Weng Yanguo was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he was a little overwhelmed by the sudden outburst in Zhao Guan's family.

Weng Yanguo paused and immediately forced himself to calm down. He said: "Your Majesty, I am here. I don't know what I said wrongly, which offended Long Yan. Please make it clear to your Majesty."

"You want to make it clear?"

"I am stupid."

"If you are stupid, the tax on Huaixi is only a million dan?" Zhao Ning sarcastically said without mercy, "I wish you were more stupid!"

"I am guilty!" Weng Yanguo immediately knelt down again, "In the third year of Jingkang's reign, the Huaixi summer tax was only one million dan. It is my fault. Please punish me!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that His Majesty the Emperor was still angry about the summer tax in Huaixi last year.

Then what did you say just now that the common people are blocking the fight against gold?

Did Weng Yanguo obstruct the resistance against Jin?

The taxes in Huaixi Xia are indeed a bit low, but the problem is that this is not the fault of Weng Yanguo alone.

Summer taxes on all roads have dropped significantly.

Zhao Guanjia, it is a bit unreasonable for you to blame Weng Yanguo.

If you accuse Weng Yanguo today, wouldn't all the other transport envoys be guilty?

Shao Pu, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"explain."

"I agree with the two reasons that Weng Cao mentioned just now for the reduction of summer taxes in Huaixi. The reason why I agree is because the reduction of summer taxes has also occurred in other areas."

Other ministers also started discussing.

Apparently many people feel that Huaixi’s tax reduction last summer is excusable.

Several prime ministers stood there and did not express their opinions for a while.

During this period, people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Su Provincial Yuan were inspecting fields, checking accounts, and fighting corruption in Huaixi, which caused ups and downs in the Tokyo court.

The land inspection involved the New Dealers, and then involved the struggle between the conservatives and the New Dealers.

The Zhao Guan family blamed Weng Yanguo for low taxes in Huaixi summer last year. As soon as this topic was brought up in court, it immediately became complicated.

It is definitely not an issue about the Huaixixia tax, but a struggle between the New Dealers and the conservatives.

This kind of struggle is not limited to the court, local factions have also begun to divide.

Shao Pu took the opportunity to continue: "Not only did the people sent by Qian Shilang to Huaixi fail to find out anything, but they caused a lot of trouble for Huaixi's government affairs, making people panic and damaging the emperor's holy name."

In one sentence, Shao Pu brought the core point of the incident from the issue of low taxes to the conflicts caused by the Ministry of Household Affairs going to Huaixi to inspect taxes.

This technique of conflict transfer first draws an objective-sounding conclusion to the previous controversy, and then extends it to the recent events that everyone is paying attention to based on this incident, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Shao Pu is definitely a master of field control.

And what he said about Qian Shilang was Qian Gai, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of national household registration, land, government orders, tribute, conscription, etc.

There is one Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and one Minister Cao on the left and one on the right.

The left Cao is in charge of household registration, taxes, land tribute, levy and other matters, while the right Cao is in charge of Changping, exemption from service, Baojia, free warehouses and other matters.

After Yuanfeng's restructuring, the three divisions were abolished, the Du branch, and the salt and iron departments were returned to the household department.

Strictly speaking, the Household Department officials who went to Huaixi this time were selected and sent out by Zuo Shilang Qian Gai.

Shao Pu stood up and said these words, obviously because he had political disagreements with Qian Gai, a New Dealer and a conservative.

Li Chunyou, the Minister of Civil Affairs, also took the opportunity to stand up. He said in a tone filled with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, I think that the most important thing at the moment is to find out the death of Wang Jing, the magistrate of Luzhou. The imperial official was forced to hang himself. What happened to him during his lifetime?"

What kind of humiliation do you have to commit suicide to show your ambition!"

If the people sent by Shao Pu to raise money not only failed to find anything, but also affected Huaixi's government affairs, which was a direct attack on the New Deal faction, then Li Chunyou's mention of Wang Jing added fuel to the fire of Huaixi's land inspection.

, in today's court, Wang Jing's death was used to make the matter bigger.

In short, they all have only one purpose: to kill the New Dealers!

"Some officials have abused their power to a heinous level. If this trend is not strictly curbed, it will damage the imperial court!" Li Chunyou continued to say sonorously.

"Some people use the name of the New Deal to act arbitrarily, listen to different opinions, and use their power to bully colleagues when discussing matters, forcing colleagues to death, ignoring Your Majesty! As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, I assist Your Majesty in rectifying the administration of officials, and it is my duty to do so!"

Qian Gai, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came out and said: "There is no conclusion yet on Wang Jing's death. The Ministry of Punishment has opened a case for investigation. I think it is not appropriate to talk about it in the court today."

"If such a big matter is not discussed in the court, why should we continue to drag it out!" Li Chunyou's saliva almost sprayed into Qian Gai's face, "If another official in Huaixi hangs himself, wouldn't it mean that the world will be in chaos!

Who can bear this responsibility?"

Shao Pu and Li Chunyou stepped forward one after another, deflecting conflicts and inflaming the atmosphere. What they said sounded very reasonable, making it impossible to refute.

Other conservative officials are apparently eager to try.

Zhao Ning said: "What I mentioned was the taxation matter in Huaixi. Why did you never mention the taxation matter when I came here?"

Shao Pu immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have no objection to punishing Weng Yanguo, but if this is the case, the taxes owed by each road and the transfer envoys must also be punished, in order to convince people's hearts!"

Li Chunyou also followed up and said: "If your Majesty wants to rectify the tax system, you must first rectify the court regulations. Officials will die in vain and people will be panicked. If you don't rectify the court regulations, the tax system will not be rectified."

Look, the officials of the Song Dynasty are more powerful than the others.

Do you think this is nonsense?

This is not just nonsense, there is skill and logic in it.

Therefore, if there is no ironclad evidence and the time has not come yet, if you want to arrest and punish people just by talking about it, let alone the conservatives who are dissatisfied, I am afraid that the New Dealers will lose confidence in Zhao Guan's family.

Of course, Zhao Ning is not the kind of person who just opens his mouth.

"Okay! What you said is good! Straighten the court and win the hearts of the people!" Zhao Ning stood up, walked down, walked to the kneeling Weng Yanguo, and walked around him.

Weng Yanguo said respectfully: "If your majesty thinks that I am at fault, please remove me. I will never dare to complain at all."

"If I say that you are dismissed now, wouldn't they be convinced?" Zhao Ning showed a sneer on his face, "Wouldn't the officials who have been drinking and writing lyrics with you these days also be convinced?"

"Wouldn't it be that the officials who entertained you on your way to Beijing would be even less convinced?"

"If I cannot convince the world, how can I unite all parties to jointly fight against gold?"

Weng Yanguo buried his head and stopped talking, but he was saying in his heart: Official, it would be great if you knew!

"So, I want to kill you! I also want to convince everyone in the world and everyone in this court. Do you think I can do it?"

"Your Majesty is the most respected person in the world. He follows the law as he says. As long as His Majesty gives an order, I will immediately take off my official hat and official robe. No one in the world dares to be unconvinced."

"If that's the case, wouldn't the people in the world think that I went to investigate Huaixi and went my own way?"

Weng Yanguo said: "I don't dare!"
