Chapter 292
Yang Quan said here, seeing that Chongzhen was still a little puzzled, without waiting for Chongzhen to ask, he continued, "Now the people are in difficulty, if the Xuanfu continues to raise money from the people, the people may not be able to support it, if the corn is set as a tribute, and it is approved by His Majesty, then the rich people in the city will compete to buy it, of course, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been sympathetic to the people's strength, and has cancelled the local tributes, and Weichen does not think much about it, that is, I hope that after His Majesty sets the position of this corn tribute, a few days later, considering how difficult the people's livelihood is, the tribute will be revoked, and the value of this corn will increase sharplyβ
Just as Yang Quan finished speaking, he only heard a "pop", but it was Emperor Chongzhen who slapped the desk in front of him suddenly, stood up, and shouted at Yang Quan, "Ridiculous!" How can the king of a country do such a deceitful act? Yang Quan, did you let me do this unkind and unrighteous thing, is it with your intentions? β
Yang Quan looked at Chongzhen with an angry face, and his heart was also anxious, he ignored Lu Xiangsheng behind him to pull his clothes, but he raised his head and said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the last general is dedicated to the public, the court is so difficult, so he forced the last general to give birth to this helpless move, the minister has a clear conscience, the rich only account for two parts of the world's population, but account for ninety percent of the wealth, get some property from their hands, isn't it better to increase the tax burden on the people?" β
When Chongzhen heard this, he was even more furious, Lu Xiangsheng on the side secretly said that it was broken, and hurriedly put a foot on Yang Quan's knee, Yang Quan pounced and knelt on the ground, and Lu Xiangsheng also prostrate on the ground, "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry,"
After speaking, he turned around and shouted at Yang Quan: "You are a talent, but you are a farmer, you know what to do, such a despicable person, you dare to talk about state affairs, I think you are stupid to farm the land!"
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Chongzhen, whose chest was rising and falling violently, and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, it is the ministers who are not strict in their control, so that this rude person has disturbed Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will be guilty of dereliction of duty!" β
Chongzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Quan who were kneeling below, a trace of annoyance leaked from his face, but he immediately hid it, he took a deep breath and sat down again, "Yang Quan, for Lu Aiqing's sake today, I won't cure your crimes, but if there are such things in the future, I will cure you for the crime of arguing about state affairs!!"
Yang Quan endured the pain in his knees, thinking of Fang Cai's own words, but he was shocked, why did he say anything just now? He actually said such a thing to Chongzhen? I really don't want to die! At this time, when he heard Chongzhen's words, he hurriedly bowed down, "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, the last general will never dare again,"
After speaking, Yang Quan was a little aggrieved in his heart, in this era, he pays attention to his birth and status, he is a farmer, not a scholar, and now he is being scolded by the emperor for discussing state affairs, hehe, can those scholars govern the country well? If it is changed to the current words, it is nothing more than a group of two-stroke Kan goods, Kan Dashan all day long, and finally forced to a dead end, suicide, this is still one of the backbones, if it is the shameless man, I am afraid that he will still survive and even surrender to the enemy, if it is not for those traitors to the enemy, how can Jiannu repeatedly attack the interior of the Ming Dynasty?
Chongzhen obviously had no desire to continue talking with Yang Quan, and waved his hand to let Lu Xiangsheng and them retreat, and when Yang Quan and they retreated, the entire hall of the Qianqing Palace, except for a few eunuchs, only Chongzhen was left sitting there, and after a while, this Chongzhen Emperor showed a wry smile, in fact, Yang Quan's other words, Chongzhen may not be angry, but the last sentence "Isn't it better to get some wealth from the rich than to increase the tax burden on the people?" It's like a thorn pierced into Chongzhen's heart, this Yang Quan's seemingly unintentional words made Chongzhen's heart wake up, and now he keeps increasing taxes, but the country not only has any improvement, but it is even more chaotic, those people who should be docile, this repeated rebellion, so that the court is tired of coping, but why did those people rebel?
This farmer-born Yang Quan is not simple. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chongzhen thought about it, but the brush in his hand was written an edict on this bookcase.
Outside the Fengtian Gate, Lu Xiangsheng was looking at Yang Quan with a puzzled expression, and after a while, he shook his head and sighed, "I really can't see the business book clearly, if you say that you are strategizing, most of the food and salary that are now Xuanda are earned according to your words." But if you say that you are reckless, you are just in the Qianqing Palace, and you can say those words? Even if he is the emperor of the court, who dares to say such things to His Majesty? β
Yang Quan smiled bitterly. In fact, Yang Quan's heart understands that the reason why he would say such things inside, in the final analysis, is because he has too many feelings for this last Han Dynasty in his heart, and he does not want this last prosperous era of the Han nationality to turn into the dust of history, and the Han civilization will fall into darkness. He wanted Chongzhen to wake up too much, so that he could realize where the crux of the Ming Dynasty was now. However, this is the secret of his heart, but he can't tell it to outsiders, so he has to force a smile and said, "It's to make the superintendent laugh, he is only in this palace, he just wants to persuade His Majesty, somehow, his head twitched, and he actually said such a thing,"
Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, "Forget it, today's events are in the past, but in the future, we must pay attention to the fact that above the court, intrigue is even more dangerous than this, if there is a slight loophole, it will be caught by the other party, and it will often end up ruined." In the future, we must pay more attention to these officialdom and vulgar things. β
"Inspector, I don't know if there is any hope for turning corn into a tribute?" Yang Quan hesitated for a moment and asked.
Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a moment, "If it is usual, I'm afraid don't talk about the tribute, even if it is a business, you will have to be demoted and investigated, but today I look at Your Majesty, although I am angry, but I am heavy lifted, gently put down, and I just reprimanded Wuben, and now, I can't see through it."
Lu Xiangsheng looked up at the sky, untied a token from his waist, and said to Yang Quan, "Wuben, it's not early at this time, I'm not in Xuanfu, I'm afraid that some people below will not be very stable, you take my token, go back quickly, supervise all matters in the army, if someone wants to make trouble, I will allow you the right to be arbitrary!" β
Yang Quan was stunned for a moment, but took the token, "My lord, what about Jingzhong?" β
"You don't care, with me in Jingshi, what else are you worried about? You should leave Beijing with your guards earlier," Lu Xiangsheng said.
Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was so persistent, Yang Quan arched his hand, went to the mansion of the county lord of Fuqing, briefly talked to Zhu Xiuqing, and left a letter to Wang Wensu, and asked the county lord to send it over, and then led the people and horses to the north.
Yang Quan, who was sitting on horseback, looked down and thought that when he said goodbye to Zhu Xiuqing, Zhu Xiuqing breathed a sigh of relief and just said, "Let's go, it's safe to go." Yang Quan asked carefully, but the county lord gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, but at this time, those who were as politically dull as Yang Quan also felt that now the Jingshi had begun to surge.
