The aristocratic family has done quite a lot of bad deeds behind the scenes, occupying land privately, and even the aristocratic family has raised soldiers. They have done so many things that violate the laws of Daqi, and have already challenged the prestige of the Wei Dynasty. , with a profound background, no king of the Wei family dared to do anything to the family.

Attacking one family is declaring war on all the families. This move will undoubtedly shake the foundation of Daqi severely.The Wei emperor was in a daze and needed the support of his family, so he was unwilling to tear himself apart with the family. The nobles of the family became more and more unscrupulous, ignored the imperial power, and committed many transgressive things.

Now that an in-depth investigation has been carried out, it has also been found that the aristocratic family has forcibly enclosed the peasant households into their own backyards and turned the good people into domestic slaves.

The several villages at the foot of the Son of Heaven were all taken over as private property by several big families, and both the fields and the farmers became the private property of those families.

Those aristocratic families with large family fortunes are simply small dynasties separated from the Wei Dynasty. Not to mention raising captive farmers as domestic slaves, they also cut off most of the tribute to the emperor from wealthy lands.The fish and meat villagers only support a family, and the villagers in the family's territory are simply miserable.

The family's move completely angered Gu Lingchuan.

Gu Lingchuan did not quarrel with the aristocratic family, the army dispatched, and cut off half of the evil aristocratic families, exiled half of them into the army, confiscated all the family properties, and sent the peasants who were privately enslaved by the other party back to the peasants. Register, and return all the fields.

Gu Lingchuan's inhuman behavior aroused the anger of the family, and they gathered together to force Gu Lingchuan to give up the throne.

Gu Lingchuan is in control of Daqi's army, and he is really not afraid that the family will be twisted into a rope to act as a monster. Anyone who opposes it will be ransacked and exiled. , dare not have the slightest intention of resistance.

Gu Lingchuan, who controls Daqi's army, doesn't need the support of aristocratic families and officials, as long as his fists are hard enough, he can knock down one by one if he refuses to accept it.

If an official threatens to dismiss him, that would be a better solution. Talented people come out from generation to generation. There is no shortage of talents who want to contribute to the country at any time. If another official takes office, the Daqi court can still operate as usual.

Gu Lingchuan played so unreasonably that no one could accept the move. No matter how he opposed it, even he himself would end up with no official position. In the end, he could only obediently obey the tough new emperor.

Da Qi imperial court, so completely under the control of Gu Lingchuan.

"Chongqing's family, come on, let's talk about the reorganization of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment today. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

Gu Lingchuan let go of Fu Cheng's hand, which he had been playing with for a long time, straightened up, his expression straightened, his whole person was majestic, and he lowered his eyes and said to the courtiers standing with their heads bowed above the court.

"I report to Your Majesty, I have a proposal! I propose to merge the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites, with the Ministry of Households as the main body and the Ministry of Rites as a supplement. Your Majesty advocates that everything should be simplified, and the Ministry of Rites should also reduce its personnel. The Ministry of War needs to be integrated with the front-line troops, so that orders can be issued. Directly, without delaying the military aircraft. According to Yichen, the Ministry of Punishment should set up a separate branch to supervise corrupt officials and prevent them from exploiting the common people!"

A young official heard the words and quickly stepped out, his eyes burning.

Another minister also came forward to speak.

"The minister reconsidered, and the minister has another proposal. The Foundry Department of the Ministry of War should increase expenditures. Corrupt officials have stolen the income from their homes. They can allocate part of it to the military for research and development of weapons. Weapons can influence the situation of the war. If the weapons are too bad, our soldiers will definitely wear out. It’s more important, it’s better to recruit capable people and strangers to enter the foundry department of the military department to improve weapons.”

Gu Lingchuan nodded when he heard the words: "Yes. Zhang Shilang, you can discuss with the Ministry of War and figure out how much more expenses need to be increased."

Zhang Shilang came out and said respectfully: "Observe the order." Then he returned to the ranks of officials.

"As for capable people and strangers, who are the favorites?" Gu Lingchuan glanced at the officials below.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend! This person has developed a kind of fire powder. When it is ignited, there will be thick smoke billowing. If it is poured into an earthen pot and ignited, it will explode. I think that fire powder can be used for military equipment!"

Under the call of the emperor, the young officials spoke freely, and the silence above the court was quickly broken.

"Absurd! Absurd indeed!"

Hearing what the young courtiers said, the one-year-old minister was so angry that his beard straightened. He fell to the ground with a plop, walked on his knees for a while, and bowed to the ground, hoping to impress the wayward emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven should regard the sky as his father. Therefore, worshiping the sky and observing the stars is a major event. This matter is related to the fate of the country. It must not be ignored! Your Majesty has already killed too much when he took the throne. It is inevitable that heaven will punish you in the future. The Ministry of Rites will kill you every day." Sheep and cattle are sacrificed to comfort the gods and prevent disasters from the wrath of the heavens. So, the Ministry of Rites is at a time when it has a heavy responsibility, how can it cut expenses at will and merge it into the Ministry of Households? Lizi is absurd, extremely absurd!"

The young emperor, who was listening intently to the words of his courtiers, showed displeasure on his face: "Tsk, I think it is ridiculous to worship geniuses every day. The servant of the Ministry of Rites is old and weak, and his will is faint. Mr. Li sent him home, and gave him three sticks of century-old ginseng and one hundred taels of silver, and passed on my order to let Mr. Li go back to his hometown to cultivate himself."

The Minister of Rites looked at Fu Cheng expectantly.

Fu Chengzheng thought about what the courtier said, and after thinking about it, he felt that these young officials whom he regarded as stunned young officials had great ideas, and their proposals were indeed feasible. If they could be implemented, Daqi's national strength would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Naturally, Fu Cheng didn't notice Mr. Li's earnest gaze, but instead nodded his head in praise and said, "This discussion is very kind."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites saw that the regent also agreed with the young official's opinion, and his beard trembled with anger. The king did whatever he wanted, and the regent is now being held hostage by the king. If he didn't think that the king would ransack his home if he disagreed with him, he would be angry on the spot Scold the faint king.

The Minister of Rites, who was hit hard, was helped down by the head of the house. Gu Lingchuan glanced down the court, and saw that except for a few young officials whom he had single-handedly raised to speak enthusiastically, the other officials looked at each other, dazed and disappointed.

There is still a long way to go before he completely changes Daqi.

"What Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian said is very reasonable, and I have exactly the intention. This morning, my lords, how about discussing the integration of the various ministries and sorting out a useful charter. When we leave the court, Zhang Your Excellency, Lord Xu and Lord Qian have sorted out the memorial and sent it to me, so let’s discuss it, the Lord Regent will supervise the court on my behalf.”

"Farewell to Your Majesty!" The courtier knelt down and bowed.

"Regent, please listen here. The young courtiers have their own strengths. It took me a lot of effort to gather them together. I can learn a lot from listening to them debate."

After Gu Lingchuan got up, he leaned over and told Fu Cheng.

Fu Chengwen's expression was complicated. He thought that he would only be a titular regent, but he didn't expect that Gu Lingchuan would give him real power. Isn't this person afraid that he will come back and threaten him?

Gu Lingchuan didn't feel anything wrong at all, and said softly: "Of course, if He Xuan is tired, you can go back to the bedroom to rest first."

Fu Cheng lowered his eyes and shook his head: "No, I can listen to their discussions here."

Looking at Fu Cheng whose breath was exceptionally gentle, Gu Lingchuan smiled.

Under his strong attack, Fu Cheng, who originally only had the mentality of a strong man, unknowingly took on a weak posture when facing him. This man has already surrendered to him physically and mentally. , but also has a unique charm.

Thinking of the lingering night, Fu Cheng didn't resist at all, he made movements according to his own will, clinging to his teary eyes, Gu Lingchuan felt a flame in his heart, he felt that he was a little addicted to the man in front of him.

In this world, it is not impossible to live with Fu Cheng for the rest of his life.

Gu Lingchuan was no longer worried that Fu Cheng still wanted to win the throne, he looked down at the green ring he was wearing, and thought that it was time to solve the last task in this world.

Gu Lingchuan went to see Mrs. Su.

Su Taifu assisted Fu Chengyu to abolish Gu Lingchuan. Although Gu Lingchuan could understand his grandfather's thoughts, he wanted to rectify the high-ranking family and did not want the family to have the ability to make a comeback. Therefore, the leader of the family, the Su family owned The land was also taken back by Gu Lingchuan.

The Su family did not do evil things such as turning peasant households into domestic slaves. Gu Lingchuan only took back the title of Su Taifu, and the Su family became ordinary nobles, without the glory of a prosperous family.

When entering the Su family's mansion, the butler bowed down to Gu Lingchuan with a complex expression. Gu Lingchuan nodded, and went straight to the study, where he saw Mrs. Su who was flipping through books.

"Cousin!" Su Miaolian, who was beating her grandfather's back, her eyes lit up, she called out.

Su Taifu was a little stooped, he glanced at Su Miaolian, and was about to kneel down and salute Gu Lingchuan.

"Grandpa, you've ruined Lingchuan." Gu Lingchuan helped Grand Tutor Su and rubbed the head of Su Miaolian who came closer. Su Miaolian squinted and smiled, and Grand Tutor Su looked at Su Miaolian again, with a displeased look on his face.

Su Miaolian avoided her grandfather's gaze and stuck out her tongue at Gu Lingchuan: "Cousin, grandma is angry with you and has been crying for several days. Grandpa is also very upset. But Zhang Qi said that what cousin did was It is a great thing to benefit the country and the people, so Miaolian is with you, you should visit Miaolian often, and remember to bring a book for Miaolian!"

Zhang Qi is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, surnamed Zhang, who is betrothed to Su Miaolian.

Su Miaolian pondered, the books brought by the emperor were considered gifts from the emperor, presumably her grandfather could not stop her from reading those books.

Su Taifu's expression became more and more displeased: "Miao Lian, don't talk nonsense, pay your respects to Your Majesty!"

"Oh, you are no longer a cousin, you are the emperor's cousin." Su Miaolian rolled her eyes and bowed: "Then I will become a princess?"

"Grandmother is angry? It's okay, when the weather is fine, grandpa and grandma will go to Jin'an Temple to live for a while, and listen to Master Huitong's explanation of Buddhism, and all the knots will be eliminated."

Gu Lingchuan already knew that his dealing with the aristocratic family would cause displeasure to the Su family, but he still acted according to his will and was noncommittal about his attitude towards the ancestor's family.

"Grandpa, today's visit is to discuss something about my cousin. I want to bring my cousin into the palace, and I need your permission."

Gu Lingchuan said.
