When I am connected with the prince of the same life

When Lin Heng implemented the reform, in order to ensure orderly progress in various places, he specially issued instructions-for places where the reform was promoted, rewards would be issued, and even local officials would be promoted.

At that time, I only wanted to reform the law, and I didn't want the people to be persecuted because of this regulation...

The Manchun Garden was filled with friction from the guards dragging the corpses on the ground, and Cheng Jiajun left in an orderly manner.But the other civil and military officials were not in the mood to watch the excitement, and instead focused their attention on the empress.

Facing the scrutiny of pairs of eyes, Lin Heng straightened his back unconsciously.He could feel dissatisfaction in their eyes.

When he was confused, a soft hand held his hand.It was as if there was a warm current trickling into his body, making him suddenly enlightened, and his whole body was full of strength.

Lin Heng turned his head sideways and met Cheng Muqing's clear and soft eyes.

He settled down and his eyes gradually became firmer.

"The problem mentioned by those few people just now has become the main problem of the Jin Dynasty." Lin Heng said loudly, "Only by solving it can the matter of measuring the land go smoothly."

"But Your Majesty, since you agree with the unreasonable words just now, why do you insist on going your own way?" Someone asked, "Can't we just cancel this measure?"

"Your Majesty, measuring the land is not a one-time thing. In just a few months, many officials have been sent to clear the land, and now the number of officials in the court is decreasing day by day. In a few days, there is no one to do anything in the court. What should the Great Jin do?" It is indeed useless to measure the land, but it is not yet the time when there is a shortage of manpower.

What really made Dajin short of people was another article of the Jin Shun Emperor's reform-the assessment of officials.

Now, they are actually telling him on the sidelines.

Two changes.

First, the people have been entrapped to rebel.

Second, hundreds of officials have been abolished, and no one in the court is doing anything. In fact, it is still the common people who suffer.

"Only when the reforms are carried out normally can all the people in the world have land and protect the interests of ordinary people." Lin Heng said, "Only in this way can the fangs lurking in the Great Jin be pulled out."

"Your Majesty, do you know that there are two kinds of animals that cling to each other and live and die together?" an official asked loudly, "They live and die together. When one dies, the other will die with it."

To live and die together... For some reason, Lin Heng suddenly thought of himself and Cheng Muqing.In fact, there is no such talisman paper, if something happens to Cheng Muqing, he is willing to go to hell together.

His expression was a little gloomy, and he recalled the history books he had read.It seems... indeed, no dynasty can be clean and free from traitors.

"There is nothing absolute in this world." It was Cheng Muqing who answered him.She took a step forward and looked at the official with a sneer, "It is said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. I am curious. Is it true?"

"Of course it's a lie. The pond at Weichen's house has to change the water every few days." Tao Yushi smiled, "The muddy water will only pollute the entire pond. Everything... needs to be cleaned every once in a while."

The official was stunned speechless, he raised his head secretly, and stared at the two people above him without any trace.

Cheng Muqing was a little proud, but when he turned around, he saw that Lin Heng was still in a daze, so he raised his arm to touch him.

This touch brought him back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, someone will attack the people after the emperor is far away." Cheng Muqing looked at him, "We can't do nothing, can we?"

Almost instantly, Lin Heng understood what she was thinking.

"Golden Eagle Guard." Lin Heng summoned the Golden Eagle Division and the others.

Su Ya, who was the leader, also led others to salute.

"I ordered you to go to various states and counties with troops to strictly investigate those who lied about the number of fields and oppressed the people!" Lin Heng raised his chin slightly, and his whole body was quite imposing.He narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, "I, Xu Er, etc., have the right to severely punish those who make mistakes...even, to be executed."

The air was quiet for a moment, and after a while, only Su Yayi's voice echoed in the courtyard.

"Sir, obey the order."

-

In the silent late night, the night wind stirred up a field of fine sand and passed through the hall, bringing a whistling sound.

In Fengyi Palace, only one red candle was lit.

In order to solve the problem of the emptiness of the national treasury, many unnecessary expenses have been reduced throughout the imperial city.

Lin Heng lay on the Babu bed, a wave appeared on his calm face.

The candlelight shone on his face through the mottled carved wood patterns, making it impossible to see the thoughts in his eyes.

"Are you blaming yourself?" Cheng Muqing walked into the Babu bed with his slender body facing away from the red candle, and looked down at him.

"Qingqing." Lin Heng's voice was a little tired, "Did I do something wrong? Did I...not change the law?"

Even though it was so certain that a reform must be carried out at the time, thinking about it afterwards, Lin Heng would still be a little confused.

He also thought about it, if after he ascended the throne, he would continue the management method of Emperor Ming of Jin and let Da Jin continue to develop in a muddle...wouldn't so many things happen?

Now local officials are eager to show off, but instead cause the people to lose their fields.As for the assessment, many officials lost their main source of livelihood.

Every day at the court, the officials repeatedly gave examples of the harm, begged him to give up the reform, and even said many threatening words.

He endured these pressures and couldn't breathe every day.

He also finally understood what it means to be involuntary.

As an emperor, he should have supreme power, and he can do whatever he wants.But after taking this position, he discovered that the imperial power was held by those civil and military officials, as well as the common people of the world.

They can recognize him as emperor and listen to him.But it can also threaten him and force him to make a choice.To accept their advice, or lose the throne...

"I can feel that many of them have reached the limit of their tolerance for the reform." Lin Heng's voice was hoarse, "They have criticized in class more than once... If Tao Yushi and the others did not defend me, I am afraid that my present The position has changed hands."

He was so stubborn before, even in the face of those threatening remonstrances, he still managed to persevere.

But now...

"Then... what do you think?" Cheng Muqing sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at him.

"What if... I said, I want to give up?" Lin Heng pursed his lips, "I want to take you, leave here, and live in a place where no one knows."

"What about Wang Shu?"

"Take it away." Lin Heng replied decisively, "We are not here, a little girl like her will only be treated as a puppet. She will even die in the party struggle."

"What about the people in the world? The land is used as the national treasury, how can they survive?" Cheng Muqing asked again, "You have worked so hard to reform that you even transferred Liao Xian back to the capital and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. If you lose the pick, then Liao Xian, Tao Yushi, Xu Jin and the others... what should they do?"

Her question made him unable to answer.

"Ah Heng, keep going..." Cheng Muqing's tone softened a lot.She put her hand on his head and stroked it gently, "Everyone will be confused, and sometimes they want to give up... But the more this time, the more you should hold on."

"okay."
