Bai Mengyan was a little angry.

If you say that the Tian Yuan Great Dan and the Earth Yuan Great Dan are extremely difficult to refine, they have no right to call it.

However, the elixir of Renyuan Dan is not difficult to refine, and every year the imperial court basically has sufficient supplies and surpluses, but it still refuses her.

She felt provoked.

Although she quietly left the palace, she was not removed from the royal family, nor was she driven out, her identity is still there, and anyone dares to ignore it?

Xiu's fists were clenched, her eyebrows frowned slightly, she glanced coldly at the secret guard and asked again, "What about the exercise cheats?" How much did you get? ”

"The subordinates can only choose two exercises that are on the upper side, as for the martial arts, fists, palms, knives, swords, and body methods, but they are all incomplete exercises, and they are not allowed to be copied by their subordinates."

Hearing this, the anger in Bai Mengyan's heart couldn't help but explode anymore: "It's really good, do those people really think that this palace is not a princess if it leaves the palace?" ”

On the side, Yue'er saw that her master was so angry, and her little face was cold, and her mouth was full of anger.

As for the dark guard, he lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"This maybe... It has something to do with the recent capital side! ”

Hearing her words, Bai Mengyan suppressed her anger and asked, "Let's talk about the news from over there, is there a letter from the concubine?" ”

The dark guard nodded and thought for a moment before speaking.

"My subordinates learned from the news from the capital that some time ago, His Majesty was in the early dynasty, and the ministers mentioned the matter of establishing a prince again, but this time His Majesty did not refuse."

Hearing the news, Bai Mengyan's eyes lit up, she stood up and asked, "Your Majesty has decided to make a prince?" Is it the Great Prince? ”

The dark guard shook his head: "No, although Your Majesty did not refuse, he did not directly establish the crown prince!" ”

"Your Majesty has raised several of the major problems facing the court today, and has made a promise that whoever can complete one of these things will pass the throne to whomever he can accomplish!"

Hearing that it was not the crown prince, Bai Mengyan was a little disappointed, after all, she really didn't want her fourth prince's brother to become the crown prince, it was not glory but the way to die.

But when she heard the dark guard's words, she became interested again: "What's the problem?" ”

"The first scourge of the demons! The demon barbarians in the north and south are not too peaceful now, and if they can inflict heavy damage on the demons and barbarians in either side of the north and the south and destroy one of the other party's tribes, they will be deemed to have passed the assessment.

The second is the Western Regions Wuguo, which has been stable for more than a hundred years, and is ready to move, first sent an envoy into Chang'an to ask His Majesty to intermarry with each other, and named the nine princesses to marry the prince of Wuguo, and the emperor will also talk about his favorite daughter and the prince of the dynasty to marry. ”

Giggle——!

Hearing the second question, Bai Mengyan clenched her teeth, her face showed a touch of anger, and she asked coldly, "What did my father say?" ”

"Your Majesty refused, saying that the princess already had a marriage contract, and after the envoy returned to China, there were soldiers and horses of the Wu Kingdom pretending to be bandits and repeatedly attacking the border people, and the second problem was to solve the bandits and counterattack the Wu Kingdom to occupy the Black Dragon City of the Wu Kingdom, and even destroy the Wu Kingdom."

Vermilion Bird Wei said, but the three people present couldn't help but shake their heads secretly at the same time, although the territory and strength of the Martial Kingdom are far inferior to Great Xia, how can it be so easy to destroy it?

Since the Han Dynasty, whenever the king of the Central Plains changes, some of the princes and ministers who were loyal to the previous dynasty, as well as some of the remnants of the new dynasty, will flee to the Western Regions.

One or two thousand years passed, and gradually the Western Regions were occupied by those Central Plains clans, and then a kingdom was established, and a country was established where the Hu and Han people were integrated.

In fact, all dynasties wanted to destroy the martial kingdom and unify the world, but they all gave up in the end.

It's not that there is no such strength, but there are more considerations.

There are two boundary mountains in the west of Wuguo, and the demons are rampant on the other side of the mountain, which is the same as the demons in the north and south, and the southwest and north are also bordering the demons in the north and south, and are often harassed by the demons.

Their presence can relieve the pressure of Great Xia to a certain extent, and if it is unified, Great Xia will have to face all the pressures.

This is also the reason why they don't want to destroy the Wu Kingdom, and only with their containment can they develop their own strength.

The demon clans outside the Two Realms Mountain are stronger than the northern and southern demon tribes, most of them are pure-blooded demon clans, unlike the north and south, for the time being, many pure demon clans are in dormancy, and now most of them are barbarian tribes with mixed blood of some people and demons, which are much easier to deal with.

So this test is almost impossible for everyone to complete, at most it is just a counterattack and a little lesson to the other party.

Hasn't it been the case for so many years?

The Kingdom of Wu and Great Xia, or the Kingdom of the Western Regions and the Central Plains Dynasty, have never been at peace for thousands of years, and the fighting has never stopped, but they have never launched a national war.

Only when there is a change of Wang Chao on both sides will they take advantage of this to occupy more territory of the other party, but in the end they will return it under the exchange of interests.

"It's almost impossible to accomplish, what's the third test?"

Bai Mengyan shook her head and asked.

"The third test is domestic, such as today, although it is recovering, but the resources are scarce, the treasury is empty, in the past heyday the treasury annual tax revenue of 10 million taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, and millions of spirit beans, but these years the tax revenue is getting less and less.

According to the tax reports from all over the country some time ago, this year's tax revenue has fallen by fifty percent, and His Majesty is furious, so there is this third test, that is, the silver in the treasury will return to its peak within three years, but it will not be able to oppress and exploit the lower classes, and the gold and silver in the treasury will be doubled within five years, and the test will be passed. ”

This third test is even more impossible to complete, Bai Mengyan shook her head, after she left the palace, she went all the way south Although she didn't know the people's livelihood in the world, she still knew something.

Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, the people are also miserable, it is impossible to increase taxes in the sky, the only way is to raise taxes, but not the people's taxes

What if it is just added to those sect families, or powerful landlords? Aren't they exploiting the common people yet?

This kind of thing has not happened before, and it can only be done to those sect families from the root, but how can it be so easy?

The reason why the tax revenue is low is actually rooted in those sect families, because most of them have been looted and embezzled.

Therefore, the fourth one can only be solved from the officialdom.

"The fourth is to purge the official system and strictly investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials!"

The dark guard continued, but in Bai Mengyan's opinion, it was still difficult to do.

Officials protect each other, and whoever is sent to do it may not be able to succeed, and the involvement is not so easy to solve, and if the prince goes, it is more likely to use this to form a gang.

"The fifth is the rivers and lakes, in recent years, there have been many major murders on the rivers and lakes, the people complain, the people in the rivers and lakes do not obey the king's law, and violate the ban by force, if the rivers and lakes can be rectified for the use of the imperial court, it can be regarded as completing the assessment, especially the sect forces, some have touched the bottom line of the imperial court, just take this opportunity to rectify it."

After speaking, the dark guard looked at Bai Mengyan and did not speak again, Bai Mengyan showed a contemplative look, and finally asked.

"Fourth brother, which one did he choose?"

"Your Highness... The last one was chosen! ”
