There are many ways to call a reigning emperor.
When addressing someone in person, it should show that the imperial authority is unique and that those with extremely high status can address you as Your Majesty.
To show your awe, you can call the emperor.
If you want to express your admiration and flatter him at the same time, His Majesty is also a good choice.
If he were more shameless and humbled himself to the dust, he would still be called master.
These titles are all used by people, and various people express their loyalty in various ways.
But these are not as good as a "husband".
Putting aside the false name, this represents the most real connection and closeness of interests between each other. It is like marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog. It is a grasshopper on the same rope. It has been cultivated for a hundred years to cross the same boat, and it has been cultivated for a thousand years to sleep together. fate.
There was no one else around, and the sound of my husband seemed to bring everything closer.
The new emperor, who was frowning in thought, raised his head. In fact, he knew it was Lin Xiaoyi without looking at him, because only Lin Xiaoyi dared to call him that now.
However, he still had a smile on his face, nodded slightly and said, "I do have a headache."
Lin Xiaoyi walked to him gracefully, bent down and knelt down, stretched out her still white and delicate little hands, and smoothed away the new emperor's frown, her gentle voice was like a cup of summer wine. Liang Shui said in a comforting way: "No matter how busy you are with state affairs, you should also pay attention to rest."
There was a hint of bitterness on the new emperor's face, but looking at Lin Xiaoyi who was gentle and considerate and not competitive, it was really hard to vent his temper on her.
After all, she still had an old friend who was a martial arts master, and she also recognized Mr. Ji as her grandfather.
However, the good news is that her parents are no longer here, and all her relatives combined cannot have even the slightest impact on the court. From this point of view, this empress, who is the mother of the world, does indeed rely on his momentum. .
It is truly a case of both prosperity and loss.
There are many things that are inconvenient to say to outsiders, but it is okay to tell her. After all, even if she knows, she cannot interfere in the temple at all.
"I would like to rest. But that's not possible, Daqing, Dayue, Daqi, Dayong. This time it's for real!" The new emperor pointed at the memorial in front of him, his face was gloomy and his voice was cold.
The temple can naturally receive the news from Yuzhou.
This four-nation coalition expedition used the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Daqing as a hook to seduce the border generals. Zhang Qihan, the domestic god of war, was greedy for a while and actually wanted to finish his work in one battle. He was directly trapped and caught in the urn!
There were hundreds of thousands of frontier soldiers, but only a few thousand of them escaped in the end!
Not to mention, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations did not give them any time to react, and directly pressed forward with their entire army. Zhang Qihan, who finally managed to escape, fought for his life at the Xiongguan Pass in Yuzhou, but was eventually defeated by the Allied Forces and died in the city. .
Next came the news of the massacre of the city.
The war is fierce and the country is in danger. This is no lie!
No matter how vast the moon is, if it wants to pit one country against four countries, even when it is the most powerful, it cannot do so.
Not to mention that the territory of Dayue is full of wars and rebels!
The Huang Dynasty in the land of Yangzhou, the White Lotus Sect in the land of Yuzhou, and Mo Qiu who killed Emperor Zongming and is now unknown to where he is. As well as countless careerists who are not even worthy of mentioning their names, are fighting in this battle with blood and fire. On the stage, you compete with each other and complement each other!
Regardless of the facts, Otsuki does have a sense of beauty at this time that there are many heroes.
The problem is, you are trying to dismantle my family business! ! !
This is my kingdom!
Therefore, every time he received a memorial from various places, the new emperor had a headache, and it became more and more painful.
He has indeed succeeded in becoming a great treasure, but he can no longer be like his father, who doesn't care about anything and can be leisurely and happy alone without having to go to court.
Emperor Zongming has almost brought disaster to this huge country.
In fact, Emperor Zongming was right. A mere Wanshou Immortal Palace was nothing more than hundreds of thousands of corvees. It took more than ten years of hard work. With so many people, what's the point of giving him some consumables to spend?
Wouldn’t it be enough to completely wipe out Oyue!
What really caused all this was the unbridled growth of powerful evil gentry and subordinate clans among the people after more than twenty years of absence from the court. When the emperor dared to let go of his own desires, the people below naturally knew how to follow suit. And it doesn’t even require a tiny bit of dough.
Birthday plans are given again and again, auspiciousness is offered again and again, and rare treasures are searched again and again. The giants of the past have long been hollowed out of flesh and blood and have begun to dig their own graves.
All these things accumulated and turned into deadly straw, pressing down on the Dayue Dynasty bit by bit.
When those common people who did not deserve to be mentioned contributed everything they could, even their lives, the outcome was already determined.
The four-nation coalition was the last straw that allowed this huge country to reveal its true colors.
Mo Qiu's killing of the emperor was like a fire that ignited all the straw, telling everyone in the world that this country should be declared over!
The new emperor who sat on the throne at this time had to face the extremely cold reality before he had time to enjoy the power of ruling the world.
What a difficult word!
The Dayue Imperial Family can still survive now because the territory is large enough and the war has not yet broken out.
Thinking of all this, the bitterness on the new emperor's face became more intense. How could the throne he so longed for become like this when it came to him?
rest?
Of course he also wants to rest, but how to rest?
The war was defeated, and rebels and traitors rose up. How can we sit in peace and dream of Huangliang?
"Husband, although the Allied Forces of the Four Nations are unstoppable, we, Oyue, are not necessarily unable to cope with it. Can't we temporarily mobilize one or two border troops from various places?"
Lin Xiaoyi looked optimistic and immediately came up with a 'good idea'.
The new emperor glanced at her, how could a woman know anything about war? This is not a child's play!
"The Allied Forces of the Four Nations chose Yuzhou to attack because they had a plan to trap and kill 100,000 frontier soldiers, and also because after Yuzhou, the troops could go straight to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is rich, and once it falls, taxes will be greatly reduced! And the border troops will be greatly reduced! But the army cannot be mobilized, the four countries just chose Yuzhou as the main attack, and other places are also preparing their troops and preparing for attack!"
The new emperor said helplessly, not so much explaining to Lin Xiaoyi, but rather taking the opportunity to vent his frustration.
The war is not a single thread. If you choose other places in Yuzhou, you can't fight.
The reason why there is no large-scale battle is just a pretense, in order to prevent your border troops from taking a step away. If there is any deviation, the original pretense will immediately turn into a tiger and wolf state, and it may be even worse!
"So this is ah!"
Lin Xiaoyi nodded in understanding, looked at the new emperor with admiring eyes, and admonished again: "How about recruiting civilians, training soldiers, and then sending them to Yuzhou to meet the enemy?"
"Recruiting civilians, training soldiers, and distributing armor all require money."
The new emperor looked at her with a faint look. If Dayue still had money left, would it be so difficult for him?
We can't just tear down every brick and tile of the newly built Wanshou Immortal Palace and distribute it to the soldiers as military food and military expenses, right?
He really wants to do this, and the soldiers must be willing to accept it!
Nowadays, money and food are needed everywhere. No one has more or less, only one has more!
Now Otsuki is trapped in an endless loop.
Without redeploying civilians and increasing taxes, it would be impossible to deal with the four-nation coalition forces and rebels from all over the country.
But by transferring civilian husbands and increasing taxes, the anti-thief forces in various places will increase greatly. Maybe many of the civilian husbands who have been transferred will raise their arms!
In order to prevent this situation, and cannot forcibly transfer civilians to increase taxes, but can transfer civilians without increasing taxes, what should the Four-Nation Alliance do?
Does he not want to choose?
He had no choice!
Whoever sits in his position at this time, can he still find a proper way?
You can't join the rebels, drag a stone man from the river, and just shout "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here", right?
"It turns out that my husband is worried about money!"
Lin Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, and she had an expression of "I understand" on her face. She looked like a dog-headed military counselor who was very interested, and remonstrated again: "In this case, I am not as good as my husband."
She stretched out her white, slender, well-maintained hands, put her four fingers together, slightly bent her thumb, and waved downwards!
The meaning is self-evident.
The new emperor watched this beautiful and lovely wife trying hard to give him advice, and was also amused by her appearance.
Although Xiaoyi didn't know anything about the temple, her heart was undoubtedly towards him.
Although the ideas I came up with are all from a woman's point of view, they are sincere and can't be more appropriate.
Although it is not feasible, the temperature remains.
"No, my father has already done this once. Now that I have just ascended the throne, although I want to establish my authority, it is inconvenient to cause too many killings. What's more, the outside world is already unstable and it is difficult for me to make any big moves again. .”
The new emperor shook his head, but did not reprimand her for being so bold.
When the prince rebelled, Emperor Zong Ming took the opportunity and ordered the Jin Yiwei to kill everyone. Their heads were rolling and blood flowed like rivers. The pigs had already been slaughtered once!
What's left untouched is that it's really hard to do anything again, not to mention that the external situation is extremely bad now. If we continue to play this game, there may be people who are evil and courageous, and they dare to make the sun and the moon change the sky.
"This won't work, that's not good either. So how can we raise money? We can't demolish the palace, right?"
Lin Xiaoyi's eyebrows also wrinkled together, as if she felt the troubles her husband was facing, and she actually looked a little angry.
Seeing her like this, the new emperor laughed again and said jokingly: "Did you forget? The palace has already been demolished once!"
"What?"
Lin Xiaoyi stared, confused.
"It's your old friend's courtyard gate! Or did you say that you wanted to express your feelings to me, so you insisted on tearing down the door of Yangxin Hall and giving it to him as a courtyard gate, and you even forgot about it yourself?"
The new emperor pretended to be angry, and began to wander around Lin Xiaoyi's body dishonestly with one hand, pinching him here and there.
I'm so tired from trying to be Mingjun, my brain is about to burn out, so I should find a way to have some fun for myself.
"Husband."
Lin Xiaoyi squeaked slightly, pressed the new emperor's dishonest palm, and said with great sincerity: "I'm helping you solve your problems!"
"Who said this is not a solution to problems? My queen is so considerate, I feel so relieved, and I should be rewarded. How about giving birth to a dragon son for me?"
The new emperor raised his eyebrows, and his eyes changed as he looked at her.
"Oh, don't make trouble yet. Xiaoyi thought of another good idea, this time it will definitely solve the problem of insufficient money!" Lin Xiaoyi clenched her fists and said in a particularly excited tone.
"Oh? Then you tell me."
The new emperor buried his head in it, his tone slightly unclear, "I'm listening."
"Since it's not easy to kill and collect, why not ask the officials to collect some guilt money?" Lin Xiaoyi gently placed her palm on the back of the new emperor's head and said softly.
His words were soft, but his clear almond-shaped eyes were as deep as the sea.
"Sin silver? What is that?"
The new emperor was startled, and finally picked up other interests, and stuck his head out to ask.
"Based on the size of the crime, money is spent to atone for the crime, and it is used on the civil and military officials. It's called crime money!" Lin Xiaoyi said seriously.
In fact, this is not a brilliant idea. As long as you walk around among the people, it is not difficult to know that there is something called "protection fee".
Of course, the situation in different places is different, and the names are also slightly surprising.
The only thing that is not lacking is local snakes who want to collect money.
The only difference between the protection fee and the crime settlement fee is that one collects the money from ordinary people and gives it to local snakes; the other collects civil and military officials and gives it to the emperor.
"How much money can you charge? Besides, if you continue to charge like this, wouldn't it tell all officials that they can do evil as they please!" The new emperor understood as soon as he heard this and shook his head immediately.
"Husband, even if you don't accept the crime money, won't those officials who want to do evil stop doing evil? Now that our country is in crisis, we have to take this step. It is also Xiaoyi's womanly opinion and has nothing to do with you. of."
Lin Xiaoyi held the new emperor's hand and continued with extra thoughtfulness: "As for you saying that the money is not much, that's not necessarily true! Xiaoyi has been walking outside the palace these days, but she has heard that the court is not paying enough. Young ministers and senior ministers have numerous mansions and fertile land in their hometowns!
The husbands of these people are not easy to move, but they can punish them. This crime discussion is not just for pleasure, it should be a matter of state! Even if future generations talk about it, they should be able to understand the husband's difficulties for Da Yue. How could anyone dare to criticize him harshly? "
Xiaoyi just stood up and stopped talking too much.
The new emperor was stunned, and his frown unknowingly relaxed.
This statement is very suitable for him!
After Emperor Zongming passed away, he buried his father first and then ascended the throne. In order not to make his appearance too ugly, he even decided to give the reign name next year. This year, he can still use Zongming's thirty-seventh year.
Under the same balance, he had not yet had time to start purging the temples. Many old and important ministers were not suitable for killing people just after taking office.
Lin Xiaoyi's suggestion inspired him a lot!
Who said you have to send people to arrest and torture officials?
Let those bastards fight on their own in the name of criminal justice!
Those who refuse to give it are questioning their innocence and waiting for impeachment!
If you pay less, if you conceal the crime, you will get a higher penalty if you turn around!
You have given a lot, and at this time of national crisis, you have dedicated money to the country and the people, and it is natural that you will not be guilty of any crime!
Besides, this idea came from Lin Xiaoyi. What does it have to do with the wise and martial man? !
Everything is just for Otsuki!
It is said that a wise man will make a mistake after a thousand worries, and a fool will gain after a thousand worries. This is true!
Even women can come up with good ideas occasionally!
"Okay, okay!!!"
After saying three good words in a row, the new emperor, who was inspired by Lin Xiaoyi, seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and felt that countless clever ideas had come to his mind.
Killing Princess Ying was the right thing to do at the beginning. How could that unruly woman be as considerate and considerate as Xiaoyi, who knew how to share worries for the country?
If this method is used well, he might be able to make another fortune and add it to his own funds!
The problems that originally troubled him were solved by this seemingly ordinary method!
My officials!
Your sin is very great.
Need more money!
