Chapter 228 I want to be a prince

Chun Geng's excerpts were reported one after another.

The state capitals all over the country are grateful for the kindness of the emperor, and the unity of the people is the blessing of the Great Wei.

Su Liuyu felt happy in her heart, and decided that it would be better to take advantage of this time to exempt some irrelevant taxes.

Great Wei has a lot of taxes.

Taxes of all kinds.

And the food tax is as high as 30.00%!

So Su Liuyu decided, in addition to exempting the messy tax, to reduce the grain tax to [-]%, to give the common people a sense of relief.

But when the tax reduction was mentioned, the courtiers immediately opposed it, even Shen Cheng'an was among them.

"Your Majesty, the land of Great Wei is not vast, and the population of our country is not as large as that of Daqi. If the tax is lowered, how will we pay the food and the army?"

This sentence was said by Shen Cheng'an himself.

There are many tax cuts in Da Wei, but there are few labor forces. If the tax is reduced, it is impossible to know how much money will be collected in a year.

Su Liuyu had already considered this matter.

"My Great Wei used to emphasize civility over martial arts. When one person became an official, the whole family was tax-free and corvee-free, and the collateral relatives who received this benefit also attached themselves to it and received a lot of tax-free benefits. Now, it is better to reorganize together."

All the courtiers were shocked.

Shen Cheng'an felt like his heart was about to jump out.

Your Majesty, what are you talking about? If you affect the interests of the aristocratic family, the prestige you have built up so hard will be gone!

All these need to be figured out gradually, Your Majesty!
Sure enough, when he thought this way just now, Xing Kun and all his disciples knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, if the literati of the aristocratic family are asked to pay taxes, the foundation of my Great Wei will definitely be shaken!"

The common people don't have much strength, but the aristocratic family has private soldiers.

If they all united and rebelled, it would really be a mass attack.

This civil strife is unacceptable.

The courtiers were almost crying.

There was a bang bang bang.

"Your Majesty, this move requires a long-term plan. Don't be reckless. I beg the Emperor to take back his will."

"I beg the emperor to take back his will."

Seeing that Shen Cheng'an was kneeling, Su Liuyu was still a little shaken in her heart.

She was thinking quickly about how to have the best of both worlds.

The courtiers saw that the emperor had not spoken, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

The civil servants of the neutral party were trembling with fear.

They now feel that the emperor is not considering withdrawing his will.

Instead, he was considering who to kill first.

"I'll just listen to what you love to say about this matter, but tax cuts are imperative. As for whether the treasury is empty or not, and how to make money, don't worry about love, let's go back to the court!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the officials under the steps immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the emperor did not go his own way.

As long as there is room for maneuver.

After leaving the court, Shen Cheng'an immediately handed in the papers and prepared to face the saint.

As for Xing Kun and others, they all got together after the establishment of the dynasty.

"The emperor's move is really too much, Mr. Xing, we must find a way."

"Our aristocratic family has many collaterals and many dependencies. If we all pay taxes, how can we do it?"

"I think it's better to elect the crown prince."

Xing Kun is the head of the four great masters in the capital.

Today, Su Liuyu really touched his head.

In the corruption case of Shangshu of the Household Department, he sold it to the emperor to save face. After all, if the emperor didn't uproot his family, he would let it go if he couldn't touch his criminal family.

But today, the emperor wants the whole people to pay taxes, so that will not work.

He adjusted his thoughts for a while.

Slowly said: "Starting from today, you will contact the big and small families and release this news to me. It has exaggerated a lot and aroused the anger of the people in the family. Next step, we will change the dynasty!"

"My lord, you should have done this a long time ago. Doesn't the child, the Young Emperor, have soldiers and horses? Let's join forces with the family. If you want to say such soldiers, we also have soldiers."

"There are more than [-] Xiaowu troops stationed in the capital, and more than [-] people in the new barracks. Even if she has crossbow arrows and forts, is it possible that she wants to beat her own people?"

"If she moves the common people, that's fine. Give me another chance to force her to step down."

Several people immediately became excited.

In the past few days, the court has been too aggrieved, they dare not speak out.

Now that the joint rectification, they must show Xiaoer Youdi that they are not easy to bully.

Imperial Mausoleum.

The place where the false emperor was detained.

Here is a large underground palace.

Luxurious and solemn, but also extremely dark.

The sun is not penetrated all day long, and only torches are burned on the walls, so it is damp and cold.

Yin Ning sat cross-legged in a corner of the imperial mausoleum, closing her eyes and meditating.

This place was originally the place where the emperor lived alone after a hundred years, but now he is being imprisoned.

With the sound of shallow footsteps, he walked over and squatted down gently.

"Your Highness, you have suffered."

"Now I'm not the prince, don't call me that."

There was mourning on Lin Shu's face, while Yin Ning was wearing a tunic, his hair was disheveled, and his face was even more frighteningly emaciated, not as respected as a former prince.

He is a courtier and a staff member of the emperor's protégé, how could he bear it now that the young emperor he followed has come to such a fate.

He moved his throat and said:

"Now, the new emperor is coming to court, and the officials are not convinced. Lord Xing intends to embrace His Highness as emperor."

Yinning's eyes slowly opened.

"Why not accept it." He asked.

"Tax exemption and corvee exemption, the whole country pays taxes, so the aristocratic family riots and meets the new emperor."

"I will not ascend the throne." His tone was firm: "If I ascend the throne, I will be resolute in what she follows."

They clapped their hands together, and he was willing to do what she wanted, so it didn't matter who was in power.

just
He recalled all kinds of scenes between the two of them in his mind.

All feeling, and a little bit ashamed.

How did she feel when she high-fived her that day?
Have you always laughed at yourself in your heart, thinking that you are ridiculous?

Still enthroned?
She wouldn't let herself be enthroned at all.

What about assistance.

In the past few days, whenever he thinks of these things, he feels a sharp pain in his heart.

hate it?

hate.

He regards her as his confidant and communicates with his heart, but in exchange for such a result, how can he not be cruel.

He wanted to ask her himself, how cruel she was.

He gave a wry smile, probably she would not even come back.

After all, she doesn't like how useless she is as a prince.

"His Royal Highness, now, whatever your plan is, I am willing to help you."

what plan?
He himself was confused, and now he is a useless person.

Seeing that the prince did not return, Lin Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Shang Shuling is my old teacher. If I beg him, he will definitely speak for me. What's on your mind, prince?"

"I want to see her."

Ask her why she made an appointment with him in the first place.

Ask her if one day she saw him directly.

Lin Shu nodded: "Prince, if you want to enter the palace, there is nothing wrong with it. Although the emperor is young, it will be a matter of time before he accepts the emperor's husband. It is better to be in the harem than here."

"."

He didn't mean it that way.

Where did he say this.

He complained in his heart, but he refused to say it for a long time.
