Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 1505 New Dynasty and New Deal
"Long live the wise..."

"Long live the wise!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

After the third prince finished his oath, there was silence around him. No one thought that the third prince would say such a thing.

The people at the bottom want to come, even if they are wise monarchs, they still have to enjoy privileges, otherwise, who would want to be emperor.

When the emperor is not to enjoy the blessings, is it to suffer?

A good emperor, on the basis of enjoying privileges, can still care about the people and do more things for the people. This is already an extremely wise monarch.

However, the content engraved on this Buddha commandment stone completely deprived the royal family of its privileges.

I have no enjoyment, no privileges, and I have to do a lot of things for the people. To manage the country well, I have to be responsible for the people and the country. If I am not careless, I may violate the scope that is not allowed by the Buddha's precepts.

Such a prince will not only have to work hard, but also walk on thin ice. It is definitely not a good job!

Even those ministers couldn't help being secretly surprised when they saw such Buddha's commandments.

Although the commandments are all aimed at the Great Xia royal family and the emperor, they also involve ministers.

Among them, "clear government officials, severely punish corruption, put an end to fish and meat, strictly enforce rewards and punishments, and put an end to..."

All this involved the ministers in the court, that is to say, Buddha Jie thrust a butcher's knife into the hands of the third prince abruptly, and the butcher's knife was aimed at ministers who might violate the laws of the country.

Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and secretly became vigilant in their hearts.

These ministers have been in the officialdom for a long time. Although they are more virtuous than many ministers, some official habits and rules have been deeply ingrained.

As servants of the dragon, some of them have even begun to secretly guess what position and reward the third prince will give him after he succeeds to the throne.

Once they stepped from ordinary courtiers to the ranks of the court's important officials, they were considered to be prosperous and successful in their official careers. Some people began to think about how high they would promote their nephews and brothers.

And these, among them, the future court officials, are definitely not difficult.

But now, some of them are starting to wake up.

The third prince is so cruel to himself, let alone others, a monarch who swears such a heavy oath, a monarch who allows the people to rebel, what else can he be soft on.

Sure enough, when everyone was full of thoughts, the third prince spoke again.

"This stone is placed here, and it is strictly guarded and protected by the city army. It is cultivated in the Buddha's Commandment Pavilion, and it is protected from wind and rain. It is wiped every day and must not be dirty. All my people, soldiers, and ministers have the right to observe it. Under the constraints of the commandments, Qin Feng put the ugly words first, if you want to have privileges, don’t be an official, if you want to be an official, you must do the truth for the people, otherwise, the monarch and his ministers can’t do it, brothers can’t do it, and even the whole ghoul It can’t be done. If you can abide by the commandments, cultivate yourself, and benefit the common people, then the common people will remember you, the great summer will remember you, and the ancient history will remember you. The sky has eyes, and the Buddha will also remember you. Afterlife!"

"Yes, follow His Highness's warning, and Buddha's warning!"

The ministers' hearts trembled again, and they all replied in deep voices.

In just this moment, many of them have completely changed. They were completely shocked, and some of the small thoughts that existed in the past disappeared.

"Respectfully invite the third prince to succeed to the throne, and attend the grand ceremony!"

At this time, the minister surnamed Gu began to react, looked at Concubine Rong, saw Concubine Rong nodded, and said loudly.

"Okay, let's start!"

The third prince nodded calmly: "Okay, let's start now!"

"Open...start..."

The minister surnamed Gu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and even stuttered when he spoke.

"Your Highness, you need to ascend the throne in the imperial palace, not here. You need to bathe and change clothes, and go to the Taimiao to burn incense and sacrifice to the former emperor."

A minister immediately left the class and explained to the third prince.

What they meant was to urge the third prince to return to the imperial city to hold the enthronement ceremony immediately, but they didn't plan to hold the ceremony here.

But the third prince shook his head and said: "In the new dynasty of the Great Xia, without taking a bath, he succeeded to the throne with the blood of the battlefield, without offering sacrifices to the ancestors, everything is a new look, and it has nothing to do with saying goodbye to the old. What I Qin Feng said The ideas and policies implemented will be completely different from before, and ancestor worship will be avoided. Because of the seriousness of being listed as the first emperor, Qin Feng may be an unfilial descendant, but I just want the people of Daxia to be satisfied."

The words that the third prince said were resounding.

Immediately there was a burst of cheers.

That was the cheers from the common people and sergeants nearby.

Regardless of what the third prince will do in the future, what he said just now is enough to prove his determination and courage.

Such a wise monarch is definitely worthy of the support of the soldiers and people of Daxia.

"Let's do it here, the rest of the etiquette is omitted, just take the bead crown."

At this time, Concubine Rong had changed her mind and decided to support her son's proposal. She said softly to the ministers, and then waved lightly to the eunuchs around her.

The eunuchs immediately got on their horses and ran towards the city to get the beaded crown.

Taking advantage of this time, the third prince stepped up to the high platform again, looked around the people and said, "Although these words were said a little early, it's okay to talk about it now. After Qin Feng came to power, Daxia's taxes only took one Twenty percent of a thousand!"

The third prince's words were very sudden and caught people off guard.

He didn't even discuss it with those ministers, so he gave the order directly.

"Long live, long live the emperor..."

"Long live Shengming..."

Hearing these words, all the common people fell to their knees.

The news was so shocking that people could hardly believe it was true.

Originally they thought that even if the third prince ascended the throne, even if benevolent government was implemented, at most they would lose two or three percent of their age endowments, and that would be a happy situation for everyone.

Without the layer upon layer of exploitation by the government, life would naturally be much better.

However, no one thought that when the third prince opened his mouth, he would lose [-]% of his age endowment and only keep [-]%.

In this case, it would be much better than that simple, and you could even have enough food and clothing, and live a happy life.

How can such a national policy not make people happy.

How could such a prince not be worthy of kneeling and thanking him?
Before everyone finished cheering, the third prince on the high platform said again: "After Qin Feng ascended the throne, [-]% of the soldiers will be disarmed and returned to the fields, and they will be exempted from the annual tax for life. The salary of the soldiers in service will be doubled, and will never be in arrears, deducted or reduced. No change of form, all cash will be distributed!"
