I'm so hard

Chapter 3 I'm Excellent

"If you don't get married, don't pay compensation, don't cede land, don't give old coins, whoever offends my Great Zhou will be punished no matter how far away!"

Zhao Yan had practiced this sentence several times in his heart, so he said it with full momentum and the demeanor of a king.

What shocked and even frightened the officials below was the content of this sentence.

For more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, peace has always been the most important thing, and problems that can be solved with money will never be solved by force.

Therefore, in the past hundred years, he has made peace with the surrounding countries six times, and cut the land more than ten times for indemnity. Every year, he gives the surrounding countries a large amount of silver and silk to ensure safety.

Even this time when the Northern Mongolian army arrived at the mouth of the Yellow River, the five princes still wanted to please the enemy with huge indemnities, and then let the two sides use the Yellow River as the border!

Zhao Yan's words directly overturned the national policy of the Great Zhou that had been implemented for a hundred years, and advocated the use of force to rule the country!

Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai, and Kong Moshan all looked at each other in confusion. They didn't teach the new emperor to say this.

At this time, a gray-haired veteran came out, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister Wu Chong, the censor, thinks that what your majesty said is wrong. It is not a good strategy to resort to military force. Our country is strong and the land is vast. It’s just superficial. The late emperor said that the country can prosper and the people can live in peace without attacking!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan became angry!

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were bullied like this because they held this kind of pedantic thinking, were greedy for enjoyment, and muddled along.

In particular, this person also brought out the first emperor, which made Zhao Yan even more angry.

If Da Zhou is not tough, he will really become the king of subjugation. Now that Zhao Yan has become the emperor, he has the responsibility to get rid of Da Zhou's lazy style.

This new national policy must be implemented.

Zhao Yan rolled up his long sleeves and pointed at the old official with gray hair.He said sharply, "I think people like you can retire and return home!"

When these words came out, all the ministers were shocked.

On the first day of his enthronement, the new emperor pointed to the second-rank official and the highest official of Yushitai to tell him to return to his hometown.

This has never happened in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wu Chong was so angry that his body was trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been working hard in Yushitai for 30 years. He has always served the country and the people. He spoke out and dared to advise. The late emperor treated me very politely. I didn't expect that His Majesty would be in the Daqing Palace." The above humiliated me so much, for the sake of Da Zhou, the old minister can only choose to die!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Chong was about to hit the big red pillar on the left side of the palace gate.

The other admonishers on the side hurried to stop Wu Chong.

Zhao Yan has watched a lot of TV dramas, and there is only one ultimate method for these officials, and that is deadly remonstrance.

But it is a fresh trick, eaten all over the world.

If the official Yan was killed in the hall, he would be called a loyal minister, and the emperor would be called a faint king.

Under such circumstances, the emperor generally compromised.

But now the Great Zhou Dynasty is controlled by the scholar-bureaucrat class, and the previous emperors have never hurt a famous official, so the arrogance of these officials is even more arrogant.

It is common for the officials to quarrel because of certain things in the court. Even Xiao Jingye sometimes has to make these officials a little bit.

Some things, they are really good at accepting advice, but some things are completely their stubbornness and pedantry.

If the current Great Zhou Kingdom is rich and the people are strong, Zhao Yan will not be as knowledgeable as him.

But seeing that the country is about to fall, people are coming to your house, and you still shout that you can't use force.

Zhao Yan couldn't get used to him anymore.

The three giants of Xiao Jingye on the side did not speak. They also wanted to see how the new emperor would deal with this kind of problem.

After all, this kind of problem will often happen in future courts.

Zhao Yan quickly untied the gold and jade belt, took off the Tongtian crown, took off the crimson gauze robe, and threw them on the hall with a big hand.

"Come on, this emperor, whoever loves to be the one, I quit!"

If you make trouble, I can make more trouble than you.

When Zhao Yan said no, the officials below were all dumbfounded.

Zhao's royal family, all the princes were captured, and there was only one county king. If you are no longer the emperor, who will do it!

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, absolutely not!"

All the ministers in the court knelt down, including Wu Chong, the imperial historian who made a fuss about bumping against the pillar.

Zhao Yan took a long breath and said: "It's not that I like force, it's that others have attacked our house, can't we resist? "The Picture of Wuzhi Kneeling Worship" has become the biggest shame of my Great Zhou. How did the late emperor die? Yes, don’t you know? Blindly seeking peace can only make the enemy country worse. I know that wars cost money and kill people, but if we go to make peace, pay compensation, and cede land, Dazhou will perish and die More people, do you want to be a minister of subjugation, anyway, I don’t like being a king of subjugation!”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yan turned around and left Daqing Hall.

Today, he is indeed angry!

Da Zhou was bullied by others, not because others were too powerful, but because Da Zhou was too cowardly!

After hearing this passage, the ministers had mixed reactions.

Those with sad faces were some civil servants. Once the Great Zhou started advocating force, their status would decline rapidly.

And some military generals and some far-sighted civil servants were excited.

This new monarch is extraordinary!

Although he was a little rushed, it might bring about a turning point for Da Zhou.

After all, Big Week is bad enough right now!
After Zhao Yan left, the three giants of the imperial court gathered together for a moment, then picked up Zhao Yan's clothes and walked into the side hall.

At this moment, the minds of the three giants are also different.

Literary Prime Minister Xiao Jingye felt both sorrow and joy in his heart. The joy was that this new monarch had a deep heart, full of aura, and good language expression skills. He had the potential to become a holy monarch.The worry is that the new monarch is too reckless and irritable. Once he leads Da Zhou to a road of no return, he will be a sinner through the ages.

Marshal Yang Xinghuai looked excited. If the late emperor had such a sharp aura, how could Da Zhou be bullied to such a field? He felt that his blood and passion from decades ago had returned.

As for the Minister of Finance, Kong Moshan, he still had a sad expression on his face.War is the most expensive thing, but the treasury is short of money, where can he raise money!

The three giants of the imperial court looked at the dark-faced Zhao Yan, feeling helpless in their hearts.

They thought that the new emperor would know nothing when he first came to the throne, and would listen to the three auxiliary ministers. They never thought that the new emperor would have an imperial spirit that no one could suppress when he first came to the throne.

Now, the three of them will naturally coax them. If Zhao Yan quits, then Da Zhou will be completely over.

"Your Majesty, the new national policy you mentioned is feasible for the veteran, but the most important thing for us now is to solve the crisis at the mouth of the Yellow River. If this crisis can be resolved, the new national policy will definitely be feasible!" Xiao Jingye said.

Yang Xinghuai on the side said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you must never say anything like being an emperor again in the future. I, Da Zhou, can't stand such a torment!"

Zhao Yan also knew that he was really self-willed, so he nodded his head slightly in agreement, and said, "I have a way to solve the crisis at the mouth of the Yellow River."

The three giants in the court were all taken aback, the new emperor still knows the art of war?
Zhao Yan looked at Yang Xinghuai and said: "Although the Northern Mongolian Army is powerful, they have traveled long distances. The food and grass in the army are all obtained by looting. Although our six northern states have fallen, they are unable to manage them. Riots are common. The Mongolian army went deep into the mouth of the Yellow River, with the purpose of capturing the imperial capital and overthrowing our Great Zhou rule, but if the Yellow River does not freeze, they will not last long."

Yang Xinghuai nodded slightly. Most of the military officers in the Great Zhou were very clear about these situations, but he was still a little surprised to hear it from a 17-year-old new emperor.

He felt more and more that Zhao Yan was an undiscovered treasure, which might really bring earth-shaking changes to Da Zhou in the future.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable. The Northern Mongolian cavalry army is strong, but they don't have shipbuilding skills. They can only wait for the Yellow River to freeze and lay a lot of hay and planks before they can cross the river. If the Yellow River doesn't freeze, they can only last half a month at most. "Yang Xinghuai said.

Xiao Jingye on the side heaved a long sigh: "Half a month? The day before yesterday has entered the [-]th cold weather. According to the current trend of cold weather, within ten days, the Yellow River will definitely freeze."

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "I have a plan to keep the Yellow River from freezing."
