Chapter 1485 Build a Beijing Temple under the Throne
The Great Court Meeting is a gathering that gathers people's hearts and demonstrates the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Over the years, there has never been anything wrong at the Great Court Meeting.
But today, a censor gave the emperor eye drops at the court meeting. What a happy day!
But except for the officials from the Northern Xinjiang faction, most of the people present felt uneasy and angry about the emperor's attitude towards slavery. In this era of low productivity, slaves are machines. Without these machines, meat-eaters
What do we have left?
Only power remains.
Fields and slaves are property. A carnivore without property is a fake carnivore, an empty frame, and will fall down at the push of a button.
The emperor wanted to change the slave registration, but no, he had already done so last time. He made more than 100,000 slaves become citizens in one move, which made the meat-eaters in Guanzhong hate him to the bone. Yesterday, the emperor spoke again, continuing his attitude of filial piety to the emperor:
Tang people should not be slaves.
When the emperor shouted these words, he was just the prince. There were two saints sitting above him, so it was not his turn to make the decision. But now his son is the emperor.
This is about digging up our roots!
Yesterday, dignitaries were gathering, clans were gathering, aristocratic families and powerful people were gathering. Even wealthy businessmen were gathering.
Everyone is guessing whether the emperor's words are true or false.
In the end, most people came to the conclusion that this emperor was serious. Therefore, the atmosphere of today's court meeting was a bit strange.
The appearance of Lan Yun immediately released this weirdness. There seemed to be more joy in the palace.
I finally got in tune with today’s atmosphere.
There was a coldness in Liu Qing's eyes, and he looked at Lan Yun as if he were looking at a dead person. The officials of the Northern Xinjiang Department had an air of airiness about them, which was the evaluation of Chang'an officialdom.
They fought against the Tang Dynasty's feuds in the difficult Northern Territory, fought against the horse thieves, and fought against the three major tribes. They acted more straightforwardly and rarely had such tactics. Of course, it's not that they don't know how to do it, it's that they don't have the time to do those things.
Son, they prefer to solve problems straightforwardly.
Luo Cai smiled and searched for Lan Yun's information in his mind. Then, he smiled even more kindly.
There was a rumor among the officials that when Luo Shangshu smiled kindly, someone would be in trouble. Lan Yun felt as if his whole body was wrapped in something, extremely heavy.
But he knew that he had to show a righteous and upright side, otherwise those behind him would not mind throwing him out to the emperor to vent their anger. He raised his head. "I know that I have committed a serious crime, please punish me!"
This is retreat in order to advance.
If the emperor punished him, he would be angry and guilty of being a thief.
Therefore, as the official said, the emperor will not touch him within a year or two.
Lan Yun's eyesight was very good and he inadvertently noticed that the corner of the emperor's mouth was slightly raised, which turned out to be a sign of ridicule. The queen who was wearing a pair of wings snorted coldly and said to the prince: "A bunch of idiots!"
The prince nodded vigorously, "It's time to clean up!"
Han Ji and He Lianrong stood together, and he whispered: "Whose?" He Lianrong shook his head, "It's probably the secret."
King Liang also came. He looked at the emperor and sighed: "It's the first day after taking the throne! It's like this... Oh!" The emperor spoke.
"What you said is very good!"
Lan Yun lowered his head, with a mocking look in his eyes. Is the emperor trying to go downhill?
But your words are so overwhelming that it’s hard to take them back!
"I have been thinking about what your ancestors did thousands of years ago?"
The emperor spoke as if he were talking about family matters, but his disdain and sarcasm made everyone feel it.
"Thousands of years ago, everyone's ancestors were farmers, merchants, or craftsmen. Even the Yang family of Yingchuan, their ancestors were just dung truck pullers thousands of years ago."
Every household dug a latrine. When the latrine was full, it had to be hauled away, otherwise the stench would be overwhelming and there would be no way to relieve it. What was dug out had to be hauled away in a cart and disposed of.
Before the Yingchuan Yang family became famous, their ancestors were pulling dung trucks.
With the rise of the Yang family in Yingchuan, no one dared to speak out about this period of history in person. "Even the Li family, their ancestors also farmed.
Farmer. No one is born noble!"
"Your ancestors also complained and even complained about their own situation. But once they became successful, they suddenly changed from being used by others to servicing others."
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you!"
The emperor's words carried the sound of gold and stone, "In my eyes, everyone has just one identity, a person from the Tang Dynasty!" Haha!
If there could be laughter in the hall, it must be roaring with laughter at this moment. What about you?
Isn’t it the people of the Tang Dynasty you command?
"We are all from the Tang Dynasty, why are some people treated as cows and horses? I will make the decision for these people!" The emperor squinted at everyone.
"Some people say that the people I serve in the palace are also slaves. This is true!"
There was some buzzing noise in the hall.
Is the emperor preparing to slap himself in the face?
This mission has come to a successful end! Lan Yun’s eyes were filled with joy.
"Therefore, just the day before yesterday, I asked the queen to sort out the roster in the palace. At this moment, the palace is selecting, and all the chamberlains and palace servants who are willing to leave the palace and return home can sign up. Each person in the palace will be given five thousand
Money's severance package. At this moment, I think the first group of people are already waiting to leave the palace."
Lan Yun's expression changed drastically.
Many people's expressions changed dramatically, but many people still sneered. But what about the rest?
"I asked Han Ze yesterday if he wanted to leave the palace, and Han Ze said he didn't want to. I was very curious, so I asked him why. Han Ze said that he had been in the palace for half his life, and now he can only serve people but not do anything.
The Queen is afraid that she will starve to death."
"I asked his relatives, and they said they have changed. Even if the relatives are still there, but they have not seen each other for many years, the family relationship has already weakened. Who is willing to support him?" "The Queen suggested that if he does not want to leave the palace, he should stay in the palace.
I will still give them money every month and let them stay in the palace until they grow old!"
Lan Yun's cheeks were trembling.
"Today is the first day of the first year of Yongde, a good day for everything to be renewed. I have sent people to spread the word. From today on, the people in the palace are no longer slaves, but attendants!"
Lan Yun raised his head, his back wet with sweat. Wrong!
Everyone was wrong! They had the wrong emperor!
No one wants to point a knife at themselves, but the emperor cut himself without hesitation. Attendants are not slaves!
But the attendants recruited!
The attendant is a free citizen according to his household registration!
Strictly speaking, they could come and go freely. The emperor took the lead and cut himself off.
Who will he swing his knife at next?
Lan Yun seemed to see the knife hanging on the heads of the meat eaters, and everyone was trembling. The emperor's voice was still echoing.
"Those who are unwilling to leave the palace will be provided for in the palace. After this group of internal servants, the palace will no longer accept eunuchs. This order starts from today!" "Your Majesty!" An old minister was stunned, "Eunuchs have been here for more than two thousand years and cannot
Cut it off! Otherwise, what about the harem?"
"The so-called eunuchs are just a deformed system created by men for their own selfish desires. They are not only worried about being judged by others, but also want to enjoy the pleasure brought by the grand palaces and enjoy the humiliation of the masters who are served by countless people.
How can there be so many good things in the world?"
The emperor said: "This group of internal servants can no longer work. The harem has shrunk and is dominated by recruited maids. As for the male servants, they are outside. The monthly salary is given by the royal family and has nothing to do with the court. The two parties signed a contract, and the harem's
How many years is the minimum and how many years is the maximum. How many vacations are there each year?
A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead onto the upper of his shoes. Lan Yun turned away and found the official.
At this moment, the official looked pale.
This change is extremely detailed, which shows that it was not thought up overnight.
In other words, before the emperor said that people of the Tang Dynasty should not be slaves, the Reform Palace was already in his plan. The so-called prodigy jumped into the pit dug by the emperor.
The hands they slapped towards the emperor's face were slapped back. The emperor's slap is on the way...
"I was supposed to preside over this matter with the queen after the court meeting and announce it later. But right now, there are people who are eager to embarrass me!" Lan Yun's body
Shocked, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am very public-minded..."
"Gong Ni Niang!"
The emperor used foul language at the court meeting! Where is the censor?
The censors were stunned.
"Since I came to the throne, I have emphasized one thing again and again. Anyone who blocks the memorial from entering the palace is a traitor. Yesterday, the outer court handed over ten memorials to the palace. Han Ze!"
"Your Majesty!" Han Ze stepped forward.
"Is there any memorial from Lan Yun?" "Your Majesty, there is none!"
The emperor looked at Lan Yun and said, "Have you written a memorial?" "Chen... Chen..."
"The passage to the palace is clear, but you didn't go to the memorial. You waited until today to tell me about this matter at the court meeting. What do you want?"
·
"What you want is the promises of those people behind you! What you want is glory and wealth!" The emperor said coldly.
"Your Majesty, it is the duty of the censor to give advice and advice!" Lan Yun argued, "I think it would be better to give advice in person!"
"You can fool the emperor who is as long as the hands of the women in the deep palace." The emperor pointed at the powerful people, "There must be many people here who hate me to the core! But who dares to trouble me today? They don't
Dare, a group of old foxes dare not offend me today. But you, a censor, want to embarrass me in front of the world! Who gave you the courage? Come on!"
"Your Majesty, the censor cannot be punished for his comments. This is the ancestral rule!" Someone came out to dissuade him. "Yes!"
"If you deal with Lan Yun, you will block the way of speech."
More than ten people defended Lan Yun.
"Is he a fool?" asked the emperor.
Of course not, otherwise the person who demoted him would be derelict in his duties.
"Since I came to the throne, I have received thirty-five memorials from the imperial censor, and not one of them belongs to him."
"Some censor suggested that the pseudo-emperor and his son should be spared when the time comes, but the censor is still alive and kicking..." The pseudo-emperor and his son were the emperor's mortal enemies, and no one dared to criticize him when he punished the censor.
A censor raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty is so magnanimous that I have become more and more bold. Your Majesty, I will still have some ammunition after the meeting." "Just hand it over!"
The emperor's eyes turned, "I can accommodate your public-spirited advice, even if it's a little stupid." The censor blushed.
"People with ulterior motives also want to use some ancestral rules to bind my hands and feet. Come on." "Your Majesty!" Wang Laoer was not there, and Niao Da came forward with a group of guards.
The emperor pointed at Lan Yun.
"Take it and order Marble to interrogate!"
"Your Majesty..." Lan Yun was dragged out backwards. He looked at the officials, who lowered their heads. He looked at the dignitaries, who lowered their heads...
"Who wants to intercede for him?" The emperor stood up and asked. The murderous intent came vigorously. No one said a word.
"Your Majesty, today is the first day of the year, let's be... peaceful!" Someone advised from another angle.
"I started from Northern Xinjiang, and there were countless corpses at my feet. When I arrived in Chang'an, my horizontal sword was not rusty. Anyone who wants to test my bottom line, just come. I also want to build a palace under the throne!"
