Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 31: Become the King! 【For collection, for follow-up】

Great Chu Palace, inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Zhao Yu wears the Yuanyou Crown and Mianfu, sitting on the throne.

Below your Majesty's steps, civil servants and military officials are lined up, with civil officials on the left and military officials on the right.

Standing at the forefront of the civil servants is the current Situ Zhang Kangnian; standing at the forefront of the military officials is the Fuguo General Huang Jingming.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

As soon as Gao Lishi's voice fell, Situ Zhang Kangnian, who was standing at the front, held the wat board, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

"Old Situ, please tell me!"

Zhao Yu's gentle voice echoed throughout the Tai Chi Hall.

Zhao Yu's attitude towards this leader of the neutral faction is still very good.

"Your Majesty is the first to ascend the Great Treasure, and you should bestow kindness on the people and shower nectar on all living beings, so that the guests can be accepted everywhere and the people will return to their hearts. The old minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty to reduce or exempt the taxes of the people all over the world."

Zhang Kangnian said respectfully.

Tax reduction and exemption is basically a routine operation used by all new emperors to win people's hearts after they ascended the throne.

At this time, old Situ pointed out that although Zhao Yu was not surprised, there was an indescribable sense of boredom in his heart.

Originally, in Zhao Yu's plan, the tax reduction and exemption was proposed by himself, so as to win the hearts of the people, but he didn't want Situ Gong to speak first and cut off Hu.

In this way, when the imperial court reduced taxes, the first person to thank was not the imperial court and himself as the emperor, but Zhang Kangnian, the Situ Gong.

The common people only know that the newly enthroned emperor would do this under the initiative of the old Situ.

In the end, most of the credit and popularity fell to Zhang Kangnian alone.

Doesn't this old fox who has gone through three dynasties really know that after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will reduce taxes and win people's hearts?
How can it be!

But he just wanted to grab the credit that originally belonged to me!

how so!

Isn't it because he looks down on me from the bottom of his heart, so much so that he even dares to take the credit that belongs to me!
"Mr. Situ, as I remember, the imperial court's tax is [-] taxes and [-] tax in the [-] prefectures of Dachu?"

Zhao Yu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Zhang Kangnian.

"That's what Your Majesty said."

"That being the case, according to the old Situ's request, I will immediately issue an edict to tell the people of my great Chu that the tax in the world will be reduced from [-] tax to [-] tax, and the tax will be lenient and the tax will be reduced. Let the people rest. In addition, the debts owed by the common people to the government from the beginning of the first year of Huang Feng will be reduced by half."

Zhao Yu nodded and said.

"Your Majesty is really the Son of Benevolence!"

Zhang Kangnian fell to the ground and said loudly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All civil and military officials bowed together.

"Not only that," Zhao Yu waved his hand, and continued, "According to the old practice in the past, I will open up the treasury and reward the troops. General."

"Chen is here!"

Hearing Zhao Yu call his name, Huang Jingming's eyes flashed, and he came out with wat.

"I would like to ask the general to discuss the amount of this reward with Ma Shangshu after he comes down to court, and report it to me as soon as possible."

If Zhao Yu didn't get tax relief, he could only find compensation from other places, that is, reducing the debts of the people and rewarding the troops.

However, in this case, the savings in the national treasury may be consumed a lot.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Huang Jingming's eyes flashed, but he finally bowed and accepted the order.

The little emperor had a good plan and wanted to get a reward to make me fight with Hu Bu.

After talking about the reward, Zhao Yu cleared his throat, got up from the throne, and said seriously:
"I am honored as a great treasure, fortunately thanks to the grace of heaven and the protection of my ancestors, but I can't support myself. If there are no ministers, why would I meet Qing and others in this Tai Chi hall?"

Hearing this sentence, Baiguan's heart was shocked.

Meat show, here we come!
Fortunately for the other three factions, the officials belonging to the general family immediately began to breathe rapidly.

Among them, who doesn't know how the emperor in front of him came to power?
Without our great general, you would still be your young master in Taihe Mansion!

Now, the general situation has been decided, and it is time for His Majesty to fulfill the agreement of that day.

Zhao Yu waved his hand, and Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, understood, took out a roll of yellow silk from his cuff, held it in both hands, and handed it to Zhao Yu respectfully.

As soon as this object came out, the entire Tai Chi Hall suddenly became much brighter.

It was the light reflected from the sun shining on a pair of wide-eyed eyes.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: only govern the world with literature, and fight chaos with military force. The military commander and general are the pillars of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. They are able to have both civil and military skills. If they contribute to serve them, their achievements will be wiped out. By favor. Erfu State General Jing Ming, following the will of Desheng, assists the two masters, internally secures the court, stabilizes people's hearts from hesitation, externally defends against enemies and invaders, and stabilizes the barbaric chaos in the southeast. Zi Te grants you the title of attendant, governor of Chinese and foreign military forces, general of Tianwei, minister of command, Jin Jue Taihe King, who can be praised but not famous, enters the court without tending, and walks on the sword to the palace. It is an honor to be Jiamao. This is my honor! "

Huang Jingming, who was at the forefront, heard the words, his face became serious, he put down the wat board in his hand, bowed down, and kowtowed to Zhao Yu on the throne:

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live long live long live!"

"Wang Taihe please stand up."

Zhao Yu nodded.

Although he had fulfilled everything he had promised Huang Jingming, he still had to think a little bit carefully about making him a prince.

The fief Taihe Mansion given to Huang Jingming is located in Qiyang County on the southeast coast of Dachu. Everyone can understand the customs there, and it can be summed up in seven simple words.

Troubles come out of poor mountains and bad waters.

The reason why Taihe Mansion is called Taihe Mansion is because it is next to Taihe Ridge, the first mountain range in the southeast that stretches for thousands of miles.

There are rich and prosperous state capitals in Dachu, but they must not be taken advantage of by this general!

Then, Gao Lishi took out another imperial edict from his cuff, and read aloud:
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Situ Kang is loyal and upright in his year, proclaims virtue and kindness, observes festivals and friendship, and secures the society. , The salty envoy heard about it, and admired this."

Have mine too?

Hearing the content of the edict, old Situ froze in place, and he didn't react until Gao Lishi reminded him softly.

Suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, Zhang Kangnian knelt tremblingly and kowtowed:
"Old minister, thank Your Majesty Long En! Long live, long live, long live!"

"Gao Lishi, help old Situ get up and give him a seat."

Zhao Yu took everything into his eyes and said with a smile.

Zhang Kangnian is close to eighty years old, and it is estimated that he will retire in two or three years.

For an old minister of his age who is already an extremely talented minister, there are not many things in this world that can attract him, and fame and respect are one of them.

He didn't care about the fief of five hundred households at all, but the new emperor's courtesy and respect for this veteran was enough for him to remember Wu Nei.

Although he knew that the emperor on the throne was just doing this to buy people's hearts, he was still willing to do so.

As the old saying goes, a tree lives like a skin, and a person lives like a face. A half-destroyed veteran like myself only cares about a posthumous name.

Although he also didn't have much affection for this Mr. Situ, in order to win over the neutral faction, Zhao Yu had to pinch his nose to appease him.

After Gao Lishi helped Zhang Kangnian to the grand master's chair that he moved, the awarding continued.

"Jin Wu, Huang Wenbo, dedicated his duties, worked hard and made great achievements... Jia Sanqi is a regular attendant, the commander in front of the palace, named De'anhou, and three hundred households in Jiayi!"

The Dianqian Division is responsible for commanding the imperial guards.

Zhao Yu knew that this official position was extremely critical and could monitor the movements in the palace at all times. If possible, he would definitely want to place someone of his own in this position.

But it is a pity that Huang Jingming will never give up this extremely important official position.

He is single and weak in the court, if the opponent insists on this, he will have to submit in all likelihood in the end.

That being the case, he might as well just let go, act as a favor, and give this official position directly to the other party, so as to avoid future conflicts, and at the same time, try to gain a buffer time as much as possible.

His Majesty Chi, upon hearing this edict, Huang Wenbo felt cold.

The little emperor still had some winks, knowing what he couldn't mess with.

Thinking like this, he walked out of the queue, kowtowed and said:

"My humble servant thanks His Majesty Long En!"

"Wu Yizhi, the military commander's sacrificial wine...is named Doctor Yinqing Guanglu!"

"Conferred the title of General Fan Zhen, the bandit general... as General of the Military Guard, Commander of the Imperial Palace!"

"Fang Chao, General Henghai... as General Zhenbei!"

…………

All of a sudden, everyone under Huang Jingming's command was rewarded, and the voice of "Long Live" kept ringing in the Tai Chi Hall.
