Chapter 167 Abolition of the hereditary system, the trump card [Please subscribe and vote]
Ma Zhou was stunned at this time.
Because he discovered that the emperor had already begun to contain the family.
Many of his measures are to suppress the family, which means that he can hardly help!
If you don't have the power of following the dragon, that's all. It can't even help you achieve great things in the prosperous age.
Ma Zhou was very decadent. For a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do.
"Master Tianshi, what should I do as a low-ranking official?"
Ma Zhou kowtowed and asked for advice.
Su Chen said: "There are still ways. After all, the emperor's efforts to curb the family have not achieved very good results. Even if it is useful in the future, the effect has not been seen yet."
Ma Zhou nodded. Many of Li Shimin's measures seemed to be to contain the family, but for a while, they were not effective.
However, it is boiling a frog in warm water after all, and it will succeed in the end.
Su Chen added: "And these measures are not perfect enough."
Ma Zhou was confused.
Are these measures not perfect enough?
Even though he was extremely smart, he couldn't think of any better way for a while!
I can only kowtow again and beg Su Chen for advice.
"Master Tianshi, how should we improve it?"
"There are ways, but I don't know if you have the courage."
Ma Yiyi was stunned, then he patted his chest and said: "Master Tianshi, please give me some advice, I am full of courage."
Su Chen said: "First, ask the emperor to order the abolition of the hereditary system."
thump!
Ma Zhou was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his face was stunned and frightened, and he was sweating profusely.
He was shivering, his scalp was numb with fear, "Oh my God...Master Tianshi, you, what did you say, abolish, abolish, abolish what?"
Yun Zhongjun looked at it and felt a little disdainful in his heart. Is this the reincarnation of a god?!
I'm afraid he's not a coward!
but.
He didn't say much, just watched silently. When he saw Su Chen's tea cup was empty, he poured a cup of fairy tea.
There are many gifts sent by the Eight Immortals, including some immortal tea leaves. Drinking them soaked in water can help you realize enlightenment, clear your mind, and increase your weak magic power.
Su Chen took a sip of tea and then said, "Why, are you scared?"
Ma Zhou trembled, stood up with difficulty, and said in panic: "Master Tianshi, you are talking about abolishing the hereditary system, which is the lifeblood of countless nobles!"
No wonder he was so frightened.
The hereditary system is the lifelong pursuit of countless meritorious officials, such as Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and others, as well as Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, etc., who are all the twenty-four meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion. They are all Dukes of the country or prefectures.
In the Tang Dynasty, where kings and nobles were not descended from the clan, dukedom was the highest title, which was a reflection of their merits.
Their lifelong pursuit is to obtain titles, and these titles not only make them prosperous and wealthy, but also allow them to pass on their inheritance and have wives and children.
If the hereditary system is abolished, it will interrupt their inheritance and the path to prosperity for their descendants.
No honorable person will accept it.
It can be said that whoever dares to make this suggestion will encounter unanimous resistance from all nobles.
No wonder Ma Zhou was so scared, after all, this was something to offend.
Su Chen looked calm and said, "If you are afraid, then forget it."
Ma Zhou looked mournful and said: "Master Tianshi, you are an immortal and you are immortal. You don't care about the inheritance of the title of King Bingjian and Duke of Dao. However, others will only get a cup of loess in a hundred years. You only live to seek glory and wealth for future generations."
"If I propose to abolish the hereditary system, it will be equivalent to cutting off their inheritance. I will definitely fight to the death with me."
At this time, he no longer claimed to be a subordinate.
I was really frightened by Su Chen.
He gave another example: "Did you know that Guan Zhong in the pre-Qin Dynasty and Zhufu Yan in the Han Dynasty both deposed the vassal kings, and everyone knows their final fate."
"Although the hereditary system does not mean to reduce the vassal order, it is equivalent to reducing the nobles. Each of them is much more powerful than the clan members!"
Su Chen naturally understood how much impact the abolition of the hereditary system would have on nobles.
It is no longer simply taking money and power from the nobles, but taking their incense and inheritance!
Any bloody person will definitely go crazy if their lifeblood is taken away.
A lunatic like Ma Zhou knew the seriousness of this matter and was very frightened and nervous.
For a while, he didn't dare to agree to Su Chen.
Su Chen just looked at him calmly, but he could also see that Ma Zhou, a drunkard like him, aspired to a successful career, but if he was asked to weigh it, he would definitely be afraid of death.
Trapped in a dead end, he would definitely reject the offer.
so.
He must help.
Regardless of whether you helped Ma Zhou or Datang, it was considered a favor.
Therefore, when Ma Zhou was about to give up, Su Chen spoke again.
He said calmly: "You are confused. Don't forget that you are the reincarnation of a god."
Ma Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up and he was filled with surprise and said: "Master Tianshi means that I will get help from the gods?!"
Su Chen said: "You have been confused for so many years and accomplished nothing. I guess the gods have forgotten you a long time ago."
Ma Zhou collapsed immediately, "What should we do?"
Su Chen said: "You are also the reincarnation of a god yourself, why do you need to rely on others?!"
Ma Zhou thought for a while and realized that it made sense, "In other words, if I offend all the nobles, I may be in danger from the Yi tribe, or I can be reincarnated as a god and escape safely in the end?!"
Su Chen said again: "Look, you are wrong again. You are the reincarnation of a god, but you are not a god. You have no memory of past lives and no magic power from past lives. You are just a mortal. How can you escape?!"
Ma Zhou almost cried and knelt down directly.
"What should we do?"
"Pindao hasn't finished speaking yet. Your parents and clan members have already passed away one after another when you were young. You are an orphan, so you won't have any worries from the Yi clan. If you die, you will be the only one who dies.
"
Ma Zhou felt even more miserable.
For a moment, he didn't know whether Su Chen was comforting him or attacking him.
Seeing that he had finished speaking, Ma Zhou comforted him: "You are the reincarnation of a god. If you die, you will not simply die, but you will have completed your merits and returned to heaven."
"So, you don't need to worry about the consequences of cutting down the hereditary system. It will definitely be fatal for others, but it will be a blessing for you."
Ma Zhou was confused and felt that Su Chen was deceiving him, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Because, he felt that what Su Chen said made sense.
When hesitating, Su Chen came up with his second trump card.
"Moreover, this matter may not necessarily lead to death."
"Ask Master Tianshi for enlightenment."
It's nonsense to say anything else. Even if Su Chen is a living god and Ma Zhou is the reincarnation of a god, Ma Zhou doesn't want to give up his life easily.
He wants to enjoy himself in time, and even more, he wants to become famous. If he dies, even if he comes back to heaven, it has nothing to do with him being a mortal.
So safety must come first.
If the policy of abolishing the hereditary system can be implemented without risk, it will definitely be the emperor's trump card for aristocratic families.
Ma Zhou believed that Li Shimin would definitely trust him and put him to good use.
But, how to be safe?
He tried three thousand ways, but none were safe.
After all, they were veteran generals such as Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, as well as veteran ministers such as Wei Zhengchang Sun Wuji, as well as many aristocratic family bosses who had great influence both inside and outside the court.
If you touch their roots, you don't even know how they died.
Su Chen continued: "It's very simple. You are fighting against aristocratic families, and the ones who benefit the most are the emperor and the people. So, you only need to hold on to the emperor and the people firmly, hug their thighs, and there will be no problem."
Ma Zhou said bitterly: "It's simple to say, but it's not easy."
Su Chen said: "You still compare yourself to the ancient sages, and you are so wise?!"
Ma Zhou didn't feel ashamed at all. After all, he was a god in front of him. He could accept it happily even if he was said to be as stupid as an ox.
Therefore, he said: "In front of Lord Celestial Master, I am an insignificant official. I ask Lord Celestial Master for your guidance."
Su Chen said: "First of all, if you are loyal to the emperor, you will definitely be able to get the emperor to help you. But how to do it, I believe you will definitely have a way. Secondly, if you help the people and bring benefits to them, you will definitely do the same.
Gain the support of the people."
"Now, you have the protection of the emperor at court, and the protection of the people among the people. If any aristocratic family dares to touch you, it is asking for death. If they come secretly, I believe that with your cultivation level, you will not be easily attacked.
?!"
Ma Zhou was about to burst into pieces. His real-life cultivation was obtained by chance, after he was entrusted by the gods in a dream and woke up.
Only those who have strong vitality and know some simple self-defense techniques are not real people who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth.
but.
After Su Chen's analysis, he himself realized that this method was feasible.
How to please the emperor and get the support of the people was a huge problem.
Since ancient times, few people have been able to do it.
No matter how much Ma Zhou thought about it, he couldn't figure out how to do it before he could do it.
He could only kneel down again and said: "Master Tianshi, what should I do as a subordinate?!"
Su Chen said: "It only takes two words to win the emperor's trust and blessing; it only takes four words to win the hearts and minds of the people."
Ma Zhou's eyes shone and he quickly begged: "Which two words? Which four words?!"
