The maid asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Li Rulan said: "Don't worry, I won't go back during this time, find a way to stay here longer." ”

In fact, she didn't want to go back at all, and followed Guangping to wait at the border, although there was no shortage of silver taels in Houfu, but there was no shortage of silver taels at the border, and it was hard to live.

Thinking that the yellow sand there had wrinkled her face, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

She was in her early twenties, and she had come back yesterday to visit the Madies, many of whom looked a few years younger than her.

And now that she is young, she has fine lines at the corners of her eyes, which makes her not angry.

And the operation of the Houfu made her even more tired, and now that she is back, she feels that the days at the border are not people's lives.

Why did she accompany him to endure hardships there?

It's just that she, as Mrs. Qing's proud protégé, has always flaunted herself as gentle and virtuous, a standard virtuous woman, and naturally she will not say her true thoughts and slap herself in the face.

Therefore, others naturally just thought that she was worried about her mother's recent situation and came back to fulfill her filial piety.

That's what she's always said to the outside world.

.

Ten days later.

Zhao Yi has been in court for a few days, and he went out again this afternoon, and it is estimated that something is going on.

Li Baojia was swinging alone in the backyard outside the palace.

Recently, several major events have taken place in the court.

First of all, the Zhou family was found to be collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the prince personally issued an edict to investigate and punish the Zhou family and exile them to the north.

When this edict came out, both the government and the opposition were shocked.

The Zhou family is a first-class family in the Jokhang family, and it is the mother family of the queen's mother, and it stands to reason that the status is the most stable, and it was investigated and exiled overnight, like a dream.

The most strange thing is the attitude of the queen, when such a big event happened, she was quiet, only shrunk in the palace and didn't even say a word.

What they never expected was that this incident was just the beginning.

The eldest son of Wei Guogong suddenly wrote a letter to kill his relatives and to denounce Wei Guogong's crimes.

The parent and son sued their father and received a hundred whippings, and Wei Jiangsheng was born without saying a word.

He went to the capital government to write a pleading, which detailed the various crimes of Wei Guogong, and also brought ironclad evidence such as account books and letters, which almost broke the old background of Wei Guogong.

One of the most important is the sale of illicit salt and the illegal manufacture of weapons.

There was an uproar.

Wei Guogong was arrested and taken out of prison that night, and when he was dragged away, he shouted that his son had harmed him, and tears flowed down his eyes.

After the trial of Dali Temple, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince re-examined and found a series of families related to this case.

This case is widely implicated, and a series of families in the capital are either beheaded or exiled to the border.

The eldest son of the Duke of Wei was awarded meritorious service due to the righteous destruction of his relatives, and was able to inherit the title of Duke of Wei and become the new Duke of Wei, and the youngest duke of this dynasty, and was not implicated.

The outside world has mixed reviews of him, but the family hates him to the core.

In recent years, the family's annexation of land has become more and more arrogant, almost monopolizing the official position of the court, the Jokhang treasury is empty, and the tax revenue has decreased year by year.

This time is just a pretense, a fuse, and they all know inside that on the surface, it is to investigate the sale of illicit salt, but in fact it is to investigate land annexation.

Those arrogant gentry who forcibly ploughed the fields everywhere, which one was not in a different place, and blood was splashed on the spot?

Yesterday was still guarding the silver and spending the sky and drinking, and today is the separation of the body and the head.

For a while, the family in the capital was in danger, and the court was silent, and a few old foxes in the court quickly saw that something was wrong, and they panicked and expressed their heartfelt hearts, donated land, and donated silver to save their lives.

This practice was soon imitated, and the treasury was soon filled, and Zhao Yi allocated the silver to various places in the disaster, and a large part of it was used for military affairs in the north.

Not long after the turmoil subsided, there was another thunderstorm, and several scholars from the Hanmen Cabinet jointly wrote a letter requesting the abolition of the imperial examination quota system.

The original imperial examination not only looked at the articles to see the talents, but also looked at the family background.

There are places for the imperial examination, and the stronger the family, the more places, and the remaining examination places are distributed to the states and cities.

At this time, there are not many places left, not to mention that the examiner has always been occupied by the family, and the possibility of black-box operation is greater.

Therefore, over the years, there have been fewer and fewer people who have passed the imperial examinations, and the family has almost monopolized the road to being an official.

Once this system is reformed, the family will face being marginalized, the children of the family will no longer be protected, and no one can say what the future of the family will be.

If the previous ones are okay, the later behavior of changing the imperial examination is simply stepping on the sore feet of the family, and they are in a hurry to jump up and admonish.

Strongly state the benefits of the quota imperial examination system, the ancestral rules, and do not change the clouds at will.

Most of the people who asked for restructuring were poor officials, and the court quarreled over this matter, and they were divided into two factions, so they fought in the court.

Although some of the previous actions hurt the foundation of the family, it is just enough to scatter some property, and you can earn it back in the future.

But this latter move is simply going to smoke their roots.

Without this system, the influence of the family will only be weakened indefinitely in the future, where can it still stand in the court?

It was worse than killing them.

It is rare that Zhao Yi did not express his opinion on this matter, and in the past few days, he has been handed in like crazy, but he still has no action.

In the court, you fight for me, open guns and hidden arrows, he seems to have no idea, he goes to the court step by step every day, and listens to the people below who earn red faces.

It wasn't until last night that the heads of the families who danced the most suddenly died violently one after another, and they came back to their senses as if they were drinking on the head.

Immediately, some people understood that if the Hanmen faction did not have the support of the prince behind them, how could they dare to raise the flag and shout for reform.

The crown prince is not satisfied with solving the land annexation matter at all, he is trying to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, completely weaken the family, and stabilize the imperial power!

However, now that it is too late to understand, no matter how shocked the family is that Zhao Yi's methods are ruthless, they can only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

Compared with Zhao Yi, these people are like living for decades in vain, and the previous actions have caused the family to mess up, competing to bankrupt and fill the treasury to protect themselves, and when they are dying, they will step on the last foot and completely step on them into the dust.

After killing people, he has to skin and cramp to make the best use of it, he is talking about him.

The most terrifying thing is from beginning to end, whether it is Wei Jiang suing his father in the front, or the battle for the reform of the imperial examination in the back, Zhao Yi has an expression, and his smile seems to be carved out of the mold, but they no longer feel that his smile is as clear as before, it is as terrifying as the Lord of Yama in hell!

Wei Jiang is just the eldest son of the unfavored Duke of Wei who has no power, no power and no support, where did he have such great ability to collect evidence and engage in this righteous extermination of relatives?

If you want to say that there is no shadow of the prince behind this, who dares to believe it.

After this incident, the family problems that have accumulated disadvantages for a long time and plagued generations of kings were wiped out in the hands of Zhao Yi.

This year was recorded in history, known as the Hanmen Change.
