"Since no one objects, then pass on my decree to send the acting prince to the capital to protect the emperor and destroy the rebels.”
Taking advantage of the fact that the dignitaries had admitted their mistakes, Emperor Taikang directly issued an edict without caring about anything else.
This time, even if someone wanted to object, it would be impossible.
After the court session, Yuan Ye was left alone by Emperor Taikang.
"Ding! Mission completed. Reward: Master of Art, Tiger Fanatic Xu Chu.
"Also, after returning on behalf of the host, Xu Chu will seek refuge with the host.”
As Emperor Taikang announced the end of the court session, Yuan Ye's mission was completed.
"My dear minister, you have helped me vent my anger today!
Those damn vermin, they also had this day.”
In the royal study, Emperor Taikang was pacing back and forth in front of his desk as he laughed and praised Yuan Ye.
"Being able to share Your Majesty's worries is a blessing for this subject.”
With the mind-reading technique in hand, he could observe Emperor Taikang closely.
Therefore, every word he said was directed at Emperor Taikang's heart.
It made Emperor Taikang trust him even more.
"Haha, good, good!
If every official thinks like you, then how much effort would I have to save?”
As expected, Emperor Taikang was overjoyed when he heard Yuan Ye's words.
He praised Yuan Ye with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries, even if it means offending the officials.”
Yuan Ye said to Emperor Taikang seriously.
"Yes! Heaven and earth can prove my love for you."
"If there were more officials like you, I would be able to sleep more peacefully.
What a pity!
Back then, Imperial Father was nostalgic.
Now, none of the noble children had any achievements.
Even so, it was fine, but they actually joined forces like an old tree's roots, causing the current tail to be unable to be shaken off.
They even borrowed money from the national treasury.”
"Which noble family doesn't owe the court money now?
Even if they had money, they would not return it. The hateful thing was that they had to find an excuse to cry poor and get money from the national treasury.
In the past few days, the amount of money that the dignitaries had borrowed from the national treasury alone had reached tens of millions of taels.
They are all extremely rich and extravagant, but I have to tighten my belt to live.”
Emperor Taikang praised Yuan Ye with gratification before sitting down and sighing.
"Your Majesty, you are now a malignant tumor of the Dayu Dynasty.
From what I've heard, they don't just live in luxury. Because they were getting worse with each generation, their income and expenditure were seriously unbalanced. However, in order to save face, they would rather sell their ancestral businesses behind their backs. Some even put money behind their backs, making the people suffer.
Therefore, what Your Majesty worries about is what I worry about, and what Your Majesty thinks is what I think.
However, the relationship between the dignitaries is deeply intertwined. It is obviously impossible to uproot them all at once, but we can slowly plan for it.
However, he estimated that he would not be able to get back much money.
They could not make up for the money they owed the national treasury.”
Yuan Ye knew Emperor Taikang's thoughts, so he naturally wanted to help Emperor Taikang resolve his worries.
"Hmph, this zhen has long been prepared for this.
If they have someone who can live up to their expectations, or even know that they don't have their own bodies, it's fine if they return the money quietly and don't cause trouble. I'm not a person who doesn't cherish old ties.
But they had gone too far.
No matter how many losses I have to suffer, I will get rid of them.”
Emperor Taikang said angrily.
"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't have the money to borrow money. Perhaps you don't have the ability and are afraid of losing the Saint's heart, so you borrowed money to test Your Majesty.
Naturally, the amount of money they borrowed could not avoid a comparison to prove that His Majesty still loved them.
Therefore, this led to the thoughts of the nobles themselves. They directly felt that the money they borrowed had become the reward they deserved.
If I am not wrong, they will continue to borrow money from the court.”
Yuan Ye added fuel to the fire and voiced his thoughts.
"How hateful.
I will never have a day of peace until I get rid of the dignitaries.”
Emperor Taikang slammed the table and said fiercely.
"Your Majesty, what we should be most worried about is the six kings!”
Yuan Ye reminded Emperor Taikang.
"Hmph, don't worry. My younger brother, the acting prince, has already led an army to lie in ambush on the path of that traitor, the Six Princes.”
Emperor Taikang waved his hand indifferently.
In his heart, he was thinking,'Sixth Brother thinks that as long as he invades the capital and ascends to Zhen's position before Fourth Brother, he can command the world.
What a pity! If I can become the emperor, I can already defeat you.
No matter how much he wanted to, he was still a younger brother.
You still don't know that when I received the news of your rebellion, I had already secretly sent people to send Fourth Brother back.”
Hearing Emperor Taikang's words, Yuan Ye was shocked. He thought to himself that no Emperor who had risen to the throne through competition was simple.
They were all old foxes.
"However, you offended all the officials in the court today. You have to go out and lie low. It just so happens that I have a job for you.
Make a trip to Yangzhou and bring me to see the salt censor Lin Ruhai. This Lin Ruhai is my confidant.
I heard that your health is not good now. Wait for me to go and console you.
To bring back the news about Yangzhou.”
Emperor Taikang then instructed Yuan Ye seriously.
"Ding! [Mission: Head to Yangzhou to investigate Yangzhou's salt policy.]
[Mission Reward: 3,000 white horses, proficient in identifying antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.]”
As soon as Emperor Taikang finished speaking, the system's voice sounded in Yuan Ye's mind.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuan Ye immediately agreed.
"Yes, I heard that my dear minister walked to court today!”
Emperor Taikang nodded in satisfaction and asked Yuan Ye.
"Yes, sir!"
Yuan Ye was delighted when he heard this because he knew what Emperor Tai Kang wanted to do.
"In that case, I will reward you with a carriage, a horse, a coachman, and a thousand taels of silver.”
Emperor Taikang waved his hand and rewarded Yuan Ye.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yuan Ye happily agreed.
After Emperor Taikang gave a few more instructions, Yuan Ye left.
After leaving, a eunuch brought some people to give Yuan Ye the reward he had received.
This time, Yuan Ye finally ended his reserved life.
Not to mention the fact that he had walked over, this time, he directly sat in the carriage.
Furthermore, he had arrived home safely.
Why did he say that he had arrived home safely? It was because Yuan Ye had offended all the officials in the court.
However, the officials were not stupid. Even if they wanted to kill Yuan Ye, they knew that they could not do so.
They could see that Emperor Taikang favored Yuan Ye.
And the case of Yuan Ye's verbal battle with the officials in the court was also spread.
At the very least, he had gained the reputation of Zhong Yi.
Moreover, the matter of being loyal to the monarch was widely spread.
Everyone praised Yuan Ye as the new top scorer.
His literary talent was indeed different.
