Chapter 194: The Killing Intent of the Aristocratic Family
Emperor Chongming, the second leader of the resurgence of the Daqian Dynasty, made the Daqian Dynasty, which should have declined and entered the last years of the dynasty, once again have a prosperous atmosphere. As far as his current civil and military skills are concerned, he will definitely leave a rich mark in the history books. Pen.
"Inventory of acres, census of population!"
In the royal study room of the Daqian Palace, under the bright lights, the middle-aged Emperor Chongming could not help but let out a long breath after reading a policy essay from the county examination.
“It’s really good!”
Even though he can enjoy all the wealth and honor in the world, he is the Emperor of Zhongxing who is famous for his hard work. There are still a few extremely dazzling white strands in his thick hair, and his seemingly wrinkle-free jade face cannot be concealed. exhausted.
"His Majesty!"
Looking at the emperor who half-closed his eyes, put his hand on his forehead, and seemed to be trying to fall asleep while committing the crime, the eunuch who was accompanying him spoke, and his feminine voice echoed in the imperial study room,
"You have been reviewing the memorials for a day, why don't you take a break?"
"Why rest? I have been waiting for this policy statement for almost twenty years. Unfortunately, it is not a memorial. But since it is what the sages said, it is not bad. Go and summon the Taiwei, Da Sikong, and Da Situ to enter the palace. ."
Emperor Chongming smiled, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at the old eunuch beside him. A pair of ink-like pupils reflected cold light, as sharp as an eagle.
"promise!"
The old eunuch was shocked and bowed out of the imperial study, telling the young eunuch who was guarding the door.
Not long after, the three Dukes, who were already highly respected ministers and stood at the pinnacle of power in the Daqian Dynasty, entered the palace and entered the study room under the guidance of the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony. Because of their respected status, they could even sit down and talk to the emperor.
"Three beloved ladies, let's take a look!"
Looking at the three important ministers in front of him who were almost as old as him, Emperor Chongming waved his hand, and the strategy he had written on his crime suddenly floated up.
The three princes, who had to be summoned into the palace in a hurry late at night, looked calm and calm. They were able to reach their current position without seeing any big storms, and it was not the first time they were summoned into the palace by the emperor.
However, the calmness and calmness on San Gong's face disappeared as soon as they saw clearly the content of "Jianke" on the rice paper. Even the Taiwei, who had spent half his life in the military, couldn't help but change his color.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be considered in the long term and must not be pushed forward rashly."
Situ, who was in charge of land and household registration, couldn't help but speak. Although he knew that once the content of this strategy became reality and was successfully implemented, the power in his hands would increase dramatically, but he also knew what the consequences of failure would be.
"Your Majesty, who wrote this article?"
Sikong couldn't help but ask questions. The content of this policy was really too terrifying, and it simply had ulterior motives.
"It's signed below."
Emperor Chongming said casually. He looked at the three important ministers in front of him who could not hide their shock and only found it interesting.
"That reincarnated sage from Qingshan?"
"Are these really the words of a sage? Why are you acting like a young man with a bloody spirit? It is ridiculous to use the border army to suppress the family members and check the fields. How can the army guarding the border turn their swords inwards?"
Da Sikong’s reaction was particularly violent.
"Absurd? What's so absurd? Do you think that taking food from aristocratic families and from the mouths of those gluttons who can't get enough is a step-by-step, slow process?"
Emperor Chongming, who had already made up his mind, naturally did not care about the objections of one of the three princes. On the contrary, he really felt that this idea was a good one and it was completely consistent with what he thought.
Especially the last sentence in the policy statement. If this country is at its peak and the imperial authority is at its most powerful, if these ills are not solved and left to future generations, even if they have the intention, they will be powerless.
"Your Majesty, now is not the best time to check the population of Tianmu. If Your Majesty wants to use border troops to intimidate the noble families, you need a strong army that can intimidate the world."
The Taiwei also spoke at this time, trying to persuade the emperor in a subtle way.
Everyone knows about many problems, but no one mentions them, and they pretend not to see them on weekdays. Because these stubborn diseases are so deep-rooted that they are not only difficult to solve, but even the slightest carelessness can turn the world upside down.
When a person is young, he is full of energy, dares to fight, and dares to try everything that seems impossible. But when he reaches middle age and is a highly respected minister, he no longer has the vigor and vigor of his youth, and only thinks about safety.
Keep your duty.
Counting acres and conducting population censuses infringes on the interests of too many people, including themselves - everyone has done some things, and if they don't follow suit, they will look very unsociable.
"Strong army? What is a strong army?"
Few emperors had the courage and qualifications to suppress the noble families and cut their flesh and blood. However, Emperor Chongming had such ambitions. What Qingshan Sage said was exactly what he wanted.
He was the third son of the late emperor. He was not the crown prince by imperial decree, but he competed with several brothers for the throne, and that was how he became a great treasure.
The main reason why he is now called the Emperor of Daqian and Zhongxing is that after he ascended the throne, he liquidated more than a dozen aristocratic families who supported his imperial brothers who fought against him.
It is precisely because when he came to the throne, there was a clear-cut settlement that no one could blame, and when he came to the throne, he had a lot of money in his private treasury.
It is easier to do things when you have money, and many government affairs can be implemented. Under his hard work and hard work, Daqian has a prosperous and prosperous atmosphere.
But Emperor Chongming, who had harvested aristocratic families once, was not satisfied. The top aristocratic families did not participate in the imperial struggle at all, and ordinary dynasty changes could not even affect them.
With their huge size, they naturally lie down on the dynasty to suck blood and bones. In the eyes of any emperor with ideals, ambitions, and abilities, such aristocratic families are really an eyesore.
"Your Majesty, the beast barbarians in Beiyuan are restless again. The border defenders must not move without permission!"
"Beastman!"
When Emperor Chongming heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The group of ferocious and violent monsters in the north has always been plagued by scabies in Daqian. Every few years, they will make Daqian unhappy and plunder the people of northern Xinjiang wantonly.
Before Emperor Chongming came to power, the people of Daqian's Northern Territory had always suffered from the intrusion of beast barbarians. However, it was not until Emperor Chongming came to power that the border troops received sufficient military expenditures, and the situation improved.
"Within three years, Beiyuan will be pacified!"
There are no real secrets in the palace. Every move of the emperor is watched by thousands of pairs of eyes, and even the slightest movement in the snow and wind will not be missed, not to mention the fact that the three princes entered the palace overnight.
When Sangong drove out of the palace gate just before midnight, the place seemed quiet. Suddenly, there was an undercurrent in Kyoto, and countless people were inquiring for news.
And in the capital of Daqian, when a storm that could even overwhelm a dynasty and destroy a country was brewing, Feng Bingwen, the instigator, had already returned home to prepare for the second county examination two days later.
The second round of the county examination tested the candidate's ability to distinguish right from wrong and write official documents. To be honest, there was not much room for Feng Bingwen to perform, so when the exam time came, he just wrote casually and handed in the paper.
It is worth mentioning that before the second round of the county examination, the results of the first round will be announced. Qingshan County does not know why, but the results were released half a day late in previous years, which caused a lot of complaints from the candidates.
.
There was no doubt that the results of the results were released. Feng Bingwen saw that his seat number appeared in the first place, and the same was true for the candidates in the second round, who were also in the first place.
In this way, at the age of thirteen, Feng Bingwen easily won the county examination, although he had to pass the government examination again to get the title of childbirth.
But even so, Feng Mansion was filled with joy and the sky was filled with excitement. The old man even smiled so widely that he couldn't close his mouth with joy.
His father, who gave up his studies and went into business, was even more generous in distributing his wealth and throwing huge feasts, as if Feng Bingwen was already the top scorer in high school, but he only got the top spot in the county examination.
This kind of joy lasted for a full day before dissipating, but when the congratulations gradually subsided, the entire Feng Mansion fell silent, falling into silence in the night, with only two lanterns hanging at the door.
Flickering candlelight.
When the moon was at its zenith and the yin energy was rising, several unknown figures appeared near Fengjia Village, hiding in the darkness and looking at Feng Mansion, which looked particularly peaceful under the moonlight.
"is it here?"
"I've already made inquiries during the day. It should be here, Feng Mansion. The last name is correct."
"tnnd, this kind of thing requires us to come all the way here. The old men above are really full and have nothing to do."
"Aren't those uncles just there to entertain us after they've had enough to eat?"
"It's so ridiculous that we should come here to look for a little brat despite being so far apart."
"I heard that this kid is only thirteen years old this year. He just took the county examination a few days ago. He didn't write well and asked the county magistrate to submit it to him. I heard that it caused a controversy above.
Notice."
"Tsk, how dare you write about this? Even if I don't study, I know that this kind of thing is untouchable. If the emperor touches it, someone else might have to take the seat."
"Hehe, who cares, if you are stunned for a moment, this is retribution."
"Brothers, let's go. We've been looking at it for a long time. It's just a mortal mansion. There's no danger. Cut off that kid's head and go back to collect the reward from the big men!"
The eerie black shadow flowed silently towards the Feng family mansion under the moonlight, easily climbing over the courtyard wall. At this moment, a gust of night wind blew, and a lantern hanging at the gate floated in the wind.
rise.
Wow~
The wind took advantage of the fire, causing the candle flames in the lantern to surge. However, the candle flame did not damage the paper lantern at all. On the contrary, among the magnificent fireworks, there was a delicate and cute young child stepping out of the fire.
But just as the candlelight elf was holding a lantern and standing on the courtyard wall, preparing to show off his power, he looked at the corner of the wall, where countless tree roots were densely packed and dancing like snakes. The three uninvited guests who had just entered,
It has been wrapped up until only the human form is left, and after a while, even the human form cannot be seen.
