Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

He personally stepped forward and helped Li Congdao up.

"Lord Li, please be patient and don't be impatient. Your Majesty has already discussed with the old man and others. It is more beneficial for the common people to lower the tax rate."

People feel that the future of this Duzhi division is boundless.

He is a good official who really cares about the people.

Li Congdao was more ignorant than them!

Amend the tax rate?

Could it be that he was not arrested for the purpose of beheading and showing the public after being tortured?

Thinking about it, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

It seems that the cost of such a group of dignified people coming to interrogate a bigger official like myself seems a bit too high.

Li Congdao soon realized that he was ashamed

He wiped away his tears and stood up.

"It turns out that the revision of the tax rate is for the benefit of the common people, so the lower officials can rest assured."

Liu Jin, who was behind, almost spit out when she heard this sentence.

Others thought that Li Congdao already knew about the revision of the tax rate.

Only Liu Jin knew that Li Congdao didn't know anything before entering the door.

It's a good cast too!

Li Er is rare and amiable.

He personally pulled Li Congdao to sit down.

"Li Aiqing, I have already discussed with all the ministers and workers. It is extremely feasible to reduce the commercial tax to [-]/[-]. You are in charge of the Duzhi Division of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Let me know your opinion."

Li Congdao's mind whized.

He got two pieces of news from Li Er's words.

First, they have determined that it is imperative to reduce business taxes.

Second, calling yourself here is really not to chop off your head!

He was instantly refreshed.

This is an excellent opportunity to get out of the big quagmire of Changsun Wuji!

"Qizou Your Majesty, I think this matter is feasible. Now the national treasury is full, which is rare in ancient times. The reduction of commercial tax to [-]/[-] will not have any impact on the operation of the court!"

Li Er shook his head and said: "No, no, that's not the reason. I plan to hold a grand meeting tomorrow, so you should say that at that time."

Chapter 843 Just remember one sentence, everything is for the common people

The Great Court Meeting in mid-June was very intensive.

There was only one session three days ago, and there was a short notice last night, and there was still an overtime class!

In this regard, some high-level officials are secretly delighted, while others are worried.

The mid-level and high-level officials complained a lot. As for the mid-level and low-level officials, as well as the sixth-rank officials who could barely reach the threshold of participating in the Great Court Assembly, no one cared about their thoughts.

Li Congdao, the head of the Duzhi Division of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, can be regarded as a middle-level and low-level official.

In the past, he never let go of this opportunity to build a good relationship with his colleagues.

If you communicate in private, it is inevitable that you will leave a tongue of forming a party for personal gain.

After years of hard work, I have indeed made many friends.

Even, several fourth- and fifth-rank officials have become confidantes with him!

It was just dawn, and there was an ice basin in the carriage of the bosses, so they didn't feel the slightest stuffiness.

Others can only hide in a cool place and use their sleeves to fan the cool breeze.

It was very rare for Li Congdao not to be squeezed into the crowd.

Instead, he was alone, standing in the corner, facing the corner, thinking about something.

Wu Shunzhang, who will be the young supervisor, is a close friend with Li Congdao.

He walked over and asked, "Brother Cong Daoist, yesterday we decided to go boating on the Dongyang River for tea, why did you miss the appointment?"

Li Congdao ignored him

Wu Shunzhang frowned and took a closer look.

He found that Li Congdao was stretching out a finger, pawing at the crack of the wall.

While pawing and pulling, there were still words in his mouth.

Wu Shunzhang listened attentively.

It seems to be saying words like 'really unlucky, bloody unlucky'.

Wu Shunzhang stroked his beard and thought for a while.

"Is it possible that something happened yesterday?"

All of them have followed Changsun Wuji.

After all, Shang Shusheng nominally commands six ministries, nine temples and five prisons.

However, they can only be regarded as marginal figures.

Changsun Wuji didn't like them at all.

Thinking of the commotion in Chang'an City yesterday, Wu Shunzhang's face changed slightly.

"Could it be that His Majesty is about to make a move?"

As we all know, after the downfall of Changsun Wuji, none of the 'horses' that once belonged to him were disposed of.

Chu Suiliang and others just stood in the distance, waiting to go up.

Could it be that His Majesty really can't wait, before actually convicting Changsun Wuji, to deal with these 'partners'?

Wu Shunzhang couldn't think of any other possibility.

He couldn't care less, turned Li Congdao around, and said: "Congdao, tell Brother Wei honestly, is there something wrong? Could it be related to the Liu family?"

Li Congdao still didn't seem to hear what he said, his face was full of despair.

"Master Li, Master Li Congdao!"

At this time, Wu Shunzhang heard someone calling Li Congdao.

Looking back, I almost scared him to death!

The person named Li Congdao turned out to be the prime minister of the court, Mr. Fang Qiao!

"Cong Dao! Wake up! The Prime Minister is calling you!"

Li Congdao shuddered violently, and said in confusion, "Brother Shunzhang?"

Wu Shunzhang hurriedly pulled Li Congdao to Fang Xuanling's carriage.

Whispered a few words in his ear.

"Be careful what you say, our lives and deaths are all in the hands of Fang Xiang and the others!"

Li Congdao's expression was extremely complicated.

It seems that I have something to say, but I dare not say it.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Master Li, get in the car and cool off!"

His words seemed to be talking about family matters.

But among all the civil and military officials, it caused quite a commotion!

Fang Xuanling, what does this mean?

Could it be that, as the prime minister, he doesn't know the camp that Li Congdao is in?

Or in other words, Li Congdao has changed his face and become a loyal fan of bigwigs from the three provinces?

Wu Shunzhang was also stunned.

From what Fang Xuanling said, it seems that the relationship between him and Li Congdao is very good!

His heartbeat suddenly missed two beats.

In the court, the most embarrassing situation was not Chu Suiliang and the others.

If Changsun Wuji can live, they can.

If the eldest grandson Wuji died, they would probably die too.

The ending is already doomed, it doesn't matter if it's embarrassing or not.

The most embarrassing thing is to count them, the fringe figures of the 'Changsun Group'.

At the beginning, he wanted to get close to Changsun Wuji, but he didn't like them at all.

After all, it was just a name borrowed.

As far as doing evil, I didn't do much evil.

If Li Er wanted to let them go, he would let them go.

But if Li Er was in a bad mood, he would kill him if he wanted to.

This embarrassing situation made them at a loss for a long time.

Fang Xuanling's words seemed to bring hope to them.

A dozen or so people surrounded Wu Shunzhang and quickly formed a pile, and began to whisper.

Chu Suiliang and the others looked at them indifferently and said nothing.

In the carriage!

Li Congdao put his hands on his legs, rubbing them non-stop.

The tension in my heart is undoubtedly manifested.

Fang Xuanling said kindly, "Master Li, wipe off your sweat and drink something, there is still a while before the court, don't worry."

He waved his hand and asked Du Ruhui, who was sitting opposite, to lean to the side.

Then, from behind Du Ruhui, a large box was pulled out.

Open the lid and there are all kinds of drinks inside.

Du Ru had a quick eye, took out a glass bottle of orange juice, touched it, it was still ice cold!

"Fang Xiang, you know how to live recently!"

Fang Xuanling greeted everyone.

Xiao Yu and the others picked up Xinyi drinks one after another.

"Yi Zhi is a filial child, knowing that his father can't stand the heat, he specially ordered a thermal box from Liu's family, and put some drinks in it every morning!"

Gao Shilian took a bottle of iced green tea, rubbed his stomach, and said, "Is there any that is not cold? This old man's appetite is really unbearable."

Dai Zhou moved closer to Fang Xuanling, and changed Gao Shilian's bottle of plum water at room temperature.

Immediately, he looked at Li Congdao with a smile all over his face.

"Brother Cong, what do you want to drink?"

Li Congdao quickly expressed his thanks.

On the surface, Dai Zhou was only one level above him.

However, the three provinces had already announced that before the end of the year, Dai Zhou would become the new Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

That's his immediate boss!

He has eighty guts, and he doesn't dare to let his immediate superior serve him!

Li Congdao simply brought over the iced green tea that Gao Shilian had replaced, and said with a bitter face, "My lords, I am very worried. If I cannot convince others when I go to court, I am afraid that it will delay your Majesty's important event!"
