Chu Xiu made a rough estimate, if he wanted to use the Yin Spirit to speed up and break through to the Shaking Earth Realm, he would need at least a few million pieces of silver, which was simply astronomical for Chu Xiu, and he couldn't get it at all.

"This!"

"Where am I going to get that much money? I can't even grab it. ”

Chu Xiu sighed, sure enough, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, not to mention that Chu Xiu is still short of so much money now, he really has no place to get it, so he can only give up accelerating for the time being.

"Alas, let's take a rest first, I'm really too tired these days, and I have to go to court early tomorrow morning, and I guess there are still a lot of things to deal with."

Chu Xiu didn't think much about it, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep deeply, until the next morning, before sunrise, Chu Xiu slowly woke up, got up and washed a little, and hurriedly prepared his court clothes, and after changing clothes, he was ready to go directly to the palace.

"Whew!"

"I wonder what kind of arrangement the emperor will make?"

Chu Xiu came to the gate of the palace to instruct, and found that this place was already overcrowded, and many ministers who participated in the court were waiting here silently, and when the time came, they would unify and enter.

Chu Xiu looked at the team of ministers in front of him, didn't say anything, and silently found a corner to stand.

He was not familiar with these ministers, many of them did not know each other, and they couldn't speak, so they just waited silently by the side.

Just when Chu Xiu was silently thinking about what to do next, Wang Wenzhao also saw Chu Xiu in the crowd, he frowned indifferently, and then walked in front of Chu Xiu with a fierce attitude, and asked in a fierce voice.

"Chu Xiu, you are so bold!"

"Who asked you to come, and what qualifications do you have to come here? What official position are you?! ”

Wang Wenzhao's quick reprimand attracted the attention of the vast majority of people, and everyone's eyes were locked on Chu Xiu.

"Isn't this the champion appointed by His Majesty?"

"I heard that he doesn't have any official position now, so he has a second-grade false title, why did he come here, does he also want to go to court?"

"This Chu Xiu should be unqualified! Who the hell asked him to come? ”

Hearing that the vast majority of people agreed with his doubts, Wang Wenzhao's voice became sharper.

"Chu Xiu doesn't hurry up and get out of here now, this is not the place where you can come."

"A military general with a second-rank false title actually wants to participate in the court meeting?"

"Phew! Do you have what it takes? ”

Chu Xiu looked at Wang Wenzhao jumping up and down, not only did he not have any anger, but on the contrary, he looked at Wang Wenzhao pitifully.

He knew very well that this Wang Wenzhao was just instructed by Ji Chunshen to deliberately make things difficult for Chu Xiu, and it was really unnecessary to be angry with this kind of dog, not to mention, whether Chu Xiu was qualified or not was not up to him.

Chu Xiu looked at Wang Wenzhao with a mocking face, and replied with a sneer.

"Whether I am qualified or not, isn't it Your Majesty's decision?"

Wang Wenzhao also sneered.

"Your Majesty? Are you worthy to see Your Majesty? ”

Chu Xiu suddenly laughed, it seems that this Wang Wenzhao is not very well-informed, he didn't know about Chu Xiu's meeting with the emperor yesterday, he didn't know it, he believed that he was so backward and so arrogant, it was really stupid to the extreme.

"Let me participate in the court meeting, this is originally His Majesty's will."

"What's wrong? Lord Liu, you don't have any opinion on His Majesty's will, do you? ”

Although Wang Wenzhao hugged Ji Chunshen's thigh, he never dared to disobey the emperor, and now when he heard it, this was the emperor's will, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"I... Chu Xiu, don't you spew blood, when have I ever opposed Your Majesty? ”

Chu Xiu chuckled.

"No objection, of course it's good."

"Then why don't you shut up?"

Wang Wenzhao looked at Chu Xiu, his eyes seemed to be about to kill, and he wanted to break Chu Xiu's body into pieces.

At this time, Chu Xiu didn't care at all, anyway, the two sides had already torn their faces, even if they begged for mercy now, Ji Chunshen would not let himself go, it was better to slap his face happily.

Wang Wenzhao gritted his teeth and said.

"Chu Xiu, how long can I think you can be arrogant? When you get to Jianjiang Mansion, I have 10,000 ways to kill you. ”

In the face of this naked threat, Chu Xiu was still not afraid and reversed.

"You have 10,000 ways to kill me? There's only one way I can kill you! ”

After Chu Xiu finished speaking, he ignored Wang Wenzhao anymore, silently changed places, and waited for the court.

Wang Wenzhao's face was pale, he didn't expect Chu Xiu to be so arrogant today, if it wasn't for the palace gate, Wang Wenzhao would have turned his face directly with Chu Xiu.

"Chu Xiu, you wait."

"I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

Chu Xiu waited silently in front of the palace gate, and after half an hour, the eunuch in the palace walked out slowly with small steps, looking at the ministers outside the palace and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, your majesty is ready, you can come in with me now."

These ministers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly divided into two shifts and walked towards the palace unhurriedly.

When Chu Xiu followed the team, after walking for a while, he arrived at the Jinluan Palace, Chu Xiu came to this place for the first time, you know, this is a symbol of the center of the imperial court, a symbol of unparalleled power, Chu Xiu once dreamed of entering here, and now he is about to get his wish, but Chu Xiu's heart is difficult to find any joy, but a little uneasy.

"Ugh..."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers below, smiling all over his face.

"It's morning, indeed, there's a particularly important thing. I need to consult with all of you. ”

"The battle between us and the demon barbarians has basically entered a stalemate stage, and they can't get in in a short time, and we can't get out."

"But this doesn't mean that we can let Nanshan go, if we relax a little in the future, we may have to face a huge counterattack from the demon clan."

"For the future counteroffensive, we do need to accumulate some strength."

The ministers at the scene hurriedly nodded and praised.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Indeed it should be!"

But at this point, the smile on the emperor's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a sad expression.

"It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do."

"The treasury is empty, and the imperial court really can't come up with money now."

"I have thought about it again and again, and I have decided to reform the tax system and fill the treasury!"

As soon as they heard that the emperor was going to reform the tax system, the ministers on the scene stopped talking, many of these ministers were from big families, and the emperor wanted to reform the tax system, maybe he wanted to take money out of their pockets, and they were definitely not happy.
