The daily life of the villain and the protagonist [Quick Transmigration]

Su Yi only lived in Fayu Temple for more than a month, and then hurried back.

But he didn't go back to the Marquis Mansion directly, but kept his car light and simple, and went straight to the palace gate as soon as he arrived in Jian'an City.

Emperor Liang was very surprised by Su Yi's sudden arrival. Seeing that Su Yi's complexion improved a lot, he showed joy, "It seems that Yi Zhi is well-raised in the monastery."

Su Yi knew that Emperor Liang was concerned about his body, so he nodded slightly, "The mountains are clean, and the abbot of Fayu Temple is a genius doctor, so my body is fine."

While speaking, he quietly winked at Emperor Liang.

He and Emperor Liang grew up together, they have the best relationship and have a natural tacit understanding.

Clean?

Emperor Liang understood, and immediately asked his servant to go to the Huxin Pavilion to play chess, saying that he wanted to play chess.

The screen retreated to the left and right, Emperor Liang twirled the chess piece with confidence, and said with a smile: "What makes Yi Zhi so solemn?"

Su Yi then fully told Emperor Liang about the refugees he met in Fayu Temple.

Emperor Liang's face darkened while listening, "Yi Zhi, you mean, in remote counties, more common people's lands have been seized?"

Su Yi nodded, "Seeing that the refugees from Qin County have been exiled to Jian'an, it shows that the embezzlement of people's land by various families has reached a very serious level."

"It's unreasonable!" Emperor Liang couldn't bear to throw down the chess piece in his hand, "No one from the lower officials reported such a big matter to me."

What made Emperor Liang angry was not only that the people were displaced because of the family's greed, but that he was blinded and trapped in the palace and became a living blind and deaf man.

As long as the aristocratic family didn't want him to know, how could he not be shocked even if no wind could enter the palace.

"The Zhao family, what a Zhao family." Emperor Liang said bitterly.

How can you allow others to snore in the place where you lie down?

Su Yi knew that the Zhao family must not be the only one that Emperor Liang held grudges in his heart.

The heat is almost up, Su Yi said in his heart.

He showed some hesitation on his face, "Your Majesty is worried about the power of the family?"

Emperor Liang and Su Yi had been close since they were young, and there was no one around at the moment. He showed a rare trace of fragility, and said dejectedly: "It's more than worrying. The family is so huge that it only covers the sky with one hand. My emperor has become a marionette."

Su Yi understood Emperor Liang's distress. The former emperor was defeated by the family because he wanted to attack the family. Daliang was just a product of the compromise and support of the major families.

For the major families, if the emperor is disobedient, it is not difficult to replace one of them.

It took decades for the two generations of emperor Liang Wudi and the first emperor Liang Wendi to gradually grasp the power of speech in the court, secretly suppress the old family, support the new family, and weaken a lot of power of the family through checks and balances. The current situation where the eight aristocratic families restrain each other.

It's a pity that the first emperor left early, and Emperor Liang came to power at a young age. The good situation was broken, and Zhao Situ, the brother of the Queen Mother Zhao, took control of the government.

Having been involved in all the major forces at a young age, Emperor Liang's heart may never have been at peace for a moment.

"Your Majesty," Su Yi cupped his hands, as if he had made up his mind, and said through gritted teeth, "I have a plan, which may relieve Your Majesty's worries."

It was the first time for Emperor Liang to see Su Yi being so solemn. Could it be that there is really a good strategy?

He sat up straight and said seriously: "Yi Zhi, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears."

"The reason for the great power of the family is that the family has been officials for generations, and through the accumulation of many generations, it has accumulated many connections and properties, with a profound foundation."

Su Yi asked back: "Your Majesty thinks, how to weaken them from the root?"

Seeing that Emperor Liang was deep in thought, Su Yi smiled lightly, "Naturally, it is to cut off their official career as officials for generations, and break their cornerstone."

To put it bluntly, it is anti-monopoly. As long as the aristocratic family cannot monopolize the official career, it will naturally decline slowly.

Emperor Liang was taken aback. He had a premonition that he might hear something about Liang's fate next. He stared at Su Yi and asked softly, "How to break its cornerstone?"

"Abolish the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, select officials through examinations, let the children of poor families and the children of aristocratic families take the examination together, and select the best." What Su Yi said is actually the imperial examination system that has been used by later generations for more than 1000 years.

Daliang's nine-rank Zhongzheng system makes it difficult for children from poor families to enter official careers, and most of the selected students from poor families are children of small aristocratic families or the landlord class.It directly caused a very serious situation of girder class faults and solidification.

Moreover, because the aristocratic family has monopolized official careers for a long time, there is no sense of crisis and competition, and they have been in comfort for a long time, resulting in the decline of talents. Even if they have talents, they are mostly piano, chess, calligraphy, painting or miscellaneous learning that is useless in the world.

There are almost no people who can really govern one side and handle local affairs...

When Su Yi was in Fayu Temple, he specially inspected the villages of common people, and the result shocked him.

The villagers worked hard for a year, and had to hand over [-]% of the grain in the field. Two meals a day were thin wheat porridge. Since they couldn't afford cloth to make clothes, many people would freeze to death every winter.

Compared with the luxurious and exquisite life of the nobility, it is a world of difference.

In such a girder, the aristocratic class maintains the prosperity on the surface by oppressing the common people, but the inside is already devastated, Shen Ke is hard to save, and social class conflicts are on the verge of breaking out.

Su Yi concluded that if no measures were taken, the world would be turned against him within ten years.

His eyes darkened, and he continued: "In this way, the natural career advantages of the aristocratic family will be directly abolished, and a large number of poor children will be able to enter the court, and the old will be reformed."

Emperor Liang's eyes lit up. He thought carefully about what the new system would look like after it was implemented. If a large number of officials from poor families could really pour in, he would be able to form a court that he could control with his own hands!

He suddenly stood up, walked around in the pavilion, lowered his head, and said while thinking, "Yi Zhi, your idea is very good, as long as it can be implemented..."

Thinking of carrying it out, Emperor Liang's fiery heart suddenly turned cold, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head.

That's right, I can think of the situation myself, wouldn't those old foxes from the ghost family not think of it?They will not give a chance to implement this system, and even if the news spreads, their own throne may not be kept.

Emperor Liang calmed down and sat back in his seat.

This feeling that there is a broad avenue in front of him but he dare not step on it, makes him feel aggrieved, even angry.

He is obviously the emperor of this country, but he is restrained everywhere, so he can only pretend to be crazy, and watch these moths and rats ruin his own country.

One day, I will clean up these rats and become the real master of this country!

Emperor Liang raised his head and said to Su Yi, "It's not the time yet."

There is something deeper in his eyes, like a silent volcano, "We need time to lay out the layout slowly, and nothing about today's events can be leaked out."

Su Yi felt the fiery anger and unwillingness coming from Emperor Liang, raised the corners of his lips, and nodded, "The minister leads the order."

It seemed that he had awakened a lion.

After talking with Emperor Liang in the palace, Su Yi started to become an official.

Only by becoming an official can Su Yi participate in this court game.

The selection of officials in Daliang has three aspects: family background, virtue, and talent.

As the son of Marquis Cheng An, Su Yi's family background is enough to be rated as a top grade.

The second is virtue, but virtue alone is not enough, just like flowers blooming on the edge of a cliff, no matter how beautiful they are, no one appreciates them.It is necessary to let the ruling and opposition parties know that the person who is appraised is "virtuous".

Therefore, in Daliang, all those who become officials will try their best to become famous.

The dignitaries who have held power and made rules for a long time have gradually summed up various ways to pave the way for their children and grandchildren.

Or by compiling books and summarizing the speeches and stories of the father and grandfather, to show the noble family background and the fragrance of virtue, such as the popular "Shishuoxinyu".

Or participate in various poetry gatherings and banquets, while using their works to become famous, while making contacts, such as the Wang surname in the previous dynasty, who became famous for "Lanting Preface".

Or, it has become a good story to be praised by the famous people in the world, such as Xie Xuan, the literary master of the former dynasty, who praised his nephew Xie Zixi as "Zhilan Yushu"...

In short, trying every means to raise and clear your name is the political wealth of this era.With fame, morality and talent can be spread far and wide, which naturally increases the bargaining chip for official evaluation.

As for Su Yi, the most indispensable thing is fame. As early as a few years ago, many talented people who had seen him wrote poems and odes for his beauty.

In the romantic and enlightened Liang Liang, who is extremely face-controlled, it seems that with beauty, he has a good character, and people also think that it is elegant for beautiful women to recite poems and compose Fu.Su Yi's reputation has spread over the years, so that he has gradually realized his title of "Jian'an's No. [-] Beauty".

As for talent, Su Yi, who has a strong learning ability, has already sorted out the original body's memory in more than a year.Having experienced the baptism of modern exam-oriented education, it is no problem for him to learn only one language.Except for the lack of aura in reciting poems and composing Fu, the rest of the learning progress can be said to be progressing by leaps and bounds.

The most wonderful thing is that Su Yi learned from Emperor Liang that Da Zhongzheng, who was in charge of the final evaluation this year, was none other than Mr. Wei, whom he met at the Feicup Banquet.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

The last thing he needs is the support of the Su family, a family that has been in business for hundreds of years.

Su Yi went to the study to find Marquis Cheng An.

Marquis Cheng An looked at about 30 years old, with a handsome face and a long beard. He was in the prime of a man's golden age. The traces of time between his eyebrows and eyes added a bit of mature charm to him.

Although Marquis Cheng'an looks elegant, he is different from other aristocratic families. When he was young, he started his career with military exploits. He fought against the Huns on the border many times, guarded the border and defended the country.

This also gave him a bit more majesty and iron-blooded temperament.

"Yi Zhi is here." Wearing a lacquered sarong crown, a long gown, and long sleeves, Marquis Cheng An knelt down in front of the desk. When he saw his beloved eldest son arrive, he put down the brush in his hand, with a nonchalant expression on his face. On the ground, his face softened, revealing a kind smile.

"Father." Su Yi saluted.

"Come forward," he carefully looked at Su Yi's slightly rosy complexion, and nodded in satisfaction, "Your health is really good, the abbot of Fayu Temple is so kind, you should thank him .”

"Come on!"

A soldier in black armor came running quickly, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Let Captain Sun withdraw a hundred taels of gold from the internal treasury and send it to Fayu Temple to add money for making sesame oil." Cheng Anhou said with a calm expression.

Su Yi clicked his tongue secretly, one hundred taels of gold was enough to buy ten thousand mu of fertile land in Daliang, even for the rich Su family, it was not a small sum.

But it can also be seen from this that Marquis Cheng'an values ​​and loves his son-in-law.

So, Su Yi said straight to the point: "Father, my son came here today because I want to discuss something with my father."

Marquis Cheng An was surprised that his son, who had always shown no desires and desires, unexpectedly came to him today on his own initiative.

He asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Su Yi looked at Marquis Cheng An with a sincere voice, "Father, my son wants to become an official."

Cheng Anhou was stunned, this was the first time he saw Su Yi's eyes like this.

In the past, Su Yi's eyes were dissociated and indifferent, because his life was short and he had nothing to ask for, nothing to look forward to, so he always carried a kind of ethereal air about him, like a censer flowing out of it, which would always come to him at any time. The drifting light smoke.

But today, Su Yi's eyes showed desire.

This desire was like a burst of vitality, giving Su Yi, who had always been like a clay puppet, a new vitality.

"But your body..." Cheng Anhou hesitated.

He has always felt indebted to this frail and sickly elder son.

When his wife was pregnant with Su Yi, she was fighting outside. At that time, the situation was chaotic. The wife was surprised by an accident and gave birth prematurely. Although she saved her eldest son, she didn't save her wife's life, and let her son have such a weak body.

Later, the war was busy, and he was not at home all year round. In order to take care of Su Yi, Cheng Anhou married his wife's concubine sister Bai Shi as his step-wife.

Fortunately, the Bai family has done very well these years.

Su Yi felt the care in Marquis Cheng'an's words, his heart warmed up, and he said with a smile: "The child admired his father since he was a child, and wanted to serve the country like his father, but he was trapped in a weak body and powerless before. But now, the child is in good health. A lot, it's time to make a career out of it."

His eyes were burning, and his voice was resonant.

"When a man walks in the world, he should aim for the world, and don't fall into mediocrity!"

Marquis Cheng An looked at Su Yi's radiant look, with a gratified smile on his face, and he couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice: "Okay, this is what my son of the Su family looks like."

After more than ten years of fighting abroad, what he looked down on the most were those sons of aristocratic families who spent their days in the shadow of their parents and talked all day.

It's just that because Su Yi was weak and feared that his life would not last long, Marquis Cheng An always indulged him, doing whatever he liked.Now that his son's health has improved, he has such great ambitions, which makes him feel very proud.

It was hard for him to imagine how long Su Yi's unwillingness and ambition would explode today. Being trapped in the mansion, Yi Zhi must be in pain.

Over the years, Marquis Cheng'an has been seeking medical treatment for Su Yi everywhere, and all the news is bad. As Su Yi's physical condition is getting worse and worse, he has given up on Su Yi's training by default, and instead put more energy on On the body of the youngest son Su Jinzhi.

Just three months ago, he had already promised the Bai family that he would be crowned heir for Su Jinzhi at the end of the year.

Thinking of the two sons-in-law, Marquis Cheng'an felt a little proud.

Although my two sons have very different personalities, they are both extremely outstanding.

The eldest son is quiet by nature, calm in work, knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has an outstanding appearance. There were even rumors among the folks that Su Yi was born weak and was jealous of God.

The youngest son has been intelligent since he was a child, but he has an out-of-the-way personality but is extremely talented in the world. He is good at making friends, values ​​love and righteousness, and knows filial piety.

Marquis Cheng'an has no doubt that no matter which child is invited to be crowned son, he can be the future head of the Su family.

However, there is only one title of prince...

He sighed in his heart, that's all, let's make up for Jinzhi and Bai's in the future, the position of son should have been exchanged, but now it's just returning to the original owner.

Marquis Cheng'an is a decisive person. Now that he has decided to give the position of son to Su Yi, he immediately changed his attitude towards Su Yi, with a serious face, and said: "Tonight, you will stay here for dinner, because father wants Make a good plan for your official career..."

Su Yi rolled his eyes when he heard that, with Marquis Cheng'an personally escorting him, his path to becoming an official was assured.
