At this moment, "Creak!" there was a sound from the palace door ahead. However, under the auspices of the soldier, the palace door was slowly opened.
Cao Cao, Fu Wan and others immediately straightened their expressions, then stood up to each other, intending to line up to enter. But today, something was very unexpected.
Two people appeared in front.[
To be precise, they are Zhao Yun and Mi Zhu.
Zhao Yun was wearing armor and wanted to hang a sword, and looked solemn. Mi Zhu was wearing the official uniform of a prince washing horses, and his expression was helpless and bitter.
Cao Cao, Fu Wan and others were all shocked when they saw Mi Zhu and Zhao Yun. Mi Zhu was not well-known, but he had stayed in Xudu for a long time and was often driven by Liu Bei.
Therefore, he became a familiar face, and the news that Liu Feng forcibly recruited Mi Zhu yesterday also spread. Mi Zhu's popularity skyrocketed.
And Zhao Yun even protected Liu Feng every step of the way when they were hunting that day. He was also a very familiar face. These two people are now ministers under the ridiculous crown prince.
The ministers of the Crown Prince's palace.
Not only Cao Cao, after his ambush, but also other civil and military ministers began to have thoughts in their minds, guessing what the crown prince wanted to do when he fell to the ground.
Among them, Liu Bei’s eyes were the most complicated.
These two people were originally talents that he valued. One of them was unstoppable, a fierce general, and had a stable character and temperament, and was a loyal man.
The other one is graceful and elegant, travels frequently as envoys and manages goods, and is very capable.
But now, one is the prince Zuoweishui, and the other is the prince Xima, and they are all with others. Liu Bei felt heartbroken when he looked at these two people.
"The left guard is leading Zhao Yun, and the prince is washing his horses, Mi Zhu. How dare you stop all the officials from entering the palace to meet the emperor?" Before Cao Cao could say anything, Xiahou Dun rushed out from among the officials, both civil and military, and said menacingly.
"On the order of the crown prince, we guard outside the palace gate. Officials who enter the palace must pay the palace tax. The price is three gold and five gold for nine ministers. One gold for officials above two thousand shi. Two silver for officials below two thousand shi. Do not pay.
Due to the palace tax, you are not allowed to enter the palace." Zhao Yun's expression remained unchanged, he clasped his fists in the direction of the prince's uterus and said coldly.
The bitter smile on Mi Zhu's face became even worse. This farce had begun.
"What? His Highness the Crown Prince wants me to pay money before entering the palace?"
With a "boom", all the civil and military officials changed their expressions, including Cao Cao and Fu Wan. They had never heard of such a thing. They had to pay taxes before entering the palace to see the emperor.
What a ridiculous and lame idea it would take a ridiculous person to come up with.
Even if someone was greedy for money, like Emperor Xiaoling, he was just openly selling his official position. There was never an order saying that he had to pay money to enter the palace.
Shocked, the officials can be said to be extremely shocked.[
It's simply unbelievable, unbelievable.
But after being shocked, some people quickly regained their composure. Liu Bei showed a sneer, okay, okay. Go ahead and keep messing around.
The bigger the fuss, the more likely Cao Cao is to destroy you.
My Mi Zhu, my Zhao Yun.
Liu Bei sneered and looked at Zhao Yun. Mi Zhu's eyes were so eager.
