When several people heard Li Hong's remarks, they smiled noncommittally, and then became worried. Fortunately, what happened in the next few days was what he, the emperor, should face, as a minister and brother. Even if they want to help resist, it will be difficult for them. They are not even qualified to help His Majesty resist.
But the next few people, led by Li Xian, King of Pei, Li Zhe, King of Ying, and Li Dan, King of Yin, plus Xu Yanbo, the imperial wine minister, and Heng Yanfan, the Minister of Household Affairs, suddenly left their seats and stood up to salute Li Hong. .
Then the five of them all took out a document from their arms and handed it to King Li Dan of Yin. Li Dan held the document and handed it to Li Hong, who looked a little curious.
"What do you mean? Forced into the palace?" Li Hong knocked on the table, indicating to Li Dan to put down the documents, and then he started to read through it.
"How dare you? I'm not impatient anymore." Li Dan put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "We took a breath and finally gave Hengyan the list of people who need to be registered. It's done, and everyone in the house has inquired one by one. Those who are willing to stay will stay, and those who are not willing to stay will be given the household registration and original land registration as soon as Mr. Hengda gives them the household registration. You can go back to your hometown without any hindrance.”
Then Li Zhe continued: "But unfortunately, there are not many people who are willing to leave. Even if most of the slaves have obtained household registration and land registration, or there is no one at home, they don't know where to go. Even after they go out, I don’t know how to live, and I don’t dare to interact with others, so I start living alone, so in the end I am unwilling to leave. Of course, those who are willing to leave will not express their opinions quickly. At least some people will still act like they are reluctant to leave. , after all, they are a minority, and they have parents and relatives still alive at home, or they are slaves together, and they are willing to start a new life. "
"Some people's origins are not here, or even thousands of miles away. They want to leave but dare not leave. I can't believe that they will become a part of our people in the Tang Dynasty and have household registration and land. There are even some people They will be worried that even if they get their household registration and land and return to their place of origin, the local government will treat them... "Li Xian said the word "human" very seriously, and this was not the case in his house. What a few limited slaves said was the feedback he got after asking slaves from other families.
"Does this have something to do with me?" Li Hong flipped through the documents and couldn't tell that Li Dan, the fat man's family, had the most slaves among the three, but he still had the fewest people to leave.
"This..." Several people looked at each other, wondering what Li Hong meant by this sentence.
"After the Three-Province System Decree, if the local government cannot do it, it is the responsibility of the local government, the Taoist Censor, the Dali Temple and the Six Ministries. As an emperor, do I have nothing to worry about these little things every day?" Li Hong raised his chin, He looked at Heng Yanfan and said.
"This..." Heng Yanfan looked ugly. When he heard His Majesty's first words, he had already expected it. Your Majesty always decides the direction and then leaves it to his ministers to take care of it. He rarely does it himself.
Although this is also a way to win over courtiers and give them trust, after using this method too many times, especially when the errands given by His Majesty are often quite difficult, the courtiers always feel that this is not the right thing to do. Your Majesty's trust is just to put them on the fire and grill them.
"Yes, I will live up to His Majesty's Sacred Heart and handle this matter properly." Even if Heng Yanfan wanted to say something, he couldn't say anything. Who knows that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and this is his This is Shangshu's job.
"Then this is your statement?" Li Hong picked up the document in his hand and waved it in front of several people and asked.
"Yes, Brother Huang, I can guarantee that before the five of us, no one has ever supported you so clearly. So, all in all, the five of us are the first ones to stand up and support you immediately. And When we came here, we had already revealed our rights and supported your slavery reform, brother Huang, so... do you think you would reward a few of us?" Li Dan looked at Li Hong's leisurely and contented look, and immediately started to ask for benefits with a smile.
Recently, his own workshop in Taiyi City has been severely short of money. Bai Chun, who used to ask for money and people at any time, is not as happy as before because of his mother's will, so he can't wait to part with a penny. Li Dan, who grew up in two and a half, is now almost dying of poverty.
Moreover, there are many slaves in his house. I thought that through slavery, most of them can leave, which can also save a lot of expenses. Who knows that there are only a few people who are willing to leave. Li Dan suddenly lost his confidence in saving money, and now he had no choice but to shamelessly ask Li Hong for money.
"Reward?" Li Hong looked at even Heng Yanfan with a look of hope on his face, chuckled and said, "Okay, no problem. So be it, the decree on slavery reform, what you just said is clear and logical, And also pointed out the shortcomings, so it is up to you to improve the law and supervise the implementation of the law and the process of slavery reform. Yes, there is no need to look at each other, just the five of you, as for Dali Temple and Yushitai. , Including how many people there are from the Imperial College or the Hongwen Hall, you can communicate with them yourself. Of course, if it doesn't work, come to me again and I will make the decision for you. "
"This...is this considered a reward?" Li Dan's eyes almost fell to the ground at Li Hong's decision. He was here to ask for money, not power. How could this be possible? My brother is squeezing me so much that I have almost no time for myself. If I take over this revision law again, I will really have no private time.
"What? Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, are you just talking about it?" Li Hongzheng was worried about finding those people to revise the law. Since someone bumped into him, there was no need to be polite, right
Xu Yanbo also had a grimace on his face. He looked at the people on the left and right with some embarrassment, and then looked at Li Hong pleadingly. But before he could speak, Li Hong said in vain: "The students and gentlemen in the Imperial College should It will be easier to understand how to improve the laws, not to mention that in recent years, the loopholes in the laws of the Tang Dynasty have been filled by your Imperial College, Chongwen Hall, etc., so you have no reason to refuse, right? "
"Yes, what your Majesty said is true, I did not refuse. It's just... just..." Xu Yanbo looked around again with some embarrassment, hesitating and hesitated: "Your Majesty, can you let me report to you alone..." "
"Let's talk about it here. There are no outsiders. What secrets can your Imperial College have?"
"No, it's... it's my family matter." Xu Yanbo's face began to look awkward and he said helplessly.
The smile on Li Hong's face grew wider. Although he didn't completely guess it, he guessed it somewhat. He couldn't help but think of what Heng Yanfan told him a few days ago that Xu Yanbo was henpecked.
"Which minister can have family matters in front of me? Let's talk about it here, now. Do you want to hear it?" Li Hong asked, looking at Li Dan and other princes who nodded and pecked at the rice.
Heng Yanfan, on the other hand, looked very understanding. He knew what Xu Yanbo was going to say without even guessing. Today, he was forced to put himself on the shelf. Without consulting the county owner Li Chuyuan, he secretly agreed to slavery and dedicated his home to him. List of slaves.
Since a military order has been issued in front of His Majesty, Xu Yanbo must execute it after he returns. However, the county owner Li Chuyuan is not someone to be trifled with. He is one of the few royal relatives who can enter and exit the palace at any time, not to mention the presence of old King Ji. With support behind him, even if Xu Yanbo had the courage, he would not dare to confront Li Chuyuan.
Therefore, Xu Yanbo, who was in a state of distress and embarrassment at this time, knew without guessing that this guy wanted His Majesty to come forward to resolve family conflicts for him, and to challenge him with Li Chuyuan.
"I have no control over this matter. This is really your family matter. You can handle it yourself." Li Hong pushed 625 and said extremely irresponsibly.
After learning the truth, Li Dan, Li Zhe, and even Li Xian all started laughing, gasping and making fun of Xu Yanbo.
After everyone knew about his predicament, Xu Yanbo's face became even more embarrassed, and he blushed with embarrassment. There was no one in front of him that he could offend, and the only one he could offend was Heng Yanfan.
But Heng Yanfan had just made a move and told him the reasons for his henpeck and embarrassment. Now it was impossible to win back the victory immediately, so he had to continue to look at Li Hong for help and said: "Your Majesty, today is a good day for the county. The Lord Li Chuyuan is also in the palace, and I heard that she is here to visit the Queen Mother, so I ask your Majesty to help me overcome this difficult situation no matter what."
Xu Yanbo couldn't imagine what kind of personal harm Li Chuyuan would cause to him after going crazy. After experiencing it once, he definitely didn't want to experience it a second time.
Moreover, this is also the tragedy of being a consort of a royal family. Compared with the powerful princess, princess and county lord, a consort must have the habit of being afraid of his wife. Otherwise, he will still be the one who suffers in the end.
"Why did she come to the palace? Didn't she just come here a few days ago?" Although Li Hong is not afraid of Li Chuyuan, he also knows that after getting married, Li Chunyuan and Girls' Generation are completely different. To describe it as a tigress is absolutely inappropriate. Too much.
"I don't know either. I met him when I entered the palace and I only found out after asking him by the way." Xu Yanbo looked at the only life-saving straw in front of him. At this time, the only one who could save him was His Majesty.
"Then does she know that you... handed over the list of slaves and maids in the house and the fields you owned to the court?" Li Hong asked a little cautiously this time.
After all, he was a little afraid. Did Li Chuyuan already know about it, so she chose this time to enter the palace to seek justice from her mother later? After all, his mother didn't support him on this matter, at least she wasn't very keen on reforming the company.
"It seems... I seem to know." Xu Yanbo said in awe. Now he was standing next to a cliff. Whether he survived or died without a burial, it all depended on His Majesty's thoughts.
