"Pass on my orders! From now on, the taxes of all the people of Northern Qi will be reduced by half!”
This order was printed with a seal and then posted all over Northern Qi.
The empress dowager did not stop them at all. They even added fuel to the fire and helped Tantai Yue spread the news throughout Northern Qi.
It could be said that even the mountains and wilderness knew about this news at the first moment.
As expected, when this news spread, all of Northern Qi was in an uproar! Countless people were stunned. Just as Lin Tian and the others had expected, the people all over the world cheered, shouting that Tantai Yue was a Saint Emperor.
The commoners did not know that much. They only knew that whoever gave them a good life was a good person.
Therefore, Tantai Yue's actions had undoubtedly gained the support of the people of the world.
However, at this moment, the Empress Dowager and the others in the Feng Luan Palace revealed cold smiles.
"This little Emperor is indeed a little too eager for quick success.”
"In recent years, there have been years of war and famine everywhere. Northern Qi's treasury has long been emptied.”
"Although reducing taxes can make the people live better lives, it won't be able to support the operations of Northern Qi. The chaos that this would cause would far exceed the famine.”
"When the time comes, we won't even be able to take out the salary of the officials and soldiers. Let's see if Northern Qi will still be in chaos!”
A few powerful ministers of the Empress Dowager said excitedly. The Empress Dowager also smiled.
Finally, when the powerful officials left, she looked at the moonlight outside the window and said excitedly in her heart.
"Soon, in a little while, it will be the day my son ascends to the throne!”
"Old man! Back then, you forcefully brought me into the harem. You didn't expect that today, the inheritance of your Tantai Imperial Family would end in my hands, right?”
The Empress Dowager's words contained a wealth of information. Everyone knew that the late Emperor only had one child, and that was Tantai Yue.
Then who was the son the Empress Dowager was talking about? Without a doubt, it was definitely not the bloodline of the previous emperor. What happened back then might be the true secret.
Divine Martial Palace.
"Brother Tian, the world is indeed shaken. The public opinion of the people has reached an extremely high level.”
Tantai Yue said excitedly. She had obtained the support of the people. As long as Tantai Yue did not lose the support of the people, the throne would be unshakable.
However, at this moment, Meng Yi said with a worried expression.
"But the Empress is also prepared. Although His Majesty has the support of the people, there are hidden dangers.”
"First, the national treasury is unable to make ends meet. Now that the border is in chaos, if we can't even take out the soldiers 'salary, even if it doesn't cause a riot, it will cause morale to drop.”
"At that time, the war will sweep through the country and the Empress Dowager will make a move. His Majesty will definitely be criticized by thousands of people.”
Meng Yi could be said to be a high-level spy, which was why he could not hide anything from the Empress Dowager.
Lin Tian's expression was calm, because this was something that he had long expected. Now that the national tax had been reduced, the national treasury was tight, and it would even affect the interests of officials everywhere.
However, Lin Tian was already prepared. He followed the plan.
After making the arrangements, Lin Tian continued to sit in the royal study to deal with government affairs.
As for Tantai Yue, she had fallen asleep at the side.
" System, activate the monthly lottery."
Lin Tian said excitedly.
In the past three months, Lin Tian had been accumulating the monthly lottery draw because it was about to reach a crucial time. Perhaps it was the time to have a head-on conflict with the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, Lin Tian had kept these three monthly lottery draws until now. If he drew something good, he could even turn everything around in an instant.
Everything Lin Tian had done now could at most make Tantai Yue invincible. Unless Lin Tian was willing to fall out with him and expose Meng Yi, the 30,000-strong army would kill the empress dowager and even wipe out the imperial court.
However, the consequences of doing so would undoubtedly attract the attention of the two martial grandmasters behind the empress dowager.
Longxi's Li Clan's Great Grandmaster, as well as the Great Grandmaster hidden in the Imperial Palace.
Facing the grandmaster, Lin Tian was still a little respectful. This was because if a martial grandmaster were to assassinate someone, very few people in the world would be able to withstand it.
、
Unless Lin Tian was willing to have an army of tens of thousands of soldiers or a group of high-level martial artists protecting him.
Therefore, this time, he would completely fall out with the empress dowager. Whether he could fight against the martial grandmaster would depend on the three monthly draws.
"The monthly lottery draw is in progress!"
This was the first time Lin Tian had drawn three times in a row, so he was still a little excited.
"Congratulations, Master, for obtaining Barrett Destruction!”
"Congratulations, Master, for obtaining the character Mei Changsu, Mei Lang of Jiang Zuo!”
"Congratulations, Master, for obtaining the organization, Great Ming Dynasty-3,000 Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
Three draws were indeed extraordinary. The things he obtained were all unimaginably good.
Lin Tian clicked to view and immediately saw the detailed introduction of the three items.
[Barrett Destruction: From the game " Crossing Fire ". It is an exceptional technological weapon. Its power far exceeds the original Barrett sniper rifle. Its power is so great that it can kill a grandmaster!]
Of course, to kill a martial grandmaster, one had to hit the target first! A martial grandmaster was no longer a mortal. He was extremely fast, and it was difficult for ordinary archers to hit him.
However, since the Barrett Destruction was known as an exceptional technological weapon, it was naturally extraordinary. Since bullets were unlimited, if one shot couldn't hit the target, then ten shots or even a hundred shots would be fired!
