I Just Won’t Play by the Book
Chapter 207: Against the sect
"Long live my emperor long live long live long live!"
On the court, Baiguan knelt down and shouted in front of Jiang Beiran.
"Flat body."
Hearing the emperor's voice, Baiguan slowly stood up and looked at the emperor. At this look, many sharp-eyed officials were stunned.
"Princess (Mingyue Princess)!?"
After blinking his eyes twice, after seeing these ministers several times, he was sure that he was right. The one standing behind the emperor was the former princess!
‘Why is the princess here? "'How did the princess become a court lady? ’’What does the emperor intend to bring her up to court? "Wait for a moment, the ministers can't help but think about it, but on the surface they stand straight, without squinting, and they can't see the shock.
When the dynasty was full of loyal and patriotic ministers, the dynasty meeting became extremely lively. After all, loyal ministers, head iron is one of their characteristics, even if they face the emperor, they dare to admonish everything, and they are always admonishment.
Regarding the things that these ministers advised, as long as you don’t skip the options, Jiang Beiran basically replied, "Just do what Aiqing said." "Aiqing has worked hard." "Aiqing does a good job."
After all, as an emperor, what he has to do is to entrust all kinds of troubles to capable people, instead of doing everything by him.
So when he has a group of trustworthy ministers, what Jiang Beiran needs to do is to listen to how things are progressing, and to praise some ministers who have made outstanding achievements.
"Your Majesty, Wuling County's order for peace and security has been implemented, and all town governments have posted announcements. I believe that the people in exile will return soon."
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to praise him, he saw two options jump out.
[Option 1: "Ai Qing has worked hard" completion reward: Chain Armor Dandian (Xuan-level top grade)]
[Option 2: "Oh? Wuling County? Is what Aiqing said is true?" Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
Looking at option two, Jiang Beiran remembered that he had been to Wuling County, where corrupt officials were rampant, prostitution was rampant, and various temples were everywhere. There were more than 800 ancestral halls for Jinyang King Liu Yueli alone.
In Shengguo, there are many kings with different surnames, and many of these kings are not appointed by the emperor, but are nepotism of many authentic sects.
For example, a child from an ordinary family was found to have a talent for cultivation and went to the sect. After that, the child was promoted all the way through the sect and became the middle-level leader in the sect.
At this time, he would definitely benefit his family.
Practitioners look down on the court, but the people at the bottom are still willing to be officials. Naturally, the sect will not refuse the small demands of such rookies.
‘Your father wants to be an official? What's the point of being an official? Just give him a king. ’
How can an authentic sect that doesn't care about the emperor care about a king? Just walk through the process, and in many cases, there will be a new king somewhere without the emperor's knowledge.
And this Jinyang Wang Liuyue is such a existence.
As for why the Wuling County officials had to build so many ancestral halls for this Jinyang Wang Linyue? Is it to respect King Jinyang from the heart? Of course not. The officials just want to exploit the people through frequent sacrifices.
After exploiting these people’s money, the officials would also show some respect for King Jinyang, and after receiving the acquiescence of King Jinyang, they became even more unscrupulous. They just piled up a few broken stones and dared to say it was an ancestral hall. People pay, but don't pay? That is the crime of disrespect for King Jinyang, great disrespect, kill!
After recalling this Wuling County, Jiang Beiran chose two and asked: "Oh? Wuling County? Is what Aiqing said true?"
[The optional task has been completed, reward: forging +1]
After listening to the official, he was taken aback, and the emperor had just given him all affirmative sentences. How come he became a questioning sentence?
This made him understand that the emperor was never asking blindly, so he knelt down and said: "The minister deserves death."
Jiang Beiran frowned and said, "Your life is enough to die. Let's talk about what happened to Wuling County."
The official did not even dare to lift his head, so he replied: "The officials of Wuling County rely on the shelter of King Jinyang and ignore the court. In recent years, they have rarely followed the instructions issued by the court."
"Then why did you hide this matter just now?" Jiang Beiran asked in a gentle tone.
The official kneeling on the ground remained silent for a long time, and finally replied as if he had made some decision: "My Majesty, Wuling County has too many sect forces involved, and the minister is worried..."
"I'm worried that not only will I not be able to control them, but I will be harmed by them?"
Listening to the emperor's very plain tone, the official couldn't help shaking.
Seeing that the official didn't reply, Jiang Beiran knew that he had guessed it correctly. However, such an official who feared the evil forces was not removed by the system. It is estimated that it was to lead out Wuling County.
Five fingers tapped on the dragon case for a while, and Jiang Beiran said: "Do you know what crime you committed?"
The official below suddenly trembled more severely, "In response to your majesty, the minister is sincere, just for..."
"What I am asking is what crime you have committed!"
Hearing the emperor’s tone strengthened, the official who felt all over his body replied with a trembling voice: "Wei...the minister committed the crime of deceiving...the emperor."
"Very good." Jiang Beiran nodded, then scanned the other ministers and said, "Is there any other minister like Ning Shilang, for the sake of the court, for the sake of me, so conceal those who do not report?"
After hearing this, all the ministers knelt down together, and apart from their panic, they also admired the emperor.
They had no idea that the emperor would be so precise and caught the only problematic one from the numerous memorials, which showed that the emperor knew far more than they thought.
In just two months, the new emperor brought them too many surprises.
A large number of treacherous ministers and corrupt officials were dismissed by thunder means, the court structure was restructured, and the centralization of power was strengthened. In the newly issued government decree, the government began to manage the national army.
Such a method made many veterans amazed, and it was hard to believe that the emperor had never been in contact with the court before.
But it is also because the emperor’s methods were too tough, and he was not afraid of it. No matter who it was, the officials who were stuffed into the court, as long as they were incapable, were all driven back, so they didn’t dare to do this. Pierce.
Because regardless of "Zongmen King", this is already an unspoken rule in the court, after all, there are too many **** examples before them.
"It's impossible for the court to fight the sect."
This concept is deeply imprinted in each of them.
They didn't want to fight against the sect for the young and energetic new emperor. For one thing, they were afraid of being affected, and secondly, they didn't want to lose this rare Mingjun who was rare for a thousand years.
Looking down, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "You are all on your knees? Are there any concealment?"
At this time, the lieutenant standing at the forefront shouted: "I beg your Majesty to think twice!
As soon as someone took the lead, other ministers also shouted: "The ministers and others ask your majesty to think twice!"
Seeing so many loyal ministers and good ministers "dead advice" together, Jiang Beiran also understood that it is impossible to erase their fear of the sect in their hearts for a while. Although they deceive the emperor, in a sense, Jiang Beiran can also think that they are protecting him in this way.
After all, these ministers still don't know where they came from, and it is reasonable to deal with them in this way.
"Retreat." Jiang Beiran looked at Wang Shougui next to him and said.
Wang Shougui was taken aback for a moment, then quickly raised his throat and shouted, "Retreat!!"
In the surprised eyes of the ministers, Jiang Beiran left the Xuanting Temple straight away.
Although the ministers were a little confused, they immediately shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
After standing up again, all the ministers looked at each other, their faces full of doubts.
Only Shi Lang Ning breathed a long sigh of relief. Since the emperor did not punish him, but directly announced his retreat, at least his life should be saved.
Leaving Xuanting Hall all the way to the periphery of the palace, a kind of minister still dare not communicate what happened just now, because the impression that the emperor suddenly appeared in front of them for the first time was too deep.
After leaving the imperial city, the ministers used their own way, in twos and threes, to discuss what happened today.
Walking on the way to the Temple of Meditation, Jiang Beiran looked at Deng Xianghan behind him and asked: "Have you seen this scene today?"
Deng Xianghan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "I have never seen it before, but I have heard of it."
"The court ever contended with the sect?"
"Yes." Deng Xianghan nodded, "but the final result was not very good."
"What's wrong, tell me in detail."
The story is not long, and the group finished it shortly after they walked back to the study. In short, Deng Bo wanted to make a big splash when he became the throne.
Because just like Jiang Beiran, before he became the throne, the big brothers of the two realms also said that they would follow him.
This makes Deng Bo full of confidence in doing things.
Soon, he encountered the first thing that was very uncomfortable, and that was that there was a region where taxes were always not collected, which made Deng Bo very uncomfortable.
After some investigation, he learned that the area was under the jurisdiction of a king of the sect. At that time, Deng Bo believed that he had Guan Shi'an as a backer. What "king of the sect" he couldn't control?
So he asked the Great Sinong to send someone to collect taxes from the land, but the people sent by the court lost no news.
Furious Deng Bo immediately repaired a book and sent it to Guan Shi'an.
However, this letter seemed to fall into the sea, and there was no reply for a long time.
It was not until Deng Bo had another collision with Zongmen who did not believe in evil before he finally received Guan Shian's letter.
The meaning of the letter is simple. It means that you can take care of the people who are not covered by the king, and those who are trapped by the king within your own range, you can just open one eye and close one eye.
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran was not surprised at all, and even thought that this was something that Guan Shian would have done.
Because through several conversations, Jiang Beiran knew that Guan Shian really felt that being an emperor was like a joke.
‘I hope that the current Sect Master Guan has been nurtured by Yin Jianghong a little bit of this consciousness, otherwise it’s really hard to handle. ’
Because according to what Deng Xianghan said, this Guan Shian looks like the kind of parents who said to the teacher at the beginning of school, "Teacher, if my child is not obedient, you will beat him to death, it doesn't matter.".
As a result, the teacher just asked his son to stop for a class, and the parent ran to the school to spray the teacher.
"The two old men don't make people worry..."
After listening to the "story", Jiang Beiran looked at Mu Yao who wanted to speak repeatedly and said, "What do you have to say?"
"No wonder Dad always said that the sect is too corrupt! Listen to this, you can't even stop the sect from oppressing the people, there is no face that prides itself on being upright, really laughs out!"
"So what's your opinion?"
"Find my dad! He will definitely clean up those sects."
"I am smart, let the leader of the demon cult to clean up the decent sect, then do you say that Sect Master Guan will stand up as the decent master? Or will she stand up as the decent master?"
Kong Qianqian, who was also listening to the side, couldn't help asking: "My lord, what is the difference between these two sentences?"
Jiang Beiran glanced at her and said, "You should peel me an orange."
"Zunzhi." Kong Qianqian ran away after speaking.
Mu Yao, who already understood Jiang Beiran's meaning on the other side, said: "So if Sect Master Guan can't realize the seriousness of this problem, there is no other way?"
But Jiang Beiran fell silent~lightnovelpub.net~ did not answer her question.
Jiang Beiran felt that the reason Guan Shi'an would write such a letter to Deng Bo at that time was that he really thought it was easy to be an emperor. Secondly, Guan Shi'an was still the emperor, and did not have the strong deterrence now. force.
Then when encountering this kind of problem, he naturally wouldn't turn his face with other sects for a small court.
Now that Guan Shi'an has been nurtured by Yin Jianghong for so long, his view of the court should have changed slightly. In addition, he is already Xuanzong, and his courage should be much greater than before. He should not disagree with the killing of several orthodox schools.
"But I always think it won't go so smoothly..."
Taking a breath, Jiang Beiran stepped back and walked into the courtyard on his own, and released the eagle sculpture that Yin Jianghong gave him.
Because he had one more thing to do before he went to find Guan Shi'an, and that was the option of [Tell Yin Jianghong to this dialogue afterwards] that it triggered yesterday.
Then, before the time came, Yin Jianghong personally appeared at the entrance of the study, but Jiang Beiran was not too surprised.
Although he had already written the matter very clearly in the letter, but through the two options that jumped yesterday, Jiang Beiran felt that Yin Jianghong was eavesdropping outside, so he should have heard the news of Liang Guo. Very important.
In the courtyard, looking at Jiang Beiran who came out, Yin Jianghong said: "You are doing a good job, and you got the key information out so quickly. You are really excellent."
Jiang Beiran smiled and replied: "It's not that I am excellent, but only if I ask about this matter, the princess is most likely to tell it all."
