Chapter 495 The truth is a disaster!

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The first court meeting after the New Year finally began.

This is also the first time that Yun Chu has attended the first court meeting after the New Year, so Yun Chu is not very familiar with the matter of giving great gifts.

Well, take one step forward, then two steps back, and then two steps forward. At the same time, you must wave your sleeves to let the back hem of the robe fly up, and the front hem must be tightly suppressed by the jade pendant that suppresses the front hem, otherwise

Even if it's rude.

This court meeting required kneeling and worshiping, but according to the explanation in "Yonghui Law", it was not the emperor but the emperor who knelt down, and it was only once a year.

Li Zhi sat motionless at the top, even the drooping bead curtain on the crown of heaven did not move at all. He really looked like a god.

This kind of dance takes three times to complete, and Yun Chu danced very seriously.

If you don't take it seriously, he is now a Marquis. When he went to court, he was ranked in the front, alongside the imperial censor.

Today, the imperial censor has to dance and monitor the officials at the same time. If he is found out today, he will be the first official to be dealt with in the third year of Xianqing. He will be reported to the imperial court and eventually be punished by officials all over the world.

Know.

According to past laws and regulations, any official in the capital who gets into trouble on this day will definitely be sent to a very bad place to suffer.

Fortunately, Yun Chu's body coordination was relatively good, and he was finally able to overcome this hurdle.

Because he was the Marquis, Yun Chu could see very clearly that Changsun Wuji, who was standing at the front, didn't dance well, and even swayed casually. Li Ji, who was beside him, didn't seem to dance well either, and was just doing it casually.

Just pretend to be prevaricating.

Not only the two of them, but the officials in the first three rows seemed to be showing off. It seemed that they were very disgusted with dancing for Li Zhi.

It is not impossible that some of the big guys are good at dancing. For example, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu are very good at dancing.

Just after the ceremony, when all the ministers were greeting each other in the main hall and congratulating each other on all the best in the new year, Xu Jingzong left the class with a gloomy face to start the performance.

"Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong impeaches Han Wei, the Minister of Punishment, for his perfunctory etiquette and disrespect for God and Your Majesty.

At the same time, Wei Chen suspected that Han Ai was colluding with Chu Suiliang to trap His Majesty in an unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial place."

After saying this, under the gaze of everyone, he took out a memorial from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and quietly waited for the censor to take it away.

Upon hearing Xu Jingzong's reasons for impeaching him, Han Ai, the Minister of Punishment, could only chuckle and said: "Chu Suiliang, the governor of Aizhou, has died while serving in Aizhou. Is Xu Shizhong saying that I am colluding with a dead man?"

Xu Jingzong saw that the memorial had been taken away by the censor and presented to the emperor.

He said to Han Ai, "I heard that there is a person who looks exactly like Chu Suiliang in your house. I also heard that it is this person who looks exactly like Chu Suiliang who left his writings everywhere in Chang'an and made it his mission to criticize His Majesty's benevolence and filial piety. Han Ai

, as His Majesty’s subject, don’t you feel ashamed?”

Han Yan laughed and said, "The man who looks exactly like Chu Suiliang is in my palace. Xu Shizhong might as well summon him to see if he is real or fake. There seem to be some relatives of Chu Suiliang in this court."

If you are a kind person, you might as well ask them to identify who this person who looks exactly like Chu Suiliang is."

./Net\./Home\./Post…

Without waiting for Xu Jingzong's reply, Li Yifu stepped forward and held Wuban in his hands and said, "I agree with Xu Shizhong's words. Han Yan does have disobedient intentions."

While he was talking, he took out a memorandum from his pocket and held it in his hand, letting the censor take it away and present it to the emperor.

There was silence in the main hall, and Han Yan looked at Emperor Li Zhi expectantly. He still believed that Chu Suiliang was dealt with extremely unfairly, and he also believed from the bottom of his heart that the emperor should not have sent Chu Suiliang to death so unconscionably.

Perhaps he had put life and death out of his mind a long time ago. Han Ai took a step forward with Wu Ban in hand and said, "Chu Suiliang was entrusted by the late emperor to always be single-minded and never have two minds.

In the past, I was extremely sincere in discussing matters. How could I be willing to let your Majesty's virtues fall behind those of Yao and Shun, and let your Majesty's mistakes remain in the annals of history like dust?"

Li Zhi's

He looked away from the memorial and looked at Han Yan who said plainly, "I already know Chu Suiliang's feelings.

If he disobeys and is prone to wrongdoing, I will punish him. Is there anything wrong with him?"

Han Yan said in a trembling voice, "A person is not dead, but everyone in the world knows that he is dead. This is a great shame and humiliation for him.

Unexpectedly, his loyalty was deeply slandered, resulting in ugly words, which made the strong man feel sad and harmed His Majesty's god..."

Yun Chu's position in the Tai Chi Hall was in the ninth row, which could not be considered forward or backward. He did not pay attention to what happened in the main hall.

In fact, there was no use listening to it. Today was originally the last confrontation between the emperor and Chu Suiliang and Han Ai, the two people who originally opposed his establishment.

The outcome of the confrontation must be Han Ai and Chu Suiliang's misfortune, and there will be no variables. I have only seen this confrontation in history books before, and it was written clearly in the history books.

After Han Ai and Chu Suiliang were punished by the emperor, history records that since the deaths of Han Ai and Chu Suiliang, remonstrance was taboo inside and outside the court for twenty years.

At the end of the Great Chao Festival, the sun had just emerged.

The final result of the matter was that Han Ai was demoted as the governor of Zhenzhou. As for the Chu Suiliang that Han Ai kept saying was naturally a fake, the emperor showed mercy and expelled this fake Chu Suiliang from Chang'an.

When leaving the imperial city, Yun Chu was still picking his ears because Han Yan's last words were very harsh.

So Yunchu made up his mind not to tell Li Zhi a word of truth from now on, because the price of telling the truth was too high.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are always the biggest business.

These businesses should not be left entirely in private hands.

However, there is no prohibition in the "Yonghui Law", so Yunchu cannot use official means to capture all these businesses in the hands of the government.

However, in the three industries of salt, iron and wine, which Yunchu thought were completely open to business, the court was very strict with them.

In the past, there was only salt and iron, which was a business sold by officials. It was not until the third year of Xianqing that the wine business was taken over by the emperor.

From now on, all distilled koji can only be produced by the government, private koji is not allowed to be produced privately. Violators will be severely punished, or sent to the Western Regions to guard the border.

Yunchu knew that the emperor wanted to take back the iron belonging to the Changsun family, as well as the salt and salted fish controlled by many big families.

Liquor is something that comes with it. To be precise, the emperor just couldn't stand the fact that the Yun family earned huge profits every year by brewing anti-virus drugs...

Yun Chu even believed that this was a sign that the emperor was going to treat him like a child. If Yun Chu was sensible, he would quickly hand over the brewing process of the anti-virus medicine and let the court operate it. In this way, the Yun family might still have a little bit of hope.

The benefits can be passed down to future generations.

Allowing the Yun family to monopolize important materials such as brewing anti-virus drugs for six full years, and allowing the Yun family to make shady money on this matter for six years, was already a concession given by the imperial court in the face of the old god.

If the anti-virus drug has nothing to do with the old immortal, Yun's being able to monopolize the exclusive sales rights for two years would be considered a blessing from the emperor.

Now the emperor wants to truly make salt and iron a state-owned enterprise and not give private individuals any chance. This is not out of selfish grudges, but out of righteousness.

The Ministry of Revenue knew who could be the owner of the anti-toxic medicine, so the document was given to the old immortal, who then sent a Taoist boy to deliver the document to Yun Chu.

Yunchu didn't waste any time, and directly took out the secret recipe for making anti-virus medicine and gave it to the little Taoist boy. Then the little Taoist boy left for a while and came back from the household department, and gave Yunchu a document. The document said that Yun's family can still do it in the future.

For brewing antiseptics, the quantity is limited to 10,000 jars, and the base wine used for distillation is provided by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Therefore, after Yunchu handed over the secret recipe of the anti-virus drug, his income not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

Yunchu was willing to regard these benefits as the old god's face.

Since the Liaodong War, Datang's views on neighboring countries and tribes have changed greatly.

In the past, there might have been some subsidies for those Jisi countries and Jisi tribes, or even benefits such as exemption from tax rates.

No more now, those countries

Not only did the tribes have to pay tribute according to the list established by the Tang Dynasty, but when those foreign merchants entered the Tang Dynasty to do business, they were also taxed heavily.

Because the high officials in the court finally understood one thing, the Tang Dynasty was the country with the lowest taxes on foreign merchants in the world.

Those merchants who brought the goods from the Tang Dynasty often earned a sky-high price when they returned to their hometown.

When Emperor Taizong first ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty was in dire straits. At that time, the Tang Dynasty needed allies, so at some point, Tuyuhun, Xueyantuo, Turks, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Japan, and Tubo all existed as allies.

of.

Now, Datang has become extremely powerful, so it does not need allies, and a truly powerful country does not need allies.

When there are no external troubles, it is time for Li Zhi to eliminate the internal troubles.

In early January of the third year of Xianqing, Li Zhi issued an order to exempt Hebei Province from money and food for three years in order to reward the people of Hebei Province for their support to the Tang army during the Liaodong War.

In February of the third year of Xianqing, Li Zhi issued an order to exempt Hedong Road from money and grain for two years, hoping to achieve the purpose of hiding wealth and benefiting the people.

At the same time, Li Yifu was dispatched as the deposed envoy of Hebei Province, with full authority to handle all matters in Hebei Province.

Unlike the rumblings in the court, the people of Wannian County and Chang'an County were living extremely happily.

Because Wannian County has further relaxed the curfew order of cities and towns, from the date of the promulgation of the "Wannian County and Chang'an County County and City Management Regulations", adjacent cities and towns are allowed to open holes in the walls of the cities and connect adjacent cities.

The cities and towns are connected, allowing people in neighboring cities and towns to move around freely.

The first cities to respond to this policy were commercial cities such as West City, East City, Jinchangfang, Guangfufang, and Pingkangfang.

This resulted in the commercial operation time of Chang'an City being extended.

Li Zhi, who likes to overlook Chang'an City, is also very satisfied. Finally, his city is no longer pitch black at night, but has a few dazzling lights.

These lights were approved by Li Zhi, so he was quite proud.
