Xiao Tianyao's letter to the emperor was secretly sent to Xiao Tianyao by General Zhu, who came to protect King Qin that day, and it was a letter of collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country in the emperor's tone, the emperor's handwriting, and the emperor's private seal.

If such a letter falls into the hands of someone with a heart, the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to wash it away even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

"What's the matter with this letter?" The moment he saw the letter, the emperor himself was stunned.

He is a person who is an emperor, no matter how stupid and stupid he is, he knows that such a thing as cooperating with other countries must not leave written evidence, and there is no one around him, and it is ten thousand times better to ask someone to pass the word than to write a letter.

"The slave doesn't know, it was King Xiao who ordered the slave to present it to the saint." The little eunuch said truthfully.

"Can anyone see that?" This letter is simply going to ruin his life's reputation.

"No, His Royal Highness King Xiao ordered that no one should be allowed to check it." The little eunuch lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, without a trace of weakness and uneasiness, and made it clear that he didn't know anything.

If it was in the past, the emperor would have taken the other party's life in line with the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, but now?

In the huge court, there are fewer and fewer people he can trust, and there is one less person in his palace who kills one.

"Stand down." The emperor took the letter, but remembered another thing in his heart.

Without waiting for the letter to be processed, the emperor issued an order to release the eunuchs and maids in the palace and re-select them.

In this way, it doesn't matter who those people are, anyway, all the people are outside the palace.

As soon as the news came out, the queen of Luanfeng Palace almost vomited blood, and finally took advantage of the emperor's unconscious to hold the inner court in her hands, and covered the palace with all kinds of eyeliner, but the emperor's words made her fall short.

She said, the emperor shouldn't wake up!

When Zhou Guifei learned of this, her face was not very good-looking, and she did not make small moves during this time, but compared to the queen, her losses were almost negligible.

Her honor and favor all come from the emperor, and the emperor is good for her, and there is no harm to her.

After solving the problem of employing people in the palace, the emperor paid attention to the letter, and after reading the letter carefully, the emperor personally burned the letter, crushed the ashes, and soaked them in water, which was reassuring.

That night, the emperor found out the people in the secret and asked them to find out who had the opportunity to touch his private seal before he fell unconscious.

The emperor's people tried to investigate, but in the end, only a few palace maids and eunuchs were checked, and these people disappeared when the emperor was unconscious.

If the clues are broken, the origin of this letter will also be broken, and all the clues are in Xiao Tianyao's hands, but Xiao Tianyao will never tell him.

"I, I didn't lose unjustly this time." Obviously, he lost this game, but the emperor didn't take it to heart, after all, he was unconscious at that time, and it was not shameful to lose.

The matter of the letter has passed, but the suspicion in the emperor's heart has not disappeared, and now he doesn't trust anyone, especially after his people find out about the various movements of the queen and Zhou Guifei, he can't believe anyone anymore.

It took five days to find out what should have been known, and when he learned that the imperial mission was on the way, the emperor was in a good mood and reassured for ten days.

In the past ten days, the emperor was not recuperating from his injuries in peace, but secretly contacted his old ministry and prepared to seize power in one fell swoop.

Half a month later, the emperor recovered from a serious illness and went to the early court for the first time. The people who secretly contacted the emperor in the early days had three excerpts in a row, and the most important one was reform.

The emperor wants to re-reform the official system and the military department, change the six ministries to ten, abolish the cabinet, and the place where the generals of the military department lead the army is no longer a lifelong system, but a rotation system, which is rotated once every three years, starting this year.

As soon as the reform plan came out, the whole court was quiet, Lin Xiang and the six Shangshu all looked uneasy, they didn't have to think about it to know that the emperor was targeting them.

"Do you have any objections?" The emperor was in the first place, taking in the looks of the ministers, and when he saw their panicked expressions, he smiled disdainfully.

The emperor is the emperor, and his authority cannot be provoked by anyone.

How capable the queen is? As soon as he opens his golden mouth, the bureau that the queen has spent decades laying out can be easily destroyed.

No matter how powerful King Xiao is? With the financial support of the King of the Northern Regions and the support of the Central Empire, he has enough confidence to reform and cut the rights of the six ministries.

The Manchu minister was silent, looking down at the tips of his shoes.

If you don't express your opinion at this time, you don't agree, but the emperor doesn't take their opposition seriously, and directly names Xiao Tianyao: "Tianyao, what do you think?" ”

"The ministers have no objections, and the emperor has reformed the six ministries, which has greatly reduced the burden on all the adults. Although the military's rotation system will affect the cohesion of soldiers, it will be fine if it is slowly run-in. Xiao Tianyao opened his mouth nonchalantly.

Reform?

The emperor has been bored for fifteen days, and he has made such a bad move?

The emperor thought that the reform would affect his interests?

No, it is the power of the family that is moving the reform, and the family will never allow the emperor to reform and weaken their power.

"King Xiao has no objection, what about the right minister? Can you have objections? The emperor asked symbolically, thinking that with King Xiao taking the lead, these people would not be silent, but he didn't expect the right minister to say as soon as he opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, the number of officials in the court is not enough, and officials need to be re-selected, I don't know how these people choose?" In addition, with the addition of nearly half of the officials, can the treasury have money to pay the corresponding money? ”

Although Dongwen is rich, it is the people who are rich, and the annual tax revenue of the imperial court is barely enough, and the officials who have suddenly doubled are where the silver comes from?

"Don't worry about the silver, I have asked the Northern Regions to pay taxes again, and the King of the Northern Regions has agreed." If there was no preparation in advance, how could the emperor dare to talk about reform indiscriminately.

"That's great, I don't know if the Northern Regions has a fixed tax system? Or is it a tax sharing system? How much tax revenue can the king of the Northern Regions say he pays in a year, and who will send someone to collect it? The right prime minister woke up with a shocked face, and a series of questions fell down.

The emperor had already prepared and responded one by one.

The Northern Regions use a fixed tax system, and the taxes they pay can just raise the extra forty percent of the officials, and there is only one condition for the Northern Regions to pay so much, to ensure that one percent of the new forty percent of the officials are from the Northern Regions.

There is nothing in this world that does not want anything, the Northern Regions give so many benefits, as long as one percent of the quota is considered a loss, but in the end, who wins and who loses, who is accurate?

You must know that these four adults are all raised by the Northern Regions, and once the Northern Regions turn their faces, Dongwen's treasury will have problems.

The stakes are very high, and although the question of the right minister has been answered, he still has not expressed his agreement with the reform, and the generals also have a rejection attitude towards the rotation system mentioned by the emperor.

Leading soldiers is not child's play, the money allocated by the imperial court is not enough to raise soldiers, their soldiers are raised at their own expense, and they have already developed feelings, and the emperor suddenly asked them to hand them over, whether it is out of interest or feelings, they have no way to accept it.

And, most importantly, three years is too short a time period for them to be transferred before they even know what is going on the ground. In this way, if there is really a war, what will they use to fight?

So, the emperor proposed to change the shoes, except for King Xiao who made it clear that he had no objection, the ministers of civil and military affairs did not agree, and the matter reached an impasse......
