Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 296
At the court meeting, Qingji sat high on the majesty's platform, sitting upright, listening to the ministers' report.

As the king of a country, Qingji does not have many daily government affairs to deal with.

After all, the territory of the State of Wu is not considered vast, with less than fifty counties, and it is not Qingji's turn to adjudicate matters such as criminal and prison proceedings.

For real national affairs, Qingji only needs to make his own judgment.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

Just as the officials and ministers were about to keep their mouths shut and wait for Qingji to announce his resignation from the imperial court, Dian Ke Bo Tong suddenly came out with a wat in his hand.

"please say."

Bo Tong bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, I heard something recently. The son of Wu Yu, a senior official, allowed his servants to beat a farmer to death and take his wife away!"

"Is there really such a thing?"

Qingji pretended to be surprised.

"It's true! Your Majesty can send someone to check!"

Bo Tong said solemnly: "This matter has been aroused in the Yanling area, and everyone knows about it. Wuyu wanted to protect his son, so he had a dispute with the county magistrate of Yanling, and refused to hand over the culprit. Punishment!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Wuyu for a crime of disturbing the justice of the prison, and punish the murderer severely!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji slightly nodded and said: "If this is true, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Bo Tong praised him, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that there is something about Wuyu, and the King should take it as a warning. In the past, when the King implemented the county system in our country, he said that the power of the county magistrate is greater than that of the emperor. Feng Jun can assist local government affairs, but not completely intervene in local government affairs."

"However, in the matter of Wuyu at present, the power of the emperor and the county magistrate is greater and lesser?"

After a pause, Bo Tong said again: "I have to be worried. The chaos of the monarch, who regards human life as worthless, is good for the country? Ruo Wuyu's incidents abounded in the past, and the king has to treat it with caution. "

Hearing this, Qingji nodded and asked, "What Yiqing said, what should I do as a widow?"

"Great Wang Mingjian!"

Bo Tong said loudly: "Whether it is the emperor or the county magistrate, they are all subjects of the king and are loyal to the king. However, the emperor has too much power in the local area, like this, disrupts judicial justice, and corrupts the law."

"That's why, I ask the king to change the fiefdom into a food town, so that the fiefdom will no longer have the right to recruit soldiers, tax collection, and administration, but only enjoy the tax income from his land!"

This is the rhythm of reducing the lord to a vassal!
Seeing Bo Tong talking nonsense in the court hall, bewitching Qingji, all the officials couldn't bear it.

Doctor Zhong and Yushi Zhongcheng Huyong immediately said: "Your Majesty! Absolutely not!"

"The fief of the king has existed since ancient times. It has been passed down from the ancestors, and the same community shares weal and woe. How can it be changed into a food town without authorization?"

"Exactly! The ancestor's foundation cannot be lost!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Bo Tong, who deceived the superior and inferior, and deceived the public with false rumors, so as to serve as an example to others!"

"Bo Tong is such a villain! For Bo Tong's words, the king can't believe it!"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Excited!
As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

This hatred and this hatred are inseparable!
How can all the ministers of the old clan of the Wu Kingdom tolerate Bo Tong's proposal to change the fiefdom into a food town?

All of them glared at Bo Tong, wishing they could tear Bo Tong into pieces, eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

Regarding this, Bo Tong felt helpless in his heart.

Because of his remonstrance, isn't Qingji instigating it behind the scenes?
Otherwise, with Bo Tong's smooth and smooth way of dealing with people, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing that is hated by others!

"Second and third sons are wrong!"

When Bo Tong was speechless, Zhisu Neishi Fan Li first stood up and supported Bo Tong's proposition, and said loudly: "The second and third sons kept saying that your fief is the foundation of the ancestors."

"However, how many years has your fief been passed on? How many generations have you passed on?"

"The gentleman's swamp will be exhausted in the third life, and cut in the fifth life!"

"The ancestors of the second and third sons had made great contributions to the state of Wu, so they were granted fiefdoms. It is understandable that they will not be replaced by hereditary inheritance."

"It's just the merits of the ancestors, which have benefited so many generations. Isn't it enough to repay the merits of the ancestors of the second and third sons?"

Fan Li solemnly said to Qingji: "Your Majesty, I think what the Dianke said is not unreasonable."

"The ministers of the new Jin Dynasty in my Wu State are all subject to food towns rather than fiefdoms, so the king should treat them equally. From then on, Wu State only has vassals, but no king!"

Qing Ji was noncommittal, and the expression on his face hadn't changed much.

Having been in the top position for a long time, he has already practiced a kind of kung fu of nourishing qi.

It's not a very difficult thing to accept, Qingji can keep his face.

What's more, this time, Qingji was behind it?
"Your Majesty! What Bo Tong and Fan Li said is great!"

Hu Yong couldn't bear it anymore, pointing at Fan Li and yelling: "Zhuzi! Insufficiency and strategy! My ancestors followed Taibo to overcome thorns and thorns, so he was granted the title of Zhongdoctor. He has a fief in Tong, and now you and two fellows, Zhuzi, How can you take away our ancestral foundation with just a few words?"

Hearing this, Fan Li's expression was very calm.

Fan Li smiled slightly and said, "Doctor Fox, please be safe and don't be impatient."

"Who took away your ancestral inheritance? The king? Or the next?"

"Dianke and I are just admonishing the king, changing the fiefdom to Shiyi, so as to nationalize the power and strengthen the cohesion of our country of Wu. Why not?"

Fan Li said loudly: "Does it have to be that our Wu Kingdom is like Chu Kingdom, with kings all over the country, so that when the enemy invades, we can only rush to meet the enemy?"

"The defeat of Chu State, and the victory of our Wu State are due to the differences in the military systems of the two countries."

"When the people of Chu go to war, they recruit soldiers from all over the country. Although the princes don't shirk, the recruited soldiers are old and weak, or have weapons and armor, good or bad. Is this worthy of a battle?"

After a pause, Fan Li said again: "Furthermore, the authority of conferring a monarch is really too heavy. Although your majesty has repeatedly declared and five decrees, it is best not to interfere with local government affairs, but there are How many people obey?"

"As for Wu Yu's case, anyone who commits a crime will hide in Feng Jun's fief. If Feng Jun doesn't cooperate, how will the local government apprehend the important criminal?"

"If there is a matter of tax collection, can you guarantee that the taxes you pay each time on your fief are all in full?"

"..."

Hu Yong and the others were left speechless by Fan Li.

Because this kind of thing really abounds in Wu country.

This kind of thing happened not only in Wu country, but also in every vassal state entrusted by Zhou Tianzi!
Who has no selfishness?

Such things as tax evasion and tax evasion are not uncommon, and often every monarch just turns a blind eye and closes his eyes.

Now that Fan Li has come up with such a reason, asking Qingji to change the fiefdom to Shiyi, how can the ministers of the old family of Wu state refute?

　It is a long process to change all the fiefs into Shiyi.If the children and grandchildren can't make meritorious deeds, they will have a salary to enjoy after eating, just like the Tuen Token, take your time.
