After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

The Minister of Revenue let them watch, and he was not at all intimidated.

His expression made many court officials puzzled. Could it be that the Minister of Revenue really didn't play any tricks? !

System: [Aruan, the Minister of Revenue never thought of completely exempting himself from hiring private craftsmen. He said that because he was ready to bargain with them. Who knew that your brother proposed to replace taxes with work? It seems fair... But, haha, the key is this tax, which has many advantages.]

Many court officials in the palace were shocked: !!!

Only then did they suddenly react. No wonder the Minister of Revenue was not afraid. Damn, this move completely hit their weak spot!

Several court officials who were close to Yuanruan wanted to interrupt Yuanruan's eating rhythm by falling down or doing other funny things.

But before I could...

Yuanruan: [Tong'er, tell me in detail.]

System: [Because the nobles have various privileges, they can be exempted from taxes in many cases. Therefore, in the eyes of the Minister of Revenue, "replacing taxes with work" is still freeloading to a certain extent.]

Yuan Ruan frowned when he heard this: [Tax exemption privilege? The kind of tax evasion? ]

System: [No, no, no! There are a number of people who are exempt from tax for a reasonable reason. For example, they have made great contributions, or there is a big event that is celebrated by the whole world, or other things. Your brother has rewarded them with a tax reduction for this year. This is not tax evasion. ]

Yuanruan breathed a sigh of relief.

System: [However, there is still a small part of the tax exemption that exploits loopholes. For example, if an official has made great contributions, the emperor will exempt him from taxes for three years. The number "three" often represents "a lot" in ancient times, so some officials will use privileges to interpret it in the direction of "a lot", and thus exempt him from taxes for several years.]

The emperor's face darkened.

The Minister of Revenue was calm and composed: Ha, you bunch of deadbeats, I've let you fleece the national treasury, so just pay up your debts.

Many officials in the hall were worried, but they didn't even dare to feel resentment, for fear that they would accidentally trigger a big incident and then be caught as an example, which would really be the end of them.

Yuan Ruan: […Serves him right! No wonder the Minister of Revenue always cries poor. No matter how good he is at making money, he can’t beat so many rats.]

The Minister of Revenue was moved: Little Imperial Master, you understand me.

The system immediately said: [Aruan, don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health if you get angry. . In this way, I will sort out the names of the officials who evaded taxes. Aruan, you can tell their fortunes right away and hit them in the face! It will make you feel better immediately. ]

Several officials were stunned: "Master System! Many of these are historical problems! Give us a chance to make up for it!"

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [Close to the face and open the big one? Forget it. ]

System: [Ah?! Didn’t Ah Ruan say that confronting someone head-on is the most satisfying thing?!]

Yuan Ruan pointed at his chubby face: [It’s cool! But including the names of these officials and why I have to mention them, I have to say at least a thousand words. I stutter a bit when I speak, it’s too time-consuming.]

System: [Yes.]

Several officials breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, their faces turned green again.

Because the system said: [Aruan, if you don't want to read it, I can write it for you! After I write it, I will hide the booklet in the Qingtong box. Aruan, you just need to tell fortunes and dig it out.]

Yuan Ruan almost spit out: [Is this appropriate? I dug out a piece of paper that complained about an official? It was a Qingtong box, and I dug it out when I was fortune-telling. This... I really can't even pretend. ]

The system was a little puzzled: [But Ah Ruan, you don't have to pretend. Is there anyone in Daxia who thinks that the bronze box has nothing to do with you? ]

Yuanruan said, this makes so much sense.

She tilted her head to look at the court officials of Da Xia and found that they all had solemn expressions, upright postures, and their eyes were all fixed on the emperor.

She caused so many troubles, and every time it was the bronze box that she pointed out. The high-ranking officials of Daxia were so smart that they should have guessed that the box was related to her a long time ago. Who knows what they might have imagined.

Thinking of this, Yuanruan retracted his gaze: [Then let's do it. Anyway, they won't ask me in person, so I'll just pretend I don't know. ]

System: [Okay. I'll arrange it right away! Oh, Ah Ruan, I almost forgot to mention the gossip before. The reason why your brother came half an hour late was because the queen really...haha, what a great operation.]

The emperor thought he had successfully changed the subject, and his old face turned slightly red:...

Yuanruan: [Ah? How does the Queen operate? ]

System: [Your brother has been turned away by the Queen for several days in a row. Yesterday, your brother insisted on going in. The Queen directly asked the head maid to bring the concubines and beauties from the harem to the front hall to block the way, while the Queen rested and slept in the back.]

The civil and military officials all had strange expressions on their faces, pretending collectively that they hadn't heard: Your Majesty is actually disliked by the Queen so much? !

No wonder the emperor was so anxious to ask the Minister of Revenue to take the blame.

Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Ah? Pfft... How could this be? I remember the Queen was always very kind to my brother. Why is she suddenly so...disdainful? ]

The emperor's face changed from red to dark.

System: [Pfft. Because your eldest nephew has been sending people to the Queen to ask for advice on government affairs recently, the Queen is embarrassed to refuse, so she handles government affairs every day. Because she handles them quickly and well, more and more government affairs are sent to her. It just so happens that the eldest princess and the second princess are busy with glass affairs. The second princess is about to give birth but is reluctant to give up the glass business. It just so happens that she saw the Queen helping the prince to handle government affairs, so she begged the Queen to help her take charge of glass together. ]

Yuanruan: [Pfft, the Queen also agreed? ]

System: [Of course! They are all her own children, the queen cannot favor one over the other, so she can only bite the bullet and agree. Now, the queen, who usually sleeps in bed every day, reviews glass matters in the morning and government affairs sent by the prince in the afternoon. She is so tired during the day that she doesn't want to talk at night, doesn't want to sleep with the prince, and only wants to sleep.]

Yuansoft: [……6]

The civil officials and military officers who had never heard of the gossip about the empress were confused: The prince asked the empress for advice on government affairs? Was there some misunderstanding here? !

The court officials who knew the truth looked at each other in bewilderment, and subconsciously looked at the emperor: Is this considered shooting oneself in the foot?

The system continued: [Your brother has been excluded so much that he has developed a rebellious mentality. He refused to leave yesterday. He ordered people to send all the concubines back to their respective palaces, and then sneaked into the Queen's bedroom and had a big fight. Hehe, Ah Ruan, do you know that the Emperor's...]

All the civil and military officials in the court wanted to listen but didn't dare to, and were so embarrassed that they wanted to pick their feet.

The emperor couldn't stand it anymore.

He stood up suddenly.

Yuanruan looked over.

The ministers also looked over.

The emperor glanced at everyone calmly and said, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please adjourn the court."

The ministers were stunned and the hall was as quiet as a chicken.

Three seconds later, the emperor said, "Well, adjourn the court!"

The ministers felt relieved, but for some reason they also felt a sense of regret that they did not eat the whole melon.
