Xue Chunyue opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, and after a while, he yelled at Ye Cizhun, "This is my Xue Chunyue's business, it's not your turn to care!" Ye Ci allows you to let me go! Xue Chunyue shook off Ye Cizhun fiercely, jumped into the carriage in three or two steps, and called Xinyan out, leaving him alone with Ye Qinyu.

Although Xue Chunyue had explained his plan in the Xiangwang Mansion countless times, Ye Qinyu always had a pimple in his heart and didn't want to see him. Now that he actually broke into the door, Ye Qinyu was even more embarrassed and angry, and he was about to take the door and leave, but was held down by Xue Chunyue.

"Where do you want to go?" Xue Chunyue forced Ye Qinyu's eyes.

"You have to take care of it!"

"The three years I left you were so painful that I couldn't suffer again!"

Ye Qinyu was a little stunned and looked at his painful eyes. Those three years...... He had indeed endured inhuman torture, and her heart was slightly touched at the thought of this.

Xue Chunyue stroked her face and said almost in a mournful tone, "I'm sorry...... This time I was wrong. Don't leave me, okay? I promise there will never be a ......."

"She is your wife, how can you guarantee ......" Ye Qinyu looked desolate and slowly lowered his head.

Xue Chunyue hugged her, "Qinyu, give me a little more time, soon we will be free, believe me!" ”

There is a hearty atmosphere that only belongs to him...... Ye Qinyu felt that he was beginning to covet his arms again, and scolded himself for being incompetent and useless ten thousand times in his heart, no matter how painfully he was determined to leave him, as soon as he got close, he lost the ability to push him away.

Xue Chunyue kissed her forehead lightly and muttered to herself, "Qinyu, I was wrong, I was really wrong......"

Ye Qinyu slowly closed his eyes, but finally gave up the struggle and reached out to wrap his arms around his waist.

Xue Chunyue felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and suddenly kissed her lips, the sweetness and softness that he had not seen for a long time almost wanted to make him crazy......

Suddenly remembering that there was still Ye Cizhun and Xinyan outside the carriage, Ye Qinyu hurriedly pushed him away before he could make the next move, "I want to go to Lingyun Peak to live for a while......"

She really didn't want to see Yi'an, and she didn't even want to hear her voice, but Yi'an and Ying'er always liked to walk around Qinchun Garden, which annoyed her.

Xue Chunyue listened to her tone, as if she had finally eased, this time it should not be to say goodbye to him, so she said, "Anyway, I have been suspended by His Majesty now, and the court and the yamen can't enter, so I'll accompany you to Lingyun Peak." ”

"But your wife is still at home...... Hmmm......"

Ye Qinyu's lips were sealed again, and all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his mouth......

Xue Chunyue got out of the carriage, pulled Xinyan into the carriage, and sent him back to the carriage, he himself sat in the coachman's seat, turned his head and said to Ye Cizhun, "Brother Ye, thank you for the carriage of your mansion, and I will return it twice in the future!" After saying that, he threw off his bridle and galloped away.

When Ye Cizhun reacted, there was only a puff of dust left on the official road, so he had no choice but to ride Xue Chunyue's horse and go home.

As soon as Wei Shaoqing arrived in Jingnan Province, he quickly arrested several officials of the Provincial Government's subordinate Equalization Division, and then went to prison for interrogation, and in just half a month, he pulled out a nest case.

Since Ye Cizhun and Xue Chunyue carried out a top-down reform of the equalization level, the power of the equalization division has been unprecedentedly expanded, not only enjoying the right to manage the river, but also arbitrarily mobilizing local people, officers and soldiers to transport manpower, so that the local prefectures and counties are overridden by it. Losing the constraints of the state and county yamen, the Junyi Division began to do whatever he wanted, wantonly occupying local manpower and materials, and stealing in-kind tribute taxes to privately transfer and sell, filling his own pockets.

As soon as the results came out, the court was in an uproar. Emperor Hongyuan ordered Ye Cizhun and Xue Chunyue to return to the dynasty and listen to the government.

The two factions that support and oppose equalization have formed two factions that are incompatible, and they are arguing endlessly in the court.

But no matter how eloquent the opponents were, when Ye Cizhun asked rhetorically how to enrich the treasury that could not make ends meet if it was not implemented, no one could offer a good plan.

The only way to increase revenue is to raise taxes, but increasing taxes is tantamount to increasing the burden on the common people. Since the founding of the country, taxes have been decreasing, from one tax per ten at the beginning of the founding of the country to one tax per fifteen at the time, and only the tariff on imported goods has remained at one tax per ten. Now that the four seas are peaceful, there is no war outside, no rebellion inside, and there is absolutely no reason to increase taxes.

The treasury of the Great Cause Country is not spent, it is no longer a matter of one or two days, and what Emperor Hongyuan inherited from his father is an empty treasury. The expenses that the court can see are not much, but the expenses that cannot be seen are increasing day by day.

Daye's army has increased to several million, a tenfold increase from the beginning of the founding of the country. The expenditure on food, grass and military salaries is very huge, and it is good that there is no war, but whenever there is a little war, the military expenditure will increase exponentially. The bureaucratic system is getting bigger and bigger, especially the redundant officials and princes who have no power in their hands but have a lot of money. In addition, there are fortifications, water conservancy, construction, and natural disaster relief, etc., which are not worth a lot of money, and the great cause of the country cannot make ends meet by taxes alone.

After a debate, Ye Cizhun and Xue Chunyue are still the uncrowned kings. Everything is the same as before, but Emperor Hongyuan took back the growing power of Taifu Temple, and put the jurisdiction of the river in the hands of the governor of each province, the Jiedu envoy, who set up a deputy transfer envoy, who was responsible for undertaking the decree of Taifu Temple, and led the affairs of the whole province to equalize the leveling, including operation scheduling. In addition, the post of water and land transfer of Taifu Temple was cancelled, and the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple was directly in charge of the equalization business, directly responsible for the household department, and the direct influence of Taifu Temple on equalization was overheaded.

Ye Cizhun due to lax supervision, dismissed the Taifu Temple, and sent out from the Sanpin Guannan Province Jiedu envoy, because Wei should return to Beijing and the vacant Guannan Province Jiedu envoy position was also filled, at this time from the outlying islands to return to Beijing, but a year has passed. Xue Chunyue was somewhat stained with the light of the identity of the county master, and stayed as the head of the household department, and was fully responsible for the over-allocation of various transport routes, and made up for the mistakes.

Emperor Hongyuan's move, first, to suppress the power of Taifu Temple and calm the anger of the public; The second is to eliminate Ye Cizhun's influence in the court, avoid the loss of power, and give opportunities for powerful ministers to form parties for personal gain.

At this point, the old and new forces of the imperial court returned to calm on the surface.

In Wei Shaoqing's secret report to Emperor Hongyuan, there are still a few clues pointing to King Xu being the mastermind behind the troubles in the state, with the purpose of purging Ye Cizhun forces, but Emperor Hongyuan didn't seem to be expanding the incident, so he pressed it, and the matter ended. In order to balance King Xi, Emperor Hongyuan gave the new post of Taifu Siqing to Song Huifei's brother, Song Yaozhi, who is currently the envoy of Jingnan Province. Song Yaozhi is already old, and it is impossible to be as resolute as Ye Cizhun, just enough to frustrate the sharpness of Taifu Temple.

Unexpectedly, Xue Chengren, the assassin of Jingyang, was promoted to be the new envoy of Jingnan Province. The younger brother who has always been despised by Xue Chengming, the secretary of Honglu Temple, was also promoted to a member of the third grade, and he was on an equal footing with himself, which made Xue Chengming, who regarded etiquette as a god in a standardized manner, respect and humility in an orderly manner, very unhappy.

With the help of Xue Chengren's influence, Xihexing is growing stronger and stronger in Jingyang, surpassing the industry leader Dingtaihe is just around the corner.

With Ye Cizhun's release, Wei Yingshi's forced him to marry Wei Zhiyu had to be stopped, for Ye Cizhun, it was tantamount to a blessing in disguise, but Wei Yingshi was still silent about Su Yuming's whereabouts, neither saying that he had seen it, nor that he had not seen it. There is also a small episode in this matter, it is reported that before Ye Cizhun left Beijing, Emperor Hongyuan had secretly ordered him to enter the palace, but no one knew what he said.

After Ye Cizhun left Beijing, both the household department and the Taifu Temple experienced a lot of shocks. Almost all of the people promoted by Ye Cizhun during his tenure in Taifu Temple were implicated, or released, demoted, or directly dismissed. Song Yaozhi first arrived, and before he could react, the key vacancies in the household department and Taifu Temple were filled blank by the veteran Wei Yingshi.

Everyone said that Ye Cizhun's efforts in the past year were like a bamboo basket drawing water, leaving an empty space, and the Taifu Temple that had been run was all given to Wei Yingshi and Song Yaozhi, the two old foxes.

Wang Xiangjun, who was planning all this in Xiangzhou, never imagined that the civil strife of a tribe in Xiangzhou would defeat his painstaking management to nothing. Xue Chunyue has been set aside by Wei Yingshi and Song Yaozhi, and its use value will become less and less, Liu You, the king of Xiangjun, began to instigate Yi'an to reconcile with Xue Chunyue, in the country of Daye, although the harmony between the emperor's relatives is not normal, but it is not uncommon, Yi'an does not need to hang himself on Xue Chunyue's dead wood, but Yi'an is unwilling.

Ye Qinyu has never returned to the house since she lived in Lingyun Peak, and Yi'an was very happy, but what she didn't expect was that Xue Chunyue gradually stopped returning home, and the entire household servant mansion was lifeless, which made her very bored.

In the middle of spring, there were more and more people on the spring outing in the suburbs of Changxing, and Yi'an was very bored in the house, so he took Ying'er and a few servants to the suburbs to breathe.

The grass on the outskirts of Changxing City grows and the warbler flies, the spring sings and the water sings, Yi'an has never seen such a vibrant scene since she left Xiangzhou, and the unhappiness between her head and Brother Wang or Xue Chunyue has been emptied for the time being, she trotted all the way, chasing the boundless spring scene, and unconsciously, a group of people brought from the house were only Ying'er.

Yi'an has been used to being raised by the grandmothers of Xiangwangfu since she was a child, and she has always been willful and bold, and she is not afraid of getting lost with a group of attendants, but feels more free, so she doesn't care much, but continues to walk to a place where there are few people, and gradually, there is no one around.

Ying'er was a little scared, and followed Yi'an several times to persuade her to go back, but Yi'an turned a deaf ear.

In fact, it's not that Yi'an doesn't want to turn back, but she seems to be lost, turning left and right but can't find the way to come...... Seeing that the time was approaching and night was about to fall, a sense of uneasiness finally rose in Yi An's heart.

"Madam, there is a cliff ahead, please stay!"

Behind him there was the sound of horses' hooves, and soon a resounding voice was heard.

It was an unfamiliar male voice, Yi Anxin suddenly became scared, and instead of stopping, He Ying'er accelerated his pace and walked forward.

The man behind him seemed to be in a hurry, and ran over with a "driving" sound, "Madam, don't go any further, it's really a cliff over there!" ”
