Chapter 372 Who is the genius?(1/2)
Sun Zhongfu knelt on the ground. At this moment, his whole body was extremely frightened. He kept kowtowing and pleading guilty, and his forehead was already red! "...I confessed my guilt, I confessed my guilt!"
His words trembled.
The officials around were even more shocked.
Emperor Jianye has not been so furious for many years... But this time, the color of the dragon changed so much! Many people have a feeling in their hearts. This time, I'm afraid Sun Zhongfu is really finished.
Emperor Jianye allowed Sun Zhongfu to kowtow on the ground, sneered, and said, "Oh?
Have you pleaded guilty?
Tell me, what sin did you confess?
!”
Sun Zhongfu was even more stunned. The sweat beads on the tip of his nose fell on the floor like lines, and his heart was chilling, but he could only grit his teeth and said, "I have not managed the family enough, which has led to the fact that I am sorry to the emperor and the court happened in the family. It is really a serious crime!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianye laughed angrily and said, "Speak lightly, have you regarded me as a fool?
Your Sun family did this and you picked it cleanly!”
Sun Zhongfu cried bitterly and said, "Master, I am really heartbroken. I never expected that my younger brother would do such a harmful country. I have also made a big mistake. Please punish me!"
Now, he has nothing to defend himself, he can only sell miserable things.
Emperor Jianye glanced at Sun Zhongfu sneeredly, but did not continue to care about him. Instead, he looked at the officials and said, "I believe that I was afraid that many of my dear ministers did not fall asleep last night. I understand, because I did not fall asleep either."
The emperor's words made the officials' hearts suddenly hang up.
"Everyone should know that the Sun family in Linchuan was captured by an Yangzhou inspector who had just taken office for less than three months. The evidence of the national tax detention was seized. Lin Jianshen, Zhao Nantang and others saw it with their own eyes, and there would be no falsehood."
"Now, everyone will discuss what to do."
The emperor's words fell.
All officials were hesitant and wandering for a while, not knowing how to speak.
"Sage, I requested to kill the Sun family in Linchuan, and Sun Zhongfu should be the one who is guilty!"
At this time, a civil servant spoke.
This person was Wu Jingru from the Censorate! When all the officials saw him, their eyes lit up.
Wu Jingru was the censor, and he was even the disciple of the right prime minister, and he could be called the mouthpiece of the right prime minister in the court.
His attitude is a barometer! "I and others agree that the Sun family in Linchuan despises the emperor and ignores the national laws, so they should be executed!"
"I'm going to discuss..." "I'm going to discuss!"
For a time, many officials spoke! Whether it was true love, falsehood, forced or helplessness, now there are all words in the court.
So the wall fell and everyone pushed it. Now the Sun family is clearly about to die, and no one will say a word for them! Even though they were already prepared in their hearts, Sun Zhongfu, who was kneeling on the ground, was still cold inside.
Maybe the people in the family were still in the prison of Linchuan, waiting for him to save them in the court, but in the end, he could only kneel here, listening to the emperor and the officials, and decide the fate of the people in the family... they all died! He knelt on the ground, his head lowered, and his eyes burst into a ray of hatred.
Li Fan! All of this is because of this name.
...The emperor glanced at the officials, his eyes were very cold, and he turned to the three princes listed before the officials, and said, "Huan'er, Wu'er, Jing'er, what do you think?"
Everyone's eyes also fell on the three princes.
The three princes are called the most promising to inherit the throne, so their answer is crucial.
If the answer is pleased by the emperor, then you will be one step closer to the position of the prince.
At the same time, the attitude of the three princes towards the aristocratic families can also be seen.
Whether the three princes will take into account the protection of the interests of the aristocratic families will probably affect the choices of hundreds of officials in the court... Liu Huan's heart sank. Last night, Eunuch Huang told himself that the emperor would definitely ask his three brothers' opinions.
Now, it's true.
Fortunately, he prepared the answer last night... He immediately said: "Father, my son thinks that those who have made merits should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should be punished! First of all, Li Fan first arrived in Linchuan, and in just three months, he overcame all obstacles and found such a major case. He really deserves reward! My son thinks that those who have made me a higher position should be promoted to encourage him!"
"Secondly, the Sun family entrenched one side and dared to swallow up the national taxes. This is a great rebellion! I think that the whole family should be executed according to the law to serve as a warning to others!"
"In addition, the people of Linchuan County can be exempted from taxes for one year to eliminate public grievances!"
He was neither too fast nor too slow and well-organized, and for a moment, all officials couldn't help but admire him secretly! "Your Highness is amazing. In this way, all parties have taken it into consideration."
"It's all-round, but that's the case, and the situation has not expanded. This is the most appropriate way to deal with it."
"Your Highness is really in his 95th position!"
Many officials spoke secretly.
After all, why couldn’t the officials sleep last night?
It is because what Li Fan did this time tear apart the dark side of the big families and bureaucrats in various places controlling taxes.
Emperor Jianye has always had the courage to reform. If he focuses on this aspect, the world will probably be shocked.
The eldest prince’s approach can not only give an explanation to all parties, but also control the situation. It can be said that there is no other risk except sacrificing the Sun family.
All officials naturally like it the most.
Feeling the gazes of the officials around him, Liu Huan felt a little proud. How could he be weak after gathering the answers that Eunuch Huang and other advisers in the mansion last night?
The emperor did not comment and then looked at the Seventh Prince Liu Wu.
Liu Wu looked at the emperor and said frankly: "Embing national taxes is a despise of the court. If you do not punish severely, how can you intimidate the world? My sons think that the Sun family should not only punish the whole family, but also the ten clans!"
Sun Zhongfu, who was kneeling on the ground, almost fainted when he heard this.
If he really wanted to kill the ten clans, Sun Zhongfu couldn't escape... "The Seventh Prince has the spirit of a martial artist when doing things."
"Yes, I always think about killing and killing..." "But it's straightforward."
All officials mixed praise and criticism.
"Where are you, Liu Jing?"
The emperor looked at the ninth prince Liu Jing.
Liu Jing seemed a little nervous and said, "Father, Erchen thinks that the eldest brother and the seventh brother have already said it well. Erchen... I haven't thought of anything better for the time being."
Seeing this, all the officials shook their heads.
Liu Jing's appearance is not like a monarch.
For a moment, the opinions of the officials and the three princes were all finished.
All the officials looked at the emperor, and now most of them have relaxed their hearts.
At least, the opinions in the court are now unified and no one is willing to expand the situation.
At this moment, a deep look of disappointment appeared in Emperor Jianye's eyes! "Oh."
He sighed.
This sigh was very obvious.
The hearts of all officials were immediately raised again.
When all the officials were silent, the right prime minister Li Wen finally took a step forward and said, "Sir, I think the problems exposed this time are much more than this."
When all the officials heard this, they were stunned.
The emperor also looked at Li Wen and said, "Oh?
Let’s hear it.”
Li Wen said: "First, the Sun family could conceal this matter for three years. If Li Fan had not arrived in Linchuan, it would have delayed it for a longer time.
And is there such a thing in other counties?
I dare not think about it.”
"Secondly, taxes are extremely heavy in recent years, and the people will have complaints. If they are corrupted by the local government, the people's resentment may increase tenfold. In this case, I dare not imagine it!"
"So, I think that these two problems must be solved this time, but I am stupid and unaware of how to do it, but I think that those who do not have the power of the world cannot be cured."
He is very direct.
All the officials' expressions changed drastically, and they looked at Li Wen incredibly.
The problem Li Wen mentioned can be said to be that they have always tried their best to avoid! We must never, and we must never reveal the tax matter... This matter is related to the interests of the entire bureaucratic group! Therefore, they all strongly advocated that the Sun family would be destroyed and that the world could explain it.
But now... Li Wen... for a moment, everyone's faces were very ugly and uneasy! Among the officials, Wen Baishan was shocked at this moment.
He looked at Li Wen's back and felt an insurmountable feeling again.
If others cannot see through it, it does not mean that he is generally stupid.
This time, the Emperor of the Emperor could not have seen the problems exposed by Linchuan. Moreover, the Emperor of the Emperor released the news last night that before he went to court today, he sent a "Yichun cloth" to all officials, and his intention was very obvious... However, the performance of the officials was trying hard to cover it up. It can be said that there is no silver here! The more he covers it, the more guilty he looks! And if Li Wen also followed the crowd, I am afraid that this time he will really make a big mistake.
However, Li Wen did not.
He spoke this problem in front of all the officials! In this way, at least in the eyes of the emperor, he was not a person who was indifferent to the interests of the country and the court.
At the same time, he was also frank that he was not strong enough and could not find a suitable countermeasure.
But Wen Baishan knew that with the ability of the right prime minister Li Wen, he would not know what to do. If he wanted to do it, he would definitely be able to do it.
But doing this will offend many people.
To be continued...
