Chapter 149: The Battle of Ideas
On the one hand, Xu Jie has reacted a little now, that Emperor Longqing is a lazy person, and he is so lazy that he forgets.
You want to!
Emperor Longqing didn't even bother to forget Xu Jie's betrayal of him, Zhang Juzheng was on the throne, and Emperor Longqing must have been very happy at first, remembering Zhang Juzheng's goodness. But soon it will be too lazy to forget.
And Luo Xin consciously spread some words, so that Zhang Juzheng's credit was reduced.
There is also a result, which is to make Gao Gong have a great sense of crisis, such a sense of crisis will definitely cause Gao Gong to deepen the relationship with Ma Fang and Luo Xin, and this sense of crisis, Ma Fang and Luo Xin will also have, which causes the relationship between the three of them to become closer and closer.
The most important thing is that Emperor Longqing is too lazy, Xu Jie has been able to foresee the future, Emperor Longqing will not take care of the government, and he will not make a holy judgment, everything will be fought for in the cabinet through struggle.
"Gao Ge Lao, Your Majesty's body?" Luo Xin's face showed a deep worry.
Gao Gong naturally knew what Emperor Longqing was doing every day when he didn't go to court. Xu Jie has spies in the palace, and he has them too. Therefore, his face also showed worry:
"yes, but what's the solution? Now only those of us who are courtiers have worked harder. By the way, you have to hurry up and enter the cabinet. Only when the position is reached, can I contribute more to His Majesty. ”
Luo Xin was silent, remembering that Emperor Longqing promised him to let him be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. But...... It seems that Emperor Longqing forgot about it......
Up to the court.
Emperor Longqing sat on the dragon chair, his face full of tiredness. Luo Xin and Gao Gong glanced at each other and sighed silently.
Gao Gong and Luo Xin were worried, but the officials were in good spirits.
It's going to court again!
It's time to quarrel again!
"Your Majesty's ......"
No, someone started playing it right away.
"Your Majesty, the Criminal Department, and the Inspectorate are playing together, and in accordance with the edict of the first emperor and His Majesty's edict of ascending to the pole, the three divisions have begun to redress unjust and wrongful cases, and have preliminarily drawn up a list......"
There was a lot of rambling, and in the end, Emperor Longqing just said lazily "Pick up".
"Your Majesty."
You sing and I'll appear.
"Now that the north is trading with each other, and the southern city is prosperous, and the merchants of the state capitals are flocking to it, it is no longer appropriate to pay thirty taxes and one. Moreover, at the beginning, the city and the northern mutual market had tried to pay 15 taxes and 1, and the minister believed that this was far from enough, and should be 10 taxes and 1. And it should not be limited to the northern mutual market and the southern market, but should be promoted nationwide. ”
"Ridiculous, how can you compete with the people?" This is the voice of the naysayers.
"You are ridiculous, take it from the people, use it for the people, do you understand?"
"You're the real ridiculous. The Ming Dynasty valued agriculture over commerce, and businessmen pursued profits. Once the commercial tax is raised, there is no doubt that the status of the merchant will also be raised. If the businessman had a status, wouldn't the entire Ming Dynasty start to pursue profits?
This is shaking the country's foundation! ”
“…………”
In just an instant, the Qianqing Palace became a vegetable market, and the controversy was never more intense. Luo Xin watched coldly, and saw that Xu Jie and Gao Gong had not spoken, as if they were watching from the wall.
But Luo Xin knew very well that it was Gao Gong who proposed to increase the commercial tax, because the person who played the music was the person who was Gao Gong. Later, those who jumped out to support were also high-arched people.
However, the opponents are not only Xu Jie's people.
Let's put it this way, except for the people who are in favor of Gao Gong, the rest of the people are opposing, and the people of Xu Jie, the centrists, and the people who play soy sauce are all fiercely opposing this proposal.
This is normal!
Ma Wuye grass is not fertile, and now these officials standing in the Qianqing Palace, which official is not in business?
It's just that they don't show their heads, and this increase in commercial taxes is to take money out of their pockets. Gao Gong is declaring war on all officials, thinking about all merchants.
This is definitely a pole to poke the hornet's nest, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of trouble after the high arch, and it will be difficult.
"Alas......" Luo sighed confidently: "This high arch is still too anxious." At the beginning, he had fifteen taxes and one tax, and that was only for the mutual market and the city. Now Gao Gong wants to target all merchants at once, or ten taxes and one.
Lord Gao, you are not the first assistant of the cabinet now!
Even if you become the head of the cabinet, you can't do this until your heels are stable, it's like walking on the edge of a cliff!
Not to mention......
You still have a Xu Jie standing there. ”
Luo Xin's gaze swept over the people in the hall, and his heart sank.
Twenty-eight open!
Only 20 percent support high arches, while 80 percent oppose high arches.
In this way, Gao Gong was really suppressed by Xu Jie! This is also Luo Xin's people, who are not qualified to stand in the Qianqing Palace, if Luo Xin enters the cabinet and uses a few years to promote some of his own people, at that time, Luo Xin will be able to speak out in the court.
The voice became louder and louder, and Gao Gong saw that there were few people on his side, and some of them couldn't resist, so he coughed heavily and shouted:
"Don't make any noise!"
This voice made the hall quiet, and Gao Gong immediately spoke:
"Let's respectfully ask the Holy Judge!"
The officials in the Qianqing Palace all bowed their heads slightly, waiting for the holy ruling.
But......
But he didn't hear Emperor Longqing's voice for a long time, and Gao Gong couldn't help but secretly raise his head and look at Emperor Longqing on the dragon chair. The figure couldn't help but shake, and a huge loss rose in my heart.
That...... Emperor Longqing actually fell asleep!
fell asleep in the midst of such a loud quarrel......
How tired this Emperor Longqing is at night! How little attention is paid to the court!
Gao Gong couldn't help glaring at Feng Bao, who was standing beside Emperor Longqing, and Feng Bao hurriedly gently pulled Emperor Longqing's sleeve.
"Oh?"
Emperor Longqing didn't fall asleep, and he woke up after being gently pulled by Feng Bao. His eyes swept downward, and he saw Baiguan standing there quietly, bowing his head slightly.
"What does that mean? Is it a retreat? ”
Although Emperor Longqing didn't understand the government, he remembered that he couldn't be embarrassed, so he didn't leave immediately, but turned his head to look at Feng Bao and made a look, which meant:
"Have you retreated?"
Feng Bao has followed Emperor Longqing all his life, and he knows more about Emperor Longqing, and he immediately understood Emperor Longqing's eyes, so he shook his head slightly.
This time Emperor Longqing was embarrassed, he didn't know what was going on, so he looked down, and saw that they all lowered their heads slightly, and they couldn't see what they meant.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw Luo Xin looking up at him and making a lip gesture with him.
"Pick it up!"
He knew the shape of these two words too well, and he went to court for a few days, just saying these two words. Immediately understood in his heart, and said:
"Pick it up!"
"Hoo ......"
The officials all breathed a sigh of relief, but it was strange that His Majesty reacted so slowly?
The chapter was sent to Emperor Longqing, who hurriedly read it and said calmly:
"I want to think about it, is there anything else?"
"The minister has his own music!"
