Chapter 655 The Emperor of Bitterness in the World has been in the twilight for a long time

Looking at the Xia Dynasty, Xi paid the most tribute, and strictly followed the Jingtian system to take one of the nine tributes, no one can blame, this time the great turmoil that affected the entire Zhu Xia Dynasty, only Xi Guo can stay out of the matter.

Xi Guo survived this crisis without danger, but the open and secret struggle between the Son of Heaven, the Celestial Empire and the princes of the Quartet did not end.

A few days later, the new news came back to Xiguo.

The Son of Heaven sent a bluebird envoy to inspect the world and determine the land production, and met the help of the local princes, but many of the field princes refused to admit it.

At first, it was denied that it was cultivated and refused to pay the land tax.

After the Blue Bird Envoy found evidence that it was a cultivated field and had cultivated grain, the princes said: "It is the people who cultivate the land privately, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Messenger of the Son of Heaven: "Then collect taxes from the people!"

Princes: "This year's rent tax has passed, if the tax is increased for no reason, I am afraid it will arouse the resentment of the people, and it will go against the benevolence and virtue of the Son of Heaven!"

Messenger of the Son of Heaven: "......"

Similar disputes occurred again and again, and it was quite difficult for the Emperor of Heaven to determine the land properties in the world and to tax the [initial mu tax] according to the mu.

The princes of all parties were quite resistant to the Blue Bird Envoy's strict determination of the land.

Private land has existed since ancient times, and it has been a tradition for hundreds of years, but now iron tools are rampant all over the world, exposing this problem in a grand manner.

If the Son of Heaven is really allowed to determine the land property in the world, not only the newly cultivated land in these years needs to pay the [initial mu tax], but the land reclaimed in the past decades or even hundreds of years will also be exposed, who can stand this.

Many of the princes who actively cooperated with the Celestial Empire at the beginning also did not do it, and they originally planned to hand over some benefits to deal with the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven's appetite was too great, and they were reluctant.

As a result, on the surface, the princes of all parties had no opinion on the [initial mu tax], but secretly showed their magical powers, and resisted the blue bird envoy in various ways to determine the cultivation of the land.

When asked, that is, the harsh government hurts the people, the Son of Heaven is kind-hearted, how can he bear to take heavy taxes to make the people of Li hungry?

In the next half month, the Blue Bird Envoy and the envoys of the Son of Heaven who traveled thousands of miles a day could not even determine the land properties of the Middle-earth countries, and the progress was surprisingly slow.

The Emperor of Heaven was furious, so he killed chickens and monkeys, and imposed sanctions on the most fierce resistance to the determination of land and property, and imposed sanctions on the two monarchs, whose heads fell to the ground, and the family was exiled for 8,000 miles.

Next, Emperor Du supported the powerful scholars of the two countries to take over the two countries.

The newly appointed princes naturally obeyed the words of the Emperor of Heaven, and soon, the [First Mu Tax] was unimpeded in the two countries, and no one dared to point fingers.

Emperor Du originally wanted to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and use the aftermath of "punishing the two countries" to shock the princes of the world, so that the blue bird envoy could inspect the world and determine the property, but it backfired.

The princes of the world saw that the emperor of heaven was playing really, and he was ruthless, and the princes of all parties did not do it, and the tide of criticism was higher than the wave.

"The Son of Heaven should be benevolent, rule by inaction, expropriate tyranny, and the people suffer, this is not the work of a benevolent monarch!"

"Emperor Twilight acted too domineeringly, ignoring the suffering of the people. ”

"Emperor Twilight is far worse than the Holy Monarch Emperor Xi, and even the Emperor Xuan of the year can't compare!"

......

The voice of criticizing the Emperor of Heaven resounded throughout the eight hundred vassal states of the Celestial Empire, and for a while, the wind was surging and quite lively.

Although Xiguo did a good job and did not pay any tribute to the son of heaven, but at this time, Xiguo did not stay out of the matter, as a prince, he had to sit in charge.

In the face of the condemnation and protest of the princes of the world, Xiguo seconded the proposal, raised his hands and shouted for the princes of the world, and advised the Son of Heaven to "rule by inaction", so as not to let the people of the world, who were already in dire straits, suffer.

The Emperor of Heaven naturally took the initiative with the princes of all sides, and no prince dared to offend the co-lord of the world, but the Emperor Dusk could not do whatever he wanted.

The Son of Heaven divided the princes of the Quartet, and the princes of the Quartet used the name of the Son of Heaven to educate the Quartet and spread the prestige of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven governs the princes of the Quartet, and the princes of the world govern the people and control the people's will.

The means by which the princes of the world countered the Son of Heaven was the people's will.

The supreme authority of the Son of Heaven comes from the people's will, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat, if the people of the world complain about the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will lose the mandate of heaven.

Without the Mandate of the Son of Heaven, Emperor Dusk would have no world's first artifact [Xuanyuan Divine Sword], no Son of Heaven Yunshi [Nine Elite Masters], and no authority to rule the world's ghosts and gods.

At that time, he will just be a god with a little more divine power, and he will not have the power to suppress the world.

The example in front of us is Yao Yun's father, Yao Xuan, the emperor of the year, and the later emperor of the Son of Heaven.

The princes of the world abandoned the proclamation and went to the twilight.

The reason why Yao Xuan failed to fight for the emperor back then was not because of his personal cultivation and ability to govern the world, but because the princes of the world did not want to see Emperor Xi and Emperor Xuan's father and son take charge of Zhuxia one after another, lest the "public world" become the "private world" of Youxi's family!

The princes of the world opposed the emperor's declaration, so the princes from all walks of life did not preach the name of benevolence for the Son of Heaven in their own country, but maliciously slandered and arranged the emperor's declaration, which made the emperor's mandate lose his mandate and the emperor's throne was not guaranteed!

This is the main reason why Emperor Xuan was ousted from the position of the Son of Heaven back then!

As the so-called feng shui rotates, the emperor took advantage of the general trend of the world to get the mandate of heaven, and now, it has been counterattacked by the mandate of heaven, and the princes of the world protest and denounce, one cause and one effect, which is really embarrassing.

Especially the three old men of the Xi Kingdom, the second elder Wu Tong, the bald dragon, and the second master of the dragon, saw the voices of the Emperor of Heaven from all over the Celestial Empire one after another, and the three old guys were called one musician, one by one, as if they were old children.

Thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong.

Seeing that Emperor Twilight was resisted by the princes of the world, the three elders raised their eyebrows and were overjoyed, urging Yao Yun to stand up and speak out all day long, increase their efforts, and reprimand the Son of Heaven for being unreasonable.

Regarding the suggestions of the three elders of Xiguo, Yao Yun readily agreed.

Although the Emperor of Heaven levied the [Chu Mu Tax] for the sake of the overall situation of the Celestial Empire, and at the same time, Xiguo did not need to be weak-hearted and worried that the Son of Heaven would determine the land property, so he should stay out of the matter at this time, but Yao Yun is a prince, so he naturally wants to do what the princes should do, and he must stand on the side of the princes of the world.

As a result, Xiguo also followed the princes of the world to send several letters in succession, protesting that the Son of Heaven acted too roughly, ignored the suffering of the people, and did unrighteous things!

The princes of the world originally had a lot of opinions about Xiguo, everyone paid so little tribute, but you Xiguo paid so much tribute, compared with the two, you didn't tear down the stage.

This kind of complaint is not a few, not when I saw that Xiguo also joined the team of condemning the Son of Heaven, the princes of the world complained to Xiguo a lot less, and a little more understanding - Xiguo is not easy, walking on thin ice, if it is not a last resort, who is willing to give up money and food.

For a time, the princes of the world suffered for a long time, hated the same enemy, and denounced the emperor.
