Chapter 11: Three Wills

Heavenly sound.' 2. "Long live my emperor!" -Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Zhongqing's family...... No rude flat! ”

"Long live thanks!"

Three days later, in the imperial palace and the Qilin Palace, in the passionate worship of the ministers, Liu Xie, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, sat solemnly on the dragon chair, and for the first time as an adult emperor, he governed the dynasty and commanded all the people in the world!

Last night, Liu Xie went to bed in the middle palace, for the sake of the court, he got up on the third watch, with the help of the queen, freshened up, sorted out his clothes, and must show his most powerful and noble posture, for this reason, in addition to the dragon robe, the crown of heaven, and the white jade ......belt, he also hung the green jade axe on his waist to refresh his spirits!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, the descendants are prosperous, and the Han Dynasty will live forever!"

Looking at the little emperor on the dragon chair, the ministers were slightly surprised, and had to admit that women have a magical power, they can turn boys into men, and cowards into heroes.

Today is Liu Xie's first pro-government, and many ministers are secretly looking forward to it, hoping that the little emperor will have an amazing move, use his own ability to conquer the world, and prosper the Han!

After reading the little emperor, the eyes of the ministers turned to Cao Cao again, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty stood on the imperial steps, only one step away from the throne, with a long beard in his hands, his eyes slightly closed, and his demeanor was extremely calm.

The two monarchs and ministers, Weng and son-in-law are opposite, a dragon and tiger fight is just around the corner, who can be superior?

"Tai Changqing, declare my will to the ministers and announce it to the world!" On Liu Xie's imperial case, there are three volumes of Huang Aya's holy decree, which he has thought hard to come up with, as an adult emperor, he wants everyone in the world to know his will!

"Obey the order!"

Taichangqing-Kong Rong took a few steps forward, took the holy decree from the little eunuch, unfolded it gently, and read it out in his loudest voice, "The marriage of the Son of Heaven, the whole world celebrates, the world is amnesty, the prisoners in prison are released, Gu returns to his home, and reunit......es with his relatives."

"Wait, the matter of amnesty, the old man thinks it must not be!" On the royal steps, Cao Cao waved his hand and stopped the holy decree that was being read, "The ancients, the troubled times should be used to re-enforce the code, now the society is turbulent, the world is uneasy, thieves are swarming, and the harm is extremely great...... the government has tried its best to detain these tigers and wolves, if they are easily pardoned, they will inevitably continue to be evil, and the world will not be at peace!" ”

"Wow! ~”

There was a commotion in the hall, and the ministers looked at each other, "My good boy~~, the first will of the Son of Heaven after his pro-government was refuted by the Prime Minister. ”

"What do you think?" Liu Xieqi's little face was flushed, like a flame that he had finally lit, and was poured a basin of cold water, but Cao Cao had been in charge of the government for a long time, and he didn't dare to argue directly, so he had to set his eyes on the ministers, hoping to come out with a few decrees to support him, but unfortunately, he was going to be disappointed~~

Everywhere Liu Xie's eyes went, the ministers bowed their heads one after another, and none of them stood up, even those Han diehards shook their heads and said nothing, not that they didn't want to support the emperor, but that this 'amnesty for the world' decree was really not very clever, and even misguided the country!

In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, when the era of peace and prosperity, all ceremonies such as the new emperor ascending the throne, the canonization of the queen, and the canonization of the crown prince will be amnesty to the world and used to win the hearts of the people, so there is no problem with Liu Xie's will, but he neglected a major premise, now is not a prosperous era, but a troubled era!

Starting from the two emperors of Huan and Ling, the Han dynasty declined, the law was relaxed, and there were countless thieves, especially a Yellow Turban rebellion, which shook the foundation of the empire's rule and led to countless disasters.

"Tai Changqing, promulgate my second will!" Seeing that no one helped, Liu Xie also understood that there was something wrong with the decree, but fortunately, three were prepared, and if two of them could be passed, it would not be too bad!

"Obey the order!"

Kong Rong took another holy decree and read it aloud, compared to just now, the momentum is weaker by more than three points~~ "Your Majesty has a decree, the world is in chaos, the people are suffering, the people of the world are exempted from taxes for three years, and the cultivation is ......"

"Wait, the old man thinks it's impossible to reduce or reduce taxes!" Cao Cao came out again to stop him, and his attitude was very resolute, "Your Majesty cares about the suffering of the people, but he is a benevolent king, but now, the treasury is empty, and if the imperial court wants to levy the ministers and relieve the victims, it needs a lot of money and food, and if it is exempted from taxes, I am afraid that the imperial court will immediately collapse~."

As for Xuzhou, Huainan, and Guanzhong, the disaster relief is effective, and the crops have been harvested, and the money and grain can be collected as usual to make up for the lack of the national treasury! ”

The second decree was rejected again, Liu Xie's face was already blue, his eyes swept away, trying to get the support of the ministers, but unfortunately, the ministers' eyes were more determined, and they all meant the same thing...... Oppose tax deductions!

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, how easy is it to govern a huge country, spending money on wars, disaster relief, building cities, and repairing rivers......

Over the past few years, the court has been careful in budgeting, saving everywhere, breaking a penny in half and spending it, and even the ministers' money does not come out, so they can only take some refined salt home, and many officials have to go to the market to sell it after handling official business~

Life is so miserable, the little emperor has to reduce the world's taxes for three years, you have the reputation of Renjun, the days of the court are still over, as soon as the taxes stop, I am afraid that even the refined salt will not come down, so that the bureaucrats of the world will drink the northwest wind?

For the sake of their own stomachs, for the life of their families, the civil and military officials must also resolutely resist this decree, even if Cao Cao does not speak, they have to kneel on the ground and admonish bitterly, and if they don't work, they will wipe their necks and die, anyway, they will die when they go home, it is better to die in the main hall and have a good reputation of advising the monarch!

"Tai Changqing, promulgate my third decree!" was rejected twice in a row, Liu Xie couldn't sit still, the flame in his heart was dying, so he had to hold the green jade axe on his waist, hoping to get a little courage!

"Obey the order!"

Kong Rong's voice was very weak, and he was interrupted twice in a row, and he had no confidence, but the emperor's order could not be violated, so he had to cheer up and take over the third holy decree~~~ "Your Majesty has a decree, the soldiers of the six armies, the battlefield, the hard work is high, each person is promoted to the first level, the bounty is ten taels, and the silk is two horses......"

The third holy decree is also the one that Liu Xie values the most, as the emperor, he naturally knows the importance of military power, in order to collect the hearts of the soldiers of the six armies, he came up with this method of 'entering the knight', hoping to take back the military power from the hands of the prime minister, the method is good, and the idea is right, is it a pity...... No money!

After listening to the holy decree, Cao Cao did not stand up to refute it, but just smiled faintly, revealing a contemptuous demeanor, such an unrealistic decree, someone would say it for him!

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, there is no way to make ends meet, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers of the six armies, ten gold per person, which is millions, and the ministers are really powerless!"

Shang Shuling-Xun Yu stood up, knelt down on his knees, and pleaded guilty, he was a well-known neutral, and even inclined to the Han family, but the little emperor's decree could not be implemented, he was still like this, the attitude of the civil and military officials can be imagined, "You can't eat enough corn, you still want to eat big fish and meat, dream!" ”

The three holy decrees were all rejected, Liu Xie's little face was full of black lines, his hands and feet trembled slightly, the flame in his heart was completely extinguished, and the imperial qi that was originally aroused also dissipated, and he sat on the dragon chair, like a poor child, lonely, helpless, and lonely!

Looking at the decadent little emperor on the dragon chair, the ministers also sighed, after all, this Han emperor is young and inexperienced, when it comes to the ability to govern the country and the people, it is too far worse than the prime minister, if the Han wants to prosper, it is difficult!

However, after all, the emperor's face should be given, and on the first day of the pro-government, at least a holy decree should be promulgated so that the subjects of the world can hear something!

"Your Majesty's wedding, the inheritance of the temple, the harmony of the people, all the people in the world are happy, and they should be changed, so I think I congratulate!" At the critical moment, the old man was more powerful, and he stood up after serving, gave Liu Xie a move, changed the year name, and regarded it as the pro-government of the Son of Heaven, and Vientiane was updated!

"Good, Aiqing is reasonable, it is the end of the year, it should be changed, and I think it is the congratulations of the world!" Liu Xie was like grasping a life-saving straw and nodded again and again!

After some deliberation, they finally came up with a good-sounding, auspicious, and politically significant New Year's name...... Jian'an!
