Chapter 644: The Household Department of the Great Wu Reform Law is the beginning
The war in the north is chaotic, and the Jiangdong is also restless.
July, the end.
Jinling City.
Following the Xuanwumen Incident, the magnificent capital of Wu once again entered a frenzied and restless atmosphere, and the biggest topic in the city was the Prime Minister's Mansion Governor Shi Zhouyu's stay in one of the Nine Qings.
However, this is just the beginning.
Subsequently, in an early dynasty, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, issued a dictatorial decree in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, bluntly saying that the Dasi Nong system was bloated and chaotic, and it was not suitable to carry on the past and open up the future.
Zhou Yu is the head of the household.
As soon as the holy decree was issued, the whole dynasty shook, as if a storm was condensed in the sky above Jinling City.
The book of the head of the household, a new title, opened the beginning of the king's reform.
At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly understood why there was such a big change in Jiuqing during this time, and there was only one reason, Sun Quan wanted to change the law in the Great Wu Dynasty.
In less than three days, countless ministers' opposition letters were submitted one after another, piled up on the book case of King Sun Quan of Wu, and even worse, knelt in front of the palace and admonished King Wu to let him take back his life.
For the civil and military officials of the court, changing the law is a kind of unknown, the unknown of the court, their own unknown, and most of them have some fear of the unknown.
However, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, was unmoved at all and still walked independently.
In the end, someone couldn't see it, and there was a faint strong meaning in the palace, the holy decree had been issued and could not be changed.
This move made everyone feel a dark cloud overpowering atmosphere.
"The king wants to change the law!"
"Lay off Jiuqing and remove the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"The system left by the ancestors will all be overthrown, and a new order of the Wu Kingdom will be re-established!"
"This is the prelude to a big fight!"
“……”
All of a sudden, the news of the change had spread all over Jinling City. The entire Jinling City entered an irrepressible restlessness, and the gossip covered the sky and the earth, pointing directly to the royal city.
In this atmosphere, the officials of Wu State are all in danger.
Chop up the old system. The establishment of a new system will inevitably deny the qualifications of many incumbent officials, and many of them may be removed overnight after years of hard work and death.
It is a matter of one's own interests, and everything said is false, which naturally makes many people feel the pressure brought about by the reform of the law, and a storm of opposition to the change of the law is also brewing.
Of course, now the officials in the court are all staring at the new Shaofu Secretary Gu Yong. This new leader of the Jiangdong family, he is the first person to bear the brunt of the storm of law change.
On this day, Gu Yong walked out of the Shaofu Yamen, appeared in the Jinling County Yamen, and bumped his head with Lu Xun, the commander of Jinling County.
"The system exists through the ages, and the law is changed overnight, and the king is probably determined to change the law for the Great Wu Dynasty this time." In a side hall of Jinling County. The two sat opposite each other, and Gu Yong said with some sighs.
"Change?"
Lu Xun squinted slightly. His eyes crossed a rainbow, and finally he frowned a little, and said in a low voice: "Ancient and modern exchanges, law changers, public anger, the king's move." Aren't you afraid that he will suffer a heavy setback in his reputation just after he has just stabilized? ”
"Now that he is on the throne, he is desperate, and he is not enough, even if the change fails. Although it will damage his prestige, it will definitely not affect his throne, he is only twenty years old this year. ”
Gu Yong smiled helplessly, and said calmly: "He is young, what is he afraid of, he failed once, and he will do it again, with his age, it is enough to survive all of us!" ”
"In this way, it is imperative to change the law!" Lu Xun's handsome and somewhat childish face was a little ugly.
"Unstoppable!"
Gu Yong nodded, sighed, and said softly: "Zhang Zhao's attitude that has been tested for a while, he is very tough, that can only be said that the king's attitude is very tough, and he can't stop it." ”
"Change! Reform! Alas! This is not good news. ”
The corners of Lu Xun's mouth raised a wry smile, and he sighed half-loudly, and said with some frustration: "Once Jiuqing's department is all removed and enters a new system, all the previous ones will disappear, and the new system will have new personnel, and the last strength of our family will probably shrink by more than half!" ”
Once the law is changed, even if they do their best, there will not be many people who can keep it.
"That's true!" Gu Yong's face was also a little helpless, but he shook his head, and a trace of essence crossed his eyes: "But this matter is not as pessimistic as you said, there are two sides to everything!" ”
"What you mean is to participate in it, and then divide up the fruits of the new system!"
Lu Xun is also a smart person, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up slightly and he said it.
"Hmm!"
Gu Yong nodded, his eyes crossed with a gleam, and said: "The change will definitely hit the last strength of our family, you and I can't keep it, after all, whether it's the Gu family or the Lu family, we can't stop the king's butcher's knife, since this is the case, we can only abandon the car to protect the handsome and go to Ye Liugan!" ”
"But in this way, our two families will be under pressure from the various families in Jiangdong!" Lu Xun was silent for a moment, and his face was a little hesitant.
"The holy decree just issued today, Wei Chen has resigned from the position of Jinling County Ya and settled in the new household department!"
Gu Yong replied non-questioning.
"The four great families of Jiangdong in the past, in addition to you and me, the Yu family has been completely removed, and the Wei family is also very injured, but it still has a family heritage, but I didn't expect it to become the sword of change in the hands of the king!"
Lu Xun was slightly stunned, and finally smiled a little bitterly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words: "Using the Wei family to deal with us, the king is really good!" ”
"Wei Chen is a very powerful person, I'm afraid we all underestimate him, he can give up the alliance of the Jiangdong family so decisively, and before the blood of the Xuanwu Sect is dry, the new king who does not hesitate to take refuge is a sharp knife that makes the entire Wei family a great king, which is rare!"
Gu Yong raised his head, smiled, and said with emotion.
"What is it now?" Lu Xun's face was straight, he squinted slightly, looked at Gu Yong, and asked.
Although he is smart, he has always been a little less experienced than Gu Yong's politics, and he still needs Gu Yong's final idea for this kind of big thing.
"Give up the Jiuqing Department!"
Gu Yong squinted slightly, and said: "Prime Minister Zhang just revealed a new news to me, the second reform is the Shaofu, and the Shaofu will be reformed into the Ministry of Wu Officials, managing the rise and fall of officials in the world of Wu State, and a certain must take down the Ministry of Officials." ”
"This position is so important, will the king let go?"
Lu Xun thought about it and was a little unconfident.
"He wants to change the law, we want to keep the vitality of the Jiangdong family, as long as we are willing to give up part of our strength, it can actually be a win-win situation!"
Gu Yong's eyes flashed with a glint and said, "I even suspect that this position was prepared by him in advance to block our mouths!" ”
"I hope so!"
To be honest, in the face of Sun Quan, the new king of Wu State, Lu Xun has no confidence, but there are many things that he can't help it, he thought about it, stood up, and said: "Since you want to take the position of the secretary of the ministry, you must get out of this matter, and you need to invite a few old people from our two families to enter the palace to face the saint!" ”
The Gu family and the Lu family are all first-class Jiangdong families, there is not much in the family, but there are really a lot of influential people in the older generation, the former Gu Hong of the Gu family, and Lu Kang of the Lu family are all leaders of the older generation.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Outside the palace became windy and rainy because of the changes in the court, but the palace was a little quiet.
Since Sun Quan had taken a tough attitude, the officials kneeling in front of the palace gate suddenly felt a little bored, so they could only retreat in a sneer.
After all, not everyone has the courage to die at the palace gate to stop the change.
Da Wu does not lack loyal people, but things have not come to that point, whether the change will bring an immortal foundation to Da Wu, or a mess with thousands of holes, no one knows.
Everyone is in wait-and-see mode, waiting for the latest results.
In fact, even Sun Quan himself didn't know what effect the change would bring to Great Wu, and the system he planned was definitely the best one in the feudal era, but every era had limitations.
Good things may not be applicable, and it is really hard to say whether Dawu can afford the new system.
He is only crossing the river by feeling the stones now, but since he has made up his mind, he will definitely do it to the end, whether he succeeds or fails, there is always a result.
As Gu Yong said, he is young, who is he afraid of!
Sun Quan, as the king of Wu, naturally did not have to do things himself, he ignited the fire of the law change, but he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.
The first step in changing the law was the battle between Zhou Yu and Gu Yong.
Whether Zhou Yu can grasp the situation, whether Gu Yong will choose to give in the end, these things are just a result for him, these two are talents, Zhou Yu is important, but Gu Yong doesn't want to give up.
Now he looks at Gu Yong's courage!
In fact, at the beginning, he should have reformed the Shaofu first, became the Ministry of Officials, and then used the Ministry of Officials to reform other Jiuqing departments, but in the end, he chose to reform the Ministry of Households, for only one reason, worrying about the counterattack of the Jiangdong family.
Therefore, he let Zhou Yu stay in the household department, and after stabilizing the household department, he threw out the position of the official department, which was definitely a temptation for the Jiangdong family, as long as Gu Yong dared to swallow the whole bait, they would become a part of the change.
"Gu Yuan sighed, you are a rare talent, don't let Gu down!" Sun Quan stood in a courtyard in the inner court, with his hands behind his back, looking at the waves of Xuanwu Lake, his eyes crossed with a trace of hope.
Only after passing the level of changing the law, he will reuse Gu Yong.
Gu Yong is a talent, but talents must also be used together, otherwise even if he is outstanding, Sun Quan will not dare to really entrust him with important tasks. (To be continued......)
