Zhu Yunxi's words of nonsense directly blindfolded Kong Ne, and even Lao Zhu lowered his head with embarrassment.

Old Zhu asked himself, he was really not as noble as the eldest grandson said.

Many times, he also severely reprimanded his sons' bad behavior, and even ignored them directly.

But the eldest grandson's words directly raised the vassal king to the height of the security of the court, which made him happy and secretly ashamed.

It seems that in the future, we will have to put some burden on those bastards, so that they can really shoulder the responsibility of protecting their families and defending the country!

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's nonsense, Kong Ne only felt as disgusting as eating a fly feces.

What kind of virtue do they have in the old Zhu family, don't they have a little pressure in their hearts?

Is it true that people in the world are stupid?

Just say that the old emperor sealed out those vassal kings, which one has a good name?

But he can only slander this kind of thing in his heart, and once he says it, he really tears his face.

Actually, his behavior today is a bit excessive.

But he really hopes that the old emperor can get lost and return, and not loot too much in the world, leaving some chance for the families in the world to survive.

After hesitating for a while, Kong Ne bowed to Zhu Yunxi.

"Be taught!"

"Listening to the words of the grandson today, the old minister was suddenly opened, and the old minister was deeply ashamed."

"The old minister has been in the temple for so many years, and he can't understand His Majesty the Emperor's painstaking concern for the country and the people, and he is really ashamed of his trust in His Majesty!"

Lao Zhu heard that Kong Ne was soft, and immediately waved his hand generously.

"Yan Shenggong doesn't have to blame himself too much, we have been misunderstood a lot in this life, and there are not many of you."

"We will act all our lives, and we only seek to be worthy of heaven and earth and the people."

"Your Majesty is humble and open, and he is really a generation of saints through the ages!"

"The old minister just heard what His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince said, since the vassal king has the responsibility of guarding the society, then our family also has the righteousness of defending Huaxia."

"The vassal king guards the country, the family is the minions, and it is beneficial to the country and the people!"

"Please imagine, Your Majesty, is it really good for the dynasty to really destroy the family?"

"The reason why a military general can become a family is because the ability to lead soldiers to fight needs to be passed down from generation to generation."

"It must be as convenient to select famous generals from the agricultural customs that farm the land as it is to choose from among the existing military generals and nobles in the court, right?"

"It's the same with the officials."

"It is far more convenient to select children from among the children of officials to become officials than from among the people, and it is easier to cultivate talents."

"Therefore, the family is not useless for the imperial court. They are the foundation of the imperial court, the inheritance of China, and the continuation of the classics."

"Please be cautious, Your Majesty, leave a way for the family to live, and leave a way for the Chinese civilization!"

Kong Ne knelt heavily when he said this, at his age, this kneeling would be half a year away.

Lao Zhu was also shocked when he heard the kneeling of "bang", and then thought of Kong Ne's words just now, and he also hesitated for a while, thinking about whether to give some privileges to scholars and officials, so that they can continue Huaxia and continue the inheritance?

However, this thought was just a flash, and he was strangled to death by Lao Zhu.

His eldest grandson can't help him figure out how much family wealth Daming has, how can he, who is a grandfather, give it away?

But he really doesn't know how to refute the old Kongtou, if he forcibly uses the identity of the emperor to suppress it, he is afraid that this old thing will laugh at him.

Therefore, Lao Zhu could only set his eyes on the eldest grandson, expecting this grandson to surprise him again.

Zhu Yunxi was already eager to try, but now when he saw Lao Zhu looking at him, he immediately stopped hesitating, and went up with a mouth.

"Yan Shenggong, can the Chinese inheritance that you keep saying can only be continued by squeezing the people and embezzling the imperial court's taxes?"

Hearing this, Kong Ne raised his head tremblingly, and said three sins in his heart.

"Back to the words of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, the gentleman is said to be righteous, the villain is said to be profitable, and the old minister, as a descendant of Confucius, should not speak of profit."

"However, whether it is a military general's hard work or a literati's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which one does not need to cost money?"

"Your Majesty gave a lot of preferential treatment to scholars at the beginning of the founding of the country, isn't it because it takes a lot of time and money to achieve results?"

"Lao Chen is not asking for benefits for his own family, but for the benefits of the world's scholars."

"Scholars were born at the age of six, and at the age of fifteen, they studied with their hair tied up, and participated in the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination along the way."

"Leaving home, not afraid of cold and heat, ten years is like a day, and the hard work is known to the world."

"If they are allowed to pay taxes like ordinary people, then where will they have time to study and study?"

"If there is no one to learn, then who will help Your Majesty govern the country and help Your Majesty to educate the people?"

Lao Zhu felt a little persuaded when he heard this, it was indeed because of these reasons in his early years that he gave more preferential treatment to readers, and even gave them rice and noodles every month, so that they could study with peace of mind.

Zhu Yunxi saw Kong Ne mention the word "money", and also realized that the confrontation between the two was white-hot, but it was also the most difficult contradiction to solve.

If the imperial court wants to collect more taxes, it must either squeeze the people or squeeze the powerful.

He doesn't want to oppress the people, so he can only start from the local tyrants.

"Yan Shenggong's words are also true, it is true that whether you practice martial arts or literature, you need financial support."

"If you can't let hard-working people get rich, can't let hard-working people be motivated, can't let talented people realize their ambitions, can't let gifted people study, it can only prove that there is a problem with this court itself."

"What I insist on is to treat all people equally, and to collect taxes on all land, regardless of whether they are soldiers, soldiers, or civilians, etc., which is a great benevolence and righteousness."

"Moreover, the taxes collected are not for my royal expenses, but for the people, and for the people."

"At that time, the imperial court will build schools, so that all the children of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty can afford to read and become the inheritors and disseminators of Chinese culture."

"For those who have excellent academic performance, the imperial court will also give heavy rewards."

"But this matter has nothing to do with the family, I will never let Daming appear a group of parasites that will only lie on the court and suck blood, but will be of no use to the court at all!"

"Whoever pays my taxes is my people."

"Those who will not pay my taxes are not worthy to be my people!"

When Zhu Yunxi came out, not only Kong Ne was stunned, but even Lao Zhu was suppressed.

Lao Zhu looked at the eldest grandson with a smile, and secretly said in his heart, yes, this is more domineering than our emperor!

If you don't want to pay taxes to us, you are not worthy of being our people!

Gee!

Khonne also realized that the new tax system could not be changed.

Whether it is the old emperor or the grandson of the emperor, they are all strong-willed people.

Perhaps, only on the day when the world is in chaos and the people are not happy, can the two of them wake up?

Thinking of this, Conne suddenly felt disheartened.

"Since Your Majesty and the Imperial Grandson have made up their minds, then let's wait and see!"

This time, without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to open up, Lao Zhu hurriedly replied.

"Then we'll see!"

"Zhu Yunxi, you stay and chat with the Holy Father, let's go outside to solve the trouble for you!"

As soon as Lao Zhu's words came out, Kong Ne only felt that his heart was bursting out.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"They are all the reading seeds of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the continuation of the Ming Dynasty's cultural context, Your Majesty must not be moved to kill him!"

When Lao Zhu said these words, he already meant that he had made up his mind, how could others change it?

"Someone!"

"Seal off the Heart Cultivation Palace, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Zhu Yunxi was not happy on the spot when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, today my grandson is the protagonist, how can you throw me here?"

"Take me with you, no matter what happens, I won't change my mind

Target.

Old Zhu Wenyan turned his head and looked at his eldest grandson, and asked Zhu Yunxi a question.

"Let's ask you, what should you do if Qi Tai jumps out against it?"

"If Kong Yanjin jumps out to plead, what should he do?"

"What should you do if your uncle Lan Yu jumps out and cries and asks you to give him some privileges?"

The more Zhu Yunxi thought about it, the more numb his scalp became, these people were his husband, friends, relatives, and the people he cared about the most.

"Grandpa Huang, they probably won't."

When Lao Zhu heard the innocent question of the eldest grandson, he immediately thought of the afternoon when Li Shanchang left the palace.

Once upon a time, he never thought that Li Shanchang would oppose him.

However, when it comes to profits, who can rely on it?

"Child, when you are thinking about your family affection, some people are using your family affection to influence you, tie you up, and even hurt you."

"Your heart is too kind, it's not appropriate to come forward today, let us solve it for you."

After Lao Zhu said this, he resolutely stepped out of the door, no longer paying attention to the stunned eldest grandson.

Outside the Hongwu Gate, tens of thousands of people from all over the country who had entered Beijing, as well as the prisoners who had obtained the qualification to participate in the imperial examination, knelt on the ground neatly.

The leaders of the leader, holding the book of 10,000 words in their hands, knelt straight on the ground, looking at the three big characters on the city gate.

On the left side of the array, the military generals and nobles stood aside to watch the excitement, while the civil officials on the right saluted with solemn expressions, and only a few officials rushed into the crowd to carry out persuasion activities.

But their voices are so small that they can't even suppress the breathing of tens of thousands of people, so how can they have any exhortation effect?

Lao Zhu climbed the city wall, just glanced down, and then withdrew his head with a disgusted face.

"Tsk, there are really a lot of people, and a lot of old coffins are here!"

When Lao Zhu was looking down, the people below were also looking up.

Tang He grabbed a handful of melon seeds, sat in a wheelchair, and led a few military generals and nobles to watch the excitement in the shade of the trees outside the Hongwu Gate.

"Xin Guogong, do you think Your Majesty will back down this time?"

"No!"

"Then what should we do, do we have to pay taxes like civil officials?"

Tang He asked rhetorically when he heard this.

"The imperial court didn't say that the fields given by the emperor need to be taxed, right?"

Fu Youde nodded worriedly.

"I really didn't say it, but whose family lives on the little land given by His Majesty, and whose family doesn't circle hundreds or thousands of hectares of land in the countryside?"

"Otherwise, let alone supporting the children of the clan to practice martial arts, it will be difficult to live decently in the capital!"

Feng Sheng also echoed the trend.

"yes!"

"The past two years have been really difficult, the people below don't dare to give us convenience, we have to pay a lot of taxes every year, and the tenants at the bottom still scold us for peeling our skins."

Tang He smiled confidently when he heard the words.

"Then find a way to expand the fields given by the Goshi?"

"Expand?"

"How can it be expanded, the people of the government are holding account books in their hands to collect taxes, and they can't do more than one acre of land!"

Tang He heard Fu Youde's complaint and pointed to the city gate corridor.

"This is the back door that Your Majesty left for us, as long as you don't go too far and explain the existing land and mansion clearly, Your Majesty will naturally give you an explanation."

"After all, we are different from civilian officials, we have to lead troops to fight for the imperial court, how can Your Majesty let us not have enough to eat?"

"If we don't have enough to eat, where will we have the strength to fight when we go to war?"

Fu Youde and Feng Sheng were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Tang He.

"No wonder it is said that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure."

"Our generals and nobles can avoid this wave, thanks to the maintenance of Tang Laoshuai!"

Tang He smiled indifferently.

"Don't pour me a soup, the old man will give me soup

You won't be able to breastfeed yet!"

"Say hello to the people below, don't get involved in this matter today, if you have something at home, go home quickly, don't even look at the excitement!"

"After a while, the upper position will definitely kill someone!"

"Okay, let's tell someone to pass the word!"

Compared with the calmness and calmness of the military generals, the civilian officials are only calm on the surface.

Liubu Shangshu stood at the front of the crowd, only feeling a thorn in his back.

Today is a test for these people who participated in the examination, and it is not a test for them, the court officials?

If the old emperor really ordered the killing, then did they persuade or not?

If persuaded, die with it. If you don't persuade, wait to be spurned by the world.

Now they only hate their official position for being too high, so high that they can't escape.

Even if they hide at home and pretend to be sick, the world can still scold them to death.

Therefore, they know that there is nothing good today, so they can only bite the bullet.

Compared with the entanglement of several scholars, Kong Gongcao's heart is not entangled, but tormented.

Because his father Kong Ne entered the palace by himself, there is no news until now.

Kong Gongfu was very worried about his father's safety, but he was more worried about the son who was standing beside him than he was worried about his father.

Because once there is a conflict, the people in front of Hongwu Gate will inevitably be dragged in.

"Yan Jin, you have a way in the palace, go and ask someone how your grandfather is, will he be ...... by His Majesty?"

Kong Yanjin didn't know what was going on, but when he heard his father's words, he panicked on the spot.

He knows his father's personality too well, and if something very big hadn't happened, he would never have let himself take the initiative to communicate with the eunuch.

"Wait a minute, the father will come!"

Kong Gongjian looked at his son's back trotting all the way and sighed helplessly.

This is the Kong family's last hole card, and this stupid boy must not be mixed in!

After Kong Gongjian sent his son away, when he looked at the city gate again, there was a little more determination in his eyes.

Kong Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness.

The Day of the Righteous Death is today!
