"Let Zhao Kuangyi go to Yingchang?" In the Chui Gong Hall, Emperor Liu looked at Zhao Pu who was sitting beside him with great interest and asked, "Whose suggestion is this?"
Zhao Pu slightly cupped his hands and replied: "It's His Highness King Jin's suggestion!"
"That's right!" Emperor Liu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "The Zhao and Li families have always had a close relationship. Zhao Kuangyi and Li Shouyuan are still uncle-nephew in terms of seniority. With him to mediate, the effect should be better than anyone else's.
Furthermore, in the past few months, Zhao Kuangyi has become somewhat silent in court. He had previously made many suggestions on restructuring, but now he remains silent. I would also like to take this opportunity to see what his attitude is! "
There was a sense of "speculation" in Emperor Liu's words. Zhao Pu did not follow up, but complimented in a very useless way: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Liu waved his hand and said quietly: "I have heard some rumors recently, saying that there is Pan You in Gyeonggi and Zheng Qi in Henan. Both of them are old ministers in the south of the Yangtze River, but they are arbitrary and arbitrary in Daozhou in the Central Plains. They are also showing off their power. Some people say that the imperial court would rather trust the ministers from the south of the Yangtze River and entrust them with important tasks than use the words of the wise ministers from the north. Has Zhao Qing ever heard of this?"
After hearing the question, Zhao Pu immediately accompanied him and said: "The old minister has heard about this, but it is just a few gossips, which is not enough. If there is criticism, there has never been less discussion between the government and the public. When the restructuring is a major matter, there is only a little discussion. It won’t affect the overall reform situation, so don’t worry too much!”
Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu smiled coldly: "Zhao Qing is open-minded and worthy of the Prime Minister's generosity. However, these comments are not just complaints, I just feel that they are heart-breaking!"
Those who said these words created conflicts, emphasized the distinction between north and south, and deliberately undermined the unity of the court. The land is divided into north and south, but aren't people all subjects of the Han Dynasty? Could it be that the only loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty were those from the north, while ministers from the south were all traitors and traitors?
Jiangnan has been pacified for more than 20 years, but there are still people who stir up trouble and confuse people's hearts based on the differences between the north and the south. These people are the thieves and the traitors hiding in the Han Dynasty!
If these people with ulterior motives are not punished, how can they expose the world and calm people's hearts? If there are problems with the system, it can still be changed. But if people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to deal with! "
"According to your majesty's wish?" Seeing that Emperor Liu took this matter so seriously, Zhao Pu asked for instructions in cooperation.
"The Imperial City Division has submitted a list to me, and Zhao Qing will identify the areas, search according to the map, and deal with those who show off their wisdom as women!" Emperor Liu ordered directly.
"yes!"
Zhao Pu agreed simply and without any doubts. However, he was also dissatisfied with these remarks. After all, there were many who attacked him, Zhao Pu. Whether it was Pan You or Zheng Qi, they were all recommended by Zhao Pu.
Pan You need not say more. Zheng Qi was also the newly promoted reform general after his return to the prime minister. He served as the deputy chief envoy of Henan Province and assisted Li Fang in implementing reforms. As for Li Fang, it's okay to let him take charge of the overall situation and coordinate personnel. If you really let him do things boldly, the shortcomings are still too obvious, mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
Therefore, it has been known as the "Strength Order" since the Jiangnan period. After serving as a Han Dynasty, it remained true to its original intention, was upright and upright, and was not afraid of the powerful. It was famous and even spread to the ears of Emperor Liu. After Jinling surrendered, the prince presided over the aftermath, and Zheng Qi was also one of the best in the screening of Jiangnan surrender officials. After all, given the chaotic political ecology of Jiangnan at that time, Zheng Qi's request was It is rare and easy to catch the eye of the Han court.
In the tense political atmosphere of the Han Dynasty in recent years, it is also very important that Zheng Qi can stand firm and even rise step by step. When the tide of tax reform rolls in, some people are drowned in the waves, while others face the waves and actively ride the tide. Zheng Qi is obviously one of them.
When he was appointed to the Henan Province, Zheng Qi also set off a reform trend. Likewise, he could not avoid tormenting the bureaucrats. The most criticized point is that after the new system was promulgated, Zheng Qi required state and county bureaucrats to fully study the new system regulations and understand the court's reform intentions. He required them to recite the relevant provisions and undergo regular inspections. Those who failed to pass the test would be punished as minor. Demotion, or removal from office.
Study first, then implement policies. Zheng Qi can be regarded as leading a new trend in the implementation of Han Dynasty policies. However, it is not so friendly to those bureaucrats. Zheng Qi is naturally targeted and criticized.
As for Zhao Pu, isn't targeting the two of them the same as targeting him, Mr. Zhao? Although it can be regarded as the barking of dogs and the moaning of flies, the boredom in the heart is certain. Emperor Liu intends to rectify it, and Zhao Pu naturally cannot object.
After saying this, Emperor Liu pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Pu with interest, and asked: "Zhao Qing has been presiding over the tax reform work for such a long time. What considerations do you have about these things that have been exposed?"
After hearing the question, Zhao Pu considered it for a moment, then raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the veteran, the emergence of these problems just shows that the reform of the imperial court has made progress and has touched the root of the problem, otherwise there would not be such a big response.
At this time, it is even more important to strengthen our will, continue to implement the reform, provide strong support to reform officials in various places, and crack down on those who delay or even conspire to resist. At the same time, we will strengthen inspections and supervision to firmly control the reform process.”
"Since Zhao Qing has already made a plan, then go ahead and do it according to your ideas! I still say the same thing and fully support it!" Emperor Liu expressed his stance.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!" Zhao Pu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and paid homage.
Seeing this, Emperor Liu slowly arranged the memorials on the imperial case and continued to ask as if chatting: "The most important thing right now is the inventory of the land. Many problems have been exposed. Gyeonggi Province and the two Fighting is the manifestation. Concealment, concealment, transactions and even gifts are all available. Does the center have any consideration for these phenomena? "
After hearing the question, Zhao Pu thought for a while, but still looked calm: "I believe that the land is always there. No matter what method is used, once it is exposed and seen through, it will be found out sooner or later. It just takes time. The court must be on guard." , or the local government is not cooperating and is colluding privately.”
Emperor Liu nodded, suddenly sat up, and his whole state changed. There was a hint of curiosity in his tone: "I heard that Zhengzhou has taken the lead in tax reform. This autumn tax, subordinates' Did Yuanwu County implement the new system in accordance with the regulations?"
Mentioning this, Mr. Zhao Pu also showed a satisfied expression on his face, nodded and said: "I have to say that Li Hang, the governor of the state, gave the court a surprise. Although it is currently limited to Yuanwu County, the things exposed in it are very important. It’s a great reference value!”
