Just when everyone thought Li Mu was going to 'return with a great victory', he suddenly slapped the back of his head as if he remembered something and said: "Oh, Mr. Wei, if you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot.
, I didn’t break the law, but someone did. Wei Gong is responsible for revising the law, so why is he so procrastinating on this matter? Could it be..." Li Mu deliberately prolonged his voice, approached Wei Zheng, and said, "Is he deliberately covering it up?
"
"you!"
How could anyone bully someone like this? Wei Zheng was so excited that he forgot where this place was. He glared at Li Mu and said, "This is all your plan!"
"That's right!" Li Mu admitted shamelessly, spread his hands and said, "Just follow the plan. Didn't my good disciple tell you?" As he said that, Li Mu's face turned cold and he said, "I'm stupid.
Who is to blame? I did something wrong and didn’t want to repent. I wanted to turn it around and didn’t even check if I had the brains! Do you think I am idle these days? To tell you the truth, now Niu Jinda and Li Daozong
The general's troops have spread the news thousands of miles away, and your majesty's criminal edict has been made public to the world. The clans committed assassinations, the clans broke the law, the clans invaded the fields, the clans enslaved the villagers, and the clans accounted for seven out of ten of the world's crimes. Now, now
There are only two choices before you. There is only one choice. Give up your extremely stupid delusions and obey His Majesty's will honestly and orderly. Those who obey will prosper and those who rebel will perish! These six words can
Do you understand?"
Eighty percent of the officials were from prominent families. Seeing how rampant Li Mu was, they all started making noises. Eunuch Gao saw that the situation was going to be serious, and asked Li Shimin with his eyes if he wanted to stop it, but Li Shimin waved his hand. What he liked most was
Li Mu has this arrogant look, and he likes it more and more. In fact, Li Mu has changed a lot. He is now much better than when he first came to Chang'an, and his temper would explode if anyone provoked him. Now, he only has
He will only be arrogant when he is sure of victory. He is always smiling. His current attitude is so arrogant, which shows that he is sure of victory. This is the final blow, forcing Wei Zheng to express his stance.
"Li Mu, the war against the Turks last year almost exhausted the country's strength. Now is the time to recuperate and recuperate. You just provoke conflicts. Do you hate the peace of the world for too long?"
"I don't understand what you are saying, Mr. Wei!" Li Mu retorted mercilessly: "I only know that Shandong grain merchants are raising prices wantonly and do not take His Majesty's attention seriously. I only know that six of the five surnames and seven wishes are
An assassin has appeared, causing Your Majesty to bleed! I only know that in the face of incidents that violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the princes who usually shout that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty, are delaying and making excuses. Treat Your Majesty strictly.
Treat yourself harshly, but be tolerant in everything? Mu is young and ignorant, and does not understand where this double standard comes from? Law is the yardstick of morality! Morality is what makes people human! In the eyes of Wei Gong and others, law is
It regulates the emperor, not the family? So what’s the use of laws?”
"I asked Your Majesty to let Duke Wei preside over the revision of the law, just to make him understand that the law is the law because it regulates the words and deeds of everyone in this country. From the emperor to the people, no one can violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty!
Common people, princes, nobles, and powerful families! It would be unwise to have a moment of peace if hidden dangers are buried. I think it is better to use the sharpest blade to cut the skin and dig out the carrion. The temporary pain can be replaced by
For a lifetime of peace, scrape the bones and cure the poison, this is the right way!"
"The sword is not Li Mu's sword, nor is it your Majesty's. The sword used today is the sharp blade used by the assassin to stab your Majesty that day. The four words "You bring the blame upon yourself", can Mr. Wei know how to write it?
Wei Zheng pursed his lips and looked at Li Mu, without saying anything for a long time. After a while, Wei Zheng turned around and knelt down to Li Shimin, took out a fold from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, Shandong Sanwang Twenty-seven
The wealthy families jointly support His Majesty in rebuilding the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
When Wang saw this, he quickly knelt down and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "The Wang family of Taiyuan, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Li family of Zhaojun, and the thirty-two tribes of Heshuo, in obedience to Heaven's grace, support Your Majesty in rebuilding the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
Changsun Wuji did not prepare a memorial, but when he saw that the situation had been achieved, he bowed and said: "All nobles and clans have always followed His Majesty's lead."
"Everyone loves you." Li Shimin raised his hand with a blushing face and said, "You are too serious. I govern the country with benevolence and filial piety. Everything is easy to discuss." After saying that, he looked at Li Mu and frowned.
"Li Mu, you are a junior. How can you be so polite in front of so many elders? Even if what you say is reasonable, I have to punish you and stretch out my hand."
Li Mu put his hands behind his back: "Your Majesty, this..."
"Stretch out your hand."
Li Mu had no choice but to stretch out his hand. Li Shimin picked up the paperweight on the table, patted the palm of Li Mu's hand and said, "Hit you to help you remember better."
"I know I was wrong."
When all the officials saw that the monarch and his minister were playing house, they all felt humiliated, but it was so unreasonable that they could only hold it in their hearts and not be able to express themselves.
Wei Zheng took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, I have carefully investigated the field matter in the past few days, and it is consistent with the investigation by Chang Sun Chong and others. However, there are reasons for the matter, please consider it."
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said, "I'll tell you what happened."
"Your Majesty, my hometown is in Quyang County. Let's take some of my relatives as an example. The surname Wei is also a common surname in Quyang County. Many of them do own more fields than are allocated according to law. But among them are some
At a joint, the fields owned by these people were already owned by the Sui Dynasty. They were passed down from generation to generation and were not obtained by plundering. If the dynasty changes and they lose the fields that originally belonged to them, I think it will cause a surge in public anger.
It’s not good for the court.”
Wei Zheng was serious, and it was indeed the truth. This was a solution he had come up with, and there was no other way. Nowadays, the powerful families want to resist, but they can't resist, so they can only do the opposite and admit that they have violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
But throw out the real situation and see how you answer correctly!
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu took over the words naturally: "Right is right, and wrong is wrong. The imperial court has its laws, but it does not mean that the people's property cannot be protected. These things just prove that the previous dynasty
The law of the Tang Dynasty is no longer suitable for the current environment of the Tang Dynasty. It doesn’t matter, we can talk about anything. Isn’t this rebuilding the laws of the Tang Dynasty? I believe that as long as we think about it seriously, we will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem. The current problems are not
It’s not about who owns the land or who farms it, but about taxes! Take the Wei family in Quyang County as an example. Your Wei family planted 10,000 acres of land, but only paid taxes on 5,000 acres. The difference of the 5,000 acres,
It’s all the imperial court’s loss! Someone must make up for this loss!”
