Quick Wear: The Charming Girl Plays with Everything

Qian Dai glanced at the expressions on Xie Yuwei and Gu Xuanmu's faces, and slowly said, "Food is based on labor and salary is based on merit, and rewards must be given to those who are capable. Previously, most of the official titles in Lin Zhao were hereditary, which meant that some capable people who contributed to the country did not receive corresponding rewards..."

"So I decided that those who have made great contributions in this war can be given corresponding territories and promoted to higher positions as rewards after I unify the world."

Qiandai spoke in a calm tone and her expression was normal. She didn't realize at all how powerful her words were like a thunderclap.

Gu Xuanmu was so shocked that he was stunned on the spot. He blinked and saw the seriousness on Qiandai's face, which did not seem fake.

The next second his heartstrings were violently shaken.

In the entire court, he was the only one who came from a grassroots background.

He, Gu Xuanmu, has climbed to his current position step by step by relying on his military achievements that are beyond the reach of others.

It’s just that other people always think that he is so lucky to be able to sit in a high position without any background, and they are both afraid of him and jealous of him.

But how could these people know that the hardships he endured were more than a hundred times greater than theirs.

Gu Xuanmu gritted his teeth, his eyes feeling a little hot.

He is not a pretentious person. Once he swallows some bitterness, he will not spit it out in front of others.

Nor will they blame others or complain about how unfair hereditary succession is.

Because he was very clear-headed and never expected those nobles of noble birth to treat common people like them equally.

But now, the most powerful king in the world told him that people born as commoners also have the opportunity to be promoted to higher positions and even have their own territories.

How could he not be willing to submit to such a monarch?

Gu Xuanmu clenched his fists, his eyes were burning, and his tone was firm: "If your majesty implements this system, the soldiers in the barracks will not hesitate to die on the battlefield even if they don't get any rewards."

He knew very well that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the military camp fought bravely, regardless of life and death, not only for the reward of military merit, but more for recognition.

And this system is the best interpretation of the recognition for those who come from common backgrounds.

He has a 100% chance of winning this battle.

The most important thing in war is morale. If the morale of the soldiers is high, they can even win without fighting.

Contrary to Qiandai's decision was Xie Yuwei, who was incompatible with the two of them.

He was upset, not because the system harmed the interests of him and his family.

He did not oppose this system. For him, he would unconditionally support anything Qiandai did.

But regarding this, he couldn't help but wonder if His Majesty made this decision because of Gu Xuanmu...

Even if it was just a little bit, he would feel like a thorn in his heart.

It's no wonder he thinks so. The ministers in the court tend to stick together in groups of two or three, and the interests involved have long meant that people without a background will never be able to gain a seat among these old ministers with deep roots.

Because of this, all the kings of previous dynasties, including Your Majesty, have never changed their views on family background, but now the sudden change -

The only possibility was because of Gu Xuanmu.

Once this system is implemented, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the major noble families, which may not be a good thing for Your Majesty.

Xie Yuwei knew that he had displeased His Majesty many times recently. If he spoke against him again, His Majesty would probably be completely annoyed with him.

Gu Xuanmu caught a glimpse of him frowning and seeming to be struggling, and suddenly realized that this person might be unhappy with His Majesty's decision.

He admitted that although Xie Yuwei was talented, in today's war-torn times, the status of civil officials was far inferior to that of military officials.

If he had not come from a family of officials, how could he have risen to the position of prime minister so easily?

Therefore, he has always looked down on these young masters from aristocratic families who are aloof and conceited.

If I hadn't been born into a good family, I wouldn't even be qualified to be the most ordinary soldier.

On the contrary, he always shows his courtesy to His Majesty.

Gu Xuanmu's deep eyes flashed with sarcasm, but his face showed no trace of it. He even pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"Prime Minister Xie has been silent and deep in thought. Could it be that he has something to say about your majesty's decision?"

Xie Yuwei raised his eyes to look at him, a dark mist spreading in his eyes.

His tolerance for Gu Xuanmu had run out, and he found fault with him in front of His Majesty time and again.

The purpose of such obvious hostility is obvious.

Xie Yuwei would naturally not succeed. Even if he really had this intention originally, he would not show it at all now.

He nodded slightly and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's decision-maker believes that it can be called perfect."

Gu Xuanmu rolled his eyes at Xie Yuwei's false compliments. He silently uttered two words -

hypocritical!

After the flattery, Xie Yuwei paused for a moment, then asked the question in his mind, "Your Majesty, could you tell me... why you came up with this idea?"

After he asked this question cautiously, his hands clenched under his sleeves and he stared at Qiandai, feeling nervous.

Qiandai put the tip of her index finger on her head and tapped it lightly, but did not answer him immediately. She just looked at him leisurely.

This look seemed to be able to see into his thoughts, and Xie Yuwei could not bear it and turned his eyes away.

"You don't need to ask more questions."

Qiandai said lightly.

She certainly has her own reasons.

Passing the word from official to official will inevitably lead to internal factionalism and corruption.

When she conquers the world in the future, she will definitely not let any of them govern the new city. The best way is to introduce fresh blood.

Besides, no one can object to the reward being given in the name of military merit.

Anyone who objects will be asked to take up their swords and go to the battlefield.

But do those old guys dare?

As for why she didn't tell Xie Yuwei, it was naturally to make him misunderstand.

As expected, Xie Yuwei's eyes dimmed when he heard these words.

He regretted that he shouldn't have asked.

"Miss Song, His Majesty is discussing official business inside. Please come back later."

In the moment of silence among the three people, the voice of Eunuch Liu outside the hall seemed particularly clear.

Gu Xuanmu and Xie Yuwei both shuddered.

The two of them had very good memories, so they naturally remembered that this Miss Song was the girl that Qiandai had taken a fancy to at the banquet that day.

They didn't think there was anything strange about a woman liking another woman, and they all became wary.

This Song Shuanghan, His Majesty seems to have some feelings towards her...

As if to prove their idea, Qian Dai changed her lazy attitude, got down from the couch immediately, and gave an order to the outside: "Nothing, let her in."
