Martial Arts: Becoming a Tyrant From Summoning a Sword Slave

It's just that he didn't expect that he almost lost his life because of this sentence.

Lu Buwei, Han Fei and Tong Zhili walked out of the imperial study room and let out a long breath.

Tong Zhili's back was already covered with cold sweat, and the wind blew, making him shiver.

The look in the emperor's eyes just now made Tong Zhili feel the breath of death. "Master Tong."

Lu Buwei looked at Tong Zhili and said softly, "This tax reform will affect the interests of a large number of dignitaries."Ask for flowers. .

"Your Majesty has his own deep meaning in implementing the new tax system directly over the officials. You and I shouldn't talk too much." After speaking, Lu Buwei and Han Fei left straight away.

Tong Zhili stood there blankly, suddenly, his pupils shrank.

After realizing it, he already figured out the purpose of the emperor's doing so.

Looking back at the imperial study room, Tong Zhili felt a surge of fear.

Only now did he realize what he had said wrong.

At the same time, he was also chilled by the emperor's methods.

Do one step and think three steps, lay out layer by layer, without revealing anything.

It is a blessing for the country to have such an emperor, but it is a misfortune for their ministers.

Working under such an emperor, you really can't hide any secrets, and you have to worry about your life at any time.

Because you don't know when the emperor dug a hole for you.

And you step into the pit, but you don't know it.

0.0 When it is discovered, it is already too late, and my life is already lost.

A few days later, above the court.

"My ministers and others, see your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The left and right civil and military ministers knelt down and kowtowed in salute.

Shangguan Lin sat on the dragon chair, waved his big hand, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty is at peace." "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the officials stood up, the eunuch Wang Wen stepped forward and said loudly: "If there is something to do, we will play, and if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court!"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Congwen, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up from the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to do." "What's the matter?"

"Go back to Your Majesty."

Sun Congwen said respectfully: "I impeached the first assistant Lu Buwei, using power for personal gain, and arrogating power and dictatorship."

"Apocalyptic tax laws are related to the lifeblood of the country, but Lu Buwei tampered with tax laws without authorization and implemented his new tax policy."

"I believe that this move will shake the foundation of the country, cause turmoil in the court, cause an uproar in the world, change people's minds, and hurt His Majesty Tianwei." This is a crime of exceeding power, and his heart can be punished!" "I implore Your Majesty to immediately stop the new tax laws, change back to the old laws, and severely punish Lu Buwei." "Master Sun is justified, and my ministers agree." "I second the proposal." "The minister also seconded the proposal."

As soon as Sun Congwen finished speaking, twelve censors came out one after another to impeach Lu Buwei.

Chapter 175 The Tyrant's Butcher Knife Unsheathed, Bloodbathed the Court and Killed Thousands of People (Part [-], please subscribe)

The twelve censors who impeached Lu Buwei were divided into two factions.

One faction seized on Lu Buwei's fact that he implemented the New Deal without the consultation of hundreds of officials, and impeached him for arrogating power and dictatorship.

The other faction clarified the various mistakes, omissions and harms of the new policy, saying that Lu Buwei's new policy was a policy of disrupting the country, and begged the emperor to punish it with the two crimes of arbitrariness and dictatorship.

The former focuses on dictatorship, while the latter focuses on the new tax law. "I have already read the tax laws formulated by Lu Buwei."

Shangguanlin looked at the ministers below, and said with a faint smile: "I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I don't know where Sun Aiqing saw it. It can shake the foundation of the country and cause shocks in the court?" Why didn't I see the Longwei that hurt me?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, in all dynasties, the tax collection has never exceeded [-]%, but the tax law formulated by Lu Buwei actually collects [-]% of the tax. This is simply invading the people and harming the people!" It is so high, I am afraid that the officials will force the people to rebel and cause a civil uprising!"

"There is also commercial tax. "[-]" scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are the lowest, they are just a group of opportunistic people." "Lu Buwei's tax law makes the court wantonly collect commercial taxes, which is to compete with the people for profit."

"If it spreads out, the people of the world will think that His Majesty is a money-greedy person. Wouldn't it hurt His Majesty's prestige?" Sun Congwen spoke eloquently and seemed to make sense.

But what he said was just generalizing and changing concepts secretly.

Shangguan Lin sneered, and said coldly: "Sun Congwen, are you opposing the new tax law for the sake of the people or for yourself?" Facing the emperor's words, Sun Congwen's face remained unchanged.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am loyal and dedicated to the country. Naturally, it is for the people, for Your Majesty, and is absolutely selfless." "Really?"

"Then I will let the civil and military officials see how loyal you are."

After finishing speaking, Shangguanlin picked up a file on the table and threw it into Wang Wen's hands. "read!"

"Let all ministers listen to how my Sun Aiqing is loyal to the emperor and patriotic." "No!"

Wang Wen took the file, opened it, and read it aloud.

"Sun Congwen, a person from Xinyang, was a Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai, No.6 in the second class, and became a censor in the sixth year of Jingtai." "There are [-] acres of fertile land under his name. No food tax was paid.”

"In addition to his wife Sun Xu, Sun Congwen has two concubines in Jinling West Lane, both of whom are singers of Chunhualou. They each used 3000 taels of silver to redeem themselves, totaling 6000 taels of silver." "At midnight three days ago, Sun Congwen received Xu Zhen, a wealthy businessman in Jinling, sent a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, which contained 2 taels of silver notes."

"Two days ago, Sun Congwen was invited to Zilanxuan for a banquet. The person who hosted the banquet was Song Lixin, a wealthy businessman in Jinling. During the banquet, Song Lixin presented Sun Congwen with a pair of calligraphy and paintings of the former Wei Dynasty, which contained 3 taels of silver notes." "Sun Congwen's younger brother Sun Congwu owns two restaurants and a teahouse in Jinling, and Sun Congwen receives [-]% of his monthly income.

When Wang Wen started to read, Sun Congwen was already covered in cold sweat with fright.

After Wang Wen finished reading, Sun Congwen was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

Shangguanlin looked at Sun Congwen, smiled coldly, and said mockingly, "Is Sun Aiqing really loyal?" Dog's life!" "What are you afraid of?"

"Now you know you're afraid?"

Shangguanlin picked up the file and threw it down, hitting Sun Congwen on the head with precision.

"You keep saying that you are the country and the king, and you have no selfishness. When you accept bribes, have you ever thought about me?" I was even more terrified.

"It is also said that I collect commercial taxes to compete with the people for profit, so why do you all go into business to collect money?" "I am afraid that I am not competing for profit with the people, but with you!" Shangguan Lin looked down at the ministers, his eyes were indifferent .

"That's why you all jumped out to oppose my revision of the tax law!"

After finishing speaking, Shangguanlin looked at a censor kneeling behind Sun Congwen, and said mockingly: "Xie Chenlin, you have thousands of acres of fertile land in your family, and you don't have to pay grain tax every year. You must be very happy?" , you can get free money every month without doing anything, it must be very comfortable, right?"

Shangguan Lin's icy eyes swept across the civil and military officials, and said solemnly: "The imperial court supports you to govern the country for me, not for you to use your official positions to amass wealth and fill your own pockets." After reading the apocalypse, the ancestors said that officials should not deceive the emperor, and officials should not use their official names to seek personal gain. If they do so, they will be punished with death." If you deceive me, how can I tolerate you!" Looking at the mass of civil and military officials kneeling below, Shangguan Lin felt angry. "Come here." With an order, a team of imperial guards immediately walked in from outside the hall.

"The censor Sun Congwen, Xie Chenlin, Zhao Wuwei and other six people deceived the king, enriched their own pockets, ransacked their homes, wiped out the three clans, counted their property, and confiscated it into the treasury. To relieve my hatred, I will be punished by pulling out my tongue for treason, and then I will be executed in Ling Chi!" Hearing that the emperor's punishment was so cruel, all the officials bowed their heads and fell silent like cicadas.

The familiar bloodbath appeared again.

Familiar fear, or familiar taste.

The imperial army took Sun Congwen and the six of them away, and the screams of the six continued to be heard... Shangguan Lin locked the remaining six censors with cold eyes, and saw that they were all trembling. "The new tax law was implemented by Lu Buwei in Tianqi after I made the decree." "You six, the law is unclear, the government order is unreasonable, and you impeach indiscriminately."

"I've checked, and the six of you are pretty good. You haven't filled your pockets, but your family also has hundreds or even thousands of acres of fertile land." "Presumably there are selfish motives in opposing the tax law this time."

"Preach the decree, Lu Wenshu, Sheng Xingchi and other six people falsely accuse the chief assistant, disrespecting the court, wear the imperial staff of sixty, demote them to common people, and take all the land to the state." "I thank your majesty for not killing me, my emperor Long live, long live, long live!" The six kowtowed to thank each other, with tears streaming down their faces. "Drag it on." Shangguan Lin waved his hand, with a look of disgust on his face, and he didn't want to look any more.

Seeing them being dragged away, all civil and military officials couldn't help shaking their heads.

The emperor was furious, laying down millions of corpses!

Killing six people today, six people from barbarians and eighteen tribes, is simply terrifying. (Six people and three clans, adding up to eighteen clans, don't get me wrong.) It is already a great luck for these six people to survive.

The head of civil servants, Zuo Xiang Tong Zhili felt his body tremble involuntarily.

No matter how he tried to stop it, he couldn't stop.

He had already broken into a cold sweat when he guessed the emperor's purpose that day.

I experienced it today, and my heart is even more frightening.

At a certain moment, Tong Zhili suddenly thought of resigning from office and returning to his hometown.

Today's Emperor Yuanwu is moody and murderous.

He is not an imperial party, if he stays as an official again, I am afraid that he will really end badly in the future.

For the sake of wealth and life, the power should be given up or not.

5.4 Hearing the screams from outside the hall, Shangguanlin looked around at the ministers, and said coldly: "You all remember, what I give you is yours." "If I don't give it to you, you can take it Be careful, I chopped off his hands and then his head!" "Before committing a crime next time, think about the consequences." "Retire!"

Shangguan Lin shook his sleeves and left, all civil and military officials let out a long breath at the same time.

Once the emperor was furious, the majesty and murderous aura were too great, and they were overwhelmed.

Once again, the court was bloodbathed and thousands of people were killed.

Apocalypse's civil and military officials once again witnessed the emperor's cruelty and tyranny.

The name of a tyrant is well-deserved!

Chapter 176 Slandering the emperor is a crime that should be punished (fourth more, please subscribe)

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of tax reform, do you want to receive a reward?"

In the imperial study room, just as Shangguan Lin sat down, the electronic sound of the system rang in his mind. "receive."

"Ding, it is detected that the host has completed the task of tax system reform, and the reward is being distributed, and the distribution has been completed." "Congratulations to the host for obtaining [-], Tianxia Qianzhuang."

"Wan Sanqian's identity background has been implanted, and the strange people in the rivers and lakes recruited by the host are good at business and have a good way of making money."

"The background of Tianxia Qianzhuang has been implanted. It is a bank under the name of Wansanqian, but the real boss behind the scenes is the host." After watching the system rewards, Shangguanlin was very satisfied.

He has all the four elements of military, government, finance, and espionage.

Now, which country in the world can stop the current apocalypse?

After the imperial court promulgated the latest tax law, there was an uproar in Tianqi territory.

Most of the people at the bottom don't think there is anything wrong. After all, the change of the new tax law has no impact on them, but gives them preferential treatment.

There is only one tax exemption for joining the army for three years, and the tax will be halved for the next ten years, which has already made many people ecstatic.

Because of this, the enthusiasm of Tianqi people to join the army is unprecedentedly high.

But the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen all gritted their teeth with hatred for Shangguan Lin.

The huge change in food tax has made many officials and their relatives feel heartbroken.

And the change of business tax made the rich merchants in Tianqi Territory so heartbroken that they couldn't breathe.

In the previous tax law, the business tax was only one out of thirty, which was pitifully low.

With such a change now, many wealthy businessmen have to allocate a large part of their annual income to the imperial court.

Taking money from people is like killing parents.

Businessmen value profits and regard money as more important than the lives of their parents.

Shangguanlin promulgated a new tax law, making Tianqi's wealthy businessmen regard Shangguanlin as an enemy who killed his father and mother.

As a result, a huge killing feast was caused!

Since the promulgation of the new tax system, rumors have spread in Jinling City.

"Hey, have you heard? His Majesty the Emperor changed the tax law to collect money and build a palace for himself."

"How is this possible? Your Majesty the Emperor is wise and powerful, and loves the people like a son. How could you do such a thing? Where did you hear that?"

"It's good that the emperor is wise and powerful, but it's also true that he was extravagant. Otherwise, why would he amend the tax law and plunder the money?"

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor will be drafted again in a few months, and he will build a palace for every concubine. All these require money. The Emperor has no money himself, so he can only search for the hard-earned money of the common people." , What a fool!"

In the corner of a restaurant in Jinling, several people were talking in low voices.

This kind of situation doesn't only happen here, there are people talking about it in restaurants, brothels, and teahouses.

I don't know when it started, a rumor spread in Jinling City that the emperor wantonly plundered the people's money just for pleasure.

Most of the common people remember the emperor's sage since he ascended the throne, so most people dismiss it.
