Chapter 634: The Prince's Victory
The impeachment of the prince is not an ordinary person, but the imperial history of Cheng Zhao Shangjiao, he in the post-Tang Dynasty, he entered the official office, after several dynasties, now is nearly seventy years old, usually Zhao Shangjiao likes garden flowers, and the money earned is used to buy precious flowers and plants, every day of rest, he invites his friends and protΓ©gΓ©s, wandering among the flowers together, chanting poems, so not chic.
It's hard to imagine that this person actually wrote a book asking the prince to be diligent and thrifty, which seems a bit ironic!
Ye Hua walked in front, Qi Tongwen followed behind, the old man's eyes turned, don't look at him as a grass people, but over the years, his senior brothers, and even his disciples, have all passed the imperial examination and become officials.
If anyone really regards Qi Tongwen as a bully, then he is brain-dead!
"Master Hou, the body of the old cloth clothes, can climb the Golden Palace and talk about national politics, it is really thanks to the Lord Hou. In today's court, the useless decay like Zhao Shangjiao should really be avoided...... I want to bring him down! β
Ye Hua smiled, "Mr. Qi is so courageous, I'll give you a pressure formation!" β
Qi Tongwen's eyes lit up and nodded vigorously.
With Ye Hua's words, he can rest assured, the two of them have completed the division of labor, Ye Hua is responsible for dealing with other people's attacks, Qi Tongwen concentrates on dealing with Zhao Shangjiao, of course, Lao Qi still has two students, Guo Xingge and Guo Zongxun, I just don't know how much combat power these two little things can have......
Soon, they arrived at the top of the Golden Palace, and because the prince was implicated, all the prime ministers came. At this moment, all the ministers are very embarrassed, Chai Rong has already released a rumor that he wants to change the political hall to the cabinet for consultation!
These four words, for the princes of the political hall, are no less than the sky shaking, the sun and the moon are dark!
The prime minister is the head of the hundred officials who are justifiable, presides over the political affairs hall, holds the big seal under the Zhongshu gate, and sets up the Sheren Yuan under the political affairs hall, and has the Zhizhi Decree or the Zhishe Renyuan, which is responsible for drafting the edict. There are also five rooms, including Confucius, officials, households, military rites and punishments, which are divided into Cao to deal with affairs.
To put it mildly, the political hall is a trumpet court, and they can manage all the things that the emperor can manage, but there is only a difference in size.
However, under normal circumstances, the imperial court is mostly small things, and there are few major things, so the prime minister is responsible for daily affairs, and the authority is very, very heavy!
Especially with the peace of the world, many arrogant and domineering generals dare not compete with the prime minister, otherwise they can make you uncomfortable for a long time with a small shoe, and you can't say what you are suffering.
However, when you are demoted from the government hall to the cabinet, you will be embarrassed.
They no longer directly govern the hundred officials, but only serve as advisers to the Son of Heaven, putting forward opinions, and the Son of Heaven can adopt or reject them, as for the hundred officials of the imperial court, I am afraid that they will no longer be taken seriously......
"The bad thing is bad for Ye Hua, this kind of ghost idea is all from him!"
Wei Renpu is very sure, because His Majesty wants to abolish the Privy Council, to abolish the three divisions, and when the time comes, the three provinces and six ministries will be restored, and the status of the princes of the political hall will be further improved, and there will be no more martial artists in the court.
Ye Hua is so bad, when he saw the crisis, he instigated His Majesty, changed the cabinet, and dragged the civil officials into the water!
Your Majesty wants to be arbitrary, how can he refuse?
If we don't give Ye Hua some color, we won't have a good life!
Lao Zhao, you can rest assured to rush forward boldly!
Ye Hua instigated the prince to be evil, it was a harbor of evil, as long as you hit the first shot, we will have a steady stream of support, maybe we can also detain the death of the queen and the concubine on Ye Hua's head, so that he will completely fall.
Lao Zhao, come on!
Encouraged by many important ministers, Zhao Shangjiao was full of confidence and set foot on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, the old minister found out that since half a month ago, the Jingzhong vegetable market has destroyed vegetables and fruits every day, and at most one day, twenty carts of watermelons have been thrown away, which is enough for tens of thousands! Many people lamented and shed tears, throughout the ages, they have destroyed the heavens, there is no such thing! Zhao Shangjiao said: "The people cherish it, some people want to pick it up, but they don't let it, and they dig a pit to bury it and sprinkle lime...... Let me ask, have I been thoughtful about the rule of three generations of Wufu Minfeng? Is there an endless mountain of gold and silver? Champion Hou, as the prince's teacher and a scholar of the Huagai Palace, this is how you taught the prince? How can you be a teacher? And why is it based on the court? β
Lao Zhao was really full of combat power, and he almost forced Ye Hua to commit suicide and apologize.
He tried his best to attack, but Ye Hua's eyelids turned up, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.
Just the middle of the imperial history, the boss of the officials, you don't need me to make a move, it's enough to have students.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Shangjiao's voice fell, Guo Xingge became angry, "Zhao Zhongcheng, your speech must be grounded, I admit that there is a matter of throwing away watermelons, but this matter is a reasonable decision made by us in discussion with the officials of the wholesale market, and it has nothing to do with Champion Hou, why do you blame Champion Hou?" β
"His Royal Highness the King of Shang!"
Zhao Shangjiao said sharply: "A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and every wisp of perseverance is difficult. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty could not bear to waste a hundred gold to build a palace, and he was called a virtuous monarch in the past dynasties, tens of thousands of watermelons, at least hundreds of times, right? was thrown away casually, and there are so many vegetables, how much more than 100 gold is wasted? Your Royal Highness the King of Shang, don't you know to be ashamed? β
Brother Guo Xing rolled his eyes, "Useless and decayed, you only see what you throw away, have you ever wanted to make too much money?" β
"What do you mean?" Lao Zhao frowned angrily, don't look at it as the prince of the clan, dare to insult the important ministers of the dynasty, you think you are Ye Hua!
"His Royal Highness the King of Shang, listening to your words, is it a hoarding and driving up prices? If so, the sin is only greater! Zhao Shangjiao immediately said to Chai Rong: "I implore Your Majesty to send a commissioner to thoroughly investigate this matter and give an explanation to the government and the opposition, otherwise the prince and the king of Shang will act recklessly, and everyone will be extravagant and wasteful, and the future of my Da Zhou will be worrying!" β
Zhao's words have been praised by many people, although there are some suspicions of making a big fuss, but it is still necessary to prevent micro problems.
Chai Rong listened to them arguing for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Prince, I know that these days, you have been to the countryside, more than once, and after you came back, you ordered the destruction of vegetables and fruits, what do you think?"
was suddenly named by his father, Guo Zongxun's little face turned pale, and he subconsciously hid behind his uncle, looking very flustered. Qi Tongwen coughed, "Your Highness, since the sage asked, you can tell the truth that you have done a lot of things these days!" β
Brother Guo Xing also said: "That's right, Your Highness, let this old fool see how powerful you are!" β
After receiving encouragement, Guo Zongxun finally had the courage to say: "There are too many, there are too many watermelons, and if they can't be sold at a price, melon farmers can't make money." β
"So it's going to be destroyed?" Chai Rong groaned.
"Well, throw the watermelon away, and the remaining good watermelon will sell for three times the price!"
"Oh!" Chai Rong sold tea in the end, he instantly understood what his son meant, and couldn't help but walk in front of the prince, suppress his excitement, and asked: "Huang'er, are you saying that there are too many watermelons, and you are afraid that the grain will hurt the farmers, so you have to destroy them?" β
The prince nodded vigorously.
"Not only watermelon, but also those vegetables, is also a truth?"
The prince said: "Yes, the rotten vegetables must be thrown away, otherwise it will drag down the price of vegetables, the vegetables can't be sold at a price, the farmers run to the capital for dozens of miles, it's too hard, and they have to lose money, father, they all live in very broken thatched houses, which are more broken than Mr.'s bamboo building!" β
The little prince's words jumped a little, but Chai Rong touched his forehead happily, and then said to Qi Tongwen: "Mr. Qi, let's talk about it carefully!" β
Qi Tongwen nodded, he first talked about the process of buying vegetables in the capital in the past, and then changed the conversation, "Your Majesty, the officials in the market are also like Zhao Zhongcheng, they feel that vegetables and fruits are not easy to come by, and they must be sold out, even if a cart of vegetables is only sold for a few pennies, it is better than nothing!" β
Qi Tongwen glanced at Zhao Shangjiao from the corner of his eye, and seeing that the old guy's face was unswerving, he sneered slightly, and continued to say calmly: "The little officials are reluctant to throw it away, and the vegetable farmers also think that it is a little bit to be able to sell a little...... But they forgot that it was these rotten vegetables, rotten watermelons, that dragged down the price of all vegetables! β
A cart of vegetables of different sizes may only sell for 10 or 20 yuan, but if you choose carefully, you can also select half of the dishes.
In contrast, a cart of good food costs 100 or 200 wen, which is ten times the price
In the restaurants and restaurants in the capital, in addition to the top, almost all of them will buy some rotten dishes...... They buy rotten vegetables, and good vegetables can't be sold at a price, and even more vegetable farmers are damaged!
"Your Majesty, these days, on average, every day, the vegetable market destroys twenty truckloads of rotten vegetables, and the original price of one cart of vegetables has increased to three hundred...... The farmer's profit per cart more than doubled, and the peasants rejoiced when they were finally rewarded for their hard work. β
Qi Tongwen explained the truth clearly, and there were no stupid people in the Golden Palace, everyone could understand it. Zhao Shangjiao didn't study it carefully, so he made random accusations, which really didn't make sense.
Of course, Lao Zhao is not a person who admits defeat easily, he shook his head, "Sure enough, it's the hoarding of Juqi!" Why don't you raise the price of food to 500 wen or 1,000 wen? The grain is cheap and hurts the farmers, and the grain is expensive and hurts the people! You only have vegetable farmers in your eyes, so what about the people in the capital? β
Qi Tongwen chuckled, "That's wrong!" Do you know what is the highest cost of vegetable vendors in Beijing? Tell you, it's renting a shop stall, it's hiring labor. And the rotten vegetables are abundant, affecting the sales of vegetable vendors, and now the price of vegetables has gone up, the sales have also gone up, and the retail price of vegetables has risen by less than one percent, although the people in Beijing have some complaints, but they can still accept it. β
"That's a good thing to say!" Zhao Shangjiao said politely: "How many poor people are there in this capital?" The current price of vegetables is unaffordable, and the price increase is even more unaffordable? Do you want to starve them? β
"No, it won't!" Guo Zongxun said suddenly: "We have thought of a way, give, give vegetable coupons to the poor!" β
"Emperor, what did you say?"
"Father, Mr. and Uncle have discussed, they took out some money from the profits of the vegetable market, specially purchased vegetables, and then sold them to the real poor people in the capital at a low price." Guo Zongxun said seriously: "It took us three months to let everyone have food to eat!" β
Chai Rong was greatly relieved and chuckled: "Yes, you can spend three months, but some people don't even want to go to the vegetable market!" β
