Chapter 325 The main system can also be given away for free
System: [You probably aren't very happy. Because your brother didn't adopt the idea of collecting more taxes, and proposed another suggestion, which is to collect the administrative power of the princes and kings. Officials above the fourth rank in the princes and kings' territories must be appointed by the central government...]
Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Ah?! Brother, this move is very fierce! ]
System: [In fact, I think your brother was quite tactful. He just took away the administrative power of the princes and officials. This seems to be a big restriction... Well, it is relatively large. But the emperor is far away. If the princes really want to get close to a ninth-rank official and give power to the eunuchs, how can your brother know everything?! To be honest, your brother has been very gentle by not taking away the fiefs of the princes! ]
At this time, the emperor's attention slowly fell on the system.
Wu Yi was also surprised by the system's words. Regardless of whether it was gentle or not, this system really understood His Majesty.
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [After all their fiefs were confiscated, can they still be called dukes and kings? 】
System: [Ah Ruan, have you forgotten? In the Ming Dynasty, the princes did not have fiefdoms or administrative powers. Land, population, and yes, administrative power, etc., were not owned by the princes. Although they also had armies, their real fiefdoms were only a city.]
Yuanruan remembered that this was also the reason why the Ming Dynasty did not issue the Enfeoffment Order, because there was no need.
She nodded repeatedly: [Ah, yes, yes. ]
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something.
Wu Yi was very surprised. How could the princes and grandchildren of the emperor be willing to do this when they had no rights at all?!
System: [Anyway, there are many officials who have opinions about your brother. They talk to your brother openly or secretly, probably to make him unhappy. Let me say, these people are ignorant...even worse than tyrants.]
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [What do you mean worse than a tyrant? Brother is better than them. But brother is really hard-working, no wonder he was so silent just now. ]
She gave the emperor a sweet smile, put her chubby hands on the emperor's neck and gently pinched it: "Father, father, let me pinch you!"
The emperor paused, then gently pinched Yuan's soft and chubby cheeks with his fingers, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The emperor glanced at Wu Yi and said, "Get up."
Wu Yi stood up immediately.
The emperor held Yuanruan in his arms and walked towards the snowman he had made before. He also made a small snowman and suddenly asked, "Which snowman does Jiuer like best?"
Yuan soft one pause.
Why does this question feel like a death sentence?
Yuan Ruan rolled his eyes, pointed at the snowmen in front of him one by one, and said, "I like them all. They are all beautiful."
The emperor said nothing.
Wu Yi's head drooped even lower.
At this time, Yuanruan pointed at the snowman he made and said proudly, "I like it the most. I made it myself."
After saying that, Yuan Ruan held his little snowman and tried to get closer to the emperor, and asked in all seriousness: "Which little snowman do you like best, father?"
This question made Wu Yi silent.
"Hahaha..." The emperor suddenly laughed heartily, and held Yuanruan's soft little hand with his big, thick hand. "Of course I like the little snowman made by Jiuer the most. Come on, go inside, don't freeze."
Wu Yi sighed softly and followed him in.
The emperor carried Yuanruan into the inner room and found a large sand table that was two meters long and wide. No, it can't be called a sand table, it should be called a perfect topographic map.
The emperor was secretly shocked and could not help but take two quick steps. He first looked at Yuan Ruan who was pretending to be stupid, and then naturally found an excuse.
The emperor looked at Wu Yi and asked, "Is this the gift you brought for Jiuer?"
Wu Yi was speechless for a moment: Your Majesty, your excuse is too smooth. But Your Majesty, you really guessed it right, because this was the reward given by the system task after he helped Yuanruan to complete the task of pinching the small snowball.
So Wu Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not say that."
Yuan Ruan tensed up: [Tong'er, you used the male mother's gift to bring the reward, this... has a loophole. The male mother has no impression. ]
System: [Ah Ruan, don’t worry. If it really doesn’t work, I can give the boy’s mother some high-tech equipment and he will accept it.]
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
Wu Yi's heart tightened, and he said quickly: "The gift given to the Imperial Master this time is the treasure brought out after looting the Xiongnu capital. I checked it at first and didn't find this treasure. So maybe it was a New Year's gift from God to the young Imperial Master through me."
The emperor hummed.
System: [The man’s mother is so roundabout. Why not just say that he gave it to me? ]
Yuan Ruan: [It may be because this reward is special. Tong'er, look, your sandbox is an almost perfect high-precision map, in other words, a powerful strategic-level weapon. My mother gave it to me to play with but not to my brother... If he really said that, my brother would definitely beat him up. It's better to use the excuse that it was God's hand. ]
System: [That makes sense. After all, Ah Ruan has performed so many miracles. Your brother probably won't ask too many questions after hearing this. Fortunately, otherwise I would have to give him some high-tech help.]
Yuan Ruan couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Tong'er, you mentioned twice that we need to use some high-tech technology. What is it?"
System: [It is memory erasure. However, this is my first time using it, so perhaps too much memory will be erased.]
Yuanruan: [How much can be eliminated at most? ]
The system hesitated for a moment: [Infant period? Brain is blank?]
emperor:……
Wu Yi: …
Yuanruan: […No, no, no, that’s not necessary! ]
The emperor and Wu Yi were even more wary of the high technology of this system than Yuan Ruan.
I saw that the system was still chatting with Yuanruan about the benefits of erasing memory, such as saving time and effort.
The emperor suddenly said, "It seems that the Xiongnu understand themselves better than I previously suspected. General Wu, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make you a few more sand tables. You can lead more people to use the sand tables to familiarize yourself with the Xiongnu terrain. Now, tell me about your battles in the Xiongnu."
General Wu immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your command."
General Wu immediately began to fiddle with the red and blue flags on the sand table, and then began to fiddle with the sand table while explaining.
General Wu was not very good at using words to describe scenes.
But there are always all kinds of unexpected accidents on the real battlefield. For example, a scout from Daxia had to pee urgently and happened to pee on the head of an ambushed scout from Chen State, thus capturing him and discovering the whereabouts of the Chen State enemy troops.
After these bizarre melons appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of Yuanruan and the system. They all began to focus on the gossip and rumors on the battlefield, and thus forgot about the high-tech memory erasing technology.
This also made the emperor and Wu Yi relax their brows slightly.
Soon, palace maids came in at the door with several dinners.
When the three of them had almost finished eating, an official from the Qintianjian was waiting outside the door, saying that they were here to respectfully welcome Yuanruan to purify himself and wash up.
Yuanruan stood up and burped.
Suddenly, the system was agitated: [Ah Ruan! The main system just went crazy! ]
The Emperor and Wu Yi: ???
Yuanruan: [Ah? What's the matter? ]
System: [The main system said it wants to give you a gift! It’s a free gift, the main system must have been infected with a virus! ]
Yuanruan: [……]
Yuanruan really wanted to agree that the system was just like when she was a worker and was bullying her boss. However, she was more curious about the gift that the system gave her for free.
So Yuanruan: [Tong'er, what do you think the main system gives you for free? ]
The emperor and Wu Yi looked over at the same time.
