Chapter 107

In the study of the palace.

Zhao Yuanjin and a number of cabinet confidants were present. A fist sized polygonal gold crystal was placed on the desk. A soft light was transmitted from the crystal body, forming a four-dimensional image above.

The image shows the scene of Qin Feng breaking into the imperial city of the Qi Dynasty alone, with high quality and fine details. Looking at that dense and dark cloud like elite Yu Lin Wei was slaughtered without any resistance in front of the terrible immortal weapon. All the people present were pale.

Riding alone can easily fight against thousands of troops. Even in the Imperial City, which is a key place in the world, it can be as if there is no one there. Many master level masters join forces to attack, but he can't even touch the corner of his clothes.

At the end of the image is the moment when Qin Feng rushes through layers of interception and kills the emperor of Qi.

At this point, no one knows the process of the duel. However, from the result of the return of the national master safely, the emperor's defeat is a certain fact, which can be fully confirmed by the news from other channels.

The first assistant sun Xiangqing looked at the silent Zhao Yuanjin on the throne and turned to ask the Ministers sitting below: "what do you think?"

There was silence in the study.

At the moment, all the people present are the great figures in the core power circle of Chu state, including seven cabinet ministers including sun Xiangqing and Su mu, four generals with heavy arms such as Ling Yuanqing and song Wu, and Zhao Feng, who is in charge of the intelligence and espionage system. They are also members of the king of Chu.

Su Mu sighed and said: "although Qi's national fortune is declining, the imperial city's guard force is still strong. The elite and skillful Yu Lin Wei is well known in the world. There are many masters at the level of masters, but they are helpless to master shangguoshi's means. Do you understand what this means? "

Sun Xiangqing coldly glanced at the silent people and raised his tone: "if the national master applies the same method to us, the court of the state of Chu will be completely finished by dawn tomorrow! No one can save it! "

It's hard to see the extreme in the faces of all the ministers. In fact, we all understand this cruel fact. However, it's more intuitive to feel the truth from the mouth of Shoufu.

Song Wu's face was angry, as if he wanted to argue. His lips moved, and finally he sighed.

Qin Feng specially gave this strange thing of immortal family to the king, and the king showed it to the public. His intention is not to be known.

In recent days, there have been many voices in the court questioning the national master, especially those young Confucian scholars and civil servants who were quite critical of Qin Feng's detached position in the imperial court and the many privileges he enjoyed. He thinks that his existence endangers the stability of the monarchy and is not a blessing of the state.

Some radical officials have even begun to secretly persuade important ministers in the cabinet, or report to Zhao Yuanjin about Qin Feng's accusations. They have made a series of attempts to overthrow the national master.

Of course, the high sounding reasons such as loyalty to the monarch and patriotism and safeguarding the majesty of the monarch are just excuses, but the real reasons are not on the table.

A few days ago, the king of Chu had decided to follow the previous dynasty's system and reopen the imperial examination. Scholars and scholars from all over the country could apply for the examination, and the court would choose the best.

The only difference is that the selected Jinshi have to serve as civil servants in the county, starting at the grass-roots level, and can be promoted gradually based on their political achievements after three years.

The rules of the former dynasty, after winning the Jinshi, was the beginning of seven grades. In a few years' time, he could be the governor of a county in the local government. He could be respected and used by himself. After more than ten or twenty years, he was expected to enter the central government, which can be described as extremely preferential treatment.

The problem is that these Confucian scholars have been studying the classics of sages and sages all the year round. They know nothing about the hardships of the people and the social conditions at the grass-roots level. They are not diligent in their bodies and do not argue with their grain. They know nothing about it. But they are going to be their parents. What good results can be achieved?

The system of conferring officials is one of the key reasons for the bad administration of officials in the former dynasty, the officials did not pay attention to the situation of the people, and the court was in serious opposition to the people. Therefore, when Zhao Yuanjin mentioned this matter, Qin Feng gave his own opinion: we must not be too used to this group of civil servants.

In the main world, it is a consensus that officials should start from the grass-roots level. Even the top leaders of China were promoted from village cadres. They were good at transplanting rice seedlings, collecting grain and carrying bags with the poor people. What are the exceptions to these scholars?

Zhao Yuanjin deeply believed that even if it was carried out according to the law, it would have offended the whole scholar class. Those guys didn't dare to target the king of Chu, so they targeted Qin Feng.

Another thing that offended people was Qin Feng's system of paying taxes to the imperial court instead of tax-free and tax-free privileges. In short, it was the system of officials and landlords, and scholars with high reputation no longer had the privilege of tax-free and tax exemption, so they had to pay taxes to the court.

The tax object of the government is the common people. How much profit can the common people have? Of course, it is the upper class who have the most wealth in society, but they do not have to pay any taxes. In the long run, it is not a blessing for the state.

Some experts have argued that if these systems can be implemented in place, it is not a problem to extend the life of the dynasty for a hundred years. Of course, the voice of opposition must exist. When Emperor Yongzheng carried out this system, the public and the government were in a fierce mood. He was scolded as a dog by the censor's speech officers. After his death, he was also blackened into a tyrant.Zhao Yuanjin was not stupid. He immediately understood the advantages of this national policy and decided to implement it in the whole country after several weighing. It is absolutely impossible for the gentry whose interests have been damaged to accept it. They must do everything possible to obstruct their opposition.

With these two points, if Qin Feng and others have completely offended the ownership class in Jiangnan area. Almost overnight, he became a super villain in the eyes of all officials, a demon who brought disaster to the country and the people. He was the number one traitor who would kill the country and the people.

Sun Xiangqing's eyes were swept one by one on the faces of the crowd, and his voice became colder and colder: "the national master has said that it doesn't matter how people talk about him, but in the imperial court, he doesn't want some officials to continue to live. So You all know what to do. "

"Take care of the people under your command, and don't let them challenge the dignity of the national master again, or no one can afford the price. Do you understand? "

"The chief assistant said so."

No matter what kind of thoughts the ministers had in mind, they could only open their mouths and echo.

Zhao Yuanjin, who kept silent all the time, finally said: "since all the ministers have reached a consensus, now let the forbidden army go out and arrest all the officials who make trouble and put them in prison and let them be dealt with by the national master."

The ministers should be again.

"An enemy who cannot be defeated is a friend."

No matter whether the cabinet officials are willing or not, in the face of an existence that can not be confronted at all, they can only make friends with them. This is the most pragmatic and wise way. Because of the consequences of angering Qin Feng, none of the people present could afford it.

That night, hundreds of officials were robbed and arrested by Ju clan.

The residence of the national master.

Qin Feng did not have any special reaction after learning about this, but said lightly: "the king of Chu's practice is still quite wise."

“…… My Lord, what should we do with these people? " Zhu Yuntai inquired.

"What else can I do? Of course, all of them will be executed, and none of them will be spared. " Qin Feng Road.

"But it may be bad for the reputation of the Lord." Zhu Yuntai has some worries.

"What do I want fame for?"

Qin Feng disapproved and said, "even if you forgive them, do you think these guys will appreciate it? They will only continue to jump up and down and try to knock me down. It's better to give them a good time

In the face of absolute strength, the so-called public opinion of the government and the people's minds of scholars is a joke. Do you dare to be convinced? Do you really think the guy in my hand is a decoration?

If you kill all the officials who dare to make trouble, the rest will be honest.

Anyway, there are so many people who want to be officials in the world, like leeks in the field. They cut one stubble after another. Wu Zetian's and Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthless practice of killing one after another did not lead to the collapse of the imperial court in the end, and those who were willing to become officials still flocked to them.

Therefore, Qin Feng didn't worry about this problem. He would rather be a villain that everyone yelled at him, rather than a moral whore or a Notre Dame party who could not fight back or scold.
