Chapter 200 The Emperor is Shocked by the Tax
Inside the palace
The emperor was eating a self-heating hotpot in the queen's bedroom. The two of them didn't bother to talk and just ate with great relish.
The young eunuch reported to Eunuch De outside the door that the young princess had sent someone into the palace with a token, saying that it was tax money delivered to the emperor.
Eunuch De waved his hand and asked people to wait at the door while he went in to report to the emperor.
"The emperor and the little princess sent someone to deliver today's tax silver."
The emperor then put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and looked at Eunuch De: "How much can there be in just half a day? It's really delivered once a day."
"Your Majesty, no matter how many little princesses there are, since you have sent someone here, just accept them first."
After hearing what the queen said, the emperor nodded and said, "Xiao Dezi, bring the person in."
The person who came was a shop assistant named Xiaodengzi. This name was given by Su Muyao herself. It not only means a small stool, but also a small table.
They were originally slaves who were bought and sold at will. The fact that they met the little princess not only gave them a name, but also gave them monthly wages and commissions.
Each of them works very hard.
Xiaodiao came in a little nervous and didn't dare to raise his head. He said, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor." After paying his respects, he knelt on the ground.
"How much tax silver did the little princess ask you to deliver?"
"Your Majesty, the total is one hundred and eight thousand taels of silver."
Everyone present was stunned when these words were spoken, and the emperor rubbed his ears in disbelief.
"How many did you say?"
Xiaodiao replied with a slightly louder voice: "One hundred and eight thousand taels of silver."
The emperor suddenly stood up and this time he heard it clearly. He never thought that in just half a day, the tax revenue alone was more than 100,000.
When you think about it, how much silver did this little princess collect in just one afternoon?
When Xiao Dengzi handed today's bill together with the money to the emperor, the emperor found out that it was actually bought by one person. The most important thing is that the little princess did not pay her share of the tax.
It seems that this little fox is not going to give it to me! Anyway, I can collect a lot of taxes from the people in the Western Regions. It seems that I have underestimated this business.
The Queen was also very excited. In previous years, they had spent a lot of money to pay tribute to the Western Regions.
Now is the time for them to spend money on the great dynasty.
The emperor then laughed out loud, "As expected of Little Lucky Star, he is really capable. Look at how much tax he collected in just half a day. What if he collected taxes for a few more days?
This will not only solve the problem of food and grass for the soldiers on the border, but will also enrich the national treasury. Those ministers cry poor in front of me every day, but they are not stingy in buying those things. "
Although the tax was paid by the people from the Western Regions, he knew how much silver these ministers had spent privately in Su Muyao's shop.
He keeps complaining about being poor, but then he spends a lot of money.
The Queen also chuckled at the side: "I heard that Yuan'er has recaptured two cities, and all the soldiers under King Xiaoyao have been transferred to Yuan'er's team.
Now, as long as we recapture the other three cities that were previously captured by the enemy, shouldn’t we come back?
After all, a prince of a country can't always be on guard at the border."
The emperor frowned, as there was really no better choice than Long Yuan.
"Queen, I know you miss Yuan'er, but he is the only one who can protect this vast country.
He is the crown prince, and he will take my position in the future. If he does not have strategy and is not recognized by the soldiers, he will not be able to sit in this position peacefully. "
The queen's face instantly fell when she heard this. She understood that he had directly refused to let Yuan'er come back.
Isn't it because he is afraid that others can't guard it? He has to let his own son guard it.
He has no special ability. If it weren't for his father, the kingdom would have changed hands long ago. Now that King Xiaoyao has fallen, there is still no one available.
He even had the nerve to say that Long Yuan would not be able to sit firmly on this position in the future. The current queen wanted to curse him, but because Xiao Dezi was around, she had to give some consideration to the emperor's face.
He turned his head and snorted coldly.
Upon seeing this, the emperor waved his hand and asked Xiao Dezi and the others to go down first, while he went to coax the queen.
"Okay, don't be angry. Yuan'er is also my son. How could I not love him? It's just that there is no one available now, so he has to work hard."
The queen slapped the emperor away and held her hand: "You are just talking nonsense, but you are incompetent. Long Yuan is only in his teens and you want him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. You are really incompetent as a father."
The emperor did not dare to refute and just touched his nose, as he knew he was in the wrong.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'll compensate Long Yuan when he returns to the palace. You take a good rest first and I'll get busy now."
After the emperor left, he went straight to the imperial concubine.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the imperial concubine with disheveled hair and plain clothes sitting on a cushion and reciting scriptures.
It was not until the maid beside the imperial concubine stood up and saluted that Imperial Concubine Liu slowly raised her head.
"Now that you have seen me, you don't even know how to be polite, is that ok?"
"Your Highness, may the Emperor be blessed with good health and happiness."
The emperor helped Concubine Liu up and said, "You probably don't know that King Xiaoyao has fallen."
Before the emperor could finish his words, the imperial concubine suddenly looked up and stared at the emperor in disbelief.
"how is this possible?"
After Concubine Liu finished speaking, she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and added: "This Xiaoyao King has a high position in the court, how could he fall so easily? Is the emperor joking?"
"Humph! You think I would joke with you about this? Do you really think I don't know about your private dealings with King Xiaoyao? I just think your mother's family has some influence.
Plus, if you die, King Xiaoyao will plant another spy next to me, and I will have to find him then, so it’s better to keep you, a stupid woman.”
The imperial concubine stepped back upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong between me and King Xiaoyao. We just have private contact. It's just that my mother's family is worried about me staying in the palace, so they handed me some letters."
"Oh, really? I don't remember not allowing the imperial concubine's family to visit.
Why do you need someone else to deliver the letter? Your mother often goes to the palace, do you need someone else to bring you the letter?"
"Your servant..." Concubine Liu really didn't know how to argue, so she knelt down at the emperor's feet.
"Your Majesty, it was King Xiaoyao who threatened me with my parents, but Your Majesty, I swear to heaven that I have not done anything to harm Your Majesty."
As he said this, he began to sob on the ground, "You should also know that I have been extremely indulgent to you. After all, you and the Queen have followed me all the way to this day."
When the imperial concubine heard this, she thought she could escape, but she heard the emperor's face suddenly turned cold: "It is because you have been with me for so long that I trust you so much, but you poisoned me.
You were the one who administered those chronic poisons, right?
Your status is only lower than that of the Queen, but I treat you and the Queen equally, but you should never plot against me."
As he called out "Xiao Dezi", he saw Xiao Dezi slowly walking in carrying a tray.
The imperial concubine saw what was on the tray and screamed in panic.
