I'm playing tricks in Daqin

The emperor was furious, he would not get any credit if he went there, and he would be punished easily. Ding Xi was the commander, so he had to come, but none of the people below were willing to accompany him into the palace. The flag is sent.

"You know what they want to do? How do you know?"

Li Wei asked suspiciously.

"Weichen is from the south, so he can guess some reasons."

"What's the matter with this southerner?"

"Your Majesty, in recent years, the south has always been critical of the expedition. This time, I dared to guess that it was the south's counterattack."

In front of the emperor, Chen Yuzhou didn't dare to show off. Seeing Li Tianzi's confused face, he hurriedly explained.

People from the north were martial arts, and most of them joined the army, while people from the south were good at writing, and most of them became officials. They used to live in peace, but these years, the Great Qin fought continuously, and the status of soldiers continued to improve.

Generals can only be knighted, and some disabled retired officers will turn into civil servants, which touches the cheese of the southern gentry.

The speed of promotion in the army was much faster and the imperial examinations made it into official positions. The southern gentry also wanted to send their family children into the army, but the northern military group that had grown up could not tolerate southerners coming to the army to grab territory and obstructed it in every possible way.

Military positions are limited, and after a big battle, military merits are also limited. The Northern Military Merit Group doesn't even have enough points, so how can they be snatched by outsiders.

Officers from the south will never be reused, and the southern army will always be a second-line force. The Qin Dynasty destroyed the enemy's country and swallowed up the country.

The wealthy south is the pocketbook of the Qin State. In order to ensure the continuation of the war, taxes have been increased year after year.

They have to bear heavy financial expenses every year, but they don't get the slightest benefit. The property in the family keeps decreasing, but the children in the clan can't get a good background.

Whether Wen Wen just saw the development of the situation and raised his arms, or the southern gentry elected him as a spokesperson, this knock-on incident shows that the patience of the southern gentry has reached its limit, and they are unwilling to continue to be taken advantage of. Let the northern military group take it away and resolutely resist Daqin's foreign wars.

After hearing this, Li Wei also understood why even the southern military officers called for peace and resisted war.

Investing in vain for things that don’t make any money can be done once or twice, but if you want to do it for a lifetime, no fool will agree.

Chapter 566 Fighting With You

"You're from the south, and you're the inner guard. Are you not doing well?"

Chen Yuzhou ignored Ding Xi's murderous gaze, and said directly: "If it weren't for the hard work of entering the palace this time, I have never had the chance to see Your Majesty in my life, Your Majesty! I know that the consequences of saying these words are negligible. I would rather die than say something for the southern soldiers!"

As a member of the Northern Military Group, Ding Xi couldn't bear it anymore, "You dare to confuse the king and stir up civil strife, what is your intention, come and take him down!"

"I see who would dare! Ding Xi, in this palace, who is in charge?"

With such heavy words, Ding Xi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged desperately for mercy.

Everyone has selfishness. It is normal for an imperial court to have many hills, and Li Wei doesn't bother to take care of them. Checking each other is also the way to control them.

But Li Wei couldn't tolerate these hilltops affecting the court's affairs for their own benefit.

"Chen Yuzhou, from now on, you will follow me and be a bodyguard."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Chen Yuzhou was so moved that he was about to cry. The little guards were nothing, but the military officers around Li Wei were all members of the Northern Military Group. Chen Yuzhou's ability to enter the inner circle was definitely an opportunity for the southern gentry. Huge win.

That afternoon, the sixth father-in-law hurried up to Li Wei.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Seventy percent of the employees of the "Empire Briefing" have resigned."

The style of writing in the south is at its peak, and most of the literati working for the "Empire Briefing" are from the south. This time, the southern gentry wants to wrestle with Li Wei. The family of the literati in the south, the teacher will definitely work hard. They are either voluntary or forced, and they don't have to leave the "Imperial Briefing". Imperial Briefing, the mouthpiece newspaper of the emperor.

After the newspaper appeared, Li Wei firmly controlled the right to speak. When the "Empire Briefing" resigned, Li Wei saw the crisis. The southern gentry was too large, and it was very difficult for him, the king of a country, to deal with it.

"This is just the beginning, let's go out of the palace to have a look."

Li Wei always regarded the imperial palace as a place of office and a residence. He went out for a walk whenever he wanted to go for a walk after work, and the palace guards had long been used to it. There was even a team of palace guards in casual clothes ready to go out of the palace every day to escort them.

Walking on the street, Li Wei took a deep breath and smelled the strong smell of gunpowder in the whole city.

"Chen Yuzhou, you southern gentry are really powerful."

"Your Majesty, they... they are also loyal and patriotic, but..."

"Needless to say, they are them, and you are you. I won't be like those stubborn old men in the army who pretend to be ignorant. As long as they are southerners, they will be shot to death."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"You don't read much. I don't like you who flatter you. You need to read more to make progress."

The emperor even bluntly said that he likes to flatter his lucky ministers. Chen Yuzhou's face was dark, and he didn't know how to answer this.

After a short walk on the street, four or five scholars gave Li Wei leaflets for free.

The above is not to introduce the battles over the years, how many soldiers were killed in the Qin State, and how many people were killed or injured, or to exaggerate the strength of the Jin State and extol the benefits of peace.

After discovering that there were disrespectful words written on a flyer, Chen Yuzhou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, these people should be arrested."

Although he is also a member of the southern gentry, he is not as radical as Wenwenfu. He has been educated in the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor since he was a child, and he believes that the emperor should be persuaded if he has done something wrong, and if someone deceives him, he should let the emperor know the truth.

Openly confronting the emperor is no different from rebellious officials and thieves.

"It's useless. If you capture people like the imperial capital, the gentry in the south will definitely be shaken. They dare not rebel, but they are the best at instigating the people to rebel. I don't want to see the south corrupt."

If they are defeated, they are rebellious. They have made great contributions in helping the court suppress the rebellion. If they become them, they will be ministers of the dragon, and they will take advantage of both inside and outside.

When Li Wei was thinking about countermeasures, a crisp voice suddenly came.

"Hey, isn't this Shangdi? Your country of Qin is about to end."

Glancing at the horse merchant of the Kingdom of Jin who played the double reed with Zhou Xiancong, Li Wei asked coldly: "When will the horse that owes me arrive?"

"It's not like horses can fly over if they are available. Besides, your country Qin strictly inspects border trade. There are many procedures to go through. It's very troublesome. I'm worried that when my horse arrives, the Qin people in the south may have already rebelled. You Qin country None exist."

Chen Yuzhou, who had just cursed the fate of Qin and was eager to show his loyalty, drew his sword directly, but was kicked away by Li Wei's family.

"Are you very concerned about our state of Qin?"

"The land in Chang'an is very suitable for my big golden sons to graze."

Seeing Zhulan Yaer pretending to be heroic, Li Wei couldn't help laughing.

Zhulan Yaer thinks she is good at disguising, but she doesn't know that Li Wei has already seen that she is a woman disguised as a man, living on the dry and windy grassland, and her skin is so fair and delicate, she must be a grassland lady.

"It's nothing to quarrel with your own family. How could it lead to separation?"

"Until now, you are still stubborn. Either the southern gentry rebelled and begged us to protect Dajin and let my sons serve Dajin, or your Emperor Qin obediently sent a woman to Dajin so that my sons-in-law would be filial."

"You underestimate the wisdom of my Great Qin Emperor, one day! It only takes one day, and everything will disappear, and the whole country will unite as one, and unanimously speak out."

Li Wei's words seemed to be a big joke, and Zhulan Yaer burst out laughing, everyone could tell her true gender with her smile.

"Okay, let's make this bet. If you lose, the horse promised to you before will not be given to you, and you will pay me [-] catties of good iron."

"Okay, if you lose, you have to give me another [-] good horses."

"No problem, the gods are witnesses!"

After saying that, Zhulan Yaer stretched out her palm.

Li Wei was also unambiguous, holding her palm to swear, the proud Zhulan Yaer found that Li Wei was secretly clasping his palm, and quickly retracted his hand.

"Shameless!"

"Why am I shameless?"

"You...you are shameless!"

After all, Zhulan Yaer is a woman, and she is still embarrassed to say some things.

Li Wei still wanted to tease this lady from the prairie, when suddenly there was a shout in the distance.

"Your Majesty, a parade of thousands of scholars is coming ahead."

A spy who came back from the front whispered in Li Wei's ear.

Since ancient times, scholars have been in a detached position. With so many scholars gathered together, even Emperor Li dared not order them to disperse.

"What are they going to do?"

"They say they want to petition."

The Zhuque Street where Li Wei is located is not only the most prosperous area, but also the only way to enter the palace, and the parade must pass through here.

After a little thought, he took people to the teahouse on the street. Zhulan Yaer, who wanted to see Li Wei's jokes, followed Li Wei directly into the private room of the teahouse.

"Shangdi, I don't read much, and I can't read a lot of your characters. What is written on their banners?"

A woman who could even read leaflets suddenly became illiterate. Li Wei naturally understood her meaning and didn't care.

Zhulan Yaer's expression "suddenly realized"

, smiled and said: "Your emperor is not as good as our Dajin Khan. Our Khan is the sun and the moon. He is supreme. Your emperor is not as good as the common people."

At this moment, Li Wei was in no mood to argue with Zhulan Yaer, because he found that there were many people carrying coffins in the crowd, and Zhou Xiancong, who was at the front of the coffin team, was determined.

"Your Majesty...Master, there is news in the parade that hundreds of scholars are going to die today to persuade the emperor to be considerate of the hardships of the people and not to lightly start the war."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Wen in the team shouted loudly: "The time is so difficult, it is appropriate to broaden the power of the people and respect the fundamentals, why thank you?"

"I took a long breath to cover my tears, mourning the hardships of the people's lives."

"The soldiers are here, and the front is anointed.

The people are safe, fill the ditch.

The country remains the same, and thousands of villages are scattered. "

As soon as Wen Wen, the leader, shouted a sentence, the scholars behind him stood up and shouted in agreement. The people onlookers couldn't understand the meaning of these words, but the more they couldn't understand, the more they felt awe, and the more they felt that what they said was right. There were cheers from time to time.

Some people cheered, and the fledgling scholars became even more excited, thinking that the rise and fall of the world rested on their shoulders, and today they had to persuade the emperor to agree to the marriage.

Zhulan Yaer gloated and said, "Look, if there are hundreds of scholars committing suicide, your country of Qin will be full of excitement."

The Kingdom of Jin was regarded as a country of barbarians. Unless forced to do so, no scholar would go to the Kingdom of Jin to be a traitor, but on the road, besides Qin and Jin, there were also Han and Chu.

If today's incidents really get out of hand, Qin will inevitably lose the heart of scholars, and a large number of scholars will go to Han and Chu to serve. Their departure not only means that Qin is a talented person who governs the country The loss of Qin also means that the families behind the scholars are at odds with the Qin court.

"How do you think we can clean up the situation in front of us?"

Listening to Li Wei asking himself, Zhulan Yaer, who was full of confidence in his own wisdom, looked arrogant, "Simple, give them benefits, what scholars like most is to be an official, let them be an official, they can even kill their father forget."

"But there are not so many official positions."

Zhulan Yaer looked at Li Wei like an idiot, and said with disdain: "Stupid, then give them empty jobs instead of real power."

"Even if it's just a vain job, a salary must be given."

"Stingy and stupid Qin people, that's only a few dollars, compared to the damage they caused by rioting, what is it?"

Nodding his head, Li Wei continued to ask: "In the imperial capital, an official with a false position is nothing, but when they return to their hometown, they are great figures. How to deal with it?"

"This one……"

Zhulan Yaer became speechless.

"You are right. They are all fans of the government. Even officials with false positions will try their best to gain real power. In the end, the bureaucracy will expand viciously. The number of people far exceeds the normal work needs, and the administrative efficiency is low. How to deal with it?"

Chapter 567 The Temptation I Can't Refuse

When Zhulan Yaer bowed his head to think about the countermeasures, Li Wei continued to ask: "If there is trouble, compromise and appoint officials to appease. Once this trend blows, unless an official who has already obtained an official position, or a scholar wants to make trouble, how will the country go into chaos? What kind of level? I heard that you Dajin Khan, you will come with a big gift package for enthronement, and the number of officials will be as many as 3000?"

Zhulan Yaer used to only invite Fulong to buy people's hearts, but she never thought about the consequences of doing so.

If Dajin is in chaos, not to mention Qin, both Han and Chu countries may send troops, and the Mende Department, which was placed at the forefront, will definitely suffer first. Zhulan Yaer, who has been watching jokes, finds that his family is going to be unlucky, and laughs again not coming out.

And the guards, who had been holding back their anger all the time, cheered and applauded when they saw that the emperor had successfully crushed the arrogant Jin Kingdom woman.

"Your own family is not peaceful, so you still have time to worry about my Dajin?"

"What are you talking about? It's just a trivial matter. I'll go down now and let them defect immediately."

"boast."

Zhulan Yaer looked disbelieving.

"The bet just now, I want to raise the bet, do you dare to follow?"

"Why don't you dare? If you alone can persuade them to leave, I will compensate you another [-] horses. If not, you can give me an extra [-] good iron."

"it is good!"

After agreeing, Li Wei stretched out his hand to make an oath, but Zhulan Yaer, who was taken advantage of by Li Wei, would not agree.

Touching his nose, Li Wei smiled awkwardly: "I just said that I want them to defect, not to persuade them to disperse, so watch carefully."

Seeing Li Weizhen turned and went downstairs, Zhulan Yaer hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, if you really want to go, those people are crazy."
