After a moment of hesitation, Chu Yan Wujing suddenly raised his voice. Chen Jin who was following him raised his lips and his eyes seemed to be shining.
He glanced at Chu Yanwu, as if he was beaming and saying, "Look, but he's looking for an excuse to shirk it!"
Once Xiao Chen shirks it, it means that there is a possibility of playing a trick before.
Chu Yanwu frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Just what?"
Xiao Chen sighed softly: "It's just that I am a little overwhelmed now."
"Before, Jiu Qiansui asked me to help you deal with the autumn tax affairs of the five nearby states. If the two things come together, one of them will be delayed."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the court was shocked.
The autumn tax is something that everyone has always avoided mentioning, especially since many people in the court are opposed to it.
Xiao Chen directly put the matter of the autumn tax on the table and dragged Shen Shen into it by name. Wasn't this an obvious attempt to make him unable to step down?
Heartbroken sounds rang out from the crowd, and the quiet ancestral hall became uncontrollably lively.
"What's going on with Governor Xiao? He's so disrespectful to Chen Jin. Could it be that he's having a falling out?"
"Who knows, but with so many people opposing the autumn tax, I'm afraid Xiao Chen's words will also put Chen Jin in an unfair position!"
"It seems that Chen Jin is planning it behind the scenes in the time of autumn. The little eunuch is quite ambitious!"
"..."
A vague sound entered the eardrums, and Chen Jin had a dark face.
This kind of thing should have been done in a low-key manner, but now that Xiao Chen was placed in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he wished that everyone would know about it.
Doesn't this mean slapping him in front of everyone?
He clenched his fists, biting his teeth almost to pieces, and the murderous intent in his eyes was self-evident: "Xiao Chen..."
He glanced with fear, and Chu Yanwu asked for help in a low voice: "Your Majesty!"
Chu Yanwu rubbed his temples angrily, and then coughed twice: "Everyone, please calm down. How can we allow you to make noise in the main hall?"
Chu Yanwu had already spoken, and the aura of dragon power instantly silenced their voices.
The scene returned to its previous state of solemnity, but many eyes were leisurely falling on Chen Jin.
He seemed to be examining him, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule.
This feeling is really unpleasant.
Although Chen Jin was secretly gathering forces, he was not yet ready to blatantly offend civil and military officials.
Now, he just wanted to fight the trapped beast, and was in a dilemma for a while.
Chu Yanwo helped: "The tax matters have been discussed and ordered before."
"Xiao Chen's ability to do things is solid, so it's not a bad idea for Chen Jin to leave this matter to her."
He didn't mention a word about the interests involved.
There was a chill in Xiao Chen's heart, and he catered to him on the surface: "Your Majesty is right, it's just that Chen is busy with more than just this matter, the land enclosure is also in progress recently."
"I gave the death order nine thousand years ago. If it can't be done as soon as possible, I will have to settle the score with you."
"You said that no matter how capable I am, I haven't grown up with three heads and six arms. So many things happened to come together, and I was almost exhausted."
Xiao Chen sighed sadly, but there were too many pheromones hidden in these words.
Some people were puzzled: "What, the land enclosure matter is also under Chen Jin's instructions?"
"All the huge benefits are related to him. This old eunuch has a big appetite."
"In private, how many other things has he done to benefit himself at the expense of others!"
Many righteous people began to speak frequently.
Among the confused voices, they were all critical and dissatisfied with Chen Jin.
Zhang Dongyang felt a little weird when he was in it.
He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Chen, who was collecting food, and muttered in his heart: "He really fell out with Chen Jin?"
Although this idea is somewhat unrealistic, his attitude makes people have to think more about it.
The restless voices kept coming and going, and Chen Jin was almost drowned in saliva, feeling so embarrassed that she felt ashamed.
You know, the reason why he did these things was because of whose instructions it was. Isn’t it today?
Chu Yanwu's face also looked a little ugly. He didn't know whether Xiao Chen really felt busy or did it on purpose.
Chen Jin's inability to come to Taiwan also means that he is in a dilemma.
He glanced at Chen Jin suggestively.
The person involved took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am not in a hurry to do these two things."
"The feng shui of the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty was extremely poor. If we are so indulgent and indifferent, I am afraid it will affect the fate of our great Chu. We should take the matter of the imperial mausoleum as our top priority!"
His voice was generous and gave Chu Yanwu no reason to hesitate or refuse. It was more like giving him an order directly.
Chu Yanwu felt a little frightened.
Are you kidding me? Did he mean it?
What Feng Shui is extremely bad is just to test Xiao Chen's nonsense, your own interests are the most important!
Whether it's land or taxes, this can make him a lot of money.
But what's the benefit of destroying an imperial tomb?
Meaningless!
His cold eyes repeatedly hinted, and Chen Jin seemed not to notice, and continued firmly: "It won't be too late to let Governor Xiao continue what he was doing before the matter of the imperial mausoleum is successfully resolved."
Did this bastard really not understand what he meant, or did he do it on purpose?
Could it be that he wanted to go against the grain?
His hands hidden in his sleeves were curled up into balls, and the anger in his eyes was self-evident.
At this moment, Xiao Chen quickly and generously raised his hands and said, "I will obey the emperor's order!"
"After today, I will immediately stop those trivial matters and focus on dealing with the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty!"
This is a good thing. Temporarily stopping land enclosures and taxation can give the people a breather.
Zhang Dongyang also stepped forward in cooperation: "Jiu Qiansui is right, we must resolve Huang Ling's matter without delay."
A stream of clear voices followed Zhang Dongyang and agreed, completely stopping Chu Yanwu's idea of going back on his word.
In the end, he could only bite the bullet and grit his teeth, and was forced to compromise: "In that case, then just do it with your heart."
The matter was finalized and the court meeting adjourned.
Xiao Chen is in a good mood, you finally don't have to do that kind of dilemma and offend others.
Suddenly a shadow enveloped him, it was Zhang Dongyang.
He looked straight ahead, his face was relaxed and comfortable, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Chen's performance today.
"Well done."
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes: "Prime Minister Zhang is usually so fair. When he heard that I was going to destroy the former imperial mausoleum, wouldn't he be angry?"
Zhang Dongyang chuckled and said: "The living are always more important than the dead."
"Although what you want to do does not comply with etiquette and rules, if you can temporarily relieve the pressure on the people, you can be regarded as benefiting them."
Xiao Chen teased a little: "It seems that Prime Minister Zhang also knows how to choose. He is the only one who refuses to give in to me. It's really helpless."
People feel refreshed when happy events happen. Xiao Chen left with a smile, his pace seemed relaxed and comfortable, blood.
