Chapter 1077 Implementation
"I'm not afraid, it's just ......" Qiu Yi's face was ugly, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "I just don't want the prestige of the ancestors to be damaged because of me!"
He looked at Cai Xiao with deep eyes, shook his head sadly and helplessly, and signaled to him with his eyes, this time, we can't win. He shook off Cai Xiao's hand and slowly walked to the side that supported the change.
Three days have passed, but Shangguan Xiu has no intention of dispersing the dynasty, obviously, he has already made up his mind, that is, he wants to forcibly push the change of the law, and competing with Shangguan Xiu at this time is a dead knot, and in the end he can't take any advantage at all.
Qiu Yi changed his position, and the chain reaction was that the number of ministers who opposed the change was reduced by more than half at once, and then, the ministers who still insisted on opposing the change were Cai Xiao, Han Ye and six or seven ministers.
After taking a bath, Shangguan Xiu returned to the main hall refreshed and continued to spend time with Cai Xiao and the others.
On the fifth day, there were no ministers who could still stand up, and people were either sitting on the ground weakly, or unconscious and lying on the ground, at this time, there were only two ministers left who insisted on standing on the side of opposing the change, one was Cai Xiao and the other was Han Ye.
Just when people thought that they would continue to consume endlessly, Tang Ling, who had not been in court for several days, finally appeared in the main hall.
The moment they saw Tang Ling, people seemed to have seen a savior, the people who were sitting on the ground immediately knelt up, and the people who were originally unconscious also woke up one after another, and knelt on the ground one by one, people looked at Tang Ling with tears in their eyes, choked up and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen knocks on Your Majesty......"
Compared with Shangguan Xiu, Tang Ling at this time was closer than his relatives in the minds of the ministers.
In the matter of implementing the law change, Shangguan Xiu did not use force against them, that is, he did not beat, scold, or kill, but only interfered with them, but this consumption took five days, and the torment he suffered in the past five days was more torturous than killing them directly.
Looking around at the people present, the ministers were all disheveled, disheveled, and their hair was messy, and their miserable and embarrassed appearance seemed to be worse than when they fled from Beijing.
If you don't look at it, you don't know, this day can really scare people. Tang Ling couldn't help but sigh secretly, and glared at Shangguan Xiu with resentful eyes. She walked to the dragon chair, turned around and sat down, and then waved her hand to everyone, and said, "All Aiqing should be flat!"
"Your Majesty!" the ministers supported each other and slowly stood up from the ground tremblingly. A few ministers had just gotten up and sat back on their knees again.
There was no need for the ministers to open their mouths to complain, Tang Ling took the initiative to say: "I already know about the implementation of the law change by the Guogong, I don't know what you Aiqing think about the law change?"
The crowd looked at each other, but no one spoke. Although most of the ministers were on the side of supporting the change, they were all forced, and they couldn't really let them express their stance in front of Tang Ling and support the change.
In the end, it was Cai Xiao who stepped out of the ranks, and when he stood up, his body swayed back and forth, he knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said: "Your Majesty, the nobles can't be abolished, and it is not feasible to change the law, please think twice!"
Tang Ling looked at Cai Xiao deeply, and then looked at the others, and said quietly: "The huge world of the Wind Country is based on your ancestors, and the Holy Ancestor Emperor and the Gaozu Emperor have joined hands to fight it. Gaozu, the southern expedition and the northern war, willing to sacrifice for the country, now, the country's danger, internal and external troubles, once again need you Aiqing to stand up and sacrifice for the country, is it that you no longer have the spirit of the ancestors?"
Hearing her question, everyone lowered their heads and knelt on the ground in unison, choking one after another.
Tang Ling continued: "The rebels have no way, just because of the implementation of the new law, so that a large number of people turn to support the rebels, if the imperial court continues to adhere to the old law, do not understand innovation, do not know how to adapt, I am afraid, the wind will be a catastrophe, never turn over." ”
Speaking of this, she stood up, walked down the steps, came to the crowd, and said meaningfully: "You Aiqing, and even your Aiqing's family, will I not understand your loyalty to me and follow me to the death?
Tang Ling's words made all the ministers present moved, and tears flowed down their faces, and people kowtowed forward, and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers know their mistakes!"
The implementation of the reform of the law is actually a tripartite contest between Tang Ling, Shangguanxiu, and the ministers of the DPRK and China. Fortunately, it was Tang Ling who was the first to make a compromise, or the first to figure it out. Tang Ling's change in attitude towards the reform of the law also directly affected the attitude of the ministers.
Cai Xiao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, kowtowed, and said: "If Your Majesty has really made up your mind, Weichen will swear to defend Your Majesty's decision and support the change!"
"The ministers are willing to share your Majesty's worries and support the reform of the law!" the rest of the ministers said in unison.
Hearing this, Tang Ling bit his lip, nodded slowly, and said, "I, thank you Aiqing here!"
This five-day-long discussion on the change of the law finally reached a consensus with the appearance of Tang Ling and her support for the change.
It can be said that in these short five days, the Wind Country has undergone a major turning point, the old and decaying laws have been abolished, and replaced by new laws that have truly revitalized the Wind Country.
In the old law, the common people of the Wind Country could be officials, but they could only achieve six grades at most, and officials above the sixth rank needed to have the corresponding titles. In the new law, this article was abolished, and even ordinary people, as long as they have the ability and real talent, they can become the first rank of the court.
In the old law, the salary of the officials of the Wind Country was not high, but the title was ridiculously high, so the ordinary people who were officials, if they really did the two sleeves of the breeze, their lives were not easy, and even the official robe was torn and they might not have the money to change it to a new one, while the aristocratic officials were just the opposite, even if they had clean sleeves, were honest and honest, and they could eat a lot of fat just by eating the title. In the new law, all titles and titles were deprived, and instead, there was a significant increase in official positions, and it was not a few times or more than ten times, but dozens or hundreds of times.
The reason why Shangguan Xiu has increased the number of officials by so much is, to put it bluntly, the policy of high salaries and honest pensions. Use the rich and good money to attract talented and talented people to enter the court as officials, and use the good money to force you not to be corrupt, because the little money you embezzle is nothing to the monthly income you get, but once it is revealed, the price you pay is too heavy.
Officials no longer need a title, and the title can no longer receive a salary, these two policies alone have basically turned the aristocracy into a nominal name, coupled with other policies, there is almost no difference between the aristocracy and the common people, but the reputation is better.
The new law implemented by the Tang Ling court caused an uproar throughout the country, and there were still a large number of nobles in Feng County, Mo County, An County, and Sichuan County, waiting for the Tang Ling court to fight back, and as a result, the Tang Ling court also began to implement a new policy, and like the Tang Yu court, the noble privileges were abolished.
The nobles who were waiting for the return of the king were disappointed and almost on the verge of despair. On the contrary, the people are all overjoyed, especially those who are talented and ambitious, and they all think that they finally have the opportunity to make a big difference.
As the saying goes, learn literature and martial arts, and goods are with the emperor's family, but the people want to serve the court, and no one will find a court to serve. Tang Yu's court, even if it occupies Shangjing, even if Tang Yu has been proclaimed emperor, but in the eyes of the people, it is still a rebel army, a pseudo-court that goes against the sky. And even if the Tang Ling court retreated to Xijing and ran to the border Zhenjun, in the hearts of the people, it was still an orthodox court.
In the eyes of many people of insight, if you serve the Tang Yu court, you will become a thief, and only if you serve the Tang Ling court, that is the right way.
Therefore, under the same situation of implementing the new law and implementing the principle of meritocracy, there were far more people who took refuge in the Tang Ling court than in the Tang Yu court. This is the difference between orthodoxy and unorthodoxy. From this incident, it can also reflect the general psychology of the people of the Wind Country, people are not optimistic about Tang Yu, even if he occupies the four richest eastern counties in the Wind Country, people still look at Tang Ling, and it is precisely because people are optimistic about Tang Ling, so many people dare not go to Tang Yu, dare not serve Tang Yu's court, Shangguan Xiu's treatment of the rebels, the people of the Wind Country have been taught, even if it has been a few years, people still remember it vividly.
After the Tang Ling court implemented the law change, in the next few days, the civil sparseness increased greatly.
That night, as soon as Shangguan Xiu walked into the dormitory, he saw Tang Ling sitting on the table, and there was a large box on the side, which was full of letters.
Shangguan Xiu stepped forward, picked up a letter casually, and opened it, the content of which was written by a Viscount of Yujun, who stated the disadvantages of the new law in the letter, and reminded Tang Ling that it was unwise to replace the old law with the new law.
After a general glance, Shangguan Xiu put the study aside, and picked up another one, this letter was written by the nobles of Fengjun, and I don't know how the letter was sent from Fengjun to Xijing, the content of it is similar to the previous one, but the words are more intense, pointing out that if Tang Ling applies the old law, the nobles of Fengjun will fully support her, and if she implements the new law, the nobles of Fengjun will fully support Tang Yu.
After reading it, Shangguan Xiu snorted coldly, threw away the letter, and took out a few letters one after another, all of which were the same, all written by nobles, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction with the new law. He asked, "Xiang'er, these are ......?"
"In recent days, the imperial court has received a civil dismissal. Tang Ling said casually. She put down the letter in her hand, looked up at Shangguan Xiu, and asked, "Ah Xiu, what do you think of these Shangshu?"
Shangguan Xiu didn't answer immediately, but pulled it in the box for a long time, and finally found a letter from a civilian, and interestingly, this letter from a civilian, also supported the old law.
He burst out laughing, laughed angrily, and asked, "Xiang'er, where did these letters come from?"
"The people are sparse, so naturally they will first hand it over to the Inner History Mansion, and then the Inner History Mansion will submit it to me. Tang Ling said as it should be.
Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that Han Ye, the newly appointed Minister of Internal History, has not done his duty!"
The imperial court implemented the new law, how could all the civil sparse received be impeachment of the new law, and how could it be that those who supported the old law were all nobles, obviously, someone did something to it, and secretly withheld the upper sparse of the ordinary people who supported the new law, and only sent these ghost things to Tang Ling. He glanced at the big box on the ground, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Lord Han, who was born in a civilian family, is still an unwavering supporter of the old law!"
