Over Yingzhou Island, the dark clouds were bleak, and the big raindrops fell in an instant, and the originally clear sky no longer existed, and it was already occupied by the stormy weather at this time.

"Boom-" The sound of continuous warship cannon firing resounded throughout the northeast sea of Yingzhou Island, and the ten warships that originally participated in the resistance in Great Xia turned into powder in an instant.

"Yingzhou Coast Guard!"

On the streets of Minzhou, a fast horse galloped over, and the people on the horse, while panting, shouted in their mouths, and soon arrived at the government office of Minzhou.

This government is different from other government offices, he does not belong to the establishment of Minzhou, but belongs to the overseas trade customs of the Great Xia country.

"Lord Qiqi, Lord Lu, Yingzhou Coast Guard! On the morning of this day, Dongying sent troops to attack Yingzhou Island, and the officers and soldiers defending the island were all killed! Yingzhou Island County Order, led the militia to fight to the death and did not retreat, but they were outnumbered, and I am afraid that they had already been buried under the knife of the Dongying army at this time. ”

The soldiers on the fast horses broke into the general customs office, panting and talking to Lu Chengxiang in the main hall, and unwrapped themselves behind them as they spoke. However, he didn't notice Lu Chengxiang's face at this time, and he had already become gloomy.

"Please also ask Lord Lu to quickly transfer this military information to Jizhou ......"

Lu Chengxiang took the package, slapped the table suddenly, interrupted the soldier's words, and shouted: "This is a special folding package for the feudal officials, and the content inside belongs to the top secret level. Originally, it was just the loss of Yingzhou Island, but in the end, it will be rumored that Great Xia lost all the islands along the coast! ”

"A small disaster, yelled at by you like this, in the end, almost everyone knew about it, and the hearts of the entire Great Xia people were in chaos, and people were terrible!"

In the last four words, Lu Chengxiang said very seriously, and the soldier's face quickly turned pale: "Lord Lu, the villain doesn't know ......."

"You're tired, go down and rest!"

Lu Chengxiang couldn't help but sigh, it's no wonder, if someone told this soldier, I'm afraid that such a thing would not have happened. However, fighting on the front line, time is pressing, and things are urgent, who would think of such a thing?

When the soldier heard Lu Chengxiang say this, he hesitated for a few moments before retreating. After the soldiers left, Lu Chengxiang called a few people: "You will walk this and send it to Jizhou quickly, remember to shout the victory of Yingzhou Island along the way!" ”

"Yes!"

The matter of the coast guard naturally did not cause fluctuations in a wide range, and at the same time, in the Jizhou court, the controversy of many ministers about Qin Yi's proposal gradually decreased.

"Whether the civil tax is abolished or not remains to be discussed, after all, this involves basic national policies. It's okay to have new laws. After all, the old law has been in place for hundreds of years, and it's time for a change. As for the distribution of acres to the peasants, the vast majority of people do not agree with this item, so I can forget it! ”

Xia Changgao sat on the dragon chair in the center of the Jinluan Palace, without the slightest expression on his face. He made such a conclusion, which was actually related to the quarrel of the courtiers. As an emperor, even if he is in power, he has to pretend to maintain the balance of all parties.

What's more, Qin Yi in front of him is just a student.

Qin Yi asked himself, those things of his did not offend the courtiers and ministers, but they still caused a lot of controversy. Among them, I am afraid that because I have no personal power, or because I am in the middle, there are very few people who support me.

In fact, there are pros and cons to being a centrist. All the situations have been shown, and the disadvantage of the centrists, that is, above the court, is not echoed by too many people.

Even though the civil tax has been tacitly agreed upon by many people, this tacit understanding does not mean that no one is against it. It is precisely because there are too many people who oppose it that Xia Chang will take the item to be discussed.

As for the distribution of acres of land to the peasants, almost all the ministers adopted an attitude of opposition, and it was obvious that this measure hit the nail on the head for them. The excessive concentration of land in the hands of certain forces will result in the starvation of the peasants and the gradual decline of the level of productivity.

At this time, Qin Yi, through Xia Chang's words, probably understood who were the people in the Great Xia court. These people are nothing more than officials who do not take the common people into account at all for their own interests.

To put it bluntly, many officials in Great Xia have long forgotten the people-oriented thinking.

"I beg your Majesty, to discuss it again. If these three articles are not implemented, after a long time, the people of Daxia will definitely change! ”

Qin Yi still wanted to make another final effort, but when he looked at the faces of the ministers, he understood that even if he made an effort, Xia Chang in front of him might not choose to implement his own plan.

Sure enough, just as Qin Yi thought, Xia Chang shook his head: "Today's court discussion is over here!" Qin Yi, as the first place in the Great Power Test, I expect you to be the first in the Great Dynasty Test. In that case, I will give you an important position! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Yi was a little unwilling, but he could only agree.

The bell rang, Xia Chang got up and left the Jinluan Palace, and it was already time for the next dynasty.

"This Qin Yi has some ability, as a centrist, these things proposed have nothing to do with us, but he wants to uproot our forces!"

"Hmph, it's a pity that such a centrist is overconfident? Whether it is us or another faction, the fundamental foothold lies in the concentration of acres in the hands of our subordinate families. His proposal has offended the two forces, and I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat in the future. ”

After the ministers left, Qin Yi walked out of the Jinluan Palace. His pace was slow, and he wasn't heading in the direction of the palace gate.

"This is Weiyang Palace, right?"

In a flash, Qin Yi came to a ruined palace, and there was a stone tablet next to it, which read, "Weiyang Palace Forbidden Area, idlers are not allowed to enter!" "A few big words.

"What happened to Weiyang Palace twenty years ago? Xia Cao, the heir to the throne who is in exile!" Qin Yi thought about something in his heart, "The trip to the ghost capital has brought me closer and closer to the truth of that matter." ”

Some things in the court today made him see the faces of the ministers in the court clearly.

Suddenly, Qin Yi, who originally had no pursuit of officialdom, suddenly had a certain desire in his heart.

"Since I want this Great Xia to develop according to my own way of thinking, then I should control the government of Great Xia by myself!"
