In fact, today's court meeting, strictly speaking, has ended here, it was originally a court meeting to announce to the people of the world that he Liu Xie was in power, on meritorious deeds, and the military power was captured in his hands, and the mess left by Li Dao and Guo Yan could only be cleaned up slowly, which involved not only tax issues, but also countless interests involved.
It's easy to talk about tax cuts, but Liu Xie's unnamed institution that he said was going to be used to supervise the county officials, and in the eyes of many people, it was even more problematic than the Xiliang army.
To put it simply, when Li Dao Guo Yan was in charge of the government, in order to confront Li Dao Guo Yan, the local officials increased the tax to the maximum in the name of the imperial court, but I am afraid that even half of it was not enough to hand over to the imperial court, and it is a question where the other taxes went.
The most important thing is that he is accustomed to obtaining such huge profits, and now that Liu Xie is in power, he will take back these profits, which has almost touched the interests of almost the entire officialdom in Guanzhong.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, the old minister thinks that you should be cautious and not reckless" Ding Chong frowned.
"I have to be reckless" Liu Xie's eyes swept over the courtier's face, shook his head and smiled: "If you continue to toss like this, in less than two years, the fertile soil in this pass will be uninhabited for thousands of miles, I can't let my soldiers go hungry to defend the country, and I can't let my people starve to death in the coming winter." ” "What Your Majesty said is reasonable" Fan Chou couldn't help but say loudly excitedly when he heard this.
They all thought that the Xiliang Army had been in charge of the government for the past two years and had a good life, but who could know, in fact, it was precisely because there was no rice to go to the pot that Li Dao and Guo Yan had to raise taxes again and again.
"The last general also believes that His Majesty's words are the key point in Guanzhong now, the people of Sanfu Land, who have suffered from war and chaos over the years, coupled with Li Guo's two thieves' exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, a large number of Guanzhong people have to leave their hometowns, causing my Guanzhong land and people's livelihood to wither, and now Li Guo's two thieves have been ambushed, these unhealthy tendencies, it is time to cure them" Xu Huang took a step forward and echoed.
Although the rest of Fang Sheng and the generals of Xiliang did not make a sound, it was obvious that now the two highest-ranking generals in the DPRK and China had clearly stood on Liu Xie's side, and everyone suddenly realized that although His Majesty was in power for the first time, he had firmly held the military power in his hands, and more importantly, although the one in front of him was young, he was obviously not as easy to fool as Li Dao and Guo Yan.
"Two generals, step back first."
Liu Xie waved his hand, signaled the two of them to be restless, looked at the ministers and said: "This matter is related to the national fortune of my Han family, I am not discussing with you, but this matter has already been decided, Xu Huang and Fan Chou."
"The last general" The two of them took a step forward and bowed.
"From today onwards, the two generals should gather their military power as soon as possible, garrison each county, garrison 200 troops in each county, control the city gate, someone wants to leave, I will not force me to stay, but not a grain of food in the city is allowed to leave the city" Liu Xie said in a deep voice.
"The last general commands" Fan Chou and Xu Huang glanced at each other, and they all agreed.
"I will then order the relevant edicts to be sent to the counties, and on the day the order arrives, the officials of the counties will immediately execute it, post the examples, and if anyone obstructs the people from redressing their grievances by any means, I will be prosecuted."
"The last general commands" Fan Chou and Xu Huang agreed loudly.
Liu Xie stood up, glanced at the ministers with different faces, shook his head and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if there is nothing else, then retreat." ” After speaking, he ignored everyone and left with the two little yellow doors.
Xu Huang and Fan Chou and the generals of Xiliang did not stay long, just as Liu Xie said, the soldiers and horses of Xiliang are now divided into various parts of Guanzhong, and these soldiers and horses should be collected back as soon as possible to avoid causing disasters, and at the same time, Liu Xie's orders must be implemented as soon as possible.
Xu Huang summoned Fang Sheng, and after the three of them discussed it together, they finally decided to send soldiers and horses to guard Hangu Pass and other key points, lest anyone want to take the opportunity to leave Guanzhong with grain and grass, and at the same time, Xu Huang and Fan Chou each led 3,000 soldiers and horses to cruise outside the city, announcing the decision of the imperial court to collect the various armies.
Although Li Dao and Guo Yan did not leave any generals, the number of generals with average ability is really quite a lot, these people have just been demoted by Liu Xie, and now they are the most active group of people who are eager to make meritorious contributions.
Among the high-level generals, there are many children of the family, but among the grassroots generals, the children of the family are almost stunts, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Xie's orders can be perfectly implemented.
"Taifu, you see this" Yang Biao and others went out of Weiyang Palace, but did not leave, Ding Chong, Sima Fang, Zhong Xuan and other ministers came straight to Taifu's mansion, for Liu Xie's last statement today, everyone was a little uneasy in their hearts, does this represent a sign that His Majesty is ready to make a move on the family.
"It's because they're too ugly."
Yang Biao shook his head with a little headache, among the people present, he was one of the people who knew best why Liu Xie wanted to be so decisive and had no room for rectification.
Yes, Liu Xie wants to rectify the rule of officials because of this matter, and everyone present, even including himself, and the family will be affected to a certain extent, but if he doesn't do this, and then let these people be as unrestrained as before, it is equivalent to scraping another knife when the court is seriously ill.
Even if there is no Li Dao and Guo Yan, if this matter is not handled, it will still be difficult for the Han family to revive, which is also the reason why although there is some reluctance in my heart, I did not express my position in the court before.
Liu Xie is not Li Dao or Guo Yan, although he is young, he sees these things very thoroughly, and his methods are quite sophisticated, and he can't tell that he is a teenager who is less than eleven years old.
Only punish the first evil, and the rest will be punished lightly, so that he quickly gathered the military heart, and with the military heart in hand, many things are much easier to do, the family is powerful, but it is also not as big as the imperial power, don't look at the history of Cao Cao was so troubled by the side that he almost lost his foundation, that is because Cao Cao's identity is a prince, and Liu Xie is the son of heaven, if it is messed up, the result is not yet known, but the leader has absolutely no good end, even if the court is overthrown, the name of the chaotic minister and thief cannot be taken away.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Looking at everyone's ugly faces, Yang Biao sighed, shook his head and said: "I know this matter, there are many violations on your family, but this matter is related to the future of the imperial court, and it is also related to the future of us. ” "What Taifu said is reasonable."
For Yang Biao's words, there are very few responders.
It's okay for them to wave their flags and shout, but if they want to lose their own interests for the future of the Han family, most people don't have this awareness, not to mention that in this turbulent year, people's minds have changed, whether it is the Son of Heaven or the princes, they should rely on them, not ask them to pay.
Yang Biao shook his head, the words had already been ordered, as for listening or not listening, people's minds were beyond his control. t1706231537:
