"This Ge Yiren is a wallgrass, and the lower officials have never understood why the emperor wants to keep him."

Li San's impression of Ge Yiren was not very good, although he didn't grasp what Ge Yiren had done that was not good for the empire, but he was so cautious that it always made him suspicious.

"I don't want to keep him, but this kind of person still has a lot of use, at least let him preach Neo-Confucianism with a good effect, if it is an ordinary person, whether it is the people or the officials, will not accept the idea of Neo-Confucianism."

"This is true, this Ge Yiren has a huge influence among Confucianism in the past, since he followed the emperor to promote Neo-Confucianism, many Confucian students have to change, after all, Ge Yiren used to be a pivotal figure in Confucianism, and he was an example of Confucianism in the world."

Xiao Ming nodded, Confucianism can be said to be the state religion in the former Great Yu Kingdom, and in the process of establishing the empire, it inherited the legacy of the Great Yu Kingdom, rather than pushing everything over again like the real founding emperor, which is the reason why the empire has left so many problems now.

This Confucianism is one of the legacies, in fact, he did not completely abolish Confucianism, but only adopted the method of removing its groove and extracting its essence to turn Confucianism, which pulled the empire back, into a positive force.

"That's why I will use him, governing the country is not just based on my personal preferences, he can achieve my purpose the most, and it is worth giving him the position of a cabinet elder." Xiao Ming said.

Then he glanced at Ge Yiren's recital and continued: "But you still have to continue to keep an eye on his every move, it is enough to see from this incident that Ge Yiren is still a two-faced person and cannot be taken lightly. “

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li San bowed and said.

gave Li San an order, and the two talked about other information about the empire, and Xiao Ming asked Li San to go back.

After Li San disappeared into the imperial study, Qian Dafu said: "Your Majesty, it seems that this decree has indeed provoked most of the nobles, the Queen Mother's words are still reasonable, the emperor should be careful, in the eyes of the old slave, no one in the empire now has the power to rebel, and they themselves are very clear that in such a situation, they are only afraid that they will adopt more covert conspiracies and tricks, including plotting to kill the emperor." ”

"So I'm going to strengthen the security of the palace." Xiao Ming said with a smile, Qian Dafu is still relatively accurate, through the two subversive measures of military reform and political reform, now the power and military power of the empire are firmly grasped by him.

And even if the nobles are dissatisfied with this policy, they do not have the strength to create trouble by force, at most they scold him behind their backs for being unreasonable.

However, because they could not oppose him in an incentivizing way, they would take covert actions to sabotage the decree he had introduced, and the contradictions surrounding the privileges of the old nobility would probably have to fight for some time in the future.

In fact, the purpose of his decree this time was not to completely eliminate the aristocracy, because he understood that the old aristocracy disappeared, and the new aristocracy would be born again, throughout the ages, there was always a small group of people who had the majority of rights, and a handful of people who owned the vast majority of wealth, as long as private ownership existed, it was impossible for human beings to establish a Datong society, which was the pyramid social structure of human beings after the birth of private ownership.

But even so, the solidified pyramid structure is terrible, he just wants to make this pyramid full of fluidity, and ordinary people can enter the top of the pyramid by reading and working hard, and the people at the top will naturally decline to the bottom if they don't work hard.

Instead of retaining the situation that the Great Yu State used the power of the empire to support the entire imperial family, the wealthy families monopolized resources and relied on exploiting the people for thousands of years, after all, if this state is maintained, the whole society will lack vitality, which is why the former Great Chongqing State has lagged behind the West for so many years.

"It is naturally necessary to strengthen the security of the palace, and in the future, the emperor's meal will be tasted by the old slave." Qian Dafu said seriously.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming frowned, sometimes the reality is so cruel, if he dies in a foreign war, it will be glorious, but if he is poisoned by someone, he will be aggrieved, and now the fact is that there are many people who want him to die, and now there are more batches after the implementation of this decree.

Regardless of whether he is the one who led the empire to prosperity or not, now that he has moved other people's cakes, he is the mortal enemy in the eyes of these people, after all, no matter how history develops, there will always be a group of people who only have their own gold and silver mountains in their eyes, and they do not care about the life and death of the country and the people.

"It's hard for you, it's just that there are fewer and fewer people around me who can be trusted now, and this lonely person is aptly described." Xiao Ming smiled bitterly.

Qian Dafu laughed, "The old slave has no children and no daughters in his life, and he has no worries, so he can only promise the country with his body, serve the emperor, and leave a name in history in the future." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming suddenly laughed, and he said to Qian Dafu: "No problem, in the future, I will set up an Imperial Meritorious Pavilion, so that you can also be among them, so that future generations can admire it." “

Qian Dafu's face turned red with excitement, he used to be a scholar, but his fate was bad to become such a situation, but he still had the idea of learning literature and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family. “

"In this way, the old slave will die without regrets." Qian Dafu's eyes glistened with tears.

Xiao Ming patted Qian Dafu's shoulder at this time, since he came to this world, there are very few people around him who can really trust.

Qian Dafu has done the most tiring work and received the least reward since he followed him to establish the foundation of the Six States, and it is precisely because of this that he will take more care of his relatives.

Some people say that the emperor is ruthless, but the human heart is flesh and blood, and that is just an outsider's imagination that the emperor must make a cold-blooded decision.

I'm gossiping.

At this time, a little eunuch arrived at the door, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Pang Shoufu has arrived." “

"Let him in." Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun was the initiator of the decree against the aristocracy, and when he mentioned the matter of private schools that day, he was intent on attacking Fei Pei and his gang.

Xiao Ming just took advantage of the trend, so that he lost the support of some old nobles, but he got the full support of Pang Yukun, a group of upstarts.

Compared with Fei Pei, Tang Guogong and others, Pang Yukun and these people have been with him for a long time, and they have been assimilated by him completely, although they are also real nobles, but they are quite low-key, and they treat the people as equals, which can be said to be very close to the people, which is what he asked other nobles to follow, but unfortunately Pang Yukun's behavior is incompatible in the eyes of Fei Pei and others, and they have always looked down on them.

"Your Majesty." , Pang Yukun seemed to be a little discouraged, he said: "After the newspaper published the decree, many nobles can vent their resentment on the lower officials, and this way to the palace, the lower officials can suffer a lot of white eyes. ”
