I am the carpenter king

() Looking at Sun Chengzong who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Yaoqi walked slowly to his side and gently helped him up.Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "Sir, do you know the consequences of doing this? You have offended too many people, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to end well!"

Saluted Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have no other pursuits in my life. I just hope that one day I can see the great Ming Dynasty. If I can see it, I will die without regret. But Your Majesty, if that day really happens, I hope Your Majesty can leave a queen for the Sun family, I can't let my ancestors down!"

Seeing the sincerity on Sun Chengzong's face, Emperor Yaoqi suddenly felt something blocked his throat and his eyes were swollen.Turning around gently, he walked up to the Long Shuan slowly. Although the distance was very close, Emperor Yaoqi walked very slowly.It seems that every step is very hard, and every step is very firm.

Lifting up the dragon robe lightly, and sitting on the dragon chair with a sullen face, Emperor Yaoqi's whole demeanor changed immediately.

Sun Chengzong standing below naturally felt it, but he didn't understand why, as if in a flash, Emperor Yaoqi became calm.On Emperor Yaoqi's body, something was added, but something seemed to be missing.

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi said with a serious expression: "As a subject, Aiqing is pious for the country. As a young son, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, some things have borne the brunt of things since then, and I will not allow them to enter."

"Your Majesty, I understand His Majesty's intentions, but you must leave room for your actions. Your Majesty's leeway is your Majesty's leeway. Once there is any conflict in the future, Your Majesty will have room for maneuver, and His Majesty's statement will not be compromised. Once there is a day in the future , the emperor killed the minister to appease the anger of the public. If the minister did it, then your Majesty will naturally see it, wise and powerful!" Saluting to Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong continued.

Gently shaking his head, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "Sir, you are my teacher, although you have not given me anything. But it is not the teacher's fault, the students themselves, after all, Jing always makes you too tired But if I have time today, I will ask Mr. a question."

Slightly stunned, Sun Chengzong did not expect Emperor Yaoqi to say such a thing, and he couldn't help saying respectfully: "Your Majesty, please speak, I know everything, and I can say everything!"

Pointing to the chair, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Sir, sit down! What I want to discuss with Mr. today is a person, and this person is Chao Cuo from the Han Dynasty!"

Hearing this name, Sun Chengzong was taken aback. This Chao Cuo was a famous official of a generation, and this person had a very great reputation in history.Glancing at Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong asked with a smile, "I wonder what your Majesty wants to know about Chao Cuo?"

Looking at Sun Chengzong with a smile, Emperor Yaoqi said indifferently: "Although I am a disciple of Mr., I have never listened to Mr.'s lectures seriously. Mr. Yao will give me a lecture today!"

He glanced at Emperor Yaoqi quite touched, and Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Since your Majesty wants to hear it, I have no reason not to agree, so I will first talk about Chao Cuo's entry. Chao Cuo is the teacher of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty." , After Han Jingdi ascended the throne, he became a doctor of imperial history. Chao Cuo was a very talented person. He summed up the experience of the demise of the Qin Dynasty, advocated reform, and abolished bad governance. Because the Han Dynasty was threatened by the Huns, Chao Cuo It is wrong to advocate that the people who migrated to the frontier fortification should build a long-lasting and permanent fortress. First stop the looting of the Huns, and then counterattack!"

Sun Chengzong stopped when he said this, because Emperor Yaoqi was looking at him with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "Your Majesty, what is wrong with what I said?"

Smiling calmly, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice, "Sir, do you feel that you are very similar to Chao Cuo?"

Hearing Emperor Yaoqi's words, Sun Chengzong was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to say anymore!"

Smiling softly, Emperor Yaoqi walked down slowly, and said calmly: "Since Mr. doesn't say anything, then I will say it. Chao Cuo is indeed a very capable person, and he really wants to be a Do something for your own country. It is because of such thoughts and beliefs that Chao Cuo is constantly fighting for and struggling.”

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "Just like Mr., for his own country, for his own ideals, for his own ambitions, he is willing to sacrifice everything. It is because of this motivation and thought that Chao Cuo is working hard. Then, he discovered a very serious problem. The Han Dynasty was facing a crisis, a crisis that was enough to cause chaos and the country to fall apart. That was the enfeoffment system established by Han Gaozu Liu Bang, which seemed to be a family. But by the time of Emperor Han Jing, it had already become the source of the turmoil in Yaoxia."

Nodding his head slowly, Sun Chengzong also said quite appreciatively: "Yes! That's it, every dynasty has its disadvantages!"

Seeing that Sun Chengzong didn't go on, and Emperor Yaoqi didn't care, he continued: "Chao Cuo thinks so, and he does it the same way. But Chao Cuo is good at planning the country, but clumsy at planning his own life. Maybe not. The feudal clan involved too many people's interests. He believed that he was doing it for the good of the royal family and his emperor's students. In his opinion, as long as his emperor's students could trust him and implement the policy of reducing the feudal clan that he formulated, That will definitely work.”

Shaking his head slowly, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "But Chao Cuo never thought that his emperor's student was too indecisive and didn't listen to him. Most during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, his most trusted person would The butcher's knife was pointed at him. When Chao Cuo died again, he might not have thought that he would fall back to such an end."

Sighing deeply, Sun Chengzong said in a rather heavy tone: "Yes! In order to quell the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, Chao Cuo was killed in the city, but it was of no avail. His death was not worth it!"

Taking a deep look at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi said with a serious face: "Sir is my Chao Cuo, capable of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but I can't be Emperor Han Jing. This matter can't be put in front of Mr. Once something happens, Mister will definitely become the target of public criticism. But I am different, as long as I insist on doing it, even if everyone opposes it, as long as it is beneficial to the people of Liaodong, there is no problem. If those people want to rebel, there is no basis, and it is justifiable for me to rebel .”

"Your Majesty, the matter is of great importance, and I feel that we should take a long-term view!" Sun Chengzong smiled wryly and shook his head, originally thinking that he was the one who persuaded Emperor Yaoqi, but he did not expect Emperor Yaoqi to convince himself the other way around.

Shaking his head vigorously, Emperor Yaoqi said in a deep voice: "Sir, there is a saying that you should not stop, but you will suffer from chaos. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty finally had the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion because of the constant decision. He thought he had killed Chao Cuo." You can go back everything, but in fact he is wrong. The desire of a person is unlimited. If you get this today, you will want a bigger one tomorrow. The only thing you can get in exchange for compromise is to make more progress. There was no such thing as before. Qualified, but now I have it."

Walking slowly to Sun Chengzong's side, Emperor Yaoqi looked at Sun Chengzong expectantly, and said with a serious face: "Sir, I am determined, and I am ready to join us. But I need Mr. Support, I need Mr. to provide me with a foundation to make a difference!"

Seeing that Emperor Yaoqi hadn't been persuaded by Fa, Sun Chengzong was relieved that his emperor's student had grown up.Giving a salute to Emperor Yaoqi, Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "Your Majesty said that as long as the minister can do it, he will definitely go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants!"

Looking at Sun Chengzong's serious look, Emperor Yaoqi was certain in his heart, but his eyes were full of determination.Taking a deep look at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi said solemnly: "Sir, I need an army, an army that is invincible, invincible, and capable of attacking anything. There are still many things I want to do. , without such an army, my heart is not at ease!"

Seeing what Emperor Yaoqi said was serious, Sun Chengzong immediately became serious, and he naturally understood what Emperor Yaoqi said.I can't help but admire Emperor Yaoqi, at such a young age, he doesn't procrastinate in things, doesn't worry about being indecisive, and has already begun to look like a wise king!Nodding vigorously, Sun Chengzong said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty doesn't say anything, I'm going to do it! The war in Liaodong has stabilized, and the conditions for military training have been met. I have already made up my mind. This time Get ready to go back.”

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then the first place to do experiments is in Liaodong. Liaodong already has mature conditions, and it is just right to start from Liaodong!"

Seeing Emperor Yaoqi talking more and more excited, Sun Chengzong couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he said in a deep voice, "I don't know what His Majesty's plan is?"

Looking at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "I am going to divide Liaodong separately, establish a du li Liaodong province, and divide all the administrative and military affairs of Liaodong from the six departments. Instead of entrusting the affairs of Liaodong to them, Instead, I will carry out reforms myself! Re-count the entrances to Liaodong, re-measure the land in Liaodong, and attack the rich and evil gentry. The most important point is that I plan to reform the existing tax system, but try it out in Liaodong first!"

Emperor Yaoqi's last words frightened Sun Chengzong. The previous reforms are nothing, because Zhang Juzheng also did it back then.But the last item is different. Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Yaoqi with some worries, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty wants to do with this tax reform?"

Taking a look at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Yaoqi could naturally see the worry in his eyes, but since he decided to do it, he must do it to the end!Emperor Yaoqi's complexion changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The agricultural tax will be reduced, the commercial tax will be increased, and the officials and gentry will pay the same taxes as the common people.
