Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

Fortunately, Song Zhen had foresight and took the initiative to bring up the concept of copyright tax. He knew that someone would find fault with this matter.

I have paid taxes, which means that the money I earned is legal.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. It is normal for the Gongsun family and the Hedong Pei family to have internal ghosts.

However, Song Zhen was very unhappy.

Li Yifu cursed in his heart, can you make your fakery more real?

Are they really just a bunch of virtual audiences? They haven't even watched the drama, and they just spray it out?

It was Song Zhen's turn to be aggressive: "Zhongshu Ling, I don't know where I offended you, so that you can discredit me so meanly."

"I'll ask you one last time, do you dare to check the account books?"

"......" Li Yifu was in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing his hesitant look, Song Zhen smiled.

"Oh, I see. You must be envious of me, jealous of me, and hate yourself for not being able to make a lot of money, and can only keep a stable job and receive a fixed salary, so you want to suppress me, right?"

The officials were shocked. Good guy, they started to curse each other?

However, they were already accustomed to it. There were many quarrels in the court of the Tang Dynasty. What surprised them was that Song Zhen was also a fierce man?

I really can't tell.

Li Zhi didn't disturb the two of them, he even adjusted his sitting posture.

"Don't slander me!" Li Yifu couldn't keep smiling anymore, he retorted, "I am a dignified third-rank Zhongshu Ling, why should I envy you?"

The implication is that I am a higher official than you.

Song Zhen walked over and whispered in Li Yifu's ear: "Zhongshu Ling, so what? What can you do to me?"

The blue veins on Li Yifu's forehead were touched imperceptibly.

This kid is really too arrogant! He doesn't take me, the prime minister, seriously!

So, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the copyright tax has been implemented for three months, and no more than a thousand strings of cash have been collected. I suggest that the tax be abolished."

Song Zhen interrupted him, "It is impossible to cancel it. You are short-sighted. What can you see in just three months?"

"Song Zhen, what do you mean?"

"Oh, what do I mean? Don't think I don't know. The copyright tax has torn off the fig leaf of some noble families in the world, so some people are anxious."

When the officials heard this, they all thought of some noble families.

Song Zhen put his hands behind his back and said loudly, "Some noble families claim to be the best in the world, but the copyright tax has been implemented for three months, and no one has paid taxes?"

"Is it just a false reputation, or is it tax evasion?"

"What are you bragging about? All the literary talents in the world come from my family? Ridiculous. Without a single word of knowledge, you can't speak in a coherent manner."

In fact, it's really not the fault of the five surnames and seven families. The talented ones are all heroes who know the times and have run away long ago.

At this time, a censor named Cui couldn't stand it anymore, and he started to criticize directly.

"Song Zhen, are you qualified to criticize some families with your status? They have more background than your Fenzhou Song family. Do you know why they are the top aristocratic families?"

He didn't dare to say the five surnames and seven families directly, because he knew that Li Zhi didn't want to hear these four words.

"Ah, right, right, I don't have the qualifications, but you five surnames and seven families have the qualifications, right?"

Lu Chengqing, who was standing aside, twitched his mouth. Why did you mention that, kid?

Song Zhen looked around and said loudly: "Among the officials standing here, none of them entered the government through the imperial examination."

"I wonder if I am right?"

"If you are, please stand up!"

The Chief Censor surnamed Cui showed a mocking expression: "Song Zhen, you speak so righteously, may I ask if you entered the government through the imperial examination?"

"No, when did I say I was? I am not talented, but I was recommended by Minister of Works Yan Shangshu to enter the government."

After hearing this, Yan Liben saluted to everyone with a playful smile, as if to say, look, I brought you a big treasure, do you like it?

Li Zhi was shocked by Song Zhen's words. It's bad, it seems to be true.

Officials who entered the government through the imperial examination are basically not qualified to become members of the cabinet.

In other words, officials who can stand in the hall are more or less people with backgrounds and backers.

Power is only in the hands of a few people.

What consequences will happen if the power in the hands of those people expands to a certain extent?

Li Zhi dared not imagine.

Li Ji, who was good at observing words and expressions, raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Li Zhi secretly. He noticed the slight change in his majesty's expression and understood it in his heart.

These words were Song Zhen's hint to Li Zhi.

If you want to completely eradicate the influence of the great aristocrats, you must first make them withdraw from the political center.

Is it useful to suppress public opinion alone?

In this regard, Wu Zetian did a good job. Since she came to power, the court has been half and half of the aristocrats and commoners.

Not only Li Ji understood it, but Lu Chengqing also understood it, and he sighed secretly.

Song Zhen, Song Zhen, you accidentally injured friendly forces, do you know that?

Indiscriminate attack, I really don't know what to say.

If Li Zhi is determined to make changes, the first to suffer will definitely be the Bo Ling Cui family, and then the Fan Yang Lu family and the Taiyuan Wang family.

It seems that the back door will be difficult to take in the future.

......

Li Yifu was too lazy to argue with Song Zhen so much, he directly said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, my impeachment is not over yet."

Li Zhi nodded expressionlessly, motioning him to continue.

Encouraged by the saint, Li Yifu's confidence increased. He asked Song Zhen with a smile: "I heard that you are the Dali Temple Secretary?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Then do you know what crime is there for trespassing into a private house?"

Song Zhen answered his question: "Regarding the crime of trespassing into a private house, it is stated in Article 269 of the Tang Law Commentary that anyone who enters a house without reason at night shall be flogged forty times. If the owner kills him immediately, there is no punishment."

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Li Yifu laughed and said: "Then what crime should you be charged for trespassing into Cui's house without permission? Your Majesty, Song Zhen trespassed into Cui's house and caused trouble. His behavior is very bad. Please sentence him!"

Song Zhen raised his right hand and interrupted him: "You don't understand the law. I can teach you, but please don't pretend to understand it."

"Pay attention, there is a key word in it, night! May I ask if I went to Cui's house at night?"

"Also, there are five guards at the door of Cui's house. I am a weak man who can't even tie a chicken. May I ask the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Why did I go through the five generals and went to Cui Mansion? "Li Yifu was dumb, and then he scolded:" Then you have to grab the daughter of the people. " Isn't it a grab? "Song Zhen disdain:" Ah yes, right, a family restricts the personal freedom of the family, and is ignorant, think it makes sense, right? " "What?" "You, you are just making up a story! It's unreasonable!"

"Is it making up a story if you can't argue?"

Song Zhen looked down at Li Yifu coldly, with a disdainful sneer on his face.

Are you playing tricks on me?

I have parents in Zuan for eight years, you have a mother?

Like to laugh? I'll make you cry later!
