Lan Bin looked at Chang Mao and said deliberately, "Cousin, you know the emperor's temper. Once the emperor is angered, it is possible not to say that it is to cut the lord, or to destroy the family."

Chang Mao's face changed, he was not afraid of raiding his family and exterminating the clan or something.

Not to mention that his brother-in-law is Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the dynasty, but his father, King Kaiping, Chang Yuchun, even if he has passed away, he still has a little thin face.

Even if he angers the emperor, as long as he does not rebel, it will not be serious enough to be exterminated.

But this is not necessarily the case.

The title is rewarded by the emperor, and since it can be rewarded, it can be taken back.

Especially when the emperor was angry, he was so determined that even his brother-in-law Zhu Biao might not be able to stop him.

Thinking about it, he muttered, "Cousin, I wrote it down, I know what to do!"

"Well, eldest cousin, no matter who you are in the future, you must show your support for the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes, and don't say something against it to make the emperor suspicious!" Lan Bin nodded and admonished.

Chang Mao's face changed again, and he said cautiously, "Cousin, what will happen if you say that you oppose the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes?"

"Big cousin, what did you say?" Lan Bin's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said.

He knew that the brocade guards of the imperial court were everywhere, and they also recorded the words and deeds of the important ministers and nobles of the imperial court all the time.

And these are all important references for Zhu Yuanzhang to see people.

Don't look at Zhu Yuanzhang's usual actions and deeds that are not punished because of Jinyiwei's surveillance, but they are all recorded, not being punished does not mean that it is okay, but it is not yet time to punish the crime.

When the time comes, the words and deeds recorded by those Jinyiwei will all become black history.

Chang Mao was a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't say anything, just complained a few words."

"Cousin, really just complained a few words? This is a big deal, and you can't hide it in the slightest, otherwise something will happen and you'll be in trouble!" Lan Bin raised his eyebrows, stared at Chang Mao, and said solemnly.

Chang Mao looked at Lan Bin, he didn't want to say more, but for some reason, he always felt that Lan Bin's eyes could see through his heart, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "I also contacted my father-in-law, Feng Sheng, Song Guogong, Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng, Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing and other nobles, and planned to write together to oppose the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes."

Lan Bin's face turned green, he didn't expect Chang Mao to privately contact Feng Sheng, Lu Zhongheng and other nobles, and write a letter to oppose the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes. Let's not talk about the final result, just the matter of the private connection between the nobles can take root in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of the nobles sitting on the throne, and he also used various means to reduce the military power of the nobles.

Even in order to reduce the military power of the nobles, even his sons were divided and gradually replaced the nobles to lead the troops.

And Chang Mao actually contacted Feng Sheng and others privately, isn't this giving Zhu Yuanzhang eye medicine?

Thinking about it, he hated it a little and said, "Big cousin, how can you do this? Do you know that the emperor is the most taboo for the nobles to hold together, and you dare to contact Song Guogong and them privately?".

"Aren't you afraid that others will say that you have bad intentions?"

"No... No, we didn't do anything, we were just dissatisfied with the imperial court's reformulation of the commercial tax rate..."Chang Mao was startled and said hurriedly.

Lan Bin said angrily: "Will it be, you don't say it, the emperor has the final say." If the emperor really thinks that you are planning wrong, then what will you do?"

"This..."

Chang Mao was choked, the emperor was already suspicious, if the emperor mistakenly thought that he and others were in private contact in order to plot misdeeds, then the consequences...

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but shudder: "Cousin, what now? We really don't have any bad intentions!"

"It's useless for me to believe you, it depends on whether the emperor believes you or not!"

Lan Bin said again: "Big cousin, tell me honestly, did you write to the emperor together?"

"Not yet!" Chang Mao shook his head: "I originally planned to publish the book in two days, but I didn't expect your Daming Daily to be published today, and the daily newspaper is full of articles supporting commercial taxation. We don't know if it was ordered by the emperor..."

Lan Bin suddenly realized, and interrupted: "So you came to me today just to find out the emperor's thoughts, and then consider whether to go to the book?"

"Actually, I'm a little hesitant to go to school!" Chang Mao smiled bitterly.

Lan Bin breathed a sigh of relief, but said angrily, "Do you need to hesitate? Of course, you can't go to the book, and not only can't you go to the book, but you have to go to the emperor to ask for guilt!"

Originally, Chang Mao was a relative of the emperor and should have advanced and retreated with the royal family, but in the matter of the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes, he stood on the opposite side of Zhu Yuanzhang for a little profit.

What does Zhu Yuanzhang think of such a backstabbing move?

Maybe in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Chang Mao's backstab itself is more serious than opposing commercial taxes.

If you don't find a way to pull out this thorn in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, even if Chang Mao retreats from the matter of opposing commercial taxes, I am afraid that he will not have a good life in the future.

"Please?" Chang Mao frowned.
