Chapter 20: Receiving the Righteous and Helping Much
It turns out that in front of the right. What rituals, what traditions, are all false!
Even Zhou Wushang Soup, there are people who hold stinky feet and wash white, and just give Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor Xian the temple number, what is it?
Immediately, there was an official in a thousand-stone court uniform, who came out to worship and said: "Your Majesty's filial piety touches the sky, and when the ministers hear it, they also admire Your Majesty's filial piety!" Chen Wen Zhongni said: The world will be benevolent, and the good man will rule the country for a hundred years, and he can also win and kill! Emperor Xiaowu and the first emperor ruled the world for more than 50 years, Bude practiced martial arts, and his merits were written in the bamboo silk, and the city was empty, and there was also grace, and the ministers thought that the first emperor should set up a temple to worship it, so that the world from generation to generation, all know the virtue of Emperor Xiaowu and the first emperor! ”
Liu Yi had already listened and bowed slightly. This is a good courtier!
It should be written down and commended in the future!
It's just that......
Liu Yi was already looking down at that official at this moment, and suddenly appeared, isn't this the Guanglu doctor Long'e Hou Han Zeng?
He shook his head, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Yi, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty who was standing in front of the hundred officials. Liu Yi had already discovered that Yang Yi was like no one else, with his head bowed and hunched over, and he had no intention of jumping out to follow the advice of his subordinates, let alone standing up and fighting for reason.
Seeing Yang Yi's appearance, Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh. Actually, Guanglu Doctor Han Zeng jumped out, which in itself speaks for itself! What can an official who can't even suppress his subordinates expect him to do? When a vase?
After Han Zeng, Zongzheng Liu De followed him and bowed out: "Your Majesty, Chende also seconded the proposal, the virtue of the first emperor and the filial piety emperor is boundless, and the emperor temple should be established!" "Liu De is Zongzheng, he jumped out, no one is surprised. It's within the scope of your business. didn't jump out first because he wanted to give face to the prime minister, but seeing that the prime minister didn't react, he hurriedly came out to respond.
The rest of the courtiers, you look at me, and I look at yours. None of them spoke, some because their official positions were too small, and they were not qualified to speak without permission, and some people were afraid of the general Huo Guang and others who were sitting in front. At this time, the imperial servant Du Yannian came out to relieve the embarrassment and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the matter is very important, and Your Majesty is better to be the empress dowager first, and after discussion, then summon the ministers and others to discuss,..." Many officials who were opposed to the establishment of a temple for the first emperor immediately came out one after another as if they had found the backbone of the main body: "The ministers think that what the imperial servant said is very true, please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Yi had already heard Du Yannian's invitation and continued: "What the imperial servant said is very much in line with my intentions, and after I go to the empress dowager to discuss, I will come to discuss with Zhu Qing!" ”
But fortunately, his goal has basically been achieved. He wrote down all the courtiers who jumped out to support him, and only waited for a monarch to play the right role in two days, and then arranged these people to key positions to serve as his eyes, ears, hands and feet. Of course, to build a temple for the first emperor, this is definitely to be erected.
Liu himself is well aware that he has a shallow foundation and needs such political activities to strengthen his legitimacy in power. If he relied on righteousness and prestige, he would have been hollowed out by the ministers of the court. But Huo Guang and others could only win over and cooperate.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi had already spoken again: Where is the Shaofu Order?
"The minister's mansion ordered Zhao Chongguo to be here!" Shaofu ordered Zhao Chongguo to come out of the queue to receive the order.
The edicts of the emperor of the Han dynasty were basically drafted by the Shangshu and the servants of the Shaofu, and before they were submitted to the emperor, the emperor only needed to check and seal them.
Otherwise, I really think that the emperor's article level is so good, and he knows all the allusions?
After Zhao Chongguo was in place, Liu Che continued: "Where is the prime minister? ”
"The minister is here!" Yang Yi hurriedly came out of the queue.
"Where is the general?"
"The minister is here!" Huo Guang also hurriedly came out of the queue.
"Where's the Rider General?"
"The minister is in" Zhang Anshi also hurried out of the ranks
Liu Yi had already stood up. Looking at these ministers, he held his hand and said: "Shang Shulu edict: I inherited the great treasure of the first emperor and won the Baozong Temple." With a small body, he is entrusted to the Zhaomin monarch. Only trembling, walking on thin ice, fearing the immorality of the Emperor, to shame the legacy of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xiaowen! ”
As soon as the ministers saw this posture, they immediately all followed behind Yang Yi and Huo Guang, prostrate on the ground.
The Son of Heaven issued an edict, who would dare to sit?
I only heard the clear voice of the new monarch, echoing in the court: "I am young. I don't know the ancient sage king, the second of ruling the world, however, I heard it, the ancient holy king ruled the world, the people did not endow, and the sea was rich enough, although I was not sensitive, I also yearned for it, and its order. From now on, the people of the county and the country of the world will be taxed twenty-one times and will never be added! ”
As soon as this bombshell was dropped, the ministers only felt that their eyes were a little foggy.
"Never give?" Many people look at me, I look at you, and they are relatively speechless for a while.
Liu Yi looked at the courtiers triumphantly.
I have to say that the Manchu Qing's never-ending performance is a very bonus measure. It's just that the problem is that the so-called never endowment is actually a false proposition!
In China, taxes. It's always separated. The tax is used for national defense spending, yamen expenditure, and various local affairs and channel excavation and repair, etc.
And Fu. It was used to build a palace temple for the emperor to eat, drink and have fun. So. Only in the later Ming Dynasty did there be a so-called difference between internal anger and household division. In the Han Dynasty, the tax was uniformly returned to the state treasury, and the fu was kept by the Shaofu. The crux of the matter is that if you don't collect taxes, you can collect taxes! Left and right, but left hand to right hand.
Otherwise, do you think that the peasants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty all lived in heaven and did not have to pay taxes?
But at this moment, there are basically no ministers who know the trick of stealing concepts.
Everyone was stunned.
During the period of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, the Liu family often exempted various land taxes to buy people's hearts.
When Emperor Xiaojing ascended the throne, he waved his sleeves and directly reduced the field tax to thirty taxes. It created the prosperity of the rule of Wenjing, and Emperor Xiaowu because of the perennial war against the Huns, coupled with great joy, sealed Mount Tai and built Jianzhang Palace. The people's tax has been raised to 41 taxes, and the people's population tax age has been lowered. Only when the first emperor ascended the throne lowered the taxes and mouth taxes, and the people were able to recuperate.
It's good today, but when you come up, you will shout that you will never be given. However, this matter has no impact on the minister. Fu is for the emperor's and heavenly expenses. The emperor's money in the treasury of the Shaofu was always separate from the state's expenses. It has almost no impact on the operation of ministers and local yamen! It's just that it will affect the enthusiasm of the officials when collecting taxes! This is also the confidence of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty to dare to shout that they will never be given. Otherwise, you want him to shout that he will never raise taxes, give it a try? Let's see if those Jin merchant landlords will rise up and tear up the millions of Eight Banner soldiers! Therefore, many ministers are only shocked.
If you don't give more, you never give more. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with them. Even, there were many ministers who were full of ideals and Mingjun thoughts, and they were immediately moved, and even their faces turned red.
Never give! What a benevolent government! Three Emperors and Five Emperors, who mentioned it, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who shouted it? What a Renjun!
As a result, Liu Yi finally has the first vote of brainless fans, and He is a supporter of the court.
"Your Majesty will benefit the world, and Ze will be born by the common people, and it is beyond the reach of ministers!" Regardless of which faction, the officials immediately kowtowed: "Please send an edict to announce the world, so that the world will know Your Majesty's benevolence and love for the people!" ”
Liu Yi had already breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes! ”
With this edict, at the very least, yeoman farmers and small and medium-sized landlords will regard him, the son of heaven, as their own father. As for the people at the bottom, I am afraid that they will be eager to set up a tablet for him and bow down day and night. With this foundation, he is not afraid that anyone will dare to touch him. With this edict conveyed to the county of the world, his throne will truly be as stable as Mount Tai. Whoever moves him will be ready to bear the wrath of the people of the world. Of course, he didn't dare to be proud. continued: "After the edict is drafted, it will be transferred to the East Palace, and the Queen Mother will be asked to look at it, and then it will be promulgated to the world!" "Actually, it's just going through the motions. It's nothing more than a matter of being a showman and being respectful.
Liu Yi has continued: In my name, I am afraid that the subjects of the world will be inconvenient. Prime Minister, General, Che Cavalry General, Zongzheng, Taichang, the Queen Mother, please give the Queen Mother a name.
The first emperor swept Shen Ke, eliminated the traitor, and Bude the world. I have heard of ...... Zhong Ni said: Simin, the reason why the three generations are straight! Believe! , let the people of the world appreciate the virtue of the first emperor, and give the princes and kings of the world the first level of the father, and the people have a hundred dollars. Prime Minister, General, Che Cavalry General, each plus 500 Shichang, Huo Yu, the son of the General Huo Guang, is He Hongjun, and Zhang Pengzuhe, the son of the Che Cavalry General Zhang Anshi, Yin Jun. Huo Shan, the nephew of the great general Huo Guang, Shi Gao, my uncle, and Shangguan An, the nephew of the Queen Mother, are all in the middle of the service, accompanying the left and right.
Prime Minister Yang Yi has worked hard and made great contributions, and he has already submitted his resignation yesterday. There is a division of its merits, and it is passed on to all directions. The general Huo Guang is an old minister of the three dynasties, has both ability and political integrity, is the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, and commands hundreds of officials. Shaofu Decree Record Edict!
In the kneeling of hundreds of officials, Liu Aiji's first court meeting came to an end. At this moment, together with Huo Guang and many others, they all knew.
A new era has arrived. In the future, this world and this country will belong to the young man who sits on the royal couch, full of confidence and vitality!
