Entering May, Chang'an City is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.
The Empress Dowager of the East Palace is approaching the end of her life. As the Han Dynasty advertises itself as "governing the world with filial piety," this is of course a great and joyful event.
What's more, this year is the 40th birthday of Empress Dowager Bo of the East Palace.
It’s time to celebrate grandly.
The prime minister and the imperial censor joined forces with the ministers and wrote a memorial, asking the emperor to let all the people in the world feel the festive atmosphere on such a festive festival and pray for the queen mother together and wish her a happy birthday.
In fact, the subtext is that Your Majesty has not been exempted from land tax or given a title for a long time.
Let’s have a go!
People all over the world support the exemption of land tax with all their limbs.
But the real main force of support was the scholar-bureaucrats who represented the interests of the landlord class.
Think about it, if the land tax is exempted, who will benefit in the end?
Ordinary people?
hehe……
If the land tax is exempted, can the landlord’s land rent be exempted?
Maybe, people might be able to use this as an excuse to charge more rent!
Therefore, the group that truly benefits must at least be self-cultivating farmers.
Of course, those who benefit the most are the big landowners who own a lot of land!
Especially after the promulgation of "Ping Lv", all the landowners in the world turned to Chang'an, kowtowed three times and praised our emperor for his sage.
The land of the nouveau riche merchants was forced to resell due to excessive taxes and stricter restrictions.
It is impossible not to resell it. The five times tax burden means that unless Yuan Great Druid comes to an end, any merchant who wants to farm will only lose money.
No businessman will make a loss-making transaction.
Even if Druid Yuan traveled through time, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat the unequal competition among the landlords.
Under such circumstances, Xiaomin also took a breath.
This is because businessmen are selling large amounts of land, even selling it at fire sales.
This allows some small people who have saved a little money to buy a dozen or dozens of acres, and develop from pure tenant farmers to semi-tenant farmers and semi-owner farmers.
Even the hard days are easier.
After the landlords had a big meal, they were a little full, so they no longer oppressed and exploited them as before.
As for the golden wave in Huaihua?
I'm really sorry.
At this time, information was limited, and most rural areas were in a period where chickens and dogs heard each other, and no contact existed until old age and death.
Except for the rangers and heroes in the city, only the common people who were forced to go into the city to find a way to survive could hear about this matter.
Some places, even in the county seat, know nothing about what happened in Huaihua.
Except for the county government officials who got the relevant information from the newspaper, even the local gentry were still in the dark.
Even in some areas that are too remote, they still don't know that King Wu Liu Bi once launched a rebellion, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty almost changed his bloodline.
This is also the current situation in China today.
In addition to the cities directly passing by and on both sides of the river, there are important transportation hub cities in the north and south of the Yangtze River.
The circulation of information spreads at a turtle speed.
In addition to major policies related to one's own interests, there are also major events such as the death of the old emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor.
For other things, we can only let the bullets fly for another three to five years. In some cases, they may even fly for ten or more years.
However, at this time, Liu Che was a little depressed.
Liu Che is depressed about two things.
First, some guys in the south really deserve to be beaten!
Recently, as the birthday of Empress Dowager Bo was approaching, an evil wind also blew into Chang'an from the south.
Liu Che's uncles and aunts seemed a little restless.
In other words, some people made them restless.
Therefore, there are a few mouths in the public opinion circle, and they are talking about something: "The former concubine (Su family) gave birth to your majesty, Huainan (Liu Rong), and Jiangdu (Liu Yan) and made great contributions to the country, so she should be posthumously named the queen mother, in accordance with the system of the queen mother."
.The mausoleum city was built to conform to the ancestral system of the Han family'.
To be honest, they were not wrong either.
To be fair, Su can indeed be posthumously named Queen Mother.
But the problem is that Queen Mother Bo is still alive!
How do you want Empress Dowager Bo to deal with the situation after being granted the title of Su family?
Since Taizong's biological mother was not seen, the Empress Dowager Bo passed away and had no choice but to go to Nanling to meet Emperor Taizong Gao across the river?
Moreover, the cheap mother died in an unknown manner.
If she were posthumously named Queen Mother, then the history books would ask, "What was the cause of the death of Emperor Xiao and Queen Mother Su?"
Then the Emperor's father may be criticized by future generations for a thousand years.
As a son and heir, Liu Che, the emperor, might not be much better.
Another key question is whether the Su family or the Bo family went to Yangling to keep company with the late emperor?
Which of these problems is easy to deal with?
Therefore, Liu Che simply threw it aside and was too lazy to deal with these guys.
Anyway, they just jumped once, and when they had jumped enough and found that the emperor was not paying attention, they would automatically stop.
But just because Liu Che didn't pay attention, it doesn't mean that Donggong didn't pay attention.
Empress Dowager Bo of the East Palace is a person who cares about face, has a weak personality, and is very concerned about public opinion.
After hearing about these discussions, he proposed to Liu Che that he wanted to move out of the East Palace and go to Yangling to guard the late emperor's tomb.
How can this be done?
If word spreads, Liu Che will soon be labeled as 'ungrateful' and 'mean and unkind'.
What's more, Empress Dowager Bo can somewhat check and balance the Dou family in the East Palace, and can also make Dou family's relatives feel more at ease in the court.
Otherwise, Empress Dowager Dou would not punish them, and there would be Empress Dowager Bo who could lock them in a small dark room.
Therefore, Liu Che spent a lot of effort to appease Empress Dowager Bo.
If this matter only makes Liu Che feel uncomfortable.
Then another thing made Liu Che feel very angry.
What happened in the Xiongnu passed through Yunzhong County and arrived in Chang'an a few days ago.
After Liu Che read the report, he almost had a stomachache from laughing at first.
The military officials actually imitated him and started playing copycat?
This made Liu Che really laugh.
It’s not easy to pretend to be a magic stick!
This is a double-edged sword. If the pretense is successful, like Liu Che, going from one victory to another, it will naturally be able to unite people's hearts, unite domestic factions and various interest groups, and at the same time strengthen centralization of power.
However, if we encounter a setback, such as a serious military defeat.
Then, the emperor's new clothes will be seen through by everyone.
At the same time, because 'the Shanyu or Emperor, who was blessed by God and ancestors, also failed, does this prove that there is something wrong with our culture, system, religion and even race?'
And once such suspicion arises, then this nation and this country will be doomed.
Once the seeds of self-doubt are sown, they will inevitably produce the fruit called "inferiority".
And Liu Che had no doubt that in a few years, when the Han army left the fortress, the Huns would inevitably encounter a bloody situation.
but……
Although Liu Che sees it this way.
But the court officials and public opinion did not see it that way.
When these guys heard that the Xiongnu Chanyu had also been blessed by the gods, they immediately panicked.
Confidence in the victory of the Huns War also declined as a result, and some guys simply jumped back to become the leader and peace faction.
This made Liu Che really depressed. He really had the urge to arrest these guys and educate them! (To be continued.)
