Chapter 149 (Two old men debate politics...)
iang bowed her head and defended herself: "she even calls me Aunt Wang. What effect can my words have her own sister-in-law, the wife of the magistrate, goes there more frequently than I do, but it do...Chen Tingjian is a 19-year-old top scorer. In the same year, he Qingxian, who is 22 years old, came second.
at that time, both of them were students from poor families. Even though they got the scenery in the Spring Festival, after a short period of scenery, they had to face the incompatibility with the rich place of the capital together.
therefore, in the first two years of their acquaintance, Chen Tingjian and he Qingxian ate and lived together, and they were inseparable friends.
until Chen Tingjian made more and more new friends because of his different temperament, while he Qingxian offended more and more people.
when he Qingxian was squeezed out to the outside place, Chen Tingjian, who spoke lightly, could not help.
since then, the two men have also embarked on a completely different way of becoming officials. Chen Tingjian has been promoted higher and higher, he Qingxian has been promoted and demoted, and he Qingxian was almost beheaded because of his letter scolding Huayang's imperial grandfather.
but the age in his early twenties is the purest and warmest time for a person, and the friendship he has made at that time is also the most sincere.
so, although the two haven't seen each other for 25 years, when we meet again today, we only need to look at each other to know that the other person is still the old friend in his memory, and that there are still advantages and problems that should not be missed.
when they first got into the carriage, Chen Tingjian and he Qingxian were happy. The former hoped that he Qingxian could help him implement the new policy and take advantage of the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the capital. The latter hopes that Chen Tingjian can accept the new policy drafted by him, thoroughly restore the decadent and defeated world to the heyday of Taizu and Chengzu, and truly make the people stable and the court clear and clear.
it's just that when he Qingxian took out his thick playbook, and when Chen Tingjian took a quick look at it, neither of them could laugh, and began a debate with a growing voice.
Chen Tingjian originally planned to send he Qingxian all the way to the house where Emperor Yuanyou rewarded the upright official, and the two talked while drinking.
but the fact is that as soon as the carriage arrived at the city gate, Chen Tingjian got out of the car with a black face, changed to his own carriage, and took his two sons into the city first.
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Jin Yiwei commanded Liu Shou to tell Emperor Yuanyou and Empress Dowager Qi the news handed over by his men.
Yuanyou Emperor: "is it really noisy"
Liu Shou: "Yes, the people who lined up to get in and out of the city gate heard it. Chen GE scolded the car for being stubborn when he got out of the car, and he GE stuck out the window and replied headstrong."
Yuanyou Emperor:.
he was often lectured by Chen Tingjian himself, and he often saw Chen Tingjian scold officials who were incompetent in their work, but he dared to scold Chen Tingjian face to face, except for those speech officials who had been demoted to nowhere in the past two years.
he was a disciple, and if he wanted to refute Chen Tingjian, he had to be polite and euphemism. on the mother's side, she trusted Chen Tingjian extremely and would only refute Chen Tingjian when he spoke for him, hoping that Chen Tingjian would be a strict teacher and not indulge him too much.
after Liu Shou retired, Emperor Yuanyou looked at the Empress Dowager Qi: "Mother, what if he Qingxian refuses to cooperate with Chen GE's old reform law"
you can't just call people to Beijing to seal the pavilion and drive them back to Nanjing in a few days, right
the Empress Dowager Qi smiled and said, "if you listen at the same time, you will be clear, and if you listen, you will be dark."
when there was no early dynasty the next day, Chen Tingjian came to see Emperor Yuanyou and Empress Dowager Qi with he Qingxian, who had just taken office.
when the two entered the door, Emperor Yuanyou first looked at his husband and saw that Chen Tingjian was neatly dressed, with a long beard and a light demeanor, as if he had never been unhappy with he Qingxian yesterday.
Emperor Yuanyou looked at he Qingxian, who was like thunder through his ears, but he Qingxian was never seen. He GE, who was obviously three years older than Chen Tingjian, was half taller than Chen Tingjian, and his skin color was the common wheat yellow of the farming people. he was thin but straight, with black hair and firm eyes, and he was even younger than Chen Tingjian.

which emperor doesn't like honest officials
Emperor Yuanyou always admired he Qingxian very much. When he saw a real person, Yuanyou Emperor could not help praising: "he GE has a good elegant demeanor. He is really like a pine on the top of the mountain, and his bones are towering!"
he Qingxian was impolite to Chen Tingjian. Facing the Young Emperor, the ruler of the people's livelihood in the world, he Qingxian immediately bowed to the ground in awe and piety from the bottom of his heart: "my temper has never been pleased with the courtiers of the emperors. Thanks to the appreciation of the emperor, I was able to enter Beijing and enter the pavilion. I am grateful. I am willing to be driven by the emperor for the rest of my life until I die."
Chen Tingjian stood by, looking at his old friend lying on the ground, and then savoring the words of his old friend. He really didn't know what to say.
Empress Dowager Qi looked at him with a smile.
Emperor Yuanyou left the table and personally picked up he Qingxian and said some words of encouragement that made he Qingxian's eyes red.
however, Emperor Yuanyou did not forget to speak for Chen Tingjian: "this time the elder cabinet was able to enter the cabinet, thanks to his husband's efforts to reject public opinions."
this is true. Since Emperor Yuanyou announced a new and old candidate for the cabinet, the wave of officials who originally opposed the New deal have submitted letters against he Qingxian, and even officials who have always been neutral have written against him, and all these have been suppressed by Chen Tingjian.
he Qingxian glanced faintly at Chen Tingjian and said unkindly, "it's not that the emperor or his empress wants to use his courtiers, how can he think of them"
Emperor Yuanyou's eyes flashed across a touch of embarrassment.
Chen Tingjian didn't care about this. When the monarch and minister had had enough pleasantries, he raised the topic to the New deal: "your Majesty and Empress, it is already Winter Moon, and you will have more than a month to go on annual leave. I wonder if the Emperor and Empress think it is feasible for the" Qingzhang regulations "drafted by the cabinet earlier."
Empress Dowager Qi looked at he Qingxian: "he GE has just joined the cabinet. Have you seen the Qingzhang regulations"
he Qingxian said, "Hui Niang, Chen GE has attached a copy of his letter to his minister, but he thinks that this regulation is inappropriate."
Empress Dowager Qi motioned to Emperor Yuanyou to sit down and asked modestly, "Please also ask he GE to elaborate."
he Qingxian raised his head and held his head high and said, "when Taizu founded the country, he ordered the whole country to clear its fields. At that time, it was calculated that there were 8.12 million hectares of land in the country. According to theory, as the people opened up wasteland year after year, there should be more and more fields in the country. There are fewer and fewer tax books that can be turned over for more than 200 years. If my minister remembered correctly, there were only 4.67 million hectares of land registered in the whole country last year."
Emperor Yuanyou clenched his fist secretly, and what was less was his land!
Chen Tingjian said, "that's why we have to clear the land again, let the powerful officials and gentry spit out the fields that have been concealed, register and pay taxes as usual."
he Qingxian: "but the fields they concealed include those that have not been concealed, and they are also acquired from the hands of the common people.What is the reason for the court's calculation that their annexed fields are also in line with the law" In my opinion, all annexed lands should be confiscated and returned to the people in strict accordance with the law of our court, and those who refuse to return them, regardless of patriarchal clans and gentry, should be cut off! "
Chen Tingjian: "to put it simply, the officials and gentry in the world do not know how many people have annexed the land. The imperial court should not only use these officials to clear the land, but also confiscate their land. Which official will do it" When you are an official in the world, are you as clean as you are "
he Qingxian: "corrupt officials are connived at step by step. The court should have strictly punished corrupt officials in accordance with the laws of the ancestral dynasty. If they are greedy and kill each other, naturally no one dares to be greedy again."
Chen Tingjian: "you killed them all. Who works for the imperial court" Who dares to be an official at this time There are no officials. who do you rely on to enforce the law "antang's Shenwei lie water gun unexpectedly turned in a direction that was difficult for ordinary people to tell, and went straight to Chen Jingzong.the competition, of course, can't hurt people's liv...
