The imperial edict was issued to the entire banquet for the subjects. In order to let more people know the content of the imperial edict, they went directly to the official process. They not only posted the imperial edict at the entrances of various county yamen, but also asked the yamen runners to go to various villages and towns to report.

For a moment, the already very lively banquet became even more lively.

"The emperor attaches great importance to the queen, and he even changed the title of asking for peace."

"Oh, the emperor is also a person with a lot of heart."

"Wuwuwu, it's worth it to marry a man of affection and righteousness like the emperor."

"I envy the Queen, and I want to marry a man like the Emperor." This is the little girl who secretly misses the spring.

But some people are envious, and naturally some are jealous, and even dissatisfied with this imperial edict.

Although Yan Shang dealt with many court officials before and after the ascension of the throne, most of the ministers who were more upright and had no major mistakes remained.

But although these people don’t have much problems, they are not a problem at all. What’s more, since ancient times, concepts have not been unified, and many problems can be judged only by right or wrong.

On the second day after the imperial edict of the banquet was issued, two old ministers in the morning court stood up to oppose it. One of them was a veteran of the three dynasties. He was very prestigious in the court and was always known for his fairness and integrity. He was really not the kind of corrupt and selfish person.

But without selfishness does not mean that you will not do wrong things. There are so many people who are good at doing bad things, not to mention that this person may not have any kind intentions.

"Your Majesty, this is the rule of all dynasties. How could you issue such an imperial edict? Isn't this let everyone in the world laugh at you?" The old man was a little trembling when he stood, but his words were full of energy. Moreover, his look of regret on his face really made Yan Shang feel tooth ache.

"I agree that the emperor's actions are against etiquette. Although the empress is the queen, she cannot be equal to you. Since ancient times, she has been different from the superiors and inferiors..." This person is also an old-fashioned person, and he also likes to talk about the past and the present very much, and he has made many big principles.

Yan Shang sat on the dragon throne with a cold face. He didn't say anything at first, making people unable to see his thoughts.

It was not until the opposing ministers stood up that Yan Shang said coldly: "All etiquette and law are set by people. Don't follow the rules with me. You keep saying the rules and say that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Then, now you refute my words and disobey the imperial edict. Wouldn't you the least ruler people?"

"After all, according to the law of the Great Banquet, anyone who disobeys the imperial edict can be sentenced to death!" Yan Shang's tone became gloomy, "Do you want me to kill you all according to the rules?"

Rules, what are rules? For some people, the rules are those who cannot bear the consequences!

"I just sat here for a while, and it is impossible for you to not understand my temperament." Seeing that no one dared to answer, Yan Shang continued, "My temper is bad and his personality is not very good. You should do things honestly, be more honest and honest. When you have time, you should keep in charge of the lives of the people. Think about how to make the people live and work in peace, instead of talking like a shrew, and you have to say a few gossips no matter whether you have any reason or not!"

Yan Shang was a little angry, but he was more bored. There were always some people who stood at the moral high point and blamed others, but they didn’t know that in the eyes of more people, they were clowns!

"Your Majesty, the old minister is devoted to serving the country and the king, and has no selfishness at all. How can you..." The old minister knelt on the ground, his voice becoming a little sad.

Yan Shang was unmoved, "Then tell me, a question of title, how do you have something to do with the country and me?"

"Since ancient times, there has been a difference between high and low. When a woman gets married, she takes her husband as the husband, let alone you. The Queen is just two points weak in terms of titles, and she is already extremely noble. If you still have to modify it like this, wouldn't it be a mess?" The old minister was persistent and was not scared by Yan Shang's words.

"Then I ask you, who stipulates that a woman should follow her husband when she gets married?" Yan Shang asked coldly.

The old minister was stunned and replied, "The ancients said: There is no two days in the sky, no two kings in the land, no two kings in the country, and no two masters in the family, so it is a principle."

After the old minister finished speaking, he added, "Your Majesty, you have read all your poetry and books."

"It is because I have read that I know that these so-called rules and so-called ethics are just spoken by people." Yan Shang paused after saying this, feeling that his words might be a bit too much, and he calmed down a little. "Many rules are naturally good, and the so-called ethics and ethics are also the ways of being a human being summarized by our ancestors, but since these principles and rules are summarized by people, there may be some errors."

Yan Shang glanced coldly at everyone present, as if he was talking to everyone, "Or do you think that everything about his ancestors is right?"

"If this is the case, then I will now order that in order to prevent the ministers from corruption and using their power for personal gain, all the families of officials of all ranks will not be allowed to be officials in the future. How can you say?" Yan Shang's previous thoughts were not so positive, but after reading too many books on the Apocalypse Plane, his ideas naturally changed.

"Or I can also order it, because marriage between close relatives will affect the body and intelligence of offspring. In the future, no intermarriage will be allowed for blood relatives within the five generations!" If the previous article is unreasonable coercion and intimidation, then this article is the essence of later experience.

In fact, from the perspective of human freedom, such rules are unreasonable, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and the objective existence determines the practicality of this rule. However, there are also tragedies caused by this rule, which is the disadvantages.

"This, is this true or false..." The ministers looked at each other, and they could not be sure whether the emperor's words were true or false for a moment.

"Your Majesty is serious?" The first person to stand up and ask Zhou Qingshu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was also a practical official. He was originally just a manager of the Ministry of Revenue, and was promoted after Yan Shang took office.

"Is it true? You can go and investigate. The data will naturally tell you the truth or false." Yan Shang only saw this report not long ago, and happened to send someone to investigate. When he encountered these things now, he said it casually.

"I am willing to ask for an order to be responsible for the investigation of this matter!" Zhou Qingshu seemed to care about this matter very much and recommended himself.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Yan Shang also trusted Zhou Qingshu very much, and he knew a little about Zhou Qingshu's situation, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
