Great Chu Palace, inside the Taiji Palace.

Zhao Yu wore a crown on his head, wearing a crown robe, and sat upright on the throne.

Below the steps, civil officials and military ministers are lined up, with civil officials on the left and military ministers on the right.

In the column of civil officials, standing at the front is Zhang Kangnian, the Situ of the dynasty; Standing at the front of the Wuchen column was Huang Jingming, the general of the auxiliary state.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

As soon as Gao Lishi's voice fell, Situ Zhang Kangnian, who was standing at the forefront, held the wat board in his hand and bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

"Old Situ, please speak!"

Zhao Yu's gentle voice echoed throughout the Taiji Hall.

For this leader of the neutral faction, Zhao Yu's attitude is still very good.

"Your Majesty has ascended to the great treasure for the first time, and when you show kindness to all the people and rain nectar on all living beings, you can be subdued from all directions, and the people will return to their hearts. The old minister has the courage to ask His Majesty to reduce or reduce the taxes of the people in the world. ”

Zhang Kangnian said respectfully.

Tax reduction and exemption is basically a routine operation used by all emperors to win people's hearts after they ascend the throne.

Lao Situ proposed at this time that although Zhao Yu was not surprised, there was an indescribable sense of greasy taste in his heart.

Originally, in Zhao Yu's plan, the tax reduction and exemption was to be proposed by himself in order to win the hearts of the people, but he didn't want this Situ Gong to take the lead and intercept Hu.

In this way, the first thing to thank the imperial court for reducing taxes is not the imperial court and himself, the emperor, but Zhang Kangnian, the Situ Gong.

The people only knew that it was under the initiative of Lao Situ that the newly enthroned emperor would do this.

In the end, most of the credit and popularity fell to Zhang Kangnian alone.

This old fox who has gone through three dynasties, doesn't he really know that after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will reduce taxes and win people's hearts?

How can it be!

But he just wants to rob me of the credit that belongs to me!

How so!

It's not that he despises me from the bottom of his heart, so much so that he dares to snatch the credit that belongs to me!

"Situ Gong, I remember, I have twenty mansions in the Great Chu, and the tax of the imperial court is fifteen taxes and one?"

Zhao Yu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Zhang Kangnian.

"Your Majesty is very true."

"In this case, according to the request of Lao Situ, I immediately issued an edict to inform the people of Dachu that the taxes in the world will be reduced from 15 taxes to 20 taxes, and that the people will rest with the people. In addition, the debts owed by the people to the government since the beginning of Huang Feng's first year will be reduced by half. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said.

"Your Majesty is really a benevolent and virtuous son!"

Zhang Kangnian fell to the ground and said loudly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The civil and military officials bowed in unison.

"Not only that," Zhao Yu waved his hand and continued, "according to the old practice, I will also open the treasury and reward the army. Great General. ”

"The minister is here!"

Hearing Zhao Yu call his name, Huang Jingming's eyes flashed, and he stood out of the ranks.

"Please ask the general to discuss the amount of this reward with Ma Shangshu after going down to the court, and report it to me as soon as possible."

Zhao Yu didn't grab the tax reduction, so he could only make up for it from other places, that is, to reduce the people's debts and reward the army.

However, in this case, I am afraid that the deposit in the treasury will consume a lot.

"Obey the order!"

Huang Jingming's eyes flashed, and he finally bowed down to accept the order.

This little emperor has a good calculation, and wants to get a reward to let the old man and the household fight.

Speaking of the reward, Zhao Yu cleared his throat, got up from the throne, and said:

"I am a great treasure, fortunately thanks to the kindness of God, the blessing of my ancestors, but it is difficult to support it alone, if there are no ministers, how can I meet with Qing and others in this Taiji Palace?"

Hearing this, Baiguan's heart was shocked.

Meat play, it's coming!

The other three factions were okay, and the officials belonging to the general's line immediately became short of breath.

Among them, who doesn't know how the Son of Heaven in front of him got to the throne?

Without our general, you would still be your little marquis in Taihe Mansion!

Now, the general trend has been decided, and it is time for His Majesty to fulfill the agreement of the day.

Zhao Yu waved his hand, and Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side, took out a roll of yellow silk from his cuffs, held it with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Zhao Yu.

As soon as this thing came out, the entire Taiji Hall suddenly brightened a lot.

It was the reflection of the sun on a pair of wide-eyed eyes.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says: Only rule the world with literature, and fight chaos with force. And the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. It is able to be both civil and military, and to make efforts to repay the service, but it can be praised for its achievements and not praised for its favor. Er auxiliary general Jingming, the order of the saint of virtue, assisted the two masters, the internal security court, stabilized the hearts of the people in the hesitation, the outside of the enemy, the barbarian chaos in the southeast, there is no comparable national soldier, the pillar of the dynasty. Zi Te Er is the servant, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the general of Tianwei, Shang Shuling, the king of Jin Jue and the king, can praise and worship the nameless, enter the court does not trend, the sword is on the palace, to Jiamao honor, Qin this! ”

Huang Jingming, who was at the forefront, heard this, his face turned solemn, he put down the wat board in his hand, leaned down, and kowtowed to Zhao Yu on the throne:

"Wechen thanked Your Majesty Longen, long live, long live, long live!"

"King Taihe, please get up."

Zhao Yu nodded.

Although he originally promised Huang Jingming everything he had done, he still thought a little carefully about making him a prince.

Taihe Mansion, the fief for Huang Jingming, is located in Qiyang County on the southeast coast of Dachu, where everyone who understands the customs and customs can be summed up in seven simple words.

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.

The reason why Taihe Mansion is called Taihe Mansion is because it is next to the first mountain range in the southeast that stretches for thousands of miles - Taihe Ridge.

There are rich state capitals in Dachu, but they must not be cheap for this general!

Then Colliers took out an edict from his cuff and read it aloud:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says: Situ Kangnian is loyal and upright, Xuande Ming'en, observes the festival and takes friendship, and he is very happy with the security of Sheji, and I am very happy, especially with Ningjiang Mansion to seal 500 households, which can enter the court and give the throne, announce the world, and make the Xian envoy know about it."

Mine too?

Hearing the content of this edict, Lao Situ was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react until Gao Lishi reminded him softly.

Pressing down the emotions stirring in his heart, Zhang Kangnian trembled and knelt on the ground, kowtowed:

"Old minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen! Hooray, hooray, hooray! ”

"Gao Lishi, help the old Situ to get up and give him a seat."

Zhao Yu took everything in his eyes and said with a smile.

This Kang Nian is close to eighty years old, and it is estimated that he will be in two or three years.

For an old minister of his age, who is already a very human minister, there are not many people in this world who can attract him, and fame and respect are one of them.

He didn't care about the fiefdom of five hundred households at all, but the courtesy and respect of the new emperor for his old minister was enough to make him remember Wunei.

Although he knew that the emperor's move on the throne was just to buy people's hearts, he was still willing to do it.

As the old saying goes, a tree lives a skin, a person lives a face, and an old minister like himself who is half-cut into the soil only cares about a posthumous name.

Although he also didn't have much affection for this Situ Gong, in order to win over the neutrals, he Zhao Yu had to pinch his nose to appease the other party.

Gao Lishi helped Zhang Kangnian to the moved Taishi chair, and the reward continued.

"Holding Jinwu Huang Wenbo, fulfilling his duties, and working hard...... Jiasan cavalry attendant, the commander of the front division of the palace, Fengde Anhou, and 300 households in Jiayi! ”

The Imperial Guards are in charge of the Imperial City Janissaries.

Zhao Yu knew that this official position was extremely crucial, and he could monitor the movements in the palace at all times, and if possible, he would definitely want to install his own people in this position.

But it's a pity that Huang Jingming will never give up this extremely important official position.

He is weak in the court, and if the other party insists on doing so, he will have to give in in nine times out of ten.

In this case, he might as well simply let go, do a personal favor, and give this official position directly to the other party to avoid future conflicts, and at the same time try to gain a little buffer time.

His Majesty, hearing this edict, Huang Wenbo's heart was cold.

This little emperor still has some eyes, and he knows what he can't mess with.

Thinking like this, he walked out of the queue and kowtowed:

"Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!"

"Sealing the military division sacrificial wine Wu Yizhi...... For the silver Qingguanglu doctor! ”

"Fan Zhen, the general of the Dangkou Crown, ...... For the general of Wuwei, the commander of the front division of the palace! ”

"Seal the Henghai General Fang Chao...... For the general of Zhenbei! ”

…………

All of a sudden, everyone under Huang Jingming's command was rewarded, and the sound of "Long live" continued to sound in the Taiji Palace.
