"Bang bang."

Emperor Chengtian slapped the edge of the bed with all his might, and his eyes were moist with grievance, "How can you say such a thing?" I can't bear to let hundreds of thousands of clan relatives become commoners, and after the new law is abolished, their privileges are still the same! And you, why? Why is it my fault in the end? ”

"How could Your Majesty be wrong?" King Yu raised his head with a resolute attitude, but there was a mockery in his eyes that could not be hidden, "It is the minister who is wrong, and it is the minister who did not advise His Majesty that made His Majesty make the wrong will!" Your Majesty will never be wrong, it is all the fault of the ministers. ”

"Is it funny for you to talk like that? You just said that I drove Chen Qian out of the capital, did he drive him out? What hurt him the most was this sentence, and from beginning to end, he didn't mean to drive Chen Qian away.

King Yu didn't know whether to pity him or spurn him, but he couldn't grasp the point!

After a moment of silence, he said sorry to his father who had been dead for many years in his heart, and repeated the sentence: "Please forgive Your Majesty Scholar Wen, you have already driven away Lord Chen, who asked for the people's life, please don't kill loyal ministers by mistake again, causing the subjects of the world to chill, please consider Your Majesty for the century-old foundation of Daxing!" ”

"When did I say to get rid of Chen Qian?" He got up angrily, but because his body was too weak to support it, he fell on the side of the bed.

Concubine Zhou Xian was so frightened that she burst into tears, she was just an ordinary woman, she was able to marry into the royal family because of her family situation and appearance, and she was lucky to give birth to her eldest son, but she did not have the courage and wisdom to match her identity, "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body." ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't forgive and pardon Scholar Wen today, your brother will not be able to kneel, if you don't kill someone to vent your anger, you will kill your brother!" He buried his head in the ground, extremely resolute.

After the elders of Shuangli Pavilion exchanged ideas with each other, Shi Shiran also entered the palace, and the two of them first glanced at Wen Jiyou, who was calm, and avoided it slightly, this thorn, dare to say anything, it is better not to provoke him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister asks to see you." Li Wenzhi raised his voice.

"Nope!" Emperor Chengtian was angry, and he said without hesitation.

Li Wenzhi and Li Xiang glanced at each other, and Li Xiang raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty, minister, I ask to see you." ”

The two cabinet ministers asked to see each other, and if it had been in the past, he would have no reason to refuse to see him, but today he does not want to see any of them, "No! ”

As the emperor, Emperor Chengtian was willful for the first time, but Shuangli didn't intend to let it go, the two knelt down in front of the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please forgive Scholar Wen!" ”

When Emperor Chengtian heard this, his eyes, which were originally godless because of the lack of safety in the dragon body, suddenly burst out with a strong cold light, "You! You are presumptuous! ”

He looked at the king who was kneeling on the ground strangely, the king didn't look at him, his eyes fell on Concubine Zhou Xian, Concubine Zhou Xian was almost stupid, the whole person was six gods and no owner only knew how to cry, crying made him upset and irritable.

Stumbled up and rushed to the door, Lu Xin wanted to help, but was thrown away, he personally opened the door of the hall, and saw the two elders kneeling at the door at a glance, "You are presumptuous!" ”

He was disheveled and embarrassed at the moment, and he no longer had the manners of a king of a country.

"Your Majesty, if today, the people are poor and rich, and there are many complaints, Daxing can no longer withstand any wind and grass, and please forgive Scholar Wen, don't chill the hearts of the subjects of the world." The two said in unison.

"The people are poor? Complaining? Emperor Chengtian grabbed Li Xiang's clothes, "You make it clear to me!" Isn't the military salary all raised? How can the people be poor and rich, and how can they complain? ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen is the person who the people want, he left the capital, you immediately restored the old system, the people's hearts in the world are fluctuating, turbulent, between the change of the new law and the old law, the merchants, the people, have suffered heavy losses, plus the displaced people are everywhere, the people have long been no longer stable, the shops on the street are closed, scattered, abound."

Li Xiang told Emperor Chengtian all the facts he had concealed before, "Your Majesty, Scholar Wen is just a moment of anger, and his words are indeed inappropriate, but he is loyal to the monarch and the country, if Your Majesty can't listen to the truth and kills him, how should the people of the world say about you?" Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive Scholar Wen. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, loyalty is better than deeds! I also ask Your Majesty to forgive Scholar Wen. Li Wenzhi also kowtowed.

Wen Jiyou, who was calm on the side, opened his eyes and looked at the two who were performing in front of him like a stranger, he had also impeached these two people, and he wished that he would die sooner, but why did he speak for him today?

Are you really that loyal?

In the flash of light, he understood, it turned out that the old school played a trick of beating and raking, putting all the responsibility on Emperor Chengtian, and then standing up to be a good person, I have to say, this trick is ruthless and powerful enough.

"You ...... Why is this happening? Emperor Chengtian was shut up, he sat on the ground, and looked at the cabinet minister he had promoted in confusion, "It was you who reassured me yesterday, and you are the one who complains today, why?" What went wrong? ”

"Your Majesty, have you promised to pardon Scholar Wen?" Li Xiang asked carefully.

"He can't kill him?" Emperor Chengtian pointed at Wen Jiyou, very itchy.

Li Xiang and Li Wenzhi shook their heads at the same time, "You can't kill it, please calm your majesty's anger." ”

"Then lock it up, it's always okay!"

"I can't help it!" The two waved their hands at the same time.

Lu Xin knows Emperor Chengtian best, he is kind-hearted, and when others sell miserably, his sympathy is overflowing, at this time, his eyes moved, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, you should be a scholar of Wen and let off a fart, the top priority is to solve the civil turmoil, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the country can be safe." ”

"Get out!" Emperor Chengtian was so angry that he had to shout at everyone around him.

Li Xiang and Li Wenzhi exchanged glances, and the two got up, and then hugged Wen Jiyou, "The ministers will retire." ”

"Don't touch me." Wen Jiyou immediately resisted, but the two of them looked very old, but their strength was not small, and with Lu Xin's help, he couldn't resist, so he could only shout: "Your Majesty, all the will was made by you, you were sold and counted the money for others, Your Majesty, wake up!" ”

Li Xiang stretched out his hand to hold Wen Jiyou's mouth, "I said Scholar Wen, just stay alive, don't shout, do you think it's easy for us to protect you?" ”

Wen Jiyou continued to resist, but he could only make a whining sound, he was so angry that he saved Li Xiang's snot on his hands, and when he was taken away from Ganquan Palace, a few people let go, and he viciously bit Li Xiang's hands full of blood.

Li Xiang was pained and scolded him angrily: "You belong to a dog? ”

"You are unfaithful and unjust! Vain to be a minister! Wen Jiyou pointed at the noses of the two and scolded, flicked his sleeves and left, not remembering that he was only a Zhengwupin scholar now, and the others were Zhengyipin cabinet ministers.

After his figure disappeared into the palace road, King Yu came out slowly, he flicked the dust that did not exist at the cuffs, and said lightly: "The two pavilions are old. ”

"Where is the prince, it is my honor to do things for the prince, how can it be hard?" The two immediately saluted respectfully, as if they regarded King Yu as their master.

King Yu smiled with satisfaction, "Next, I will also ask the two pavilion elders to contribute, and this king is grateful." ”

"It should be, it should be." The two responded in unison.

Ganquan Palace, Emperor Chengtian looked at the dusty sky, and Wen Jiyou's words reminded him that the will to abolish the new law was made by him, and the will to restore the old system was also made by him, and it was he who agreed to Chen Qian's departure from Beijing.

"Rebels and thieves!" He shouted, "You presumptuous! ”

However, King Yu couldn't hear it, and after he left the palace, he quickly ordered his dead soldiers to admonish Wen Jiyou's death, and Emperor Long Yan was furious and wanted to kill him quickly, and the news that he desperately kept it spread.

Li Xiang and Li Wenzhi immediately summoned their comrades to the palace of the king of Yu to discuss the matter, most of the reformists were deposed and imprisoned, and the entire court was almost in the hands of the old faction, and now the old faction is in the pocket of the king of Yu.

The spacious study room, standing or sitting, was crowded with people, all of whom were from wealthy families, and there was no child from a poor family.

In the past, it was not easy to gather these people, but today, some people can't even squeeze into the study and stand outside the door.

"Everyone." "It was our unanimous wish to abolish the new law and restore the old system. He raised his voice.

Li Xiang and the others nodded, "That's right, indeed." ”

"But everyone has also seen that if the new law is repealed, the world will be in chaos, and you must also understand that if the world is in chaos, it will not do us any good."

Everyone is silent, and they look down on ordinary people from humble backgrounds on weekdays, but in this world, after all, there are more ordinary people, and if the order is really chaotic, they will face a reshuffle.

As we all know, the reshuffle of the world is war, years, or decades of war, many families will be eliminated, and they don't even have the ability to defend it.

Through the shuffle, new magnates are created.

Everyone present, they can't guarantee that their family will be able to safely move to the next stable arrival, so it is necessary to contain the development of the situation before the greater turmoil comes.

As long as the world is not chaotic, what they have is still theirs, and the descendants of this generation who have no future can wait for the next generation, as long as they have resources in their hands, they can afford to wait.

"So, we have to come up with a way to quell the grievances." The voice of the servant king came.

"I don't know what the prince has to do?" Li Xiang asked.

The crowd fell silent and pricked up their ears to listen.

"The new law was formulated by Chen Qian, although it is not good for us, but it is beneficial to the majority of the people, he is very popular among the people, and now he has resigned and left the scene, although it is our victory, but we can't cheer."

"What do you mean?" Li Xiang asked again.

He asked everyone's questions.

"The people's grievances are everywhere, all they want is to be able to live, Chen Qian's proposition is something we can't tolerate, but we each take a step back, and then put the responsibility together, someone stands up and bears the consequences, and the people's grievances will naturally subside."

His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears, and when the words fell, the sound of each other sounded in an instant.

"Lord Wang, how do you take a step back?" Li Xiang said again.

This was also the doubt in everyone's hearts, and the conversation immediately stopped.

"Re-registering the displaced people, the past will not be investigated, and from this year, the breeders will never be taxed, and there is no need to collect what they owe in the past."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and the population suddenly increased by 200 million, even if the breeding people were never increased, the annual tax collected in the future would be more than twice as much as before, and it would have no impact on them.

As for what was owed in the past, in the past, the people hid the population, and if they didn't investigate it thoroughly, they didn't pay it all their lives, and they couldn't do it, and it was a huge project to investigate.

Therefore, no matter how they deal with it, there will be no loss to them.

"From today onwards, we will build shrines for him in various parts of the people, and share his prestige and popular hearts, everyone, do you have any opinions?" He glanced at everyone and asked lightly.

His solution was good, Chen Qian didn't have to go back to the court, but his prestige had to be consumed.

His proposition does not have to be fully implemented, it can be retained without pain, and the common people have not read any books, where do they know the depth?

"We have no objections, we are all sent by the prince." Shuangli led the way.

In a moment, everyone agreed, as long as it didn't interfere with their interests, it didn't matter what policy it was, as for giving Chen Qian a new word, it was just face, they just needed to be inside.

"Okay, please unite as one to tide over the difficulties." King Yu arched his hand, "Please." ”

"Let the prince send you." Everyone responded in unison.

Soon, the news spread quickly, and the voice of the people changed direction, and by the time Wan Chaoyun got the news, it was already half a month later.

Yu Si personally came to report it.

"The owner, now it is rumored outside that His Majesty is a faint monarch, and King Yu is desperately guarding the new law, but he angered His Majesty and was reprimanded, and besides, all parts of the outside are giving Lord Chen new words, all kinds of songs and praises, and the anger of the people seems to have gradually subsided."

Wan Chaoyun frowned deeply when he heard this, "King Yu? ”

"Yes, there is a saying among the people now."

"What?"

"There is Chen Shoufu in the front, and there is Prince Yu in the back, and there is something to find the King of Yu, he is the king of the people themselves, and he thinks about the people. By the way, the imperial court has issued a new decree, starting this month, the breeder Ding will never be taxed, and the past debt will not be blamed, and the displaced people will be able to regain their household registration and land. ”

Wan Chaoyun sneered when he heard this, "What a servant king, never give more?" Suddenly, there are 200 million more people, plus or not, he will not lose, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than before, it is really shrewd. ”

"Also, the responsibility is on Your Majesty's head, and now Your Majesty is a complete faint monarch in the people, people only believe in King Servant, what King Servant said is right, and what King Servant wants to do, they all support it."

"Ignorance." Wan Chaoyun shook his head, "At the beginning, they said that Mr. deliberately cheated them. ”

"Your Majesty is a minority, most of the scholars believe in Lord Chen, and their admiration for him is true, no matter how those people instigate, they can't shake the prestige of the adults in the people, but the matter of King Yu building a shrine for the adults is a bit excessive, while suppressing the claims of the adults, while using his prestige."

"Climb up by stepping on Mr.'s flesh, hum, what about King Gong?" Wan Chaoyun thought of Lin Yanping, she was absolutely loyal to Emperor Chengtian, Emperor Chengtian was pushed to the forefront, she had no reason to care.

"The Western Xinjiang tribes were provoked by leaving the country, and they had plans to break away from Daxing, and they were harassed from time to time by the national railway cavalry, which was completely dragged down, and she was afraid that she could not do anything about the affairs of the capital."

"Mr. once sent a letter to the political envoy Qu Tianbu, which involved the improvement of the human tax, but he didn't hand it over to the capital?"

"Handed it, before it arrived in the capital, it was intercepted by the people of the king of the servant, and the letter has already sunk to the bottom of the river with the person who sent the letter, the owner, the king of the servant is now in power, will it change hands to deal with us?" Yu Si asked worriedly.

Wan Chaoyun leaned back in her chair and fell into deep thought, and after almost a tea time, she spoke up: "Pass the order, the trading house will not participate in any royal fighting, and must be absolutely neutral." ”

She can see that King Yu is the emperor, it is more reliable than Emperor Chengtian being the emperor, she is just a businessman, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, Chen Qian has prestige, and changing the emperor will not have any impact on him, and if King Yu wants to inherit his prestige, he must protect his reputation.

Yu Si's thoughts are the same as hers, no matter who the emperor replaces, he is the Lin family, whether it is Lin San or Lin Si, it has nothing to do with them.

"Yes, my subordinates will give orders." He was glad that Wan Chaoyun had a clear mind.

Lin Jianshen, who was getting closer and closer to Tianmu Mountain, also got the news, he held the information he had just read tightly, his face was like frost, "Speed up the trip, be sure to reach Tianmu Mountain within ten days." ”

Wen Tingjun, who originally returned to Beijing with him, but parted halfway, was leaning on the carriage at the moment, and he was reading a book on the carriage for two hours today, and his eyes were a little tired.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, and under the action of inertia, he threw himself directly onto the opposite car wall.

"Huh." A sharp arrow pierced his entire body from the back, blood staining his shirt red before the pain could spill in.
