperor is wise and genius, and the old minister has no idea!" Xu Rong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Just..."
"A severe drought is coming, and no canals are built? What should I do then?" Song Yuzheng said coldly: "Would you let the people eat dirt?"
"Emperor? Throughout the ages..."
"Don't mention the past dynasties to me!" Song Yuzheng snorted: "There is nothing strange in the world. There is always the first time in everything? There was no severe drought in the past? It does not mean that there will never be severe drought."
"The possibility of appearing is too slim." Xu Rong sighed: "For such a little possibility, people's power is consumed so much? How can officials not worry, and how can people not complain?"
"After all the time, I just don't believe my judgment!" Song Yuzheng sneered.
"... Although the emperor is wise? After all, the Imperial Heaven Supervision did not make such a judgment." Xu Rong said helplessly: "You have specialized in your skills."
"So Mr. Xu, you think I'm wrong."
"Man is not a sage..."
"Okay, no need to say it!" Song Yuzheng said angrily: "After saying that, I have asked me to withdraw the imperial edict!"
"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."
"I will never agree!" Song Yuzheng said slowly: "The imperial edict has been issued, but if there are those who refuse to obey the imperial edict, they will have their own laws? Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Oh—" Xu Rong smiled bitterly.
No matter how wise the emperor is, he is also young and energetic, and it is almost impossible to persuade her to take back the imperial edict.
But all civil and military officials were extremely angry at this imperial edict and had a strong desire to confront each other. If this continues, there may be big problems.
Song Yuzheng said: "I have sent the censor to the stage? Let's see which one is lip service and will never let it go!"
"Prince? How did this news come about?" Xu Rong sighed.
Song Yuzheng glanced at him sideways.
Xu Rong said: "I heard that the Dayue Dynasty has also begun to carry out military service? We will mobilize the civilians to start building canals."
"Um."
"Our Dayun and Dayue started to build canals at the same time. I guess it is related to His Highness Nan Wang?"
"It's worthy of being Mr. Xu."
"Your Majesty? Although His Highness, the Southern King, is good at martial arts, is he just a warrior after all? He is not an Imperial Heavenly Prison."
"So, you can't believe Li Chengkong's judgment, and you don't let me believe Li Chengkong's judgment, right?"
“…It’s exactly.”
"But I believe in his judgment more."
"Forgive the old minister to be rude."
"After saying that."
"This is exactly why the ministers resisted the emperor." Xu Rong said slowly: "I just think that Li Chengkong has a great influence on my Dayue. Dayun is my Dayun's Dayun, not Li Chengkong's Dayun."
Song Yuzheng snorted: "Do you think he misses this big moon?"
"Your Majesty, think about it. If the little prince of the Southern Prince's Mansion becomes the emperor of Dayue, then would he think about unifying the world?"
"Won't."
"Your Majesty, people's hearts are changing easily. If you have the opportunity to unify the world, who can give up?"
"If it is true as you said, why didn't Li Chengkong dominate the world?" Song Yuzheng snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, how can you say that he has not unified the world now?" Xu Rong said slowly: "Zhuyinsi probably unified the martial arts world, right?"
"Old Xu, you're thinking too much." Song Yuzheng snorted.
Xu Rong said: "The old minister must think too much. I really don't want my Dayun's safety and destiny to be only one person's thoughts."
"If I don't become an emperor, the emperor's brother or the emperor, then Dayun will be able to control his own destiny and can fight against him?" Song Yuzheng said angrily: "All you officials are so smart, will the emperor be confused?"
Xu Rong was stunned.
They actually all know why the Supreme Emperor gave the throne to the Emperor, and in the final analysis it was Li Chengkong.
It was because he was afraid that Li Chengkong would swallow Dayun, and with Song Yuzheng as the emperor, Li Chengkong would not be able to do anything, so it might not be possible if he had changed to others.
This is also the reason why the ministers opposed Song Yuzheng. They looked down on Song Yuzheng in their bones and thought that she was pushing her up to block Li Chengkong, and she should be a puppet obediently, and everything should be decided by the Supreme Emperor.
What's more, she's still a woman.
But after the emperor ascended the throne, he was not willing to be a puppet. Instead, he snatched the imperial power and forced the emperor to retreat into the palace, and isolated the inside and outside of the palace.
In this way, the ministers could not hear the emperor's will and could only listen to the emperor, which made them very dissatisfied.
Moreover, although she has a strong temper, she acts leniently and acts according to the law, and does not rely on the imperial power to rush and be unreasonable.
This makes them more confident and dare to fight.
"Old Xu, tell them that although I am lenient, I will never be lenient with those who resist the order!" Song Yuzheng looked impatient and said coldly: "My patience is limited!"
"The Emperor thinks twice."
"I have thought about it for five or six!" Song Yuzheng snorted: "You can't let the people go hungry because of you. This matter is settled and there is no room for further discussion!"
"...Yes." Seeing her like this, Xu Rong nodded slowly: "The old minister will appease the ministers."
Song Yuzheng nodded: "Let them be sober, don't regard my tolerance and kindness as weakness. There is no objection to the construction of canals, and you cannot shirk responsibility and delay. Otherwise, if you see one person and don't want to be an official in the court, then give up your position. There are people waiting below!"
