Hearing this, Lin Feng faintly noticed the contradictions between the courtiers, and couldn't help but be vigilant.

The monarch and the ministers are not in harmony, the government is difficult to do, the ministers are not in harmony, and the government is not peaceful.

He has been fighting abroad all the year round, and all the political affairs of the DPRK and China are handled by the six ministers, and if there is a discord between the courtiers, it will seriously affect the accessibility of government decrees, the handling of government affairs, and even the country's military and political affairs.

Moreover, the order to seek talents, the order to recruit talents from the vassal states has not yet been lifted, and there is infighting among the important ministers of the court, and the news comes out, how can the warriors of the vassal states continue to pour into the Yan country and contribute to the Yan country.

It is bound to greatly affect the image of Yanguo, and continue to attract talents, for fear that the expected benefits will not be obtained.

At this moment, the ministers were arguing, Lin Feng asked with words, and the ministers instantly remained silent and became silent.

Lin Feng was so shrewd, the ministers were silent, and he realized more and more that things were boring.

Suddenly angry, slapped his palm on the desk, got up suddenly, jumped like thunder, and shouted: "What the hell is going on, are you not preparing to bully the king, and the imperial power that is empty of me will not succeed?" ”

A loud bang spread throughout the warm pavilion, and the tea in the teacup on the desk also splashed out, Lin Feng's face was hideous, standing on the high platform, staring at the ministers with fierce eyes, with an aggressive posture.

The Son of Heaven was angry, the ministers were frightened, their faces were terrified, they hurriedly got up, knelt down one after another, and shouted again and again: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" ”

In the hearts of the monarchs and ministers, Lin Feng is always arrogant and domineering, but he is approachable and meritocracious to the ministers, and rarely makes a big fuss in front of the ministers.

"Spare your life, spare your life, I want to know the truth of the matter, what is the use of taking your life?" Lin Feng was furious, extremely disappointed in this group of people, and he was so disappointed that he handed over the government to them and believed in them.

If it weren't for today's events, he wouldn't know that the ministers of the court and the central government would have worked together when they overcame obstacles and weathered difficulties together.

Now there is a rift between the ministers, if it is not quickly smoothed down, let it develop, and continue to hand over the government to them, it is strange that there will be no trouble in the Yan Kingdom!

Glancing fiercely at the officials begging for mercy on the ground, Lin Feng's sword-like gaze focused on Situ and shouted, "Situ, what's going on?" ”

Situ gasped and raised his head, turned his head and stared at Wen Jishi tremblingly, and said with a displeased expression: "Your Majesty, Weichen suggests that this matter be discussed by Master Wen in detail?" ”

The matter was provoked by the local Wenchen of Yan State, Wen Jishi, as the leader of Wenchen, Situ hopes that Wen Jishi will have the courage to take on this matter, tell the cause and effect of the matter, and take advantage of the fact that the matter has not yet developed out of control, make amends in advance and save the situation.

After all, the seriousness of the matter, Situ, as the secretary of the ministry, would not be clear.

At this moment, the emperor was furious, and he hoped that through the emperor's hand, this matter would be solved perfectly, otherwise if the matter got out of control, it would bring very serious harm to the Yan Kingdom.

Wen Jishi glared at Situ fiercely, swallowed his saliva, his face was cold, and he didn't know how to explain it to Lin Feng.

He knew what Lin Feng hated, back then, the big family tried to control the government, and he was uprooted, and the blood flowed like a river, and the children of the big family of the court, except for a few talented people, the rest of the people were all eliminated.

Now, the DPRK and China have formed a faction, touching the emperor's scales, and he is really afraid that after the facts are clarified, the ministers of the DPRK and China will be implicated, and he is afraid that it will cause bloodshed again.

If you don't say it, I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry again, and if you don't belittle him, you will also be sent to the frontier!

After thinking about it, Wen Jishi felt the need to tell the emperor about the matter, although he was the leader of the Wenchen of the Yan State, he rarely participated in the factional disputes between the DPRK and China, and the relationship with Situ was not completely rigid.

Coughed lightly, got up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, no matter whether Lord Li or Lord Chu recommends or opposes General Zhao Hongru as the commander, they are all local ministers and vassal state ministers. So..."

Hearing this, understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Lin Feng's face became hideous and unhappy, and his eyes swept over Wen Jishi, Situ and the others.

The sharp arrow seemed to be the gaze, exuding a cold and vicious aura, and there was a bit of murderous smell.

In the warm pavilion, the atmosphere became extremely weird, and no one dared to pant loudly, for fear of provoking Lin Feng and causing trouble.

Facing Lin Feng's sharp eyes, one by one he was in a cold sweat, and after a long time, Lin Feng exhaled, motioned for the ministers to sit down, and asked, "Who is the initiator of the matter?" ”

On the surface, factional disputes can balance the forces of the DPRK and China, and the emperor is easy to control, but in fact, it is easy to cause chaos in the government and government decrees.

If the contradictions continue to expand, it is very likely to hurt the national capital, and the court will form a larger faction from top to bottom. It will evolve into a more serious sectarian struggle, leading to the sharpening of various social contradictions, deepening the crisis of Yan rule, and bringing the originally decadent and declining Tang Dynasty to its demise.

The so-called dispute between the two factions is actually a dispute between the bureaucrats of the family and the bureaucrats from the bottom, and the differences between them are not only different political views, but also different attitudes towards cultural traditions such as etiquette and door style.

In a word, the power of the family gate valve penetrated into the Yan Kingdom, infiltrated the court, and affected the rulers of the Yan Kingdom.

Fortunately, Situ is in charge of the government, and he is in charge of the justice of Yan State, and the power of the gate valve has never gained the upper hand, otherwise, the Yan country is so big, I am afraid that there will be a few more gate valve families.

Filtering out the cause of the matter, Lin Feng realized that the matter was not just as simple as finding out the initiator, to completely eliminate the power of the gate valve family, only by eliminating Duan, Wen, Han, etc., all the gate valves that still exist in these vassal states, without the infiltration of the old family, the court issued a decree restricting the family gate valve, and this kind of thing will be completely lifted from the root.

At this moment, Wen Jishi, Situ and the others sat down, secretly relieved, and they were silent, the initiator of Lin Feng's inquiry, so far everyone still doesn't know who caused the matter first.

If you want to learn, you must investigate in detail, after all, the development of factions is not achieved overnight, but is formed imperceptibly.

At this time, as the head of the hundred officials, the auxiliary minister of the emperor personally took the case, Situ stood up and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what you think in your hearts, Weichen suggests that the power of the family must be strictly controlled to erode the Yan Kingdom, otherwise, the emperor's previous efforts, the effect of Xinzheng in the court will gradually be corroded and wasted."

The emperor is vying for hegemony, and the ambition of unifying the princes will also be stranded! ”

"Lord Situ, the power of the family is too large, it will indeed affect the development of the Yan Kingdom, but when the Yan Kingdom competes for the world, it is necessary to absorb the power of the family, Lord Situ should not forget that the family valve not only has strong financial resources, but also has a strong talent reserve and contacts, if the emperor absorbs the power of the family, the power of the Great Yan country is bound to flourish again." Regarding Situ's suggestion that he hoped to rectify the wealthy family, as one of the only two remaining family heads in Yan Kingdom, Liu Chengfeng stood up and bluntly retorted,

"Lord Liu's words are wrong, if Yan did not try the new policy, promulgated the military merit system, the imperial examination system, and promoted the poor scholars, Yan Guo really needs the help of the wealthy family, but since the promulgation of the imperial examination system, the promotion of talents from the people, compared with the hereditary, recommended, and other selection systems, the imperial examination is undoubtedly a fair, open and just method.

It is also possible to participate regardless of background, rich or poor. It not only greatly broadened the channels for Yan Guo to select talents, but also gave scholars from the middle and lower classes of society the opportunity to flow to the upper echelons of society through scientific examinations, which played an important role in maintaining overall social stability.

In addition, the imperial examination system has also played an extraordinary role in promoting the popularization of culture and the culture of reading among the people. Once the emperor unified the vassal states and implemented the culture of the Yan Kingdom, the imperial examination system played a certain role in the popularization of knowledge. These scholars are the products of the same system, and they also learn the same classic culture, so they also indirectly maintain the unity and centripetal force of the culture and thought of various parts of the Yan Kingdom.

These benefits can be compared with the family gate valve? No, the family gate valve only takes care of the interests of the family, and even puts the interests of the family above the interests of the country, if it is allowed to be strong, Yan Guo is afraid that it may become the next Jin State, Zhao State.

The children of the poor family can achieve the life and death of the country, how can they avoid it because of misfortune and fortune, can the children of the gate valve? I'm afraid it's impossible, if it hurts the interests of the family, it will give up the country, not to mention facing life and death, wouldn't it be to run away! Situ was undaunted and retorted with examples.

The dispute between Situ and Liu Chengfeng made the ministers who had just been shocked quarrel again.

Lin Feng forced his eyes to lean on the soft couch, ignoring the affairs outside the window for a long time, and turning a deaf ear to the disputes among the ministers.

The factional strife has exceeded expectations, and it's time to be incurable!

At this time, the ministers noticed Lin Feng's actions and were worried that the emperor was on the verge of going berserk, so Wen Jishi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the previous incident has affected the government affairs of the DPRK and China, and the ministers are guilty, so I ask the emperor to punish them!" ”

In the past, the gate valve affected the vassal states, and it is still the case today, only the Yan country is an exception, and the family gate valve is always not welcome, with the current strength of the Yan country, no matter how powerful the gate valve is, it is not as big as the Yan country, but the power in Lin Feng's hands, if the gate valve family does not unite with the vassal states, it is difficult to shake the status of the Yan country.

Not to mention, Lin Feng has a million male soldiers in his hands!

The opposition between the family gate valve and the Yan Kingdom is completely an egg hitting the stone, not to mention that among the Yan Kingdom, the small family is a wealthy family!

Lin Feng waved his hand, and his tone was indifferent: "This matter is not an example, everyone performs their duties, continues to discuss the matter of rewarding, dispersed, all dispersed!" ”

Whether it was Master Wen Ji or Situ, when they heard Lin Feng's words, they all became puzzled.

According to Lin Feng's character, if such a serious thing happens, it is right to deal with it, conduct a large-scale investigation, and reverse the current unfavorable situation, and it should not be dealt with lightly.

However, since Lin Feng had already decided, everyone did not dare to speak, for fear of incurring the disaster of killing, so they bowed down and dispersed one after another.

Lin Feng didn't stay in the warm pavilion for a long time, and when the ministers left, he also got up and left, shuttling through the palace.

Today's events have a far-reaching impact, although they are only showing signs at present, and they should be completely strangled in the cradle, and it seems that without great efforts, the influence of the family cannot be completely eradicated.
