Facts have proved that as far as it is concerned, the prestige of the Holy King of Cangming is far greater than that of the empress.

Just like what Xiao Yi said yesterday, no one can stop what the Holy King is determined to do.

In terms of strength, the Holy King himself is the most powerful existence in the world.

In terms of power, the Cangming Army controls the entire division, and whoever dares to disobey will be punished!

In the face of this absolute existence with the ability to change the world, what do they resist with?

What's the point of revolting?

Of course, there are not without opponents of the Righteous Death.

After all, the Yongchu Dynasty is not a Shenghe Dynasty, and it is not a person who cannot tolerate the Tao.

Naturally, few of the pleasure-hungry clans had the courage to stand up to the Cangming Holy King, but there were not no hard bones in the imperial history.

However, in addition to absolute force, the Cangming Holy King is also quite eloquent, while forcibly pushing the law of change, he also constantly bitterly states that the harm of the ancestral system of the clan is enough to threaten the survival of Great Xia, and if there is no change, the treasury will inevitably be empty every year, and the court will have no money, which will inevitably lead to chaos in the world.

If you do not agree with his method of reform, you will come up with effective ways to cure this evil and make up for the deficit in the treasury.

In the face of the problems thrown by the Holy King of Cangming, several imperial histories are just talking about some big truths, and there is nothing to say at all.

After all, although they are proficient in the laws of Great Xia, they are too conservative, and they only know how to uphold the laws of their ancestors, and their ability to solve problems in concrete ways is extremely limited.

Let them quote scriptures to distinguish right from wrong, they can speak the truth, but let them do things, they will become overstretched, how can they come up with a way to do both?

When the Holy King of Cangming told them about the data, the future, and the plan, they would only talk about filial piety and the law of the ancestors, and the words were extremely empty, and in the end, even the imperial history Fangping couldn't stand it.

As for changing the ancestral system, is it unfilial to Emperor Taizu?

Joke, losing these 100,000 miles is the biggest unfilial piety!

And if you really want to pull the ancestral system, Emperor Taizu also formulated the capital punishment of stripping the skin and filling the grass for embezzling more than ten taels of silver, if you really maintain the ancestral system like this, then restore it together.

As the saying goes, hooligans are not scary, scary are literate hooligans.

The Holy King of Cangming is obviously a literate rogue.

Although these arguments were not what he had in mind, the power of them was terrifying.

In other words, there is absolutely no such effect as him.

In the end, under the circumstance that we could not fight and could not win, the reform of the system of supporting the clan was thus passed, and the corresponding supporting policies began to enter a state of preparation.

The goals and plans are in place, and after the decision is adopted, all that remains is to implement and supervise.

Who should be assigned to do this, and who should be responsible for following up on progress and supervising the relevant personnel, has become the question to be solved at present.

So, when he went to court the next day, Lu Chen just crossed the Xuanji Gate and walked along the vermilion wall towards the Taiji Palace, when he felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

The court officials, who gather together to talk about the world on weekdays, are more gloomy at this time, and they seem to have lost the interest in talking with their companions, and their faces are extremely heavy.

Lu Chen didn't bother to care about them, so he walked towards the Taiji Hall by himself, as if nothing had happened, no different from usual.

And just as he walked around a corner—

"Lu Shilang."

A strange call suddenly came from his side.

Hearing someone call him, Lu Chen paused and turned his head to look.

But I saw an old man with white beard and hair, wearing a purple robe on a red background, looking quite kind and kind, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Behind the old man, several purple-robed officials accompanied him.

After seeing the old man's appearance clearly, Lu Chen immediately bowed slightly towards him.

"Xia Guan has seen Yan Ge Lao."

That's right, the person who stopped him was Yan Song, the only minister in the three pavilions before Xiao Yun entered the cabinet.

Yan Song smiled and nodded, then looked Lu Chen up and down, and said with emotion:

"It's really terrifying, the old man was just a fallen talent at your age Lu Shilang, and he didn't even know where the gate of Ziji City would open, but Lu Shilang, you are already a promising third-grade master, but in your early twenties, you have achieved achievements that countless monks can hardly achieve in their lifetimes."

After a pause, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then said as if he meant something: "Therefore, as a courtier, you must always remember the four words [loyal to the monarch and serving the country], as long as you are loyal to Your Majesty and do your duty for the country of Great Xia, even if you are temporarily frustrated, one day you will be able to clear the clouds and get unexpected rich rewards."

When the words fell, Lu Chen's face couldn't help but condense slightly.

"Yan Ge Lao has a good reputation, and the lower officials are only shallow in learning, so Yan Ge Lao should not be so praised."

"Too modest, too modest."

Yan Song took his hand and walked slowly to Lu Chen, followed by the purple-robed courtiers.

Lu Chen took the initiative to speak, and asked straight to the point: "I don't know what happened to the old man of Yan Ge?" ”

Yan Song didn't answer immediately, but asked with concern: "Lu Shilang didn't seem to come to the court yesterday, but he is in good health?" ”

"It's a little uncomfortable, but Your Majesty forced the subordinate to rest at home for a day, and it's okay now."

Hearing this, a gleam quietly flashed in Yan Song's rather cloudy old eyes.

"Hehe, Lu Shilang's holy family is like this, he really envy others."

Lu Chen shook his head and did not answer.

At this time, Yan Song said again: "It's just a pity that such a big thing happened in the court yesterday, and Lu Shilang, a loyal and dedicated peerless national soldier, was not there. ”

In the end, he sighed inexplicably.

Hearing this, Lu Chen only thought about it for a moment, and a sneer appeared in his heart.

This is another loyalty to the country, and it is also a society of the country, as if the building of Daxia is about to collapse now, and he needs to stand up and turn the tide.

"What does Elder Ge mean, but is it the matter of His Royal Highness the Holy King's reform of the ancestral system?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two purple-robed courtiers behind Yan Song suddenly tightened slightly.

However, Yan Song himself still had a kind smile on his face.

"Oh? Before the report was issued, Lu Shilang knew about yesterday's morning? ”

"Hmm."

Lu Chen bowed slightly.

"After Xiaguan's best friend was on duty yesterday, he made a special trip to inform Xiaguan."

"In that case."

Yan Song spoke again and asked unhurriedly, "I don't know what Lu Shilang thinks about this matter?" ”

Lu Chen is too lazy to play any scheming with these political creatures who are old and mature and have been in the officialdom for many years, and he is not afraid of any conspiracy at all, and there is no need for him to intrigue with them, so he directly and simply stated his attitude:

"According to the following opinion, His Royal Highness the Holy King can be worthy of the four words [Peerless National Warrior] with this strategy alone, which is enough to go down in history and be praised for future generations!"

The moment the loud words fell, the faces of the two purple-robed officials behind Yan Song immediately changed.

However, Yan Song's face still did not change in the slightest, and he seemed to have expected Lu Chen's answer.

A purple-robed court official asked in a deep voice, "Lu Shilang, do you know what the restructuring proposed by His Royal Highness the Holy King means to today's Great Xia?" ”

"Of course."

Lu Chen glanced at him, and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness the Holy King's policy can be called a good prescription for the world, as long as it can be implemented to the end, my Great Xia will definitely be able to get rid of the accumulated shortcomings, continue the national fortune for thousands of years, and even be inexhaustible!" ”

"Ridiculous!"

The purple-robed courtier said coldly: "Since the Great Scene, all dynasties have pursued the national policy of [kings and monks share the world], whether it is the clan or the monks, they are the foundation of my Great Summer Dynasty. ”

"His Royal Highness the Holy King's move can certainly solve the temporary worries of the imperial court, but it is infinitely harmful to the clan so harshly, the clan and His Majesty have the same ancestry, and what flows in the body is also the blood of the royal family, if the clan and the imperial court are separated from morality, or even forced to make trouble, what face will Your Majesty have in the future to face the ancestors of Great Xia?!"

"Such a harsh government, Lu Shilang, do you think this is a good prescription for the world? Don't you feel ashamed? ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately sneered.

"Could it be that if the people are forced to become anti-people, and then change the heavens and the earth with the momentum of burning the plains, seize the 100,000 miles of rivers and mountains in Great Xia, and make Your Majesty the king of the fallen country, will she have the face to face the ancestors and ancestors?"

"Alarmist!"

The purple-robed courtier looked disdainful.

"Not to mention the Holy Lord's coming to the court, my Great Xia will definitely be able to reproduce the prosperous era of Renxuan, the world will not be as poor as the people when the demon queen was in chaos, my Great Xia has more than a trillion soldiers, and there are countless loyal ministers and good generals, even if those ignorant Qianshou riots, they are just a group of mobs who are illiterate and don't even have spiritual roots, why be afraid?"

In response to these words, Lu Chen directly and unceremoniously replied: "Xue Shilang, haven't you forgotten, the story of my Great Xia Taizu Hongwu Emperor?" ”

The moment the words fell, the middle-aged man who was called Xue Shilang by Lu Chen couldn't help but stiffen.

Lu Chen is right, the 100,000 miles of rivers and mountains in Great Xia today are really a little person who has been a monk and a beggar, and he has been beaten inch by inch from the hands of aliens who have ravaged the land of Central Continent for more than 200 years.

"Don't mess around here."

Xue Shilang said with a dissatisfied face: "Emperor Taizu has the mandate of heaven in his body, and he is very comparable, how can he generalize?" Lu Shilang, you dare to compare Emperor Taizu with ordinary people, this official will definitely play Your Majesty and punish you for the crime of disrespect! ”

In the face of this threat, Lu Chen did not have a trace of turmoil in his heart.

I even want to laugh a little.

"Anyway."

He turned his head, looked at Yan Song, who had been silent, and said without humility or arrogance: "In the hearts of the lower officials, the people will always be the foundation of the country, if you want to make a choice among the monks, the gentry and the wealthy family, the clan and the people, I will not hesitate to choose the people!" ”

"And the reform method of His Royal Highness the Holy King, while relieving the huge financial pressure on the imperial court, also takes into account the livelihood of the people, and can make the clan no longer as mediocre as before, and there are many benefits that are difficult to describe."

"Being able to come up with such a thousand-year-old plan for the benefit of the country and the people, the lower officials can be said to admire His Royal Highness the Holy King very much, and they !! admiration."

The last four words, Lu Chen almost gritted his teeth and said them.

Feeling the resolute meaning in Lu Chen's words, the smile on Yan Song's face finally slowly dissipated.

The colleague next to Xue Shilang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Lu Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and directly said before he could speak:

"As the saying goes, don't speculate more than half a sentence, Your Excellency has your thoughts, and the official also has the insistence of the official, who is right, it is useless to say more, and I will see it in the future, and the official will leave!"

With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

However, Yan Song, who had not made any movement since just now, suddenly spoke again at this time.

"Lu Shilang, please listen to the old man."

Lu Chen paused slightly.

"Elder Yan Ge, please say, Xiaguan, listen to me."

Yan Song raised his head slightly, stared at the tall figure in front of him, and said slowly: "I, Daxia, is the emperor and the monks sharing the world, not the emperor and the people sharing the world, Lu Shilang, you are also a person with great power, but don't put the cart before the horse, and"

"Those who betray their position will not end well."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but turn around and look at Yan Song.

"What Yan Ge Lao said, in the first half of the sentence, the lower officials did not dare to agree, but in the second half of the sentence, the lower officials thought it was true."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose inexplicably, revealing a subtle smile.

"After all, the position of an official is to be loyal to the monarch and love the people, and to help the world, isn't it?"

The words fell, and without waiting for everyone to respond, he turned around directly, took steps and walked forward.

"This son is arrogant!"

Looking at Lu Chen's departing back, Xue Shilang immediately snorted coldly.

"He didn't take Yan Ge Lao and me in his eyes like this, this son is really arrogant."

"Huh"

The colleague next to him sneered.

"Who made him so favored, and not only His Majesty believes in him, but the Cangming Holy King also seems to have a good impression because of this guy's previous act of sacrificing his life as a savior, and with the support of the Holy King, he naturally doesn't have to take us seriously."

"Now that the Holy King has something, he naturally wants to rush up to flatter, hum! What is loyal, in the face of power, not a villain who tends to be inflammatory? ”

Yan Song shook his head at their words.

"You're thinking too much about it."

As soon as Yan Ge Lao spoke, the purple-robed courtiers suddenly turned pale.

"Elder Ge, what do you mean?"

Yan Song didn't speak, but stared at Lu Chen's back fixedly, and he didn't speak slowly until his figure faded away.

"If the law of the Holy King's reform is implemented, if the clan wants to protect its interests, it must focus on the gentry of the major wealthy families in the prefecture and county where the fief is located, and let them give up the benefits they have obtained from the people."

"In this way, the gentry will be damaged, the clan will be supervised, the people will benefit, the taxes will increase, and the court will share the profits, you say, can the holy king, who has lived in the realm of Cangming all the year round from ancient times to the present, not ask about the affairs of the world?"

Hearing this, everyone was like an initiation, and suddenly a spirit was stirred.

"The court, the people. Yan Ge Lao, what do you mean, this method of restructuring"

"Well, the old man had a guess before, and now it can be basically determined."

Before they finished speaking, Yan Song bowed his head slightly, staring at the direction Lu Chen left, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

"Character, talent, courage, and strategy are all so good, this young man is really amazing."

In a whisper, he sighed inexplicably.

"It's a pity to be so talented......"

The other people who reacted gradually showed a solemn look in their eyes.
