That night Luo Qinghan went back to Weiyang Palace to sleep.

next morning.

Luo Qinghan finished washing up, and when he was having breakfast, he suddenly remembered what happened to Chen Wanyi last night, and instructed Eunuch Chang, the big goose who was standing beside him.

"I spread my will, Chen Wanyi lost her honor in front of the royal family, and removed her green head card, and there is no need to announce her to serve in the bed in the future."

"Here."

Although the emperor never called his concubines to serve in the bed, but like Chen Wanyi, who was bluntly told by the emperor that he no longer needed to serve the bed, it was the first part of the harem.

After the matter spread, it immediately caused a lot of fluctuations in the harem.

Those concubines who were eager to go to the emperor's face before, all calmed down a lot at this time.

They thought they could take advantage of the time when the imperial concubine was grounded, and go to the emperor to show a wave of goodwill.

However, Chen Wanyi's lesson was in front of them, which made them all a little scared. If they were like Chen Wanyi, and they didn't have a good impression, but instead annoyed the emperor, it would not be worth the loss.

In the Ningxin Hall, Chen Wanyi almost fainted after hearing the content of the imperial edict.

She gritted her teeth to hold on.

When the person who sent the imperial decree left, Chen Wanyi couldn't hold it anymore and fell on the soft couch.

When she thought that she would no longer be able to serve in bed in the future, she could only be a widow for the rest of her life. What was the difference between this and being put into a cold palace?

She came out of grief, fell on the desk and cried aloud.

Inside the Misty Rain Palace.

Liu Xu told the concubine Chen Wanyi about Chen Wanyi's punishment, and there was a bit of schadenfreude in her words.

"Let her be so embarrassed, she will suffer now!"

Concubine Tu also laughed for a while, and then showed a thoughtful look.

"It is also imitating Concubine Xiao, why did the concubine succeed in being favored by the emperor? But Chen Wanyi was rejected by the emperor?"

Liu Xu pouted: "Probably the imperial concubine's acting skills are better, and she imitated more like Concubine Xiao."

Concubine Tuberculosis: "It shouldn't be that simple."

Catkins looked at her puzzled.

But Concubine Tuber did not continue this topic, but asked another matter.

"It will be my father's birthday in two days. Are the gifts ready?"

Liu Xu nodded: "It has been prepared according to your instructions."

In the afternoon of that day, Concubine Tuberculosis went to the imperial study in person to ask to see the emperor.

She mentioned her father's birthday and wanted to go out of the palace to celebrate her father's birthday.

Concubine Concubine's father was the imperial master and teacher of Luo Qinghan.

Looking at the teacher's face, Luo Qinghan agreed to Concubine Tuberculosis's request without saying a word.

Concubine Tuberculosis wanted to spend more time with the emperor, but the emperor was so busy with business affairs that he didn't have the time to pay attention to her, so he sent her out directly.

The concubine was extremely disappointed and reluctantly left.

Two days passed in a flash.

The concubine tuberculosis went out of the palace to celebrate her father's birthday.

Today, the Bai Mansion is extraordinarily lively, with full of guests and laughter everywhere.

This time, Concubine Tuberculosis was very low-key, and she deliberately did not let anyone pass the word, and quietly entered the White House through the back door.

As long as someone passes it on, the title of Concubine Tuberculosis will definitely be mentioned.

Where will she put her face at that time?

So she simply won't let people pass it on.

...

Early this morning, the emperor publicly announced that he would reform the tax system.

This news exploded like a bomb above the courtroom.

Everyone was caught off guard.

People kept coming out to dissuade him, hoping to dispel the emperor's idea.

However, the emperor stood his ground and was unwilling to compromise.

The two sides were deadlocked.

Today's early morning broke up unhappily.

After the court meeting, the six cabinet ministers followed the emperor to the imperial study.

The emperor asked them what they thought about reforming the tax system?

Of the six, three expressed disapproval, two expressed neutrality, and only one expressed support.

The only person who supports him is Wan Jun.

Wan Jun was originally the Prince's Taishi. After the Prince's accession to the throne, he was promoted to Taishi, and at the same time, he was appointed to the cabinet and became a first-rank official, becoming a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

He is now in his seventies and is the oldest among the six cabinet ministers.

Due to his poor health, he usually does not enter the palace, and only shows up at the 15th ceremonial meeting every month.

The emperor sympathized with his old age and frailty, and would not bother him unless necessary.

As a supporter of tax reform among the six cabinet ministers, Wan Jun immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Wan Jun said calmly.

"Weichen thought that tax reform was imperative, but what several other colleagues said was also true. The tax system is related to the country's capital. Reforming the tax system is equivalent to shaking the country's capital. We must be cautious and must not act too hastily."

He said these words in a gentle and gentle manner, coupled with his old-fashioned appearance, so that the three cabinet ministers who wanted to scold him for his shameless words were embarrassed to speak.

But what should be opposed is still opposed.

The three spoke one after another, emphasizing the harm caused by the tax reform.

They were all intellectuals, and they represented the cutting edge of the dynasty's intellectual level, and they were extremely good at debating.

When they speak, they are all citing scriptures, and they are straight-forward.

The other two cabinet ministers who held a neutral attitude did not speak. Only when their names were clicked would they speak a few words to show that they were indeed listening.

No matter how the other three refuted, Wan Jun was always that gentle, neither angry nor anxious.

The atmosphere seems to be calm, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging.

Luo Qinghan sat at the top, quietly watching them fight.

It wasn't until it was late that he sent the people away, leaving only Wan Jun alone.

Luo Qinghan got up, walked over, and sat down beside Wan Jun.

He touched the cup in front of Wan Jun and found that the tea was a little cold, so he immediately asked Wan Jun to change a cup of hot tea.

Wan Jun quickly thanked him.

Luo Qinghan looked at his cloudy eyes and sighed softly, "I didn't expect the teacher to support tax reform."

Although Luo Qinghan no longer needs a teacher to teach, but he is a teacher for one day and a father for life, he still calls Wan Jun a teacher in private to show respect.

In fact, Wan Jun also came from an aristocratic family.

The tax reform will affect the interests of the family, and Wan Jun should oppose it.

But he was unexpectedly supportive.

This is what Luo Qinghan didn't expect.

Wan Jun asked slowly, "Did Your Majesty expect that many people would oppose the tax reform?"

Luo Qinghan nodded: "The interests are related, and it is understandable to object."

Wan Jun: "Then you want to continue?"

Luo Qinghan: "Some things have to be done by someone."

The family monopolized most of the country's resources, but the people who could pay the taxes were the common people.

This is equivalent to feeding the entire country by relying on the civilians at the bottom.

Not to mention fairness and injustice, the system itself is deformed.

This is like a frail body with a huge head. If the body cannot become strong, the overly large head will only become a drag on the body. Sooner or later, the body will completely collapse because it cannot bear the weight. Lose.

So reform is imperative.

Wan Jun looked at the young emperor in front of him and couldn't help feeling emotional.

"Even if you become an emperor, you are still the same as you were back then."

A solitary, selfless.
