Chapter 230: The Monarch and the Ministers Are Tricking People Again (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Something big is wrong, something really is wrong!

Today, Zhu Houxi is following the queen to the West Garden for a boat, and the plan to rebuild the West Garden has been shelved, but it is no problem to sit on the boat, look at the scenery, and relax your mood.

Empress Chen is young and full of energy.

She personally gave Zhu Houxi a small snack, played the piano, and danced...... Right inside the cabin, the emperor and empress, had a special time.

Zhu Houxi stared at the queen's white and slender neck, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, he, the queen, is really a disaster......

"Come on, let me hug me!"

Empress Chen was embarrassed, her neck was red, but she still came over obediently.

Zhu Houxi was satisfied, stretched out his arms, and was about to hold the queen on the cruise ship, feeling a different kind of double activity...... But at this moment, a sharp voice came, completely breaking the dense and soft atmosphere.

"Emperor, the Queen Mother called you!"

It's Huang Jin's voice!

Zhu Houxi almost wanted to catch him, and just put him in the water. You don't understand anything, but I'm different! How dare you disturb my good deeds?

Zhu Houxi muffled his head and didn't make a sound,

At this time, Huang Jin shouted again, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has an edict to let you go back to the palace quickly!" ”

This time, even Empress Chen didn't dare to pretend not to hear it.

The old queen mother shouted so urgently, in case of delaying a major event, it is not to blame the emperor for indulging in beauty! How does this work?

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows what you mean, so please ask Your Majesty to go back quickly!"

Zhu Houxi sighed lightly, "I know, don't worry, I'll accompany you when I come back." ”

When the cruise ship docked, Zhu Houxi got down from it and saw Huang Jin who was sweating at a glance, and he was angry.

"What are you doing here?"

Huang Jin grinned, "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't want to bother, but Brother Fugui has been beaten!" ”

"It's hit, it's not ...... Wait a minute! Zhu Houxi was shocked: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Huang Jin couldn't cry or laugh, "Who else can you say, of course it's Brother Fugui, Wang Yue!" Other people's slaves don't care! Huang Jin muttered in a low voice.

Zhu Houxi was instantly angry!

What a guts!

Dare to move the little rich?

Who gave you the guts?

This instantly abandoned Empress Chen and ran directly to the palace, he was too slow, and he got a horse, and ran sweaty back, but even so, when he saw Empress Dowager Jiang, he let the old lady scold!

"Do you want to be a fool too? Your close ministers let people beat them, is that a small rich and noble? That's slapping you in the face, and the mourners are blushing for you! ”

……

Needless to say, this sentence alone has made Zhu Houxi crazy, and the green tendons on his temples have collapsed. Since he ascended the throne, when has he been robbed by his mother?

But then again, you deserve it!

Obviously let Xiao Fugui serve as the magistrate of Wanping, knowing that taxation is a very dangerous thing, why didn't he take precautions?

What's more, Zhang Xuan was also beaten before, and now it's Xiao Fugui's turn!

Do all my close retainers deserve to be beaten?

Zhu Houxi is really more and more aggrieved the more he thinks about it, no! It must be punished severely!

If you don't cut off a few heads, you won't know how powerful I am!

Zhu Houxi rushed straight to the Fengtian Palace, and as he walked, he asked Huang Jin, "Where is Wang Yue?" Is the injury serious? ”

Huang Jindao: "Someone sent Brother Fugui to the palace, and the Queen Mother asked two imperial doctors to treat him. ”

Zhu Houxi became angry when he heard this, "Can those wastes from the Tai Hospital be able to see a good doctor?" Let's go, let's see if he's dead or not? Zhu Houxi said this, but he trotted up,

When he ran to the side hall out of breath, he found Wang Yue sitting there, holding a pastry box, gulping it down! Looking at his appearance again, it doesn't look like he's hurt at all, what's going on?

Zhu Houxi was even more stupid, "Xiao Fugui, are you okay?" ”

Wang Yue said, "Yes! How could something happen! ”

"You!"

Zhu Houxi didn't say a word, pounced on him, and stretched out his hand to pinch Wang Yue.

He almost wanted to kill this kid!

Is there such a fool as you?

It was easy to convince the queen that if she wanted to wave on the cruise ship, she was mixed up, and she was scolded by the old queen mother, and I was too wronged!

No, you have to kill Wang Yue and unscrew your head to relieve your anger!

Facing the evil dragon with teeth and claws, Wang Yue knew each other very well and chose to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Zhu Houxi hated Wang Yue a few fists, and then panted and said, "You tell me, what's going on?" If you dare to conceal it, I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the king! ”

Wang Yue was aggrieved, "Your Majesty, this matter is not complicated, the minister and Lord Zheng set up the Chongwenmen tax card, and as a result, the family of the late scholar Li Dongyang brought goods into Beijing, and the servant collected taxes, they were not convinced, and the two sides disputed. When the minister passed, he saw that the quarrel was fierce, so the minister took off his official uniform and changed it into the clothes of the servants, and then he was pushed, and the minister was sent to the palace! ”

Zhu Houxi listened carefully, he understood!

Dare to love Wang Yue is in the yin!

"Little Fugui!" Zhu Houxi was in a hurry, he gritted his sharp tiger teeth and made a creaking sound, as if chewing flesh and blood!

"What kind of thing is Li Dongyang? It's been dead for so many years, and you don't even care about the current bachelor, why are you pretending to be garlic? Did you tell me that you were deliberately causing me trouble? ”

Zhu Houxi is angry, he really gave you Wang Yue's authority!

Just arrest, beat, behead, ...... You can just deal with it, such a thing, it's still annoying! What do I want you for?

Zhu Houxi was angry, and Wang Yue was even more aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, you can't call the shots in this matter!"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Houxi said unceremoniously: "You don't even dare to touch a dead tiger?" ”

Wang Yue cried, "This is not a dead tiger!" It's a pack of dead tigers! ”

"A swarm? What do you mean? Who else is there in the Li family besides Li Dongyang? ”

Wang Yue sighed: "Your Majesty, think about it, Li Dongyang has been dead for so many years, and his family has tried his best to deliver goods, why hasn't he paid taxes?" ”

Zhu Houxi snorted: "Isn't this a tax avoidance by the gentry?" Aren't all the gentry of the Ming Dynasty like this? Otherwise, I asked you to set up a tax card and collect taxes for what? Why do I have nothing to do? ”

Wang Yue said: "Your Majesty, the pass is here!" Li Dongyang is dead, so is the Li family still an official gentry? Why avoid taxes? ”

"Wait a minute!"

Zhu Houxi seemed to understand, "Xiao Fugui, although Li Dongyang is dead, but his descendants still have officials who have been gifted, isn't it still the home of the official gentry?" ”

"Having said that, the official status of the descendants of the Li family is very low, and according to the preferential and exemption rules of the imperial court, there are not so many at all. And they are not officials in Beijing, so why should they send things to the capital? ”

Zhu Houxi held his chin and thought thoughtfully, "Are you saying that this person is dead, and the preferential treatment given to officials should be canceled accordingly?" ”

"That's right! Not only Li Dongyang, but also other families, they should be like this, they are the family of the gentry, but there is no hereditary replacement! ”

This sentence completely poked Zhu Houxi's heart...... yes, why didn't you think of such an obvious thing?

One hundred and fifty years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are far more dead officials than still alive, among these people, there are many people who are in the middle of the road, but there are definitely a large number of people who still enjoy the shadow of their ancestors. Above board, he dodged taxes and lived a comfortable parasitic life.

Even if they don't have a proper reputation, they can evade taxes and forced labor in various ways.

It's really not a question of a dead tiger, it's a bunch of dead tigers!

Xiao Fugui really pointed to a key question.

"So if the officials are dead, the preferential treatment in their homes should be revoked?"

"It's not death, it's Zhishi!"

"Yes!" Zhu Houxi nodded decisively, "It's really damn, such an obvious thing, why didn't I think of it!" This time, Zhu Houxi didn't have the slightest anger towards Wang Yue, on the contrary, he began to be grateful to Xiao Fugui!

"You're really my Guan Zhong!" Zhu Houxi admired from the bottom of his heart, he suddenly felt that Wang Yue's injury was too wonderful, and this was an excellent excuse for him to be troubled.

It's just that Wang Yue's appearance is not enough?

Far from enough!

Zhu Houxi stared at Wang Yue, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a hideous smile...... Wang Yue was shocked, and smelled a thick uneasiness, Zhu Houxi, you bastard, what do you want to do?

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Yue was lying on a stretcher with a turmeric face, covered in mottled bloodstains and a strong pungent smell, making people almost faint.

Behind Wang Yue was a dying royal dog that had lost too much blood...... Wang Yue thoroughly enjoyed a bloody shower!

Zhu Houxi was satisfied, slapped his palm, ignored Wang Yue's angry gaze, and said loudly: "Go, carry people to Fengtian Temple!" Gather the hundred officials! ”
