The Heavenly Fu Emperor appeared from behind the palace, sat on the throne, and looked down.

Gu Chensha found that all the people relaxed when they saw him.

If he doesn't appear, people will definitely be panicked, but now sitting here, everyone has the feeling that they are not afraid of heaven and earth.

"The ministers knock on the emperor!"

The crowd bowed down.

"Get up. Emperor Tianfu stretched out his hand slightly: "Today I urgently convened a court meeting, and you must know what happened." ”

"Your Majesty, the black gas devours the sun, the heavens and the earth are shaken, and the demon star is born. Lou Chongxiao spoke first: "This is a natural disaster, a civil disaster, which needs to be rescued immediately and reassure people's hearts." ”

"Don't worry, I've asked the Heavenly Crafts to go everywhere for disaster relief, repair houses, and rebuild roads, and the disaster of shaking the heavens and the earth is just a small matter. Emperor Tianfu asked: "But when the demon star comes into the world, it will be a hero, but there is something wrong, the sky is not high, the people's hearts are the highest, natural disasters are not disasters, man-made disasters are disasters." Since ancient times, there has been no dynasty whose foundation has been shaken by natural disasters, and only man-made disasters can bring about the collapse of a dynasty. ”

"This time, the minister also saw that thousands of demon stars landed in the world and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and there was no way to investigate the root cause. At this time, Mei Guogong spoke sadly, she looked only in her twenties, wearing a light blue gauze skirt, elegant and plain, with a thin ribbon tied on her forehead, floating out of the dust, not at all like a world-famous Guogong.

This Meiguo Gong was worried about guarding the border pass of the Eastern Wilderness and did not return to the court all year round.

The Eastern Wilderness is full of mountains, although it is not as treacherous as the wilderness, but it is a place where many people from the Immortal Dao Sect live.

The people of several large states near the Eastern Wilderness are strong, there are many martial arts sects, and there are endless characters in the rivers and lakes, but they have all been more or less influenced by immortal figures since ancient times.

In other places, generally speaking, it is enough to open a sect and establish a mortal realm grandmaster. But among the several large states in the Eastern Wilderness, there are many sects and even many Dao realm figures.

Emperor Tianfu asked the Duke of Meiguo to guard the border pass of the Eastern Wilderness, which shows that this woman's cultivation is absolutely unfathomable.

"The Demon Star came into the world because of the change of the Heavenly Dao, which was born from the chaos of the world, and it was also the greatest calamity. Emperor Tianfu said: "There are three calamities and nine tribulations in cultivation, and when you cultivate to a certain extent, there will be natural disasters, earth disasters, and man-made disasters." The same is true for governing the country, when the country is prosperous, the way of heaven will have its own calamities, there is no smooth sailing, as long as the country can withstand the calamities again and again, but it can also be promoted. ”

The emperor's words can be described as a burst of blood. Li Sixuan, the prince of Yiguo, arched his hand: "The so-called is difficult to prosper the country, the country is smooth sailing, there is no catastrophe, the people do not understand that life is not easy, arrogant and lascivious, and in the end it hurts themselves." ”

That being said, this is no small matter. Emperor Tianfu looked at the sky, the sun was still shining, "There will be a lot of things happening among the people, which will disrupt some of the original plans, and I will gather you today to discuss the future situation." ”

"Please also ask the emperor to show me. ”

The three princes, the eight marquis, and the ministers, and many princes all sang in unison.

"Since it's a discussion, it's brainstorming, and this world is not my alone. Emperor Tianfu condescended: "I have always said that I am just a guide, just a teacher, today I want to see what your opinion is?"

"Yes!"

At this time, Fang Lin, the minister of the upper study, spoke: "The minister has a book to play. ”

"Say it. ”

Since Fang Lin was promoted to the minister of the upper study, he has worked diligently, not revealing a drop of water, and his methods are tactful, originally some old ministers looked down on him as a young man, but after a few days, they all felt that this person was the prime minister's talent.

He played it now, and his voice was strong and powerful: "At present, there is a catastrophe in the world, although the imperial court has to contribute to disaster relief, but the minister feels that the seventy-two sects of the Immortal Dao must contribute! The minister has an idea, the imperial court will set up an emergency yamen, recruit people from the Immortal Dao sect, and contribute money and efforts, the Xiandao sect has been quiet for tens of thousands of years, and it is only for the people to ask for it, and the contribution is minimal, and now it is time to repay the debt." They are to be bound by the law of forced servitude. ”

As soon as the three words of the conscription law came out, the ministers present were shocked in their hearts.

Gu Chensha secretly screamed.

The conscription law is that since ancient times, the imperial court has allowed the people to do unpaid labor, and once the conscription is heavy, the people will be miserable. However, in the Tianfu Dynasty, the light punishment was light, and even the forced labor stipulated that the people only dug ditches in their own places and opened up barren mountains, and never forced them to leave their homes.

As for the Immortal Dao, I haven't heard of any dynasty that dares to let them serve as conscripts.

Not even an idea.

Once you enter the immortal path, you will not be subject to secular jurisdiction from now on, which is something that has been recognized by emperors of all dynasties.

Even any emperor with great talent just hopes that the Immortal Dao will not cause trouble.

"This Fang Lin is really bold. Gu Chensha thought secretly: "Aren't you afraid of offending the Immortal Dao if you bring up this matter?" But then again, if the Ancient Seventy-two Sects are really willing to serve the conscription, then the world does not know what it will become, and the Immortal Dao is the former gentry, who did not accept the conscription, did not pay taxes, and the tail was too big. It's going to be rectified. But it's a tough thing to do. ”

"Go on. Emperor Tianfu nodded: "Do you have any other suggestions?"

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the whole world is the imperial court. Fang Lin continued: "Those immortal Dao sects, digging up heavenly and earthly treasures everywhere and keeping them for themselves, are tantamount to digging the wealth of the imperial court, but they also have to pay taxes. ”

Hearing Fang Lin's two suggestions, many ministers in the court looked at me, and I looked at you, thinking about the benefits in their hearts, and they were quite moved.

You must know that the seventy-two sects of the Immortal Dao, which sect is a super large family that has accumulated tens of thousands of years, as long as the roots are pulled out, the treasury can basically be without worrying about financial expenditures for decades, if the ancient seventy-two sects are willing to pay taxes, then as long as it is once, the treasury is afraid that it can do all kinds of big things for thousands of years and is very rich.

Not to mention, the Immortal Dao Sect is not only the Seventy-two Ancient Sects.

The seventy-two sects are the strongest, and the ancient inheritance of the Xuanmen sect recognized by the ancient emperor is authentic. There are also some second- and third-rate immortal sects, which are even more than the carp that crosses the river.

For example, with Lou Baiyue's current cultivation, he can start a sect and develop a second- or third-rate sect of the Immortal Dao.

All the immortal sects pay taxes, which is unimaginable.

However, when this matter is implemented, it will not be so smooth.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Fang Lin's opinion. At this time, the Meiguo Gong Xi sorrowfully played: "The ministers guard the Eastern Wilderness, dealing with many immortal sects, countless immortal sects have no law at all, they see where there are natural treasures, they go to rob them, see where there are outstanding talents, they will directly take them away, there are large mines in several states near the Eastern Wilderness, producing gems and hardware, which were originally the territory of the imperial court, but they have been taken by those sects all year round, and they have been mined out, and in the long run, the world's resources are not taken away by them?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial. "There were dissenting opinions.

"Oh, Uncle Sanjiang, you say. Emperor Tianfu looked down.

The one who issued a different opinion was also an important minister of the court, although he was not as good as the three princes and eight marquis, but he was also famous.

Gu Chensha looked at it, that Sanjiang Bo was a middle-aged man, with white temples and an elegant atmosphere, this person could be named an earl, he must have made great achievements, and he was by no means idle.

The title of the imperial court is very rare, and you can't get it without real skills.

Gu Chensha knew that this person was the power of the Heng family, and in his early years, he was a down-and-out talent among the people, but he was funded by the Heng family, and he actually seized the opportunity of the Emperor Tianfu to change the dynasty, make meritorious contributions, and glorify his ancestors, and he even married a woman from the Heng family as his wife.

"Your Majesty, although you are experiencing a catastrophe right now, it is not difficult to provide disaster relief, and the imperial court can do it, and you don't need to use the Immortal Dao Sect. Sanjiang Bo said: "It's not that the minister disapproves of the matter of Xiandao serving conscription and paying taxes, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, at least when the court is peaceful and barbaric." If the imperial court persecuts the immortal path too tightly, it may backfire. ”

The minister also believes that what Sanjiangbo said is reasonable. ”

This is the words of the old man who seeks the country. ”

Many ministers nodded in agreement.

"Nineteen, worship the moon. Emperor Tianfu looked at the various factions below, silently, and waited for them all to finish, then looked at Gu Chensha and Lou Baiyue: "Last time, I asked you to be responsible for contacting the various things of the Immortal Dao, how did you go?"

"Erchen has let Tianwu Xuanmen, Duobao Xuanmen open a branch in the fiefdom, but now he has a small achievement, but Erchen's cultivation is low, but he has not made much contributions, and he hopes that his father will punish him. Gu Chensha hurriedly said.

"Regarding the matter of the immortal road, the minister has excerpted Chen. Lou Baiyue was confident: "This time the black gas devours the sun, the heaven and the earth are shaken, and the demon star is born, according to the historical data, it is an unprecedented catastrophe, and the crisis is not only for the imperial court, but also for many sects of the Immortal Dao, I think many sects of the Immortal Dao must also show some sincerity and work side by side with the imperial court." The minister felt that the imperial court sent a document first, sent someone to inform the immortal doors, and sent a master to gather with the imperial court. If they are not willing to contribute even to this kind of catastrophe, then their ambition is obvious, and the court will not be stingy with punishment. Another point is that when the ancient emperor was in power, every three years, the Xiandao sect would pay tribute to the imperial court, and now that the emperor has been on the throne for fifteen years, the immortal sect has not come to congratulate him once, which is already a great crime of disrespect. At this time, the imperial court should urge the Immortal Dao sect to do three things, one is to relieve disasters, two to pay taxes, and three to destroy barbarians. And it must be done as soon as possible, without delay. ”

"That's a sentiment too. Emperor Tianfu didn't say anything: "Nineteen, how is the matter of your Baoyu Kingdom Zhao'an?"

"Erchen is ready, and he will go to Baoyu Country in the near future. "Gu Chensha has actually been prepared for a long time, although he has been busy cultivating in the past few months, Yu Hanlu and Long Yuyun are trying their best to plan this matter: "In addition, Erchen has already contacted Haipeng Island, and is also preparing to return to the imperial court together, when the time comes, the three islands of Longjian, Haipeng, and Baoyu will be horns of each other, but they can develop overseas." ”

"Good. Emperor Tianfu said: "I have also read the chapters you wrote, it is indeed a plan and then a move, Yu Hanlu's side has done a good job recently, and the court has its own reward." But you have to hurry up and get this done, I have more important things for you to do. ”
