[System] Former political enemies are all guilty of peach blossoms

Seeing Su Xieyi and the emperor's palace examination through the gap, Mu Yunmen has a world-shaking understanding of that man.

With flamboyant appearance and unrestrained behavior, I thought that the outside and the inside were the same, but I didn't expect that he is a strange person. No wonder the emperor is so happy!

For the Yin Dynasty, it is time to surpass the rise of neighboring countries, especially because of the better geographical environment, many high-economic crops, and great advantages in trade. Su Xieyi's political views are completely against the emperor taste.

At the same time, Yanguo happens to be a place rich in the rare and valuable tea, Baixuejian. The hidden people who benefit from this policy at the same time are some kings who have cash crops in the territory. Could it be that King Yan's selection of this person is actually trying to kill two birds with one stone?

Mu Yunmen's heart skipped a beat, temporarily ignoring the many uneasy factors hidden behind the apparent good harvest of the imperial court.

If his own political views are successfully adopted, it should reduce the potential instability of the closure of the country like never before, and then a little problem behind Su Xieyi may be solved easily.

Just as Mu Yunmen fell into self-contemplation and came back to his senses, the last candidate for Fengguo had already been called.

"No. 12, Wu Guoli Exhibition!"

The last one is the man with untied hair and a calm face.

Li Zhan's detached appearance really attracted the attention of the people in Jingjian Hall, but what he said was lackluster after he opened his mouth.

First of all, he flattered Qi Li, who was seated in the seat, for being brave and brave. The prime minister, doctor censor, and Taiwei are all rare capable ministers who benefited the emperor and the people.

After experiencing the unique Su Xieyi, Qi Li felt disappointed as soon as he heard Li Zhan's flattering words.

Who is the emperor?It is people who can hear good words about horses and horses every day, and usually this kind of people can only cover up their lack of knowledge with good words.

Sure enough, as Qi Li guessed, after Li Zhan started his own political views, most of his views were to continue the current policy, and there was nothing new in it, but there was one thing that caught his ears, which was to build the business plank road on Longji Mountain as soon as possible.

The emperor tapped the Dragon Seat with his fingers, thinking for a moment.

"Li Zhan, let's be Zhonglang first."

Lang, no fixed number, about a thousand, belongs to the grassroots official position.It must be that he was afraid of hurting the face of King Wu, so he arranged for this person to be such a low-level official.

At this point, all the candidates for feuding the country are over, and there are only six county candidates left in the side hall.

Mu Yunmen's palms were a little sweaty, and he lightly touched the fabric of his robe on his knees. Suddenly, the eunuch outside the palace shouted again:

"No. 13, Muyun Sect of Weiyang County——!"

Geek!

The man's heart was suddenly clenched by the shrill voice, his blood surged up, and he felt his face heat up.He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, adjusted his clothes, and walked away without hesitation.

The moment the corner of his clothes disappeared behind the door, the remaining five people looked at each other with surprised expressions.

Mu Yunmen?Is it the person with the same name or the former prime minister they have heard about?

In the Jingjian Hall, the man in the jade shirt slowly bent forward, but before he approached, except for Mei Fu, the expressions of the three people in the hall were all changing.

Doctor Lian An and Taiwei Wei Fuzhao, both of whom had worked with Mu Yunmen for several years, recognized who they were at a glance.Qi Li jumped up from the dragon seat in surprise, his eyes widened and he looked carefully, he did not recognize the wrong person!

Mu Yunmen's expression was calm, some loose dark clothes fluttered slightly in the wind, and he came to the Ninth Five-Year Lord and San Gong, knelt down and bowed down.

"Muyunmen, pay homage to the emperor."

Seeing his cousin in a jade shirt and crown appearing rashly in the palace examination for the selection of civilian officials, he couldn't help secretly getting angry.

"What's going on here? Someone, bring Liu Taichang up to the hall!"

Qi Li turned cold and shouted at the guards, the two gold-armored guards responded, and were about to go to the side hall to suppress people, Mu Yunmen, who was kneeling on the ground, groaned inwardly.

"Please wait, Your Majesty. The person who recommended Mu Yunmen is a minister."

Mei Fu, who was sitting on the third seat under the emperor's feet, spoke up, her hawk eyes settled on Mu Yunmen, calm.

Now, the emperor, doctor censor, and Taiwei all showed even more shocked expressions.Mei Fu recommended Muyunmen, the sun is from the west, right? !

"Look! Host! What I said is true, Mei Fu has assisted me! Thanks to chance, host!"

Yisha in the sea of ​​Muyunmen's knowledge was extremely excited, as if he had seen a wonderful buzzer-beater.

Mei Fu spoke up to defend, and at the same time, Mu Yunmen, who bowed his head and bowed his head, was shocked, but no one saw his expression. If he saw his expression, he would probably laugh out loud in the hall if he was as serious as Mei Fu.

"...Prime Minister Mei, why are you...? Sigh, uncle, let's calm down first."

Seeing that it was actually his competent minister Mei Fu who sent the Mu family members to the palace, Qi Li instantly felt betrayed, with mixed feelings.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mu Yunmen got up, Shang knelt on the ground, Mei Fu on the opposite side took a deep look at himself, and then told the emperor:

"The minister recognized that Muyunmen can be of benefit to the emperor, so he recommended him to the palace as a recommender. You also know that he has made great achievements in defusing the power of the feudal state. Your majesty, why don't you listen to Muyunmen first?" How do you see me?"

Presumably, Mei Fu himself had anticipated these lines, and she persuaded Qi Li softly and concisely, which was very convincing.

At this moment, the sound beside the man's ear, besides hearing the high-ranking and powerful exchanges in the hall, was the roaring heartbeat from his chest, but Mu Yunmen pretended to be calm, just like the mirror-like lake water.

"...That's fine too, cousin, please."

Qi Li frowned slightly, and his delicate thin lips pursed slightly. It was rare that Mei Fu didn't stand by him, so he could only keep his resentment in his heart, and it would appear arrogant if he persisted.All goodness and filial piety are the first, and Mu Yunmen is his elder after all, it is too ugly, and he can't set an example in the hearts of the people in the world.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Mu Yunmen nodded lightly, and after a pause, he said slowly:

"Following Emperor Xiao'an and Emperor Cheng returned to the imperial power the right to recruit soldiers and mint coins of the feudal kingdom, which triggered the rebellion of the five kings. Although the rebel party was beheaded at the end, it was also severely damaged. Therefore, during the period of Emperor Lian, he has always adopted a gentle and laissez-faire attitude. While appeasing the King Feng, the conflicts were eased, so after the death of the first emperor, many feudal states recovered from the chaos of war, and some feudal states were even as wealthy as Weiyang County."

"I think it is time to implement some restraint measures against Feng Wang again, so as not to get too arrogant."

Qi Li nodded, summing up that the Yin Dynasty's past strategy of cutting the seal was very clear, and he also grasped his own hidden worries.

The biggest problem now is that even though some kings have no soldiers, they have money!If you have money, you can do anything, including buying soldiers. Even if you close the country and pay tribute and taxes every year, and show your loyalty to the court, the emperor wants to really sit back and relax.

"What does uncle think I'm going to do?"

Qi Li asked, it is very difficult to strike a balance between softly comforting Feng Wang and conscientiously restricting Feng Wang's full strength.

"Your Majesty can issue a summons to invite a certain proportion of the sons and crowns of the kings to enter Weiyang City on the grounds of strengthening clan ties and becoming officials. Within three people, one person, within eight people, three people, and within 15 people For five people, those who do not reach the crown or those who do not want to enter the capital will be taxed instead. One person will be taxed at 3 taels of silver per year, otherwise it will be regarded as disobedience to the emperor's order, deprived of his throne, and his fiefdom."

He said the core in a calm tone, and the expressions of the emperor and the three princes on the seat changed.

This trick is soft and soft, and cruel and ruthless.

The softness is that he didn't directly cut off the power of the king, but just let some of his sons enter the court as officials.The cruel thing is that this is actually a proton strategy. Entering the court under the pretense of being an official is actually a hostage. If the king dares to rebel, the sons will sacrifice blood first.

Moreover, 3 taels of silver per year!Unprecedented heavy taxes!For the tax-collecting imperial court to have such a heavy sum of money every year, of course they are laughing, but the only people who are cut to pieces are the unlucky people of the sealed country.

"3 taels of silver, what's the advantage of this?"

The emperor held his chin and pondered for a moment, then asked slowly, already fascinated by Mu Yunmen's political views.

"The condition of 3 taels of silver is actually only considered as a condition for a wealthy and feudal country. This has two advantages. One is that it can restrain the arrogance of some wealthy and enemy countries, and the other is that it puts pressure on the people's livelihood. After all, heavy taxes are imposed. , It is still the common people who really pay taxes, if they choose to pay taxes, riots and rebellions can be regarded as the imperial court helping them plant a hidden danger, then the imperial court will have more reason to send troops to suppress the turmoil, and even turn the country into a county and return to the control of the imperial power."

ruthless!This clever back move is really too ruthless!

It's hard to imagine that such a careful idea came out of the mouth of that thin man in jade shirt, with an ordinary appearance and a flat tone.

There is a saying: "For three days after a farewell, you should treat each other with admiration."

Three years ago, with a regrettable ending, like the most splendid firework in Tianji, he was annihilated in the change of imperial power together with the collapsed Mu family.But the Muyunmen in front of him, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, once again stood on the Jingjian Hall, the center of the officialdom of the Yin Dynasty.

Lian An's eyes were deep and his expression was gloomy, Wei Fuzhao nodded encouragingly at the man, Mei Fu smiled without meaning from the beginning to the end.

"These princes, what kind of official positions should they give when they enter the court?"

Qi Li already admired Mu Yunmen's policy very much in his heart, so he asked the last question.

Although the princes are in their own hands with a good name, the official system must be carefully selected. Once they are allowed to enter the core of the court, wouldn't it be worse to cooperate with the inside and outside?

"Your Majesty, I thought it would be possible to set up a special Department of Zongwu for direct communication between the imperial court and the feudal kingdoms, to manage the compilation of the records of transportation, water conservancy, population, agriculture, fishery and animal husbandry of each feudal kingdom and put them in the Huazhang Palace library on a regular basis. It is possible to allow the princes and sons of the Zong Dynasty to participate in the development meeting of the feudal state on behalf of the feudal kings. In this way, they are actually the posts of the feudal state and the court's message messenger. I believe it can appease the dissatisfaction of the princes entering the court, and will not involve the political core of the court .”

The clear voice fell, which also symbolized the end of his strategy, and the hall was silent for a while.

After a while, Qi Li stood up from the dragon seat, and the silver and vermilion dragon robe made the sound of fabric rubbing, and slowly approached Mu Yunmen.

"Cousin, please..."

The 19-year-old emperor was handsome and solemn, and helped Mu Yunmen who was kneeling up.

"Muyunmen, passed the imperial examination, and was appointed as a dragon talisman envoy. Prepare for envoys to seal the country, and formally represent the emperor's order in the golden autumn, and report the decree to all countries."

Qi Li announced in a deep voice that the lingering sound of the wooden beams in the carved beams and painted buildings lingered around the beams, deterring people's hearts.

"Ding, the first phase of the task is completed, and the reward will be [-] points. Please assign the points to the host and add points yourself."

The system voice whispered in his head, but Mu Yunmen heard it in a daze.

He was dazed, his late father's majestic appearance, Rumeng's warm and charming smile, and his aunt Empress Dowager Mu's proud figure wearing a phoenix crown, her imposing manner not inferior to a man's, came into his mind, and his eyes were a little hot.

Mu family!I finally didn't feel sorry for the Mu family!

"Thank you, Emperor Ron!"

He concealed his slightly shaken and fragile expression, and bowed his head in thanks.
