Two months later. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Guang was finally able to enter and leave the East Palace freely.

The leg injury had long been healed, no scars had been left, and he had already suffocated in the East Palace.

Of course, staying in the East Palace all day is not without gain, writing and reading during the day, and the dragon and phoenix are auspicious at night, and life is actually delicious.

During this time, there were no moths in the King of Shu, presumably because he was reined in after being poked in front of Chen Guang, or he was planning some more unbelievable conspiracy.

This Chen Guang had no choice but to come and block the water and soil to cover up the move.

In fact, sometimes Chen Guang feels that being a prince is quite boring, although there is money to spend and a sister to play, but there is nothing else. It's no wonder that those princes in ancient times were either proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, which was really boring. Of course, there are also those who buy officials to prepare for the future, of course, there are few such people, and the end is generally not very good, and there are even fewer who succeed, Chen Guang does not do this kind of thing, and now he is already the crown prince, and he will wait for the emperor to die of old age, and he will not be on the throne?

Although it seems that Chen Ang is still far from death, but this is nothing, it is actually good to be a prince, except for some things that cannot be done - for example, he wants to kill Chen Xiu now to prevent future troubles, but he can't do the same.

On this day, the New Year has passed, it is the time of the court, Chen Guang is now the prince, and he must go to the court every day.

The ministers lined up, and the emperor ascended to the dragon and sits.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I was striking iron in the imperial garden just now, and I followed those masters to pick up a few hammers, and I was sweating, but this plow I want to beat has not even had a shape, and it seems that I will have to continue tomorrow."

Before the ministers started to do something, Chen Ang talked to himself, and everyone was surprised, long live the dignified master to go to strike iron? If this gets out, it will be so sensational.

Chen Ang continued: "Later, the queen saw it and told me that it was time to go to court, and it was almost the same as striking iron. ”

"I think, this beating is like striking iron, the edge is uneven, just knock on the side, the middle is not suitable, then change it. After all, you have to beat all the time. But the plow is still a plow after all, no matter how it is changed, it is still the same plow, which cannot be deviated. ”

When the leader speaks, no matter what he says, he must figure out the deep-seated truth contained in it, Chen Ang said what iron for no reason, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, suddenly gave the association, what is the emperor hinting at today?

Chen Guang was also thinking about what Chen Ang was going to say, but he was not in a hurry, nor did he guess, just stood like that, waiting for Chen Ang's next words.

I didn't think that Chen Ang would have no follow-up after saying this, this is really melancholy, presumably these ministers have even found a routine for slapping sycophants, but Chen Ang didn't say it, and the sycophants couldn't be filmed, so the depression can be imagined.

Then Chen Ang waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's play if you have something." ”

The first person on the lower left said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." ”

"Say."

"Wuyuan County Shou Peng Cheng has a book, please Weichen to present it on his behalf."

According to the rules, it is almost impossible for local officials to go directly to heaven, so once there is something, except for the opportunity to speak in front of the emperor when they go to Beijing to report on their work during the Chinese New Year every year, they can only write it and hand it to these big officials in the capital, asking them to help them report it.

In this way, these officials will inevitably look at these excerpts, and then weigh the pros and cons, it is impossible for all the excerpts to be seen by the emperor, so it is inevitable that the information between the upper and lower levels is not smooth, and the yang is against the yin.

The so-called listening to heaven and responding to the people's feelings, that is what happens in the novel, and it is actually impossible to happen.

For example, the following county order, a county guard, to sue the military department Shangshu for unauthorized troops, this is a big deal, but he can't take the fold himself, he can only ask the officials in the capital to help, and the officials in the capital, the relationship is complicated, if you can't do it, this fold will fall into the hands of the military department Shangshu, so can he send this fold up? Isn't that looking for your own death? Therefore, not only is this kind of excerpt emperor invisible, but the person who hands the excerpt may also invite death.

"Wuyuan County Shou Peng Cheng exposed Gong Changlong, the county commander of Xiaqing County, Wuyuan County, and privately distributed taxes and grain. We will distribute last year's treasury of tax grain to the people. ”

Hearing this news, not only Chen Ang, but also the ministers were in an uproar.

"This Gong Changlong is so bold."

"This Gong Changlong deserves to die."

"Gong Changlong is extremely evil, please ask the emperor to order and take down Gong Changlong."

The ministers spoke one after another, but Chen Guang stood there and did not speak.

Chen Ang's first reaction was naturally not to believe it, he said: "How can there be such a thing, this tax and grain collection belongs to the state, how can this be privately divided?" It's a great sin, doesn't he know it? ”

The minister said: "According to rumors, this Gong Changlong has always done his own thing, he is generous to the country, and he is doing things to sell his reputation and reputation, so that the people who have benefited will naturally preach his name of benevolence and righteousness." ”

"Who doesn't want the name of righteousness? I want it too! But what is the righteousness of the righteousness that he takes the name of righteousness in this way? If this tax and grain cannot be collected, will not the treasury be empty? The treasury is empty, how can this official pay money? And how to solve the army's rations? If everyone follows his example, then won't our great country be hollowed out by them? Although it benefits the people, how can this court work!? The more Chen Ang spoke, the more excited he became, and when he got to the back, he almost slapped the table and roared.

It is indeed a very serious matter that taxes do not come up, and it is no wonder that Chen Ang will be so angry.

"Prince, come on." Chen Ang suddenly named Chen Guang.

Chen Guang was suddenly startled, I stood here to provoke someone to provoke me.

Listening to the discussions of those ministers, Chen Guang thought for a while, and said: "There are reasons for doing evil, and there are reasons for doing good, Gong Changlong is not filling his own pockets, but distributing the amount of taxes to the people, at this time, there must be hidden secrets, the merits of the matter, and the ministers dare not assert it." ”

Well, that's it, what he did I thought was weird, and you want me to comment, ah I'm sorry, I don't know.

The minister said: "Weichen still has a copy here, which is Gong Changlong's justification." ”

Chen Ang said: "What did he say? ”

"Gong Changlong said that he followed Feng Chen's example, and this move was for the emperor."

There was a man named Feng Tan in the state of Qi, who was too poor to support himself, so he asked Meng Yanjun to ask him to be a diner in Meng Yanjun's house. This Meng Weijun is also big-hearted, and asked Feng Tan what kind of talent he would have, and Feng Tan said that he had no talent. That Meng Weijun's family has a big business, and one more person's food can't eat himself, so he took this guy away. Later, Meng Weijun needed to find a person Xue Yi to collect debts, and Feng Zhenmao recommended himself.

Feng Tan drove to Xueyi and sent officials to summon the common people who should repay the debts to check the deed. After checking all the deeds of deeds, Feng Tan pretended to give the debts to the people under the order of Meng Weijun, and then burned those deeds. The common people cheered long live.

Gong Changlong compared himself to Feng Tan and Chen Ang to Meng Weijun. (To be continued.) )
