With the departure of Princess Yu Chuqing, Shen Wujiu, lacquer carving Shu and min Wensheng all return to the Wenhua hall. However, they see Zhuge Xingzhi sitting on the top seat in a dazed trance. When they see this scene, they look at each other, none of them speak and return to their seats.
It's just that the cabinet, which is usually tense and busy, no longer has the sound of paper turning. All the four prime ministers are dazed at the table. Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian Dynasty, and Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess of Qian Dynasty, can see what they can see. As prime ministers of Da Qian, they can also see that the growth of local aristocratic families has threatened the ruling foundation and administrative foundation of Da Qian. In order to accumulate the national strength to initiate reform, the twenty year old of Da Qian was forced to pay taxes. However, when it came to the end, everyone felt a little uneasy.
Prime Minister Zhuge Xingzhi looks at the Palace door closed again after Yu Chuqing left. There is a trace of helplessness in his eyes. He knew very well that the eldest princess wanted to use the bad deeds of the children of the aristocratic family to make trouble. If there was any concrete evidence, she would be punished with justice. If there was no concrete evidence, she would be punished with justice, and then she would announce the world.
When Emperor Daqian founded his country, he set up three schools: County, county, and township, and set up nine university palace in Jiujing as the highest institution of Daqian. This completely broke the monopoly of the aristocratic family on knowledge for nearly a thousand years from the Dali Dynasty to the development of the Daxuan dynasty until the princes vied for supremacy. Moreover, although the land Sharing Law of emperor Taizu did not completely separate the aristocratic family from the land, it also made the land of the aristocratic family shrink again and again, and greatly reduced the population controlled by the aristocratic family. It can no longer easily pull up an army of tens of thousands of people from the family farming as before.
What the eldest princess Yu Chuqing has to do is to ruin the reputation of the aristocratic family, extort and bully the good, which is intolerable by all the people. Yu Chuqing's practice is to use the mouth of these aristocratic families to make their own family thoroughly discredited, so as to completely end the rise of the aristocratic family, and even break the backbone of the whole aristocratic family, Let the aristocratic family decline completely, and finally fall into the abyss of history.
What's more, Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess just now, has made it very clear that she doesn't care whether those evil things have anything to do with the children of these aristocratic families. As long as these people are caught back and punished by the royal secret guard, the final result can only be what she wants and what these people will say. Then the emperor approved it, and the cabinet issued an imperial edict. At that time, the aristocratic families behind these aristocratic families could not even explain clearly. The final result can only be that the princess can either knead or revolt on the spot.
However, almost all of Daqian's twelve main armies and twenty-four guards are in the hands of Duke Lu Chun, Princess Yu Chuqing and commander Lu que of Southern Xinjiang. Even now, commander Lu que of Southern Xinjiang is planning the next battle of Southern Li, and commander Lu Chun of Northern Xinjiang has not returned from the pass. But if anyone dares to jump out, he will be killed by the top ten Phoenix guards of Southern Xinjiang and Tian Huo, Pan Shi The third army of Longxiang was defeated.
Moreover, Zhuge Xingzhi can see that the eldest princess Yu Chuqing seems to have intended to use this method to force the local aristocratic families involved, and then send the army to wipe them out. It's a chill to think of Zhuge's behavior here. Because the beast tide that worries the whole people has been defeated by Lu que. According to the arrangement before Lu que, the remaining beast tide will be annihilated in Danshui.
This is a great victory that can make all the people of Daqian celebrate and enhance their morale and pride. Once the aristocratic family revolts at this time, they will not get the support of anyone. At that time, a crime of ulterior motives and conspiracy will nail these aristocratic families on the stigma of history and be despised by the people of later generations.
However, in Zhuge's opinion, such a method is not fair enough, or a bit rude and despicable. Thinking of this, Zhuge Xingzhi was even more helpless, because this method would not have been used 20 years ago by either the emperor or the princess.
But now the eldest princess is at the top of the disaster, and half of her foot has entered the highest level. In addition to her identity and the Lu family father and son standing behind her, she has no fear. And long Princess Yu Chuqing does not care what kind of reputation she will bear, she is to use absolute strength and authority to suppress the aristocratic family.
"Old prime minister, is there no other way?" Even though they were in the side hall just now, they heard the conversation between the eldest princess and Zhuge Xingzhi intermittently because of their cultivation. He and Zhuge Xingzhi hoped to solve the family problems in a gentle way instead of being so violent.
"Unless your majesty dissuades her, who can stop her with the strength of the princess in chief and the support of the commander-in-chief of the northern and southern Xinjiang?" Zhuge Xingzhi sighed and said.
"But this method is too simple, direct and violent." Shen Wujiu also said with a frown.
"Learning the art of civil and martial arts, defending the border and making meritorious contributions to the Marquis are the way to survive. Hoarding land, inheriting private schools and supporting the people are the strategies of the aristocratic family. He went to study in the countryside, county and county, passed the Chongyang examination, studied in the Imperial College, and finally ranked in the Imperial College. He was promoted in a poor family. " Foreign Minister min Wensheng said suddenly.
However, as min Wensheng's voice fell, Zhuge Xingzhi's eyes flashed a trace of jingmang, lacquer carving was slightly stunned, and then fell into meditation. Shen Wujiu's eyes first flashed a trace of blankness, and then bowed his head to meditate.
Min Wensheng talked about xungui, aristocratic family and poor family. These are the three major factions in Daqian chaotang army. Besides these three factions, there are royal families. When the emperor leads the imperial family, what the royal family needs is not the road of the humble family, nor the learning of the aristocratic family, nor the way of the nobility, but the learning of the emperor, the way of balancing the court situation, and the way of commanding the officials.
The poor family has the pursuit of the poor family, the aristocratic family has the interests of the aristocratic family, and the noble family also has the demands of the noble family. Naturally, the royal family also has the bottom line of the royal family. The aristocratic family continues to develop and grow in local areas, becoming more and more intertwined. Even some local aristocratic families do not dare to provoke the county government, which has undoubtedly broken the bottom line of the royal family, I've made up my mind to crack down on my family.
The so-called monarch has no private affairs, and the interests of the royal family are the interests of the whole leader. With the victory of the southern Xinjiang, the opportunity has come. The royal family does not want to continue to develop. After supporting the three poor heroes of that year, they have to do it again. In this situation, no one can stop them. All the people who want to stop them will become the enemies of the Yu family.
After the collapse of the three dynasties after Dayan, the system of enfeoffment of the imperial family collapsed, and the aristocratic family, which was based on the inheritance of sages' Confucian classics and land and agriculture, began to appear. It gradually reached its peak in the Dali Dynasty, and reached its peak in the previous Dayan Dynasty, and finally formed the Ba Kong Court and local official positions, A huge group that can abolish emperors at will. After Taizu established Daqian, because of the appearance of Jiuda University palace, the situation of aristocratic family changing from scholar warlord to warlord no longer existed, but in the local area, the aristocratic family was still powerful. "
At this point, min Wensheng looked at the three people's expressions and said with some emotion, "the old prime minister, the lacquer carving prime minister, the Shen prime minister, if you want to kill your heart, whether it's the nobility, the aristocratic family, or the poor family, what you're looking for is a broader upward path, or the power of the court, but the poor family is meager and has no inside information, and the nobility is rare and not threatening, Only the aristocratic family system is huge and intertwined. As long as there is a slight omission, it will separate the imperial power from the local rule. Therefore, it is especially forbidden by the imperial power. "
"Min Xiang is young, but he has a good insight." Lacquer carving special nodded and said, "we have established our country for more than 200 years, through Taizu, Gaozu, Shizu, Wendi, Wudi, Mingdi, Xuandi, until now your majesty, a total of eight generations. I don't deny that all the eight emperors were the wise masters of the Ming Dynasty. Even Emperor Xuan, who might be criticized by later generations, never relaxed his care for the imperial power and the army during his reign. We have all experienced that era, and we all know that the three heroes of the poor family were promoted and reused by the former Emperor, and the target was the aristocratic family. "
Min Wensheng nodded when he heard the speech. He was born in a poor family. He was the first-hand experience and the beneficiary of the rise of poor students led by the three heroes. However, in those years, under the leadership of Lu Chun, Bai Lijia and Ji Zhiheng, the humble family rose more from the military. Take a look at the present daqianwaige, the 12th army and the 24th guard, including the soldiers and soldiers who are used to maintain the public order of counties and counties. There is almost no place for the children of aristocratic families.
The three phases of the cabinet are divided into royal family, xungui and humble family. Almost all the commanders, divisions, deputy commanders and generals of the 12th army are xungui and humble family members. Only some of the children of the Xu family still exist in the 24th Wei, and all the garrisons in local counties and counties are in the hands of humble family members.
It wasn't until Princess Yu Chuqing said that the time had come that Min Wensheng responded. Maybe this bureau had already been laid in the pre imperial period. The royal family and the humble family are natural allies. If the humble family wants to rise, it can only rely on the royal family. If the royal family wants to suppress the aristocratic family and the noble family, it can only rely on the humble family. This is the appearance of the three heroes and the rise of the humble family more than 20 years ago.
With the death of Bai Lijia, Ji Zhiheng went into seclusion and Lu Chun didn't want to go to court, the present humble family has begun to decline. However, after more than 20 years of development, it has gone through the northern Xinjiang war, the battle of destroying Qingyang and the first zhennanguan war. The humble family has completely replaced the power of the aristocratic family and part of the nobility in the army. All the scenery and glory of an aristocratic family that has lost military power are like sand castles by the river. As soon as they are washed away by the river, they will collapse.
Thinking of this, min Wensheng can't help thinking of the former Emperor Xuan who was addicted to pleasure. Now it seems that the various actions of Xuan emperor in those years were more like intentional actions, even including the execution of Xiao Zhengshi, who was famous all over the world, and the destruction of the Xiao clan, who could keep pace with the nine aristocratic families at that time.
If we look at it from this point of view, we may want to suppress or even destroy the layout of the aristocratic family's foundation in one fell swoop. It has already started since Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, and both Emperor Yu Yuanxu and Princess Yu Chuqing knew it well. If you think about it carefully, since Princess Chang, Duke Wei and others disappeared, the emperor maintained the balance of the court situation in the court, spared no taxes in the opposition, and allowed the aristocratic family to show their greedy hand while reserving national strength.
Now the eldest princess Yu Chuqing wants to fight against the aristocratic family. Obviously, the Emperor Yu Yuanxu also means that. On the one hand, the time has come to clean up the dirt and dirt for Da Qian. On the other hand, the time has come to clear up the obstacles for the crown prince Yu Minghao. In the future, Yu Minghao will become the emperor of Da Qian Dynasty, Yu Tianxiang, a new generation of assistant princess, and Lu que, the son of Wei state, are in the same situation.
"But since it is such a big event, why did the princess come to Wenhua hall instead of her majesty calling us to Ziji hall?" Shen Wujiu looks a little complicated.
"Can't Shen understand?" Min Wensheng said with a smile.
"Do you mean that the emperor is the scorching sun and the great is the bright? This matter can be done by the eldest princess, or by our cabinet, or even directly entrusted to the northern and southern governors, but it can't be your majesty?"
With Shen Wujiu's words, wenhuadian is silent again. What Shen Wujiu says is the truth of the matter. Perhaps from the moment Yu Chuqing came to the Wenhua hall, things were irreversible, because this was the decision made by the two most powerful people in Daqian.
"Old prime minister, how will the top ten families react?" After a while, min Wensheng asked again.
"Except for Jinghu Yan family, the other nine families don't care about the court or the local authority. What they pursue is the peak of their skills. Why should they guard against such a family?" At this point, Zhuge Xingzhi sighed and continued, "and the top ten aristocratic families have already made a choice. The best of the ten aristocratic families are either making friends with Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, or listening to orders under the crown princess, or assisting Lu que, the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang. They have a clear understanding of the current situation."
"If you have no desire, you will be just." "Maybe it's because they don't pursue power, they just make friends with the people in charge of the imperial court under the premise of ensuring the inheritance of the family. Their transcendent pursuit has created their transcendent status and made them see clearly than anyone else. Maybe these great families realized that there would be such a day more than 20 years ago, I can't do without admiration. "
"It doesn't matter now. The question now is what our cabinet needs to do." Shen Wujiu shook his head and said.
"The eldest princess has come in person, and we have no right to choose." Zhuge Xingzhi said with a bitter smile, "we'd better sort out the local files of the Department of internal affairs as soon as possible. Maybe it will be used in a few days. As a princess, she won't give us too much time."
Hearing Zhuge Xingzhi's words, min Wensheng showed a smile on the corner of his mouth and said excitedly in his heart, "the victory of Southern Xinjiang has finally come to an opportunity for change, and the world of heroes has finally come to an end."
