After Ling Feng's words, the entire Southern Study fell silent. Therefore, Lin Zhenliang, Lin Tianshu, and Li Cheng were all intelligent men; they couldn't possibly be unaware of the emperor's implied meaning.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the four great families have colluded with many officials in the capital, and there must be quite a few of them engaging in favoritism and corruption. They should be arrested one by one!"
Li Cheng stepped forward and spoke.
"Your Majesty, you must not act rashly!"
Lin Zhenliang said, “His Majesty has just issued a new policy to encourage people to do business. If someone becomes rich because of their good business practices but then faces the court confiscating their property, it will inevitably make people think that His Majesty is plundering the people’s wealth. The people will also lose faith in His Majesty’s new policy, which would undoubtedly be the biggest blow to His Majesty’s administration.”
Li Cheng said, "What the Prime Minister said is not without reason, but the four great families are becoming increasingly arrogant and no longer respect the Emperor and the court. Moreover, they are colluding with officials in the capital and have already posed a threat to the court. Shouldn't they be eliminated?"
Lin Zhenliang said, “Commander Li, we must handle everything with caution. Even if your Embroidered Uniform Guard arrests people, you need solid evidence. Without solid evidence, if the court rashly raids the four great families, what will the people think, and what will the officials say about the Emperor?”
Ling Feng watched Lin Zhenliang and Li Cheng argue back and forth, nodding with satisfaction. Seeing Lin Tianshu standing silently to the side, he asked curiously, "Minister Lin, don't you have any objections?"
Lin Tianshu said, "Your Majesty, I believe that a country has its laws, and a family has its rules. Nothing can be accomplished without rules, and everything should be handled in accordance with the law."
Ling Feng nodded and said, "So you mean the same as the Prime Minister?"
Lin Tianshu said, "I believe that the four great families do indeed collude with officials in the capital, and they have also monopolized the supply of daily necessities in the city, thus affecting the court's control over trade! I think we should take a two-pronged approach. First, we should order the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate the collusion between the four great families and officials in the capital. If there is evidence, they should be severely punished according to the law. Second, we must support merchants outside the four great families, giving them more business support to create a diverse business environment in the capital. This will prevent the four great families from monopolizing the market. We cannot simply confiscate their property to bring down the four great families; instead, we should weaken their influence in the capital while continuing to support them, unless they commit an unforgivable crime."
Lin Zhenliang nodded and said, "What Minister Lin says is very true, Your Majesty."
Ling Feng asked, "Given the monopolistic position of the four great families in the capital, how can we support the development of other businesses?"
Lin Tianshu said, "I believe that if we start by purchasing tribute items for the imperial palace, all problems will be easily solved."
Ling Feng asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Tianshu said, "Previously, the procurement of supplies within the palace was handled by the four great families. If the Emperor were to switch all the procurement of supplies within the palace to merchants other than the four great families, a trend would emerge in the capital. When the products of other merchants become imperial tributes, firstly, they can directly profit from the tributes to the court, and secondly, the purchasing trends of the people in the capital would also change. The common people always regard following the Emperor as an honor, so if the Emperor uses something for his own use, the common people will follow suit and buy it. This is equivalent to giving these merchants free advertising, and they will gain a large number of businesses and customers. As their business increases, the business of the four great families will naturally decline. In this way, the monopoly of the four great families will be broken, and a diverse and flourishing market will naturally emerge."
Ling Feng nodded and said, "This is an excellent idea, in my opinion. This matter will be handled by Minister Lin. We will choose a date to change the merchants who will provide the tribute to the palace. Moreover, I have another idea: the merchants who provide the tribute do not need to be fixed. We can adopt a rotation system and an elimination system. In addition, any surplus funds raised this time to establish a national bank can also be used for some government departments. For example, the government can also establish grain shops. Firstly, this will help farmers purchase their grain and prevent merchants from driving down prices, which would harm farmers. Secondly, the government's rice shops can also help stabilize rice prices in cities and prevent unscrupulous merchants from speculating and causing excessively high prices."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianshu was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty is wise; this is truly an excellent strategy for governing the country."
Lin Zhenliang also excitedly said, "His Majesty's decision to use national treasury funds to establish granaries and rice shops is truly a magnificent feat and should be implemented immediately."
Ling Feng said, "Although I only mentioned grain management just now, the government can coordinate the management of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. I was just throwing out a brick to start a fire. My beloved ministers, go back and think about it, list what I just thought of as national policy, and then promulgate and implement it after the holiday. In addition, Commander Li, based on what Minister Lin just said, send people to investigate the evidence of collusion between the four great families and government officials."
"Your subject obeys!"
Li Cheng replied.
After giving his instructions, Ling Feng suddenly said in a deep voice, "The matter discussed today is top secret. Only I and the three of you know about it. If there is any leak or disclosure, no matter which of you leaked what was discussed today, all three of you will be convicted together, regardless of the severity of the offense. You will all be punished equally."
"I obey the order."
Lin Tianshu, Lin Zhenliang, and Li Cheng responded simultaneously.
Ling Feng said, "I hope my three ministers understand that the reason I am speaking to you today is because I consider you my confidants and people I can trust. If you follow me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. If the country prospers and flourishes, you will be unparalleled ministers, shining brightly for all time."
After Ling Feng finished speaking, Lin Tianshu, Lin Zhenliang, and Li Cheng all sensed his kingly aura and understood that following him in governing the country would guarantee an immeasurable future. They were all instantly filled with fervor, vaguely seeing their names already shining through the ages. For them, who held such high positions, the pursuit of wealth was no longer the ultimate goal; leaving a mark on history was the greatest ideal of a subject.
Amidst the cheers of "Long live the Emperor!" from Lin Zhenliang, Lin Tianshu, and Li Cheng, Ling Feng left the Southern Study with satisfaction. He returned to the Qianqing Palace, and since it was still some time before lunch, he decided to lean against the heater and take a nap.
Soon after, he fell into a deep sleep. In his hazy state, a pair of small, cold hands suddenly covered Zi Lingfeng's eyes from behind, and a strange voice asked, "Guess who I am?"
"Wenchang, stop fooling around."
Ling Feng smiled, took Princess Ziwenchang's small hand, and placed it in his arms to warm it. He then frowned and asked, "Where did you go out to? Why are your little hands so cold?"
Princess Wenchang nestled into Ling Feng's arms, protesting, "Your Majesty, how did you guess it was Wenchang so easily?"
"Because only a girl like you would be so disobedient."
Ling Feng pinched her nose, which was red from the cold, and laughed, "Where have you been running around?"
In fact, Ling Feng's nose had become increasingly sensitive. With a little effort, he could distinguish their different scents. Princess Wenchang's scent was somewhat similar to a light jasmine fragrance.
"Where would you go out and have fun?"
Princess Wenchang leaned against Ling Feng's chest, pouting and saying, "I just strolled around the Imperial Garden a few times and played in the pond for a bit."
"No wonder your little hands are so cold."
Ling Feng rubbed her little hands together for a moment, then quickly asked, "Your mother? Why isn't she with you?"
Upon hearing the mention of Empress Dowager Huizhen, Princess Wenchang's lively eyes immediately dimmed, and she whispered, "Mother is sitting in the pavilion, saying she needs to think about something. We don't even need to call her for lunch. Your Majesty, I think Mother doesn't seem very happy lately. She's probably homesick. She stays in this palace all day long and can't do anything. Mother's ideal is to help the poor people of the world."
"oh!"
Ling Feng was taken aback. Although the Empress Dowager Huizhen didn't show any signs of melancholy in front of him, she rarely spoke. Ling Feng couldn't help but wonder if he had been too selfish. In truth, while many concubines in the palace received his favor, he knew very little about their thoughts, perhaps even nothing at all. Although he had been more generous than emperors of previous dynasties and had managed to distribute his affections evenly, this prevented him from having focused conversations with just one or two, or even a dozen or so, concubines, and from truly understanding their inner worlds. Compared to the women he had brought from Mount Hua, the concubines in the palace received far less. Despite Ling Feng devoting a great deal of time to them, the number of beauties entering the palace was constantly increasing; sometimes, even Ling Feng himself didn't know how many women he had spent a single night with.
Ling Feng sighed, then forced a smile and asked, "Wenchang, what are your dreams?"
Princess Wenchang, nestled in Ling Feng's arms, tilted her head and thought carefully for a moment before saying earnestly, "I have thought about it. I don't want to be a princess. I've loved chivalry since I was little. I want to be a female knight-errant, righting all the injustices in the world, helping the weak and punishing the strong, and upholding justice."
Ling Feng smiled and said, "This ideal isn't too difficult, but it requires excellent skills!"
Princess Wenchang said, "I know, so I've been practicing martial arts very diligently with Lady Bai and the others these past few days. Tingting and Yun'er are also very willing to teach me. I'm now confident that I can even surpass Sister Zhaoyang."
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng thought that Wen Chang did indeed have some potential in martial arts; with a little effort, she could really achieve something great. Her words reminded Ling Feng of Wen Chang's dashing figure on horseback shooting arrows in the Imperial Garden, but also of her mischievousness, which led to this princess-heroine being "raped" by a fake emperor. "Your Majesty, why are your eyes looking so wicked again?"
Princess Wenchang looked at Ling Feng and said strangely, "It's just like, just like last time."
"Hehe, don't worry about that. I'm asking you, would you choose to be a female knight-errant or stay by my side? You can only choose one."
Ling Feng asked calmly.
Princess Wenchang was now in a dilemma. After thinking for a long time, she said with a hint of resentment, "Can't I choose both?"
"I am the emperor, so naturally I cannot accompany you to roam the world and uphold justice. Therefore, you can only choose one."
Ling Feng chuckled softly.
"Then I'd rather stay by your side, sir."
Princess Wenchang finally made her decision. Leaning against Ling Feng's chest, she whispered, "If the Emperor isn't by my side, I don't know what to do. Even if I become a female knight-errant, it won't mean much!"
"Good Wenchang, all my affection for you has not been in vain!"
Ling Feng lowered his head and gently kissed her rosy cheek, saying softly, "Once the affairs of state are settled and I have some free time, I will go out incognito and take you with me to wander the martial world, uphold justice, and help the weak and oppressed. Then we will be a pair of lovebirds."
Upon hearing this, Princess Wenchang's eyes lit up, revealing boundless admiration as she exclaimed, "Really? That's wonderful! A perfect couple! Fantastic!"
As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Ling Feng's neck and planted a sweet kiss on his lips...
Ling Feng was naturally happy to enjoy it. He grabbed her slender waist with one hand and placed the other on her fragrant buttocks, kissing her cherry lips deeply. Instantly, the room was filled with the warmth of spring...
"Your Majesty, you're so bad, you...you're going to...ah!"
Before Princess Wenchang could finish speaking, the beautiful young woman's heart suddenly trembled, and her instinctive heartstrings suddenly hummed. Her shameful fantasies caused the charming girl to abruptly stop speaking, and she was even "burned" by Ling Feng's burning gaze, causing her to scream in surprise.
A woman's instincts stirred a sense of foreboding in Princess Wenchang's heart. The young girl couldn't help but recall the passionate scene that had happened with him. Could it be... could it be that her Emperor brother now wanted her?
The clever Princess Wenchang saw an unfamiliar, raging flame in Ling Feng's familiar, affectionate eyes...
The beauty's myriad thoughts were still swirling when Ling Feng's slowly approaching figure shattered all her composure like a mountain. The irresistible, intense, and intoxicating true love was so powerful that no force in the world could stop the most beautiful moment of springtime in the room!
