Chapter 1488 Building a Beijing Temple Under the Throne

The Great Court Meeting is a gathering to gather people's hearts and demonstrate the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

Over the years, there has never been anything wrong at the Great Court Meeting.

But today, a censor gave the emperor eye drops at the court meeting.

Great day!

However, except for the officials of the Northern Xinjiang Department, most of the people present were disturbed and angry at the emperor's attitude towards slavery.

In this age of low productivity, the servant is the machine.Without these machines, what are meat eaters left with?
Only power remains.

Fields and servants are property, and a meat-eater without property is a fake meat-eater, an empty shelf that can be pushed down.

The emperor wanted to move the slaves, no, he had already done so last time, and he made more than a hundred thousand slaves come out of the country as soon as he made a move, which made the carnivores in Guanzhong hate it to the bone.

Yesterday the emperor once again said, continuing the attitude of the emperor of filial piety: Tang people should not be slaves.

When Emperor Xiao Jing yelled this sentence, he was just a prince.The second sage sat on it, and it was not his turn to call the shots.

But at this moment his son is the emperor.

This is to dig our roots!
Yesterday, the dignitaries were gathering, the clan was gathering, the aristocratic families and powerful people were gathering.

Even wealthy businessmen are partying.

Everyone is guessing whether the emperor's words are true or not.

In the end, most people came to a conclusion: this emperor is playing for real.

Therefore, the atmosphere of today's court meeting is a bit weird.

And the appearance of Lan Yun released this weirdness at once.

There seemed to be more joy in the hall.

I finally got in tune with today's atmosphere.

There was a lot of coldness in Liu Qing's eyes, and the way he looked at Lan Yun was like looking at a dead person.

The officials of the northern Xinjiang department are cold, which is the evaluation of Chang'an official circles.

They fought with Datang's feud in the difficult northern border, fought with those horse thieves, and fought with the three major tribes.They act more straightforwardly, with less cunning.Of course, it's not that they don't know how, but that they don't have time to deal with those things, and they prefer to solve problems straightforwardly.

Luo Cai smiled and searched for Lan Yun's information in his mind.

Then, he smiled more kindly.

There are rumors in the official department: when Luo Shangshu smiles kindly, someone should be in trouble.

Lan Yun felt as if his whole body was wrapped by something, extremely heavy.

But he knew that he had to show a righteous side, otherwise the people behind him wouldn't mind throwing him out to the emperor to vent their anger.

He looks up. "I know that the crime is serious, please punish me!"

This is advancing by retreating.

If the emperor punished him, he would be furious and even guilty.

Therefore, as the official said, within a year or two, the emperor will not touch him.

Lan Yun had good eyesight, and inadvertently noticed that the corners of the emperor's mouth were slightly raised, which turned out to be a mockery.

And the queen who was wearing a hood snorted coldly, and said to the prince: "A bunch of idiots!"

The prince nodded vigorously, "I owe it to you!"

Han Ji and He Lianrong stood together, he whispered: "Whose people?"

He Lianrong shook his head, "It's probably Anzi."

King Liang also came. He looked at the emperor and sighed, "It's the first day after ascending the throne! It's just...hey!"

The emperor spoke.

"You said that well!"

Lan Yun lowered his head, with a mocking look in his eyes.

Is the emperor trying to go downhill?

But your words are in the front, and the water is hard to recover!

"I have been thinking, thousands of years ago, what did your ancestors do?"

The emperor narrated it as if he was talking about his family, but everyone could feel the disdain and sarcasm.

"For thousands of years, everyone's ancestors were farmers, merchants, or craftsmen. Even the Yang family in Yingchuan, their ancestors were just pulling dung trucks thousands of years ago."

Each household dug a latrine, and when the latrine was full, it had to be taken away, otherwise the stench would be overwhelming, and there was no way to evacuate.The things that come out have to be taken away by carts for disposal.

Yingchuan Yang's ancestors were pulling dung carts before they made a fortune.

With the rise of the Yang family in Yingchuan, this period of history no one dared to tell in person.

"Even if it's the Li family, there have been farmers who cultivated the land in their ancestors. No one is born noble!"

"Your ancestors also complained and even complained about their own situation. But once they made a fortune, they changed suddenly, from being enslaved to enslaving others."

"Do unto others, do not impose on others!"

The emperor's words carried the sound of gold and stone, "In my eyes, everyone has only one identity, a person from the Tang Dynasty!"

Ha ha!

If the hall could laugh, it must be roaring with laughter at this moment.

What about you?

Isn't it the people of Tang Dynasty who you commanded yourself?
"The same people from the Tang Dynasty, why should someone be treated as a bull or a horse? I should make the decision for these people!"

The emperor squinted at everyone.

"Some people say that the people I serve in the palace are also slaves. They are right!"

There were some buzzing noises in the hall.

Is the emperor about to slap himself in the face?
This mission has been successfully completed!Lan Yun's eyes were a little happy.

"Therefore, just the day before yesterday, I asked the queen to sort out the roster in the palace. At this moment, the palace is screening, and all servants and palace people who are willing to leave the palace and return home can sign up. Each person in the palace will be given five thousand Qian's severance pay. At this moment, I think the first batch of people are already waiting to leave the palace."

Lan Yun's complexion changed drastically.

Many people's faces changed dramatically, but many people still sneered.

But what about the rest?

"I asked Han Ze yesterday if he would like to leave the palace, and Han Ze said no. I was very curious, so I asked him why. Han Ze said that he had spent half his life in the palace, but now he can only serve people, but he can't do anything. I’m afraid I’ll starve to death after leaving the palace.”

"I asked his relatives, and he said that things have long changed. Even if relatives are still there, we haven't seen each other for many years, and the family relationship has long since faded. Who is willing to support him?"

"The queen suggested that if those who do not want to leave the palace, they should stay in the palace, and they will still be given money every month, leaving them to live in the palace for the rest of their lives!"

Lan Yun's cheeks were trembling.

"Today is the first day of the first year of Yongde, a good day for the renewal of Vientiane. I sent people to spread the word everywhere. From today on, people in the palace are no longer slaves, but servants!"

Lan Yun raised his head, his back wet with sweat.

wrong!

Everyone is wrong!
They misunderstood the emperor!
No one was willing to point a knife at himself, but the emperor cut himself without hesitation.

Squires are not slaves!

But recruited attendants!
The attendant is a free citizen in terms of household registration!

Strictly speaking, they can come and go freely.

The emperor took the lead in setting an example and cut himself a knife.

Then, who would he swing his knife at?
Lan Yun seemed to see the knife hanging above the heads of the meat eaters, and everyone trembled underneath.

The emperor's voice still echoed.

"Those who refuse to leave the palace, the palace will take care of them for the elderly. After this batch of servants, the palace will no longer accept eunuchs. This order starts from today!"

"Your Majesty!" An old official was stunned, "The eunuchs have been eunuchs for more than two thousand years, and they cannot be cut off! Otherwise, what about the harem?"

"The so-called eunuchs are just a deformed system created by men for their own selfish desires. They are worried about being hated by others, but also want to enjoy the pleasure brought by the grand palace group, and enjoy the humility of a master who is served by countless people. How can there be so many good things in the world?"

The emperor said: "This group of servants can no longer work, and the harem is shrinking, mainly recruited maids. As for the male servants, they are outside. The monthly salary is paid by the royal family, which has nothing to do with the court. The two parties signed a contract. How many years is the shortest, how many years is the longest. How many annual vacations..."

A bead of sweat dripped from his forehead on the upper of the shoe, and Lan Yun turned his face to find the official.

At this moment, the official's face was pale.

This change is extraordinarily meticulous, which shows that it was not thought of overnight.

In other words, before the emperor said that people in the Tang Dynasty should not be slaves, the reform palace was in his plan.

The so-called child prodigy jumped into the pit dug by the emperor in one fell swoop.

The hands they drew towards the emperor's face were slapped back.

The emperor's slap is on the way...

"I was supposed to preside over this matter with the queen after the court meeting, and then announce it later. But at this moment, someone can't wait to embarrass me!"

Lan Yun's body shook, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I have a fair heart..."

"Girl girl!"

The emperor swears at the court meeting!
Where is the censor?
The censors were dumbfounded.

"Since I came to the throne, I have repeatedly emphasized one thing. Whoever prevents Zoushu from entering the palace is a traitor. The Outer Court also handed over ten copies of Zoushu to enter the palace yesterday. Han Ze!"

"His Majesty!"

Han Ze stepped forward.

"Is there any memorial from Lan Yun?"

"Your Majesty, none!"

The emperor looked at Lan Yun, "Did you write the memorial?"

"Sir...Sir..."

"The passage leading to the palace is unobstructed, but you didn't go to the memorial. You specially waited until today's court meeting to tell me about this matter. What are you planning?"

"Sir...Sir..."

"What you picture is the promise of those people behind you! What you picture is glory and wealth!"

The emperor said coldly.

"Your Majesty, it is the duty of the censor to advise and persuade!" Lan Yun argued, "I think it would be better to speak in person!"

"You can fool those emperors who are better than women in deep palaces." The emperor pointed to those dignitaries, "There are quite a few people here who hate me to the bone! But who dares to block me today? They don't Dare, a group of old foxes dare not offend me today. But you, a censor, want to shame me in front of the world! Who gave you the courage? Come on!"

"Your Majesty, the censor cannot be punished for speaking out, this is the ancestor's rule!" Someone came out to dissuade him.

"Yes!"

"If Lan Yun is dealt with, it will block the way of speech."

More than ten people defended Lan Yun.

"Is he a fool?" asked the emperor.

Of course not, otherwise the person who promoted him would be dereliction of duty.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have received 35 censor memorials, none of which belong to him."

"There is a censor who suggested that the false emperor and his son will be left alive at that time, and that censor is still alive and kicking..."

The false emperor's father and son are the emperor's mortal enemies, and no one dares to comment on his handling of the censor.

A censor raised his hand, "Your Majesty is magnanimous, making the minister even more daring. Your Majesty, after the court meeting, the minister still has bullets."

"Just pass it in!"

The emperor's eyes turned, "Adhering to the public opinion, even if it is a bit stupid, I can tolerate it."

The censor's face was red.

"People with ulterior motives also want to use some ancestral rules to bind my hands and feet, dreaming. Come here."

"Your Majesty!" Wang Lao Er was not there, and Wu Da came forward with a group of guards.

The emperor pointed to Lan Yun.

"Take it down, let the marble interrogate!"

"Your Majesty..." Lan Yun was dragged out, he looked at the official, who bowed his head.

He looked at those dignitaries, and the dignitaries bowed their heads...

"Who wants to plead for him?"

asked the emperor, standing up.

The murderous aura came vigorously.

No one said a word.

"Your Majesty, today is Yuan Day, be... peaceful!" Someone advised from another angle.

"I started from northern Xinjiang, and there are countless corpses under my feet. When I arrived in Chang'an, my horizontal knife has not rusted. Whoever wants to test my bottom line, just come. I also want to build a Beijing temple under the throne!"
