Wear it with the house, but I am a black household [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 255

There was a fierce dispute between the court and China over the matter of Yintian. Some people hoped that the emperor would investigate thoroughly, while others felt that there was no need to go to war, and that anyone who had a problem should be investigated.

Since Wei Guogong has reported the Minister of the Household Department and the Yushi Jiancheng, let people check the two of them, and there is really no need to go to war.

You must know that after a series of turmoil, the imperial court has been seriously injured. Even if it is replaced with fresh blood, it is inevitable that there will be many discomforts.

But some other people don't think so. In their view, since there is a problem with the national capital of Yintian, they can't let it go easily.

Although what happened before made the court very busy, it is undoubtedly a good thing in the long run.

Emperor Xingde's face was unpredictable, and he looked at the princes of His Highness majestically, "Boss, what do you say?"

The eldest prince had a half-smile, with gloating eyes, "Father, of course this matter must be investigated, and it must be thoroughly investigated. No matter from which point of view, the Yintian incident is more serious than the military officer's corruption. Didn’t the turmoil happen because of serious land annexation, and the people have no land to live on? For the long-term stability of Da Chu, this matter must be investigated to the end.”

Emperor Xingde didn't say anything about the eldest prince's words, and asked other people, "What about the third, fourth, and eighth sons? Tell them all, what do you think?"

The third prince and the fourth prince had ugly faces, and when they heard the emperor's question, they all restrained their minds.

"Report to my father, this matter was started by the Minister of the Household Department, I think we should start the investigation from the Minister of the Household Department." This is the fourth prince.

"I report to my father that it is the responsibility of the supervisory censor to search Yintian. I think we should start with the inspection of the censor." The third prince was not to be outdone, and since the fourth prince wanted to suppress his influence, he was not polite.

The eighth prince watched the two confront each other, and suddenly remembered Zhang Shide's previous advice.

Before going to court, Zhang Shide waited at the gate on purpose, and said a few words to him, "My lord, if you want something to happen at the next court meeting, but the emperor doesn't want to, you can try to improve your reputation." Remonstrance."

At that time, the eighth prince didn't know why, but now he suddenly understood a little bit.

Looking at the emperor aloft above, and the party of the three princes and the party of the four princes arguing back and forth, he suddenly understood what this sentence meant.

In fact, Emperor Xingde is also unwilling to go to war again, right?

After several previous accidents, Emperor Xingde's power has reached a new height, none of these brothers is his opponent.

But now, the third and fourth are facing each other, but in order to deal with the boss, they have to cooperate.

As for himself, the eighth prince knew very well that all his brothers looked down on him, and no one would help him.And he was looked at differently by his brothers, and he was unwilling to succumb to them.

For Emperor Xingde, this is a very good situation, so he probably won't want to change it anymore.

However, this is not in his own interest. Although he has some influence, he cannot compete with the other three. If this continues, the chances are slim.

After thinking about it, the eighth prince still felt unwilling, so he simply stepped forward, "Report to the emperor, I feel that the matter of Yin Tian is related to the reputation of the emperor, if it is found out early, the people of the world will be treated fairly. In my heart, my father must be the wise king of the world."

Emperor Xingde was stunned for a moment, his heart beat uncontrollably.

He has done so many things before, and in the hearts of the people in the capital, he is already the representative of Mingjun, but this is not enough, since Dachu is so big, the people in the capital cannot only remember him.

And if he accomplishes this, it will definitely be recorded in the history books, which is no small feat.

Now that there is nothing lacking, Emperor Xingde, who is firmly in power and money, cares about his reputation like never before.

He wants to be an emperor through the ages, he wants future generations to remember his achievements, and he wants to be an emperor familiar to everyone like Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

Qin Shihuang's feat of unifying the six countries is beyond him, and Han Wudi's feat of creating a prosperous world, he can still try.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xingde suddenly felt a surge of emotion, "The matter of Yintian is of great importance. It must be investigated, and it will be handed over to... Dali Temple and Jinyiwei. First, find out who is involved in the household department and the supervisory censor. Find out Afterwards, the rest of the people, together with the General Secretary, will check all the land, and make sure to find out the situation of concealment and non-reporting, and the turning of good land into wasteland."

"Yes!!!" The people in the court knelt down and agreed.

"As for the third and fourth children, you can study in the mansion for the time being!" It means, resign from your duties and stay in the mansion honestly!

The third and fourth princes had no choice but to agree.

Originally, they had already persuaded their father and only focused on checking the Minister of the Household Department and the Yushi Jiancheng, but the Eighth Prince stepped in and turned it into a national census of hidden land.This is really hunting geese all day long, but today I was pecked by geese.

Old Ba, Lao Ba, you only saw the influence that Census Yintian can attack them, but you didn't see how far behind it was!

Just like Wei Guogong said, just one person can help people avoid so many taxes, and can also turn good fertile land into wasteland.Then don't think about it, how many Juren are there in the whole country?How many Jinshi?

Which of these officials doesn't own a few acres of fertile land?And which one did not give shelter to relatives?

Regardless of whether the investigation finds out, this is cutting off their money. I didn't expect Lao Ba to do this to deal with them?

Just after the New Year, the lively atmosphere has not yet passed, and the capital once again fell into panic.

But this time, it was no longer just about the military officer, but everyone involved.

After Emperor Xingde knew the function of the newspaper, he slowly took advantage of it. After he came down from court that day, he asked people to write several articles and published them in the newspaper.

From various angles, he praised the benefits of his actions to the people, and at the same time proposed some reward and punishment measures.

For example, if the people are willing to take the initiative to report the matter of their own hidden land, they can ignore the past for concealing and failing to report the matter before, and reward the three-year tax exemption for hidden land.

In other words, if you take the initiative to speak out now, you can wait three years before paying taxes.

But if the concealment is not reported, if someone exposes it, or if it is found out, Yintian will be confiscated and become the property of the imperial court.

The imperial court will also give rewards to those who expose. If the total number of hidden fields you expose exceeds ten mu, you will be rewarded with one mu of land, and if you expose more than [-] mu of land, you will be rewarded with two mu of land.

This is a very tempting reward for most common people.

The reason for reporting this is that Emperor Xingde wanted the common people to take the initiative to expose the matter of Yin Tian when examining the officials of the household department and the supervisory censor, so that the subsequent investigation work would be much easier.

At first, the common people hesitated, unable to believe that it was true.

When a street gangster reported a landlord in the suburbs of Beijing for a gamble, and asked the court to take back [-] acres of hidden land, and after he got two acres of land himself, it completely detonated.

As a privileged class in the eyes of the common people, landlords who have scholars in their families, the court will investigate as soon as they say it, and they will take it back quickly.How dare other people take chances.

At that moment, there was a long queue at the government office in the capital, some of them reported their hidden fields, and some wanted to try their luck to see if they could get a few acres of land.

So, when Dali Temple and Jinyiwei hadn't made much progress, Yintian's investigation work came from behind and grabbed everyone's attention.

Anxi sat in the mansion, checking the waves of news, and kept thinking about it.

The power of the eldest prince has been greatly damaged. After being corrupted by the military officer, there is another wave of blood. However, those fresh blood have not really gained a firm foothold in the army, and it will take time to climb up.

The third and fourth princes were more involved in the matter with Yin Tian, ​​and after this matter was over, even if it wasn't hurt, they would lose a lot.

The last is the Eighth Prince. He has basically become the public enemy of many literati now. Even if some officials abide by the law and don't have any hidden fields under their names, they will no longer support the Eighth Prince.

The reason is very simple, that is, in this incident, the Eighth Prince showed great joy and unscrupulous means in order to suppress others, no matter whether he really didn't know the gangster behind it, or even if he knew, he was fearless, he was not a suitable follower.

The Eighth Prince is out, no matter in the hearts of Emperor Xingde or the hearts of all officials.

But this is not enough, the boss, the third and the fourth are still safe and sound. If Anxi wants to succeed in the position smoothly, he has to push them one step further.

It wasn't that Anxi was in a hurry, but that at the palace banquet, he noticed something was wrong.

At that time, Anxi, according to the custom, toasted Emperor Xingde with his brothers.Since they are princes, apart from the empress and concubines, they are the first ones.

Before them, Anxi saw that when Emperor Xingde toasted the concubines, he just lightly touched his lips, but he didn't actually drink much.

Afterwards, the first prince toasted, and Emperor Xingde drank a glass for his face, and the third and fourth princes also had a glass. When they arrived in Anxi, Emperor Xingde didn't drink much, and took a sip.

Logically speaking, with such a light degree, Emperor Xingde didn't drink much, no matter how bad his drinking capacity was, he would not have a drunk reaction.

But at that time, Anxi saw it for real, a blush appeared on Emperor Xingde's face, and the roots of his ears were also red, which was the reaction of Emperor Xingde when he was drunk.

In order to make sure that he read it correctly, Anxi waited for a while and talked with Emperor Xingde for a while.

Emperor Xingde managed to save face, and after talking with Anxi for a while, his mind was clear, his words were clear, and he definitely did not look drunk.

Anxi restrained her doubts, thinking that she had misread it.

But then, at the Yuanxiao family banquet, he saw Emperor Xingde's drunken reaction again, still after several glasses of water and wine.

This had to make him vigilant in his heart.

Because Anxi knows that in this world, there is a medicine that can achieve this effect.

And this medicine is slightly poisonous!

Regardless of whether Emperor Xingde's abnormality is related to this medicine, Anxi must be prepared.

Lowering his eyes and closing his eyebrows, Anxi pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"Inform Zhang Shide to implement the 'Silence' plan."

An Yi knelt down, and said bluntly, "Yes."

Immediately, he disappeared into the study.
