Chapter 535 Drive a long car to break through the shortage of Helan Mountain!
It was dawning and before the morning court was about to come, dozens of officials were waiting under the big tree at the gate of Chongde Hall.
The leaders are Kong Rong and Xun Yu...
The two of them stood dignifiedly, and some officials behind them were already nervously stomping their feet and rubbing their hands.
"What's the matter with this? Well, why did Your Majesty write this article about "abolition of the capitol tax"? It made people panic!"
Kong Rong grinned and complained.
He was the 20th generation grandson of Confucius. He was famous for his "Ran Li" when he was a child. After being defeated by Yuan Tan in the first year of Jian'an, he fled from Qingzhou to Xudu. He was conquered by the court as a general and moved to Shaofu.
He has always attached great importance to etiquette and law, liked to criticize current affairs, and his words were fierce.
Of course, he was also one of the wealthy families. He bought a lot of land in Qingzhou and Xudu, and he had countless tenant farmers under him.
Faced with Kong Rong's doubts, Xun Yu stroked his beard and looked around, as if... the other court officials were similar to Kong Rong, and they all had their eyebrows and whispered, and everyone's face was full of thoughts.
call…
Xun Yu breathed lightly, and was about to speak.
Just then.
A little yellow gate lowered his head and walked quickly to Xun Yu and Kong Rong.
"Your Majesty has an order. Today's morning court is not in Chongde Hall, but in the suburbs of Xudu. Please move there..."
call…
Hearing this, Kong Rong was stunned, and the ministers in the court were also stunned.
Instead, Xun Yu looked calm and gentle.
"The lower officials are obeying the holy order."
As he spoke, Xun Yu was the first to turn around and walk out of the palace, get on his own carriage, and walk to the outskirts of Xudu City under the guidance of the small yellow gate.
The other officials looked at each other, thought of something in their minds, and followed them out with a "alas".
…
The bank of Ying River is not far from the land of Taixue Yongqiu.
The officials were taken to Yifang County Government.
Unlike the tranquility of the past, today's place is full of people.
The officials walked into it, but they saw the emperor Liu Xie sitting on the throne of the government office, and the queen Fu Shou was beside him.
Even Xu Duling Man Chong is there...
Especially Man Chong's sharp eyes and cold eyes are daunting!
"Your Majesty...this..."
Kong Rong immediately stepped forward and saluted quickly. "Your Majesty changed the morning court here, but it was with the 'head' mentioned in the newspaper..."
The word "tax" in the count tax has not been opened yet.
Emperor Liu Xie waved his hand.
"Don't ask for words in the Young Master Kong's house first, maybe listen to me and speak first."
Well...this...
Before Kong Rong could speak again, Liu Xie suddenly stood up and reached out to signal.
"In the court, I heard a sentence 'My minister is the best, the people are the best, the people are the best, the people are the best. This sentence is Yi Yin's way of being a minister. The meaning is that those who are ministers should assist the emperor and help the people.
!”
Speaking of this, Xun Yu added: "The sentence mentioned by Your Majesty is the essence and essence of "Xian You Yi De"! Xun is very comforted by Your Majesty's ability to understand this!"
Xun Yu's voice is mellow and warm, without the slightest dryness of showing off his literary talent!
Liu Xie nodded. "So, I did not do well in the past. I often didn't consider the common people, didn't go to the bottom, and felt the sufferings of the people!"
"That's why I am a county magistrate in this village today, and I will also experience the difficulties of life in the common people. My dear friends may as well accompany me to break the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and lower the upper and
Kong Rong and all the ministers and ministers didn't understand why, and I felt that today... Your Majesty and Xun Lingjun had a sense of harmony.
But everyone didn't know what they were going to do.
"Come, the defendant!"
Emperor Liu Xie slapped the tables in a decent manner. Suddenly, a young couple was led in by the Imperial Guard. Seeing the strange "master" in the government office, he was a little at a loss.
The eunuch Leng Shouguang said, "I won't pay my respects when I see Your Majesty!"
"The grass-roots pay homage to Your Majesty..."
Immediately, the young couple was in panic and knelt down and saluted Liu Xie.
"I am making the decision for the people today. What are the injustices?" Liu Xie waved his hand to signal them to stand up...
Not to mention, he is a county magistrate, really well-known.
"Your Majesty, Cao Min... Cao Min's name is Zhang San, Cao Min's daughter was stolen... Just half a month ago, I don't know who stole it. Cao Min mobilized the neighbors to search, but after searching for it for half a month, there was no trace at all!
”
Zhang San truthfully demonstrated his injustice...
It seems to be a case of stealing young children.
Man Chong narrowed his eyes slightly. As Xu Duling, such cases are common, but... almost all children stealing are boys and few girls. This case is somewhat strange.
Without waiting for the pet to speak...
With a "bang", Emperor Liu Xie slapped the table heavily.
"It's bold and bright, and the world is bright. In the suburbs of the imperial capital, this evil thief who steals girls will appear... It's outrageous!" Liu Xie looked angry...
The court officials beside him looked at each other, and they became more and more confused. What medicine is the emperor selling in this gourd?
More and more people are watching...
The emperor came to the county government to investigate the case in person. This matter is so rare!
Just then.
"Tread..."
Emperor Liu Xie walked to Zhang San.
"Zhang San, let me ask you couple, if you find the evil thief who stole your girl? How do you plan to punish him..."
"I...I will kill him! I will kill him with my own hands!" Zhang San replied immediately.
"Okay!" Liu Xie nodded, and immediately looked at the queen Fushou beside him.
Fu Shou understood and gave a wink at the Imperial Guard...
Immediately, a way was given up from the Imperial Guard, and two Imperial Guards walked into the room with an old man. The old man's mouth was wrapped in coarse cloth, and hesitated for a long time but couldn't speak.
Zhang San turned around, was startled, came back to his senses... and shouted subconsciously.
"Dad...Dad..."
That's right, the old man escorted by the Imperial Guard is Zhang San's biological father!
Now, the ministers and ministers in the court were even more confused. What is His Majesty doing? Why did his son lose his daughter and arrest his father?
Could it be... Can someone be a man who is a man and still be cruel to steal the girl?
Without much time to think about it, Liu Xie's words followed one after another, but the words were even more cold.
"Zhang San, I ask you...you can recognize this person"
"He is my father, Zhang Erhe..."
Zhang San immediately replied, "Your Majesty, did you... have you made a mistake?"
"Is it wrong?" Liu Xie narrowed his eyes, and he walked to Zhang Erhe and pulled away the coarse cloth that wrapped his mouth.
Now... Zhang Erhe can speak.
He immediately cried, "Asan...Asan...Save dad, Asan, save dad!"
"Dad is not capable, and it has already taken half of his life to support you and your elder brother. Your elder brother's family gave birth to a daughter, and you gave birth to a daughter again. A daughter has to pay several hundred yuan a year! Our Zhang family really can't afford to support us.
Now!"
"You said...you said, the three men in the Zhang family worked hard all their lives and had never done anything that hurts the world. How could they end up with a desperate situation? Dad can't figure it out, dad can't figure it out..."
Zhang Erhe's tone became more and more miserable, and his tone was extremely pitiful.
"Dad... Dad was also confused for a moment. Dad heard that someone would pick this girl up in the tower on the ground ghost slope. If not, it would be considered a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so... so he...
Xiao A San let it in, and afterwards... Daddy saw that you couple looked as if they were so sad all day long, and he soon regretted it. But when he came again, Xiao A San was still here and had no breath, Daddy... Daddy planned to go back
When I told you the truth, I... were tied here by these officers and soldiers!"
"Asan, who are they? They want my father, you save your father... Save your father..."
this…
Suddenly, Ah San's legs became weak, his pupils widened, and with a "click", he fell to the ground.
"Dad, dad..."
He stammered a few words "father" in his mouth, but his chest was ups and downs.
"Gudong"
The saliva subconsciously swallowed into his stomach. Zhang San wanted to speak, but...but his throat seemed to be swallowing even more, and he couldn't speak anyway.
The one who stole his daughter was actually his own father.
And his purpose of stealing his daughter was... because the family couldn't afford it!
call…
call…
A heavy breathing sound kept coming. At this moment, Zhang San collapsed... Not only did he collapse, but his wife also collapsed.
Even all the court officials were clasping their eyebrows and were in a particularly heavy mood.
On the contrary, Liu Xie...he seemed to have prepared in advance.
"Ahem..."
With a light cough, he squatted down and stared at Zhang Erhe. "It turns out that you are the murderer who killed the girl "Xiao Zhang San". Zhang San, didn't you just say that you wanted to kill the murderer who kidnapped your daughter with your own hands?
Why do you seem so hesitant now? Do you want to forgive him?"
Speaking of this...
Kong Rong couldn't help but speak. "Filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Even if your father takes your daughter away, you can't...can't..."
As the 20th generation grandson of Confucius, he attached great importance to filial piety and Confucian etiquette.
But this matter...apart from filial piety, it also goes against human ethics!
this…
Kong Rong was halfway through his speech, and he didn't know how to continue speaking.
If this case is cut according to Confucian etiquette, it will not be cut anyway... it cannot be cut!
"Kong Shaofu thinks it's time to forgive him?"
Emperor Liu Xie slowly stood up. When he walked to Kong Rong, he saw Kong Rong silent. He raised his head and looked around all the ministers. "You also tell me, how should this case be judged? Should Zhang San forgive his father!
”
This...this...
Another long silence.
"Forgive me?" Liu Xie waved his hand, and in an instant, countless imperial guards each took out a scroll and unfolded it at the same time.
And what's in it...
A large number of elderly people sent baby girls into the eagle tower.
It was the baby girl who cried in the eagle tower until the end, and she had her last bit of strength...
There are eagles hovering in the sky of the Eagle Tower, as if waiting for the baby girl to faint, and then it is their turn to enjoy a full meal!
Horrible, cruel, vulgar...
All negative emotions are not enough to express the cruelty of these pictures.
Liu Xie's voices followed one after another.
"Should he be forgiven?"
"Little A San, just like every baby girl in the eagle tower in this scroll. They are less than one year old. Some of them have just learned to call mother. You all open your eyes and look at this scroll...
One scene is ten times more cruel than this picture!”
"Haha, how could these eagle towers be girls? They were obviously like they were breathless, their only exposed faces were swollen and unindividual, their skin was mostly rotten, their eyes were prominent...the lips were more than you, the princes Zhang
The tongue was even bigger, and the whole tongue was spit out like a hanged female ghost, while the swaddle clothes of various colors wrapped behind them were stitched out by their mothers!”
Speaking of this...
It seemed that he could sense Liu Xie's anger.
Zhang Erhe knew that he would die, so he sat on the ground like soft mud.
Murmuring to myself, "Son, Dad know... you won't forgive Dad, okay... Then let me die here! It's also a loss to your daughter, but Dad... Dad... Dad is really
It was not intentional. Dad thought... I thought there would be a kind-hearted person to take away the eagle tower. "Xiao Zhang San". Forget it, A San... you... you have to remember that in winter, you should prepare more firewood in the furnace room and your body
Weak, afraid of cold!"
Zhang Erhe's words...
It was like the old man's last cry.
Liu Xie did not speak, but waited for him to finish his words... He waved his hand and signaled the Imperial Guard to pull Zhang Erhe, Zhang San and his wife down.
Liu Xie stood with his hands behind his back... his back to his ministers.
"Okay, the case is over! But tell me this tragedy... is it Zhang Erhe's fault?"
He continued sadly and angrily: "No... It's not Zhang Erhe who is wrong, but the heavy and unreasonable taxes in this world! It's these 'head tax' that cannibalize people to death, which forced one baby girl after another! They didn't have time to open their eyes and see
In this world, there is no need to be buried in the abdomen of an eagle!”
"In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu set a national policy of "rest and recuperate". At that time, the people had to pay only 'thirty taxes' and one' land tax! But since the reign of Emperor Wu, the taxes have increased and less and less
Reasonable, land tax! abolish! Commercial tax! abolish! Only this cap tax is increasing! My dear friends, tell me why? Why?"
Suddenly, Emperor Liu Xie raised his tone.
"You are not easy to answer, so I will tell you that because you only collect the cap tax, you gentry and clans can save a large amount of money and grain of land tax and hire a large number of slavery! No matter how much land you have, no matter how much power you have, no matter what money you have
How big the transaction is, but you only need to pay a count tax, which is exactly the same as ordinary people!”
"When the early emperor dynasty, the Han Dynasty suffered constant natural disasters and foreign races attacked the border? But what about you? It's too difficult to get some coins from your pockets! You will always be the one who looks to the king Yao and Shun, as long as your daughter
It’s good to live a prosperous life, why should you care about these common baby girls? If these untouchables have daughters, they should be buried in the countryside! You all think so, right?"
Speaking of this...
Liu Xie raised his head and looked at everyone.
Every minister lowered his head... and remained silent!
Shame, bare shame!
Liu Xie's tone was a little deeper.
"Everyone, do you all know the tower in this scroll? The eagle tower, to be precise, should be called the 'baby tower'. Maybe you have only heard of it. When talking about these vulgarities, you just smiled it, maybe just said'
That is a bad habit, sooner or later, because... the death of these babies has nothing to do with you officials who have thousands of acres of fertile land!"
"Think about it carefully, have you done something wrong? Are you a thousand hectares of fertile land and a hundred slaves, and you should bear something from this empire? Ah..."
"Does it take another Yellow Turban Rebellion? Can you gain some memory?"
Liu Xie's eyes widened... He turned around.
"Empress...Jun Xun Lingjun!"
"I'm here!"
"I'm here!"
Fu Shou and Xun Yu both took a step forward, and the cold atmosphere made the two of them feel inexplicably depressed.
"I will pass on my decree to abolish the cap tax from now on, restore the commercial tax, agricultural tax, specific tax charter, the proportion and amount of tax will be drafted by the Shangshutai, and... from now on, all the eagle towers will be demolished! If someone has it, he will be able to dominate.
If you abandon your baby girl, you will be punished more severely!”
"yes"
"Here..."
Queen Fu Shou and Xun Yu agreed.
And, all the ministers and ministers in the court!
These all the ministers and ministers who had complained about the abolition of the "capital tax" were silent at this moment.
Especially Kong Rong...
He lowered his head, and he even felt that if he refuted His Majesty's proposal at this time, then he... and his family would be nailed to the pillar of shame and would never turn over!
This is an infamous for all ages!
Can…
Obviously, this morning, Kong Rong joined forces with a group of ministers to oppose this matter, but now...
Alas...what's the matter!
Without waiting for Kong Rong to think about it carefully...
"Long live!"
Suddenly, outside the government office, some people shouted loudly.
Followed immediately.
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live…"
The voices of countless people were shaking the sky and the earth, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one!
At the end, the sound shook the rubble and resounded through the sky!
…
…
In the Baima Hou's mansion, the sound of school affairs reporting came from afar, and the imperial edict issued by His Majesty all resounded here, which shocked several birds that were building nests on the branches.
Outside the Marquis' Mansion, a horse has been prepared...
Early this morning, Lu Yu planned to go north to Yecheng to deal with some matters between the Wuhuan and the four northern prefectures.
The head of the school teacher told the story of everything that happened outside the city and slowly retreated.
The Wannian Princess Liu Xue sent Lu Yu towards the direction of the carriage.
"Husband...thank you!"
After wandering for a long time, Liu Xue chanted a sentence.
"What do you thank me?" Lu Yu smiled deliberately and asked back...
"Of course, I am the countless baby girls for the man, thank you..." Liu Xue pursed her lips.
"You should thank your brother, just be a son today." Lu Yu smiled and said: "This matter is certainly my plan, but as a pioneer, his performance is crucial!"
Hearing...
Liu Xue nodded. "My brother hasn't been so tough for years."
Speaking of this...
What Liu Xue thought of was that after the "Ling Edict", his younger brother could not even protect Concubine Dong and his bones and blood...
At that time, Liu Xie could only lie outside the palace and cry, and said with a loud voice, "Cao Mengde, you want to give it to you, why don't you want it, why don't you!"
Compared to that time...
Today's emperor Liu Xie is so tough when facing officials and officials.
"Oh…"
Lu Yu's lips opened and he smiled slightly. "As human beings, the key is to find their own position!"
"Your Majesty is also a human being. Perhaps... through this incident, he has realized what he can do in this life in this world!"
call…
Hearing this, Liu Xue nodded.
Lu Yu has already boarded the carriage.
Liu Xue suddenly thought of something again.
"Will you drive a chariot when your husband is on this trip?"
"Ha..." Lu Yu smiled slightly, but his eyes were looking at the northern border, looking at the Hu land outside the desert, the most unfriendly "Wuhuan people". His tone was sonorous, and his words were paused.
"Driving a long cart to break through the Helan Mountains!"
