Chapter 453
When leaving the queen's bedroom, the emperor walked heavily, stroked his hair and remained silent for a long time.

Li Deshun leaned forward cleverly, "Your Majesty, hair tonic is popular in the palace recently, don't worry, the servant has prepared it for you, it doesn't matter if the queen combs a few strands of your hair."

With no expression on his face, the emperor kicked Li Deshun's ass fiercely. Li Deshun was caught off guard and staggered from the kick.

And the emperor had already walked away with his hands behind his back.

Li Deshun quickly caught up.

"Your Majesty, the State of Wei sent a letter of credence, saying that the third prince of the State of Wei was ambushed when he visited our border and was seriously injured. He wants to seek justice."

Li Deshun patted his butt and quickly followed.

"Ask for justice? The princes of the Wei Kingdom broke into the border of our country without saying a word, and I haven't settled with them yet!"

When the emperor heard the news early in the morning, he kicked Li Deshun back in anger.

In the early court, as expected, the ministers had a heated debate on this.

"Your Majesty, the State of Wei is clearly planning to start a war! I think you should fight back!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Households was immediately alert, "What, war? Where did the money come from? There have been wars on the border these years, and the treasury has no money! Besides, the bottom is not peaceful, either drought or flood, don't you need money for disaster relief?!"

The general said in a rough voice, "Then let Wei Guo beat you with a dull head? Aren't we just shrinking our heads?!"

"Do you pay for the war? If you pay, our Ministry of Accounting will support you with both hands without saying a word!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Accounting sneered.

The prime minister folded his hands, wondering what he was thinking.

The emperor had a gloomy face, watching the ministers below argue and evade each other, he slapped the dragon chair suddenly, "Enough!"

"This matter is urgent, there must be a charter before noon!"

The ministers suddenly became tense.

In the end, it was decided that people would lead soldiers to guard the border first. If the Ministry of Households could not afford so much money, it would increase taxes and exploit the people and businessmen.

Jiang Yuwan's eyes were filled with absurdity when she heard that the emperor and a group of ministers wanted to increase taxes.

Don't they know what kind of life the people below are living?

Not enough to eat, tighten your belt to live.

Not even naked.

In this situation, taxation is increased and blood is sucked from the people. Isn't it driving the people to a dead end?

"Staying high in the temple for a long time despises its people. What the emperor sees are singing and dancing, luxurious and lustful scenes. Naturally, he doesn't know that the people underneath are in dire straits."

Qi Chuan squatted at Jiang Yuwan's feet, put her swollen feet on his lap and massaged her.

The slender hands pushed lightly and regularly, "This battle is unavoidable. Wei Guo has long coveted my court for a long time. The prince's injury is just an excuse."

"Min Zhi Min Gao and the others eat a lot, each of them has a fat stomach and a big belly, and now they are shrinking turtles!"

Jiang Yuwan was angry.

Qi Chuan hurriedly comforted her, "Don't get angry, blame me, you're about to start, I shouldn't have told you about this, it's distracting you."

Jiang Yuwan glared at him peachyly, and snorted softly, "How can such a big matter be kept from me?"

After the emperor's decree was promulgated, the whole world was in an uproar.

But the strength of the common people is weak, and even seeing their families being ripped out, they can't meet the emperor's requirements.

"This is forcing us to die!"

"God, open your eyes..."

"The harvest is not good, and the tax is still increasing year after year...cough cough...the world can't survive..."

"Your majesty is incompetent, you have pity on my family, I can't even afford to eat beans..."
