"But in reality? In reality, all the land is in the hands of us nobles!"

"Taxing based on land means making us nobles pay taxes!"

"And it's fifty percent!"

"Qin's half-tax!"

"Qin's half-tax!"

"That is to say, half of the harvest from my land has to be handed over to this rebellious son?"

"My Chinese civilization has been around for over a thousand years; from Xia Qi to the Great Zhou, from the Great Zhou to now, it has always been commoners paying taxes; how can there be any reason for nobles to pay taxes?"

"My ancestor was Bai Qi; he fought for Great Qin his whole life; what was it for? Wasn't it so that his descendants could enjoy the shade and not have to pay taxes anymore?"

"But now, he actually wants us nobles to pay taxes?"

"Impossible!"

"This matter is impossible!"

"Everyone, I, Bai Guang, announce that for this tax grain, my Bai family will not pay a single grain!"

"Otherwise, the blood of the Great Qin's Martial An Lord was shed in vain!"

"My Neishi family also won't pay taxes; my father, Neishi Teng, destroyed the Han State and made great contributions to Great Qin's unification of the world; wanting my Neishi family to pay taxes, keep dreaming!"

"Don't pay!"

"For this tax, I won't pay a single grain!"

"If that Huang Chao dares to come to my Neishi family, I will make sure he never returns!"

At that moment, Bai Qi's great-grandson Bai Guang, Neishi Teng's son Neishi Yan!

Sima Cuo's descendant Sima Yan, who had already been dismissed, all shouted loudly!

Even the descendants of famous ministers like Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, and Fan Ju started to oppose it!

Everyone, shouting endlessly

They were all shouting slogans of not paying taxes!

Some even shouted loudly that they would perish together with Huang Chao!

At that moment, everyone shouted to the heavens!

And Wang Wan, Feng Feng Qiji, and others watched the scene before them, their scalps tingling even more!

For a time, they didn't know what to do!

Wei Liaozhi was still relatively loyal and said to Wang Wan and Feng Feng Qiji:

"My lords, this is clearly the rebellious son fooling around; he is addicted to playing and actually caused such a ridiculous big matter!"

"Do you think he can still be the supreme emperor of our Great Qin Empire?"

"What... what do you mean?"

Wang Wan and Feng Feng Qiji were both terrified.

Wei Liaozhi bowed deeply to the Xianyanggong: "Please ask the First Emperor to come out and take charge of the government again!"

He shouted, and Wang Wan and Feng Feng Qiji, hearing this, were so scared that their legs turned to jelly.

After a while, the two of them left in a hurry, not daring to stay here!

Yes!

Even if they opposed Ying Su again, they wouldn't dare to use the matter of asking the First Emperor to come out to speak!

Saying this was undoubtedly opposing Ying Su!

Relying on Ying Su's decisive character, he would definitely kill people!

As for paying taxes...

Let's see!

Three days later, let's see what most people do!

If they don't pay taxes, then we won't pay taxes!

If they pay taxes...

Impossible!

Nobles not paying taxes is a rule of nearly two thousand years!

Throughout all the dynasties, there have also been many outstanding people who wanted to make nobles pay taxes to reduce the burden on commoners!

For example, Zhou Zhou Gongdan, for example, Guan Zhong, for example, Wei Wei Wenhou, and then for example, Lord Lord Xinling Wei Wei Wuji!

But... let me ask one sentence, who succeeded?

No matter how intense the revolution was!

But who succeeded!

In the end, didn't they run away in disgrace?

The so-called revolution in history is completely a joke in the eyes of the nobles!

Not only Wang Wan and Feng Feng Qiji thought this way!

Others also had this idea!

The reason nobles are nobles is not because they are born nobles!

But because their ancestors made great contributions to the country, so the descendants can enjoy the shade of their ancestors.

For example, Bai Qi, he crippled the six states and made a huge contribution to Great Qin's unification of the world!

Having made such a great contribution, what's wrong with the descendants enjoying a little bit of ancestral shade and not paying taxes?

Didn't the ancestors fight hard to struggle just for the benefit of not paying taxes?

What?

It doesn't work when it gets to you, Ying Su?

Must pay taxes?

Or is it that my ancestor's blood was shed in vain?

Everyone was indignant!

However, at this moment, not many people discussed anything.

Everyone left!

But likewise, everyone's belief was very firm!

Don't pay taxes!

Just don't pay taxes, let's see what you, Ying Su, can do!

Let's see what you, Huang Chao, can do!

Shangfang Sword?

Hehe... just a joke!

Try killing the great-grandson of Great Qin's Martial An Lord Bai Qi!

Try killing the descendant of Great Qin's Chancellor Zhang Yi!

Try killing the descendant of Great Qin's Chancellor Fan Ju!

Try killing the descendant of Great Qin's Chancellor Shang Yang!

I'll give you a hundred guts!

Let's see if you dare to kill Bai Qi's descendants!

Everyone was very disdainful.

However, no matter how disdainful everyone was!

This matter was finally known to the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

In the garden!

For these days, the First Emperor Ying Zheng had been very unhappy!

To put it bluntly, he was still angered by Ying Su....

Before, the reason for not rebelling was because he couldn't find a way to deal with Li Li Yuanba.

But after going through all the trouble, even if he found a way to deal with Li Li Yuanba, so what?

Still didn't dare to rebel?

Yes!

He was hit in the sore spot by Li Si!

Fickle!

Although Li Si was saying on the surface that he was not a fickle villain.

But that meaning heard in Ying Zheng's ears was scolding him, Ying Zheng!

Last month, he announced that he would pass the throne to the Sixth Prince Ying Su.

But in less than a month, he hurriedly announced that he wanted to rebel and take back the throne!

How would the people of the world view him, the First Emperor?

If this isn't fickle, what is?

Besides reputation, there was also influence!

Ying Su was ultimately not just Li Li Yuanba alone!

Behind him now was Han Xin's army of fifty thousand!

Even if he called Meng Tian's army of twenty thousand, so what?

Killing in Xianyang City to take back the throne, so what?

His reputation was ruined!

The infamy of being fickle was also set!

Infamy was secondary, the main thing was influence!

Nearly three hundred thousand people combined were fighting in Xianyang City.

Killing until blood flowed like a river!

Even if he won, so what?

The influence was created!

What was that influence?

It is a reality that the hearts of the six states do not belong, and it is still a reality that the hearts of all the people in the world do not belong.

If he and the rebellious son fought in Xianyang City, who would benefit the most?

Of course, it would still be the remnants of the six states!

When the internal struggle of Great Qin was so intense, who knew if they would turn from restless to ready to go, and then directly incite the people to rebel?

This is the influence!

If he won and regained the throne, Great Qin would also be full of smoke and fire, and the country would be in chaos!

Therefore, this battle could not be fought!

This was where he felt aggrieved!

However, the most aggrieved thing was Ying Su's reaction!

One must know, he even said things like rebellion in front of Li Si!

And asked Li Si to pass the message to the rebellious son, but the rebellious son didn't have the slightest reaction!

Yes!

Not the slightest reaction!

"Why?"

"Why didn't he have the slightest reaction?"

"Or is it that he looks down on me?"

"As the First Emperor, can I not even make him panic?"

At that moment, Ying Zheng was angered numb!

He found Zhao Gao immediately, asking Zhao Gao to find out why Ying Su didn't panic at all!

Soon, Zhao Gao found out the news from Li Si.

And according to Li Si's description, it was like this.

"The new emperor said, the First Emperor is still in the Xianyanggong, so what is there to rebel about?"

"And he is not unaware of the dangers of rebellion; is he sick, to go and rebel?"

"What? Afraid that Great Qin won't perish fast enough?"

"He said rebellion was just a sick cat pretending to be a tiger, scaring people!"

"You..."

Ying Zheng heard these words and was so angry he almost vomited blood on the spot!

But at the same time, he had to sigh that the rebellious son understood him!

He explained the reason why he didn't rebel so clearly!

The summary was quite to the point!

Could it be... could it be... that he couldn't return to the throne?

Ying Zheng sighed again and again; in his life, he only had obsessions with two things!

One was immortality, and the other was this Great Qin!

However, even immortality was for the sake of permanently guarding Great Qin!

Otherwise, what would he pursue immortality for!

And this meant that he had placed all his obsessions on Great Qin!

But now, his throne had been taken away by someone else, yet he couldn't do a single thing!

Really aggrieved!

Quite aggrieved!

He really wanted to push Ying Su down and let himself regain control of the court!

But now...

Ying Zheng thought again and again, angered again and again!

However, just at this time, Zhao Gao came to report in a hurry:

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"It's not good!"

"What's wrong, panicking like this!"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao, very dissatisfied!

Zhao Gao said: "The Sixth Prince... announced three big things in court today!"

"Big things?"

"And three of them?"

"What are the things!"

Ying Zheng asked, a bit absent-minded!

Yes, what big thing could be bigger than him returning to the throne?

Nothing!

All he was thinking about now was returning to the throne!

And next, what Zhao Gao said directly shocked him numb!

"The three big things announced by the Sixth Prince!"

"First, stop repairs on the Great Wall, stop repairs on the Afang Palace!"

"Second, attack the Xiongnu!"

"Third, taxation based on land, nobles pay taxes!"

"What?"

Once these words were out, at that moment, Ying Zheng was shocked to the point of his scalp tingling!

At that moment, his face was full of shock, and his eyeballs widened even more!

For a long time, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva:

"This... this rebellious son, is he trying to destroy the country?"..

055, Heads rolling, blood flowing like a river! Ying Zheng: If I don't rebel again, Great Qin will surely perish!

Destroy the country?

Yes!

The three big things Ying Su announced today were all matters of great significance!
