Chapter 241 Decree
The hall was quiet for a long time, Lin Ruofu bowed first and said: "I agree with what Your Majesty said."

Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and Guo Youzhi said so.

"The minister agrees!"

Soon, there was a lot of support, and the voice of opposition seemed to have never appeared before.

Li Chengqian showed a smile, looking quite warm.

"Heroes see the same thing. Since that's the case, you can start preparing after you go down."

The courtiers wiped the sweat stains that appeared on their foreheads, and when they left the palace, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

They were stunned to find that the new emperor who had not yet succeeded to the throne seemed to put more pressure on them than the former Emperor Qing.

Or, resign?
The distance between Nanjing City and Kyoto is almost across the current border of the Qing Kingdom, not to mention, Nanjing City was once the border of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and now it is even closer to the border of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The army is on the side, and a war may break out at any time.

Such a dangerous and unfamiliar place, why run all the way there?

Not to mention that the new emperor is overbearing, they have almost no right to speak above the court.

It's better to go back, it's better to go back!

Many officials looked at each other, vaguely seeing each other's thoughts in each other's eyes.

But they still have scruples in their hearts. Resigning at this moment is afraid that they will lose face to the new king.

Can they really retreat bravely?
You know, their hands are not very clean.

Now that the new king has not dealt with them, it is just that the Qing Kingdom still needs them, but if they resign, they will be of no use to the Qing Kingdom.

For a while, many people were filled with sighs, and they missed the days when Emperor Qing was in power.

……

In the imperial study room, Li Chengqian was writing and drawing on the desk, while Lin Ruofu, Fan Jian, and Chen Pingping stood facing each other.

After a while, Li Chengqian wrote the pen.

"Let's take a look. I roughly wrote down a few points about the relocation of the capital. Specifically, you are responsible for the implementation, and the Prime Minister will take the lead in doing it. I will see results within half a month."

On the side, Eunuch Hou picked up the booklet and handed it to Lin Ruofu.

Although Eunuch Hou had always been Emperor Qing's confidant, Emperor Qing chose to give in, so Eunuch Hou would naturally not resist serving under Li Chengqian.

But for Li Chengqian, Eunuch Hou is in control of the inner court, he is familiar with everything in the palace, and his skill in serving people is also very good, so it doesn't matter if you use it for the time being.

At least, he lived comfortably in the palace these days.

Wait for Gao Lishi to come back from Jianzhou, and then switch.

Lin Ruofu took the notebook and looked at it carefully, his expression changed several times.

Check the population, state-owned land, divide the fields equally, relocate wealthy and powerful people, reduce agricultural taxes, increase commercial taxes, and collect property taxes...

One by one, one by one, the ministers of the court and countless dignitaries were cut off.

Still naked, undisguised.

Seeing the end, even he, who had experienced the storm, couldn't help trembling a little.

If the above policy is implemented, even if it is only within the capital, it will cause an uproar.

The common people may have benefited, but those dignitaries who really wield power will never be willing to stand still.

Even, his entire Lin family might be destroyed by the huge waves.

"Your Majesty, you should be cautious about this matter!"

"Why, the Prime Minister looks like this, are you afraid?"

On the side, seeing this, Chen Pingping directly snatched the notebook from Lin Ruofu's hand.

Looking at it, his complexion also became serious, but the gloomy eyes in the past became brighter and brighter.

After a long while, he handed the notebook to Fan Jian wordlessly.

To make both Lin Ruofu and Chen Pingping behave like this, the content of this book is probably not simple.

Fan Jian looked at it with some curiosity, and soon his expression became serious.

According to what has been said above, even his Fan family will probably be severely stabbed.

Money is enough, the most important thing is that he has foreseen how huge the possible resistance will be.

That would be a revolt from the entire upper class of Kyoto.

However, when his eyes fell on Li Chengqian, who was calm and cold, a wry smile appeared in his heart.

Their Majesty, I am afraid that they will not fear the resistance of these people at all.

Slaughtering the envoys of the temple is like pigs and dogs. How could a ruthless person who could enter the palace alone be afraid of the resistance of those people?
Chen Pingping knelt down suddenly, speaking, when his leg was not healed, he never had to bow down.

But at this moment, he knelt willingly.

"The old minister is willing to do his best to help His Majesty carry out this policy, at all costs!"

Although the stone tablet outside the Overwatch Council was covered with dust, many people in the Overwatch Council, including him, regarded it as their lifelong ideal.

Before, this ideal can be said to be far away.

But now, he sees the possibility of realization.

This is his ideal, and it is also Ye Qingmei's ideal.

Li Chengqian smiled. He knew a long time ago that although Chen Pingping had deep thoughts, she was the one who was most willing to support him.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Pingping stood up involuntarily with a burst of energy.

"Dean Chen doesn't need to be too polite, just do your best. What I wrote is just a direction. The specific implementation rules need to be improved by you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Ruofu.

"The Prime Minister is not willing?"

Lin Ruofu's heart trembled, and only then did he realize that this His Majesty in front of him was not the former Emperor Qing.

Just say the same thing, such a big matter, no refutation is allowed, and there is no room for discussion at all.

"Old minister, yes."

What he said was a little simple, but after he said it, he felt a sense of relief.

Because he is very clear that although these policies are limited to Kyoto in the name of moving the capital, they will definitely spread to the entire Qing Kingdom in the future.

This is a huge change.

And as an executor, regardless of success or failure, he will surely be immortal.

What's more, with this His Majesty around, it would be very difficult to fail.

This is the absolute authority brought by absolute force.

No amount of resistance is just a joke in front of a strong man who can slaughter thousands of cavalry in an instant.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's smile grew warmer.

"Very good, since that's the case, Mr. Lin will lead the matter as Prime Minister, Dean Chen will lead the Overwatch Council, and Fan Shilang will lead the assistant of the Household Department.

Still the same sentence, half a month, I want to see the results! "

After a moment of silence, three voices with different timbres sounded.

"The minister obeys the order."

A vigorous change begins today.

Not long after Lin Ruofu, Chen Pingping, and Fan Jian left, in the cubicle next to the imperial study, Emperor Qing was dressed in a plain white shirt, his complexion looked haggard, but his eyes were still sharp.

"Why do you want to move the capital? You know, if this matter goes wrong, the entire Qing Kingdom will be torn apart!"
