After rebirth, I became the favorite of the powerful ministers

Chapter 163 Taxation
"Their affairs are very complicated."

Tang Chaochao felt his head hurt when he heard it. Even if Crown Prince Meng An really liked Su Moqing, she didn't believe that Lord Hou didn't care about the wealth behind the Su family at all.

Perhaps the Su family also thought of this, so they eagerly wanted to ask for help, but they didn't expect Gu Ye to refuse.

why?
In the evening, when Gu Ye returned to the mansion, Tang Chaochao told Gu Ye about Prince Meng An who was in the mansion today.

Gu Ye's eyes darkened, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

"Why did you let him in?"

"Elder Meng An is quite polite, and he just asked about the situation."

Tang Chaochao looked at Gu Ye's expression cautiously, "I don't know if the prince is thinking."

"I don't have any ideas. As for Ma Fuwen, he didn't come to join me either."

Tang Chaochao blinked, "Didn't come to seek refuge with you? Didn't you say he was pretty good? Why didn't he seek refuge with you?"

Gu Ye sneered, "I said it, it's just that people don't want to."

Tang Chaochao:? ? ?

How could you not want to.

"The last time they came to the palace to ask for help, how could it be?"

Tang Chaochao narrowed his eyes, "If you didn't come to seek refuge with the prince, then who did you seek refuge with?"

Gu Ye took a sip from his teacup, "Master Hou has been staring at the Su family for a long time, and he is bound to win, so how can he let go so easily."

Tang Chaochao pondered for a while, "Since the Su family has such a large grain depot, maybe the emperor is also thinking about it. Is it possible that this may be designed by the emperor?"

Gu Ye's hand paused, "It's also possible, but the emperor never came out from the beginning to the end, so it's hard to doubt."

"Of course he won't appear. If he did, wouldn't it be easy to expose?"

Gu Ye hummed, "Don't talk about them, what they think is their business and has nothing to do with us."

Tang Chao raised his eyebrows, "Actually, the concubine just wanted to know why the prince rejected Su Moqing. After all, the Su family holds the largest grain warehouse. Don't you want it?"

Gu Ye smiled, "Since it is the largest grain warehouse, does it mean that many people are staring at it? Since so many people are staring at it, if I take over, it will make their attention fall on me. "

"What's more, Su Moqing is not worthy enough for me to help."

Tang Dynasty:
Gu Ye is really realistic, without an equivalent exchange, he would never make a move.

"This time, I found something."

Tang Chaochao sat up straight in an instant, "What is it?"

Gu Ye smiled and looked at Tang Chaochao more, "About the assassination of you last time."

"Is it the empress?"

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, "You seem to have an answer in your heart."

"Because apart from that person, I can't think of anyone else who would. Think about killing me."

Gu Ye smiled, "It's just a pity, you didn't guess right this time, the person who wanted to assassinate you was not the empress, but she should have something to do with her."

"Since it's related, then there's no need to run away with her. Maybe someone else killed me! I know."

Gu Ye asked curiously: "Are you so calm?"

"After all, this is expected and unexpected, so I'm not too surprised."

Lin Qianxue wanted to kill her, and it happened that she wanted to kill Lin Qianxue.

Just killing each other.

"I will put more people by your side."

Tang Chaochao's eyes trembled, "If you don't use this stage, the prince's safety is more important. Besides, there is only one queen who assassinated me, and there are many more princes than me."

Gu Ye sneered and said: "But this king is more skilled than you, has the ability to protect himself, and doesn't need too many guards. You are different."

Tang Chaochao's eyelashes trembled, why am I different?My skills are also pretty good, but I can't let you know that's all.

"The assassin was caught too, do you have anything to ask?"

Tang Chaochao shook her head, since she already knew who was behind the scenes, what use would an assassin do to her?It's just a job to do.

Don't know much information.

"Okay, since you don't need that assassin, then I'll deal with it directly."

Tang Chaochao raised his eyes and looked at Gu Ye seriously, "Is this the reason you went to Dali Temple recently?"

"Not only that, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is dealing with the matter of tax embezzlement. There are too many people involved in this matter. I'm afraid the emperor was a little caught off guard."

Tang Chaochao: "Taxation? Why is this going to start cleaning up corrupt officials?"

Gu Ye shook his head, "How could the emperor not know how many corrupt officials there are in the court? How could I not know?"

"Then why did you start sorting this out all of a sudden?"

Gu Ye laughed, his eyes darkened, "Some people want to make a big move, so naturally they start with taxation."

"My lord, you didn't embezzle this tax, did you?"

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little surprised, "Could it be that this king is that kind of person in your eyes? It seems that the image of this king is not very good in your heart!"

Tang Chaochao coughed lightly, wanting to skip this topic.

"Let's talk about Prince Meng'an. If Ma Fuwen didn't take refuge in you, it seems that he should have taken refuge in the emperor. Is that beneficial or harmful to you?"

Gu Ye tapped his fingers on the table, and leaned back on the chair lazily.

"A small scholar doesn't pose much of a threat to me. When he becomes the number one scholar, maybe I can still be afraid. As for now, he is just lingering on Su's residence."

Seeing Gu Ye's tired face, Tang Chao walked slowly behind him, reached out and gently massaged his temples.

"My lord, I've been busy these days. When will I take a vacation for two or three days?"

Gu Ye's hand slowly landed on Tang Chaochao's wrist, and he leaned his head against her embrace.

"I'm afraid it will be after the taxation issue is completely over, and I'm afraid it will be a while."

Tang Chaochao frowned tightly, "Even so, you should have a good rest, but your face is a little too pale."

Hearing Tang Chaochao's words, Gu Ye felt warm in his heart, and responded softly: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely treat myself well and not fall down."

Tang Zhaza massaged Gu Ye silently, neither of them spoke, the inner room was extremely quiet, but it seemed extremely warm.

The figures of the two were reflected on the door, looking extremely intimate.

Tang Chaochao's movements stopped, but Gu Ye fell asleep in her arms.

Her brows were raised, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
