Chapter 76: The Origin of Ten Thousand Fortunes
Zhu Houxi was really full of emotion and was strongly shocked.
In the past, everyone said that Xiaozong was a good emperor, but Zhu Houzhao favored the eunuchs, acted wantonly, mixed with Wufu, put the emperor inappropriately, ran to be a general, and went to the nine sides in person to the extreme.
It is necessary to learn from filial piety and abolish righteousness and malpractice...... This is something that Mao Cheng and Liang Chu kept nagging along the way from An Lu to Jingshi. Although Zhu Houxi felt that these two people had other plans, he didn't think that Xiaozong didn't seem to be so perfect, and Zhengde was not so wrong...... When he actually sat on the dragon chair, Zhu Houxi found that something seemed to be wrong, and the last debate about Yingzhou's victory was like this.
Now that Kaizhong Law is implicated, it seems to be even more obvious!
What is a good emperor?
It's not Shilin's final say!
They praise, beautify, and say that what is black can be said to be white, and what is wrong can be said to be right.
The abolition of Kaizhongfa was a clear compromise with the civil officials, and the monopoly of salt, which was originally controlled by the imperial court, was transferred to the control of scholars and merchants.
In the Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di dynasties, in addition to tens of millions of taels of salt taxes every year, they could also support millions of soldiers on the nine sides.
Now all the imperial court can get is one or two million taels of silver, and even military expenses are not enough...... What kind of rat is this, it's just a sky-swallowing giant beast, and it eats all the Ming in one bite, and doesn't even leave me with a bone!
The so-called ancestral system is nothing more than retaining it if it is beneficial to them, and abolishing or even tampering with it if it is unfavorable. Let me pass on to Xiaozong, you are so energetic, why don't you let people restore the opening of the Chinese law?
So why should the good laws that benefit the country and the people be abolished?
Zhu Houxi was so angry that it exploded, but fortunately, there was also a court staff, which was a magic weapon for Taizu to stay and clean up the civil officials. If they were all abolished, I would be a lonely and wretched ornament.
Now, don't blame me for being rude!
Zhu Houxi gave an order, and Lu Bing led the Jinyi Guard and immediately rushed into the Fengtian Palace.
Although it has only been a few months of hard work, Lu Bing's kid has also changed amazingly, he is taller, his body is more burly, and the childishness on his face has disappeared a lot.
As long as the Son of Heaven gives an order, he will dare to cripple and kill these courtiers!
Qiao Yu, who wanted to attack Wang Yue and Yang Shen just now, was worried about his safety at the moment.
Who can turn the tide and save their lives?
These courtiers all set their eyes on Yang Tinghe.
That's right, you still have to have this Shousuke-sama stand up, and other people are really not qualified!
After a moment of silence, Yang Tinghe took a resolute step, stood in the middle, and then fell to his knees and threw himself to the ground.
"Your Majesty, when Emperor Xiaozong revised the Kaizhong Law, it was also after careful consideration and had to do it." As soon as Yang Tinghe opened his mouth, he abolished the Kaizhong Law and said that it was a revision, and quietly, the nature of the matter was changed, and the skills of the first assistant were fully revealed.
"During the reign of Xianzong, he used troops in the frontier many times, and the military households were miserable, and many people fled, and it was difficult to maintain the relationship between China and France at that time. The nine-sided generals are greedy and weak, and there are obviously not so many people, but they lie about the number of people, eat empty salaries, and falsely open salt quotes, and the military generals and businessmen collude to wantonly accumulate wealth, and the border defense is corrupted, which has reached the point of no return. ”
"By revising the Kaizhong Law and sending silver taels to the households, the imperial court can at least get a large sum of money, reorganize armaments, build river embankments, and improve people's livelihood...... Filial piety once practiced benevolent government, saved the people, and everyone in the world knew it. As for the first emperor's military reorganization, he patrolled the border many times, and also relied on the accumulation of the Xiaozong Dynasty. There are priorities and priorities, and it is natural to be improvised, not to stick to one end. Taizu's method is certainly wonderful, but how can future generations not modify it in the slightest? ”
When Yang Tinghe said this, he raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Hanlin Yang Shen misinterpreted the meaning of filial piety, talked nonsense, and deserved to be punished with eighty rods, and he was assigned to the army, and he would never use it!" ”
Ooh!
Yang Tinghe is ruthless enough, this is his own son, he actually wants to be punished with a cane and filled the army, aren't you afraid that there is no one who burns paper for you?
Some people hesitated and were stunned, but more people were already kneeling behind Yang Tinghe, and they all aimed their fingers at Yang Shen.
These people spoke in unison, and first defended Xiaozong...... This is what must be done no matter what, if the reputation of filial piety is ruined, all plans will be ruined.
And now, there must be a sacrificial flag, and it is impossible to move Wang Yue, but Yang Shen, a traitor, must die!
"Your Majesty, Yang Shen has been in the court for many years, has been studying in Hanlin, and he doesn't understand national politics at all, but this time he stood up, slandered Emperor Xiaozong, and ruined people's hearts. It can be said that it is mad, angry and resentful. The old minister thought that Yang Shen should be severely punished and show the world! ”
Qiao Yu, the secretary of the ministry, also lay on the ground.
At this point, Yang Shen was only full of sadness, telling the truth has to pay a price, and it is very painful.
Thinking of this, he knelt down directly, silently, and waited for the fate.
Zhu Houxi glanced at the main hall, and there were only a few people such as Wang Yue, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, and Yuan Zonggao who had not yet knelt down.
It stands to reason that this is the internal strife between Yang Ting and the group, the father and son of the Yang family cannibalize each other, there is nothing to hesitate about, they are willing to make trouble, just let them make trouble, watch a joke yourself,
But after thinking about it, after all, it involves the evaluation of filial piety, and it has a lot to do with him, Zhu Houxi pondered for a long time and stared at Wang Yue.
"Wang Qing, now the ministers are talking about it, but everything is because of you, what do you have to say?"
Wang Yue blinked, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know!" ”
"You don't know?" Zhu Houxi raised his voice, "You were talking about it just now, why didn't you know anything in a blink of an eye?" ”
Wang Yue was very aggrieved, "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to talk about is the history of the Qiao family, but who knew that it would become a discussion about the opening of the Chinese law, and even the national policy of filial piety, the minister is young, how dare he talk nonsense!" ”
Wang Yue's words caused a muffled snort!
Bunny, do you dare to pretend to be innocent?
If it weren't for your nonsense, how could there be these things, you kid should be killed! Without a cane, we can tear you apart!
At this time, the old thing Yang Yiqing suddenly spoke, and he said with a smile: "Otherwise, the old minister thinks that what Senator Wang said makes sense." Don't be tense and act as if you're going to kill. The big guy listened attentively, how did the Qiao family get rich, isn't that good? ”
Good!
Absolutely!
Zhu Houxi said: "Okay, let Wang Yue continue to speak!" ”
A storm of blood splattered in the Fengtian Temple ended early. Yang Tinghe's status is there, after all, he is an old minister who has made decisions, and he has the merit of supporting it, and Zhu Houxi really can't ignore three points.
But just after the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Yue's story caused a rolling thunderstorm and a shocking explosion!
"Your Majesty, after the Qiao family relied on the silver in exchange for salt, in just a few years, they have accumulated more than two million family properties. The ancients said that the waist was wrapped around 100,000 yuan, and the crane rode down to Yangzhou. The Qiao family was no exception, they first marched into Yangzhou in the name of selling skin and herbal medicines, and then made a decisive move, swallowed three small salt merchants, and began to set foot in the Lianghuai salt farm. Since then, they can not only produce salt, but also sell salt, and get salt introduction, the whole industry is a one-stop, they have been contracted, and no one knows how much money they make every year. ”
Wang Yue paused and said with a smile: "As far as I know, last year alone, the Qiao family gave Lingyin Temple 500,000 taels of incense money in one go!" Giving alms to temples and also contributing money to run schools, millions of dollars a year. The minister conservatively estimated that the Qiao family's property, just gold and silver, should be more than 10 million taels, full of wealthy merchants. The minister thought that the richest man in the world was none other than the Qiao family! ”
Wang Yue looked at Qiao Yu, who was already covered in cold sweat, and suddenly gritted his teeth and smiled: "Qiao Tianguan, as far as I know, although you and the Qiao family are of the same clan, they have little to do with each other, and they don't have close contacts. What's more, there's nothing wrong with having a rich man as a distant relative, right? ”
Who believes this!
Qiao Yu couldn't say a word at the moment, he just wanted to know, who leaked the details of the Qiao family? These things are all set out, and the Qiao family is going to be finished!
