Kentanaka sat in the study, reviewing the official documents of the past few days. The civil affairs within Anyun and the war in the land of Xu Huai were carried out in an orderly manner, and Xian Guzhong was very satisfied, and handed over the specific matters to the people below after a little instruction.

Now that An Yun has recovered a little after several years of development, and his confidence in Xian Gu has also increased a lot, but how to reform the system without destroying the current good situation is indeed a big problem in front of him.

Kenya took out a letter and read it again, still a little hesitant to think about it.

This letter was sent by Wendao to Xianguzhong, who said in the letter that now Anyun has been initially restored, and the authority of Xianguzhong has also been established in the past few years, and now the restructuring is just right. However, in the letter, he had quite some objections to the abolition of Zaifu and the establishment of a cabinet, believing that this would definitely meet with the opposition of the old ministers who were in charge of real power, and the slightest carelessness would cause a catastrophe.

Even if the restructuring is successful, the monopoly of power in the Xiangu will be used by some people with ulterior motives if it is not handled properly. Asked and especially told Xian Guzhong to be careful of Lan Qi who gave him this advice.

Asking is a friend of Xian Jinfei, and he is also a trusted minister of Xian Jinfei, who has been staying in Shifeng City for the past few years, and has made great contributions in the battle against the Yaodong army. And he never participated in the factional battles in An Yunzhong, and he fully supported the rule of Xian Valley. Kentanaka is very grateful for asking questions, and if there is any important issue, he must ask for his opinion. For the words asked, Ken Guzhong couldn't help but think about it.

But for Lan Qi, Xian Guzhong is also unwilling to be suspicious casually. Back then, with the attitude of just trying it out, Xian Guzhong came to Sanlu Town. But as soon as they talked, Xian Guzhong was attracted by Lan Qi's words, thinking that Lan Qi was the auxiliary national talent he had been looking for. Although some of Lan Qi's arguments about the power trick are too appalling, if you think about it, this is the case.

Over the past few years, with the assistance of Lan Qi, a series of measures have been implemented in Xian Gu to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and An Yun was able to recover in such a short period of time, and Lan Qi has made great contributions. But Lan Qi has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, not fighting for this or that, in addition to dealing with official affairs, he is reading and writing, he is really a virtuous person, where is the slightest shadow of conspiracy and ambition?

Compared with those powerful ministers who fight with him all day long, and want this and that, Lan Qi is really reassuring. Xian Guzhong really didn't understand, and asked why he suspected Lan Qi, and specially advised him in the letter. Abolish Zaisuke and run the cabinet, will there really be a big problem?

"After all, Mr. Daoist has seen everything, and he will definitely not slander a person for no reason. Am I really being deceived by Mr. Lan Qi? No, since the so-called people have seen people's hearts for a long time, I have been with Mr. Lan Qi for so long, if there is something wrong with him, I will definitely not be able to detect it. Forget it, just follow what Mr. Wendao said, if you really blame Mr. Lan Qi, I will compensate him well in the future. Kenya pondered, unable to make a decision, and his fingers just kept tapping on the table.

At this moment, someone outside reported that Lan Qi had arrived.

Ken Gu Zhong hurriedly put the letter in the letter folder, sorted out his clothes and face in the mirror, and after making sure that there was no problem, he went out to greet him.

"Mr. Lan Qi is here, although I haven't seen him for a few days, but I miss it very much, I don't know what Mr. Lan Qi is doing these days?" Ken Gu said with a smile, and then walked into the hall with Lan Qi.

"Let Xian-sama keep thinking about it, but it's broken. I haven't done anything else these days, except for reading and writing, just tending to flowers and plants, and my life is quite leisurely. Of course, a few days ago, Lord Xian asked me how to reform the already rotten system, and I have already come up with some solutions. Lan Qi said.

"It turns out that Mr. Lan Qi has been worrying about the restructuring. Also, the reform of the system that has been followed for many years will definitely offend the interests of many people, and if you are not careful, the current good situation will be lost, I don't know if Mr. Lan Qi has thought of a clever plan? Ken asked.

"I don't have any clever ideas, just take out two sentences from the classics, combine them with the current situation, and apply them concretely. In the face of today's situation, I just want to tell Lord Xian this sentence: one piece is relaxed, and the way of civil and military affairs is also. Lan Qi said slowly.

"One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts? What does this mean, how to zhang, how to relax, and what does this have to do with the word civil and military? Hearing this, he asked.

"Reform the system is like archery, you have to open your bow hard, then aim at the target, and finally let go of your hand to hit the target. The so-called martial arts means that before the adults reform the system, they must establish their own determination to reform the system, so that everyone has no doubts. Just like when Shang Jun changed the law, the city gate was erected and a thousand gold were rewarded to show his integrity; Punish the crown prince without any leniency to show his determination to change the law. If you don't let others know your determination to change the law, it's like trying to shoot an arrow, but you can't use any strength at all, and you can't open your bow, so how can you shoot an arrow? Lan Qi said.

"Does Mr. Lan Qi want me to show my determination to change the law? There is no problem, I will issue a decree immediately, and anyone who dares to oppose the change of the law will be severely punished and will not be tolerated. Kentanaka said immediately.

"It's useless. The adults want to bend the bow and shoot the arrow, but they don't want to break the bow. As the adults said, all those who oppose the change of the law must be severely punished and will not be tolerant, and the result can only be empty words. If there are one or two people who oppose the change of the law, they can naturally be severely punished, but if the voices opposing the change of the law are integrated, can the adults dismiss all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty? If you don't need to be completely dismissed, the whole Anyun will fall into chaos; If you can't completely dismiss it, the orders of adults will become empty words. When everyone thinks that an adult is a person who can only say and cannot do, then the prestige of the adult will be swept away. The bow was broken, but not a single arrow could be shot. Lan Qi shook her head and said.

"Then do nothing? If this is the case, the change will definitely fail. With such a wealthy An Yun and such a powerful iron-blooded army, in the end, he can't be controlled by me, so isn't the effort of the past few years all about making wedding clothes for others? Kentanaka said excitedly.

"The thousand catties are already there, and the power of the four taels should naturally be in the hands of adults. It is imperative to abolish Zaifu and implement a cabinet. It's just that as the adults just said, it's not a good way to change the law. Lan Qi said.

"Sir is so calm, there must already be a good way. I was in a hurry just now, so please can tell me in detail what to do now. Ken Gu Zhong calmed down and pretended to be calm, but his words were urgent.

"'The school destroys the toes, the small punishment is the big commandment, and the blessing of this villain is also' In front of the blessing, no one will say a word. Everything is inseparable from the word interests, adults want to change the law, who will come out against adults? Naturally, it is the people whose interests have been harmed. As long as the adults let them know that opposing the adults will only lose more benefits, they will naturally not dare to talk nonsense. And how to keep them from talking lies in the application of power. The application of power is only about the word 'don't'. Just like an adult holding a bow and an arrow, all fierce birds and beasts will be afraid to move forward; And shooting a bow and arrow, it is naturally good to be able to shoot a hundred shots, but if you don't shoot once, all the fierce birds and beasts will rush up, how should adults deal with it? Lan Qi said.

"Prestige only lies in the word 'don't', so how to 'don't'? How can I 'not use it' so that others don't dare to oppose me? Ken Tanaka said.

"Only when a person full of evil is killed, everyone applauds. No evil is killed, it only causes fear. The word power is reflected in it. At that time, Shang Jun changed the law, and many people opposed it at first, but Shang Jun could only endure it, and after a year, it was effective, and all those who opposed him praised him in turn. As a result, Shang Jun exiled all these people, and no one dared to oppose Shang Jun again. Adults can also learn from Shang Jun, at the beginning of the change, only the first evil will be used, and other gossip can be ignored. When the change has been effective, and then settle the score, only this once, no one will dare to infringe on the prestige of the adult. The punishment is not at the beginning, but after everything is over, and that's what the word 'don't use' means. Lan Qi said.

"Good countermeasures, good countermeasures, this will not kill a few people, and it will make the majority of people fearful, and after this, who will dare to oppose me. But let them be afraid, and they won't unite against me? You know, they have a lot of power in their hands. Kentanaka was very excited at first, but in the end he still had some doubts.

"After one, it's relaxed; After a martial arts, it is a text. Just now I just told adults how to use the might, but there are two words of benevolence behind the might. Shang Jun only knew the might, but did not know the benevolence, so he ended up miserable. For the sake of adults, I naturally want to avoid Shang Jun's mistakes back then. Lan Qi replied.

The word benevolence sounds mysterious, but it is also very useful. My father became the commander of the Iron Blood Army by virtue of his noble status, but because he had no military merits, many people disobeyed him at first. It was because he was kind to others and did everything possible to protect the talented soldiers under his command that he was supported by the soldiers. My iron-blooded army was once defeated, and the entire Anyun was lost, and it was because of the people's hearts that they could regain all this. My husband once told me the word 'Yangmou', and I dare to ask if Rende is 'Yangmou'? Ken Tanaka said.

"Benevolence is the foundation, and Yangmou is the way to promote benevolence. It's all about what's at stake. There is nothing special about a benevolent person, but there are two things, one is that he will not bring harm to others, and the other is that he will bring benefits to others. As long as the adults lead the people of Anyun to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, the people of Anyun will naturally wholeheartedly support the adults. But in the scholars, benevolence has a different meaning, just stupidly listen to the scholars and practice the benevolence in their mouths, then the adults are in danger. Lan Qi said.

"Listen to them and act according to their opinions, then I am not a tool for them? In this troubled world, being manipulated by others must have a miserable end, and I must not practice what they call 'benevolence'. Kentanaka clenched his fists and said.

"It's good for adults to remember one thing, everything is inseparable from the word profit. When a person praises the benevolence of an adult, it must be because he has gained benefits from his actions; When a person says that adults are not benevolent, it must be because they have lost their interests because of their actions. There are public opinions and private opinions in the world. Public opinion is the real benevolence, and public opinion is only for the welfare of the people; Private opinion is false benevolence, because private opinion only serves the benefit of a small group. If you just want to be content with the status quo, then to meet the needs of the current ministers of Hao An Yun, you will naturally be able to get their support. But if adults want to dominate the world, they must always keep the people of the world in mind. Lan Qi said.

"I see, I see! With the power of the bow, with benevolence and virtue to let go, and then the law can be smoothly carried out, as long as the arrow of the law and decree, so that the vast majority of people get benefits, then it is a shot in their hearts. Shoot them in the heart, and they will sincerely support my rule. In the long run, the world will return to the heart, and it will not be difficult to achieve a hegemony. After listening to Lan Qi's words, Xian Guzhong suddenly realized and said with a laugh.

"If you want to abolish Zaifu and implement a cabinet, you will inevitably be opposed by those powerful ministers. For now, it is a promise to keep their current status unchanged and allow them to participate in the cabinet, when the cabinet is successfully formed, all the power of life and death will naturally be in the hands of adults. Which people should stay, which people should be cleaned up, and everything is up to the adults to decide the success of the final cabinet. Killing a few corrupt officials will naturally make the people support the adults; Keeping the interests of the majority of people alive will naturally not be met with strong opposition. Divide and disintegrate those powerful ministers, break them down, and in the end, everything is adult. Lan Qi said with a smile.

"Sir's clever plan, with Mr.'s words, the future reform will inevitably be unimpeded. When the Cabinet is successfully formed, I am willing to appoint Mr. Cheng as the first assistant to the Cabinet. Kentanaka said cheerfully.

"I was originally a cloth cloth, but I was only able to have my current status because of the mention of adults. I just want to be a small official and solve problems for adults, and I really shouldn't have a place in the cabinet. Please don't say any more. Lan Qi's face was resolute, and she refused directly.

The two talked for a while, and then discussed the details of the reform. After a few words, the center of Xiangu was in a good mood, and seeing that it was already midday, he left Lan Qi for lunch.

After lunch, Lan Qi said goodbye, and Xian Guzhong picked up the letter from Qianqing, and thought to himself: "Mr. Lan Qi only plans for me, and he doesn't want to benefit himself at all. He also seems to know how to avoid suspicion. Mr. Lan Qi does not have a noble status or a sought-after power, so naturally he will not pose a threat to me. It seems that Mr. Wendao is also too worried, and Mr. Lan Qi is still very loyal. ”

Thinking of the end, Kentanaka lit a flame and burned the letter that asked the question. (To be continued.) )
