Please, let me be a fool

It's even more bloody, except for going to the cabinet to work every day, he stays in the study almost every day, even eating in there.

Although a bachelor, in a high position, does deal with a lot of things.

But as a wife, she cared more about her husband's health, what if she was exhausted?

"This memorial is different from the past. It is related to national policy, so it is natural to be cautious." Song Gongwen said, but still stared at the content on the paper to see if there were any omissions or areas that needed to be improved.

As I said before, the memorial in front of me is very important, even related to the national destiny of the entire Wei Dynasty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time and energy on it.

"It's about national policy, so serious?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song immediately walked over and asked curiously, "Can I have a look?"

Song Gongwen nodded, did not refuse, and stepped aside, just in time to take a rest.

At this time, Mrs. Song also saw the name of the memorial. There are not many words, only four: "Ban Ding Ru Mu!"

"Everything goes to the mother?" She frowned, but she didn't say anything, she just read it carefully.

Song Gongwen was not surprised by this.

My wife was also a lady of the family, and she has read books, so of course she can understand what is written in it, and maybe she can give some advice.

After a long time, after Mrs. Song had read all the memorabilia, the expression on her face had changed from curiosity to solemnity. She hesitated for a moment, but she still asked, "Master, do you want to reform the tax system?"

The reason why she did this was because she knew exactly what the meaning of this memorial was.

To reform the tax system, if it is simpler, it is a reform!

What is reform?

It refers to making major changes to the dynastic legal system.

If done well, it will definitely have a very far-reaching impact, and even make a weak country strong.

This is why, Song Gongwen would say that his memorial is related to national policy.

Mrs. Song read it back and forth, of course she knew.

If it continues to be carried out, it will definitely be a great thing for the people of the world.

However, she is very worried, because the reform is difficult, and she will encounter unimaginable difficulties and resistance on the way.

And the most important point is that those who have always advocated reform, no matter whether they succeed or not, almost never end well.

Just because she knew the danger, Mrs. Song became even more worried, and she couldn't help saying: "Master, you just took office, and you suddenly come to such a memorial, isn't that...not good?"

In fact, she wanted to speak harshly, but considering her husband's mood, she was more tactful and her tone was very gentle.

However, the meaning of that sentence is already very obvious, that is, I hope the other party can temporarily dispel this idea.

"Not good?" Song Gongwen shook his head when he heard the words. He naturally knew what his wife meant.

But I would not accept it in my heart, thinking to myself, the more fierce is yet to come!

Of course, Song Gongwen understood that such matters should not be rushed.

It is best to draw it slowly.

Immediately, he looked at his wife and said, "It's not that you don't know that the court looks like it is full of flowers and a prosperous age, but in reality? Many problems have already appeared, such as the wind of land annexation, almost every government It’s happening all over the place, which can still be found, and what else can’t be found?”

"If this goes on for a long time, it will become more and more difficult for the imperial court to collect taxes, and the money in the treasury will decrease year by year. There is only one way to solve this situation, and that is to implement the tax payment to the field. go."

"Let those with more land pay more, those with less land pay less, and those without land not pay. This will not only effectively curb the trend of land mergers, but also reduce the burden on the common people. Why not do it?"

"Master, I naturally understand what you said, but even if the booklet is handed over, will those courtiers agree and support it?"

Mrs. Song continued: "And even if you agree, the master may encounter many dangers and the pressure will be even greater..."

She really understands the great benefits of sharing the income of the family, and it will bring a lot of benefits to the common people.

But it is very difficult to be successful.

Maybe some people will scold and interfere.

To know.

Back then, my master was suppressed just because he was young and energetic.

Also, during the more than ten years in Dali Temple, the public opinion of colleagues and the common people also did not understand.

What's more, now we have to start reforming it?The difference between the two cannot be compared.

What Mrs. Song thinks is that her husband and children can live a stable life, and she doesn't want to worry about it every day.

However, Song Gongwen shook his head at this time, and said: "A man will do something and not do something in his life. Could it be that because certain things are very difficult to do and there are many obstacles, then don't do it, just do it." Have you given up?"

"Ma'am, your husband and I have wasted decades of time, and I don't want to waste any more time. Reform is imperative!"

Chapter 43 Dedicated to death

At this moment.

Song Gongwen's tone was serious.

In the eyes, there is an indomitable momentum.

Moreover, he had planned the reform many years ago.

But in the past, there was no opportunity and no qualifications, but now it is different, I have come to this position, and I have to do what I should do.

On the opposite side, Mrs. Song was suddenly in a trance when she saw her husband's serious appearance.She seemed to have seen the vigorous young man who seemed to be in control of the world many years ago.

Yes, back then, I disregarded my parents' opposition and resolutely married, wasn't it because I was moved by my husband's temperament?

Now, the husband once again picked up the blood of the year, so he still wants to pour cold water on it, don't he support it?

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Song walked forward and said gently, "Master, have you really decided?"

Song Gongwen nodded solemnly, and said with a smile: "When the teacher first served as the chief assistant of the cabinet and implemented the new law, he encountered many difficulties and resistance, and was regarded as an anomaly by all the courtiers, but even so, the teacher still did not flinch, and It’s the choice to go straight ahead.”

"Now, since I'm his student, I naturally have to take my teacher as my benchmark, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I have to be fearless!"

"Only in this way can we live up to the prestige of the teacher back then. What's more, the teacher also supports this reform."

Thinking of the teacher who was alone in the court, facing countless accusations.

But he still insisted on implementing the new law, so he was very yearning.

Now it's my turn, how can I back down?

"Does Master Taifu also support you?" Mrs. Song was taken aback, and then said: "But didn't the master say that Master Taifu will only help you in the dark, not support you in the open?"

Between Zhang Zhengming and Song Gongwen, outsiders thought that one party was flattering, and the other party was reprimanded and humiliated.

However, Mrs. Song, as the person next to her pillow, naturally knew the real reason.

I understand that my husband and the Tai Tuo reached an agreement on that snowy night.

But doesn't this kind of agreement mean that it is only helping in secret?

So she was very curious.

What kind of support is the husband talking about?

"Madam doesn't know something, but the teacher is also very clear about where the crux of the court is now, and the memorial to the mother-in-law was confirmed by the teacher for me, saying that I can bring it up at the imperial meeting and let him oppose it. " Song Gongwen smiled and continued.

"But as long as His Majesty agrees to this memorial, he will give me all the help in the dark, and remove all kinds of obstacles for me, so that it can be carried out."

Hearing this, Mrs. Song's eyes lit up, knowing that it would be completely different if Master Tai Tuo supported this matter.

The opponent has great prestige and influence in the imperial court, once he makes a move, the reform will go much smoother.

But soon, she frowned and couldn't help but wonder.

"But in this case, can His Majesty agree?"

Mrs. Song knew it in her heart.

Tai Tuo blatantly objected in order to pave the way for His Majesty and her husband.

But the problem is that the other party's prestige is too high, and other courtiers will definitely follow suit.

Under such circumstances, His Majesty may not choose to agree because he may consider the impact. In the best case, it is possible to postpone the discussion.

So, isn't all this wasted effort?

"Madam, you underestimate Your Majesty." Song Gongwen laughed when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is a sage king, and his vision is farther than anyone else's. Naturally, His Majesty can also discover the benefits of spreading a small household into an acre, so Will definitely agree."

"I know what Madam is worried about. She is afraid that His Majesty will not agree because the teacher and the courtiers objected together."

"But think about it, from the time when King Yan was released and I was appointed as the second assistant to the cabinet, has His Majesty not resisted all opinions and acted arbitrarily? Don't worry, as long as it is beneficial to the court and the country, His Majesty will definitely Will support it!"

Having said that, he couldn't help showing reverence on his face, knowing that his majesty is going to be the one emperor through the ages.

How could such an emperor be shaken because his courtiers disagreed?

So Song Gongwen can be sure.

His Majesty will definitely agree to the matter of sharing the property into the mu, and will strongly support it!

Next to her, Mrs. Song nodded half-understanding, feeling that what her husband said seemed to make sense.

But soon, she came to her senses, and immediately said worriedly: "Then, isn't the Tai Tuo going to confront His Majesty head-on? Moreover, if the implementation of the plan is successful and the court tax increases greatly, then the Tai Tuo will not ..."

"I know what madam is thinking. Once this is successful, the reputation that the teacher has accumulated over the years will be wiped out overnight, and he will also start to be excluded."

"Besides, because you oppose His Majesty in everything, maybe one day, His Majesty will get annoyed and will continue to alienate the teacher."

Speaking of this, Song Gongwen sighed, and continued: "This is the teacher's choice. He will do everything he can to establish his prestige for His Majesty and pave the way for me. Ma'am, if the teacher is so kind, if I fail at this time What face will he have to stand between heaven and earth in the future?"

At this moment, Mrs. Song already understood that her husband had already made a decision, and no matter how much he persuaded him, he would not turn back.

Without hesitation, she walked forward, held the other person's hand, and said softly: "Master, don't worry, as long as you make a decision, no matter how difficult the road ahead, our family will always support you, just like these years."

Song Gongwen nodded, a little relieved, but also a little emotional, he still has the support of his wife and children.

But what about the teacher?I have always been alone, but I have come to this day.

Therefore, we must not fail to live up to the teacher's expectations and support in the future.

You can't bear His Majesty's kindness either.

He must assist His Majesty to build the Great Wei into the most prosperous dynasty in the ages.

Just like the motto written when I was young, until I die, I die!

Even if you can't do it in this life, don't the Song family still have descendants?

Don't you have a son?

Um?son?

Suddenly, Song Gongwen's heart moved.

For a while, I didn't seem to see my son.

At that moment, he turned his head and said, "Ma'am, what is Hongzhi up to now? Why haven't I seen him for so many days?"

"Hongzhi?" Mrs. Song hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, and then said: "I heard from the servants at home that he wakes up early every morning and starts practicing martial arts. It's all cleared up, and I said I'm going to read some military books, I want to learn the art of war, and I want to be a general who can command thousands of troops..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Song couldn't help but sigh, this son is far behind his daughter.

I think about it every day, and now I don’t even read the book directly.

What book of war to read, what art of war to learn.

What should I do after this?

"Nizi, this naughty son!" Song Gongwen's expression changed immediately when he heard that his son was going to exchange the book of sages for the book of war.

He skillfully picked up a ruler, didn't even care about the memorial, and rushed directly to his son's room, saying as he walked, "If I don't kill this rebellious son today, I will be speechless to face the ancestors of the Song family." !"

Mrs. Song was startled, she chased after her and said anxiously: "Master, don't hit him in the face, he will go to the palace to see his daughter in a few days..."

As he said that, he didn't know when, a rattan suddenly appeared in his hand.
