Chapter 226: Haoyuan ascends the throne and the disciples evacuate
At the end of March, Haoyuan ascended the throne as scheduled, followed by Lan Zhenxiu, Jin Xiaolan and Chang Ran, and urgently withdrew to Xuancang.
The new emperor of Haoyuan ascended the throne with three fires, each of which burned the female emperor god cult, vowing to make this sect completely disappear in the territory of Emperor Heng, and launched a carpet search and arrest operation.
This search and arrest operation directly endangered the safety of Lan Zhenxiu and them, and Jin Xiaolan was injured when they withdrew.
With my blood talisman to recuperate, Jin Xiaolan's injuries recovered quickly, and when they all returned to the palace, I asked with concern, only to know that the knife wound on his arm was to protect Chang Zhan. I didn't expect Jin Xiaolan to be so interested in Chang Dye.
After getting the time, Chang Dye came, and Chang Dye told the whole process.
Haoyuan ascended the throne, and the people of Diheng were not particularly concerned, what the people cared about was whether the tax could be reduced, and the answer was that it could not be reduced, but it was increased.
The reason for the tax increase is inseparable from the Yan family. The Yan family engaged in monopoly behind the scenes, and did not accept cash tickets, only gold and silver, which led to a serious outflow of gold and silver from Diheng. And because the owners of the major merchants knew that the Yan family was doing this, they also had a tacit understanding that they began not to collect cash tickets, but only gold and silver, resulting in the gold and silver that did not lose out of Diheng were stored in the private sector.
Di Heng is different from Xuan Cang, Xuan Cang is a very rogue royal family who does business by himself to collect money, and Di Heng's palace does not do business, so once the gold and silver are lost, it is extremely difficult for them to make up for it, especially at the beginning when the gold and silver flowed, Hao Yuan was busy usurping the throne, and later he was busy catching Hao Yu all over the world.
Why? Because it can be said that there is only one business in the palace of Emperor Heng, which is Qianzhuang.
The gold and silver in the money bank have been redeemed, but only the silver tickets are left, and without the support of gold and silver, the silver tickets will soon become waste paper.
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Haoyuan still has a way - raise taxes, only collect gold and silver, and recycle the gold and silver of the people into the treasury. This tax is collected for at least one year, and the land rent tax is directly collected from ten years.
But what is solved here is only the gold and silver of the people of Diheng to be handed over to the treasury, and the gold and silver that are really traded flow into Xuancang, and Haoyuan has no specific way to deal with it. He couldn't prohibit merchants from doing business, nor could he prohibit buying and selling, and then he felt that he had to solve another problemβthe Cult of God.
In one go, they killed Jin Xiaolan and their more than 400 temporary missionary disciple camps, chased and killed Lan Zhenxiu and Jin Xiaolan all the way, and issued a wanted warrant, seeing that they were about to be caught up, Chang Ran and a group of disciples were originally going to protect Jin Xiaolan, but Jin Xiaolan led more people back to save Chang Ran, and under the fight of one and two, Jin Xiaolan blocked a knife for Chang Ran.
I was very happy when I finished blocking it, and said to Changran with a crazy smile: "My brother said that he loves you the most, do you believe it now?" Believe it or not??? β
"......" I looked at Yan Yu, and Yan Yu said to Chang Ran: "This time you are going to Di Heng to take risks, it is really not what Your Majesty wants, now that you have come back safely, just rest for a while, I have sent someone to take care of the spring cultivation affairs of the Sagittarius Palace, you don't need to worry." β
Chang Ran immediately ran to Yan Yu and shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, I'm fine, of course I still have to do the things in my palace." As for going to Diheng, I had to follow Jin Xiaolan, and His Majesty was not allowed to do so...... They all blame me, and they don't ask Your Majesty to agree, and this risk is also my own doing. β
Seeing that Changran didn't have any complaints, I patted the chair next to me and said, "Changran, come and sit." Brother Yan, sit down too. β
Two men with a degree of beauty comparable to that of a heavenly immortal sat on either side of me, and Chang Ran still wrung his sleeves and couldn't let go, I smiled and asked, "I see you have something on your mind, do you want to tell me?" β
Chang Ran was entangled for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, that Jin Xiaolan seems to be really loyal to Your Majesty." β
I didn't doubt that anymore, and I nodded, "It's thanks to you that I can see his loyalty." How? Do you want to help him get a reward? β
Chang Ran shook his head again and again and said: "Chang Ran doesn't dare, he came back before the matter was done, how dare I help him ask for a reward." β
Yan Yu said softly: "The situation of Emperor Heng is changing rapidly, you should be rewarded if you deal with it properly and be able to retreat with your whole body." Say whatever you want, you don't have to be restricted, and there are no outsiders here. β
"That'...... That long dye has a request, please ask His Majesty and the prince to call the shots. "Oh yes, the long dye finally said it.
I laughed and said, "When have I ever been stingy with you?" Whatever you want, you say. β
A blush floated on Chang Ran's face and said, "Your Majesty treats Chang Ran very well, Chang Ran understands." Then, now, since Jin Xiaolan is loyal to His Majesty, Chang Ran is also loyal to His Majesty, then Jin Xiaolan is ...... to Chang Dye Fabulous...... I want to ...... when I dye it Want to ......"
I frowned and said for him, "Do you want me to give you to him?!" β
It may be that my voice is too high, Chang Ran was startled, and his phoenix eyes widened a little in horror: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... I, I know I can't think so, I'm His Majesty's man......"
I rolled my eyes at the sky, "What are you my person, I told you eight hundred times that I have no interest in opening a harem!" I was surprised because you actually liked Jin Xiaolan?! β
Chang Ran's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and said, "I...... I didn't expect ...... either."
Yan Yu couldn't listen anymore, so he stood up and said solemnly: "Chang Ran, have you thought clearly?" β
Chang Ran immediately got up and nodded vigorously to Yan Yu and said, "Chang Ran has thought clearly!" Ask for the king's permission! β
Such a decisive answer made Yan Yu stunned, and Yan Yu's peach eyes widened slightly, as if he was speechless and a little puzzled.
I simply stood up and said to Chang Ran: "Look, if you are consensual, I have no reason not to be allowed, and Brother Yan is not allowed to be unreasonable." But long dye, I will return to me, I can't give you a marriage! β
This time, I was stunned for a long dye of my hair, and I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, and said, "Oh no, no." Your Majesty, that's not what long dyes meant. Chang Dye said, please Your Majesty and the prince allow Chang Ran to move around with him more often. β
I looked up at Yan Yu with a question mark on my head and said, "Do you still need the two of us to agree to this kind of thing?" They come and go whenever they want, don't they? β
Yan Yu bowed his head and said: "I also think that this child is asking you to give marriage, which startles me." β
"That's right." I nodded, turned to look at Chang Ran and said, "It's your business how you two get along, you don't need us to agree." β
Chang Ran suddenly panicked, and said at a loss: "But, but...... Ah, in short, if Jin Xiaolan has any bad words and deeds, I will definitely report it, and I will never collude with him, Changran is loyal to His Majesty and the prince! β
Oh, I looked at the domain of words, and I had a tacit understanding with him.
Speaking of which, Chang Ran felt that his affair with Jin Xiaolan might affect my judgment of his loyalty, so he simply told us and asked us to allow him, so that he would be justified and have no worries.
I walked in and poked Chang Ran's arm and said, "You kid has a lot of flowers, you are secretly asking for a purpose, you want to fall in love with the order?" β
The long dye blushing was about to see the peach blossom pattern, and while holding my arm and laughing, he said, "Your Majesty, just nod!" You nodded before you dared to go to him! β
I deliberately said with a cold face: "Why didn't he come to beg me, why did you come?" He has a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, doesn't he? β
Chang Dye shook his hair like a rattle and said: "No, no, no, Your Majesty misunderstood, he is that person, he is too crazy, I am afraid that he will collide with Your Majesty, so I will stop him and say that I come, Your Majesty likes me, if I come to beg, Your Majesty may be able to agree!" β
Hehe, is this something that you might be able to promise? I don't have any reason to object to this, right--|||
