Chapter 1175: The Imperial Government in the Imperial Garden
For the old emperor, the palace in his impression is a symbol of grandeur and atmosphere.
He has been living in the palace since he can remember, and his ears and eyes have been rendered since he was a child, so that he has a very clear understanding of the so-called sacred.
It's just that when he saw the palace that Bai Chen had renovated for him, he realized that his idea could be said to be outdated.
In fact, the old emperor has a lot of royal property in his hands, and the silver in his pocket is bulging, let alone one million taels, even if it is one hundred million taels of silver, the old emperor will not have any hesitation.
In his opinion, the million taels of silver were really worth it, looking at the renovated palaces, the old emperor saw it in his eyes, but his heart was extremely proud.
During the renovation of the Jinluan Palace, the court moved to the Imperial Garden.
The civil and military officials were surprised to find that they could not recognize the palace.
Because they can't walk around the palace at will, they usually walk around the palace for ten days and half a month.
However, when they came this time, they found that the palace had completely changed.
Looking at the surprised eyes of the civil and military officials, the old emperor's heart was extremely satisfied.
"Your Majesty, you are still strict with yourself, such extravagance and waste, building a palace is really against the ancestral teachings. ”
The minister jumped out again to express his opinion, but the old emperor glanced at the minister coldly.
"I earned this money myself, and I spent my own money, so can't I spend my own money?"
"But just half a year ago, the palace was renovated, and now it is being renovated. And that's it. I'm afraid it will cost me again...... These are all ......."
The admonitor didn't finish his sentence. Swallowing it back, he wanted to say that these were the people's hard-earned money, but he found that it didn't seem right, the old emperor himself said that it was his own money, and he didn't use the treasury.
If it was before, there would have been no emperor who was so rich.
Of course. There is no dynasty that is as strong and rich as it is today.
It's the best of times, for anyone.
Today's royal assets are enough for the tax revenue of the past few years in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Today's Han and Tang dynasties are really full of gold and opportunities.
And all of this was created by the missing King Pingliao.
Of course, there are some new ministers who don't know the key to this, but some old ministers still know it more clearly.
You must know that there were many people present at the beginning. was also humiliated by that hairy boy.
"What are these? Do you want to interfere with my own money, do you want me to give you all the property, so that you are satisfied?" said the old emperor coldly.
Such a minister is better a lowly minister, no matter what. They must be in the opposite tune.
Bad things are like this, and good things are also like this, at the beginning of the rebellion of the Liao Wang, it was such a counselor who obstructed in every possible way, and missed the best opportunity to exterminate the Liao Wang, which led to the burning of the king to become bigger, and finally the trouble was difficult to clean up.
And every time the military attache proposed to subdue the lost territory and calm the war, these people jumped out again, shouting again and again that the old emperor was desperate and the people were miserable.
Sometimes, the old emperor really wanted to cut them all down.
But this idea is just a casual thought, the old emperor still knows that there must be these people in the court.
Although these people are annoying, they are necessary supervision and supervision.
"If you put this money to good use, you don't know how much wealth and how many jobs you can create. ”
The minister enviously glanced at the new scenery in the imperial garden, and I have to say that the beautiful scenery of this good day is simply unstoppable, all of this is too beautiful, it is simply a paradise.
I couldn't help but think in my heart, after retreating from the court, I must find out which skilled craftsmen are, and also go to my own house to repair and repair.
"It's funny, your mansion is magnificent, and my palace has been renovated for millions of taels, but it has become extravagant and wasteful, do you think that I should live a shabby life, this is a good emperor? Okay...... If you really think so, then I will abdicate, so as not to obstruct your vision. ”
"Your Majesty is angry...... I can't help it......"
If this had gotten out, they would have drowned in the spit of countless people tomorrow.
Just kidding, with the level of development of information today, there is no doubt that this sentence will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.
At that time, it will definitely be written in the newspapers that they, a group of 'traitors', are trying in vain to subvert the government and force the emperor to abdicate.
Now this emperor's status in the hearts of the people, that is, God, is their most admired emperor.
What emperor dares to say that my people are not worried about food and clothing, nor about shelter?
Only this one dares to say that, because he did it.
The people are rich and the country is strong, and it is the first prosperous era in ancient and modern times.
Regardless of whether it was the common people or the courtiers, no one wanted the old emperor to abdicate.
They were afraid that the new emperor would go against the grain and ruin the prosperity that had been built so hard, so they hoped that the old emperor could remain in power, at least for a short time, and they would never allow the old emperor to abdicate.
"Damn it...... The old minister was confused, the old minister didn't mean that. ”
The minister's face was full of bitterness, and he was already guessing in his heart that tomorrow's Beijing Daily would curse him like this, and it was estimated that his old bottom would be taken out and whipped.
"Your Majesty, such a grand scene can be imagined by very many people, I don't know which craftsman made it?" Wei Rufeng took the initiative to help the minister resolve the embarrassment and changed the topic.
A smile suddenly appeared on the old emperor's face: "The scenery in this imperial garden is only the surface, and the real magic is not this picturesque scenery. ”
"Oh, is there a cave here?" Wei Rufeng asked more curiously.
The old emperor took out a remote control, and saw a platform rising in front of the ministers, with a stone door on it.
All the ministers looked at the old emperor suspiciously, not knowing what this platform and the stone gate above were for.
"Everyone, keep your eyes open. Come with me. The old emperor proudly led the way to the end of the stone door.
But. As soon as he walked over, the old emperor disappeared. This frightened the ministers.
Only Lao Wang still looked at the ministers indifferently: "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow Your Majesty over." ”
Wei Rufeng glanced at Lao Wang suspiciously, walked up to the stone platform, and stepped into the stone door in disbelief, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
"Manager Wang, where did Your Majesty and Wei Xiang go?"
"There is a hole in the stone gate, and you will know when you go. Lao Wang smiled and followed Wei Rufeng, stepped into it and disappeared.
At this time, another minister summoned up courage. I stepped in.
One after another, another minister followed, and at this moment, in that small world, all the ministers were glazed-eyed, their faces full of disbelief, and their faces full of surprise and bewilderment.
Are you in a fairyland? Is there a fairy mountain under your feet?
No one dares to believe their eyes, except that magic is magic.
And the old emperor had already expected everyone's reaction, and he was still full of smiles.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"
"The holy blessing must be the means of the immortals. ”
The minister who was still in opposition to the previous one. At this moment, he has changed his attitude, and his face is flattering.
"Your Majesty...... This...... Is this the princess's handiwork?" Wei Rufeng asked in disbelief.
"Except for her. Who else?" the old emperor nodded with a smile, his eyes full of pride and pride.
"This princess is really a god, and she ......," Wei Rufeng said with emotion.
"Your Majesty, I don't know which princess it is? It seems that there is no prince in the capital, right?"
All the ministers began to inquire about which princess it was.
However, the old emperor and Wei Rufeng just looked at each other and smiled, and did not answer everyone's doubts.
"Isn't this the most amazing place, have you ever seen the wind and rain, and the stars are moving?" the old emperor wanted to show very much.
When everyone saw the so-called calling for wind and rain and fighting for the stars, they were even more yearning for the legendary princess, and everyone was stunned by this fairyland-like place.
This is no longer a power that mortals should have, at least not what they know to be a mortal ability.
They couldn't think of anything other than immortal magic.
And this calls for wind and rain, as long as the old emperor holds a metal-like thing and presses it casually, he can change with his own mind.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder in their hearts whether the immortals also controlled the wind and rain, the sun, the moon and the stars in the world in this way.
"What do you think of this?" the old emperor looked at the ministers who were undecided at the moment, and he was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.
"Fairyland, immortal arts! extraordinary! extraordinary...... all the ministers have the same answer, even Wei Rufeng, who has always been old and steady, has to shout magically.
"Then what do you think of this realm being open to the people for a fee?"
"Never...... Your Majesty, this is a miracle given to me by the immortals in the Han and Tang Dynasties, this is a testimony of your grace and grace, how can it be open to the common people?"
"Whether this is a miracle or not, I won't talk about it for the time being, but everything here was made for me by my nephew and daughter-in-law, didn't you say that I was extravagant and wasteful, then I will use this place to charge and earn back those expenses, you have nothing to say." ”
The old emperor has fallen into the eyes of money, Bai Chen made here, to put it bluntly, it is a benefit for the old emperor, it is for him to enjoy, and by the way, to satisfy his vanity.
What he wants to do, Bai Chen won't ask, who knows that the old emperor is actually open to the people and earns benefits by the way.
"Your Majesty, that princess won't have an opinion, right?" Wei Rufeng asked cautiously.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, as long as the princess had no opinion, he also agreed with the old emperor's proposal.
"She has no opinion, she said that everything here is up to me, and I use it privately or openly, as I wish. ”
"Your Majesty, this is the depths of the palace, if civilians are allowed to enter and leave here, I'm afraid the entire palace will be chaotic, right?"
The old emperor waited for these people to ask this question, and he was so showy, as soon as he heard the minister ask this, he immediately came to his senses: "Then you don't have to worry, those commoners can enter the imperial garden, but they can't go anywhere else." (To be continued......)
