The autumn wind is swaying, and then a period of time is a good day for the autumn harvest, the farming has been busy for more than half a year, the people are looking forward to this year is a good year, the Guanzhong Great Plain, a large area of wheat fields swaying with the autumn wind, it looks like a good year of harvest again.

In the year of Renyin, on the seventh day of the ninth month, a large-scale civil uprising occurred in Dongxian County, affecting several counties, and the county commanders of Ming County, Hao County, and two counties were killed by mobs, and the county guard Li Shang urgently sent troops to quell the rebellion......

Early in the morning, Huo Zheng and his ministers hurried to Bushou Palace to discuss state affairs with His Majesty.

In the Zhangtai Palace, Mu Sheng carefully read the recital from Dongjun, his face was solemn, he expected that with the change of the speaker of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the succession of the new monarch, and his prestige was insufficient, there should be people from all over the original Kanto to do things, but he didn't expect things to be so big, even during the reign of the first emperor, there was also a Yuejun incident, which was mainly caused by the collusion of foreign people in the territory, and there was never a large-scale civil uprising inside.

Yang Jin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are already waiting for the court meeting in the Four Seas Palace. ”

Mu Sheng said: "Well, I know. ”

This matter is not a matter, it must be discussed at the court meeting, and Mu Sheng will move to Jianzhang Palace, and the four seas will return to one palace to listen to the government.

When the ministers saw the emperor arrive, they bowed and saluted.

Before the emperor could speak, Prime Minister Huo Zheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen the recital of Dongjun this morning. ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said: "I have already seen it, Huo Xiangguo, look at the fact that such a big thing has happened in Dongjun now, how to deal with the aftermath?" ”

Huo Zheng looked calm and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister believes in the ability of the county guard Li Shang, but he is just a group of mobs who have no law, and they will be able to suppress it soon, and I expect that in a few days, the good news of the successful counterinsurgency will enter Beijing." ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said: "Okay, with the words of Lord Xiangguo, I am relieved, but I want to know what is the reason behind this rebellion?" ”

Huo Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is just that the old land of Kanto is still difficult to adapt to the incident caused by the law of our dynasty, and the minister proposes that in order to deter the old land of Kanto, I should revise and promulgate a more severe decree throughout the country to deter the ugliness." ”

Huo Zheng's henchman Gao Zhong was the first to jump out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the counties and counties in the Guannai have long been attached to the king, and the decree should not be moved lightly, during the reign of the first emperor, the implementation of the laws of the Kwantung countries led to chaos in the old land of Kwantung every year, in order to stabilize the situation, it can only be implemented slowly, and later a set of new laws and regulations were formulated specifically for the old land of Kwantung, compared to the old law, the new law is actually much more lenient, and now the old land of Kwantung is still causing chaos, and the minister thinks that the new law is too lenient, and the minister also thinks that if the law is not strict, it is not enough to deter. Now that our dynasty has been under unification for 25 years, it is time to abolish the laws that were revised in the past for the old Kanto region, and it is the right way to govern the country strictly. ”

Huo Zheng's younger brother, Lang Zhong ordered Huo Jun to step forward and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, the Lord Xiangguo is old and serious, and he can solve the old land of Kanto once and for all. ”

Huo Zheng's younger brother, the commander of the lieutenant army, and Lieutenant Huo Qi has always been silent, but he just quietly watched the court discussion between the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and did not express his position.

Huo Jun said, and all the officials promoted by Huo Zheng came forward to second, agreeing to revise the decree, and more than half of the courtiers supported the abolition of the decree, which shows that Huo Zheng has almost completely controlled the government, which makes Mu Sheng deeply jealous, and there is indeed no way, Huo Banchao's name is indeed true.

At this time, Sima Qin, one of the servants of Jiuqing, stepped forward and objected: "Your Majesty, the minister does not think that now is the best time to revise the decree, even if it is to amend the decree, we have to wait until the Dongjun counterinsurgency We are discussing the matter of amending the decree, and the top priority is that the imperial court needs to issue a clear decree to appease the people of Dongjun as soon as possible, and not to get involved with the rebels, so as not to worsen the situation." ”

Fengchang Zhang Xi stepped forward and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, Lord Sima is reasonable, the laws and regulations of the counties in the eastern part of the country should not be too strict, the Dongjun incident may have another hidden situation, or there may be some reactionary forces behind the scenes to incite the people to rebel, the court should act with equal emphasis on suppression and appeasement, and should not add fuel to the fire at this critical moment." ”

Zhisu Neishi Tian Jian also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the words of Lord Zhang and Lord Sima, the minister is not a Jin person, but a person from Anyang County, the old land of Kanto, and the era of national strife is an authentic Lu country, in the past, my Tian family has served as the secretary of the Lu State, and my father Tian Ao once served as the prime minister of the Lu State, and the minister's words still have some reference value." ”

"My lords, the customs and customs of the old land of Kanto are very different from those of Guanzhong, when the Jin army was like a thunderbolt, it only took a short ten years to pacify the Kwantung countries, but the time under unification was too fast, the country expanded too rapidly, and such a vast territory had no ancients before and no one after him, and it was difficult to govern."

"Moreover, the Kwantung countries are short for hundreds of years, the long country has nearly a thousand years of life and the Yu Dynasty, the old laws of various countries have fully adapted to the customs of the curtain land, just Wei Wei Gao is very right, the first emperor during the reign, on the Jin law, but the effect is not ideal, and finally re-formulated a set of new laws to adapt to the old land of the Kwantung region, only to finally stabilize the situation, the first emperor is far-sighted, and the minister is deeply admired."

"Now that we want to revise the law again, and even govern the country strictly, it's really not a good policy, if we really act like this, the old land of Kanto is afraid that the people will not be attached, and then it will not be just a Dongjun who will make trouble, and the minister thinks that amending the law is a policy to bring disaster to the country, and it must not be schooled."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials of the court looked at each other, Zhang Xi and Sima Qin opposed it and had a little scruples, Tian Jian came up today and did not give the prime minister Huo Zheng a little face, and he used the old example of the first emperor to suppress the people of the law revision faction, the last few words, the law revision is a policy to bring disaster to the country, and it was a loud voice, basically a slap in the face of Huo Zheng, the prime minister of the left, and now Huo Xiang is autocratic, and he dares to do this, this official will not do it, basically he will be quickly squeezed out of the court.

Sure enough, Huo Zheng's face changed slightly, but it was nothing, but fortunately, his younger brother took the initiative to defend the boss.

Shaofu Zou Shan stepped forward and said: "Lord Tian's words are very wrong, since the new law of the first emperor was useful back then, why is there still a civil uprising in Dongjun now?" Since the Wu Gong changed the law, I am not lawful, not following the present, things have changed, the old precedent can not be followed, if my Jin Kingdom is still conservative, everything follows the etiquette system, how can I come to the great Jin Dynasty now under the unification of the thousands of years of achievements? The minister agrees with the theory of Lord Xiangguo's revision of the law, and asks His Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

Before the emperor could express his position, several more officials jumped out to speak.

A thin old man said forward: "Your Majesty, the minister doctor Bao You, the old minister has a word for me to set the policy of the great Jin Dynasty, my dynasty has seventy-two counties, the territory is so vast, the secular language is very different from each other, the minister thinks that my Great Jin should follow the previous dynasty's policy of dividing the feudals, the children of the clan each lead a country to defend the center, Shiqing Shilu, pass it on for thousands of years, the Yu Dynasty has passed on the country for more than 1,400 years, the pearl and jade are in front, and my dynasty should follow the ancient system. ”

As soon as Bao You's words came out, it really attracted the attack of Huo Xiang's faction, and there are still people who cling to the sub-sealing system and don't let go in this era?

Lang Zhong ordered Huo Jun to immediately step forward and said with a mocking tone: "Dr. Bao is good, since the feudal system is good, how did the previous dynasty perish?" Dr. Bao has ever remembered that during the reign of King Yuling of the previous dynasty, he just wanted to re-establish the prince, which caused the rebellion of the three marquis, and the soldiers were in trouble for more than ten years. Dr. Bao manages the collection of the history of my dynasty, and he should know better than me what happened back then, and you, Dr. Bao, now re-mention that dividing the seal is the real harbor of evil intentions, the policy of bringing disaster to the country and the people, and it should be killed. ”

The thin old man Bao You's lips trembled, pointed at Huo Jun, and said, "You...... You... The three marquis coerced, the following offenses, the rebellious ministers and thieves who are not as good as the pigs and dogs, have been stinking for thousands of years, and not all the princes were as incorruptible and shameless as the three marquis, the rebellion of the three marquis, I am the first monarch of the Jin Kingdom, and I am in power, and I also called on the princes to raise troops to kill the three marquis, and support the filial piety of the king to succeed to the throne smoothly and be named the duke, if there is no loyal person like the Duke of Huan, I don't know what the chaos will become......" After that, Bao You coughed violently a few times, obviously making the old man angry.

In fact, when the reunification had just begun, conservatives like Dr. Bao and Huo Zheng and Cui Yan had debated on this matter, and of course the first emperor would not listen to these conservatives.

Of course, after the Jin State changed the law, it has always been the officials of the law change faction in power, that is, the Legalists are in power, in fact, there is no Legalist in this era, and the law change faction will not claim to be a Legalist, and the title of Legalist is a special name given by later scholars in order to classify the group of people who have led the reform since the Warring States Period.

In the end, this is a normal phenomenon in the period of great social transformation, the old and new ideas, and the two management systems have their own supporters, just like the changes of the Zhou and Qin dynasties in later generations.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the implementation of the dual system of county and county feudalism is also the result of the compromise of the ideological struggle between these two factions, and finally the parallel system of the county and the state led to the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Western Jin Dynasty Emperor Sima Yanxing divided the feudal and made a rebellion of the eight kings, resulting in Huaxia being reduced to Yidi Ranch, such a tragic historical lesson, the emperors of later generations have never wavered, so far the county system has replaced the feudal system, and hundreds of generations have practiced Qin politics and law, and now the Jin Dynasty in this different world is obviously at the same key turning point in history, playing the role of the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, Mu Sheng, as a traverser, knows the stakes, and he listens to Dr. Bao's words, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.

For example, the reason why the European powers in later generations came from behind was that in addition to the scientific revolution, it was also through political and economic reforms and overseas colonial plunder, which finally enabled the royal families of various countries to strengthen their royal power, and strengthened the authority of the central government to a certain extent, so that they fully released their national potential, occupied a place in the world, and became a great power. If the country is still a plate of scattered sand, each locality blows its own trumpet, and the princes of various places disobey the central government, then it will end up with the Taisha Dynasty in southern Xinjiang.

Seeing the arguing among the ministers in the hall, Prime Minister Huo Zheng was also annoyed, coughed, and said: "Your lords, be quiet, roar the court, what kind of system." ”

Huo Zheng turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister proposes that today's court meeting be suspended." ”

Mu Sheng heard this: "Okay, then let's retreat from the dynasty, and when the Dongjun chapter arrives, we will discuss it again." ”

Yang Jin said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has an edict, the court discussion is suspended, and the court retreats." ”

When the ministers heard this, they left the hall one after another.
