"Your Majesty, don't kill the grass people, the grass people, the grass people still have a lot of talent to use for Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Zu Ting couldn't take care of it anymore, and hurriedly showed his value. A valuable person will be valued at all times.

Zu Ting wants the emperor not to kill him, and the most important thing is to let the emperor see his ability to govern the country and secure the world!

So Zu Ting went out and took out all his skills:

"Your Majesty, now I have three major troubles, so I must be cautious!

First, the power is not centralized, the local government affairs are mostly controlled by the small officials below, most of these people are generations of inherited officials, controlled by the local wealthy families, although the court is interested in reforming the evils, but if the people below do not respect the order, the yang and the yin disobey, and the people are expropriated violently, and the final loss is the vitality of the people and the prestige of the court!

This is not the first time that this situation has happened, the order issued by the imperial court to the local government is fifteen taxes and one, and they dare to declare that it is ten taxes and one, or even five taxes and one!

Most of the taxes paid by the people fell into the mouths of these people!

Moreover, these people are lawless, snakes and rats, colluding with each other, using the granary and money bank of the state capital as their own backyard, and letting them eat and ask for it!

During the Heqing period, it was also a great drought, and the imperial court ordered people to open the granaries of local counties and counties.

Your Majesty, there is a fire here, and this is clearly someone deliberately setting fire!

In the end, the court only caught a few scapegoats and belittled the officials, as the saying goes, 'The king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult.' These people have been entrenched in the local area for many years, and they are supported by local wealthy families, and they are becoming more and more unscrupulous, and even the officials dare not take it seriously!

In the long run, the foundations of the nation will be ruined by these people!

Your Majesty wants to purge Daqi from top to bottom, and these people are Your Majesty's obstacles! Your Majesty must not be cautious! ”

A gleam flashed in Gao Wei's eyes, and the trouble Gao Rui is facing in Taishan County now is this, so he said:

"I already know, go on."

Zu Ting was a little more confident, and then said: "Second, in the court, His Majesty introduced Han officials to replace Xianbei officials who were not familiar with government affairs, and cleared many obstacles in government affairs.

It's just that His Majesty has a fatal drawback in doing this, that is, it has led to civil and military confrontation!

It was originally a good policy that the civil arts did not interfere with the armed forces, the armed forces did not involve in politics, and they did not interfere with each other.

It's just that above the court now, most of the martial arts are Xianbei lords, and most of the civil officials are Han. The two parties are incompatible with each other, and they are in the same situation!

His Majesty is mighty and has suppressed the contradiction between the civil and military, but if this goes on for a long time, then the confrontation between the civil and military, and even the confrontation between Xianbei and Han, will become more and more contradictory, and finally irreconcilable! Don't be careful!

According to the grass people's view, His Majesty should choose those who are well-read and sensible among the Xianbei to be elected as civil officials, and then let the Han people also enlist in the army and make contributions on the battlefield! In this way, the great trouble can be solved!

There is also a need to beware of excessive authority among the courtiers and the party.

Now Zhao Yanshen is the head of the civil ministers, and Hu Luguang is the head of the martial arts, which is already famous, but His Majesty appointed Hu Luguang as the privy envoy and Zhao Yanshen as the first assistant of the cabinet, so that their authority will undoubtedly be further deepened!

Maybe now they are loyal to the court and to His Majesty, but who can guarantee it in the future?

If it is allowed to develop, I am afraid that Wang Mang will be in trouble! The grass people suggested that both the Cabinet and the Privy Council should serve for a period of time, and one person should not be in charge of the Cabinet and the Privy Council for more than five years! ”

Zu Ting felt Gao Wei's eyes show appreciation, and he became bolder, and took the initiative to continue, "Also, the most important point is that the contradiction between Xianbei and the Han people cannot be delayed any longer...... Xianbei people regard the oppression of Han people as a matter of course, and there are often murders.

The minister suggested that His Majesty should use coercive means to force the Xianbei people to obey the discipline! Make an example!

Suppress the trend of Xianbei oppressing the Han people, so that the country can be stable, and the court can get more Han people's support!

Our national strength will be greatly enhanced! ”

Cushman raised his chin, looked at him, and asked, "That's it?" ”

Zu Ting's excited expression froze, "Grass people, grass people still have some advice......

Gao Wei waved his hand and said, "No need to ......, you just said that it is difficult for Xianbei and Han to get along, I ask you, do you have a way to solve this problem?" ”

The reason why he avoided the important and trivialized just now and didn't dwell too much on this issue was because this problem was too troublesome and too wide-ranging, who dared to say that he could definitely solve it?

Therefore, Zu Ting just threw out this question and gave a reliable and feasible suggestion, and he didn't dare to guarantee the rest.

Gao Wei still looked at him, his face was as flat as water, waiting to hear how Zu Ting answered, if Zu Ting couldn't answer, or it was still the same as just now, then this person meant that to Gao Wei, and it was not interesting to keep it......

Zu Ting choked, paused for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "The grass people have a way!" ”

Cushman & Wakefield was succinct," he said. ”

Zu Ting replied: "The root cause of the contradiction between Xianbei and Han people is that Xianbei does not recognize Han culture, and the two ethnic groups look down on each other and hate each other!"

If you want Xianbei people to learn the rules, you must not only be virtuous, but also be powerful!

The imperial court should vigorously punish lawlessness and inferiority, rectify the rule of law, and make everyone in the world abide by the laws of Qi ......"

Zu Ting saw sweat on his forehead, this is by no means something that can be done by killing a few Xianbei people, when the time comes, there will be a lot of people rolling and blood flowing like a river! The government and the opposition will be in turmoil!

"What else?" Cushman & Wakefield was expressionless, as if he didn't take the consequences of doing so to heart at all.

Zu Ting continued: "The grass people ask Your Majesty to promote sinicization! Let the Xianbei people wear the same clothes as the Han people, abandon the customs of the grassland barbarians, encourage Xianbei to intermarry with the Han people, and encourage Xianbei to engage in production like the Han people! Order to move within the Xianbei and Gaoche tribes of the Youzhou and Bingzhou generations! ”

Gao Wei nodded and said: "I have wanted to do this for a long time, but first, I have to arrange the disasters of Mount Tai and Jianghuai, so that I can have strength, and secondly, I will also integrate the Han people into the army, Zuo Xiang has not yet achieved a big victory, I do not have such great authority to do the latter points for the time being, but I can guarantee that in Daqi, no one dares to blatantly violate the law!" ”

Zu Ting couldn't help but remind: "But Your Majesty, if you really do what the grass people say, then it will definitely cause a big backlash from the Xianbei Lord!" The imperial court will be in danger of overturning! Your Majesty thinks twice! ”

Gao Huan didn't dare to do this step at the beginning, this is the most fierce and dangerous move!

But if this matter is not solved, then the Northern Qi will still be weakened, even if Gao Wei reforms the rule of officials, but the fundamental problem cannot be solved!

Gao Wei's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he said, "It's difficult? ......, if it's hard to do, won't it be done? Over the years, because of this problem, my Daqi has been in danger and terminally ill, if I don't make up my mind to scrape the bones and cure the poison, then, my Daqi will collapse sooner or later, and it will never last long! ”

Gao Wei calmed down, "Besides, I want to do it, but I haven't lost my mind, if I rush to implement sinicization, it will inevitably lead to a riot on the side of the lord."

Therefore, before I do it, I still need to be stable and accumulate the general trend step by step. When the left minister wins the battle on the front line, and the disaster situation in Shandong and Jianghuai is resolved, I will have enough authority to guide this matter. This can't be rushed...... If you eat too much in one bite, you will die, I understand this truth......"

Gao Wei looked at Zu Ting, his face was cold, and said, "Zu Ting, although you are not virtuous, you do have goods in your stomach...... I have forgiven you.

And I will reinstate you as an official, worship the secretary and supervisor, add the imperial doctor, and the three divisions! You go to see your eyes first, and tomorrow morning, go to the cabinet to report......"

Zu Ting burst into tears with excitement, knelt on the ground and choked up and couldn't speak, "Minister...... Thank you, Lord Longne! ”

Gao Wei got off the dragon chair, and when he was leaving, he instructed the brocade armor soldier: "Send a pot of imperial wine to the king of Dong'an County...... I want you to watch him drink it with your own eyes!" ”

Zu Ting, who was moved and crying, shuddered fiercely.

In January of the first year of Wuping, Emperor Gao Wei swept down the rebellion, and ordered Hu Luguang to lead 40,000 iron horsemen to aid Luoyang.

At the end of the month, Cushman & Wakefield admitted 50 scholars, which was the first of its kind in the examination.

On the same day, Lou Rui, the king of Dong'an County, died violently at home, and the lord of Qi allowed Lou Rui to be buried with the rites of the prince.

The cabinet ushered in a new member, Zu Tingguan was reinstated, and he was appointed as the secretary and supervisor, the imperial historian, and the three secretaries of Yitong, and officially entered the cabinet.

Hu Luguang led an army of 40,000 to approach Luoyang, and Luoyang had held out for more than three months at this time.
