"Relief of taxes in the six counties of Yangzhou?"

Emperor Liu Bao looked at Wang Yun's visit and was considering this matter. He was actually very hesitant in his heart.

Out of the consideration of stabilizing the rule, he agreed to reduce or exempt the taxes of the six counties of Yangzhou that had just had a civil uprising, but from a financial point of view, it was actually impossible to do so.

Because Yangzhou is not the only place where there are civil uprisings, almost every state in Dahan has civil uprisings, but the scale is not as large as the Zhanghe rebels in Yangzhou.

If Yangzhou's tax reduction and exemption requirements are passed today, and other states and counties will use the excuse of needing to recuperate and recuperate after the civil uprising to ask the imperial court to reduce or exempt taxes, will the imperial court still collect taxes?What do people in the palace eat?What if the barbarians invade without military expenses?
The eunuch Zhang Fang on the side saw Emperor Liu Bao's hesitation, so he took the opportunity to say: "If only the people's rebellion can be exempted from taxes, then the unscrupulous people will be even more arrogant, and even deliberately rebel for the sake of tax exemption."

"Huh?" Emperor Liu Bao was surprised, then closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

When he was eight years old, he was abolished by his father because of the slander of Yan's relatives. When he was 11 years old, his father died suddenly. At the best time when Yan's relatives were in a hurry, the eunuchs suddenly supported him Emperor, and quickly mobilized the imperial guards to eradicate Yan's relatives.

The eunuch was kind to him, without the eunuch, he might have died in the hands of Yan's relatives today.

So shortly after he ascended the throne, he conferred the eunuchs as county marquises, which caused an uproar, and many gentry strongly opposed it, but Liu Bao ignored him and wanted the eunuchs to be conferred marquises.

In the end, Emperor Liu Bao opened his eyes, looked at Wang Yun's Shangshu again, and said calmly, "Don't worry about him."

"Your Majesty is holy." Zhongchang Zhang Fang was overjoyed. Most of the officials in Yangzhou were eunuchs' henchmen. Only a few gentry officials could make money from the six counties of Yangzhou continuing to pay taxes.

"So what about the sons of the gentry? Don't look at who the big man is now? It's our father-in-law!" Zhang Fang mocked Wang Yun, the county magistrate of Shu County, who was overconfident.

"Sooner or later, I will stand on the highest and highest place, be the tallest and tallest Zhao Gao!"

Zhong Changshi regards Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion of the Qin Dynasty, as his idol and strives for it.

"Your Majesty, the official document from the imperial court has come down, saying it is... um..." Zhou Jing, the county magistrate, came in a hurry, not daring to tell the truth directly.

"Say it, it's okay." Wang Yun is writing a book. He named the book "Six Classics". Wang Yun's thought.

"The granting of exemptions to the six counties of Yangzhou. The imperial court... um... failed." Zhou Jing, the county magistrate, stammered.

Snapped!
Wang Yun's writing brush slipped from his fingers, he stared blankly at the white paper stained with ink, and then lamented: "Water can carry a boat or capsize it. The imperial court doesn't care about the people, so how can the people keep themselves safe? Sigh..."

The big man he wants is a big man who the emperor cares about the people, the officials manage the place well, and the people keep their own place and don't rebel.

It's not that the emperor doesn't love the people, the officials only know about corruption, and the people only want to rebel, such a big man.

But he, who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, will never follow the rebels to overthrow the court even if he knows that the emperor is unwilling to show compassion for the people.

"I can plead for the people and sacrifice my life so that the people can not be exorbitantly taxed, but I will never help the rebels to overthrow the court. If there are rebels who want to rebel, I, Wang Yun, must suppress it with all my strength!"

For 400 years, the great man has raised scholars, and finally he has raised Wang Yun, a Han minister who sacrificed his life for the great man.

No matter what the emperor is or what the court is like, Wang Yun will never rebel. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are his compliments and his bottom line.

Thinking of the many people in Shu County who were hungry but still had to continue to pay taxes to the court, Wang Yun made up his mind.

"I, Wang Yun, want the emperor and the princes of the court to have a conscience!"

"Big Han, not only the common people must have a conscience, but the emperor and officials must also have a conscience!"

"The common people have no conscience to rebel, and the emperor has no conscience if he doesn't care about the people!"

Wang Yun stopped compiling the "Six Classics" and wrote "Governing the Country and the People's Strategies", in which he lashed out at the corruption and darkness of the imperial court, and hoped that the imperial court would adopt his suggestions and reform the entire imperial court.

"Your Majesty, I can't write this, in case His Majesty gets angry..." Zhou Jing, the county magistrate at the side, glanced at the contents of the "Governance of the Country and the People's Policies", and was terrified.

Too bold, too daring to write, too revealing of darkness!

Wang Yun tore off the fig leaf of the Han Dynasty court, and made a naked criticism of the fact that the eunuchs and eunuchs of the Han Dynasty since Emperor An controlled the government. At the same time, he also criticized the emperor for not practicing Confucian classics. This is to balance among eunuchs, relatives and gentry.

But when criticizing the gentry class, he hesitated.

He is also a member of the gentry, and it seems that he should not criticize the gentry.

however……

"I am for the sake of the world. If I can't keep the principles of nature and get rid of human desires myself, how can I ask others to do so?"

"The unity of knowledge and action, Wang Yangming, Wang Yangming, how can you say one thing and do another like Runan Yuan?"

Wang Yun whipped himself inwardly, and finally gritted his teeth and criticized all the noble families, including not only the super noble families such as the Runan Yuan family and the Hongnong Yang family, but even the Liaodong Wang family.

Wang Yun even criticized his own family.

He not only criticized his own family, but also incidentally criticized those people who refused to keep their own place and farm.

From the emperor to the farmer, they were all criticized by Wang Yun.

His courage is really No.1 in the world!
Dare to say what others dare not say, dare to do what others dare not do!
"You are trying to offend the people of the world!" Zhou Jing saw Wang Yun writing there, and his whole body broke out in a cold sweat.

"For the sake of the world, so what if you offend the people of the world?"

"I even have to criticize myself."

"As a disciple of a sage, I, Wang Yun, can't make the monarch wise, the officials clean, and the people keep their own place. It's my fault, Wang Yun."

Wang Yun's eyes are very firm, he has his own beliefs, he has a real scholar's character, he is no longer a young man who drank and had fun with the sons of the Yuan family in Runan and other noble families when he was young, but a man who has broken away from the lower class. Interesting, a true gentleman with a heart full of Confucius and Mencius sages.

"I didn't expect Zhou Jing to see a living saint with my own eyes in Yangzhou." The county magistrate Zhou Jing's eyes were rosy. He thought he couldn't do what Wang Yun did, but he admired Wang Yun from the bottom of his heart.

"If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening!"

"It's an honor in my life, Zhou Jing, to be able to live with you."

"Dark Lord!"

"He, Wang Yun, called me a fool!"

"Hahahaha! Well, what a magistrate of Shu County, Wang Yun and Wang Bo'an!"

Emperor Liu Bao was very angry that someone dared to write a letter saying that he was a faint king.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Zhang Fang, the permanent servant of the Central Committee, persuaded him, but he was very happy in his heart. He was already trying to find a way to make this matter worse, so that the gentry could not come down.
