People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 485

Standing in the nave, everyone's eyes fell on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at Duan Baoxuan, cupped his hands and said: "The governor, I want to stabilize the hearts of Muzhou. The other two, my subordinates think, the most thorough way is to capture the empress alive, or take her head and parade it in the street. In this way, the people yearn for heaven." Only the heart of Yin religion will be completely cut off."

Everyone's breathing suddenly stagnated to an incomparably slight level.

Duan Baoxuan shook his head lightly, waved his hands directly and said: "It's still early, let's talk about the method that can be implemented now."

"Here!" Li Xuan stood up straight, looked at Duan Baoxuan, and said, "Since we can't catch the empress, then find out the backbone of the Tianyin Sect hidden in the city one by one, and then kill them thoroughly."

kill.

After winning people's hearts, they will use killing methods to frighten people's hearts.

Sophisticated.

All the officials present bowed their heads slightly.

Seeing that other people were listening to him seriously, Li Xuan continued: "Twenty years ago, the rebellion was suppressed once, but within a few years, the rebellion resurfaced again, so, my subordinates speculate that in this Among the people of Muzhou, there must be a group of secret backbones that are rarely known even among the rebels. Once the Tianyin Sect is wiped out, these people will hide, and after a few years, they will reappear and rebuild the bandits. "

Yinzong, this is called Yinzong in Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Confucianism.

Only responsible for the inheritance of the sect, regardless of the life and death of the sect.

Duan Baoxuan raised his head lightly, glanced at Li Xuan, then looked at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "The Tianyin Sect will definitely be completely wiped out, and these people who are hiding now must also be completely eliminated."

Everyone at the scene immediately felt palpitations in their hearts, and immediately clapped their hands in agreement: "That's true, the Tianyin Rebellion will definitely be completely wiped out."

Duan Baoxuan nodded slightly, then looked at Li Xuan again, signaling him to continue.

"As long as these people can be killed, even if there is no queen's head, the local people will know that the apostasy will not come back like it has been in the past 20 years, and they will naturally give up... Of course, it is best to get The queen's head."

Li Xuan paused for a moment, glanced at Huai Jin, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and then said respectfully: "Now Muzhou will be completely peaceful."

"Lieutenant Huai, for the sake of the overall situation, you have a heavy responsibility!" Before Duan Baoxuan finished speaking, Huai Jin felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly became heavier.

How could he still fail to see now that Duan Baoxuan was fighting with Nanchang King inside and out to suppress him.

At this time, Huai Jin really regretted provoking Li Xuan so directly in the first place.

If he slowed down a little bit, he wouldn't be beaten by Li Xuanming directly and indirectly.

The most important thing is that he now feels that Li Xuan is really capable and capable, he is very difficult to deal with, and he still holds grudges.

"As long as people's delusions about rebellion are completely eradicated, Muzhou will no longer become a hidden danger in the court in the future." Li Xuan cupped his hands with sincere eyes.

"But if there is evidence, the king of Nanchang can kill first and then play." Duan Baoxuan directly gave Li Xuan the right to kill the remnants of Tianyin Sect.

"Thank you, Commander!" Li Xuan bowed his hands respectfully, and then continued: "The next thing I want to talk about is the third party."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan's face turned completely cold. He turned sideways, looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "The Muzhou Rebellion, the Tianyin Sect is just an external cause, the real problem lies in the internal cause."

internal cause.

With just two words, everyone present focused their attention on it, and they all wanted to hear what Li Xuan would say next.

"The real reason for the Muzhou Rebellion was taxes and loans. Excessive taxes and super-high loans made the people miserable... When there is a famine, they can't live immediately. Once the people can't live, the next Afterwards, the government forced the people to rebel."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan looked at everyone, glanced at each one, and said in a deep voice: "There is a saying in "Xunzi Ai Gong", that water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it... Back then, Wei Xiang often used this to persuade the late emperor Taizong Emperor Wen, but I am afraid that even Wei Xianghe and the first emperor never imagined that this scene actually happened in Muzhou, so if the chaos in Muzhou is to be completely put down, we need to start from the root."

"My lord is now the appeasement envoy of Muzhou, everything will be decided according to what my lord said." Duan Baoxuan seemed to have sensed something, and interrupted Li Xuan with a single sentence.

Li Xuan cupped her hands to Duan Baoxuan, and then said: "Thank you for your understanding, but there is one thing that needs to be approved by the governor himself."

"My lord, please tell me." Duan Baoxuan knew in his heart that there was some trouble, and he couldn't avoid it after all.

"Come on, bring someone up." Li Xuan turned around abruptly.

With a stern shout, four red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniuwei led two of them into the hall directly.

Seeing so many high officials, the two fell to their knees immediately.

"Xiaomin Xu Si, Yang Xunsheng, have met all the officials."

Wearing a gray cloth robe, it was Xu Si who looked clean.

His body was covered in filth, and the one with gray hair was Yang Xunsheng.

Li Xuan walked in front of the two of them, and they immediately trembled involuntarily.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you two?" Li Xuan stood sideways, but his eyes fell on Huai Jin.

His face is grim.

Huai Jin's breathing suddenly became heavy.

The incident at the city gate itself was used by Huaijin to plot against Li Xuan, but if Li Xuan really exposed this incident on the spot, perhaps in person, he would only be reprimanded by Duan Baoxuan, but there is no doubt that once When the war is over, there will be a series of memorials to him immediately.

At that time, even if he took the head of Empress Tianyin, I'm afraid he won't get much credit in the end.

With the title of Yin Qian falling on his head, even if he is not dead, it will definitely not be better than the slightest.

"Old Yang Xunsheng, who lives in Liushu Town in the east of the city, has a field of [-] mu. Because of his old age, Xu Si rented the land to cultivate. Who knows, the Tianyin Sect suddenly broke out, and the old farm was directly confiscated and then distributed. I gave it to Xu Si. The old man has repeatedly affirmed that Xu Si will return the farmland, but Xu Si just refuses, and says that he can't decide everything." Yang Xunsheng said all the things pitifully.

Li Xuan walked up to Xu Si: "Xu Si, what do you say?"

"Return...Report to Shangguan, Xu Si's land was granted by the Goddess of Tianyin. Before the Goddess speaks, this land cannot be given to others." Xu Si's words were very firm.

For an ordinary tenant like him, the field is the lifeblood, and wanting to take the field from him is the same as taking his life.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Yang Xunsheng, and asked directly: "Yang Xunsheng, I want to ask you, you said that this hundred acres of land is yours, do you have any evidence, such as a title deed, to prove this?" The field is yours?"

"Reporting to Shangguan, the land deed of the family has already been taken away by Tianyin Sect." Yang Xunsheng showed a trace of sadness on his face.

Li Xuan looked indifferent, stood beside Yang Xunsheng, and said coldly: "What I asked just now, do you have any lies?"

Immediately Yang Xunsheng bowed and said, "Don't dare to have the slightest falsehood. If there is falsehood, I am willing to be punished by the sky."

"En!" Li Xuan nodded, then walked up to Xu Si, looked at him coldly and asked: "Xu Si, I am asking you, what else do you have to hide?"

"Ah?" Xu Si frowned.

In an instant, he actually raised his head and looked at Huai Jin.

Li Xuan suddenly sneered and said: "Don't look at it, there are some things that even Captain Huai doesn't know. Come here."

Li Xuan raised her head and stopped drinking, followed by several Qianniu Weiyiwei and three old men walking in from outside.

"I've met Shangguan!" The three old men immediately fell to their knees.

When seeing these three old men, Yang Xunsheng couldn't help but turn pale.

Li Xuan walked up to the three of them, looked at them calmly, and asked directly, "Do you know the two in front?"

"I know!" Although the three of them didn't know exactly what happened, they still replied honestly: "That's Yang Xunsheng, the owner of Laoji and others who rented the land. He has [-] acres of land in Dongliushu Town. Then rent them all out.”

Five hundred acres, five hundred acres of land under the name of Yang Xunsheng, said this sentence, the faces of everyone present immediately became gloomy.

Yin Tian, ​​evading taxes, in a very short period of time, these state and county officials have put a lot of hats on Yang Xunsheng's head.

Li Xuan walked up to Yang Xunsheng, and asked coldly, "These [-] acres of land, I ask you, do you have a title deed?"

Yang Xunsheng paused, then raised his head cautiously, looked at Li Xuan and said, "These five hundred acres of land have title deeds, but all of them have been confiscated by the bandits of the Tianyin Sect, and the old man has nothing in his hand."

Li Xuan didn't care about the land deed at all. He questioned the core in one sentence: "How many permanent lands and how many sub-fields are there in this five hundred acres of land? How did they come about?"

Yang Xunsheng's face suddenly became ugly, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Among them, there are 400 mu of Yongye farmland and more than [-] mu of Koufen farmland. "

"Yonghui law, unless relocated, people's Yongye fields are not allowed to sell." Li Xuan's voice became chilling in an instant.

He patted Yang Xunsheng on the shoulder, and said word by word: "This king asks you, have all your fields been registered with the prefectural and county yamen? Sixty acres of Yongye farmland, and the rest, this king can decide to return it to you."

Yang Xunsheng's face suddenly revealed incomparable surprise. At this moment, Li Xuan said coldly: "If you lie, I will immediately drag you out and behead you."

The smile on Yang Xunsheng's face suddenly froze, and he even trembled a little.

Li Xuan's icy fingers brushed the back of his neck, and Yang Xunsheng suddenly felt a biting cold spread into his body.

"Small man... The villain has [-] Yongye Tian and [-] Koufen Tian registered with the government." After Yang Xunsheng finished speaking, he fell directly on the ground.

Li Xuan raised her brows involuntarily, looked at Duan Baoxuan above, cupped her hands and said, "This subordinate never thought that this person would evade taxes to such an extent that he would not pay any more."

"How does the King of Nanchang plan to deal with it?" Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan with a solemn expression.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said: "Since he is registered with the government, he has [-] acres of Yongye farmland and [-] acres of Koufen farmland, then the hundred acres will definitely be returned to him, but the location is at the end of the day." .”

Duan Baoxuan nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The king of Nanchang handled it properly."

"The lower official actually wants to ask, if there are other people who have registered with the government to have more than [-] mu of land, will we really return it in full as they said, or with a slight discount?"

"Since the land belongs to others, it should be fully returned." Huai Jin couldn't help jumping out at this time, stood aside and looked at Duan Baoxuan with hands folded.

Duan Baoxuan ignored him and looked at Li Xuan: "What does the King of Nanchang think?"

Li Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Captain, logically speaking, we should indeed return all of them according to the official registration."

For government registration, Li Xuan sticks to the word "government registration", so the fields that are not in the government registration will naturally not have to be returned.

There was a sneer in Huaijin's eyes, he had expected the king of Nanchang to do this.

Therefore, after entering the state city, all the yellow books of household registration were taken away immediately, and now it depends on what the king of Nanchang will do.

Li Xuan didn't mention the fact that he didn't have a yellow book of household registration at all, but continued to Duan Baoxuan: "However, before the governor arrives, those who return the land should first return those whose fields are less than [-] acres, and at the same time sort out the household registration and check the fields. ...As for those above a hundred acres?"

Li Xuan looked sideways at everyone present, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Xuan.

In this world, most people's land does not exceed a hundred mu, and those who have more than a hundred mu are the real troubles for the court.

"If he is patient, then he can wait until the new governor arrives. If he understands the hard work of the court, voluntarily reduces the land by [-]%, and can give up all the land deeds, he will return first. If he is unwilling to reduce the land, then slowly Sort it out."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, she bowed heavily.

Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan and nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The King of Nanchang has thought carefully, and the governor agrees, so let's do it this way."

"Thank you, Commander." Li Xuan took a deep breath, then stepped aside solemnly, not looking at Huai Jin.

At this time, Duan Baoxuan spoke again: "The governor will add one last sentence: Anyone whose land has not decreased but increased when the Tianyin Sect occupies the city will be re-granted on the basis of a hundred mu."

"The governor is wise!" All the people at the scene cupped their hands at the same time, their hearts filled with horror.

Duan Baoxuan is still so hot!
