Chapter 181: Uphold the law of the country and kill Ouyang Lun!(1/2)
Chapter 181 To uphold the law of the country, kill Ouyang Lun!
Ouyang Lun stood stunned on the spot.
Snapped!
The folding fan in his hand fell to the ground.
Many officials at the rear were even more stunned.
"See His Highness Taisun."
Ouyang Lun and other officials quickly saluted.
"My uncle is so happy that he actually has time to visit the cargo ship at this pier."
Zhu Yunzhen's eyes swept over him with a smile, and then looked at the officials behind him and said: "You all have a lot of leisure, you are all here to play."
Ouyang Lun was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly: "The weather is nice today, so I will come to this pier for a walk."
"Ah...yes, yes!"
Even the prince-in-law was executed, but no one dared to pay taxes?
"You...you want to see the princess, you...you want to see your majesty."
Wrong.
Ouyang Lun struggled desperately, but in vain.
Zhu Yunzhen's eyes moved to the officials in front and asked: "They all have shares in the cargo business under the ship, right?"
thump!
"It was approved by the Ministry of Household Affairs." Huang Yingxue said: "Since ancient times, it has never been heard of the royal family doing some business and having to pay taxes."
Zhu Yunzhen smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely clear your name. As long as my uncle shows you the tax certificate for the goods and the tax payable certificate, your innocence will be self-evident."
"It is necessary!" Zhu Yunxuan ordered: "Just commit suicide on the Yangtze River."
Huang Yingxuan looked at me.
The dignified Prince Consort, the Commander-in-Chief, was executed like that?
All the officials looked frightened.
"Now, it's their turn."
That is a naked respect for the tax laws established by oneself.
Ouyang Lun walked over anxiously, bent down and said loudly: "In the Taisun Palace, his aunt talks about him every day, saying that you will be naughty in the future, and she will act coquettishly and beg for a hug when she sees you, and the whole family will be happy."
"Yes!" Huang Yingxue said: "You are convinced!"
If you just take off your body, you will be bitten to death.
Next to him, Xu Miaojin shouted loudly: "He must not listen to us. If Ouyang Lun is handed over to Your Majesty, it will be embarrassing for Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty Taisun, it is absolutely true. After all, I am the husband of Princess Anqing. If I execute the Prince Consort, your Majesty will definitely be furious."
…
All the officials agreed.
My voice became softer and softer, as if I was aggrieved and arrogant.
With Lao Zhu's character, he would probably let Huang Yingxue go.
"According to the law - execution!"
"He...he...he can kill you!" I exclaimed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely refuse, has he considered the consequences?"
"This is how you farm, and how you should do business."
"It's just that Taisun's new policy is to treat everyone equally."
Zhu Yunzhen snorted warmly and said: "The inspection of the City Shipping Department is only a fourth-grade official, and he knows that law enforcement is ruthless and the iron face has personal interests."
"Ah, yes, yes!"
"In the Taisun Palace, there have been excessive levies and excessive extortion. Although this is a long-term policy, I still hope that the Palace will continue to do good things."
My face suddenly sank.
"I thought he was my aunt's husband, so I left his body intact."
All they had to do was hold their heads high and bend down, keeping silent.
"Yes!" Ouyang Lun screamed.
"oh!"
Based on our relationship as husband and wife, if the princess knew about it, she would definitely plead hard for me.
thump!
Before his voice fell, he was already captured by two guards in golden robes.
Although killing Ouyang Lun might leave an impression on Lao Zhu that he was out of love for his family, the greater of the two evils should be considered.
What's more, your Majesty isn't here yet.
What's more, the current implementation of commercial tax also requires killing the chicken and respecting the monkey.
"Now that he is the grandson, he is busy with state affairs and has no time to reunite with his family. You always think about retreating from the palace to visit the grandson in the palace."
Gradually there was movement.
The imperial court did not yet have a four-discuss system, where relatives and nobles were discussed, and there was no privilege to reduce punishments.
All the officials responded in unison.
"It is unreasonable for Taisun's Palace to levy an additional commercial tax to solve the financial problems of the imperial court. However, this matter should be compared with the land tax. All relatives of the emperor, noble ministers, officials of the imperial court, and scholars without merit should be levied.
All taxes are exempted.”
"On one side is my son-in-law, and on the other side is Xiao Ming's national law. How should your majesty deal with it?"
The princess is not here yet, so I must be in danger.
"How fast." Ouyang Lun stopped him, looked at Huang Ying and said, "Does Taisun Palace really care about the Tian family's face and family ties?"
"With such a small amount of goods, do you have to pay a penny in tax?"
Zhu Yunxuan asked: "What? Does my uncle think that I am not qualified to see your old man's tax certificate and tax payment receipt?"
Zhu Yunxuan nodded heavily.
thump!
Zhu Yunxuan sighed: "It's too late!"
"Is he convinced?"
But it was Liu Zhixiang, the general judge of Yingtian Mansion, who knelt down.
Ouyang Lun was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Guchang finally gave him a chance to complain to the Lord of Hell."
"Your Majesty, Taisun, the taxation of the emperor's relatives has not been done for eternity and should be abolished."
"Bad! Very bad!" Zhu Yunzhen nodded and asked Ouyang Lun: "He just said that the inspection of the Municipal Shipping Department was sunk in the Yangtze River?"
Zhu Yunxuan responded and said: "I heard someone accuse me of colluding with court officials, not applying for tax certificates, smuggling goods, and evading taxes."
We dare to admit it in front of Ouyang Lun.
Zhu Yunzhen smiled and reached out to take the paper from my hand.
After a while, a woman who looked like a servant took some pieces of paper and handed them over.
All the officials spoke out one after another.
thump!
I glanced around and saw that it was indeed a tax certificate issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"Your Majesty Taisun, please spare my life!"
I spoke loudly and said: "The prince-in-law Ouyang Lun evades huge amounts of taxes, kills court officials without permission, and regards the laws of the country as if they are nothing."
"I thought that my uncle could not be such a person. Someone must have maliciously slandered me, spread rumors and caused trouble, and slandered my uncle's reputation."
Liu Zhixiang said with almost snot and tears: "Even if he needs to be punished, he should be handed over to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to punish him."
That may often be what officials want to achieve.
Only by severely punishing Ouyang Lun could the imperial court collect commercial taxes and clear the obstacles.
"Even if you are a commoner, as long as you obtain a meritorious service, the head of a family will not be exempted from the land tax, corvee service."
I waved my hand, and two guards in royal robes escorted Ouyang Lun, dragged him to the water's edge, and pushed his head into the river.
Zhu Yunzhen just looked at me warmly and said: "So, he is convinced?"
