Chapter 115 is not optimistic
During this time, Pan Long had a doubt.
Where did these officials in Donghua County get the confidence to distort the orders of the imperial court?
The core of the Diluo Southern Reform was to check the assets of various forces in Great Xia, so as to weaken them in a targeted manner in order to regain wealth and power. All policies revolve around this core, either to escort it, or to follow up after this core task has been completed.
It is no exaggeration to say that whether or not this core task can be successful or not is related to whether or not the entire law change can be successful. If the beginning doesn't go well, even if Di Luonan can use a lot of evidence to make the ministers speechless, it will be in vain.
...... It was impossible for him to convince the entire Great Xia county by county.
In fact, Pan Long felt that if Di Luonan really debated and persuaded from county to county and then carried out reforms, it would seem to be good. It must have taken a long time, but at least it was not very easy to get into trouble.
But Di Luonan was obviously unwilling to spend so much time, and neither was Da Xiazi.
Being able to start the pilot in Xiazhou and Qingzhou first, and then gradually promote it to the entire Great Xia Kyushu, is already the result of the efforts of the ministers.
What we are doing now is to prepare for the change of law and verify the assets.
Only by finding out the family background of the various forces in Great Xia can we have a target and truly carry out the reform.
However, this preparation alone does not seem to be smooth.
In Donghua County alone, officials and officials blatantly distorted the imperial court orders. When checking the assets of the people, the baht must be compared, and if it can be high, it should be as high as possible; when the wealthy and large households are checked...... Oh, there is no "inventory of wealthy households" at all, they all directly let the other party register by themselves.
If the matter is done at this point, it is simply a slap in the face of Di Luonan and even Di Renchen, even if the Donghua County Order is ignored, won't those patrol envoys in the imperial court report to the top? After Di Luonan's murderer found out, shouldn't he say something?
Or does he plan to wait a while, give these people a chance to perform first, and wait until next year, when the preparation period is over, and when he starts to really pilot the law change, he will start to rectify it?
Pan Long felt that this might not work.
Treatment should be started when the disease is mild, and when the disease is severe, the patient often has to rely on the doctor for three points and God for seven points. The same is true for governing the country, since we see the problem, we should quickly solve the problem, how can it be dragged on like this?
Now that we are rectifying, we should be able to solve the problem as long as we punish some officials. If it is delayed until next year, I am afraid that I will have to lose a bunch of heads.
Or...... Di Luonan did it on purpose, wanting to wait for next year to use these heads to deter the Quartet, so as to promote the smooth development of the law change?
Pan Long guessed before that this is the possibility.
After all, Di Luonan has a bad track record of committing massacres, and it is not surprising that such a mad guy can do anything.
Maybe he will do something for the benefit of the country and the people, but that doesn't prevent him from taking the opportunity to do something like a river of flesh and blood.
But Bian Deming's words made him think of a more layer.
The root of Dilonan's change is nothing more than to cut the flesh of the wealthy and big, subsidize the state finance, and reduce the burden on the people. But in fact, the Great Xia Dynasty was established for thousands of years, and the imperial relatives - that is, those wealthy families collectively known as "Zhu Zhao", they have already accumulated huge wealth.
If you really need money, shouldn't you go after these people first?
Cutting Zhu Zhao's flesh, first, is a private matter of the emperor's family, and no one can stop it; second, as long as Zhu Zhao has blood, and then forces other wealthy families to bleed, that is, standing on the commanding heights of morality, the effect will inevitably be better.
But after Bian Deming's reminder, he found out that so far, he had not heard that Zhu Zhao had reacted to the change.
They seem to have become a swarm of hibernating snakes and insects, dormant in the depths of the dirt, motionless, waiting for future opportunities.
Obviously, this situation is absolutely not normal and completely unreasonable!
If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, and as the Zhao who has the closest relationship with the Great Xia Emperor's family, their news is naturally the most well-informed. What might their reaction at this moment mean in itself?
Thinking of this, he said: "If the emperor's family does not move Zhu Zhao, shouldn't Zhu Zhao take the initiative to stand up and share the worries of the emperor's family? To put it bluntly, Zhu Zhao and the emperor's family are in the relationship between the side branch and the sect chief, and if the sect chief is in difficulty, the side branch should be the first to come forward. ”
Bian Deming sighed: "Who says it's not! The family under the whole world, but if there is no enmity, even if the family is separated, after all, it is still a blood relative." The sect leader is in difficulty, and even if the branch does not help, it should at least make some efforts. But so far, Zhu Zhao has not moved at all, and the officials have not touched the wealthy families, but have made it difficult for the small people to be promoted...... In my opinion, I'm afraid that Zhu Zhao has united and is putting pressure on the emperor's family. ”
Pan Long was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that this might be a joint act of Zhu Zhao and the emperor's family to deceive people into the pit, but he never thought of this possibility.
In his logic, it is natural for a family to help each other, even if there are some contradictions, at least they should be united with the outside world first.
This kind of practice of jumping out and dragging his feet at the moment of great right and wrong is not like a family, but like an enemy......
"The emperor's family is the foundation, and Zhu Zhao is the side branch, if the root is damaged, can the side branch still benefit?" he couldn't help but ask.
Bian Deming shook his head: "In this world, fists are fundamental. No matter how strong the emperor's family is, after all, it is only a third-generation close relative of the Son of Heaven. Zhu Zhao is the sum of the relatives of the emperors of the past dynasties...... If there is no support from Zhu Zhao, with these people in the emperor family, what ability can they suppress the world's heroes?"
"Diluo Nan changed the law, but it was supported by the military. ”
Bian Deming laughed: "The military? Even if your own blood relatives are still like this, the military is so credible?"
He shook his head, with a mysterious smile of "you don't understand": "Little brother, you better look at the history books." In the Warring States Period, when did the general's usurpation of the throne not happen?"
Pan Long didn't believe it and argued: "But Di Luonan's change of law is the most beneficial to the military! As the beneficiary of the change, shouldn't the military support the change?"
"What is the greatest benefit under the world?" Bian Deming asked rhetorically.
Pan Long thought for a moment and said, "Immortality?"
Bian Deming choked for a moment, but he didn't expect this young man to look younger than himself, but his tone was so big.
He laughed dryly twice and said, "Immortality is good, but it is too far away from ordinary people. For ordinary people, taking over the world and becoming an emperor is the greatest benefit. ”
"But the emperor can only have one person after all. Pan Long said, "For those military dignitaries who can't be emperors, can they benefit from changing emperors?"
Bian Deming nodded: "Of course, since ancient times, the dynasty has changed, and for a period of time at the beginning, the court was the world of the military. Compared with the current situation in which the civil and military sides are on par, no matter how you look at it, it is more beneficial to the military to change the dynasty. ”
Pan Long shook his head again and again by this straightforward interest analysis, but he had to admit that this scholar had a point.
For ministers, it is best to be the Son of Heaven, but if they can't be the Son of Heaven, it is naturally not bad to take advantage of the change of dynasty to greatly expand their power.
He only thought that the military could seize power through the law change, but he never thought that the fundamental goal of the law change was to enhance the power of the emperor's family.
It's just that...... If all this is analyzed purely in terms of interests, the conclusions drawn are really chilling.
"When you analyze it like this, you always feel that there are no loyal ministers in the world. ”
"The concept of a loyal servant is inherently deceitful. Bian Deming sneered, "Everyone is two-handed, two-footed, all of them are raised by their fathers and mothers, why can the Son of Heaven be high, and the ministers should be low? If it is a saint from heaven such as Emperor Jiazi, or a peerless powerhouse such as Emperor Yihai, everyone will naturally obey him, but if the throne mountain is just a mediocre person......
He smiled, and everything was silent.
Pan Long frowned a few times before finally sighing.
"According to your analysis, Zhu Zhao is unreliable, the military is also unreliable, not to mention the civil servants and local heroes...... Wouldn't that change be too difficult to succeed?" he asked.
Bian Deming nodded: "It is impossible to succeed in the first place." In my opinion, Di Renchen is just using the law change as an excuse to force all forces to make concessions and gather some power and interests. ”
"Will Di Luonan agree?"
Bian Deming also sighed: "I don't understand, that's it." ”
He looked at the mottled moss on the wall, as if talking to himself: "Di Luonan's miraculous skills are world-famous, and he may even cultivate into a lifelong life in the future, but he is tyrannical and murderous." How could such a person be willing to work hard for many years, but in the end it was just a failure?"
"In my opinion, in the end, I'm afraid there will be a big ......mess in the end."
