"I want to propose: from now on, the commercial taxes of all states and ministries will be the same as tea, and the mulberry hemp will rise by one percent!"

Zhao Jichang, the chief eunuch, read out the edict in his hand, but Ma Xisheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair on the side, had a depressed expression and impatience.

The content read by Zhao Jichang was like dripping water in a pan, and it exploded into a sound of discussion, and the court hall that should have been solemn and majestic was noisy like a vegetable market.

Zhao Jichang looked at the chaotic scene, pouted and looked at Ma Xisheng, he was already reminding the king to control the scene, but he didn't know what the king was thinking, so he just watched everyone turn their heads and didn't react.

Seeing this, Zhao Jichang cleared his throat helplessly and said loudly: "Everyone, do you have any objections?" ”

In a word, the commotion subsided, and several ministers immediately stood up one after another and began to oppose it.

"King! It has been 30 years since the first king promulgated the tax law, which only levied tea tax and did not collect commercial tax! Now the first king has changed the tax law in less than a year, but I am afraid that it will not be appropriate! ”

"Yes, my lord! If the tax law is moved, mulberry hemp will be added, I am afraid that it will call the people's livelihood resentment! Please think twice! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Ma Xisheng's face darkened a little, and he glanced at Xu Dexun, the right minister, and Xu Dexun immediately came out of the queue.

"A few adults don't need to panic, the tax law and the people are certainly the foundation of governing the country, but the world of the first king is different from the world of the king, if it remains unchanged, how to fill the treasury and strengthen the army?"

"But ......"

Xu Dexun raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking: "You only see the people's grievances boiling, but you ignore the tigers and wolves around your country? The Jingnan Gao clan is full of strong soldiers, Wu cross-country heart armor soldiers are around, and Fujian Fu Jinghai is eyeing the tiger, if we don't strengthen the army, the country will not be a country, where are the people! ”

Several ministers were stunned until they were speechless for a while, and Ma Xisheng patted the armrest at this time: "Well said!" If the kingdom is gone, where will there be a people? This edict has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it again! Lonely, he must be the king of a strong army! ”

The king was forcibly decided, and the ministers could only retreat silently, and the right minister said again at this time: "The king, the minister has a discussion!" ”

"Speak!" Ma Xisheng straightened up, revealing a sense of anticipation that was completely different from the previous gloom.

"King, King Qi has been missing for more than a month, and there is no trace of him in the three states of soldiers and horses! Although the king insisted on looking for it, the post of Zhennan Jiedu could not be vacant, so please make a decision as soon as possible......"

"Right phase means ......"

"It's better for the king to announce the disappearance of the king of prayer to the world, and appoint someone else as the envoy of the Zhennan Festival to ensure that there is no need to worry about governance......"

The two of them are playing together, singing and harmonizing are getting better, but who knows that Situ Li Duo suddenly rushed out excitedly and stopped loudly: "Don't!" The king is not allowed to announce the disappearance of the king without notice, and he is not allowed to appoint someone else to the post of Zhennan Jiedu! ”

Ma Xisheng looked at Li Duo, frowned dishappily and said, "Why not?" ”

"The king, you and the king of prayer have always been close, the first king is great, you are in charge of the society, and the king is complementary, this is the edict of the first king! If the king of prayer disappeared mysteriously for more than a month, the king announced that the king of prayer was unobserved, and the rule of Zhennan was set to others, but I was afraid that the people's meeting would say that the king would not allow brothers, and he would be unkind and immoral! ”

These few words, mentioning the last order of the king, and mentioning the reputation of the king, made Ma Xisheng speechless—can he say that he doesn't want fame, just to pray for the king's death?

Although Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, he will not say it or admit it to death!

"Tell the truth! Dawang Sheji is the first, who dares to criticize? "The king can't be scared, but Xu Dexun can.

It's just that Li Duo is not worthy of him at all.

"Right Phase! The king's words and deeds are an example for the world and a model for his subjects! If the king follows your words, there will be a lot of discussion among the people, but I am afraid that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan......"

Xu Dexun was about to speak when he heard this, but Li Duo didn't give him a chance at all, and hurriedly said: "Once the people mistakenly think that the king ignores his brother's affection and hurts the king's reputation by speaking foul language, can you afford this result?" ”

This is poisonous enough, which courtier can afford to damage the reputation of the king?

And Li Duo took a step forward and directly gave the tone: "The name of the king is lost, and you and my ministers can't afford to pay for it even if they spill blood with their heads cut off!" After speaking, he turned around and knelt down towards Ma Xisheng: "King! Think again! ”

After Li Duo finished talking and blocked it, what else could Xu Dexun say? He could only shut up.

Ma Xisheng, who was on the throne, looked at Li Duo and only felt like a fish in his throat, and finally slapped the armrest: "The words of the right minister, no!" ”

Ma Xisheng was very angry, and the result of his anger was that he didn't want to stay for even a second, so he got up and walked to the apse, leaving behind the ministers of the palace who were stunned and speechless.

"The court discussion is suspended, retreat!" Zhao Jichang hurriedly sang and immediately chased after him, while General Cheng among the courtiers had a bitter face.

He still has something to report!

Ma Xisheng was very angry, the scene he and the right minister carefully prepared was disturbed by Situ, he didn't want to stay here for a minute longer, he wanted to go to the imperial garden to soothe and soothe his emotions, who knew that when he walked into the corridor, he saw a palace maid holding an incense burner kneeling slowly, and he kicked it unhappily.

This kick kicked the palace maid's heart hard and violently, so painful that the palace maid couldn't help but scream, Ma Xisheng was furious, and scolded while kicking:

"What's it called? Didn't I kick you? Lone is the king, your master! When will it be your turn to put your beak on the side? ”

He sprinkled all his anger on this innocent palace maid, and Zhao Jichang, who was following him, didn't say a word until the palace maid was kicked and fainted, and then stepped forward and pulled Ma Xisheng: "The king is angry!" It's not worth it to be angry! ”

Ma Xi retracted his feet angrily, Zhao Jichang waved his hand, and the guards on the side hurriedly stepped forward to carry the palace maid down.

"These bastards didn't let Lone Pain have a day! No, I'm going to have to go find, find ...... Go and let her give me ideas. ”

Ma Xisheng turned his direction and ran towards the palace of the concubine in the harem, Zhao Jichang frowned slightly, and then followed silently.

Ma Xisheng came unfortunately, Concubine Yuan Defei was offering incense to the Buddha.

Ma Xisheng was not interested in worshiping the Buddha, and he was not good at disturbing his mother's exquisiteness, so he could only look impatiently at the entrance of the Buddha hall.

After a cup of tea, Danqing helped Concubine Yuan De and finally returned to the main hall.

"The king is in charge of the society, and the morning and dusk are not timely, how can I have time to come to see the palace today."

"Mother concubine, don't say such things, Lone is really not happy now!"

Ma Xisheng said casually and picked up the seat next to him and sat down.

Concubine Yuan Defei glanced at him and waved her hand, Danqing beckoned everyone in the Buddhist hall to retreat, and the eunuch Zhao Jichang also withdrew from the hall when he saw this, but he didn't close the door, but stood by the door.

"Say it! Why isn't it exciting? Concubine Yuan Defei sat next to Ma Xisheng.

"It's not the king of prayer!" Mahi looked angry, like a child who had been robbed of a toy.

Concubine Yuan Defei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What should I do?" Isn't he all missing, how can he get in your way? ”
