272. Build the plank road openly, secretly destroy the old warehouse
"time?"
"The sooner the better, tomorrow!"
"So urgent?"
"Soldiers are valuable and swift, but nights are long and dreams are many. With our current influence, it is not difficult to achieve all this."
"Yes, I hold the financial power, you hold the military power firmly, and with their secret help, we all work together. This is not a change of dynasty, it can be done easily."
"Okay, it should have been like this a long time ago. I have had enough of such a corrupt court and officials."
Sun Zhen's blood was boiling, and he had regained the enthusiasm for fighting on the battlefield in the past.
Ning Caichen was also looking back on the past, calculating the gains and losses, and finally had to admit it.
"I used to worry too much."
Sun Zhen did not blame him, but comforted him.
"It's not your fault. After all, it's an ideal country in a dream. It's normal for you to be cautious and not sure."
Both of them have seen a happy life in an ideal country, but they are not sure in their hearts whether there is such a country and whether such a country can be created.
After all, it was a dream, what if someone made it up?
But now, if they want to achieve their ideals, they have only one reliable way and no other choice.
The next day.
"...His Majesty is ill, and all ministers have memorials that can be submitted to the cabinet for disposal."
After Eunuch Feng, the general manager of the Imperial Household, announced his decree, none of the ministers felt there was anything wrong.
After all, their emperor has never been a diligent master.
Three days to fish and two days to dry the nets.
If this was said about the emperor, it wouldn't even be considered a disparagement, but rather a huge compliment.
In fact, it is not uncommon for emperors to be absent from court for several months.
The ministers were used to it, and they left the palace in small groups chatting about something they knew each other well.
Ning Caichen looked at Sun Zhen and then left alone, leaving only Sun Zhen alone. He came to Eunuch Feng and said with a serious look on his face.
"Eunuch Feng, I have important matters and I need to see your Majesty immediately."
Eunuch Feng frowned, very dissatisfied with Sun Zhen's lack of understanding and putting him in a difficult situation, and immediately refused.
"Your Majesty does not..."
Sun Zhen knew that by doing this, he was forcing others to do something difficult, and might even make the emperor dissatisfied and lose his holy family. However, he no longer cared about this at this time.
He took a step forward, his eyes were firm, and his tone was even firmer.
"Eunuch Feng, this is a matter of great importance to the country. The situation is urgent. I must meet His Majesty Chen now!"
Eunuch Feng was stunned, or it could be said that he was frightened.
After all, he was just a eunuch who lived in a deep palace, and had experienced too few storms, so he panicked and answered with a guilty conscience.
"In this case, I will report to Your Majesty. As for whether His Majesty sees you or not, His Majesty can only decide independently."
Sun Zhen still had a serious face, showing how urgent it was to report what he had to report, and urged.
"Without further delay, father-in-law, please hurry up."
Sun Zhen watched Eunuch Feng leave and murmured in his heart.
"If I didn't want to save some effort, there would be no need to talk nonsense with you."
Sun Zhen shook his head and turned his gaze to the surrounding Ouchi guards. The look in each other's eyes... information was flowing, and then they turned their heads in tacit understanding, as if they were strangers.
…
An hour later, an imperial edict came from the palace.
Sun Zhen was appointed as the chief and assistant minister to make decisions on all military and state affairs.
This incredible imperial edict immediately caused an uproar, and the ministers were in an uproar, all in disbelief.
Then, there were many memorials and remonstrances, and some people tried to enter the palace to see the emperor and give him face-to-face remonstrances.
It's a pity that once all the memorials entered the palace, they were like mud cows entering the sea, without any response.
The ministers were a little at a loss and had various speculations in their minds, but they just didn't wait for them to react.
The capital has already entered a state of martial law. Then, the Dongchang and Jinyiwei spies came out everywhere to arrest corrupt officials based on the intelligence. The first one was the former chief minister of the cabinet.
At this time, all the ministers fell silent and began to suspect that this was the emperor's original intention. For a while, no one dared to move, fearing that they would be implicated.
However, this time it is not something that can be avoided by being afraid.
The capital was in turmoil for five days, and finally three-quarters of the ministers in the court were arrested and imprisoned.
Ning Caichen looked at the list and said in disbelief.
"Isn't this too much?"
"Brother Ning, I understand what you mean, but the people who were arrested are all incompetent people who have no ability and only know how to fight among themselves and make money. Those who are capable...even if they are corrupt officials, I will not touch them!"
Naturally, Ning Caichen would not think that Sun Zhen was lying to him, but this result... was really unacceptable, he sighed.
"Oh, this is a sign of the country's demise."
Sun Zhen nodded and said.
"So, we did nothing wrong!"
Ning Caichen agreed, but couldn't help but ask.
"Um...how's the situation?"
Sun Zhen knew who Ning Caichen was asking and answered truthfully.
"Don't worry, we still need that person. We won't make things difficult for him. His treatment will be the same as before. There is no difference except that the range of activities is restricted."
Ning Caichen nodded and looked better.
"That's good, nothing can happen to him!"
After the conversation, these officials were all dealt with, their homes were ransacked, those who deserved were killed, and those who deserved were exiled, and no one begged for mercy.
From then on, the remaining officials gathered around Ning Caichen in order to protect themselves. After all, he was the highest-ranking official except Sun Zhen at this time.
In fact, these people want to join Sun Zhen's disciples more. After all, he has the greatest power, the strongest strength, and the strongest holy support.
It is a pity that Sun Zhen did not accept these people and only wanted to seize military power.
Soon, the court was divided into two factions, one civil and one military.
As for the large number of absent official positions...
Sun Zhen and Ning Caichen had planned to streamline the number of officials. Besides, there were so many people who wanted to be officials that they didn't worry that no one would use them.
Since then, a new era has entered, at least for the human race.
At this time, the emperor was living in seclusion in the palace, paying no attention to the affairs of the government and seeing no outsiders. He only focused on "seeking immortality and asking questions."
Sun Zhen, the chief minister of the cabinet, firmly controlled the military power, vigorously carried out reforms, and used this to eliminate dissidents.
What are dissidents, corrupt and perverting the law, preying on the common people, stubborn and conservative...
In short, all those who are unfavorable to the reform will be screened and eliminated.
Ning Caichen, the second assistant to the cabinet, formed a confrontation with Sun Zhen, focusing on the shortcomings of the reform and trying to protect some officials.
In short, with these two people fighting openly and working together secretly, the reform was steadily implemented despite its ups and downs.
Although, there has not been much success yet in dealing with natural disasters such as monsters and monsters.
However, man-made disasters have gradually been eliminated.
The world is already changing, at least as far as humans are concerned.
In addition to the two seeds Ning Caichen and Sun Zhen, the other six surviving seeds also took the opportunity to come to the stage and enter the military and political fields. They cooperated with Ning Caichen and Sun Zhen overtly and secretly, and worked together to guide and ensure that
The reform is on the right path.
Otherwise, how could it be so easy with just the strength of the two of them.
Just when everything is thriving and moving towards a better future.
"Five Finger Mountain".
"Ah, finally a breakthrough."
Ye Yuan walked out of the cave and embraced the beautiful sun.
This breakthrough was just like before. Apart from higher quality of divine power and higher level of mana, Ye Yuan received no benefits.
Unlike Bibi Dong and others, after the road became more perfect, they developed more and stronger abilities.
This made Ye Yuan a little depressed, but all this unhappiness was diluted by another happy event, because at this time, Ye Yuan had another goddess under his command.
