Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

The memorial in Emperor Jianwen's hand was much thicker than usual, perhaps because of this, he put the memorial on the imperial case after almost half an hour, and said with a frosty face: "Dongsheng, go to Wenyuan Pavilion Invite the four elders over here."

When Lin Fangxu arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, the four pavilion elders, including Shang Tan and others, were all sitting in their seats, just sitting there, not arguing and busy as usual, and seemed to be waiting for him specially.

By the way, of course I was waiting for him. When the joint memorial was handed over to the Secretary of General Administration, it had already caused a shock. Now I guess I know everything I need to know.

The people in the Tongzheng Secretary were so frightened that they dared not release it, so they hurriedly handed it up, but the Tongzheng Envoy did not pass it to the cabinet, but directly handed it to Lin Fangxu.

So now the four cabinet elders look at him with complicated expressions, so why did they just hand it over? To be caught off guard like now.

Compared with the others, Shang Tan was actually the one who was most at a loss and confused. Naturally, as a small secretary, he couldn't know the content of the memorial in advance, but his uncle seemed to have a way.

He still remembered that his uncle woke him up from the bed in a hurry in the middle of the night last night, and asked him if he knew what his grandfather had done, and why they didn't tell him, and whether they still regarded him as a businessman.

Naturally, Shang Tan didn't know either. Now he thought of his uncle's panicked look last night, and when he came to Wenyuan Pavilion on duty this morning, the other people looked at him, feeling a little blocked, a little flustered, and a little... scared , yes scared.

Until now, seeing Lin Fangxu, his mood has improved a little. Since the envoy chose to hand over the memorial directly to Dongsheng, and Dongsheng handed it directly to the Holy Majesty without going through the cabinet, he must have gotten the news about these things in advance.

Maybe it's because there is a tall man in front now, and he finally doesn't have to bear the wrath of others alone, so Shang Tan is not angry because he was kept in the dark, but now he is strangely relieved.

Sure enough, Mr. Dong Ge looked at Lin Fangxu with a sullen face, and said mockingly: "Yesterday, the old man boasted to the juniors in the family that Lin Liushou was a great talent. , now it seems that they don’t dare to let them learn from you anymore, so as not to be bold and reckless in the future and bring trouble to the family.”

Lin Fangxu's heart sank, but he said respectfully on his face: "Kang Gushuo can't afford to be an official now, and the official is not very courageous, he is very small. The Holy Majesty ordered the official to come and invite the four adults to go to the Qianqing Palace, and return Four adults, please move."

Elder Dong Ge wanted to say something more, hoping to find out from Lin Fangxu what the attitude of the Holy Majesty is now, but was interrupted by Elder Kong Ge. The old man had no expression from the beginning until now, and said in an extremely flat tone: " Now that the Holy Majesty has ordered, let's go..., the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk, let's do whatever we want."

Elder Dong Ge scolded his mother in his heart, heh..., you are relaxed now, do you really think that you are not involved in the taxation of Yintian in the south of the Yangtze River?Don't forget, you Kong Laoer is the chief assistant, what is going to happen to the Great Wei's Jiangshan Sheji, the first one to be scolded is the Holy One, and the second one to be scolded is you!

But no matter how angry Dong Ge was, there was nothing he could do at this time. Could it be that he could still hide from the emperor, but when he passed in front of Lin Fangxu, he flicked his sleeves and glared at him.

No matter how bold Lin Fangxu was, he didn't dare to confront the first-rank official, so he could only respond with a smile. Seeing him like this, Guan Ge sighed and patted him on the shoulder, and said helplessly, "You are really taking too much risk this time!"

'If I didn't submit it directly to the Holy Majesty but to the cabinet, the memorial from Shigong and the others would probably have been accidentally lost or damaged due to the mistake of some unlucky and humble person. '

Lin Fangxu's mood at this time may only be understood by Mr. Li Ge. For a person who has been in a relationship all year round, today's incident is really beyond the outline for him, and he died full of resentment.

What can Lin Fangxu do? For him

This thing is also out of line.

yes……!He did know that there was such a joint memorial in his previous life, and he also knew that it was the leader of the teacher. As for whether the teacher had a ghostwriter, he didn't know.

But this memorial was handed over by the Tongzheng Envoy in your previous life? !Unexpectedly, in this life, the old man didn't plan to do it alone, and insisted on pulling himself along!

Hey... I can only blame myself for the convenience of handing out memorials at Zhongshu Sheren's position, plus my master and benefactor are so high-profile, I can't hide it no matter how hard I try, so he reluctantly Forced to get involved.

It is really impossible to say that Lin Fangxu has no objection to Mr. Tongzhengshi. He never planned to make such a show. Indeed, as Mr. Dong Ge said, the Lin family can't stand the trouble.

He also really thought about taking advantage of this matter to gain seniority benefits for himself, but not in this way. It is useless to say more now, and he can only comfort himself that the higher the risk, the higher the benefit.

After Lin Fangxu gave the anxious Shang Tan a reassuring look, he followed the four elders to Qianqing Palace.

When Lin Fangxu left, there was only one His Majesty the Emperor who seemed to be eating people in Qianqing Palace. When he came back with the four elders, not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace was there, but also the left and right governors of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, the British Duke and the Right Governor. Brother Huang is also there.

Alright..., the first-rank civil and military officials are all here, plus the emperor and the emperor's heir, the eight people gathered here at this time are the people who can influence the fate of the Wei Dynasty. A group of people who still need to look up to now, Lin Fangxu, a part-time Zhongshusheren, silently shrank behind.

But reality once again taught Lin Fangxu that reborn people are not qualified to keep a low profile.

Seeing that everyone was present, Emperor Jianwen said without waiting for them to salute, "Dong Sheng, read this memorial to everyone."

"..."

Lin Fangxu had no choice but to step forward, took the thick memorial, and read slowly in a dignified and solemn tone: "I wait to hear that the king is the master of all things in the world, and his subjects are the most important....Please pour out your courage, Chen Zhi for His Majesty.

... In the 13th year of Hongwu, the fertile land in the hands of the common people decreased sharply, but the payment and apportionment continued, ...

This year, due to the lack of grain rain, the yield per mu is less than half of the previous year, and the taxes paid account for three to four out of ten....The ministers and others couldn't bear the people's lack of food in winter, so they jointly signed a letter and begged for the holy judge."

The crown prince Zhu Xianzong heard the blue veins on his forehead twitching violently. The imperial court only asked for [-]% of the tax. Where did it come from?Who gave them the courage to act recklessly, disregarding the life and death of the people, and trap the court in injustice.

However, it is not yet his turn to get angry and scold others. His furious emperor's father has already stood up in anger, swept the pen, inkstone, and memorial on the imperial case under the table, slapped the book case, and roared Said: "Who will tell me! What's going on!"

"Old Kong Ge... you are the chief assistant of the cabinet and a scholar of the Zhongji Palace. Do you know that my people are still starving? Where is Dong Ge? Your Dong family's ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River... you know ?"

"Heh..., not only did you know it, but you also helped to cover it up! Since I took the throne, I was afraid of failing the late emperor's painstaking efforts, afraid of being sorry for thousands of people, and I have worked hard for the past few years. generation!"

The emperor's words have already reached this point, how dare the courtiers stand still, including Zhu Xianzong, the son of the courtiers, knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, calm down, I am guilty."

It is said that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Lin Fangxu felt a little wronged when he just entered the court and was usually only responsible for small things such as running errands and passing on messages.

Emperor Jianwen also seemed to be aware that responsibilities and powers should be clearly defined. At this time, he looked at the most powerful and highest-ranking courtier with a blank face and asked, "Mr. Kong Ge, as the chief assistant, do you have anything to say?"

After all, he was the one who assisted the late emperor in fighting the country. Even though the emperor had a bad expression at this time, he could still calmly say: "My lord, there have been many problems in Jiangnan and other places since the decline of the previous emperor. Until now, if you really want to look into it, I'm afraid that if it doesn't happen for two or three days, it won't make sense at all, and it will involve a lot of people.

To eradicate, I am afraid it will shake the foundation. "

Emperor Jianwen had calmed down slowly at this time, thinking about his words carefully, he could only helplessly agree in his heart, the former dynasty was corrupt and perish, and land annexation was an important reason, if it could be easily cured, it would not be his Zhu family's turn to sit in the country.

Although it was extremely difficult, Emperor Jianwen didn't want to let it go. In that case, the Wei Dynasty might not be able to survive the fourth or fifth generation, so he continued: "Since you can't understand it and explain it clearly, then call The six ministries and the nine ministers will have a court discussion tomorrow!... If there is no reason to come to an agreement after discussion, I will let the five armies' governors' mansion handle it!"

Civil affairs do not pre-empt military affairs, and military affairs naturally cannot participate in civil affairs. Military generals are not allowed to fight wars, but they are allowed to manage common affairs. How can they be governed?With bows, arrows, knives and guns?As a representative of the southern gentry, Elder Dong Ge, who had been silent since he came in, knew that it was the emperor's intentional harsh words and could not be taken seriously, but at this moment his neck felt a little chilly.

Whenever there is any important decision to be made in the court, the elders of Wenyuan Pavilion and the six ministries and nine ministers will discuss it, and the emperor will preside over it. In the end, the adults will vote to decide. The emperor can overthrow it, but the emperor generally does not do that. , at most dislike the lack of consideration, let's discuss it again.

If Lin Fangxu was only editing and compiling by the Imperial Academy, he would never be able to get a handle on such things as court discussions, but who told him to work part-time as a member of Zhongshu Sheren? The same is true for the four chief ministers, such as Jie, who is a special secretary for Ge Lao, so naturally they have to bring them with them on such occasions.

However, now no one can feel that it is lucky to participate in the court meeting. The six departments and nine ministers who got the news all panicked. Anxious Shang Tan greeted him through the door.
