Chapter 91: The Clash of the Imperial Meeting
"All the princes have read "On the Noble Su Shu", and the content of the reaction is precisely that the rich have a lot of land, and the poor have no place to stand, just ask which family has millions of dollars, and can illegally occupy dozens of hectares of land as a people, and they keep claiming to be the people, such people can be called people, so the small family that cultivates only 100 acres of land is not a pariah? Or is it a dog? ”
Cao Shi almost pointed at Kong Anguo's nose and scolded: "The Kong family is also a wealthy people, and the title is just an official doctor, how many acres of thin land does your Kong family have?" I have heard that your family has dozens of hectares of fertile land in the country of Lu, where does your land come from? Why illegal occupation of land? ”
"You...... You are talking nonsense! Myths confuse the public! When did our family heirloom of poetry and books illegally occupy fertile land, how can you insult me if you are a dignified young man and a noble Jiuqing! Kong An's face was red and his ears were red.
"If I make a mistake, you are welcome to testify, why don't I send someone to ask Uncle Tian, the minister of Lu State, to write a letter to prove it?"
"I won't fall for you, you don't want to frame me!" Kong Anguo retreated in a panic, so that he didn't dare to face it, but the major affairs of the Kong family were not something he could do, even if he knew that there were so many fields in the family, he was helpless, and he was not the eldest son, let alone the head of the family, and it was difficult to say that he would be subject to multiple family laws when he talked nonsense at home.
Kong Anguo was defeated and retreated, and the remaining bureaucrats were suddenly frightened a lot, many people had heard that Cao Shi's eloquence was unhindered, and they did not dare to clash with him lightly, for fear of being embarrassed by being grabbed by pigtails like Kong Anguo, after all, it was just a matter of changing the number, and there was no need to pit yourself into this.
"Shaofu, please pay attention to etiquette when debating in the court."
Taichang Li Pengzu's sallow face is full of sickness, this person is seventy years old and about to die of wood The origin is very ordinary, but Cao Shi has great respect for him, because he knows that Li Pengzu's grandfather Li Cang and grandmother Xin Chai are very famous, and once upon a time he also visited the tomb of a few members of this family in Mawangdui.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Wei Juan said dissatisfiedly: "Shaofu is one of the Nine Qings, how can he attack his colleagues in front of the prince?" In this way, he loses his duty as a minister. ”
"Eh, the prime minister is too worried, I think what Shaofu said is very good! There are so many powerful people who illegally occupy the land, even the Confucian family, who is a heirloom of poetry and books, cannot escape the involvement, and those who regard the laws of the Han family as if they are nothing should be punished as serious crimes. Liu Che's expression of support made the faces of the ministers of the hundred officials change suddenly, and all the bureaucrats who didn't want to meddle just now stood up against it.
There is an invisible gap between the imperial power and the relative power, that is, the Huang Lao faction curbs the inaction of the imperial power, the Son of Heaven is in charge of the sacrifice and leads the world, and the authority of the imperial power is supreme and inviolable, but the emperor cannot use the imperial power to interfere in the government affairs, otherwise the imperial power will expand endlessly, and sooner or later it will become a dilemma for the ministers to be slaves.
Zhi Bu said awe-inspiringly: "Your Highness can't! The tyrants who perverted the law in the counties were punished by the Han law, and His Royal Highness only needed an edict to spread all over the world to act, and the two thousand stone supervisors were severely punished and punished, and within two months, His Highness would be returned to the Qingming Dynasty of Heqing Haiyan, why change the ancestral system in order to cure the lawless? ”
"Shaofu is too young after all, the advice is hasty and has not thought about it carefully, the minister thinks that it is better to press this matter for the time being, and it is the best policy for Shaofu to come up with a charter and then discuss it in the court." Wei Wan's face was gloomy and his face was not very pleasant, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not very friendly to Cao Shi's eyes, and the princes who had a close relationship with Cao Shi in the past bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, for fear of being embarrassed by his gaze.
"The minister also thinks that Shaofu is too impulsive."
"What the prime minister said is reasonable."
"The Imperial Doctor is fair, and the minister seconded it!"
There are many powerful landlords from unknown backgrounds among the hundred officials, and they can't wait to see a complete stalemate between the three princes and the nine kings, Wei Juan and Zhi Budo represent the emperor's henchmen, and Cao Shi represents the meritorious princes who look at each other unpleasantly, and there have been several conflicts in front of them.
Lieutenant Ning Cheng's eyes were red with excitement, like a hungry wolf: "The minister thinks that the prison of the court captain is still pretending to be beheaded, and the lawbreakers try to use the head of the master to test whether the blade of my Han family's axe is sharp or not, then please ask Your Highness to order them to be punished!" ”
Since Zhi was killed, Ning Cheng cowered in the court and did not dare to speak loudly, for fear that his existence would cause the dissatisfaction of the meritorious princes, but today's situation is very different, Cao Shi accidentally stepped into the minefield laid by the Huang Lao School, crossed the psychological bottom line customized by the court, and was equivalent to invisibly destroying the tradition of ruling by inaction.
Cao Shi was shocked to see that he was besieged by a group, and it was his former allies in the trenches who attacked him, as well as his colleagues who often communicated, and the depression and annoyance in his heart can be imagined.
The atmosphere in the hall was sluggish, the prince's face was gloomy as water, and his eyebrows were twisted into a "Sichuan" character, and now everyone in Chang'an City knew the relationship between him and Cao Shi.
Liu Che was originally very happy that his brother-in-law had offended many people again, but the prince didn't like the hundred officials and ministers to slap Cao Shi's face, and then rolled up his sleeves and slapped his own face, the last time the hundred officials and ministers did not give him face The old account has not been calculated, and today these blind bureaucrats came to smash the field again, and Mingli scolded Cao Shi for being young and impulsive and did not consider the consequences, and secretly he was slapping the prince Liu Che in the face, just now he expressed his support for Cao Shi.
This is not called a slap in the face, there is nothing in this world that can be called a slap in the face.
Liu Che squinted his eyes and said murderously: "Shaofu is doing the right thing!" I support the construction of Shaofu, Cao Shi, you can do it boldly, I want to see who wants to make a hindrance. ”
The face of the hundred officials and ministers changed, and they never expected that the prince would choose to directly conflict with the hundred officials and students, and the price of offending Cao Shi alone was acceptable, and it was very uneconomical to anger the prince, but the ministers of the hundred officials and ministers could no longer retreat at this moment, and they knew that they could not do anything.
Prime Minister Wei Juan stood up: "Your Highness is angry, although Shaofu's ideas are good, but many times good intentions may not be able to reap good results, and this matter is worth careful consideration." ”
The prince glared at his teacher, and Wei Juan did not hesitate to reply with a color, he is the one of the hundred officials to maintain the sanctity of the power of the prime minister, even in the face of the son of heaven who personally promoted him, he will never give in, the struggle between the imperial power and the power has continued from the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the present without the slightest stop, and it is the important duty of every prime minister to curb the emperor's indiscriminate interference.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Mingjian, the Lingyi system has been running well for sixty years, and the minister thinks that it is a little hasty to change the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Gao, and Shaofu should have similar ideas." Seeing that the situation is not good, hurry up and dilute the mud, he doesn't want today's court meeting to become a battlefield for the prince and the prime minister.
Zhi Budo glanced at Cao Shi vigorously, suggesting that he is ready for you, you come over and say a few words to quickly choke the bad signs, his hint Cao Shi saw it very clearly, Zhi Bu is undoubtedly a humble gentleman worthy of deep friendship, but it does not mean that he is happy to stand up and admit that he is a coward, how will he manage his subordinates in the future, and how will he face the expectations of the meritorious princes.
Cao Shi chose to ignore his kindness, and said to himself: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please listen to the minister's words, there are two old friends from the time of the ancestors in the minister's family, one is called Yuan Chong, and the other is called Tian Ren, the two were originally officials in the North and the East China Sea respectively, but because the wealthy people in the two places have swarmed up to illegally occupy the land, so that the two thousand stones do not dare to start lightly, everyone is worried that they will become a wicked person like Zhidu, the two of them intended to do something to the rich people but were persuaded by their colleagues, and they resigned and went to live in the minister's mansion if they couldn't stay in the local area, and the two counties of the North and the East China Sea were thousands of miles apart, The circumstances are strikingly similar, and it is conceivable how crazy the wealthy people of the counties in the world are, and if they are not stopped, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
"Shaofu! Could the two you are talking about be Yuan An's nephew and Uncle Tian's son? Wei Juan was surprised.
"I know Yuan Chong! This son is not very old but very smart, not only has resourcefulness, but also has the talent to govern the world, and his achievements will not be worse than Yuan An, how could he resign and not do it? ”
"I have had a few encounters with Tian Ren, this person has been a Lang official for nearly ten years, and he has a great reputation in Lang Weili, many people have seen him and said that Tian Ren can be a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones in the future, but I didn't expect that he was only a small county magistrate in Beidi County."
"Uncle Tian is the minister of state in Lu State, and he has governed Lu State in an orderly manner in just two years, King Lu treats Uncle Tian like a teacher, respectfully and respectfully, and does not dare to have the slightest carelessness, Uncle Tian's sons are all square and benevolent gentlemen, I don't know this Tian Ren, but I think it will not be bad."
The direction of public opinion suddenly changed, and all the officials who wanted to fan the flames died down, Yuan Ang was a very famous figure between the government and the opposition, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang who indirectly led the power to one side, died of depression, and it was the number one political incident in recent years.
Uncle Tian is an old man who is over eighty years old and buried in the loess to the chin, has experienced the Chu-Han War to the founding of the Han Dynasty, has seen Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, served Zhang Ao, and seen the statecraft of Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Chen Ping, and is a witness to the turbulent era at the beginning of the founding of the entire empire.
