Chapter 281: Destroying the House

Li Shimin stayed in Song Village for two hours.

Most of the ministers have already seen it, and many of them are silent.

There are also people who look thoughtful.

In a sense, what Luhua Village and Song Village see and hear is completely different, which is really shocking.

Sometimes, these visual contrasts are the most moving.

Among these hundred officials, at first they disliked Chen Zhengtai, thinking that Chen Zhengtai was just a continuation of the strategy of Emperor Wu in the Western Han Dynasty.

After the Southern Song Dynasty, Confucianism gradually went to the extreme, but in this era, many children of Confucianism among the hundred officials still have the desire to establish meritorious careers.

The world has been in war for so long, the people have been displaced, and countless people have died tragically.

This is also the biggest difference between Datang and other countries in the world. Here, because of the influence of Confucianism, it has encouraged countless scholars to enter the WTO, that is, the so-called Qi family governing the country and leveling the world, that is, people who are capable and in high positions should help the world, which is the mission.

Therefore, many people bowed their heads and were silent, they were obviously very complicated in their hearts, they seemed to be pleased with the changes in Song Village, and at the same time they were worried about the misery of Luhua Village.

On the other hand, they knew very well that if they wanted to have more Song villages, then the Shi clan would have to lose a lot.

In fact...... The foundation of the family may not be shaken, but once the interests are lost, they cannot be remedied.

One is home, one is the country, one is oneself, and the other is the common people.

Therefore, everyone was speechless, and no one had the heart to impeach Chen Zhengtai at this time, or rather, no one wanted to provoke the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, and some ...... But it is the war between heaven and man, the fierce battle between inner morality and justice, and selfish interests.

Li Shimin got into the chariot in a good mood, leaned on the cushion in the chariot, he ordered Chen Zhengtai to get in the car and accompany him, sitting silently, as if in his mind, he remembered many words called Song Aliu, and he was relieved and emotional for a while.

Li Shimin is a person with a lot of feelings, thinking about it, he can't help but cry speechlessly.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "I think that the people of Luhua Village are really desolate, they work hard but can't have enough food, and they need to take on debts and have children, but they can only sell these children into slavery. ”

"And I have rich clothes and food, and everyone praises my wisdom, but this wisdom has nothing to do with them. In such a world, what is the use of letting the Confucians recite Haiyan Heqing a thousand times? Although Yangzhou's new policy is just the beginning, it is gratifying to me, CHINT, you have worked hard. ”

Chen Zhengtai said modestly: "Where do students dare to say that they are hard, when it comes to collecting taxes, this is the credit of Li Tai, the king of Yue, if it weren't for his upright and decisive actions, how could the family be willing to commit it?" As for governance, it is mostly a credit to Lou Shide, who has never been negligent in his work. As for the officials in the counties, they are also quite diligent these days, and there are no major forks. ”

"Actually...... Everyone is willing to do their best, or because of the teacher, the teacher loves the people, and in this world, how can there be a lack of those capable people? These people have the heart to help the world, the Han Dynasty can be out of class, there can be Zhang Qian, will my Datang be less? The students thought that these people all had to be rewarded, and as for the students, in Yangzhou, they were just idle clouds and wild cranes, and they were idle all day long, but they were in the way. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Chen Zhengtai deeply: "Do you really think so?" ”

"That's what I thought." Chen Zhengtai replied very seriously: "It's not that students have any high demeanor, but to do great things, there must be a group of people who are willing to follow and overcome obstacles together, just like the teacher, the teacher can't rely on one person to rule the world, as for the students, they can be mediocre, and it's okay for students to come up with some ideas, but it's difficult to really do things carefully." The only strength of students is just the benefit of being a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, because of this identity, so everyone can do things with confidence, without worrying about doing things without reward, and not worrying about them being blamed for doing things. ”

Li Shimin bowed his head, he agreed with Chen Zhengtai's words, because this guy is indeed a little lazy, but there is one thing, he has done a good job, that is, he tries his best to protect the people around him.

"I'm the same." Li Shimin said: "So, you and these people, don't worry about acting boldly, the sky is falling, and I will stand up to it in the future." ”

Chen Zhengtai said to his mentor Shengming.

In a blink of an eye, Yangzhou arrived.

In this Yangzhou city, the faction is in order.

Many people knew that His Majesty was coming, so they came early to greet him.

It was Li Tai who was the leader, Li Tai's heart had always been uneasy, he was worried that his father would hold him accountable, and the other officials were also a little worried.

Not only that, but there are also a lot of people from the Yangzhou family.

This time, His Majesty paraded here, which made people feel suspicious, obviously the new policy was implemented in Yangzhou, and His Majesty came over, which clearly meant that Chen Zhengtai was fully supported.

It's just that this kind of support is really chilling.

Previously, the family of Yangzhou and the temples in Chang'an City had correspondence, many of which were complaints and the like, but the attitude of the princes seemed very ambiguous, and people couldn't tell the situation for a while.

Now that His Majesty is coming, what should I do?

The thought of having to pay so many taxes every year makes people feel anxious.

Of course, this is no longer a matter of money.

The savings of the clans are very considerable, and no matter how poor they are, they cannot afford to be poor.

But this thing can be privileged, once lost, then ...... What will be lost in the future will only be more.

This is related to the survival and honor of the entire family.

Wang Zaixue is one of them, he is the head of the Wang family in Yangzhou, has a high reputation, and he does not want to be a leader, but writes books and speaks at home every day, so he is very famous in Jiangnan.

The children of the family either become officials, some are at home to read or write books as a business, some want to be famous, some take profit, and so on.

These days when Wang Zaixue was studying, he was sick in bed all the time.

Actually, I had to be 'sick'.

Just because he concealed the population and land, Li Tai actually led people directly into the Wang family, rushed to the account room to find the account books, and then sealed the treasury, and the steward, principal, and bookkeeper in charge of the operation of the Sona Mansion.

All the female dependents were also sealed in the backyard by the people of the tax camp, and he was invited to the front hall and settled accounts with him in person.

When the concealment was discovered, all the people who had done the work were directly sent to prison, and the punishment was also very serious.

How much grain was owed, the direct fine was confiscated three times, and several children, because they were involved in this matter, are still in prison, after that, Wang Zaixue was half dead in anger, and fell ill directly.

Finally, now that his body has recovered a little, he also feels that he has no shame to meet people, and he is here to meet him today, and he has the intention of burning jade.

Your Yangzhou Governor's Mansion is so ruthless, whose power is it relying on?

Okay, today...... simply shouted grievances in front of the holy driver, and my king learned again, so that your son of heaven could not come to the stage, and I wanted to teach you that there is no difference between you and Emperor Shang and Emperor Yang of Sui.

He made up his mind, he has already contacted a lot of clans, this Yangzhou is not a very big place, almost all the clans have in-laws with each other, and the relationship is close, and now everyone has suffered great damage, Wang Zaixue is willing to take the lead, and naturally many people echo.

Not only that, but a lot of people in the family have also been called, waiting from afar away, waiting for movement.

He stood in the distance, glanced at Li Tai, who was the leader, and snorted coldly.

Recalling that when Li Tai came to Yangzhou, he had a very good impression of Li Tai, thinking that he was one of the few virtuous kings in the world.

"The Holy Driver has arrived."

Someone shouted.

Then...... Li Tai hurriedly led the officials forward with anxiety and waited by the roadside.

As soon as the car arrived, Li Tai and the officials of the Governor's Mansion said loudly: "The ministers welcome Your Majesty's drive, but they can't meet them from afar, and they hope to forgive their sins." ”

Li Shimin, who was in the chariot, heard the movement, first opened the curtain with his hand, and then glanced at Li Tai, the most prominent person on the side of the road.

After Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai in a complicated way, he couldn't help but raise his face, but he only said lightly: "Don't be polite, enter the palace to talk." ”

Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he thought that he was standing here, and his father must be furious when he saw him, fortunately, ...... The result was not too bad, and the father did not seem to be too harsh.

So, he was busy gathering people, followed the team, and walked into the city.

Since beating him, he was carried by Chen Zhengtai to Wang's house, and now he is ...... Even if you give up the treatment, what do you like, this king is now the chief tax officer, so let's collect taxes, face...... Does this king care about your face? Offence? What if you offend, anyway, this king no longer wants to be on the throne, whether you praise this king or scold this king, what does it have to do with this king?

Once people think about it, they quickly find that it's not a big deal, so they pick up the matter of the tax camp, and you don't have to say it, it's quite happy.

The chariot continued to move forward, and many people along the way heard the news and looked from afar.

and waited for the opening of the gate.

Suddenly...... The janissaries in front found a person rushing out of the road, shouting: "Strange injustice! ”

The guards were furious and wanted to rein in their horses and drive them away.

But when I looked closely, I saw that this person looked like a very decent person.

After this man said a strange injustice for the ages, he fell to the ground and wailed.

This cry was really earth-shattering, as if it was about to collapse and the earth cracked.

Several Praetorian guards stepped forward and were about to take them down.

At this time, many people stood beside the road, and some people shouted: "The new deal is angry and resentful, and I implore Your Majesty to be the master of the people." ”

"The Governor's Mansion is inhumane, tyrannical and expropriating, so hurtful to the heavens and reason, stripping the skin and spinal marrow, we and the people, like fish and meat on the board, let it be slaughtered, in the long run, like the common people, why not?"

All of a sudden, more and more people gathered, at first one person, then more than a dozen, and then, as if someone had gained courage, hundreds of people came.

People just wept bitterly, or beat their chests and feet, and they all looked like they were dying of grief.

The guards tried to drag people out, and they howled like souls.

No one expected that His Majesty wanted to enter the city, and such a thing would suddenly happen. Even the guards didn't know whether to press it or not, so a lieutenant hurried to the chariot to wait for the emperor to deal with it.

The people who were originally oppressive and watching, and all of a sudden, began to talk about it.

The people here, some people recognize, they are all high-ranking characters on weekdays, and any one who stands up and stomps his feet in this Yangzhou city can make the ground tremble.

Can ...... now But they wept like resentful women who had been greatly wronged, as if they were going to faint.

The minister in front of him was already frightened, this is not a trivial matter, once this thing spreads, then it will be worth it?

Even if Emperor Yang of Sui went on patrol, there was no such thing, and once it was not handled well, it could lead to very serious consequences.

However, Li Shimin in the car had already heard the truth, but his face was still very calm.

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly boarded the car and said in a low voice: "Teacher, it's the king of Yangzhou......"

Li Shimin interrupted him: "I know, you don't have to explain. They were in front of the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou, and they had to appease them if they wanted to make it difficult for me to ride the tiger. ”

This kind of thing is obviously risky.

But if you think about it carefully, if the Governor's Mansion hadn't gone too far, they wouldn't have taken a risk.

Therefore, Wang Zaixue these people expected that Li Shimin was a person who loved fame, and when the Tang Dynasty was first established, it was the time to invite people to buy people's hearts, and it was absolutely impossible to punish them in front of everyone, so he took the courage to take the risk and give it a try.

This is obviously their last chance.

Li Shimin heard the howl getting worse and worse, and the people on the side of the road began to become excited.

Although a large number of military horses stopped the people outside, and did not allow them to approach, the countless waves of people still rose and fell like waves, and the embankment built by the sergeants almost collapsed.

Li Shimin got out of the car with a calm expression, and Chen Zhengtai was by his side.

Du Ruhui was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly chased after him from the back car, and the rest of the officials surrounded him.

That Wang Jin was mixed in the crowd, and when he saw the kneeling people in front of him, he just looked at their outfits, and he knew it in his heart.

He couldn't help but blush, and actually felt a little ashamed.

Originally...... I didn't say much good things about them.

Well, now, these people have completely ignored Sven and come here to make trouble.

Is...... Tragedy......

I actually have the company of such a person.

Li Shimin had already stepped forward, and in front of many people, and in front of this person who knelt on the ground and shouted aggrieved, he was very calm and did not say a word.

Let Wang Zaixue and these people cry bitterly, so he looked at them coldly and said nothing.

Wang Zaixue cried and was sad, originally thinking that His Majesty would at least make a show, and would come forward to help himself up, and then pretend to be and say a few words of comfort.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would look at it like this.

It was so unbefitting of his vision, he was annoyed, what did that mean?

So he continued to cry hysterically.

Li Shimin was still staring at it with interest, meticulous and serious.

After crying a stick of incense, their voices were hoarse, and everyone seemed to be tired of crying.

Wang Zaixue suddenly felt that it was not interesting, and finally stopped crying, and he choked up: "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to call the shots." ”

Li Shimin took a good time and finally became pure, so he said calmly: "What grievances do you have?" ”

"Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, destroy the door and break the family......"

Halfway through his words, Li Shimin interrupted him: "Is there such a thing as destroying the door and breaking the family?" ”

Wang Zaixue said miserably: "Exactly, this is a true thing, Yangzhou up and down, no one knows, Your Majesty, the minister is called Wang Zaixue, from Yangzhou Wang's family, the ancestor of the minister......"

"Don't mention your ancestors, your ancestors are not Tang Chen, what's the benefit of mentioning them?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and said.

This sentence almost choked Wang Zaixue to death.

After all, his ancestors have outstanding achievements, and the children of the family, no matter who they meet, they must first report to their own family and tell them all about their ancestors' valves, and then the other party will understand, oh, it turned out to be a certain family, which is amazing.

But what Your Majesty means is, what does your ancestor have to do with my Datang, it's about the birds.

Tell me, is this human talk?

Get some sleep and get up early to write.
