The most arrogant in history

Chapter 453 Liu Ai asks about politics.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember it."

Xie Baochan, Liu Yuejuan and others all burst out laughing.

Another report came from outside the door that ministers from nine ministries had come to visit.

Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "Tell all the adults that I am fine now, so don't worry about me. Let everyone go back and hold meetings as usual tomorrow."

After the nine ministers left, Gongsun Zhang came to visit again.

Ye Kun had no choice but to receive him personally, bowing and saluting: "How did you disturb the emperor? It's a sin. My left arm is injured and I can't salute. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Brother Crown Prince, please don't be polite between you and me."

Gongsun Zhang stepped forward and supported Ye Kun: "I have told you before that you should bring more guards when you go out to prevent assassins, but you always don't listen, which makes me worried."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine now."

Ye Kun smiled and ordered a banquet to entertain the emperor.

There are no outsiders here tonight, just Ye Kun and Gongsun Zhang.

After three rounds of drinking, Gongsun Zhang said:

"I am getting older day by day, and I have decided to abdicate. Brother Crown Prince, thanks to your care, I have lived for more than ten years and became the emperor. I am willing to give up the throne to you, but there is one thing I want to discuss with you."

Ye Kun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I will tell you the truth. I don't care whether I become the emperor or not. What I want is to build a huge Chinese country that truly dominates the world and allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

"But it's very difficult, very difficult." Gongsun Zhang sighed:

"After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, rituals and music were broken and people's hearts were no longer the same. The power of the emperor became more and more powerful, so everyone wanted to be the emperor. Every emperor wanted to rule the country for 10,000 years, but few thought about the people.

The emperors of all dynasties only did two things. First, they found a group of people to manage the people; second, they sucked the blood and fat of the people to support themselves and the management team.

Ye Kun was shocked and said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, who told you this?"

Indeed, the imperial courts of all dynasties only did two things.

One is to establish a team to manage the people;

One is to maintain the team and manage the people forever!

As for benefiting the people, developing production, and increasing the population, it is still for the purpose of better managing the people and continuing to suck their blood for the sake of their own descendants!

Gongsun Zhang was really ahead of his time to realize this.

This made Ye Kun wonder if this guy was a time traveler like himself!

Gongsun Zhang smiled and said, "In the past ten years or so, I have been reading whenever I have nothing to do. What I just said is what I learned from the book."

"Your Majesty, seeing this is equivalent to seeing through the world." Ye Kun smiled bitterly and asked, "You just said that you have something to discuss with me, I wonder what it is?"

Gongsun Zhang stood up and saluted Ye Kun.

Ye Kun hurriedly stood up to return the greeting.

Gongsun Zhang smiled and said, "What I mean is, if you become the emperor, can you not change the name of the country? Can you continue to use the Great Ding Kingdom?"

Ye Kun understood and said with a wry smile: "I understand what you mean. You are afraid that you will become the king of a fallen country, and that future generations will say that the name of Da Ding was destroyed in your hands, right?"

"Yes, the Great Ding Kingdom lasted for four hundred years, but it ended in my hands. I always feel sorry for my ancestors..."

"I haven't decided on a new name for the country yet."

Ye Kun pondered and said, "I hope to choose a suitable country name to unite our descendants of Yan and Huang and the nine states of China. Emperor Gaozu's fiefdom was called Han, and many people in the Chinese nation call themselves Han people. Therefore, I still want to use 'Han' as the country's name to strengthen the national spirit..."

Gongsun Zhang sighed: "I am just suggesting it. The specific steps should be decided by the Crown Prince."

Ye Kun said: "Don't worry, I will always admit that the Great Han Kingdom originated from the Great Ding Dynasty of China. Or, the name of the country should be just two words, Han Ding!"

Gongsun Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Handing Kingdom is pretty good."

Ye Kun nodded: "Let's put it this way, and we'll discuss it with everyone later."

Gongsun Zhang was very happy. He drank two more cups and then stood up to say goodbye.

Ye Kun had to take a rest before going to the study to review the planning of Xindu Science and Technology City.

Jasmine was waiting on the side and took the time to say, "Uncle, you were injured today and were frightened. You should go to bed early. I saw that your left arm could not move and you looked very uncomfortable..."

"I've applied some medicine. It will be fine in two days."

Ye Kun nodded: "You go to bed, Jasmine, I will sleep later."

"No, I'll stay here with you." Of course Jasmine didn't leave.

It was nearly one o'clock in the morning.

Ye Kun finally finished his work and put down his pen.

Jasmine helped Ye Kun back to the bedroom behind the study and asked the maids to fetch water for Ye Kun to bathe.

Ye Kun couldn't move one hand, so he had to accept Jasmine's service.

Sitting in the bathtub, Ye Kun sighed, "Jasmine, I treated you as a little sister at the beginning...but you didn't want to leave me, I'm afraid I'll wrong you in the future."

"Uncle, I just follow you, there is no grievance."

"Then don't call me uncle from now on." Ye Kun held Jasmine's little hand.

It is as soft as boneless, with a luster like white jade.

"I'm used to it." Jasmine smiled shyly.

Ye Kun also smiled: "Okay, as long as you like it..."

Duoduo is already married, and she has a daughter named Moli.

The girl refused to leave, so Ye Kun had no choice but to respect her choice.

With Jasmine's careful care, Ye Kun also felt very comfortable and warm.

The next day, Ye Kun slept in.

He got up at sunrise, washed up under the care of Jasmine, and went to preside over the meetings of the nine ministries.

Zhuge Feng’s passing made Ye Kun much busier.

At today's meeting of the nine ministries, all the heads and deputy heads of the nine ministries were present, and there was one more person.

It's just the pretentious criminal Liu Ai.

This guy came early this morning, dressed quite smartly and changed into new clothes, which looked much better than yesterday.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Liu Ai, look at the meeting room of Department 9, where can you sit?"

Liu Ai said calmly: "That depends on what position the King of Han gives me."

Ye Kun stood up and said, "Come on, come on, take my seat. As long as you do better than me, I will give you my seat."

Everyone covered their faces and laughed.

Liu Ai was really rude. He clasped his fists, walked to Ye Kun's seat, and sat down casually.

Everyone was shocked.

Tan Bamao shouted, "Liu Ai, is this the seat you can sit in?"

"It was the King of Han who asked me to sit here. I was just following his orders."

Liu Ai ignored Tan Bamao and bowed to everyone, saying, "Let's discuss the matter. I'll listen first."

Ye Kun chuckled and sat down in the secretary position behind Liu Ai: "Let's do as Liu Ai said and have a meeting."

Qin Chou stood up and said:

"The situation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Sericulture has just been released. In the Central Plains, 700,000 mu of mulberry fields have been cleared this year and transformed into arable land. Rapeseed will be planted in the fall and cotton will be planted next year. Over one million mu of hemp fields have been cleared and treated in the same way, and will be used to plant cotton next year.

Local officials are somewhat worried and hope that the cotton planting area will not be increased and the mulberry and hemp fields will be kept at an appropriate level.
