Chapter 285: Arrogant advance~)(2/2)

Gao Gonghui knelt in the hall with his three sons and nephews of the Gao family.

Empress Dowager Gao sat on the chair and looked down with a expressionless face.

Gao Gonghui looked up at Empress Dowager Gao for a while, then lowered her head and said, "Auntie, the Gao family's ancestral property is mostly in the north, among which Xiangfu County and Taikang County are the most, and there are Jingdong Road, etc., and my nephew... is deeply worried."

"What are you worried about?" Empress Dowager Gao said lightly.

Gao Gonghui lowered his head and said, "It is rumored outside that the 'Square Land Tax Law' is the first step to measure the land acres. The tax will be collected and the tax will be recovered for another twenty years..."

Empress Dowager Gao had a indifferent expression and looked at Gao Gonghui quietly.

Zhou He watched from the side and sighed softly. The Empress Dowager always wanted to be quiet and ignored the government affairs, but all of them came to the door, and they couldn't even hide.

Zhou He didn't know the truth or falsehood of the rumors outside, and he guessed that the Empress Dowager didn't know either.

The official in Funing Palace has always despised the ancestral law. If he forcibly collects taxes, it is not surprising that he will not accept it.

Gao Gonghui and his nephews looked at each other quietly, kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak.

Because of the "hostile" relationship between Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Xu, the Gao family did not dare to find Zhao Xu. In addition, there was no one in the court to protect him, so they could only ask for Empress Dowager Gao.

The Gao family has been prosperous for decades, especially the seven years since Empress Dowager Gao ruled behind the scenes. She was the number one relative in the world, and her wealth increased so much, especially in the field of land. If you really want to investigate, the 'bribery and bribery, clever plunder' and so on must be made public.

At that time, if the court had settled the matter, their Gao family would not have been searched for a hundred times!

Empress Dowager Gao was a little bored between her eyebrows, and she didn't know what she was bored with. She said calmly: "If you collect taxes, you can't pay them? If you really can't pay them, come and tell me, I'll pay them for you."

Of course it won't be a tax payment.

Gao Gonghui lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Auntie, some of it was the time of Emperor Yingzong, and it is really hard to explain it now. And there is also the court's brutal measurement that the court has given it so arrogantly... It would insult His Majesty Yingzong and the Emperor."

Zhou He looked at Gao Gonghui with a cool look on his face.

Empress Dowager Gao is the empress of Emperor Yingzong and the empress dowager of Emperor Shenzong. Gao Gonghui brought out two such people at once, which is really heartbreaking!

The Empress Dowager Gao's face was indeed cold. At the same time, she also heard the meaning hidden in Gao Gong's words and felt more angry.

"What do you want me to do?" Empress Dowager Gao suppressed her anger and said in a cold tone.

Gao Gonghui's face moved, his head hit the ground, and said, "Aunt, my nephew thinks that some places can be measured, and some places do not need to be measured. The government should focus on it and cannot be generalized."

Empress Dowager Gao snorted angrily, knocked on the table hard, and said, "I ask you, what should I do? Will I go and ask the official family? If the official family does not agree, I will die in front of him. Is that true?"

What Gao Gonghui thought was that during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, the Emperor Shenzong also carried out reforms and wanted to measure the land, but wasn’t he stopped by Empress Dowager Gao?

Gao Gonghui did not restrain himself because of Empress Dowager Gao's tone. He said in a panic and crying voice: "Aunt, those reformists will settle accounts in the autumn and sooner or later, you can't ignore it... The Duke of Qi was exiled to Lingnan. If we go too, no one will serve my aunt..."

Zhou He was frightened when he heard this. What was Gao Gonghui saying? He said that the Empress Dowager was under house arrest by the government and they were exiled. After Empress Dowager Gao died, no one was sent to death?

Bold!

Empress Dowager Gao's face turned pale, she slapped the table suddenly and said angrily: "Come on, call me!"

Immediately, several yellow sects and palace maids came in and surrounded Gao Gonghui and others.

Gao Gonghui's nephews were a little panicked. They didn't expect Gao Gonghui to be so bold and dare to say such words.

The official family is the grandson of the Empress Dowager!

Gao Gonghui carefully looked at Empress Dowager Gao, didn't dare to say anything more, and got up and walked out.

Empress Dowager Gao watched him leave coldly, and she was still furious.

Zhou He held his breath and concentrated. Empress Dowager Gao was forced to withdraw the curtain and return the government. It was her reverse scale. It hurts when touched, and few people dared to touch it!

Empress Dowager Gao was angry for a long time and gradually calmed down. After a long time of silence, she glanced at Zhou He and said, "Please ask the queen to come to me for dinner tonight."

This was the case in the past, but Zhou He knew that today would be different.

Zhou He wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only respond.

At this time, Zhao Xu was in the Chuigong Hall, reading memorials from all over the country.

Now the eyes of the government and the public are almost focused on the "Kaifeng Prefecture Pilot". They exaggerate the problems that arise, and they look like they are about to be in chaos in the world, which is alarmist. The words are quite intense between the lines in the memorial book.

Zhao Xu read more than 20 books in a row, basically opposing reforms, describing the various tragic situations of Kaifeng Prefecture's pilot reforms and the major problems that will arise. He begs Zhao Xu to think twice and stop the implementation of the "new law" immediately.

"This is intimidating me..."

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and said with a light breath.

Chen Pi stood beside him, glanced at the side door, and said, "Official family, this is yesterday, today's, it will be at noon."

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let Zhongshu write briefly, I am too lazy to read these. By the way, what are you busy with in the Qingtiaofang?"

Chen Pi waved his hand and retreated to the yellow gate standing in the hall, and went up to whisper: "Officials, all the ministers are meeting with the ministers of various ministries in the Political Affairs Hall. Gao Gonghui and others enter the palace, which seems to arouse the vigilance of Xianggong Zhang. He sent people to the inner court to find out the news three times and four times. In addition, the Empress Dowager asked the Empress to have dinner at the Cining Hall for dinner."

Zhao Xu nodded, looked towards the direction of the Political Affairs Hall, and said, "The reactions of Mr. Zhang and others are not surprising, and grandmother's are not surprising. If you go and tell the queen, just say that you feel uncomfortable and don't go. Go less in the future, go to my little girl more."

Chenpi bowed unchangedly and said, "Yes, the villain will go now."
