At some point, the rain outside the door gradually eased, the wind stopped, the thunder stopped, and the originally violent rain curtain became densely woven like a bright filament. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Lei took his eyes off the letter paper and looked at the roof of the house opposite, only to see that the neatly dense blue-gray tiles seemed to be covered with a faint layer of smoke. The leaves peeking out of the wall were shiny and green.

That terrible mutiny is a thing of the past, and on the path, by the stone bridge, there are finally people holding up umbrellas and walking slowly; There are also fishermen wearing hats, carrying fishing nets on their shoulders and carrying bamboo baskets, apparently going to the river to catch a few nets when the fish are floating while it is raining.

"Grandma, it's all your credit." Qin Lei said softly. The people in the teahouse couldn't help nodding, they all knew very well, if there was no shocking jump from the old queen mother, the morale of the rebels would not be easily disintegrated, although the Qinwang army would eventually achieve victory, but the central capital city would inevitably be killed and wounded, blood flowed and pestle, how could it be so quick to restore calm?

In fact, these people only saw the surface, only Qin Lei could understand the deep meaning of the old empress dowager's jump, through decades of thinking, the empress dowager Wenzhuang has found the reason why the three kingdoms have not been unified.

The reason why it cannot be unified is that no country can continue to occupy an overwhelming advantage. The subtlety of history lies in the fact that once a country shows a thriving atmosphere, there will always be problems of one kind or another, sometimes internal, sometimes external, sometimes internal and external, and anyway, the good trend will be interrupted and the situation will return to chaos.

This is not some providence, nor is it a god to haunt it, what is really haunted in it is the family that is attached to the body of the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu and sucks its anointed blood. Whenever there is a monarch above the level and development above the level in any country, these scholars who are full of 'loyalty to the monarch and patriotism' will tacitly unite even regardless of national boundaries to stifle the hope of a prosperous country and a strong people!

This is not alarmist, to take a recent example, is the tragic experience of Mr. Zhaowu Emperor, his old man's level is not very high, but the achievements of the people are there-first, the miraculous salted fish was reborn, replacing the Huangfu family as the second military leader of the Great Qin Dynasty; A few years later, three times and five divided by two, the two major ministers in the country were killed and disabled, the government was completely recovered, and most of the army was controlled.

These credits can be recorded on the head of Mr. Taishanghuang, before Qin Lei defeated Zhao Wuyi and surrounded Shangjing, few people thought that this young man with a weak crown could do so many earth-shattering things; Of course, people will not believe that an old queen mother who is seventy or eighty years old and waiting for death can still have the heart to plan the world, and eat the Huangfu, Wen, and Li families to death, so that they don't know how they died until the end.

All the glory is added to the body, and the aura on Emperor Zhaowu's body is so bright! How could the big families who loved to strangle the 'Ming Jun Holy Ancestor' let him go? So the nobles of the Qi State launched the state apparatus, opened a big net, and waited for the arrival of His Majesty Zhaowu. The nobles of the Qin State were collectively demented, as if they had lived to dogs for decades, and those rich battlefield experiences were eaten by dogs, almost coaxing and deceiving, making a military idiot believe that he was in the world for nothing, and he got into the trap with great interest, and was knocked out of the stick...... The army was almost exhausted, and he was also promoted to the emperor, completing an almost impossible promotion.

Why are these guys doing this? Are they fed? Yes, it's true that I was too full and had a good time! If you want to say that you are most satisfied with the status quo, there is no doubt that these guys can enjoy a series of privileges without having to study, work, or even run the country, whether they are economically or politically, they can be superhuman.

Fine wine, beauty, wealth and status, these things that are very rare in the eyes of ordinary people, but in their eyes, they are born with them, why do they still ask for change?

The reason for this strange phenomenon is nothing more than the fact that these big families have monopolized the country's political resources from the very beginning of the country's founding. Rather, it is they who manipulate the way in which the state selects officials...... The so-called conquest and recommendation are just a fig leaf for the children of the family to open the door in all aspects; As for the shade of the road, he didn't even bother to use a fig leaf, and inherited the power of his fathers nakedly.

You may ask, isn't there still a imperial examination? That thing is indeed a very popular trick between Qin and Chu, especially in the Qin State, there is already an extremely complex and seemingly strict process, which is enough to make ordinary people awe-inspired, and regard it as the Golden Avenue of the Dragon's Gate!

But please look at the file, in the past 50 years, have the common people in the Qin State been in the first grade? Even if they are in the top two, they are only a handful...... Facts speak louder than words, and the imperial examination has been monopolized! Of course, in the family, this is regarded as evidence of the superior quality and intelligence of the scholars, but even the aunt who buys vegetables on the street knows that this is just a cover-up and stealing the bell and stopping the laughter!

Through the all-round monopoly of the way to elect officials, the children of the nobles, whether good or bad, are prosperous; Then use the power of the state to seek personal gains, occupy fields and mineral deposits, tenants and slaves, so that less than 10% of the people enjoy 80% of the world's benefits! Can it get stronger and stronger? Can it be shaken?

It can be said arbitrarily that the wealthy family must be the dignitary of the dynasty, and the dignitary of the dynasty must be the wealthy family!

What's even more terrifying is that in order to protect their own interests, these wealthy families have revised genealogies, determined their origins, forcibly divided the so-called scholars and Shu clans, forbade marriages with non-Shi clans, and refused to interact with the Shu clans.

Even if it is because of government affairs and state affairs, it cannot be avoided, and the scholars will order people to move away from the guests, and not contact with them, as if they will be infected with 'cheapness'...... The official must ask, doesn't it mean that the family controls the government? Why do you still have to discuss government affairs with the Shu turtles?

Because it is necessary to flaunt the noble family and excellent variety. The scholars do not do tedious affairs and dramas, that is, the so-called 'turbid officials', but the 'clean officials' who have power and leisure. Of course, this clean official is not another clean official, he is a relaxed official, not an honest official.

So what kind of official is a clean official, and what official is a turbid official? Take the six departments as an example, Shangshu Shilang and Wailang, these leaders who don't work are Qing officials, and the main bookkeeper and experience Zhaoxiao, these petty officials who are responsible for specific affairs are the so-called turbid officials.

According to the grass people's speculation, it may have been divided according to the cleanliness of the collar. Those who work a lot sweat a lot, and the collar is naturally stained with sweat and oil, which is 'turbid', and those who don't work and only clap will certainly not sweat, maybe it's 'clean'......

Such a powerful wealthy family has formed an intricate network of relationships through marriage, and its joint force is not inferior to, or even surpasses the imperial power. The imperial power politics since the Sui and Tang dynasties has returned to the politics of gate valves.

And the biggest feature of gate politics is to get by, they like the emperor without authority, like the scattered court, because only in this way can they be unrestrained fish and flesh people, do nonsense, and turn the country and the world into their own playground!

So that the country is weak for a long time, but the scholars are rich and rival the country! This is not alarmist, the richest state of Chu in the three kingdoms, the income of the summer and autumn taxes, salt and iron ore deposits in a year, the national treasury is only 27 million taels...... Among them, what about the re-division of the landlords of the scholar clan is as much as sixty percent?

Therefore, the actual annual income of a country is only as much as 10 million taels. There are at least five families in the world that can achieve this income, and as for those with an annual income of more than 5 million taels, there are as many as 30; There are more than one million taels, and there are no less than two hundred, and all this income is not taxed!

Let's ask how the corporal clan in the world is not rich or strong? How can the poor three countries not be poor or weak? For a poor and weak country, self-protection is still difficult, how dare you talk about the unification of the eight directions and the three countries?

The old queen mother finally found out the root cause of Daqin's and even Huaxia's disease, that is, the wealthy family! If we want to let future generations not be oppressed by the scholars, if we want to change the fate of being strong, if we want to make the world end the strife and unify the world, we must first eliminate this huge stumbling block! At least basically wiped out!

In fact, for more than 200 years in the Three Kingdoms, the wise royal family does not know how many things are ordinary, and not only the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang can discover this secret. But the roadblock of the scholar clan is too big, and for the emperor who is alone in comparison, it is as unshakable as the royal house and Taihang. Therefore, those who did not find it did not know that there was a royal house for the rest of their lives, and those who found that the royal house was too big, but they could only sigh under the shadows, forget about this mountain, and enjoy the blessings of the past life.

But the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang is a special ...... A patient person, this is evident from the fact that she can take revenge in seventy years. For someone like her, it's not a problem with the difficulty of things, not with time, not even with success. She only cares about whether she has done it or not, and whether she is moving in the right direction.

Just like the foolish man who moved mountains, in fact, he couldn't move the royal house and Taihang for the rest of his life, but he still did it unswervingly, because he firmly believed in his son, grandson, great-grandson, and great-grandson...... Generations will persevere, and sooner or later the mountains will be removed.

So when she recognized the direction, the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang began to act in an orderly manner. In this matter, she is undoubtedly lucky, because history has reached a great turning point, the decadent and degenerate scholar class has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the emerging Shu landlords, and the contradictions between the two sides are becoming increasingly serious.

What's going on here? In fact, it is not surprising that the Shi clan forcibly divided the population and insisted on sticking to the so-called purity, which led to the complete rigidity of the Shi pattern...... If you are born a scholar, you will be a scholar for the rest of your life, no matter how you don't fuck up, it doesn't matter; If you are not born into a scholar clan, you will never be a scholar in your life, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain!

A serious problem was born, some of the Shu people are strongmen, and some are landlords and rich people, so naturally they all know what Lao Chen said, 'Princes and generals, rather have a kind of'? How can these people be willing to be ridden on their heads for the rest of their lives? Of course, you have to strengthen yourself on the one hand, and on the other hand, try to pull the scholars off the horse?

The children of the scholar clan are born with a bright future, they don't see the need to work hard at all, so they don't want to forge ahead, indulge in lust, be poor and extravagant, and even 'smoke, shave, Fu Fen, Shi Zhu', and make themselves into things that are neither male nor female. As the so-called weasel is a night owl, one generation is not as good as the next...... Let's ask these things, how can they fight with the wolf-like elite of the Shu clan?

Between the ups and downs, the difference between the Shi clan and the Shu clan is not as big as it was at the beginning. The current situation in the revival of the Yamen in the south is a clear proof of this...... The only ones who can be called the Shi clan are the four families of 'Xu Xu Qiaozhuo' and their vassal families, and the rest of the big and small families are just Shu clans that do not enter the stream.

But now the two factions have been fighting openly and secretly for several years, and neither of them can subdue anyone...... Although there is Qin Lei's secret help, if the landlords of the Shu clan can't afford to pay Adou, Qin Lei is Zhuge Liang is also in vain.

It can be said that the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang is happy, she has caught up with the good times, and she has a super powerful grandson, so she feels that it may not take so long to solve the chronic diseases that have plagued the Great Qin Dynasty for more than 200 years!

She is well aware that in order to solve this problem, two conditions need to be met at the same time: first, there must be a strong enough army to deal with the inevitable counterattack; The second is that we must stand on a moral footing, let the common people support it, and let those scholars have a word of suffering.

Now she uses her death to put the royal family in a morally invincible position. Qin Ting can completely pull this banner and put the big hat of the Li family's party on the road to centralization, and remove it in a grand manner.

I believe that with Qin Lei's unprecedented prestige and status in the army now, although there will be some turmoil in Great Qin, it will definitely not be chaotic!

Hee-hee-hoo! Clearing obstacles and making contributions is at this time!

"Lord Wang......" Seeing Qin Lei's face changing as he sat there, sometimes excited, sometimes depressed, and nervous for a whole quarter of an hour, Shi Dang had no choice but to call softly: "It's time to eat,"

Qin Lei came back to his senses and looked at Princess Heyang and the old eunuch Qiu who were sitting beside him; There were also Zhao Chengsi and Shi Kang, who were standing at the bottom, and he smiled embarrassedly: "I was distracted, maybe I didn't sleep last night." ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and Princess Heyang covered her mouth and smiled: "My brother must be having a nightmare." ”

"Probably." Haha, Qin Lei laughed and said, "Lao Zhao and Shi Dang also sit down to eat, they've been hungry all night, right?" As he spoke, he picked up the rice bowl and looked at the exquisite dishes on the table, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't it quite hearty?" I didn't expect such a small restaurant to have such ability. ”

Princess Heyang giggled again: "My brother seems to be really asleep, these dishes were sent from Wanlilou by the slave family, and no matter how good the teahouse is, it doesn't have such skills." ”

Qin Lei smiled awkwardly: "It's all about eating anyway." Then she lowered her head and quickly grilled the rice, and Princess Heyang also picked up a small rice bowl, picked up her favorite dishes, and ate them in small bites.

Seeing that the two highnesses began to eat, everyone also sat down cautiously and carefully accompanied them to eat.

Soon Qin Lei ate well, and seeing that Zhao Chengsi was still eating in Naswenwen, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Old Zhao, you also look like a tiger's back, how can you eat like a little girl?" ”

Zhao Chengsi smiled bitterly: "It's not usually like this, isn't this afraid of losing your manners?" ”

Qin Lei waved his hand and said: "It's okay, here in the Lone King, it is really the biggest ceremony, let go and eat." ”

After thanking His Royal Highness, Zhao Chengsi took a few chopsticks, and when he saw Princess Heyang frowning slightly, his speed slowed down again.

Qin Lei understood it this time, it turned out that her sweetheart, Her Royal Highness the Princess, didn't like others to eat quickly, so naturally she wouldn't meddle anymore. He smiled and said, "When are you going to do something?" ”

Hearing Qin Lei's words. Zhao Chengsi snorted, and sprayed the vegetable soup on the other side, obviously shocked.

Seeing that he was unproductive, Princess Heyang glanced at him, covered her mouth and smiled: "We are both married for the second time, so there will be no fanfare, and when the time comes, the brothers and sisters will call for a drink together, and then move the quilt to live together." ”

"It's all simple." Qin Lei nodded and smiled: "Yes, the emperor's grandmother is newly mourned, and it is indeed not appropriate to make a big deal." When I was talking, I thought of the grand wedding that I was still waiting for in Tangzhou Baba, and it seemed that it was going to be in the soup.

Shaking his head and putting this question aside, Qin Lei asked Zhao Chengsi again: "Then what do you think after marriage?" Do you want to continue working in the Terracotta Temple, or do you want to ......?"

Why couldn't Zhao Chengsi hear the words of the prince, "Except for the Terracotta Temple, you can pick the rest of the team!" He also knows that Kyoto is a sensitive place, and of course the prince has to change to a hardcore team, which is also the meaning of the question. Then he nodded and said: "The last general has thought about it, the eldest husband should be drunk and lying on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud, I want to go to the east and fight with the Qi country." ”

Seeing him like this, Qin Lei was very happy, and said with a smile: "It depends on what the imperial sister means." ”

"The smile is so treacherous," Princess Heyang said angrily: "Who doesn't want their own man to have a chance, go ahead, I'll find another one if I die." ”

I don't know what she meant, Zhao Chengsi said in a low voice: "Can I still charge?" There will be no danger. ”

"Yes, Sister Huang." Qin Lei said with a smile: "Brother Great Emperor is reorganizing the Zhendong Army, and he has always wanted to ask me for officers, I am ready to transfer one or two hundred officers at all levels from the forbidden army, how about letting Lao Zhao lead the team to be a deputy marshal?" "If you move people to the nest, of course you can't adjust it anymore, and the general will be promoted to the deputy marshal, so I have an explanation.

"It's fine." Heyang looked at Zhao Chengsi, and when he saw him nodding, he said slowly: "The Zhendong Army is in ruins, and it is in the middle of rushing and having to be prosperous, although it will be tired and bitter, but it is much better than going to the intact troops." "To go to a complete army, the factions are clear, the personnel are complete, it is difficult to get in, it is better to go to the rebuilt troops, everything is a new beginning, or to establish authority, and really grasp some power.

After talking about Zhao Chenghei's question, Princess Heyang asked, "I don't know how His Royal Highness King Wucheng wants to arrange this sister of the slave family?" ”

"I can't move you, the great god." Qin Lei smiled and said, "Let's still lead your royal spy," he said and gave her a look and said, "These things are not easy to talk about, let's talk about it slowly another day." ”

"The slave family knows." Princess Heyang nodded and said with a smile: "Waiting for the prince at any time." ”

Qin Lei rolled his eyes, looked at the eunuch Qiu who had been stunned, and said softly: "The imperial grandmother has gone, and there is no one in this world who is worthy of serving the old man...... Please come back to Jingshan City with me to retire for the rest of your life, and let the lonely king give you an old pension. ”

It took a long time for the eunuch Qiu to slowly shake his head and say: "Thank you for your kindness, but the old slave has been with Niangniang for sixty-three years, and she has long been inseparable from her." After speaking, he got up according to the table, kowtowed to Qin Lei and said, "The old slave is not going anywhere, I am going to continue to serve the mother." ”

Qin Lei only said that he was going to guard the tomb of the emperor's grandmother, and persuaded a few words, but seeing his resolute attitude, he no longer insisted, and said to Shi Dang: "Tell me to go down, let the Inner Servant Province serve the old man according to the treatment of the marquis, if his old man has a little mistake, I will demolish their Imperial Palace!" ”

Eunuch Qiu originally wanted him not to have to trouble, but after thinking about it, the prince was not only to take care of himself, but also to love the house and Wu, and transfer his feelings for the imperial grandmother to himself, so he no longer shirked, and kowtowed to Qin Lei again, so he thanked him and retreated.

After arranging everything, Qin Lei also stood up and said to Princess Heyang: "I have been away for a long time, and now I have to go back to the army, you virtuous couples can go wherever you like." ”

He Yang also got up and said with a smile: "In the letter from the imperial grandmother, she wants me to tell you something. As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of letter paper into Qin Lei's hand and said softly: "Take a look, don't let people cheat you." ”

Qin Lei nodded, stuffed the letter paper into his sleeve, hugged his fists at the two, and left.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a little eunuch hurrying over and whispered, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty is invited." ”
