Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, appeared.

Liu Xingchao: "Let's not talk about dispersing or not dispersing the eunuch gang, and we won't talk about whether the eunuchs will be castrated in the future, let's talk about taxation first." The imperial court previously ordered the eunuch to pay half a tax, and this matter should not be changed, otherwise where is the authority of the imperial court and the emperor? Fairness and commitment are our principles so that our system can endure. As for whether you will be eunuchs in the future and how much tax the eunuchs will collect in the future, that is your problem, but these tens of millions of eunuchs cannot collect the full tax, let alone double the tax. ”

Prime Minister Li Guozhong: "Tens of millions of people! And these people are rich, how much less tax is charged? ”

Liu Xingchao: "If you want money, go to the house!" Copy a few Dashi clans, and the Ming Dynasty will pay taxes for a year. It's not like you haven't done this. ”

Li Guozhong: "Why do you care about this? These are all black cauldrons left by Li Yongfu, why do you want to carry them? ”

Liu Xingchao: "Li Yongfu is the head of the inner court for a while, but the inner court is the eternal inner court. The pot in the inner court, of course I have to carry it. ”

Yang Mingyang, Minister of Survival and Minister of Law, stepped forward: "Is it that the Eunuch Gang is your person, you can't bear it?" ”

Liu Xingchao's face changed greatly: "Damn! We can't fight them! What's wrong with me! ”

I'm going to be fair, but these low-level eunuchs are completely different from us high-level eunuchs, like wooden fish and goldfish. They were forced to castrate, we were actively castrated, our origins and interests are completely different, what is the comparison?

They are emasculated because they don't know what to say. We are emasculated for our ideals! It's like humans and dogs are both animals, but humans like to eat dogs.

The world's IQ is too low to distinguish between the individual and the collective, so they always make this low-level mistake.

The waste in the eunuchs thinks even so. They thought: they are eunuchs, and the inner court above the emperor and the court is also eunuchs, and they are also eunuchs, and the inner court must be with them. They swagger and deceive all day long under the banner of the inner court, and do all kinds of evil. As a result, the reputation of the inner court has always been stinking to death. There are a few thousand people in the inner court, and there are tens of thousands of counties and four billion people in the Ming Dynasty, and they can't get away with it even if they want to do harm.

Later, the inner court felt that this matter could not go on like this, so it controlled the upper echelons of the eunuch gang and asked them to restrain these tens of millions of gangs. As a result, it seems that the eunuchs are really the peripheral organization of the inner court, and the kindness of the inner court has become evidence that the inner court has done bad things.

Liu Xingchao must have thought the same way, he must have been very aggrieved at this time. He continued: "The inner court has nothing to do with the eunuchs! Although the leader of the eunuch gang and the prison gang are from the inner court, it is only to control them, not to mention the eunuch gang, and the other thousands of gangs are also people from the inner court or the outer court. For example, the leaders of the Salt Gang and the Sugar Gang, and the Prison Gang are people from the Outer Dynasty, so when did I say that the Outer Dynasty has a second heart? ”

Prime Minister Li Guozhong stood in front of Liu Xingchao and said, "Then prove it, disband the eunuch gang and raise taxes on them." ”

Liu Xingchao: "Don't come to this set!" Why should I prove it? Anyway, the eunuch gang cannot be disbanded, and taxes are not allowed to be increased! I do these things for the sake of Daming, not for myself. Believe it or not! ”

The hall fell silent again.

At this time, Ma Jiahui, the former eunuch who was standing beside the emperor, walked down the stage and walked into the court.

He looked at everybody, and everybody looked at him.

Ma Jiahui: "The Senate agreed to raise taxes. ”

Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, showed a curious expression, and he asked Ma Jiahui in a strange tone: "You manage too much, right?" The eunuch gang is a matter of the inner court, and it is your turn to speak? Also, what will happen to the patriarchs? ”

Ma Jiahui straightened his collar and said, "I forgot to tell you, my official identity now is: the spokesperson of the Senate Council, responsible for liaising with the inner court and the outer court. ”

Liu Xingchao: "What is a spokesperson?" Haven't heard of it. ”

Ma Jiahui: "It's the representative of the Senate." When you see me, it's like meeting the Senate. ”

Liu Xingchao stared at him deadly.

Ma continued: "The Senate agrees with the Prime Minister. ”

Liu Xingchao snorted and said, "Do they agree or do you agree?" ”

Ma Jiahui: "We all agree. ”

Liu Xingchao: "Hmph." Then you can do it yourself. There are four kinds of people in this world, the royal family, the noble family, the commoners, and the eunuchs. Eunuchs are the most widely distributed, and every commoner family has a eunuch. If you do not hesitate to offend billions of civilians in order to exterminate tens of millions of eunuchs, then you will do it yourself. But I'm going to say ugly things ahead, you guys don't want me to wipe your ass if you get into trouble. I don't care about your business anymore! ”

Liu Xingchao stopped talking and looked up at the ceiling of the main hall.

Everyone stopped talking.

In the past, when someone was in charge, everyone could say whatever they wanted, and anyway, someone else made the decision, and someone else was responsible. Now Liu Xingchao is left alone, and in the future, it will be who speaks, who acts, and who is responsible.

Prime Minister Li Guozhong spoke first: "Send troops to clear the field?" ”

Since Liu Xingchao said the serious consequences of the war against the eunuchs, everyone was a little worried, and still no one spoke. Nonsense, now whoever speaks is responsible. Especially if you have government soldiers, you have to spend your own money to fight the rebels, who wants to do this.

At this time, Lu Yuanzhou, the leader of the Jiangnan Party, stood up and said: "It's better to give them one last chance, if the eunuch gang is loyal to the imperial court, they don't need to be disbanded, and their tax rate is the same as that of ordinary civilians." This is the final bottom line, and it can't be changed. ”

Li Guozhong touched his beard: "It's okay." Who will tell them? ”

Li Feiyu next to him stood up and said, "I'm willing to go!" ”

People were looking at him.

Liu Xingchao also stared at him with a frown.

Li Feiyu explained — he faced Liu Xingchao, largely to his immediate superiors — and said: "I have a lot of friends who are in the castration gang, and I will persuade them once. I have to be angry, don't I? ”

So it was decided.

Li Feiyu walked out of the palace and drove to the intersection of Chang'an Road with a convoy, and I followed.

Chang'an City has no city walls, and various streets and roads lead directly to the outside.

Now, dozens of intersections in the north of Chang'an are filled with hundreds of thousands of people. They also tried to rush into Chang'an City, but the imperial army, the forbidden army, and the government army blocked them.

More than a million people are facing off nervously.

The eunuch disciples looked quite neat, all wearing light gray thin clothes, with strips of red cloth wrapped around their heads, and three black characters written on them, "I don't accept", but none of them had weapons.

At first glance, they are high-class people, and they are worlds different from beggars and private gangs, and even seem to be stronger than ordinary civilians.

They had already clashed with the Imperial Army, pushing and scolding.

Li Feiyu stood on the roof of the car, holding a big horn in his hand, and everyone looked at him.

He said: "Listen, I am Li Feiyu, the general of the forbidden army. I'll give you a chance, go back immediately, live in peace, and pay the same taxes as the common people. Otherwise, you'll all die here, and if you don't, you'll have to pay double the tax when you go back!" Did you understand it all? ”

More than a million people looked at him quietly.

There was a slight sound in the distance, and then it grew louder, more and more neat, and more and more shocking. I finally understood, hundreds of thousands of people shouted four words: "I don't accept it!" ”

They shouted these three words repeatedly, waved their fists, and stomped their feet vigorously.

They stamped their feet in unison, and their right hands swung their fists neatly, forcing the army to retreat.

The Imperial Army raised the stick in his hand.

The government army drew his own knife.

The sound of the forbidden army "clicking" to load a submachine gun.

Bloodshed is inevitable.
