"Shangshu is here, isn't it to talk about wealth tax?" Ren Baqian said as he saw Tong Zhenye coming in through the door, and put down the document in his hand.
He first disclosed the news of the wealth tax at the court meeting, so that other people would be mentally prepared. Just as he had thought before, just a leak would cause countless people to oppose it.
You must know that if a wealth tax is levied, the people who suffer the most are high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and aristocratic families, and these people are precisely the top part of a country.
"Just keep it. If you don't bring what you don't take with you when you die, why keep so much? Do you still count on it for generations to come? Anyway, you can leave some for future generations, and you won't empty out your family's wealth, right? Wasn't it the same when it was money? Now that a few years have passed, everyone has become hypocritical!" Tong Zhenye said with a big grin.
"It would be great if everyone thought like you." Ren Baqian shook his head slightly, the reason was this, but taking out his own things, even if it was just a little, would feel pain in the flesh.
This is true all over the world.
But he wasn't afraid that those people would turn the world upside down, just like what the Empress said, the last thing she was afraid of was someone rebelling.
Under the suppression of absolute strength, there is no way to stir up any storms.
"Then why are you free to come to the palace today?"
"Let's talk about it later, why don't you go and see the excitement outside?" Tong Zhenye chuckled.
"Lively?" Ren Baqian was puzzled.
Tong Zhenye told himself to watch the excitement, this must not be an ordinary excitement.
"Qin Chuan (Shangshu of the Ministry of War) beat Xuanhua (Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites)?"
"Or did Shi Qing and Zhe Kouhai fight over girls in the brothel?"
"What did I miss in the palace these days?"
"You don't know?" Tong Zhenye's eyes widened.
"What do I know?" Ren Baqian was puzzled.
"Someone is challenging the princess! The princess is waiting on the palace wall!"
"Huh?" Ren Baqian was even more puzzled!
Someone challenge Erhua? what's the situation? what happened
Waiting on the palace wall
How come I don't know about such a big thing
"It's a young swordsman in Daxia seeking a breakthrough and challenging the first person of the younger generation." Tong Zhenye said with a smile.
Ren Baqian: "..."
"Yu Qing is the first person of the younger generation?"
"Otherwise what do you think?" Tong Zhenye glanced at him. "You can't beat her, believe it or not?"
"Isn't this nonsense!" Ren Baqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his own strength was like a hammer, on the surface it looked okay, but if he really fought with his peers, he would probably be beaten so hard that he couldn't find Bei.
What's more, Erhua is the immortal!
Also, Erhua's immortal strength is indeed the first among the younger generation.
The empress is the first person of the previous generation, Erhua is the first person of this generation, and only one of the three members of this family is useless.
"Let's go and have a look." Ren Baqian shook his head slightly.
"Where's the commander?" After leaving the door, Ren Baqian asked the guards.
"The commander is at the palace wall."
"I'm the only one who doesn't know, am I?" Ren Baqian glared at him.
"Your Majesty came down just now, but you were processing paperwork, and you didn't respond to calling you twice, so you left again. Your Majesty asked you to let him in!"
Ren Baqian patted his head, so it turned out to be the case.
"Your Highness is so courageous!" Tong Zhenye gave a thumbs up. "Your Majesty is so generous!"
Ren Baqian turned his head angrily and walked out.
When I went up to the city wall above the palace gate, I saw a big umbrella placed there, two chairs below, and a small table with melon seeds and snacks on it. Two women sat there and kneaded melon seeds.
"You guys are quite leisurely!" Seeing this, Ren Baqian was a little speechless, he was exhausted, these girls are great.
"I called you just now. Seeing that you are busy, I won't bother you." The empress cracked melon seeds very characteristically, she grabbed a handful and threw them directly into her mouth without spitting out the skin.
Ren Baqian felt something, and glanced into the distance, only to see that there were many people crowded on both sides below, making way for the middle.
A young man in a long robe, with a knife on his waist and pressing it with his left hand, walked step by step from a distance, with momentum rising from his body.
Looking at this scene, Ren Baqian was a little familiar. Thinking about it carefully, such a thing happened many years ago.
But at that time, I was below, squeezed in the crowd, watching the heroic appearance of the Empress.
Thinking of that scene, Ren Baqian sighed in his heart, time flies, Erhua has grown so big, time is really scary.
As for the empress, nothing has changed.
"Wild God Wheel? This is not bad!" Ren Baqian commented after feeling it.
"Big Xia's first knife, Xu Baimei, is formidable, but look at me, he is not my opponent!" Erhua stared down with a serious face, making a serious look.
"Nonsense, you two are one level behind!" Ren Baqian kicked the chair, Erhua got up knowingly, and let the place go.
Then he stood at the head of the city, which immediately caused a lot of cheers from below.
Erhua's popularity is still very high.
As a princess of the royal family, she has a beautiful appearance, and her strength is the number one person in the younger generation, a strong immortal. His personal style is not domineering, on the contrary, he is quite close to the people, and his popularity is naturally very high.
Even chased after the empress.
"I'm going to live..." Ren Baqian's words swirled around his mouth, but he didn't say it.
Follow Erhua.
But she is different from the empress, after all, she has studied on the earth for so many years, although she is usually mischievous, she seldom hurts others.
As the young man's aura continued to climb, his aura was at its peak when he arrived at the palace.
Masters who have been honed in battle usually use this method to make their shots when their aura is at its highest.
But when he was two hundred meters short of reaching the palace, he was stopped by a person.
A hip-hop young man with his hair tied back, wearing baggy sweatpants and a white T-shirt, holding an iron blade (iron sword) upside down in his hand
"To, to, to, to pick, to challenge, first, first..."
"This is Li Dai, right? I thought he wanted to make trouble with Cheke! Is his stammer still healed?" Ren Baqian said something, and Erhua burst out laughing.
"Father, you are not so funny at ordinary times! The painting style is wrong!"
"But why did this guy show up? I said I don't need him, and I haven't done anything for a long time!" Erhua then frowned and said with a twitch of the corner of her mouth.
"Although the strength is not as good as the opponent's, but there is a sword intent in him, he is a talent!" The empress nodded slightly.
While a few people were talking, the two people below had already moved their hands.
Daxia Swordsman didn't speak, turned around halfway, and there was a huge wave in the air. The huge wave formed by the light of the knife was extremely violent, as if it wanted to destroy anyone and everything in front of him.
Li Dai was like a dead tree in the huge waves, being lifted up and thrown down with the huge waves.
A face-to-face Li Dai fell into a disadvantage, but his feet remained steady, his eyes were fixed on the front, looking for any possible flaws, and the sword in his hand was always behind his back.
At a certain moment, Li Dai's eyes flashed, and the sword in his hand stabbed out silently.
"That idiot fell for it!" Erhua curled her lips. "The front is open to the eyes. The saber looks fierce, but in fact it is restrained, keeping strength everywhere. The real ultimate move is hidden behind."
"That's because you look at it from a higher level. You may not be able to do as well as him below. After all, Li Dai's strength is much lower than the opponent's." Ren Baqian said.
Although he didn't understand anything.
As Erhua said, the giant wave suddenly disappeared, and a soft sound spread throughout the audience, and the two had changed positions.
"Okay!" Li Dai spit out a word, swayed his body, and there was a bloodstain from his chest to his throat.
Xu Baimei ignored Li Dai who was behind him. The opponent's swordsmanship was very fast, but his own sword was faster.
Your own goals are on top.
Looking up, I saw a woman in blue standing above, and a few figures sitting behind.
One of them only looked at it from a distance, making himself feel the pressure of suffocation.
"Qi Zixiao? She's there too." Xu Baimei tried hard to keep his eyes on Erhua.
However, the crotch was cold, the belt was loosened, and he quickly reached out to grab it, and finally he didn't lose face.
"Damn it! That bastard! When did you cut it off!" Xu Baimei cursed in his heart. Just now he thought that the man's sword was fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and cut off his belt.
If I had known earlier, I would not keep my hand!
However, this long journey has accumulated momentum, and another person has won the momentum to pile up to the peak, but at this time he is completely discouraged.
Feeling ashamed to challenge him with one hand holding his trousers, he immediately turned around and left without saying a word.
In a challenge, everyone was waiting to see the princess show her might, but no one expected that it would become a farce because of one person and one sword killed halfway.
"I want to deduct his money! I want to deduct his salary!" Erhua looked at Xu Baimei who turned around and left on the wall, gnashing her teeth angrily.
On the contrary, the empress was thoughtful: "It's a good seed, keep Erhua around and waste it, send it to the Two Realms Wall!"
One must know that Li Dai is just entering the Divine Wheel, while Xu Baimei is already condensing the Divine Weapon, and he was able to cut Xu Baimei's belt without anyone noticing, which shows his strength.
"It's just broken!" Ren Baqian said on the side.
He didn't think it was boring, watching this farce was much more interesting than watching Erhua slap Da Xia for the first time.
And I didn't realize that Li Dai, a cold-faced, reticent and stuttering child, was so skinny before!
