Iron Dynasty

Chapter 675 Xiao Ming's Counterattack

"Chang'an!"

The generals in the camp all showed complicated expressions.

Chang'an was the capital of the Great Yu Kingdom. One day Chang'an was not defeated, and the Great Yu Kingdom was always in the shadow of King Zhao.

"King Zhao has been in Chang'an for more than two years, and now it's time for him to get out of Chang'an." King Huainan said.

Niu Ben nodded, and he said, "This time the Zhao army has been defeated, and we have no power to stop me from marching to Chang'an. After a few days off, we will drive King Zhao out of Chang'an and restore the capital."

"Yes, General." The generals said in unison.

King Huainan showed a smile, and King Zhao also lost this time, which made him more convinced of his choice this time, King Yan, King Liang are dead, King Zhao is just a trapped beast in a cage, and he will eventually become a big The most beautiful vassal king in Yu Kingdom.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking of his own daughter, and he didn't know if she had to enter the palace now.

...

Qingzhou.

The debate against the abolition of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, and the unification of the people of Dayu into the commoners continues, and it seems to be getting more and more intense.

Due to the successive capture of Wei, Yan, and Liang, most of the land in the north is now under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

As a result, scholars from these three places have poured into Qingzhou. After all, Qingzhou is now the capital of the Great Yu Kingdom, and it is also the political and commercial center. The prosperity and prosperity of Chang'an will be destined to be transferred here.

"Yu Ming is still kneeling in the Council Hall?"

In the Xingyuan study, Xiao Ming nibbled at the melon seeds and looked at the memorial. Since he ascended the throne, he felt that he was not as busy as before.

Although the scope of the imperial court's jurisdiction has become larger and larger, the prefectures of various states and counties have also been established in the busyness of Fiji and Pang Yukun.

Now everyone in the court is performing their own duties, but it is also a prosperous image. The only shortcoming is probably the conflict between the old system, the old thinking and the new system, the new thinking.

In contemporary times, the reforms of feudal dynasties often end in failure, for no other reason, all because the reforms violated the interests of the powerful.

Even if a certain powerful person appeared in his life and pushed forward reforms strongly, the person would return to his previous appearance immediately after his death.

Even the Qing Dynasty did not complete the reform under humiliation in the face of the invasion of Western powers, and was eventually overthrown.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming's view, there is no other reason for the obstruction of reform, which is to violate the interests of those in power.

This time he abolished the scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, and it was the scholar-official class that suffered the most damage, and the scholar-official class included officials, wealthy families, and scholars among the common people. It was because of this that he encountered fierce opposition this time.

Quite simply, now the courtroom is filled with representatives of the scholar-bureaucratic class, and the agricultural, industrial and commercial class has no right to speak in the courtroom.

"Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu is still kneeling, it's been seven days, and he doesn't go back to handle government affairs every day, hey!" Qian Dafu sighed.

Xiao Ming looked indifferent, "Then let me continue to kneel."

Qian Dafu gave a wry smile, "Your Majesty, it's okay for Yu Shangshu to kneel, but the government affairs in this office have not been dealt with, and there are piles of backlogs."

Hearing the words, Xiao Ming frowned, Yu Ming would go to court now when it was time for him to go to court, and he would bring it back when he went to court. Xiao Ming would kneel if he didn't agree.

However, Yu Ming couldn't see Xiao Ming on his knees. Naturally, he was too lazy to pay attention to it, but his behavior itself was a kind of strike behavior, and the government affairs in his hands could not be left unattended.

"You can't let Yu Ming continue to make trouble, otherwise what is the majesty of Zhen?" Xiao Ming stood up, his tone was firm, "These old ministers of Chang'an are really hateful, and since this is the case, I will remove him."

If the Great Yu Kingdom is compared to a company, to Xiao Ming, whether it is Pang Yukun, Fiji or Yu Ming, he is just a wage earner.

He is the chairman, while Pang Yukun and Fiji belong to the board of directors, and Yu Ming belongs to the top management.

One of the problems now is that he is very aware of the shortcomings of the current Da Yuguo company, and he wants to reform these shortcomings so that the company can compete with companies from Western powers.

However, the management headed by Yu Ming is still fighting against him with the method of causing the company to lose money. In this way, he has no choice but to kill the chicken and warn the monkey and let him get out.

Four-legged chickens are hard to find, but two-legged officials can catch a lot of them.

Qian Dafu was shocked, he knew that Xiao Ming was really angry this time, but Yu Ming really didn't have the eyesight to see it, he hit the knife edge himself.

"Proposed decree! Yu Ming, the Minister of the Household, doesn't think about government affairs and disturbs the government. His conduct is not worthy of the responsibility of the Minister of Household, and he will be fired from today." Xiao Ming said word by word.

Qian Dafu immediately took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote down the decree according to Xiao Ming's words. After Xiao Ming reviewed it, he stamped the big seal on the imperial decree.

"Go to the Xuan paper of the Hall of State Administration. I want to kill this crooked trend."

"Yes, Your Highness," Qian Dafu took the imperial decree and went to the Hall of State Council.

When Qian Dafu left, Xiao Ming frowned. Now he doubts whether these Changan officials in Fiji really accepted the New Deal ideas in Bowen College.

Or they just learned the methods of government affairs, but they didn't keep pace with the times in thinking, and it was precisely the thinking that was the most difficult for him to control.

If this is the case, he must increase the ideological education of Bowen College and cultivate a group of officials who are ideologically synchronized with him, otherwise such conservative officials will become an obstacle to his reform.

Although he was able to kill all these officials, no one would work for him without the officials, so now he has to continue to live with them.

For him, this situation will obviously continue for some time, and he does not want to take too big steps, after all, reform is a double-edged sword.

When he suppressed the literati class, the capital class would inevitably rise, and the experience of later generations told him that if the capital class really took power, it would not be a reform, but a revolution.

To prevent this, he decided not to focus on either side while reforming.

While he was thinking, an eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, the commander of the secret guard, Wang Xuan, asks to see you."

"Let him in!" Xiao Ming said.

The eunuch left, and Wang Xuan walked in shortly after.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "There must be no good news for you to come to see me."

"Your Majesty, the lower officials are really annoying crows now." Wang Xuan said with a wry smile.

Xiao Ming shook his head, "But what I need is you, the crow, talk about it."

Wang Xuan nodded, his expression solemn, "The barbarians and the Japanese state have been fighting in Goryeo for a few months, and the two sides have won and lost each other. Xiaguan got the news that Beishan is going to cede the two counties in the south of Goryeo to the Japanese state in exchange for the Japanese state no longer. Continue north to focus on us."
