"Your Majesty, you are already fifteen years old, almost at the age of marriage. You can no longer ask your father for everything like before. You are still like a child who has not grown up. How can I trust you to hand over the entire Huangming to you?"
Li Ying looked stunned.
Didn't she like to tell her father whenever she had something wrong, so that she would have an excuse to meet her father
Why now...
Could it be that something happened between them that she didn't know about
Su Qiao seemed not to notice her shocked expression. He stood up and said seriously, "Besides, it is not appropriate for the harem to interfere in national affairs."
"Besides, your father has always been in poor health. Isn't it unfilial of you to make him worry so much?"
That man always pretends to be weak and looks like he is worried sick about his daughter. This time, Su Qiao is ready to let her fall into the hole she dug.
Li Ying: “…” Today is such a fucked up day.
Putting aside the question of her father's health, doesn't the Imperial Uncle always visit him on the pretext of being worried about her father's health
In other words, if her father was in good health, how could she have the opportunity to see him often
Su Qiao didn't care what she was thinking or how many question marks she had.
She stood on the steps with her hands behind her back, looking down at the two rows of ministers below with a serious expression:
"As for taxes, this year's spring drought is more severe than in previous years, and the people's harvest is poor. If taxes are increased, it may cause riots, and then the gains will outweigh the losses."
"So, not only should the tax not be increased, but it should be appropriately reduced, especially in areas where the drought is severe. It would be best if there is a one-year tax exemption."
"Tax exemption for a year?"
Li Ying looked at Su Qiao in surprise and doubt.
What's wrong with her
Why is it so abnormal
Could it be that she was not really willing to give up power as he thought, so she wanted to show him a warning on his first day in power
So what will she do next
When the other ministers saw this scene, they immediately shut up.
Although it was a bit unexpected, it was more understandable.
No matter how deep the feelings are, they will become vulnerable in the face of power.
In the past, they laughed at the prince for being stupid in their hearts, but now it seems that they don’t know who is stupid.
"Reduction?"
One more year of tax exemption
Minister Li had long known from the Empress and his brother Li Sang that the tax increase had already been approved by the prince, and this sudden change made him feel very surprised.
Su Qiao's eyes swept over calmly, but with a certain pressure: "Why, Minister Li thinks that my analysis is wrong?"
"No, no, Prince Rui's analysis is correct."
Although Minister Li always puts on airs in front of other ministers because his brother is the emperor, he dares not be too presumptuous in front of Prince Rui.
Su Qiao curled his lips slightly, as if smiling: "So you agree with my proposal, I thought you had different ideas!"
Without waiting for her to reply, Su Qiao turned to look at the other ministers.
"The more difficult the times, the more we can establish the image of the court in people's hearts and gather people's hearts. For any country, only unity can achieve long-term success."
"This is also a good opportunity for Your Majesty to enhance your prestige, so that people will support you more. What do you think?"
Su Qiao would never give them another chance to attack him.
In the previous life, the original body's reputation began with this tax increase.
The original proposal was made by Li Sang and his daughter Li Ying, but after it was finally spread, it became that King Rui was determined to increase taxes at this time, and the increase was 30%.
