Chapter 173: Planning
Looking at Sun Chengzong, who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Yaoqi slowly walked to his side and gently helped him up. Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Sir, do you know the consequences of doing this? You've offended too much, I'm afraid it's hard to end well! ”
Bowing to Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no other pursuit in this life, just hope that one day he can see the Ming Zhongxing, if he can really see the minister, he will die without regrets." But Your Majesty, if there is really that death, I hope that Your Majesty can leave a queen for the Sun family, and the minister can't be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors! ”
Seeing the sincerity on Sun Chengzong's face, Emperor Yaoqi suddenly felt that something was blocking his throat, and his eyes were a little swollen. Turning around slightly, he walked slowly onto the dragon book case, although the distance was very close, but Emperor Yaoqi walked very slowly. It seems that every step is very hard, and every step is very firm.
Gently lifted the dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair with a calm face, Emperor Yaoqi's entire temperament suddenly changed.
Sun Chengzong, who was standing below, naturally felt it, but he didn't understand why this was the case, as if in an instant, Emperor Yaoqi became calm. In Emperor Yaoqi's body, there are more things, and there seems to be something less.
Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi said with a serious expression: "Aiqing, as a courtier, is pious for the country, and I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister understands His Majesty's intentions, but there must be room for doing things, and the minister is Your Majesty's leeway. In the event of any conflict in the future, His Majesty will have room for maneuver and will not compromise His Majesty's statement. In the future, once there is a death, the emperor will kill the ministers and calm the anger. If the minister does it, then His Majesty will naturally be wise and wise! Bowing to Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong continued.
Shaking his head slightly, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Sir, you are my teacher, although you have not handed me anything. But it's not the teacher's fault, it's the student's fault, Bi Jing always makes you work too hard. But now that I have time, I will ask my husband a question. ”
Slightly stunned, Sun Chengzong didn't expect Emperor Yaoqi to say this, and couldn't help but say respectfully: "Your Majesty, please speak, the ministers know everything, and the words are endless!" ”
Pointing to the chair, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Sir, sit down!" What I want to discuss with Mr. is an entry, and this entry is the mistake of the Han Dynasty! ”
Hearing this name, Sun Chengzong was stunned, this Chao Cuo is a generation of famous ministers, and this person is very famous in history. Glancing at Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong asked with a smile, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants to know about Chao Cuo?" ”
Looking at Sun Chengzong with a smile, Emperor Yaoqi said indifferently: "Although I am a disciple of Mr., I have never listened to Mr. lectures seriously, so Mr. Yao will tell me about it!" ”
Quite moved to glance at Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, the minister naturally has no reason not to agree, so the minister will first talk about Chao Mistake." Chao Cuo was the teacher of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and after Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he became a doctor of imperial history. Chao Cuo was a very talented entry, he summed up the experience of the fall of the Qin Dynasty, advocated reform, and eliminated maladministration. Because the Han Dynasty was threatened by the Xiongnu, Chao Cuo advocated the relocation of the people to the border fortress and establish a long-term and permanent fortress. Stop the raids of the Huns first, and then counterattack! ”
Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong stopped, because Emperor Yaoqi was looking at him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with what the minister said?" ”
Smiling indifferently, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "Sir, do you feel that you are very similar to Chao Cuo?" ”
Listening to Emperor Yaoqi's words, Sun Chengzong was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know what to say!" ”
Laughing softly, Emperor Yaoqi walked down slowly, and said indifferently: "Since Mr. doesn't say it, then I'll talk about it." Chao Cuo is indeed a very capable entry, and he also wants to do something for his country very much. It is precisely because of such thoughts and beliefs that Chao Cuo is constantly striving and struggling. ”
Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi said with a smile: "Just like Mr., for his country, for his own ideals, for his own ambitions, he is willing to sacrifice everything." It was because of this motivation and mind that Chao Cuo was working hard, and he found a very serious problem. The Han Dynasty was facing a crisis, a crisis that would cause chaos and the country fall apart. That is the sub-feudal system created by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, which seems to be a family death, but by the time of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, it has become the source of the turmoil. ”
Nodding slowly, Sun Chengzong also said quite approvingly: "It's o!" That's it, every dynasty has its drawbacks! ”
Seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't continue, and Emperor Yaoqi didn't care, he continued: "Chao Cuo thinks so and does this. However, Chao Cuo is good at seeking the country, but he is clumsy in seeking a career. Maybe not, cutting the feudal domain involves too many interests, and he believes that he is for the good of the royal family and his emperor students. In his opinion, as long as his emperor students can believe in themselves and implement the policy of cutting the feudal domain formulated by themselves, then it will definitely work. ”
Slowly shaking his head, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "But Chao Cuo didn't expect that his emperor students were too indecisive and didn't listen to his own words. At the time of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, his most trusted entry turned the butcher's knife at him. When Chao Cuo died again, he probably didn't expect that he would fall back to such a fate. ”
Sighing deeply, Sun Chengzong said in a rather heavy tone: "It's o!" In order to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Chao Cuo was beheaded in the city, but to no avail, his death was not worth it! ”
After taking a deep look at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi said with a serious face: "Mr. is my mistake, and I have the ability to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, but I can't be Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty." This matter cannot be left in front of Mr., once there is something, Mr. will definitely become the target of public criticism. But I'm different, as long as I insist on doing it, even if all the people are against it, as long as it is beneficial to the people of Liaodong, there will be no problem. If those who want to rebel have no foundation, and it is justified for me to rebel. ”
"Your Majesty, the stakes are very high, and the minister thinks that it should be considered in the long run!" Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly and shook his head, originally thinking that he was convincing Emperor Yaoqi, but he didn't expect Emperor Yaoqi to convince himself in turn.
Shaking his head vigorously, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "Sir, there is a saying that when you are interrupted, you will suffer from it. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was because of the continuous interruption, and finally there was the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he thought that he could go back by killing Chao Cuo, but in fact he was wrong. The ** into is unlimited, and now I got this, and I want a bigger one tomorrow. Compromise can only get an inch, I didn't have such qualifications before, but now I have it. ”
Walking slowly to Sun Chengzong's side, Emperor Yaoqi looked at Sun Chengzong expectantly, and said with a serious face: "Sir, I am determined, and I am ready to enter my country." But I need my husband's support, and I need him to provide me with a foundation on which I can make a difference! ”
Seeing that he did not convince Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong's face was full of relief, and his emperor students had grown up. Bowing to Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "Your Majesty said that as long as the minister can do it, he will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire!" ”
Looking at Sun Chengzong's serious appearance, Emperor Yaoqi's heart was certain, but his eyes were full of determination. Glancing at Sun Chengzong deeply, Emperor Yaoqi said solemnly: "Sir, I need an army, an army that is invincible and invincible, like an arm. There are still so many things I want to do, and without such an army, my heart is not steady! ”
Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi said seriously, Sun Chengzong suddenly became serious, and he naturally understood Emperor Yaoqi's words. I can't help but admire Emperor Yaoqi, at a young age, he doesn't drag his work, he doesn't worry about indecision, and he has already begun to look like a Ming Jun! Nodding vigorously, Sun Chengzong said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, the minister is preparing to do this!" The war in Liaodong has stabilized, there are already conditions for training troops, and the minister already has an idea, so he will be ready to do it when he goes back this time. ”
Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then the first place to do experiments is in Liaodong." There are already mature conditions in Liaodong, and it is just right to start from Liaodong! ”
Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi was getting more and more excited, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be a little worried, so he said in a deep voice: "I don't know what Your Majesty's plan is?" ”
Looking at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi said with a smile: "I am going to divide Liaodong separately, establish an independent Liaodong Province, and divide all the administrative and military affairs of Liaodong from the six departments. I don't hand over the affairs of Liaodong to them, but I personally carry out the reform! Re-inventory the entrance to Liaodong, re-measure the land in Liaodong, and crack down on the rich and inferior gentry. The most important point is that I plan to reform the existing tax system, but first try it out in Liaodong! ”
Emperor Yaoqi's last sentence frightened Sun Chengzong, and there was nothing in the previous reforms, because Zhang Juzheng had also done it back then. But this last one is different, Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Yaoqi with some concern, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty wants to do with this tax reform?" ”
Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi could naturally see the worry in his eyes, but since he decided to do it, he would do it to the end! Emperor Yaoqi's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Reduce agricultural taxes, increase commercial taxes, and the gentry pay taxes like the common people."
