Chapter 30 The King of ZTE

After Du Xing was silent for a moment, he said sarcastically: "Even so, what does this have to do with me?"

"Why wouldn't he be happy to kill my husband's son and watch him get exhausted and use his value?"

Although he didn't know why Hu Xiaosheng told him this, Du Xing knew that Hu Xiaosheng must have something to do when he came to find him, but he didn't want to get involved.

In his heart, he always looked down on the people of the Ministry of Revenue. He looked like a noble family, only money in his eyes, without any literary character.

"Mr. Du and I are heart-warming. Why should Lord. Du keep people from thousands of miles away?"

After hearing Du Xing say this, Hu Xiaosheng felt a little unhappy, "Does Lord Du really feel that no one knows your relationship with King Bei'an?"

"If Your Majesty takes action against us, do you really think that your so-called identity as a new party can protect you and let Your Majesty not attack you?"

"Sir Hu don't have to speak nonsense. What does it have to do with the King of Bei'an?" After hearing Hu Xiaosheng's words, Du Xing immediately denied it.

Hu Xiaosheng didn't say much about Du Xing's denial. He just said lightly: "Mr. Du, don't be anxious, I have no other intentions."

"Although we, the people from the Ministry of Revenue, control the wealth of the court, we are not very interested in who is sitting on that throne."

Speaking of this, Hu Xiaosheng always felt a little strange. As the Minister of Justice, Du Xing's status can be said to be the absolute center of the court. Why did he still get so close to King Bei'an?

Even if King Bei'an really rebelled in the future and successfully ascended the throne, what benefits will it be for Du Xing?

Du Xing is now a member of the cabinet. He can only be the chief minister of the cabinet if he is to endure it. The improvement in status is not very large, and it is obviously not proportional to the risks he is paying now.

He really couldn't understand why Du Xing, as the Minister of Justice, had to make such an unwise move? Is it because he was dissatisfied with the fact that he was sitting on the throne now?

It's really funny. As long as you have money and power, who cares about the throne he sits on.

When he heard Hu Xiaosheng's rebellious words, Du Xing was silent for a moment. The meaning in Hu Xiaosheng's words was very obvious, that is, if he was willing to stand on the same front with them, then in return, they could support King Bei'an in the future.

After a long silence, Du Xing slowly spoke, "What do you want to do?"

Hearing Du Xing's tone loose, Hu Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel a little happy, and stretched out two fingers to Du Xing, "Two things."

"First, Your Majesty's wedding is about to come. Although it is said that it is to be held briefly because of the empty treasury, an amnesty is definitely inevitable."

"amnesty?"

Du Xing was slightly stunned, but soon realized what Hu Xiaosheng really wanted to say, "What are you talking about is the tax owed in the Jiangnan region?"

In feudal dynasties, there was generally a habit of amnesty. When a royal family encounters happy events, such as when the new emperor ascends the throne or the emperor gets married, he will choose amnesty to the world.

During an amnesty, except for some criminals with great sins, the rest will be pardoned. Not only that, some areas will have tax arrears because they cannot pay taxes. When encountering amnesty, these arrears will be directly exempted.

"The taxes and silver arrears in Jiangnan over the past three years are 40 million taels, but you actually want to waive them all."

Du Xing looked at Hu Xiaosheng in disbelief, "Are you afraid you are crazy? The treasury is short of money now, so your Majesty will never agree to this matter!"

"What's up to people."

Hu Xiaosheng picked up the teacup without caring and took a sip, and said lightly: "As long as Lord Du supports the amnesty, you don't need to worry about other things."

"What a good method. I'm afraid the six ministries and nine ministers have no objection anymore, right?"

Du Xing sighed slightly, and a trace of cold light flashed slightly in his eyes when he looked at Hu Xiaosheng, but he concealed it well and was not discovered by Hu Xiaosheng.

"It's almost the same."

Hu Xiaosheng had no intention of being modest, and said directly: "After all, the amnesty is good for everyone, and the tax arrears are not just Jiangnan, and no one wants to be brought up old debts."

"The most important thing is that even if these debts are not exempted, they cannot be collected. It is better to waive them."

Hearing Du Xing's words, Du Xing clenched his fists behind him slightly, and after a moment, he relaxed again, and said, "I agree to this matter, what is the second thing you said?"

"As for this second thing, it is naturally that the prince who supports us has regained power."

Hu Xiaosheng's tone was full of sarcasm, "After all, we are loyal ministers of the late emperor. Now that the prince has reappeared, how could we, the old party, not support the prince?"

“Ha~”

Du Xing sneered at Hu Xiaosheng's words of support for Mo Zizai, "Support Mo Zizai, nourish his ambitions, and let him fight the empress in front. You are really calculating."

"How can this be called a calculation?"

Hu Xiaosheng spread his hands and said innocently: "We are loyal to the late emperor. What's wrong with supporting the prince now?"

"As for the ambition of growing the prince, the throne should be his. We just help him get his own things back. Why do we say that it is ambition?"

"This is the first time I know that Lord Hu is so loyal."

Looking at Hu Xiaosheng's hypocritical face, Du Xing couldn't help but sarcastically, "It's just that Mo Zi is moody here. You want to support him, be careful of your head."

"I, Mr. Hu, have always been loyal to the late emperor and the crown prince, and the sun and the moon can be seen."

Hu Xiaosheng, who was confident in controlling Mo Zi, did not take Du Xing's words to heart, and said confidently: "If the prince wants it, let alone Hu's head, even if Hu's whole family's life is left to the prince."

...

Just as Hu Xiaosheng and Du Xing were conspiring in the mansion, Tang Weiyi was also telling Mo Zizai about the situation in the court.

"The old party in the court, the group of people led by the Minister of Revenue, have mostly been in the Jiangnan area. They often use Uncle Mo as a guise and often sing opposites to me at any time."

Tang Weiyi rested her head on Mo Zizai's thigh and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fear that they would cause chaos in the Jiangnan area, I would have withdrawn them long ago."

"What's funny is that they thought I was afraid of being ungrateful and did not dare to touch them."

Speaking of this, Tang Weiyi curled her lips, "I am not even afraid of being a king of a country that has been destroyed, but I am afraid of being called ungrateful."

"It's okay, just turn around and I'll clean them up."

Mo Zizai pinched Tang Weiyi's slender fingers in his hand and was trimming her nails with a pair of small scissors. When he heard her angry words, he couldn't help but smile and comfort her.

"However, the title of King of the Destroyed Country is not suitable for you. I will change you to the King of Restoration."
