When Eleven Niang arrived in Taiyuan, she understood that if she wanted to implement the new policy smoothly, the key was to see whether she could get the support of the world, especially the four surnames in Taiyuan, if she could get their help, it would be twice the result with half the effort, but she knew that it must be political interests to impress the Meng, Liu, Zhen, and Zhu clans, and she couldn't swear openly and honestly as soon as she came up - then you have to make people believe in your empty promises, right?
So she didn't rush to get the four surnames, except for giving a slight response to Mrs. Zhen's show of sincerity.
The first thing she did was to appease the people, first lay the foundation of public opinion in the Jin Palace, and prevent the Mao Wei Party from having the opportunity to incite the people to riot.
Don't look at the Empress Dowager Wei and her henchmen don't really care about the people's hearts, once the Taiyuan turmoil, the people boycott the conscription order and the new policy, Mao Wei's party will immediately put the responsibility on the new political system, the queen mother in order not to bear the charge of "violent and unkind", will definitely punish the new political system to quell the turmoil - things in the world, often such a strange thing, in history, few civilians can rebel to dominate the country, but as long as there is a civil unrest, whether it is suppressed in the end or not, the ruler will almost be questioned by historians: it must be for the monarch to be unkind, perverse, It will cause civil unrest, and it is the king who will force the people to rebel. However, few historians criticize the people for rebellion, but the failure of the nobles to rebel often bears the infamy of rebellious ministers and thieves, which is not the fault of the monarch.
It is precisely because of Shi Bi's tolerance for the common people that those in power who care about the reputation of historical criticism, even if they are not truly benevolent and love the people, will often restrain their actions, and when the evil consequences are caused, they will immediately use the "corrupt and adulterous" law to put the black pot on the heads of others, thinking that they can escape the condemnation of Shi Bi.
Eleven Niang seems to be a person who can carry the black pot?
If she can't calm the people's hearts first, then she won't have the strength to fight Mao Wei at all.
So her first step was to let Lu Li take the lead in erecting the image of the New Deal as a fair and selfless person by investigating the illegal crackdown on tyrants, and the first person to hit the muzzle was Yu Yong, of course, he was just an unlucky substitute.
The people's hearts are settled, at least the four surnames in Taiyuan can understand the ability of the new political system, and they don't need to take the initiative to encircle them, they will secretly measure, at least determine that the new political system can fight with Mao Wei's party, and they are not in a hurry to surrender to Mao Wei.
And Mao Wei's various conspiracies were all smashed by Princess Jin one by one, which undoubtedly made the four surnames more certain, and the surrender of Princess Jin could indeed allow them to obtain great benefits, in the face of such interests, the loss of money and property is not worth mentioning.
Princess Jin then received the full support of three of the four surnames, and even Taiyuan Zhu, although he did not openly show his sincerity, also took the initiative to draw a line with Mao Wei, so that the group of the family would not resist the new deal.
Next is a part of the wealthy families that can be won over, and the princess also allows them to see the benefits that can make up for the loss of taxes, and when the majority of the people have accepted the new law, the minority will not be worried.
In fact, in short, the key is two words - interests!
So why is the experience of Taiyuan Province not replicable? The reason is very simple, because Eleven Niang, the head of the new political system, is unlikely to take on the official position of comprehensive law change, unless Empress Dowager Wei is willing to abolish the current son and let He Ye ascend the throne, Eleven Niang can order the subjects of the world to obey in the name of the queen.
Not to mention that this premise is simply a fantasy night, even if Empress Dowager Wei takes the wrong medicine and makes Princess Jin the queen of the Great Zhou, it is impossible for Eleven Niang to satisfy the desires of the world's nobles, unless she is forced to surrender by force, but at present, the external troubles have not been eliminated, and there are many internal worries, even if the Son of Heaven is replaced by He Ye, and Eleven Niang replaces Empress Dowager Wei, there is no such great energy to deter the ministers, so that the nobles in the world are willing to give up.
Even if the imperial court allows the "political interests" of the world's families, the world's families are not stupid, and how can they satisfy the children of the world's families with limited official positions? It's like having a big pie and dividing it equally among thousands of people.
Unlike the Taiyuan family, at least with the help of the princess of Jin, compared with the rest of the state families, they can get more advantages, that is to say, this "big cake" can only satisfy some of the families, but cannot cause all the families to salivate.
Seeing that Meng Jiu's sister-in-law suddenly realized, but she seemed to be annoyed and depressed, and even with a look of shame, Eleven Niang sighed: "Even though the Queen Mother knows that the new law is beneficial to the people, but above the court, there are indeed many officials who are resistant to the new law, not to mention the vast number of nobles, it is too difficult to change the law comprehensively, and it cannot be rushed, but the financial difficulties are imminent, and it cannot be relieved immediately by changing the law." โ
"But the widespread establishment of official kilns is indeed a bad government, do you really want to turn a blind eye and watch the people live in poverty and chaos?" Sister-in-law Meng Jiu also sighed.
"The ninth sister-in-law said that the kiln order is a bad government, and I will ask, Taiyuan Mansion also implements this order, will it cause public resentment to boil?"
Meng Jiu's sister-in-law was in her heart: "That's the truth!" It seems that the decree is good or bad, and it needs to be implemented on the real executor, the princess can complain to the queen mother, some local officials disregard the people's livelihood, force the kiln servants to work hard, so that countless people are sick and injured, and even do not let the kiln servants eat and be warm, and treat them like prisoners! โ
"If the Queen Mother asks me, why is it that I am in Taiyuan, but I can perceive things elsewhere?"
"The princess can explain to the queen mother that she is listening to the people who fled to Taiyuan to expose it."
"The wind is only the right to the imperial history, am I the imperial history? If there is no evidence to impeach the court officials, they will definitely be charged with the crime of framing. โ
Sister-in-law Meng Jiu couldn't help but be stunned.
"If I inspect privately, it is also ultra vires, and I also give authority to others." Shi Niang said again: "Sister-in-law Meng Jiu knows that the people who supervise the official kiln ministry now are not local officials, but the envoys appointed by the imperial court, and most of these people are Xu Shilang and his party relatives and friends who advocate the establishment of official kilns. โ
These envoys can already be called Xu Dang.
Xu Xiu can rely on the advice to set up an official kiln to please the Queen Mother, and now he has been promoted to the Ministry of Works, but don't look at the six departments, the Ministry of Industry has never been so important, but Xu Shilang has become a close minister of the Queen Mother, and He Zhan is the same, often by the Queen Mother's edict, the future is bright, naturally attracted many people to climb the slopes, the limelight is a hundred times better than before, and in order to seek more far-reaching interests, of course, he is conscientious, roll up his sleeves and prepare to do a big job, where can he tolerate someone "slandering" the party?
"Even if the Queen Mother trusts me a lot, but after all, I am far away in Taiyuan, and it is difficult to be closer to the court than Xu Shilang, if at this time, I have a dispute with him, the outcome is really unpredictable." Eleven Niang said more clearly.
She dared to calculate Mao Wei, firstly, because it was confirmed that Mao Wei had lost the trust of the Queen Mother, and secondly, she and Mao Wei were far away, and it was impossible for Xie Raoping and Yuan Dezhi to resist the New Deal to secretly help Mao Wei, but she had the arm of Shishilang, in such a situation, of course, she was not afraid that the Queen Mother would be dissatisfied with her because of Mao Wei's instigation.
It's just that the opponent was replaced by Xu Xiuneng, and Eleven Niang had to be cautious.
Not long ago, she got a secret report that Xu Xiuneng asked to marry the daughter of Wei Xiangfu, a concubine of Wei Yuanping, and determined to become Xu Xiuneng's father-in-law in the future.
And Xu Xiuneng has always been cautious, taking the path of "only minister", if he hadn't asked to marry Wei Xiang's granddaughter earlier, why did he delay so far, and once hit her with the idea? He now dares to openly marry the Wei family, which is obviously approved by the Queen Mother, that is to say, the Queen Mother is very happy to see Xu Xiuneng and Wei Yuanping "involved", which shows that the Queen Mother has dispelled her suspicions about Xu Xiuneng and attaches great importance to him.
Xu Xiuneng originally suspected that He Ye secretly harbored a heart of disobedience, and Eleven Niang deeply believed that for such a dangerous person, he could not be easily provoked, let alone take the initiative to give him the handle to use it to sow discord.
After all, she is already the princess of Jin, except for the military and political affairs of Taiyuan, it is not appropriate to get involved too much.
Otherwise, with Xu Xiu being able to "click and remind" on the side, it is difficult to guarantee that the Queen Mother will not suspect that her desire for power is strong.
Once the Queen Mother was given such an impression, as long as Xu Xiuneng revealed that she had already planned to marry King Jin, she might not make the Queen Mother suspicious.
Therefore, regarding the personnel of the court, as long as there is nothing to do with Taiyuan, Eleven Niang cannot ask or interfere, not only her, but even He Zhan must be cautious.
But regarding these concerns, Eleven Niang can't say it to Meng Jiu's sister-in-law.
She could only stop at the point: "At present, my consideration should be to focus on the situation in Taiyuan, and to avoid extraneous branches, about the people's livelihood situation in other places...... I really can't do anything, Meng Jiu's sister-in-law thinks about it, the imperial court has always appointed to supervise the imperial history, why haven't these shortcomings attracted the attention of the court officials? โ
