Chapter 247: Good News (Monthly Pass)
Some people question this tax theory, and naturally some people have a supportive attitude.
At this moment, someone sneered: "Otherwise."
The man slowly said: "The article has long refuted the argument of Mr. Li. No matter how rich the people are, they can build bridges, pave roads, and raise soldiers? Since it is not possible, then these should be the responsibility of the court. If the court pays taxes lightly, but once it cannot protect the people, protect the people, and be at peace, what is the purpose? What the court wants is peace and peace in the world, and this can be achieved in the article, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Li Shanchang narrowed his eyes and smiled disapprovingly.
"This is a bad statement. If the government needs to build bridges and pave roads, we can ask for help from local gentry."
But someone suddenly said: "As a result, in order to build bridges and roads, the local government had to obey the local wealthy families. So, is this the local government of the court or the local government of the people? What does it have to do with the people?"
"Quote!" Li Shan said angrily: "This is a model of the integration of officials and the people, but it seems to have become a collusion in your mouth."
The person who spoke before shook his head: "But there are tens of millions of people, but the people you say are only a thousand people. Why do these people represent thousands of people? The so-called integration of officials and the people, what kind of people are there? I think Li Gong knew in his heart that these people are rich and can be integrated with the government. The government has a desire for them, so that they can become powerful people in the local area and become powerful people. They are not the same as the integration of officials and the people. It is clearly colluding with the government and exploiting the people, and even such rich people will be rich, while the poor and the poor will become poorer. This... is the result that Mr. Li hopes for?"
"You... are still the way for Emperor Wu of Han to weaken the people!" Li Shanchang said sternly: "Emperor Wu also competes with the people for profit and attacks the so-called powerful people, but what is the result?"
Both sides were verbally fighting and it was very lively.
The Hanlin Grand Secretary Wu Wen was fair and just watched from the wall.
Some of the other Hanlin people have no qualifications to speak at all, and occasionally they will suddenly say a few words.
But the empress dowager who was sitting behind the curtain felt very uncomfortable and felt harsh no matter how she heard it.
The Empress Dowager didn't care about such quarrels in the past.
But what we are arguing about today is the tax theory, which was written by her own child. It was difficult for her to see her own child. The Empress Dowager naturally regarded this tax theory as her own child. As long as anyone complained, it would be as if someone pointed at her nose and scolded her.
She endured the displeasure in her heart and still sat upright gracefully, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and gently glanced at everyone, as if observing their expressions.
At this time, Li Shanchang seemed annoyed and said sarcastically: "I think the person who wrote this article is really sinister and wants to use it to please some people in the court. What's more, it is reported that when Yang Gong, the chief minister of the Tianren Pavilion, he had the intention of increasing taxes. Could it be that Chen Kaizhi guessed that Yang Gong was so fond of his preference that he wrote this article."
This sentence is a bit heartbroken.
It would be fine if we simply discuss the article, but this sentence is quite a bit like the author of tax theory, and he wrote an article in order to seek fame.
Wouldn't this become a villain?
For scholars, it is so serious that they are labeled like this.
Not only is it disgusting, but it also has a bad reputation. How dare the court use Chen Kaizhi in the future?
Li Shanchang was still righteous and continued: "If Chen Kaizhi's article had not been made such a statement, it was just an ordinary article of time. What kind of virtue can be included in the list of heaven and man. This article is not worthy of discussion..."
"Enough!"
A sharp reprimand suddenly broke the endless debate here.
The bead curtain was rolled up, and the empress dowager could not help it after all. She walked out quickly with a gray face.
In the past, the empress dowager was only responsible for listening and rarely spoke, let alone such scolding?
The Hanlin people were stunned, and then bowed and said, "Grandmaster calmed down."
The Empress Dowager was furious. It was so outrageous. He dared to insult his son. It was a crime to be killed!
Although she was very angry, the Queen Mother still had some reason and understood that Li Shanchang could not be severely punished at this moment.
No matter how much anger she felt in her heart, she had to endure it, her hands were squeezing together, her lips twitched faintly, her phoenix eyes stared at Li Shanchang, and said sternly: "Li Shanchang, how could you say such a heart-breaking word!"
In a rage, murderous intent flashed through the Queen Mother's eyes.
Li Shanchang bowed and then raised his eyes. Soon, he touched the empress dowager's eyes like a blade. His mind trembled slightly, but he still said seriously: "This is a saying, but I am just speaking for justice!"
When Li Shanchang said this, he was quite brave.
The implication is that there have always been things that have been said, even if it is too much, it has been said. When Emperor Taizu was there, some people even dared to say that there is a king in front of Taizu, saying that there is no king than a king. Even if you dare to say such a void king, Taizu just thought that this person was a crazy person and laughed it off.
How could the Queen Mother blame her subordinates for the discussion she gave?
The Empress Dowager suddenly realized that she had... had lost her composure.
This was something that had never happened before. She pursed her lips, but she was a little embarrassed.
After pausing, she was still cold and cold, with a cold tone: "Is it a Hanlin Bachelor who uses articles to discuss people's thoughts and malicious slander?
Li Shanchang was slightly shocked. Obviously, he didn't expect the queen mother to scold him angrily. Even so, he still insisted on his own opinion and said seriously.
"I am just talking about the length of the article. I dare to say that if this article is not innovative, it is a masterpiece, but it is still far from being on the list of heaven and man. Because of this, I just thought that Chen Kai's knowledge is certainly acceptable, but compared with a real talent, it is just a lie. It would be fine if he was on the list of heaven and man by relying on strange and strange theories, but he was discussed in his speech. I really don't agree with this. What I said comes from my heart, and I would like to ask the Empress to forgive me."
The theory of heart-killing is always the most realistic, because when debating, we can never eliminate arguments. Everyone has their own opinions and it is useless to argue until dawn.
But Li Shanchang directly threw out his killer move.
Since this is useless.
Then let’s kill the heart, and there will be no arguments about the article. As long as the person who writes the article has selfish intentions, or is distracted from ashes, is unfilial, and is unvirtuous, then... the argument can end.
The queen mother was so angry that she shook her hands hidden in her cuffs and the veins crept up.
If it were normal times, she would just laugh it off, but the Li Shanchang in front of her directly questioned Chen Kaizhi's character. How could she bear it as a mother?
Every mother cannot tolerate her child when she is slandered by others, so the empress dowager cannot tolerate it, and she is eager to kill Li Shanchang immediately.
But... the empress dowager's heart still kept reminding her. She knew very well that it would be a pleasure to pursue Li Shanchang without reason, but this might lead to a bigger debate...
But if you don’t punish it, it will be hard to relieve the hatred in your heart!
"I can prove it!"
Suddenly, someone in the hall made a sound.
Deng Jian, a small Hanlin editor, stepped out slowly and said angrily: "Chen Kaizhi is my junior brother. He respects the elderly and loves the young. He is a moral gentleman. He will never seek fame and reputation. I am willing to use the heads as a guarantee."
Deng Jian was angry and scolded my junior brother for having any problems with his character? Although that guy is indeed a little lazy and lazy, is it also your scolding?
Even if you call my junior brother lazy, I, Deng Jian, would not allow it.
Besides, you are slandering my junior brother's character and you can't bear it. Isn't this going to destroy my junior brother's future? It's too much to slander others' character for no reason.
Therefore, Deng Jian gritted his teeth and said, "What does Li Gong, as a scholar, judge a gentleman's affair with such a villain's heart? What does this mean?"
Li Shanchang was stunned, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe it.
A villain's heart determines a gentleman's abdomen. A small editor actually pointed at his nose and scolded him?
He stared at Deng Jian with wide eyes and said sternly: "Who is the villain?"
He knew this kid, who was a little editor in the National History Museum, was not worth mentioning. Therefore, he held his head arrogantly and looked at Deng Jian with disdain.
It seems to be asking, what are you, you can actually question me.
Deng Jian usually acts as a human being with his tail between his legs, but now he is burning with ignorance. He ignores it completely and blurts out: "It's you who scolds you."
"You...you..." Li Shanchang never expected that a little editor would dare to humiliate himself like this while talking about this.
The reputation of Hanlin is extremely precious!
He hurriedly bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Empress, Deng Xiu is injuring the emperor, beg the Empress to make the decision for his ministers."
After all, Li Shanchang was one of the several bachelors in the Hanlin area and had deep connections. At this time, seven or eight Hanlin areas said, "Editor Deng said evil words, and he deserves to die."
The queen mother's eyes were chilling. At this moment, she really wanted to do everything and kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
She held back so hard that she didn't say it. She scolded her well, which was also her voice.
Just as she pondered.
But at this moment, an eunuch outside shouted: "Good news, good news...great joy...great joy..."
With a big joy, people who didn't know thought there was a good news from a border town, but in fact, everyone was confused.
There have been no border problems recently, so where are the good news coming from?
But he saw an eunuch stepping into the hall with a happy expression: "Your Majesty, I'm so happy. Another article has been released on the list of heaven and man!"
call……
The whole hall was in an uproar.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.
This is just a post, how about another post?
