n“According to what you said, you should be the first one to be blamed! After all, an idiot like you who doesn’t have any ability but relies on climbing the flames to stand in a high position is the biggest reason why our Great Zhou has been defeated repeatedly!”
nThese words poked Ge Hong’s sore spot.
nHe didn’t expect Wang Fuyue to go all out today. He couldn’t help but curse in exasperation, “You… You… If I’m an idiot, then what are you, Wang Fuyue? Don’t forget that we are all important officials hand-picked by His Majesty. If you say that I’m an idiot, aren’t you doubting His Majesty’s sharp eyes?”
nGe Hong was the clan leader of the Ge clan in the Central Plains. He was not good at Qi cultivation, but was good at refining some strange pills.
nAfter entering the officialdom, he had won over the hearts of the people by giving away all kinds of pills.
nEven the current emperor had gained a lot of benefits from this.
nBecause he had many henchmen and was favored by the emperor, Ge Hong sat in the position of an extremely important official through some manipulation.
nIndifferent. Although Wang Fuyue had called him an idiot, he actually had some real ability. However, these abilities were limited to governing a peaceful dynasty that did not have too many waves.
nIn the current situation where the Six Nations were competing for the top spot, there were many loopholes.
nGe Hong’s ability could not support him to complete the integration of forces.
nThe two of them fought in the court, their faces red.
nHowever, the emperor’s face was getting darker and darker, almost turning into a black pot.
nGe Hong keenly realized that Wang Fuyue seemed to be really going all out today. Even if he drowned, he would drag him down with him.
nTherefore, even if he wanted to take down Wang Fuyue again, he would still be able to do so.
nGe Hong immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to continue.
n.0.
nIn the imperial court, the emperor, who had been standing like a pile of mud, suddenly coughed.
nInstantly, the entire court fell silent.
nIn an instant, a pin drop could be heard.
nEven Wang Fuyue could only shake her head and sigh silently after seeing that Ge Hong did not take the blow.
nHe glanced at the two people who were arguing.
nThe emperor’s gaze swept past Ge Hong before landing on Wang Fuyue. He asked coldly,””Minister Wang, the plan you offered to let our Great Zhou avoid the edge of the blade, isn’t it telling the other five countries that our Great Zhou is corrupt and incompetent? He couldn’t even suppress a small rebellion?
nWang Fuyue felt a pressure that was like water.
nNot only was the emperor the most respected existence in the Great Zhou. but
nhe was also a powerful cultivator.
nNow, under his gaze, Wang Fuyue, whose cultivation was not very high, naturally could not withstand it.
nWang Fuyue sighed dejectedly and said, ‘”Your Majesty, although these words should not have come out of this subject’s mouth, the weakness of the Great Zhou is not something that can be done overnight. Now, this problem has only been completely exposed… ”
n‘What we need to do now is to immediately suspend unnecessary wars and give the people time to recuperate. We shouldn’t burn the flames of war even more vigorously and cause the entire Great Zhou to be burned to ashes in the raging flames!”
nAs soon as he said this.
nInstantly, the originally quiet court exploded.
nGe Hong didn’t dare to speak, but his political ally behind him naturally wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity. He shouted angrily, “Wang Fuyue, you old fart!”
n“Our Great Zhou is in good order under the governance of the current emperor. In the past few years, our taxes have been rising year after year. It’s the time when we are strong, so why do you call it a weak country? Could it be that
nPrime Minister Wang really had some inexplicable connection with Northern Ice River Town?”
nWang Fuyue didn’t say anything when she heard that. She just closed her eyes silently.
nWhen he and Ge Hong were scolding each other just now, no one stood up and said anything.
nHowever, when he mentioned some hidden illness of the Great Zhou, the entire court was filled with civil officials and generals who wished that he could die on the spot.
nHe knew that there was nothing he could do now.
nThe Great Zhou’s tax revenue had indeed been rising year after year.
nHowever, these taxes were not paid by the people, but by merchants and slave owners from all over the world under the guise of the people.
nThese merchants and slave owners were naturally not philanthropists.
nThe merchants hoarded goods and raised prices everywhere to earn huge profits.
nThe great slave owners would levy exorbitant taxes on the fields and join forces with merchants to hoard the land and property in the hands of the freemen.
nA few combination punches came down.
nTaxes had indeed risen under the cover of guilty officials everywhere.
nHowever, not only did the people not become richer, but their lives became more and more difficult.
nThe biggest beneficiary of this was the officials who were now filled with anger and wanted him dead immediately.
nWang Fuyue discovered this problem.
nHowever, even if he was the prime minister of a dynasty, if he wanted to take away their interests from the mouths of countless interest groups, he would still be smashed into pieces in an instant.
nThe emperor’s expression was uncertain.
nAt this moment, his rationality told him that Wang Fuyue was right.
nHowever, looking at the overall situation, it was impossible for him to give up so easily.
nMoreover, Wang Fuyue dared to openly challenge his dignity in front of all the civil and military officials. This was also something he could not tolerate.
nTherefore, he said solemnly,” Minister Wang, since you have no confidence in the Great Zhou, please return to your hometown and rest for a period of time. Remember to take care of your health. I still look forward to you adjusting your attitude and returning to the court!”
nAfter saying that, he ignored the various expressions on the others ‘faces and continued, “As for Northern Glacier Town…once Li Yueming was eliminated, they would not be able to cause any trouble in the short term.. After the Great Tang in the south had recovered from Great Qin’s attacks, they would deal with them!”
