Heavens: I can hypnotize myself

Chapter 261: Former Rebel Minister!kill! !
"If you really pay... Then tell them that the Wu Dynasty is newly built and lacks construction funds. I hope they can spend [-]% of their family's money to support the country's construction! Thank them for that!"

Xu Yi spoke casually.

After Cao Zhengchun listened to it, it was as if he had been enlightened in an instant, and he realized the peerless magic.

It turns out that this is the essence of courtesy first, soldiers first, and teachers who are famous!

Learn (waste)!

Learn (waste)!

Cao Zhengchun decided that in the future, he would take the eight words of "beginning with etiquette and then soldiers, and learn from teachers to be famous" as his action plan in Dongchang, so that every person in Dongchang could understand the essence of these eight words.

"What if they pay the money too?"

Cao Zhengchun asked the question a second time cautiously.

Although he felt that it was impossible for those aristocratic families with high-spirited eyes to agree to such a harsh condition, but what if?
What if they humbly agreed?

"If the money is also paid...then it doesn't hurt to let them live."

Xu Yi pondered for a while, and finally said this.

As Cao Zhengchun said, the reason why he wants to get involved with these aristocratic families is that apart from his poor sense of them, the most important reason is to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys!
The current court is very obedient, with one mind and one mind, he does what he says. This is certainly because of Xu Yi's personal strength, but on the other hand, he has not started the real reform and has not really involved their own interests.

Once he starts real reforms and starts to involve their own interests, they will definitely change their faces for you every minute.

Even though they were still intimidated by Xu Yi's personal force and did not dare to do anything on the surface, they would definitely do all kinds of small tricks behind the scenes, even obedience and infidelity.

Generally speaking, most of the policies of a court are good, even if the superior is a foolish king, he will think about making the country better.

Because in this way, he can enjoy it better!

But in fact, if a policy is implemented everywhere, it is already very good if it has [-]% effect.

In other words, they cooperated, but actually it went to the opposite effect. It was obviously a policy of giving benefits to the people, but in the end, it completely enriched the pockets of those in power.

These people's ability to do things is not good, but their ability to make money for themselves is unrivaled!
No matter how strict the policy you formulate, they will always find a loophole, and then use this loophole to make money for themselves.

And among these people, these aristocratic families earn the most money, or in other words, these aristocratic families are the source of these people, and they are their umbrellas.

Xu Yi didn't have time to play cat-and-mouse games with them. After he issued the decree, these people would jump out and cause trouble, and then he would deal with them one by one.

This is not necessary.

He chose to kill them with one stick!

He does not deny that there may be good people among these aristocratic families, but what they have done in these years is enough to ransack their families and exterminate them all!

Of course, he didn't mean not to give them a chance.

As long as they can donate all their martial arts and [-]% of their family property, he doesn't mind giving them a chance to survive.

After all, he's not a monster, is he? !

"My servant understands! This servant will do it now!"

Cao Zhengchun turned and left with a fierce look in his eyes.

Wang Xing!Zhao Zhiyi!Li Quan!besides······
The enmity between us, it's time for our family to settle it with you!
In the royal garden.

Xu Yi looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back. Under the blue sky, the clouds were rolling and relaxing. No one knew that a storm was coming.

······
The aristocratic family is very powerful.

But their strength does not lie in the individual.

If we only talk about a single family, their power is actually very average. Even the most powerful Wang family, Zhao family and Li family are just equivalent to a first-class power.

Top forces such as Hulong Villa, Dongchang, and Six Doors can easily destroy them.

These aristocratic families, the strongest in the family, are nothing but top-level fighters, and most of them are the kind who have not experienced hardships and are forced to rely on resources.

Such a top martial artist can be said to be the weakest kind. If it is a life-and-death battle, a congenital martial artist who has experienced many battles may be cut down even if his strength is a lot weaker.

In terms of hard power, a single family is really not that powerful.

But where they are really powerful lies in their alliances!
Regarding the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, later generations have many theories, both inside and outside, but in any case, there are three reasons that are almost indispensable.

One is natural and man-made disasters.

The second is eunuch cholera.

The third is court party struggle.

The Ming Dynasty's "Qingliu Party" and "Donglin Party" are really celebrities through the ages.

A large number of officials form cliques for private interests, disregard government affairs, and completely disregard the life and death of the people in the world, and only care about making money for themselves.

It’s still good now, but in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of party formation and selfishness in the court has reached the extreme, even if you don’t join it, there is no possibility of promotion at all, and the entire court’s power organization is almost controlled by them .

Although it is not as serious as later generations, it has begun to show a little clue.

The aristocrats of the various aristocratic families have already won over a large number of officials by using methods such as marriage, sponsorship, and master-student relationships, making them become their lackeys.

Not only that, but they are also connected with each other. Once the higher-ups want to attack them, they will join hands to fight against the enemy together.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

Under the circumstances that the officials of the great families together accounted for almost [-]% of the power of the entire imperial court, no emperor dared to touch them easily.

You said Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di?

They did dare to kill, but at that time, the power of the aristocratic family was not that strong.

If they were to go to the corrupt environment in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they would have to do it slowly if they wanted to touch these aristocratic families.

If you do it directly, it will involve too much, and it will easily cause turmoil in the world. Even if you are not careful, someone will pick the peaches, and you will never know if the dynasty changes.

But all of this was nothing to Xu Yi.

With absolute power in his hands, he is not afraid of any turmoil or turmoil at all. No matter who it is, he can suppress it by himself!
In fact, this will not cause any major turmoil or turmoil.

With Dongchang as the leader, Six Doors and Hulong Mountain Villa as the assistants, there are also major powers in the rivers and lakes in the outermost periphery to help finish the work. What ability do the major families have to stir up troubles?
Great Confucian scholars publicly insulting?

This is the most commonly used method by the big families. If their own force is not enough, then a public opinion war will be set off.

Your Majesty, you don't want to be infamous after death, do you?

Faced with this kind of public opinion attack, Xu Yi just approved five words lightly.

Former traitor!

kill! ! !

After killing dozens of Confucian scholars and more than 700 scholars, the whole world fell silent.

Not to mention on the bright side, even in the dark, no one dared to speak out.

Only Zhuge Zhengwo was the only one who still insisted on playing.

"Your Majesty, these great Confucian scholars and students are the pillars of our Wu Dynasty after all. Such killing is also a huge loss to our Wu Dynasty!"

After returning from the Battle of the Western Regions, he completely let go of everything and chose to return to Xu Yi's command.

Regardless of previous suspicions, Xu Yi still let him take the position of Liuwu Shenhou Mansion.

"It's okay, I have my own ideas!"

Xu Yi said lightly.

Next, he will promote the modern scientific knowledge system, which will completely shake the fundamental academic system of Confucianism.

Even if they don't jump out now, they will definitely jump out by then!

It's good to jump out now, after he kills like this once, and let them know whether the knife in his hand is fast or not, even if they have thoughts in their hearts, they probably won't dare to jump out.

By doing so, he indirectly saved the lives of most people!
"Well, Your Majesty, if you do this, your future reputation may be..."

Zhuge Zheng, I still want to persuade him from another angle.

Xu Yi waved his hand directly.

"After I established the Wu Dynasty and became the emperor, I never thought about fame!"

How much is reputation worth?

not to mention.

Do you know how the Qing Dynasty ruled the world?
There are only tens of thousands of Eight Banners disciples. If you want to truly rule the world with a population of tens of millions, you have to break both the bones and the spirit of Daming!
One of the most effective methods is to kill kill kill.

The centuries-old history of the Qing Dynasty later proved that their method was indeed very effective.Although they later spent hundreds of years revising the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, trying to...

Well!
Now, Xu Yi just learned a little bit.

Of course, when it comes to public opinion wars, who can compare to him?
These days, he has been writing the basic teaching textbooks for future generations according to the memory in his mind, from the first grade of primary school to the third grade of high school.

He only needs to add "a little bit" to the history class and political thought class above. Who cares about the "unofficial history" fabricated by the so-called great Confucians?
In Hokage, Hiruza Sarutobi of the third Hokage was able to modify everyone's memory in just over ten years with a single booklet, making them think that he was the strongest Hokage in history.

Could Xu Yi be worse than him?

From the beginning to the end, he never cared about these so-called great Confucian scholars.

And without these means, the aristocratic family also lost their only means of countermeasures.

When a person who controls an absolutely violent institution doesn't even want face, what else can you do to deal with him?

Assassinate?Assassination?Poison?

That kind of method is okay to deal with ordinary emperors.

To deal with Xu Yi?

I'm afraid you've lost your mind!

A large number of aristocratic families were directly ransacked and exterminated.

They also tried to resist, but their strength, in front of Xu Yi who almost controlled [-]% of the world's high-end combat power, could not stir up any waves at all.

In this world of martial arts, high-end combat power can even determine the direction of a war. What do these aristocratic families who lack high-end combat power use to fight him?
In less than half a month, these aristocratic families who had troubled countless generations of emperors were easily solved by Xu Yi.

During this period, let alone any turmoil or turmoil caused by these aristocratic families, there was no movement even if it was a big one.

Xu Yi's strength is too strong, and he has made various preparations in advance. Even if they want to rebel violently, they will be wiped out in a very short time.

Some aristocratic families wanted to disperse the children of the family and let them hide their identities in order to make a comeback in the future, but this didn't work.

On the one hand, the tripartite cooperation between Dongchang, Liufanmen and Hulong Villa has accurately controlled the intelligence of every family and family, and has already laid a net of heaven and earth.

On the other hand, Xu Yi also gave Cao Zhengchun the top-notch tormenting martial art of "Yin and Yang Grinding". As long as he is caught and interrogated, what information can't he get?

In this way, under a series of actions, these aristocratic families were basically wiped out, and only three families survived.

"There are three more?"

Xu Yi was a little surprised when he heard that.

"Have they handed over their martial arts and family property?"

"Returning to the master, they have all handed over."

Cao Zhengchun bowed his head and said.

"Honestly?"

"Honestly."

"interesting."

Xu Yi glanced at the three lists.

"so be it!"

These three families are just ordinary families, barely considered middle-of-the-road among the great families, and they can't play any role in themselves, so it's okay to keep them alive.

'If they can continue to survive in the next policy, then the Wu Dynasty may not be able to tolerate them! '

An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yi's mouth.

Among his various subsequent policies, most of them are aimed at and attacking these aristocratic families.

If they really wanted to survive in such an environment, they would no longer be aristocratic families.

"Master, these are the list of replacement officials, do you see?"

Cao Zhengchun handed over a thick list of officials.

Compared with solving the aristocratic family, the problem after solving it is a bigger problem.

People from these aristocratic families occupy too many positions, and perhaps there are very few important positions such as the heads of the six departments, but under these, almost half of the officials are controlled by them.

This is not counting some people who are connected with them for some reason. If those people are included, almost [-]% of the officials in the court are related to them!
If they were all killed, more than half of the entire court would be empty!

Xu Yi didn't care about that.

When it comes to killing officials, who can kill more ruthlessly than Zhu Yuanzhang?

That guy is really killing one crop after another!
During his reign in the entire court, he didn't know how many prime ministers changed, but what was the final result?
The world is still turning in the same way!
"This court is still too bloated! In fact, there is no need for so many people!"

Xu Yi looked at the list of these officials, shook his head, pointed, and only picked less than one adult, and gave up the rest. At the same time, he said something to Cao Zhengchun.

"Tell the people below that starting today, the entire court will implement a performance system. If that department does not do well, I will consider abolishing it as a whole!"
