The First Emperor issued an edict that after September 15th, the crime of obscenity would be added to the Qin Code and all the towers in Guanzhong would be demolished. This aroused opposition from the Xianyang aristocracy.
Although the three major aristocratic families were expelled, they left behind a huge watery peach - Concubine Li.
Providing concubines to all the buildings in Guanzhong, the three major aristocratic families relied on this business to continue the glory of the old aristocratic families in Qin. They became independent aristocratic families who could live a comfortable life without being separated from the Gan family, the leader of the aristocratic family.
With such huge benefits, basically all the nobles of the Qin State want a share of the pie. Who doesn’t want the family to take further steps?
But the imperial edict issued by the First Emperor seemed to be just a flimsy piece of paper. However, the pulp of the peach was crushed into pieces, making it difficult to pick it up.
The nobles didn't care about Qin's laws, but they cared about the attitude of the First Emperor. Blatantly violating Qin's laws would be a slap in the face of the First Emperor.
This edict was incomprehensible. The nobles could not figure out why and what was His Majesty's starting point.
Just like when the system of counties and counties was proposed to replace the feudal system, everyone can see that the First Emperor was using this to completely cut off the feudal kingdom and make the Ying family a royal family forever.
But why do we cancel the terraces and make it a crime for women to sell sex?
Guan Zhong originally invented brothels to recruit capable people, to make money, and to collect beautiful women for Duke Huan of Qi. The state of Qi could become the first hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period, and brothels also played a very important role in it.
But now that the momentum of the building is just right and all the benefits are being exerted, the First Emperor has issued the crime of obscenity. This is not in line with the situation and is also unreasonable.
Crushing the peach of aristocratic family members did not benefit oneself, but only harmed others and not benefited oneself.
November 10th.
New balcony.
Pigs, bitches, and horses gathered together.
The heads of the aristocratic families were frantically venting their desires, as if they wanted to vent all their evil thoughts that would never be vented again in the future.
The beauties are biting their lips and teeth to attract people's hearts, holding the full moon high and enduring the charge, or showing pain and flattering. This is a carnival without much humanity, this is a return to the ugliness of animal nature.
Gan Luo sat on the main seat and rejected the invitation of the family head for the twelfth time. He smiled and waved his hand, asking the head of the family who wanted to join forces with him to continue fighting alone.
The skylights are wide open, and the blue sky and white clouds can be seen from the new balcony. However, the twelve one-meter-square skylights cannot dissipate the smell of the house.
Gan Luo drank fine wine alone, and from time to time asked some nobles who were having fun to restrain themselves and not allow anyone to die in the house. This was his biggest goal as a leader.
The nobleman put the rope around the skinny horse's neck and tightened it while riding. As the skinny horse was about to die and felt the tightening pleasure, Gan Luo could not stop it.
What Gan Luo could do was to ask the nobleman to loosen the horse's rein for a while and give the thin horse three breaths of breathing time when the horse's face turned purple and the air was coming out too much.
This banquet, full of roars, violence, and screaming, came to an end after more than two hours.
In fact, the real hand-to-hand combat basically came to an end in about half an hour.
The next hour and a half was the time of these sages. The nobles who had regained a little bit of their humanity finally remembered the difference between humans and beasts, and took advantage of the good and the false.
Meat Ganoderma, cork horse, spirit pestle...
Seeing the beautiful urn pigs, skinny horses, and bitches with painful expressions and cries for mercy, most nobles felt great satisfaction in their dark hearts, some even greater than the joy of going into battle in person.
Gan Luo let the beauties who could walk go down on their own, while the beauties who couldn't walk were dragged down by Li Chen. Finally, he called the servants to clean up the red blood and white essence on the ground, and then another half an hour passed.
During this little half hour, the nobles drank wine, ate meat to regain their strength, and laughed loudly. They argued about whether the Western Weng Pig had a winding path and was so beautiful and tasted better. Or the Meng Family bitch was as soft as a bone and had no taboos, and felt better.
Or maybe the thin horse of the Bai family is both talented and beautiful, singing to add to the fun and have new ideas.
When the turbid air floated away from the skylight, the fresh natural wind washed away the building. Gan Luo, who was the youngest among the people but had the highest status, took a big breath of fresh air and said loudly:
"The beauty has been enjoyed, the wine has been drunk, and the delicious food has been eaten. Gentlemen, it is time to discuss matters."
The commotion gradually stopped.
After five breaths, they will all disappear.
A fat head and big ears, the head of the family who just crushed more than one concubine to death without Gan Luo to stop him took the lead and said:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's action has cut off our livelihood. What should we do now?"
One person took the lead, followed by people from all directions, and one after another the heads of the aristocratic families spoke.
"Brother Wang, what you said is extremely important. I hope your Majesty will come up with an idea for this important matter."
"Obscenity crime, how can those untouchables who can't find three coins in their pockets get into the building? Isn't your Majesty's move aimed at us?"
"Sir, what do you want, Your Majesty? It's ridiculous to criminalize prostitution! If you demolish the tower, where will we go to have fun in the future?"
"This is exactly the reason. I, Jiang Hou, don't value this money. I have never run out of food in my family with Shangqing. But I, Jiang Hou, will be the first to be unhappy if our happiness is cut off."
"..."
Because he was too old to do anything between men and women, Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze sat under the big tree in the new tower and ate the fruit for two hours without saying a word.
Today he only brought eyes to observe, not a mouth to speak.
When the crowd's voice reached the top, Gan Luo, who was sitting alone at the top, stood up and grabbed the clay wine glass on the table and threw it to the ground.
The clear and crisp sound of breaking made the whole audience stop for a moment. Gan Luo pinched the piece and stood up straight, shouting:
"A bunch of idiots! Extremely stupid!"
Seeing Gan Luo like this, everyone showed no signs of anger at being insulted, but instead acted as if they were listening attentively.
Compared with Meng Jiakun, Xishu, and Bai Fei who were mature and prudent in trying to win over the aristocratic family, the real leader of the aristocratic family, Gan Luo, was young and energetic, with an overbearing aura.
But everyone is convinced by this kind of Ganluo, because this kind of Ganluo can make them live a good life while waiting for death, and can solve difficult problems for them.
Gan Luo pointed at the heads of aristocratic families who were mostly uncles and preached loudly alone:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Meng Xibai and the others have been running concubines for many years, and they killed all the families for that man. If you want to die on this ground, why bother to find another way? Then
Money can only make Meng Xibai's family into a big family, how much can be divided among you? Your Majesty said that it is a crime of obscenity, and you are not allowed to take concubines? The building is against the law of Qin, and the new building is against the law of Qin? I don't want you to go to the building.
In pursuit of pleasure, are you prohibited from playing with concubines?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Under the suppression of leader Gan Luo, they all stopped. In fact, they all understood this truth, but they pretended not to understand.
Being able to build the three major Meng Xibai families into a first-tier concubine business second only to the Gan family. It is actually very impressive to distribute it to every aristocratic family present.
It would be best if Gan Luo took the lead in asking for it, and everyone would follow and drink the soup. Anyway, the first bird would be shot, and if the First Emperor wanted to take action, he would go first to Gan Luo, the leader of the meat-eating family.
If Gan Luo doesn't want it, for some families who want stability, then forget it. There is no loss anyway.
For those ambitious families, they can also try their best to take over. You, Gan Luo, have already said you don't want it. If we take it over and grab it from you, it will be morally wrong.
This minor turmoil seemed to disappear under Gan Luo's tough approach.
Gan Luo clapped his hands, and a servant raised his neck and loudly shouted in a male duck's voice that the singers and dancers of the song and dance drama should come in. Everyone watched the dance, listened to the song, commented on the drama, and had a banquet.
Halfway through the song and dance, Gan Luo, who was sitting on top, glanced at Baili City, the head of the Baili family, and said lightly:
"Baili City, you are not allowed to come to the next banquet."
Baili Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table with a clinking sound, and he opened his mouth to say something.
"Shh."
Gan Luo first raised his index finger in front of his lips, then pointed forward.
"Watch a show."
Gan Luo was pointing at the play in which King Qin Huiwen captured Yiqu, but his eyes were fixed on Baili City.
Everyone's attention then turned to Baili Cheng, and the two family heads sitting next to Baili Cheng also quickly moved to the ground.
Everyone knows that Shang Qing, who is not very broad-minded, wants to settle accounts with his wife.
When Gan Luo was imprisoned in Xianyang Prison, three aristocratic families wanted to seize power, and Baili City was the first to surrender.
"Your Excellency, the city is blind and blind, and it makes arrogant judgments about the situation!"
Baili Cheng immediately stood up and bowed half-bowed to Gan Luo.
Gan Luo laughed loudly, pointed at Baili City and said to everyone:
"Hahaha, gentlemen, this play is much more beautiful than the play between scenes. Please appreciate it."
"What the Lord said is absolutely true!"
"This play is wonderful!"
"Unknown Baili City's performance is better than that of Ling You, why don't you get off the stage? Your place is on the stage."
"..."
The ridicule, ridicule, and ridicule from everyone made Baili Cheng's face look even more ugly.
He was only one step away from becoming the fourth-largest family alongside Meng Xibai. But it was just one step away, and he couldn't even keep his original position.
"This Xianyang City cannot survive without you Gan Luo!"
Baili Cheng straightened his spine, pointed at his superiors and spoke angrily.
Pa~
He slapped the table hard enough, causing the cups and plates to tremble, and the juices from the dishes to splash lightly. He then agreed.
"This is true! The Meng family, the Wang family, the Li family, all the families with military achievements are so powerful that when they see us, their eyes are higher than the top!"
Then his face was full of ridicule.
"Meng Gong destroyed dozens of cities, Wucheng Marquis and Tongwu Marquis destroyed the five kingdoms, and Longxi Marquis also defeated Yan. Can your Baili City do this? Or can someone from your Baili family do it?"
Baili Cheng's face twitched and he waved his hands and left.
Gan Luo sneered and looked around, his eyes fixed on the boy sitting at the last seat of the banquet.
"Bob Berings, sit over here."
Bao Bering's father came to visit him. Bao Bering, who is sixteen years old this year, walked excitedly and sat on the seat that originally belonged to Baili City. This means that the status of Bao Bering's family in the Xianyang family has risen from a small family to a
The middle-class family closest to the big family.
What Gan Luo can do is not to make the Xianyang family unable to survive without him. But by following him, the Xianyang family can live a good life without working hard or struggling, just waiting to die.
All the heads of the aristocratic families looked at the boy with envy, but there was no jealousy in their eyes, because this was what Bao Bailing had paid for with his life.
There is punishment for mistakes and rewards for merit, this is Legalism.
Legalism not only influenced the King of Qin, but also influenced most high-level thinking.
November 12th.
Led by the Baili family, the ambitious aristocratic families, mainly small aristocratic families, submitted their resignations to the First Emperor.
Hundreds of resignation letters were put up, and the number was about the same as the number of official positions vacated by the three major aristocratic families.
The Gan family no longer leads the Baili family forward. Baili City, which has experienced major setbacks in half a month, is red-eyed and wants to unite a group of ambitious small aristocratic families to take a gamble.
The bet was that the three major aristocratic families would be eliminated, the official positions in the Qin State would be vacant, and the First Emperor would not have enough people to serve as officials. In his opinion, it was almost impossible for him to lose this huge bet, unless the First Emperor acted on his own initiative.
Baili City knew very well that in the Qin State where preaching and teaching were not allowed, except for aristocratic families like theirs, there were no scholars.
Otherwise, Qin would not have allowed the local nobles to govern themselves after conquering Zhao, Han, Chu, and Qi, and it would have been impossible to govern.
The military merit system is a double-edged sword. The outer edge is sharp and unstoppable, but the inner edge is unstoppable.
This is the reason why Ying Chengyu wanted to transition from the parallel system of prefectures and states to the system of counties and counties. If the Qin State had enough officials to govern the world and suppress the local nobles, Ying Chengyu would not be bothered to let the conspiracy of pushing the favor order go.
come out.
Baili Cheng's abacus was very good. No matter Baili Cheng thought he could win, even Gan Luo, who didn't want the family to cause trouble, thought Baili City could win.
If it were not known that Ying Chengyu was not in Xianyang Prison, the Qin sword hanging around the Gan family's neck might fall at any time, how could Taozi Ganluo left by the three great families have been let out.
Everyone thought that Baili City had made a good move, and they were all waiting for the First Emperor's approval to compromise with the noble families and change the edict.
Before evening, the resignation memorial of this small group in Baili City was approved. With a big word "accurate", the First Emperor agreed.
Baili Cheng took one memorial after another, reading this and that, over and over again, chanting in his mouth.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How is this possible, how is this possible... I want to see your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty!"
He hurried to Xianyang Palace, but was stopped outside. The First Emperor did not allow him to enter the palace.
Only then did Baili Cheng realize that this was true and he had lost the bet.
He returned home in despair, and was surrounded by a group of people from a small aristocratic family in front of his house. These people from a small aristocratic family surrounded Baili City, first questioned him, and then beat him violently.
The closed door was opened, and Baili's family struggled with these people in order to save Baili City. This kind of private fighting was against Qin law, and soon the patrolling city defense troops arrested everyone.
These small aristocratic families who submitted the resignation memorial were still yelling at Baili City in Tingwei Prison. If Baili City was not in a separate cell, it seemed that they could beat Baili City to death.
These people went to the gambling table but were not prepared to lose.
When the news spread, the Xianyang family was in an uproar.
Gan Luo, the leader of the aristocratic family, locked himself in the room and meditated hard. Cai Ze, Lord Gangcheng, used too much force and scratched the paper with his brush.
The aristocratic family didn't know where the First Emperor's confidence came from. They felt that the First Emperor was infected with a certain mad disease.
With so many official positions vacant at once, where should we fill them? If they cannot be filled, Qin Guanzhong will be in chaos. In order to prove that they are not forced, are you so motivated and regardless of Qin's safety?
No matter what the aristocratic families think, after the resignations submitted by a group of small aristocratic families headed by the Baili family are approved, it means that these small aristocratic families will die slowly.
As long as the First Emperor did not restore the official positions of these small aristocratic families, the power that should have belonged to these small aristocratic families would be concentrated in the hands of the First Emperor.
Thousands of years of aristocratic monopoly was broken when Ying Chengyu wiped out the three major aristocratic families. The persecution of the Baili family and the minor aristocratic families worsened the situation of the aristocratic families again.
The control of the aristocratic families in the Qin State has been pried open. The three major aristocratic families, the Baili family, and a number of small aristocratic families who originally stood on this big corner have been eliminated!
