Just like this, another half month passed, and Daning ushered in the new year.

The sixteenth year of Yuanwu is over.

For Daning, this year is of great significance.

The war that lasted for five years finally ended with Daning's victory. Daning withstood the disaster of four disasters. The king of Wei and Emperor Liang traveled thousands of miles to come to sue for peace. Daning's national prestige reached its peak!

Although the war exhausted the country and left it impoverished, it also ushered in a new beginning.

The victory of the war was not celebrated with much fanfare, and the years naturally could not pass by in a blur.

The capital city was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky, lasting for a long time...

Not just in the capital, everyone was celebrating, except for one place... Lin'an City, the capital of Jiangzhou and now the capital of the Southern Dynasties!

It should have been the most prosperous and lively place, but now it is very desolate.

The decline of the Southern Dynasty directly affected the people of the city, so they naturally had no intention of celebrating.

After paying the autumn tax, they became a laughing stock, and even became a joke among the people in Jianghuai.

However, the trouble finally stopped. The autumn tax was taken from the people and should be turned over to the court. If the Southern Dynasty embezzled it, the people would not agree.

Then the disadvantages became apparent!

Linxian King Wen Xu had sent out many letters to solicit local officials and powerful people. Even the capital had many people secretly communicating with him and flirting with him.

But after the autumn tax was paid, all contact was interrupted, most of the letters he sent were turned over, and all the people he secretly wanted to win over surrendered.

Take a look!

I would rather risk beheading than have anything to do with them.

This result was expected. They were determined to realize their shame and then be brave. Paying the autumn tax would at least give them a chance to breathe. After His Majesty leaves the capital, there will be no one in the capital to take charge. Isn't this an arbitrary act?

But not long after, "bad news" came... His Majesty has appointed the crown prince as heir apparent. After leaving Beijing, the crown prince will supervise the country!

Who said there is no leader?

Who said that when no one is in charge, people's hearts are in turmoil?

If the prince supervises the country, he can naturally stabilize the world.

What is national origin?

The prince is the foundation of the country!

Everyone was stunned. They compromised again and again because they had hopes, at least they did not get the worst result.

But now, nothing has been caught.

Since the autumn taxes were paid, the newly filled treasury has lost everything...

The New Year is a day of celebration.

In the palace of the Southern Dynasty, the three kings hosted a banquet for the ministers during the festival, but the atmosphere was completely silent.

It is somewhat untrue to say that they are ministers.

After the autumn taxes were paid, several people left and turned to the imperial court. After they were awarded naval generals, several more people left and turned to the imperial court. After the crown prince was established, many more people left and turned to the imperial court.

These people who left the Southern Dynasty began to rebel against the Southern Dynasty again. They kept asking the court for punishment, hoping to make meritorious deeds, but they received no reply.

The current situation in the Southern Dynasties is really miserable, and many places under the rule have declared independence, which means that they have fewer places to collect taxes.

Yes!

A new round of tax collection is about to begin again!

There is no way, the court has no money and no food and nothing can be done...

But from whom?

Ordinary people definitely don’t have to think about it.

Even without a stern warning from His Majesty's decree, they would not dare to exploit them. How could they withstand the current situation in the Southern Dynasty?

A banquet is a good banquet, and we use it to discuss what to do next?

There is no need to think about court discussions. They are arguing every time and nothing can be discussed.

The struggle between the three kings has almost come to light, and it is difficult to achieve anything.

Like the imperial court, the debate was about money and food.

"After tonight, it will be another year."

Fangjie, King of Huainan in the Southern Dynasty, said in a deep voice: "Rebellion is like retreating if a ship cannot advance. To put it bluntly, if it happens again, we don't have to rebel. We can just go to Beijing and wait to be beheaded."

"One more thing, the new army training has been stopped because military pay has been suspended for two months and we must raise money!"

"Only if we understand this matter can we continue to do this!"

Wen Xu looked unhappy.

"Today is the New Year's Day, so we won't talk about state affairs."

He couldn't talk about it. He was exhausted and wanted to relax for a while.

"Avoidance can't solve the problem. Let's make it clear today, right here!"

Fang Jie put the problem on the table.

It's about forcing the uterus!

Lu Zhengyuan thought to himself.

Since the autumn tax was paid, the Southern Dynasty has been dead. This is not okay. If you don't think about yourself, you must also think about the court.

You still have to realize your potential, and you can't just hang around like this.

Fang Jie has already started firing, and he will definitely help out.

Lu Zhengyuan stood up.

"As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. Lu Mou hereby resigns as Chief Minister of the Southern Dynasty Cabinet and Minister of Household Affairs. I also ask Your Majesty and the three kings to agree!"

Lu Zhengyuan is the most polite person.

The puppet emperor was also sitting there. Although he was taking a nap, he couldn't ignore it, right?

The reason why the Southern Dynasties were called a dynasty was because of this emperor...

"Master Lu, what are you doing!"

Zhennan Wang Dongzheng stood up immediately, looking anxious.

Lu Zhengyuan resigned, the Southern Dynasty was a real pill.

"Master Lu, please be patient and tell me if you have anything to say."

Wen Xu also comforted him.

When three kings fight, the fisherman wins.

Lu Zhengyuan is the one they strive for. No matter who really comes to power, they can't do without this talented person.

He was about to resign, and everyone was anxious.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhengyuan was helpless. He just came to make some fun, but he didn't want to mess up like this.
Chapter completed!
