Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 325 Pierce the hornet's nest and offend all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty

Wei Zheng didn't dare to be the first bird today, so the first bird can only be Yuchi Huan!

Civil and military officials are also waiting for Yuchihuan to speak!

So Yu Chihuan was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

Li Erlong Yan Dayue said: "Xiao Yuchi, what do you want to tell me?"

Yu Chihuan took out a memorial from his bosom, and said: "Your Majesty, I impeach Datang Xungui for hiding tax-evading farmers and help them evade taxes. This is the crime of Datang Xungui!"

"Uh...Little Yuchi, are you sure you want to impeach Tang Xungui for shielding farmers from taxation?"

Li Er felt a big headache, because he had known about this problem for a long time!

Moreover, the big tax-avoiding households in the Tang Dynasty are mainly the clan members of the Li family in Longxi!
Wei Zheng laughed heartily and said, "Your Majesty, my minister seconded what Yu Chihuan said!"

However, apart from Wei Zheng, none of the civil and military officials supported Yuchihuan!
Including Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Li Jing, who are also martial artists like Yu Chihuan, were also silent!

Because Yuchihuan's impeachment can be said to have offended everyone, including Cheng Yaojin and other Dukes of the Tang Dynasty.

Sun Shunde glared at Yuchi Huan, and said, "Little Prime Minister Yuchi, you are serving as Zhongshu Ling at such a young age, and you should keep a low profile. How can you offend everyone today?"

In fact, the eldest grandson's family also helped farmers avoid taxes!
This time the company commander Sun Shunde did not speak for Yuchihuan.

Yuchi Huan ignored the dissuasion of his eldest son, Shunde, and spoke righteously, saying: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Yongye Field, which is hereditary and hereditary, should not be exempted from taxes, otherwise it will increase the burden on the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Er was dumbfounded, and said: "Xiao Yuchi, you also have 2500 acres of tax-free Yongye land, are you sure you want to impeach yourself?"

Changsun Wuji nodded in approval and said: "Little Chancellor Yuchi, your father Yuchi Jingde also has 4000 acres of hereditary Yongye farmland. Didn't you even impeach my father Yuchi Jingde?"

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Li Jing looked at each other with expressions like hell!
If Yuchi Huan was just impeaching those nobles for helping farmers avoid taxes, then Yuchi's family would be fine!

Because Yu Chigong didn't help people avoid taxes at all!
But Yuchihuan even impeached the privilege of exempting taxes from Yongyetian, the noble fiefdom of the Tang Dynasty, which is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall!

Cheng Yaojin felt that Yu Chihuan was crazy today!

Yu Chihuan nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that the noble and hereditary Yongyetian should also pay taxes, otherwise the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer!"

Li Er said solemnly: "Xiao Yuchi, I am very pleased that you can think about the taxation of the Tang court, but the closure of land and tax exemption is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be changed. Let's discuss the issue of tax avoidance by farmers today!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yuchi Huan did not disobey Li Er's will and immediately returned to his original position.

Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Li Jing and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Yuchihuan just impeached Xungui for sheltering farmers from tax avoidance, then the matter would be easy to solve.

As for the tax exemption of the hereditary Yongyetian, this is the privilege of the princes of the Tang Dynasty!
This privilege was earned by them following Li Er's life and death!

Cheng Yaojin and the others are of course unwilling to give up.

Wei Zheng was the first to come out and said: "Your Majesty, there are at least millions of farmers in the Tang Dynasty relying on nobles and temples to avoid taxes. The minister recommends that the court thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Fang Xuanling echoed: "If the ten temples of the Tang Dynasty and the cultivated land illegally collected by the nobles are taxed again, the Tang court can increase the tax by hundreds of thousands of guan every year!"

Then the Yushi Yanguan of Yushitai also came out to echo Wei Zheng's advice.

Within half an hour, at least dozens of civil and military officials stood up to support Wei Zheng's remonstrance.

The only people who are qualified to shelter farmers from taxation are those who have titles in the Tang Dynasty.

Ordinary officials' Yongye land is not eligible for tax exemption.

Chu Suiliang, including Cong Sanpin, did not have the privilege of exempting farming from taxes.

Now the headaches are Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan, Chai Shao, the top dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty.

But this matter has nothing to do with Yuchi's family.

The Yuchi family did not shelter the peasants from taxation in the Tang Dynasty!

Yuchihuan, as the instigator, has already retreated behind the scenes to watch the excitement.

Li Er struck while the iron was hot and said: "My dear friends, if you have helped farmers evade taxes, please confess and be lenient. I can let it go, otherwise I will punish you severely!"

Cheng Yaojin was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is guilty!"

Li Er said with a smile on his face: "Cheng Zhijie, you only need to re-naturalize the farmers protected by the Cheng family at the Ministry of Households, and I will not blame the past!"

"General, thank you for your kindness!"

Cheng Yaojin secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then returned to his original position with a smile on his face.

Then Changsun Wuji, Chai Shao, Duan Zhixuan, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and other princes and relatives all stood up and pleaded guilty and were punished.

Li Eryi treated them equally and ordered these top dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty to release the peasant households sheltered in their homes, allowing them to re-naturalize and become ordinary peasant households who paid taxes in the Tang Dynasty.

Today, the Tang Xungui who went to the early dynasty, the Duke of Yipin, and the male Xungui of Jiupin County all pleaded guilty!

Li Er treated these Tang Xungui who were frank and lenient, and did not hold them accountable.

"I pass on my decree that from today onwards, monks in all temples are not allowed to accept disciples without permission!"

Li Er went on to say: "All the monks who have not been granted by the imperial court have returned to secular life and become naturalized, hereby!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Zhenghui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, led the order with one voice.

The court's temple certificates are issued by the Ministry of Rites and Ancestral Hall!

So Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also needs to contribute this time!

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was mainly responsible for collecting the underpaid taxes from temples.

As Li Er's imperial edict left the Xuanzheng Hall, a decree specifically abolishing the hidden rules of temples and honors was conveyed to the entire Tang Dynasty!
Starting today, those peasant households who want to evade taxes from the court can only pay taxes obediently.

After Li Er dealt with the tax evasion problem of nobles protecting farmers, he continued to discuss the people's livelihood issues of the ten ways of the Tang Dynasty.

Half an hour later, Li Er announced his resignation!
"My beloved sirs, if you have nothing to do, please proceed. If there is nothing to do, please withdraw from the court!"

According to the usual practice, Li Er asked all civil and military officials.

None of the civil and military officials stood up and played a role.

The prince immediately shouted: "Today's court discussion ends here. Retreat from the court!"

Li Er then got up and left the Xuanzheng Hall. Before he left, he was smiling at Wei Chihuan!
Yu Chihuan today abolished the unspoken rules of Tang Xungui protecting farmers from tax evasion, benefiting the country and the people!
Li Er is of course happy that the Tang court will collect hundreds of thousands of extra taxes every year!
But this time Yuchihuan offended the nobles of the entire Tang Dynasty!
For Yuchi Huan, this was considered an outrage!

Yu Chihuan was also aware of this, so he made a quick decision and slipped out of the Xuanzheng Hall immediately.

"Young Prime Minister Yuchi, where are you running?"

It's a pity that Cheng Yaojin blocked his way before Yu Chihuan could walk out of the threshold of Xuanzheng Hall.

Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Duan Zhixuan, Chai Shao and the others also surrounded them!

In the blink of an eye, Yuchi Huan was surrounded by dozens of nobles from the Tang Dynasty!

Wei Zheng even stood on the threshold of Xuanzheng Hall to watch the excitement.

He likes to see Yuchihuan make a fool of himself the most!

Yu Chihuan raised his head and said to Cheng Yaojin with a smile on his face: "Cheng Zhijie, do you have anything to do with me?"

Cheng Yaojin stared at his beard and said: "Little Chancellor Yuchi, you got into trouble this time, even Yuchi Jingde can't protect you, so be careful when you go out in the future!"

Qin Qiong nodded in agreement with Cheng Yaojin and said, "Little Prime Minister Yuchi, we are your uncles and uncles and it won't be bad for you, but it's hard for other people. Be careful when you go out in the future!"
