My wife is number one in the world

"Your Majesty, if it is true, as His Majesty said, the officials of the exchange market used the name of the court to increase prices privately to fill their own pockets. I suggest that the three courts be formed to investigate this case. Tens of millions of taels of silver will not only damage Dalong's tax revenue but also the people. interests!"

"What Xia Aiqing said is reasonable. Once the price rises, the merchants will increase the price, and small merchants will be squeezed out of the border mutual market. Once the price is raised, the prices of the goods shipped back to Dalong by the merchants will also increase. The common people sell them at five taels It costs ten taels of silver to buy things with silver goods, so let the people cut their meat to make up for the remaining five taels of silver?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Holy? I'm not holy at all. The officials of the border guards are only four-rank officials. They played tricks and tricked me and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. There are not a few people with official money, how dare they do whatever they want without your support!"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, many officials looked a little resentful, obviously the emperor's words hit the sore spot!

The emperor walked down the steps slowly and looked at the civil and military officials with different expressions: "Since I ascended the throne, I have always emphasized the importance of benevolent government, and followed the emperor Taizu's legacy to put the people first, but you are all ministers in the second class. , that is not the Lord Hou Ye who was killed in the sea of ​​blood, that is not the general who will become famous immediately! There are also a few ministers who are not two-ranked Jinshi, ask your conscience, since I became the throne, I have never used heavy law!"

"But what about you? Do you think that I am too merciful, and you can be lawless? It's not that I dare not use heavy laws, but I don't want to use heavy laws. , from the first-rank official to the ninth-rank official, how many of you are clean, according to the law of the dragon, even if you are killed by the barbarian clan, it is not a pity!"

"Your Majesty, I will be convicted!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the civil and military officials who were prostrate on the ground and kowtowed, and hurriedly lowered their heads, asking if my young master has done anything wrong, okay?

"It has been 27 years. After the death of the first emperor, it has been 27 years since I inherited the great treasure. During the 27 years, I have successively abolished the six cruel punishments of car cracking, Ling Chi, and artillery.... After the incident, I also abolished it, and besides beheading for public display, the most serious punishment seems to be ransacking the house and exile!"

"I originally thought that you could follow my benevolent government with your hearts and minds, apply benevolent government to the people under your rule, be diligent in government and love the people, even if you have no merit, you will not lose your virtue, but you, you have repeatedly provoked my face and the royal family. Dignity, provoking the laws of the Great Dragon, a small fourth-rank official dares to embezzle tens of millions of taels of silver, are these officials of the first rank planning to change the dynasty, you are too guilty!"

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger, I know my mistake!"

Li Zheng leaned on the guardrail above the dragon steps trembling and coughed a few times.

"Purpose!"

Manager Zhou stepped forward cautiously: "Yes!"

"From now on, the car cracking, Ling Chi, artillery fire, implication, beheading, quartering, embezzlement of two thousand dollars of silver car cracking, embezzlement of five thousand Ling Chi......... those who dereliction of duty will be quartered!"

"Your Majesty can't!"

"I originally thought that if one person commits a crime, his family should not be held accountable, but in troubled times, severe punishments should be used. You talk about my sages every day, but I know that Dalong will really become a troubled world if this continues. The 600-year foundation left by Emperor Taizu It is also said that it will be destroyed once, and the barbarians will be restored to the punishment of three punishments and nine punishments, and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment will issue the law to all the state capitals of Dalong!"

The civil and military officials looked at each other silently, and even looked at each other in horror, knowing that the emperor was really angry this time, and no one dared to speak out to persuade him!

"Your Majesty, please take back the punishment of barbarians three times and nine times!"

Xia Gongming came out to look at the emperor with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, although Yi San Zhu Jiu can warn civil and military officials, it is too cruel for one person to commit a crime and implicate the whole family. Ignorant children are young and do nothing, and being punished because of their father is not in line with the late emperor's will!"

"Xia Aiqing, I respect you as the elder of the two dynasties, and I have been patient with you because I respect your character. You are upright and strict with yourself, but can you guarantee that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are as upright as you?"

"This, the old minister is incompetent! But the old minister never wants His Majesty to repeat the law of barbarian three punish nine!"

Liu Mingzhi glanced at Xia Gongming who was kneeling on the ground and slowly came out: "Your Majesty, I think that Your Majesty and Master Xia should each take a step back, and the barbarians should add treason and usurpation to the throne!"

Chapter 645 New and Old Pillars (For General Jiu)

When the emperor saw Liu Mingzhi coming out, he wanted to reprimand him, but he didn't know what he thought of: "Liu Aiqing also wants to stop me from restoring torture?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I didn't mean to hinder His Majesty, but I just..."

Liu Mingzhi glanced at the words spoken by all civil and military officials, but couldn't say anything!

Seeing this, Li Zheng pondered for a while: "I am planning to form an imperial guard to investigate the case of privately raising prices in the border trading market in disregard of the Three Kingdoms Agreement. The restoration of torture will be discussed later!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The emperor took a deep look at Liu Mingzhi: "Retire!"

"Long live congratulations!"

After the emperor left, all the civil and military officials walked out of the Golden Luan Hall discussing, without exception, all the things they talked about were about the emperor's restoration and torture!

"Uncle Tong Yuan, thank you for going out with me today to prevent His Majesty from restoring torture!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Xia Gongming, who had always been a loner, with a respectful expression: "Boss, you are His Majesty's minister, and you are the only one who dares to speak out in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!"

Xia Gongming's old face showed a trace of melancholy: "I don't want to violate His Majesty's holy will every day, but as a doctor of history, what I eat is the bowl of rice that I heard and said, so I can only do my best and obey the destiny." !"

"Your Majesty, you have a high moral integrity. I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"Uncle Tong Yuan, it's okay to say, I'm all ears!"

"Admonishment is fine. I hope that the boss can change the method. I think that as long as the method is appropriate and the majesty will not be unable to step down, the majesty will still listen to the advice. After all, the majesty is a rare wise king who can read Yaya's words. Just like Boss Cai just stated the pros and cons, His Majesty will not be furious!"

Xia Gongming sighed: "I understand that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Maybe I should change the method. After returning home, I will give a memorial to His Majesty!"

"It's good that the boss can figure it out!"

"Uncle Tongyuan, I am satisfied if you can tell me these things. I am upright, but I am not a fool. I can tell the difference between good and bad. You, the pillar of the dragon, have to persuade Your Majesty. Your Majesty is very angry now. I value your opinion!"

"My lord, you are just joking. Officials who are under the position of a round official are also low-level officials of the fifth rank. How can they be said to be the pillars!"

Xia Gongming looked around and leaned over to Liu Mingzhi and whispered: "The old pillars have gone to the Imperial College to grow vegetables, and it's time to change the pillars. You must seize the opportunity!"

Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at Xia Gongming's back and didn't understand what he meant for a while!

Did the old Zhuzi go to the Imperial College to grow vegetables?

"Senior brother, you are too powerful. Except for Xia Yushi, all civil and military officials are holding back and dare not move. His Majesty, who was furious after hearing your words, suppressed his anger. You, the big red man in front of your Majesty, are really not fake!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Mingzhi in a daze and Huyan Yunyao excitedly, with indescribable admiration on his expression!

"In the palace, you have to be called titles or official positions, Hu Hanlin, do you understand?"

"Yes, I know I was wrong!"

"Let me ask you, just now what did Xia Yushi mean when he said that the old Zhuzi went to the Imperial College to grow vegetables? What happened to me when I didn't go to court for more than a month?"

Huyan Yunyao looked around at the hurried officials and whispered, "Didn't you realize that the left and right ministers are gone?"

Liu Mingzhi looked around and still didn't find any traces of the left and right ministers: "Why did they go to the Imperial College to grow vegetables? How decent is it for a dignified prime minister to go to the Imperial College to grow vegetables!"

"I heard that His Majesty asked the right counterpart to reflect on himself for a month. As for why the left minister also went to the lower office, I don't know. I heard that the left minister went there voluntarily. I don't know if it is true or not!"

"In this way, is there hope for taking down Prime Minister Zuo and avenging Second Uncle?"

Liu Mingzhi muttered a few words with a low expression!

"Master Liu, what did you say?"

"Nothing, just keep talking!"

"I heard some old people from the Imperial Academy privately discuss that Prime Minister Zuo's going to the Imperial Academy to grow vegetables has something to do with an old case. I don't know what the specific case is!"
