Section 682 Cages
"The worries of the big farmer are indeed very reasonable!" After a moment of silence, Liu Che raised his head and praised with a slight smile.
"The minister didn't dare to ......" Fan Xun immediately prostrated on the ground, and used the most humble gesture to show that he was definitely not here to find fault: "It's just that as a minister, I just pick up and fill in the gaps for Your Majesty......"
It's the other ministers in the palace, who don't make a sound at the moment, all of them look at the nose and nose like a good baby, but secretly observe and watch Fan Xun closely.
Everyone wants to know whether the Son of Heaven really wants to 'open up his speech' today or just want to be a show.
Only by establishing this foundation can they better take sides and make selections.
As soon as he saw this situation, Liu Che shook his head in his heart and smiled bitterly.
This is the after-effect of the series of princes last fall.
Ministers, it's starting to be smooth.
Or, to be more precise: these guys finally face up to Liu Che as a genius, and no longer see him as a young man who can be fooled.
Regarding this situation, Liu Che didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"Give a horse to the big farmer to praise his straightforward advice!" Liu Che gave an order to Wang Dao, and told the ministers with practical actions: I am not joking with you, don't worry about bold direct advice, put forward opinions, and even criticize!
Anyway, the Shuowang Dynasty has always been the place of the mouth cannon.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Fan Xun heard this, he immediately thanked him.
When the other ministers saw this, they also put their hearts back in their stomachs.
Some people even thought in their hearts: "Your Majesty, this is what you have made us say boldly......"
Gall slightly instantaneous MAX.
"As for Zhongcheng's worries, there is no need to worry......" Liu Che said to Fan Xun with a smile.
Back to it. Liu Che instructed Shang Shu Ling, who had been standing beside him, "Shang Shu Ling, announce the edict!" β
"No!" Ji Di solemnly bowed. Then, respectfully from a jade box. Take out a silk book that has been prepared long ago.
Holding this silk book, Ji Di slowly walked to the top of the imperial steps, his eyes were straight, and he meticulously spread out the silk book.
"Your Majesty's edict, the ministers listen!" Ji Di said loudly.
As a result, among the ministers, except for a few giants who knew what was going to happen, most of them were ignorant and followed the others to the ground: "The ministers respect the holy order!" β
Ji Di lowered his head and looked at the silk book that he was familiar with and could not be more familiar.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The Legalist thought in this edict. It's almost like breaking through the constraints of words and jumping into this world to make waves.
It's just that......
Even so, Ji Di is still crazy about these words.
Why?
Ji Di once quietly took part of the draft of this edict to consult his wife's grandfather, Zhang Wuhou of the Han Dynasty.
After reading it, Zhang Wuhou gave Ji Di a sentence: It is not surprising that this method decorates "poems" and "books".
Zhang Wuhou didn't think it was surprising, but for Ji Di, it was equivalent to opening the door to a whole new world for him.
Ji Di suddenly discovered: There are really many common languages between Huang Lao Wuwei and the Sect of Exhaustion.
If the dispute can be set aside. Progress together.
Then in the political arena of the Han family, who can resist the power of the unity of Huang Lao and the Legalists?
He took a deep breath, squeezed out some of the messy thoughts in his mind, and read according to the content of the silk book in a gloomy voice: "I inherited the last order of the emperor." Won the Baozong Temple, with a small body, entrusted to the kings of the world. It's been more than three years now. I am not sensitive, and I can't be far away. It is a foreign country, or it is not at peace. Outside the four wildernesses, uneasy about their lives......"
The beginning of this edict is plain and unremarkable, and it is no different from most of the edicts of the emperors of the Han dynasty in the past.
Ji Di paused slightly, seemed to take a breath, straightened his waist straighter, and continued to recite: "I am not virtuous, often afraid of the line, to shame the first emperor to leave virtue, is to taste the three provinces of his body, simple clothes, save cars and horses, rejuvenate education, establish Gantang, Wuyuan, Taixue, Chongwubei, Lai Qunchen efforts, God favors, the sea is leveled, there is a military revolution!" β
"Today's stability is stable, the sea is peaceful, and I only think about the difficulties of the people! The poem says: Worry is miserable, and thinking of the country is abuse. Ji Di continued to read: "He ordered the prime minister Yafu, and the court lieutenant and the minister Yu, etc., to participate in the gains and losses of the previous generations, neutralize the public order and good customs, and make the "Tax Law" to dedicate to me. β
When Ji Di finished reading the last word, the entire Xuanshu Hall immediately fell into a deathly silence.
This edict, all the words in front of it, are basically nonsense, and the key is in the last sentence.
He ordered the prime minister and Tingwei to take the lead in forming a working group for the codification of tax laws in the Han Dynasty.
It's not a big deal.
The Han family has been in the Han Dynasty for so many years, and the decrees pushed out and the revised laws can add up to pave the streets of the entire Chang'an.
However, in the end, the eight words 'the county officials levy the levy, and the law must be followed' detonated almost everyone's passion in an instant.
The so-called county officials refer to the emperor and the state.
And the meaning of these eight words is naturally easy to understand.
The meaning of this edict issued by Liu Che is that I will appoint the prime minister and the court commander to preside over and edit a law on taxation, and from now on, if the government wants to impose any additional tax, it must first enact a supporting law, otherwise, it cannot be added.
In the face of this edict, the Legalist smiled.
Because the Legalists feel that they have already grasped the initiative.
Huang Lao Pai also laughed, because Huang Lao Pai felt that this was their victory.
What Huang Lao is most afraid of is a new idea a day above, so they will be tired, now it's okay, a "Tax Law" can be the foundation, and there is no need to worry about these trivial matters in the future, just follow the rules.
As for Confucianism, he couldn't stop laughing.
Because, the Son of Heaven made a cage for himself and then got into it himself.
Although this cage doesn't even put a piece of paper, it is purely made of air, and the Son of Heaven only needs to be cheeky, and no one can help him.
But it's also a great victory, a great progress!
Think about it, how many Confucians died in order to put the emperor in a papier-mΓ’chΓ© cage? How many people are crazy? In the end, he didn't finish it, but took himself to the ditch.
Now the emperor himself has woven a chain for himself.
Where would Confucianism object?
All four limbs are lifted in support!
Liu Che looked at Fan Xun with a smile and said, "Qing should rest assured now!" β
Does he dare not be at ease?
Although as an old treasurer, Fan Xun feels that this matter is not so simple, but the Son of Heaven has made such a big sacrifice, and when a courtier has to pick a bone in the egg, that is, to find death.
Besides, the training is just a reminder out of professional ethics.
"What's Qing's second concern?" Liu Che asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, the descendants of the market, shall not be eunuchs......" Fan Xun kowtowed: "This is also the ancestral system, but ......"
All right......
Liu Che also understood in an instant. (To be continued.) )
