Chapter 685: He just wants to be willful
Everyone knelt down and shouted again and again: "Xiaguan dare not!"
"Hmph, I think you are very brave!" Jing Ruofeng snorted coldly.
The Minister of Hukou immediately said respectfully: "I dare not to be an official, but the spring ploughing is coming soon, and we need to allocate a lot of good seeds to various places, and we need to build a lot of water conservancy projects. rather worried.”
Jing Ruofeng pointedly said: "Rather than worrying about Xiacheng's taxation, Aiqing should collect the arrears of various ministries and officials first. This is also a way to replenish the national treasury."
"What's more, there was no tax from Xiacheng in previous years, so you still have to deal with spring ploughing and water conservancy projects. Do you think I'm a fool?"
This made him more angry. These officials usually don't do anything. What do they like to stare at Xiacheng?
Recently, there were even a lot of people who asked him to guard against Ning Xi, fearing that Xiacheng would be too strong and affect the imperial power.
Does he not even have the right to favor a junior? They need to keep talking and reminding them in their ears one by one.
Hmph, he just wants to be self-willed, so he likes to spoil Ningxi and mind their shit!
Jing Ruofeng also did not think that the growth of Ningxi's Xiacheng would affect the imperial power. There were so many generations of the Ning family who were loyal to the imperial court.
"The emperor made atonement, the lower officials dare not wait!" A group of people accused again and again.
At this time, they also knew the emperor's bottom line. Anyway, when it comes to the matter of this little prince Ning, the emperor's heart is boundless.
The first prince and the third prince couldn't help being jealous, how could their father be like this? They dote on Ning Xi more than their sons, why!
If Ning Xi didn't look like the former Prince Ning and his wife, they would all doubt whether Ning Xi was the illegitimate son of their father.
Ning Xi was warm, and the emperor always took good care of her. Like Jing Ruoyang, he played a role similar to his father.
She originally planned to give color to the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, but she stopped because of the emperor's protection.
That's all, don't beat people on a day of rejoicing!
Jing Ruofeng's expression softened a little, "Okay, the ten-year exemption for Xiacheng is a reward to Ning Xi for defeating the enemy this time. If you have the ability, I can also give you a strong reward."
"Yes! Your Majesty is wise!" The officials smiled bitterly. If the emperor is so self-willed, what can they do?
But Ning Xiaowang's position in the emperor's heart is really unshakable!
If someone else had made such military exploits and gained great prestige and many admirers among the people, the emperor would definitely be jealous or suspicious.
I don't know what the emperor was thinking.
"Many thanks to the emperor for his trust, Ning Xi will protect the country of Yin well in his entire life, and will be loyal to the emperor and patriotic!" Ning Xi went out and expressed a promise to the emperor.
As for Ning Xi, who usurped power and rebelled, she had never thought about it. The emperor and the crown prince treated her so well. If she had such thoughts, then she would be too ungrateful and have no such thoughts.
Hearing Ning Xi's sonorous words similar to a promise, many courtiers breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their praise.
The bottom of Jing Ruofeng's eyes was dyed with a warm color, and Ning Xi would never let him down, "Okay! This piece of our country will be guarded by you young people in the future, and I believe you will do well!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Ning Xi's sense of identity and belonging to the country of Yin gradually sublimated, and she will protect her homeland.
