When a problem that no one has encountered before appears in front of people, most people are at a loss, and some people are panicked.
The court is not a stupid place. On the contrary, many talented people from the Song Dynasty gathered here. Most of the elites selected by a country through the imperial examination were here.
It cannot be said that there are no "relic pearls" among the people. Although there are still a lot of them, they cannot be compared with those in the court to a certain extent.
When the Han Dynasty developed into the Song Dynasty, its political experience and methods of handling affairs were quite mature. Even in the face of disasters, it had an effective response system.
But all this is based on past experience. However, what Tokyo City is encountering now is an unprecedented economic problem.
Ye An had brought up the word "economy" in front of Zhao Zhen early, which gave him a new understanding of the production activities of the Song Dynasty.
This also made Zhao Zhen, an official of the Song Dynasty, instantly grasp the problem in the current turmoil in the court. It all stemmed from the economic problems of Tokyo City.
Ye An said before that the economy is as small as the expenses of each household in Tokyo, as large as the national tax revenue reported by the officials of the three departments, including all kinds of money circulation.
So when the courtiers reported many issues such as ethics, the decline of the market, the loans of the Grand Prime Minister's Temple, and the people who were forced to kill people by mistake, Zhao Zhen knew who could solve this problem.
The focus in the court quickly returned to the source of the problem. Why was there such turmoil? Why did the city of Tokyo change overnight from a prosperous place to a place where everyone is in danger?
Lu Yijian didn't care about this. He said in the most rational tone: "I would like to report to the official sage that although there are illegal things happening in Tokyo City, in the final analysis, it is the people who borrowed money and repaid their debts. I think the fault is not with the people."
, and in the Daxiangguo Temple! Since they have made an agreement with the people in advance, they should not call for debts in advance now! They still want people to pay back the money with interest, which is an act of dishonesty!"
What Lu Yijian said is correct. What Lu Yijian meant was very simple. Only a small number of people borrowed money, and not all of them paid back. All problems should be blamed on the Daxiangguo Temple and the monks' bad faith!
Being sensible, reasonable, and polite, Lu Yijian's words were approved by the courtiers, but if things were so simple, there wouldn't be so many lawsuits involving human lives.
Only Wang Zeng was a little surprised. In his opinion, Ye An was on good terms with the Wang family. He and Lu Yijian were at odds with each other. How could he stand up to intercede for Ye An today?
His words seemed not to mention Ye An, but he put all the responsibility on Daxiangguo Temple. Who doesn't know that Daxiangguo Temple was forced to do this by Ye An?
Wang Zhen from Kaifeng Mansion left his job carefully, and said in a cautious tone: "What Mr. Lu said is absolutely true, but the Daxiangguo Temple said it. They were forced to do this because of Ye Hou's actions.
"
Zhao Zhen was quite curious and looked back at his mother. When he saw her closing her eyes to rest, he said, "Wang Longtu, what does this matter have to do with Ye Hou?"
The efficiency of Kaifeng Mansion is not low. Wang Zhen found out the problem as soon as Tokyo city was in turmoil. After saluting again, he said: "This happened because the Marquis of Yunzhong County helped a widow from Xinlingfang...
"
Before Wang Zhen finished speaking, there was an explosion in the court. The courtiers could have any problems, but character was crucial. In the eyes of the courtiers, this was a matter of principle.
"What?! How is this inappropriate?"
"Indecent! Immoral!"
"The dignified founder of the country is entangled with the widow's family!"
Wang Zeng came out of the classroom and said: "A saint and an official, I thought that I should let Scholar Wang speak clearly. Now that we have just opened our mouths, we are criticizing each other with words and writing. Is it too much to be biased?"
"Can!"
Liu E, the queen mother who listened behind the curtain, finally spoke, and Zhao Zhen slowly let out a breath. He was worried that even the queen mother would not stand by Ye An.
With the saint's will, Wang Zhen dared to continue: "All the reasons are due to a Zhang family widow in the self-confidence mausoleum. Her husband died early, and she has been running her own medicine shop with her two children. Later, she made money
It was not enough, so he borrowed the fortune money from the Daxiangguo Temple. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and the Zhang family's business deteriorated day by day, so the money could not be paid back. Later, he asked a local official to mediate and delay the payment for a few days.
Just in time for the visit of Marquis Ye, who knew that the two monks came and made rude remarks, forcing the orphan and widowed mother to death. Marquis Ye couldn't stand it, so he taught them a lesson, and thus formed a relationship with the Daxiangguo Temple.
Hatred.”
The court fell silent. In the eyes of the courtiers, what Ye An did was not wrong, and it was even what a scholar should do.
Orphans and widowed mothers were bullied by evil monks. Ye An, as a courtier with intellectual talents and as a founding prince of the country, did this out of love for justice and should be praised, praised for his high justice and his enthusiasm.
From a Confucian perspective, Ye An did a very decent job, except that the beating was a bit excessive, but the courtiers who learned the truth didn't think anything of it. After all, he was beating a monk...
Evil monks should be severely punished, and the scripts, lyrics and music that have suddenly appeared in Tokyo recently have made literati feel proud.
The reason is very simple. In every story, there will be a literati, an official or a scholar who stands up for the suffering family!
Wang Zeng glanced at Lu Yijian, who was there. He really couldn't understand why this old enemy would stand up for Ye An, and he also didn't understand why he, who was stubborn and wanted the court to be stable, would disturb the Daxiangguo Temple and Ye An.
in the entanglement.
The change in the court was only a personal change for Ye An, who expressed understanding and support for him to help the Zhang family widow rather than offend Da Xiangguo Temple, but there was no tolerance for him making the matter bigger and letting Da Xiangguo Temple cause trouble in Tokyo.
.
Who doesn’t know that what Daxiangguo Temple did today was forced by Ye An?
Today's problem at Daxiangguo Temple is not the first time it has appeared, but a problem that has long been rooted in the roots!
It's not that the court didn't expect it, and it's not that the courtiers didn't know about it, but no one wanted to expose this matter. It's not the Daxiangguoji family who lend money in Tokyo...
This was not a problem originally. As long as everything was stable, there would be no changes. But now it has changed. Will the changes in Daxiangokuji Temple cause more changes in the city of Tokyo?
Now the court still wants to seek peace and stability!
In the matter of Daxiangguo Temple, the root cause is actually easy to find, and even everyone knows it, but the problem lies in the conflict between Ye An and Daxiangguo Temple. Daxiangguo Temple was forced by Ye An to recover the lent money.
Money, this is to put pressure on the court and demonstrate to Ye An!
This incident was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and also the most difficult "straw" to occur.
There was nothing wrong with Ye An and he had done nothing wrong, but when he had a dispute with the Prime Minister's Temple, his fault was pinned on his head. Everyone knew that Ye An had to give an explanation to the Prime Minister's Temple.
Temple an explanation.
The courtiers all knew it, but how could Liu E not know it? Even Zhao Zhen knew the cause and effect of the matter. It was the discord between Ye An and Daxiangguo Temple that led to such a situation.
The most important thing is that people have died, and the matter has become big. For the entire city of Tokyo, this is no longer a small matter. No matter whether the people who die are ordinary people or the monks of Daxiangguo Temple, they are making the matter big. This is why Liu E took Ye An
