The Immortal Emperor looked at Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong, and then said: "Two companions, if this matter cannot be resolved, then what I said before about agricultural taxes not increasing will become a joke. Once the farmers fail,
Taxes are going up and farmers can't even afford to eat, so the world is not far away from chaos. Do you two have any ideas to solve this problem?"
Liu Zhong thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't have a good way. As far as the current situation is concerned, there is only one way, and that is to directly issue an order so that the goods in the world are not allowed to increase at will.
Anyone who dares to raise prices at will will be severely punished. Only in this way can we ensure that farmers will not be harmed by this tax increase."
Wei Xiaode said solemnly: "But if those merchants are not allowed to increase their prices, I am afraid more merchants will go bankrupt."
The Immortal Emperor also nodded, frowning and stomping around, and Liu Zhong said at this time: "Your Majesty, although this will make more businessmen bankrupt, it will also destroy the alliance formed by those businessmen.
But we can take this opportunity to attract more businessmen. We can tell these businessmen the news in advance so that they can be mentally prepared. Then when His Majesty issues the decree, they will already have some preparations.
When the time comes, they will naturally be grateful to us, and it will naturally be easier for us to win over them. As long as we win over more businessmen than the left and right, or are almost the same as the left and right, then we will still have the left and right.
The ability to compete with one another."
When the Immortal Emperor heard what Liu Zhong said, he was stunned at first, but then his face showed a hint of joy? He turned to look at Wei Xiaode and said: "Wei Banban? Do you think this matter is feasible?"
Wei Xiaode thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Your Majesty? Do you think this matter is feasible? And I think this matter is feasible or not? We must do it. If we don't do it? What about the farmer?"
Will it be damaged? By that time, it will be too late."
The Immortal Emperor nodded and said: "Okay, then it's decided. You also want to order Dongwei to take a good look at each city? In each city, if the merchants controlled by the big families dare to increase prices at will,
We have to deal with them, and we must not be polite? This trend must be suppressed? Otherwise, it will be really too dangerous." Wei Xiaode responded.
At this time, Liu Zhong said: "Your Majesty? This old slave has one more thing to report to Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" The Immortal Emperor looked at Liu Zhong. He knew what Liu Zhong was talking about. It must be nothing trivial? If it was a trivial matter, he would handle it himself and would not wait until now.
Liu Zhong said: "Your Majesty, I have received news that the Shadow Clan seems to have gathered some troops to attack our defense line. This time, the location of their attack does not seem to be the territory of the Blood Killing Sect.
It’s about our other defense zones, including the defense zones we control and the left and right two-phase control zones.”
As soon as the Immortal Emperor said this to Liu Zhong, his expression couldn't help but change. He immediately looked at Liu Zhong and said, "Are you ready for the news?"
Liu Zhong nodded, and the Immortal Emperor frowned and said, "What does Liu Banban think we should do?"
Liu Zhong immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think we should immediately order the defense areas under our control to strengthen the alert. As for the defense areas controlled by the left and right phases, we will not notify you for the time being. If the Shadow Clan's
If they really suffer from this attack, we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Now the left and right prime ministers are expanding their troops in various cities, obviously for Your Majesty. If we can use the hands of the Shadow Tribe to suppress their arrogance,
, this is a good thing.”
When the Immortal Emperor heard what Liu Zhong said, he couldn't help but frowned. Then he thought for a while and then said: "But if we really do this, many people will definitely die at the border defense line, even though those troops are
Those controlled by the left and right phases, but the sergeants in the army are all from our fairy world."
Liu Zhong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I know that you still regard them as people from the immortal world, as your people and your soldiers, but they are loyal to the left and right prime ministers, and the left and right prime ministers are destroying the foundation of the immortal realm.
, Your Majesty, now the two prime ministers on the left and right, as well as those under him, can no longer be regarded as people in the immortal world, nor can they be regarded as your subjects. They are all your enemies. Only by destroying them can you integrate
With the power to destroy the Immortal Realm, wipe out the Shadow Clan in one fell swoop, reorganize the Immortal Realm, and restore the glory of the Immortal Realm, Your Majesty!" At the end of the sentence, Liu Zhong knelt down and bowed to the Immortal Emperor. At the same time, tears flowed from his eyes.
Drainage from eyes.
The Immortal Emperor looked at the extremely excited Liu Zhong and felt sad. After a while, he took a deep breath and then said: "Liu Banban is right. They are indeed my enemies now. I can only destroy them all."
Only then can I integrate the power of the fairy world and wipe out the Shadow Clan people in one fell swoop. Okay, let’s just rely on Liu Banban and let’s do it like this.”
Liu Zhong responded, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up. The Immortal Emperor glanced at Liu Zhong, then at Wei Xiaode, and then said in a deep voice: "Wei Banban, at the next court meeting, what do you want?"
Do two things. First, decree that the prices of commodities in various places shall not be increased arbitrarily. If anyone dares to disobey, the three tribes will be punished. Second, order the left and right prime ministers to allocate ordnance to the Twelve Guards and Four Guards City troops without any mistakes.
, Liu Banban, you also have to help Wei Banban get these two things done, and as for the orders from the border army, you can go and issue them right away."
The two of them responded at the same time, and then the Immortal Emperor waved his hands, and the two of them exited the room. The Immortal Emperor waited until the two of them exited the room, then he opened the window, looked out the window and murmured: "There really is no such thing.
It is so sinful to think that one day I will regard my people as my enemies."
The Immortal Emperor felt really uncomfortable. Back then, he could completely control the Immortal World. However, in those years, his practice encountered a bottleneck. He planned to retreat for a period of time to improve his strength, but the Immortal World again
It had to be left alone. Coincidentally, the two prime ministers in the Immortal Realm were too old to be in charge, so he promoted He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, whom he had been very optimistic about before, and made them become leaders.
Left and right phases.
Later, the old left and right ministers passed away one after another, and the status of He Tuizhi and Sima Lang became more stable. At that time, He Tuizhi and Sima Lang could be said to obey his words, so he trusted them more.
Because he single-handedly promoted these two people, he thought that these two people would definitely listen to him.
It was all his imagination. While he was in seclusion, these two people slowly emptied him out. They united with the ministers in the court and emptied out his power bit by bit.
Originally, he didn't care much about things like this. He knew very well that although he was the Immortal Emperor, even though he was the emperor of the Immortal World, he was still a monk, and what was most important to a monk? Of course it was strength, of course it was that
The Avenue of Immortality is the most important, and precisely because of this, even though he discovered what He Tuizhi and Sima Lang did, he didn't care.
But later when the Shadow Clan got into trouble, he discovered the shortcomings of He Tuizhi and Sima Lang. These two were experts at fighting internally and outsiders at fighting externally. They fought for power internally. They were really good players, but
Externally, especially when facing the Shadow Tribe people, they really didn't look good. They had no impressive record at all. The fairy world was defeated one after another, losing a large area of land, and countless people died. In the end, they actually
Only some big cities could be defended, but a large area of land was completely lost. How could the Immortal Emperor not be angry?
But when the Immortal Emperor wanted to take back his power, he found that he could no longer do it. These two guys, He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, actually united all the officials in the court together.
Confront him so that even if he wants to take back his power, he can't.
The Twelve Guards and Four Guards armies that were originally available to him had all been destroyed by He Tuizhi and Sima Lang. Even the Hussars were destroyed and had no combat effectiveness.
There was no hope anymore. At that time, the Immortal Emperor was really too ruthless to take action himself and kill the left and right prime ministers.
But he found that he couldn't do it. The left and right prime ministers had united all the families in the city, and the masters of those families were all protecting the left and right prime ministers, which made it difficult for him to move forward.
In the end, the Immortal Emperor had to reuse the two internal officials Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode. They came forward to integrate the Hussars and formed the East Guards. This slowly stabilized the situation. If he didn't do this, I'm afraid it would be a disaster.
Both He Tuizha and Sima Lang had the idea of abolishing him.
If it really comes down to it, all of this is his fault. If he hadn't misunderstood people and handed over power to He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, the fairy world would not have become like this. The situation in the fairy world,
It would not become like this now, so the Immortal Emperor really regrets it now, and he is also very guilty.
It is precisely because of this that the Immortal Emperor wants to deal with He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, and even wants to deal with hundreds of officials. But for the troops loyal to He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, as well as the small officials below, he really
It can't be said that he hates them, and he has never even been able to be cruel, which is why he has been in a stalemate with He Tuizhi and Sima Lang for such a long time.
But what Liu Zhong said just now reminded him that he could no longer be so hesitant, nor could he be so kind to a woman. Instead of being so hesitant, it would be better to cut through the mess quickly and use all the means used to deal with the enemy.
Use it on them, maybe the effect will be better.
As long as he can get rid of the left and right prime ministers and all the officials in the court in the shortest time, and regain control of the fairy world, he can use the power of the fairy world to form a new army, eliminate the Shadow Tribe people, and restore a clear world to the fairy world.
Restoring this fairy world, which has changed beyond recognition because of his mistake, to its original appearance. Only in this way can he truly be worthy of the people and the ancestors of the fairy world.
When he thought of this, the Immortal Emperor couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He had really figured it out this time. Liu Zhong's words really made him think it through completely, so there was no last trace of hesitation in his heart.
"Why retreat, Sima Lang, come on, let me see whether you are more powerful or I am more powerful. Let me see whether this world will eventually fall into your hands or whether it will return to your hands again."
