The doctors probed the pulse every other hour, and every time they had to sigh for a long time, she turned a deaf ear, but she did her best to do what she could.

Fortunately, the eldest princess is fine.

Jiang Fuguang's face was pale, turned her head, Yingluo was red with tears in her eyes, her face was full of excitement and joy, her eyes were red and swollen, her eyes were blue and black, and her face was very haggard, showing that she had been taking care of her sleeplessly for the past few days.

Yingluo is fine.

So the rest of the Eldest Princess's Mansion ......

The imperial doctors hurriedly came over, knelt in front of the couch, took turns to check the pulse of the eldest princess, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "The eldest princess has been out of danger, and in the future, you must avoid exertion, worry, sorrow and joy, and have a good body." ”

The imperial doctors went down to discuss the prescription for the eldest princess.

Yingluo wiped away her tears and hurriedly fed the eldest princess medicine.

Jiang Fuguang's throat was dry and sore, he opened his mouth, didn't make a sound, and squeezed his throat hard before he barely made a hoarse sound, as if sandpaper had been grinded.

"What happened?"

Yingluo was a little uneasy, coveted the eldest princess, and said the news in the palace in the past few days, including the news of King Rongjun who turned black and white upside down.

“…… Early this morning, the palace door opened, Gu Xiang led the minister into the palace, read out His Majesty's edict in public, and established the king of Rongjun as the heir to the throne designated by the emperor. ”

Jiang Fuguang's face was calm, General Bai Lao was a veteran minister, who had experienced three dynasties, not only on par with his grandfather, but also a subordinate of the East Palace, the crown prince.

When His Majesty did not appoint a prince, the vassals of the East Palace were only a nominal name, and once the prince was established, General Bai Lao would be able to support the future king logically.

General Huwei is the commander of the forbidden army, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, except for his grandfather, the most trusted person of His Majesty is him.

With these two people among the generals, and the support of Gu Xiang, the head of the civil ministers, no one will suspect that the edict of succession is fake.

Seeing that the eldest princess was not happy or angry, Yingluo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so she continued: "There are many loyal Your Majesty and your ministers in the court, who suspect that the edict is fake, especially the Imperial Historical Tower, headed by Dr. Liu, who asked to meet the eldest princess to verify the authenticity of the edict. ”

Doctor Liu just didn't say clearly, who His Majesty has appointed as the prince, others say it doesn't count, it doesn't matter if the eldest princess says it.

What is even more shocking is that more than half of the ministers in the DPRK actually agreed with Dr. Liu's words.

The prestige of General Bai Lao and General Huwei is not worth the eldest princess's words.

It really caught the King of Rongjun unexpectedly.

Jiang Fuguang's eyes deepened, and he was a little surprised: "It's no wonder!" ”

The official is not guilty of admonishment, and Dr. Liu, as the imperial doctor, is one of the three dukes, and the right to speak in the court is not under Gu Xiang.

Many people ignore Dr. Liu's contribution to the imperial court because he is a speech official.

When His Majesty first ascended the throne, the treasury was empty, but the country was used in a huge amount, and it was Dr. Liu who took the lead, withstood the pressure of the family, including Gu Xiang, and the old lords, and united with the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory to play the banner of rectifying the rule of officials, helping His Majesty to eliminate a large number of old xun parties, rectify a lot of corruption, confiscate a large amount of stolen silver, and fill the treasury, so that the crumbling country can operate.

Doctor Liu also admonished His Majesty: "The first emperor taxed the people harshly, and every time the imperial court levied one tael of silver, he forced ten people to rebel, so riots broke out frequently in various places, and ten people had to use hundreds of taels of silver to suppress them, so what about a hundred, a thousand, or even a hundred thousand, a million?" ”

"Your Majesty can follow suit, Sang Hongyang's suggestion to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, issued a decree of calculation (min, people) and a decree of sueping, stipulating that merchants should self-report their assets, and pay taxes according to assets, according to the value of things, and those who conceal and fail to report, once investigated, confiscate all family property, and whoever exposes it, will be rewarded with half of the confiscated property."

"In the past dynasties, only the people rebelled, I have not heard of any businessmen rebelling, farming is only ten times the profit, if it is exploited, even unable to make ends meet, not enough to eat, but business has a hundred times the profit, even ten million times the profit, is the real vested profit."

"However, everyone has to eat grain, regardless of whether it is a farmer or a businessman, everyone has to rely on the people to grow grain, without food, there will be famine, and if there is famine, there will be rebellion, and the wealth of the merchants is based on the blood and sweat of the people, as well as the convenience of doing business given by the imperial court, and it is natural to increase taxes, suffer merchants, and rejuvenate the people, which is eternal and unchanging."

Doing business is easier than farming, everyone does business, no one farms, where does the food come from?

"Your Majesty knows that Your Majesty is merciful and can't bear to pay harsh taxes on merchants, Your Majesty may wish to provide more convenience to merchants in commerce and trade, they have a wide range of ways to make money, and if they are willing to pay business taxes, it can also reflect Your Majesty's benevolence."

Although the courtiers complained about this action, it was not difficult to implement it because it did not specifically involve the fundamental interests of the clan gentry.

Later, the Northern Dynasty and South Vietnam connected to invade the border, and the imperial court had the money to invest in the war, defend the country and protect the frontier, and sought peace for the Southern Dynasty for 16 years, which led to the "prosperous and prosperous era" under the rule of his father.

However, due to these two wars, the treasury was completely empty, and the financial problem was still not resolved.

During the period of the first emperor, the land and acres were seriously annexed by the gentry, and the clan relatives and gentry had the privilege of exemption and tax reduction, such as 10,000 mu of land exemption for a large person, and the following decreased, and some clan relatives even enjoyed tax exemption, so the clan relatives and gentry concealed the number of acres of land, and the land in the hands of the people was very small, which led to the imperial court having no tax to collect.

His Majesty wanted to re-measure the land, which undoubtedly moved the interests of all the clan gentry, and it was also Dr. Liu who withstood the pressure and let this move be carried out smoothly.

It is true that His Majesty governs the world with benevolence and virtue, but every political move is inseparable from the Yushitai headed by Dr. Liu, who bears the brunt and promotes it.

Jiang Fuguang leaned on the pillow: "The Liyan faction was arrested for participating in Jiang Jingzhang's rebellion against the palace, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be punished for betraying the party. ”

In addition, Taiwei Qi is the head of the military attachés, and most of the military attaches in the court are the head of the Taiwei Mansion, and the King of Rongjun has attracted General Huwei and General Bai Lao, but these two people only represent the imperial city, and some soldiers and horses in the military camp, it is true that his grandfather died in battle, as long as the Taiwei Mansion does not fall, the generals will not easily switch.

Yingluo continued, "...... Gu Xiang ordered Zhang Dequan, Tai Shiling, and the craftsmen in the palace who were responsible for making the holy decree to the main hall, verified that the holy decree was not false, and took out the edict after the abolition of the first emperor. ”

"General Huwei, General Bai Lao and other veteran ministers of the court invited the edict of Empress Chengxian to confirm that King Rongjun is the youngest son of Emperor Xianzong and is currently the most qualified heir to the throne, so the courtiers have temporarily dispelled their suspicions."
