As the main culprit, he naturally cannot be let off!

At the same time, she also left him a bloodline, which also let other princes know that the empress still cares about the feelings of the royal family, so naturally they will not have much intention of resistance!

"Thank you for your compliments, Prince Ning. After all, there has to be someone whose hands are stained with sin. If that person can't be Her Majesty the Empress, why can't it be me?" Hearing Prince Ning's words, Xu Wuchen said calmly, "Don't worry after you die. I will take care of your wife and children for you."

"You..." Hearing Xu Wuchen's words, King Ning instinctively felt that something was wrong and could only stare at Xu Wuchen.

He always felt that Xu Wuchen's words were like him saying, "Don't worry after you die, I will take care of your wife and children."

"Imperial Master..." The empress glanced at Xu Wuchen beside her, and felt a warmth in her heart.

"I have already washed the pair of stockings from last time." Luo Yaoguang said softly in a voice that only Xu Wuchen could hear, "Remember to come to the imperial study to discuss matters later."

"..."

Hearing the empress's words, Xu Wuchen felt a slight heat in his throat.

Is this considered a bribe to the Empress? !

79 The bitter family, I will bear the infamy

In the royal study.

The empress, who is the ruler of a country, is sitting on the dragon throne and working hard.

The desk was filled with recent official documents, most of which were documents sent in from various places related to the reduction of feudal lords.

Gu Qinghan was sitting next to Luo Yaoguang, his peach blossom eyes sparkling with a strange light.

He stared quietly at Xu Wuchen, who was sitting opposite the desk with a serious expression.

"Huh...it's finally almost over!" The empress said tiredly as she sat on the dragon throne.

A pair of slender and perfect jade feet and white and smooth jade hands are working hard at the same time.

Looking at Xu Wuchen's tense body, Luo Yaoguang's fairy-like face showed a smug smile, full of complacency.

There was a hint of provocation in her phoenix eyes as she glanced at Gu Qinghan beside her.

As if showing off something silently.

Like the posture of a winner.

"Yes... Your Majesty the Empress has worked hard today. You have worked so hard for the state affairs of the Daqian Dynasty, and you are so considerate to your subordinates." Xu Wuchen said slowly, with indescribable admiration between his brows.

But the usually gentle voice now sounded a little rougher, as if he sounded a little tired.

"Is Her Majesty almost done with her work?" Gu Qinghan, who was sitting next to Luo Yaoguang, asked in confusion, "And why does the Imperial Master's voice sound a little off?"

"Well... after the failure of Prince Ning's rebellion, the other princes were very sensible and none of them dared to resist. I did not kill them all because of the relationship between the royal family and me. I just returned all their illegal gains to fill the national treasury. By the way, I severely punished some of the most excessive ones, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

Luo Yaoguang nodded slightly, feeling Xu Wuchen's vigorous vitality and the ancestral item that was jumping excitedly at her feet, and said with relief: "As for why the Imperial Master's voice is not normal, it may be because he is too excited. After all, King Ning highly praised the Imperial Master this time. And the success of reducing the vassal states so easily is all due to the Imperial Master's contribution. Even I will reward the Imperial Master generously."

After saying that, Luo Yaoguang lowered her head slightly and glanced under the desk.

I saw that my black stockings had turned into a pair of gradient stockings in black and white under the influence of the most hard and masculine things.

There is a bit of charm in the turbidity.

At the same time, the crime scene is processed skillfully.

The murder weapon was hidden.

"Huh... Thank you for the reward and praise from Her Majesty the Empress. The reason why the reduction of the feudal lords was so smooth this time is that the Empress implemented it properly and was able to appoint talented people." Hearing the words of the Empress, Xu Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly, "As for what the Imperial Master said, it may be because I have been studying the collection too hard in recent days, so I am a little tired."

Xu Wuchen didn't say this out of the blue.

After all, Xu Wuchen has been taking great pains to take care of Gu Qinghan's affairs these days.

In addition to discussing with the empress how to reduce the power of the princes every day, he was also studying the Taoist techniques, thinking about how to help Gu Qinghan solve the problem of karmic debt in his body.

Fortunately, I am very talented and have solved most of the problem.

"Really? Then why do I feel that the smell in the air seems a little unusual?" Seeing the appearance of Xu Wuchen and Luo Yaoguang, Gu Qinghan frowned slightly, sniffed the air with his nose, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, pulling out a charming smile, staring at Xu Wuchen and Luo Yaoguang with interest and said, "Could it be that Her Majesty the Empress has recently liked other incense? But why does this incense seem to come from the Imperial Master?"

Even if Gu Qinghan was dumb, he would know it at this moment.

What did the Empress and Xu Wuchen do in front of her!

Did these two people actually treat her as a seasoning? !

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan felt a little annoyed and unwilling.

She slowly took off her clogs and then stepped on Xu Wuchen's legs with her jade feet.

"Maybe the incense I brought from a foreign land a few days ago conflicted with the smell of the Imperial Master, so this happened." Luo Yaoguang narrowed her eyes, staring at the documents on the desk, and said coldly, "How can the Imperial Master still have time to care about the leisure time of me and the Imperial Master?"

After saying this, a smile appeared in the corners of Luo Yaoguang's eyes.

Why does this woman fight her? !

She has already won at the starting line!

But when Luo Yaoguang withdrew her gaze and looked at Xu Wuchen, she vaguely felt that something was not right.

Xu Wuchen's brows were furrowed and his body was still tense.

He seemed to be thinking about something and looked a bit solemn.

"Nothing, I'm just curious, so I just asked casually. But the Imperial Master seems to be overworked for my affairs." Hearing the words of the empress, Gu Qinghan smiled, then stared at Xu Wuchen's face with a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, and said with a playful look, "The Imperial Master is so concerned, but it makes me feel a little guilty."

As if to complement her words, Gu Qinghan's pair of white and delicate feet stepped slightly on Xu Wuchen's leg.

With a little bit of joking and venting.

It seemed that he was dissatisfied with Xu Wuchen's recent behavior.

After all, what Xu Wuchen meant by studying her affairs was actually going to study with that little slut Yun Fei?

Over the past few days, she had hardly seen Xu Wuchen in the Taoist temple.

But we can often learn about it from other people in the Taoist temple.

Concubine Yun looks very good these days, as if she has been reborn.

Compared with other concubines of the previous dynasty, she looks extremely healthy.

Both his complexion and mentality are much better than theirs.

After all, most of the concubines of the previous dynasty, after getting over the initial panic period, discovered that the empress had no intention of settling accounts with them, nor did she intend to use the system of burial alive to make them be buried with the late emperor.

They began to have some concerns in their minds, and many of them were not willing to live a life of seclusion in the Taoist temple.

It was only because of the empress's orders and fear that he continued to practice in the Taoist temple.

But Concubine Yun's face suddenly became extremely rosy and she looked very happy, like a fertile field that had been cultivated. How could others not be jealous after seeing this!

"Ahem... Imperial Master, you're joking. I just thought of the Imperial Master's trust and dared not slack off, so I have been studying the Taoist Canon that the Imperial Master left for me. Imperial Master, you don't have to be so grateful." Xu Wuchen frowned slightly, feeling the discomfort coming from his body, and could only bite the bullet and say, "Speaking of which, the matter of reducing the vassal states is almost over. Her Majesty specially invited me and the Imperial Master here today. Is there anything else?"

Xu Wuchen never expected that he had just escaped from the wolf's mouth and fell into the tiger's den!

The empress had just let him go, and before he could even catch his breath and recover his strength, Gu Qinghan started to torture him.

These two women really want to kill me!

After saying that, Xu Wuchen pinched Gu Qinghan's small and tender feet with his palm without leaving any trace, to prevent this woman from continuing to bully him.

I have to say that compared to the empress's jade feet, Gu Qinghan's feet are a little bit bigger, but the shape of the feet is also more perfect.

It feels cool to the touch and very smooth.

It makes people want to play with it.

"Hmm..." Gu Qinghan obviously did not expect Xu Wuchen to be so bold as to expose her little tricks in front of the empress.

An alluring blush appeared on her flawless face.

She could only glare at Xu Wuchen in embarrassment, and then let Xu Wuchen hold her jade feet in his hands, not daring to act rashly.

It’s not that they were afraid that the Empress would notice their little actions.

I don’t know why, but Gu Qinghan suddenly found this to be quite interesting.

It gave her a bit of the same joy she had when she was secretly eating snacks while her father was explaining the Taoist canon to her.

"Yes, the issue of reducing the power of the feudal lords has been almost resolved, but the problems of the aristocratic families and the civil service groups in the Daqian Dynasty have not been completely resolved. In the current Daqian Dynasty, the people in many areas have been displaced and lost their land. All of this is due to the embezzlement of the aristocratic families and the civil service groups. I have already dealt with the royal family, so the next target is them."

Hearing Xu Wuchen's words, Luo Yaoguang nodded slightly, and said with difficulty: "Especially this year, many places have been hit by natural disasters and man-made disasters. If I don't think of a way to solve the disaster relief issue, I'm afraid that I don't know how many people will die!"

After she finished speaking, a look of headache appeared on Luo Yaoguang's fairy-like face.

Obviously, Luo Yaoguang has been worried about this matter a lot during this period of time.

"Disaster relief is indeed urgent, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, where floods hit this year and many people left their homes and became homeless. There is also a severe drought in the north. Except for Beili, which can barely sustain itself, other areas have poor harvests. Many hungry people are eating their own children, gnawing on tree bark, and eating Guanyin soil! Hmm..."

Hearing Luo Yaoguang's words, Xu Wuchen nodded slightly, and then said with deep agreement.

Just when Xu Wuchen was about to finish speaking, he suddenly frowned.

It seemed as if he had been attacked suddenly.

Xu Wuchen glanced at Gu Qinghan, who had a smile on his face as if provoking him, and gently tickled the soles of Gu Qinghan's feet with his white and slender fingers as a small punishment.

"Master Emperor, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Xu Wuchen's strange expression, Luo Yaoguang narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Xu Wuchen suspiciously and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Or is there something wrong?"

Xu Wuchen's current performance made Luo Yaoguang feel vaguely familiar.

Taking a look at Gu Qinghan who was sitting next to her, Luo Yaoguang had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Nothing, maybe the reward from Her Majesty the Empress just now is a bit too much for me." Hearing Luo Yaoguang's words, Xu Wuchen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please talk about business first. Is there any problem with the disaster relief? Hmm..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Wuchen suffered a severe blow again.

I just felt my scalp tingling.

Taking a look at the extremely restless Gu Qinghan, Xu Wuchen even had the urge to execute this extremely evil woman on the spot!

"Although we have seized a lot of assets from the vassal kings and filled the treasury, the Daqian Dynasty has been in deficit over the years. These assets are only enough to solve the most urgent needs. Even if they are used for disaster relief, what should we do in the future? After all, apart from natural disasters, what I care about most is man-made disasters!"

Luo Yaoguang sighed softly and said, "Besides, it may not be enough just for disaster relief. I wonder if the Imperial Master has any solution?"

"If we want to provide disaster relief to the people, there is actually a very simple way." Hearing the words of the empress, Xu Wuchen said calmly, "That is to raise funds! As long as we raise enough money, it can be used for disaster relief."

Xu Wuchen continued, "As long as we ask those noble families to raise funds and have them donate together with the people in other unaffected areas to help with the disaster, then we will not be short of money."

"The common people will donate first, and the noble families will donate later. After the matter is accomplished, the common people's money will be returned in full, and the gentry's money will be divided into 30% and 70%. This will not only solve the crisis of the Daqian Dynasty's fiscal deficit, but also provide disaster relief. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone! Hiss..."

As soon as Xu Wuchen finished speaking, he gasped and glanced at Gu Qinghan who was pretending to be innocent.

"The people's money will be returned in full, and the money of the aristocratic families will be divided into 30% and 70%. What can they do?!" The empress asked in surprise after hearing Xu Wuchen's words.

Obviously, Xu Wuchen's words were a little hard for her to accept.

"Of course they are unwilling to do it, but as long as we put absolute strength in front of them, what can they do?" Hearing the words of the empress, Xu Wuchen said indifferently, "And at that time, as long as there is one person to bear the infamy, it will be enough. Let the family suffer, and I will bear the infamy!"

"Sit in the hall, don't get caught in the wind and snow."

After Xu Wuchen finished speaking, he looked at the empress very calmly.

"You are worthy of being the Emperor's Teacher. What you said really makes me feel ashamed of myself!" Gu Qinghan's expression changed slightly when he heard Xu Wuchen's words. He looked at Xu Wuchen with longing, a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he was naturally charming.

At the same time, it seemed to be a reward for Xu Wuchen.

The fairy's jade feet gently stepped on Xu Wuchen.

"It's such a great honor for me to have the assistance of the Imperial Master!" Looking at Xu Wuchen in front of him with a calm and confident look, Luo Yaoguang couldn't help but say quietly, feeling infinite emotion in her heart.

As long as Xu Wuchen is willing to bear the infamy for her, then those aristocratic families and the civil service group will have no choice but to direct their criticism at Xu Wuchen even if they know that Xu Wuchen is just there to take the blame.

And they still have to obediently give up part of their assets!

"I don't even know how to reward the Imperial Teacher." After the empress said this, she slowly took off her white silk stockings and stepped towards Xu Wuchen with her bare feet.

"Um?!"

The next moment, the expressions of the empress and Gu Qinghan changed slightly, and then they slowly turned their heads and looked into each other's eyes.

"Why are your feet here too?" the two people asked in unison.

"..."

Looking at the two women in front of him, Xu Wuchen felt a stream of air rushing straight to the top of his head.

Cool.
