Suzong had long been thinking of reforming the land tax, and many important officials in the court could understand this. However, some people could understand it, but pretended to be confused. The outstanding representative of it was the old chief assistant of the Huo family, Huo Junshi. And there was

People can see clearly but act confusedly. This is the representative of Zhang Xin.

Once the examination list was released, Zhang Xin, the chief examiner, was naturally the teacher of many candidates, with guests and disciples at home coming and going.

The literati gathered together, ate some wine, recited poems and wrote a couplets, and they also had a patriotic heart. Naturally, some people would talk about state affairs. Beauties were in their arms and wine were in their hands, and they would talk about state affairs and give guidance to the country.

The life ideals of literati have almost achieved 90%.

When it comes to state affairs, naturally some people mentioned taxes. It is said that Zhang Xin ate some wine at that time and told everyone in a very strong tone that the palace examination must be taxed, so that the disciples can go back and prepare well. There are thorns everywhere, and there are naturally among the disciples.

The man was not convinced and asked a few questions. It is said that Zhang Xin even spoke wildly, saying that what he thought was what the emperor thought, and how could he allow a little Confucian scholar to question him?

Afterwards, Suzong summoned Zhang Xin, and officials from the Ministry of Rites and Imperial College entered the palace to discuss the tax.

If Zhang Xin did not participate in the discussion of the palace examination questions, even if he spoke wildly at the banquet, Suzong would at most remember him, and he would not use it in his mind without authorization.

But Zhang Xin happened to participate in the discussion of the palace examination questions. Suzong recalled every word Zhang Xin said in the palace, which was very good at the crazy words at the banquet. It seemed that Suzong wanted to reform.

In fact, Zhang Xin led him to the result that Zhang Xin wanted.

As an emperor, his self-esteem has always been the strongest. Now that he is clearly led by Zhang Xin, he walked around. How could he be so angry in his heart? After two days, Suzong issued an order

, withdrew the position of the Hanlin Academy, which Zhang Xin valued the most, and ruined his reputation for being noble.

When this happened, everyone in the capital also understood that Zhang Xin was indeed arrogant and had a big taboo in his words. However, how did these words at the banquet reach the emperor? You must know that you can attend the Zhang Xin banquet?

Most of them were his personal friends and close relatives and loyal disciples. Everyone speculated that either Zhang Xin’s friend and disciple betrayed him, or that the people from the Jinyiwei hid in the Zhang mansion on the day of the banquet. Thinking about the Jinyiwei’s style of service,

While everyone was moved, they restrained their children and did not speak nonsense. Some families directly locked up their children at home and were not allowed to study, not to drink, and not to gather.

When everyone found out the truth, Zhang Xin also heard about this. As the person involved in the banquet, Zhang Xin didn't remember at all when he said such arrogant words. He was young

At that time, he was a little crazy, but after entering the Hanlin Academy, he was careful everywhere and never said a word, let alone talk about the emperor.

Suzong was furious and took off several officials from Zhang Xin's sect in one breath. Wang Shuping's disciples naturally suffered great setbacks. Many people worked hard for many years, but they waited for the time to climb up.

After being implicated by Xin, he lost his holy heart and his future was dark. The new tribute scholars who joined Zhang Xin's disciples also suffered great trouble. Before he could enter the court, he remained in the emperor's heart.

If you have a bad impression, you will have no future in the future.

These words were passed on and finally summarized into two sentences. One sentence was that Zhang Xin said that the emperor would pay taxes. The second sentence was that Zhang Xin said that the palace examination would take taxes.

However, Ma Wenyuan had countless ways to press these words on Zhang Xin's head.

After the exam, Zhang Xin held countless banquets at home, and Zhang Xin naturally drank a lot of wine, but what should be said and what should not be said? As a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, Zhang Xin was very happy.

There are some things that Zhang Xin didn't say, but many people think that he said it.

The people from the Jinyiwei did not hear Zhang Xin say these two words in person. However, when the tiger was still napping, Zhang Xin was not the most powerful official, and the Jinyiwei did not stare at him all the time. He didn't hear such two things.

It is normal to say that. Many people know that Zhang Xin’s disciples and students said these two sentences. In this way, these words are not true, but become true.

Zhang Xin couldn't understand this matter, but Ma Wenyuan, the chief of Princess Ruyi's mansion, was very clear about it.

After drinking this time, all these crazy words came from the news. Moreover, Zhang Xin couldn't remember when he said this.

Every time a banquet, Ma Wenyuan would have someone to pass on a message. After listening to Zhang Xin's disciples, they would always discuss one or two things. Taxation matters are things that people who want to enter the officialdom should pay attention to. After discussion, there would always be someone

Quote the remarks of his mentor Zhang Xin to support his views. As for whether these remarks were said by Zhang Xin in person, it is unknown.

These crazy words were naturally not what Zhang Xin said.

After Wang Jinpeng knew about it, he must tell Emperor Suzong. After Emperor Suzong knew about it, he must be furious. How could the emperor's emperor tolerate Zhang Xin's self-righteousness? The conclusion that the Jinyiwei went to openly investigate and secretly was that Zhang Xin must have said these two sentences

Words, because of his disciples, relatives and friends, many people have heard these two sentences.

The Zhang Xin incident has a wide range of impacts. Although no one was imprisoned and no one was killed, the power of Wang Shuping's faction was greatly damaged after this incident.

The more people from Wang Shuping's sect suffer, the more hated Zhang Xin. Apart from the Wang Shuping's men, the most angry person in the capital is the fifth prince Zhou Feng. Among the three princes who fought for the throne, the crown prince is the most legitimate, but

The weakest faction. Although the fifth prince is the youngest, he is the strongest faction.

If the third prince wins over some civil officials, then the fifth prince will win the hearts of many officials of both civil and military sects. His mother, Shufei Shen Wei, is the daughter of Anding Hou and Minister of Revenue Shen Yun. The Shen family originally held Hejian.

Since Shen Yun, the military power in the area has held the finances of the Great Chu Dynasty and is extremely powerful. Shen Yun's wife, Shufei's mother, is Wang Shuping's daughter. Wang's family is in charge, the fifth prince and Wang Shuping

A group of people is already very close.

As soon as Zhang Xin's incident happened this time, the fifth prince suddenly broke his arm, and the hatred in his heart was naturally endless. His grandfather was so smart and his grandmother planned it like this, who would have thought that everything would be ruined.

In the hands of this stupid guy Zhang Xin.
