Chapter 191: I admired his courage
After hearing Wang Yong's words, Lu Shuyun said with a smile: "This ninth brother of this king really dares to touch anything, but then again, I'm afraid this is what my father meant." ”
Lu Chen is just a vassal king.
Lu Shuyun didn't believe that Lu Chen could say "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister." ”
Wang Yong said: "Your Highness, whether this is the idea of the King of the North or His Majesty's intention, as long as anyone dares to open this head, it is impossible for our family to make him feel better." ”
"The people who came up with this reform measure have sinister intentions, and this is to completely eliminate our family."
It's no wonder that Wang Yong reacted violently, and the land reform measures in Beijun have obviously touched the most sensitive nerves of the family.
Now that the family is the beneficiary of land annexation, and now there are people who suddenly have the idea of taking back the ownership of the land to the supreme ruler, or handing it over to the state, or even not allowing them to buy and sell land in the future.
Although this is just a flame, the Maison will never allow such a sign to appear.
Lu Shuyun said at this time: "Since this king has already gotten the news, it is estimated that other people have also gotten the news, and it seems that tomorrow's court will be very lively." ”
The power that owns land is not only those big families, but also the scholar class, those who are officials, and that one does not have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.
The king of the north openly took back the land ownership of the fief to the hands of one of his vassal kings, and even he, the vassal king, dared to do this, so would Emperor Xia be able to do the same in the future? Therefore, the officials will inevitably oppose the North King doing this, even if the North King is only doing this in his own fiefdom.
Lu Shuyun seemed to have seen the picture of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military impeachment of Lu Chen.
……
Meanwhile.
Great Xia Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Garden.
Emperor Xia took the information in his hand, looked at it again and again, and did not take his eyes off the information in his hand for a long time.
At this time, Emperor Xia muttered in his mouth: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister......"
"Domineering...... Domineering enough......"
"Is this really what Xiao Jiu can say?"
Speaking of this, Emperor Xia directly flew the information in his hand to Situ Ce in the pavilion, and Situ Ce casually caught the information thrown by Emperor Xia, and then glanced at it.
Seeing the content of the information, Situ Ce understood why Emperor Xia had been standing in place since he saw this information just now, and his eyes had been sweeping over this information.
There is no doubt that the sentence of the Northern King, "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister" will definitely cause the Great Xia shock.
Although nominally the Great Xia Dynasty was founded by the Great Xia royal family, and the land under heaven belonged to the emperor, it was only in name.
No emperor dared to directly issue a special decree on the ownership of the land to stipulate that the land of Great Xia belonged to the emperor, and if anyone dared to do so, I am afraid that his throne would come to an end.
There has never been a person in this world, no king, who has ever uttered the sentence "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister".
The general meaning of this sentence is that all the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the common people are the king's subjects.
Although the truth is such a truth, but as a king, as a ruler, you will never be able to say this.
If all the land in the world belonged to the royal family, wouldn't those people who fought the world with Xia Taizu be in vain.
It was precisely because he had never said this sentence that Emperor Xia felt extremely shocked after seeing this sentence.
Especially after reading the reform measures of the North County in the intelligence, he found that the North King was a thousand times more radical than him, the father.
Although he still can't be sure whether Lu Chen is his biological son, Lu Chen's words instantly made him full of good feelings for Lu Chen.
From the beginning of the establishment of Great Xia to the present, many emperors were ambitious when they ascended the throne, planning to learn from Xia Taizu to expand their territory and make some achievements, so that Great Xia would become the most powerful dynasty in the world.
As a result, they were all restricted by various forces, obstructed by the family, and finally the court was controlled by the family, and the emperors' talents had nowhere to show, so they could only indulge in lust in the palace, and finally died of old age.
When Lu Xingqiu ascended the throne, he was also full of enthusiasm, thinking that he would definitely be able to become another emperor who expanded his territory after Xia Taizu.
He did it to expand the territory, and the former Chen State was destroyed by him, but after destroying the Chen State, he found that his orders became more and more useless, and whatever he wanted to do would always be blocked by the family in the court.
As an emperor, he couldn't control the entire court, which made him feel extremely ashamed, and he finally understood that if the family was not destroyed, Great Xia would never be his Great Xia, he was just a puppet pushed by the family to the throne.
When Lu Xingqiu saw that several of his princes were mixed up with those families, he was very disappointed in them, and at the same time, he also thought that if he continued, he was afraid that the next Xia Emperor of Great Xia, the next Xia Emperor, and even generations would still be the puppets of the family.
At this time, Emperor Xia's inner emotions were a little complicated, but he didn't expect that the first prince who dared to stand up and publicly argue with the family was actually the prince he was the least optimistic about and the most disgusted.
After Situ Ce finished reading the information in his hand, he put the information on the desk, and then asked: "Lao Chen once said that the Northern King has the ambition of Xia Taizu, Your Majesty doesn't believe it, and now Your Majesty believes what Lao Chen said before?" ”
Hearing Situ Ce's words, Emperor Xia sneered, "He dares to say this, I admire his courage very much, but it is stupid to expose his thoughts in advance when he has no strength, and then he will not only be impeached collectively by the officials and scholars of the family, but will also face endless assassinations." ”
Lu Chen's reform measures in the northern kingdom have stimulated the family and the scholar class, and they will not let Lu Chen continue to live, even if Lu Chen may have the existence of Emperor Xia behind him.
Land interests are their fundamental interests, and they will not let anyone touch their core interests, let alone the vassal king, not even the Xia Emperor.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Xia admires Lu Chen very much.
Lu Chen jumped out to raise the issue of land ownership, which is almost like putting life and death out of the way.
At the same time, Emperor Xia was a little curious in his heart, the heavy cavalry of Beijun had been destroyed, why did Lu Chen dare to reform Beijun at this time, even if he reformed Beijun, he even had to move land ownership.
The mysterious force behind Lu Chen is not afraid that Lu Chen will be killed? Or are they very confident in their strength and think they can protect Lu Chen? That's why you let Lu Chen Hu come?
At this time, Emperor Xia looked at Situ Ce and asked, "National Teacher, how do you think I should deal with the impeachment of Xiao Jiu by the officials of the family tomorrow?" Will he order to stop the reform of the northern gun, or will he simply depose his feudal throne? ”
Lu Chen touched the taboo and will inevitably be impeached, that's for sure, the key is how he, the emperor, should express his position.
If there is no punishment for what Lu Chen has done, in the eyes of the officials, he must have the same idea as Lu Chen, he has already offended the family, and if he offends the scholar class again, it will not be good for him, the emperor.
Hearing Emperor Xia's question, Situ Ce smiled faintly, and then said: "It is legitimate for the vassal king to carry out reforms on his own fiefdom. ”
Hearing Situ Ce's answer, Emperor Xia was very dissatisfied, "National Teacher, you are pretending to be confused." ”
"He carried out reforms on his fiefdom, of course, there is no problem, but he touched on the issue of land ownership, and if he does not give an explanation to the family and scholars, I am afraid it will cause turmoil in Great Xia."
Situ Ce said: "Then Your Majesty will transfer back the 20,000 imperial army of Beijun, let the North King defend the north alone, and declare that he will no longer give aid to the North King in the future, and without a safe environment, the reform of the North King will naturally not be able to continue." ”
Although he said that, Situ Ce didn't think so in his heart, in his opinion, since the Northern King had raised the land issue, the Northern King was ready to deal with the family and the scholar class.
This also shows from the side that there is a high probability that there is nothing wrong with the heavy cavalry of Beijun, all of which are smoke bombs released by the king of Bei, otherwise he would not dare to do this, so even if the imperial army is transferred back, it will not have any impact on Beijun.
Situ Ce recognized Lu Chen's approach very much, in his opinion, Lu Chen's reform measures were not only no problem, but also proposed at the right time, because the imperial court simply had no spare energy to care about what he was tossing in Beijun.
Of course, in the next period of time, I am afraid that there will be a lot of assassins going to Beijun to find trouble with Lu Chen.
However, Situ Ce believed that Lu Chen, a young grandmaster, should have no problem dealing with the assassination of the family.
Emperor Xia thought about Situ Ce's words for a while, and thought that Situ Ce's method could indeed deal with it temporarily.
Now is the war between the two dynasties, if the vassal king is deprived of the throne, it is likely to force the vassal king to rebel, and use the war as an excuse to punish the northern king a little, just make an appearance.
With war as an excuse, no matter how uncomfortable those families and scholars are, they will not say anything, if they force the vassal king to rebel, it will lead to a greater crisis in Daxia at that time, and those officials cannot afford to take this responsibility.
