Chapter 2251 Separation of Powers?
Yang Xi's face changed when he heard Wang Yue's words. He immediately understood that they were probably just chess pieces to test Wang Yue. He probably had only one way to survive, which was to capture the princess as a hostage, so that he could return to the border.
Thinking of this, he shouted, "Kill!"
Li Rong didn't expect Wang Yue to provoke Yang Xi at this time. Now that she saw that he had started to fight, she could only look outside worriedly.
As a result, at this moment, Li Rong saw that the rain of arrows coming from the sky suddenly disappeared when it was about to hit the welcoming team, and when it appeared again, it was near the ambushed Yang Xi and the soldiers.
"Ah~!"
Ah~!
With screams, Yang Xi and his men were all shot to the ground. The archers ambushing on both sides had no idea what was happening. They kept shooting their arrows and then prepared to rush down.
As a result, the arrows they shot had a delay after disappearing out of thin air, and then suddenly appeared in front of them when they were charging, followed by another series of screams.
In fact, it was also Yang Xi's bad luck. If it was before, Wang Yue could only transfer these valuables through Wuju, or collect the items through the space gourd, and then take Li Rong away.
But not long ago, Wang Yue just learned the magic of the mirror demon, the mirror space. With this magic, combined with Wang Yue's Wuju, he can change the space on a large scale.
After the arrows shot by the archers under Yang Xi were transferred to the mirror space by Wang Yue, they still maintained the top-down acceleration. After the arrows passed through the mirror space, the exit was set by Wang Yue, which happened to be around Yang Xi and his people.
So, Wang Yue dealt with these ordinary people and solved them easily.
Li Rong was even more shocked when she saw the scene in front of her. What she thought in her heart was what kind of man she married. This was simply a god.
More importantly, since there is a person like Wang Yue, it is really not in line with common sense. So is this a dream?
If the current situation is a dream, then what is her life before rebirth?
Wang Yue thought Li Rong was frightened, so he smiled and comforted her. When Li Rong looked better, he called the welcoming team to move forward.
After they left, many spies came to the scene of the battle. After they saw the situation clearly, they only took a few corpses and left. Only thousands of corpses were left at the scene, and no one was watching.
Soon, all the noble families in the capital, including the emperor, knew one thing, that is, Yang Xi and his men were killed by their own arrows.
Because there were no signs of fighting at the scene, the dead were just shot by arrows, so they came to a conclusion. That is, Wang Yue should know some magical magic of Qimen Dunjia, which made these people kill each other unconsciously.
You have to know that the soldiers who were killed were soldiers at the border. Even if their level was poor, they were not better than the Yulin Guards in Kyoto, and they should not be so easy to deal with.
Therefore, the eight noble families and the emperor in Kyoto were silent. They didn't know whether the appearance of such a person was a blessing or a curse.
…
Wang Yue didn’t care about them so much. How could he waste time on his wedding night?
Fortunately, there were not many people on Jiulu Mountain. It was just a simple banquet. Wang Yue was the oldest. He dealt with it a little and entered the bridal chamber.
After Wang Yue got pregnant, several brothers and sisters were originally prepared to chat casually, but Pei Wenxuan dragged everyone to drink together.
He was a junior brother. Qin Lin, Qin Zhenzhen and Shangguan Ya saw that he wanted to drink, so they simply accompanied him. However, they were all cultivators, and it was Pei Wenxuan who got drunk.
Wang Yue found out that Pei Wenxuan was drunk when he woke up the next day. He guessed something, but he didn’t say it.
After the wedding, when Wang Yue returned home three days later, he certainly met the emperor and the queen again.
Wang Yue asked Li Rong, the Queen and Li Chuan to go, but he found Li Ming and asked, "Your Majesty, the first time the Yang family tried to assassinate me, I killed Yang Quan. This is their second time. Your Majesty, are you going to do it yourself, or let me do it?"
Li Ming now understood that Wang Yue had the strength to speak to him on an equal footing, and even looked down at him. After a moment of silence, he said with a headache, "If I can, of course I want to do it myself."
Wang Yue understood what he meant, so he smiled and said, "Since you want to do it yourself, then I will give you this opportunity. You just need to tell those aristocratic families that if they stop you from doing it, I will put the blame on them."
After hearing this, Li Ming's eyes lit up. This was Wang Yue's chance to give him control of the Northwest Frontier Army again. He quickly agreed and promised Wang Yue that he would solve it beautifully, and then began to pull Wang Yue to the prepared banquet.
When Li Rong saw Wang Yue coming over, she exchanged glances with Wang Yue. Seeing that Wang Yue was not angry, she was relieved.
Li Chuan had already heard about the Yang family, and even went to the scene to see the traces of the massacre. He admired his brother-in-law Wang Yue so much that if his father and mother did not disagree, he might have wanted to go to Jiulu Mountain to become a disciple.
Queen Shangguan Yue was also very attentive to Wang Yue. Although the Shangguan family was the largest family in Beijing, they also had greater responsibilities because all the aristocratic families were watching them.
Now that there is an example of the Yang family in the front, the wealthy families are all wondering what Wang Yue thinks of the family, and the queen also listened to her brother's request and wanted to take this opportunity to ask, and by the way, she also wanted to reconcile.
Emperor Li Ming seemed to know that Shangguan Yue had something to say to Wang Yue. After eating, he excitedly went to prepare to solve the Yang family's affairs. Only Li Chuan, Li Rong and Shangguan Yue were left at the scene.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Shangguan Yue stopped talking nonsense and asked seriously, "I wonder what Shanzhu Wang thinks of the aristocratic family?"
Of course Wang Yue knew what Shangguan Yue meant, and he said simply, "Rong'er has a dream that the world will be unified, so that the people can live a happy life, and your relatives will be healthy. So, for this dream, I think It’s time for the family to retreat, and it must take a step back!”
Shangguan Yue didn't expect that Wang Yue would directly ask the family to step back. She said with an ugly face, "The reason why the family can become a family is that it has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. Unless you don't participate in the government, there is still the possibility of retreat. , like our eight major families in Beijing have already participated, taking one step back will lead to an abyss. "
Wang Yue smiled and shook his head and said, "No, what I'm talking about is taking a step back. The government and the gentry will collect food and inventory the land together to give the people a fair environment."
Li Rong didn't expect that Wang Yue would want to do it in one step. So many emperors have wanted to do this over the years, but they have never done it.
Shangguan Yue sneered and said, "Xian son-in-law, if you really do this, will the aristocratic family still be an aristocratic family?"
Wang Yue said with a smile, "Under equal conditions, after hundreds of years of accumulation, aristocratic families are still much stronger than ordinary people. In fact, you don't have to worry.
Moreover, if I want the aristocratic family to give up these things, then the imperial power will also have to pay something. "
When Li Chuan saw that the matter had reached the Li family, he frowned and asked, "Brother-in-law, if what you said is true, of course the royal family is willing to withdraw, but what do you want to do, brother-in-law?"
Wang Yue said with a smile, "The aristocratic families have already been paid by the officials and the gentry. The emperor should also hand over some rights. In addition to military power, the remaining matters of national governance should be directly handed over to the officials."
What Wang Yue said was too advanced and no one understood it. Shangguan Yue sneered and said, "It is impossible for the current emperor to agree to what you said."
Wang Yue said calmly, "The reason why His Majesty the Emperor disagrees is entirely because if some officials become big enough, some people will want to be emperor and threaten the status of the royal family."
Seeing that Wang Yue's words were clear and logical, Li Rong asked uncertainly, "Then how to resolve this contradiction?"
Wang Yue said very seriously, "Actually, I have made a statistics. Only 30% of people in this world can pass on their descendants for two to three hundred years. Most of them have no descendants before this number."
"So, the ordinary people now may be from the original poor families, but the poor families now are the aristocratic families hundreds of years ago. If they can be revived, they can continue to return to the aristocratic family range, but most of the aristocratic families now are the new dynasties. The rise replaces the newly rising.”
"This is just the majority. Just like every dynasty, most cannot last more than 300 years."
"So, everyone might as well look further ahead to break this 300-year curse."
Wang Yue looked at the expressions of the three of them and it was obvious that they were attracted by his logic. He then said seriously, "So, I don't think the aristocratic family can be wiped out completely. We might as well let the royal family send a representative to form the upper council. Let the ministers form a cabinet and let parliament supervise the cabinet!"
"The poor families and common people will also form a council together. We can call it the lower council. These people can be recommended by the people from various places."
"Laws can be tailored and the House of Lords can decide whether they can be passed or not."
"..."
"The Upper House can elect a prime minister, and after being appointed by the emperor, the prime minister can reorganize the imperial cabinet."
"In order to prevent excessive concentration of power, a prime minister can only serve two terms of four years each."
"..."
Wang Yue briefly explained the bicameral system abroad, and then said seriously, "In this way, the imperial power is delegated to the upper council and the cabinet, which is shared by the royal family and the aristocratic family.
And the poor families and the common people choose what kind of life they will live in the future, and it will not affect the nobles. "
Although Li Rong found it incredible after hearing this, it seemed that if it was carried out in this way, her relatives would be safe.
