This matter...how should I put it, on the table, this man is justified, but everyone knows why.
Did Zeng Xiaokuan make any mistakes? From a specific perspective, he was flawed and his work was not meticulous. But no matter what the reason, Zhao Xi could not do anything against Zeng Xiaokuan.
Should I punish my uncle? There seems to be no reason.
The misfortune was diverted to the east, and the grievances of the ministers and workers were directed away. This uncle should have suffered a lot.
The last thing he should do is to get involved in important court affairs at this time.
Speaking of which, the clan members are quite pitiful.
When recruiting scholars in the dynasty, even untouchables can change their destiny through examinations, but clan members can only be kept in captivity forever...
"Prince Dongping, how much farmland do you have in Xianping County, and how much has not been reported as state land?"
Seeing the official asking this question, Zhao Yunbi really wanted to hold his neck and explain clearly like he did to his cousin before.
But he doesn’t dare!
It was not clear whether he was committing rebellion or not. He only knew that when the late emperor was critically ill and unable to speak, the official family was still the crown prince at that time. A few days after returning from the Western Expedition, Zhao Yunrang's family was gone.
He knew that in today's official family, his nephew would never be as easy to talk to as his father.
On the contrary, what he has shown in the past few years since he has been in power is so frightening that he has taken control of the entire court step by step, and even people like Han Qi and Wen Yanbo are submissive.
How dare he, Zhao Yunbi, do what?
"Back to the official's house, not... not much?"
Zhao Yunbi didn't even know what he was saying. Why don't you come to the court and scream? But facing officials, he was really timid.
"Do you think this is possible? Zeng Gongchuo actively worked for the court. I mean, I won't punish him for anything..."
One sentence directly set the tone. It was useless to argue for a long time. Nothing could be done to convict him, just because he actively handled official duties.
"As for the farmland you lost, you have to pay for it yourself, and I will make up for it with money. Remember, I am making up for you as the head of the clan, not as a king."
"The purpose of this is to tell you what you should and should not do. People need to be self-aware and do things according to their ability."
"In addition, although Zeng Gongchuo will not be convicted, there are flaws in the handling of this matter. I hope you will take this as a warning. It is best to add a message after the notice: If you fail to wait after the time limit, you will be responsible for the consequences."
"Let's break up the court..."
After saying that, Zhao Xi stood up and left.
What should be done and what should not be done...this was said to Zhao Yunbi, and also to the entire court.
I've seen your tricks very clearly, don't play this with me. If you continue to talk about this invisible thing like this in the future, I will close the door and accompany you!
Officials are becoming less and less able to hide their arbitrary actions... This is not a good sign.
But what can we do? The government disputes during this period of time all originated from the court. The edicts issued were also drafted by the Prime Minister. There was no refutation. The key is that they did not reach that point.
As for the gains and losses of Taiwan's remonstrance and inspection officials...it's not like no one is worried about it, but there is really no excuse that can be justified.
He is not greedy for women. Except for the time in the East Palace, he has never added anyone to the palace since he ascended the throne. Not only that, even the maids left behind by the late emperor are allowed to leave the palace, and those who have not left the palace can make a living by working in the workshop city.
.
He worked diligently on government affairs. He got up at about 10 o'clock every day and went around the inner garden to exercise. Even the martial arts hall that had been built during the reign of Taizu was reopened.
Before Mao Shi, go to Chui Gong Hall to handle official business. Even if there is no official business, officials will select and read the memorials from earlier years.
Even Xiu Mu was not idle as an official. He would also go to the martial arts hall to communicate with Lu Gongzhu about the management of the martial arts hall, and discuss the martial arts training of the captains with Di Qing.
I teach a few more classes from time to time... The official classes are the most popular in the martial arts hall, no one else.
In handling government affairs, all major matters must be discussed together. From the appearance, the officials have never made a strong decision on anything. They will seek the opinions of the ministers and even the ministers in the court on every matter.
But in the end, nothing was dealt with that was not entirely in accordance with the official's intentions and clearly had the official style.
To be honest, it’s very depressing!
Even if you are unhappy and have opinions about any matter, when the officials need to make a decision, all objections will be suppressed.
Han Qi remembered that when Xianggong Pang was still in charge of the government, Fu Yanguo once said: Such an emperor is a great blessing to the country, but as for his ministers, he may be good or bad.
And that Badger Lang Wang Jiefu... Han Qi really wanted to spit on him.
Sima Jun is really incompetent and upright to the point where he is almost unfit for government affairs.
What about Wen Kuanfu? Even the meeting has no sense of existence.
Han Jiang and Lu Gongbi...don't mention it. As for Uncle Ouyang Yong, he was dragged out and tortured several times, and he has long lost his ambition.
Sigh... Han Qi felt that he was very lonely, even more lonely than the official family. He never thought that Zhi Zai would reach this level.
Han Qi felt depressed, and Zhao Yunbi felt even more aggrieved.
The plot didn't turn out the way he wanted, and it was even different from previous plots.
Especially the last few words from Guan Jia made him even more confused.
He really wanted to ask the person who had instigated him, but he didn't dare. He always felt that the officials knew what he did.
Now that we've reached this point, I really don't dare to act rashly.
But tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land were just lost? That was so uncomfortable. Zhao Yunbi wanted to cry!
As for asking the officials to give it? He wouldn't dare, unless he wanted to seek death.
"Your Majesty, Menlan received a letter..."
Zhao Yunbi quickly took it over and looked at it: report it to the official according to the truth.
What do you mean? Tell the truth? If the government investigates the source of these cultivated fields... it seems that the source of these cultivated fields of theirs is quite correct.
What do you mean? I didn’t see him getting involved during the court meeting? Why does it have to be like this?
Zhao Yunbi thought for a long time. Compared with provoking civil servants, the result would be more terrifying than provoking officials.
When the officials deal with the clan, they also have civil servants to look after them. But if the civil servants make trouble for the clan members, the officials will just go along with the situation.
Alas, I should have known better than to take a trip into this muddy water.
"More than 20,000 acres? This is really serious! Zhongzheng, please call Zhao Qin..."
Zhao Xi thought that his cousin didn't have the guts to ask for it from him, but he didn't expect that he actually did it.
"Qin'er, give the Dongping County Prince the money and grain for 20,000 acres of farmland at the market price... From now on, our family's business will have nothing to do without him."
He couldn't distinguish between the importance and the inside. He couldn't distinguish between the inside and outside! Just these 20,000 acres of land completely took away the blood relationship in Zhao Xi's heart.
"Officials, after the court meeting, before Prince Dongping returned to his residence, someone visited Prince Dongping's residence. According to reports, someone should have gone to deliver a letter..."
It seemed that someone was really behind this. Zhao Xi did not ask Wang Zhongzheng who sent the letter.
If he knew about it, Wang Zhongzheng would definitely report it.
In fact, it doesn’t matter who it is, what matters is the purpose.
You want me to break my promise? Disobey what I said at the court meeting? It's also an excuse for impeachment.
Or do you want me to care about the 20,000 acres of land? Then take action against the clan members?
It should be both.
However, it is really not a problem for the clan members to be kept in captivity like this. Instead, we can take the opportunity to discuss the matter of the clan clan.
