silly elixir emperor

Fang Yuanfu's majestic eyes swept across the group of officials below, fell on Zhou Yiyan again, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Aiqing, the Prime Minister is an important official of the court. If you want to be an important official of this court, you must have sufficient evidence."

Fang Yuanfu didn't say much, but all the officials in the palace could understand the meaning of what he said, if you, Zhou Yiyan, are looking for trouble this time, and you don't have enough evidence to participate in Chang Ganze, then you should step down as soon as possible, and the emperor will not will trouble you.But if you still mess around with Chang Ganze like other county kings before, then I won't let you go!

"Of course, the old minister has evidence." Zhou Yiyan bowed slightly, and said, "The old minister wants to join the prime minister's son to commit murder. Just yesterday, the old man's grandson was beaten to death by the prime minister's son at the gate of the city in public. Then The old man's son went to the prime minister's mansion to reason, but was beaten out by the prime minister's son."

Zhou Yiyan said a word, turned his head to look at the officials, and said in a very upright voice: "Everyone, the prime minister has always flaunted justice, and said that the country should be governed by law, and law is greater than emotion. But yesterday, the old man knew that he was He said one thing and did another! He demanded torture for others, but when he faced his own son, he covered it up. I always think that such a person can never be a prime minister!"

As Zhou Yiyan said, he turned around again and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Fang Yuanfu who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said, "Please ask the Holy Majesty to judge!"

"That's right, I also feel that Chang Ganze is not suitable to be prime minister!"

Zhou Yiyan was still kneeling on the ground, and beside him, Li Yuncai strode out from among the generals.

"My Majesty, just yesterday, Jiang Heng, the city gate general who was on duty at the North City Gate, was beaten to death by a young man. Later, we personally investigated and found that the man who killed General Jiang Heng was Chang Sheng, the son of Prime Minister Chang Ganze! Your Majesty, it is a capital offense for Chang Sheng to kill the general, but after Chang Ganze found out, he not only refused to report, but also used his official position to cover Chang Sheng. His behavior is definitely not suitable for the prime minister of our Daqi Dynasty !"

"That's right, King Zhou and General Li are right, how can such an unfair person be the prime minister of our Great Qi Dynasty!"

"That's right, please ask the Holy Lord to make a ruling for the dead Duke of Zhou and General Jiang Heng..."

As Zhou Yiyan and Li Yuncai stood up one after another, soon, almost all the county kings and generals in the hall stood up and attacked Chang Ganze together.Even on the civilian side, several officials also stood up.

"Hey……"

Fang Yuanfu looked at the large crowd kneeling under his feet, and sighed in his heart. It seems that the reform opportunity between himself and Qian Ze Aiqing was carried out too early and too violently!

But that’s something that can’t be helped. Now that the Daqi Dynasty has become extremely decayed, the interior is becoming more and more turbulent. However, the countries are getting stronger and stronger one by one. If reforms are not carried out, and the people are not enriched and the country is strengthened, the Qi Dynasty will either be destroyed by the surrounding countries, or it will collapse within itself.

I can't watch the dynasty established by my ancestors perish in my own hands. At this time, I can only prescribe strong medicine and carry out drastic reforms. , It is still positive and negative, and the opposition is much louder than I imagined.

Fang Yuanfu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhou Yiyan who was kneeling below with great dissatisfaction. Zhou Yiyan's grandson was beaten to death. If he was beaten to death by someone else's child, maybe he would not have made such a fuss, but he was beaten by Chang Ganze's son. Death is different.

Zhou Yiyan and the princes hated Chang Ganze to death because of the political reform.

Among Chang Ganze's reforms, there is one called Qingmiao Emperor Bestowed Method.

Most of the land of the dynasty is concentrated in the hands of the officials of Song Dynasty, hereditary princes and those big landlords. The land in the hands of ordinary people is either small or barren, and it is not suitable for farming at all. land.

It’s not just renting the land, what’s more important is that they can’t afford the tools and seedlings in the pit, so they can only borrow it!

Those wealthy households will not be overwhelmed with sympathy and lend land, tools, and seeds to farmers for free. They can borrow, but they must charge extremely high interest.

In this way, after the harvest and the farmers paid the interest, the remaining grain was only enough for their family to survive the winter until the next spring.Then in the second year, they have to borrow land, seeds, and tools again.

In this way, day after day, year after year, the rich do not have to do anything, but they get richer every year, and the poor work hard for a year, but they can only make ends meet. I can live better, but in case of a natural disaster, there is almost only one end, selling myself as a slave to repay the debt owed!

After Chang Ganze discovered this problem, he proposed the Young Seedling Emperor's Bestowment Law, whereby the government directly lent farmers land, seeds and tools, and the interest was much lower than those of big families and wealthy households. More importantly, the government could forbear these For one year, the farmers can only repay the first year's lease after they harvest again the next day.

In this way, with a one-year grace period, farmers can use their own harvest to do a lot of things, and slowly, their lives will improve, and then reverse the Daqi Dynasty, where those who work more get less, and those who do not work A lot of deformed social status quo.

But at the same time, those wealthy households, especially the county kings who have more land, have been lending money, their interests have been greatly divided!

Chang Ganze came up with such an idea. How could those county kings not hate him? Usually, they often attacked Chang Ganze, but they always stood firmly on Chang Ganze's side, so they didn't let Chang Ganze step down. , But today, something seems wrong!

Chang Ganze's son actually killed someone, even a general of the army, this is no small matter!

Fang Yuanfu didn't need to do it deliberately, as if he was born with infinite majesty, his eyes passed Zhou Yiyan and landed on Chang Ganze, showing a hint of worry: "Chang Aiqing, what do you have to say to them?" said?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I do have something to say, and this minister also has something to participate in. The one I want to participate in is King Zhou!"

Chang Ganze's face was as usual, his expression was indifferent, and he did not show a trace of panic because of the impeachment of the officials: "Your Majesty, King Zhou Jun said that my child beat his grandson to death. The grandson of Duke Zhou died, but that happened for a reason."

"Yesterday, my son Chang Sheng just came to the capital, but at the gate of the capital, a female family member of my family was molested by the grandson of Duke Zhou. The female family members of the Chang family, facing such a scum, my son should take care of the people and execute that scum. And my son also has the identity of Captain Xun, although that is the official position he got when he was in Mengshan City. However, as Lieutenant Xun, no matter in any city, he should fulfill his duties, and my son sat there!"

Chang Ganze looked up at the emperor Fang Yuanfu on the dragon chair with a righteous face, and said respectfully: "So, Your Majesty, my son is not only innocent, but should be commended!"

"Well... that's true!"

Fang Yuanfu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Chang Ganze's words, but seeing his expression, Zhou Yiyan became anxious!

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Chang Ganze's nonsense. This is not the case at all. It was his family members who knocked down my family. My grandson Zhou Shiqiang reasoned with them. Chang Ganze's son Chang Sheng didn't stop at all. Just shoot me and my grandson to death. Things are not what Chang Ganze said, Your Majesty, and he has no evidence to prove that things are what he said!"

"Oh?"

Fang Yuanfu looked up at Chang Ganze: "Chang Aiqing, do you have evidence to prove what you said?"

"I don't have any." Chang Ganze shook his head. At the gate of the city yesterday, many people must have seen Zhou Shiqiang of the Zhou family robbing people from their Chang family, but the problem is that this matter involved a prince and another The current prime minister, not to mention ordinary civilians, even people from other high-ranking families are unwilling to get involved, because no matter what they do, they will offend the whole family.

No one would foolishly come forward as a witness for this kind of thing, so there are no witnesses for both of them!

"Chang Aiqing has no witnesses, so what about King Zhou? Do you have witnesses to prove everything you said?" Fang Yuanfu asked Zhou Yiyan again, and got the same word "No".

"Oh, since there are no witnesses on either side, then..."

Fang Yuanfu was talking when suddenly, a person stood out from the crowd.

"Your Majesty, you are today's Holy Majesty. What you want to care about is the country's major affairs. For such trivial matters, since neither party has enough evidence to prove that what they said is correct, then let others judge it. Your Majesty, such trivial matters How can I bother you so much?"

"Well, Grand Master Fei is right."

Fang Yuanfu smiled and praised, looking down at the old man in the octopus unicorn court uniform with a silver whip pinned to his waist, a gleam of light flashed in the corner of his eyes!

Grand Master Fei, the oldest official in the court!It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the elder of the Three Dynasties.Think back when his grandfather was in power, Fei Gong was already an important minister of the court!At that time, people still called him Fei Dongyan by his real name. When his grandfather was in power, the dynasty was in turmoil.

It was Fei Dongyan who made great contributions to helping his grandfather stabilize the political situation.Afterwards, his grandfather abdicated and his father ascended to the throne. Fei Dongyan's status went further and he became the elder of the two dynasties, and his power became more and more powerful.Gradually, his father also discovered that Fei Dongyan had too much power, but when he wanted to deal with Fei Dongyan, his father went berserk and passed away during a practice.
