Chapter 291 A bowl of water is level
Nandun Wang Zong immediately withered, like a defeated rooster, his fighting spirit was instantly gone, and Liu Kun really wanted to slap this old guy to death. Prove that Yunfeng has the legitimacy of Haimen, and then use this to reject the candidates appointed by the court. Why did he just jump into the trap?
Xun Song connected Yunfeng's occupation of Haimen with the nobles' occupation of mountains and rivers. Although it seems to be a strong argument, it also leaves people speechless. How many people sitting in this hall have not occupied mountains and rivers? Including just now The Nandun Wang Zong who made the most noise had no right to accuse others!
Liu Kun glared at the old guy fiercely and snorted coldly: "Jing You just said before His Majesty that the royal family has no land deeds, so Houhu Lake is an ownerless land. So, does King Qin have access to Haimen?" Land deed?”
As soon as these words came out, the three masters of Wu Commandery, Sima Shao and his imperial uncles were all greatly refreshed, and their self-confidence was instantly restored!
Xunsong stroked his beard and smiled slightly and said: "Emperor Wu issued an edict specifically for Yang Taifu (Yang Hu) to establish Nancheng County in the five counties of Wuyang, Mou, Nancheng, Liangfu and Pingyang south of Mount Tai, and named him Nancheng Marquis. The Nancheng County was awarded to Grand Tutor Yang, and Emperor Xiaoyuan also set up Haimen County specifically for the King of Qin. This land deed is the official seal of Haimen County!"
Liu Kun said disdainfully: "Since you have become the King of Qin, why are you the Duke of Haimen?"
Xun Song said calmly: "The letter of the official seal of Haimen County is still in the hands of the King of Qin. Since it has not been returned, it is naturally valid."
"This...?" Liu Kun was speechless for a while. The most important thing to prove the identity of an official and powerful person is the seal. Yunfeng has the seal in his hand. This is the court's dereliction of duty. However, this is a huge mistake. loopholes.
Lu Ye then followed up and said, "Although Emperor Wu set up Nancheng County specifically for Taifu Yang, Taifu Yang refused to accept his resignation, so how can he use it as a model?"
Xun Song raised his hand and said, "Teacher Yang's noble character is admirable, but the King of Qin does not dare to compare with Taifu Yang, so how can he not accept the reward from Emperor Xiaoyuan?"
"You..." Lu Ye's face suddenly turned red and he was speechless. He had only seen today that Xun Song's cheating skills were second to none!
Suddenly, after a loud "bang!", a burst of curses came: "Bold Xunsong! No matter how you make excuses, it is an indisputable fact that Haimen is listed as a county instead of a kingdom. Since it is a county, it should be treated as such. Under the jurisdiction of the imperial court! Moreover, Wang Xizhi, the prefect of Haimen, received a batch of grain, grass and armor from the imperial court when he first took office. If it is private territory, why do you need to receive money and food from the imperial court? Humph, I think you are relying on the support of someone behind you. That’s why you are so bold that you don’t take the court seriously!”
These words came out of Sima Shao's mouth. Liu Kun, the kings of the clan, including the three heads of Wu County were all refreshed. In their view, this was Yunfeng's weakness, while Bian Yi saw it. There was a trace of worry, and he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Huan Yi. According to his understanding of Xun Song, although this old guy was not sharp, he was actually as smooth as Director Wang. How could he be refuted by Huang Xu'er in just a few words? Have nothing to say?
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Sure enough, Xun Song was not afraid of the angry Sima Shao at all, and saluted calmly: "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon to disagree with this. It is true that Wang Xizhi just went to Haimen to ask the court for something." He bought a batch of grain and grass for soldiers, but the quantity was too small. The grain and grass were only enough for three months, and the soldiers could only equip five thousand troops. After that, he never received a grain of rice or a copper coin from the court. All the supplies depended on the King of Qin. The aid, especially after defeating Gu She and Wang Dun, all the goods, ships and personnel obtained were given to Haimen. Compared with the expenses of the court, haha~~ After changing ministers, I am really shameless to mention it!
Therefore, Haimen does not rely on the court, and does not pay taxes to the court. Even the first batch of Haimen soldiers and civilians and the Haimen navy were prisoners of the King of Qin at the beginning. It can be said that in fact, it does not have much to do with the court. ,
What's more, when the King of Qin went to the capital for the first time, all the money and food he needed were provided by the imperial court. Is it possible that the imperial court could still send officials to Qin? However, if Your Majesty has other ideas, I can, on behalf of the King of Qin, allocate the imperial court to Haimen. The property will be returned in full with interest. However, this is the first time that King Qin went to the capital... Due to the large amount of money spent, I dare not make the decision. I need to ask King Qin for instructions before I can give you an answer."
What Xun Song said was both bitter and mean. If Sima Shao's anger just now was somewhat hypocritical, but at this time, he was really angry. Not only his face was swollen red, but even his eyes were filled with tears. Covered with a layer of blood! A subordinate of a small kingdom dared to answer like this to the emperor. How could the power of God exist?
Sima Shao suddenly stood up, pointed at Xun Song fiercely, and roared loudly: "You old thief! My father treated you well when he was alive, and respected you in every possible way. Unexpectedly, he passed away only three years ago, and you have forgotten all your old kindness." , he is simply a ruthless man! Someone, kick him out!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was stunned. Did the emperor curse? Did you hear it right? Some people even dug their ear holes in disbelief.
Xun Song, however, was not afraid and said with a smile: "What? Your Majesty is at a loss for words. Could it be that you are angry because of your embarrassment? I just want to discuss the matter. Please calm down and don't bring shame to Emperor Xiaoyuan (Sima Rui). In fact, your Majesty is just angry out of anger. Since I don't want the King of Qin to monopolize Haimen, this is easy to handle. I have a compromise. If your Majesty is willing to listen, I can tell you and ask your Majesty to make a decision."
"Huh?" Sima Shao was startled. Even if he was not familiar with the world, he could tell that Xun Song was giving himself a step down. To be honest, after the roar just now, he was discouraged and began to regret in his heart. After all, the emperor had to pay attention. Deportment, no matter what the reason, he shouldn't say dirty words. At the same time, Xun Song's proposal also aroused his interest. He wanted to see what Xun Song could say.
Sima Shao's anger subsided slightly, he took advantage of the opportunity to sit down and said coldly: "Speak!"
Not only Sima Shao, but other people's eyes were also full of doubts and confusion. They didn't understand why Xun Song had to make concessions when he had obviously surrendered to the King of Qin and was temporarily in the upper hand in the current battle. Only Liu Kun, A bad premonition arose in his heart. This came entirely from the spiritual perception of a top master without any reason, but under such circumstances, he could not stop Xun Song from speaking.
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, Xun Song raised his hand and said: "The focus of the dispute now is whether Haimen belongs to the King of Qin. Regarding this point, I have just said it very clearly, and there is no need to repeat it. However, the court Obviously he did not want the King of Qin to occupy Haimen, so a conflict arose. How should this be resolved?
"The Analects of Confucius" says: Qiu Ye heard that those who have a country and a family do not worry about being few but worry about inequality, do not worry about poverty but worry about insecurity, they are all free from poverty, they are harmonious and have no widows, and they are safe and secure. This is the case, so people from far away are dissatisfied. Then cultivate literature and virtue and come here, and once you come, make peace with it!
To solve this matter, the sage has already made it clear. I ask your majesty to issue an edict. All the nobles in the east of the Yangtze River will strictly follow the provisions of the "Land Occupation System" promulgated by Emperor Wu. As long as there is more than one occupied land, mountains and rivers, slaves, and guests, they will be treated as such. If it is returned to the court, if anyone fails to comply, not only will it be forcibly confiscated, but they will also be handed over to the judge for prosecution!
Only in this way can the King of Qin withdraw from Haimen. This is also the only prerequisite! The King of Qin did not deliberately embarrass the court, but a bowl of water must be leveled! Otherwise, only the King of Qin abandons Haimen, while we occupy the mountains and occupy the river without moving. Isn't it unfair? How can I convince others? Similarly, I am also willing to take the lead and withdraw from the mountains and rivers occupied by Qiantang. If your Majesty thinks it is possible, please issue an edict now!" After saying that, he bowed deeply, his attitude was extremely sincere!
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace. No one could have imagined that Xun Song would put forward such a suggestion. Although it sounds reasonable at first, is it possible? Who would take the initiative to give up and gain benefits? According to the "Land Occupation System", The first rank can only occupy fifty hectares of land, and each rank below it decreases by five hectares. As for patrons and diners, officials of sixth rank and above can shelter three people, seventh and eighth rank two people, and ninth rank and imperial guards can only shelter one person. .Finally, regarding tenants, the first and second grades can shelter fifty households, the third grade ten households, the fourth grade seven households, the fifth grade five households, the sixth grade three households, the seventh grade two households, the eighth and ninth grade one household.
