Chapter 20 The assists keep coming
Emperor Chongzhen looked up and found that this person was none other than Zhao Liangchen, who was officially assigned to Zhao Liangchen, the official was not big, and the position was not important. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info couldn't help but sigh in my heart, these people! He has a lot of experience in fighting, he never stands up on his own, and always sends these little minions out.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Chongzhen slowly spoke: "Aiqing is willing to destroy the family and relieve the difficulties, I am very relieved!" β
Although it is not the first time to see the nowhere face of a civil official, Emperor Chongzhen is still very emotional, the literati are shameless, and they really don't want to have any face at all.
If you are willing to destroy your family and relieve your difficulties, why are you not willing to pay this tax? What else do you say for the sake of the people, and who are those who do not pay taxes? Are there ordinary people? Not at all, that's just making something out of nothing here!
Emperor Chongzhen can't wait to push the boat down the river, since you are willing to destroy your home and relieve the difficulties, then I will copy your home and directly destroy the family to relieve the difficulties.
By the way, ask the ministers in the court, who else is willing to destroy their family to relieve the difficulties, and he directly copied their home, knowing that he would not do this, and still saying this kind of here, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhao Liangchen deeply, and counted it in his heart.
"I know the heartfelt feelings of all Aiqing, Aiqing are full of books of sages, and they are naturally willing to destroy their families to relieve difficulties, I am very relieved!"
Listening to Emperor Chongzhen say this again, he also deliberately emphasized the destruction of the family and the relief of the difficulty, and at the same time included all the ministers, and suddenly some people realized that something was wrong.
"Since the ministers are willing to destroy their families and relieve difficulties, it is naturally not a problem to pay a little tax, compared to destroying their families and relieving difficulties, paying this tax can help the court, I believe that all of you are willing!" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly looked emotional: "I am a loyal and upright person of the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is in front of me!" β
His gaze swept over the ministers, and Emperor Chongzhen's expression seemed to be very excited, and the expressions on his face were extremely excited.
"There are three categories of tax-exempt groups in the imperial court, one is the emperor's relatives, the second is the nobles, and the third is the scholars." Emperor Chongzhen didn't give them a chance to speak, and continued: "Since the Aiqing are willing to set an example for the world, I will definitely tell the world, I believe that all the soldiers in the world will learn from you, and they will definitely be willing to pay taxes!" β
The ministers below were suddenly silent, the emperor said this, what should we say?
Obviously, someone reacted, the destruction of the family mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen earlier was a trap, and Zhao Liangchen stepped into it with one foot.
Some people even began to wonder if this Zhao Liangchen was an undercover agent arranged by the emperor? Why didn't others speak, you spoke first, and others didn't speak, you spoke first? It's hard to believe that it's not arranged!
At this time, Dingguo Gong, who had just assisted Emperor Chongzhen, stood up again and said loudly: "The ministers and nobles have received the grace of the country, the wealth of the world, the emperor's grace is vast, there is nothing to repay, let alone paying taxes, even if it is a ruined family and relieving the difficulties, it should be shared, and the ministers are willing to take the lead in paying taxes!" β
The other nobles seemed to have a tacit understanding, and when they heard the words of Dingguo Gong, they all expressed their positions one after another, and they all supported loudly.
The ministers seemed to have eaten flies, and their eyes looked at Dingguo Gong even more unkindly, it was you just now, and now it's still you, what are you going to do? Some people even want to cover Dingguogong's mouth, what kind of thing is this!
More people set their eyes on Zhao Liangchen, the meaning is self-evident, you say it yourself, you say it yourself, what kind of thing are you doing!
Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, the eunuchs outside had already run in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Hui and His Royal Highness King Gui will see you outside." β
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, why did his two imperial uncles come? Without the slightest thought, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Xuan! "At this moment, it is impossible for this imperial uncle of mine to come to smash the field, obviously to cheer for himself.
King Hui walked in front, and the two eunuchs supported him, his face was very pale, and his body was very weak at first glance.
Seeing that King Hui was about to salute, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang is exempt, come here, move a chair for King Hui!" As he spoke, he said to King Hui, "Uncle Huang, why are you here?" Are you feeling better? I also said that I went to see the emperor after the dispersal of the dynasty! β
King Hui looked at Emperor Chongzhen and sighed in his heart, his nephew is really not simple!
Thinking of his mother's words, King Hui suddenly made up his mind in his heart, the main royal family is good, and we people will be good. Once the emperor has money, he will give you a little more when you are in the domain, what is the value of that little tax? What are the benefits of going against the emperor?
"Emperor Xie is worried, the minister just occasionally feels cold, and after taking a little medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, he is already much better!" King Hui sat down slowly with the support of the eunuch.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction: "It's the best, it's just that the imperial uncle came to the court today, but is there anything wrong?" β
"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to say when they come to the court!" Saying that, King Hui turned his gaze to the ministers: "This king is the emperor's uncle, and the world of the Ming Dynasty was brought down by Taizu. β
"Now there is no need to do anything else, just pay some taxes, the minister is willing to take the lead in paying taxes, the heavenly family is affectionate, and the minister is willing to share the hardships with the Ming Dynasty!"
What King Hui said is also extremely serious, whoever is unwilling, that is, who is unwilling to share the hardships with the country.
King Gui on the side also hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to take the lead in paying taxes, and the minister will mobilize all the emperor's relatives and relatives." The minister also believes that the emperor's relatives are also dedicated to the country and will definitely be willing to contribute to the country. β
The ministers looked at each other and chuckled in their hearts, is this the rhythm that is going to be finished?
The nobles agreed, and the emperor's relatives agreed, so are the scholars who are left to oppose it? These people have always flaunted loyalty and patriotism, is it possible to drop the chain at this time? But if you really want to agree, the loss is too great!
"The minister is also willing to take the lead in paying taxes!" Zhou Guozhang also reacted at this time, he couldn't look at the wind, he wanted to express his position, so he took a step forward and said loudly: "As the ruler of the country, he should do his best for the country and is willing to take the lead in paying taxes." β
"The emperor is an example for the world and is willing to pay taxes to enrich the treasury, and the ministers naturally follow closely behind, and they dare not slack off!"
The emperor's relatives didn't ask at all, at least the problem was in Shuntianfu, as for the vassal kings in various places, Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay too much attention to it, the vassal kings of this era didn't have the strength to argue with the emperor, and it was impossible to come to the Qingjun side once.
Once this policy was promoted, he would send an edict to the vassal kings in various places, or when they came to Beijing to worship, he would beat them.
The ministers are completely out of idea at this time, what should they do? Many people have set their sights on the previous ones, and now it is too stupid to jump out to oppose them, and someone needs to break the deadlock, and the people with this status are naturally several ministers of the cabinet.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are also willing to follow the emperor and take the lead in paying taxes!" Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the military department, who had been silent, stood up as soon as possible and fired the first shot that the officials agreed, his face was still expressionless, but the words were really loud.
Sun Chengzong's words were like a signal, and several people jumped out at once, including Guo Yunhou, the head of the household department, Yin Wenzhen, Meng, and so on.
Shi Feng looked at this situation and knew that the general trend had gone, there was no way, and he didn't want to confront the emperor at this time.
Yang Tinghe is amazing, right? took the ministers to strike the dynasty and petitioned at the gate of the palace, but what was the result? Didn't he be arrested by the emperor and directly sent to prison? The ministers who followed Yang Tinghe were killed by the court staff on the spot, and it was not that they failed to change the emperor's mind.
He is about to retire, and if he supports the emperor this time, he may be able to end up with a good ending.
Shi Fenglai is not a loyal person, and his desire for power is greater than that of others, not to mention that he has the idea of retreating now, and is ready to go back to live in the old age, wanting to be protected in the evening, not making some trouble.
Thinking of this, Shi Fenglai stood up directly: "The minister is willing to take the lead in paying grain, for the emperor, for the Ming Dynasty, do his best!" β
As soon as he saw Shi Fenglai stand up, Zhang Ruitu, the follower behind him, also hurriedly stood up: "The minister reconsiders!" β
The two cabinet scholars defected, and Emperor Chongzhen set his eyes on Huang Liji, and suddenly Huang Liji, who was standing in the front row, was like a man's back, although he was unwilling in his heart, but now he was opposing, that is, the immaturity of the political mountain.
"Reconsideration!" Huang Liji had no choice but to take a step forward, bow down and say.
Huang Liji's words were regarded as toppling the first domino, and the sound of reconsideration resounded throughout the hall for a while.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, and sighed in his heart, this first game was finally won. At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen is not naΓ―ve to think that the matter will be done here, so he can sit back and relax, and the ministers really have no objection.
Although there is no opposition from the emperor's relatives and nobles, it is because there are two imperial uncles and Dingguo Gong who are pressing, and it is difficult to say whether there will be small movements behind the scenes.
As for the ministers, there must be a move, and the forces behind them will not allow them to surrender like this.
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and I still need to work hard!" Emperor Chongzhen cheered himself up in his heart, and at the same time, he also needed to keep a clear head and not be overturned on the table.
"Since the Aiqing are like this, I am deeply gratified in my heart!" Emperor Chongzhen's gaze swept over the ministers: "You Aiqing's heart to serve the country, I believe that Qingshi will definitely remember everyone, okay, do you Aiqing have anything else to do?"
Everyone looked at each other, and they still needed to start something else, and this matter broke through the sky.
Emperor Chongzhen saw that no one spoke, and then said, "Since this is the case, then retreat from the dynasty!" Saying that, Emperor Chongzhen stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked back, his steps were much faster, much faster than when he came.
