Chapter 58: Verbal Sword
These people are to let his majesty carry the black cauldron!
He doesn't carry this pot!
Yang Guang stood up and looked down at the ministers!
His position was originally the highest, even if he was sitting, he was taller than these people standing, not to mention that those people were kneeling under their feet at this time.
And he was standing.
"Decree, this year's autumn harvest tax will be reduced by fifty percent!"
As soon as Emperor Yang of Sui issued this order, everyone thought that there was something wrong with their ears, and Yang Fu stood even more stunned, and even reminded His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's a fifty percent increase in taxes, not a fifty percent reduction!"
Was this Your Majesty dozing off just now?
Didn't hear anything clearly?
But even if he dozed off just now, how could he forget whether the court council had argued so many times whether to increase the tax by 30% or increase the tax by 50% many times?
Yes, it must be a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!
It must be an increase of fifty percent of the tax, hahaha, thirty percent of the tax is enough, and if it is fifty percent now, it would be great!
This money has passed from the household department, so it doesn't fatten him?
"Quick, quick, give your majesty a decree, and increase the tax ...... by fifty percent for the autumn harvest."
Yang Fu was dancing here, his proposal had never been like that before, it was so difficult like this time, and he had been talking about it for a month, humming, like the last time he proposed to increase taxes.
In just a day or two, Yang Gong had already received the holy decree.
So like this time, you have to pretend that your majesty must make an order?
What a hassle!
"Bold Yang Fu, dare to go against His Majesty's will? Where are the guards in front of the palace? ”
I don't know when Li Shan stood up all of a sudden and reprimanded Yang Fu loudly, and Zhang Yi, the Jin Wuwei who was serving with him over there, had already asked people to bind Yang Fu.
The audience was in an uproar, and everyone was a little confused!
Yang Su looked at the friends who hadn't reacted yet, and stood up directly and shouted.
"Boldly eunuch, dare to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, come on, take this Li Shan to me......"
In the past, the defense eunuchs and palace maids in Daxing Palace were all under the control of Yang Su, as long as he gave an order, don't say that a eunuch like Li Shan who became the chief of the inner chamberlain was the very powerful and well-established chief of the inner chamberlain.
If you go down the same way, you may die!
But today is different from the past, Li Shan, the head of the inner chamberlain, is the person of Emperor Yang of Sui, and the general Jin Wuweilang is also His Majesty's person, Zhang Yi at this time naturally listens to Yang Guang, not Yang Su!
No matter how loud Yang Su's voice was, those Jin Wuwei's guards went directly to arrest Yang Fu, but they didn't move Li Shan!
Xiao Guogong, who reacted, snorted coldly.
"Yang Gong, we are all His Majesty's courtiers, to be a courtier is to have the appearance of a courtier, in this world, in this hall, His Majesty has the final say, don't say that this Yang Fu offended His Majesty, openly resisted the order, His Majesty is not too ......much to kill him."
Yang Fu is the most loyal dog under Yang Su's family, with a high position and power, and is in charge of the money bags of the household.
Xiao Guogong's people have always wanted to get rid of him, but they have no chance at all, and Yang Su maintains an abnormality against him, such a person suddenly said words of resistance in front of everyone today.
It's a joy to look forward to!
Such a good opportunity, if you don't kick people off the horse and step on them, do you still want to keep him above the court, as Yang Su's tongue, and keep it for the New Year?
No matter what His Majesty's will just now, how surprising it was, but at this time, it was necessary to insist that Yang Fu would not obey the decree and take him down first.
"Your Majesty made a slip of the tongue just now, Yang Shangshu is loyal to defend Your Majesty, everyone knows that Your Majesty is going to increase the tax by fifty percent!"
Yang Su took a step forward and walked in the middle of the main hall, looking defiant of the ministers.
And his actions and attitude made the ministers who attached him stop those Jin Wuwei at once, and did not let people take Yang Fu away.
In this Great Sui Dynasty, when Yang Gong's words didn't work, these Jin Wuwei's guards were so bold.
Xiao Guogong also led people to stand in front of Yang Su at this time, but they were few of them, and they couldn't pose a threat at all, at least in terms of momentum, they couldn't compare with Yang Su's group of ministers.
And those neutral ministers only reacted at this time, but everyone was dizzy!
Didn't you say that the tax would be increased by 50 percent?
Why did it become a fifty percent reduction in taxes, which reduced taxes so much, and what money did the treasury give them money?
What money to prepare grain and grass for the soldiers at the border gates?
What money to build the canal?
Could it be that His Majesty really made a mistake just now, saying that the increase in taxes by 50% is a reduction in taxes by 50%?
If that's the case, then Yang Fu is too wronged.
"Obey Your Majesty's Divine Judgment!"
Chen Yushi was very excited at this time, he suddenly remembered the last time he went to the palace and saw His Majesty's wisdom and sageness, anyway, he didn't believe that with His Majesty's cleverness, there would be a slip of the tongue at the Great Dynasty Meeting?
Even if it is a slip of the tongue, the golden mouth cannot be changed!
Chen Yushi stood up and shouted like this, and the remaining ministers who were a little confused by the neutral faction also followed suit, anyway, no matter what, in this hall, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven.
It is impossible for the Son of Heaven to go wrong.
Reduce the tax by fifty percent, it can only be said that Yang Fu is unlucky, in case it is a slip of the tongue, reduce it first, and increase the tax by ten percent in a few days, it is also possible!
"Your Majesty's ruling ......"
Another group of people knelt down, and when the royalists on Xiao Guogong's side saw this, they hurriedly followed and shouted "Long live, long live!"
In this way, Yang Su's people were left on the main hall, and they were all standing there, not knowing what to do?
And Yang Fu had been grabbed by Zhang Yi, the knife was on his neck, and his mouth had been covered, at this time his face was pale with fright, and his feet trembled like chaff!
Soon someone smelled a smell, looking at Yang Fu's pants were already wet!
"Quick, hurry up, it's also a big sin to lose your honor in front of the palace......"
Li Shan's heart blossomed, and he shouted on the side, and then watched Zhang Yi take someone to escort Yang Fu down, Yang Su's people were just about to stop him, but he didn't know who stretched out a hand and dragged the man's foot, and the minister was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground!
"Bold, do you want to disrespect the will? Why don't you kneel down and receive the order? ”
Li Shan yelled at the ministers who were standing still, and saw Emperor Yang of Sui staring at those people, looking over one by one, and a large number of neutral and royalist ministers had already knelt on the ground.
The people of the Yang family, seeing that Yang Su had a black face and did not speak, Yang Fu had already been taken down, and at this time, the group of dragons was leaderless, and in this case, no one dared to come out.
I saw that after a little hesitation, a minister fell to his knees on the ground!
"Obey Your Majesty's Decree!"
As soon as these words were shouted, Yang Su's face darkened, and he looked at the friend on his side who was kneeling, and he went up with a kick, kicking him and rolling on the ground!
