Chapter 429: Overwhelming Public Opinion
And the original character of this Hubu Shangshu was also relatively weak, he became famous as a young man, and he took exams all the way from a small place, even under the dim control of Murong Si, he was really lucky to be able to do this position of a few rank masters so smoothly in this chaotic capital.
Murong Yu was thinking in his heart, recalling the impression of him in his mind, when he heard a surprised exclamation from this Hubu Shangshu who was not very calm, which immediately attracted the curiosity of others.
The official Shangshu felt that something was wrong with the situation, so he hurriedly went up and took a few looks. I don't know if I can see it completely, the face of the official Shangshu suddenly became very ugly, and then he knelt down with a group of people in red robes behind him.
"Your Majesty, this kind of change in the tax rate is not trivial, but it is a regulation that has been set by the ancestors and ancestors since ancient times, even if you want to change it, you should discuss it with the ministers, why is it so hasty,"
Because he spoke too quickly, the official Shangshu accidentally choked and coughed again and again. "He even cut it off several points alive, and now that the treasury is empty, wouldn't it be even more so that there is no extra money in the court if you do this?"
However, under such high-pressure suppression, it is all the more counterproductive to make those peasants who are burdened with huge debts not even have a little time to breathe.
What's more, if it is maintained to the same extent as before, as well as the method of governance, in the end, most of the money will fall into whose pocket, is it really not clear to Murong Yu that he is looking at him.
Murong Yu's face was as usual, but there were faint signs of anger in his momentum, and Murong Lin was young and vigorous, so he couldn't endure it so easily, so he immediately threw off his official robe and stepped out of the team of hundred officials.
"Weichen seconded," As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall closed their mouths, and even Murong Yu was a little surprised when he sat on a high seat, but then he listened to Murong Lin's words.
"Your Majesty's decision is a great blessing to the world. It's just a few points of tax rate, but for many people, it may be like a life-saving straw, and anyone who denies His Majesty's holy decision, I'm afraid it's a little short-sighted. ”
"Your Royal Highness, what do you mean by that?" The official Shangshu frowned, and even the eyes of many people looking at her were a little unkind.
And Murong Yin, who was also standing on the side in a purple official robe, was happy to see such a situation, and was also a little curious about how he Murong Lin planned to get off this stage.
"I heard that Lord Shangshu is at home in his spare time, and he likes to play a small game with others, but I don't know if it's true or not." Murong Lin did not answer directly, but asked a question about the official book.
The official Shangshu couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't know what Murong Lin meant by saying this, he thought about it carefully, and felt that he should not have violated any law, so he could answer with confidence.
"That's true, but it's just a game for my own family, a small gamble is pleasant, and a big gamble hurts the body, but the official does not dare to touch any gambling, and please ask the prince to investigate."
"I don't plan to use these names to arrange for Lord Shangshu, so you don't have to worry." That's true, after all, not long ago, Feng Xiaoyue openly took many people to bet on herself and open a gambling game in Beijing.
Murong Lin smiled, but he smiled so much that he felt a chill in his heart.
"As far as I know, there are bets and odds in the gambling game, so may I ask Lord Shangshu, do you think the higher the bet, the better, or the higher the odds, the better?"
The official Shangshu was stunned by his question, as if Murong Lin specifically asked him, he had become such a gambler who was good at gambling. Squeezing his eyes, he was a little hesitant and didn't want to answer, but because he was in front of Murong Yu, he had to give a little thin noodles, so the official Shangshu flicked his sleeves slightly.
"Naturally, the lower the bet and the higher the odds, the more rebates you can get."
When the words landed, there was an uproar in the hall, and most of the people were quietly coaxing, which made the face of the official Shangshu hot, as if he was being regarded as the object of play.
"That's right." However, Murong Lin didn't intend to laugh, and turned his back hand slightly sideways, which instead put more and more pressure on the official Shangshu.
"Lord Shangshu also knows that there is nothing in this world that is not earned for nothing, so he has to affirm the existence of bets, and to get more silver taels, and hope that the odds can be increased, how can there be such a good thing in this world that both want the horse to run quickly and want the horse not to eat grass."
As soon as these words came out, the official Shangshu immediately choked on the spot, and Murong Lin also happened to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Tell the peasants to plough. The harvest he received in a year was just that, and he regarded it as a bet, the tax rate was the odds, and the court was the owner. After taking everything they had in their hands, how much more would they have left? ”
"Without the bet, how can this gamble go on?" Murong Lin chuckled, and Murong Yu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it.
Although this statement is vulgar, it is very clear, so that dozens of people in this hall can't even think of a word of rebuttal.
The official Shangshu was depressed in his heart, now it was confirmed, Murong Lin was using himself as a tool for playing, and he deceived himself and cooperated with him to speak.
The turn has fallen to the current situation, how can he calm down, even if it doesn't help, it has to add some blockage to Murong Lin's heart. Murong Yin watched from the side, and deeply felt that the official Shangshu was not a very powerful character, but if he didn't deal with Murong Lin, he could be his help.
"Your Majesty, even so, it is too hasty to make such an easy conclusion. This is a rule set by the emperors, how can it be easily changed? ”
"The rules are all set by people, under the rule of the first emperors, the capital and even the whole world, can it be reduced to such a difficult situation now."
Murong Lin gritted his teeth and insisted on sticking to the end with the official book. The official Shangshu wanted to distinguish a few more words, but he saw Murong Yu on the stage gently raise his hand.
"That's enough." The deep voice was not angry and arrogant, and it was silent in an instant that the sound of a silver needle falling to the ground could be heard.
After a while, just when the official Shangshu thought that Murong Yu had any intention of changing his mind, Murong Yu spoke.
"Murong Lin, what you said is good. I don't get a good word in the eyes of most of you for this decision, but he sees it so clearly. ”
After Murong Yu finished saying this, the official Shangshu snorted softly below: Murong Lin is your son, you naturally speak to your son.
"Do you all think that I really think about it so inconsiderately, this matter has not yet been implemented, and you are holding on to all the unwarranted possibilities, using this as an excuse to prevaricate, what is the use of the country to support you?"
Murong Yu snorted lightly, and all the hundred officials in the huge hall of the court, as well as Murong Lin and the five strokes under the dragon chair, all knelt on the ground.
"Now that I have ascended the throne, I ask you not to mention anything in the future, 'What is this?' My dynasty has always been people-oriented, and the people are light, so if it's so simple, you shouldn't have anything you don't understand,"
"In the future, you must also keep it in mind, if there is anything that I violate this philosophy, you can also directly admonish." Murong Yu said, his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's just that if I find out that anyone has it in mind in the future, don't blame me for being polite." ”
"Murong Lin obeys the order." Murong Yu suddenly changed his words, so that Murong Lin was a little caught off guard for a while, and hurriedly came out to agree.
"The son is here."
"Since you have such an understanding, I will leave this matter to you to deal with, and from today onwards, you will cooperate with the household department to make sure that this decision of mine is implemented everywhere in the world."
In this way, as soon as Murong Yu finished speaking, Murong Lin hurriedly responded happily, originally he thought that after his father became the emperor, he also planned to change his temperament.
But although this thing is different from the way I thought at the beginning, it is still an improvement. Murong Lin rejoiced in his heart: Anyway, his father is still the same as before.
This kind of thinking is not only Murong Lin alone, Murong Yin has been coming from the domain for so long, even if he has not seen any special difference between Murong Yu and Murong Lin and himself, but from today's incident, he can probably be sure that Murong Yu will always be more towards Murong Lin.
In addition to this, other officials have also identified a more important problem.
Since ancient times, Murong Lin has been able to meet any of these conditions, but he has no credit for it. And Murong Yu is now coming up with such a thing, although it is indeed his original plan, it also makes people wonder if he is deliberately giving him a name for making contributions.
If this matter is perfectly resolved, I am afraid that the position of this prince can be determined. After thinking about it a little in his mind, he felt more and more headaches.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Murong Yin, who was standing in front of him on the left, and couldn't help but sneer a little more in his heart. It's ridiculous that even though this son is also Murong Yu's son, and there is not much difference in age from Murong Lin, he doesn't have the same treatment at all.
Looking at the current situation, the second prince is afraid that he still doesn't know how he has been arranged by his father and brother. Thinking of this, Shangshu also had an idea in his mind that had a similar meaning to Murong Yin.
However, no matter how these people planned to protect their interests and status in their hearts, Murong Lin didn't care at all, everything he saw near the outskirts of Beijing last time was enough for him to be shocked.
Now that he had Murong Yu's permission and the help and convenience of the household department, Murong Lin rushed to discuss with the household department as soon as he went to court.
