I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Chapter 693 The nobles were dissatisfied and overthrew the emperor

"Yes, compared to those pariahs, the nobles are the richest."

Samira sure as hell.

Looking at the surprised expression on Botiao's face, he put on a loyal look and said sincerely,
"The minister is completely loyal to His Majesty, that's why he made such an opinion."

"I didn't expect that among so many ministers and officials, you are the only one who is so loyal, Samira!"

Bo Tiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At the moment when the Guishuang Empire was facing a crisis, those officials and generals, like a feast of wine, could not make any suggestions.

Only Samira, not afraid of harming her own interests, resolutely put forward the proposal of taxing the nobles!

"Your suggestion is very good, but in this way, will it arouse the resentment of the nobles?"

Bo Tiao is not without concerns and authenticity.

The reason why he dismissed the idea of ​​taxing civilians was because he was afraid of arousing public anger and causing internal chaos.

If taxes are imposed on the nobles, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied.

"It is inevitable that they will be disgusted."

Samira nodded and said in a deep voice,
"But there is no way."

"If Your Majesty continues to tax the common people, those common people will not be able to survive, and a rebellion will naturally occur."

"The nobles are different. They are so rich that even if half of their wealth is taken away by His Majesty, they can still live a very good life."

"They will complain a few words at most, but they dare not take any action."

"After all, rebellion is equivalent to a capital crime. If it is not a last resort, they will gamble their lives and fortunes against you, Your Majesty?"

"Besides, now that powerful enemies are overwhelming the country, isn't it reasonable for those nobles, as His Majesty's subjects, to donate property to the country to defend against foreign enemies?"

Under Samira's eloquent and eloquent persuasion, Bodiao's frowning brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You're right."

"As my people, they should donate their assets to the country!"

Seeing that Bo Tiao was persuaded by herself, Samira struck while the iron was hot and continued,

"Your Majesty should levy additional taxes on them according to their titles. If they don't comply, they will be punished as treason and all their homes will be confiscated!"

"Okay, just do as you say!"

Bo Tiao nodded heavily, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

If there is no money to form a corps, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the Dragon Kingdom's army at all.

At that time, neither his throne nor the Guishuang Empire can be kept, so what is the use of these nobles?

After some careful deliberation, Samira got up to leave.

After leaving the palace, looking at the majestic and majestic building behind her, which symbolizes the highest power of the Guishuang Empire, Samira felt a little overwhelmed for a while!

Before long, this palace will be my own!
You must hurry up and complete the tasks assigned to you by His Majesty the Emperor.

A flash of determination flashed in Samira's eyes, she took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and walked towards her residence.

……

On the second day after Samira made a suggestion, Bodiao called a meeting of all the officials and announced the taxation of the aristocratic group.

Bodiao was very pleased with Samira's loyalty, so he didn't tell others that Samira was the mastermind behind the scenes.

As soon as the news that the nobles had to pay taxes came out, all the officials were in an uproar.

Several ministers persuaded Bo Tiao on the spot to give up the idea.

But now that Bo Tiao has been pushed to a dead end by the situation, how can he back down so easily?
He did not show any mercy, and arrested the ministers who opposed the most fiercely on the spot, and ordered their homes to be ransacked.

Seeing this situation, the rest of the noble ministers shut their mouths, but they were quite upset in their hearts.

Samira just watched quietly from the sidelines and didn't move.

After the meeting was over, just as Samira walked out of the palace, an official came up,
"Master Samira, Lord Drizzt, please go to the mansion to have a talk."

"understood."

Samira's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface she acted nonchalantly and nodded in response.

……

It was just getting dark.

Samira walked out of her home and came to the house of Chancellor Drizzt.

When he arrived, besides Drizzt, there were a dozen other noble officials in the hall.

"Lord Samira!"

Drizzt nodded towards Samira, looked at everyone present with a heavy expression,
"Everyone, now His Majesty wants to impose heavy taxes on us, what should we do?"

"The nobles don't pay taxes. This is the rule set by the late emperor. How can your majesty break the rule?"

"Yeah, I don't know which bastard suggested it to His Majesty, let me know, I will never spare him!"

Hearing this, Samira couldn't help touching her nose, her face a little embarrassed.

Drizzt stretched out his hand to stop everyone's complaints and dissatisfaction,

"Now is not the time to vent our dissatisfaction. Let's find a way to make His Majesty dispel this idea."

Everyone showed embarrassment.

Someone hesitated,
"Your Majesty's attitude is too firm, and it is not easy to persuade him."

During the day at the court, several old ministers threatened with their lives, but they failed to make Bodiao change his mind.

What else could they do?
When everyone was frowning, Samira on the side spoke softly,
"Actually, I have an idea."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked over.

"Master Samira, what good plan do you have, tell me quickly."

Drizzt couldn't help urging.

Samira glanced at the servants serving at the side of the hall, Drizzt reacted, and quickly waved to make those servants retreat.

After only Drizzt, Samira and other officials were left in the hall, Samira said slowly,

"Since His Majesty violated our privilege, why can't we change to another emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Everyone's heart was pounding with excitement.

What Samira said was outrageous, if Bo Tiao found out, he would lose his head!

Although Guishuang was founded less than 200 years ago, similar rebellions and mutinies often occurred.

Therefore, after the initial surprise, Drizzt, who was mature and prudent and used to seeing strong winds and waves, stroked his chin and murmured,

"It's not impossible, it's just that the timing is not right now..."

After all, the army of the Dragon Empire had already crossed the Amu Darya River, and was heading south rapidly, and might pounce on Peshawar at any time.

If everything goes well, that's okay, but if there are some disturbances, I'm afraid it will take advantage of the people of the Dragon Kingdom for nothing!

"My lords, don't worry."

Samira said softly,

"Actually, there is one thing I didn't tell our majesty. The reason why I was able to escape from Malacanda was not due to my luck."

"It was the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom who showed mercy and spared my life."

Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe what they heard.
