Chapter 1074: Resistance
readx;? Chapter 1074 Resistance
The next day, the morning dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Tang Ling still did not go to the court, and it was Shangguan Xiu who presided over the government.
To the deep surprise of the ministers present, Han Ye, who had been imprisoned in the prison for several days and was about to be beheaded by His Majesty at a later date, actually appeared in the court.
The reason why Han Ye was beheaded this time was because he was disrespectful to His Majesty, and secondly, and most importantly, because he insisted on refusing to save Shangguan Xiu, so he annoyed His Majesty.
This time, Shangguan Xiu had just arrived in Xijing, and he met Han Ye on the first day, and the ministers felt that this time the early dynasty might not be peaceful.
Before the beginning of the early dynasty, Shangguan Xiu's surroundings were surrounded by ministers, greetings, one after another, on the other hand, on Han Ye's side, there was no one within five meters of him, and all the ministers avoided him, as if they would be infected with the plague if they were too close to him.
Of course, this is very understandable, if you want to ask who is the person who is in power in the court now, it is naturally Shangguan Xiu.
He was originally the prince of the Wind Country, a general, who controlled the military power of the whole country, and now the imperial court was forced to move to Xijing, to the point where Shangguan Xiu had the deepest roots, and his position in the court was no longer shakeable.
Han Ye offended Shangguan Xiu, so can he still be pleased? Whoever gets close to him now is deliberately asking for bad luck.
The time of the early dynasty has come, and the female official stands beside the empty dragon chair and sings loudly: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from!"
"The minister has something to do!" Du Xian, the Minister of War, stepped out.
Shangguan Xiu, who was standing with the ministers, glanced back and said, "What did Lord Du do?"
"Wechen followed His Majesty, broke through from Shangjing, traveled thousands of miles, came to Xijing, the road was hard, nine deaths, but the official residence that Wechen got in Xijing turned out to be just a small house with three entrances, which not only did not match Wechen's official position, but also damaged the majesty of His Majesty, and I hope His Royal Highness will see it. ”
Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, now Xijing, the streets and alleys are full of people, and it is already very good to have a three-entry house, but Du Xian is still picking and choosing. At the time of the breakthrough, he said that it was difficult to succeed and advocated peace talks with the rebels. He said: "Lord Du, the current official residence is only a temporary official residence, and when the situation in Xijing is stable, the official residence of all your lords will be rebuilt, so why should Lord Du rush at this time?"
Du Xian Zhengse said: "There are more than 100 members of Weichen's family, domestic servants, domestic slaves, hundreds, so many people, crowded into a small house with three entrances, even if it is a day, Weichen can't bear it." ”
Shangguan Xiu's face sank, and he asked, "Lord Du can't stand the small house of Sanjin, but does Lord Du know that there are still many officials who have no room to live in?"
Du Xian said: "Wei Chen only knows that Gu Qingling, a merchant girl, can actually live in a mansion with seven entrances, while Wei Chen, as a dignified second-class member of the court, can only squeeze into a small mansion with three entrances, isn't this laughed at, the minister of the Wind Country is not as good as a merchant girl!"
Shangguan Xiu's voice rose and said, "Miss Gu is my friend, why is it wrong for me to let her live in the mansion of the Zhenguo Mansion in Xijing? Speaking of which, Lord Du thinks that my house is too big, and Lord Du's house is too small, otherwise, how about we change it?"
His words shocked Du Xian's body, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and said urgently: "Weichen has no such intention!" As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Cai Xiao. The latter didn't even look at him, and said slowly: "Lord Du, at this very moment, you shouldn't worry about it anymore, let's bear with it first!"
"Yes! It's a rude official, no matter how important it is!" The task was completed, Du Xian stood up and retreated to his original position.
Du Xian complained that the house was too small, and the main purpose was to involve Gu Qingling.
Gu Qingling is just the daughter of a merchant, but she was placed in a seven-entry mansion by Shura Hall, which does not match her identity, Shangguan Xiu stood up and said that the mansion was the residence of the Zhenguo Mansion, although Gu Qingling's stay became reasonable, but it gave rise to a more acute question, what did he mean by placing a woman in his own mansion? 【ㄨ】
Shangguan Xiu looked at Cai Xiao, and then at Du Xian, knowing what was going on, he had hacked Cai Kui's lot of silver, Cai Xiao was standing up for his clansmen, and he was not happy to find himself.
He sneered in his heart, disapproving. He asked, "Is there any other adult who has something to do?"
There was silence in the court. Shangguan Xiu asked, "Do you all have nothing to do?"
After a while, the Minister of Finance Gan Ping stepped out of the queue and said, "Your Highness, Weichen has something to do!"
Gan Ping is the newly appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, not very old, in his early thirties, and the reason why he climbed to such a high position at such a young age is because of the sacrifice of his father Gan Lin. Shangguan Xiu was very polite to Gan Ping, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with Lord Gan?"
"The treasury is already empty, and the relocation of the capital has caused serious damage to the treasury, and Weichen thinks that the top priority is to fill the deficit of the treasury!"
Shangguan Xiuda nodded his head and said: "To solve the urgent need, you still need to rely on the generosity of the ministers of the humerus in the court. ”
Poof! Shangguan Xiu's words made the ministers present almost vomit blood, 10 million taels, for Shura Hall, which controls the financial power of Zhenjun, may not be nothing, but he donated so much, how much did he let himself donate?
As soon as his words fell, Cai Xiao came out and said: "His Royal Highness Guogong, what you say is reasonable, the old minister is not talented, and he also donated 10 million taels." "At the time of crisis in the imperial court, the Cai family is also unambiguous, just experienced the rebellion of the rebels, so that the Cai family's industry suffered heavy losses, and donating another 10 million taels will definitely hurt the muscles and bones, but Cai Xiao also understands a truth, as long as the court does not boast, as long as the Cai family's position is stable, 10 million taels, 20 million taels, you can quickly earn it back in the future, saying that it is a donation, in fact, it is making an investment.
Cai Xiao was so generous, which surprised Shangguan Xiu, and it is not difficult to see that the Cai family's strength is strong and the foundation is deep, which can be described as bottomless.
Shangguan Xiu and Cai Xiao each donated 10 million taels, which is equivalent to pushing the ministers into a dead end, and they can only donate huge sums of money, and there is no other way. Even Qiu Yi, who has always been an iron rooster, donated a huge amount of five million taels this time.
The ministers' donations amounted to more than 50 million taels, which seemed like a huge amount, but when they were put into the treasury, it was insignificant.
Gan Ping's principle is that having is better than nothing, and 50 million taels into the treasury is equivalent to giving the treasury a bottom.
He arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, just the donations of the ministers, Wei Chen thinks that it is far from enough, and he should organize nobles and merchants to raise donations to make up for the lack of the treasury!"
No one objected to what he said, and he was always supported by the ministers. I have already donated so much silver, how can I be cheap for those big families outside the court? If I don't let them donate a lot of money, it will be cheaper for them.
After Gan Ping returned to the train satisfied, Shangguan Xiu glanced at the female officer and gave it a look. The female official sang: "If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to retreat from!"
"The ministers have nothing to do!" the ministers said in unison.
Shangguan Xiu glanced around and said, "Since all the adults have nothing to do, then, declare the decree!"
As he spoke, the female officer walked up to the dragon book case and picked up a copy of the holy decree from it. The ministers present were all stunned, they really didn't expect that His Majesty had a holy purpose here.
People fell to their knees and bowed forward. The female official opened the holy decree and chanted loudly, the content of the holy decree first severely criticized Song Sheng, the former minister of internal history, and counted Song Sheng's crimes, and then, in the following content, praised Han Ye's loyalty and ability, and did not talk about the key until the end of the holy decree, promoting Han Ye to take over the post of minister of internal history.
After this decree was read, it was like a bomb thrown into the crowd, and people couldn't react for a while.
They guessed that His Majesty would appoint a new Minister of Internal History in the near future, and in private, they were all guessing which old minister His Majesty would reuse, but people never expected that His Majesty would actually use Han Ye and put the young Han Ye in such an important position as the Minister of Internal History.
The hall was silent for a long time, and the eyes of the ministers looked at Shangguan Xiu in unison, thinking that he would definitely stand up against it, but instead of being annoyed, Shangguan Xiu did not even have the slightest look of surprise on his face, as if he had already known the emperor's decision.
Cai Xiao was the first to stand up and said: "Minister of Internal History, a member of the first rank of the DPRK, at least have the title of third-class duke, I don't know, Lord Han's current title is ......"
"Xia Guan no longer has a title!" Han Ye replied with a wry smile. His title and official position had been swept away by Tang Ling when he was in prison, and now he is, to put it bluntly, a flat-headed commoner.
When Cai Xiao heard this, he was almost angry, a criminal minister who had been stripped of his title actually wanted to be the minister of internal history, which became a joke. He said in a shocking voice: "The law of our country, without the title of duke, you cannot be a first-class member, this holy decree of Your Majesty ......"
"I think this holy decree of Your Majesty is very good!" Shangguan Xiu said suddenly.
Hearing this, the faces of the ministers present changed again, Shangguan Xiu not only did not oppose His Majesty's reuse of Han Ye, but also supported it? Even Han Ye himself was very surprised, and looked at Shangguan Xiu in puzzlement, his heart was really so broad-minded?
"The law is dead, but man is alive, and how can a living man be trapped in the law of death? Xiu thinks that it is imminent to abolish the old law and implement a new law, I wonder what you think?"
"I don't know what His Highness is talking about about the new law......"
"First of all, the first is to break the principle that only nobles can be officials!"
"This ...... Isn't that what the rebels are promoting?"
"The law of the rebels also has its merits!"
"Weichen opposes, please be cautious!" Cai Xiao took the lead in expressing his dissatisfaction, and said loudly with righteous words, and then, almost half of the ministers present stood up to express their opposition.
They didn't intend to stand on Cai Xiao's side and fight against Shangguan Xiu, Shangguan Xiu advocated the implementation of the new law, the first of which was to emulate the rebels, unless the nobles were privileged, which was something they couldn't accept no matter what, and it also touched the core interests of every minister present.
Because of the privileges of the aristocracy, the important official positions in the court of the Fengguo Kingdom come and go, that is, they are the children of the traditional scholar clan, once the new law is implemented, then who will be the high-ranking officials in the court in the future, but it is not necessarily.
