As soon as Zhou Yu returned to the imperial study, Shiyi ran over after hearing the commotion. When he saw Zhou Yu sitting on the chair with a slightly angry expression, he waved his hand and asked the waiters to leave. He took a cup of tea and put it on the table.

In front of Zhou Yu.

Standing next to Zhou Yu, Shi Yi said softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that you were angry in the court just now. Although Shi Yi doesn't know why, and he doesn't understand national affairs, I only know that Your Majesty must not

I was so angry because of what happened in the court."

Zhou Yu glanced at the worried Yu Shiyi and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just some trivial matters."

Jian Shiyi shook his head gently: "Trivial matters will not make the emperor unhappy. The emperor is usually full of energy and confidence and has never lost his temper. Today, it must be something those courtiers said that made the emperor unhappy."

Zhou Yu suddenly felt a little confused. When he looked at the person in front of him, he thought of Yang Shiyi when he was a child. Although Yang Shiyi was well-behaved at that time, he was somewhat eccentric. However, as he grew up, he rarely saw Yang Shiyi again.

When Shi Yi is willful, he turns into a soft, sweet, considerate and caring person.

"Are you tired?"

Jian Shiyi was stunned: "Your Majesty, are you tired?"

Zhou Yu said: "I'm talking about you."

"I'm not tired." Kao Shiyi walked up behind Zhou Yu and gently pressed Zhou Yu's head with his hand: "Your Majesty didn't get much rest in court today. Is he sleepy?"

"hehe."

Zhou Yu shook his head and let it go with a smile. The current Yao Shiyi is no longer the Yao Shiyi in the plot, but a brand new Yao Shiyi who has become a queen. She has deviated from her original trajectory since she was a child and can no longer

There is no point in comparing them and thinking more about them.

Zhou Yu enjoyed Shiyi's massage for a while and grabbed the other person's hand: "Okay, just let the maids do these things. I still have some things to do here. You can invite Concubine Jin and the others to play together."

Well, after some time I have sorted out these troublesome things, I will take you guys on a trip to see the outside."

Nao Shiyi smiled slightly: "No, the emperor is busy with affairs. We won't get bored staying in the palace every day to accompany each other. If the emperor has something to do, I won't disturb you. Remember to come over to my place for dinner in the evening. I'll take Concubine Jin and the others there.

Call everyone, let’s have a drink and relax with the emperor.”

"That's fine."

Zhou Yu nodded, watched Ji Shiyi leave, squinted his eyes and said to Zhao Teng: "Changshi Zhao, Lieutenant Yang, the head of the Li family behind Concubine Li, Wang Jinrong of Taiyuan, and Jin Yiwei are all well-behaved after years of investigation.

The heads of aristocratic families, vassal kings from various places, and royal family members came to the palace to see me."

"There's no need to come together, just pass the order to let them enter Zhongzhou immediately."

After a pause, Zhou Yu said again: "Let the wind go. A family leader came to the palace overnight to kneel down and beg for my forgiveness. He promised to do his best to relieve the Yellow River floods. I was exempted from paying five years of back taxes and only collected one year of taxes."

As a punishment, and after promising to pay taxes on time every year, I gave him a great opportunity. He may become a real nobleman, inherit the throne and live with the country."

Zhao Teng recorded what Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to go there in person to confirm this rumor."

"Just do it." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Let someone send you the tax books for the past five years. I want to do a good calculation."

Zhao Teng asked: "Do I need to call someone over?"

"Just find a few people who are proficient in arithmetic, plus people from the staff department, and that's enough."

Before Zhou Yu even started, someone reported that Guang, Liu Yuan, and Wei wanted to see Zhou Yu.

Of course Zhou Yu knew what was going on when these three people came over, so he still let them come to the imperial study room.

"I have met His Majesty."

"Get up." Zhou Yu said calmly, and said to Yang Guang: "It's just Captain Yang today, but he already knew in advance?"

"Yes." Cao Guang nodded slowly: "Someone asked me to discuss how to deal with the floods in the Yellow River."

"I think we may be discussing something more than just floods." Zhou Yu looked at Piao Guang and said, "Whether this flood is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, does Taiwei know? Why is there no money in the treasury? Does Taiwei know? Their real

Is the purpose of not wanting me to have another tiger-fighting army? Does the Lieutenant know this?"

Guang Guang took a deep breath and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but the flooding in the Yellow River is indeed a natural disaster and not a man-made disaster."

"Hmph." Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said: "What does it have to do with you? At most, you can only know the truth and not report it, but I tell you, if my family is involved in the flood, then I will definitely be a

If you don’t keep him alive, I will send his family’s chickens and dogs to heaven.”

Liu Wei watched from the side and turned a deaf ear. It wasn't until Zhou Yu called him that he looked respectful: "I'm here."

"We have investigated the situation of the two national grain depots and found out why there is no money and why there is no food. I will also send people here to investigate."

Liu Wei: "Yes."

After a pause, Zhou Yu said: "You guys come together and say whatever you want."

Liu Wei and Liu Yuan, look at me. I look at you and you don’t know what to say. Guangze continued to kneel on the ground and said: "I came here today to ask your majesty to take back my order. The world's aristocratic families must not be in chaos. The world's aristocratic families must not be in chaos."

It will be even harder to get the money from the aristocratic family."

"Why not?" Zhou Yu asked back: "Otherwise, why do you think I established the Imperial College and established a university? There are tens of millions of scholars in the world. Why not destroy these insects? There are no big aristocratic families and there are small aristocratic families. No small aristocratic families.

There are also scholars, the Taiwei really doesn’t think that without these aristocratic families, there is no way to manage the country, right?”

Cao Guang said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the aristocratic families control the lifeline of the country. They are the integral part of the country. The aristocratic families conduct business to benefit the people, open schools to educate the people, and guard various places as the emperor's herdsmen. If the aristocratic families are not stable, the country will be harmed."

If the family is not stable, it will suffer a heavy blow if it leaves the country."

"Many places only recognize aristocratic families but not the emperor. If there are no aristocratic families, how will your Majesty control these places? It is precisely because of the existence of aristocratic families that all places will be stable and peaceful. If there are no aristocratic families, the world will inevitably be in chaos. Your Majesty, you must not

I am acting out of impulse, and I hope Your Majesty will take back my life."

Zhou Yu shook his head gently: "Lieutenant, the importance of aristocratic families is how important they think they are. If I eliminate one aristocratic family, ten aristocratic families will appear. I will never take back what I say. If the country is unstable, the aristocratic family will not survive.

Without an emperor, there is no need for an aristocratic family."

"I don't care if the world is in chaos, and I don't care what other people think. With the Tiger Army, I am also preparing to build another Dragon Army, and there are two places in Zhongzhou and Xizhou. I can completely rebuild a new dynasty on the ruins of the family.

If you do something that destabilizes the country, then wherever our troops are directed in the future, there will no longer be aristocratic families, and they will be replaced by emerging nobles, and no one will dare to call themselves aristocratic families."

"You have to understand that the aristocratic schools are just intermediaries and tools for the ruler's rule. But if the tool wants to backfire on the master, the master can only destroy the tool and replace it with a new one. The tool must have the consciousness of the tool. Do you understand?"
