Chapter 430: The Difference Between the Abyss
Although he agreed to ascend the throne and become emperor, after Xiao Feng went back, it was as if nothing had happened.
According to the rules of the kings of the past, the name of the year has not changed, the dynasty has not changed, everything is according to the previous appearance, and there is no will.
In this way, everyone in the court was extremely surprised, and they couldn't figure out what Xiao Feng was doing, but in view of Xiao Feng being the prime minister after all, they didn't dare to continue to persecute him, so they had to send someone to discuss with Xiao Feng, and agreed to start the matter of ascending the throne in the spring of the next year.
After all, this enthronement involves a heavy load, and it would be fine if it was in a hurry, but now that the Huaxia Dynasty has stabilized, it naturally needs to have a big one, so that everyone knows about the birth of a new emperor.
After getting the news, Kang Guangsha was naturally very happy, and because of his first recommendation, he was promoted to be in charge of the enthronement ceremony.
But if you want to ascend the throne, the resources it consumes must be not small, and it requires a large number of personnel to cooperate, which is a headache for Kang Guangsha.
For this reason, he had no choice but to find Xiao Feng and explain his purpose.
"Do you want me to allocate funds to build an altar and a palace for Zen?" After hearing this, Xiao Feng suddenly became disgusted, which made Kang Guangsha stunned.
Kang Guangsha hurriedly replied: "That's right. To build the altar and the palace, it would cost three million dollars. Seeing Xiao Feng's surprised face, he hurriedly explained: "After all, the lord is preparing to ascend the throne, so it naturally needs a palace for rest." Even the maids and servants in the palace naturally need considerable expenses. If you say three million, I'm afraid it's not enough. ”
"It's just to ascend the throne, how can you need so much money?"
Xiao Feng's eyebrows were upside down, and he directly refused: "And I live well in Fenghuan Pavilion, where do I need any palace, waste money for no reason!"
Kang Guangsha was only surprised, and hurriedly explained: "But my lord, this is a necessary expense to maintain the emperor, otherwise how can it show the majesty of the royal family?" Earlier, he had imagined Xiao Feng's expression after hearing the news, thinking that Xiao Feng would be extremely happy because of this, but now Xiao Feng's extremely indifferent performance made Kang Guangsha feel frightened, as if he had become a livestock to be slaughtered, waiting for Xiao Feng to make a move.
Xiao Feng snorted lightly, and replied: "If you want to show the majesty of the emperor, you should focus on meritorious service, why do you need these temples and palaces to show your talents?" Without waiting for Kang Guangsha to continue arguing, he had already turned around and left, directly leaving Kang Guangsha here.
Seeing Xiao Feng's determination, Kang Guangsha panicked, feeling as if he had been left out in the cold, and all the plans he had made before seemed to have become a joke.
"I'm fortunate to have been planning so far, just to be able to rule the world, how can I just give up so easily?"
Seeing Xiao Feng's determination, Kang Guangsha's heart was so resolute that he had to turn around and leave, but he found that Zhang Wei and told him his invitation.
And after Zhang Wei heard this, he naturally shirked in every possible way, the reason why he catered to Kang Guangsha before was just because he didn't want to resist with everyone, and now it involves the most critical financial and tax issues, how can he give up easily?
The Huaxia Dynasty was in ruins, and silver money was needed everywhere, so where did it raise so much money just to build some useless palaces?
Seeing that Zhang Wei also had a refusal attitude, Kang Guangsha had no choice but to turn back and find Su Lan again.
"Do you mean that you wish I could provide this money so that I could build this palace?"
After hearing this, Su Lan couldn't help but shake his head and replied, "It's just a pity." Although there is a small amount of money in my clan, it is all spread throughout the country, and it is very difficult to come up with so much money in a while. ”
Kang Guangsha suddenly felt annoyed: "So, you don't plan to donate?"
"Definitely. I'm sorry that I just don't have enough money. Su Lan replied, and asked people to send Kang Guangsha away.
The reason why he catered to Kang Guangsha before, was just to be able to use this person's strength to promote Xiao Feng's ascension to the throne, but now that the goal has been achieved, he is naturally unwilling to continue to support, and as for the so-called money, it is impossible to provide it.
Kang Guangsha also felt resentful when he saw Su Lan so resolute, but because of the other party's status as an earth immortal, he had to leave in a huff.
Hitting the wall three times made Kang Guangsha sober up a little, but when he thought of the responsibilities he was shouldering now, he immediately fell into a dream, still thinking that this was just a test for himself, as long as he got through it, he would naturally be able to usher in a bright tomorrow.
For this reason, he went to the parliament again and proposed to collect taxes from the people of the world in order to raise funds for the construction of the palace.
However, before this proposal was completed, it was opposed by the Scholars, the Kuomintang, and the Labor Party, after all, these parties represented the big rich people in various places, and the taxes were already strict, but now it was unacceptable to raise taxes, and naturally they were directly rejected before they could be proposed.
Seeing that everyone was opposed, Kang Guangsha was even more stunned.
"Didn't you bastards say that they would support the lord and be the emperor together, and why are you now opposing me raising funds?"
"The former is the before, and the present is the present. Moreover, rash taxation will only increase the burden on the people. The people of the world are already suffering from bad governance, and now if we are like this, how can we convince everyone? Naturally, I can only apologize. Zhao Wenying explained.
Needless to say, Su Wei and Huang Fucheng already represented the interests of the big capitalists, and they only thought that they could reduce taxes so as to reduce their production costs, so how could they accept the matter of raising taxes, so they were afraid of pointing at Kang Guangsha and scolding them.
Even that Ye Li also held objections.
"If you are safe today, you will encourage the lord to build a large number of buildings, how different is this behavior to the villain? ”
"You guys. How can you be so selfish, and you should use me as a gunman?"
Being squeezed by everyone like this, Rao is so Kang Guangsha boasted that his skin was as deep as a city wall, and he also felt a churn in his chest, so he had to give up this plan.
Thinking of Xiao Feng's indifferent attitude, Kang Guangxia came to his senses and said in his heart: "It turns out that Xiao Feng has never believed me. Since then, he has developed hatred for Xiao Feng, but he also knows that his strength is low, and he only took advantage of Xiao Feng's victory to make some fame, if you want to use it to take revenge, it is really too difficult.
In desperation, he had no choice but to find Ye Li, because he knew that Ye Li had always communicated with Zhao Yu, and he might be able to start from here to get what he wanted.
That Ye Li also seemed to have expected Ye Li's arrival a long time ago, so he smiled and said, "Since serving as the Qin Heavenly Eunuch, how is this official position?"
"Hmph. You should also know that now this official position is just a fictitious position and has no practical significance, so why bury me like this?" Kang Guangsha pursed his lips, feeling annoyed when he thought of what had happened to him these days.
Whether it was Xiao Feng, the Executive Yuan, or the people in the parliament, they all had opposing opinions about him, which made him begin to understand that his previous scenery was just a pavilion in the wind, and he would be blown away if he blew it casually.
Ye Li closed his head and replied: "That's true. After all, this Huaxia Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are diametrically opposed, and if you want to act according to the rules of the Song Dynasty in the past, you will only hit your head and bleed. ”
Although he is not Kang Guangsha, he has also seen what happened to Kang Guangsha these days, and he is quite aware of everything that happened to Kang Guangsha.
"Hmph. ”
Kang Guangsha snorted lightly and scolded directly: "So you are here to secretly watch me suffer?" His tone paused, and then he shouted: "Say, what is the reason why you helped me before? Could it really be to help Xiao Feng become the emperor? According to me, you should not have such a good intention." ”
Previously, he showed off his might above the parliament and swept all directions, but with the help of Ye Li, otherwise it would not have been so easy.
Ye Li chuckled lightly and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"
"Hmm, could it be for that Zhao Yu?"
Kang Guangsha's eyes lit up, and he immediately remembered the rumors that he had first come to Chang'an, and immediately laughed: "Haha! That Zhao Yu is just a deposed emperor, and you actually want to help him become a real emperor." Isn't that too good?"
Everyone in Chang'an, who doesn't know that Zhao Yu is just a puppet, everything is held by Xiao Feng, so that Zhao Yu has no right to speak, so he can only be forced to stay in his own palace, and live by reading and writing every day.
Of course, now Zhao Yu is no longer the emperor, but abdicated and became the crown prince.
This made Zhao Hao very happy, glad that he was finally free from the emperor's shackles and could taste the taste of freedom.
Ye Li smiled: "Ha." I didn't expect you to be stupid, and you actually understood this section? But what are you doing now? How do you plan to choose? Do you tell Xiao Feng about me, or do you want to join us?"
The faint bewitchment in his mouth aroused Kang Guangsha's inner desire.
"Joining you?" Kang asked in a low voice, recalling what had happened to him earlier.
The previous encounter was really difficult for him to accept, and he even had a lot of bad feelings for Xiao Feng, Zhang Wei and even Su Lan and others, and even made him feel like a clown.
This feeling made Kang Guangsha extremely disgusted, and he just wanted to get rid of it.
Ye Li replied: "That's right, join us." You also know that Xiao Feng is now nearly sixty years old, although he relies on Xuangong to protect his body, he maintains his cultivation and does not fall. But one day, it will still pass away. All of them, who in this world can inherit her throne? Naturally, only Zhao Yu will be the only one! When Zhao Hao ascends the throne, with the assistance of us and others, he will naturally be able to fight the heroic wind, and how can you become what you are today?"
"Okay. ”
Kang Guangsha's heart was horizontal, and he immediately complained: "Please tell me, how should I do it?"
Such a plan is not a one-day effort, but a long-term plan.
Kang Guangsha was curious about how Ye Li planned to proceed now that Xiao Feng had officially become emperor.
"Huh. You should know that now that the Yuan Dynasty is about to move, is it going to make a move against our Dynasty?" Ye Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Since this is the case, then Xiao Feng will definitely go into battle in person in order to resist the Yuan Dynasty, and Chang'an will inevitably reveal a gap at that time." And that's when we make a move. ”
Kang Guangsha closed his head and replied: "Indeed." It's the best time to do it! It's just the first step, what are you going to do?"
"How? Naturally, let the prince be able to pro-government, otherwise where would we have the opportunity to meddle in Chang'an?" Ye Li said with a smile on his face.
