On this day, in the capital, inside the imperial city.
Because there is no morning court.
Wei Yunyi slept until noon before walking out of the Queen's Kunshou Palace, feeling refreshed.
However, maybe it was because I was too busy last night.
The queen was still sleeping soundly.
I couldn't even eat the lunch that he made himself, which made me feel a little regretful.
Of course, this did not affect his happy mood.
In fact.
Wei Yunyi has been very happy during this period of time.
It’s not just because the Dahuan Pill is about to be successfully refined.
More importantly, through memorials, he was able to understand the situation in Longyang Prefecture.
As expected, my father-in-law's implementation of the land-based tax system was met with a lot of opposition.
Memorials impeaching each other were submitted almost every day, and they were never the same.
Although a large part of them were presented by the new prefect Wang Shouyuan.
However, other officials also submitted memorials.
It is obvious that anyone who submits such a memorial undoubtedly represents the interests of the gentry.
But the more this happened, the happier Wei Yunyi became.
Because I want the nobles to oppose me, it would be best if they fight back!
Otherwise, how can you ruin your luck?
More importantly, someone came to report yesterday that another batch of memorials had arrived in Longyang Prefecture, and it seemed that one of them was from Song Gongwen.
Therefore, after getting up and leaving Kunshou Palace, he rushed directly to Concubine Ying's bedroom. At this moment, Wei Yunyi couldn't wait to hear the good news that the reform had failed and his father-in-law had apologized.
...
Inside Jingde Palace.
The palace maid Cuiguo brought a bowl of ginseng soup.
Glancing at the pile of memorials on the table, he couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, the memorials have been piling up more and more recently. If this continues, you won't have time to rest."
Zhao Lingying raised her head and smiled, "It is my duty to share your majesty's worries."
After saying that, he took the ginseng soup and took a sip.
Although the time for rest is getting less and less.
But she has martial arts skills.
Even if it doubles, it’s nothing.
It just takes a little more effort to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, are there any memorials related to Longyang Prefecture?"
Cuiguo is not only a personal maid.
She was also the only palace maid in Jingde Palace who knew about reviewing memorials, so Zhao Lingying would certainly not hide anything from her.
"That's right." Zhao Lingying nodded and continued, "Especially the memorials that have just arrived. In addition to opposing the land tax system, some are also criticizing Song Gongwen."
"I think the court's implementation of the land-based tax system has not only messed up the entire Longyang Prefecture, but has also affected all of Jiangnan."
"Ah? Such a big fuss?" Cui Guo exclaimed beside him, "Will this reform be very difficult to carry out?"
After all, he came from the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, so he still has some vision and understanding of the situation.
As soon as you hear it, you can roughly guess what is going on.
And she knew it very well.
My queen really hopes that the implementation of the land-based tax system will be successful and bring benefits to the people.
Even His Majesty has been paying close attention, coming here every day these past few days, but now, the situation has become like this...
"I don't think so."
Zhao Lingying smiled mysteriously, looking relaxed.
Because today, she also received a memorial from Song Gongwen.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Just at this moment, the eunuch's voice was heard outside.
Hearing this, Zhao Lingying's eyes lit up immediately, and then she said, "Quick, go greet His Majesty. I have to find a way to give His Majesty a surprise and make him happy."
Surprise? What surprise?
Is it also a surprise that the land tax cannot be implemented?
Cuiguo was confused, but had no choice but to follow and greet them.
"Your Majesty."
In the courtyard of Jingde Palace, Zhao Lingying led the palace maids and bowed to greet them.
"Please stand up, my beloved concubine." Wei Yunyi smiled and walked into the bedroom, saying, "I heard that another batch of memorials arrived at Longyang Mansion yesterday?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. However, it's not just Longyang Prefecture. There are more and more memorials coming from all over Jiangnan." Zhao Lingying said as she followed behind him.
Oh? Even the whole Jiangnan region submitted petitions?
It must be because of the land tax.
There are many aristocratic families in Jiangnan, and now that their interests are about to be damaged, they naturally will not sit idly by.
Soon, everyone walked into the bedroom, and Wei Yunyi took a quick look.
Then he saw the pile of memorials on the table.
Much more than in the previous few days.
It seems that the situation is better than expected.
"My beloved concubine has worked so hard." Seeing this, Wei Yunyi turned around and held the other person's hand.
With so many memorials, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to read much of them even in a whole day. If it were me, I would definitely go on strike.
Therefore, in order to prevent Concubine Ying from getting bored, he continued to take charge of the memorials.
Of course, we must not miss the good words that should be said.
"Your Majesty, this is what I must do." Zhao Lingying blushed slightly, lowered her head, and continued, "However, I have some bad news to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh? What bad news? Is it about the tax rate based on land use?" Wei Yunyi was delighted when he heard this.
What he likes most now is bad news.
The worse the better!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Lingying bowed slightly, then said, "Not only that, but people from all over the country have begun to report that Song Gongwen abused his power. His words were very serious, his methods were too harsh, and he even set up a private punishment hall."
"There's also a memorial from Wang Shouyuan, the prefect of Longyang, accusing Song Gongwen of imprisonment in Daxing, where he's locked up a whole bunch of people."
