After the year, the most favored concubine gave birth to a young son to herself, and Wanli was overjoyed to have a son when she was old, and she felt that she was very young and could live for a few more decades.

But the things in this world are not all pleased, this is not just the full moon of the Nine Emperors, and several major events have happened one after another, which has made Wanli very annoying.

One is that the original head of the auxiliary leaf greeted Gao and did not beat himself, packed up the bed and left;

One is that Wu Daonan, who was originally scheduled to join the cabinet with Fang Congzhe, asked to resign because of the fraud case in the field when he presided over the examination the year before last;

One is that the Jianzhou Weilonghu general of Liaodong, Nuerhachi, established himself as the Jin State, and wrote to the same old vassal as Korea;

One is that major droughts have occurred in Liaodong, Shandong, Hebei and other places, and Guangdong has also reported a major earthquake in Qiongzhou.

In addition, Yang Lian and others, who made a case of knocking on the palace last year, still held on to the so-called murderer behind the scenes, and asked the emperor to issue an order to strictly investigate Li Jinzhong and his instigators.

These, annoying are definitely annoying, but they didn't make Wanli angry.

But there was an incident that made Wanli very angry, which was the tax supervision case that happened in Shaanxi a few days ago.

Shaanxi tax supervisor Liang Xiao was originally the palace imperial horse supervisor, six years ago to Shaanxi as a tax supervisor, in order to be able to complete the tax collection mission, Liang Xiao learned from the rest of the provinces to recruit a group of people, privately stored 300 horses, formed a group of soldiers and horses for tax collection, called the "tax army".

Although this move is not legal, it is also a helpless move.

If there is no tax army, there is no one to use in the place; If no one is available, there is no tax to collect. There are no taxes to collect, and the treasury is still as empty as before.

There are three tax armies with relatively large scales, one is the "Flying Tiger Army" of the former Liaodong Dajue Gaohuai; the second is the "Flying Eagle Army" of Chen Feng, the Huguang tax envoy; The third is the newly established maritime army in the south of the Yangtze River, also known as the "Imperial Army".

Of these three troops, the Flying Tiger Army was dead, and most of them were merged into the Imperial Army. The Flying Eagle Army was abolished due to the Huguang Rebellion, and the tax envoy Chen Feng was even thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fish by the chaotic people.

The only one who maintains a complete military system and has a large number of troops is the imperial army, but the imperial army is used for maritime affairs, although there have been conflicts with the local area in the south of the Yangtze River, but the stakes are not great, and Wei Liangchen, the minister of the imperial army, is friendly with the Zhejiang party, so except for the Donglin party still refers to it as an eagle dog, the rest of the parties are not how to blame.

Shaanxi tax envoy Liang Xiao's tax army is self-contained, and has no relationship with any party in the DPRK and China, so it has been resisted by Yu Maoheng, the governor of Shaanxi, and instructed the prefecture and county not to assist him, so that Liang Xiao's tax collection in Shaanxi in three years was only more than 40,000 taels.

With such efficiency, it is natural that the emperor is not happy, and the princes of the inner court are not happy.

Liang Xiao was in a hurry, but he really didn't withdraw, so he instructed the tax soldiers to dig up the tombs of the past dynasties, and handed over seventy percent of the treasures in the tombs to the inner treasury, and the remaining three percent were retained.

If we don't let us collect the taxes of the living, then what does it have to do with your place if we take the money of the dead!

Not to mention, there are really a lot of treasures in the mausoleums of the past dynasties, in just two years, Liang Xiao's tax army has excavated seven large tombs, a number of small tombs, more than 10,000 gold in the inner treasury, more than 300,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the jewelry can not be counted.

As a result, Liang Xiao has also become another "donor" celebrity in the palace since Gao Huai, Ma Tang, Chen Feng, Chen Zeng, and Wei Liangchen.

However, tomb robbery is a crime after all, and the tax army has also excavated tombs where there are still descendants, which naturally aroused the resentment of Shaanxi officialdom.

Liang Xiao has an officer named Zhang Quanfang under his command, and his ancestors are good at tomb robbers, and he has learned good skills. Seven out of ten tombs robbed by the tax army were broken holes, so Yu Maoheng in Shaanxi was deeply disgusted with this person, and secretly ordered him to be arrested to break the beam and effect his arm.

Liang Xiaozhi did not allow Zhang Quanfang to be taken, and brought the tax soldiers to save people, but asked the Shaanxi soldiers who had been prepared to stop him.

Before Liang Xiaoshang Shu Emperor clarified the matter, Yu Maoheng had Zhang Quanfang executed. Liang Xiao was so angry that he asked someone to buy off the servants of the governor's yamen, poisoned Yu Maoheng's food, and wanted to kill the governor.

Yu Maoheng was almost poisoned, and at this time, he immediately opened the sky, which can be described as the anger of the full dynasty.

Tens of thousands of people in Shaanxi shouted and broke into the Liang Xiao Tax Office, they opened the military depot, took out their weapons, and rushed into the streets, causing the Xi'an market to be smashed.

If it weren't for the governor of Shaanxi, Yu Maoheng, who personally came forward to appease the people, I am afraid that there would be a bigger incident.

Wanli was very angry after receiving the report, this time he did not protect the short, nor did he consider that most of the treasures obtained by Liang Xiao from digging the mausoleum went into his inner treasury, but ordered Jinyiwei to immediately send someone to Shaanxi to arrest Liang Xiao.

"Poisoning the governor's ministers, Liang Xiao, this slave is so bold!"

Wanli was really angry, Liang Xiao's poisoning and assassination of Yu Maoheng, the governor of Shaanxi, had touched his bottom line. No matter how much he favored his ministers, no matter how dissatisfied he was with the foreign dynasty, he could not tolerate Liang Xiao's actions.

"Your Majesty said this, Liang Xiao is not a bad thing to do for Your Majesty, but now that something has happened, Your Majesty blames him, and the concubine looks unreasonable." The concubine said casually while coaxing the son in her arms.

"What doesn't make sense? What is Concubine Ai talking about, even the governor dares to poison him, is there still law and discipline in his eyes? If you can poison the governor's ministers today, will he poison me tomorrow! ”

Wanli is unhappy, there is a lawsuit, the emperor can carry it, and if there is trouble, the emperor can also help solve it, but he Liang Xiao poisoned the governor and important ministers behind his back, how can this matter be tolerated!

"Just say it, what are you staring at the concubine, why are you so loud?" The concubine turned her back angrily.

"A woman's opinion!"

Wanli snorted.

The concubine didn't want to say it anymore, but she was not happy with her husband's words, so she turned her head and "sneered": "The concubine doesn't dare to interfere in politics." ”

"If it weren't for you, I would have let that kid go!"

Thinking of the loss suffered by his daughter, Wanli was angry and itchy.

The concubine froze for a moment and muttered: "Obviously, Your Majesty is thinking about other people's silver, why did you rely on me again." ”

"Nonsense, am I a money-grubber?" Wanli was panting heavily.

"What about bonds?" The concubine glared at her husband.

"I... I won't tell you,"

Wanli's old face turned red for no reason, and he couldn't get angry, "One day, your good daughter and son-in-law will lose my face!" ”

"It was your emperor's idea not to purify his body that day, how did it depend on me!" The concubine was not happy to push everything on her head. Although, she is sure to protect that kid.

"I didn't know that kid would break Xuan Yuan's body, if I knew, I would have cleaned him up." Wanli exhaled.

"The wood has become a boat, and the raw rice has become cooked rice, what else do you want?"

The concubine sighed lightly, and silently unbuttoned her shirt to feed her son. Xu is because of her personal nursing, and the figure of the concubine is fuller than ever.

"I don't blame anyone."

Seeing that the youngest son in Concubine Ai's arms was sucking intently, Wanli's eyes suddenly became very loving.

"Then what are you angry at your concubines?"

The concubine pouted, took out the strip of cloth on her chest and placed it on the table.

The strips of cloth were already soaking wet.
