How many buildings are in the mist

"I don't agree."

The court, which had been arguing endlessly, became quiet now.Feng Zizhang looked up at her, with surprise and helplessness written on his face, even if it was something she could have expected, it was something she really didn't want to meet.

The cut-off time is the large-scale award granted by the late Emperor Wencheng in ten years, because the record was the most complete at that time, and there were also a large number of royal awards that were not easy to recover.Since then, all the extra land, mountains, marshes and forests have to be handed in at a rate of half and half. There is no detailed restriction on the quality of the land to be handed over, as long as it is half of the total amount.As for the population, according to the total amount of land determined in the [-]th year of Wencheng, [-]% and [-]% were allowed to be cultivated by slaves and maidservants on behalf of the master's family, while [-]% had to be cultivated by tenants.The extra slaves must be released.Moreover, the old, weak, sick, and disabled slaves cannot be deliberately selected to be released. The master's family has the responsibility to support the old, weak, sick, and disabled slaves.As for the ratio and method of handing over money and food, there will be no modification.

The aristocratic group took the lead in opposing the theory of four-six points and maintenance responsibilities; poor family officials opposed the empty half-half, and believed that a sum of money should be paid to the master's family for the released slaves as repayment for the buyer.Feng Zizhang didn't plan to quarrel, so let them quarrel first.Although this approach will allow the two parties to hate each other even more, she can benefit from it. When they both quarrel so badly that there is a problem, she can come out and criticize both parties, so as to propose a backup plan she prepared.

The plan was good, even Feng Zihuan might be dissatisfied with her, but what surprised her was Feng Zihuan's angry expression.

At this moment, Feng Zihuan took a deep breath with a dissatisfied and depressed expression on his face and said, "I disagree with this plan because of two points. First, we don't restrict the details, as long as half of the land and mountains are required, then if you hand over the plan They are all poor, unable to farm and make profits. Isn’t it true that the court has been deceived by others? What’s the point of rectifying it? If the people know it, do they think that the court is just pretending and thieves shouting for the thief? What’s the credibility of the court? Second, the criteria for judging how many slaves should be released must be detailed. It is best to specify how many people are needed for what kind of land. I don’t want to deny that slaves must be released, especially young and strong. Young and strong are not for the court and It is absolutely impossible to serve the country and hide in a big family as a slave. Therefore, the plan must be detailed, and then detailed. Finally, I want to know, ten years in writing..."

She stopped herself and didn't continue talking. "that's all."

At this time, Gu Heng suddenly stood up and expressed his protest: first, in the current plan, the imperial court directly requires the family to pay the land and give up the population, but does not compensate the family at any level, which is unjust; second , in the current plan, the slaves are released according to the needs of farming, and the slaves have to take care of the daily life of the master's family. Is this oppressing the slaves in a disguised form, or should be judged according to the overall needs; third——

He hadn't come to the third point yet, Feng Zihuan stood up, stared at him, almost gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you think the court is robbing? Like a bandit?"

The few people who were going to go along with Gu Heng did not dare to move.

Gu Heng didn't speak, and stood there quietly with his back straight.Feng Zihuan almost wanted to break his back.

"Do you think this plan is too harsh, and I should start counting from the first year of Xianhe when I succeeded to the throne? Or do you think this plan is too merciful, and I should go back to Wencheng five years, or even three years?" At that time, when the time comes, you Gu family, afraid that there will be no land left? Huh? Gu Aiqing, your family’s land in Yongjia County and Wu County is the largest in the two counties, and there are three other properties in the mountains of Kuaiji. Are you comfortable living? Huh? There are thousands of slaves and servants at every turn, not counting as sheltered tenants and nominal slaves, so they can be used easily? What is your intention when you say this now?"

Cui Yi's figure moved and was seen by Feng Zizhang, the drums in their hearts beat rapidly.

Gu Heng said calmly: "The old minister hopes to help His Majesty carry out the reforms that His Majesty wants. It will be effective without breaking etiquette and morality, and will not break trust with anyone, so that everyone in the world can be trusted. Let Your Majesty be a generation of Mingjun. "

Although Gu Heng's words can lead to many problems, but they are not considered to be smug; to interpret them that way is to over-interpret, and it is a crime to impose.If you are sane, clear-headed, and know to reconcile rather than oppose, and not make things bigger, you shouldn't do those interpretations.

But at this time Feng Zihuan was not.

With a sound of "Boom", Feng Zihuan flicked his sleeve, and all the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the desk flew out and hit the palace pillar outside the palace gate. "Gu Aiqing's words mean that what I want to do and what I want to do, I have broken the trust of your family?" Before Gu Heng could speak up to defend, Feng Zihuan's voice suddenly amplified, and his anger could no longer be contained, "Such shameless words! You are ashamed to say it! 'Under the sky, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's minister{135}', everyone of you knows this! Later, it is said later, 'The doctor is not equal, I am a single virtuous '! You are the ministers of the land, the land, the servants, the slaves, who do you come from? From me!! If there is no royal family based here, how can you get the glory and wealth?! You have enjoyed these benefits for so many years, and you are insatiable. The common people not only have no way to sue, but also sold themselves to rich families, let others bully, and then scolded the damn emperor for conniving this family to commit crimes?! It sounds like you are all benefiting, and I will bear the infamy for you?!"

Seeing that the emperor was furious, all the ministers knelt down one after another.Only Gu Heng, Cui Yi and Feng Zizhang were still standing.

"Could it be that you, Gu Aiqing, are also 'Yanyan living in rest', 'resting in bed', 'drinking in joy', 'going in and out'?! Hmph! I see that you are 'do nothing for nothing'! You The Gu family is in Yongjia and Wu Jun. The best fruit forest, the most productive water pool, and the best 136 mu of land are all yours! It was originally the land of farmers in Yongjia, but it was taken away by your family. Is it you who took the lead, or is it the father?! You must know that at the time of your father, occupying the mountains and lakes was a felony! You are a noble family, and you are all loyal to the country, and you are all important ministers. Now I don’t know if you are still loyal to the country. Now, I think you may have a different mind early! After all, you always say, "Is it the king's minister who leads the land?" Do you think I will be the emperor of Zhou, and then you can become princes?! Then who is the king of Zhuang of Chu? {137} ?! Is that you, Gu Heng?!"

Gu Heng had to kneel now.

The court hall was so quiet that only Feng Zihuan's breathing could be heard.This surprised Feng Zizhang, and further confirmed her suspicion that Feng Zihuan's practice period had come.

Cui Yi came out to smooth things over, and then said that she would continue to discuss with the court ministries.Feng Zihuan agreed, but he still seized the opportunity to ridicule Cui Yi.Cui Yi calmly let her speak.However, after scolding here, all the ministers were still kneeling, and she told Feng Zizhang again, saying that King Nankang did not understand the importance of doing this, and still held the idea of ​​​​what to do, so it is impossible to make things happen Well done, only to get worse, and so on.Feng Zizhang listened quietly, knowing in his heart that his sister's anger had gradually dissipated, otherwise he wouldn't want to drag today's situation back a bit, and he wouldn't have said such accusations.

After the court was over, Feng Zizhang and Cui Yi walked out together, relatively silent.Cui Xuanji, who heard the whole process outside the hall, first sent the emperor to the study, and then made a detour to see Cui Yi before going on patrol.Cui Yi didn't say anything, just winked at her.Cui Xuanji understood, and said to Feng Zizhang: "I will go to patrol first, and I will wait for Your Highness at His Highness's mansion later." Then he left quickly.

Cui Yi discussed with Feng Zizhang, and they will face the saint later, try to delay it, there is no need to be tough with the emperor.Feng Zizhang replied yes.Cui Yi looked around and asked Feng Zizhang about the practice cycle in a low voice, Feng Zizhang said helplessly: "Cui Xiang, to tell you the truth, there are five levels of magical skills, as far as I know, the late emperor did not practice the third level." , because the late emperor began to practice hard, long after the former empress dowager was abolished. And my sister is very talented and has plenty of time. I am afraid that I have already practiced to the fourth level. And the fourth level, what is it? I don't know what it looks like. I don't know what the cycle is and how it will happen."

Cui Yi was surprised, and asked again: "If you go crazy, does Your Highness know how to restrain it?"

"I barely know."

"reluctantly?"

"Yes, because I only know how to restrain or assist from the side, but how much effort is required and whether it is effective, no one has tried it, so I can't say."

Cui Yi nodded, and asked if anyone else knew?Feng Zizhang said that Feng Zibai, the eldest daughter of Feng Ye, the prince of Anxiang County, might know. "What about Feng Ziyang, Prince of Wuren County?" Feng Zizhang shook his head, "I don't know about that." Cui Yi understood, and seeing that the time was about the same, she went to see the emperor with Feng Zizhang.

What Feng Zihuan said to them was still the same point of view just now, but the tone was much calmer and the content was much more detailed.You especially asked Feng Zizhang sternly why he chose Wencheng for ten years.Feng Zizhang replied truthfully, isn't that for the sake of negotiating everything?Otherwise, if you take them all away from the beginning, there is no need to discuss them.She even said, "Sister, we still have to be honest. If we take back what my mother gave to others, it will be too bad."

I don't know what they want to take back from us as compensation.

Feng Zihuan didn't say anything after listening, and told them what to do next.After the discussion between the three, Feng Zizhang hurried home, and Cui Xuanji was already waiting at the mansion, drinking tea with Xie Yan, discussing specific details that could be improved.

"Your Highness."

"Master Cui has been waiting for a long time."

"Your Highness and His Majesty just now, how are you talking?"

Feng Zizhang sat down next to Xie Yan, and Xie Yan waited on her to drink tea, "Just now, Cui Xiangxian and I agreed to everything. I agreed, and Cui Xiang said that it will be sure. Anyway, now according to His Majesty's request, Let's delay the time first, and try to persuade some people while revising. Over there, I heard from Xie Yan that they went to Lu's house again, but it is still not very useful. I wonder if Master Cui can be invited to go?"

Cui Xuanji nodded, and asked Xie Yan about the situation with Xie Hui before, silently thinking about what to do.

Feng Zizhang also asked Cui Xuanji to persuade the emperor if he had the opportunity, but the first priority should be not to make the emperor overly angry, "and if my sister still asks you for a martial arts competition, I ask Master Cui to do my best. Let my sister loosen up." Cui Xuanji said yes, and then left and went back to the palace.

In fact, she knew in her heart that in the recent martial arts competition, it wasn't that she didn't use her full strength, but that Feng Zihuan's moves were erratic, big and small, making it unpredictable.

After working overnight, she rested the next day.Go home and wash up, change your clothes, send someone to deliver the post first, and visit Luso when it gets dark.Luso loved her very much since she was a child, and she was quite sure of persuading Luso—even if it was just to persuade him not to express his position in the future, not to say a word.When they arrived at the house, not only Lu Suo was there, but Lu Hao was also there. The two smiled and asked her to sit down, and ordered people to bring out good food and wine.But there is no mention of the current political situation in the language.

Cui Xuanji was helpless, and took the initiative to open the topic, asking if the Lu family and his son knew about the reprimand of Gu Heng yesterday.The father and son didn't evade either, saying that they naturally heard about it, and they heard it in detail.Cui Xuanji took advantage of the situation and pointed out that the conservative aristocratic clan and poor officials are almost at odds with each other, and the emperor is paranoid and irritable. Well, if you can't, then it's fine not to express your position, or to stand on the same side with any party.

Lu Suo nodded with a smile, raised his glass, persuaded her to eat and drink, but said after drinking: "Xuan Ji, in fact, I made it very clear to Xie Hui last time, my family doesn't care, but I don't think it's a good thing. There are not many absolutely good things in the world, but it is difficult to control a double-edged sword like this. Someone must pay a huge price for it. You have to understand this truth."

Cui Xuanji nodded to express his approval, and wanted to ask Lu Suo if he had any other opinions and suggestions on the policy. Unexpectedly, a person came outside and made a muffled voice from afar from the darkness: "Brother, you said you don't have time tonight Accompanying me to drink is because you want to meet your niece. Why don't you let me join you?"

Taking a closer look, Cui Xuanji recognized Zhu Shijing from the iconic mole of wealth on his face.

Zhu Shijing and Lu Suo were considered to be from the same school that day, so they have a close relationship.Although Zhu Shijing's family education is not as good as his dead brother Zhu Shihan, he is the patriarch of the high family anyway, and his status is different.After Zhu Shihan's death, Feng Zihuan's favor for their family never ceased, and it was also transferred to Zhu Shijing.Even though this person's short three-year career as prime minister caused Feng Zihuan enough trouble and embarrassment, Feng Zihuan never blamed him and sent him to Guangling. No change - Zhu Shihan's title was left to Zhu Hezhi, and Feng Zihuan gave Zhu Shijing a separate title, which was no worse than Zhu Hezhi's.

Seeing that it was him, Cui Xuanji hurriedly got up to meet him.Zhu Shijing greeted her politely, sat down on the seat prepared by the servant immediately, and drank wine.Lu Suo was embarrassed for a while, but Zhu Shijing didn't evade, and asked Cui Xuanji directly if he came here today to persuade your uncle.Cui Xuanji answered yes frankly, and took advantage of the situation to ask Zhu Shijing for his opinion.

Zhu Shijing laughed loudly and said, "I'm not as good as your uncle. I only have one bad word for you: I object." Then, without giving Cui Xuanji a chance to ask questions, he added: "No matter what kind of benefits the emperor gives to my family, I will I still object. Let the emperor ask my elder brother, her dead father-in-law, hmph! If he knows the truth, he will be very angry. Your actions will cause chaos in the world and destroy the moral principles. Learning from the family turned those illiterate, ignorant and dirty things overturned. Could it be that the world is raised by those dogs? For the sake of his own reputation, the emperor has gone in a crooked way. Don't make a mistake who is Min! Or, is it you Cui Xie's family, borrowing someone's hand to attack others for your own status? It's still a good idea!"

Zhu Shijing's words were not polite at all, and Cui Xuanji also understood that the other party's unscrupulousness was because he was determined not to inform, let alone use any indecent methods, and he wanted something from him.

"So, you are just talking to me. I don't agree, and I will never support it. You can bring these words to His Majesty. I have nothing to fear."

Cui Xuanji didn't explain anything, just said he knew it, and left.Lu Hao came to see her off, and when he arrived at the door, he whispered to her: "Zhu Shijing left the front line without permission and dared not go home, but he came to my house specially. He didn't say clearly, but I guess he was acting as a lobbyist for Gu Heng's group. Although... the content is not very similar. Today's words are ugly, so don't take it to your heart. Father has a sentence that I want to bring to you. "

"Cousin please tell me."

"Land and population can only be dealt with one of them. If both are taken care of, something big will happen."

Cui Xuanji sighed, thanked and left.

The author has something to say:

{135}From "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Gufeng Zhishi Beishan", the same below.This poem should be understood as an indictment of the laborers against the upper classes.

{136} also comes from "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Gufengzhishi Beishan", both of which are used to satirize the upper class who love leisure and hate work.
