Chapter 883 Old Party, New Party, Li Party
,.
All officials knew that the prince was in charge of the court today, but in fact no one really took the eight-year-old prince to heart.
But now, the prince was shocked the courtiers very much.
Taking advantage of the failure of Liu Shi's manner in front of the palace, Liu Shi, the vanguard of anti-New Law, was directly given a charge of deceiving the emperor and imprisoning the emperor, and then seized all official positions, removed them from the people, and was also exiled to Vietnam.
This heavy punch not only knocked Liu Wei unconscious, but even Prime Minister Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and other prime ministers did not expect it.
Xiao Yu felt dizzy.
Why are these people from the Li family more ruthless?
The Supreme Emperor was in Taiyuan back then, and it was very impressive to keep a low profile. Emperor Li Shimin was even more cruel and directly seized the throne in the Xuanwu Sect Incident. Now the eight-year-old prince is so cruel as soon as he gets up.
But then I thought about it and found that this father was Li Shimin and the teacher was Li Chao. It seemed not surprising that he taught such a prince.
Xiao Yu was trembling with anger. When the prince came, he took the excuse to get Liu Li down. He wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and attack the old party.
Today, the court has been divided into two parties due to reforms. The new party is naturally the new party, and the old party is opposed to the new party.
Among the old and new parties, the new party was mainly prime ministers such as Li Chao, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, and a group of officials such as Sun Fujia and Wang Gui. The old party was represented by several prime ministers such as Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda.
In general, the new party occupies more important positions in the middle and middle positions, while the old party has a larger number.
However, in the new party, there is another Li Party. The prime ministers such as Fang Du are not included in this Li Party. The Li Party is a circle led by Li Chao, Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia and others.
Of course, the new and old party Li Dang are actually just private statements. There has never been any new and old party Li Dang say this in the court.
But that's the truth.
Xiao Yu is the leader of the old party, and Liu Shi is the pioneer of the old party.
Now that the pioneer has been killed, Xiao Yu can't help feeling sad that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
He wanted to leave the line and object, but he took half a step and saw the wink of Chen Shuda at him.↑△Small↓△ . .m】
Xiao Yu paused for a moment, then withdrew his feet. He restrained himself and thought carefully.
He realized the look of Chen Shuda.
Although the prince is young, he is still the prince, and now he is the regent of the state appointed by the emperor, and the prince is the king.
Today, the crown prince was in court on the first day. No matter what decision the crown prince made, he could not simply object. Because doing so was deliberately affecting the crown prince's authority.
Besides, Liu Wei himself did not have the etiquette, and the prince had dealt with it, but he was the prince. The first decision he made today when he was in court on the first day. Could it be that as the prime minister, he had to oppose it in public and force the prince to take it back and make his life?
If he really wants to do this, he will not take the prince seriously.
What's more, people like Changsun Wuji will definitely take the opportunity to play, not only to mess with Liu Yan, but also to attack them together.
Today, they can't win no matter what.
A small impatience will cause trouble, and the prince cannot take advantage of the situation just because of Liu Yan.
The important thing is to abolish the new law. Liu Wei’s exile is only temporary. As long as the new law can be abolished, it will be fine to find an opportunity to let the emperor transfer Liu Wei back.
Several guards came in and gave Liu Wei, who was lying on the ground.
Restore tranquility in the hall.
Cheng Qian put his hands on the armrest of the dragon chaise. His little man sat in the big dragon chaise, which seemed a little inconsistent.
But the prince was tall and his eyes were filled with regict power.
He took down Liu Wei, the chief censor, and no one in the palace was underestimated by the crown prince again.
No matter how young the prince is, he is also a regent of the state.
His eyes swept over the ministers in the hall, Chengqian took back his eyes, and Lang Sheng said, "I have also heard that the court has had some controversy over the new policy recently. The new law is the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army proposed by the Grand Marshal Shang Ling Li to discuss and pass it after being approved by the prime ministers under the Central Party, and then issued an edict to hand it over to the new policy of Zhenguan to be implemented by Shang Sheng."
"The new law is the court policy adopted by Your Majesty and the imperial center after careful discussion. But now, someone attacked the new law while Li Xiang went abroad to resist the joint invasion of the Turks and Goguryeo, while His Majesty was sick and unable to manage the government. Is this the work of the minister?"
"certainly!"
Cheng Qian suddenly turned a turn.
"Your Majesty and Li Xiangguo also told the orphan that no policy is perfect. No one is perfect. No one is perfect. Even the new policy will definitely have flaws at the beginning, but after the implementation, problems can still be found."
"If there is something wrong with the new policy, please modify it, but you cannot give up on your food because of choking."
Such a long speech shocked the officials of the new and old parties in the hall.
His Highness the Crown Prince can actually say such words? Some people have already concluded that this must be taught to the Crown Prince by the emperor, and it cannot be the Crown Prince's own argument.
Cheng Qian was still talking there.
"Today, I began to regent the country. The first prince order of the regent is to make all officials in the world target the new law. In the previous article, you can express some opinions without restrictions. It can either point out the problems of the new law or make better suggestions. But one thing is, I don't want to see those who only criticize the new law. You either point out the shortcomings of the new law in the form, and you have to come up with real evidence, or come up with some better insights on the current affairs of the State Administration."
"No matter how many ranks of officials, they need to write an article. As long as they are well written, Gu He and the court will reward them. Those who are particularly outstanding will be promoted."
The prince's words shocked the officials in the hall again.
After hearing this, Xiao Yu was not so angry.
In his opinion, this was probably taught by the emperor to the crown prince. In fact, it was the emperor's meaning, but it was just through the words of the crown prince. If this is true, then this means that the emperor no longer completely supports the new law.
The emperor began to relax and had an attitude.
"Gou has been learning the new law and has some of his own opinions in his heart. Today, Gou will throw away the bricks and attract jade first."
Chengqian proposed a deficiency in the new law in front of all officials.
"The Two Tax Law was originally a reform plan to collect taxes more reasonably, but after the Two Tax Law reform, the people in the world complained. What to complain about, complain about tax increases, and the burden was heavier."
"In addition to renting and adjusting regular taxes, local tax and household tax should also be added. Local tax and household tax are not based on Dingkou as the basis for taxation, but on the basis of property. This was originally reasonable, but one thing I ignored before, that is, the people's positive taxes have not been reduced, and the two taxes have increased a lot, which has indeed increased the burden."
"This is a loophole and a shortcoming. Today, I will make a suggestion, two taxes, and add a standard."
"That is, every household in the world is limited to 100 mu of land. If the land is 100 mu or less than 100 mu, two taxes will not be levied. If the land is more than 100 mu, two taxes will be levied based on the excess part based on the number of land acres."
As soon as the prince said this.
The prime ministers such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, and even Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yu Wen Shiji, Gao Shilian, Yang Gongren, etc., as well as the ministers, all opened their mouths wide.
Is this advice from the prince not good? Of course not, it’s not bad, but it’s too good. It’s so good that all officials are thinking, why did I never think of such a suggestion before?
Fang Xuanling took out his scepter and took out his list.
"Your Highness is dedicated to the people, kind! Great charity!"
Du Ruhui held the jade tablet and slapped it in the palm of his palm, and Changsun Wuji and others also followed him to the high fives, so the sound of slapping in the hall continued.
Ministers expressed their appreciation for the prince in this way.
Fang Xuanling was very excited and relieved.
In fact, what the prince said was already mentioned when Li Chao was in court when he was in court. When Li Chao proposed the reform of the two taxes, he had set such a standard. There is a minimum taxation standard for two taxes, which is one hundred acres of land per household.
For those under one hundred acres, no tax will be added. For those over one hundred acres, no tax will be added.
Li Chao proposed this, considering that the addition of two taxes would increase the burden on the people. Therefore, he proposed a minimum standard, but this standard was rejected.
The person who rejects it is the emperor.
The emperor believed that if this standard was set, the two taxes would basically not be taxed by the people, and they could only be collected by those rich and powerful families.
Li Shimin believes that if taxes are only increased to large households, it will undoubtedly be difficult. If everyone treats everyone equally and taxes with land and property as the tax standard, then there is no reason for the large household to object.
It was indeed relied on this to implement the two tax laws.
But it also led to everyone who opposed the two taxes later.
Now that the anti-new law is so fierce, the prince stood up and proposed the suggestion of establishing a tax point of 100 acres. Although it is not new, it has greatly alleviated the current situation and atmosphere.
After all, in this way, ordinary people basically don’t have to pay two taxes anymore.
Ordinary people occupy not much land and property in the world, but their number is very large. Even if they occupy the number of households in the world, it is not an exaggeration. The people who became Tang Dynasty no longer have to pay two taxes, and they no longer oppose two taxes, so the court faced much less pressure.
The big players still oppose it, but they seem much thinner.
Fang Xuanling had to admire that the entry point chosen by the prince was very good.
First, he took down Liu Wei, and then announced that all officials in the world would discuss the gains and losses of the new policy. Then, he personally put forward a correction suggestion for the new law.
In this way, the extreme opposition situation in the new policy in the court has eased a lot. The most important point is that although the prince has not abolished the new law now, he personally proposed corrections, which undoubtedly made the old parties who opposed the new law see some hope, which is much better than being dragged every day before.
This is also a result that they can accept.
