Douluo: Wuhun Zhuge Wuhou, Breaking Bad

Chapter 48 This child must not be kept!

"Qinghe, although the term "untouchables" is not worth mentioning, isn't this a bit too harsh?"

As an emperor, Emperor Xue Ye does have some vision.

Collecting 60% tax all at once is no different from squeezing the people dry.

It won’t be long before civil unrest breaks out.

By then, it would still be a bit troublesome to deal with these untouchables.

And if the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire interfere, then the small trouble will turn into a big trouble.

This is not worth it.

"Father, I am just a lowly person, not worth mentioning." Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and said:

"I know what your father is worried about. We can implement this plan in some remote areas first, and then implement it nationwide after the untouchables gradually accept it. Of course, if it really doesn't work, we can stop it in time."

"But I'm still worried..."

"Father, you are the supreme ruler. It's okay for you to enjoy yourself. You have already devoted the first half of your life to the people. It's time for them to repay you in the second half of your life." Xue Qinghe continued.

It’s true, after hearing these words, Emperor Xue Ye felt very happy.

Yes, he has served the country and the people all his life, so what's wrong with enjoying himself now?
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Let's see what the attitude of those untouchables is first."

Thinking of the wine pool and meat forest he was about to build, Emperor Xue Ye nodded slightly and agreed to this plan.

Indeed, in the eyes of these rulers, what are ordinary people?
As long as they are not starving to death, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
"My son obeys the order!"

This time, Xue Qinghe laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Don't ask, the answer is what strategy Zhuge Liang gave her.

The third step is to exploit the common people and make Emperor Xue Ye completely lose the support of the people!

There are only two possible outcomes of doing this.

First, the people refused to obey and left the Tiandou Empire.

If this is the case, then the Spirit Hall can naturally take over these civilians and strengthen its strength.

But never underestimate the common people. Although they are not soul masters, they are the most solid productive force of a country.

As long as the Spirit Hall treats them well, they will grow large amounts of food, raise large amounts of livestock, and give back to the Spirit Hall!
This is not exploitation, it's a win-win situation.

Food is the most important thing for people. If Spirit Hall gives them what they want, they will certainly give Spirit Hall what they want.

That's fair enough.

Second, the people continued to endure oppression and exploitation under the tyranny of the empire.

If that's the case, don't worry.

Because the only person they hate is Emperor Xue Ye, after all, the imperial edict was issued by Xue Ye.

Then, when they hated Emperor Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe took advantage of every opportunity to treat the people well.

So between the emperor and the prince, you can easily tell who to choose.

One wants your life, the other treats you well, why would you hesitate? You would definitely choose the prince.

In this way, Emperor Xue Ye lost all the support of the people, while Xue Qinghe gained both fame and fortune, laying the foundation for his future power seizure!

In this game of chess, it seems that Xue Qinghe will win no matter how the game is played.

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This Zhuge Liang, I really don’t know what’s wrong with his brain.

How could he come up with so many vicious plans? And each one is very useful and targets people's hearts.

Being enemies with this man means a long night for these nobles, but a dawn for the common people.

"..."

The next day, Emperor Xue Ye announced this imperial decree in the court.

As expected, it was opposed by many ministers.

"Your Majesty, you must not do that! Although common people are lowly, you must give them a way to survive!"

"I second your opinion. Your Majesty, you must not issue such an imperial decree!"

Finally, even Xue Ye's younger brother, Prince Xue Xing, stood up and said loudly: "Royal brother, who on earth gave you this plan? This person is either a traitor or a spy from the enemy country. He should be executed immediately to serve as a warning to others!"

Hearing that all the ministers were opposing, Emperor Xue Ye felt that his authority was challenged.

"How dare you! Are you trying to force me to abdicate? How dare you!"

"Your humble servant is terrified!" Emperor Xue Ye looked at his brother, "This is my holy will, and there is absolutely no one else's plan!"

Xue Xing felt helpless, "Brother, this is absolutely not allowed. If we do this, our Tiandou Empire will lose the support of the people!"

"Bullshit, they are just untouchables. I feed them, and they still dare to rebel? And I said that we will only start the experiment in some remote areas. What are you worried about?"

"This……"

"There is no need to talk about this anymore. Just do it this way. If anyone dares to mention it again, I will destroy his entire family!!"

Emperor Xue Ye waved his dragon robe, and the eunuch beside him immediately announced the end of the court session.

Soon, the ministers prepared to disperse.

But Xue Xing looked at Xue Qinghe who was standing there without saying a word, and became extremely angry.

"Prince, why didn't you say anything just now?"

Xue Qinghe: "???"

This proposal was proposed by me. Should I contradict myself?
"Uncle, you can see that my father is angry, how dare I say anything more."

"But why did my royal brother send only you to do this?" Xue Xing was still angry.

One is the emperor and the other is the prince. These two people represent the will of the Tiandou Empire.

Now Xue Qinghe has also gotten involved, fearing that he would leave a way out for the Tiandou Empire.

Xue Ye, oh Xue Ye, are you going to destroy the Tiandou Empire?

"Maybe father has his own deeper meaning." Xue Qinghe continued to play dumb.

I just don’t know when Xue Xing finds out the truth, she will realize that she, the prince, is the mastermind behind all this.

What expression would Xue Xing have at that time?

"Damn it! There must be a villain who spread rumors. When I find him, I will kill him!"

After leaving a word, Xue Xing left the court angrily.

Looking at his back as he left angrily, Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes.

She felt that Xue Xing couldn't stay any longer.

This person's power in the court is too great, second only to the emperor and her, the prince.

As long as the snow star is not removed, it will always be a hidden danger.

……

Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, living room.

After returning to the sect, Ning Fengzhi kept a gloomy face.

"What a great Spirit Hall! I'll remember this incident!"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin also nodded, "It is indeed too much, but we must be on guard against Qian Daoliu."

After all, it was the great priest who was known to be invincible who had personally stepped in, so the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had to swallow their anger.

Otherwise, there will be a big mess.

"It's all Zhuge Wulong's fault. He resorted to all kinds of despicable tricks. We must not keep him alive!"

"But what he does is often beyond our control."

Don’t worry about whether the tricks are bad or harmful, as long as they work, they are good tricks.

Ning Fengzhi also calmed down a little, "I am just angry. This guy has schemed against me many times. He is so hateful and despicable!"

The moment he thought of this, he felt more and more unbalanced.

why?
Why do so many talented people join the Spirit Hall?

His Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is a large and powerful family, and the treatment they receive is the best among all the forces.

Human nature is really hard to understand.

Jian Douluo asked: "Do we need to cancel the cooperation of the wooden ox and flowing horse?"

"No need. The more critical the situation is, the more we need to handle the relationship with the Spirit Hall well." Ning Fengzhi said coldly with a dark face:
"But, Spirit Hall, please don't let me find an opportunity!"

Once he finds an opportunity, he will definitely crush the Spirit Hall and then crush that Zhuge Village Man to death!

　Thank you all for your monthly tickets. I wish you all a happy May Day and have a good time during the holiday.
