The package of digging is neither complicated nor complicated, nor simple is simple, but it can be summed up as "internally, peacefully fighting and preparing for war; Externally, it pretends to seek peace and alliance with friends. ”

Within Zheng Guo, he was determined to completely eliminate the resistance to his future governance. Since we have chosen the path of "European-style Spring and Autumn", it is natural to choose a European example. He thought about it and thought that the "Sun King" Louis XIV was good. This guy was not only controlled by Shousuke when he was young, but also encountered the nobles collectively seditioning the rebellion, which is indeed similar to the experience of digging out. As a great French king, Louis was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Immediately after he took office, he strengthened the centralization of power, starting from the firm control of military power, ministerial power, and financial power, and subdued the unruly aristocracy.

To dig up the sudden, we must first ensure the control of military power.

Originally, Nie Rang was the best choice for Sima, but he was already a person. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and promote Jing Sheng to the new Sima. Although Jing Sheng is not a confidant, he has always been biased towards the lord after being reused. Moreover, because of the "anti-marriage" stance in the court bloody case, he was also isolated by the old nobles.

Even so, Di Tu is not completely at ease, after all, Jing Sheng is from a noble family. Therefore, he transferred the elite of the nobles' children from the national army to the inner court guards and organized them into the Longxiang battalion. The Longxiang Battalion and the Huben Battalion were side by side, led by the newly sealed "Si Ying" Suoqiu. In this way, the merchant commands the inner court army, which is dominated by the children of the nobles, and the nobles lead the national army dominated by the merchants.

After getting rid of the military power and gaining the confidence to dig out the sudden, he drastically reformed the bureaucratic system headed by the prime minister.

According to the original structure, Neizai was almost the second monarch, and he could intervene in everything from diplomacy and military affairs, to taxation and land, to marriage and sacrifice. Following the example of Louis XIV, he directly abolished the post of internal governor, took back the power, and made the three officials report directly to the monarch. In addition to Sima being replaced by Jing Sheng, Taizong and Taishi, who participated in the rebellion, were also abolished, and Taibu and Taishi were temporarily replaced by Taibu and Taizong.

In this way, he also felt that the team of the outer court was too powerful, and he should continue to strengthen the team of the inner court to check and balance. In order to avoid conflicts between merchants and nobles, he changed the entire establishment of the hundred rooms directly to the inner court, separate from the hundred officials of the outer court. The temporary name of Hyakuma Chang was also changed to the more formal "Sima", and he was succeeded by Xian Zhu's son, Xian Ke.

Both political and military operations are inseparable from the support of finance and taxation. Therefore, if the monarch cannot grasp the financial power, the above actions are all on paper.

Dutu promoted Xianzhu's deputy, Candle Correction, to the rank of "Si Shang", who was in charge of the collection of various commercial taxes such as the general, the general, the quality, the fine, and the kitchen, and directly received it from the inner court. At that time, the aristocracy originally advocated "agriculture-oriented" and was not interested in lowly industry and commerce. As long as the large head of the well field agricultural tax is not touched, they have not objected much.

In order to ensure the income under his direct control, he also put one of the plans in the European-style Spring and Autumn Script - the establishment of industry and commerce on the agenda. He learned from Louis XIV to vigorously develop industry and commerce, and tried to take advantage of Zheng Guo's geographical advantage of being in the middle of the world and extending in all directions, and took the lead in developing a commercially developed country on the land of China.

At this point, relying on the aftermath of the counterinsurgency, Dutu has basically sorted out the two sets of domestic teams. In the outer dynasties, there were Situ Bofu, Sikong Jingsheng, and Sikong Shuhui, including the regular army of Zheng Guo, and the financial revenue was mainly based on the agricultural tax of the well field. The inner court has the two camps of Sijian Xianke, Siying Suoqiu, Sishang Candle Correction, Linglongxiang and Huben, which are mainly supported by commercial taxes.

With the internal out of the way, the next step is to discuss how to deal with the external crisis.

Sima Jingsheng took office as a new official, and his enthusiasm for work was high, and he was the first to stop and ask for his life: "Please immediately order the army to be reorganized for war." If a foreign enemy comes to attack, the minister is willing to fight to the death! ”

"Courage is commendable." "However, if it is really like what the Wei envoy said, there will be an Eight-Nation Alliance, are you sure?" ”

"This ......," Jing Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Since following the king, the minister has witnessed you defeat the weak over the strong many times through tricks, just like a god of war. Therefore, although the size of the coalition army is far superior to ours, the minister also believes that the king will have a way to save the day again. ”

"Hahaha, the title of God of War is not liked by anyone." He didn't know if this kid really admired or learned to pat himself on the back, so he smiled happily, "Master Sima is very good at talking." ”

"I really think so." Jing Sheng's face was sincere, and he didn't look like he was pretending. It seems that the military talent of the digging is still very convincing among the troops.

"Although we despise the enemy strategically, we still need to pay attention to it tactically, and we must not be careless." A famous quote from Chairman Mao reminded everyone, "The widow thinks that the war of armament is about to be carried out, but don't make a noise." We still have to pretend to be grandchildren and try to avoid this war. ”

There was a whisper in the hall. Suo Qiu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wei is too deceitful. If we repeatedly back down, I am afraid that it will only make the smaller neighboring countries think that we are easy to bully. ”

"The big husband can bend and stretch. As long as you have passed the pressure of Wei Hou's round, it is not easy to go back and clean them up? "The widow is going to send someone to appease the guard, pretending to promise to give marriage." ”

"Wei Hou is cunning and cunning, I'm afraid he may not be fooled."

"So the drama has to be done a little bit. First, Lord Lao Situ gave full play to his expertise to confuse and confuse the frightened guard, making him feel that the widow was just impulsive yesterday, and now he has calmed down. Then, he sent someone to bring the gift of proposing relatives and accompanied the guard envoy back to Hojing to restore his life. After coming and going, there will be enough time to prepare for the war. ”

"Your Excellency is wise. Then who will be sent to Hokyo? ”

Digging his eyes scanned, and his gaze fell on the corner of the lobby. He pointed to Nie Rang, who had been hiding there quietly, and said lightly, "Let him go." ”

Whispers suddenly came from among the ministers. When Daxing was sealed just now, there was only no celebrity Nie Rang, which already made everyone wonder. Now that he has been sent far away, everyone is even more puzzled. It's a pity that the grievances and hatred of these brothers can be understood by outsiders.

Nie let know that his lord no longer trusted, and wanted him to stay away from Zhong Ji, so he didn't argue and silently took the order.

Du's face was expressionless, and he didn't say a word of goodbye, although his heart was actually surging. In order to hold back the tears rolling in his eyes, he hurriedly continued to discuss government affairs.

"Also, we're not entirely passive. The princes in the world who gave Wei Hou a headache were not only Zheng Guo's family. The widow drafted a private letter asking Lord Sijian to send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom. ”

"Jin Kingdom?" Xian Ke was a little puzzled.

"That's right! Jin Hou Su is good friends with widows. Back then, Wei Hou caused him not to get the Fen River Valley, and he has always been obsessed. You must send a clever man and persuade him to take it himself sooner. Once the action is big, Wei Hou will inevitably be distracted, and our pressure will be less. ”

"The king is wise, and the minister is commanded." Xianke had to admire the means of digging out.

At this point, domestic and foreign affairs are almost arranged. For the court deliberations without opposition, Di Tu felt more relaxed than he had ever been. However, when it came to the final discussion on the handling of the rebels, they met with resistance.

At today's official meeting, the children of businessmen are greatly used. They who feel that they are favored by the king are even more fearless. Suoqiu, who hated him to the bone, naturally did not let go of the opportunity, and directly clamored to cook Neizai and chop Sima alive. Xianke, Candle Correction and others helped to wave the flag and shout.

Although the nobles had been demoralized yesterday, they did not dare to speak out against the rebels. But in the Spring and Autumn Period, when there was always a trend of "not punishing doctors", cooking the important ministers of the country was really unacceptable to them. Sikong, Taizhu and other ministers who were originally relatively neutral stood up one after another to speak out against such humiliation of the guilty ministers.

Seeing that the two sides were facing each other again, he was afraid that the situation would get out of control again. After learning to be obedient, he hurriedly came out to extinguish the fire, and said in a fierce voice: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, how can the sentencing matter come casually!" The widow has his own measure. His words were tantamount to suppressing the businessmen in disguise, lest they be too arrogant.

As far as the original intention of digging out is concerned, after so many rounds of struggle, he has become more and more politically inclined to be ruthless. No matter how contradictory he was before, he always saw that Neizai was an old minister and loyal, and he couldn't bear to be ruthless. This time, he was determined not to be soft.

At the same time, in order to avoid the anger of the nobles, Dig Tu played a trick.
