Chapter 828

I remember when I first met Lao Qi, he was in charge of the imperial government, and fought against the empress, the Taifu, the empress and the nanhuaiwang party. He was very careful, and did not leak anything. At that time, although the days were full of calculation, he had no choice but to overthrow them one by one.

Now, he is not as decisive as before. Perhaps, the Empress Dowager is right, because he has concerns in his heart, so he always looks forward to doing things and binds his hands and feet.

In the Xiwei palace, the Empress Dowager changed her harshness and ferocity. "I scolded you just now, and my ancestors were not happy, but you really let me down."

"I'm sorry, ancestor. I know I'm wrong." Murong Jie whispered, his eyes full of guilt, that is not to say anything else, if this time, is not the ancestor back, he this disaster escape.

The words of our ancestors were a slap in the face, which made him wake up.

He taboo the emperor in everything. He even knew that the emperor's behavior was wrong, but he let it go. He also said that he could not control it. He told himself that no matter how big it was, was it greater than the imperial power?

He made the most mistakes when things got to this point.

"Forget it, the AI family won't scold you any more. Go to the imperial study with the AI family and see what your brother has done."

"Yes Murong Jie stood up and helped her out.

However, after the emperor recovered from his illness, what he did was nothing more than aiming at him and eliminating dissidents to consolidate his own power. It is reasonable to say that he did nothing to hurt the people. Why are the ancestors so angry?

The reason why laozong was so angry was mostly because of the affairs of the country and the people. Most of the other things were tolerable.

However, when he came to the imperial library, he was really shocked to see the volumes transferred by his ancestors.

He increased taxes, and the general tax and the tax of kechai were half as heavy as before. Originally, the banknotes of kechai were not included in the national government, but were used by the princes, princesses and ministers of the fiefs, but now they are all included in the national treasury.

and so on, also increased the consumption of rats, and the new children reported paying taxes on registered residence, and there were seven or eight such items.

Not to mention these kinds of things, they are the taxes that the tillers have to pay. After a year, they die and can't even eat a full meal.

"All these have been promulgated?" Murong Jie asked in horror.

"It has been promulgated." The Empress Dowager said.

"When was it promulgated? Why don't I know? "

Tax increase is a top priority for the country. It needs to be submitted to the cabinet for deliberation, and then to the early court for discussion. It will take at least half a year from the drafting of the motion to its implementation, but it has been promulgated without his knowledge? "Before AI Jia's return to Beijing, it was just announced that when you and Zi an had an accident, all the ministers in the cabinet were replaced. Now the cabinet is headed by Mr. Sun and Mr. Tu, both of whom were promoted by the emperor. Therefore, this measure can be implemented so quickly, and there is no voice against it. That's why."

"Is he crazy?" Murong Jie was annoyed. "When his father was here, he paid light taxes. He said that only in this way could the people have enough to eat and the Zhou Dynasty be stable. Did he want to force against the people?"

The Empress Dowager said faintly, "yes, it's against the people, but it's not him, it's you."

"Me?" Murong Jie was stunned. "You see," the Empress Dowager drew out a dossier, "the historian wrote here that exorbitant taxes and levies were advocated by you, and they were also organized and implemented by you. The emperor is still ill. Presumably, the notice of increasing taxes and levies is stamped with your seal, and the people will be angry and resentful, and it's for you to admire Jie.

when he forces you out of power, he has collected at least half a year's money Taxes have not only filled the national treasury, but also gained the reputation of the emperor. This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. "

"What a dangerous heart! Now that there is no war in the Middle Kingdom, why does he want so much money? " Murong Jie said angrily.

"Look down again!" The Empress Dowager gave a cold hum. Murong Jie opened the second volume, which integrated the recent work of the emperor. First, he built a Garden Palace on the west side of the palace. Second, he ordered a large number of weapons, and ordered a number of bows and crossbows from Dayue state, and began large-scale conscription He has two sons in the army, and one of them has to serve in the army.

Compulsory conscription can only be carried out when there is war in the country.

Today, the great Zhou Dynasty is peaceful and has no foreign invasion. In civil strife, there is only king nanhuai, who is not in danger. Why did he recruit troops on a large scale?

Murong Jie then looked at the paper handed by the Ministry of official affairs. The Ministry of official affairs recommended many people with martial arts skills. It seemed that they wanted to place generals in the various armies.

"He wants to build his own army." Murong Jie was very cold. "If he didn't believe me, even the generals and soldiers of Dazhou didn't believe me." The Empress Dowager said with profound meaning: "Lao Qi, he doesn't kill you, but he is calculating and pushing you back step by step. He wants you to be ruined. What he loves is not only the throne, but also the reputation. In your short days in power, you have made many achievements, which won the hearts of the people. Your father and his family are sadThey all had high hopes for you. They thought that they had buried a bad root in his heart. At that time, I didn't realize that when you really came out, that bad root would swallow him like a raging beast. "

Murong Jie slowly closed the zongjuan and said, "why did you build the garden and other palaces? It's impossible to enjoy it. He's not a person who indulges in leisure. "

"He invited a lot of people who knew how to play poisonous insects to Beijing from the Miao area. These people will be placed in other courtyards later. After the construction of the other palace, he will often go to live in it himself."

Murong Jie understood, "he wants to cure."

"He forced the family to come back, but he knew in his heart that the family might not try his best to save him, so he had been ready for a second time."

Murong Jie crossed his fingers and put them on the scroll, "Laozu, what do you want me to do?"

The Empress Dowager looked at him, "Ai Jia asked you first, what would you do?" Murong Jie pondered for a long time, and said: "the old ancestor will never watch him die. He will surely save him. Now that the crown prince has been appointed, the situation in the court should be stable. Since I am the Regent, the emperor should take over the power during his treatment, and return it to him when the emperor recovers.

”In a few short sentences, although she didn't make any grand wish, she won the Empress Dowager's heart. She nodded with satisfaction, "well, you know how to do it. Although the mourning family doesn't give up on him, it doesn't mean that we can't watch him die without saving him. Everyone will die sooner or later. It's just that he has made a lot of troubles, and he has to pay off all kinds of bad karma Go ahead, son. The AI family lives here to support you. "

Murong Jie got up and worshipped deeply, "yes."

He raised his head, eyes a little more firm, "however, before the palace, I want to see the emperor."

The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "go to see him, and see him as a winner, so that he can know that he has lost this game. You can also formally declare war with him and beat him first." Murong Jie deeply worship, "know."
