I also want him to die immediately.
Only in this way will his current position not be threatened.
When Concubine Meng heard the conversation between the two, she had an idea in her mind. It turned out that this old man still had some leverage over Lu Heran.
This old guy has always been very dissatisfied with her, and even told Lu Heran not to pamper her too much. Many times, Lu Heran listened to this old general and became much more distant from her.
If she hadn't found a way to make Lu Heran fall deeply in love with her, she would probably have lost her position now.
It seems that we need to remove these stumbling blocks as soon as possible.
This old guy is one of them, and so is the second prince. As for the generals around him, it would be good if they could be obedient. If they are still the same as before, they would better die.
No one knew what Concubine Meng was thinking. She just looked at Lu Heran and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, since the generals don't want to see me, I will leave first and come to see the emperor later."
Lu Heran looked at Concubine Meng's aggrieved look and said with some heartache: "You don't have to leave, just stay here, I want to see who dares to let you go."
While speaking, he glanced threateningly at the people around him.
When everyone saw Lu Heran like this, they sighed softly, thinking that he was indeed not as good as Xuan Feiran.
"The Emperor said he wants to attack Xuan Country. Do you have enough food and grass?"
"If it's not enough, just collect some taxes." Lu Heran said nonchalantly.

Hearing Lu Heran's indifference, several generals nearby were a little dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how the people will live after collecting taxes? They don't have much food now. They fought against Qi last year and suffered a snowstorm this year. How much food can they store? You are now increasing the taxes on the people. Have you ever thought about how the people will live?"
Lu Heran frowned at the old general and said impatiently: "It is their honor to work for the country. They will not die if they go hungry for a few meals."
The old general looked at Lu Heran with disbelief in his eyes. When did Lu Heran become like this, not caring about the lives of the people at all
"Lu Heran, do you know what you are saying? Those are the people who have supported you until now. Without the people, nothing would you be?" Lu Heran was worse than an animal. He actually said that it was okay for the people to go hungry for a few meals.
Concubine Meng pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at the old general: "What are you talking about, old general? Is the emperor wrong? They are just a group of lowly people. Even if they starve to death, there are still so many people. They don't need this. I think the old general is really overthinking it."
"Or is there something that the old general is dissatisfied with the emperor?"
The old general snorted coldly: "This general is dissatisfied with him, so what can you do?"
Concubine Meng frowned slightly and was very dissatisfied with the old general. This man was really rigid.
"Your Majesty..."
"Just do as I say and collect 50% of the taxes." Lu Heran made the decision directly.
The last bit of struggle of several generals was completely gone. They looked at Lu Heran with calm expressions. In the future, even if they gave the city to Xuan Kingdom, they would not feel bad. Lu Heran was not worthy of them.
"Let's go." The old general didn't want to say another word to Lu Heran, so he looked at the people around him and said directly.
Concubine Meng's lips curled slightly as she watched them leave, feeling very happy.
"Your Majesty, you must have someone keep an eye on them and don't let them give the territory of Lu to Xuan State." She knew that last year the general of Qi State directly opened the city gate to let Xuan State enter the city.
To her, the State of Lu was already in her pocket, so how could she just give it to the State of Xuan
Lu Heran naturally knew what Concubine Meng meant: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
They wouldn't dare do that.
Soon the news that the emperor was going to levy a 50% tax spread throughout the State of Lu, and this news left the people of Su Yu speechless.
Is Lu afraid that the Lu State cannot be destroyed? Help them again and again.
"No matter what Lu Heran wants to do, we don't need to care. We just need to listen to our master." The person next to him said directly.

"That's right. Let's pass the message back to the young master first. He should be waiting anxiously."
The young master has been waiting for news from here. What happens here has nothing to do with them. They just need to help the young master get the news he wants.
The news from Lu State soon spread to Xuan State. Su Yu was a little surprised after receiving the news. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.
Su Yu looked at the news sent from Lu State with a slight smile on his face. It seemed that Lu Heran really wanted to die, otherwise how could he do such a thing
Yuan Bao saw that Su Yu's mood suddenly became very good, and asked in surprise: "Master, what happened? Why are you so happy?"
"I am indeed very happy. After all, a lot of things happened in Lu State, and these things are good things for us." Su Yu said meaningfully.
Yuan Bao immediately became interested: "What happened, Master?"
"Lu Heran's favorite concubine thought that it was because of me that the killing of people to make elixirs was exposed, and thought that I was meddling in other people's business, so his favorite concubine proposed to attack Xuan Kingdom."
Hearing this, Yuan Bao looked at Su Yu in surprise, with a look of confusion in his eyes: "Master, is this true?"
Su Yu smiled and nodded: "This is indeed true."

“…” Is there only straw in Lu Heran’s mind now
"This Lu Heran has a problem with his brain."
Su Yu laughed out loud: "Yuanbao, I think we are likely to take over a lot of cities for free again."
You have to know that those generals were completely disappointed with Lu Heran.
"Isn't this possible?"
"Lu Heran followed the advice of that favorite concubine and wanted to collect 50% of the taxes from the people."
"Fifty percent? Does he want the people to die?" Hou Xuan State, which now dares to levy a 50% tax, thinks that there will still be a lot left after collecting 50%.
After the war with Qi and the snow disaster this year, the State of Lu no longer had the ability to pay so much taxes.
"After this news spreads, the people of Lu will most likely leave their homes and come to Xuan State, right?" Yuanbao said.
Su Yu smiled and nodded: "It is indeed possible."

"But we welcome all the people who come. After all, there are still many wastelands in the former Qi State that have not been reclaimed. We need a lot of people to help us develop the country." Su Yu said with a smile.
This is a great thing, don’t miss it.
Yuanbao pressed Su Yu silently, always feeling that the young master was a little shameless
"Master, why don't you tell the emperor about this? Be prepared and be ready for war at any time."
Su Yu laughed softly: "I'm just about to go."
"I'm leaving. If Xiao He asks, just tell him I'll be back later today."
