"What is he doing here?"

Emperor Zhou and Wei Dongzheng glanced at each other, and they could see surprise in each other's eyes.

"Accurate!"

Emperor Zhou said coldly.

Xie Qian lifted the curtain and walked into the Qianqing Palace, and the moment he saw Wei Dongzheng, his eyes showed surprise.

Then he seemed to think of something, his brows furrowed tightly, and he was silent.

Emperor Zhou looked at Xie Qian and took the initiative to ask, "Elder Xie Ge is here, what's the matter?" ”

Xie Qian said slowly: "The minister originally wanted to ask whether the new policy written in Jiangyue's tabloid was true, but now it seems that there is no need to ask. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wei Dongzheng on the side, his expression slightly complicated.

There is no beginning or end to the sentence.

Emperor Zhou and Wei Dongzheng looked at each other again, and they could both see the blank look in each other's eyes.

"What does Elder Xie Ge mean by this?"

Wei Dongzheng didn't bother to fight with him, and asked bluntly.

Xie Qian said coldly: "What Wei Ge Lao did, I don't know? ”

Wei Dongzheng's brows furrowed, and his tone was also cold.

"Elder Xie Ge made it clear, what did this official do."

Xie Qian squinted at him, his tone cold.

"Isn't it the instruction of Elder Wei Ge to publish the new deal in the Jiangyue tabloid?"

Wei Dongzheng looked dazed and asked, "What is Jiangyue tabloid?" ”

When Xie Qian saw his expression, he chuckled in his heart, his expression became more complicated, and he turned to look at Emperor Zhou on the dragon chair.

Although he and Wei Dongzheng disagreed on many things, they still recognized this person's character.

Since Wei Dongzheng said that he didn't know about Jiang Yue's tabloid, he must not know.

If this is the case, there is only one person left who has the ability to publish the new policy in the Jiangyue tabloid and can do so—the saint!

"Your Majesty wants to implement a new policy, why don't you discuss it with the cabinet?"

Xie Qian's deep eyes looked at Emperor Zhou, his expression was complicated, and he hated iron and steel:

"Your Majesty, do you know what kind of uproar the new deal will cause when it is published in the newspaper, and in less than an hour, more than a dozen nobles have come to the Huagai Hall to question the ministers!"

"The minister doesn't have to think about it to know that tomorrow, the recitals of hundreds of officials and nobles will pour into the palace like a tide, how should Your Majesty deal with it, and how should the minister deal with it?"

It's the same as Wei Dongzheng.

Emperor Zhou looked dazed, and said angrily:

"Are you old and confused? What is the nonsense here? ”

As soon as this remark came out.

It was Xie Qian's turn to be at a loss.

He stood in place, his mind blank, and subconsciously asked:

"Your Majesty doesn't want to implement a new policy?"

Emperor Zhou frowned, and said angrily:

"I see you're a fool! It's been half a year since I implemented the New Deal, and you came to tell me today that I want to implement the New Deal? ”

When Xie Qian heard this, he immediately understood in his heart.

His Majesty did not pretend to be stupid, but really did not know the news of the new deal.

"In that case, where did the news of the New Deal come from?"

Xie Qian's pupils shrank, his mouth opened slightly, and he was speechless for a while.

When Emperor Zhou and Wei Dongzheng saw his expression, how could they not know that the new policy had changed again!

Their hearts jumped, and they could no longer maintain their composure, and said in unison:

"What the hell is going on!"

Xie Qian's expression was complicated, and he took out a folded newspaper from his arms, presented it to Emperor Zhou, and explained:

"Today's latest issue of Jiangyue Tabloid has published the news that His Majesty is going to implement a new policy."

"The title is only eight words."

Speaking of which.

Xie Qian's tone slowed down, and he said word by word:

"Fangtian is taxed evenly, and the land is divided into acres!"

These eight words were like thunder, splitting on the heads of Emperor Zhou and Wei Dongzheng.

The pupils of both of them contracted suddenly, and their mouths opened wide with expressions of disbelief.

"Fangtian is taxed evenly, and the land is apportioned into the mu...... Elder Wei Ge did mention it to me, but only mentioned it. ”

"I didn't plan to do it at all, how could it be published in the newspapers?"

Emperor Zhou changed his previous spirits, and his tone of voice trembled a little.

Fang Tian is evenly taxed, and the land is divided into acres, no one knows better than him what these eight words mean.

This is no longer a tooth extraction from the tiger's mouth.

Instead, the tiger was slaughtered and danced on its carcass.

You don't have to think about it to know.

How would the doctors react when they learned the news?

There is no need for tomorrow, just today, and all kinds of concerts will pour into the Qianqing Palace.

The gentry of the world, a mouthful of foam, can drown him!

Emperor Zhou took the newspaper in his hand and browsed it from top to bottom.

Looking at it, his hands involuntarily began to tremble.

There was a hint of fear on his face.

There was only one thought in my heart.

"It's over! I'm on the fire! ”

Seeing this, Xie Qian's expression became more complicated, and he gave his own suggestions.

"Since the news of the new deal was not released by His Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority now is to clarify the matter in the newspaper.

Inform the people of the world that His Majesty has no idea of dividing the acres into acres, and all this is made up by Jiang Yue's tabloids.

Then send troops to arrest the people behind Jiang Yue's tabloid and behead him! To show determination! ”

Hear this.

Emperor Zhou slowly put down the newspaper in his hand, as if he was lost, and muttered to himself:

"If so, how should the people of the world view me?"

Changing the order is a taboo for the king!

Even if it is not his intention.

But since it is printed in the newspaper, people all over the world will naturally think that this is what he thinks!

Later, it was clarified that it was just a compromise made under pressure from the scholars.

Emperor Zhou's current situation can be summed up in one sentence.

Yellow mud drops the crotch of his pants, which is not a thing.

Xie Qian naturally understands this truth.

He sighed and said leisurely: "The best way for the minister to think of is this." ”

Seeing Emperor Zhou's expression, he became more and more depressed.

Xie Qian hesitated for a moment and comforted:

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, how many people are literate in the dawn?

It's rare to find one out of ten people who can write their own name.

Where can they read the newspaper, it is nothing more than listening to the storyteller in the goulan and the teahouse, and talking about the words in the newspaper.

They don't want to hear about this new deal, and they don't understand it.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Dawn, His Majesty is still the original Majesty, and there has been no change at all. ”

Emperor Zhou still looked worried, and said in a low tone:

"What about me in the eyes of the scholar?"

"Will they believe that I never thought of apportioning the acres from beginning to end?"

When Xie Qian heard this, he fell silent.

He knew it in his heart.

This matter is like a nail, embedded in the hearts of the gentry of the world.

Every time they see His Majesty, they think of ...... Fangtian is taxed evenly, and the land is apportioned into the mu.

After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a gap between the monarch and the minister.

Don't look at the fact that after His Majesty implemented the new policy, the doctor seemed to be in trouble.

But in fact, not touching their land is tantamount to making a small fuss, which is within the scope of the scholars' acceptance.

Once their fields are moved, the situation is different.

The scholars would never tolerate a man who was concerned about their land all day long.

When the time comes, he will definitely use all his strength to contend with His Majesty.

Don't say anything else.

Even Xie Qian, who is the first assistant to the cabinet, first saw the news, and his first reaction was that His Majesty was crazy.

Not to mention someone else.

Seeing that Xie Qian was silent, Emperor Zhou instantly understood what he meant, and his face became even paler.

This time.

Wei Dongzheng, a scholar of Dongge University and a deputy assistant to the cabinet, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty! In fact, in the minister's opinion, this matter may not be an opportunity for you! ”

Emperor Zhou looked at Wei Dongzheng, his eyes were full of confusion, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wei Dongzheng's face showed a look of determination, and he said sonorously:

"The implementation of the new policy is not broken or established, since it has offended the scholars, why not offend to the end!

Although Chen didn't know what Jiang Yue's tabloid was, it must have a great influence if it could cause an uproar in a short period of time.

Your Majesty may wish to use the Jiangyue tabloid to promote the new policy throughout the Great Week!

Raise a group of storytellers who work for His Majesty, go to the countryside and fields, and explain to the people the benefits of the average tax on square fields and the benefits of apportioning the land into the mu!

The words were simple, and told them bluntly that after the implementation of the new policy, they could pay less money!

Your Majesty must know that water can carry boats, and although the power of the scholars is strong, it is not worth mentioning compared to the thousands of ordinary people!

As long as the power of the people of Dawn can be mobilized, the little gentry should not worry! ”

Speaking of this, a light burst out of his eyes, and he continued:

"In addition to this, there is one more thing that Your Majesty must do."

"It is to gather the tiger army stationed in various places to defend the capital, in case some dogs jump off the wall and do rebellion!"

"As long as the new policy is stabilized for a few months, the new policy can be implemented, and no matter how angry the scholars are, they can only do something behind their backs......

The words are not finished yet.

Xie Qian on the side couldn't listen to it anymore.

He stretched out his hand to Wei Dongzheng with an angry expression and asked:

"Wei Dongzheng! Do you want Your Majesty to make a complete break with the gentry of the world? ”

Wei Dongzheng looked at Xie Qian and asked rhetorically, "Why not?" ”

Xie Qian was so angry by this sentence that his body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Taizong Ancestor Xun, the scholar and the Son of Heaven rule the world together, you say so, after you die, what kind of face do you have to face the ancestors of the Great Zhou?" ”

Wei Dongzheng sneered, and said lightly:

"A clear conscience alone!"

"You!"

Xie Qian's cheeks trembled slightly with resentment.

He gritted his teeth and said: "You are also a scholar, or a deputy assistant to the cabinet, if you want to implement the new policy, you should be a pioneer!" ”

Hear this.

Wei Dongzheng's eyes showed a look of determination, and he said slowly:

"That makes sense!"

"The Great Zhou changed the law, starting from my Wei Eastern Expedition!"

"My Wei family's ancestors have 27,000 acres of land, all of which can be classified as first-class fertile land, and more fields can be paid!"

"If Elder Xie Ge doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the official's hometown and clear it again!"

These words were sonorous and powerful.

For a while, Xie Qian didn't know how to deal with it.

This time.

Emperor Zhou, who was in a heavy mood, slowly spoke: "Okay, one of you two is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the other is the second assistant of the cabinet. ”

Wei Dongzheng turned his head to look at Emperor Zhou, bowed deeply, and said loudly:

"The minister implores His Majesty to adopt the minister's suggestion and recruit the Tiger Ben army into Beijing! Implement the New Deal! ”

Xie Qian followed closely and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, it will definitely cause the world to shake and shake the country!"

"Wei Dongzheng bewitched the people and talked nonsense, and the minister implored His Majesty to expel this person from the cabinet and put him in prison!"

Before that.

Although the two have different opinions on many issues, they can often reach an agreement after coordination.

Overall get along well.

After this.

The two broke completely and went to two completely different paths.

It's in the middle of these two paths.

Which one will Emperor Zhou choose.

Minutes and seconds passed.

I don't know how long it took.

Emperor Zhou sighed deeply and spoke again:

"I'm tired, you two should step back first."

Hear this.

Wei Dongzheng's eyes showed disappointment, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Emperor Zhou frowned and said with a cold face:

"I don't want to talk about it today, step down."

Wei Dongzheng had no choice but to salute.

"The minister retired."

After speaking, he turned around and left the Qianqing Palace, not wanting to stay longer for a moment.

Xie Qian's expression was complicated, and there was some inexplicable meaning in his eyes when he looked at Emperor Zhou.

For him.

His Majesty did not immediately express his position, which means that he does have the intention of changing the law.

I didn't do it now, just because my strength was not enough and my position was unstable.

One day, when the wings are full, it may not be.

"Your Majesty, in that case, there are some things that cannot be controlled by the minister......"

Xie Qian sighed in his heart and saluted:

"Retire!"

After speaking, he turned around and left the Qianqing Palace.

After they left.

Zhou Huang sat on the dragon chair, always feeling that his brain was messed up, and he was restless for a while.

He tried to take a deep breath and calm his emotions, but he couldn't.

After half a stick of incense.

At last he could not bear it any longer, stood up, looked at the eunuch beside him, and commanded:

"Prepare, I'm going to the palace garden to relax."

The eunuch hurriedly replied:

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
