The Jianning Year, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, was an unprecedented prosperous period. During these years, whether it was the accumulation of the national treasury, local political achievements, or the number of household registrations, there were unprecedented achievements.
Weak, the crazy increase in household registration has become one of the topics that officials talk about. However, the local roads, water transportation channels, and official schools all reflect the glory of Jianning's prosperous age.
However, the Jianning Year was also a period of trouble.
Snowstorms, droughts, and locust plagues continued, all of which were rapidly consuming the national power of the Han Dynasty and limiting the continued prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, the emperor made good use of people, and the officials he appointed were still able to deal with these disasters well. How could a strong man be a natural disaster?
What can be restricted? After the disaster in Jiqing, Guoyuan immediately proposed to divert water from the river to irrigate the fields.
Regarding these matters, he carefully discussed with Zheng Xuan, Ju Shou and others. With the support of the granaries in the two places, the people picked up the iron hoes and started construction under the leadership of the officials. Xing Ziang also allocated a lot of manpower.
, went to Jizhou to provide assistance. These manpower were naturally rude barbarians whom Dong Zhuo had inspired from the north. Yuan Feng had a sad face and also sent aid from the temple.
Under such circumstances, the emperor missed Wen Renggong more and more. In order to find a way to fill the vacancy in the treasury, the emperor held a court meeting.
As soon as the court meeting began, the officials began to impeach Wang Fu. They blamed all the disasters in these years on Wang Fu, and said sadly that as long as the emperor could cook Wang Jiexin, the disaster would definitely not happen, and the Han people would not
There is no need to suffer disasters again. The emperor has never cared about such remarks. As early as the early years of Jianning, the old Taiwei was impeached many times. It was said that it was his fault that led to the continuous natural disasters year after year.
After the death of the old captain, wouldn't this disaster still happen?
Among the ministers, only Yuan Feng did not participate. It seemed that he no longer had any extra energy to fight against Wang Fu. He suggested that the court must establish new financial sources and increase taxes on salt, iron, tea and wine.
It is imperative, otherwise the national treasury will be unable to support such heavy pressure at the same time. Most of the officials are opposed to Yuan Feng's remarks.
How can we share the pressure of the national treasury on the common people? This is definitely wrong. They are all great sages who care about the people of the world. They cannot allow such a thing to happen. At this moment, they have become people who are worried about the country and the people.
The saints criticized Yuan Feng wildly. In their mouths, Yuan Feng was already a traitor like Wang Fu.
Oppressing and exploiting the people, this kind of behavior is even worse than Wang Fu. Yuan Feng had a hard time explaining it. The first person to attack Yuan Feng was the chief minister Zhang Ji. As the most important nine ministers under his command, Zhang Ji
, has coveted his position as Sikong for a long time. At this moment, he has rarely caught Yuan Feng's hand. How can he have the intention to let him go? At this time, his allies in the court also started to curse with him.
.
Seeing Zhang Ji's face, Yuan Feng was furious but did not reprimand him.
Among the ministers, Cao Song supported Yuan Feng. The Cao family has always been the most loyal ministers around the emperor, and they have never been able to get along with these great sages. Cao Song mocked: "The public cares about the people, and the people are suffering from disasters.
Why not use your family property to help?"
Zhang Ji sneered and replied: "I will go back now and donate all my family property... without leaving anything behind. I heard that Mr. Cao's family is very rich... do you agree with me?"
Seeing that the ministers were quarreling again, the emperor forcibly suppressed their conflicts and asked Yuan Feng if there was any better solution. Yuan Feng said helplessly: "If the emperor refuses to increase taxes, he can only provide financial aid."
In the land of three Koreas, build a wharf and start sea trade with the story of Yangzhou..."
There were still many great sages who opposed this policy. Zhang Ji even pointed out that Yuan Feng's actions harmed the people's power. Such people are not worthy of being the Three Lords. The emperor just looked at him coldly and said nothing more.
What, he ordered the court meeting to end. Under the crazy criticism from Zhang Ji and others, Yuan Feng's two policies were not passed smoothly.
In addition, after the court meeting, news spread in Luoyang, informing the public of Yuan Feng's idea of raising taxes, and adding fuel to the fire, thinking that Yuan Feng wanted to raise agricultural taxes, vehicle and vessel taxes, and population taxes.
Naturally, Yuan Feng was cursed by the people and condemned by the officials. Even the people of Hebei Province who he wanted to help scolded him together after hearing these words.
The reaction of the scholars was the most intense. They gathered around Yuan Feng's house and did not curse. They just read many Confucian classics over and over again. Most of the contents were about loving the people and benevolent government, and used them to ridicule Yuan Feng's brutal and harsh government. Originally,
Some imperial students also wanted to participate, but Cai Yong gave the order that all imperial students who went to participate in these things would be expelled from school!
The students didn't join in the fun.
The scholars gathered at the gate of Yuan's Mansion. They were all attracted by others. Even if the embroidered messenger came, they were not afraid. They did not abuse the three princes or beat them. They were just studying. Zhang He
What about the hawk and dog?
While I was reading, someone suddenly opened the door and walked out of Yuan's house.
Seeing someone walking out, the soldiers read louder. They looked at the man walking out sarcastically. The man was extremely young. He frowned and walked up to them step by step. His eyes were cold and he said:
"You can go home now!"
When a scholar heard this, he stood up suddenly, held a book in his hand, and read aloud to him. This was a bit of a provocation. These people were all attracted by the intentions of Zhang Ji and his allies.
They were looking forward to the fight between the scholars and the people of the Yuan Mansion. In this way, Yuan Feng would have more handles, but it would not do any harm to them!
Seeing the scholar's appearance, the man turned around and returned to the mansion. Seeing that he had driven back the people in the Sangong Mansion, the scholar felt even more proud and cheered for his victory. The man was also excited and turned around to look at the many people.
The scholar said in his mouth: "The Master said: harsh government is fierce..."
"Shua~~~"
He was still unable to say the last two words, and the crossbow arrow quickly passed through his chest. He was knocked away by this huge force, flew up and fell among many scholars, and the scholars were frightened.
They stood up and looked at the gate of the Yuan family. The man just now was holding a yellow crossbow, and there were several soldiers standing behind him. These soldiers wanted to question this man, but the young man did not give them this chance at all. He held the yellow crossbow in his hand.
Launch again.
The soldiers also fired crossbows one after another, and the soldiers fell down one by one. The rest of the people roared and fled around frantically. The young man simply threw away the yellow crossbow in his hand, drew out his sword, and started chasing.
Kill, the scholars howled, howled like ghosts and wolves, and ran for their lives in all directions. The young man was very calm and struck one sword at a time. Many of the scholars resisted, but they could not hold out in his hands.
The elite soldiers of the Northern Army also followed in the pursuit. At the entrance of the Yuan family's mansion, blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain.
Yuan Shu stood in the river of blood, with cold eyes, wiping his sword, and whispered: "When the father is humiliated, the son can push the blade..."
