After all, the arms could not twist the thighs. After the court, the ministers hugged each other and expressed emotion about the tax reform.
Zhao Xifeng walked quickly and inadvertently landed next to Xiao Chen: "Master Xiao, you didn't say a word in the court just now. Do you think you are indifferent to those things?"
His face was resolute and expressionless.
When speaking, he looked ahead, obviously walking side by side, but deliberately keeping the distance between them.
Above the court, if any minister moves even slightly closer, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion.
Xiao Chen didn't even look, and walked forward with long strides, without any fluctuations on his face.
In the end, it just turned into a sneer: "What's the point even if I say it? Your Majesty already has the answer in his heart, can't you see it?"
The man behind the scenes was Chu Yanwu, and he was the one who made the decision.
Chu Yanwu didn't need to listen to other people's opinions at all, he just needed to take advantage of the trend and push forward smoothly to implement his own ideas smoothly.
Zhao Xifeng was speechless for a moment, his hurried footsteps stopped for a moment, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
He didn't know what Chu Yanwu was thinking, but as the king of a country, he did abandon people's livelihood, made a decisive and absurd decision against everyone's opinions.
Xiao Chen's back became farther and farther away, but Zhao Xifeng felt a little lost in his heart.
Could it be that, standing at the top of Chu Yanwu, Chu Yanwu really couldn't see the suffering of the people?
Or is he just trying to satisfy his own interests?
Xiao Chen went back to his private house directly, but as soon as he arrived, Chen Jin followed closely behind him.
That wrinkled old face carries a somewhat cunning and cunning air, but at this moment there is a sense of joy.
I think Chen Jin will be happy if the reform plan is implemented.
Xiao Chen greeted him with a few token words.
Chen Jin crossed her legs and looked at the huge mansion, "You said that we have come to your car so many times, but every time we come, there is a different freshness."
Xiao Chen responded with a smile: "The place has never changed. What has changed is only your father-in-law's state of mind."
Xiao Chen didn't bother to say any polite words to him and went straight to the point: "My father-in-law is here today, what's the matter?"
He felt a little more refreshed, but Chen Jin was not satisfied: "You also know that the tax reform has been finalized. Your Majesty requires its immediate implementation, so we cannot remain idle."
He took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "These are the five state capitals located near the capital, and the tax revenue therein will be fully handed over to you."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the paper.
"Old guy, you throw all the hot potatoes at me, but you're in peace."
Tax matters are related to people's livelihood. These five state capitals are all large places. It is inherently difficult for them to accept tax increases.
If it is not handled well, those who manage taxation will inevitably become the target of public criticism and be despised and reviled.
Chen Jin handed this matter over to him, which was nothing more than using him as cannon fodder.
"Dead old fox..."
Xiao Chen couldn't express his pain, so he could only curse secretly in his heart.
Seeing Xiao Chen's silence, Chen Jin couldn't suppress the urgency in her heart: "Why doesn't Governor Xiao speak? Is there some difficulty?"
During the questioning, his deep eyes kept wandering around Xiao Chen's body.
This tax was given to him not only because it was difficult, but also because he wanted to test Xiao Chen.
Chen Jin raised his legs and deliberately struck: "Last time I asked you to enclose the land, you didn't eradicate it. It's really disappointing."
"And this time, if the performance here is not satisfactory, I'm afraid it will make people doubt your ability and loyalty."
Chen Jin narrowed his eyes and said slyly: "Master Xiao, you also know that our family works for the emperor."
"Even if our family has great trust in you, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty!"
When Chu Yanwu was mentioned, Xiao Chen trembled and made a direct threat?
He smiled quickly and said, "Eunuch Chen, when did you ask me to do something for you and I was not allowed to do it?"
"It was true that I didn't think it through well before, but this time I will definitely do it beautifully for you, so don't worry!"
He hurriedly bought a new cup of tea for Chen Jin: "This is the Longjing tea sent by the son of Jiangdu Censor a few days ago. It is valuable. Please taste it."
You can't be more diligent, this old fox has a big backer!
Chen Jin squeezed the tea cup and smiled a little softly, "It must be Governor Xiao who is sensible. Our family likes people who are discerning and aware of current affairs."
"Don't worry, as long as you do things well, the benefits will be inevitable!"
After drinking this cup of tea, Chen Jin left.
Seeing Chen Jin's swaying steps, Xiao Chen angrily kicked his butt twice.
Ahem!
"Sir, if you are really unhappy, would you ask your brothers to deal with him?"
"Don't worry, it will be done neatly and neatly, so that he won't be able to find any clues!"
Ji Hongluan always appears and disappears, and these words make people's hair stand on end.
"You can pull him down."
Xiao Chen sat up and raised his legs, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.
"Chen Jin has begun to doubt me. The reason why he left this difficult matter to me is just to test."
"Since we are not ready to officially break up with him, the more we are on the cusp of such a storm, we should still be wise and protect ourselves."
He just said that he had been working for Chen Jin, but today in the court, those people mentioned the matter of land reform, but he was completely unaware of it.
It can be seen that Chen Jin is giving himself a warning, implying that there are still people available in the court even without him.
He was a good person who was polite first and then prepared troops. He deliberately kept him out of the joint memorial ceremony just to wait for this moment.
Thinking of many things, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh: "That old lady is very shrewd now. Today's appearance in the court deliberately let me see his gang members and methods in the court, which gave me a wake-up call."
Facts have proved that Chen Jin's status in the court is not low, and at least one-third of the civil and military officials support him!
Ji Hongluan was a little depressed: "That Chen Jin, I have been unhappy with him for a long time, and I really can't get used to seeing him looking like a dog fighting for power."
"Don't worry, you won't be arrogant for long."
Xiao Chen twisted his waist and sat upright: "Today's incident is not entirely without benefit."
"Chen Jin is self-righteous and takes the initiative to expose his power in the court. I will keep it all in mind!"
When the time comes and he rises up, the first thing he has to deal with is his roots in the court!
When he becomes the bare commander and is isolated and helpless, there will be nothing to fear.
Ji Hongluan suddenly realized it and couldn't help but clapped her hands in admiration: "Sir, it has to be you."
"I can't compare to my martial arts talent, and your wisdom is even more incomparable!"
The most admirable thing about Xiao Chen is that he can always find advantages from disadvantages and finally become a big help to himself.
It’s hard not to be impressed!
