Chapter 517: As the sun rises
When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other one by one, Li Hao's method was perfect, some people were not convinced, and wanted to oppose it, because according to Li Hao's method, the amount of pension will increase, and the court will support this group of disabled soldiers for a lifetime, but they think about it, the survival problem of disabled soldiers must be solved, and the soldiers can't dedicate themselves to the country, but the country abandons them, if they object, I'm afraid they will anger all the generals, these generals are all righteous people, which generals don't cherish their soldiers, At this moment, those generals were looking at Li Hao with grateful eyes, so they all dispelled the idea of speaking out against it.
Next, Li Shimin put the petition next to him, and picked up the second letter, which is the impeachment of Zhang Liang, Li Shimin held the fold, looked at Li Hao, and said: "Poetry madness, you are a letter to impeach a minister of the DPRK and China?" ”
The ministers were shocked when they heard this, Li Hao wants to impeach people? This is the first time, everyone looks at me, I look at you, they are all a little scared, and they start to reflect on whether they have done anything wrong recently.
"Back to Your Majesty." Li Hao said loudly, "The minister impeached Zhang Liang, the secretary of the ministry, and delayed the fighter plane in the battle against Goguryeo, resulting in the failure of the battle to destroy Goguryeo, if it wasn't for Zhang Liang to let Goguryeo live, the battle of Youzhou would not be so tragic, and there would not be so many soldiers and people sacrificed to Hu Yi's sword, the minister asked Your Majesty to punish Zhang Liang heavily!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was shocked, Zhang Liang was even more shocked, angry and afraid, during this time he had already clamped his tail and behaved, but he didn't expect Li Hao to jump out and impeach him, and deduct such a big black pot for him, not only put the responsibility for the defeat of Goguryeo on him, but also pushed the responsibility for the battle of Youzhou to him, he was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Li Hao and shouted: "You...... You...... You...... Full of nonsense! Full of nonsense......"
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Hao and Zhang Liang, the original wonderful mood became a little not very good, he still knows Zhang Liang better, in one sentence to describe, mediocre people, Zhang Liang is very mediocre, he has never made any great achievements, but he has not made any big mistakes, and Zhang Liang is very good at standing in line, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Liang has been standing in line, he is very lucky, he can stand on the right team every time, even if he has not made much merit, but with the so-called loyalty and hard work, he has also mixed with the dukedom of the country, The portrait entered the Lingyan Pavilion and became the secretary of the ministry.
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Liang, his heart was very uncomfortable, everything Li Hao said, deeply said to Li Shimin's heart, if it wasn't for Zhang Liang's delay in the fighter, maybe he would have destroyed Goguryeo, the battle of Goguryeo can be said to be a big regret in Li Shimin's life, all because of Zhang Liang, and if Goguryeo is destroyed, will Gai Suwen still take 30,000 troops to fight Youzhou, the battle of Youzhou will naturally not be so tragic.
However, Li Shimin still cares about the old feelings, Zhang Liang has followed him for so many years, even if he is a dog, he has feelings, and Zhang Liang has never made any big mistakes in his life, not even small mistakes, the battle of Goguryeo, Zhang Liang made no big mistakes, so Li Shimin did not pursue it at the time, but by Li Hao's interpretation, Zhang Liang's fault is big, which makes Li Shimin very difficult.
Li Hao saw Li Shimin's hesitation, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Ming monarch should focus on the country, what the minister said, every sentence is true, the battle of Goguryeo, the battle of Youzhou, how many soldiers buried their bones on the battlefield, how many sons spilled their blood in vain, their mother sent the black-haired man, their wives waited for the husband's body, and even some people's bodies could not be found, so they could only hand back the relics home, how many families wept and wailed, all of this is thanks to Zhang Liang!" Zhang Liang didn't use a knife or a shot! actually killed tens of thousands of hot-blooded sons and daughters of my Tang Dynasty, how can such a useless person be allowed to occupy a high position and eat a vegetarian corpse! ”
In the end, he pointed at Zhang Liang with a feather fan, his momentum was incomparable, his eyes and words were like a sharp sword, with a heroic righteousness, extremely powerful, Zhang Liang was directly drunk by his words and sat on the ground, looked at Li Hao in horror, couldn't say a word, and the ministers and Li Shimin were also moved.
Li Hao's words deeply touched Li Shimin, and killed tens of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty without a single knife or shot, what a terrible thing this sounds like, a wise leader is so important to an army and a country, he finally let go of the selfishness in his heart, and said slowly: "Quasi-Li Hao played, Zhang Liang, the secretary of the ministry, took away all the titles, and took them into custody in the prison of Dali Temple, and Dali Temple thoroughly investigated all the evidence of his crimes, and then convicted him!" ”
Hearing this, the ministers were shocked, and the dignified Yun Guogong and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu were so knocked down by Li Hao? People just lack a little bit of ability when they are fighting, and they go to prison like this? They felt that their worldview was going to be turned upside down, Chu Suiliang wanted to come out to intercede, he first glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, only to see that the eldest grandson Wuji was still looking ahead, as if he hadn't heard anything, he hadn't seen anything, he was suddenly shaken, he had always only been the eldest grandson Wuji, but today the eldest grandson Wuji was motionless, as if he had left his soul at home before the court, his heart was beating, and then looking at Li Shimin's resolute attitude, he didn't dare to intercede, and finally he could only comfort himself in his heart: "That's it, that's it, Anyway, I don't have any friendship with Zhang Liang, so I don't want to shed this troubled water. ”
Chu Suiliang retracted the foot he had just stepped out of, and this action fell in the eyes of the ministers, the ministers secretly thought, why did Chu Suiliang want to ask for mercy but suddenly changed his mind, there must be something greasy in this, although other people also want to intercede, but thinking about Chu Suiliang's official position above them, they dare not intercede, they also changed their minds, everyone found that the wind direction in the court today is not ordinary weird, because Li Hao has been out of the limelight now, and the eldest grandson Wuji actually didn't say a word.
Soon Jin Wuwei came in and dragged Zhang Liang away, Zhang Liang screamed in despair, but no one paid attention to him, and when he was pulled to the palace gate, Zhang Liang began to scold Li Hao, and he scolded whatever was dirty, Li Hao shook the feather fan lightly and ignored it.
When Zhang Liang's scolding gradually faded away, Li Hao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Di Renjie of Dali Temple is very accurate in judging the case, and he has the means to solve the case. ”
Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Quasi-play!" ”
Li Hao's second letter passed smoothly, and the atmosphere in the Taiji Hall had reached an extremely strange level, the high-spirited Li Hao, the eldest grandson Wuji, who had been silent, and Li Shimin, who was extremely cooperative with Li Hao, these three people pressed on the chests of those opponents like three big stones, making them very uncomfortable.
At this time, Li Shimin picked up the third letter and said slowly: "This third letter is a poem, you can talk about it yourself." ”
"Yes!" Li Hao saluted and said loudly, "Minister, please immediately implement the new tax system to the whole country!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, Chu Suiliang couldn't help it anymore, and was the first to jump out and raise his voice to object: "Your Majesty, it was originally decided that this tax system would be tried in Guanzhong for one year, but now the one-year deadline has not yet arrived......"
Li Hao directly interrupted Chu Suiliang and said, "Chu Shilang said that he was joking, why did he set a one-year trial period in the first place?" ”
Chu Suiliang was appointed as the Huangmen Shilang, so Li Hao called him Chu Shilang, although the Huangmen Shilang did not have much power, but he had a great say in the government, so Chu Suiliang was qualified to speak on the tax system.
Chu Suiliang hurriedly said: "Naturally, I am afraid that the new tax system is not feasible and has drawbacks!" ”
Li Hao said: "The new tax system has been tried for half a year now, and Li Daozong, the head of the household department, is here, you might as well ask him, in the past six months, how much commercial tax has been collected." ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, looking at Li Hao's confident posture, it seems that the commercial taxes collected in the past six months are not low.
Chu Suiliang was also beating a drum in his heart, looking at Li Daozong, but he didn't dare to ask, he didn't dare to ask, but Li Shimin was very curious, he wanted to know how the new tax system was, so he asked: "Li Daozong, you come out and tell me, in the past six months, how much commercial tax has been levied in Guanzhong?" ”
Li Daozong came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, the commercial tax in July has not yet been reported to the household department, and from February to June, the total commercial tax collected by the Guannai Province is 685,600 yuan. ”
As soon as this number was reported, the ministers suddenly exclaimed, Li Shimin was also stunned, only five months, and it was just a Guan Nei Dao, and it was only a Guan Nei Dao, and the commercial tax was levied 680,000 yuan, what is this concept, it is already equivalent to one-third of the previous Datang annual tax, although Guan Nei Dao is the richest one in Datang, but this is too much, this Li Shimin is more convinced of what Li Hao said, the wealth of the world, gathered in the hands of businessmen, which immediately strengthened Li Shimin's determination to implement the new tax system.
The ministers knew that after this figure came out, the emperor would definitely implement a new tax system, but Chu Suiliangwu was unwilling and said loudly: "Even so...... Even so...... In the past six months, hundreds of shops and vendors in Chang'an have closed their doors because of commercial taxes......"
Li Hao interrupted him again and said: "Master Chu, why are they closed, haven't you thought about it, because their business is not good, they have been hanging so half-dead, lingering, wanting to close the door, reluctant, want to do a good business, they are not that piece of material, the new tax system has a great use, that is, to eliminate all those who are not good at doing business, they don't do business, naturally there are other businesses to do, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, now the agricultural product is so high, the agricultural tax has been reduced by half, They can go home to farm and make a steady profit, which is not in line with the original intention of my Datang to encourage farming. ”
Chu Suiliang was dumbfounded by his words, his mouth opened and closed several times, but he couldn't find a word to refute, and finally he was so angry that he stomped his feet and returned to the queue in frustration.
Seeing this, no one dared to come out to oppose it, after all, opposition needs a good reason, although the new tax system violates their interests, but in general terms, it is indeed a national policy that is beneficial to the country, and they really have no reason to oppose it, so they can only choose to remain silent.
Li Shimin was so happy, glanced at the ministers, and said slowly: "For the implementation of the new tax system, the secretary seems to have no objection, if so, then starting tomorrow, the new tax system will be implemented in the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Hao's third book also passed the test easily, the ministers suddenly felt a little chilly, they began to realize that Li Hao now is no longer something they can deal with, no wonder the eldest grandson Wuji has been silent today, they guessed, maybe even the eldest grandson Wuji began to fear Li Hao, if this is the case, what a terrible thing, and now Li Hao, above the court, is really calling for wind and rain, like the sun, the court of the Tang Dynasty, is about to change.
