When Li Ruhua was the head of the household department, he naturally knew that the levy of additional salaries would increase the burden on the people.But the reason why he dared to do this was that there was a war in the imperial court at that time and required a large amount of military salaries, because he also knew that as long as he did not pay additional taxes to the powerful gentry and rich families, he would not cause his reputation to be too bad.After all, the common people will not come to the court to express their opinions.However, Li Ruhua didn't expect that since Fang Shihong began to win over a group of literati Hei Donglin Party, he would now also be hacked by him.but began to speak for the people.Although in normal times, scholars and doctors were very fond of admonishing the king on behalf of the people.But it doesn't mean that everyone really cares about the interests of the people.Li Ruhua really couldn't stand the sharp criticism of him by a group of literati in Chongwen Temple controlled by Fang Shihong.Because it's just too ruthless.actually said that he was worse than Yan Song.Everyone knows that Yan Song is the first traitor of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of the Ming civil officials.Therefore, Li Ruhua is really worried that if these remarks continue to spread like this and even circulate, he will really be unable to guarantee his late childhood.Li Ruhua hurriedly came to the cabinet, found Fang Congzhe, and cried: "Yuanfu!
Where did the old man offend Lingzi!
was scolded to such an extent, he might as well go directly to the court and let His Majesty behead the old man's house!
The old man suggested that he levy more Liao salary for the time of the big Si Nong, but also for the sake of the Daming Society, the old man is not greedy for a penny!
You know that, woo!
”Fang Congzhe saw Li Ruhua crying so sadly, although he felt funny in his heart, he was still kind and comforted on the surface: "Otsuka Zai doesn't have to be so angry, the servant already knows about this, and the servant has already reprimanded that rebel fiercely!"
”"Yuanfu, what Lingzi is doing now is indeed getting more and more excessive, a while ago, the Donglin people were arranged to the point that even three-year-old children said that these people were selfish hypocrites, and now they talked about Otsuka Zai, and scolded Otsuka Zai for being more treacherous than Yan Song, you see, how does this make Otsuka Zai deal with himself?
Looking at this posture, I'm afraid that sooner or later, we, the old ministers, will also gain some notoriety. ”Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also came to the cabinet, and said it as soon as he saw Fang Congzhe.Han Yi also said: "Yes, Yuanfu, you can't ignore this matter, otherwise we can only resign, after all, if we continue to arrange it like this, we will all be shameless to stand in this court!"
”After Wang Yingjiao, the head of the household department, came to the cabinet and said: "But the Liao salary is indeed very harmful to the people, when the governor of Yu Baoping, he has seen with his own eyes that there are people who sell their sons and daughters because of the Liao salary levy, and there are no less than 1,000 households, Baoding is a rich place in the north of Zhili, and therefore the number of displaced people has increased by thousands, and the people in other places can be imagined how miserable they are. ”Li Ruhua glanced at Wang Yingjiao.He felt that Wang Yingjiao's words were a bit harsh, as a colleague, he didn't comfort himself at this time, and even said that he had caused the displacement of the people.But Li Ruhua couldn't directly express his dissatisfaction with Wang Yingjiao, so he only said: "It's okay!"
It's all the sins of the old man, how can the old man have the face to be listed in the court, I have to ask Your Majesty to remove my official position and cure my crimes, as for the salary, whether it is banned or not, it depends on the holy will!
”"If Yuan Fu doesn't care about Lingzi, Sun Mou will have to resign, otherwise I'm afraid that I won't know who Lingzi's people will become."
Sun Ruyou said a little angrily."
Yes!
Even if Otsuka Zai was ashamed of Li Shu back then, he did his best for the society, but now he is said by the noble son, it is really unreasonable, if Yuanfu doesn't care about the order, let him not slander the old ministers in the court, and the servants will not dare to stay in the court anymore. ”Han Yi also spoke.Seeing this, Fang Congzhe sighed first, and said helplessly: "The servant can't control the rebel now, the rebel can now directly enter the palace to ask to see Your Majesty, even if the servant is the first assistant, he has to convey it from the eunuch first, it can be seen that the servant's position in His Majesty's heart is not as good as that rebel!"
What do you let your servants do?
”Fang Congzhe said and said: "However, it is unwise to resign, now because the rebel son is favored by the forbidden court, Gu Bingqian and Feng Quan have begun to form a party with the rebel, if you resign, then the Manchu Dynasty will really be all treacherous and evil people, you are all old ministers, can you really bear to see the court being controlled by a group of villains?"
”Fang Congzhe asked, and everyone fell silent."
The servant must try his best to prevent the rebel son in the family from taking advantage of the favor to make a living, and then ask the public to plan for the Ming Society, endure the humiliation, and work hard for the country!
Suppress evil and promote righteousness!
”Fang Congzhe said with a serious expression, and then said: "Da Si Nong was right just now, Otsuka Zai's matter is very easy to solve, Shang Shu suggested that the imperial court ban Liao Salary, and reopen a new money law The policy can prove that it can clear its name, how can it be reasonable to resign and evade?"
Besides, this is not the work of the great husband, if there is a mistake, it should be corrected, and it is one of the responsibilities of the doctor to establish a life for the people, and since he has been ashamed of the people, he should strive for the people to get rid of this evil government. ”Li Ruhua still didn't speak, only clenched his fists.And Fang Congzhe continued: "What's more, today's saints, the princes also know that although they are very wise and love the people, when the princes asked for money and food for the army and the people, Your Majesty directly took out tens of millions of dollars, which shows his benevolence!"
If we suggest that Your Majesty do the work of the people of the world, abolish the salary, and reintroduce a new policy of money and taxation, so as to increase the treasury, Your Majesty will definitely agree, and will not be harsh on the princes!
Although Liao was proposed by Otsuka Zai back then, it was also approved by the temple after court discussion. ”As he spoke, Fang Congzhe said again: "So the resignation is a hasty move at the moment, which is not only responsible for the monarch's father but also the people, and it is also very unwise, and it is not good for yourself!"
Your Majesty often says that if the people of the world abandon the society, then he will also abandon the world, think about it, why does Your Majesty say this, its original intention is not to bear the government so corrupt!
Therefore, the rule of law is strict!
From the servant's point of view, if the princes are dedicated to state affairs, Your Majesty will not be guilty of the past, but if you really do not read Your Majesty's wishes, the consequences will be unimaginable!
”"What's more, at present, although Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs are ruthless, they are still quite measured, and they have not forcibly planted blame and harmed others, and His Majesty has not relied too much on these people, and still entrusts the great government to us and other ministers, but if we really turn our backs on our father because of this, do you really want to see the eunuch dictatorship and even the dictatorship of martial artists in the future?"
These old ministers are not stupid people, and when they thought that the emperor had said that they were in a hurry to return to Fengyang to rebel, they naturally understood Fang Congzhe's words, and they all bowed their hands and said: "What Yuan Fu said is extremely true!"
”Fang Congzhe therefore bowed his hand to Li Ruhua and Wang Yingjiao: "In this case, we will jointly ask Your Majesty to open a new money tax policy and reform the disadvantages of Liaojiao, how about it?"
”"Anyway, if it's not enough, it's not enough to wash away the sins below, and the lower officials are willing to jointly sign up."
Li Ruhua replied that he had no other choice.Wang Yingjiao couldn't hide his joy and said excitedly: "The lower officials are also willing!"
”"Ladies and gentlemen, please."
Fang Congzhe said that he entered his own duty room and began to write the script himself.And Han Yi frowned at the backs of the three of them, and said in his heart: "Didn't you want to stop Fang Congzhe's son from degrading my doctor so much, why did he suddenly become to assist His Majesty in reforming the government?"
What kind of medicine is this Fang Zhe selling in the gourd, could it be that he let his son do this from the beginning in order to get rid of Liao Yu and reform the money law?
When did he become so dedicated to the country?
