Chapter 762: The Little Emperor's New Troubles
Zhuang Wensheng left King Zhuang's study and went to the front yard to pack his baggage.
Just as he turned to go out, a lean man stood at the door.
The man seemed to be his age, with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and particularly shrewd eyes.
But at this time, his hair was in a messy bun, and there were scars on his face, and he looked a little embarrassed.
This man was born of a poplar.
Zhuang Wensheng didn't know why Yang Shusheng did this, and he didn't have the character and indomitable temperament that a scholar should have.
"Why are you here? I thought you were long gone. ”
Yang Shusheng was driven away by King Zhuang before, but King Zhuang's mansion was only allowed to enter and not go out, and he had no place to go at all, so he stayed in the palace with a dead face.
But these Zhuang Wensheng don't know.
In the past few days since Zhuang Wensheng came back, he had not seen Yang Shusheng at all.
But Yang Shusheng has heard a lot about Zhuang Wensheng, including that Zhuang Wensheng will stay in the capital, have an errand in the future, and so on.
Yang Shusheng said: "Brother Zhuang, you have been very valued by the prince these days." ”
Zhuang Wensheng remembered the previous grievances between the two of them, and smiled bitterly: "Brother Yang, why bother? You and I don't agree with each other, I don't care how much the prince values me, but I just take the salary given by the prince, I have to contribute to the prince.
I didn't want to take your position, I should say that I didn't want to fight you for anything.
So now you don't have to talk to me in a sour tone, I'm not in Zhuangwangfu in the future, so please do it. ”
Zhuang Wensheng walked out of the house with his burden, Yang Shusheng chased after him and said: "Brother Zhuang, Zhuang Wangfu has been defeated, and everyone is sending them out, I can't stay still, I know you have the ability, can you take your brother?" ”
Zhuang Wensheng turned around: "You want me to take you out?" He smiled faintly: "Brother Yang, I eat the whole family alone and don't go hungry, how can I take you?" ”
Yang Shusheng said in a low voice: "Brother Zhuang, I know that you have taken refuge in a big man, so you can pull my brother, I have saved twenty taels of silver over the years, and I will give it to you." ”
Yang Shusheng often gives King Zhuang small ideas, how can King Zhuang's reward be only twenty taels?
Yang Shusheng is a flattering villain, and he also picks the door, thinking that others are fools, and of course, he will also think that others are also villains.
Such a person, not to mention that the court can't use it, and neither should a normal person.
And Zhuang Wensheng knew that Yang Shusheng had already been named in Zhang Yong, a villain who was the master of the pit, and Yang Shusheng couldn't get along in the capital.
Zhuang Wensheng pushed Yang Shusheng's hand away: "Brother, whatever you think of me, I'll just say another word to you, the Tao is different, you and I are not all the way, you are good for yourself." ”
"Huh?! Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang ......"
Zhuang Wensheng's back is arrogant and resolute, like a high mountain under the sun, standing up to the sky, but it is also an obstacle.
Yang Shusheng was angry and crawled all over his cheeks: "The villain has the ambition, isn't it just to be a little official, what's the big deal?" The villain has a will, bah ......"
Of course, Yang Shusheng's jealousy and curses Zhuang Wensheng didn't hear it, and when he left Zhuang Wang's Mansion, he left this place of right and wrong.
In the following decades, Zhuang Wensheng relied on his smart mind and adaptability, he worked very well in the newspaper supervision department, helped the emperor complete the propaganda task after the reform, and married a woman familiar to the emperor and queen, gave birth to three children, and the family and career were both bumper, which can be said to be very outstanding and lucky.
After that, he never saw Yang Shusheng again, and Yang Shusheng didn't have any rumors, so he thought it was not good, of course, this is all a later story.
Zhuang Wangsheng's departure from Zhuang Wangfu heralded the fall of Zhuang Wangfu, and also heralded the beginning of the emperor's reform of the clan system.
However, any reform is risky and has a lot of obstacles, shaking the social class structure, this is a big task, can not be achieved overnight, so the emperor is still planning, and because the queen is pregnant, the little emperor is worried that there will be a big movement that will affect the queen's fetus, and he is even more benevolent to that side, so ten days have passed, and the holy decree of reform has been written, but I don't know whether it should be announced.
In the evening, the red glow flew into the sky and the cool breeze was gentle, which was a particularly beautiful day.
Li Zhao and Yang Houzhao talked about this incident at dinner in the banquet room.
Yang Houzhao said: "If it is announced, it will inevitably cause an uproar, if it was in the past, there would definitely be no concerns, but you told me that the reform must be done slowly, otherwise it will be dangerous, so I have been waiting, and the cabinet does not dare to move this part, do you think there is a way for us to make things smoother?" ”
Yang Houzhao wants to reform the hereditary system of the clan, but in fact, it is not a stick to kill, but a demotion to the lord.
When the prince attacks again, he is the prince of the county, and only the heir can inherit it, and if there is no heir, the title will be withdrawn.
And so on, after the king of the county, he is a prince, and after a few generations, this title is gone, and everyone is gone.
This is not the most thorough and powerful part of this reform, the great thing is that if the prince had five sons in the past, one inherited the prince's title, and the other four were all county kings.
This time, the branch was cut directly, and those who did not inherit the title could only divide the family and property.
Therefore, tens of thousands of descendants of Taizu are not members of the royal family, they are all commoners.
However, they are not enshrined, but they can be regarded as others as others.
But Li Zhao and Yang Houzhao both know that this way of ascending to the throne through their own efforts cannot move the hearts of those royal children, they will definitely want titles, and if there are too many people, they will make trouble.
And Li Zhao knew that in his previous life, didn't the prince of the northwest rebel, just to make a little noise in Tuntian, and now he wants his son to be an ordinary person, and he won't rebel?
Others too, it's terrible when there are too many people.
Li Zhao thought for a while and said: "The concubine has an idea, long live the lord, you see, why can the Zhuang Wangfu confiscate the land so smoothly this time, because there is an understanding of Zhuang Wensheng."
What if among these princes, there are also a few people who understand to take the lead? ”
Yang Houzhao said: "Then we will save a lot of trouble." ”
After saying that, the two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they both shook their heads with a wry smile.
In fact, they want to cut so many titles for the sake of the people, otherwise the people will pay empty taxes to feed these "wasted people".
But then again, since you can eat and drink well and be respected without labor, who will voluntarily give up the title, and who will do it for the people?
In their eyes, the people are used to collect taxes!
Yang Houzhao frowned suddenly.
