After exhausting myself to death

No one responded.

Probably because they didn't expect Shen Minghuan to say such unscrupulous words so confidently, everyone kneeling on the ground was a little silent, and they really didn't know how to answer these words.

Shen Minghuan continued: "As for equalizing the land, I must do it, but I am kind and will give you time to think about it."

The "merciful" Shen Minghuan looked pointedly at Lu Pei who had just been killed by him on the ground, "Let's start with the unowned wasteland outside the city and the fields owned by the imperial court."

He added an accent to the words "owned by the imperial court". It was obvious that Lu Pei's home was also going to be ransacked.

This makes people doubt Shen Minghuan's purpose. Is it that if the court lacks something, he will kill people and confiscate their homes? Use them as the key to getting rich, right?

This time the minister really hesitated.

If their own death can save the family's glory and wealth, then that's it. But if the matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, and the family's land is destined to be lost, then of course they still want to live.

Knowing that there was a high probability that no one would be killed by Shen Minghuan today, Luo Xiuyuan and Qu Zhengcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if this person kills people in the future, that will be a matter for the future. Let your future self worry about it. Qu Zhengcheng straightened his back, thinking sadly and happily.

Shen Minghuan's eyes swept over the people who were still standing one by one, asking him to think about who should handle the matter of equalizing the land?

First of all, of course, you must have good character and integrity. You must not seek profit from this matter, and you must not betray your own persistence for some small gains.

Equal fields, equal fields, the most important thing is the word "equal".

Whether it is ordinary people or powerful officials, their fates are many and unfair. At least in any decision made by Shen Minghuan, they all enjoy the same treatment.

Secondly, you must be capable, otherwise you may be deceived by the gentry into selling out and having to help count the money.

This person must have the courage to dare to offend the family, and he must be able to count the acres of land, know the number of fertile fields and secondary fields, and know how to distribute them to convince the people.

Since we have agreed to be fair, we must be blameless.

There are not many people who satisfy these two points at the same time, but there are still a few out there.

Shen Minghuan's eyes lingered on Lu Zhi, Lin Zhihang and others.

The division of land in Yanling is just the beginning. In the future, this decree will be implemented to every inch of land under the bright moon. By then, those responsible for this matter will inevitably have to take the lead and rush to the most difficult and painful places.

Therefore, this person must be in good health, and at least support it long enough to complete the experiment of this policy and sort out the relevant laws.

Shen Minghuan was thoughtful, his eyes lingering on Lu Suiping's hair for a long time.

It’s so dark and plentiful, one look at it and you can tell that you can still fight for Da Qi for ten years!

Shen Minghuan's eyes burned brightly.

Lu Suiping is only young compared to Lu Zhi and others, and because of his good looks, he looks much younger than his actual age.

In fact, the youngest among these people is Qu Zhengcheng. But Qu Zhengcheng is the prime minister and cannot leave Kyoto easily.

He must assist the emperor in maintaining the operation of the entire huge dynasty, and even if the emperor has an accident, he must take care of it in time.

What's more, Qu Zhengcheng's burden will only become heavier. He has already been booked for more than a dozen jobs by Shen Minghuan - without him even knowing it.

Shen Minghuan was also helpless. It was a fact that there was a talent gap in the Qi Dynasty. Yin Shuhuai finally came out. Unfortunately, instead of saving the declining imperial court, he got himself involved.

So much so that the physical work now has to be done by these veterans who have worked hard all their lives.

Lu Suiping was stared at by Shen Minghuan in horror, and he took a step back unconsciously.

Qu Zhengcheng didn't know why, but a chill suddenly surged behind his back. He looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.

"Master Lu." Shen Minghuan made the final decision, "I'll leave this matter to you, is that okay?"

"Me?" Lu Suiping was slightly startled, forgetting for a moment that he had made such a childish determination not to talk to Shen Minghuan, he asked in confusion: "Why me?"

Shen Minghuan was confused: "Aren't you willing?"

It shouldn’t be. Aren’t these people all eager to participate in this major change? You don't see it, but Lin Zhihang next to you is already so greedy that tears are flowing from his mouth.

"Of course not!" Lu Suiping objected firmly.

He just took it for granted that Shen Minghuan would not pay attention to him.

Yes, everyone wants to accomplish this big thing that can be recorded in history, and the relationship between each of them and Shen Minghuan is far better than that between him and Shen Minghuan.

Lu Suiping compared his feelings with his own. If someone was so offended and alienated from him, even if he didn't retaliate maliciously, at least he wouldn't give him a good look, let alone trust him with such a heavy responsibility without any grudges.

Shen Minghuan didn't know what was going on in the other person's mind. To be precise, he didn't even realize there was something wrong with Lu Suiping's attitude towards him.

Repulse, despise, keep away? Isn't this normal? He Zhang still wanted to kill him.

Shen Minghuan is convinced that all the ministers still have the same view of him as Lu Suiping.

As for other people who seem to be very friendly to him lately? Just pretend. They have been pretending for so many years, and they must be very good at this kind of fictitiousness and subterfuge.

But it doesn't matter, whether it's disgust or hatred, it doesn't affect him anyway.

"As long as you are willing. This plan can be regarded as the foundation of the country. For generations to come, I will leave it to Duke Lu." Shen Ming said with a smile.

Lu Suiping's blood boiled when he heard this, "I will not give up even if I die!"

The court fell into silence for a period of time. Some people were excited and some were afraid. Shen Minghuan looked around boredly and saw that no one spoke, so he asked tentatively: "Since you all have no objections, why don't you withdraw from the court?"

It's just that his probing tone sounded like a warning to others.

Shen Minghuan's current status is no different from that of the emperor. Now that he has announced his resignation, according to the procedure, a eunuch will loudly convey the news.

Shen Minghuan glanced at the little eunuch who was shaking like chaff.

After Luo Xiuyuan came down from the top, he was the only one on the high platform.

The little eunuch was obviously more at a loss, his lips turned white, and he seemed to have lost his perception of the outside world.

Shen Minghuan clicked his tongue and raised his voice slightly: "Retreat from the court——"

"My Emperor is... ah?" The distracted courtier read out this congratulation instinctively. Halfway through, he suddenly realized that the "retreat from the court" just now was actually shouted by Shen Minghuan.

The already frightened expression suddenly became a little distorted, making it look particularly weird.

Shen Minghuan did not deliberately suppress his voice to make his voice sharp. His expression and movements were extremely natural.

Its voice is smooth and clear, and the clearer it becomes, the longer it becomes.

If the jade stones knock against each other, it also looks like a clear spring among the pines.

——But this cannot hide that what he is doing is a eunuch!

How ridiculous? Why are you so willing to humble yourself?

But no one dared to laugh.

They looked at Shen Minghuan with complicated eyes. Does this person know what he is doing?

The little eunuch didn't know when he stopped trembling. He stood there blankly, suddenly looking at Shen Minghuan in a daze.

Are eunuchs considered human beings? Throughout the ages, even if he is nine thousand years old and has great power, everyone is respectful in person, but they don't know how much they despise him in their hearts.

Everyone was ashamed to be in their company and called them geldings, as if just mentioning them would bring bad luck.

The young eunuch was used to this. He looked down on the eunuch before he entered the palace. But after he became an eunuch, he became more accustomed to it.

I'm used to putting myself in an inferior position and getting used to the contempt in everyone's eyes, because it's so normal, isn't it?

"Lord!" Chen Xiaoyu exclaimed. There seemed to be thousands of words in his chest that were about to burst out of his mouth, but he suppressed his blush and could not say a single word.

Chen Xiaoyu couldn't tell what it felt like. He half felt that Shen Minghuan was humiliated, and half admired this man's broad mind. The mixture of anger and emotion made him feel uncomfortable.

If you don’t know how to say it, just do it.

Chen Xiaoyu knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and called out again: "Lord."

He knelt so hard that his knees made contact with the ground, making a dull sound.

Shen Minghuan's eyelids jumped when he heard this, "What's wrong?"

Shen Minghuan doesn't like to force anyone. No matter before or now, he assigns tasks based on the other party's willingness.

Since he called him "King", they became his responsibility. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. Anyway, he can support them for a lifetime.

Some people once said that sooner or later he would be taught a lesson for this approach and concept, but Shen Minghuan scoffed.

All in all, from Shen Minghuan's point of view, there is essentially no difference between what Lu Suiping and the little eunuch have to do. They are just a job. Since the little eunuch doesn't want to do it, he can just finish it casually. It's no big deal.

Oh, of course, with the exception of "king", "king" is never just a job.

So he naturally didn't understand what everyone was thinking at this time. He didn't know that in the eyes of many people, a position was not equal to responsibility, but only equal to status.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Minghuan looked at Chen Xiaoyu who was kneeling on the ground, and asked suspiciously: "Are you in trouble? I don't blame you, just get up and talk."

"Subordinates will not get into trouble and drag down the master." Chen Xiaoyu said in a dull tone and stood up obediently.

"Ming Huan..." Luo Xiuyuan understood what others were thinking after a moment's thought, but he didn't know how to explain it to Shen Minghuan.

The little eunuch is still standing there. Those concepts that are deeply rooted in people's hearts are dirty. No matter how you modify the words, they will still hurt people after all.

Shen Minghuan felt that everyone in the court was acting strangely, "No one dares to leave until I leave, right? Well, I will take the lead and everyone will disperse. By the way, dear friends, you should think carefully about your offer after you return." It’s a matter of Tian’.”

"Oh", "Oh" you are a dead head! Disgusting.

All the ministers secretly cursed, but on the outside they were all smiling: "Definitely, definitely."

Shen Minghuan waved his hand gracefully and was about to take Chen Xiaoyu away. The ministers did not dare to move and just watched on the spot.

Luo Xiuyuan was a little anxious: "Ming Huan, stay!"

Shen Minghuan stopped.
