Chapter 482: Rivalry in the court
"Confucianism is guilty! Let Your Majesty suffer an unjustified injustice. ”
The next day, Kong Yingda simply and neatly played the guilt, although the heavenly and human induction was made by Dong Zhongshu, but who made the Kong family a representative of Confucianism, this account is naturally counted on the head of the Kong family.
Li Shimin said with a pleasant face: "What is Aiqing's crime? Tiangu Eclipse is just the words of the Mo family, how can it be taken seriously! ”
"This is related to Your Majesty's reputation, how can you not be cautious, the minister suggested that the Taishi Bureau re-investigate the celestial phenomena to prove Your Majesty's innocence, in order to prevent the villain from slandering the reputation behind his back." Kong Yingda bowed his head.
Once there is a tengu eclipse day, they will think that the heavens are warning them, and naturally some people will point fingers, and even many rebels often take advantage of this to take advantage of this and take the opportunity to cause chaos.
Li Shimin raised his head proudly, and said with a righteous attitude: "I have calmed the world all my life, and after I ascended the throne, I have worked diligently, the world is peaceful, and how can God condemn crimes, even if there are villain rumors, it is just the itch of scabies, so why worry about it." ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" The important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty echoed one after another.
After Li Shimin finished the show, he turned his head to look at Li Chunfeng on the side and said: "Li Aiqing, the Taishi Bureau immediately flipped through the history books, thoroughly investigated the ancient records, and must find out the truth about the Tiangu eating the moon, and return the emperors of the past dynasties to a clean slate!" ”
The important ministers couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, since ancient times, the people have been shouting grievances, and the courtiers have asked the emperor to return a clean slate, who would have thought that one day, the emperor would be able to conceal the injustice and need to pay back his innocence.
Li Chunfeng bowed out of the queue and commanded: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Such a big thing happened in the ink art exhibition, how could the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers not know, I am afraid that they have already calculated overnight, in Chang'an City, but anyone who has a little arithmetic foundation, can calculate the time of the next solar eclipse according to Merton's prompt, which is the first day of the fifth month.
At this moment, everyone knows that I am afraid that Mo Jiazi's speculation is correct, Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng is just going through the motions, otherwise why did Kong Yingda plead for Confucianism so neatly, if he waits until the first day of the fifth month and is slapped in the face by Mo Jiazi in public, I am afraid that Confucianism's exit will be even more embarrassing.
Kong Yingda breathed a sigh of relief and retreated again and again.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Although Li Shimin let go of Confucianism lightly this time, the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen knew that the bargaining chips that hindered the imperial power had been greatly reduced, and it was still unknown whether an unrestrained emperor would be a blessing or a curse, and the culprit of all this was Mo Jiazi.
"Your Majesty, please promote pesticides!"
"Your Majesty, please ban pesticides!"
As soon as Kong Yingda stepped down, Quan Wanji and Su Lingnong coincidentally came out together, speaking in unison.
In addition to the Tengu Eclipse Day, the most controversial thing in the entire ink art exhibition is pesticides, and the advantages and disadvantages of pesticides are clear at a glance.
Everyone knows that once pesticides are used, there are no pests and diseases in the farmland, and the yield will definitely be greatly increased, but its disadvantages are also very clear, this is a poison, comparable to the poison of arsenic, even if Mo Jiazi said that the smallpox is drunk, everyone knows that there can still be pesticide residues more or less, and how can people not worry about the entrance of the medicine?
"What does Lord Quan mean by this, as soon as the pesticide comes out, the people will definitely be able to harvest a bumper harvest year after year, and the court will be able to feed more people, how can it be banned." Su Lingnon said angrily. Now that the farmer has overcome the drought and locust plague, pests and diseases are the last shortcoming of the farmer, how can Su Lingnon not pay attention to it.
"Master Su, don't be anxious, it's also a good intention, although pesticides can promote increased production, but after all, they are poisons, even if they are like what Mo Jiazi said, there is little residue, but if you eat it every day, eat it every day, and accumulate toxins in the body over time, wouldn't it endanger my Datang foundation." Quan Wanji sneered.
For a moment, the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen couldn't help but nod their heads.
Even when science and technology were so developed in later generations, the panic of ordinary people about pesticides has been rampant, and even the strange thing of buying vegetables and buying insect eyes has appeared, not to mention that in this era of ignorance of the people, a little carelessness will definitely cause panic among the people.
For the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he is a daughter, how can he take a little risk, Quan Wanji is to seize this point, so he took the initiative to write to Li Shimin, he is not a Confucian without a reputation, coupled with the support of the Manchu officials, it can be said that he is full of confidence.
"It's just your guess! In less than a hundred years, the population of my Tang Dynasty has skyrocketed, if you don't take precautions, how can you feed so many people, and when the people are hungry and the people are struggling to make a living, you will know how precious food is. Su Lingnon said sharply.
For the Mo family, pesticides are just a kind of ink technique, even if pesticides are banned, Mo Dun just sighed and didn't say anything! However, for the farmer, it is very important, which is related to the rise and fall of the farmer.
And when Wen Denggu incident, Merton had already taught a lesson to everyone in the court, in the face of such a large population pressure in a short period of time, Su Lingnong was worried, and Mo Jiazi's introduction of pesticides at this time was simply a relief in the snow.
"My Datang is now in good weather, overcoming droughts, locust plagues and floods one after another, grain harvests year after year, and the prospects are very good. Quan Wanji said coldly.
Su Lingnon smiled angrily and said: "What you said about overcoming droughts, locust plagues, and floods is also the credit of the Mo family. ”
Quan Wanji was unmoved and said: "The old man admits that the Mo family has made great contributions, but not all the things of the Mo family are right. ”
Su Lingnon said coldly: "Then you have to see whether the people of the world agree or not." ”
Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents. The use of pesticides is profitable for farmers, and no matter how much Quan Wanji says, I am afraid it will not be able to stop it.
"Therefore, Weichen asked His Majesty to prohibit the production of pesticides in Mojia Village to prevent future troubles." Quan Wanji decided.
"Your Majesty! The people take food as the sky, and the increase in grain production in our Datang is a sign of prosperity, how can we cut off the future. Su Linong exclaimed.
Quan Wanji retorted: "It's because the people regard food as the sky, how can the things that are imported be mixed with a little poison, who dares to eat such food." ”
"Your Majesty, please." The two asked Li Shimin for his life at the same time.
Li Shimin slowly got up and said: "There are pros and cons to pesticides, and what the two Aiqing said makes sense. However, I believe that it is the doctor's duty to determine whether it can be eaten, and didn't Merton say that all Mojia villages should eat food that uses pesticides? Will the doctor find out when the time comes? ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Su Lingnon said happily, with what he knew about Merton. I believe that Merton will not do something that he is not sure of.
"What about this year's pesticides?" Quan Wanji asked anxiously.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Pesticides continue to be produced, but they cannot be sold to the people privately, and they will be sent to the Tang Ten Dao by the imperial court." Once there is an insect plague, pesticides are immediately used to exterminate insects, and the grain laid down is purchased by the imperial court. ”
The two had to bow down and say yes!
Quan Wanji's face suddenly darkened, he didn't expect that he was above the court, with the support of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and he still couldn't stop the Mo family.
However, Quan Wanji's face turned grim, pesticides are highly poisonous, and it is not easy to do something, and it will be up to Mo Jiazi to see how it ends.
