Fourth, change the operation and management mode of administrative organs.

Today, the operation of the empire is mainly divided into two parts, one is a military town maintained by the army, and the other is a government established by the government. There was nothing wrong with the place where the army was running, but the government almost existed in name only. The government offices in the various regions were in vain, and the servants in the government did not deal with problems according to the constitution, but followed the orders of the local gentry, became their lackeys, and helped them to oppress the people together.

In order to change this situation, it is necessary to change the composition of the government officials, so that the number of government officials recruited from the local area and the number of people sent from the central government is no longer N to 1, but changed to the fact that all local government officials need to be recruited from outside, and they cannot be local household registration, and the number of government officials and even government officials is assigned by the central government.

......

All this, a total of ten suggestions for the reform of the empire, caused an uproar in the court, and almost all the princes and ministers present criticized Chu Xiu in an insulting tone, but the latter was calm, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as light as a breeze, and a detached appearance that did not take everything in his eyes and had already put life and death out of his mind.

Probably too detached, the ministers scolded and scolded, but they couldn't scold anymore, and the two respected ministers were the representatives of the summary criticism of him, refuting Chu Xiu's opinions one by one.

The old emperor didn't say a word from beginning to end!

He's weighing, he's thinking! Putting aside the reform opinions, Chu Xiu himself is very clear about the current situation of the problem, which was a compromise made in order to sit on the throne and impose co-optation on some people in the past.

Now that the position of the Yellow Emperor is as stable as Mount Tai, is it necessary to take this opportunity to redivide the sphere of influence?

The old emperor was pondering, he was measuring, if he did what Chu Xiu said, then there would inevitably be a bloody storm in the human country, and maybe there would be turmoil; if he didn't do what he said, then the problem would be put aside, and how many years later would there be another Chu Xiu?

His gaze fell lightly on Chu Xiu's body, and the trace of yellow in the depths of his eyes shone with an incredible light, like a gem glowing.

Under everyone's attention, suddenly, he raised his hand: "Buddhism is the state religion, and it is not allowed to replace Buddhism with Confucianism! ”

This remark caused a monstrous wave, and a long list broke out among the ministers: "Your Majesty, by all means...... Your Majesty, this is pushing the empire into the abyss...... Your Majesty. ”

But they were all stopped by the old emperor with a wave of his hand: "Obey my orders, and set up a reform subcommittee from now on, chaired by the leader of Chu Xiu, and give the rank of second-grade official, the number of personnel in the group is not limited, the functions have no boundaries, and everything is only reported to me alone." ”

As soon as the decree came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, and knelt on the ground at the same time except for the two prime ministers: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind. The old emperor waved his hand again and again: "Retreat." ”

The old emperor was about to leave, but it was the bold Chu Xiu who spoke again and said something that stunned everyone: "The foundation of reform lies in the use of talents, if Your Majesty can't change the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, reopen the imperial examination, and re-establish Confucianism, all changes are empty talk." ”

Everyone sighed, and said in their hearts: How can there be such a bold and reckless person in the world, Your Majesty has obviously agreed to his request, but he still does not know how to meet it.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty waved his hand and said: "Rong Zhen thinks about it, your task now is to set up the reform committee, the personnel are determined by you, the funds are directly received from the household department, and the office location is set in the building abandoned by the Ministry of Officials three years ago.

Turned and left.

These words made a group of officials even more incredible, and the high-ranking Majesty Banzai in everyone's hearts has always said the same, when he bowed his head to others and discussed problems with others, it is simply incredible.

......

- Soon, my name will be known all over the world!

Chu Xiu did it, he really did it. As a Confucian scholar, the goal of pursuing his life is to let his name and his thoughts take root in the territory of the country and pass them on from generation to generation, so that thousands of people in the world will remember himself and his great achievements from generation to generation.

This is the name that the literati are asking for!

Shen Fei, who also came with the purpose of becoming famous all over the world, obviously lagged behind him too much, and even the wonderful situation of the noble concubine Niangniang fasting and seeking Dan that he had laid out by himself was also overshadowed by the death of the seventeenth prince and the strong rise of Chu Xiu.

Shen Fei realized that Chu Xiu's existence might make it more difficult for him to preach. Because the promotion of any doctrine must start with the broadcast of the missionary's statement, he did it with all his heart, but he was improving his reputation among the dignitaries, but Chu Xiu did it overnight, not only did it, but even gained support at the bottom, so that the spread of Taoist teachings would be in trouble.

He felt the need to overturn his previous assertion and visit Chu Xiu again, so he took advantage of the night to come to the place where the other party lived.

Chu Xiu lives in the backyard of the yamen, working and resting together, and there are few people around to serve him, and he feels lonely and may be assassinated at any time. When Shen Fei arrived, he was sitting alone in the courtyard watching the stars, surrounded by black holes, and he didn't know how many crises lurked, Chu Xiu was not afraid at all, staring at the stars full of intoxication, and never got tired of watching.

Shen Fei stepped out of the darkness, stood behind him, and deliberately released his killing intent, but he never expected that Chu Xiu seemed to know that he was coming, and said, "You are here again." ”

Shen Fei was instantly deflated, and said in his heart that although this guy did not have the fluctuation of immortal power, it seemed to be quite evil, and replied, "Come and see you." ”

"We're not all the way. ”

"Now I know what you mean. ”

"That's right, the kingdom of people will eventually be ruled by Confucianism, and I, Chu Xiu, will become a pioneer and live in the hearts of all Confucian students in the world. ”

"Are you ready to sacrifice?"

"It was the stars that gave me guidance. ”

"No wonder you know I'm coming. ”

"Shen Fei, it stands to reason that the enemy of the enemy is his friend, but this law does not apply to you and me, just like you insist on the principle and make a grudge with the Tongtian Sect before starting a war with the Buddha Sect, and I Chu Xiu is the same, my purpose is to revive Confucianism, break the blockade caused by the Nine Grades Zhongzheng, reopen the imperial examination, and bring a new future to the empire, and then in the process, the Taoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect are stumbling blocks and need to be removed, so we are enemies and not friends.

"You seem to have a plan in mind. ”

"It is the stars that show me the future. ”

"Finally understand what you're waiting for. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"You're waiting for me to enter the imperial capital and draw the attention of the Buddha sect. ”

"You guessed it. I took advantage of the fact that you have just arrived in the imperial capital, and the attention of Buddhism will be attracted to the past, blowing the wind of reform above the court, thereby expanding the strength and laying the foundation, and when the Taoist and Buddhist sects fight to the point of defeat, my Confucianism has become bigger, and the rise of Confucianism has been irreversible, and even the Buddhism that has been rooted in the human country for a long time has to make compromises, which is my overall plan. ”

"You've done it all. ”

"I get the answer from the stars. ”

"Then can you know if you will die tonight? ”

"You're not going to kill me, never. ”

"How so. ”

"Because of Chu Xie. ”

The night breeze was rarely light, the courtyard was silent, and Shen Fei retreated into the shadows, as if he had never come, "I won't kill you, what about the others!"

"They can't kill me!" Chu Xiu, who was sitting on the stone bench, smiled extremely confidently, as if he was sure of everything.

Perhaps, he really got the answer from the stars.

Perhaps, he just overestimated himself......

......

When Tuoba Lie presented the clues to his father, he did not receive too much praise, and His Majesty sent him away after only saying one sentence: "Lie, what I want is the result, not evidence, what about the murderer you promised!"

He left the palace in a huff, Dongfang Changqing and Manager Liu Yi did not appear, and the beautiful world that was originally beckoning to him seemed to be gradually moving away.

Tuoba Lie didn't expect this to be the result, he was too naïve, and what made him even more unacceptable was that when he walked out of the upper study and walked down the steps step by step, a figure went up against the trend, it was his brother - Tuoba Zhen.

When he walked by, Tuoba Zhen didn't squint, he didn't even look at himself, and that lofty appearance stung Tuoba Lie's heart.

He turned around abruptly and shouted, "Tenth brother, are you going to face the saint!"

But he couldn't get a reasonable answer, the tenth brother went away, like a horse riding a dust, like a meteor across the sky, like a sword piercing the heart, he was so proud, so high, let himself be out of reach, in front of him, his own insignificance was like a speck of dust.

No, no! This is not the same as in the past, and I will never be trampled under your feet again!

He turned to leave, with resentment, determination, and a lot of inexplicable sadness in his heart, but he didn't think about why his brother was facing the saint alone at this moment, and what was in the box he was holding.

After all, he is just Tuoba Lie, not Tuoba Zhen!

The difference between one word and the world of difference!

......

The spring breeze of reform did not last long, as a box knocked on the door of the upper study, containing a bloody skull.

- Who is it!

His Majesty stood up from his seat full of shock, looked at the head in the box and trembled uncontrollably: "Zhen'er, you...... How dare you!"

"Father Qi, Chu Xiu's crime is unforgivable, the emperor not only wants to kill him, but also punish him for the nine clans, so as to relieve the cruelty in his heart!" Tuoba Zhen stood in the upper study and didn't kneel, and there was a one-foot-long and wide box lying under his feet, and a head was stored in the box.

The old emperor was really angry, so angry that his lips and fingers trembled together, how many years, how many years had no one made him so angry, he trembled and pointed at Tuoba Zhen, Xingshi asked: "Not only kill him, but also punish the Nine Clans! Why do you think! Do you think that as a prince, you can do whatever you want, do you think that when I am old, I can't punish you, right, come on, take it for me!" All in all, all here, it's still what the old emperor said, the Praetorian Guards guarding the left and right came in an instant, and surrounded Tuoba Zhen, who still looked calm, knelt down on one knee and said: "Father, please listen to the report of the son." This is called Chu Xiu's arrogance and unreasonableness, no one in his eyes, Erchen's house was stolen yesterday, and he found the government to ask him to help arrest the murderer, but he was good, and he did everything he could to deal with it, and he didn't take action for a long time. Erchen waited impatiently, so he scolded him, I didn't think that Chu Xiu was more powerful than Erchen, and he actually used the excuse that he was busy with business, and the official mansion was not opened for Erchen alone, don't bother him or anything like that for this little thing, father, listen to what he said, Erchen is a royal family, and no one pays attention to the theft of his home and reports it to the government office, and his duty is not to care about it is a dereliction of duty, not to mention, the world is your father's world, the yamen is your father's yamen, and your son, as your own son, if you can't even deal with the trivial matter of theft in your son's house, what else can you expect him to do。

Erchen was anxious at that time, and gave him a slap, never imagined that this daring guy actually ordered his subordinates to arrest Erchen, Erchen out of self-defense, killed all the people present, and presented the head to his father, hoping that his father would show the world, so that the people of the world would take him as a warning and be ashamed of him, so as to show the royal prestige and maintain the prestige of my royal family. Tuoba Zhen said slowly, not in a hurry or slowly, but the old emperor's face became greener and greener, and the old emperor's heart became more and more angry the more he listened, and he slapped the armrest and almost jumped to his feet: "His official is given by me, what he wants to do is to do it for me, although you are my son, what ability do you have to order him, what ability do you have to punish him, not to mention, Chu Xiu is dead, there is no proof of death, you can say whatever you want, even if you say that the sky is broken, no one can identify you."

What are you doing in a daze, don't you arrest this rebel for me and put him on death row! Chu Xiu is dead, I want you to pay for your life!"

Although Tuoba Zhen is the prince, the Praetorian Guard is only subordinate to His Majesty, and after receiving the order, he stepped forward without hesitation and wanted to pick up the prince, but at this moment, a surging force poured out from the prince's body, making them inclose.

The old emperor saw that he was stubbornly resisting, and he was even more furious and said: "What, you still dare to resist arrest!"

"Father, please listen to what Erchen has to say! Erchen has witnesses to prove that Chu Xiu is bold and reckless, contradicting Erchen, proving that he is talking wildly, and he doesn't even look at you as Father, you have heard the witness's speech, and it is not too late to arrest Erchen. ”

Looking at Tuoba Zhen's steady style and condescending attitude, the old emperor chuckled in his heart, and instantly understood his intention to do so, and waved his hand again and again: "I want to kill someone, what evidence do I want, and I will arrest this rebel." ”

"Father, please listen to the witnesses. The loud voice was like a pestle hitting a golden bell, and the wind was immediately surging, blowing open the door of the upper study, and a little eunuch ran from outside the hall with the eyes of the old emperor who could kill people, and shouted loudly regardless of etiquette as he ran: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt in front of the palace, saying that they wanted to testify for His Royal Highness." ”

The old emperor was hit by five thunders, and his body went soft and sat back in his seat: "Okay, okay, you are going to force the palace." ”
