The most arrogant in history

Chapter 485: Enjoying flowers and drinking.

Jiang Yourong was moved by what he said, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty..."

"What emperor? I am your eternal Ye Dalang. The one from Cao Miao Village. I have never changed."

Ye Kun hugged Jiang Yourong, his eyes moistened.

Jiang Yourong wiped Ye Kun's tears and said with a smile: "I am worried that I come from a poor family and will be looked down upon by the world."

"You are wrong. We come from humble backgrounds and can better represent the majority of people in the world. We will receive more recognition and support."

"That's good. Anyway, I'll just take care of the harem and not interfere in other matters." Jiang Yourong nodded and sighed, "It's a pity that Youde didn't live to see this day."

Ye Kun was also sad: "I have posthumously conferred the title of Consort De on Youde. I hope her soul in heaven can rest in peace."

In fact, there is no point in posthumously giving a title.

No one is alive, and no child either.

Ye Kun pulled Jiang Yourong downstairs and let her rest.

The next day was Gongsun Zhang's abdication ceremony and Ye Kun's coronation ceremony.

Poor Gongsun Zhang, he moved the capital to Zhuo County and never sat on the throne.

The abdication ceremony and the coronation ceremony took the entire morning.

On the abdication stage, Ye Kun accepted the kneeling worship of everyone, and then said:

"This is just one time. From now on, kneeling is prohibited. Anyone who kneels again will be dismissed. It doesn't matter if I am the emperor or the king of Han. There is no need to be estranged or to restore the old red tape."

Everyone bowed and stood on both sides.

Ye Kun announced that he would confer the title of Grand Emperor to Gongsun Zhang, grant him ten gifts, and send him to the Hongfu Palace to live out his retirement.

Hongfu Palace is located outside the imperial city, in the inner city.

Xiahou Chang was conferred the title of King of Goguryeo, although Goguryeo had not yet been conquered.

Most of the other ministers were granted titles of king or duke, but they had no actual fiefdoms, only the empty titles of king or duke, and their salaries were increased.

According to convention, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he must grant amnesty to the entire country.

Ye Kun announced that all prisoners with sentences of less than three years would be pardoned and released immediately; those with sentences of three to ten years would have their sentences halved; those with sentences of more than ten years would have five years reduced;

Serious crimes such as murder, arson, and treason shall not be exempted.

It was also announced that all factories and mines would take turns taking seven days off, and wages would be paid as usual.

Regarding civilian taxation, Ye Kun announced that the people would no longer hand in firewood, hay and grass for fodder, but instead the imperial court would purchase them.

In the past, the firewood for cooking and the grass for feeding cattle and horses in the imperial court and military camps were all borne by the people.

Now that we are vigorously mining coal and cutting down trees to make charcoal, farmers can be relieved of this part of the burden.

Local transportation pressure will also be alleviated.

The military horse farm is basically self-sufficient in fodder. If it is not enough, they spend money to buy it.

Business groups should not be offended either.

Ye Kun announced that within one year, merchants entering and leaving the new capital of Zhuo County would be exempt from entry fees.

For a moment, everyone was happy and celebrating.

The next day, the wives of civil officials and military generals came to pay a visit to Jiang Yourong, Liu Yuejuan, Xie Baochan and others, and the harem was bustling for a whole day.

Jiang Yourong was not good at socializing and was very tired.

Xie Baochan, on the other hand, was like a fish in water, arranging the scene clearly and concisely.

In the evening, Ye Kun accompanied Liu Yuejuan and said with a smile:

"Madam Yuejuan, I have also conferred titles of nobility on your two younger brothers and arranged for them to live in the inner city. It will be very convenient for you to visit them in the future."

These two silly brothers are the emperor's uncles after all, so Ye Kun cannot help but take care of them.

Two years ago, Ye Kun asked Tan Bamao to arrange for Yuejuan's two younger brothers to get married, and now they both have children.

After constant teaching, the two silly brothers don't seem so silly anymore and look like decent adults.

Yue Juan smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. My two younger brothers are not very smart, but their children are very clever. Please take good care of them in the future."

"Need I say that? I will treat your brother's son as my own son from now on!"

"My brother is blessed to have you as his brother-in-law, the emperor. I can live a peaceful life until old age."

Yuejuan smiled and said, "Forget all the gold and silver rewards. I still have some money here, so I can give some to my brother to cover his food and drink expenses."

Ye Kun nodded and agreed with Yuejuan's opinion.

As the night deepened, the two of them rested together.

Still so gluey...

After the tenderness, Yuejuan curled up in Ye Kun's arms and asked:

"Kunlang, now that you are the emperor, you don't have to move anymore, right? Should we live here until we grow old?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "The world is huge, and I still have many places to visit. It's important for me to go and see them myself, and then I can feel at ease. But Sang Buyi and others won't let me go, and it's difficult. It's better to be a businessman than an emperor, so I can travel around."

"But there are so many businessmen who want to be emperors but fail. You should be content."

"Yes, I am content with you."

Ye Kun felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.

Yue Juan couldn't sleep. She looked at Ye Kun's facial features and smiled, "You live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the tail of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day but I can't see you. Let's drink the water of the Yangtze River together..."

This is the love poem that Ye Kun wrote to Yuejuan that year.

Every word is engraved in Yuejuan's heart.

The next morning, Ye Kun and Yue Juan were still sleeping, but were awakened by the eunuch Huang Ye: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and attend the court."

Ye Kun was startled and sat up.

Yuejuan also sat up, looked at the clock beside her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's still early, it's only six o'clock in the morning, and the sky is just getting light."

Ye Kun complained: "It's only six o'clock and we have to go to work? This is too early. We need to change it!"

After getting dressed and washing up, Huang Ye respectfully invited Ye Kun to have breakfast.

The Queen and the ladies have all arrived.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "My ladies, it's too early to have breakfast at this time. The weather in the north is cold, and I'm afraid you are not used to it. You can discuss the arrangement of three meals a day in the future. It's the same if you like to eat in your own palace."

According to royal rules, there are certain rules for farting, and too many restrictions would make people uncomfortable.

Jiang Yourong nodded: "Today is a reunion dinner, we will arrange it after today."

After breakfast, Ye Kun went to the main hall.

All the civil and military officials are waiting.

Ye Kun did not sit in the Golden Palace. Instead, he invited everyone to hold a meeting in the Nine Departments Hall. Just like before, everyone sat down.

"Everyone, from now on, the Golden Throne Hall will not be open unless we are receiving foreign envoys, or for major celebrations or ceremonies. Normally, we will work in the Nine Departments Hall.

State affairs are also mainly based on the opinions of the nine ministries. I am responsible for stamping them. The nine ministries hold a meeting every three days, and I try my best to attend.

From now on, I will go to get off work at 8 am and get off work at 11:30 pm. I will go to work at 1:30 pm and get off work at 5:30 pm. The rest days will remain the same as before, so I will take a rest when I need to. "

Sang Buyi said, "The court starts too late every day. I'm afraid everyone will gradually become distracted."

"As long as you get off work and get off work on time and focus on work efficiency, you don't have to get up so early and waste time."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "No matter if it's the ministers of the nine ministries or the officials below, you can't treat people like cattle and horses. Everyone has their own private affairs. They should always have time to spend with their family, see friends, appreciate flowers and drink, right?"
