Chapter 312 The river flows like this (3)
Chapter 312: Jiang Liu is like this (3)
Two major dynasties failed, shocking the world.
Li Zhi was so angry that he wanted to jump over the wall, and then sent someone to chase Li Fu and beat him up with a hundred pokers. It was this guy who tore the fugitive apart, otherwise would this dispute occur?
This is a joke. If it was locked in Dali Temple, perhaps these flogging wars could still be hit on Li Ming, but after the court, why is it still Li Shimin's son? Who dares to execute it? Even if it is hit, it probably would have been dusted with a broom on his body.
But it was quite surprising that Li Ming's two sons, Li Jie and Li Jun, wrote a letter to thank Li Wei for their help. He secretly called for luck. If the prince had not begged Li Jingxuan and Li Jingxuan came forward, his father would have been imprisoned in the Dongdu prison, this time it would be a little bit of good fortune. He also brought a heavy gift to thank Li Jingxuan. When Li Zhi heard about this, he was not angry, but he immediately gave Li Jie the King of Lingling and Li Jun the Duke of Li. This edict was a commendation. As Li Zhi himself, he did not want the sons of the royal family to do evil, but another meaning, Li Jie was named king, and Li Ming could not make a comeback.
But the problem must be solved, how to solve it? All ministers still tend to recall the fugitives. There are also some strategies that are not very good. When you say it, it is not only the prince, but many wealthy families will hate it. This is the reason for being silent.
At this moment, Wei Yuanzhong could not bear it and submitted a memorial, which read: "The plan for establishing a country is in the long run. The children of the royal family enjoyed the blessings of the royal family, and the people received the joy of peace. In the past, he told the crown prince that the people were suffering and the people suffered. The territory of the Sui Dynasty was not as wide as that of our dynasty, and the number of households reached nine million. Our dynasty established a country for a long time, with only four million households. Alas, the suffering of rise and fall... Qin Emperor was tyrannical, and wanted the First Emperor to live forever for two and three generations. He was not a domineering king, but also a plan for his descendants. Without worrying about the descendants forever for generations, what is the peace?... The disaster of the fleeing household was the foundation of the country,
The officials and soldiers roared in the countryside, and the accumulation became heavier. However, they were worried about the mighty force, the Emperor and the Empress were dim and silent, and the ministers were wise and silent. They did not know that two hundred years later, the number of people increased, the government would follow the crowd, the country's expenses were heavy, the tyrants were exempted from classes, the number of monks was exempted, and the number of civilians was less taxed, and the ministers dared not think about it. The rulers ignored them and were numb and insensitive. The powerful were short-sighted and greedy. If the country was ovary, how could they be finished when they were destroyed?... The minister lost his head and was sad! Or two hundred years later, the foxes in the Taiji Daming Palace sang late at night and crows danced around, which is what the king and his ministers wished now!..."
In the book, Li Zhi was furious and immediately issued an edict to send someone to take Wei Yuanzhong to Dali Temple.
But as soon as the imperial envoy left, Li Zhi issued another edict behind him, and Wei Yuanzhong immediately rushed to Luoyang to discuss matters.
This is where Li Wei was so amused and laughed. He said he was stupid and was still very clear about some major issues. He said he was not stupid and for the sake of his power, he made a great court mess.
Wei Yuanzhong was taken to the capital, Li Zhi took out the memorial he wrote and said, "Do you know what you wrote?"
“I wrote a lot.”
"You are arrogant!" It is a good idea to write about the seriousness of the fleeing household. It actually describes the fact that the Tang Dynasty was about to be over in less than two hundred years. It also scolded myself for being dark and insensitive, and even Qin Shihuang was inferior to Qin Shihuang. An emperor was afraid of being powerful and being weak. Is this true? A powerful man is not afraid, and that emperor is not afraid of being powerful man in the world?
"Your Majesty, it's not that your Majesty is arrogant, it's that your Majesty is arrogant to your ancestors."
"You, you!"
"Your Majesty, why bother to be angry? What I am going to say is to speak frankly. If Your Majesty does not want you to speak frankly and charm the king and cannot do it, then I will not say anything. But I just want to say one last sentence, that is, an ordinary farmer, a most humble merchant and craftsman, and knows to leave some property for your descendants. What kind of country left by Emperor Taizong Wen to give to Your Majesty? But what kind of foundation will Your Majesty be for your descendants? A Supreme Emperor of Nine Five can't even see through this. Wouldn't he be arrogant to his ancestors?"
Not only did he deliberately avoid the issue of fleeing households, but he also accused him of the constraints he created for his power, which made the court split.
"Where are you here, drag him down to the courtyard stick."
The eunuch was about to take action, but Wu Zetian said behind the curtain: "Let's wait."
Then he turned out from behind the curtain and said, "Your Majesty, this man is loyal and strong, and should not be insulted."
After saying this, Li Zhi finally woke up, couldn't erase his sternness, and coughed twice, saying, "I'm wrong."
"You are not afraid of mistakes, you are afraid of not correcting your mistakes. Your Majesty may have medicine to save you."
"Cough, cough!" Li Zhi was so angry that he coughed dryly again.
Wu Zetian had a wonderful eye, but she was thinking in her heart that she was very good at Wei Zhenzai and Di Renjie. These two ministers were both talented people who were difficult to choose for a while. She didn't know how his son was chosen from millions of people. She admired her very much, and she had the idea of snatching these two talents with her son.
In fact, the eunuchs who served turned their faces and pretended that they had not heard it. Wei Yuanzhong was three more courageous than Zhu Jingze. The historian even asked in a low voice: "Do you want to write down this paragraph?"
Wu Zetian turned around and said, "Remember!"
Li Zhi endured it, but there was no way. The threats of these ministers did not work. Just like this book, not only cursed him, but also cursed the ministers and the wealthy officials. Who among the civil and military officials had the courage? Thinking of this, he became angry and his tone became softer. He said warmly: "I know, but it is not easy to govern. If the measures are not appropriate, the country will even *** immediately, rather than wait until two hundred years later."
"Maybe there is a way."
"Let me tell me." It's better than not. Li Zhi has not had the heart to deal with other government affairs these days.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that you do not avoid relatives and relatives."
"Yes, this is the gentleman's style."
"I am helpless, but there is someone who may have a way, but Your Majesty cannot hold on to kiss him or hate him."
Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were both confused. Who is this? Let Li Zhi be close and hate him?
"It's His Highness."
"Cough, cough," Li Zhi choked again.
The prince is the emperor's son, so he can only say he is kissing him. How can he say he hates him? The historian's hand trembled with his pen, and asked carefully: "Can you remember this sentence?"
Wu Zetian didn't dare to take the initiative this time, but Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Remember."
Then he said, "Since he has a way, he is the prince, why don't he speak until now?"
"Your Majesty, I used to accompany the Crown Prince to Shaolin Temple to pray for your blessings. The Crown Prince once talked to me about this. Before the crown prince could reach the crown, I had some ideas. The Crown Prince was extremely wise and grew up for several years. This is one of the biggest drawbacks of the country. The Crown Prince should have some more mature ideas. "Wei Yuanzhong regarded Li Wei too highly. Li Wei may not be very good in terms of power and strategy. After all, there are some knowledge from previous lives, and it is unlikely to completely solve it. There are still ways to alleviate it. During the conversation last year, Li Wei also vaguely said that he did not say the specifics, and Wei Yuanzhong did not ask. It is better to have less than more things than to delay. But he could not delay any longer, so he had to pull the Crown Prince into the water. So he paused and said, "The Crown Prince cannot speak."
"Why can't you speak?"
"It was His Majesty who made him unable to speak."
"..." Li Zhi immediately woke up and speechless.
This made the historian difficult again, and he didn't know whether he should remember it. After thinking about it, since Qiu Zhidu had already recorded it, he could also remember this sentence, wiped his sweat and wrote it on the paper again.
Wu Zetian said from the side: "Go and tell him that state affairs are the most important."
"Here!"
Wei Yuanzhong retreated and looked at his leaving figure. Wu Zetian praised: "Your Majesty, this person can be used more. It is clear and no one in the court can match it."
"Yes," Li Zhi replied softly. He is a rare minister, but once he is reused, his ears will be squeaked by this person all day long. Thinking about it again, he felt very depressed. Why didn't such a person use it for himself but became his son's confidant?
Walking out of the palace, all the ministers looked at Wei Yuanzhong sideways. This memorial was even more violent than Zhu Jingze's attack on Li Zhi, and even Hao Chujun and Li Yiyan were ashamed of themselves. When they arrived at the Eastern Palace, Li Wei immediately let him in.
Wei Yuanzhong immediately expressed his intentions.
"Wei Qing, you have harmed the orphan."
Wei Yuanzhong suddenly fell to the ground and said, "Your Highness, I know that once your Highness makes a plan, no matter what plan it is, it will hurt many people, which is not good for your Highness. However, all prefectures and counties have begun to write letters. If the court does not make a plan, it may be unrest. Besides, we have to use troops to Tubo. At this time, the country cannot be disturbed."
"You are a loyal minister, and Gu admires you very much... But Gu cannot say it."
"Your Highness, I understand your difficulties, but I cannot hide my weaknesses at this time."
"I can't say it."
"Then I ask your highness, do you have any strategy?"
“Yes, there are a lot of controversy.”
"Will the country shake the fundamentals?"
"This won't."
"Then please tell me your highness!" Wei Yuanzhong knelt down suddenly.
Li Wei immediately helped him up and smiled bitterly: "Wei Qing, you don't know. Gu has heard of these days and is also thinking that the root cause is tax reform, and it is unlikely that it can be taxed. Or taxes are freed from the farmland. Therefore, Gu has been doing silently, and you have also seen a few things Gu did silently, bringing much tax to the country for more than a year. But if you want to moisten things silently, there must be a slow process. I want to come up with a solution to the root cause, and there are some solutions to alleviate this."
"Please say it."
"But when I say it, it is not only a controversy, but many people offended, and I also get a false reputation and make my father afraid. This doesn't matter, I'm afraid that Gu will go to Qinghai to fight Lun Qinling. This is what Gu is most worried about. Not to mention it may not happen, but Gu will definitely get Qinghai." But I was also ashamed that Li Tang's blood flowed on his body, but his loyalty is far less than Wei Yuanzhong.
"Go to Qinghai?"
"Yes, Gu is sometimes reckless in his work, but he is clear about his ability. When he went to Qinghai to fight Lunqinling, even if Mr. Pei and Mr. Liu were very troubled, what would happen if Gu Go would?"
"Where does this start?" Wei Yuanzhong was confused. Why can't he hear such a big thing?
