King Xian stared intently, his expression was complicated and uncertain, and it was not until a long time later that he slowly said:

"It seems that General Wei has never been loyal to the widow from beginning to end!" He said heavily.

Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) didn't nod, but said:

"The last general is loyal to the well-being of the world and his own heart. The king gave the last general a chance to show his ambitions, and the last general should be the king to erect the law, and if the law is established, the king will be prosperous, which is complementary to each other, and it is impossible to explain the loyalty and rebellion in it. ”

"So, if the widow fails you, General Wei will leave the widow?"

"Definitely. The last general just wants to live a peaceful life and has nothing else to ask for, if the king feels that Wei Xian has hindered the king one day, please let me go, the last general is willing to be an idle cloud and wild crane, and his wife and concubine preach and teach but die, there is nothing else to ask for. ”

"Hmph, hahahaha......" King Xian suddenly laughed, Bai Liyan's heart also sank, this was the first time he was so bold and reckless, and he didn't know if he was really bold, or if the ghost made a god, he could say such a rebellious words that were enough to kill him without scruples.

While thinking about it, King Xian changed his words and said:

"General Wei is quick to talk, and he wants to leave after throwing the mess to the widow, but the widow does not allow it and does not agree. You don't think, you don't think! King Xian's right hand pointed hysterically at Baili Yan and roared, suddenly stood up, paced two steps back and forth, and said: "Look at you, from Jiangdong back then to Yongxing River today, which one is not due to you Wei Xian." You want the widow to get rid of you, don't think about it. ”

The dramatic turn of the situation is unexpected, not so much that King Xian is willful and abuses power, but that King Xian at this time is wise and foolish.

King Xian, who had just come to power at that time, had great expectations for Gongsun Yue, but now he has fallen from one extreme to another, and at the same time, he is emotionally unacceptable, and reality oppresses him to maintain his privileges, so he can only make a desperate bet.

The advantage of the centralization of aristocratic privileges is the stability of the monarchy, as long as the elite class is encircled, all major state affairs can be smoothly passed.

However, the disadvantage is that the elite class has lost its original intention of fighting for it at the beginning of the founding of the country after the reproduction of generation after generation, and the class solidification caused by slavery and the old aristocratic feudal system has made the elite degenerate and corrupt, hoping to use the power at hand to control the power and wealth of the country forever, rather than seeking to be enterprising and innovative.

The result is a serious lack and decay of the elite to govern the country, which in turn leads to the monarch wanting to employ people, either to promote from the elite, or to appoint new people, and then support a faction of the elite, such as Gongsun Yue and others.

However, the first criterion for the Xian Wang, who had no experience in governing the world and was seriously out of touch with the common people, was not what welfare and benefits could be brought to the lower class with the largest proportion of the country, but how to consolidate his own royal power first, and whether the newcomers could propose policies that were novel and balanced with the old aristocratic system.

The appearance of Gongsun Yue just catered to the appetite of King Xian, but he did not know that Gongsun Yue's real mission was to take advantage of the existing shortcomings of the old aristocratic system of Xianguo, and use the so-called "change" that King Xian hoped to further aggravate the contradiction between the people at the bottom of the Xian Kingdom and the ruling class, and then pave the way for the ideological school to talk eloquently and plan a new pattern.

Under the situation of serious disconnection and rebellion between consciousness and reality, King Xian did not know the sufferings of the people, did not know the gains and losses of employing people, blindly pursued exaggerated and useless empty words, seriously ignored the changes and turbulence of the times, and the unstoppable historical trend, brought about by the great changes of the times, which are destroying the old aristocratic system and giving birth to a new system.

This great change is not only marked by iron tools, the iron age has come in full swing, resulting in the contradiction between material demand and productive forces, but also the contradiction between slaves and the old aristocratic system, after the popularization of iron tools, the mismatch between productive forces and production relations and systems, and further intensified contradictions.

At present, almost everyone, even first-class ideological strategists such as Uncle Guang and Uncle Kuo, have never been aware of this great historical change, but Xiong Tan Dao has faintly realized it.

The king will no longer be a fixed and existing power class, they advocate the idea of becoming a king or losing a king, and a capable person can be crowned king, and be the first to realize the great changes of the times, often with the change of productive forces.

When the system seriously hinders the development of the productive forces, the contradictions will be further intensified with the growth of the population, and it is precisely because of the development of the productive forces and the backwardness of reality that the Xiong Scholars set their sights on the only Xian country in the hinterland of the Central Plains that is smaller in size and has the weakest productive forces.

Only by piercing the puss of Xianguo can the new forces grow. Gongsun Yue is in line with King Xian, or the common problem of the current elite class in various countries.

King Xian is out of shape at this time, whether it is true feelings, it is all a catharsis of feelings generated by the out-of-control situation, he still wants his own royal power, but he hopes that capable people will clean up the mess for him.

Bai Liyan's original intention was not to be a royalist, he also hoped to promote the fundamental adjustment of the productive forces and production relations, but he would not take drastic measures, but step by step, using more scientific and moderate means to complete the change of the times.

At this time, Bai Liyan was silent and never spoke, for fear that she would anger Jiang Hai by saying more. At this time, the king of Xian said:

"Why don't you speak!"

"The last general will lose his word, please punish the king's sin."

"What is General Wei's crime, if he is guilty of telling the truth, how can Gongsun Yue ever tell the truth to the widow. General Wei just said that he wanted to establish the law and uphold the king. The widow asks you, if the widow legislates, General Wei will be loyal to the widow! ”

"This ...... The protector of the law is more loyal to the law, and the king must follow the law in the end. ”

"Okay, I hope General Wei doesn't forget what he said tonight."

The legal system is an institutional system that guarantees basic social fairness and rights, and only by following a guarantee system that matches the productive forces of the times can the political power and those in power consolidate their own governance.

I don't know what Uncle Guang and King Xian said in the end, and I don't know what thoughts Uncle Guang realized, King Xian wants to respect the law, it is obviously not the crystallization of Uncle Guang's wisdom, it should be an experiment for King Xian to maintain his position and reverse the current situation. After all, at this moment, Xianguo has no more room for strategic choice.

In Bai Liyan's view, Xianguo is now in ruins, especially the political space is in a vacuum, with excellent opportunities and space to break the old aristocratic system and reshape the power structure.

Before dawn, Bai Liyan gave a detailed explanation of the development of the case and the expansion of the scope of the investigation, and King Xian did not hesitate at all, and complied with all the requests.

At dawn, Baili Yan slept for two hours in the palace with his eyes closed, and the king of Xian did not have an early dynasty that day, and announced that from now on, until the murder of the great Sima Jiang Yan was solved, the king of Xian was filial piety in front of the queen mother, but in fact he was shrinking his forces for the upcoming palace change.

After Jiang Yan's death, the Queen Mother's condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and Baili Yan Tianliang went to check the pulse of the Queen Mother, which was incurable, which was a series of complications caused by the typical three highs.

Diabetes is particularly serious, and the lower limbs have ulcerated, and the reason why it has been delayed until now is largely due to the secret recipe made by the palace doctor with yew and aged wine to lower blood sugar and blood lipids.

On the one hand, it is the cold ice supplied by Yongxing City, since Yongxing City supplied ice, King Xian also gave priority to the Queen Mother to supply ice cubes to cool down, otherwise in such a hot weather, the Queen Mother will not be able to live until now, which also shows that King Xian's feelings for the Queen Mother are still quite deep, even if the country's politics and future are incompatible, the mother is a mother after all.

As for yew, it is rich in red taxel, which is an excellent pharmaceutical preparation for the treatment of cancer and diabetes, even if it is a modern pharmaceutical, the price of a kilogram of high-purity red taxel is more than one million US dollars, and the Chinese medicine of sequoia tree has long been used to treat diseases such as thirst, that is, diabetes.

Nowadays, the Central Plains has a wider understanding of yew, and knows that the bark, leaves, and wood of yew are soaked in the unique plant juice of the Central Plains in the world, and then a light red liquid is obtained, which is actually a taxel substance diluted by chemical reaction.

After three years of aging of rice wine, you can get a fragrant medicinal wine, which can be taken with medicinal wine, which can relieve the dizziness caused by high blood pressure and reduce the symptoms of thirst. It was this kind of home remedy that the queen mother was able to lower blood sugar and survive until now. Of course, the purity may not be as good as that of taxel purified by modern processes, but the lack of purity can be offset by the amount.

With Jiang Yan's death, the queen mother's unspeakable past disappeared, the lover is dead, why is the beauty gasping, the queen mother is unconscious for two consecutive days, and returning to heaven is the time of these few days. Even if King Xian is hard-hearted, when the family relationship is really at the end, the queen mother is still her mother, who can be ruthless.

The early dynasty was suspended, and King Xian's excuse was reasonable, and in addition to discussing it, no one in the Manchu Dynasty did not know how to raise objections. After all, the queen mother is critically ill, how can the king not keep the reason before the bed.

Gongsun Yue presided over the discussion as always, and after collecting the minister's notebook, he went to the State Administration for official business.

Public opinion on the murder of the great Sima Jiang Yan is boiling, and Gongsun Yue, as the prime minister and the queen mother's party, has received special attention from the civil and military. As soon as the discussion ended, Gongsun Yue found Wei Xu and Gao Chongan.

"Lord Wei, Lord Gao, I don't know if the culprit who poisoned Da Sima can be found."

"Oh, no trace has been found. However, the suspicion of the Xuanting Marquis Mansion has been ruled out, and the lower officials are making every effort to investigate the Red Lantern Garden. Wei Xu said, but he didn't deliberately hide it. On the contrary, when Gongsun Yue was about to be brought down, he was missing the big tree of Da Sima.

Gongsun Yue sighed and said:

"Da Sima has worked all his life for the country and the people, but in the end he doesn't want to be harmed by the villains, which is a pity......"

Wei Xu and Gao Chongan couldn't help but be secretly ridiculous, but they couldn't put it on their faces. Sidian Gao Chongan took over the conversation and said:

"The things of the predecessors and the future generations have their own opinions, so how can we make a conclusion. The king urged him tightly, and Master Wei and I had to do our best to supervise it, and the next official would leave. ”

Gao Chong'an bowed a little and was about to leave, and Gongsun Yue asked again:

"Lord Gao, the king of the dynasty has issued a royal decree, asking all the officials and nobles in the city of Chengling and their sons and disciples to go to the county government to extend their fingerprints one by one, I don't know why?"

"Oh, it's General Wei's new law for judging cases. There is no resemblance between the fingerprints of this man and that of men, so there must be fingerprints left on every object. Lord Wei used acid to hydrate silver, which is the evil technique used by the black turban traitors, to make the fingerprints visible, and then extended them and compared each fingerprint one by one, so that you can know who left the fingerprints on the utensils. Gao Chongan said proudly, as if he had discovered the technology.

Gongsun Yue did not change after hearing the news, as if he had no intention of saying:

"If you admit it wrong, you will miss a big thing."

Wei Xu nodded:

"What Xiang Guo said is not bad, yesterday from the evidence to extend the fingerprints, there are many overlapping and interlaced, it is not easy to identify, fortunately, General Wei is well-informed, and it is indeed reasonable. It will take time to identify the differences between different fingerprints one by one, which is also the disadvantage of fingerprint recognition. ”

Wei Xu and Gao Chong'an said everything, and then parted ways with Gongsun Yue outside the state political prison, went out of the palace and returned to the county guard, copied the decree of King Xian, and issued an edict to all the nobles and rich people in the city, and within two days I personally went to the county government to extend the fingerprint, but anyone who could not be impersonated would be punished by the same party.
