Chapter 170 (Iron Triangle of monarch and minister...)

ame one after another. Chen Tingjian frowned, put down the book in his hand, and said to Sun, who was sitting on the couch doing needlework, "although the children are out of mourning, it is not appro...Chen Fu is closer to the Imperial City. Chen Tingjian arrived by carriage.

although he Fu is a little farther away, he Qingxian came on a mule. The tall, sturdy black mule was only carrying a lean old man, which must be faster than pulling a rickshaw.

so when Chen Tingjian got out of the car, he looked up at he Qingxian, who was riding a mule in front of his car.

the big black mule gave a snout, and Chen Tingjian's eyebrow peak jumped.

he Qingxian turned down from the mule, handed the reins to the palace, arranged his clothes, and looked at Chen Tingjian: "after you"

Chen Tingjian didn't have to be modest with him. He closed his hand and had a long beard. He raised his foot and walked forward.

Today's breeze was so light that his long beard fluttered slightly. He Qingxian glanced at it and accosted him, "I've always wanted to ask you why you have such a beard and how troublesome it is to take care of it."

Chen Tingjian walks visually in front of him.

he Qingxian: "I see that your official career must be peaceful, and you are young and have no roots. Keeping a beautiful beard can not only add dignity, but also show that you are knowledgeable and worthy of being a prince."

Chen Tingjian: "if you have a mind to think about this, you might as well think about how to cooperate with me in implementing the new policy."

he Qingxian: "I was dominated by you last time, but it's time to change it this time."

Chen Tingjian: "it's not up to you to decide whether to change it or not."

he Qingxian: "you are just timid!"

Chen Tingjian silently walked a few steps aside. The palace was so wide that he didn't have to stand side by side with he Qingxian.

he Qingxian wants to chase after him.

the guards standing on both sides and the attendants passing by saw the two old cabinet men chasing each other in front of each other, and occasionally Old he GE tried to pull at Chen GE's sleeves and was impolitely thrown away by Chen GE.

outside Palace of Heavenly Purity, Emperor Yuanyou stood in front of the white marble railing and watched the two pavilions walk through the palace gate, still pulling when they passed the door.

Yuanyou Emperor smiled.

since he Qingxian entered the palace, Chen Tingjian has become more and more like an ordinary minister, no longer as lofty as he used to be, as if he had no shortcomings.

"it's chilly outside. Why did the emperor come out without wearing a cloak"

when he came near, Chen Tingjian was first concerned.

Emperor Yuanyou: "the earth dragon is too stuffy. I came out to take a breath and took the liberty of inviting each other. Did not delay the rest between Mr. he and Mr. he GE"

he Qingxian said with a smile, "the minister is alone in Beijing, and his rest is to think about the new policy. I can't wait to come to the palace to accompany me."

Chen Tingjian: "there is nothing wrong with the minister, but there seems to be a lonely meaning in the old saying of he GE. The emperor may reward one or two beauties to take care of them."

he Qingxian: "No, my minister can't afford to use it. If the emperor wants to reward Chen GE, he can reward Chen GE. Anyway, the minister can't give birth to a son. Beauty can give Chen GE an old man, and he can also add a few top stars to explore flowers for the court."

Emperor Yuanyou: "all right, follow me in. Let's talk about something serious."

the young emperor walked in front, and the two pavilions secretly threw several eye knives at each other.

Tea and fruit have already been prepared in the imperial study, and Emperor Yuanyou sat on the warm couch with two spacious chairs covered with brocade cushions in front of the bed.

Chen Tingjian thanked him first and then sat down. Touching his beard, he said, "I don't know why the emperor summoned his courtiers to enter the palace."

Emperor Yuanyou: "naturally, it is for the tax reform next year, and my mother agrees with my husband's whip law. I also think this law is very safe, but the enlightening remarks made by he GE Lao are not alarmist words, so I would like to ask you, sir, if I choose the old tax reform policy adopted by the imperial court, it will be really impossible for the imperial court to implement it."

Ho Ching-hsien's eyes lit up: "the emperor is really a great master. Whether I can succeed or not depends on the emperor alone!"

Emperor Yuanyou raised his hand and motioned to he Qingxian to shut up. He knows very well that although he Qingxian's method is good, whether it can be carried out depends on Chen Tingjian's.

Chen Tingjian frowned, drooped his eyes for a moment of contemplation, looked at he Qingxian, and then looked at Emperor Yuanyou and said, "it is really difficult. It is ancestral system for the emperor to waive the land tax."

he Qingxian: "the ancestral system did not allow them to do harm to the people. Did they listen" The emperor can rest assured that where the ancestors rewarded the land of the royal relatives, the court continued to waive the land tax, but with the exception of this part, they should pay tax, which is not against the ancestral system. after all, the ancestors did not expect that they dared to encroach on the land of the common people. "

Emperor Yuanyou nodded, and the kings were best at carrying out the ancestral system of Tai. if he Qingxian was there, he Qingxian could use the ancestral system to gag the kings.

"if you really use this strategy, you will invite 21 vassal kings to Beijing next year to be reasonable and emotional to them."

Chen Tingjian paused and said, "even if the kings are willing to cooperate, there are still officials and gentlemen all over the world who have enjoyed tax exemption for a thousand years, and the imperial court suddenly asked them to pay taxes, fearing that the local scholars would incite the hearts and minds of the people and revolt."

he Qingxian: "they are reluctant to give up money, but they must cherish their lives even more. They first cut and copy the outstanding ones, set an example to make sure that everyone else is honest!"

Chen Tingjian looked at Emperor Yuanyou: "as soon as the literati opened their mouths, they dared not revolt by force, but they would use words to scold the imperial court, and they would keep scolding the emperor from generation to generation, and local officials would deliberately submit such playbooks to Beijing. Is the emperor really not afraid of smelling the people"

Emperor Yuanyou sneered and said, "what am I afraid of" What I want is the peace of the country and the inheritance of my ancestors that can last for a hundred years. "

the little emperor's tone was so crazy that he Qingxian slightly poured a bucket of cold water: "not to mention a thousand years, as long as this dynasty can achieve ZTE here in the emperor, and continue for another 200 years, the emperor's achievements will be side by side with Taizu and Chengzu."

Emperor Yuanyou does not disrelish the cool water in this bucket. He can really achieve the level of the two ancestors. He is also good enough!

Chen Tingjian: "does the emperor really want to use the old new policy of GE"

Emperor Yuanyou suddenly became nervous. The old man had always said the same thing. If he nodded at this time, would the old man threaten him with his resignation

if Chen Tingjian really resigned, he Qingxian, a clean and honest official who had nothing to do with his warm blood but no tactics to restrict officials from all over the world, could not carry out any new policy at all.

he pondered, "if my husband really doesn't feel right, that's it."

Chen Tingjian said with a smile: "the minister has never felt anything wrong. He just thinks that this road is very difficult. He is not afraid of difficulties, but he is afraid that the emperor will be criticized by thousands of people, and that the emperor will not be able to bear the pressure of public opinion inside and outside the court. The minister will try his best to share the worries for the emperor, but the minister is old, and the reform is not done in a day, and a whip law needs to be consolidated for more than a decade. It even takes the persistence of two or three generations of emperors to thoroughly consolidate the foundation of the officials and gentry. Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will not be able to assist you for too long, and I am even more afraid that after I leave, the emperor will bear the counterattack of the officials and gentry all over the world alone. It will be too hard. "

he smiled magnanimously and looked at Emperor Yuanyou's eyes, which was not only a minister-to-monarch, but also a teacher-to-apprentice, mixed with a kind of kindness similar to kinship.

there is one point Chen Tingjian did not say.

the little emperor, whom he taught himself, had not suffered any hardships. When he was gone, he was satisfied that the emperor could adhere to a whip. In the way of he Qingxian, he had no confidence in the emperor.

he Qingxian is so scholarly that he can really pursue his conduct all his life, but how can he expect a young emperor to walk along a thorny road without hesitation in a few words

they are here, they will push the emperor to walk, when they sleep on the ground, the people around the emperor will only scramble to pull the emperor back.ew that she was tired, but it was not easy for him. Both husband and wife worked hard this time, and then they had three months to have a good rest and refresh themselves.Huayang was so sleepy that he...
