Chapter 127 blowing cold wind
"What's up?"
His Majesty asked calmly, "What is the matter that dares to prevent the implementation of the land restriction order?"
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to claim the land of the royal clan's children without authorization, so I ask your Majesty to decide."
Xie Ji said sincerely, now that he has fired his bow, he can no longer go back.
"What do you think we should do?" the emperor asked Xie Ji. He was a little hesitant. After all, it was a clan.
"Your Majesty, please treat everyone equally and put the overall situation first."
If the clan is indulged this time, there will be endless troubles, even though those clans have no military power.
In terms of actual power, he is not as powerful as the Prime Minister, but in terms of status, he cannot offend those clan members.
It would be great if everyone could be driven out of the capital.
Or limit their actions so that they can be kings in peace and contentment.
This way everyone will be happy.
Xie Ji saw that the emperor was still hesitating, so he continued: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to go eastward is precisely because he is the same as everyone else. The princes who break the law are the same as the common people. If your Majesty treats the royal family differently this time, then those officials will definitely
Unbalanced mind."
"This is not beneficial to the governance of the country! What's more, they already have countless acres of land. One hundred thousand hectares of land, even if your Majesty has treated them badly, plus the support of their salary, it is enough to maintain their luxurious life.
And there is more than enough.”
After listening to Xie Ji's words, the emperor nodded. One hundred thousand hectares was really a lot, and he did not treat them badly.
This amount was a hundred times what Xie Ji had, so they probably wouldn't have any complaints.
"In that case, Prime Minister, go and do it and say it is my will."
The emperor said, he knew that in this way, he could also suppress the arrogance of those clans.
"I accept your order and thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as Xie Jigang finished speaking, a chamberlain came in to report.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, King Lu has arrived."
Xie Ji thought to himself that he would not come to complain to His Majesty because he left directly.
"Uncle please come in."
"No need, Your Majesty. I was bullied by that good prime minister of yours, and I just came to seek justice."
When King Lu walked in, he saw that Xie Ji was also here, and his eyes were a bit evil, "Oh, it's the Prime Minister who is the evil person who complained first."
"Uncle Emperor, what's wrong? What did the Prime Minister do to offend Uncle Emperor?"
The emperor asked, this emperor's uncle really barged in directly when he came to Weiyang Palace, and he thought he was a child.
This is what you are used to as an elder.
"I have met His Royal Highness King Lu."
Xie Ji called him that on purpose. When King Lu heard Xie Ji calling him that, he snorted coldly, "Your Highness, a prince can also be called Your Highness, and an untitled prince can also be called Your Highness."
"Your Majesty, I asked the Prime Minister to go to my palace to talk to me and asked him to wait for a while. He actually left directly. He didn't respect the old and care for the young at all, and he didn't take the emperor's uncle seriously. Is it necessary?
He will be satisfied only if I personally go to greet him as Prime Minister."
King Lu looked at Xie Ji in such a disgusting manner. He not only wanted to seize the land that originally belonged to them, but also showed no respect for others.
Just ask him to wait, but he actually turns around and leaves. Is this what an official can do?
"Uncle Huang has misunderstood. Prime Minister, I asked him to come to Weiyang Palace. It is not disrespectful to Uncle Emperor."
"That's right. If His Highness feels that I am not sincere enough, how about I personally stand in front of the palace all night to apologize to His Highness?" Xie Ji smiled at King Lu.
King Lu, he was so angry that his face was almost red.
"Your Majesty, the land restriction decree issued by the Prime Minister is really the root cause of disaster for the country. Your Majesty, since my founding, my Taizu has made a national policy of treating talents well and treating virtuous corporals. This has prompted many sages and talents to serve me in Daxia.
"
"Now, the policy enacted by the Prime Minister is to take over the land of the scholars in the world and distribute the land that originally belonged to the scholars to the people. This will cause complaints from the scholars. It is really not a good policy. Your Majesty, please take back the order and return it to the officials.
land."
King Lu said, this Xie Ji, he had been careless in trying to win over him before, but now, he wants to make Xie Ji regret it.
He really doesn't value land or anything like that, but the interests behind this land are huge.
If His Majesty makes this move, then Xie Ji will really have the final say in the court.
He didn't believe that Xie Jihui's plan was just to issue a land restriction order, it was definitely more than that.
There must be some other plan waiting for them behind the scenes, and they must not start it like this.
"There is some truth in what the emperor uncle said, but how much land must be given to Corporal Lixian to show his respect for the scholars? What's more, the policy adopted by the prime minister is only to limit the excess land. What's more, nowadays, land annexation is serious, and there are
How much land has been occupied by those landlords?"
"Some officials may not hold even one-tenth of the restricted land. They have as much power as the prime minister. They only had 3,000 hectares of land before, but now they have given over more than 2,000 hectares. The prime minister can do it.
In this way, other officials should follow suit."
King Lu's face turned a little dark after hearing the emperor's words. His Majesty was quite confused by that Xie Ji.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely serve you and spare no effort."
"To please your majesty, you are a treacherous minister." King Lu muttered. He only wanted to please your majesty. He was indeed a treacherous minister.
"Uncle Emperor, I want you to set an example on behalf of the clan and implement the land restriction order. I will never forget your contribution. Thank you very much, Uncle Emperor." The emperor stepped down from his seat and walked to King Lu.
The emperor thought, didn't this uncle consider himself an elder?
In this case, then you, the emperor's uncle, should help the younger generation, so that you can live up to your elders' bearing.
King Lu's face turned dark, he didn't want to agree.
"Your Majesty, minister..."
"I know that the emperor's uncle is thinking about the justice of the family and the country. What he wants is that our country will last forever. On behalf of the world, I would like to thank the emperor for his support." The emperor saw what King Lu had to say and took it directly.
King Lu looked a little sad. Seeing that the emperor was not allowed to refute, and his face looked uglier when he smiled than when he cried, he could only say: "No."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Your Majesty and Your Majesty are working together. If the clan is like this, how can the country not be strong..."
Xie Ji saw this scene and praised it very much, using all the good words he had.
I thought I was going to go to war, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily.
"Hahaha, what the Prime Minister said makes sense, what you say makes sense!" The emperor laughed heartily. He had not laughed so happily for a long time.
King Lu, he wanted to cry. He had known that he would not come. Now he is being forced by His Majesty to agree, and he is unwilling to do so.
Damn Xie Ji, you actually encouraged Your Majesty and let Your Majesty say this. Damn Xie Ji, one day, I will definitely pull you down from the position of Prime Minister.
…Prince Lu’s Mansion…
"Do you think that King Lu's entry into the palace can stop Xie Ji's land restriction order?"
One official said that he hated the land restriction order. If it weren't for that order, half of his land would have been taken away by Xie Ji. How could he be willing to accept it?
"Father can do it. My father is your majesty's uncle. Even your majesty has to give my father some respect. As long as my father opens his mouth, the land restriction order will be abolished sooner or later." Qin Xu said, if his father takes action, the traitor will never have an easy time.
of.
"The traitor is too arrogant now. It was fine in the past, but he has become more arrogant recently. He actually dared to propose a land restriction order. Isn't this to please His Majesty?" Isn't this policy introduced just to please His Majesty? It is also called "for the people".
profit.
I can't believe that that treacherous official completely abandoned all civil and military officials and took the path of completely pleasing His Majesty.
If anything unexpected happens to His Majesty, then the traitor will be doomed.
The official was startled by his own thoughts.
In the palace, King Lu and Xie Ji came together.
"Xie Ji, don't think that I have lost."
King Lu looked at Xie Ji and said, why didn't he find this look so annoying before?
"Go back to your Majesty, I don't dare."
Xie Ji said, you still have to respect your Majesty's uncle.
"If you don't dare, if you don't dare, just withdraw the land restriction order. Then I, the king, will be at peace with you."
King Lu said that if Xie Ji really abolished the land restriction order, it would not be impossible for him to reconcile with this Xie Ji.
"Back to your Majesty, this is not something that lower officials can do. This is His Majesty's edict, and there is nothing that lower officials can do."
Xie Ji sighed, which made King Lu want to kill Xie Ji. How could this man be so in need of a beating?
"Stop pretending to me. Since the Prime Minister just said that he would stand in my palace all night, the Prime Minister should not regret it." King Lu smiled and said, if the land is gone, it will be gone, and he will not be short of it. But if Xie Ji is allowed to stand in his
It must be fun to have the cold wind blowing in front of the door all night.
Xie Ji:……
"Your Majesty, I have something important to do. Why don't you come back another day?" Standing at the door all night, he couldn't die of cold. In this damn weather, standing all night would kill half of his life.
"Your Majesty, take your leave. I'll go ahead first." Xie Ji got on his horse and left the palace quickly without waiting for King Lu to speak.
This horse riding was something he had time to learn before. He had a good foundation, so he learned it in a short time.
When King Lu saw Xie Ji Juechen leaving, he shook his sleeves angrily.
