As soon as the words fell, a group of imperial historians immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Please think twice, Your Majesty, this example must not be opened!"

Emperor Wanli slapped the table when he heard this, stood up and said loudly, "You say this every day, that can't work! Let you collect taxes but you can't collect them, and I send people to collect taxes and you say no, don't you do things and don't let others do things? What a bastard!"

As soon as Emperor Wanli shouted here, all the ministers immediately knelt down and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is angry!"

But what frightened Emperor Wanli was that a large number of guards and eunuchs in the main hall knelt down together, and only a few people were still standing in place, but they already had a frightened look on their faces!

Emperor Wanli can see clearly that these people are all people who Zhang Jia has just promoted, and the rest of the people are self-explanatory! Seeing this situation, Emperor Wanli couldn't help but sit back on the dragon chair all of a sudden!

At this time, Zhang Juzheng took the lead in getting up and said, "Your Majesty, since Taizu, there has never been a matter of sinners in my court, so I also ask Your Majesty to spare the ministers, so as not to block the way of speech in the imperial court!"

At this time, Zhang Siwei also got up and said, "Your Majesty, you must know that Wuchen and the others don't know the truth of the harmony of yin and yang, they just blindly act brutally, so there is a disaster of Jiang Qian when Wuzong is in power!" Therefore, Your Majesty must not trust the villain, shake the foundation of the country, and hurt the compassion of the two queen mothers!"

Originally, Emperor Wanli wanted to refute, but when he heard the words "two mothers", his eyebrows jumped! He immediately remembered what Liu Haojia had reminded him many times, that is, King Lu had not yet arrived, and he was still lingering in the palace, which was the root of the disaster!

So he relaxed his tone and said, "Everyone, get up first!"

After hearing this, the officials quickly exchanged glances with each other, and they were quite proud in their hearts! I think this time I can probably suppress Wu Ninghou's recital!

However, they suddenly heard a voice from behind the imperial case and said, "Since you have quite a lot of objections to Tianjin's tax collection, you might as well use Tianjin as a pilot!" As the saying goes, crossing the river with stones, you have to try to come in everything! That's why I decided to set up a yamen in the Jinyi Guard, which was dedicated to collecting taxes! With the imperial history of the DPRK and China, this is always okay, right?"

When the ministers were proud, they suddenly heard this sentence, and they were all stunned! But what Emperor Wanli said was very reasonable, but he couldn't refute it for a while, so he had to look at the elders again.

Zhang Juzheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty's golden mouth, if you want to give an order, the ministers will naturally obey it. It's just that the imperial court has laws for everything, how to set up a yamen in the brocade guard to be responsible for taxation? This is something that has never had a precedent in my dynasty, and I ask Your Majesty to retract it!"

The courtiers were about to cooperate with the pressure, but suddenly heard Emperor Wanli quickly say: "Mr. Zhang, I have heard a saying since I was a child, called the shore of the land, is it not the king's land?"

Zhang Juzheng suddenly felt that something was wrong when he heard this! But he didn't know how many times he had said this sentence to Emperor Wanli, and how could he refute it! I could only bow down and say, "This is naturally true!"

Emperor Wanli leaned forward slightly and said loudly, "Then Mr. Zhang, how can the people of this world in this world refuse to pay taxes when they dig in my land, plant mulberry and raise silkworms in my land, take soil and burn porcelain in my land, and use my canal to ship goods from north to south?"

These words are even more asked, and the officials can't say what they are full of! Because of the shore of the land, the phrase "Wang Tu" is also a common phrase for them, which is usually used to fool the emperor, but now it has been asked back, but people can't and dare not refute!

And even Zhang Juzheng couldn't refute for a while, so he couldn't help lowering his head slightly! But Emperor Wanli didn't want to let them go, and he said again, "Mr. Zhang, who built those roads that connected the world?"

Zhang Juzheng hesitated when he heard this, and said, "Naturally, it was built by the imperial court!"

Emperor Wanli continued, "Mr. Zhang, who built the walls of each city?"

Zhang Juzheng could only still say, "Naturally, it was built by the imperial court!"

Emperor Wanli felt that even asking a few words would make everyone including Zhang Juzheng embarrassed, so he had a lot of confidence, so he stood up and said loudly: "The soldiers and horses on the nine sides, the soldiers patrolling the streets, also

Whose men are the servants of the yamen?"

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he knew what Emperor Wanli was going to say, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart! But he could only say, "Naturally, it's from the imperial court!"

Emperor Wanli slapped his face and said, "The road is built by the imperial court, the city wall is also repaired by the imperial court, and the army and errands are also recruited by the imperial court. Only with these can people in the world live in peace, but how can they build roads without money? How to maintain the city walls? And how do you provide for the soldiers and the servants? By the way, I'm afraid that all of you here are also going to come out of the taxes, right? So I collect taxes from the people, and I use them all for the people, what's wrong with me?"

Baiguan was stunned when they heard this, and even Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei were speechless for a while! However, the most important thing for civil officials is to stir up unreasonable points, and when they found that everyone was speechless, some people who were good at quibbling stepped forward one after another and said: "Your Majesty, as the so-called gentleman is righteous, and villain is profitable! Your Majesty's words are not the way of prosperity!"

Emperor Wanli immediately said, "Sage Kong has also been a commissioner, and he also advocates collecting a tax! Now that Wu Ninghou is in charge of the fifteenth tax one, it is loose enough! If you don't understand, go back to study! I can tell you that it's in the Analects of Yan Yuan!"

After this man stepped back in shame, someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if you continue to do this, you are competing with the people for profit, which is inconsistent with Taizu's way of governing the country!"

Emperor Wanli sneered and said, "What is competing with the people? Ordinary people are cultivating or working in the fields, so how can I ever levy taxes on them? I'm going to tax the merchants! You don't often say that businessmen are profitable and unrighteous, but only know how to transfer goods, accumulate money, and get something for nothing! I now collect their taxes, and let them know the plight of the people!"

Seeing that the roots were about to be opened, someone hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Taizu once said that you should be light on the thin endowment, light this is the ancestral system, and you must not change it without permission!"

Emperor Wanli even said loudly: "What ancestral system cannot be changed? Do you want to take the "Great Message" promulgated by your grandfather and compare it with you one by one?"

Without waiting for this person to retreat, someone stepped forward and said, "Throughout the history books, whenever state affairs are manipulated by factory guards, they will inevitably expropriate and extort tyranny, and finally provoke the wrath of heaven and people! This is the way to cause trouble, and your Majesty should think twice!"
