Chapter 140: Heaven and Man Fight

Ning Yue's sudden action startled Zhou Bian, and he couldn't help but lean back. As soon as the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info moved, he felt that something was wrong, so he sat up straight again, and thought about it, Ning Yue often served with him, thinking that he knew some of his own thoughts, and asked at this time, it was definitely not for the sudden arrival of the Queen Mother, Ning Yue didn't have the leisure time to take care of the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, what he said must be something. So Zhou Bian asked, "Isn't Ning Aiqing asking about changing the law?" ”

The peasant households in Chengzhou have already implemented twenty taxes and one tax, and the peasants in Luoyang have not mentioned it because they are afraid of the nobles of the city, and they are both the land of the Son of Heaven, but they are treated differently, which has always been a big trouble for Zhou Bian.

I didn't think that what Ning Yue said was really this, but I saw him slap his thigh, "Ah, that's exactly what happened." His subordinates looked at the king's past, only to feel that the three chapters of the law change in Chengzhou were quite desirable, and especially the law of field tax was important, and now Chengzhou twenty taxes one, the suburbs of the common people are called Wang En, throughout the civil and military period and even the three Jin and Tian Qi, are to win the hearts of the people and then win the country, so the minister thinks that the people's desire is related to the rise and fall of the royal family, the king's move is very wonderful. It's just that it was not implemented immediately when it arrived in Luoyang, although the king did not say it explicitly, his subordinates speculated privately, but it was for the sake of some nobles in Luoyang. I don't know if what His Majesty said? ”

It is true that he did not tell Ning Yue about this matter in detail, and Taishi Bai Gui and others naturally did not reveal it, it seems that he really figured it out by himself, but this matter can be understood after a little thought, the people in the royal family understand, and those nobles also understand, but everyone has not mentioned it on the table, but it is always a hurdle in front of him. So if this Ning Yue really has a way, he might as well listen to it, so Zhou Bian nodded and said, "What Aiqing thinks is exact, I don't know what Aiqing has to do?" ”

I saw that Ning Yue moved a little closer, almost to Zhou Bian's ear, and said softly, "Your Majesty thinks that the Deng family's plot to assassinate the king is a major crime of rebellion, but under the pretext of finding the remnants of the Deng family, the family that is close to the Deng family, as well as the family that His Majesty said yesterday, will all be destroyed, and it will clear the obstacles for the king to rule Luoyang, and if you can carry the power of exterminating the clan and implement the new law, no one will dare to object." ”

This matter is too big, Ning Yue really dares to think about it, Zhou Bian was taken aback when he heard it, looked around, and saw that there were only two loyal guards who had been following him, so he was slightly relieved. It's no wonder that Ning Yue had to wait for the Tian family and the others to leave before saying it, if it was really just to say that some nobles yesterday didn't have to avoid the Tian family, but this matter was really too big, if he was Ning Yue who wanted to say this proposal, not only did he have to wait for the young master and the others to leave, but also drove away the guards around the king.

Seeing Zhou Bian's shocked expression, Ning Yue was naturally not surprised, and continued, "Don't be surprised, if the king thinks that this matter is okay, he needs to think about it in the long run, and there is no need to rush it. ”

And Zhou Bian's heart is also at war between heaven and man at this time, if you look at it in later generations, this method is indeed a little bloody, but throughout history, this method is tried and tested, excluding dissidents, which heroes have not done it, which regime change is not a river of blood, if you don't kill a lot, how can you quickly determine the foundation? Zhou Bian has already killed the two of them with his own hands, and naturally he is not a kind person, if it is really necessary, Zhou Bian will not be soft-hearted. However, whether to do this matter or not, and how to do it, really needs to be considered in the long run, so Zhou Bian asked, "If this happens, how should I convince the public?" And how to appease the rest of the aristocratic families so that they do not have different intentions? ”

"His Majesty thinks that if you want to convince the public, you need real evidence, and among the several families that Your Majesty said, which one is not hiding hundreds of strong men, and they are all fully armed, the king only needs to show his sincerity first, and let him take the initiative to hand over standard weapons such as spears, bows, crossbows, etc., if he refuses, then the ministers will come forward, dispatch all the forces of the royal family, and suddenly attack, with the momentum of thunder, destroy the pre-determined families, kill their family masters and dignitaries, and lock up their children and retainers as royal slaves, and then let their slaves be free and receive their family inheritance, and so on."

Zhou Bian shook his head, "Zhou Liyun, the Son of Heaven is on the expedition, and the doctor is with him." It is allowed that the aristocratic families under the royal family have their own arms, and if they are really allowed to take the initiative to hand over standard weapons such as spears, bows, crossbows, etc., it is actually a loss for the royal family. "This is what the Master taught.

"The king, the minister thinks that the king has already changed the law in Chengzhou, and no longer rewards the nobles but rewards those who have made military achievements, why are they still stuck to the ancient system? Could the king tolerate a group of suspicious and armed men gathered next to the palace, eyeing the royal family all the time? It is better to take this opportunity to collect the weapons in the city, follow the way of the overlord, and integrate the royal power. ”

I have long seen Ning Yue's behavior and felt that it was overbearing and even extreme, and now it is openly proposed to do the way of overlordship, so it seems that Ning Yue believes in hegemony, in the pre-Qin period, many capable people are exploring the way to govern the world, thus forming many family doctrines, collectively known as the hundred schools of thought, the Confucianism that Yan Gao believed in before Zhou Bian saw was one of them, and the domineering was also one of them, but there was no market, unlike Confucianism that could be passed down for thousands of years. However, Zhou Bian didn't care which doctrine he adopted, as long as it was beneficial to him, he would just accept it.

How can the side of the couch allow others to sleep peacefully? Zhou Bian has long been unhappy with those aristocratic families, and the highly centralized feudal monarchy of more than 2,000 years in later generations shows that in feudal society, the high concentration of monarchy is still more beneficial than disadvantageous to the country, but at this time it is not the time to collect non-royal soldiers, and it is not possible to hurry up, this is what Confucius said, and Bai Gui has repeatedly reminded him, so Zhou Bian shook his head, "What Ning Aiqing said, this king really thinks it is, and Ning Aiqing thought of this point with this king." But this matter is very important, and this king will not mention this matter lightly until my royal family has an absolute advantage. Let's not talk about how to convince the public, Aiqing will talk about how to appease the rest of the nobles, this is the point. ”

"The king is wise! As for the rest of the noble families, the king can show a little favor. For example, the three families of Tian Xin and Zhao have already joined the royal family and do not need to worry, while the rest of the families who have no dissenting intentions and only want to be rich and noble need to appropriately throw out some royal properties to cooperate with them and tie them to the interests of the royal family. His Majesty suggested that the original industry of the Duke of Zhou did not make much profit, such as terracotta, etc., and the king could sell it to the above ones, and then learn from Han Wei and other countries, and collect commercial taxes from them, which not only showed favor to large households, but also did not damage too much royal interests. I wonder what the king thinks? ”

"The pottery tile industry is close to the royal family's nobles, this king has also thought about it, but he is worried that the royal family is not enough so he has not mentioned it, and now the royal family's income is slightly surplus, that is, don't Aiqing said, it will be implemented soon. It's just that Aiqing's suggestion is too involved, once it fails, and then it is bitten back by those nobles, if the royal family can get out of the way, it will be considered lucky. Besides, even if it succeeds, there will be countless casualties, and this king really can't bear it in his heart. ”

"Don't worry, since your subordinates have mentioned it to the king, they have naturally figured out the joints. Didn't the king just recruit 4,000 recruits and only keep 2,000, after he was trained, he didn't rush to dismiss the 2,000 recruits, and took advantage of the last day for the king to review, stationed outside Luoyang City, and suddenly entered the city in the middle of the night, and he must have killed him defenselessly. As for what the king said in his heart, his subordinates secretly thought that benevolence and righteousness were the foundation of the country, and could not be lost, but now the situation is different, although no one said it clearly, but the king should be very clear in his heart, there are many nobles who do not accept the jurisdiction of the royal family, not to mention that the king wants to implement a new law, not that the king compromises, and since then he is accustomed to them and do nothing, that is, the conflict again, the prestige of the royal family is discredited, it is better to start first, clear the obstacles, and then the king will show his skills, and the royal prestige will be just around the corner, if it really comes to that day, Then no one spoke of the events of the day. Of course, whether this can be done or not depends on the king, and the subordinates are just doing their best to serve the king. Ning Yue bowed and whispered.

What Ning Yue said was indeed a method, when he inspected the recruits on the Dingding Gate, he said that after the training was over, he would have to review it again, and use this as a cover, thinking that he would be able to kill them by surprise, it seems that Ning Yue has a lot of intentions. According to this, this method is really tempting, the power beckons in front, if you ignore the mercy dragged behind you, step over, this step away, maybe the distance between heaven and earth.

Alas, this matter is too important, and it affects the whole body, even compared to the recapture of Luoyang that was discussed with Bai Gui at the beginning, it is not too much, and the bloodiness is even worse, although the temptation is great, but it is really difficult to make up your mind in your heart. So Zhou Bian sighed and said, "Alas, this matter is very important, and it is really difficult for this king to decide, give this king some time." But no matter whether this matter is done or not, Aiqing's loyalty to the country, this king has seen it, it's really difficult for you, come up with this. If the royal family is developed, it will live up to Aiqing. If nothing else, then go down first, and let the king think again. ”

Unexpectedly, Ning Yue refused to leave, and arched his hand, "King, your subordinates really have a matter, your subordinates have been busy for more than half a month, but they don't have a name, they all say that if the name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not work." I also asked the king to give him a name, and his subordinates could open a mansion and office. ”

This is my own negligence, now it seems that this Ning Yue's ability to do things is indeed possible, this emerging organization is also quite effective, and it is indeed time to set up a separate department, so Zhou Bian pondered, is it called the armed police or the internal guard or the city management, no, these modern languages of later generations are too abrupt to be placed here, which is not conducive to people's understanding, Jinyiwei, although the word is loud, but at this time there are two thousand years away from the Ming Dynasty, it is still not easy to understand, and suddenly Zhou Bian thought of the book mentioned in the book that the Taishi said, The Zhou Dynasty did have a similar institution before, it was called the supervision market, which was in charge of some trivial matters in the market, but it was a loose organization, if it was brought forward again, the name was far from loud enough, Zhou Bian suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and shouted, "Just call it the Supervision Division, supervise hundreds of officials, inspect the market, be the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and keep the people safe, what does Aiqing think?" ”

"Very good. His Majesty thanked the king, waited for an auspicious day, found the mansion, and his subordinates hung up their fame, and they were sure to make the whole city look sideways. His Majesty had nothing to do, so he took his leave! Ning Yue made a big bow and retreated.

Looking at the back of Ning Yue leaving, Zhou Bian fell into deep contemplation, this Ning Yue is really ruthless, and he will do everything, but if he is sincere, he is a quick knife, if he has a different heart, once he is in trouble, it will be a catastrophe. Alas, Zhou Bian shook his head, no longer thinking about Ning Yue, this matter in front of him is a headache, what Ning Yue mentioned is indeed tempting, but he can't bear it in his heart, should he do what he mentioned, Zhou Bian was also at a loss for a while.

It's better to find someone to discuss, so Zhou Bian clapped his hands and summoned a guard, "Go and send the Taishi, the young master, well, send another person to Cheng Zhou, and let Doctor Bai also come tomorrow to see the king together." ”

The guard was about to quit when he got the order, and just walked to the door, but was stopped by Zhou Bian again. "Well, forget it, don't call them. It's better to call Jiang Ping and ask him to come immediately. ”

Although the guard was puzzled, he still answered, and quietly raised his eyes to look at the king, and saw that there was no more orders, so he left.

But Zhou Bian's heart is peaceful. Almost, if you really take this step, I'm afraid that you will not be far from the tyrant, the temptation of power is really not small, and you almost fell yourself, if you can only kill people, then what will you get?

But the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, so it is better to ask Jiang Ping to focus on investigating.
