Please, let me be a fool

In addition, he himself is the chief eunuch who is the supervisor of rites and the admiral.

Identity is not the same as before.

Every move is naturally attracting attention.

Of course, even so, only a handful of people knew about the arrest of Li Fang.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhengming and Song Gongwen were among them. After all, they both served in the cabinet and often went to and from the palace.

"Students have heard about this before. It is a serious crime to occupy people's fields. Mr. Li should not be so confused." Song Gongwen nodded, feeling a little unbelievable, wondering if the prince made a mistake.

But soon, he thought of something, and then said in a deep tone: "Teacher, what if Mr. Li really committed this crime?"

Really committed?

Zhang Zhengming was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't think about this problem because he thought it was impossible.

But if it is true that it is true to condone relatives to occupy people's fields, then it will be different.

"That's what he deserves the most," he said softly, then his eyes changed, and he continued: "Maybe you are right, otherwise, Your Majesty would not have suddenly agreed to Li Fang's resignation."

At first, Zhang Zhengming felt that it was an unwise decision for His Majesty to let Li Fang die.

But if the other party really committed a crime, it can be completely explained.

Because of the guilt, it is impossible to continue to serve in the cabinet.

As for Song Gongwen.

It was also because of the thought of this that the question was issued.

But this time.

Zhang Zhengming frowned again, and asked: "But if this crime is serious, why didn't His Majesty take Li Fang directly in the capital, but sent someone to arrest him after he retires and returns home? Isn't that superfluous? "

"Yeah...why?" Song Gongwen was taken aback, his face was full of doubts, he couldn't figure out why.

It's just that he always felt in his heart that His Majesty would definitely not do some meaningless actions.

So start racking your brains and start thinking.

Think about why.

a moment.

Song Gongwen's eyes widened suddenly.

Because just now, there was a flash of inspiration in my mind.

He got it!

"Teacher, I understand, this time I completely understand."

"It can be explained back and forth, so it must be so."

At this time, Song Gongwen slapped the table and stood up excitedly, so that the tea was knocked to the ground.

An unbelievable look appeared on his face.

This also scared the opposite Zhang Zhengming,

Fortunately, his concentration was sufficient and he was not affected. Just seeing the other party's excited appearance, he couldn't help but wonder: "Gongwen, what do you understand?"

"The students understand everything!" Song Gongwen was still very excited, pacing back and forth in the lobby.

At the same time, the words "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is clever and clever" are spit out from time to time.

Zhang Zhengming was speechless, so he could only continue to speak.

"Kongwen, calm down, sit down and talk!"

As soon as the words came out.Asking Song Gongwen to stop, realizing that he had lost his composure, he could only smile awkwardly.

Then he sat back quickly, drank a large cup of tea, and suppressed his excitement.

After the mood is completely calmed down.

Song Gongwen took another deep breath, then looked at his teacher, and said seriously: "Students feel that since the dismissal of Li Fang, His Majesty has been carrying out an unparalleled and huge plan, and this plan is also about spreading the income into the mu! "

"And everything is under His Majesty's planning and control!"

Chapter 56 Your Majesty is really a god

Divide into mu? Zhang Zhengming was a little puzzled, and said: "But didn't you just bring it up today?" "

Your Majesty has already approved Li Fang's resignation, so how could it be connected with Tan Ding Ru Mu?

He felt a little unbelievable, and felt completely unreasonable.

"So!" Song Gongwen was excited.

He stood up and continued: "That's why the student said that His Majesty has calculated everything into consideration."

"Is that so?" Zhang Zhengming frowned tightly, feeling that he couldn't keep up with his student's brain circuit, so he said, "Then tell me, what exactly is His Majesty planning?"

"Teacher, just imagine, what if Li Fang really committed the crime of pampering relatives and occupying people's land?" Song Gongwen calmed down at this moment, and then said: "Who is Li Fang? He is a representative of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River." , has worked in the imperial court for many years, and has a high reputation."

"Then if he is found out and convicted, what will happen? It will definitely cause a big earthquake in the court and in the south of the Yangtze River, especially those who committed the same crime as him will be deterred. Simply put, Your Majesty I just want to kill the chicken for the monkey to see!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming felt as if he had grasped something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't understand, so he continued.

"Then it doesn't explain why His Majesty waited until Li Fang retired and returned home before convicting him."

If only to deter the gentry.

The effect of the arrest and conviction in the capital should be similar.

Still can't explain the reason why His Majesty wants to make such an unnecessary move.

"teacher."

"So this is His Majesty's brilliance."

Song Gongwen smiled and didn't answer directly, but said: "At the beginning, the students didn't understand. Your Majesty clearly knows that the implementation of dividing the land into the mu is good for the country and the people, but why do you only let me choose one place as a place to serve?" It's a pilot project, not a nationwide implementation. It wasn't until the teacher reminded the students that it was because His Majesty knew that the gentry is powerful now. If it goes too far, it will be difficult to end. As for not being able to continue.”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming nodded, naturally knowing the reason behind it.

Although the power of the local gentry is smaller, if their interests are violated, they will definitely resist.

Leaving aside, let’s just talk about myself. When a certain reform was implemented, I experienced this kind of thing, and I also understand how difficult it is for local snakes.

But he still didn't quite understand what the other party wanted to express, so he could only say, "Go on."

"But the students feel that His Majesty's considerations are far more than that." Song Gongwen smiled and continued: "Teacher, think about it, where is the place where Li Fang invaded the people's fields?"

"Naturally it is Longyang Mansion." Zhang Zhengming said, but in the next moment, he finally realized something, and immediately couldn't help but widen his eyes and said: "What do you mean, His Majesty actually wants you to use Longyang Mansion as a A pilot project that spreads all the money into the mu?"

At this moment, he completely understood what Song Gongwen meant.

Longyang Mansion has an extremely important position in the Jiangnan area.

From the beginning of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Jinshi is out every year.

Even now, quite a few of them are officials in the imperial court or in the local area.

As said, Li Fang was a representative of these people before he resigned.

But once the other party was punished by the court in Longyang Mansion for encroaching on the people's land, the effect would be quite different. It would be like putting a knife directly on the neck, and other people would definitely be in panic all day long.

What if, at this time, Song Gongwen used Longyang Mansion as a pilot project for spreading the land into the mu?

The so-called no tears without seeing the coffin, because of the lessons learned from the past, I lost the idea of ​​​​resistance.

So the next implementation will undoubtedly be much easier.

It can even be said to be completed in a short period of time.

And Zhang Zhengming also realized at this time, why His Majesty asked Song Gongwen to find a pilot, because all preparations had been made long ago!

Is this His Majesty's method?

"Sigh~"

At this point in his thoughts, Zhang Zhengming suddenly took a breath,

What a smart person he is, even if he didn't know it before.

But after thinking about it, I understood it all.

Next to him, Song Gongwen nodded, knowing that the teacher had understood what he meant, and began to sigh with emotion.

What he was thinking in his heart was also very simple.

Longyang Mansion is the headquarters of the gentry in the Jiangnan area.

The situation can be said to be complicated.

But as long as it is successfully implemented in this area, it can be implemented more smoothly across the country based on the point.

As for why His Majesty didn't say it clearly, it's easier to understand. In the imperial meeting, besides myself and the teacher, there were three other great scholars.

In this case, it is impossible to say it clearly, because the emperor cannot directly express his position on certain matters.

Only in this way can there be more than enough advances and retreats, which is the so-called checks and balances!

He will also be smart enough to finally understand this point.

Did not live up to His Majesty's expectations.

At this moment, Song Gongwen felt more and more that His Majesty is really a god-man, which can be said to be fully revealed.This plan is not only deeply hidden, but also so farsighted that it is unbelievable.

If it wasn't for a flash of inspiration, I wouldn't have thought of it at all!

Your Majesty is really far-sighted.

But soon.

Some doubts arose in Zhang Zhengming's heart, and he immediately said, "However, your Majesty should not have known about the matter of sharing the property with the mother? How do you explain this?"

The arrest of Li Fang was the first, and the latter was the second. He couldn't figure out this issue.

Could it be that His Majesty can count on it, and has long expected it to fail?

This is too evil, isn't it?

If you don't know.

All the speculation just now is also unfounded.

"Your Majesty naturally doesn't know."

Song Gongwen nodded, and said: "Your Majesty must know that the trend of land annexation in various prefectures has penetrated into the bone marrow, and it must be rectified. Therefore, Your Majesty has already thought of countermeasures, and I just happen to be with Your Majesty. Just thought of it together."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming nodded his head. If so, then the explanation makes sense.

His Majesty reads so many memorials every day, so he definitely knows about the land annexation.

As an emperor, he must curb this trend.

Otherwise, the foundation of the country will be shaken.

Of course, Zhang Zhengming also grasped the key points in the words, and couldn't help saying: "You said that your majesty has already thought of a countermeasure, so what is your majesty's countermeasure?"

After all, it was Song Gongwen who proposed the idea of ​​dividing the household into the mu, but what is His Majesty's real countermeasure?

This made him naturally curious.

"Teacher, this is about to talk about Dongchang." Song Gongwen smiled and said mysteriously.

"The students know that the teacher is worried that the establishment of Dongchang will have an impact on Chao Gang."

"But these, would His Majesty, who is wise and mighty, not know?"

He thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty must know, and will never let this happen."

"So, the students feel that His Majesty has allocated such power to Dongchang."

"It's because Your Majesty is still planning a more important purpose."

what?

Does His Majesty have a more important purpose?
