C208 The Title of King and the Title of Prime Minister
Xiao Yun said, "That's right."
"Really?"
His Majesty did not believe it.
The eunuch quickly explained, "Your Majesty, the goose is not the main poultry. Usually, there are only some rich people who raise one. On one hand, it is used to drive chickens and ducks, and on the other hand, it can be used to guard the house. They can replace the dogs, but if we are talking about raising more... there really is none. "
"So that's how it is."
His Majesty nodded, then smiled and said, "Then Zhen will understand."
He suddenly stood up and waved his hand. "I have already said that you enjoy life above the clouds. You must be a saint. You are not a saint yet. I am the one who is. Therefore, you have overstepped your boundaries to use this item. I can't say for sure if I'm going to punish you for your crimes. "
"Ah?"
Xiao Yun was stunned.
This... Why was this daylight robbery?
"Your Majesty, this is a great effort from the grasslanders. They did it personally and did it themselves. The grasslanders have no intention of overstepping their boundaries!"
"Are you the one who decided whether or not to overstep their boundaries? Of course, it was me who made the decision! If I say that you have overstepped it, then you have overstepped it!"
"This!"
Xiao Yun's mouth was wide open as he stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
The eunuch couldn't help but laugh.
It was rare to see Xiao Yun being defeated. This was truly a form of enjoyment.
His Majesty waved his hand in the end, and the eunuch carried the bed of bedding on his shoulders like a robber.
Not to mention, he had never thought that this thing was actually so light!
More importantly, he could actually feel the warmth after carrying it for a short while.
This was rather miraculous!
Then, the two bandits looked at each other and smiled, then laughed loudly and left the cell.
Xiao Yun was stunned on the spot. Shangguan Qing'er, who had just woken up after her mattress had been removed, also looked at him in a daze. She was really confused.
But not long after, His Majesty came back again.
He directly sat opposite of Xiao Yun, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching.
It was very awkward, and also very angry.
Most of it was because he was angry at himself.
Of course, this anger was naturally transferred to Xiao Yun.
That's right.
He had completely forgotten about his purpose of coming here after what had happened to Furface.
"You want the land, Zhen agrees and privately gives you a secret edict..." Speaking up to this point, His Majesty could not hold it in anymore and directly scolded loudly, "You brat, do you know what the secret edict means? !"
When Xiao Yun heard His Majesty's accusation, he felt wronged instead.
He sighed and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, do you think the peasants really care about that insignificant piece of land? Or do they care about the reputation? Although there is one thing... Cough cough, but most of the peasants are thinking for His Majesty. And it is also an important step to resolve this matter!"
" What do you mean? "
His Majesty frowned as he asked.
Xiao Yun said, "Your Majesty, this matter is complicated to explain, and this kind of thing cannot be explained by commoners... This way, His Majesty's morning court will be revealed tomorrow! This action of the commoner... It will help His Majesty stay away from the troubles of the court. Presumably, because of the matter of the new currency, the Imperial Court had already been in an endless debate. There must be a lot of trouble, right?"
What Xiao Yun said was righteous, and his words were chiseled, making the Emperor somewhat believe him.
Frowning for a moment, he thought for a while, then said angrily, "If there is no change tomorrow, Zhen will come again tomorrow night! Bring a whip over!"
After saying that, he left with the eunuch.
Xiao Yun blinked and then turned to look at Shangguan Qing'er. Both of them trembled at the same time. It was obvious that they were cold.
Shangguan Qing'er, however, did not panic. She turned around and ran to the cell beside her. She took out a slightly smaller but similar velvet blanket.
"Young Master, how do you know that the blanket cannot be kept?"
Shangguan Qing'er was full of curiosity.
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "If the blanket can be kept, our lives will not last for a few years. If it cannot be kept, then we will be more than half safe."
"Why is that? Could it be that this blanket can offset the young master's crime?"
"That's not it."
Xiao Yun smiled and then said leisurely, "What is the identity of His Majesty? If you did not treat me as a junior who is truly close to you, why would you snatch my things so forcefully? If you are close to a junior, how could he kill you? "
Only then did Shangguan Qing'er come to a realization. After that, she nodded her head and silently laid down the mattress. She went in to meditate for a while before saying," Young Master, it's about time. "
"Excellent! But this young master has frozen to death!"
Xiao Yun immediately crawled in and laughed. He had a good night's sleep.
...
Early next morning, the morning morning assembly began as usual.
The Emperor had already made preparations. He went to look at the memorials presented by the Cabinet and listened to the reports from the officials regarding the chaos of New Currency.
However, in reality, everyone became quiet all of a sudden.
All of them were obedient!
They even had the expression of being loyal to the country and sharing the burden of His Majesty.
They were afraid that as long as His Majesty gave the order, they would go through fire and water with their lives on the line.
As for the matter of the New Dollar, even if His Majesty couldn't help but ask, they all expressed that they were willing to share His Majesty's burden and did everything in their power to help. There were even people who proposed to take out the copper coins that they had accumulated over the years to attack the chaotic market.
It could be considered a rescue!
His Majesty was stunned.
Of course, he was only stunned for a short while.
Some things were just a piece of paper that could be broken with a poke.
How intelligent was His Majesty?
He immediately understood what Xiao Yun had said last night.
He also understood why Xiao Yun had said that His Majesty had to see for himself, and that it was not something he could say.
Indeed, he could not say it!
The reason why the officials had such a reaction was actually because they had seen hope!
It was not so easy to be an official of Great Qin Country now.
One. If a big family wanted to be protected by His Majesty, they had to have a high ranking official every generation. That was why they did not hold back in terms of evaluation.
The effort that he had put in this generation, what was left for the later generations, was really not much.
The capital had been in turmoil for hundreds of years. Seeing him rise to a tall building, seeing that his building had collapsed, seeing him having a feast for the guests, and seeing him at the entrance of the restaurant at noon...
It was unstable!
The root of the problem was that everything depended on His Majesty's words. It was a matter of life and death.
Moreover, many high-ranking officials had already achieved their goal. It was simply impossible for them to rise any further.
But now, it was different.
Xiao Yun had a fiefdom!
What did this mean?
All the officials could not help but wonder if the matter of becoming a king and becoming a prime minister was about to begin again.
What was becoming a King? That was the greatest authority as a subject!
A piece of land and the residents on it were yours. They were directly passed down to their descendants. As long as they did not rebel, there would be no danger. There was even a possibility of rebellion! This was something that other official positions could compare with?
If they truly become big, they will not be able to 'listen to orders'!
I can raise soldiers and horses. If your Emperor says he wants to use them, he will give them to you.
But if you want me to run to the Imperial City alone to meet the Emperor, or to attend the morning court every day, then I am sorry, but I will pretend that I did not hear anything!
As for the Prime Minister, the Third Duke can't compare to him, and the Cabinet can't weigh the pros and cons.
Simply put, pinching the three dukes and the Cabinet together was basically the meaning of the Prime Minister.
The so-called "Prime Minister" could replace His Majesty to make many decisions, and he did not need His Majesty to do everything himself. As long as His Majesty gave him a direction, he would not need His Majesty to worry about other things.
Even if His Majesty did not go to court for a few years, this country could also be taken care of by the Prime Minister.
What was this? This was a true supreme power, apart from imperial power!
However, after so many years had passed in Great Qin Country, apart from the founding of the empire, no matter if it was the title of Prime Minister or the title of Prime Minister, it had never happened again. It was to the point that people had almost forgotten about this matter.
As for Xiao Yun's seemingly insignificant fiefdom, it instantly reminded everyone of it!
