In the past few days of Xie Shence's absence, the smell of gunpowder in Jindu has been full.

The "anti-martial faction" represented by Zheng Keming put pressure on the Jin Emperor.

After Xie Shence returned to Jindu, Zhou Jinmian found him as soon as possible and scolded Xie Shence.

He was the secretary general of the Tiqi Division, and Xie Shence had been happy with Wang Qingyan for so many days in the manor outside the city, how could he not know?

The affairs of the Jin capital - Emperor Jin, the Qi Wang Party, the Prince Dang, the local county wang, and now the Sima Party - overwhelmed him, at this time, as the head of the Ti Qi Division, but for the sake of a private meeting with his lover, how could he not be angry?

"You know how critical it is at this time, if we don't make it, even His Majesty's abandoned sons, we will all die and be desolate! Shameful! People who are going to get married, do you know that I'm going to die of exhaustion?"

Zhou Jinmian's scolding made Xie Shence a little ashamed, and then interrupted Zhou Jinmian's words and said, "I see that you are not very tired, and you still have the strength to scold me."

"Are you doing this by the Admiral? Do you have the consciousness to take on a heavy responsibility? Do you still think of this as a big deal? Are you still the self-proclaimed wise and scheming Xie Shence? ”

Xie Shence said aggrievedly: "Isn't this a big deal? It's a lifelong event. Besides, when did I ever boast of being wise? ”

Zhou Jinmian glared at Xie Shence, angry and indisputable.

After being silent for a while, it was probably because he couldn't use a wordless struggle to make Xie Shence feel even more ashamed and blamed, Zhou Jinmian sighed and said, "Forget it, let's talk about the situation in Jindu." The anti-martial faction has already launched the first round of offensive, which is an understatement at this time. Three days ago, some local governors submitted a few painless and itchy folds, just to talk about things as vulgar people who don't go to the hall of elegance. It's a sidekick. Zheng Keming naturally did not say it, but this incident has aroused the vigilance of some people. According to Tiqi's report, some Beijing officials met privately two days ago and initiated some discussions on the matter, but it is not known what they talked about. It's just that since this matter has already aroused the alarm of some people, it is only a matter of time before it causes a chain reaction. Zheng Keming's strategy is very simple, that is, to let this matter ferment slowly, steadily win people's hearts, and lean towards them. The final purpose is nothing more than two points, one is to let His Majesty cancel the lecture hall and martial arts, and the other is to make the lecture hall and martial arts become an empty shell, a tool to cover up their allocation of internal quotas, and then make it public. It can be regarded as a change of clothes from the declining inspection system. ”

Xie Shence gradually calmed down from Zhou Jinmian's angry roar, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, thought about it and said: "Zheng Keming's strategy is very correct, and the effect is slow, but it is precisely the most uncomfortable way for Your Majesty, and it is very likely to force Your Majesty to comply. After all, for a strong army and a strong country, it is not a method that can take effect immediately. If Zheng Keming can come up with a plan that His Majesty can barely accept to allocate those places, but he will not block His Majesty's way, if he is smarter, he can add some suitable conditions, His Majesty may really agree. After all, for these people, as long as they can ensure that the interests of the family are not lost, any conditions are acceptable. And His Majesty pursues a long-term goal, not caring about temporary gains and losses. ”

Xie Shence thought for a while and said: "Actually, those people don't care about the existence of martial arts and martial arts, what they care about is whether they can get enough benefits in this matter." As long as it is two or three generations of emperors in the Great Jin Dynasty, once the martial arts hall is accepted by everyone, and a large number of ordinary people and poor people form a force, then the martial arts hall will be irreversible. Those county watchmen who have existed for hundreds of years will become water without a source, a tree without roots, and they will not live long. ”

"But not necessarily that many people will see that. It has been two hundred years since the Great Jin Dynasty, and many nobles are just the afterglow before sunset, more than enough to keep and not enough to enterprising. This matter must be carefully investigated, find out those who can see far, and kill them as soon as possible, and not let them grind slowly."

Zhou Jinmian said: "I have already asked people to do this." According to the information received so far, among the Guanlong clan, it seems that some people have noticed it, but it seems that they don't know it so clearly. Investigation Division Xiahou? The commander is already in the key arrangement. ”

Xiahou? It was the old man of the former Second Division who was promoted after Xie Shence's reorganization of the Tiqi Division, with extremely strong work ability and extremely hard wrists. said that he was an old man, but in fact he was only in his thirties, who had been in Luoyang before, responsible for dealing with the infiltration of the Qin State Beehive, and only returned to Jindu to sit in the Investigation Department after the Sima Bi incident. Xie Shence still trusts this person very much, Xiahou? When he was in Luoyang, Xie Shence almost completely delegated power and gave him the power to "act cheaply". Facts have also proved that Xiahou? He is definitely a talent in the right way, and he takes care of the affairs of the Western Front in an orderly manner. The most illustrative point is that at the moment when the Jin State suffered a great disaster last year, the Western Qin people failed to cause much trouble to the Jin State. At least no bad news reached the ears of Xie Shence and Emperor Jin.

It's a sharp knife. Now on, it's time to aim at your own people. Xie Shence calculated in his heart what kind of blow they would receive once the Guan Long family's position was confirmed.

Thinking of this, Xie Shence couldn't help but think of the 30,000 sheep that Zhenglong talked about with Jiang Qi at the Iron Gate Pass in the fifth year. That incident, Xie Shence can now be sure that it was the ghost of the household department at that time. At that time, the household department was still in the hands of the Guanlong family, and Chen Hua, the secretary of the household department, only began to be low-key in the past two years, especially after Xie Shang made up for the lack of the household servant, Chen Hua became more and more low-key. Even such a major event as disaster relief was presided over by Xie Shang.

I thought that after the matter of the 30,000 sheep in the northwest was secretly settled by my grandfather, the Guanlong clan would recuperate for a period of time.

Tigers are always in wait and night, and they are always for the sake of night.

Xie Shence said: "Let Xiahou focus on the Chen family. Of course, if he has a better breakthrough, then continue with his scheme. ”

Thank you Shence again to Xiahou? Absolute trust is expressed.

Zhou Jinmian raised his eyebrows and said, "Chen Shangshu has indeed been very low-key in the past two years. Although there are some suspicions at present, if you focus on this, will it be counterproductive? After all, there are still things that have not yet been determined, what if it causes the dissatisfaction of the Chen family and even the Guanlong clan? ”

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. Chen Shangshu is not such a rigid person, even if it is, it is good to scare him, at least, Guanlong is the pillar of the west, and His Majesty's reliance on them is incomparable to Xingyang and other places, which Your Majesty and them both know. ”

Zhou Jinmian thought about it, and finally didn't say anything.

Xie Shence asked: "The anti-martial faction has already launched an offensive in Kyoto, so what is the reaction to the specific localities?" ”

Zhou Jinmian took a document and said: "Locally, Huaiyang Dao is the most optimistic, after all, there is Wang Laoshangshu here, and the Wang family members are not very reactive. Wang Zhen made a great effort, but according to the intelligence, your father-in-law, Lord Admiral, Governor Wang was not very happy. ”

Xie Shence was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Wang Ding was unhappy, naturally due to many reasons. But the most important thing is probably because when he and Wang Jiehua were about to get married, Wang Qingyan went to Jindu to find him privately. As for saying that the Wang family was not informed before that the martial arts hall and martial arts would make the Wang family feel uncomfortable or anything, Xie Shence didn't care.

Because of this matter, in a sense, it is also prying the roots of the Wang family, and it is reasonable that Xie Shence did not notify the Wang family in advance. The Wang family can support it, and it can be regarded as a great courage.

Zhou Jinmian glanced at Xie Shence, who had an unnatural face, and continued: "However, although the Governor Wang is very unhappy, he has not interfered in this matter, and he has done a lot. Controlling the situation in the prefectures and counties of Huaiyang Province, propagating propaganda in the army, and even doing what you call 'ideological work' among the younger generations of the Wang family, they have spared no effort. Therefore, Huaiyang Dao is the most successful in our propaganda. First, the Wang family's control in Huaiyang Road is incomparable. Second, Huaiyang Road is still open. As you said, Lord Admiral, the style of writing is civilized, and scholars do not respect the powerful and powerful, so many people are close to the martial arts and martial arts. ”

Xie Shence smiled and said, "That's it." Thinking about change when you are poor is applicable to most people in the world, but for Huaiyang Dao people, it is right to think about change when you are poor. Because of the abundance, I am optimistic, so I have more ideas about the current situation. The people are more willing to accept some things, especially those that have immediate benefits for themselves. This is our innate advantage in Huaiyang Dao, which is called having a mass foundation. ”

"Mass base?" Zhou Jinmian said strangely: "What is that?" ”

Xie Shence said: "To put it simply, if you compare the lecture hall to a policy, the more people who support it, the more smoothly it will be implemented. Then these supporters are the masses -- that is, the common people. These people are the basis on which the policy can be implemented. Generally speaking, it is inevitable that the martial arts hall will win the hearts of the people, but because of the existence of the county wangmen valve, the wishes of the people have been covered. ”

Zhou Jinmian said thoughtfully: "This is what you said about 'acting on behalf of the right'?" ”

"Yes, as you understand, the will of the majority of people is distorted and used by a small number of people grafted on their own will. As a result, the small part of the people has become the dominant ones, and the vast majority of people have become dispensable vassals. The existence of gate valves is just that. ”

Zhou Jinmian fell into deep thought again.

There are some words, Xie Shence can't say too clearly, what kind of feudalism is like this, even if Zhou Jinmian awakened earlier, it is impossible to accept it in a short time. Step by step, step by step, this is the right way. After all, only when you learn to walk, you can run, and you can read when you can read.

Strictly speaking, Zhou Jinmian is actually one of the types of people he hates, but Ti Qi like them gradually fades out of people's field of vision, and it is not as obvious as officials. Yet they are fundamentally the minority, the rulers at the top of the pyramid.

Is this the awakening of the landlord class?

One day at the beginning of June of the seventh year of the Great Jin Zhenglong, Xie Shence looked at Zhou Jinmian and thought like this.
