Iron Dynasty

This Ge Yiren is a piece of shit, and the lower officials have never understood why the emperor kept him.

Li San's impression of Ge Yiren was not very good. Although he did not grasp what Ge Yiren did to the empire, he was so careful that it always made him suspicious.

I don't want to keep him either, but this kind of person still has a lot of uses. At least it's good for him to promote New Confucianism. If it were ordinary people, neither the common people nor officials would accept the ideas of New Confucianism.

However, this Ge Yiren had a huge influence among the Confucian students in the past. Since he followed the emperor to promote New Confucianism, many Confucian scholars had to change. After all, Ge Yiren used to be a pivotal figure in Confucianism, setting an example for the world's Confucian scholars.

Xiao Ming nodded, Confucianism could be said to be the state religion in the former Great Yu Kingdom, but in the process of establishing the empire, it inherited the legacy of the Great Yu Kingdom, instead of pushing everything over like the real founding emperor, this is the only way. It is the reason why the empire has left so many problems.

This Confucianism is one of the heritages. In fact, he did not completely abolish Confucianism, but took the method of removing its scum and taking its essence to make Confucianism, which was pulling the empire back, into a positive force.

That's why I use him. Governing the country is not just based on my personal preferences. He can best achieve my goals, and it is worth giving him the position of the patriarch. Xiao Ming said.

Then he glanced at Ge Yiren's memorial and continued: But you still have to keep watching his every move. From this incident, it is enough to see that Ge Yiren is still a two-faced person and cannot be taken lightly.

Yes, Your Majesty. Li San bowed and said.

After giving Li San an order, and the two talked about other information about the empire, Xiao Ming asked Li San to go back.

After Li San disappeared in the imperial study, Qian Dafu said: Your Majesty, it seems that this decree has indeed offended most of the nobles. The Queen Mother's words are still reasonable. The Emperor should be careful. No one has the power to rebel, and they themselves are very clear, in such a situation, they are afraid that they will adopt more subtle conspiracy and tricks, including murdering the emperor.

So I want to strengthen the security of the palace. Xiao Ming said with a smile, Qian Dafu's view is relatively accurate, through the two subversive measures of military reform and political reform, now the empire's political power and military power are firmly held by him. hold in hand.

And no matter how dissatisfied the nobles are with this policy, they have no power to cause trouble by force.

However, because they can't take incentives to oppose him, they will instead take covert actions to sabotage the decree he issued. In the future, the contradictions surrounding the privileges of the old nobles will probably be fought for some time.

In fact, the purpose of his decree this time is not to completely eliminate the nobility, because he understands that the old nobility disappears, and the new nobility will be born again. Throughout the ages, it is always a small group of people who have the most power, and a small group of people. For most of the wealth, as long as private ownership exists, it is impossible for human beings to establish a Datong society. This is the pyramidal social structure of human beings after the birth of private ownership.

But even so, the solidified pyramid structure is terrifying. He just wants to make the pyramid more fluid. The common people can enter the top of the pyramid by studying hard. People at the top do not work hard and naturally decline to the bottom.

Instead of retaining the situation where the Great Yu Kingdom used the power of the empire to support the entire royal family in the past, the rich and powerful family monopolized resources and relied on exploiting the common people for thousands of years. After all, if this state is maintained, the entire society will lack vitality. The reason why Yu has lagged behind the West for so many years.

It is naturally necessary to strengthen the security of the palace, and in the future, the emperor's meal will be tried by the old slave. Qian Dafu said seriously.

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Ming frowned. Sometimes reality is so cruel. If he died in a foreign war, it would be honorable, but if he was poisoned to death, he would be aggrieved. , It is estimated that there are many people who want him to die, and now there are more people after this decree is implemented.

No matter whether he is the one who led the empire to prosperity or not, now that he has moved other people's cakes, he is the mortal enemy in the eyes of these people. After all, no matter how history develops, there will always be a group of people who only see their own gold and silver mountains, regardless of the country and the people. of life and death.

It's embarrassing for you, but now there are fewer and fewer people around me that I can trust. This lonely person is quite appropriate. Xiao Ming smiled bitterly.

Qian Dafu laughed, This old slave has no children or daughters in his life, and he has nothing to worry about. He can only use his body to promise the country, serve the emperor, and make a name for himself in the history of the future.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming suddenly laughed, and he said to Qian Dafu, No problem. In the future, I will set up an Imperial Court of Meritoriousness, and let you be among them, so that future generations will look up to it.

Qian Dafu's face turned red with excitement. He used to be a scholar, but he was in such a situation because of bad luck, but he still had the idea of ​​learning civil and martial arts and selling to the emperor's family.

In this way, the old slave will die without regrets. Tears flashed in Qian Dafu's eyes.

Xiao Ming patted Qian Dafu's shoulder at this time. Since he came to this world, there are very few people around him who can truly trust.

Qian Dafu has done the most tiring work and got the least reward since he followed him to establish the six-state foundation. It is precisely because of this that he takes great care of his relatives.

Some people say that the emperor is ruthless, but the human heart is full of flesh.

Gossiping.

At this time, a little eunuch came to the door, bowed and said, Your Majesty, Pang Shoufu is here.

Let him come in. Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun was the initiator of the decree against the nobility. When he mentioned the matter of private schools that day, he had the intention to attack Fei Pei's gang.

Xiao Ming just followed the trend. As a result, he lost the support of some old nobles, but he got the full support of Pang Yukun, a group of upstarts.

Compared with Fei Pei, Tang Guogong, and Pang Yukun, who have been with him for a long time, they have been completely assimilated by him. Although they are also real nobles, they are quite low-key and treat the common people as equals. It can be said that they are very close to the people. , this is what he asked other nobles to follow, but unfortunately the behavior of Pang Yukun and the others was out of place in the eyes of Fei Pei, and they always looked down on them.

Your Majesty. Pang Yukun seemed a little disheartened. He said, After the decree was published in this newspaper, many nobles have vented their resentment on Xiaguan. All the way to the palace, Xiaguan has suffered a lot of scorn.
