It was as if the minister's was a depth charge, dropped into the Taiji Palace.

The ministers suddenly exploded!

This private project collects taxes, and the crime is much more serious than corruption and perversion of the law!

Corruption also depends on the embezzled money and whether the corrupt money is willing to be returned after investigation and punishment, and the punishment of the sculprit is determined.

It can be set up privately, and once the collection of commercial taxes is discovered, it is a felony to cut off the head!

No one expected that Qin Fan would dare to be so bold!

He didn't look at what kind of place this Wannian County was!

This is in Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven!

Wei Zheng's face suddenly showed a regretful expression.

He really didn't know about Qin Fan's private collection of business taxes before.

Qin Fanna is so poor, there is no one to take care of him at home, not to mention, he eats some sweet potatoes grown by himself.

On the other hand, the group of people in front of him who denounced Qin Fan were eating fat and fat, and their faces were full of oil!

Who is not a slave thousands?

The matter of collecting commercial taxes has been hammered, and it is still a well-known minister in the court who speaks, and Wei Zheng knows that it is impossible for the other party to lie.

Therefore, Wei Zheng only had regrets in his heart.

The stinky boy who caused himself to eat a lot of sweet potato puree was about to be beheaded.

In this regard, Wei Zheng was also embarrassed.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked anxious.

No way! Lao Tzu's potatoes haven't been planted yet, so that kid can't just die!

I said that if I planted potatoes, that kid would call me grandpa!

However, such a serious crime was revealed in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and even if he was the prime minister of the dynasty, there was no room for maneuver.

So, the eldest grandson Wuji could only set his eyes on Li Shimin, hoping that His Majesty would have a way to save that kid's life!

Li Shimin really lived up to the expectations of the eldest grandson Wuji, only to see him cough lightly a few times, attracting the attention of the ministers, and then said loudly:

"Here's the thing! A while ago, Fang Xiang proposed to me that my Datang's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are too complicated, and the people are overwhelmed! ”

The ministers set their eyes on Fang Xuanling.

And Fang Xuanling also said cooperatively: "This is indeed the case, a few months ago, the old minister played Your Majesty because of this. ”

What Li Shimin wanted was Fang Xuanling's guarantee, so he continued:

"So I and Fang Xiang combined, and a new tax system was formed."

"But this system is a new system after all, and if it is rashly promoted, it will be the people who will suffer if something goes wrong."

"So let's try it out in Nawannian County! And the results of the implementation also came out: the Qin County Order not only collected all the commercial taxes, but also used this tax to build roads for Wannian County! ”

"I'm so relieved!"

A sentence of great relief perfectly defines this event.

In other words, Li Shimin endorsed Qin Fan's tax collection.

That Qin Fan is ordered to collect taxes!

Look, which of you dares me to cut off Qin Fan's head?

As soon as these words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately reacted.

"Since this matter is approved by His Majesty, then Qin Fan is not guilty!"

"Not only is it not guilty, but it also has great merit!" Wei Zheng took the opportunity to add.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, and the two tacitly agreed.

But at this time, Hou Junji couldn't sit still.

What are you kidding, if you let that Qin Fan be innocent, then wouldn't I, Hou Junji, become a sinner who has repeatedly framed meritorious heroes?

He hurriedly stood up: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, is there a will to instruct the Wannian County Order to collect taxes?" ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart tightened, but there could be no more moths!

Fortunately, Li Shimin was prepared, and he said bluntly: "Because I am worried that the trial will fail, I have only issued a secret decree before, if Aiqing wants to see it, I can also let people present it!" ”

This sentence became the last straw that crushed Hou Junji.

The radiance on his face was drained, as if he was ten years old.

"No...... Not necessarily. ”

Seeing that Hou Junji was dying, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu hurriedly beat the water dog:

"Your Majesty, now that this matter is clear, do you need to give Qin Fan justice, and punish those who spread rumors and slander by the way!"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mengwei, this old boy only looked more pleasing to the eye at this time.

But since Li Mengwei handed all the words to my mouth, I couldn't raise it high and put it down gently.

So, he spoke: "Although the Duke of Lu Guo reported this case out of good intentions, he was deceived and framed by loyal ministers. ”

"Although this was not the intention, it was a bad thing after all. I thought that I was dedicated to the country in Lu Guogong, so I was punished for one year, how about it? ”

Hou Junji was immediately overjoyed, this punishment was too light.

So he said happily: "Minister, no objection! ”

However, Li Shimin put on a thoughtful smile at this time: "Lu Guogong has worked hard for the country these days, and he looks like he has lost a lot of weight. I give you a month's vacation, what do you think? ”

The smile on Hou Junji's face suddenly froze, Your Majesty is not going to court for a month!

He wanted to object, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Li Shimin's threatening smile.

Hou Junji immediately coaxed: "Thank you for Your Majesty's love, I am indeed not very comfortable these days, and I need to go home to recuperate." ”

The ministers of the court knew that this was just an excuse for the two of them, but they still couldn't help but want to laugh.

Your Majesty, find a reason and find something convincing!

This Hou Junji has become a pig, and you actually said that he has lost weight recently!

But in any case, the punishment of Hou Junji can be regarded as implemented.

After dealing with Hou Junji, Li Shimin pointed the finger at the Lu family again.

"Lu Kuan, the Lu family, bewitched his subordinates and reported the wrong case, so that the Duke of Lu Guo and the imperial court were busy for two days, delaying countless state affairs!"

"It was Lu Kuan's unknown knowledge of people that caused such consequences."

"However, in the snow disaster at the beginning of the year, the Lu family spent a lot of effort to relieve the disaster, so this time I will be punished lightly!"

As he spoke, Li Shimin lightly reported a number:

"Then punish the Lu family to hand over 100,000 taels of silver and hand it over to the treasury, so as to redeem the merits!"

"As for the few people who framed the court officials for profit, they can be put in prison and interrogated by Dali Siqing himself!"

Dali Siqing came out: "Minister, leader!" ”

Everyone was stunned.

100,000 taels of silver, this is not a light hair!

You must know that Qin Fan's fortune is only twenty-five taels of silver a year.

In other words, Qin Fan had to work hard for Datang for 4,000 years without eating or drinking, so that he could save enough 100,000 taels of silver by relying on Yulu!

And now, as soon as His Majesty's Chrysostom is opened, 100,000 taels of silver will be re-entered into the treasury!

It's really not so fast to grab money!

Li Shimin rolled his eyes: Can I call this robbery?

It's a clear reward and a punishment!

But after all, the party Lu Kuan was not at the scene, and there was no way to raise an objection.

As for the "dogs" raised by the family, they had already died down as early as when Hou Junji was reprimanded to "go home to recuperate".

They still can't see that His Majesty is determined to give the family a dismount.

At this time, I still looked up, it wasn't looking for death.

In the end, seeing that no one objected, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "As for Qin Fan's reward, I have other plans. ”

Then, he waved his hand and said, "This case is over, retreat!" ”
