Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

"Bullshit! Do you think letting the people of the world bear the tax alone is abiding by the ancestral system? In the past few years, I was so poor that I couldn't even get money for disaster relief. Why don't you abide by the ancestral system and learn from the great philanthropist Chen in the previous dynasty, spend all your wealth to help the victims of the disaster?"

"Or if I'm short of money, I should just confiscate the property like I did two years ago."

The old minister dared not say a word.

No one in the court dared to say that he was clean.

Seeing that the old minister dared not say a word, he ordered sternly: "Take him away!"

"Your Majesty! No! No!"

The old minister was dragged away wailing.

Emperor Xuan was furious, and his angry voice echoed in the room, making all the officials tremble subconsciously.

Your Majesty is becoming more and more powerful as the true dragon emperor, and everyone is silent in fear.

There was total silence in the room; not even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

Suddenly, Xu Jinyu's gloating voice sounded,

[It’s coming! It’s coming! I knew it!!!]

[Now it depends on whether the emperor can defeat these officials! ]

[Back then, in order to reform the tax system, Yongzheng killed many people, but I don’t know if the emperor was willing to kill.]

[There were also scholars who carried the statue of Confucius through the streets to protest against this policy, and some even boycotted the exams. There were many incidents.]

[Because of this tax reform, Yongzheng was accused by scholars of usurping the throne and changing the imperial edict, plotting against his father and forcing his mother, killing his brother and slaughtering his younger brother, being an alcoholic and lustful person, being mean and ungrateful... All kinds of bad things were said about him. He was obviously a wise ruler, but he was still criticized.]

"呲呲~~~"

Emperor Xuan's anger was like a punctured balloon, all of it bursting out.

Xu Jinyu, you little bastard, can’t you just hold it in?

He, the crown prince, and several court officials spent half of last night discussing the tax system issue, and the other half discussing how to obscure Xu Jinyu's existence in this matter so that the world's attention would not fall on Xu Jinyu.

As a result, you couldn't hold it in for even a day and blew yourself up.

At the same time, everyone's eyes were secretly directed towards Xu Jinyu.

Wei An covered his chest and gasped for breath. His fellow villager was really asking for death.

The court room was still silent, but the eyes of all the officials were shining with excitement.

Look at how much the Yongzheng Emperor was criticized for his tax reform.

So, Your Majesty, for the sake of your everlasting good reputation, please do not change this tax reform!

Emperor Xuan became furious at the looks given by them.

He doesn't need any fame. What he wants is for Daqian to be passed down for a long time.

As long as Daqian is in power, there will be many people willing to clear his name.

Seeing that the good reputation that the emperor valued most was no longer useful, the minister looked at the important ministers in front of him. As long as there were enough people opposing it, this tax reform would not be able to go forward. If the bigwigs in front opposed it, the two of them would follow suit immediately.

The Minister of Revenue stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is very talented and has come up with such a brilliant idea. With these three strategies, our Daqian will surely be able to maintain long-term peace and stability, and pass it down for thousands of years."

"I second your suggestion, Your Highness. I will personally pay this year's taxes as soon as I return home."

Xu Jinyu in the crowd rolled his eyes.

[It is easier to dream than to pass it down for thousands of years. Yongzheng's policy was almost completely abolished by his son. Qianlong was a waste.]

The Minister of Rites stood up with a staggering step, raised his head and glanced at Emperor Xuan. Lord Xu knew how to sabotage the situation.

Sure enough, Emperor Xuan on the dragon throne looked at Xu Jinyu with a dim gaze, his cheeks tense, and it was obvious that he was gritting his teeth.

"Ahem..."

After coughing twice, the Minister of Rites continued to second the motion.

Next, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the left and right prime ministers stood up one after another to second the motion.

They are all veteran officials in the court. The tax reforms Xu Jinyu mentioned are harmful to their interests, but His Majesty will find a way to compensate them.

Besides, what they need is prospects. As long as this tax system can be implemented, Daqian can at least extend its life by a hundred years.

If the big guys above don’t object, then no one below will object.

The prince once again stepped forward and said he would go to Jiangnan to reform the tax system.

This matter went on smoothly without any setbacks.

Only one old minister objected.

Xu Jinyu and Wei An blinked their equally clear big eyes, which were full of confusion.

[Go! Why not! Kill the emperor. Even if you can’t kill him, at least make him angry.]

[Vomiting blood~~Being beaten with a stick~~Demoted~~Aren't you ministers with integrity?}

[Where's the fighting power! Where's the momentum of the death remonstration! ]

[Look, the pillars in the hall are so clean, waiting for someone to hit them.]

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The prince almost laughed out loud.

Courtiers: They are not stupid.

They can object, and the emperor can also pull them down like he did just now.

And don't forget that Your Majesty still has reserve talents from Da Wu and Da Yue. What if they revolt too much and are dismissed from office?

Lord Xu is just a bastard who adds fuel to the fire.

Seeing the ministers pretending to be dead from top to bottom, Xu Jinyu,

【A bunch of noobs!!!】

Emperor Xuan: Who is the loser?

"Xu Jinyu!"

Emperor Xuan raised his voice.

“Ah…ah…I am here!”

"After the morning court today, I will issue an imperial decree to reopen the imperial examination. Didn't you always say that women are no worse than men? After the court is dismissed, send a message to those women who want to take the imperial examination and let them take supplementary lessons."

"Yes!"

[Ahhh~~ I thought it would take three years to see a woman pass the imperial examination, but I didn’t expect to see one next year. ]

Xu Jinyu agreed happily, stepped back, and then walked back halfway.

Emperor Xuan looked at Xu Jinyu and raised his eyebrows: "Why, is there anything else?"

"I have my heart and I want to report it."

Emperor Xuan wanted to ask if you had anything to report.

Suddenly remembering that the prince said Xu Jinyu wanted to make a book that would cause a sensation, he turned around and sat down.

"I have found a prescription for preventing smallpox from an ancient book."

[Damn it, this is clearly the most effective prescription for preventing smallpox, but I have to make up an excuse saying that it is a prescription found in an ancient book. I don’t know if the emperor believes it or not.]

[If you don’t believe me, how can I write this? It’s really embarrassing for college students. ]

"Pfft!"

"Ouch!"

"Your Majesty!"

There was chaos on the throne.

These chaotic noises scared Xu Jinyu.

Looking up, Emperor Xuan was sitting on the ground in front of the dragon throne, his hands on his old waist.

Eunuch Liu hurried to help Emperor Xuan up, but in his panic he stepped on his own clothes and fell to the ground.

Emperor Xuan pushed Eunuch Liu away, struggled to stand up, and walked down from the throne in two or three steps: "Xu Jinyu, you just said that you found a way to cure smallpox?"

Xu Jinyu didn't expect Emperor Xuan to be so excited. He was stunned for a moment before answering: "It's not a way to treat smallpox, but a preventive measure, which is vaccination. After the vaccination is successful, no one will get smallpox again, just like people who have had smallpox will never get smallpox again."

Emperor Xuan exhaled and asked Xu Jinyu solemnly: "What is the success rate?"

"Ninety-nine percent of the time it will be successful."

Hearing this, Emperor Xuan became even more excited. He thought about it for a while and began to ask Xu Jinyu,

"Are the medicinal materials needed for this vaccination precious? Is it suitable for nationwide promotion?"

"Vaccination doesn't require medicinal materials. What is needed is a cow infected with smallpox, and..."

Before Xu Jinyu finished speaking, Emperor Xuan directly stretched out his hand and asked Xu Jinyu for the memorial.

"Bring the memorial here."

Xu Jinyu obediently handed in the memorial.

Emperor Xuan read the contents of Xu Jinyu's memorial at a glance, his expression becoming more and more excited, and finally turned into wild laughter.

"Hahaha······"

"Hahaha······"

"God help me too!"

"God help me!!!"

[The emperor is crazy. Even if smallpox can be cured, there is no need to be so crazy! ]
