I Just Won’t Play by the Book Chapter 207: Fight against the sect
"Long live my emperor, long live long live!"
In the court hall, Baiguan knelt down and shouted in front of Jiang Beiran.
"Flat body."
Hearing the emperor's voice, Baiguan slowly stood up and looked at the emperor. By this look, many sharp-eyed officials were stunned.
"The princess (Princess Mingyue)!?"
I blinked my eyes twice, and after looking at these ministerial doors several times, I was sure that I was right. The one standing behind the emperor was the former princess!
‘Why is the princess here? "'How did the princess become a court lady? ’’What did the emperor intend to bring her up to court? "Wait for a moment, the ministers can't help but think about it, but on the surface, they all stand upright without squinting their eyes, and they can't see the amazement at all.
When the dynasty was full of loyal and patriotic ministers, the dynasty meeting became extremely lively. After all, loyal ministers, head iron is one of their characteristics. Even if they face the emperor, they dare to admonish everything and die at every turn. admonish.
As for the things that these ministers advised, as long as you don't skip the options, Jiang Beiran basically replied, "Just do what Aiqing said." "Aiqing has worked hard." "Aiqing does a good job." "
After all, as an emperor, what he has to do is to entrust all kinds of troubles to capable people, instead of doing everything by him.
So when he has a group of trustworthy ministers, what Jiang Beiran needs to do is to listen to how things are progressing, and to praise some ministers who have made outstanding achievements.
"Your Majesty, the Anmin Order of Wuling County has been implemented, and all the town government offices have posted announcements. I believe that the people in exile will return soon."
Just as Jiang Beiran was about to praise him, he saw two options jump out.
[Option 1: "Ai Qing has worked hard" completion reward: Chain Armor Dandian (Xuan-level top grade)]
[Option 2: "Oh? Wuling County? Is what Aiqing said is true?" Completion reward: random basic skill point +1]
Looking at option two, Jiang Beiran remembered that he had been to Wuling County, where corrupt officials were rampant, prostitution was rampant, and various temples were everywhere. There were only 800 ancestral halls for Jinyang King Liu Yueli. Multiple.
In Shengguo, there are many kings of different surnames, and many of these kings are not the emperor, but the nepotism of many authentic sects.
For example, a child from an ordinary family was found to have a talent for cultivation and went to the sect. After that, the child relied on his talent to be promoted all the way in the sect and became the middle-level leader in the sect.
At this time, he must definitely benefit his family.
Practitioners look down on the court, but the people at the bottom are still willing to be officials. Naturally, the sect will not refuse the small demands of such a rookie.
‘Your father wants to be an official? What's the point of being an official? Just give him a king. ’
How can an authentic sect that doesn't care about the emperor care about a king? Just walk through the process, and in many cases, there will be a new king somewhere without the emperor's knowledge.
And this Jinyang Wang Liuyue is such a existence.
As for the Wuling County officials, why did the Jinyang King Linyue build so many ancestral halls? Is it to respect King Jinyang from the heart? Of course not. The officials just want to exploit the people through frequent sacrifices.
After expropriating the people’s money, the officials would also give out a portion of their honor to King Jinyang, and then after receiving the acquiescence of King Jinyang, they became more unscrupulous, just pile up a few broken stones and dare to say it was an ancestral hall. , And then let the people pay, not pay? That is the crime of disrespect for King Jinyang, great disrespect, kill!
After recalling this Wuling County, Jiang Beiran chose two and asked: "Oh? Wuling County? Is what Aiqing said true?"
[The optional task has been completed, reward: forging +1]
The official was stunned after hearing this. The emperor had just given him all affirmative sentences. How come he has become a questioning sentence?
This made him understand that the emperor was never asking blindly, so he knelt down and said: "The minister deserves ten thousand deaths."
Jiang Beiran frowned and said: "Your life is enough to die. Let's talk, what is going on in Wuling County."
The official did not even dare to lift his head, so he replied: "The officials of Wuling County rely on the shelter of King Jinyang and ignore the court. In recent years, they have rarely followed the instructions issued by the court."
"Then why did you hide this matter just now?" Jiang Beiran asked in a gentle tone.
The official kneeling on the ground was silent for a long time, and finally replied as if he had made some decision: "My Majesty, Wuling County has too many sect forces involved, and the minister is worried..."
"Worry that not only will I not be able to control them, but that I will be harmed by them?"
Listening to the emperor's very plain tone, the official couldn't help shaking.
Seeing that the official didn't reply, Jiang Beiran knew that he had guessed it. However, such an official who feared the evil forces was not removed by the system. It is estimated that it was to lead out the place of Wuling County.
Five fingers tapped on the Dragon case for a while, Jiang Beiran said: "Do you know what crime you committed?"
The official below suddenly trembled more severely, "In response to your majesty, the minister is sincere, just for..."
"What I am asking is what crime you have committed!"
Hearing the emperor's tone strengthened, the officials who felt all over his body replied with a trembling voice: "Wei...the minister committed the crime of deceiving...the emperor."
"Very good." Jiang Beiran nodded, and then scanned the other ministers and said: "Is there any other ministers like Ning Shilang, for the sake of the court, for the sake of my good, so I conceal those who do not report?"
After hearing this, the ministers hurriedly knelt down together. In addition to panic, they also admired the emperor.
They had no idea that the emperor would be so precise and caught the only problematic one from the numerous memorials, which showed that the emperor knew far more than they thought.
In just two months, the new emperor brought them too many surprises.
A large number of treacherous officials and corrupt officials were dismissed by means of thunder, and the court structure was restructured, and the centralization of power was strengthened. In the newly issued decree, the government began to manage the national army.
With this method, many veterans were amazed, and it was hard to believe that the emperor had never been in contact with the court before.
But it’s also that the emperor’s methods were too tough, and he was not afraid of it. No matter who it was, the officials who were stuffed into the court, as long as they were incapable, were all driven back, so they didn’t dare. Punch this matter.
Because no matter what the "Zongmen King" is, it is already an unspoken rule in the court. After all, there are too many **** examples before them.
"It is impossible for the imperial court to fight the sect."
This concept is deeply imprinted in each of them.
They don't want to fight against the sect for the young and energetic new emperor. For one thing, they are afraid of being affected, and secondly, they don't want to lose this rare Ming monarch who is rare in thousands of years.
Looking down in a circle, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "You are all on your knees? Are there any concealment?"
At this time, the lieutenant standing in the front shouted: "The minister begs your majesty to think twice!"
As soon as someone took the lead, other ministers also shouted: "I beg your majesty to think twice!"
Looking at so many loyal ministers and good ministers, Jiang Beiran also understood that it is impossible to erase their fear of the sect in their hearts for a while. Although they deceive the emperor, it has a certain meaning. Above all, Jiang Beiran can also think that they are protecting him in this way.
After all, these ministers still don't know what they came from. It is reasonable to deal with them in this way.
"Retreat." Jiang Beiran looked at Wang Shougui next to him and said.
Wang Shougui was taken aback for a moment, then quickly raised his throat and shouted: "Retreat!!"
In the surprised eyes of the ministers, Jiang Beiran left the Xuan Ting Temple straight away.
Although the ministers were a little confused, they immediately shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
After standing up again, the ministers looked at each other, their faces full of doubts.
Only Shilang Ning gave a long sigh of relief. Since the emperor did not punish him, but directly announced his retreat, at least his life should be saved.
Leaving Xuan Ting Dian all the way to the periphery of the palace, but a kind of minister still dare not communicate what happened just now, because the impression that the emperor suddenly appeared in front of them for the first time was too deep.
After leaving the imperial city all the time, the ministers used their own way, in twos and threes, to discuss what happened today.
Walking on the way to the Temple of Meditation, Jiang Beiran looked at Deng Xianghan behind him and asked: "Have you seen this scene today?"
Deng Xianghan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "I have never seen it before, but I have heard of it."
"The imperial court ever contended with the sect?"
"Yes." Deng Xianghan nodded, "but the final result was not very good."
"How is it not good? Tell me in detail."
The story is not long. The group had already finished talking shortly after they walked back to the study. In short, Deng Bo wanted to show his fists when he first became the throne.
Because, just like Jiang Beiran, before he became the throne, the big brothers of the two realms also said that they would follow him.
This makes Deng Bo full of confidence when he does things.
Soon, he encountered the first thing that was very uncomfortable, and that was that there was a region where taxes were always not collected, which made Deng Bo very uncomfortable.
Under some investigation, he learned that the area was under the jurisdiction of a king who was sealed by the sect. At that time, Deng Bo believed that he had Guan Shi’an as a backer, and he couldn’t control the “king of the sect”. ?
So he asked the Great Sinong to send someone to collect taxes from the land, but all the people sent by the court lost their news.
The furious Deng Bo immediately repaired a book and sent it to Guan Shi'an.
However, this letter looked like a stone sinking into the ocean, and there was no reply.
It wasn't until Deng Bo's unbelievers that he collided with Zongmen again before he finally received Guan Shian's letter.
The meaning of the letter is simple. It means that you can take care of the people who are not covered by the king, and those who are trapped by the king into your own range, you can just open one eye and close one eye.
Hearing this, Jiang Beiran was not surprised at all, and even thought that this was something that Guan Shian would have done.
Because through several conversations, Jiang Beiran knew that Guan Shian really felt that being an emperor was like a joke.
‘I hope that the current Sect Master Guan has a little bit of this consciousness being nurtured by Yin Jianghong, otherwise it’s really hard to handle. ’
Because according to what Deng Xianghan said, this Guan Shian looks like the kind of parent who said to the teacher at the beginning of school, "Teacher, if my child is disobedient, you will beat him to death, it’s okay.".
As a result, the teacher just asked his son to stop for a class, and the parent ran to the school to spray the teacher.
'Neither old man makes you worry...'
After listening to the "story", Jiang Beiran looked at Mu Yao who wanted to speak repeatedly and said: "What do you want to say?"
"No wonder Dad always said that the sect is too corrupt! Listen to this, you can't even stop the sect from oppressing the people, there is no face that prides itself on being upright, really laughs out!"
"So what is your opinion?"
"Find my dad! He will definitely clean up those sects."
"I am smart, let the leader of the demon sect go to clean up the decent sect, then do you say that Sect Master Guan will stand up as the decent master? Or will she stand up as the decent master?"
Kong Qianqian, who was also listening to the side, couldn't help but ask: "My lord, what is the difference between these two sentences?"
Jiang Beiran glanced at her and said, "You should peel me an orange."
"Comply with the purpose." Kong Qianqian ran away after speaking.
Mu Yao, who already understood Jiang Beiran's meaning on the other side, said: "So if Sect Master Guan can't realize the seriousness of this problem, there is no other way?"
But Jiang Beiran fell silent~IndoMTL.com~ did not answer her question.
Jiang Beiran felt that the reason Guan Shian wrote such a letter to Deng Bo at that time was that he really thought it was easy to be an emperor. Secondly, Guan Shian was still Emperor Xuanzang, not what he does now. Strong deterrent.
Then when encountering this kind of problem, he will naturally not turn his face with other sects for a small court.
Now that Guan Shian has been nurtured by Yin Jianghong for so long, his view of the imperial court should be slightly changed. In addition, he is already Xuanzong, and his courage should be much greater than before. He should not be able to kill several sects to kill chickens and monkeys. disagree.
‘But I don’t think it will go so smoothly...’
Taking a breath, Jiang Beiran stepped back and walked into the courtyard on his own, and released the eagle carving that Yin Jianghong had given him.
Because he has one more thing to do before he goes to find Guan Shi'an, and that is that the option [Tell Yin Jianghong to this dialogue afterwards] that it triggered yesterday has not yet been completed.
At the end of the day, Yin Jianghong personally appeared at the entrance of the study, but Jiang Beiran was not too surprised.
Although he has clearly stated the matter in the letter, through the two options he skipped yesterday, Jiang Beiran felt that Yin Jianghong was eavesdropping outside, so he was very concerned about Liang Guo’s The news should be taken seriously.
In the courtyard, looking at Jiang Beiran who came out, Yin Jianghong said: "You are doing a good job, and you have collected the key information so quickly, you are really excellent."
Jiang Beiran smiled and replied: "It's not that I am excellent, but only I will ask about this matter, and the princess is most likely to tell it all."
