Chapter 1,153 Another meaning
"Oh...! Both of my legs are stretched straight, and it seems that I can't bend back!"
"What are you? I just pushed myself up, and I can't use any strength to do this arm now!"
"Oh...what happened today? His Majesty actually forgot us in the court and turned to discuss exemption of agricultural tax?"
"Who knows?"
After Ying Feiyu left, Luo Hongyi and others felt relieved, opened their faces bitterly, and began to slowly move their body, which was almost stiff.
When other ministers passed by them, they would gently shrugged their shoulders and show a sarcastic smile.
"These guys are just asking for trouble!"
"That's right! What's wrong with mentioning it? I have to mention it to enrich the harem! If Your Majesty wants to find it, can you still use it to recommend it?"
"Hmph! I haven't seen the old guys listed this time. They all have daughters of appropriate age. This is a plan to marry their daughters!"
"So that's it. I said why do they care so much about this matter? I thought it was really for the sake of the royal descendants!"
"You can't help but lose your mind. Your Majesty is only twelve years old now, not fifty-two years old. He's still long. What's there to worry about? Their move is for their own selfish interests..."
After leaving the gate of Qilin Hall, several young ministers were talking while walking.
"Huh? It's not necessarily all for your own selfish interests, right? I heard that Lord Yang is now fifty-four years old and is about to retire. He only has four incompetent sons in his family, and he has never heard of having a daughter?"
"Yes, his family does not have a daughter, but you don't know that his eldest son is already thirty-eight this year. He has given birth to five daughters alone, including three unmarried people of the right age! Old man Yang does not have a daughter, but he has a lot of granddaughters! If his granddaughter enters the palace, it will be of great help to the family!"
"You're right! I know that none of his sons have become good at this. I'm just waiting for him to share his property in a hundred years!"
"In this way, he is also paving the way for his descendants and wanting to give his granddaughter to His Majesty!"
"That's right!"
"These old guys are too rude, but fortunately, Your Majesty is not fooled..."
Most of the people who talk about it were young ministers or who did not have daughters of appropriate age at home.
If their daughters were excellent and of the same age, they probably had their heads sharpened and stuffed their daughters to Ying Feiyu!
Wang Ben, Zhang Han, and a few old guys walked side by side outside the palace with helpless smiles on their faces.
"Your Majesty is still biased towards you!"
Kang Anping looked at Wang Ben and Zhang Han and said with a quip.
"No! As soon as those old guys proposed to enrich their harem, His Majesty proposed to exempt the agricultural tax to divert the court officials' attention and let them go all morning! When they first came out, I saw that their hands were sore and numb that they would not move!"
"It's really hard for them to maintain a posture for so long, haha!"
Meng Yi and Meng Tian also spoke one after another, laughing so hard.
"With their little thoughts, I thought it was so clever! How dare I take it to His Majesty to show off?"
"How could Your Majesty not see through things that we can all see through? I thought that if you change to a high-sounding excuse, Your Majesty would adopt it? Then you can choose the right one among their daughters and include it in the harem?"
"Their wishful thinking this time is really wrong..."
Several old guys said one by one, thinking that His Majesty was favoring Wang Ben and Zhang Han, so he left Luo Hongyi and others in the court and gave them a warning.
"Maybe...this move has another meaning?"
However, Wang Ben didn't know where the inspiration came from, and another idea came to his mind.
"Another meaning? What does it mean?"
The few people stopped and stared at him in confusion.
"You said... if His Majesty proposed exemption of agricultural tax, who would be the most likely objection?"
However, Wang Ben did not answer the question.
"That's more to say? It must be those guys who are bitter at this time and keep rubbing their arms! Haha!"
The ministers who proposed to enrich the harem were middle-aged and many of them were old censors. They were stubborn and most of them would oppose them.
Kang Anping blurted out without thinking.
"Yes, yes, yes, they must be them!"
The other old guys also nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much.
"This time they joined forces to make the harem full of their opinions, and stood in the hall with their heads bowed. His Majesty did not reply and directly mentioned the exemption of agricultural tax. They could not interrupt. Wouldn't they have lost many doubts...?"
Wang Ben said the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind, and then smiled and said, "Of course, Your Majesty and Wan'er are married, so they must also have the desire to protect themselves and prevent Wan'er from being wronged!"
"Lao Wang, what's wrong with you today? I'll make you smarter during the New Year?"
"Yes! Not only are my eloquent today, but my head has also become active?"
"Didn't it be that I haven't grown up before, after a year, I'm one year older, and my IQ has also improved...?"
Zhang Han and others were very surprised after hearing this.
Apart from being a little smart on the battlefield, this old guy is usually a fool.
Today, not only did he beat Chunyu Yue with lip service, but he could also think of this level. It was not easy!
"Go, go, go! If you can talk, you will shut up quickly if you can't talk!"
After being teased, Wang Ben pointed at their noses and scolded.
"Yes! This is the normal state! We almost couldn't recognize you with that serious expression just now!"
After being threatened, the old guys felt that this was the Wang Ben they were familiar with.
"Actually, I think Lao Wang's analysis is correct. Your Majesty should be thinking so! Take this opportunity to block the mouths of those old guys and let them stop talking!"
Zhang Han also agreed with his ideas very much.
"Well! This will kill two birds with one stone, and it will leave a few old censors alone, so that they can lessen their harem in the future, and it will also block their mouths!"
"It's true!"
"Your Majesty's move is really clever..."
The old men walked out of the palace while discussing the matter.
...
On the next day, a newspaper published a message that was enough to make the entire Qin people crazy about it, exempting agricultural taxes.
A few big words were printed on the front page headlines, which was very eye-catching.
After the people received the newspaper, they were stunned.
I rubbed my eyes hard, but thought I was seeing it wrong!
"Dad...Dad...Good news, good news!"
After a young man read the contents of the newspaper, he ran home desperately.
"You kid, it just snowed this morning, and it was slipping on the road, and it fell again!"
The middle-aged woman was cooking in front of the stove and pretending to be angry and reminded her.
"No, mom, there is really good news! Dad, come and see!"
While explaining to his mother, the young man greeted his father who was weaving a hemp rope in the house.
"What good news? But there is news on the recruitment side?"
The strong middle-aged man put down his work and walked out slowly.
The couple couldn't read a word, and only a few children at home could read. At this time, they were holding a newspaper in their hands, pointing at the contents on the newspaper tremblingly.
