Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Hall of Longevity.

Not long after Taiwei Yang Qinglin left, the Minister of Punishment came to ask to see him.

"Xuan!"

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair and said casually. "According to the order." The eunuch the eunuch came back.

After a while, the Minister of Punishment walked into the Hall of Longevity.

"I have seen Your Majesty." The Minister of Punishment said respectfully.

Li Si looked at the Minister of Punishment and said, "What happened to Aiqing?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister came here to report that the prisoner Yuan Zai wants to see His Majesty."

The Minister of Punishment bowed and said.

"Yuan Zai?" Li Si was slightly taken aback.

This Yuan Zai, Li Si still has some impressions.

In Li Si's memory, the prime minister Yuan Zai was a huge greedy in the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Si ousted Yuan Zai as prime minister, he found 50 million taels worth of jewelry and real estate from his mansion.

You know, even if Datang's tax revenue is only a few million taels a year, less than 10 million taels.

One Yuan Zai, the embezzled silver tael, turned out to be the taxation of Datang for more than five years!

One yuan Zai, let the Tang Dynasty hall, a chaos!

How terrible is this? !

If there were a few more corrupt officials like this in the courtroom, wouldn't the Tang Dynasty have no money to use?

Therefore, Li Si put Yuan Zai into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment on the spot, and waited for the autumn queen to be executed.

However, what Li Si could not have imagined was that Yuan Zai wanted to see the emperor now?

"Did he say something?"

Li Si looked at the minister of punishment and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the prisoner Yuan Zai told the old minister that what he wants to say to His Majesty is a top secret, so the old minister dare not ask more..."

The Minister of Punishment replied immediately.

"Top secret?"

Li Si sneered.

He wanted to know how exactly what Yuan Zai said was top secret.

If this top secret can really impress the emperor, then Li Si doesn't mind listening to it more.

If he can't move, Li Si may let Yuan Zai walk through the dungeon of Dongchang.

There are countless tortures in the Dongchang dungeon. By that time, Yuan Zai may not even want to die.

"Bring Yuan Zai to the palace, let's see if the secret in his heart can be called a top secret."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the Minister of Punishment immediately bowed and said, "Follow the decree."

After the Minister of Punishment finished speaking, he got up and left the Hall of Longevity, and at His Majesty's order, he brought the prisoner Yuan Zai to the palace...

...

...

Wang Mu officially joined the court as the champion of the imperial examination.

The relationship between the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was complicated, but because Wang Mu and the other three were the first disciples of the emperor, and they were in the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to embarrass them.

After Wang Mu entered the court and had contact with those ministers, the complacency in his heart was instantly dissipated.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, which of the officials above the fourth rank is not the number one scholar, the second best in the list?

Compared with him, Wang Mu, what was he worth?

The only title of "Protege of the Son of Heaven" is still dipped in the light of Emperor Tang's reform of the imperial examinations.

After Wang Mu realized this, he immediately corrected his attitude and studied the various measures released by the emperor day and night since he ascended the throne.

Wang Mu was shocked by this research.

When today's son, the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to order the Minister of Household to investigate the land in the world.

Then land reform.

Implement a system of taxation by mu.

This approach has greatly alleviated the problem of land mergers.

It also increased the taxation of the imperial court.

This reform is simply groundbreaking. Since then, there will never be a scene of no tax to be collected in Datang again.

Wang Mu's body trembled with excitement, and his reverence for the Son of Heaven was beyond words.

Wang Mu firmly believed that if the land reform was thoroughly implemented, the treasury of the Tang Empire would be useless from then on.

Once upon a time, Wang Mu also had great ambitions and wanted to assist the current sage.

But now it seems that the emperor's talent is far beyond his reach.

He Wang Mu, He De He Neng, is qualified to assist the current Sage?

However, Wang Mu not only did not worry about it, but was even more fortunate.

It is the luck of the world and the happiness of the common people that the Tang Dynasty was obtained from the Holy Monarch!

Wang Mu calmed down and continued to study.

Soon, Wang Mu saw the emperor's business tax reform and abolished the customs tax.

Once the customs tax is abolished, the income of Datang merchants will inevitably increase, and the commercial tax will naturally rise.

In this way, Datang's immediate urgency was eased.

One land reform, one commercial reform, one after another, one long-term and one short-term, completely solved the problem of Datang's treasury.

With sufficient treasury, Datang will have the confidence to reopen the prosperous age!

Wang Mu's heart was agitated, and he wished to bow down in front of the emperor to express his enthusiasm.

Wang Mu calmed down, but found that the abolition of customs taxes, although it can increase the national treasury revenue for Datang, but it improves the status of businessmen...

Merchants have always been profit-seeking, and the philistine aura is very strong. If the merchants become bigger and dominate the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, the good and the bad will be unpredictable...

In the eyes of businessmen, money can enlighten the gods, and even some businessmen, for the sake of money, blatantly ignore the imperial power...

If this phenomenon is not controlled, I am afraid it will shake the country and society...

Wang Mu's heart was deeply worried. . . .

...

The minister of the Ministry of Punishment rushed back to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and came to Yuan Zai.

"Will Your Majesty see me?"

Yuan Zai asked nervously.

The Minister of Punishment did not speak, but looked at Yuan Zai instead.

Just when Yuan Zai's heart was cold, thinking that His Majesty would not even see him, the Minister of Punishment finally said, "Come with me."

soon.

The minister of punishment brought Yuan Zai into the palace.

Yuan Zai walked in this palace, and he was filled with emotion.

Ever since he was ousted from the position of prime minister and put in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Yuan Zai never thought that one day he would still be able to walk in this palace.

Yuan Zai clenched his fists.

He Yuanzai must seize this opportunity to regain the emperor's favor.

Outside the Hall of Longevity.

The Minister of Punishment waited for the notification from the eunuch, and walked into the hall with Yuan Zai.

Yuan Zai knelt directly in front of the dragon's case with a thud.

"Caomin Yuanzai, thank you Your Majesty for the grace of God."

Yuan Zai said loudly.

Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair and looked at Yuan Zai who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up."

"Tell me about the top secret in your mouth?"

"If I find out that you are deceiving me, you should know what the consequences will be, right?"

Li Si said.

"Report to Your Majesty, Caomin never deceived His Majesty."

Yuan Zai didn't dare to lift his head: "If Your Majesty feels that the grass-minders are deceiving, the grass-minders are willing to suffer any consequences!"

"In that case, tell me."

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, the Minister of Punishment immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing wrong, the old minister will retire first..."

The Minister of Punishment is very self-aware.

What can be called top secret by Yuan Zai must not be a mere six Shangshu that he is qualified to contact.

If the Minister of Punishment is curious and stays and listens, if he hears something that he should not know, I am afraid that he will be locked in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Therefore, no matter what the top secret is in Yuan Zai's mouth, the Minister of Punishment has no meaning to understand it.

Just ask to leave. After receiving the nod from the emperor, the Minister of Punishment left the Hall of Longevity without looking back.

In the Hall of Longevity, Li Si looked at Yuan Zai and said, "Now, should you tell me?"
