Chapter 1363: Rebellion
Zhang Dengfeng's words made Li Zhongyi have mixed feelings and a lot of emotion.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier!
People are dead!
No matter how many orders or decrees there are, they cannot solve a very fatal problem, that is, whether Li Zhongyi's chosen successor will continue to implement the land restriction order and tax equalization order issued by Li Zhongyi.
The land restriction decree restricted the amount of basic means of production in the hands of the wealthy officials and gentry, while the equalization tax decree deprived the wealthy officials and gentry of the privilege of not paying taxes.
These two decrees, in essence, safeguard the fundamental rights of "noble sons from poor families"!
Li Zhongyi saw it very clearly, as long as the rights of the noble son of the poor family are blocked for a long time, the world will definitely be in chaos!
During the Three Kingdoms period in history, when Cao Cao was in power, the nobles of the poor family continued to emerge above the court, so the national strength became more and more prosperous.
However, in the era when Cao Pi was in power, Cao Pi listened to Chen Qun's deception and came up with the nine-product Zhongzheng system to safeguard the interests of the gate valve. As a result, Cao Wei's road to the rise of poor talents was gradually blocked.
Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat!
Only those who win the hearts of the people can sit firmly in the world!
"Now that you've seen the crux of the problem, why teach me?" Li Zhongyi exhaled slowly and asked Zhang Dengfeng lightly.
"Back to the emperor, the ministers think that the princes should know the suffering of the cold family!" Zhang Dengfeng's words were not much, but they happened to hit the biggest worry in Li Zhongyi's heart.
"Yes, none of my sons have a separate teacher, I do it myself!" Li Zhongyi rarely sighed.
Zhang Dengfeng didn't dare to accept this, but he knew very well in his heart that Li Zhongyi was the teacher of the princes himself, and there was nothing wrong with him at all except for the time problem.
Li Zhongyi's sons actually also have literacy and character learning. However, this kind of teaching is carefully selected from the miscellaneous subjects.
Between them and the prince, there is a teacher, but there is no teacher's name!
The richer and more wealthy the family, the more the children lack frustration education, this is Li Zhongyi's deep understanding!
Therefore, Li Zhongyi's sons apply the same standards as everyone, and so far, there has not been a prince who has been rewarded with a knighthood.
The prince and the marquis, a total of six knighthoods!
Fame, but it is taken right away, and no military merit is not awarded, and Li Zhongyi's own sons are no exception!
"How do you recognize the suffering of the poor?" Li Zhongyi asked Zhang Dengfeng quietly.
Zhang Dengfeng replied without hesitation: "Wen started from the county and was promoted step by step; Wu started from the capital and gradually rose to the top...... Only when he has served in the prefecture and county, as an official close to the people, can he know the suffering of the people......"
Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, this Zhang Dengfeng is a person with a sense of the overall situation, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely reuse it.
During this day in Yunzhou, Li Zhongyi gave Zhang Dengfeng two banquets, one on the boat, and one for him to take back to enjoy with his family.
Zhang Sanzheng looked at the back of Zhang Dengfeng getting off the boat, and whispered: "The emperor rarely gives two banquets in a row, from this point of view, this Zhang Zhizhou is about to rise to prominence." ”
Gao Qiang smiled and said, "This Zhang Zhizhou has entered the eyes of the emperor, and his future is limitless!" ”
Zhang Sanzheng and Gao Qiang looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent, and there was no need to say it clearly.
The next stop in Yunzhou was Bozhou, and the governor of Bozhou was concurrently served by Zheng Wencheng, the envoy of the Tianxiong Army, who was a confidant of the Fu family of the Daimyo Mansion.
After Li Zhongyi took the Daimyo's Mansion, Zheng Wencheng was the first to raise troops to surrender to Cheng, and he also set an example, so Li Zhongyi ordered him to be the envoy of the Tianxiong Army and the governor of Bozhou.
After the army arrived in Bozhou, Zheng Wencheng had been waiting on the dock for a long time, and Zhang Sanzheng landed on the shore to pass Li Zhongyi's message and ordered Zheng Wencheng to board the ship.
Zheng Wencheng was a little hesitant, however, inside and outside the dock were the forbidden troops of the imperial court, and he didn't dare to disobey.
After Zheng Wencheng boarded the dragon boat alone, he had been waiting for his high strength for a long time, and shouted: "Come on, take down Zheng Wencheng!" ”
Before Zheng Wencheng could react, more than a dozen soldiers of the Guards on the left and right had already rushed up like wolves and tigers, and tied Zheng Wencheng to death.
"Why did you tie me up? Why did you tie me up? Wronged...... Wronged......" Zheng Wencheng was shocked and hurriedly shouted injustice.
Gao Qiang held Li Zhongyi's oracle in his hand, and said with a cold smile: "Zheng Wencheng, the emperor ordered me to ask you, can you be guilty?" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ministers have wronged ......" Zheng Wencheng knew that the incident in the east window had happened, but he never dared to admit it.
Gao Qiang sneered: "If the emperor ordered me to ask you, who else did you see the night you met Fu Zhaoxin?" ”
"This ......" Zheng Wencheng was speechless for a while, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Since you can't answer, then I'll answer for you, in the first half of the night, after you met Fu Zhaoxin, you drank with Zhao Kuangyi until dawn in the second half of the night." Gao Qiang snorted coldly, "After dawn, when you sent Zhao Kuangyi away, you also said something very important. The emperor ordered me to ask you, do you remember? ”
"This ...... This ...... "Zheng Wencheng was horrified, if it was so secret, only God knew that he knew Zhao Kuangyi, how could it be leaked?
Obviously, it was Zhao Kuangyi who sold Zheng Wencheng, but Zheng Wencheng couldn't turn a corner for a while.
"Hehe, you said, as long as the flag is raised over there, you will definitely respond immediately, am I wrong?" Gao Qiang even described Zheng Wencheng's original words completely, and it was word for word.
Until now, Zheng Wencheng suddenly realized that he was completely betrayed by Zhao Kuangyi!
"Zheng Wencheng, can you be guilty?" Gao Qiang glared at Zheng Wencheng with a smile, like a civet cat playing with mice.
"Minister...... The minister is guilty! Zheng Wencheng knew that the matter had been completely exposed, and even if he continued to deny it, it would be just futile and useless, so he simply bowed his head and admitted it.
When Gao Qiang took Zheng Wencheng's confession and came to see Li Zhongyi, he saw Li Zhongyi smile and said, "Tell me, how did he recruit him?" ”
Gao Qiang described how Zheng Wencheng colluded with Zhao Kuangyi and planned to support the little emperor of the Chai family from beginning to end.
Li Zhongyi touched his chin and said with a smile: "Anyone who cooperates with Zhao Laosan will eventually be betrayed by him for one round, or even two rounds." ”
Gao Qiang knew in his heart that Li Zhongyi's prejudice against Zhao Kuangyi was very deep, and his impression was extremely bad.
In fact, Gao Qiang had also heard of Zhao Kuangyi's "glorious" betrayal of Murong Yanzhao before, but Murong Yanzhao didn't say anything bad about Zhao Kuangyi even in the end.
"You send a few people to escort Zheng Wencheng to the capital and hand it over to Li Qiong and Li Xianggong." Li Zhongyi beckoned Gao Qiang to his side and carefully advised.
