With the high-pitched official's sharp voice, the ministers retreated like the tide.

Shangshu Ling Wang Yan was originally going to be the first to leave, but he stood in the palace and did not leave. His eyes were looking in one direction. In that direction, there was a person with his head lowered.

Wangsheng, the Marquis of Guangyuan.

Next to Wang Yan, the minister, King Pingyuan was blushing with embarrassment and had no intention of staying in the palace for long.

As for Shangshu Zuopu shooting Liu Shi and Zhongshu ordering He Shao, he naturally retreated in full.

They are different from Wang Yan, and they are also different from Pingyuan King.

The King of Pingyuan can say whatever he wants in the court, and he can say things that are for the sake of the Jin Dynasty, which is awe-inspiring.

Wang Yan can do the same, but they can't.

King Pingyuan is the clan king and your Majesty's elder. Wang Yan, the Minister of Secretariat, is the leader of the Langya Wang family. He is also the father of the current queen and your Majesty's father-in-law.

With the blessing of this identity, they can speak freely.

But what about them?

But it's just that he has some age and some qualifications.

With the emperor's temperament, he will not be merciful to you just because of your age and seniority.

Won't.

Your Majesty is cold-blooded.

All the officials retreated, and Wang Sheng naturally retreated slowly among the crowd.

But he wants to keep a low profile, but some people don't want him to keep a low profile.

"Marquis Guangyuan."

Someone is calling me?

Wang Sheng was slightly startled, and when he looked up, he realized that it was Shangshu Ling Wang Yan.

Wang Yan, why did you call me?

Wang Sheng was suspicious. He looked at the slightly angry expression on Wang Yan's face, and he could guess a rough idea of ​​Wang Yan's current mood.

Is it because of the new land tax?

Does this Wang Yan think that this new land tax was proposed by him?

guess?

Wang Sheng had countless doubts in his heart, but the smile on his face was very warm, making people feel like bathing in the spring breeze.

Wang Yan looked at Wang Sheng and the smile on Wang Sheng's face, and the anger in his heart disappeared unconsciously.

"Marquis Guangyuan, please take a step to speak."

Looking at the confused eyes of the people around him, Wang Yan knew that whatever he said and did now would probably spread quickly.

If he had been angry just now, the impact would be very bad.

"kindness."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

Regarding Wang Yan, Wang Sheng also had different feelings in his heart.

He is the representative of the Langya Wang family, but he is also a man of literary talent but poor political ability.

Wang Yan could not shirk his responsibility for the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Wang Sheng had many thoughts, but he and Shangshu Ling Wang Yan walked to a place where no one was around.

"If Shangshu Ling has anything to say, you can tell the junior directly."

The manners and manners of Marquis Guangyuan were no worse than those of high-ranking families, and every move he made showed elegance.

How can such talents exist among the poor?

This is also something that Wang Yan can't understand.

"Tell me the truth, did you tell His Majesty about this new land tax?"

New land tax?

I told His Majesty.

Sure enough, Wang Yan was suspicious.

Obviously, Wang Yan is definitely not alone in this suspicion.

Wang Sheng's position next to the emperor is so special, and this new land tax is so unique. Who else can think of it except Marquis Guangyuan?

This new land tax was naturally proposed by me.

but...

I don’t admit it!

If you admit it, there will be ghosts.

Wang Sheng didn't want to have anything to do with him in this kind of thing.

Wang Sheng shook his head very simply.

"Your Majesty, this matter was either brought up by this junior, or it would give this junior a hundred heartless thoughts and boldness. I dare not let Your Majesty propose this new land tax. This new land tax seems to be a source of income, but in fact it has shaken my heart."

The foundation of Jin, how can I tell your Majesty about this matter?"

When it comes to lying, Wang Sheng is now even more comfortable.

I don’t even blush anymore.

"It's really not you?"

Wang Yan looked suspicious.

"I'm really not a junior."

"kindness."

Wang Yan took a deep look at Wang Sheng, looked at Wang Sheng from top to bottom, and asked again: "Isn't it really you?"

"I'm really not a junior."

Wang Sheng had no choice but to show a dumbfounded expression.

"I hope I'm not a prince. Let's just leave it at that. Let's not talk about it anymore."

Wang Yan shook his head gently. Since he couldn't find out anything about Guangyuan Marquis, he certainly wouldn't ask any more questions.

only...

Wang Yan still had some doubts in his heart.

If it’s not Marquis Guangyuan, could it be Hua Heng?

Hua Heng, is it possible?

Wang Yan temporarily shifted his suspicion from Wang Sheng to Hua Heng.

Phew~

After Wang Yan left, Wang Sheng secretly let out a sigh of relief.

It's best to keep this matter in the past.

It doesn't matter if the news about his new land tax leaks out.

He was not responsible for this matter, Hua Heng was responsible.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Wang Sheng quickly left the palace and headed towards Princess Guangping's courtyard.

On the other side, Hua Heng gave an impassioned speech in the palace, refuting the dignified Prince Duo of Pingyuan into silence. Now that he is being used by His Majesty again, it is a time of great success.

Now, he couldn't wait to return home and tell Princess Rongyang the good news.

Most of what he said in the palace at this time was thought up with Princess Rongyang last night.

Sure enough, it was as she expected.

Hahaha~

Now Hua Heng was laughing wildly in his heart.

However, as soon as Hua Heng walked out of the palace gate and before he even got into his carriage, he was stopped by someone.

This person Hua Heng is still very familiar.

Shangshu ordered Wang Yan!

"Your Majesty."

Wang Yan's current status is unusual, even though he, Hua Heng, is the leader of the army, he naturally has to treat Wang Yan with respect.

"Zhong Lingjun, let me ask you, did you propose this new land tax to His Majesty?"

What's the meaning?

Hua Heng started to feel confused when he saw Wang Yan, the Minister of Public Affairs, looking so serious.

"This matter..."

He thought for a moment and finally admitted it.

Although he did not propose the new land tax, he did present the memorial in the court.

Can I take away the unearned credit?

"This matter was indeed raised below."

"It's really you."

Not Marquis Guangyuan?

Wang Yan was shocked.

"Does the Chinese leader know what the consequences of this new land tax will be?"

Wang Yan's expression immediately changed from shocked at first to sharp!

"as a result of?"

Seeing Wang Yan's serious expression, Hua Heng was slightly stunned.

"Could it be that when the Chinese leaders were thinking about this new land tax, they didn't even think about the consequences?"

"This is beneficial to the country and the people, so what consequences will it have?"

Wang Yan sneered from the side.

By now, he was certain that Hua Heng did not propose this new land tax.

It must have been proposed by Marquis Guangyuan.

That guy, even if he didn't eat the heart of a bear or the courage of a leopard, he was still very courageous.

but...

He was smart enough to propose this new land tax but did not implement it.

Instead, he gave this title to someone else.

Do you want Hua Heng to be the scapegoat?

In a short period of time, Wang Yan thought a lot.

"I don't know how to benefit the country and the people, but one thing I know is that the life of the leader may be in danger."

Worried about life?

Hua Heng was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he sneered instead.

"Your Majesty, are you trying to scare me?"

"Whether it's scary or not, we'll know later."

After knowing the general news, Wang Yan also accomplished his goal and left directly.

Only a slightly confused Hua Heng was left, messy in the wind.

die?

How can it be?

This is obviously a good job!

Hua Heng meditated on the ground for a long time, without thinking about it.

"Master, these people have all left, won't you leave, Master?"

His thoughts were interrupted by the steward beside him. Hua Heng shook his head gently and said, "Go back."

Sitting on the chariot, Hua Heng's thoughts were all what Wang Yan, the minister, had just said.

Is it true, as Wang Yan said, that the new land tax is not a good thing, but a bad thing?

Will he even take his own life?

Hua Heng's residence was not far from the palace, and he did not meditate in the chariot for long. Soon, the chariot stopped.

Hua Heng entered the mansion and went directly to find Princess Rongyang.

At this time, Princess Rongyang was in front of the dressing table in the inner courtyard.

She looked at herself through the mirror.

I saw that she was wearing a rather simple plain white long brocade dress. She used dark brown silk thread to embroider wonderful and powerful branches on the dress, and pink silk thread to embroider blossoming plum blossoms. From the skirt

The hem extends all the way to the waist. A dark purple wide belt tightens the thin waist, showing off the slender figure. On the contrary, it also gives people a sense of elegance and luxury. A light purple open gauze dress is worn outside.

Every move made the gauze clothes have a sense of flowing light, and an emerald jade pendant was tied around the waist, adding an air of elegance.

Wearing a milky white jade bracelet on her hand, her surprisingly long hair was tied up with a slightly complicated hairstyle with purple and white ribbons. She really lived up to her beautiful and surprisingly beautiful hair, and she had some

The essence of roses exudes a charming fragrance, and a jade hairpin is inserted into her hair. It is uniquely made into the shape of green bamboo with leaves. It really makes people think that she has a green bamboo on her head.

The thin and long bangs on the forehead are neat and rigorous.

The willow eyebrows are drawn with charcoal black, which highlights the fair and delicate skin. The charming red phoenix eyes are full of brilliance when the eyes are flowing. Pink rouge is applied to make the skin look white and rosy, and the lips are only smeared with light red.

The lipstick makes the whole face look particularly beautiful.

This princess is truly a natural beauty.

My husband is good in every aspect, but there are also some disadvantages, that is, he is too unsatisfactory.

but...

This time His Majesty entrusted him with such an important task, and I think he will start to use it more seriously.

Princess Rongyang was thoughtful, but Hua Heng barged in at this moment.

"Princess."

"Husband?"

Seeing Hua Heng's anxious look, Princess Rongyang had a bad feeling in her heart.

Could it be that my husband also died in the court?

Right?

Did Marquis Guangyuan take action?

Princess Rongyang has many confusions in her heart, but she is relatively stable now.

"Husband, have you done a good job with the new land tax?"

Hua Heng nodded slightly.

"Everything is done just as the princess expected. Your Majesty also appreciates me very much."

Isn’t this right?

Princess Rongyang was confused.

"In that case, why are you panicking? Isn't this a good thing?"

"Originally I wasn't panicking, but on my way back, I met Shangshu Ling..."

Seeing the eldest princess Rongyang, Hua Heng also became calm and went through the matters in an orderly manner.

After listening to Hua Heng's words, Princess Rongyang also became confused.

"Shang Shuling is not an ordinary person. Since he said this, it certainly makes sense. Is there really something secret about this new land tax?"

"I don't know about this either. There seems to be nothing wrong with this new land tax!"

Hua Heng is innocent.

"Could it be that Shangshu Ling is really here to defraud me?"

Princess Rongyang glanced at Hua Heng and asked, "Do you think Shangshu Ling is such a carefree person?"

"Of course...not anymore."

There are so many things going on at the Chancellor's desk, so it is naturally impossible for Wang Yan, the Chancellor, to wait for him all the time.

"What do you say about this matter?"

You ask me, who should I ask?

Princess Rongyang rolled her eyes.

This new land tax will of course offend many people.

But this offense was not that serious.

I am not afraid of the Marquis.

but...

What Shangshu Ling said seems to be exactly what happened.

Princess Rongyang thought for a moment.

"Otherwise, why don't you go ask His Majesty?"

Ask Your Majesty?

Hua Heng's head shook like a rattle.

"Since Your Majesty has entrusted this matter to me, if I ask about such a thing again now, His Majesty will naturally feel disgusted. He will definitely think that I am hesitant, and this matter may not be entrusted to me."

Hua Heng's worries are not unreasonable.

"Your Majesty can't ask, so you can only ask Marquis Guangyuan."

"Why do you want to ask Marquis Guangyuan?"

Although Hua Heng's relationship with Wang Sheng has improved somewhat, he still has a psychological resistance towards Wang Sheng that is as physical as a reaction.

"Marquis Guangyuan is the person closest to His Majesty. He knows a lot of information. And with Marquis Guangyuan's intelligence, even if he doesn't know about this matter, he can still see what the danger mentioned by Shangshu Ling is."

"But, why can't we ask Shangshu Ling?"

Princess Rongyang looked at Hua Heng with some disappointment and said: "Shang Shuling is a member of the Langya Wang family. As the leader of the army, my husband has the responsibility to protect the safety of the palace. Your Majesty is now quite afraid of the Langya Wang family. You are now

If you ask Shangshu Ling, His Majesty will definitely transfer some of his suspicions about the Langya Wang family to you, husband, do you think you can ask Shangshu Ling?"

With this said, Shangshu Ling naturally couldn't ask.

"stop."

Hua Heng has now accepted his fate.

"If you go to find Marquis Guangyuan, go to Marquis Guangyuan."

As he said this, he sat down and drank water.

"Husband, it's better to go now."

Just as Hua Heng was about to sit down, the eldest princess Rongyang said, "I can't sit down, I can't stand either."

"Why don't we rush into this matter temporarily?"

"Since this is a life-threatening matter as stated by the Minister, naturally the sooner the better."

Hua Heng had a bitter look on his face.

"It's just that I didn't eat anything this morning. If I didn't eat this lunch, I would be really hungry."

"I will ask the chef to make some snacks for you to eat on the way."

Princess Rongyang said this, and Hua Heng had no choice but to accept the job even though he was reluctant.

"Okay."

pity.

No matter how fast Hua Heng walked, it was of no use.

Because Wang Sheng is not in Jingu Garden now.

He was at Princess Guangping's place.
Chapter completed!
