The happy coffin is opened, all ghosts disperse, the princess comes from hell

Although Xiao Chenyan had been away from the capital for a long time, Prime Minister Zuo managed the court very well, and Xiao Chenyan only had to come back for a visit.

When the death of the old emperor gave the civil and military officials a wake-up call, and the court officials all knew the power of the monarch they would be loyal to in the future, those thoughts of cheating and cunning had long since disappeared.

Therefore, in the past few months when Xiao Chenyan was away from Beijing, all the officials were extremely well-behaved and so efficient that even the left prime minister was surprised.

For these government matters, Xiao Chenyan can remember them all at a quick glance.

He was basically satisfied with the left prime minister's handling of the issue, except for one.

"Why should the two-year tax exemption be postponed until after the year?"

The Prime Minister Zuo said: "Your Highness is generous. The new king will be more kind to the people when he ascends the throne. At that time, the people will be exempted from taxes for two years. I think it will make the people appreciate your benevolent government, Your Highness."

Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes: "Have you already collected this year's taxes?"

"Yes."

"The people of Dayong have not been living well in the past few years." Xiao Chenyan suddenly said: "After I ascend the throne, the policy of exempting taxes for two years will not be changed. In addition, all taxes collected this year will be returned to the people."

"Your Highness?" Zuo Xiang was stunned.

Xiao Chenyan tapped the table lightly: "Let the people have a good year."

"Prime Minister Zuo." Xiao Chenyan said softly: "As a king, he has the country and the country on his shoulders. He should fulfill his responsibilities. There is no need for the people to be grateful."

"Life is so difficult for the people. I want the people of Dayong to have more hope in life."

"This is what I want to practice."

The left prime minister's eyes were slightly moist, he put his hands together and bowed to his forehead: "I obey the decree, and on behalf of all the people, I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness."

Xiao Chenyan waved his hand and didn't care about this.

Prime Minister Zuo took a deep breath and calmed down, "Your Highness means well, but tomorrow is New Year's Eve. This year's taxes have been collected. I'm afraid it will be too late to return them to the people before the end of the year."

"Just ask the Ministry of Accounts to prepare the money and account books." Xiao Chenyan said: "For things that cannot be done by humans, we need to use ghosts and gods."

"Have you forgotten, Prime Minister Zuo? Today, I, Dayong, do not only have manpower."

Prime Minister Zuo was startled and his eyes lit up: "What His Highness said is that the old minister is stupid and has forgotten this!"

"The Prime Minister is just not used to it yet."

As Xiao Chenyan said this, he called Zi Fox, Croton and Lin Fanghe over with his voice transmission.

The Luoyue Mountain spirits who came to Beijing this time were headed by Zi Fox, and Lin Fanghe was the deputy commander of the Yinghun Army.

Croton's ability can communicate with the forest, vegetation, and monsters, which can also be of great use.

Xiao Chenyan asked the three people to cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs to handle the matter, and the taxes collected must be returned to the people before the new year.

It's just a good time to take this opportunity to let the people get familiar with the Xia Zhen Mo Si and the Heroic Soul Army.

"Your Highness!" Zuo Xiang took the opportunity to say: "I have an unkind request."

Xiao Chenyan saw through it at a glance: "Does the Prime Minister Zuo want to accompany you?"

The Prime Minister Zuo nodded, "We will serve as officials in the same court together in the future, and I also want to know more about my colleagues in the future."

He said, and smiled a little shyly: "It's better to adapt as soon as possible to avoid making a fuss in the future."

Xiao Chenyan couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Chenyan was grateful in his heart for this humerus in the court.

The Dayong court had been messed up by the old emperor for so many years, and it was on the verge of collapse but never fell. Part of the reason was because there were many loyal and direct ministers like Zuo Xiang in the court.

They are loyal to Dayong and their original intentions. They always want to support the country and the generals, and have all the people in their hearts.

"In that case, Prime Minister Zuo will follow General Lin."

Purple Fox and Croton'er were both unreliable, and Xiao Chenyan was still worried that the old man would be scared if he got along with them.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After Zuo Xiang saluted, he couldn't wait to follow Lin Fanghe and left.

Watching Zuo Xiang leave, Xiao Chenyan pondered for a while. Zuo Xiang was only in his forties now, but his hair was as white as an old man.

He probably also has a serious old illness, which may affect his longevity.

Xiao Chenyan thought of some of the excerpts he had read before. There were many capable ministers and good officials like Zuo Xiang in the court, and most of them had his name on them.

It’s the New Year’s Eve.

Naturally, this is a major award.

It deserves a punishment, no one can escape.

However, Xiao Chenyan is not in a hurry to punish some people, and only tortures them by cutting their flesh with a knife.

What's more, now that the imperial court is employing people, even if it wants to kill the donkey, it has to wait until it is removed.

But anyway, some people don’t want to have a good year!

And now, of course, he has to go back home to celebrate the New Year with his little Douding.

When he was about to leave the palace, Yun Zheng also came over. Xiao Chenyan saw a wry smile on his face, and then he guessed the reason:

"Did you get kicked out by Xie Shu?"

Yunzheng sighed: "Ashu is no longer the same Ashu. His temper is getting worse and worse. As soon as I entered his office, he told me to get out."

Of course what Xie Shu said was not the word 'go', but Xie Shaoqing had a hundred ways to send guests off without using any curse words.

Xiao Chenyan smiled: "Then you must have offended him first."

Yun Zheng looked away guiltily. He was just too excited when he regained his memory and messed up all the files in Xie Shu's room.

Now when that guy saw him, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and regarded him as a savage beast. He even ordered him not to enter Dali Temple in the future.

Is there such a brother?

"Ayan, you still look like a thing." Yun Zheng put his arm around Xiao Chenyan's shoulders.

Xiao Chenyan glanced at him and said, "Are you going to live in the palace from now on, or go back to your old house?"

The old house naturally refers to the former Zhenguo Hou Mansion. Later Yun Houxing and his family moved in. After Yun Houxing ransacked his house and beheaded him, the house became vacant again.

Yunzheng is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, so naturally the property of the Hou Mansion in Zhenguo must be returned to him.

"Wherever Wuwu is, I, the elder brother, will naturally be there too. Don't you welcome her?"

"I don't dare." Xiao Chenyan curled his lips slightly.

He didn't dare to offend his bad friend and brother-in-law, otherwise, his little female ghost would definitely kick him out of bed and send him to sleep in the study.

Yun Zheng was quite proud and suddenly remembered something, "I heard that Yun Houxing was given the old house to live in. I don't know if they touched the house after they moved in."

Xiao Chenyan recalled: "It doesn't seem like there has been much movement. The old secret rooms in your study are still there."

When he and Qing Wu came back to deliver paper people and horses, he had observed that the mansion was still the same as before.

Yun Zheng's eyes lit up, "The dog hole is still there?"

Xiao Chenyan gave him a wary look and wanted to throw the guy's arm away: "What do you want to do again?"

"Have you forgotten the box we buried in the ground next to the dog hole? I wonder if it is still there..."

Xiao Chenyan: "I forgot, there is no such thing as a dog hole."

He pushed Yunzheng away and walked away quickly.

"A Yan! Why are you running away? Have you really forgotten? Then I'll go look for it myself. Oh, I remember that what's buried in that box is the dowry I saved for my family, Wuwu."

"Back then, someone claimed to be Wu Wu's brother. He also put makeup on it and stuffed a letter inside. I don't know what the letter said..."

Xiao Chenyan stopped walking quickly, then came back quickly, locked Yun Zheng's throat with an expressionless face, covered his mouth, and dragged him away.

Xiao Chenyan: "..."

Damn it, I almost forgot the incriminating evidence buried there when I was young!

If Little Douding saw those letters, he would probably...

Will not survive until the beginning of the year.
