The Imperial Palace of the Eastern Tang Kingdom, the Imperial Study Room.

Xuanyuan Wanrong, who had gone down to the court, sat face to face with Xu Que at this time, facing each other.

"So... as you said, if we want to leave here, we need to pass this test, and the test is to spend our lives here safely?"

Xuanyuan Wanrong sat upright on the chair and asked.

Xu Que fiddled with the crown on his hand and said casually: "That's right, according to my experience, as long as we can die smoothly, we can go out."

When Xuanyuan Wanrong heard this, she glanced at her beautiful eyebrows and began to think.

If you are a mortal, you have to stay with this guy for at least a few decades?

...

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Que did not take the initiative to find topics, but began to check the system.

Like my previous experience, the system functions are now limited.

However, this time it seems that the system itself made changes. Except for collecting pretentious values, redemption and storage functions, all other functions cannot be used.

"Damn!"

Everything else was fine, but when he saw the redemption function, Xu Que was so shocked that he sweared.

The price of exchanged items for technology has increased by hundreds of times, and as for items classified as cultivating immortals, it has increased by thousands of times!

Only traditional martial arts is cheap!

"Holy dog, system, please explain to me what's going on?"

"Ding, the system has detected that it is currently in a low-martial environment. Given that the host needs to undergo experience, all redemption items that exceed the rules in this system mall will have a normal premium."

Can this premium be called normal?

Now I can exchange for any ordinary talisman, and it will cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to show off!

Of course, this is not the worst!

Xu Que discovered something even more excessive. Due to the changes in the environment, all the accumulated pretentious value has been frozen and cannot be used at all!

But when I was just pretending to be in the hall, I saved up ten points of pretentious value!

"Dog system, not human!"

Xu Que cursed.

At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was standing beside her, suddenly spoke: "Since that's the case, then let's wait here until we die."

Xu Que was stunned. It turns out that you were thinking about this for a long time?

"Yes, but I have a condition." Xu Que thought for a while and said, "You have to hand over the authority, and I will take over Dongtang."

"impossible!"

Xuanyuan Wanrong refused without hesitation.

Although she didn't know much about Xu Que's ability in governing the country, with his previous temperament, Xuanyuan Wanrong had no doubt that this guy would probably destroy the Eastern Tang Kingdom in less than half a year.

"Hey, I am the emperor, do you understand?" Xu Que said with a big thorn, "You are sleeping except practicing and know how to govern the country."

"That can't be handed over to you," Xuanyuan Wanrong said calmly, "What's more, you don't know how to govern the country either."

Xu Que snorted coldly: "You are teasing me, I don't know how to govern the country? If I were asked to come, what else would happen to Qin? Do you know what the emperor of the age is? I am talking about!"

But no matter how Xu Que lobbies, Xuanyuan Wanrong just doesn't want to delegate power.

In her words, Xu Que's temperament is too reckless and has no rules in his work, especially his violent temper who is fearless and fearless. How could she be relieved if she ruled a country?

After all, the demise of the country here means that their fate will be terrible, even more terrible than death.

"Why are you so stubborn? Do you really think you are a genius? Governing the country is not as simple as you think!" Xu Que was almost angry and jumped up.

"You know it's not easy. I'll take control of everything. It's always safer than you do it." Xuanyuan Wanrong's eyes were calm and her tone was firm.

"You..." Xu Que glared, knowing that he could not convince this woman no matter what, so he simply stopped talking nonsense.

"Okay, I see when you can control it." Xu Que shook his sleeves and left.

The two of them ended in a bad mood.

Soon, a night passed.

The next day, as soon as dawn, Xuanyuan Wanrong got up early and went to the hall to pay a morning court.

Xu Que also came, and he came earlier, and occupied the dragon throne in advance with just one butt.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was too lazy to compete with him, so she sat down at the phoenix mat seat beside her.

After the civil and military officials from all court came to court, they all saw the two of them sitting high, and their faces were full of shock.

The emperor is sick again?

No!

Wasn't yesterday still fine?

Why is this happening again today?

The key is what happened to the Queen? She actually gave up the dragon throne?

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't dare to talk about this matter.

"Report to the Empress!" At this time, a minister stood up impatiently and stepped forward to give advice.

He seemed very anxious and stopped shouting at the emperor, and continued:

"Qi Xi Empress, the northwest has been drought for years and famine is severe, and it is notorious and needs funds to provide disaster relief!"

"famine?"

When Xuanyuan Wanrong heard this, she did not immediately wrinkle slightly and her face was solemn.

Unexpectedly, I encountered a problem on this first day!

Yesterday she checked the recent memorials overnight and basically understood the situation of the country.

The national strength is not strong, and although the troops are strong, they can only protect themselves temporarily, which is even worse than those countries in the Five Elements Mountains before.

However, the small problem of famine can still be solved!

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Wanrong waved her hand and said loudly: "I will announce the will of this palace, open the national treasury, and provide disaster relief to the world."

Chih!

Xu Que couldn't help but laughed out loud.

That's the level?

Are you embarrassed to say that you can govern the country?

...

Xuanyuan Wanrong glanced at Xu Que coldly, with a slightly slight eyebrows, not understanding what he meant.

"It's okay, you keep going." Xu Que suppressed his smile and waved his hand.

He was not idle last night, and he read all the national affairs over the years and had already read them in his heart.

Because the Dongtang Kingdom is located in a remote location, agriculture and trade have not developed well, and the country's economy is not strong.

The key is to resist foreign invasions. A few years ago, the silver in the national treasury had been used to recruit soldiers and horses, and it was all used in battle.

Now the entire treasury has almost very little deposit. Can the treasury be opened to provide disaster relief?

What a relief!

"Report to the Empress, the national treasury... there is no more silver at present." The Minister of Revenue came out with a tough bullet.

He presided over the Ministry of Revenue, managed the treasury, and could not understand a country's inventory.

Now let alone disaster relief, it is already good to be able to barely maintain the country's operation. The key is that he, the Minister of Revenue, was so worried that he could only maintain his hair.

“…”

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Wanrong's face also calmed down, thought for a little while, and said in a deep voice: "Since that is the case, then taxes will be imposed nationwide to support severe drought areas."

Wow!

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers were upset.

The northwest is now famine, but life for people everywhere is not easy.

Temporary taxation undoubtedly increases the burden on the people. I am afraid that a family will have to ask for a divorce from his wife and children.

The key is that this move will definitely cause protests from the people. Not only will it not be able to collect much money, but it will also arouse public anger, which will not be worth the loss!

The Empress has always been wise and powerful before, so why did she suddenly take such a step and make a fool of herself?

The ministers looked at each other and were confused.

However, due to Xuanyuan Wanrong's former majesty, no one dared to come out to expose it, and no one dared to stop it.

Until I went down to the court.
