"Let Zhao Kuangyi go to Yingchang?" In the Chui Gong Hall, Emperor Liu looked interested and looked at Zhao Pu, who was sitting beside him, and asked, "Whose suggestion is this?"
Zhao Pu slightly cupped his hands and replied: "It's His Highness the King of Jin's suggestion!"
"That's right!" Emperor Liu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "The Zhao and Li families have always had a close relationship. Zhao Kuangyi and Li Shouyuan are still uncle-nephew in terms of seniority. With him to mediate, the effect should be better than anyone else's.
Furthermore, in the past few months, Zhao Kuangyi has been somewhat silent in the court. He had many suggestions on the restructuring before, but now he is silent. We can take this opportunity to see what his attitude is!"
There was a sense of "speculation" in Emperor Liu's words. Zhao Pu did not continue, but complimented him in a very useless way: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Liu waved his hand and said quietly: "I have heard some rumors recently, saying that there is Pan You in Gyeonggi and Zheng Qi in Henan. Both of them are old ministers in the south of the Yangtze River, but in Daozhou in the Central Plains, they have arbitrary power and show off their power.
Some people say that the imperial court would rather trust ministers from the south of the Yangtze River and entrust them with important tasks than use the wise ministers from the north...Has Zhao Qing ever heard of these remarks?"
After hearing the question, Zhao Pu immediately accompanied him and said: "The old minister has heard about this, but it is just a few gossips, which is not enough. If there is criticism, there has never been less discussion between the government and the public. When the restructuring is a major matter, there is only a little discussion.
It won’t affect the overall reform situation, so don’t worry too much!”
Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu smiled coldly: "Zhao Qing is open-minded, and he is worthy of the Prime Minister's evaluation. However, these comments are not just complaints, I just feel that they are heart-breaking!"
Those who say these words are creating conflicts, emphasizing the distinction between north and south, and deliberately destroying the unity of the court. The land is divided into north and south, but aren't all people subjects of the Han Dynasty? Could it be that the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty were only northerners and ministers from the south?
Are they all traitors and traitors?
Jiangnan has been pacified for more than 20 years, but there are still people who stir up trouble and confuse people's hearts based on the differences between the north and the south. These people are the thieves and the traitors hiding in the Han Dynasty!
If these people with ulterior motives are not punished, how can they make it known to the world and calm people's hearts! If there are problems with the system, it can be changed, but if people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to deal with it!"
"According to your Majesty's wishes?" Seeing that Emperor Liu took this matter so seriously, Zhao Pu cooperated and asked for instructions.
"The Imperial City Division has submitted a list to me, and Zhao Qing will identify the areas, search according to the map, and deal with those who show off their wisdom as women!" Emperor Liu directly ordered.
"yes!"
Zhao Pu agreed simply and without any doubts. He was also dissatisfied with these remarks. After all, there were many people who attacked him, Zhao Pu. Whether it was Pan You or Zheng Qi, they were all recommended by Zhao Pu.
Pan You doesn't need to say more. Zheng Qi was also the newly promoted reform general after he returned to the prime minister. He served as the deputy chief envoy of Henan Province and assisted Li Fang in implementing reforms. Well, Li Fang, let him take charge of the overall situation and coordinate personnel. It's okay.
Let him do things boldly, but the shortcomings are still too obvious, just like the mother-in-law.
Therefore, it has been known as the "Strength Order" since the Jiangnan period. After serving as a Han Dynasty, it remained true to its original intention, was upright and upright, and was not afraid of the powerful. It was famous and even spread to the ears of Emperor Liu. And at the time of the Jinling Memorial Ceremony
After the surrender, the prince presided over the aftermath, and Zheng Qi was also one of the best in the screening of Jiangnan surrender officials. After all, given the chaotic political ecology of Jiangnan at the time, it was rare for Zheng Qi to be invited to do so.
It is also easy to fall into the eyes of the Han court.
In the tense political atmosphere of the Han Dynasty in recent years, it is also very important that Zheng Qi can stand firm and even rise step by step. When the tide of tax reform rolls in, some people are drowned in the waves, while others face it head-on.
Surging and actively making waves, Zheng Qi is obviously one of the representative ones.
When he took office in Henan Province, Zheng Qi also set off a trend of reform. Likewise, he could not avoid tormenting those bureaucrats. The most criticized point was that after the new system was promulgated, Zheng Qi asked state and county bureaucrats to
Fully study the regulations of the new system and understand the court's reform intentions. They are required to memorize relevant provisions and undergo regular inspections. Those who fail to pass the test will be demoted in mild cases and dismissed from office in more serious cases.
Learning first, then implementing policies, Zheng Qi can be regarded as leading a new trend in the implementation of Han policy... But it is not so friendly to those bureaucrats, and Zheng Qi is naturally targeted and criticized.
.
As for Zhao Pu, targeting the two of them is not targeting him, Mr. Zhao. Although it can be regarded as the barking of dogs and the moaning of flies, the boredom in his heart is certain. Emperor Liu is determined to rectify it, so Zhao Pu naturally cannot object.
After saying this, Emperor Liu pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Pu with interest, and asked: "Zhao Qing has been presiding over the tax reform work for such a long time. What considerations does he have about these things that have been exposed?"
After hearing the question, Zhao Pu thought about it for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of an experienced minister, the emergence of these problems just shows that the reform of the imperial court has made progress and has touched the root of the problem, otherwise there would not have been such a big response.
At this time, it is even more important to strengthen our will, continue to implement the reform, provide strong support to reform officials in various places, and crack down on those who delay or even conspire to resist. At the same time, we must strengthen inspections and supervision to firmly control the reform process..."
"Since Zhao Qing has already made a plan, then go ahead and do it according to your ideas! I still say the same thing and fully support it!" Emperor Liu expressed his stance.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!" Zhao Pu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and paid homage.
Seeing this, Emperor Liu slowly arranged the memorials on the imperial case and continued to ask as if chatting: "The most important thing right now is the inventory of the land. Many problems have been exposed. Gyeonggi Province and the two
Fighting is the manifestation. Concealment, concealment, transactions and even gifts are all available. Does the central government have any consideration for these phenomena? "
After hearing the question, Zhao Pu thought for a while, but still looked calm: "I believe that the land is always there. No matter what method is used, once it is exposed and seen through, it will be found out sooner or later. It just takes time. The court must be on guard."
, or the local government is not cooperating and is colluding privately..."
Emperor Liu nodded, suddenly sat up, and his whole state changed. There was a hint of curiosity in his tone: "I heard that Zhengzhou has taken the lead in tax reform. This autumn tax, subordinates'
Yuanwu County implemented the new system in accordance with the regulations?"
Mentioning this, Mr. Zhao Pu also showed a satisfied expression on his face, nodded and said: "I have to say that Li Hang, the governor of the state, gave the court a surprise. Although it is currently limited to Yuanwu County, the things exposed in it are very important.
