As long as you do the opposite, you will succeed in the end and increase the country's fortune.
All kinds of questions lingered in Wei Yunyi's mind.
He had no idea what was going on.
But the only thing that is certain is.
Among them.
There must be something wrong.
at the same time.
In the Jingde Palace, Zhao Lingying took the memorial presented by Song Gongwen and prepared to review it, but she never started writing.
"Your Majesty?" Cuiguo came over with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
She also heard the previous conversation and knew that His Majesty told her own queen.
We can’t take the lives of those nobles.
so.
When Her Majesty was reviewing this memorial, she could have simply written down His Majesty's wishes. Why were you so hesitant?
"It's okay." Zhao Lingying shook her head and said, "I was wondering why Your Majesty didn't execute those who committed serious crimes."
"At first, I thought it was Your Majesty's kindness that he didn't want to kill the nobles even though they committed a heinous crime tantamount to treason."
"But now that I think about it carefully, I find it's not that simple."
"I have a feeling that His Majesty must have a deeper purpose."
A deeper purpose?
As soon as these words were spoken.
Cuiguo also fell into deep thought, obviously thinking about what her queen had said.
But no matter what, she couldn't figure it out.
As the saying goes.
The king's heart is hard to predict.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Cui Guo immediately said, "This... Your Majesty, aren't you overthinking it? Maybe Your Majesty is truly kind and doesn't want to kill anyone?"
She thought that the Queen was overthinking it. Could it be that His Majesty really meant what he said?
But it was obvious that Zhao Lingying didn't think so.
Regarding Cuiguo’s words.
It's completely ignored.
Finally, Zhao Lingying's expression suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but say, "I understand what Your Majesty means."
"Although the gentry colluded with the White Clothes Sect and committed a capital crime, many people are now implicated, especially those who have been speaking out for the gentry and opposing the land tax system, including many court officials."
"If we use our iron-blooded tactics at this moment, it will likely trigger a series of chain reactions."
"Especially what will those officials who support the samurai think?"
"It must be very frightening."
At this point, her eyes brightened, and she continued, "Your Majesty's intention is to stabilize the court, so he must hold back on those nobles."
"Letting them go, not taking their lives, is giving those officials a chance."
At this moment, what Zhao Lingying was thinking about was also very simple.
I feel like killing someone is easy.
But governing a country, especially stabilizing the forces of all parties, does not simply rely on killing.
It is also necessary to balance the forces of all parties, especially the gentry, who are the most important.
Killing him might guarantee temporary peace.
But if you choose not to kill.
It is like a sword is hanging over the heads of those nobles and officials, and as to when it will be chopped down, it all depends on a word from His Majesty.
In this way, all the initiative is in the hands of Your Majesty.
The same thing.
Checks and balances!
"Your Majesty is indeed Your Majesty. You always think three steps ahead." A smile appeared on Zhao Lingying's face.
I became more and more impressed by the imperial mind of my Majesty.
But her reaction left Cuiguo beside her stunned for a moment. She couldn't help but ask, "But didn't His Majesty also instruct the nobles to be taught a lesson? What is this lesson?"
That's right.
One more lesson...
Zhao Lingying thought for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "That makes sense now. Your Majesty's implication is that if there is no bloodshed, then the property of the Jiangnan gentry must be confiscated to teach them a lesson they will never forget."
"You should know that the imperial court is currently carrying out two major projects: the construction of a canal and the construction of the Weizhi Road."
"Both of these projects require money. Where does the money come from? From the nobles."
"What these people lack the least is money. If we confiscate all their property and fill the national treasury to help implement the two national policies, it will not only teach the nobles a lesson, but also benefit the country!"
In the Wei Dynasty, the richest group of people were undoubtedly the Jiangnan gentry.
If their property can be confiscated, that would be a huge sum of money.
I'm afraid it's two projects.
In the next few years, you won’t have to worry about money.
"Is...is that so?" Cuiguo was a little confused, her eyes full of bewilderment, because she didn't know how her queen came up with these thoughts.
It is clear that His Majesty only said that the nobles should not be killed, but should be taught a lesson.
There is no mention of the court situation or the two projects...
But after the first few things.
She didn't dare say anything more.
Because deep down, he also agreed with what his own queen said.
After all, Cuiguo saw with her own eyes that the court seemed to be getting better and better since His Majesty ascended the throne.
At this time, Zhao Lingying picked up the pen and began to review Song Gongwen's memorial.
The above content is also very concise.
That is, tell Song Gongwen how to deal with those gentry.
As for more, she didn't say anything because it concerned the stability of the court.
Wei Yunyi was not clear about this.
