Time flies very quickly.

Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong spent seven days in the illusion in a blink of an eye.

I have to say that Xuanyuan Wanrong is still very good at becoming the leader of a country.

After all, no matter what, he was once a chosen person, and an outstanding disciple of Tiangongyuan has been in the forefront for a long time.

With her talent, even though she had never been in touch with governing the country before, after a week, she had learned almost everything she should have learned.

But in Xu Que's words, it's just a demonstration. The so-called governance of the country has not yet been cured. It is all a strategy to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Sooner or later something will happen!

Do you really think that a genius who cultivates immortals can govern the country?

It doesn't exist!

"Why? After so many days, you still feel that I can't control all this?"

In the imperial study room, Xuanyuan Wanrong sat down with Xu Que again and asked indifferently while looking at the file in her hand.

The file is about some agricultural reforms, which in her opinion are all irrelevant things and don't take them too seriously.

According to what she thought, the most important thing for a powerful country is to have the concept of its own country.

In other words, it belongs to the country's faith, and all peoples unite and work together.

This is the same as cultivating immortals.

A cultivator without Taoist aggregate will only be stuck in that state and cannot break through the entire life.

Only by understanding what path you want to take and having the Tao aggregate can you go further!

She told Xu Que directly about this idea.

Xu Que almost laughed out loud after hearing this.

"You take it for granted and think about everything too well. The fantasy is a completely utopian world. If you continue to follow your ideas, we will probably have to be a pair of desperate couples here in less than two years."

After being imprisoned for cultivation, Xu Que's courage also let go, and he was completely helpless in his words.

Anyway, everyone is a mortal, what's there to be afraid of?

You are the queen and I am the emperor. If you really want to count it, I am still the one above!

Fear of yarn!

"Bang!"

Xuanyuan Wanrong was not angry after hearing this, and was still calm and calm. She closed the file, called the maid to serve her, and put on a phoenix robe.

"You have never shown the so-called ability to govern the country in the past few days." She turned her back to Xu Que and said indifferently.

"I have been understanding the people's sentiments these days!" Xu Que replied leisurely on the chair.

"Oh, is that?"

Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head and sneered.

Before he came, the Empress had already trained many spies in the palace and was responsible for monitoring the movements of the imperial city.

According to the spy's return, Xu Que slipped out of the palace no less than five times this week, and he would stroll around and have fun every time he went out.

He even went to find the descendants of those important officials and went to the brothel to listen to the songs together!

I won't mention whether the song I listened to is justified or not.

But the descendants of those important officials were too brave and dared to go out with the emperor. Obviously, they were all a bunch of wine and food.

And the result was not beyond Xuanyuan Wanrong's expectations.

In just a few days, Xu Que became good brothers with those playboys, with his arms around him, lingering in the railing day and night, and not thinking about returning home at night!

"Ha, after all, he is a frivolous person and is useless!"

Xuanyuan Wanrong shook her head and smiled, but she didn't care too much about anything.

I just doubted my previous thoughts, how could I think this guy has meaning?

...

The maid served the two of them, and she was shocked.

My mother...what do I hear?

It’s not enough to die ten thousand times after it is reported!

Mother, I want to go home...

Fortunately, although Xuanyuan Wanrong and Xu Que are emperors here, they do not have the kind of emperor's spirit in their hearts, and they did not expect that level.

After packing up his appearance, the two of them came to the hall.

The ministers had already been below, waiting for the beginning of the court meeting.

However, today's atmosphere is obviously not right.

The court officials looked particularly ugly, and sweat was still on their foreheads, as if something major was happening.

Xuanyuan Wanrong noticed this and wondered if there was another natural disaster?

"Empress, the emperor is here!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's sharp voice, the court meeting officially began!

"I have something to do to report!"

Before the two of them could take their seats, a minister couldn't wait to cross the crowd and shout.

Xuanyuan Wanrong waved her hand lightly: "My dear, please speak."

"I beg the Queen to order the national tax collection to stop!"

Um?

Xuanyuan Wanrong's heart suddenly stumbled, but no expression appeared on her face: "Why did you say this?"

The minister looked serious and earnest: "Empress, before this, there have been tax collections. In the past few days, taxes have been imposed again due to severe drought, and the people have suffered so much that they have even lost their family, separated their wives and children, and the people in the country are living in poverty. If this continues, the country will not be a country!"

With this minister taking the lead, the other ministers seemed to have found their backbone and all offered advice.

"I ask the Empress to take back her life!"

"Empress, the people have no spare time to pay taxes, please stop collecting taxes nationwide!"

"Empress, this matter must not continue!"

When you say something, the hall suddenly became noisy.

Xuanyuan Wanrong's face became increasingly ugly, and she couldn't figure out where she was doing it wrong.

However, it is just taxation. Although the amount of silver required for disaster relief is extremely large, the Dongtang Kingdom has a large population, and it is only a trivial silver that is shared by everyone.

Could it be that the people can’t afford even this little silver?

How is that possible!

If it were so poor, the Eastern Tang Kingdom would have been in chaos long ago. But as she saw before, although the Eastern Tang Kingdom is a little poor now, it is not as if the people are in a state of dilemma!

Thinking of this, her gaze couldn't help but turn to Xu Que, as if she had remembered something, her heart skipped a little, and she was a little stunned.

This guy seemed to have really said before that there will be big problems within seven days.

Now indeed...

But how could he predict the future?

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Xu Que noticed Xuanyuan Wanrong's gaze and sneered in his heart.

Hey, I have reminded you that tax increases are not easy to use, but you just don’t listen.

I'm having trouble now. I know I'm looking at me, and I want to ask me for help?

I won’t help! Isn’t you angry, isn’t you angry?

...

Xuanyuan Wanrong obviously noticed the gloating swearing in Xu Que's eyes, and she was too lazy to pay attention to it.

But facing the advice of the ministers, she had no choice at this moment.

Stop taxation, how to solve the severe drought and famine?

If it does not stop, I am afraid that the country will be in chaos.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke: "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, how much silver is left in the treasury now?"

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, his heart trembled: "Report to the Empress, there are less than 10 million taels of silver left in the treasury."

"Allocate them all for disaster relief."

"Ah..."

The ministers were all stupid.
To be continued...
