"The worries of the great farmer Zhongcheng are indeed very reasonable!" After a moment of silence, Liu Che raised his head and praised with a smile.
"I don't dare..." Fan Xun immediately prostrated on the ground and used the most humble gesture to show that he was definitely not looking for trouble: "I am just a human minister, filling in the gaps for His Majesty..."
Even the other ministers in the palace did not say a word at this moment. They all looked at Fan Xun like a good baby, but they secretly observed and watched Fan Xun closely.
Everyone wants to know whether the emperor really wants to "open up the air" today or just wants to show off.
Only after determining this foundation can they make better decisions about their alignment and selection.
Upon seeing this situation, Liu Che shook his head inwardly and smiled bitterly.
This is the sequelae caused by the Liehou series connection last autumn.
Ministers are starting to become diplomatic.
Or, to be more precise: these guys finally looked squarely at Liu Che, the emperor, and no longer regarded him as a young man who could be fooled.
Regarding this situation, Liu Che didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"Give the great farmer a piece of silk to commend him for his ability to speak out and remonstrate directly!" Liu Che gave an order to Wang Dao and used practical actions to tell the ministers: I am not joking with you. Feel free to speak out and put forward opinions boldly, and even
It’s just criticism!
Anyway, the lunar month has always been a place for talking... □ long... □ wind... □ text... ↖et
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Fan Xun thanked him immediately after hearing this.
When other ministers saw this situation, they also put their hearts back in their stomachs.
Some people even thought in their hearts: "Your Majesty, this is what you asked us to say boldly..."
The moment of courage is max.
"As for what Zhong Cheng is worried about, there is no need to worry..." Liu Che said to Fan Xun with a smile.
Looking back, Liu Che ordered Ji An, the minister, who had been standing by his side: "Shang Shuling, declare the edict!"
"Nuo!" Ji An bowed solemnly. Then, he respectfully took out a silk book that had been drafted a long time ago from a jade box.
Holding the silk book in his hands, Ji An slowly walked to the imperial steps, his eyes were straight, and he spread out the silk book meticulously.
"Your Majesty's edict, all ministers are respectfully listening!" Ji An said loudly.
Therefore, among the ministers, except for a few giants who knew what was going to happen, most of them followed the others and crawled to the ground in ignorance: "I listen to the holy command!"
Ji An lowered his head and looked at this familiar silk book that he was no longer familiar with.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The Legalist thoughts in this edict are about to break through the constraints of words and jump into the world to make waves.
only……
Even so, Ji An was still madly in love with these words.
Why?
Ji An once secretly took part of the draft of this edict to consult his wife's grandfather, Marquis Zhang Wu of the Han Dynasty.
After Zhang Wuhou read it, he said to Ji An: This method of decorating "Poetry" and "Book" is not surprising.
Zhang Wuhou thought it was not surprising, but for Ji An, it was like opening the door to a whole new world for him.
Ji An suddenly discovered that Huang Lao Wuwei and the Ji Dili Sect had a lot in common.
If we can put aside disputes and make progress together.
So in the Han political arena, who can resist the power of Huang Lao and Legalism?
He took a deep breath, pushed out some of the messy thoughts in his mind, and read out the contents of the silk book in a depressed manner: "I inherited the late emperor's order and was granted the protection of the ancestral temple. With my insignificant body,
Entrusted to the kings of the world. It has been more than three years now. I am not sensitive and cannot be far away from virtue. Therefore, the country outside the country may not be peaceful. Outside the four wilderness, its life will not be safe..."
The beginning of this edict is plain and unremarkable, no different from most edicts issued by the emperors of the Han Dynasty in the past.
Ji An paused for a moment, seemed to have taken a breath, straightened his waist straighter, and continued to recite: "I am not virtuous, and I am always afraid of doing wrong, to shame the legacy of my late emperor, so I try to reflect on it three times."
Keep your body and clothes simple, save your carriages and horses, promote education, establish Gantang, Wuyuan, Taixue, worship military preparation, and rely on the efforts of the ministers, God will favor you, peace will prevail in the sea, and there will be military revolution!"
"Today the world is stable and the sea is at peace. I only think about the difficulties of living for the people! The poem says: I am worried about the misery and think about the misfortune of the country." Ji An continued to read: "He ordered the prime minister, Yafu, and the court officials, Yu and others.
, refer to the gains and losses of the previous generations, neutralize public order and good customs, and prepare the "Tax Code" to present to me. From now on, when the county magistrate imposes levies, they must be in accordance with the law!"
When Ji An finished reciting the last word, the entire Xuanshi Palace immediately fell into a deathly silence.
All the previous words in this edict are basically nonsense, and the key lies in the last sentence.
Order the Prime Minister and Ting Wei to take the lead in forming a Han Dynasty tax law compilation working group.
It's no big deal.
The Han Dynasty has been in the Han Dynasty for so many years, and the laws introduced and revised laws can cover the entire streets of Chang'an.
However, the last eight words, 'The county magistrate must comply with the law to impose additional taxes', instantly aroused the passion of almost everyone.
The so-called county magistrate refers to the emperor and the country.
The meaning of these eight words is naturally easy to understand.
The meaning of this edict issued by Liu Che is: I will appoint the prime minister and Tingwei to preside over and edit a law related to taxation. From now on, if the government wants to impose any tax, it must first promulgate a supporting law, otherwise
, then no additional levy can be imposed.
Facing this edict, the Legalists laughed.
Because the Legalists felt that they had taken the initiative.
Huang Laopai also laughed, because Huang Laopai felt that this was their victory.
What Mr. Huang is most afraid of is that if they come up with new ideas every day, they will be exhausted. Now, a "Tax Law" can be used as a foundation. In the future, there is no need to bother with these trivial matters, just follow the rules.
As for the Confucians, they were laughing from ear to ear.
Because the emperor made himself a cage and got into it himself.
Although there is not even a piece of paper in this cage, it is purely made of air. As long as the emperor is shameless, no one can do anything to him.
But this is also a great victory and great progress!
Think about it, in order to lock the emperor into a paper cage, how many Confucian people died? How many people went crazy? In the end, they were not imprisoned, and instead they led themselves into a ditch.
Now, the emperor made himself a chain.
How could Confucianism object?
All limbs are raised in support!
Liu Che looked at Fan Xun with a smile and said, "You should be relieved now!"
Does he dare to worry?
Although as an old accountant, Fan Xun feels that this matter is not that simple. However, the emperor has made such a big sacrifice, and for a minister to find fault with the eggs, he is seeking death.
Besides, Fan Xun was just a reminder out of professional ethics.
"What is your second worry?" Liu Che asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, descendants of the merchants are not allowed to become eunuchs..." Fan Xun kowtowed and said, "This is also an ancestral system, but..."
All right……
Liu Che also understood it instantly. (To be continued.)
