Chapter 1040
Su Qin had made preparations before, although it was not unexpected, but this matter finally settled, which also made Su Qin feel uncomfortable. Before the flood caused the refugees, but now they have finally settled down, and they have to increase taxes. Is it a big deal? The prince's mind is full of dung, and he can't blame Xiao Yijun for wanting to pull him down. If such a person really becomes the emperor, Daqi will perish within three to five years.

"Mother, now the old emperor is seriously ill and can't even get up. Naturally, he can't take care of the government. The eldest prince controls the government, behaves mischievously, and suppresses ministers who don't agree with him everywhere. The third senior brother said that there are already several censors in the court. If you bump into a pillar and die in the hall, it will not change the First Prince's decision."

Su Qin felt that those censors were too pedantic. Even if you hit a pillar and died, what would you do? It would be of no use except sacrificing your life in vain. It would be better to save your useful life and wait for Mingjun. Arrived, now they are dead or dead, no one will remember them at all, and the First Prince will not let their names be left in the history books, only their family members are sad.

"Mother also heard that the seventh prince who has always been regarded as the darling of the emperor was demoted. It seems that it was because of dealing with the refugees. I heard that the seventh prince who opened up wasteland and exempted tax did not ask the eldest prince for an order. He made decisions without authorization, just because This one has been rushed to our border. It is said to be a fiefdom, but in fact it is to send the seventh prince to his death. It is not easy to have a good prince who is in charge of the people, but he has ended up like this. Alas, the life of ordinary people is not good. It's better." Liu Shi said with emotion.

"Mother, who did you hear that the Seventh Prince was kicked out of the capital because of the wasteland tax exemption?" This time it was Su Qin's turn to be surprised, and her mother knew all about things she didn't know when she was sitting in the backyard up.

"Everyone knows this. I still listened to what your third aunt said. Everyone has already spread the word. Fortunately, the imperial court did not take back the wasteland tax exemption. Otherwise, everyone had worked so hard to get it out. The land is about to fly away, even if it is not taken back, it will be taxed, which is a good thing, but it is a pity that such a good Seventh Prince will be lost." Liu continued.

Su Qin understood it all at once. I am afraid that this was done on purpose by Xiao Yijun, and the news was probably released by Xiao Yijun and the others on his own initiative. It seems that he was expected to be kicked out of the capital. The common people have earned profits and left a good reputation of loving the people like their sons. At the same time, they can avoid the vortex of power struggles and avoid the pain of being implicated.

Although there is suspicion of buying people's hearts, Su Qin thinks it is understandable that he is really doing things for the common people.

"Mom, does everyone say that?" Su Qin asked while helping to divide the line.

"Yeah, if everyone didn't say that, how would a country woman like your third aunt and me know? I heard that chaos outside has already started, the border is not peaceful, and I don't know what happened to your father. I'm really worried after such a long time." Liu Shi sighed, touched her swollen belly and said.

"Mother, Wang Jin has already gone to look for my father. The message he sent just now said that there is already news. My father was just sent to perform a mission. It's just inconvenient to contact my family. Mother, look." Su Qin took out a small note from her purse, on which she imitated Wang Jin's notes, and showed it to Liu Shi.
