After saying that, Chen Guiyi looked at the officials, felt contented, and said loudly: "We, the Chinese people, have regarded their fields as their lifeblood since ancient times. Even if they die from poverty and exhaustion, they are not willing to sell their fields. This sentence must have made all my colleagues
There should be no objection.
And I have said before that at the beginning of the country, local powerful people rarely had thousands of acres of fertile land. But now, they have one hundred thousand acres, two hundred thousand acres, three hundred thousand acres, or even one million acres.
There are countless tycoons. On one side, the common people would rather die than sell their fields, but on the other side, the number of tycoons’ fields is increasing rapidly. So how did they get their fields? Who can answer me!"
"this."
Yuan Shao and others were at a loss for words. Naturally, the powerful land was obtained through cleverness and plunder. Everyone was well aware of the intrigues involved.
It is naturally not that easy to tell someone something that is well understood but the means cannot be put on the table.
Seeing Chen Guiyi win back a victory, Cheng Ju stood up and criticized: "In the three hundred years of the country's dynasty, the wealthy gentry have been in business for three hundred years. After three hundred years, the family has become extremely rich. Isn't this unreasonable? Their every
Every land transaction must be approved by the government. If there is a problem with their land, does the government have a bigger problem?"
Later, the right minister of the Ministry of official affairs Zeng came out from Longzhan to echo, he said: "It's very true, the right way is to accumulate a small amount and make a large amount. Water drops can penetrate the stone. The gentry has been in business for three hundred years. It is natural for them to have a family business. In the same way,
Whose family doesn’t have a few prodigal sons, and the incompetent descendants don’t cherish the land and sell it off? Isn’t this allowed?”
"Yes, it's possible that he bought the land in the first place and then expected the gentry to give it to him for free and then return it to him. There is no such thing as this in the world."
Many officials immediately followed Agenda Jue and Zeng Yinglong's words and immediately launched an attack on Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian and Chen Longzhi.
Deng Guang, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said: "In the Song Dynasty, we ruled the country with etiquette and law. The matter of land and acres was of great importance. Everyone who handled it had well-documented evidence. The process was reasonable and legal. What's wrong with that? And you use what happened at the beginning of the dynasty as a basis. Then, what happened at the beginning of the dynasty?
At the beginning of the dynasty, your ancestors may have been begging for food, but will you all take off your official robes, confiscate your property, and go begging on the streets?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the past was before, and now is now. How can we generalize? This is simply ridiculous."
Chen Longzhi was naturally dissatisfied, so he retorted and replied: "You are simply trying to cover up how the powerful landowners came to be. This is all something you know very well. What you said is full of confidence. I dare to ask how many powerful people in the world are there?"
Anyone dares to stand up and let the court investigate thoroughly!"
After hearing this, Zeng Yinglong was angry. He stepped forward and retorted: "There are scum among the powerful. This official will not deny it, but do you dare to say that there are no loyal people among the powerful? Now there is no investigation and no confirmation. The new law
Then he cut off all the powerful people in the world and ordered them to hand over all their land. Isn't this an act of banditry?"
Li Zongmian raised his hand and said: "The new law is for the people all over the world, so that they will no longer have suffering, everyone will have a paradise, and ultimately the people will be rich and the country will be strong.
It is true that some powerful people will be wronged during the implementation. We will try our best to avoid this in the implementation of the new law. However, the flaws cannot be concealed. The new law will benefit tens of millions of people. Once it succeeds, there will be no civil unrest in the Song Dynasty, and the country will have no worries for a hundred years.
This is an indisputable fact.”
"snort."
Zeng Yinglong responded tit-for-tat, waving his sleeves and saying: "A happy land? A strong country? Where is the happy land? When will the country be strong again? Was it a happy land in the Han and Tang Dynasties? Was the country strong in the Han and Tang Dynasties? However, if you don't see it, the capital will also be strong during the Han Dynasty.
They are cannibals! Didn’t you see that during the Kaiyuan period, the border areas were bleeding like sea water!"
Zhu Zhu also opposed the new law. He followed up: "Yes, who doesn't want the people to be prosperous and the country to be strong? But when will it really be realized? Now our Song Dynasty has political stability, prosperous commerce, external pressure on the Jin Kingdom, internal annihilation of Li Quan, and national affairs are flourishing.
, truly admired by all nations, with such a national fate, why do we need to implement new laws? I think you are just afraid that the world will not be in chaos!"
"Yes, you are tempting Your Majesty to use new laws to control the government and create a new history. Do you think that all the officials in the dynasty can't see it?"
"Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian, Chen Longzhi, you have repeatedly insisted on the new law. On the surface, you are serving the country and the people, but in fact, you are greedy for profit and seek to usurp the throne!"
The officials were furious and criticized Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian, and Chen Longzhi, which put pressure on Chen Guiyi and the others.
"cough."
Zhao Yun saw that the crowd of officials was raging, and Chen Guiyi and the others were already unable to withstand it, so he coughed heavily and said: "Everyone, please pay attention to your behavior. The court is not a food court, and the court debate is not cursing. How can we allow spitting and making a lot of noise?
?”
Yuan Shao, Cheng Jue, Zhu Zhu, Zeng Yinglong and others realized that their words were too loud and lacked respect for the king, so they all straightened their clothes, straightened their official hats, and raised their hands to apologize to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "It's getting late, so let's stop here for today's court debate. There will be another court meeting tomorrow, and there will be another court debate. In short, if the court debate cannot determine the winner in one day, the court meeting will continue for one day."
The Song Dynasty held court meetings every fifth day. Now, according to Zhao Yun, if the debate on the new law is fruitless, court meetings will be held every day.
After saying that, Zhao Yun looked around at the officials and saw that no one was speaking. He signaled Gao Shi to announce the dismissal of the court, then stood up and left the Chui Gong Hall.
After Zhao Yun left, Yuan Shao glared at Chen Guiyi and others and said: "You are trying your best to implement the new law. Although this law is beneficial to the people, it will harm the powerful and benefit the few. This will cause the powerful to rebel and the world will be turbulent! At that time, you
Count each one of them, they are the biggest sinners of our Song Dynasty."
After saying that, Yuan Shao turned around and left angrily.
Zeng Yinglong was also angry with Chen Guiyi and the others, but he still raised his hands to Chen Guiyi and the others politely and said resolutely: "Three envoys, you are determined to implement the new law, but you don't know that there is still room for maneuver when the people are in chaos.
But if powerful forces cause chaos, the country will be turned upside down. I would like to advise the three envoys, if they sincerely think about the country and the country of the Song Dynasty, they should stop as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Chen Guiyi raised his hand and said: "I, the Song Dynasty's Sanruan, are already terminally ill. If we continue to turn a blind eye, something will happen to us in the future, and our lives will be ruined and our country will be ruined. Now that the officials are determined to innovate and be proactive, it is precisely because we and our ministers have done so.
It's the best time to sweep away the three redundants. Don't you want to restore the health of the country?"
Zeng Yinglong was stunned, and finally said: "We have different ways. We don't want to conspire with each other, so you can do your own thing."
All the officials left one by one, leaving only the lonely figures of Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian and Chen Longzhi. The words of Yuan Shao, Zeng Yinglong and others swirled in their minds, which made them feel for a moment.
