Chapter 37: Emperor Xueye's Decision
Tiandou Palace.
Compared with the ease in Yuexuan, the palace hall seemed a little silent at this time.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to execute all those children? They are all disciples of the royal family. Even if they are only disciples of side branches, it will be detrimental to the loyalty of the future kingdoms and principalities to the empire."
A pot-bellied man dressed in gorgeous prince's clothes said hesitantly that his fat and oily skin could "refract light".
"You shouldn't get involved in this matter. You have no sense at all. You accepted some benefits from those bastard parents and then spoke for them. What's in your head?
I increasingly feel that handing over the affairs of Tiandou Royal Academy to Qinghe is the right thing to do. Although Qinghe is young, he can see the interests involved and has taken the initiative to visit Muchen and Ning Rongrong.
You have been in the court for so long, haven't you made any progress at all? "
On the dragon throne, a white-haired old man said helplessly. Although his stature was not very tall, he was not angry and had the aura of a superior. At this moment, his face with many wrinkles was full of helplessness.
"What kind of children are they? They are all adults. What kind of children are they? I have disliked them for a long time. They have been doing evil for so long.
By the way, I heard from Qinghe that Xue Beng was close to those people." Emperor Xue Ye said in a bad tone.
If he didn't know that the person in front of him was his brother, Emperor Xue Ye would really doubt whether this guy had any brains. They were born from the same mother, so how could he be so stupid?
"Your Majesty, Xue Beng's contact with them was just normal contact, and it did not involve any other criminal activities." Prince Xuexing quickly denied.
"It's better not to. Ning Fengzhi will come to question me soon. I hope he won't pursue these matters too much.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to end it." Emperor Xue Ye looked at the ceiling and said helplessly.
Although he is the emperor of the Tiandou Empire, he cannot do whatever he wants on some things.
In the secret competition with the Spirit Hall, I was becoming more and more powerless and was repeatedly at a disadvantage. Sigh~
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now." Prince Xuexing said somewhat unwillingly, and then after getting a nod from Emperor Xue Ye, he planned to leave.
"Tell Xue Beng not to cause trouble for me, otherwise I will have the heart to put him under house arrest for eight or ten years." The words of Emperor Xue Ye rang out behind him.
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will definitely warn Prince Avalanche." Prince Xuexing replied respectfully, then turned and left again.
However, his eyes were full of gloom. Emperor Xue Ye was becoming more and more satisfied and fond of Xue Qinghe, and more and more dissatisfied with Xue Beng.
From then on, Avalanche will have fewer and fewer opportunities, and it will become increasingly difficult for me to support Avalanche to take the top spot.
After Prince Xuexing left, Emperor Xue Ye took out the proposal for the establishment of Tiandou Royal Academy that Xue Qinghe had written to him before.
"There are many reasons for the gap in soul master power between the Empire and the Spirit Hall, the most critical of which is that the strength base of the Empire's soul masters is far smaller than that of the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall awakens martial souls for civilians free of charge, and civilians make up the absolute majority in terms of numbers. Even if the quality of awakened martial souls and soul power is not as good as that of the Empire and other soul master forces, the base number is really too large.
Even if only one out of a hundred people succeeds, the number of people who awaken their martial souls and soul power is far greater than that of other soul master forces and empires, and most of these civilian soul masters will also belong to the Spirit Hall, which makes the Spirit Hall more and more powerful.
On the other hand, except for the Spirit Hall, the Empire and other spirit master forces all look down on the power contained in these civilians and are only concerned with awakening the spirits of their own people.
However, soul masters are only a minority after all. Complacency will only make their own strength weaker and weaker. The originally relatively small number of soul masters in the empire are basically all nobles.
The nobles generally have a bad morale and are not motivated to make progress, which makes matters worse. If this continues, the gap between the Empire and the Spirit Hall in terms of the power of soul masters will only get bigger and bigger."
“Therefore, I suggest the following:
First, in the name of the empire, help civilians awaken their martial spirits. First, conduct a pilot program in Tiandou. After it is suitable, gradually expand the scope. It is best to use the number and quality of awakened martial spirits as one of the criteria for evaluating officials' performance, and force local governments to implement it.
Second, the imperial academies can appropriately accept civilian academies, and in addition to tuition and miscellaneous fees, the empire will allocate financial support as a special support fund.
Rewards will be given to civilian students with outstanding performance, and Tiandou Royal Academy will be used as a pilot as the first place in the empire to officially accept civilian students;
Third, the aristocratic customs should be rectified. True aristocrats should not be a group of people hated by everyone.
——Written by Qinghe himself. "
Emperor Xue Ye glanced through it slowly, his expression very complicated.
"Qinghe, you are right. In fact, monarchs of all dynasties have already thought of and implemented similar practices.
Sadly, it turns out that this doesn’t work.
The nobles of the empire will not allow these commoners to snatch the resources that belong to them, especially the resources for cultivation. Without the absolute power advantage, how can the nobles suppress these commoners and maintain their privileges over them?
It is impossible for the nobles to accept this, and our royal family is the greatest noble family.
Qinghe, human desires are like rocks rolling down a mountain; once they start, they can never be stopped.
When the power of the common people becomes strong enough, they will compete for the resources of the nobles!
Therefore, we nobles must imprison these stones at the bottom of the mountain as absolute strong men!" Emperor Xue Ye stood up and said lightly.
Looking at the empty hall, Emperor Xue Ye coughed a few times and left the hall.
Among the suggestions written by Xue Qinghe, only the last one, which was about adjusting the customs of the nobles themselves, was adopted. The others had to be invalidated. There was no need to even let the ministers of the empire discuss this matter. It was meaningless.
In the Moon Pavilion.
"Bad guy, I have to go back. As the crown prince, I still have things to do." Qian Renxue packed her clothes, then got up and said.
"Well, Xue'er, you can visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect frequently as Uncle Ning's disciple in the future, and we can meet often." Muchen said with a smile.
"Tui!
I don't want to, you bad guy, it would be better if you came to me yourself." Qian Renxue blushed.
Don’t you know that girls should be reserved, you bad guy?
