Dai Jinyun couldn't help but said: "Teacher, if you take one step, it counts as ten steps!"
Wei Shuyu said: "Brother Du is so talented that I am ashamed of myself."
Qin Huaiyu said: "I have the same opinion!"
Xu Zhiyuan said: "The prince-in-law is really talented!"
Du He smiled slightly and said nothing.
On the side, Zhang Jian looked at Liu Wentong and others with disdain, and thought, you don't know that, in fact, the actions of the ten county magistrates from beginning to end were all instigated by the young master. Otherwise, with the actions of those cowards,
How dare you go to the imperial court?
However, he would not dare to say this kind of thing easily.
Because the fangs are always hidden from the light.
Everyone present, except Du He, only thought Zhang Jian was a handsome servant. Who would have thought that this guy had all the information about Chang'an City.
…
at the same time.
Many ministers in the DPRK have reached a unanimous opinion, which is to impeach Du He.
This matter was led by Wang Gui.
Morning the next day.
Wang Gui was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I have my own report. I want to impeach Du He for committing beggar-thy-neighbor behavior and diverting disaster to the east."
Li Er was stunned and said curiously: "Wang Qing's family, a few days ago, I went out of the palace incognito. I saw the people in Chang'an City living and working in peace and contentment. They all praised the achievements of the ten-county alliance. I heard that many people even sent banners to Du He.
Yes, the tax policy of the Ten County Alliance has achieved results that are obvious to all, so why does the Qing family want to impeach Du He?"
There was a trace of bitterness on the corner of Wang Gui's mouth.
Li Er is right.
The ten-county alliance created by Du He unified the collection and payment of commercial taxes and the unified management of public security, and indeed achieved remarkable results.
Therefore, the ministers of the DPRK and China racked their brains and paid a lot of costs, but they could not find a place to impeach Du He.
In the end, everyone worked hard and finally found a point to impeach Du He.
Just listen to Wang Gui say: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Du He, but it is the alliance of these ten counties, who are beggar their neighbors and divert disaster to the east... Your Majesty, please listen to me, first of all, it is the new commercial tax policy. This commercial tax policy has a great impact on the country and the country."
It is a good thing for the people, but it is too heavy for the merchants. Therefore, the merchants in the ten-county alliance area have gone to other counties in Jingzhao Prefecture. These people have many complaints about the policies of the ten-county alliance.
, Therefore, after they arrived in these places, they tried every means to evade taxes, and even encouraged the local merchants to evade taxes. For a time, the remaining ten counties of Jingzhao Prefecture were miserable...The second was the security and city management brigade.
Due to the strict management, many local ruffians have gone to the other ten counties to commit evil and misfortune, and the people are suffering... Du He is beggar his neighbor."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I just visited Yunyang, Jingyang and other counties a few days ago and found that many local merchants evaded taxes. Since the Ten County Alliance began to collect commercial taxes once a month, Jingzhao Prefecture has jurisdiction
Within 10 years, all counties began to follow suit, but now, due to the new commercial tax policy of the Ten County Alliance and the tax bureau's pressure, many businessmen have gone to the ten counties. For a time, the local county government was simply too busy and problems abounded."
Chen Shuda also said: "What your Majesty, Wang Situ and Changsun Sikong said is true. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate at any time."
"Your Majesty, please judge!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
For a time, many ministers stood up one after another.
Looking at the entire court, there are very few people who support Du He.
Li Er was a little hesitant.
Wang Gui suddenly said: "If your Majesty does not trust me, you can summon the ten county magistrates to come to the court to confront you."
"right!"
"It would be best to let the ten county magistrates explain clearly in court!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately and announce that the magistrates of the ten counties of Yunyang and Jingyang will appear before you!"
Wang Gui's proposal was approved by many people.
For a moment, everyone raised their heads and looked at Li Er, waiting for Li Er's decision.
Li Er opened his mouth and was about to speak.
He also wanted to hear what the county magistrates of the ten counties had to say. At the same time, he planned to send the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the matter personally.
At this moment, Ximen Qing, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, hurried in and said: "Your Majesty, the magistrates of Yunyang, Jingyang... ten counties have arrived at the gate of the palace, requesting an interview with Your Majesty."
Li Eryi was stunned.
The county magistrate cannot go to court, nor does he need to go to court.
If many county magistrates unite to go to court, something serious must have gone wrong.
Before he could speak, Wang Gui said: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is no need to announce the presence of these county magistrates. They must be here for the alliance of the ten counties. Now, the people of the ten counties of Jingzhao Prefecture are boiling with dissatisfaction.
If we can't deal with it, we must be here to complain."
"Yes, this is a good time to hear what they have to say!"
"Your Majesty, please invite them to visit us!"
Many people advised him.
Li Er frowned and nodded: "Xuan!"
Ximen Qing ran out immediately.
Wang Gui, Changsun Wuji and others were overjoyed.
Changsun Wuji whispered: "God is really helping me. I didn't expect that the magistrates of ten counties could not bear it first and went to Chang'an to file a complaint. The magistrates of ten counties jointly filed a complaint. Du He will definitely not be able to eat this time.
, even if the ten-county alliance achieves good results, he will not be able to escape the blame of beggar-thy-neighbor this time."
Wang Gui nodded: "That boy, he tricked Banshan College before, huh, now it's time for revenge."
Every minister is gearing up. They have already prepared their rhetoric. As soon as the magistrates of the ten counties arrive, they will immediately start to express support.
Soon, county magistrates arrived at Tai Chi Hall one by one.
Wang Gui and others originally would not take these small county magistrates seriously at all, but now, they all greet these county magistrates with joy.
These little county magistrates were all flattered and thought they were in the wrong place.
After all ten county magistrates arrived at the palace, Li Er asked: "Dear gentlemen, you must have encountered some difficulties when you are so aggressive in fighting? You can tell me and let me hear it."
"Yes," Wang Gui couldn't help but interjected, "If you have any grievances or grievances, just speak up and His Majesty will make the decision for you."
"Don't worry, county magistrates. With us supporting you, even if you speak out, no one will dare to do anything to you."
Everyone is very enthusiastic.
The ten county magistrates looked at each other in confusion, and finally looked at each other and elected Yunyang County Magistrate Zhou to speak.
Magistrate Zhou stepped forward, bowed, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have taken the liberty to come here. There is indeed a major matter that requires your Majesty's help to solve."
Hearing this, the ministers who had previously impeached Du He all cheered up and waited for Magistrate Zhou to finish speaking before they jumped out to accuse Du He.
I only heard County Magistrate Zhou say: "Your Majesty, I have discussed before that I want to lead the counties under my jurisdiction to join the ten-county alliance. However, Prince Consort Du did not agree to this matter. We went to Liu Fuyin of Jingzhao Mansion.
Yin also refused the matter. I really had nothing to do, so I boldly came to ask for your Majesty's help."
Wang Gui had already prepared his words, but before Magistrate Zhou could finish his words, he hurriedly said: "I have said before that Du He's move really hurts others and does not benefit himself. It is simply useless... Hey, what did you say? What are you going to do?
