After Liu Yu and Wu Fu expressed their positions, Huang Wan, Yin Xun, Ma Riyan and others also stood up one after another, and said indignantly: "Not bad! We are determined to do the same! ”

In the end, Lu Zhi was the only one left who did not express his position. With the support of so many people, Ma Chao could not suppress the joy in his heart. But Ma Chao also knew that Lu Zhihai's reputation was the leader of this group of pure ministers. His position can only influence the position of these ten people.

Ma Chao looked at Lu Zhi's resolute and square face nervously, waiting for his decision. Liu Yu, Yang Biao, Jia Xu and others also set their eyes on Lu Zhi with expectation. The entire lobby was full of rhetoric at the last moment, but at this moment, it was silent for Lu Zhi alone.

Lu Zhi, who was silent, first turned his head and looked at his friends one by one. Seeing that Liu Yu, Wang Gui and the others were all resolute, they quietly turned around and carefully looked at Ma Chao, who was sitting in danger. Seeing that Ma Chao was also resolute, Lu Zhi looked at Jia Xu, Man Chong, Yang Biao and Cai Yong who were sitting beside Ma Chao.

After looking at it, Lu Zhi slowly stood up from his seat, walked to Ma Chao's seat, and bowed deeply to Ma Chao in a dignified manner. Ma Chao didn't know what Lu Zhi's intention was to bow this way, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

When Lu Zhi straightened up, his face had changed to the same resolute color as Ma Chao, Liu Yu and others. Lu Zhi said solemnly: "Gongshang has such lofty ambitions in the year of bundling his hair. The old man is about to die, but he is far from being as good as the public, and he is really ashamed. Since he was a child, the old man has been determined to save the people, and he has helped the community, and the old man's teachers and friends also have this ambition. Therefore, in the future, the old man and others are willing to work together to punish the family and curb the merger, how do you want to do it? ”

When Lu Zhi said this, it was a certainty. Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the people were like unloading a big stone. Ma Chao hurriedly got up from his seat, Ma Chao was so excited that he even forgot to return the salute, but was so excited that he grabbed Lu Zhi's arm tightly with both hands, and said gratefully: "With the help of the public, why don't you worry about your ambitions?" What's more, why worry about the world? In the future, the power of the family will live up to the rampant, the rituals of the Han family temple will be continued, and all the people in the world will return to life, all of which will be given by the public! Super here, thank the righteous people for thousands of people, stand up, please accept the super worship! ”

As he spoke, Ma Chao respectfully bowed to Lu Zhi, Yang Biao, Liu Yu and other fourteen people.

Lu Zhi in front of him hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Ma Chao, and Yang Biao, Liu Yu and others returned the salute.

Ma Chao straightened up and took a look, and everyone was so excited that their eyes were slightly red, and they couldn't help but feel more relieved. Ma Chao stretched out his hand to make a gesture of "please" and said: "Since the public is willing to become Chao's fellow believers, and intend to help the community and save the people from fire and water, then we can sit down and immediately start discussing how to do it." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, sorted out their excited moods, and sat down on their knees again.

Ma Chao said: "Since this matter was first proposed by Naichao, and Chao had also thought about it when he came to Beijing, please Rong Chao first tell me about the plan in Chao's heart." ”

Lu Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Please talk about it in detail, I will wait for the old man to listen." ”

Ma Chao said: "The public also knows that the reason why His Majesty summoned this foreign general to lead troops into Beijing is actually to use Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry to balance the general He Jin. Your Majesty really wants to be super, so Chao intends to make a deal with the Son of Heaven. ”

Liu Yu asked suspiciously, "I don't know what the deal is?" ”

Ma Chao smiled and said: "It's very simple, Chao obediently obeys Your Majesty's orders, and completely suppresses the general He Jin for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty's imperial power is no longer restrained by your relatives." And in return, after the matter is completed, His Majesty must entrust Chaochao with great power, and let Chao use the power of the imperial court to carry out the plan to attack the family. ”

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and said steadily: "Your Majesty has always suffered from the fact that the power of the imperial court and the military power of Gyeonggi are in the hands of his relatives. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he has always wanted to take away the power of the general. However, His Majesty's most relied on ten permanent servants did not have much military power, and when the queen poisoned the beauty, defending the queen must have already attracted His Majesty's distrust. ”

Liu Yu also stroked his beard calmly and said, "Not only that, but Your Majesty has discussed the choice of the crown prince with me and other clan ministers more than once. Although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, the old man knew that the crown prince that His Majesty wanted to set up was the Second Prince Association. But because Empress He controlled the harem, and the general He Jin dominated the previous dynasty, His Majesty failed to get what he wanted. ”

Lu Zhi said: "Yes, the public plan is very dangerous, but in order to seize power and successfully canonize the crown prince, there is still a high probability that he will agree to the public deal." ”

Ma Chao said happily: "Yes, Chao also assumes the same idea. ”

Wu Fu hesitated and said: "But don't be afraid of it, in case Your Majesty pretends to agree, but in fact crosses the river and demolishes the bridge after the matter is completed?" ”

Ma Chao smiled: "Captain Wu doesn't have to worry. With the power of His Majesty, he cannot be deceived yet. Moreover, there are unparalleled Xiliang soldiers in the world. In the lower part of the song, he is not only good at cavalry and field warfare, but also good at spears and brave in foot combat, and it is not difficult to control a Luoyang City. If Your Majesty is really treacherous, it will be a big deal to burn it with the jade! ”

When Wu Fu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "In order to eliminate the evils of the times and save the lives of the world, you can ignore your life, and you can do it in Xiafuru!" ”

Ma Chao said: "Captain Wu has an overreputation. After seizing the power of the general He Jin, Chao began to use the power of the imperial court and began to implement the plan. The plan is carried out in ten steps:

The first step is to reform the imperial court system, and take the public as the chief official of each key department of the imperial court, and fully grasp the power of the imperial court; The second step is to fight corruption, and in the name of anti-corruption, reduce the local officials from the sons of the family, and generally control the prefectures and counties; The third step is to try to encircle and select the poor scholars; The fourth step is to provide relief to the displaced people, and at the same time count the total number and distribution of displaced people in each state and county in the world, so as to keep it for future reference;

In the fifth step, all the terra nullius in the world shall be nationalized, and the prefectures and counties shall be counted and collected to the imperial court, and no one shall be allowed to occupy them; In the sixth step, the right to use all terra nullius land was implemented in accordance with the principle of adapting measures to local conditions, and distributed to the displaced people for cultivation, and the imperial court and prefectures and counties distributed some grain to the displaced people as growing grain;

The seventh step is to immediately reform the tax system and the conscription system after equalizing the land, abolish the oral arithmetic, and all subjects in the world, including the great families, will pay taxes and serve according to the number of acres of land they occupy; In the eighth step, in order to cooperate with the new tax system and the conscription system, the prefectures and counties began to promote the clearing of fields, not only to measure the average land and the private land of ordinary small farmers, but also to comprehensively measure the land occupied by all families;

The ninth step is to check the family's hidden household registration and the cultivated land it has encroached upon, and force it to hand over too much cultivated land for vain annexation, and the obtained household registration and cultivated land will be handled in accordance with the equalization system; The tenth step was to reform the law to stipulate that private individuals were not allowed to possess excessive troops, and that they were not allowed to cast or possess too many weapons. ”
