In the nearly hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the amount of money borrowed by each family from the Ministry of Household Affairs ranges from hundreds of thousands to as little as 1,800 taels.
Among them, the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises were the most distinguished in founding military honors. Jia Cong's repayment of money will definitely make people who are unwilling to pay money feel resentful.
Unfortunately, in front of all the civil and military officials, they could only express their loyalty to the emperor and show their integrity to the officials. They followed Jia Cong and others one after another, gritting their teeth and agreeing to pay back the money.
After a while, Wen Tongxuan had recorded a whole big book. He put the ledger away with satisfaction and stood back in the queue of civil servants.
For a moment, the dynasty seemed to be coming to an end. Shui Rong and the other three kings were already planning to go home immediately to discuss money matters. Xia Shouzhong shook off the dust in his hands and shouted: "If there is something to do, we will leave the dynasty!"
All the civil and military officials in the palace bowed, and the words "congratulations to Your Majesty" were about to be uttered. Once again, childish shouts came from the queue of military officers.
"Your Majesty Jia Cong has something to say!"
The short legs moved again, and the fat orange cat with the pattern on the purple official robe seemed to become more flexible. It squinted its eyes and held its paws, and appeared in the hall in a blink of an eye.
In the queue of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, most of the censors decorated with Xie Zhi became excited again, gearing up and eager to try!
"The imperial envoy inspected Jia Cong, the military and political officer of Northern Zhili, and impeached the loyal king Liu Wei, Yizhong Prince Liu Ye, Dongping County Prince Qian Kangshi, Xining County Prince Qi Wenhua, Beijing County Wang Shuirong, Li Guofu First-Class Prince Liu Biao, and Du The Taiwei is in charge of the county uncle Wang Ziteng... he gathers the refugees with evil intentions... he impeaches Rongguo Mansion for attacking Rong Enbo Jia She, and Ningguo Mansion's powerful general Jia Rong is not strict in running the family..."
Jia Cong held a fluorene board and bowed down to read out the charges against more than 20 people for impeachment, and said bitterly: "My minister Jia Cong was ordered to inspect the capital, and it has been found that in Wanping County alone, 70% of the arable land has flowed into the capital. In the middle of the capital, where the civil and military nobles live, the rich have vast fields, and the poor have no place to stand. A heavy snowfall brings refugees everywhere, and the prosperous Zhaoyuan era is like a joke! The wine and meat in the rich families are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road. Your Majesty, maybe in a few days In the year, the people will have no land to cultivate, the court will have no taxes to collect, and a spark will ignite a raging fire..."
"shut up!"
"Scaremongering!"
"Nonsense!"
"When did I gather the refugees?"
More than twenty civil and military officials were impeached at one time, and all kinds of scoldings immediately erupted in the palace.
Liu Fu even jumped out on the spot, pointed at Jia Cong and cursed: "You are a little kid, you also imitate the imperial censor's words and officials to gain fame and reputation? When did I, the king, gather the exiles with evil intentions?"
"King Zhongxin, what do you mean?"
Do you really think that officials like me are not trolls?
As the leader of the censors, Lu Yang, the censor of Zuodu, immediately came out and scolded directly: "Liu Wei, why are we censors trying to gain fame and reputation? If you don't make it clear today, I will never finish with you!"
Liu Yan also realized that he was confused by Jia Cong's anger, and quickly apologized: "Master Lu, I didn't mean that..."
"Fang Jingyan, the imperial censor of the imperial palace, impeached the loyal king Liu Wei, ordered his slaves to plunder, and forced the people to surrender the land they depended on for survival. Gathering the refugees, gathering young people, nearly a thousand young people gathered in Wanping County alone, In the land of Gyeonggi, I am afraid that tens of thousands of young men have been taken under my command..."
Fang Jingyan faced Liu Yan and asked in a cold voice: "His Royal Highness King Zhongxin, what is the palace planning to do by recruiting so many young people? Does it take so many people to cultivate the land?"
….
"I second the proposal!"
"When I impeached Qian Kang, Prince of Dongping County, and Qi Wenhua, Prince of Xining County..."
"I impeach the prince of the county, Prince Teng, the governor of the capital, and Liu Biao, the first-class son of the governor..."
"I impeached Rongguo Mansion for attacking Rong Enbo Jia She, and Ningguo Mansion's powerful general Jia Rong..."
As a famous censor walked out of the queue, the Fengtian Palace immediately became filled with murderous intent, and every impeached person was accused of various crimes.
People from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have already silently calculated in their hearts. Let's not talk about the truth or falsehood. If a few charges are implemented, there will be a lot of heads in the Fengtian Palace.
"I supervised the censor Fu Youren and impeached the concubine Zhen..."
The sudden appearance of the name of the palace concubine caused the quarrel in the hall to suddenly stop.
There was a pause.
I saw a young censor facing the gaze of the emperor and ministers in the palace, talking without fear.
"The Concubine Zhen allowed her slaves to rob the women of good families, robbed them by force, and killed and silenced them... Your Majesty, I have evidence that Concubine Zhen's slaves secretly hid bandits in Zhuangzi, Gyeonggi Province, and took advantage of the great disaster. Slaughter the people and kidnap the young women..."
"I second the proposal!"
"I impeached the noble Zhou family for instigating the forced purchase and sale of his mother's family, and occupied the people's houses and land in order to build the provincial palace, leaving thirteen households homeless..."
"I impeached the virtuous concubine Jia for instigating her mother's family, Ningrong and Ningrong... uh..."
Hearing that someone was impeaching Yuanchun, Jia Cong turned around and saw the censor scratching his head. It took him a long time to slap his head: "I am impeaching the virtuous concubine Jia. As a palace concubine, I don't know how to take good care of your majesty's dragon body." , I haven’t seen you for a few days, and your Majesty has already lost weight!”
puff!
Jia Cong almost suffered internal injuries from the pressure, and Liu Heng's eyes widened in shock. The civil and military officials in the palace all suppressed their blushes. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare. After all, the censors at this time were all going crazy. What if they laughed out loud and were noticed?
"Brother Chen, you are really a fucking talent!"
"Do you blame me? You spoke too quickly and didn't even give me a chance. You brought up Concubine Xian in a hurry... Fortunately, I have a quick mind!"
"Brother Chen is wise!"
"Each other!"
The hall fell into an eerie silence for a while. Liu Heng looked on coldly, as if all this had nothing to do with him as the emperor. Several big shots in the cabinet closed their eyes and rested with their hands on their hands.
Only Jia Cong and the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate confronted the more than 20 impeached clan nobles.
"Xu Jin, the imperial censor of the imperial capital and the imperial censor of the imperial capital, impeached the Emperor of Great Xia..."
boom!
Liu Heng stood up in surprise and looked at the man in the hall who suddenly took off his official hat and knelt on the ground. Several ministers in the cabinet opened their eyes.
Even the officials from the two sides of the confrontation stopped cross-eyed, holding their breath and concentrating, not even daring to take a breath.
I saw Xu Jin put his official hat on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Xu Jin, I want to impeach the Great Emperor of Daxia. He is not strict in running the family, and the clan members are running rampant and lawless. Some officials are lenient and flattering, which has led to The Great Xia Law is in name only. The emperor’s son, the loyal Prince Liu Wei, his grandson, Prince Yizhong, Liu Ye... the palace concubines, the Zhen family, all have domestic slaves to do evil in the capital. No one from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Shuntian Mansion and the yamen of the various prefectures in the capital dare to speak out! Your Majesty, To govern the country, you must first rectify yourself, and to rectify yourself, you must first discipline your relatives. The laws of Daxia are the foundation of the country. I ask the Holy Judge to rectify the source and uphold justice!"
….
As Xu Jin's impeachment ended, Liu Wei immediately shouted loudly: "Xu Jin, you are so bold! Do you want to rebel?"
I saw that Xu Jin didn't pay attention to Liu Wei who was furious. Instead, he fell on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "I impeached Xu Jin, the censor of the capital procuratorate and the right minister of the capital. I impeached the emperor as a minister. It is treason and unethical. His crime is unforgivable. Please Holy Judgment!"
The atmosphere in the main hall instantly changed from silence to solemnity. Whether they were civil servants or military generals, many people were shocked by Xu Jin's behavior.
The first person in history to directly impeach the king!
Moreover, people are not just asking for fame, but they have something to say and a reputation for impeachment.
"Although Xu Jin is suspected of being treasonous and unethical, his words are all for the sake of the country, the country, and the country. Lu Yang, the censor of Zuodu, the imperial censor, respectfully asks your majesty to forgive Xu Jin's crime!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the motion!"...
"Xu Jin is treasonous and unethical. He insulted his father and should be punished with the death penalty to show the majesty of the royal family! My brother, please tell me. If your majesty does not punish him severely, it will be unfilial!"
After Liu Yan finished speaking through gritted teeth, many civil and military officials immediately followed him.
"I agree with you, Your Majesty the King of Loyalty, that Xu Jin is trying to gain fame by selling himself out, and he should be severely punished!"
hehe……
The emperor standing on the throne looked down at the bowing ministers in the palace, and looked at Xu Jin who was kneeling in prostration for a long time.
Today’s court is really lively!
Jia Cong united with more than 20 censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach Liu Fu and others. Last night he
Then I saw the memorial sent by the General Affairs Department. But I didn't expect that the impeachment had extended to the palace, and even Xu Jin impeached the Supreme Emperor. It was really eye-opening!
"Xu Jin, take him to prison!"
"Your impeachment of the loyal king Liu Yi, the king of Dongping County Qian Kangshi... and others will be jointly reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple!"
"Retreat!"
…
"Teacher, what are you doing?"
The Fusi of the North Town of the Dragon Guard was in charge of the imperial prison. Although Jia Cong was only a member of the Dragon Imperial Guard Qianhu in name, he still passed through many checkpoints and arrived at the imperial prison where birds were forbidden.
It seemed that the emperor did not really want to deal with Xu Jin. The prison was not only clean and dry, but also had a window facing the south.
There were beds, tables and chairs, and the small stove beside the table was burning brightly, dispelling the chill in the cell.
Xu Jin had already put on plain and elegant Confucian clothes, and was making tea leisurely. He said with a smile: "This is an agreement between my teacher and the saint. Otherwise, it would be difficult to check the three estates in Gyeonggi!"
I see!
Jia Cong finally felt relieved and sat at the table, taking out the food and wine from the food box one by one. After arranging them, he placed the copper wine pot on the stove.
Xu Jin placed a cup of tea in front of Jia Cong and explained in a warm voice: "There are noble clan members, one family is considered a family, and they all have large estates in Gyeonggi. As you said, the rich have endless fields, and the poor have nothing." The land to establish a cone. If we don't deal with it, the people of Gyeonggi may really have no land to cultivate in the future. How can we gather so many refugees with only Huangzhuang? We must find a way to divide the fields among the people and stabilize these people under the emperor's feet! "
Unless Taizu was alive in the previous life, the issue of land annexation could not be easily resolved. Relying on imperial decree? impossible.
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "Students have also been thinking about this matter these days. The saint's move can only be a deterrent at most, causing the clan members to spit out a very small part. In three to five years, it will probably turn out to be what it is now. The appearance. People are not saints, and their desires cannot be stopped."
"This is what my teacher advised the saint, but the saint said that he must give it a try. He is still here, and at least he can suppress these people..."
It is true that compared with the sage, His Majesty the Emperor is ten Zhengyang Streets behind in power.
If he is truly the beloved son of his parents, he has a far-reaching plan. The saint is using his reputation to pave the way for the emperor!
Jia Cong sighed for a while and said solemnly: "Perhaps only through reform can we find a way to completely ban the issue of land annexation!"
