"What's more, he is now from the capital and is the governor of the tax filing station. His mission is to come to Dayuan Prefecture to check taxes."

"Instead of letting him secretly cause trouble in the Dayuan Mansion and causing trouble, Changshou thought, it would be better to follow his wish and bring him directly to the prince, so that the prince can at least take the initiative."

"And Changshou only brought him, but he was also disgusted from the bottom of his heart that he came to check taxes."

"According to your opinion, I should have killed him." King Ning said lightly.

"Don't kill."

Zhou Changshou shook his head, as if he didn't see the fun-loving look of King Ning, and he said sincerely: "Prince, Changshou said that it is not because he is Changshou's younger brother. Even if anyone is Changshou, he advocates that he must not be killed."

"If you want to answer the question of why you can't kill it, the prince might as well think about it. Everyone in the world knows that among the vassal kings, the prince's soldiers are the most powerful. Would the prince not know? Why did the prince choose the prince's place in the first stop of tax inspection?"

"If you really want to say that there is a tax problem, isn't King Wen, the most wealthy person in the world, the best target for surgery?"

"When it comes to money, King Wen is more than anyone else, but in terms of force, King Wen cannot compare with the prince. Even if you pick persimmons, you can pinch them first, why would the prince provoke us first?"

When King Ning heard this, he sneered: "Who can't know what he thinks? It's just that I rejected his request to rush to the Crescent Pass to fight against the Liao army together."

"This strategy was made by the Prince of Changshou, but I didn't expect the East Palace to react so strongly, and the response angle was so tricky, and it was really tricky."

Zhou Changshou said in a deep voice: "But even now, Changshou firmly believes that we must not send troops at this moment."

"Otherwise, once the troops are sent, we will face the Liao army's cavalry. At that time, no matter the victory or defeat, we will suffer heavy losses. Once the military power the prince relies on is broken, his status will plummet, let alone compete in the Central Plains in the future."

King Ning's face was as deep as water, and asked, "So what should I do in your opinion?"

"Cooperate with him."

Zhou Changshou said without hesitation: "We cannot give the prince a handle at this time. He wants to check the tax and ask him to check it out. So what if the problem is found? The prince can do two or one and do five, and ask three but don't know."

With a chuckle, Zhou Changshou said, "Even if he brought him evidence, the prince in the capital ordered the prince to make up for the missing taxes, but whether to make up for it or not? Isn't it the prince who has the final say?"

When King Ning heard this, he finally smiled and said to Zhou Changshou: "What you said is good, and I am very grateful to the king."

Zhou Changshou smiled and said, "In short, let him catch the minor issues in detail. Those who cannot enter the elegant hall must not be openly opposed to the court, and listen to the orders and not the announcement. No one can do anything to the prince."

"It's better and wrong. The prince still needs to endure it for a few years and act like a show. After all, the prince cannot change from a vassal king to an anti-king king. In this way, public opinion in the world will be detrimental to me and will affect the prince's grand plans."

"The founding emperor of the previous dynasty once said that he would accumulate grain and slowly become kings. Throughout history, in the situation where the powerful people in several sides compete for hegemony, the ones who can laugh to the end are often not the most powerful at the beginning, but the ones that can be most tolerated."
