Section 717 Untitled
Entering May, Chang'an City is full of lights and a celebratory atmosphere.
The Empress Dowager of the East Palace is approaching, and as the Han family that advertises 'ruling the world with filial piety', this is of course a great celebration.
What's more, this year is the 40th birthday of the Empress Dowager Bo of the East Palace.
It's time to celebrate.
The prime minister and the imperial historian united with the ministers and held a concert, asking the Son of Heaven to let the subjects of the world also feel the festive atmosphere on such a festive festival, and jointly pray for the queen mother and celebrate her birthday.
In fact, the subtext is - Your Majesty, it has been a long time since you have been exempted from land tax and given a knighthood.
Let's make a wave!
The people of the world are all supporting the exemption of land tax.
But the main force of real support was the scholars who represented the interests of the landlord class.
Do you think, once the field tax is exempted, who will benefit in the end?
Ordinary people?
Hehe......
If the land tax is exempted, can the landlord's land rent be exempted?
Perhaps, people may be able to use this as an excuse to collect more rent!
Therefore, the group that really benefits must at least be a yeoman farmer.
And the biggest benefit, of course, is the big landlord who owns a lot of land!
Especially after the promulgation of the "Peaceful Law", the landlord class in the world really faced Chang'an, bowed three times, and sang the praises of our emperor Shengming, the reign of the holy monarch, and the clear Haiyan River.
The land of the nouveau riche merchants was forced to resell under excessive taxes and stricter restrictions.
If you don't resell it, you can't do it, and the tax burden is five times greater, so that unless Yuan Da Druid ends up, any merchant wants to farm. will only lose money.
And buying and selling at a loss, no businessman will do.
Even if Yuan Da Druid crossed. It is estimated that they can't play the landlords who compete unequally.
In such a situation, Xiaomin also took a breath of relief.
Because. Merchants sold land in large quantities, even at the price of a jump.
So that some small people who have saved a little money can also buy a dozen or dozens of acres, and develop from pure tenant farmers to semi-tenant farmers and semi-self-cultivated farmers.
Even the bitter days are better.
After a big meal, the landlords were a little more frustrated, and they no longer oppressed and oppressed them as they did in the past.
As for the golden wave in Huaihua, you say?
I'm so sorry.
At this time, information was blocked, and most of the rural areas were in a period when chickens and dogs heard each other and did not get along with each other.
Except for the rangers and heroes in the city. Only those who were forced to go into the city to find a way to survive could hear about it.
Some places, even the county seats, are ignorant of what happened in Huaihua.
Except for the officials of the county government who learned the relevant information from the Di Bao, even the local gentry were still in the dark.
Even, in some areas that are too remote, it is still not known that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, once launched a rebellion, and the emperor of the Han family almost changed his bloodline.
This is also the current situation in China today.
In addition to the straight passage through the city and on both sides of the great river. An important transportation hub city in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
The circulation of information spreads at a turtle speed.
In addition to major policies related to their own interests, there are also major events such as the old emperor hanging up and the new emperor ascending the throne.
Other things can only be to let the bullets fly for another three or five years. In some cases, it may even fly for more than a decade.
However, at this time, Liu Che was a little depressed.
Liu Che was depressed by two things.
First. Some guys in the South are really underdrawn!
Recently, with the birthday of the Empress Dowager Bo approaching. A crooked wind also blew from the south to Chang'an.
Liu Che's uncles and aunts or something. It seems to be a little restless.
Or rather, some people made them restless.
Therefore, there are a few mouths in the public opinion circles that are shouting nonsense: 'The first concubine (Su Shi) gave birth to His Majesty and Huainan (Liu Rong) and Jiangdu (Liu Yan) meritorious Sheji, and it is appropriate to posthumously be crowned as the queen mother, and the queen mother's system should be used to raise the mausoleum to join the ancestral system of the Han family'.
Seriously, they're not wrong.
To be reasonable, Su can indeed be posthumously crowned as the queen mother.
But the problem is, now the Empress Dowager Bo is still alive!
After the Su family, how do you let the Empress Dowager Bo deal with herself?
I didn't see Taizong's biological mother, so the Empress Dowager Bo could only go to Nanling and face Emperor Taizu Gao across the river?
Moreover, the death of the cheap mother is unknown.
If she is posthumously crowned as the queen mother, then this history book will ask "What is the cause of death of the filial piety emperor Empress Dowager Su?" ”
Then the emperor's father is afraid that he will be criticized by future generations for a thousand years.
As a son and heir, Liu Che, the emperor, may not be much better.
There is also a key question - the Su family and the Bo family, who will go to Yangling to accompany the first emperor?
Which of these questions is easy to deal with?
Therefore, Liu Che simply threw it aside, too lazy to deal with these guys.
Anyway, they just jumped, and when they jumped enough, they found that the emperor didn't pay attention, and they would automatically stop.
But Liu Che doesn't care, it doesn't mean that Donggong doesn't care.
The Empress Dowager Bo of the East Palace is a person who wants to save face, has a weak personality, and cares about public opinion.
After hearing about these discussions, he proposed to Liu Che that he wanted to move out of the East Palace and go to Yangling to guard the tomb of the first emperor.
How can this work?
spread out, Liu Che was about to be branded as 'ungrateful' and 'mean'.
What's more, Empress Dowager Bo is in the East Palace, how much can balance the Dou family, and can also let the Dou family's relatives settle down in the court.
Otherwise, the Empress Dowager Dou will not be punished, and there will be a Empress Dowager Bo who can lock them up in a small black house.
Therefore, Liu Che took a lot of effort to appease the Empress Dowager Bo.
If this matter just made Liu Che feel uncomfortable.
Then there was another thing that made Liu Che feel very angry.
What happened in the Xiongnu, a few days ago, through Yunzhong County, came to Chang'an.
After Liu Che read the report, he almost had a stomachache when he laughed at first.
The military minister actually learned from him and played a copycat?
This made Liu Che really laugh.
Sticks aren't easy to pretend!
This is a double-edged sword, if you pretend to be successful, like Liu Che, from one victory to another, it will naturally be able to unite people's hearts, unite domestic factions and various interest groups, and strengthen centralized power at the same time.
However, if there is a setback, such as a serious military defeat.
Then, the emperor's new clothes will be seen through by everyone.
At the same time, because Emperor Shan Yuor, who was blessed by God and ancestors, was also defeated, does this prove that there is something wrong with our culture, system, religion, and even race? ’
And once such doubts arise, then this nation and this country will also be doomed.
Once the seeds of self-doubt are planted, they inevitably produce the fruit of 'inferiority'.
And Liu Che had no doubt that a few years later, when the Han army came out of the fortress, the Huns would inevitably meet the fact that they would break their heads.
But......
Although Liu Che sees it this way.
But the courtiers and the public opinion did not see it that way.
When these guys heard that Xiongnu Shan Yu had also received the blessing of the gods, they immediately panicked.
Confidence in the victory of the Xiongnu war also declined as a result, and some guys simply jumped back to become masters and factions.
This made Liu Che really depressed, and he really had the urge to arrest these guys and educate them well! (To be continued.) )
