Chapter 253: This is a deception that we can't lift the knife
Lan Bin nodded: "Although you didn't go to the book, eldest cousin, there is a chance that your private series will reach the ears of the emperor. Taking the initiative to ask for guilt can also eliminate estrangement."
"If it's a long time, I'm afraid..."
"No! I met with them in private, very secretly..."Chang Mao hesitated.
Lan Bin said meaningfully, "Big cousin, don't forget the brocade guards of the imperial court!"
Although Jinyiwei has always existed, the name Jinyiwei was officially declared to the public in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, that is, in April this year.
At the same time, Jinyiwei also moved from the dark to the light.
Prior to this, Jinyiwei had always appeared as the image of the Gongwei Division and the pro-army Governor's Mansion, and he was clearly the emperor's guard of honor and guard, but in fact, he was responsible for spying on intelligence.
"I know, after I go down tomorrow, I will go to the Qianqing Palace and ask the emperor in person!" Chang Mao naturally knew about the existence of Jin Yiwei, his face changed, and he said seriously.
Lan Bin shook his head and said, "Big cousin, since you are pleading, don't wait for tomorrow, you can enter the palace now to plead!"
Admitting this kind of thing is to hurry up and not late, to plead guilty earlier, and to win a reputation with a good attitude, maybe a bad thing can become a good thing. And the sin is too late, and there are some unpredictable changes.
At that time, the meaning of the petition will change, but the purpose of the petition will not be achieved.
Especially today, the Daming Daily is officially launched, and the commercial and tax dispute in the imperial court is about to reach its peak.
"This... All right! Then I'll go to the palace now!"
After Chang Mao hesitated for a moment, he made up his mind, hurriedly said a few words to Lan Bin, and then turned around and left the Lan Mansion with Chang Sen. …………
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat behind the imperial case, and with an expressionless face, he read through the notes from the six ministries, impeachment of Lan Bin, and impeachment of Daming Daily, and looked up at the prince Zhu Biao who was waiting not far away.
said lightly: "Biao'er, what do you think?"
"Erchen expected that after the release of his cousin's Daming Daily, it would cause a backlash from civil and military officials, but he didn't expect..."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and added, "I didn't expect them to be so impatient and want a child's life."
Zhu Biao didn't speak, and acquiesced.
The last time the court officials were so concerted to impeach one person, it was Lan Bin who knocked the civil officials' sticks and angered the civil officials, which provoked the civil officials to be impeached collectively.
And now Lan Bin and Daming Daily are only openly supporting the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes, but they are jumping up and down one by one as if they copied their homes.
In the song, Lan Bin and Daming Daily were described as female cadres who caused chaos and chaos.
Such a big move not only surprised Zhu Biao, but also made Zhu Biao very dissatisfied, feeling that the civil officials did not tolerate people at all, even a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child.
Moreover, the imperial court does not punish crimes with words, even if the remarks in Daming Daily supporting the imperial court's commercial taxes are not in line with their wishes, it will not put Lan Bin to death!
These civil servants are really too much.
"Now that we can see it, what is written in the Daming Daily is afraid that it will poke into their hearts!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "The more they don't want the court to collect commercial taxes, the more we can't do what they want."
"Not only do we have to levy commercial taxes, but we also have to listen to the tiered tax rates that Lan Bin said!"
"Father, the emperor collects commercial taxes, and the sons have no opinion. But the tiered tax rate that my cousin said is indeed a bit harsh. Can we do what we have agreed upon?" Zhu Biao said busily.
Although he and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with Lan Bin's proposal to reformulate the tiered tax rate, he and Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that Lan Bin's example of the tiered tax rate was too harsh.
To this end, he also convened ministers such as the head of the household department and the head of the household department to adjust the proportion of the tiered tax rate downward according to Lan Bin's suggestion.
For example, Lan Bin's example of fifty taels of silver is limited, less than fifty taels of silver is exempt, higher than fifty taels of silver, less than five hundred taels of silver, thirty taxes one.
After the adjustment, it is limited to 100 taels of silver, less than 100 taels of silver are exempt from tax, and higher than 100 taels of silver
for less than a thousand taels of silver, and thirty taxes for one.
The rest of the tax rates are followed by so on.
In the end, the tiered tax rate ratio agreed upon was much more lenient than the tax ratio suggested by Lan Bin.
It's a pity that the impeachment of those civil officials angered his father, provoked his father to overturn the result of the tiered tax rate negotiated with the courtiers, and prepared to follow the tiered tax rate proposed by Lan Bin.
I don't know if those civil officials will vomit blood in anger when they know such a result.
"That's it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, glanced at Zhu Biao, and said, "Biao'er, you just have too soft a heart. When we first listened to you, we felt that Lan Bin's proposed tiered tax rate ratio was too harsh, so we specially convened the ministers to discuss and reformulate a relaxed commercial tax rate."
"But what the result! Instead of appreciating it, they went around to oppose the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes."
"Now it's because Lan Bin openly supported commercial taxation in Daming Daily, and he was collectively impeached and put people to death."
"See! They're kicking their noses in the face, and they can't lift the knife anymore!"
"Father..."
When Zhu Biao was about to advise, suddenly a eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside, knelt on the ground, couldn't help frowning, and stopped. Look at the book
Zhu Yuanzhang also saw the eunuch and said lightly, "What's the matter?"
"Back to the emperor, Zheng Guogong Changmao asks to see you!" The eunuch said busily.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chang Mao's words, a trace of displeasure almost subconsciously flashed in his eyes, but he did not refuse to see Chang Mao, and said lightly: "Let him come in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The eunuch saluted and withdrew from the palace.
What is the brother-in-law doing when he asks to see his father so late?
Zhu Biao looked at the figure of the eunuch exiting the palace, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, but he did not show it, but waited quietly.
Soon, Chang Mao came to the palace, and the moment he saw Zhu Biao, a flash of joy flashed in his heart, but he immediately glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, stepped forward quickly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The minister Chang Mao has the emperor's grace, and the crime is unforgivable, please ask the emperor to punish the crime!"
