Chapter 14 — The Emperor Favors His Royal Highness, I Make Him No Longer Emperor

But the one-year tax exemption clause. That's because I insisted on adding it. At that time, Chu Van Uyen advised me:

“The national treasury is currently empty.”

“If tax free for one year.”

"I'm afraid the revenue won't cover expenses."

“The national treasury is empty.”

“It's because the money was swallowed up by the corrupt corrupt people.”

“I will reclaim every piece of money.”

“Every penny.”

“But before we do that.”

"I can't wait."

“Let's excuse ourselves first.”

Chu Van Uyen clasped his hands in ceremony.

“Your Majesty is kind.”

Virtuous or not. I don't know. I just know that. Once seated in this position. You can't live for just one person anymore. The third day after coronation. I summoned the Cabinet ministers at Thai Hoa Palace.

“I have a matter.”

“Want to hear your opinions, my dear sirs.”

“Your Majesty, please advise.”

“I want to abolish the elite selection system.”

"Recruitment is an institution."

"Selecting women from all over the world to join the harem."

“The purpose is to prolong the royal family.”

“Stabilize the harem.”

“If we abolish elite selection.”

“I'm just afraid…”

“Just afraid of what?”

"I'm just afraid of going against the organization."

“The foundation is set by the ancestors.”

“Ancestors can pose.”

“Then I can also change it.”

“If anything.”

“I am a woman.”

“There is no need to recruit elites to fill the harem.”

“This matter is decided as it is.”

"Besides."

“I also want to open more Grace Faculty for women.”

Chu Van Uyen frowned slightly.

“Grace is for women.”

“There has never been any precedent before.”

“Then starting today there will be.”

“I know what you guys are worried about.”

"You guys are afraid that women reading books will cause erectile dysfunction."

“But I sat on this dragon chair.”

“Aren't you guys still sitting here?”

No one speaks up anymore.

“I do not ask you to immediately accept.”

“I just want you to think for a moment.”

“In this world.”

“How many women are there?”

“Smarter than men.”

“More capable than men.”

“More ambitious than men.”

“Something you guys lack.”

“It has never been an ability until now.”

“It's an opportunity.”

“What I want for you girls.”

“That is the opportunity.”

Chu Van Uyen stood up.

“Your Majesty is holy.”

“God obeys.”

“The gods obey orders.”

The first month after ascending the throne. I'm so busy that my feet don't touch the ground. During the day, the chapter is approved. Meeting with the great minister. Handling the main court. At night, watch the newspaper. Drafting decrees. Prepare for new policies. Ngoc Tran is very sad for me. Every day there are different types of nutritious foods. But I still lost weight. Even so. Well worth it. On the day the decree to open the Grace Department for women was announced. The court almost exploded. The officials argued from «Chu Le» to «Nu Gioi». From the three diamonds and the five constants to the five elements of yin and yang. I wish I could immediately pull the ungrateful and rebellious female Emperor down from her throne. I don't argue with them. I directly ordered Han Lam Institute to issue a notice.

“Next year, in March.”

“More An Faculty will be opened.”

“There is no distinction between men and women.”

"Everyone has passed the test."

“No matter male or female.”

“Everyone can participate.”

Forty-fifth day after ascending the throne. I received an envelope. It's a letter sent by Trinh Hoai Vien.

“God is in the countryside.”

“I heard that His Majesty abolished the elite selection system.”

"Open the Grace Department for women again."

“At first I didn't think it was right.”

“But later when thinking carefully.”

“I just understand.”

“Your Majesty's ambition does not lie in power.”

“But lies in the world.”

“God is stupid.”

“I have betrayed the grace of God.”

“I beg your Majesty to forgive me.”

“Ngoc Tran.”

“Transmission of orders.”

“Restore Trinh Hoai Vien to his original position.”

“Immediate recovery.”

“Hasn't he already resigned?”

“Resigned.”

“Can still come back.”

“My court.”

“We need people who dare to speak honestly like that.”

The fiftieth day after ascending the throne. I stand on the highest place of Thai Hoa Palace. Zoom out and look down at the entire capital. Behind me. It's a mandarin of literature and martial arts paying his respects and congratulating him. In front of me. It is thousands of miles of country. (END OF FULL TEXT)
