Chapter 656 It's better to ask Yu Xi!

Yunshi Emperor Garden.

Emperor Ziqi looked at the protests and petitions floating like snowflakes from all over the world, and his heart was angry, his handsome face was full of anger, and he threw the recital in his hand on the case with a look of resentment.

"Father, this group of gangsters is only thinking about the little interests in their bowls, ignoring the overall situation and not thinking about the summer dynasty.

They don't pay the [first mu tax], relying on Zhongtudian to serve the land, what does the Celestial Empire take to support the nine great cloud masters?

Without the Nine Great Cloud Divisions, without the protection of your father, how can you defend against the barbarians of the Four Wilderness Countries? ”

Emperor Ziqi scolded again and again, angrily reprimanded the princes of the world for being selfish, his words were full of anger, and he felt unworthy of his father's good intentions, and was inexplicably a little sad.

Emperor Twilight, the Son of Heaven, sat on the throne and was silent, compared to the strong-blooded, impulsive and irritable Emperor Ziqi, who had experienced countless winds and waves, and had already been unfazed by everything.

Si Tuxi Xinghou and Lao Situ on the side sighed again and again, facing Emperor Ziqi's grievances, they felt empathy, and their faces were distressed and helpless.

"What the emperor said is that the Celestial Empire is one and interdependent, if the [Chu Mu Tax] is not introduced, and watching the [Jingtian System] erode and collapse, I am afraid that in a few years, the Celestial Empire will not even be able to raise the nine divisions of the Cloud Division, and then the Celestial Empire will show weakness, and the days of the princes of the Quartet will be much better!"

The Marquis of Xixing was very emotional, he was also a prince, but he was very cooperative and supportive of the [first mu tax], not because of anything else, just because he understood the truth of cold lips and teeth.

If there is no Celestial Empire, how can the small families of the princes of all parties be kept!

"A group of short-sighted rats!" Old Situ was also quite indignant, holding his gray beard, and scolded: "Especially in the countries of the Western Wilderness, we fought bloody battles on the front foot, expelled the Xirong barbarians for them, and we were ungrateful on the back foot, protesting the [initial mu tax] one by one, secretly hiding the land, and ignoring the world for our own strength, which is really not human!"

"Lao Situ's words are pertinent, we are all running around for the Celestial Empire, worried about the common people in the world, in the eyes of these individuals, it is we who are retrograde, doing unethical things, thieves have been stealing fields for a long time, and they think that they are the masters, shameless!"

The two old and one young talked about this matter, it was really angry, the more they talked, the more angry they became, only the old god of the emperor and twilight was there, one after another, carefully reviewing the books of the princes of all parties, thoughtful.

The two elders and one young man saw that the emperor had not answered, and they also felt bored, so they also flipped through the recitals of the princes of all parties indignantly.

However, seeing the princes from all sides protesting or persuading, the depression in his heart rose even more.

Especially Di Ziqi, flipping the book in his hand, his face was blue and white, his teeth itched with anger, and he said angrily: "This... This Xiguo, this Xiyun Hou, how can it be so reasonable, it really can't be so reasonable. ”

Emperor Ziqi's words attracted everyone's attention again, and even Emperor Dusk, the Son of Heaven, raised his head slightly and said, "Qi'er, what did Xiyun Hou say?"

Emperor Ziqi looked angry: "Father, old Situ, Situ, you often say that Yao Yunnai is a person with a very high vision and a big picture, hum!

After speaking, Emperor Ziqi's face was full of disdain, and he was secretly ashamed to be called Zhuxia Shuangjiao with Yao Yun!

Emperor Twilight, Lao Situ, and Situ Xixinghou heard the words and looked at the book presented by Yao Yun, only to see that the whole text was the same as ordinary princes, and the whole article was to protest against the Son of Heaven's retrograde behavior and tyranny.

After reading it, Lao Situ and Situ Xixinghou looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, they thought that Xiguo was the most active in paying tribute, and they should be the princes who supported the [Chumu Tax] the most, but they didn't expect that Xiyun Hou's reaction would be so fierce.

For a while, everyone in the Imperial Garden was a little silent.

For the protests and accusations of ordinary princes, they did not take it to heart, after all, the [first mu tax] was levied on the world, not for their own interests, but for the entire Celestial Empire, and they had a clear conscience.

However, even the most active tribute, the Marquis of Xiyun, protested against the imperial court's tax per mu, and they were disappointed and a little confused.

Did they do it wrong?' Or were they too aggressive?

Si Tuxi Xinghou: "Shengshang, the minister has dealt with Xiyun Hou several times, this person is definitely not like the ordinary princes, although this letter is a protest, but it is not the general blank vernacular of other princes, unwarranted accusations, a closer look at this article, it is not difficult to find that what Xiyun Hou said does have some truth!"

Lao Situ also bowed slightly: "Hmm~ Xiyun Hou can still be taxed by mu without supervision, and take one of the nine, which shows that he is not greedy for small profits and cares about righteousness, and the protest in the book is also justified."

For example, the yield of the newly cultivated land mentioned in it is not high, and the survival of the people is already difficult.

Another example is the forcible collection of smuggled land, which will hurt the interests of the people, which will greatly hit the people's desire to reclaim wasteland and lead to the stagnation of the development of the Celestial Empire......"

In the face of Lao Situ's endless talk, Emperor Ziqi disagreed, and said: "It's just strong words, quibbles, although it is difficult to tax by mu, but you can't waste food because of choking, there were no iron tools back then, and the people who only relied on the well fields also came back to life, and now that there are more fields, why can't the people live?" Hmph, it is clear that they only care about the interests in their own bowls, and ignore the general righteousness!"

The emperor thought that he was on the side of justice, for the sake of the entire Celestial Empire, and stood on the moral high ground, and hated the "chaotic ministers and thieves" who obstructed the implementation of the [first mu tax].

"Emperor, you can't say that. Lao Situ shook his head, feeling in his heart that the emperor didn't know the suffering of the people, and he took it for granted.

The boss still admires Emperor Ziqi, young man, there is nothing wrong with ideals!

However, when Lao Situ talked about practical things, he also paid attention to hard work, so he arched his hand to the emperor of the Son of Heaven and said:

"Shengshang, although what Xiyun Hou said is not to be listened to, but the old minister thinks that the good medicine is bitter, and the words are contrary to the ear, now think about it on the other hand, the [initial mu tax] seems to be too radical, too arbitrary, and does not take into account the livelihood of the majority of the people, we might as well seek straightness in the song and re-draft the [initial mu tax] law!"

Emperor Tianzi held Yao Yun's recital, studied it carefully, and when he heard Lao Situ's words, he immediately bowed his head: "Old Situ's words are reasonable, then... When how to draft the detailed rules of the [initial mu tax] in depth. ”

"This..."Old Situ muttered for a long time, but he didn't dare to take on this important task.

Si Tuxi Xinghou remembered something, and immediately said: "The bell must be tied to the bell, since it is Xiyunhou protesting, it is better to ask Yu Xi!"

Emperor Ziqi on the side watched his father talk with the two ministers, not only did he not blame Yao Yun, but he admired Yao Yun quite a lot, and he was depressed in his heart, and for a while there was a feeling that a child had broken into the adult world, and the two sides seemed to be not on the same level.
