V3.Chapter 107 (1/2)

Being stopped by this self-called ”Yena” Dinu to give the horse, this day Wei Changying and Shen zangfeng failed to take Shen Shuyan out of the city to play. It's not that they were entangled by the di Nu, but that they didn't say three or two words. The sweating Diecui pass guard found them in person. Before the salute, he handed over 800 li of urgent documents and Shen zangfeng's eyes.

Shen zangfeng knew that things were not small, so he was not suitable to open it in full view of the public, so he got off his horse and boarded the car to start the list.

At this sight, Shen zangfeng's face is instantly livid!

Because of the limited space in the carriage, Wei Changying is covering Shen Shuyan's eyes to prevent her from peeking at the contents of the document, so that the niece, who can see the secret at a glance and never forget it, will not be so young that she accidentally divulges it out of the way. Just coax Shen Shuyan to close his eyes, turn around and see that her husband looks wrong. Seeing that he doesn't avoid his own meaning, he looks up At this point, she was also surprised. She raised her sleeve to cover her mouth in time, so as not to scream out.

Until Shen Zang Feng told people to take up the red horse ”ChiYan” from Yena and turn the horse back to another yard, Wei Changying hugged Shen Shuyan tightly. It was a bit like a dream: Although he knew that the world was not peaceful now, Shen Zang Feng made it clear in private that Wei Zuo had declined But as a noble girl, she was married to the right family and kept in the rich brocade cluster all her life. The omen of her country's subjugation appeared. She was not surprised.

-- the civil commotion in Yanzhou!

Before the former Emperor, because the emperor was fond of leisure, hard work and beauty, in order to accommodate tens of thousands of empress beauties at that time, he built more palaces and dug forest pools several times. Officials at all levels who were ordered to pay tribute to build palaces, forests and pools, as well as money and silk seized the opportunity to enrich their own pockets. Even though the ordinary rich were robbed several times, they fell into poverty The whole world of Wei Dynasty is gradually in disorder.

Later, when Emperor Yizong was the first emperor, there was a few years of political Qingming, which slightly reversed the situation.

That's because when Emperor Yizong succeeded, his mother, empress Gong min, was born in a poor family. She had a deep understanding of the sufferings of the common people. In the years when she took the place of her youngest son, she issued many edicts to appease the common people. However, although empress Gong min sympathizes with the people, she is extremely fond of the only son because she has only one son, Yizong.

Yizong has been following his father's example since he was twelve or thirteen years old. He is fond of amusement and tired of government. The empress Gong min persuades him a few words, and the emperor Yizong persuades him that he is in a bad mood. As soon as the empress is distressed, he will let him go. So when Yizong grew up, he devoted himself to playing and enjoying, and didn't care about the world at all.

At the beginning, empress Gong min was in charge of him. However, the Empress Dowager was not of a high birth. Although she had honed her shrewdness in the palace, how could she be compared with the literati with a deep foundation in governing means? In addition, the Empress Dowager promoted many common people at that time, and many concubines of low birth were included in the harem, which aroused the scholars' vigilance. After a secret fight, the Empress Dowager finally retired to the Imperial Palace because she didn't get the support of Yizong at the critical time, and was supervised by the aristocrats.

In order to consolidate their power, the literati changed their ways to coax Yizong to play. Can the emperor's play be the same as ordinary people? There's no one who doesn't want silver! Originally, the meeting of Emperor Taizong had used up the state treasury. It was even worse to come to Emperor Yizong. Even the border troops had to be dismissed because they could not pay. Although the gentry are rich, it is impossible for them to move their own storehouses for the holy enjoyment.

Then we have to think about taxes.

The taxes are heavy and heavy. Now we can see a bunch of bandits, big and small, in ten miles and dozens of miles in the world, including Cao family castle in Xiliang. They will be forced into a desperate situation, so they have to do business without cost.

Emperor huiyizong was playing with many beauties in the rear palace, and the literati were tacitly buying the palace people out of their knowledge. After many days, empress Gong min knew it and hurried to remind her son, but Where does emperor Yizong, who is full of pleasure, have the mind to pursue after all?

He casually called a minister to the harem and asked, ”I heard that you have increased your taxes again and again, but now the people are bored?”

That minister is also a member of the gentry. He knows that since the Empress Dowager is here, he can easily seize the power of the prison state from the Empress Dowager. He must not let empress Gong min rise again. At present, he replied without hesitation: ”this is impossible. Although ministers dare not compare with many virtuous ministers since ancient times, they have always been the role models of people, chasing their ancestors every day, willing to devote themselves to the saints and die! How can we shake the country? Who does the holy one listen to say that taxes are heavy now? ”

Yizong was not stupid enough to betray his mother, saying: ”I only heard it by chance, you don't have to care who it is. Why would anyone say that? ”

The minister said: ”if you want to come to me, please forgive me: I don't think it's strange. Since the Zhou Dynasty of Shang Dynasty cast Lu Tai and doted on Daji and died of Shang Dynasty, however, as long as the mortal Lord proposed to build a magnificent palace, forest, pool or high-rise building, or na'mei, some people would firmly oppose it, believing that this could show their virtue comparable to that of Bigan. In fact, the linchi pavilions in many courtiers and rich families are often built and replaced, but few people will say that they are jealous because the Lord is so noble! ”

Speaking of this, the minister sighed, ”it is said that most of the palaces and pavilions where the saints now live and enjoy are left by the former Emperor. However, the palace left by Emperor Xiandi when he saw Taizu and Taizong had been broken, so he built it vigorously, which attracted countless people to oppose! Even if you live here today, some people can't see it I want to tell you that the purpose of heavy taxes and poor livelihood is not just to make you enjoy less and spare more money to comfort the people? But as far as I know, the world is now in good weather year after year, with abundant harvest and abundant hoarding. The people are very easy to bear the burden of taxes. There is no way to supply the present sacrifice of the Holy One! ”Yizong is fond of enjoying and loathes the hardships. The minister said that in his heart - if according to the words of empress Gong min, would he not cut his own treatment? Yizong doesn't want to fight from the heart! After the minister left, she invited empress Gong min to come to her and politely refused her suggestion that she should face the court and observe the world in person. She said, ”all the ministers in the former dynasty are capable and loyal people. The empress and the mother have been worrying about their children for years. Now it's time to take a rest. Don't always listen to the rumors of the palace people and blame the loyal and the good.”

Such a silly son! Empress Gong min almost fainted from Qi!
