Chapter 267 A Mouth
Liu Xie spoke heartily, but Xun Yu felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. It was not because of his attitude, but because he felt that Cao Zhi was a bastard. If it weren't for him, things wouldn't be what they are today.
situation.
The emperor's previous defense switch to Xuchang was the opportunity provided by him, but this time it was the same. The emperor made such an impossible request. This was simply killing people!
Taking a deep breath, although Xun Yu had noticed Liu Xie's noncommittal attitude, he still had to work hard. After all, Xuchang is the capital. If the emperor met the tax revenue here, it would be a year, a month, or a day.
, when the time comes, everyone in the world will be required to follow suit, and once this situation becomes a trend, not only will the imperial government's finances be unsustainable, but many places that have just stabilized will be afraid of riots again.
After hesitating again and again, Xun Yu tried: "Your Majesty, you said you want to stop collecting taxes from Xuchang? How long will you stop collecting taxes?"
"I haven't thought about it. It will take at least a year. After all, this is the capital, and it is necessary to provide welfare. After that, this charter can be implemented in various places. Wouldn't everyone benefit?" Liu Xie said,
A hidden smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I thought Mr. Xun Ling wouldn't refuse, right?"
"Your Majesty, you have the common people in mind. This is a good thing, absolutely a good thing! I agree!"
This is a very important place for tax collection, so it may not be appropriate for you to stop collecting taxes here."
What Xun Yu said was tantamount to telling Liu Xie that taxes must not be stopped no matter where they are.
Liu Xie listened to these words and smiled meaningfully, "Xun Lingjun, I know what you said, but this is not contradictory. One year of rest and recuperation, and one year in each place after that, is good for everyone. Besides,
I think the suspension of tax collection for one year will have little impact."
"Does Your Majesty know how much money will be lost if we stop collecting taxes for a year?" Xun Yu asked rhetorically.
Liu Xie shook his head, he really didn't know this.
"Not much to say. It's at least one-twentieth of the imperial court's current income. Although it doesn't sound like much, His Majesty only spent so much money on his last expedition to the Five Marquises!"
Xun Yu almost squeezed out the last few words through his teeth, "Your Majesty, the imperial court is still at war!"
"Xun Lingjun, I'm in trouble for you."
In fact, in Liu Xie's heart, he was also very uncomfortable, especially when he saw Xun Yu's appearance, he felt unbearable pain. However, in order to get the help of those two immortals, Liu Xie must stay strong at this moment, no matter what happens.
, could not change his heart, so he only left these words and got up and walked towards the back of Changxin Palace.
But of course, when he was about to step through the screen door, he suddenly said something in Liu Jin's ear, and then walked straight in.
When he entered the screen door, Liu Jin approached Xun Yu who was a little confused and said, "Xun Lingjun, Your Majesty has something to tell you."
"What is it?"
Because Liu Xie's last sentence was really difficult to understand, Xun Yu was very concerned about it at the moment. Liu Jin looked at him and felt sad in her heart, but she still said with a straight face: "Xun Lingjun, your Majesty has said this, please consider it yourself."
Just do it. If you do it well, everything will be peaceful. If you don’t do it well...he will never make things difficult for you!"
sky!
Hearing this, Xun Yu felt anxious, but also helpless, because Liu Xie had made it very clear that he would not embarrass him, but he did not mean that he would not embarrass Cao Zhi.
What is it that makes the emperor insist on his own ideas so hard?
The doubts in his heart could not cover up his helplessness. Xun Yu sighed and looked at Liu Jin with a wry smile, "Official official, does your Majesty have anything else to say besides this?"
"there is none left."
Liu Jin paused for a moment, then hurriedly said: "No. One more thing. Look at this slave's brain!"
"what else?"
"Your Majesty said, Mr. Zhong Yao, there is no need to wait any longer. I can just go back with you. There is no need to report anything else about this matter. It is the same at the Shangshu Desk and the Tingwei Mansion. Your Majesty only wants one result.
"After saying that, Liu Jin bowed to him very respectfully with a faint smile, and then retreated into the back hall.
Faced with such a severe eviction order, Xun Yu could only sigh and looked at the official documents and files on the table that Liu Xie had "forgotten", but did not take them away after a long time.
This is the attitude. Xun Yu has already agreed to Liu Xie's request!
Many things are like this, and it is no coincidence that Liu Xie made the defense change more easily this time than before. However, he did not know that all this was God's will.
In both cases, he took advantage of the right time, place and people!
After exiting the Changxin Hall, Xun Yu's face looked like the bottom of a pot, blue and black and cold. Zhong Yao saw it from the side and hurriedly came to greet him, "Your Majesty, what do you say?"
Xun Yu looked at him and shook his head without explaining, "Yuan Chang, have you used those refreshments just now?"
"The food is not satisfying. But fortunately, I have filled my stomach. Your Majesty, what did your Majesty say?" Zhong Yao asked again, but Xun Yu snorted and looked into the distance indifferently, "Don't say anything.
Now, let’s go to Cui Shangshu’s house, I want to meet Cao Zhi!”
"yes."
Zhong Yao sensed the anger and murderous intent in his words, so he said nothing at the moment and followed him directly out of the palace and took a car to Cui Yan's residence.
The last time, after Cao Zhi and Liu Xie had a confrontation, he had been waiting for Liu Xie's punishment, but there was no movement from the court after so long, which made Cui Yan a little surprised.
On the contrary, Cao Zhi became even more wild when he saw this. He thought that Liu Xie was afraid of Cao Cao, so he took advantage of the situation and did not do anything to him.
He himself became more confident.
Cui Yan saw all this and felt not only upset, but also a little more anxious. The emperor didn't explain something clearly last time. Obviously, this was a foreshadowing. According to the emperor's character, no matter what, this matter would not matter.
It passed by so vaguely.
There will definitely be consequences, but the severity will vary.
Because of this, Cui Yan couldn't feel at ease for a day until the consequences came. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone coming to report that it was Xun Yu. When Zhong Yao arrived, Cui Yan hurriedly got up and went to greet him.
After letting the two of them into the courtyard, before he could ask any questions, Xun Yu had already asked: "Ji Gui, where is the third young master now?"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Cui Yanzhong sank sharply, because the two of them were dressed as if they had just returned from the palace, and they wanted to see Cao Zhi directly after that. Could it be that they were here to convey the emperor's decree?
Thinking of this, he did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to invite Cao Zhi out from behind. However, he showed up just now, and before he could speak in front of Xun Yu, Xun Yu had an uncharacteristic big mouth and directly served him.
