Chapter 036: The Emperor

The next morning, before dawn, the ministers entered the Meridian Gate with lanterns. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao got up, and after some washing, he also drove to Huangji Gate.&1t;/p>

It's really tiring to go to court. It's okay to wake up early in the morning. If it's definitely a pain in winter, it's definitely very uncomfortable.&1t;/p>

The plan for the day is in the morning. In this era when productivity is not yet high, it is a common phenomenon for people to get up early, but it makes Zhu Youxiao, a time traveler, feel uncomfortable. It is really unhappy to be the emperor and cannot sleep in. What is even more unhappy is obviously still behind. Zhu Youxiao came to Huangji Gate and after all the officials paid homage, the Donglin Party couldn't wait to jump out.&1t;/p>

"I'm brave enough, my Majesty, who is the idea of ​​the East Factory collecting commercial taxes on past business travelers in various gates in the capital?" Yang Lian, the Saint Seiyao, jumped out and questioned Zhu Youxiao in a fierce manner.&1t;/p>

"It's my idea." Zhu Youxiao replied in a deep voice.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor. How could he do such a disaster to the country and the people? He must have been bewitched by villains. He also asked the emperor to punish villains and remove the commercial tax." Yang Lian said loudly.&1t;/p>

"Our ancestors' law has always been based on light commercial taxes and hiding wealth among the people. Please remove commercial taxes." Zuo Guangdou also came out of the list and reported.&1t;/p>

Just as Zuo Guangdou jumped out, the Donglin Party had another censor's note and reported loudly to Zhu Youxiao: "I impeached the eunuch Li Jinzhong, and there were eight crimes. One was bewitching the emperor, the second was deceiving the emperor, the third was..."&1t;/p>

One by one, the other was stools on Li Jinzhong's head. It was obvious that Li Jinzhong had become a thorn in the eyes of the Donglin Party members at this time, because Li Jinzhong was the most trusted by Zhu Youxiao and poses the greatest threat to Wang An.&1t;/p>

Wang An has been alienated by Zhu Youxiao in the palace, which makes the Donglin Party members no longer able to control the new king, so they naturally want to get Li Jinzhong away.&1t;/p>

"Ha!" Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne and couldn't help but smile. It was such a farce! His eyes swept over the officials, and the officials of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party did not dare to jump out and oppose the Donglin Party at this time. Obviously, these officials who represent the interests of the landlord class were not united enough at this time. And those neutral factions obviously did not intend to come out to argue with the Donglin Party on the issue of commercial taxation.&1t;/p>

"Since my dear friends think that business tax is a disaster to the country and the people, how should we solve the problem of the tight finances of the court?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers with a sneer and asked.&1t;/p>

"I think that our dynasty uses land tax as the basis, so we can increase our income. However, the land tax in the south is higher, the land tax in the north is too low, and the court lacks Liao tuition, so we can collect it from the northern provinces." Zhou Jiamo came out and replied.&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

"Absurd, aren't farmers the people of the court? You said you would keep rich in the people. Who will be responsible when the peasant family is destroyed? Everything is counted on my head, hum! Do you want me to be the king of the country to be destroyed?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be furious and threw a bunch of memorials directly on Zhou Jiamo's head.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty calm down." Ye Xianggao hurriedly stepped out of the line and mud, saying: "Your Majesty can be discussed again. Don't be angry with the dragon body."&1t;/p>

"Since ancient times, the people have not been worried about the lack of worries but unevenness. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty enjoyed two hundred young taxes and were stable, but they still did not want to serve the court. I just collected some commercial taxes in the capital. You just jumped up and down. Have you read the books of sages in the dog's belly?" Zhu Youxiao roared, and the suppression that had been traveling for more than half a year was all burst out at this time, pointing at a group of ministers and cursing.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, once the commercial tax is imposed, the prices will inevitably rise, and the people will live in poverty. This is not a businessman's mistake, but a commoner's mistake." The censor Fang Zhenru jumped out without fear of death at this time, and changed his concepts again, trying to confuse the public.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao, who was angry, was no longer the emperor who had just traveled through time, so he could only swallow his anger. Seeing Fang Zhenru dared to jump, he immediately reached out and shouted, "Come on, drag him down, and the court cannon is thirty."&1t;/p>

"Come on! Drag it down." Yang Guang immediately said loudly, and the Jinyiwei guards in the court immediately raised Fang Zhenru and pulled him out.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, you must not collect commercial taxes!"&1t;/p>

Fang Zhenru struggled, still shouting in his mouth, looking heroic and unyielding. As long as the emperor cannot kill him today, he will become famous all over the world. Wherever he goes in the future, which wealthy businessman will not regard him as a guest of honor?&1t;/p>

"The emperor calms down, Fang Zhenru is sincere, how can he be a court stick!"&1t;/p>

"Please calm down."&1t;/p>

A group of ministers of the Donglin Party knelt on the ground and exclaimed to calm down.&1t;/p>

The more this happens, Zhu Youxiao becomes more angry. Yang Guang secretly asked Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, is it true or false to beat the court stick?"&1t;/p>

"Battle to death." Zhu Youxiao was ruthless and ordered in a low voice.&1t;/p>

"I understand." Yang Guang then walked down the steps and followed the Jinyiwei Lishi out of the Huangji Gate Palace. The Jinyiwei Lishi put Fang Zhenru out of the court, but pressed him to the ground and stood with sticks on his left and right. Yang Guang glanced at Fang Zhenru, snorted coldly in his nose, stood in his eight-character character, and then ordered the Jinyiwei Lishi: "Catch it quickly! The emperor is still waiting!"&1t;/p>

When the Jinyiwei Lishi saw Yang Guang's standing posture, he was shocked and quickly waved his hand and said, "Execution."&1t;/p>

The stick then hit Fang Zhenru's butt, one stick heavier than the other.&1t;/p>

"Ah! Ah~!"&1t;/p>

Fang Zhenru screamed in pain, and the sound came into the hall. A group of Donglin Party officials knelt on the ground and heard it frightened. Zhu Youxiao remained silent, listening to the screams coming from outside, without any sympathy.&1t;/p>

Since ancient times, heroes violated the ban with martial arts, while Confucians used literature to disrupt the law. In the late Ming Dynasty, Confucians used literature to disrupt the law and became popular. Such literati should really be killed.&1t;/p>

Thirty sticks!&1t;/p>

Stick to meat, stick to bone.&1t;/p>

Soon Fang Zhenru was beaten to pieces with blood and blood. After the thirty sticks were over, he was knocked unconscious. Yang Guang squatted down and reached out to find his breath. He had already exhausted more and had less energy, so he probably couldn't survive. Then he would go to the hall with satisfaction and whisper to the emperor.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied after hearing the report. Today he wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and let these Donglin parties wake up.&1t;/p>

"Who else wants to revoke the merchant tax?" Zhu Youxiao asked loudly.&1t;/p>

"I am against the collection of commercial taxes." Yang Lian knelt on the ground and said loudly. Zhu Youxiao was about to order another court stick. Before he could say it, another group of Donglin Party officials knelt on the ground and shouted: "I am against the collection of commercial taxes."&1t;/p>

"I also oppose the collection of commercial taxes. If the emperor wants a court stick, please take me and others together!" Ye Xianggao also said calmly at this time.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao was choked on the spot and couldn't say a word for a while.&1t;/p>

How rich is the experience of these Donglin Party in political struggle? How could they be scared by a mere court stick?&1t;/p>

Faced with these Donglin Party’s behaviors, Zhu Youxiao really wanted to drag them all out and shoot them a hundred times. Unfortunately, Zhu Youxiao did not have enough strength to support him in doing so at this time.&1t;/p>

If Taizu had a high concentration of power and millions of troops in his hands, these civil servants would have been able to cut them all directly.&1t;/p>

However, at this time, the power of the Ming Dynasty was already very dispersed.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao could absolutely control the only two cavalry divisions of Tengxiang and Wuxiang, and 50,000 Beijing camps that had not been trained. If these Donglin Party were really sticking the court, it might not take long before it would be rebellion south of the Yangtze River.&1t;/p>

"Haha! OK, very good, all my dear friends are indeed loyal and brave." Zhu Youxiao laughed, too lazy to waste saliva with these hopeless guys, and then said coldly: "Retreat the court!"&1t;/p>

ps: Thank you for the reward from the gangster brother. This is the first brother to give me a reward. Thank you very much! I fought with someone today and I was really bullied. The author is not very good at fighting. I haven’t fought with anyone for nearly eight years. As a result, I encountered a weaker fighter. I was so arrogant. I was also drunk. There were many unexpected situations in this book. It was the first time I wrote so hard in so many years.&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
