Chapter 317 (1/2)
The silence in the court makes everyone feel a strange pressure. Everyone is thinking about it. Now the two parties are against each other. In the face of such a situation, how will the prince make a decision?
Some people have even thought that if the prince's highness succumbs to the noble family, will he be able to remonstrate the prince when his majesty goes to court? As for the reason, do you have to think about it? Any grasp is enough to catch a large number of reasons to depose Prince Li Hong.
Several officials in the East Palace, headed by shangguanyi, Yang Sijian and Xu Yanshi, who can participate in the political discussion, are frowning and solemn at the moment. If they don't know how serious the crisis the prince is facing, they will live in vain.
Any negligence will attract the merciless attack of the five surnamed seven families and the noble families. Now, because of the new money and the old money, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong and do not give in to each other.
Today's event is the government affairs that have been brewing for a few days. Your majesty and the queen have not appeared yet. Does this mean that your majesty and the queen have chosen to let her royal highness face it alone? What is their position? Do you support your royal highness? Or support the five surnames and seven families, noble families and so on?!
The silence in the hall continued. Behind the screen, Li Zhi and Wu Mei were still waiting for the development of the situation. Only Li Zhi tightened the memorial in his hand and kept silent with Empress Wu Mei to see how Li Hong would make decisions.
Is it the sharp reformers headed by his Highness the prince, who continue to play with the annual income of the Tang Dynasty for half a year, or choose to compromise with the five surnamed seven families and the noble families when it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong?
The emperor's relatives and nobles look leisurely. His highness may be able to reach an agreement with the five surnames and seven families in private, and gradually settle the disputes. But now, he has moved such a big event to the court hall beyond his capacity. Moreover, judging from the current situation, he has not received the support of his majesty and the queen. Now, can he fight against the five surnamed seven families alone?
Now a Jinyang Wang's trouble, has let him into a dilemma, not to mention his others have not officially launched a disaster.
The needle can be heard from the court. Everyone is waiting for the prince's choice, especially Wang Yuan, the owner of Wang's family in Jinyang. Now he looks at ease and smiles, and looks secure.
Wang Yifang, Kong Zhiyue and Cao Wang Li Ming are all close contacts with Wang family. As the head of the family, they stand on the court hall, but they want to give his royal highness a face. At the same time, it is also necessary to prove in the court that the Wang family in Jinyang is not declining and is still a major pillar of the imperial court.
”Sometimes, one pays more for what one gets for nothing. There is a saying in the book of the later Han Dynasty that the world knows that taking is taking, but not knowing that it is taking. They all think that getting other people's things is a kind of harvest, but they don't know that giving others is also a kind of harvest. But this solution? Confucius university Li Hong faintly utters a voice and asks Kong Zhiyue, who stands haughtily.
”The prince's highness is brilliant in learning, and he is really doing so.” Kong Zhi asked Fu to nod back.
”Xunzi · Wang Zhi Pian” says: ”the common people are in peace, and then the gentleman is in a position.” It is said: ”the king is the boat; the common man is the water. The water carries the boat, and the water covers the boat.” In Zhenguan political figures on political system, the former Emperor and Wei Zheng also said: ”the monarch and the boat are also; the people and the water are also. Water can carry and capsize a boat. But now some people do not abide by the law of the state, exploit the old money of the people, lower the price for exchange, and then exchange it with the court at a high price. Is this behavior for the country or for yourself? ” Li Hong felt that his teeth were sour. He had already shaken his head by pulling two words from ancient books.
”Your Highness, this is not true. We just share the worries of the court and exchange old money with the people to reduce the burden of the court. The purpose is to exchange the new money in a unified way, so that the new money can come into normal faster. There is no exploitation of the people.” Wang Yuan is more than 70 years old. His legs and feet are very sharp. He should be trying to show the prestige of his master. So he walked out two steps with a stick in his hand.
”Isn't it necessary to thank the founding magistrate for the imperial court?” Li Hong got up slowly and walked down step by step. There was a strong heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes, which was the same as that of killing and cutting when he had just returned to Chang'an from Anxi.
He stopped at a place not far from Wangyuan, looked at Wang Yuan and asked, ”since Kaiguo Jungong thinks that this is a convenient way for the people of Tang Dynasty and share the worries of the court, why don't you give the old money from the people to the imperial court, and why don't you go to the Royal Bank of Taiyuan government to exchange it
For one Wen to one Wen, the common people would have to pay at least 200 Wen for the money that had been used to be 700 Wen in the hands of the Wang family. However, when it was exchanged with the imperial court, it required one to one Wen and two yuan, or even higher.
”If the amount is too much, the old minister needs time to take stock of it. Even some of the money is rusty and needs to be cleaned before it can be reused. As for one Wen to one Wen, I have never done so. The people always give the old minister 800 Wen, while the old minister gives the common people 1000 Wen... ”
”Full of lies! Where is di Renjie? ” Li Hong's body flashed a trace of killing intention, interrupted Wang Yuan, who was the founder of the second grade, and cheered.
Di Renjie walked through the crowd, but Li Hong kept staring at Wang Yuan and said, ”I don't know the crime of not exchanging money with the imperial court for a long time, but I still argue with the reason that the number is too much! I think you need to bury the new money in the soil for a period of time before you can take it out, so you have been waiting for the old money to be unearthed! ””Your Highness, you can't talk about it in vain. As the head of Wang's family, I've been honest and aboveboard for many years. Even when the former Emperor was alive, he would not criticize him like this. Moreover, the old minister and the Wang family in Jinyang have been...”
”Right and wrong! Look for yourself Di Renjie just walked to Li Hong's side, before the documents in his hand could be handed to Li Hong, he was robbed by Li Hong and photographed to Wang Yuan.
Turning around and ignoring Wang Yuan's old face to be angry, for so many years, no one has ever dared to treat himself in such an attitude. Even today's Emperor Li Zhi, he is also treated with courtesy!
