"After the early dynasty, news came from the north that the Yan Kingdom had carried out reforms, and the emperor of the Yan Kingdom intended to break the gap between the people and the people." Emperor Jing'an shared the news, and his tone was quite meaningful.

Yan is a large country entrenched in the north of Da Yue, and its strength is not as strong as that of Da Yue, but it can also pose a big threat to Da Yue by uniting several small countries around it.

The founding emperor of the Yan State learned the set of the Dayue Emperor's division of the people when he founded the country, so there are also the people of the people.

Han Shoufu, who was still grieving, was stunned, and Chen Qingfeng was also stunned.

"What did you say, Your Majesty?" Chen Qingfeng suspected that his ear had misheard.

"The Yan State has carried out the reform of the people." Emperor Jing'an was unimpressed by Chen Qingfeng's unreasonableness, which was expected by him.

Chen Qingfeng heard it clearly this time, and that sentence was directly engraved in his mind and echoed in his ears.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?

"Your Majesty, can you make it clear, to what extent is the break?" After a while, Chen Qingfeng asked slightly tentatively.

"The scholars are no longer hereditary, whether they can become scholars depends on their contributions, the commoners are scholars if they make meritorious contributions, and the descendants of scholars are the people if they do not make meritorious contributions." Emperor Jing'an patiently explained.

Chen Qingfeng turned his head to look at Han Shoufu and found that Han Shoufu was also looking at him, and they all had a question in their minds, was the Emperor of Yan going crazy?

"There is no mutiny among the domestic scholars in the Yan Kingdom?" Chen Qingfeng continued to ask.

"Yes, but it was suppressed by the Emperor of Yan and the people." Emperor Jing An said with a smile.

"Then what did Your Majesty want to hear from us about this?" Han Shoufu's sad expression was swept away, and he was replaced by caution.

"You say, is it possible for this to happen in Da Yue?" Emperor Jing An asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, no!" Han Shoufu shouted directly without thinking.

"Your Majesty, no." Chen Qingfeng also echoed and shouted.

Emperor Jing'an waved his hand and smiled warmly, "Aiqing, don't get excited, I'm just asking for a possibility." ”

"Tell me why you think it's not possible." Emperor Jing'an leaned forward with a look of great importance.

"Your Majesty, the first is against the ancestral system, the distinction between the people and the people is determined by Emperor Gaozu, and Your Majesty, as a descendant, should not be changed." Han Shoufu looked like he was defending the ancestral system.

Chen Qingfeng was a little funny in his heart, and secretly laughed at Han Shoufu for being too hypocritical, he knew that Han Shoufu, or the princes of the court, were not people who cared about the ancestral system, and said these things just to avoid falling behind.

Han Shoufu continued: "Second, the change will touch the interests of the Shi clan, the Shi clan is the foundation of my Dayue country, and its strength is far superior to that of Beiyan, so it should not be moved lightly." The focus of the second sentence is that the strength is strong, far superior to that of the Northern Yan, which means that the strength of the Northern Yan Shi clan is not strong, and the resistance is not great, and it has no reference value for a country like Da Yue, which is a strong Shi clan.

"Third, Your Majesty, you have just ascended to the Great Treasure, and your foundation is not stable, and it is difficult to convince the public." It means that the emperor, your words are not as good as those of the Yan State in Dayue, and the words of the emperor are effective in the Yan Kingdom.

"And the people of Beiyan are fierce, which is different from my Dayue." Han Qingfeng added on the side, which means that the people of Beiyan will support their emperor, but our people are more cowardly. No one may dare to support you.

Emperor Jing'an sat on the dragon chair and looked at the two people who admonished him in the audience, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little displeased, "I know, you guys go down." ”

"Wechen retired." Han Chen and the others spoke in unison, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

When they left the study, they realized that they were soaking wet.

They thought about reform, they thought about giving civilians the opportunity to become nobles, but they didn't think about such a radical change.

They originally thought that Emperor Jing'an was a supporter of their reforms, but they did not expect that Emperor Jing'an's ideas were more radical than theirs.

Just now, if they agree with that matter even a little, it will make them doomed.

Although Emperor Jing'an withdrew in advance, and there were only the two of them and Emperor Jing'an in the imperial study, they were not sure whether what they said would be leaked by the other party, and they were not sure if this was a trick set by Emperor Jing'an for them.

Although we are now in the same boat, it is impossible to be completely honest with each other.

This is how many reforms throughout history have often failed.

……

"Sir, it's time to rest." Outside Pei's study, Mrs. Pei's gentle and considerate voice came.

Pei Zongmin has been in the study for three consecutive days, and the book on the desk has not been turned for three days.

Pei Zongmin pondered in the study, a little at a loss. The imperial court's envoy may come to Xijing at any time.

"Yes, ma'am." Pei Zongmin replied softly, his wife has been considerate to him for more than 20 years, whether he is proud or frustrated in officialdom, he treats him very well, and now he is in an irritable mood, but he can't be fierce to his wife no matter what.

"Think about it tomorrow!" Pei Zongmin sighed, planned to go out to accompany his wife, got up and walked out of the study.

The moment he walked out of the study, he was greeted not by a gentle wife, but by a strange woman with a cold face.

"Hello Master Pei." The woman smiled coldly.

……

On the second day, in Chen's mansion, Bai Min and Chen Bubu were eating breakfast in the dining room.

"Lao Bai, you look at the porter Lao Zhang, his fingers are rough, what kind of hand does a porter have to move? At first glance, it was due to cultivation, and eighty percent of it was arranged by my father. Chen didn't know how to approach Bai Min and whispered.

Bai Min: ......

Bai Min treats people gently on weekdays, likes to chat with the servants, and the servants are also willing to talk to him, so he knows that the calluses on Lao Zhang's hands are caused by rough work when he was young, and when he is old and can't do it, he entrusts the relationship to enter the Chen Mansion as a porter.

Bai Min just wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he said to Chen Buzhi seriously: "I think your analysis is very reasonable, be careful when you encounter Lao Zhang on weekdays." ”

Chen didn't know that he was recognized, and nodded, "yes, you think so too." ”

Coincidentally, the porter Lao Zhang came over at this time.

Chen Buzhi's eyes suddenly became a lot more vigilant.

"Young master, Zhao Huiyan and Zhao Gongzi ask to see you." Lao Zhang was taken aback by the young master's eyes, and muttered a little in his heart: Why is the young master looking like this today?

"Zhao Huiyan? Let him in. Chen Buzhi said, word by word, very careful, without the lightness of the past.

Old Zhang Xin said that it was strange, on weekdays, the young master only looked like this when the master was there, but he didn't think much about it, turned around and went out of the house to bring Zhao Huiyan in.

"Zhao Huiyan, what is the matter with you coming to me?" Chen asked.

Zhao Huiyan had 10,000 question marks in his heart, and said in his heart This is not your style of speaking, what you shouldn't say is: Zhao Huiyan, why did you come to be a dead fat man? What's going on today?

"Chen Gongzi, my father asked me to come over and deliver a message." Zhao Huiyan also said it at a glance. This kind of thing, in fact, there is no need to let Zhao Huiyan come, just send a catcher and a servant, Zhao Yong asked Zhao Huiyan to come, it is to save the meaning of letting Zhao Huiyan and Chen Zhizhi make more friends.

"What letter?" Chen asked.

"Pei Zongmin was killed, and none of the forty-seven people in Pei's mansion survived except Pei Zhi."
