The first year of manna.

The Great Wei officially issued the order to reward the fields.

A detailed limit was set on the amount of arable land and tenants owned by local officials.

As soon as the decree was issued, it caused an uproar in Luoyang.

For a time, the whole Luoyang was turbulent, and the number of times officials got together suddenly increased.

There were many whispers everywhere, all of which were dissatisfied with the new law.

But strangely, within a few days after the award, no one went to the emperor to express his dissatisfaction.

Not to mention going to the emperor, even the ministers who have publicly criticized the decree can't find a single one.

The big clans all need leaders.

So among the ministers of the Great Wei Dynasty today, who can take the lead and lead many ministers to rebel against the emperor?

Wang Chang?

Hu Zun??

Biqiu Frugal???

Now those powerful factions in the temple are all His Majesty's henchmen, and they are all people who don't care so much about the clan.

In Cao Chao's eyes, these people are dedicated to the country, but in the eyes of those big clans, they are probably fake Qinggao, who only care about themselves and ignore the overall situation, and are selfish villains.

These people are fully in favor of the land appreciation order.

The income of the temple has been decreasing year after year, and the arable land and family property of the officials are increasing day by day, who can stand this?

These officials who do not pay taxes have taken all the cultivated land of their clans under their own names, annexed more and more land, and the local harvest has been bumper year after year, but it has nothing to do with the temple!

What a system this becomes.

That is to say, Cao Chao is generous, if something similar happened in the former Han Dynasty, you just see how those emperors killed them!

If they don't kill them, their heads will not stop when they block the Yellow River.

They probably won't be able to reach the scale they have today and be killed.

Although no one dared to oppose it explicitly, and no one took the lead, there was an unspeakable heaviness in the entire temple.

According to the new law, their surplus arable land needed to be disposed of as soon as possible.

Rather than hand it over to the temple, of course, they still want to spread it out and share it among their relatives.

But once it is distributed, the cultivated land is no longer in their name, and these relatives of theirs will have to pay taxes.

It's no different from those who are lowly.

Cao Chao waited in the Taiji Hall for several days, but he didn't wait for any minister to come to him.

This surprised Cao Chao, and he hurriedly called Zhang Hua and Wei Qian in front of him.

"The new policy has been issued, why haven't the ministers come to thank you until now?"

Zhang Hua and Wei Qian glanced at each other, and Zhang Hua said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think they are immersed in the pleasure of being rewarded, and they forgot to come to thank Your Majesty." ”

"Tomorrow, convene a court meeting!"

The two hurriedly saluted and said yes.

Cao Chao said, "In addition, send someone to let the general come to meet me, and let him come in the carriage that I rewarded him!" ”

The two said yes again.

Hu Zun didn't let Cao Chao wait for a long time, and in less than half an hour, Hu Zun appeared in front of the emperor in a hurry.

Hu Zun's current life is really incomparable to anyone.

I don't have anything else to do on weekdays, I do something I like every day, I go out hunting from time to time, I go back to drink when I'm tired from hunting, and I go to play Kemari with people after drinking.

Everywhere I went, I was a big general.

This made Hu Zun very useful.

Today, when he suddenly learned that the emperor had summoned him, Hu Zun immediately stopped his entertainment and hurried over.

"General!!"

Cao Chao shouted loudly.

Hu Zun likes to hear this.

It can be seen that Hu Zun did come at the fastest speed, and there was a smell of alcohol on his body, but Cao Chao didn't mean to blame him at all, he ordered the rest of the people to leave, let Zhang Hua go and guard the door, and did not allow the rest to approach.

When only the two of them were left, Hu Zun realized something, and he frowned, "Your Majesty, but someone wants to rebel??" ”

Although the general is playing with himself and ignores government affairs, this does not mean that he does not know the order to reward the fields.

After all, he himself is also a member of the "appreciative field".

When the emperor called him over in a hurry, Hu Zun's first thought was that someone rebelled because he was dissatisfied with the order to reward the fields.

Cao Chao shook his head, "General, no thief dares to rebel." ”

"Only this time, in order to reward the officials of the world, I deliberately allowed them to own a lot of arable land, but until now, the attitude of the ministers is very indifferent, and they don't seem to agree very much, general, what do you think is the reason for this?"

Hu Zun was furious, and he scolded: "Your Majesty, these traitors just don't dare to oppose it on the surface, but they don't want to do it in their hearts!" ”

"I'm going to find these people"

Seeing Hu Zun who got up, Cao Chao hurriedly blocked him.

"General, tomorrow there is a court council that I want the general to come forward."

Hu Zun patted his chest with a smile, "This is a trivial matter, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, just leave it to the old man!" ”

The two agreed, and General Hu left the Taiji Palace.

Cao Chao likes General Hu's intelligence very much, who said that this general is a reckless martial artist?

Great Wei has not held a court meeting for a long time, mainly because many government affairs have been discussed directly in Shangshutai, and the three princes and nine secretaries are becoming more and more marginalized, so there is no need to specially convene them to talk about government affairs.

This time, a court meeting was suddenly held, and the ministers could probably guess the reason.

Is this to test everyone's tone at the field viewing order?

The next day's court meeting, the ministers arrived very early, and no one dared to delay.

The general was the first to come here, and he sat in the car, and one minister after another came to see him.

Hu Zun led the ministers into the palace and reached the Taiji Palace.

When Cao Chao came out, they were already sitting in their respective positions in an orderly manner.

The court meeting officially began.

At the beginning, a few Shangshu talked about the achievements and praised the achievements of the temple.

After a few Shangshu heads, Cao Chao suddenly spoke: "Not long ago, I issued an order to reward the fields. ”

The ministers were stunned.

Sure enough, it's because of this thing.

Cao Chao said with a smile: "For this matter, everyone can speak freely, and I definitely don't blame!" ”

"If anyone thinks it's inappropriate, they can also say it and adopt advice, so that they can govern the world well, this truth was taught to me by the prince at the beginning."

Cao Chao looked at the ministers with an expectant face.

The faces of the Manchu courtiers were extremely complicated.

It's not so bullying!!

I didn't want to talk about it anymore, but I ended up bringing us together to talk about it?

What does this mean exactly, Your Majesty?

Do you want us to thank him?

At this moment, Hu Zun immediately opened his mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a court discussion, and it is supposed to discuss major matters, so you can speak freely."

Hearing the words of the two, the ministers did not dare to speak even more.

The emperor's smiling expression was like that of a fisherman sitting by the river.

As for Na Hu Zun, he was like a hound squatting aside.

The court fell into an eerie silence.

Wang Chang and the others took the initiative to break the silence, they got up, thanked the emperor for his kindness, and thanked the emperor for the amount of arable land he had given them.

Cao Chao saw that it was them who got up, and was obviously a little disappointed.

"Is there really no direct minister in the temple? Anyone who thinks this decree is inappropriate can raise it, so why is it silent? ”

At this moment, someone suddenly stood up.

The moment he stood up, the officials around him were stunned.

Whose general is this?!

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Shang Shulang Deng Dun of the Ministry of War.

Chen Qian's face was suddenly extremely difficult to see, and his teeth collided together.

He looked at Cao Chao and said loudly, "Your Majesty! The minister thinks it's inappropriate! ”

Cao Chao looked at him with some surprise.

You really mentioned it?!

Deng Dun looked at the ministers around him and said loudly: "This decree is quite inappropriate, Your Majesty does not know, according to the current limit, it is really difficult to feed the family, if the officials of the temple are going to start starving, how can they govern the world well?" How can you assist the Holy King?! ”

His voice was sonorous and powerful, and he looked at the ministers around him, trying to gain their approval.

But the ministers all lowered their heads at the moment, and none of them paid attention to him.

Just as Dunton was about to say the rest of his reasons, Hu Zun suddenly sneered.

"Thousands of acres of arable land can't feed you?"

"You can see how extravagant you are in your daily life, and you refuse to obey it, is it because your family's arable land exceeds the limit? How did you get all that farmland?! Someone else sent it? You still grabbed it!! ”

Hu Zun walked in the direction of Dunton, and his tone became more and more fierce.

Looking at the general approaching step by step, Dunton was a little afraid, and he hurriedly said, "I'm not so talented."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Zun grabbed his arm, dragged him in front of him, and stared at him with dead eyes.

"I see that you are clearly dissatisfied with Your Majesty! Dislike Your Majesty's bounty! Are you trying to rebel!! ”

"Huh?!"

"Spare your life!!"

"The general spares his life!!"

"Take down this thief for me! Where is the book of the Criminal Department? ”

Wei Shu understood very early that he was going to come to the big job, and he was ready, and as soon as Hu Zun opened his mouth at this moment, he got up to answer.

"Take this traitor down and interrogate him to see if he still has allies!"

Deng Dun was frightened, he hurriedly looked in Chen Qian's direction, "Shangshu!" Help me! Chancery!! Please speak for me!! ”

Hearing this, Chen Qian, who had almost gritted his teeth, felt even more black in front of him, he got up in a panic and almost fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!! The discipline is not strict!! There is such a traitor under his command! Please Your Majesty to punish the sins of your ministers!! ”

Cao Chao has always sat on the top and watched the performance of these ministers.

In front of the emperor with real power, any gate valve, any big clan, are all empty.

After completing the unification and becoming the real master of the world, he controlled the fate of these so-called gate valve clans.

Thank you, Generals.

Today, I know that the emperor is noble!!

ps: It's already been updated with all its might, so it shouldn't be too much to ask for a monthly pass, right?
