Just then Ji Chengxuan said ashamedly, "I also know that this request is really inappropriate, but if I don't fight for it, I won't be able to make ends meet, so what can I do to win over those people under my command? And those in the barracks, why should they give it?" Isn't it because I will take care of their rear?"
"It's like the last time a few soldiers died trying to protect me, and I have to make their parents, wives and children worry-free for the rest of their lives."
"I have to let other people see that it is guaranteed to fight for the future with me. Even if there is an accident and they sacrifice, their parents, wives and children will not be in trouble."
"But my foundation is too weak. Even if I rack my brains, I can't afford that much money. I want to sell my wife's dowry, but she won't let me use it. It's a coincidence that I got such a prescription. In fact, I can operate it secretly, but that is disrespectful, everything I have is given by the emperor, how dare I do it? How can I do such a thing?"
"So even though I know that the chances of the emperor agreeing to me are very small, I still have to run back and beg the emperor, because the only one who can help me is the emperor. Now that Ji Chengsi is in good health, he is going to marry Governor Tang again. His daughter, who controls one-fifth of the military power, and the huge financial resources of his mother's Feng family, everyone is about to fall on one side, after all, he is the orthodox heir, he is the son of the Hou family."
"In order to cure his disease, the old man even gave him most of the blood ginseng he took. Now he is collecting blood ginseng everywhere. It is said that as long as he gets enough blood ginseng, his disease can be completely cured."
"He has everything, but what do I have? I have nothing, but I am not willing to be suppressed by him like this. I can only spend money. Your Majesty, the only one who can help me is you."
"..."
The emperor naturally knew what he heard, but the salt tax is not a trivial matter.
"I can't promise you this matter right now, I still have to ask the other ministers what they think in the court." The emperor said so.
Because before and after he ascended the throne, the earth dragon turned over and returned to the cold wave, he was a little scared, so he was more diligent in going to the court at the moment, and he listened to the advice of the ministers, acting like a wise king.
Ji Chengxuan continued to apply eye drops, "Okay, then the emperor will ask the courtiers. If the courtiers refuse to agree, I have nothing to say, but I am afraid that I will pack up and leave Dingbei in the future, and take my wife and children to other places to seek a living." , Dingbei must become Ji Chengsi's one-word hall, if I want power but no power, want wealth but no wealth, what can I use to compete with him."
The emperor glanced at him, "I haven't heard what the ministers said, why are you in a hurry?"
"I can predict that, they will definitely not agree. After all, if the emperor puts this job on me again, then I will be too eye-catching. Last time, the emperor rewarded me with a third-rank official title and gave me two more. Beauty, you're using me again this time, how many people have I got in the way?" Ji Chengxuan sighed.
The emperor scolded, "Okay, let me think about this matter, just call that woman up, I want to see you."
Ji Chengxuan stopped talking and called Shuirou to serve him.
Seeing the graceful and juicy Shuirou, the emperor stopped talking and started talking to her.
There was admiration and shyness in Shuirou's eyes. When he held his hand, she trembled a bit, blushing like something.
"My lord, you...don't do this." She shyly called out as if she didn't know his identity.
This flattering voice caused the emperor, who was used to seeing beauties, to shake his heart.
