Increase taxes in Gangnam?!

As soon as I heard his words, my back was like being struck by lightning, I felt numb, and I subconsciously turned around, and Shen Gongyi stood there respectfully, and said earnestly: "A few years ago, I fought with Shengjing for many years, the treasury was empty, and the emperor was kind-hearted, and he issued a decree to exempt half of the taxes in Jiangnan. This recuperation is enough, if the treasury is not replenished, in case of war, I am afraid of the power of the enemy......"

“……”

"This is a joint performance of Weichen and several other ministers, and I hope the emperor will approve it!"

Speaking of this, Shen Gongju knelt down tremblingly, and said bitterly: "I still hope that the emperor will work for the world's ministers, think twice!" ”

As he spoke, there was a child's crisp cry in the room, and the two complemented each other, like an invisible force, pushing people on a path they didn't want to take.

Pei Yuanhao stood in front of him, looked down at him, a little smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he leaned over to help Shen Gongyi up.

"Why does Taifu have to be like this?"

"The Emperor's ......"

"Lord Taifu has really done his best for the subjects of the world, I am deeply grateful, this matter, let it be played by Lord Taifu."

"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Shen Gongyi trembled and knelt down and kowtowed, and the moment he knelt down, a cold wind flashed on Pei Yuanhao's face, and his dark eyes looked at me slightly.

At that moment, I only felt a little uncomfortable in my chest, and immediately turned my head away.

However, many things are not avoided, there is really no zài, even if Pei Yuanhao and Shen Gongju are far behind, but along the way, my mind has been churning countless times with the scene just now, and, Jiangnan, and ...... Originally.

The problem in the south has not been completely solved, but it is not easy to get to this point, but do you have to start all over again?

Although I know that he also has his sufferings, several old ministers jointly signed a fold, plus the concubine just gave birth to a prince for him, of course, I can't refute the face of my father-in-law, but I also have a faint resentment in my heart, Shen Rou has used contraceptive spices for so many years, and is in such an unstable environment, there is still my calculation halfway, plus dystocia, so many obstacles, she actually gave birth to the prince smoothly, and at this time to help Shen Gongyi general the emperor's army.

Is God helping them to apply for the family?

No, I don't believe God is so unfair!

If God's arrangement is really like this, there must be someone who can win the sky!

Thinking of this, I clenched my fists hard, and Chang Qing, who had been walking in front of me, turned around, saw me gritting my teeth, and said, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Huh?" I looked at her and shook my head gently, "No, I didn't think about anything. ”

The corners of Chang Qing's mouth hooked slightly, turned his head and continued to walk forward, and said as he walked: "The affairs of the south are not so simple. Three years ago it was -- now, I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of thought again. ”

Three years ago?

I immediately understood that she was referring to three years ago, Pei Yuanhao had appointed Huang Tianba to govern Jiangnan, and it was also because of his outstanding governance that there had been no chaos in the south over the years, but later, Huang Tianba was trapped in Shengjing, and it was Wei Ningyuan who succeeded him, Wei Ningyuan's qualifications were shallow, and he was not as deep as Huang Tianba's power in Jiangnan, and it was not easy to keep these years.

I said softly: "Could it be that after so many years, there is still no minister in the DPRK and China who is willing to speak for the south?" ”

Chang Qing glanced at me and didn't speak.

I also understand that her identity and status cannot be arbitrarily discussed about the government, and she has never forgotten this. Moreover, the situation in the court is like this now, and the crown prince of the three princes, the Taibao King, has already fallen; And Taishi - I looked at Chang Qing, since Chang Qing died in Dongzhou, Taishi lost his arm, and he had already retired, it was Empress Yin who asked him to return to the court, his ambition is no longer the same, his daughter has become a queen who is not salty or light, so what else can he do?

But the Shen family is different, Shen Gongyun has always been ambitious, starting from the beginning of the heir to support Pei Yuanhao, step by step, now Shen Rou is calling for wind and rain in the harem, and gave birth to a dragon son, he has cultivated party henchmen in the court over the years, and now there is no one to compete with him in the court.

Other old ministers, corpses vegetarian meals, the more this is the case, the more difficult the situation is.

Of course, Pei Yuanhao has not thought of countermeasures for this situation, and the opening of Enke in the south was to inject fresh blood into the DPRK, and I heard that there have indeed been a group of young officials in the DPRK and China over the years, who have courage and courage, and are eager to show their strength.

But these people often lack qualifications, and it is said that the fastest promotion is the current household servant Huo Liancheng, who is also under the fourth grade.

The old and new forces in the DPRK cannot be said to be the same at all, unless, unless there is one man, a man of sufficient weight, to lead the new forces.

However, where did such a person come from, whose identity could be comparable to that of the emperor's relatives and relatives, who had political vision and ambition, and who could also sincerely do things for the south?

Unless, it's Liu Yi's rebirth.

Thinking of this, my throat suddenly choked, and an indescribable pain surged up from the deepest part of my heart, Chang Qing glanced back at me, and immediately said, "What's wrong with you?" The face is so ugly. ”

I bit my lower lip and shook my head gently, Chang Qing stopped to look at me, and after a long while, he didn't say anything, just sighed softly and turned away.

I didn't follow, but walked aimlessly for a while, and the scorching sun made me dizzy, and there was a willow shade by the lake, and there was a large flat stone underneath, so I went over and sat down, and blew the wind to cool down.

From where I was sitting, there was a small bridge that led to the Chonghua Hall.

After sitting for a while, I saw the ladies and ladies of each palace leading the palace maids and eunuchs, walking over in an endless stream with congratulatory gifts.

In contrast, the Yuhua Hall at the other end is not so full of flowers.

This is the harem, the most realistic and prosperous, but also the most ruthless and ruthless place, I look at it now, as if I am watching the joys and sorrows above under the stage, I just feel as far away as a different world.

It's just that I still have a wisp of soul that I haven't taken back from my previous life.

I don't know how long I sat here, but when I came back to my senses, my face was cold, I sighed, and I was about to stand up by holding on to the stone, but after sitting for a long time, my feet were numb, and I stumbled and fell to the side.

"Ah......h

I exclaimed, and hurriedly grabbed the trunk of the tree to stabilize my body, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I was held by another large, warm and powerful hand.

Finally standing firm, I exhaled and was about to thank you, but when I turned my head, my heart jumped hard.

Those dark eyes were looking at me steadily.

I couldn't react at all for a while, I don't know how long he stayed behind me, what he saw, and hurriedly pulled his hand back, but his hand showed no sign of letting go, I shrank vigorously several times, and finally whispered: "Let go." ”

He didn't let go, just spoke, and his voice was low and hoarse: "What are you thinking?" ”

“……”

"Nothing, please let go." As I spoke, I twitched harder, but he tightened his grip harder, and my slender hand was clenched by him, revealing only a little thin fingertip, which was a little pale.

But he didn't seem to feel it at all, just looked at my eyes intently, as if he wanted to see through it: "I asked you, what were you thinking just now." ”

“……”

"Thinking about that kid?"

“……”

"You still can't forget?"

“……”

I bit my lower lip so hard that it almost bled out, but no matter how much I struggled, he never let go of my hand, and the force gave me the illusion that it would shatter at any moment, and I finally said, "You let go of me." ”

“……”

"It hurts."

“……”

He looked at me, and finally slowly let go of me, and there were already a few bruises left on my hands, I withdrew my hand, and gently greeted him, and was about to turn away, but I heard him say, "Qingying." ”

“……”

"You, sit with me for a while."

“……”

I froze and turned to look at him.

He stood by the lake with his hands behind his back, the low-hanging willow fluttering in front of his eyes, and under the layers of shade, I seemed to be able to see some untouchable cracks in those eyes that looked dark.

He...... It's not invulnerable, he has been in business for so many years in the south, but now he is being forced by Shen Gong step by step, if this continues, maybe the previous efforts will come to naught, but there is no one around him who can take on a big responsibility, the only Huang Tianba - has been calculated and fallen to Shengjing......

As soon as I thought of Huang Tianba, I wanted to turn around and leave, but as soon as I took a step, I heard a very soft sigh behind me.

……

I bit my lower lip again, and this time I tasted the salty smell of blood on the tip of my tongue, and I turned around, walked over to him, and sat down silently.

He didn't sit down, just looked at the lake with his hands behind his back.

The two of them just sat and stood quietly, as if who had nothing to do with anyone, the wetness on the face was quickly dried by the wind, like those scars that I can't forget, after a long time, others seemed as if they had not saved zài, only I knew, my cheeks were a little painful.

After a long time, he still stood still, I thought about it, and said softly: "The emperor really wants to increase the taxes in Jiangnan?" ”

“…… Well. ”

I fell silent as he glanced back at me, "For now. ”

I said softly: "The injustice in the south will eventually be a great disaster." ”

"I know."

“……”

"But it is not easy for Wei Ningyuan to hold on until now, and if he wants to move the south again, it will be easy to cause chaos."

Indeed, if you move the south now, you will break your muscles and bones, and the situation on Shengjing's side has been unclear in the past two years, and it is still unclear what Luosh's attitude is towards this side, and he does not dare to make any moves.

I thought about it for a while and said, "Why doesn't the emperor try to treat the symptoms?" ”

He raised an eyebrow and turned to look at me.
