The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 30 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
After getting Liu Bian's approval, Xue Conggui deliberately showed a look of being flattered, and then showed a look of resignation, saying: "The minister is enjoining you to think hard about the strategy of governing the country. After thinking hard for many days, you will finally get something." , The strategy offered by the minister is called spreading the Ding into the mu."

Xue Conggui deliberately paused for a while to give the civil and military officials some time to think, then cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "As the name suggests, allotment to the mu means that the poll tax is completely abolished, and only the land tax is collected. The amount of land is taxed, so that the rich pay more taxes, the poor pay less taxes, and those who have no land do not need to pay taxes.”

"Huh!"

After Xue Conggui finished speaking, the Xuanzheng Hall was once again full of commotion.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

All civil and military officials looked at each other in disbelief.

Liu Bian took a deep look at Xue Conggui, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the armrest of the dragon chair.

If it had been done before, Liu Bian would have clapped his hands and praised Xue Conggui for his advice.

However, after experiencing many hardships, Liu Bian is no longer the ignorant young man who was ignorant of the world. Now he is an excellent monarch with a keen political sense.

Thinking of Xue Conggui's character and behavior, and then combining these with his abilities, Liu Bian immediately made the most accurate judgment: "Xue Conggui has expert advice behind him."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes silently, looked coldly at Xue Conggui, who was righteous and awe-inspiring, and thought, "This bad guy really has no good intentions, it really makes no sense."

Liu Bian just thought about it for a while, and immediately figured out the key points.

It stands to reason that if Xue Conggui wanted to offer advice to Liu Bian out of sincerity, he should choose to meet Liu Bian in private and explain the reform measures to him alone. The reform plan for the vital interests of the big clan and the local gentry has been spoken out in public, which is clearly making trouble.

Xue Conggui was indeed frightened by Liu Bian, so he took the initiative to come up with a very good reform plan as a last resort, but he knew that this reform measure had already affected the interests of the family, so he acted on the basis of The idea of ​​coping with the errand was brought up in public. The purpose of doing so was to deliver a perfect answer to Liu Bian, and invisibly add a great resistance to this reform measure, because Xue Conggui was with Like a mirror, it is impossible for this reform plan to be passed, because the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely not allow such a reform measure that touches their own interests to exist in the world today.

Liu Bian looked at everything in the hall coldly, but he didn't have the slightest intention to speak first.

Therefore, while Liu Bian was watching coldly, Zhong Lifu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up first. He bowed to Liu Bian with grief and indignation, and immediately raised his hand and pointed at Xue Conggui, saying: "It looks like a country is established. The act of benefiting the people is actually a hidden confusion. Once it is implemented, it will encounter great resistance. The prime minister knows that things cannot be done, but he still insists on going his own way. His actions are really trying to trap His Majesty in injustice. Please kill this thief. To set the record straight."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry fell behind, and Lei Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, also stood up and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded imperceptibly to Yuwen Chengdu and Chai Shao's questioning gazes.

Seeing this, the two immediately showed a look of understanding.

Therefore, Chai Shao, who had been promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

Yuwen Chengdu: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Following the statements of several important ministers in the court, those ministers who originally maintained a neutral attitude also stood up with the intention of taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

With Liu Bian's acquiescence, as the matter developed, almost all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood up except for a few of Xue Conggui's hard-core confidants.

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty spoke one word, pointing their finger at Xue Conggui, saying: "Please kill this official."

Seeing this, Xue Conggui, who was originally planning to deal with an errand, and who was disgusted by Liu Bian, immediately felt paralyzed.

Xue Conggui was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he fought back and forth, and said bravely, "Chen Chen. I invite the Holy Judge."

Xue Conggui hesitated for a long time, but he was surprised to find that he had no other choice but to stand on the emperor's side, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and made the most helpless choice.

"Zhao Yu misunderstood me." Xue Conggui thought with ashamed heart.

There is indeed a capable person behind Xue Conggui, and this capable person is Zhao Yu, one of the eight major lieutenants of the Beijing Camp.

Zhao Yu is a person with lofty ideals and political ambitions. He knows that he does not have the ability to influence the government, so he quietly found Xue Conggui, intending to realize his political ambitions through Xue Conggui.

Looking at the remaining five officials in the imperial class, Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction, then stood up silently, and said: "I have something to say first, the court discusses politics, and everyone should express their own opinions. I have absolutely no reason to blame. The prime minister is mature and prudent, and he should be rewarded for offering advice to the country, so what is the crime?"

Liu Bian glanced at the faces of Wen and Wu of the Manchu Dynasty, and said, "Since ancient times, there has been a saying of admonishing the death of literature and fighting to the death of martial arts. Are you acting like this to block the way of speech?"

Liu Bian suddenly raised his voice, glared at Zhong Lifu, and said, "Da Sikong, do you want to rebel?"

Da Sikong is the elegant name of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhong Lifu was startled when he heard the words, he quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed his head and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for making a slip of the tongue."

Liu Bian snorted coldly, stopped talking to Zhong Lifu, and turned his gaze to Lei Li, Minister of the Household Department, and shouted: "Big Situ, what do you mean?"

"I was confused for a while, and was bewitched by Master Zhongli, so I made a big mistake. It was really an unintentional mistake. Please forgive me for the crime of recklessness."

As Lei Li said, he found a place beside Zhonglifu, and knelt down silently.

When Zhonglifu heard this, his eyes almost burst into flames, he gave Lei Li a hard look, as if he was going to tear him alive in public.

Meeting Zhong Lifu's gaze, Lei Li snorted heavily, then turned his head to the side and stopped looking at him.

Seeing that the two leaders had already made the choice to admit their mistakes actively, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty followed their example and knelt down to admit their mistakes to Liu Bian.

"The subject was bewitched by the traitor because he didn't notice it for a while. It was really an unintentional mistake. Please be aware of it, Your Majesty." The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said in unison.

This time it was Zhonglifu's turn to sit on the wax.

"Take the bamboo shoots."

Looking at the shameless civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhonglifu showed an expression of wanting to cry without tears, and said in his heart: "In just a blink of an eye, how come the old man has changed from being a person who kills harm for the people to suddenly becoming a What about traitors? This group of bastards who are used to seeing the wind and the wind make me really angry."

Right now.

Zhuge Yan suddenly raised his voice and announced to the ministers: "Retire."

When Manchao Wenwu looked up to the direction of the imperial steps again, he found that Liu Bian was no longer there.

Zhuge Yan silently came in front of Xue Conggui, and said: "Master Xue, Your Majesty, please go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to have a talk."
