After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Ye Qinghuai looked at Lin Yuxiu and said nothing.

After a long time, she suddenly smiled with relief.

With this smile, the invisible mountain pressing on her shoulders seemed to disappear.

"Tribute is one of the main incomes of the inner court. Lin Qing, you are trying to dig into my pocket." She looked at Lin Yuxiu, her expression getting deeper and deeper, "Lin Qing, if it were you, you could deliver these to my door. Is money turned away?"

Lin Yuxiu answered quickly: "Wei Chen can't."

He paused and continued: "Because I am an ordinary person, and Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the father of all peoples."

Ye Qinghuai was stunned for a moment at the unexpected sudden appearance of his horse, and then immediately understood his intention.

Lin Yuxiu promoted her to a high position so that she could not refuse.

Ye Qinghuai smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Qing, I am not a saint, I am also a human being. Just like you, I will have my own likes and dislikes, greed, anger, obsession, resentment, mistakes, and confusion."

Lin Yuxiu responded with silence.

Ye Qinghuai continued to ask: "Why do you think I can do it?"

Lin Yuxiu did not remain silent this time. He frowned slightly and lowered his eyes, not looking at Ye Qinghuai.

"Because if His Majesty can't do it, what should they do with the people who died innocently in the cold and hunger?"

He spoke calmly, but Ye Qinghuai heard an inexplicable despair in his words.

She suddenly thought of Qin Baozhu and the refugees living on the streets.

Yes, who else can they rely on?Who else can make the decision for these people?
She sighed heavily, then wrote an imperial edict to cancel the tribute part of the Longevity Festival.

Not just this year, but every year from now on.

After drafting the edict, Ye Qinghuai looked at the imperial edict in his hand and asked Lin Yuxiu without raising his head: "Lin Qing, I have read the newly compiled "Shun Ping Memorial Collection" and there are no problems. It will be published early next month. "

Lin Yuxiu was stunned for a moment before accepting the order hesitantly. He didn't know why Ye Qinghuai suddenly mentioned this matter.

"It was my own idea to cancel the tribute. If anyone asks why I want you to come to see me today, just say it is about the Shun Ping Memorial Collection."

Ye Qinghuai's eyes still fell on the imperial edict that was about to be announced in his hand. This thin piece of silk paper seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"This is not only my pocket, but also the source of wealth for many people. If you cut off people's wealth, you will be hated." Ye Qinghuai finally raised his head and looked at Lin Yuxiu.

Lin Yuxiu couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Ye Qinghuai said before him: "Lin Yuxiu, you can't bear such hatred now."

Ye Qinghuai's words made Lin Yuxiu's eyes change. He looked at Ye Qinghuai with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to force her to change her mind with his eyes.

But the emperor had obviously made up his mind and had no intention of changing it.

Lin Yuxiu knew very well that Ye Qinghuai was right.

And he had already been prepared to face this day.

From the day he entered the court as an official, he was prepared to become the target of public criticism.However, Ye Qinghuai protected him behind him.

Just like that day outside Chengtian Gate, the emperor pulled him back when he was ready to be martyred, blocked him behind him, and took the knife for him.

Suddenly, Ye Qinghuai's expression turned cold. She looked at Lin Yuxiu and said, "Lin Yuxiu, you have forgotten what I said."

Lin Yuxiu was a little surprised.He quickly ran through the conversation record with the emperor in his mind, and did not find that he had missed any orders.

Seeing Lin Yuxiu's puzzled expression, Ye Qinghuai continued: "I once told you that I cherish you very much, so you should cherish yourself a little. You have forgotten what I said."

After speaking, Ye Qinghuai's expression softened.

Only then did Lin Yuxiu wake up.He only thought it was Ye Qinghuai's polite words to win over the courtiers, but he didn't expect that she would come up with it at this moment.

"His Majesty……"

Just as he was about to defend himself, Ye Qinghuai interrupted him again.She said to Lin Yuxiu seriously: "Because you are the only person in the entire court who dares to question me in a sarcastic tone. Even my husband, Lu Yanchen, does not dare to speak to me like this."

Lin Yuxiu immediately knelt down and said: "I am afraid, please forgive me."

Ye Qinghuai looked at him and did not let him get up. Instead, he smiled with interest and said, "What are you afraid of? I see that you are not afraid."

This is true.Although Lin Yuxiu was kneeling, he did not show any fear. It could be said that he was kneeling calmly.

Ye Qinghuai didn't tease him too much, and quickly said seriously: "Get up, I'm not blaming you. I knew what your temper was when I first saw you in Wenxin Hall, and I appointed you as the The number one scholar, I just don’t mind your temperament. On the contrary, it is precisely because of your presence that I feel at ease in my heart. If there is no such thing as you in this court, I am afraid that I will lose myself in the obedient words of the civil and military officials of the court. To me, you are a mirror that allows me to see myself clearly."

After listening to Ye Qinghuai's heartfelt words, Lin Yuxiu stood up and saluted her, saying sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise."

After finally hearing him say a nice word, Ye Qinghuai felt much relieved. She couldn't help teasing him again: "Lin Qing, I'm actually a little curious. You forced me to cut off my own money and questioned me sternly. Are you serious?" Aren’t you afraid of death?”

A faint smile appeared on Lin Yuxiu's lips, and he replied: "As your Majesty said, your Majesty knew what kind of person I was from the beginning. In this case, when your Majesty was hesitant and wanted to find someone to discuss, he summoned Weichen, it means that your Majesty has actually made a decision in his heart. Your Majesty just needs someone to help you confirm this decision."

Ye Qinghuai was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud.

She originally felt that Lin Yuxiu was too upright. Although he was talented, he would suffer a lot if he was so ignorant of words and emotions in the officialdom, so she wanted to give him a heads up.

Lin Yuxiu's answer made her realize that she was worrying too much.

Yes, he was the number one scholar in Suihe Dynasty. To be able to write such insightful policies and theories, he must be a person who has a lot of insight into the world and people's hearts.

How can such a person be a stupid young boy who doesn't know what to say?
In this court, there may be evil people, upright people, and mediocre people, but there will never be stupid people.

On the third day of October in the third year of Suihe, an edict was issued to the world to cancel the tribute payment during the Wanshou Festival. If the Ministry of Rites and the inner court accepted gifts from courtiers on the grounds of the Wanshou Festival, they would be punished as perverting the edict.

On the day the imperial edict was promulgated, the whole court was in an uproar. Even Li Bao came to express his bitterness to Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai gave him a draft that reduced the regulations on food, clothing, housing and transportation in the harem, which even reduced the emperor's own daily meals and regular clothes.

"Li Baoquan, I'm not too extravagant to ask you to follow me. Thank you for your hard work."

The emperor spoke so sincerely that Li Baoquan had to swallow the bitterness. (End of chapter)
