C1549 Not Good Enough

It's nice to be an emperor, but it's tiring, too. In the history of China, there were many short-lived emperors... Apart from being too lecherous and making his body weak, there were also many who got sick and died from exhaustion because they usually "worked" too much.    

    

After Huang Feng became the emperor, he knew how many things had happened. After all, he had to control a country. The size of a country was so big. Many things happened every day, and many of them were reported to him. And this was with the help of the officials below. Otherwise... It would be even more... But even so, on the table in front of Huang Feng... There was a very high stack of memorials.    

    

Fortunately, Huang Feng had exchanged for a lot of administrative talents. Now that these people were in a high position, Huang Feng felt more relaxed with their help.    

    

However, although there were people who helped to review the memorials, however... He still had to go personally to see his own minister... And because of the previous policy, many officials had objections. Thus, there were still many people who had recently requested to see him.    

    

"Your majesty, this lowly subject once again implores Your Majesty to take back the order. How can those tradesmen full of stinky copper be on equal footing with us scholars? This is in front of everyone, this is shaking the national capital! "    

    

At this moment, Huang Feng was meeting an old man who was at least sixty years old. This old man was not ordinary. In the previous dynasty, he had been like Grand Preceptor. He had a lot of power. More importantly, in the Imperial Court... There were also many of his henchmen, who were either his relatives. In short, this guy had a lot of right to speak.    

    

After Huang Feng overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty, for the sake of stability, after all, that would have too much of an impact. It wasn't good for stability. However, Huang Feng didn't expect that this old man wouldn't be grateful to him. And now, this old man even took the lead to oppose him. This was because he was the one leading the charge. That was why there were a bunch of officials waving flags and shouting behind them, causing panic among the people.    

    

"You mean to say that my decision was wrong?" Huang Feng looked at the other party and said lightly, although the other party was very old. He was also in a high position, and he had a free aura around him. However, Huang Feng had to face a lot of high-ranking officials. He really didn't care about such a person.    

    

"This lowly subject doesn't dare." That old man bowed and said, "However, I feel that your majesty's decision is indeed a little inappropriate."    

    

"Oh? Then what do you think I should do?" Huang Feng asked back.    

    

" I feel that those merchants should not be on the same level as scholars. It is fine to encourage business, but it cannot raise their status. " The old man thought for a moment and said.    

    

"Not giving the horse grass to eat, yet you want the horse to run away?" Huang Feng said with a smile.    

    

In the history of China, there had been a period of time like this. They could carry out commercial activities, but the status of merchants was still underground. Under such circumstances, even though business had developed, but the speed of development is very slow... After all, no one wanted to be looked down upon, only those who couldn't live happily... Only then will they walk the path of business... And those who have money... They all wanted to get rid of their identity as merchants. This was very awkward.    

    

When the old man heard Huang Feng's words, he did not say anything. Clearly, this was what he meant.    

    

"Alright, I know what you think. Let's go down first." Huang Feng waved his hand and said.    

    

"Your majesty, what you mean is..." The old man actually did not withdraw and wanted Huang Feng to express his stance.    

    

"Go down first, I have my own decision!" Huang Feng said with a gloomy expression, and his own aura was unconsciously unleashed. His inner energy was very strong. In addition, he had seen a lot of officials. The aura on his body was naturally not something that an ordinary person could compare with.    

    

"Yes, this lowly official will take his leave." Under the attack of Huang Feng's Qi, that old man was also somewhat unable to withstand it. He was somewhat startled and hurriedly bowed and retreated.    

    

After the old man withdrew, Huang Feng's expression still did not turn for the better. Obviously, what the old man said just now had made him very unhappy. Furthermore, Huang Feng knew that this wasn't the idea of a single person. That old man represented the opinions of many people in the Imperial Court.    

    

"If you do anything inappropriate, don't blame me for being impolite!" Huang Feng said to himself.    

    

Since Huang Feng came, he had secretly established a spy organization. Surveillance of the capital officials and the families' situation was similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard. However, Huang Feng did not give them the right to judge. These people only had the right to monitor. If there was any useful information, report it directly. They couldn't deal with those people directly.    

    

Huang Feng had no other choice. He had just conquered this country, and it was not stable yet.    

    

On the other side, the old man had just come out of the palace when he was surrounded by a few officials.    

    

"Grand Preceptor, what did His Majesty say?"    

    

"Hmph! What did he say? Or do you want those lower class people to be on equal footing with us? Who knows, in the future, when we meet those people, we might even have to greet them! " The old man said with a cold snort. His tone was rather unchanging.    

    

"How can that be!?"    

    

"That's right, it violates the will of our ancestors!"    

    

"What right do those tradesmen with stinky bodies have to be on equal footing with us? This is ridiculous!"    

    

"No matter how angry you are, it's useless. His Majesty has clearly made up his mind!" The old man said, "He is really stubborn. No matter what I say, it is useless."    

    

"His Majesty is muddle-headed!"    

    

"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have opened the city gate to let him in!"    

    

"That's right. Who would have thought that he would do such a ridiculous thing?"    

    

"Milords, please lower your voices. This is the entrance to the Imperial Palace. If His Majesty were to hear this, I'm afraid he would lose his head."    

    

With the reminder of one of the officials, everyone's voices immediately quietened down. However, the expression on their faces did not change.    

    

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come to my residence tonight to have a chat. After all, it's not convenient to speak here." The old man said.    

    

"Grand Preceptor has invited us, we naturally won't refuse."    

    

"That's right, we will definitely go tonight."    

    

"Yes, we should think of a way to change the current situation!"    

    

Everyone said one after another. They could roughly guess what this old man meant. However, this was also what they thought. Thus, they naturally agreed to the contract.    

    

The old man was very satisfied with their answers, and besides these people, he would also invite some other people. He wanted to let that self-righteous guy know... The Imperial Decree was not something that could be casually issued. If one did not listen to it, the consequences would be very serious!    

    

However, this old man probably did not know about the contents of his discussion just now... In less than five minutes, Huang Feng already knew. After hearing the report, Huang Feng only whispered, "You don't know the difference between life and death!"
