"The emperor, the spy sent by the old slave today noticed something. There was a lot of news about the emperor outside, which was very bad."

Xie Jin lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Tell me as I go."

Wang Chong doesn't care. He is afraid that a few ministers who have no military power will fail?

Afterwards, Xie Jin told the story of the people in the world scolding the emperor.

Wang Chong was secretly surprised when he heard this: "What? The ministers who rumored outside were jailed because of tax reduction? I built the harem to enjoy it? Hahaha... Hahaha... Yes, my uncle is indeed extraordinary, and I can think of such a way."

"Your Majesty, don't take it lightly. If these news spread, it will be troublesome if it arouses public anger."

He Taigao said worriedly.

"Don't worry, big companion, I have a solution to reputation."

Wang Chong didn't say much, and brought two eunuchs He Taigao and Xie Jin, as well as a team of imperial guards and guards out of the palace.

On this day, the prefect Lu Pingying finally waited for Wang Chong to come over with uneasy.

The sun is very strong today, and the huge team of emperors is walking on the road.

This was the first time Wang Chong had come to the bustling street outside the palace for so long. It was obvious that the people in the capital were living a pretty good life, and they were all rich and noble families wearing clothes and food.

The more you go out, the smaller the house and the more poor people are.

Wang Chong looked at it and felt deeply moved. It seemed that if the Da Yan Dynasty wanted to become stronger, it was not only the treacherous ministers of the court who had to deal with it, but also to find ways to increase the people's income.

It was very windy outside and the weather was a little cold. Wang Chong also noticed that some of the children were wearing thin clothes, and their big eyes stared at him curiously.

"Son, don't look."

The mother pressed her son's head and did not dare to look at Wang Chong.

This is the majesty of the emperor.

"The national strength is still too weak."

Wang Chong sighed slightly. He had also studied the country map of Da Yanchao these days.

The Da Yanchao is wide in area and seems extremely powerful, but it is surrounded by powerful enemies.

His Da Yan Chao is now like a fragrant bun. If the powerful enemies around him take a bite, they can severely damage Da Yan Chao.

According to his understanding, the border guards have been disbanded since Zhao Luan's father's death, and he does not have a strong army to use.

On the surface, there are hundreds of thousands of troops on his border, but I don’t know how many of them can be used.

Because he had already discovered something very realistic, the original owner Luo Zhao didn't know how to command the border defenders.

In other words, if the defenders rebel, he would have no way to check or balance now.

It is okay to rely solely on the 20,000 Imperial Guards to defend against traitors, but it is not enough to quell the rebellion or something.

Rebuilding troops requires a lot of money.

Silver and silver!

Wang Chong felt more and more headaches.

Soon, the vast team arrived outside the prefectural yamen and stopped.

He Xi bent down to the door and shouted to the door: "The emperor is here!!!"

This He Xi is worthy of being a little eunuch who was favored by He Taigao. With this shout, he can tell how powerful his internal strength is.

Immediately, a group of people came out in the yamen.

Everyone, including the people around, knelt down and shouted in unison: "Keep to the Emperor, long live the emperor!"

To be honest, Wang Chong is not a person with strong vanity, but seeing this scene still made him feel deeply moved.

No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, it tastes different.

He immediately shouted majestic: "Flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood up, and Lu Pingying, who was at the gate of the yamen, walked over nervously. Maybe it was because of guilt, so he didn't dare to look up at Wang Chong.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared some evidence about the sinner's sudden mention. Please wait for the emperor to check the outcome." Lu Pingying said carefully.

"Um."

The king nodded and shouted to Lu Pingying: "I am going to open a public trial and bring all the things to the city wall square. I want my people to see. In the future, the prince will be punished with the common people if he breaks the law!"

Isn’t it circulating outside that he harms loyalty? The so-called rumors depend on opening their mouths, and if they deny the rumors, they will break their legs.

It is useless to refute these rumors. What Wang Jin did is to try the case in front of everyone.

Only by letting the people see it as a truth can we know that he is a wise monarch.

Of course, this is the first solution. The world is too big and he cannot run over one by one.

The second method is to learn from the US imperialists and learn from the US imperialists’ powerful public opinion propaganda.

He wanted to start the first Da Yanchao newspaper to spread the story about how he governs the country and how he complies with the people's sentiments.

The US empire relies on its powerful media to make people from other countries trust him.

However, the problem now is that papermaking in ancient times was underdeveloped, and paper was too expensive for ordinary people.

So Wang Chong is preparing to improve papermaking technology later so that everyone can afford paper. At that moment, it will be the moment when the media of Dayan Dynasty was developed.

The prince violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people!

As soon as these words came out, the people around them began to whisper.

Everyone is unbelievable, how is this possible...

Wang Chong smiled and said nothing. As for Lu Pingying, led by He Taigao, went down to work hard.

After working hard for more than an hour, Wang Chong had already arrived under the giant square under the city wall.

In the scorching sun, Wang Chong sat on the city wall, and the people below looked at him curiously.

He was not in a hurry, but he made He Taigao and Xie Jin anxious.

There are too many people around, what if there are assassins?

The two of them had urged Wang Chong to persuade him before, but Wang Chong rejected him.

"Bring it up." Wang Chong shouted.

He was still guilty and was escorted by a bracelet and anklet.

However, judging from his mental state, it was much better than before in prison.

After raising his salute, Lu Pingying walked over, stood in front of Wang Chong, and respectfully handed over the evidence that it was said to be a violent crime.

"Your Majesty, this is a crime that the criminal has brought up. When he was the general of the left squad, he deducted hundreds of soldiers' salaries. In more than five years, he lost hundreds of thousands of taels."

"There are confessions of the soldiers who have been deducted from their salary. Please check it out."

Wang Chong glanced casually for a few seconds and lost interest. He said lightly: "These contents are just ordinary people drafting evidence. Anyone who writes novels is better than this one."

"this…………"

A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Pingying's eyes. As expected, the emperor said so to protect Lu Pingying.

"Your Majesty, these are the evidence collected by Weichen who visited many of his former subordinates and never made any mistakes." Lu Pingying explained patiently.

"Is that true?" Wang Chong looked at Lu Pingying and said, "Actually, these silvers were taken by me by the general. It was just because it was a military matter and the idle people could not know it, so they were misunderstood."

"Your Majesty, you..."

Lu Pingying was stunned.

Originally, he thought that Wang Chong might have various ways to help get rid of the crime, and he prepared a lot of evidence of corruption and abuse of power.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong used this excuse to make excuses, which made him feel weak.

"Prince Lu, I didn't expect that you were looking for these things. It seems that they were really wronged and mentioned." Wang Chong sighed.

"Your Majesty, I even made a mistake..."

At this moment, Lu Pingying's son suddenly stood up and spoke.

But before he finished speaking, Wang Chong stared at him coldly and said, "Who are you? Did I let you speak?"

Lu Pingying hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is the son of a humble minister, Lu Liang."

Lu Liang quickly knelt down: "The emperor who was disturbed by the cattle people, Lu Liang deserves to die. Please forgive me."

"Hmph, I hate people who are unruly the most. I should have executed you, but since you are the son of Lu Gong, I will let you go!"

Lu Pingying breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Chong's next words made his heart tugged.

"However, death penalty can be avoided, and living penalty cannot be escaped. Just beat the twenty big boards, thank you!"

"I'm here!" Xie Jin came over.

"Lu Liang, the son of the prefect Lu Gong, dares to contradict me and punish me with twenty penalties, and execute it immediately!"
