"Wang Mu!"

After handling the government affairs as always, Xiao Feng returned to the mansion, and then asked, "Regarding the ancestral law for a while, how is it done now?"

Xiao Feng's energy is limited after all, on the one hand, he has to maintain order in Chang'an, so that it can operate in an orderly manner, and provide a large amount of supplies for the front line, and on the other hand, he must also understand the military situation at the front anytime and anywhere, so as to respond accordingly to the actions of the Yuan army.

Being so busy on both sides naturally made Xiao Feng unable to separate, so he could only hand over the matter of supervising the establishment of the ancestral law by the Jiangling Mansion Council to Wang Mu.

Wang Mu was embarrassed for a moment, and then said, "Enlighten the lord." There is still a stalemate over the Nazu Law. ”

"Still at a stalemate?"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng was a little displeased, and asked again: "What is the reason for this? ”

Wang Mu replied: "It is mainly about the issue of parliamentarians' review. ”

"Parliamentarian review, tell me what's going on. Xiao Feng asked.

"Alas!"

Wang Mu thought about the original scene, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and then said, "My lord." As you know, the reason why this council was established in the first place was to replace the role of Taijian and Yushi, so that more people could participate in it and supervise the corruption of officials. It's just that in the eyes of those scholars, it seems that only they can serve as scholars, and others are not qualified at all. ”

"So that's it?"

Xiao Feng also felt ridiculous, and complained: "These people just read a little bit of the sage book, do they really think that they have become a sage?"

Although in terms of level alone, these people are indeed the pride of the world, but in Xiao Feng's opinion, their behavior is obviously close to monopoly, and it is even more unacceptable. And for the Chang'an parliamentarians, the same is naturally true.

Using Confucianism to review the identity of a parliamentarian is tantamount to closing the door to oneself, and in the end it is reduced to the extent of being used.

That's why Zhao Wenying and the others are opposed to this regulation, arguing that more people should be able to participate, not just Confucian scholars. Wang Mu replied.

Xiao Feng closed his head and replied: "This is the way it should be." If it is only judged by who is proficient in Confucianism, it will not be used as a cocoon to bind oneself, and it will not do much good to the country except to consolidate the power of Confucianism. And the reason why she set up the council in the first place was precisely to gather the heroes from all over the country, not just a group of nerds who could only recite the books of the sages.

It's a pity that those Southern Dynasty scholars are unwilling to accept it. That's why this ancestral law has been hanging so empty and has never been completed. Wang Mu replied, with a hint of chagrin on his face.

She didn't have much affection for those scholars of the Southern Dynasty, and only regarded the other party as a bastard who could make inches of progress, but unfortunately because of the current policy orientation, she still couldn't target these people after all.

Xiao Feng also said: "If this is the case, it is indeed difficult to do. ”

"But if it's the lord, there should be a way, just like when he killed that Kang Di, why don't you do the same and capture those guys?" Wang Mu suggested.

"No way!"

Xiao Feng shook his head and refused: "When I killed Kang Di, it was because that guy was lucky and wanted to attack me, so I seized the opportunity to arrest all the royalists among them. But if it is replaced by Yan Gongnan and these scholars, it will be a different matter. Surely they will not offend me rashly after what they have experienced, lest they summon me to kill me. Even if it really caused the ancestral law to be delayed for a long time, it can be excused and said to be just in case. In this situation, how do you ask me to take action? You can't just make up a crime and arrest them, can you? Otherwise, wouldn't I become an existence like Qin Hui and Song Gaozong?"

Of course, Xiao Feng was also a little disgusted with those scholars.

But she is the face of a country, and her words and deeds will naturally set an example for others, and she can't act rashly, touch everyone's bottom line, and summon the criticism of others.

killed Kang Di before, more because Kang Di was angry at the bottom line and dared to attack Xiao Feng, which gave Xiao Feng the opportunity to suppress the royalists. If these people were the people, I was afraid that they would become more cautious, and they would never easily anger Xiao Feng.

How can Xiao Feng solve this situation?

After hearing this, Wang Mu felt extremely annoyed and whispered, "If that's the case, then what's the matter?"

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, just look at it. Xiao Feng said with a smile.

Wang Mu asked, "What if there is no road?"

"Then let's do it. After all, it is their own choice, and they should naturally bear the consequences of what they will be. Xiao Feng replied, a little gloomy in his heart, thinking: "Or, am I too anxious, so I caused a backlash?"

The requirements of this parliament and its members were not achieved overnight in his time.

In the beginning, only those aristocrats could participate, and then it took a lot of struggles to develop into today's model, and it would be foolish to let the whole of China enter the era of universal elections in one fell swoop.

Xiao Feng is naturally quite aware of this, and is even more reluctant to meddle in this matter, but instead causes trouble.

"Okay!"

Wang Mu pursed his lips, even more unclear about Xiao Feng's thoughts.

At this time, Xiao Feng asked again: "By the way, what about those scholars?

"That's right. They are now in Zhanghua Temple. If the lord is interested, why don't you go and see it now?" asked Wang Mu.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and replied with a smile: "It's okay." It's just that there is nothing to do now, so let's take a look and see how they are discussing it now?" "After all, this ancestral law is really the first thing that opened the world, so naturally we should take a good look at what is different from the parliament of his time."

The two immediately left the mansion and went to Nazhanghua Temple together.

Before they walked to Zhanghua Temple, the two of them watched the door of the temple closed, and there was a noisy noise coming from inside, and they knew that at this moment, there was a fierce argument going on.

"Let's go inside. ”

Xiao Feng raised his feet and walked to the temple gate.

Outside the temple gate, there are naturally several guards standing to prevent anyone from trespassing and disturbing the order in the temple.

When they saw Wang Mu and Xiao Feng coming together, they were all surprised in their hearts: "Lord Qiqi, why are you here?"

"Let's see how far this so-called ancestral law has come now. Xiao Feng smiled, and then asked the guards to open the temple door, and walked in by herself, but as soon as she stepped into it, she heard Yan Gongnan shouting angrily: "Zhao Chongming, what are you talking about?" Listening to his voice, it was obviously very angry.

"Yan Gongnan!" Zhao Chongming replied: "Isn't this also for everyone's sake? ”

"Even if that's the case, then you shouldn't speak for the other person. Don't forget, who brought you into the Tai Academy in the first place? You are on top of this today, saying that I am not waiting, in that case, then I will abolish you now, so that you can no longer serve as a councilor. Yan Gongnan scolded angrily, he hadn't noticed Xiao Feng's appearance yet, and only wanted to reprimand Zhao Chongming for his betrayal.

"What a big breath for you? ”

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly and interjected directly: "I don't know yet, when did you have the strength to abolish the councillors without authorization?"

As soon as her words came out, everyone was immediately surprised, including Zhang Jian, who was stabilizing the order of the parliament, and they all leaned down and bowed: "I'll wait to meet Prime Minister Xiao." Yan Gongnan was also stupid, he looked at Xiao Feng with round eyes, his mouth opened wide, and then he closed it tremblingly, and asked in a low voice: "It turned out to be Prime Minister Xiao!

"Hmph. My approval is still needed for this ancestral law to be completed. So, why can't I be here? It's funny. Xiao Feng replied angrily.

Her gaze was very sharp, so that Yan Gongnan only felt as if her whole body had been poked by a sharp sword, and the whole person froze directly in place, as if a random movement would cause her to bleed too much and die.

Xiao Feng then raised his head and looked at Zhang Jian: "Chairman Zhang, can you tell me what happened just now?"

"Alas. ”

Zhang Jian sighed slightly, and immediately replied: "It's not because Zhao Chongming suddenly raised objections, which caused Yan Gongnan and others to be furious, pointing fingers at him, and even wanting to abolish his status as a parliamentarian." ”

"That's it?"

Xiao Feng only felt amused, then stared at Yan Gongnan and asked, "Is what Chairman Zhang said true?"

"It's-"

Yan Gongnan's body tightened, and he only felt that the other party's gaze was too terrifying, so that he quickly lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "What Chairman Zhang said is indeed true. There were too many people present, and Councilor Chang'an was also present, of course he didn't dare to tell a lie, but instead summoned Xiao Feng's accusations.

"Is it because he raised objections?" Xiao Feng continued to ask.

"Hmm!"

Yan Gongnan was speechless, so he had to nod his head, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Xiao Feng chuckled, and then said: "You, don't you forget that I set up the council in the first place, so that you can speak freely and not be criticized or even rejected by anyone. And yet, he only made a slight disagreement and was reproached by you. What is the difference between your behavior and that Jia Nidao and Ding Daquan belittling the ministers and suppressing public opinion?"

"But Prime Minister Xiao!"

Yan Gongnan suddenly felt nervous, and hurriedly raised his head to justify: "Then Zhao Chongming, he ......"

"What's wrong with him?"

Before Yan Gongnan could speak clearly, Xiao Feng directly blocked the remaining words in his throat and complained: "He is just putting forward his own opinions, and this is also the power that a councilor should have." This power is neither something you can stop nor something I can limit, but it is a fact that everyone agrees on. In that case, do you still think you are justified?"

"I know it's wrong. ”

Being reprimanded like this, Yan Gongnan naturally understood that he was completely defeated this time, and he didn't have the courage to go against Xiao Feng like that Kangdi, so he naturally had to give in.

"It's hard to change mistakes, but it's great to be good. I will spare you once if I think you are just a first-time offender today, but this kind of thing can't happen in the future. Do you understand?" Xiao Feng felt a little relieved at this time, his eyes swept over the faces of the councilors, and he also saw that they were all at ease, and said in his mouth: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister Xiao, I will understand." ”

Earlier, when they saw Xiao Feng getting angry, they were all terrified, lest they become cannon fodder.

Now that the atmosphere was calm, they had lost the battlefield fire they had before, but became much kinder and began to discuss the issue of ancestral law.

After all, Xiao Feng was by his side, and they were also afraid of leaving a bad impression on Xiao Feng.
