Chapter 134 Madman in August
The change of emperor is actually something completely unrelated to the lives of ordinary people.
What's more, the two emperors who ascended the throne this year are all the descendants of the late emperor Xiaowu who was buried there.
Therefore, at the level of ordinary people, there is no problem at all.
When the news came out, everyone just had another person to talk about while having dinner.
As for other thoughts or measures, they were probably only dissatisfaction with the princes who plotted to usurp the throne and assassinate the young emperor.
Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to speak loudly and publicly criticize and insult princes who are born to be nobles.
Now that they had this opportunity, and with the help of caring people who could promote and guide them, Tianjing, from top to bottom, unanimously criticized and insulted the five princes.
The commotion in the capital was not large in scale.
In order to make a living, ordinary people have to start setting up stalls, opening shops, and going to work as soon as the street ban ends.
During this period, the new emperor gave everyone a round of money and rice.
Although the quantity is not large, if it is distributed, it is much better than nothing.
As a result, many people began to appreciate the kindness of the late emperor Xiaowu, and took the opportunity to praise the current emperor.
As for the young emperor who had just died, all that was left was regret.
After feeling regretful, you may forget about it in a few days.
So nothing seemed to have changed.
Life seems to be completely back on track.
And this is only August 4th.
After the turmoil in the court ended, Qin Zheng was released from the mansion and entered the palace again under the guidance of the palace officials.
But now, the person sitting on the throne is no longer his kind-hearted young apprentice.
It was the girl who Qin Zheng hated and despised, the girl who was greedy and had a vulgar temperament.
"Your Majesty." Qin Zheng knelt down and shouted a title first.
Gu Feixue.
Emperor Gu Feixue.
She didn't get up, she just looked at Qin Zheng calmly.
Although she looks the same as before, she doesn't deliberately wear more luxurious clothes, she just looks the same as usual - her usual clothes are already very luxurious.
But even if nothing changed, she looked completely different from the past.
"Your Majesty?" Gu Feixue laughed: "Not Your Highness?"
"There will be a war soon." Qin Zheng knelt on the ground without raising his head: "What are your Majesty's plans?"
"You have already decided on the war before." Gu Feixue kicked off her shoes, lay half on the throne, and while eating lychees, asked: "What do you want me to do now?"
"So, Your Majesty doesn't intend to change it?"
"Why change?" Gu Feixue asked back: "Weren't you worried about military expenses and reward money before?"
"We stripped five palaces this time. Are you afraid that you won't be able to raise the money?"
Qin Zheng suddenly raised his head: "It's really you!"
"What is me and not me?" Gu Feixue asked harshly: "Am I the one who was passed on to the throne in the imperial edict of my father? That is indeed me."
"Am I the legitimate emperor?"
"That's me too!"
Gu Feixue was barefoot and did not have the dignity of an emperor at all, nor did she intend to study hard to be an emperor like the young emperor.
She is still the same greedy, vulgar, short-witted and impulsive girl.
"Plan to assassinate the late emperor!" Qin Zheng took a deep breath: "He is your brother."
"So what?"
Qin Zheng took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "So what are your Majesty's plans?"
"Now that you have obtained the throne, what will your Majesty do with the old minister who usurped the imperial edict and rebelled against him?"
"Since His Majesty does not intend to interfere in the war, what about the subsequent political affairs?"
Gu Feixue stared at Qin Zheng steadily and suddenly became speechless.
He seemed stunned.
But after a moment, she spit out the peel and threw it in front of Qin Zheng: "What should I do with it?"
"I succeeded to the throne legitimately. I took my brother's will and became the emperor."
"Is there anything about usurping the imperial edict?"
Qin Zheng frowned deeply.
This was different from the shallow girl he expected to be furious.
"And who told you that I won't interfere in the war?"
Gu Feixue had a wicked and impulsive smile on her face: "The original plans were too mild."
"Of course I know, it's because I don't have money."
"So the war to conquer the Song Dynasty had to be fought in four phases."
"Back and forth, the budget is only a tiny bit."
"Although the income is huge, it is still four times and three years is too long to start."
"I don't want to wait."
"This time, five princes who have inherited titles are planning to assassinate the late emperor and my biological brother. I plan to cut off their titles."
"It just so happens that the palace has been surrounded for several days, so it's time to raid it."
"Didn't you send a message yesterday about how many princes you wanted to keep?"
"What? Where did your ruthlessness in planning to plunder King Chen's house go?"
Gu Feixue seemed to be very serious and curious.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Qin Zheng curiously: "Why are you planning to raid Prince Chen's home? Why do you want to stop me from raiding the homes of five princes?"
"Do you think that Xie Ningzi, and even the eldest princess, my chastity is worth one palace, but my imperial brother is not worth five palaces?"
Qin Zheng took a deep breath: "Your Majesty is too impatient."
"Since the founding of Dayun, there has been no precedent of implicating five princes at once."
"There is no precedent in the Dayun Dynasty of princes plotting to assassinate the emperor!"
"And the assassination was successful!"
Gu Feixue gritted her teeth, her young white teeth making a rattling sound: "I will feel uneasy if I don't kill them."
Qin Zheng sighed: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be rushed."
"The royal family's money has been stolen by these beasts."
"They were afraid that the emperor would pursue him, so they plotted to assassinate the emperor's brother."
"Even my father's death has nothing to do with them."
Gu Feixue held her head high: "Kill my father and brother."
"I must kill them."
"We must confiscate their property."
"Some of those family properties were originally the royal family's money they had embezzled, and some were the imperial court's money they had embezzled."
"Some of the court officials are owed salaries and have not been paid, and it is also because of these silverfish!"
Qin Zheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
He is a very courageous and ideal scholar, and he also has the skills to preside over changes in national politics.
However, due to the constraints of the country's stability and people's lives, he cannot do many things directly. Instead, he is tied up and has to pay a price for every step he takes.
But the newly enthroned female emperor in front of her was different.
She is not a normal person with basic political literacy and moral character.
She is crazy!
"I don't care about their greed." Gu Feixue smiled.
She has been laughing today, and she is smiling like a villain.
"When you're confiscating your house, just be greedy."
"As long as something can be done, it's done."
