Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1069

[Chapter 1060 Civilization]

“This Ge Yiren is just a grassroots person. The subordinates have never understood why the emperor still keeps him.”

Li San did not have a very good impression of Ge Yiren, although he did not understand what Ge Yiren did to him. Things that are not good for the empire, but he is so cautious, which always makes him suspicious.

“I don’t want to keep him, but this kind of person still has a lot of uses. At least the effect of letting him promote New Confucianism is good. If it is ordinary people, neither common people nor officials will accept the ideas of New Confucianism.”

“That’s true. , This Ge Yiren had a huge influence among the Confucian scholars in the past. Since he followed the emperor’s promotion of New Confucianism, many Confucian scholars had to change. After all, Ge Yiren was an important figure in Confucianism before and set an example for Confucian scholars all over the world.”

Xiao Mingdian. He nodded. Confucianism could be said to be the state religion in the former Great Chongqing Kingdom. In the process of establishing the empire, he inherited the heritage of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, instead of pushing everything back like the real founding emperor. This is what the current empire is like. The reason why so many questions remain.

This Confucianism is one of the legacies. In fact, he did not completely abolish Confucianism, but took the method of removing its dregs and extracting its essence, so that Confucianism, which was pulling the empire back, became a positive force.

“That’s why I use him. Ruling the country is not just based on my personal preferences. He can best achieve my goals. It is worthwhile to give him the position of Pavilion Elder.” Xiao Ming said.

Then he looked at Ge Yiren’s memorial and continued: “But you still have to keep an eye on his every move. From this incident, it is enough to see that Ge Yiren is still a two-faced man and cannot be taken lightly.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. “Li San bowed and said.

After giving orders to Li San, the two discussed other information about the empire, and then Xiao Ming asked Li San to go back.

After Li San disappeared in the imperial study, Qian Dafu said: “Your Majesty, it seems that this decree has indeed offended most of the nobles. The Queen Mother’s words are still reasonable. The Emperor should be careful. From the perspective of this old slave, the empire is now No one has the power to rebel, and they themselves know it very well. Under such circumstances, they are afraid that they will adopt more covert plots, including murdering you, the emperor. “

“So I will strengthen the security of the palace.” Xiao Ming smiled. He said that Qian Dafu’s vision was relatively accurate. Through two subversive measures, military reform and political reform, he now firmly holds the empire’s political and military power in his hands.

No matter how dissatisfied the nobles were with this policy, they did not have the power to create trouble through force. At most, they would just scold him behind his back as an unjust and ignorant king.

However, because they cannot use incentives to oppose him, they will instead take covert actions to undermine the decree he introduced. I am afraid that the conflicts surrounding the privileges of the old aristocracy will continue to fight for some time in the future.

In fact, the purpose of his decree this time was not to completely eliminate the nobility, because he understood that the old nobility disappeared and the new nobility would be reborn. Throughout the ages, a small group of people always have the majority of rights, and a small group of people have the majority of rights. For most of the wealth, as long as private ownership exists, it is impossible for mankind to establish a harmonious society. This is the pyramid social structure of mankind after the birth of private ownership.

But even so, the solidified pyramid structure is terrible. He just wants to make the pyramid fluid. Common people can get to the top of the pyramid through study and hard work. People at the top will naturally decline to the bottom if they don’t work hard.

Instead of retaining the situation where the Chongqing Kingdom used the power of the empire to support the entire royal family, the wealthy and powerful families monopolized resources and relied on exploiting the people for thousands of years. After all, if this state is maintained, the entire society will lack vitality. This is why the great people in the past The reason why Chongqing has lagged behind the West for so many years.

“It is naturally necessary to strengthen the security of the palace. Also, let the old slave taste the emperor’s meals from now on.” Qian Dafu said seriously.

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Ming frowned. Sometimes reality is so cruel. It would be honorable for him to die in a foreign war, but it would be aggrieved if he was poisoned to death. And the current fact is , there are probably many people who want him dead, and now there are more people after the implementation of this decree.

Regardless of whether he is the person who led the empire to become rich and powerful, now that he has touched other people’s cakes, he is a mortal enemy in the eyes of these people. After all, no matter how history develops, there will always be a group of people who only care about their own gold and silver, and do not care about the country and the people. of life and death.

“It’s hard for you. It’s just that there are fewer and fewer people around me that I can trust. The description of this lonely person is quite appropriate.” Xiao Ming smiled bitterly.

Qian Dafu laughed, “This old slave has no children and no worries in his life. He can only pledge his life to the country, serve the emperor, and leave a name in history in the future.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming suddenly laughed. He said to Qian Dafu: “No problem. In the future, I will build an imperial palace of meritorious officials, and you will be included in it, so that future generations can look up to you.”

Qian Dafu’s face turned red with excitement. He was also a scholar, but it was due to bad luck that he became a scholar. Although he was in such a situation, he still had the idea of learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor’s family. “

“In this way, the old slave will die without regrets. ” Tears shone in Qian Dafu’s eyes.

Xiao Ming patted Qian Dafu’s shoulder at this time. Since he came to this world, there are very few people around him who can truly trust him.

Qian Dafu has been working hard since he followed him to establish the foundation of Liuzhou. It’s tiring work with the least reward. That’s why he takes more care of his relatives.

Some people say that emperors are ruthless, but people’s hearts are full of flesh. That’s just outsiders having to make cold-blooded decisions about emperors .

Miao was just

talking.

At this time, a young eunuch came to the door and bowed and said, “Your Majesty, Chief Pang has arrived. “

Let him in.” “Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun was the initiator of the decree against the nobility. That day he mentioned the matter of private schools with the intention of attacking Feipei and his gang.

Xiao Ming just followed the trend, and in this way he lost some of the old aristocrats However

, he has received the full support of the upstarts like Pang Yukun.

Compared with Fei Pei, Tang Guogong and others, Pang Yukun and others have been with him for a long time and have been completely assimilated by him. Although they are also real nobles, they are quite good. He was low-key, treated the people as equals, and could be said to be very close to the people. This was what he asked other nobles to imitate. Unfortunately, the behavior of people like Pang Yukun was out of place in the eyes of people like Fei Pei, and they were always looked down upon.

“Your Majesty.” Pang Yukun seemed a little disheartened and said, “After the newspaper published the decree, many nobles vented their resentment on the officials. The officials received a lot of looks from them all the way to the palace.”
