There is no need for the little emperor to issue an expulsion order, and these ministers will automatically retire consciously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Today's ups and downs are too fast, almost all of these courtiers are over forty years old, if there is any more stimulation, I can't say what kind of myocardial infarction, and then Lu Chengqi has another job - give them a name.

Besides, whitewashing the peace is a necessary lesson for a qualified politician, even if the situation is bad, it is only a "local area", and most of it is still good. It's better to have more than one thing, and what if you don't do your own thing, interfere too much and implicate yourself?

After the ministers left the vertical arch hall, a cold wind blew, and the ministers couldn't help but cover their clothes, and some complained: "It's spring, it's still so cold......

"Yes, tomorrow is the second day of February, I don't know if it will pick up?"

"Wouldn't you know if you asked Qin Tianjian?"

"Anyway, Chen Xun, the Qintian Prison Supervisor, has not been here for the past few days, is it a turn off?"

"Who knows......"

"I heard that His Majesty gave him a secret errand, and he went south......"

"To the south? Why go south? ”

"Be quiet! I also said it by hearsay, saying that His Majesty was also worried about Zi Hui, so Chen Xun said that it was the feng shui of the palace, and it was not suitable for Zi Hui. His Majesty believed it, so he asked Chen Xunbu to launch a large feng shui array to reverse the feng shui. Chen Xun said that there was no way to set up a formation inside and outside Chang'an City, so he asked for a holy decree to go south to find the array of eye magic weapons......

"Is it true or false?"

"Didn't you see that Chen Xun is no longer in Chang'an, this matter should be credible, the world will not be empty!"

"That's right...... By the way, Minister Wen, why would Shicai oppose His Majesty's taxation of monks? As far as I know, there are no less than 100,000 hectares of temple property in the world, and if the treasury gets this income, it can also help make up for it, and there is no need to issue any tax coupons......"

Governor Wen Yanbo stopped and said in a low voice: "You old man think, Your Majesty is not a drunkard!" ”

"Is it 'between the mountains and rivers'?" Someone made a joke, at this time, Ouyang Xiu's name had spread all over Dashun, and his fame was very great. This "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion" is also a classic that literati compete to read. There is no way, the imperial examination has changed its previous glamorous voice, emphasizing facts and ignoring literature, and Ouyang Xiu is the first person in the cultural and sports innovation movement. At that time, there was a literary faction "Taixue style", and the leader Liu Ji was a Tai student, whose biggest specialty was that he often played with rare words in ancient books. Ouyang Xiu's ancient writing has always been accessible and easy, and he is most opposed to the style of "Taixue style". When Ouyang Xiu was examining the Ministry of Rites (Provincial Examination) to review the test papers, Ouyang Xiu saw a test paper and wrote at the beginning: "Heaven and earth roll, all things thrive, and saints send hair." The words seem ancient, but in fact they are very awkward, and the meaning is nothing more than to say, heaven and earth are handed over, all things are produced, and then the saint comes out. Ouyang Xiu followed his rhyme, and continued wittily and sharply: "Xiucai (pronounced the same as "spicy", meaning perverse), the trial officer brushes!" "It means that this talent is not good at learning, and the examiner will not admit it!

Later, Ouyang Xiu was hated by Yang Taishi because of the impeachment of Yang Taishi, and he saw that the government was dark, and he had no intention of being an official. At that time, it was not "Lu Chengqi" who was in power, and Taishi Yang couldn't wait for him to leave, so he immediately let him go. Ouyang Xiu, who returned to his hometown, began a life of "farming and reading", Lu Chengqi admired his name, and he resigned several times in a row, saying that his heart was not in the court.

The little emperor is so respected, so why not? So everyone began to practice "European style" and no longer made some exaggerated styles. If there is something good at the top, it must be invested at the bottom, and Lu Chengqi is also happy to see that the style of writing converges with future generations, and no longer emphasizes anything. The acquiescence of the little emperor made Ouyang Xiu's fame even greater, although he was in a remote village, some people came to seek advice. And some people with ulterior motives asked for advice once or twice, and then they claimed to be Ouyang Xiu's disciples. After Ouyang Xiu knew, he said: "No one knows about the poor in the downtown area, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains!" "To satirize these people.

These anecdotes were most popular with the literati, and the tabloids, in order to cater to the needs of the literati, were also willing to make up some stories, and no one knew whether they were true or false, after all, there was no slander to be said at this time.

Wen Yanbo has a wide range of knowledge, and naturally knows "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion", so he sighed and said: "Jiang Gechen, it's not the old man who opposes it, but His Majesty is playing a big game of chess!" ”

This Jiang Gechen is one of the twelve ministers of the cabinet Jiang Ying, who was originally unknown, but because of his integrity and not pedantic, he was favored by Lu Chengqi and soared into the sky and became one of the twelve ministers. Although he is very executive, his sensitivity to political affairs is still much worse than these old fritters: "I want to hear about it!" ”

Wen Yanbo said in a low voice: "Think about it, monks and Taoists don't have to pay taxes, but they can hire tenants, so who is most similar to monks and Taoists?" ”

"What does Wen Xianggong mean that His Majesty is going to tax everything?"

Jiang Ying hadn't realized anything yet, and some ministers who had seen the opportunity quickly had already "learned the heavenly opportunity", and almost screamed out loud.

"Shhhh

rashly broke the little emperor's plan, can the little emperor still give you a good look? The biggest possibility is to pretend to be public and private, find a reason, and transfer you out of Chang'an. When the time comes, you will be far away from the center, and as long as the little emperor reigns for a day, you will not be able to come back. No matter how this account is calculated, it is not cost-effective, although Chang'an is expensive and there are many people, but at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is the most desirable place to be an official!

Wen Yanbo sighed and said: "Take a peek and see the whole leopard, Your Majesty wants to tax the whole people, and it is already known to the world. You may not know that just for the monthly temple fair, the imperial court will lose tens of thousands of commercial taxes, and this is just a temple fair. Those monks, who can be richer than those monks who take the stalls of the temple fair to buy and sell, and do not have to pay taxes? The Buddha said that people have five poisons: greed, anger, ignorance, slowness, and doubt. After greed, retribution comes. These monks chant scriptures every day, but they don't understand this truth, how about Nai? ”

"Then why are we implicated?" Someone asked, puzzled.

Before Wen Yanbo could speak, a voice sounded behind him: "Obviously, like these monks and Taoists, some officials indulge their families in farming, and put their fields and shops under their names to avoid taxes. Although this is a normal human condition, the tax revenue of the imperial court has been greatly reduced. His Majesty was worried that if this trend prevailed, the richer the officials and the people, the poorer the court. Once the imperial court can't pay the military salary, with Dashun's current situation, how can it resist the Liao State in the north and reach Jiaozhi in the south? ”

"But ......isn't there a tariff?"

The man saw that it was Xu Chongguang, the head of the cabinet, who spoke, and his voice of retort was much quieter. In fact, among the ministers present, who in the family did not do this? Everyone has done it, and if you don't do it, you will suffer. With the greedy and cheap nature of the Han people, it is strange not to sharpen their heads and exploit loopholes! (To be continued.) )
