Chapter 589
Although he was busy leaving the palace in this replay, he was not worried about his work, but he was not allowed to be named the king. Unexpectedly, this person didn't care at all, and was on duty at the Ministry of Revenue and was not more enthusiastic about His Majesty. That's fine, only then could the empresses feel relieved.
For Qin Feng's sake, Eunuch Hong whispered: "Although the fifth prince has left the palace, he can still interact frequently. He is more concerned about Your Majesty. Your Majesty and Your Majesty are blood relatives after all, and this relationship can be cultivated."
"My sister has been with her father for nine years and has a deep relationship. Isn't this palace replaceable for a while? Besides, Sister was originally for the sake of this palace. It is reasonable for Your Majesty to take his anger on this palace. Now, it should be possible for the father to arrange for this palace."
"As for cultivating feelings, the father is busy with all his affairs and has busy military and political affairs. How dare I disturb me? Although the Dongyue royal family is not prosperous, there are still three princes to serve. Thank you for your kindness."
Eunuch Hong was shocked when he heard this, "The stubborn donkey, this fifth prince is just a stubborn donkey, and it's beyond help!"
It’s really not a big deal to say anything. If it weren’t for Qin Feng’s silver bills, he wouldn’t have said too much, he wouldn’t have said much!
Zhao Lun didn't know that Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao had planned the Ku Cliff, but Cao Jing had mentioned him when he entered the palace. The tax hike was not beneficial to Qin Feng or even his sister, but as an official of the Ministry of Revenue, he should not speak out.
He knew that tax withdrawals were not beneficial to Qin Feng, but why did it affect his sister? Zhao Lun couldn't think of it for a while. Now that Qin Feng was alone with His Majesty, he had a deep internal skills, and he could only hear a few words through the doors and windows, or words that he didn't understand.
It was only half a stick of incense, and the deep voice of Emperor Yuan came from inside: "I am going to prepare meals in the imperial kitchen. Today I will leave Qin Feng and the fifth prince for meals, so go and arrange it."
Eunuch Hong secretly claimed to be amazing. His Majesty was obviously in a good mood during this short period of time, and his voice was no longer as low as before, much louder!
This Mr. Qin is simply the best medicine for His Majesty!
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Hong looked at Zhao Lun in a daze and hurriedly said, "Fifth Prince, go in quickly."
When Zhao Lun entered, he saw Emperor Yuan smiling. Qin Feng sat down much closer than before. He saw that the two of them had a happy conversation. He suppressed his doubts and did not look at Qin Feng.
Lunch was very harmonious today. Qin Feng kept talking about his experiences and folk customs on the road. Emperor Yuan rarely smiled happily. According to Eunuch Hong, Emperor Yuan used it more today than before.
Zhao Lun and Qin Feng did not come all the way, but walked together. It was not until they left the palace gate that Zhao Lun couldn't help but say, "What did you say to His Majesty? He didn't even raise the tax again?"
"I can only stop for a while, but not for a lifetime." Qin Feng said decisively: "You can only stop for a while now. Your Majesty is too serious and hesitates when he mentions the dissatisfaction of the people. But I don't know how long this hesitation can last."
"What method did you use to make him temporarily dispel his mind?" Zhao Lun thought of the documents he had sorted out and said angrily: "I have checked the tax records over the years. In recent years, it has become more and more. It is obvious that so much silver or grain is paid into the national treasury every year, so why is it still empty?"
Qin Feng said: "There are many reasons. All counties and counties have requested money from the court under various names. There are many types of names. Who dares to make a conclusion on whether it is true or false. No one knows how many of them are filled with personal pockets. Apart from these, there are also annual military expenditures."
"How many of the various expenses of the six major departments are used for the people? This is a confusing account. There was no inventory before, but now I just want to fill the treasury. How can I ensure that I can achieve a balance of expenditure after tax withdrawal?"
"Your sister said something well. The richest person in Dongyue is not a businessman but a corrupt official." Qin Feng was fascinated by Zhao Lun's hearing, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I'll tell you this to Your Majesty."
"How dare you!" Zhao Lun's voice rose several times in excitement, and he realized that he had left the palace and breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you crazy? He said in front of the emperor that there are corrupt officials in Dongyue State. Isn't this slap Your Majesty in the face?"
"But what if these corrupt officials can be used by Your Majesty?" Qin Feng smiled more and more happily when he saw his furious look.
Zhao Lun was stunned, completely unable to understand what tricks Qin Feng was playing. He used the people to encircle His Majesty and saw that corrupt officials could still play with them: "Do you encourage His Majesty to investigate corrupt officials?"
After investigation, you can confiscate your house. All the houses that are confiscated can be returned to the national treasury. This is a way to make money.
Qin Feng couldn't help but smack his tongue. They all came from the same womb, so why is it so different? If you want to say that scouting a house is the way to make money, doesn't Emperor Yuan know? Otherwise, why did he scout the He family and the Tang family?!!
If such a simple method could he make Emperor Yuan Longyan happy? Zhao Lun's mind is really useless!
In Qin Feng's disgusting gaze, Zhao Lun raised his chest and said in a tough tone: "This method is not uncommon."
I really want to play the piano for a cow, or go to Tianxiang Pavilion to talk to my wife and say it’s interesting!
Qin Feng was about to get on the carriage, and he rode a horse and jumped down when he arrived at the palace gate. It was Zuo Pingdao. When he saw Qin Feng, Zuo Pingdao rarely faced him. He just threw a cold look and then entered the palace with his waist sign. His steps were in a hurry.
Compared to Qin Feng, Zhao Lun was even more disliked by Zuo Pingdao, especially after knowing that Zuo Pingdao almost kidnapped his sister, he hated her so much.
"One day I will kill him!" Zhao Lun whispered.
Qin Feng smiled, "With you and Cao Jing, two masters here, it will be easy to take his life."
"Sister said you still want to use him?"
"That's right, but the time has not come." Qin Feng said: "Besides, do you think this person is a waiting type to die. He had been wary of us killing him and would never give in easily."
Compared to killing Zuo Pingdao, Qin Feng was more interested in why he entered the palace in such a hurry!
Later, Zuo Pingdao, who had left the palace, entered Dali Temple with exhaustion. He was worried and looked bleak when he left the city. Although he was exhausted, his steps were very light.
When I entered the punishment room, I saw the middle-aged man fixed on the punishment rack, and the smile on my face became even louder: "So what if you run fast enough? There are still fish that missed the net. The remnants of the previous dynasty spread rumors about Your Majesty, and the crime should be punished!"
The middle-aged man fixed on the torture rack had a mess of hair, his face was covered with blood, and a distinct whip mark on his right face. He was whipped so hard that he was almost boned below his flesh and his lips were chapped with bloody slits.
