Can the crooked villain be saved!

Golden Palace

"I recently reviewed the records and compared many places and found that the renting and taxation problems of our dynasty are quite serious. Many places have tax evasion and low taxes. According to my knowledge, the land taxes in several places are far from the actual situation. The burden of tax increases every year for the people is too high Among them, there were several murder cases, and I implore Your Majesty to rectify the taxes." Ling Wei knelt in the middle of the main hall, and Ling Ran spoke calmly, but everyone who listened, including Emperor Yuan Qing, felt that, well, things have exploded. ...

All the ministers in the hall "..." They stayed up all night last night, and now they are a little dizzy and can't hear clearly, what did someone say? ? ?

"This is the impression I got after sorting out the files in the past few days. Your Majesty, please read them." Although he was a bit ruthless, Emperor Yuan Qing immediately kicked the shocked Eunuch Li who was still beside him. He took the paperwork presented in Ling Wei's hand, still trembling in his heart, "Oh, this Song official is the one who is not afraid of tigers piercing the sky!"

Taxation reform is a sensitive and important matter no matter what dynasty it is in.It is naturally a good thing for the emperor, because it means his small coffers.And as far as the book that Emperor Yuanqing is looking at now is simply not too favorable, it is conservatively estimated that his small treasury can increase by at least five times, and he is naturally more excited than choosing a concubine!

As for the officials and ministers, just the opposite of the Yuan and Qing emperors, they felt that the good times were coming to an end!Although they haven't seen what Ling Wei said in the memorial, who in the past has seen that the rectification is beneficial to the minister and not to the monarch.

Emperor Yuan and Qing had mixed feelings after reading this memorial, which Ling Wei humbly called impressions. How could it be called impressions? And even the countermeasures for the blocked implementation have been thought out in advance!And why is the mood complicated?Such a courtier is really sharing the worries of the king for the country and the people, but who can understand the feeling of suddenly feeling a little useless, who can understand!

"Song Aiqing, please, Eunuch Li will read this booklet to all relatives..." Let them know what a good minister is, and after raising so many people, it is not worth a baby who has just taken office for a few months, hum!

So all the ministers listened numbly to Eunuch Li reading out the new rectification regulations. Yes, it was the new rectification regulations rather than those deceitful thoughts.The ministers who usually don't have any private means naturally gave Ling Wei a thumbs up without hesitation after listening to it, while the people with a lot of means kept their faces calm and wailed in despair. This, this Didn't they force them to be honest officials? Can we still get along well? Honest officials are amazing!

In fact, Lingwei's rectification is very simple. Simply put, the private sector has become a public sector. The land previously contracted by the landlord, except for the buyout, is all taken back by the government for registration and lease. Tax, the local magistrate set up authentication and handed over according to the actual output of the field.It has completely eliminated the subletting of land, high rent and tax evasion, and it has also reduced the common people's payment to the landlord. Separate household tax payment has also increased the treasury's cash collection. This is not an ordinary rectification that benefits the people and the country.

In this way, Ling Wei looked down with praise accompanied by resentment, but he did not leave today and was summoned by Emperor Yuan and Qing to wait alone in the imperial study, so he is still standing outside the hall at this moment. "Brother, you are such a good man!" There was really no hint of sarcasm in these words, Li Huaishu saw Ling Wei immediately put a hand on his shoulder when he came out and boasted without falsehood.Li Huaishu is the second generation of officials, and he really admires someone like Ling Wei who dares to change and is not afraid to trouble his upper body.

"Just take it as a compliment for Huaishu, this is your brother and my greatest wish!" Ling Wei responded with a smile without humility, and this statement is not false at all, because this is Song Lingwei's ambition. "It's just a compliment, but Awei, you don't believe me." Ling Wei's tone was a little awkward, and Li Huaishu compared him with the other hand and was really going to beat him twice, who would make Ling Wei feel proud!

It's just that the hand hasn't dropped yet. Although the words "Song Guanzheng" haven't been heard much, but the three words that can be recognized in his mind immediately make Li Huaishu tremble. Turning his head, he didn't know when he was standing behind him. Mr. Shoufu was looking at this side, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that Mr. Shoufu's sharp eyes were a little cold on his hand on Ling Wei's shoulder.Subconsciously, Li Huaishu immediately withdrew his hand, said "I have something to talk to you two slowly" and left quickly.

"Shen Zhi, are you so scary? Look, you scared Huai Shu!" Although he said so, Ling Wei knew that he was taking this as a joke with a smile on his face.Instead, seeing Ling Wei like this, Tan Shenzhi originally wanted to criticize him for being too reckless, but now he felt, forget it, it's no big deal!Such thoughts, but regretted not slapping himself a few times when he heard the news of Ling Wei's assassination a few days later.

Speaking of assassination, how could there not be.If Emperor Yuan and Qing were stupid, he would not be able to sit in that position, so after discussing with Ling Wei at the end of the court meeting that day, before many people could react, Huo Biaofeng passed the decree and sealed it off. The official position of Ling Wei's inspector began to be rectified.Ling Wei was ordered to inspect. In the past two days, he was so busy in the household department that he had to work overtime, and he was going to go directly to the local inspection the next day.

Unexpectedly, when Ling Wei returned to the mansion day and night, those people who couldn't see the form and hated him couldn't help but sent people to assassinate him. "Lord Ling, your health is under threat now. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that you will die directly. Eggboy has automatically summoned the city guards." When Eggboy first noticed the abnormality, Eggboy had already turned on the self-protection mode. Er is reporting to Ling Wei.Ling Wei was calm and didn't show any surprise. He knew there was a problem as early as when Emperor Yuan and Qing appointed him supervisor.

However, it is one thing for Emperor Yuan and Qing to take the opportunity to exchange blood, but Ling Wei will not do such a loss-making business. He seems to be working hard recently, and suddenly he is a little nostalgic for his former leisurely life, which is simply called a home.So when the people watching the situation everywhere heard that Song Lingwei was assassinated and seriously injured, they all knew that it was a big deal!

The Emperor Yuan and Qing were really angry that someone under the Son of Heaven had majestically assassinated an official of the imperial court, and he was now entrusting him with important tasks.Although he wanted to force some people to expose themselves under the guise, but if he exchanged some treacherous people for a promising loyal minister and good general, he would naturally choose the latter without hesitation.

So how could Emperor Yuan and Qing not be angry, not to mention that such a calm and self-restraining person went directly to the palace and said, "If something happens to him, I will make Yuan Guo restless!" Such words have a chilling aura Leaving, this undoubtedly made him confirm the famous saying of the emperor who bleeds thousands of miles in a rage, "Give me an investigation, and anyone involved will be killed." One sentence is doomed to a bloody storm.

Naturally, Ling Wei didn't know about these things. Although he deliberately didn't dodge the arrow in the back, the arrow wasn't too far away from the target. It wasn't until Eggboy released the recovery mode and woke up from the painful wound that Ling Wei realized that he had been in a coma for five days. .

And what surprised him the most was that he was not in his own Song Mansion but in the mansion of Chief Assistant Tan Shenzhi which was heavily guarded by soldiers.Candles were lit in the house, and there was no light outside the window, and it was still late at night.Ling Wei stared at Tan Shenzhi who was sleeping lying on his bedside for a long time, even in a somewhat dark room, he could still see the unconcealable bruises in his eyes.

"Why am I here?" Ling Wei appeared in the spiritual world, and Eggboy immediately appeared. It knew what Ling Wei was asking about why he appeared in the Tan Mansion and said, "Master Ling, after you were assassinated and seriously injured and sent back to the Song Mansion, the housekeeper went to the Song Mansion." Before the doctor came, Tan Shenzhi rushed into the Song Mansion, and after seeing your injuries, he immediately carried you into the carriage to the Tan Mansion, and then sent someone to invite the director of the imperial medical office in the palace, you During the past few days of deep sleep, he has been guarding your bedside and never left." It was also mentioned that Tan Shenzhi also broke into the palace for Ling Weiye, but it can't be said!

Looking at Tan Shenzhi in silence for a while, Ling Wei still moved his tightly held hand, and sure enough, Tan Shenzhi woke up immediately.In fact, if it wasn't for staying here for too long, with Tan Shenzhi's vigilance, he would have discovered Ling Wei long ago when he was awake. "Ayi, you're awake. Does the wound hurt or is there any discomfort? I'll call someone over immediately if I'm hungry." Ling Wei was seriously injured these days and has not woken up. Tan Shenzhi's patience has reached the extreme and he is very irritable. Irritable, the servants were sent far away by Luo Yin, so they haven't heard anything yet.At this time, Tan Shenzhi was full of surprise, even if anyone looked at him, he would find it impossible to find out the slightest appearance of the cold and arrogant person he usually is.

So Ling Wei couldn't help but reacted quickly and pulled Tan Shenzhi who was about to go out. After seeing him calm down and listening carefully to what he wanted to say, he smiled and said, "The wound doesn't hurt so much anymore, I'm not hungry now." , just a little thirsty." Hearing this, Tan Shenzhi immediately said, "Yi, wait a minute, I'll pour water for you right away." Watching Tan Shenzhi cautiously let go of the hands they held together and walked to the table, the pouring hand was still on the table. A little trembling, Ling Wei suddenly felt that it should be a pity that such a person only ended up like that under the arrangement of the world consciousness.

Carefully supported Ling Wei on his body and drank water, although he kept people away, Tan Shenzhi still asked people to change to hot water every half an hour to prepare hot meals, so the water temperature was just right at this moment.After helping Ling Wei to lie down, he pressed the corner of the quilt and before Ling Wei could ask anything, Tan Shenzhi said, "Ayi, it's still early in the morning, you can continue to rest for a while. The household department has already asked you to leave I'll take care of the next thing, you don't have to worry, you can rest assured and recuperate."
