An Qingxu was killed in Nanpi, Cangzhou, and Shi Siming became self-reliant and succeeded to the throne as the "Son of Dayan". This news did not cause much shock in the Chang'an government and the opposition, with the invincible Doctor Qin in charge, everyone felt that Shi Siming was already a grasshopper after the autumn and had not been jumping for a few days, and the most important thing for the people to think about was how to restore the previous peaceful life, eat and drink without worry, and there was no need to be repeatedly checked in and out of the city. The nobles of the family are eager to return to the old days of drunkenness and ecstasy immediately.

However, the fifth Qi became a nightmare for the powerful of the family, and Li Xi, the king of Huaiyang, did not know what medicine he had taken wrong, and actually donated all his family property to the imperial court in one fell swoop. Now it is good that this prime minister, who is known for his economic talent, has actually become an expert in collecting money, and he immediately took advantage of this matter to make a big fuss, intending to scrape another windfall.

The officials dared not speak out about the Fifth Qi's accumulation of wealth, but the powerful people of the family were used to being arrogant, regardless of the prime minister or the imperial doctor, and even began to secretly contact to resist the Fifth Qi's forced donations.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, from the Taizong Dynasty to the present, there has been no news of that emperor forcing donations, is this going back to the harsh government era of the Qin and Han dynasties? In order to accumulate wealth, unscrupulous means, once the ministers could not meet the emperor's demands, they threatened each other with violent means, lost their official positions, and even lost their lives.

But after all, it is not the Son of Heaven who is in power now, and Qin Jin, the imperial historian, has always been known in the name of benevolence in the government and the opposition, and many people have discussed that this must have been deceived by the Fifth Qi.

Although there are some people in the imperial court office who are faintly dissatisfied with this, they can't question it on this occasion, after all, they still want to continue to be officials, and those powerful children who like to gather in tea shops and wineries in their leisure time do not have these scruples.

"Fifth Qi dictatorship, power, wanton wealth, if he is allowed to make waves, sooner or later our family will let this person squeeze dry, you all have the strength to contribute, think of a way, can you promote a person, take this person instead!"

In the wine shop, a young man in a brocade robe and ribbon shouted with the strength of the wine, and those who can go to the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building to eat wine are either rich or expensive, such a sentence can naturally arouse many resonances.

And people's dissatisfaction with Fifth Qi is not only due to his unscrupulous means to accumulate wealth, but when he helped Xia Yuanji fight political opponents, his methods were just as ruthless and vicious.

Which family here did not have a clan folded in the hands of the two ministers?

There is one thing that is strange, no matter how angry these people are, no one has put this account on Qin Jin's head.

However, how easy is it to impeach Fifth Qi? Which of the children of the family who has serious business will linger in the teahouse and wine shop all day long? In the final analysis, most of the people who can gather here during the day are idle children, and no matter how loud the thunder is, it will not be able to exchange a few raindrops.

However, no one noticed that their words and deeds were secretly recorded one by one, and within half an hour, all the records were placed on Qin Jin's desk.

In the past few days, Fifth Qi has come to see Qin Jin every day, and when he heard that the stack of papers on his desk was about his own market news, he couldn't help but swallow nervously. After Huang Jing's anti-water incident, he always felt that he was in a deep uneasiness. Therefore, he will be extremely sensitive to any negative news involving himself.

Qin Jin keenly captured the mental activity that was not obvious to Fifth Qi, and handed him the record in front of him.

"Look at it, a lot of people are clamoring to replace you!"

He was half-joking when he spoke, but he still frightened Fifth Qi's face.

The stack of paper recorded dense names of people, and behind each name was a detailed introduction to the place of origin, knighthood, etc., in addition to a large number of records of words and deeds, so detailed that almost even someone touched his chin and spit on the record.

The more he watched, the more he sweated, he really didn't expect that the spies of the Shenwu Army had reached such a pervasive point, just a temporary scene, the spies could sort out all the relationships between the characters so clearly, and the horror was here.

Comparatively speaking, those remarks against him are not worth mentioning, and in terms of the wisdom of Fifth Qi, of course, it can be seen that Qin Jin can show himself those secret reports without hesitation, which is a sign of trust. But in addition, there may be some other meanings, the secret agents of the Shenwu Army are even pervasive in the market, let alone the political hall?

As soon as he thought of this, Fifth Qi shuddered, and constantly reminded himself that he must not be confused for a while and cast hatred for eternity.

Seeing that Fifth Qi didn't say a word for a long time, Qin Jin smiled:

"These market words are all because their vital interests have been damaged, but they are not engaged in production, and they are sitting on huge wealth, just like silverfish in Chang'an City, if the imperial court does not carry out rectification, sooner or later Chang'an City will rot like rotten wood, and completely lose its brilliance!"

Fifth Qi was surprised to find that when Qin Jin said this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes that was not easy to detect, as if what he said would become a reality.

Chang'an and Luoyang have been the capitals of all dynasties for nearly a thousand years, so how can it be said that they are decayed? Even if the war of the worst era burned Chang'an and Luoyang, these two capitals have not yet reappeared? Moreover, the light they emit is even more dazzling.

"The gentlemen of the family need to be rectified, but Chang'an and Luoyang are all thousand-year-old capitals, how can they lose their luster because of one or two silverfish?"

Qin Jin's words changed.

"How do the gentlemen of the family rectify it, do the fifth ministers have ideas?"

Fifth Qi was secretly speechless, he even felt that his thinking was a little unable to keep up with Qin Jin's thoughts, and almost every time he met, the other party raised some questions that he wanted to put in front of him.

"The gentlemen of the family seem to be rotten to the bone, but they all have a good education, if they can be tempered, they may not be able to become talents!"

He knew that he must not come up with those methods of punishment, otherwise it would leave the impression in Qin Jin's heart that he would be retribution, if he couldn't retaliate, it would be better to circle these people, such as into a private enterprise. But what Qin Jin thought of was going further.

"Very good, the preparatory school is planning to enroll the fourth batch of students, and these family gentlemen can be admitted in three, six, nine and so on, so that they don't have nothing to do all day long, and only know nonsense!"

This is what Fifth Qi didn't expect, it seems that Qin Jin is very disgusted with the powerful of the family, and he thought that he would use thunder means to strike at him, but now he is using this incredible method.

"Aren't the doctor afraid that these gentlemen will bring about the atmosphere of the Shenwu Army?"

Qin Jin smiled and said:

Pei Jing, Lu Qi, including Yang Xingben, which one was not a gentleman who did nothing all day long?"

Fifth Qi had to admit that what Qin Jin said was the truth, especially Lu Qi and Pei Jing in the Shenwu Army, who were among the best thorns in the Sixteen Wei Zhong, and with their strong family background, no one dared to provoke them. Although Yang Xingben's family background is not as good as that of Lu and Pei, his cousin is Yang Guozhong, who was in power at that time, so his majesty is not inferior to the first two.

It was precisely after Qin Jin subdued the children of these families that he used them as the backbone to revive the Shenwu Army, which had long existed in name only. Think about it carefully, in fact, until now, the rank of the Shenwu Army is above the rank of Zhonglang General accounts for at least sixty percent, and the newly promoted Tian Chenghei, Zhang Jie and others are a minority after all.

In this way, it is not impossible to turn these seemingly useless family gentlemen into treasures. This is not an easy task, but once it is done, the benefits and rewards will be tenfold and hundredfold.

"If this can be done, the magnates of the Chang'an family will enter the doctor's ......"

Qin Jin smiled, it is very easy to deal with these so-called family magnates, what is really difficult is to fix the system of selecting talents, and only by stabilizing and consolidating the system is the best choice for bureaucracy.

"If the children of the family use it well, it will be beneficial to the country, and if it is not used well, it will be the source of chaos in the country. Governing the country depends on the poor at all!"

Fifth Qi is also from a poor family, and he knows that he can't get to where he is today, almost nine out of ten are luck, that is to say, his path is irreproducible, there are too many transparent thresholds, which can be seen and touched, but there is no way to cross it.

"If the children of the poor families in the world can enter the center, it will be the blessing of my Tang Dynasty!"

With the biggest advantage of the children of the poor family, those who can enter the court have almost no waste materials, and those who rely on their family background and shadow supplement or even the identity of relatives to enter the court will inevitably be uneven. For example, Yang Guozhong is a person who completely relies on relationships to become the prime minister, but this person is still an incompetent person, and when facing life and death, it will inevitably affect the court.

This truth is known to Qin Jin and Fifth Qi, but they can't say it explicitly.

"In addition to the preparatory school, there is also the imperial examination. In the coming year, in the coming year, the imperial court will give priority to the imperial examination, and the examination will be the second......!

These measures were put in the past, which was unthinkable for the children of the poor family, and now there are rules that have been popular in the court for hundreds of years, distinguishing officials with clear and turbid currents, and officials from the big families are clear streams, and officials from poor families are turbid, and the big families have been inspected and appointed as officials, often with a very high starting point. And the children of the poor family are admitted to the imperial examination, and even if they win the champion, they are just a county lieutenant in the county. The discrimination and hardship are only known to those who have experienced it firsthand.

Later, he was sent to Xin'an County to become a small county lieutenant, but who would have imagined that the little county lieutenant of the year had now become a powerful minister of the government and the opposition, and even the Son of Heaven was in control and applause.
