    "Yeah, and I heard that neither the Northern Qi royal family nor the Northern Qi emperor showed up after the end."

    Changsun You frowned and said.

    "This matter was tacit, and he must have been killed."

    Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, since Northern Qi asked Da Zhou to help quell the chaos, this is how the Northern Qi royal family ended.

    "Have the city walls been repaired?"

    Zhu Houzhao asked his eldest grandson, You.

    The Three Kingdoms Alliance, Southern Tang, Southern Chu, and Nanliang decided to build a long city wall on the border of the southern border of Dazhou to resist Dazhou's southward movement.

    Known as the Scourge of the Southern Territory.

    "It has been repaired. The city wall has the function of garrisoning troops and grain. Don't worry!" Changsunyou said.

    "That's good."

    Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction

    Chang'an.

    Early morning.

    "My dear friends, now that I have ruled the north in the Great Zhou Dynasty, I don't have to worry about it anymore. It is my great Zhou Heng's blessing." Zhou Heng said with a smile. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is the only one who can expand the territory to what it is today.  Alone.

    "The emperor is wise."

    Everyone shouted.

    ?From the Western Expedition to Xiyi, Zhao was annexed, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Great Zhou Dynasty were really strong. The Three Kingdoms in the South did not dare to underestimate the Great Zhou Dynasty. The construction of the city wall is the best proof.

    "In order to commend your contributions, I decided to build a building of meritorious deeds in the west city of Chang'an, and ordered people to paint portraits, so that all the meritorious ministers of my Great Zhou Dynasty could enter the meritorious building, and be admired by all generations, so that future generations can remember the efforts of their ancestors."

    Zhou Heng suggested it.

    "The minister seconded the proposal."

    Someone stood up and said.

    I think this merit building is indeed a good proposal.

    "Your Majesty, now that I have made a preliminary decision on the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is it inappropriate to build the Gongde Building at this time." Yu Shilin thinks that the Gongde Building is a good thing and must be done, but it is not the time yet.

    The construction of the merit building must be a waste of money and people. They have invested all their financial and material resources in the north in just two years. Now that the national treasury is empty, it is not suitable for the construction of the merit building.

    "Then increase taxes."

    Zhou Heng said seriously, it seems that this Gongde Building is an urgent matter.

    "Your majesty must not do it." Hearing Zhou Heng's words, Qu Xu immediately persuaded Zhou Heng that increasing taxes is not an option, and now Da Zhou cannot afford such a toss.

    "Why not? Now the world is mine, and the north is unified. I don't have any worries about the future. What are you worried about? The merit building is built for my great week."

    Zhou Heng started arguing with Qu Xu, he just wanted to build a merit building, why the left and right prime ministers started to oppose him.

    "Your Majesty, you cannot increase taxes now."

    Qu Xu still insisted on his own ideas.

    "Then think of a way and tell you that the Gongde Building must be built. Besides, I will build a new palace." Zhou Heng said solemnly.

    Everyone didn't expect Zhou Heng to want to build a palace.

    As soon as everyone understands this statement, I am afraid that the merit building is just a cover. What Zhou Heng really wants to do is to build a palace, but if you want to directly build a palace, I am afraid it will attract criticism, so the merit building is used as a cover.

    "this?"

    Yu Shilin was also dumbfounded.

    "I've fought all my life? Can't I enjoy it?"

    ? Zhou Heng asked everyone, and everyone was speechless. The world belongs to Zhou Heng, so Zhou Heng can enjoy it naturally, but now that the world is uncertain, it is too impatient to enjoy it at this time.

    "I'll tell everyone now that the Gongde Tower will be built, and the palace will also be built. If anyone can accomplish this, I will make him a first-rank official and a marquis."

    After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he retreated and left.

    There is no intention of discussing with Qu Xu and others at all.

    "What happened to the emperor today?" Qu Xu asked, why did he suddenly have such an idea, Yu Shilin also shook his head, he didn't know.

    Is it really inflated?

    "Your Majesty, Qin Hui, the imperial historian, seeks to see you."

    "Qin Hui?"

    Zhou Heng knew about this person. When Emperor Guangxiao was a doctor, he was regarded as a first-rank official in the court, but this person was low-key and didn't want to participate in the matter, so he was a little transparent.

    "Let him in."

    Zhou Heng wants toListen to what this Qin Hui is going to do.

    Qin Hui walked in.

    "Your Majesty!"

    "What's the purpose of Aiqing's visit?" Zhou Heng asked Qin Hui with a smile.

    "Your majesty, today you said that you will build a merit building and a palace. Maybe I can help you with this matter." Qin Hui thought for a while and said.

    Zhou Heng looked at Qin Hui.

    "real?"

    "Really." Qin Hui nodded.

    "Okay, I will leave this matter to you. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me and I will help you solve them. There will be a big reward after the matter is completed."

    Zhou Heng said happily, as expected, there must be a brave man under the reward

    Qin Hui got Zhou Heng's order and started to work immediately.

    In just a few months, the imperial court began to increase taxes, not only the land tax, but also the merchants need to pay taxesfor a while, the people began to complain.

    "It's not a problem for Xiangguo to go on like this. The country that was finally defeated will be destroyed."

    Several officials found Qu Xu, hoping that Qu Xu could persuade Zhou Heng not to mess around. Da Zhou had just started to improve, and if something happened at this time, I am afraid that the success would be in vain.

    "I know about this matter. I have already told Prime Minister Zuo that we will persuade the emperor when we go to court tomorrow."

    Qu Xu nodded and said.

    They are also aware of the current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Qin Hui's large-scale construction projects and increased taxes are a disaster for the country. I hope Zhou Heng can understand.

    The next morning, Zhou Heng did not go to court.

    "Where's the emperor?"

    "The emperor said that if there is something to do today, he will not go to court. If there is something to do, please discuss and decide on your own." A young eunuch left the hall after delivering the decree.

    One day without court, three days without court, and Zhou Heng half a month without court.

    "It's not an option to go on like this, I want to meet the emperor."

    Coming out of the main hall, Qu Xu did not leave the palace, but went directly to the imperial study.

    "Quite."

    Tang Zhuo came to stop Qu Xu.

    "What's wrong?" Qu Xu looked at Tang Zhuolai.

    "Don't you understand Qu Xiang? The emperor can hide from us. If the emperor goes to court, the officials must persuade the emperor to stop building merit buildings and palaces, and let the emperor abolish all taxes." Tang Zhuolai is a sensible person.  It can be seen that Zhou Heng did not go to court to avoid disputes with the ministers.

    Therefore, Qu Xu may not be able to see Zhou Heng in the past.

    "Do you just ignore it like this?"

    Qu Xu became serious, the emperor's move was wrong, they should remind them as courtiers, instead of pretending that nothing happened here.

    "This matter is not something to be ignored, but that you will not see the emperor." Tang Zhuo said, of course they want to persuade Zhou Heng, but the premise is that they want to see Zhou Heng.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
