Chapter 606

"Why wait for the missing son to come back? Does the old Prime Minister think that I can't be suppressed without the southern expedition? Is this the world of Daqian still the world of the Yu family? " Yu Chuqing's eyes flashed a trace of Li mang said.

"Your Highness." Zhuo Xianran said with a bitter smile, "if your highness doesn't worry about the strength of the aristocratic family, why do you choose to suppress the aristocratic family at this time. There is a folk saying that rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention families all over the world. Your highness should know that the way of the world may be able to change customs, make changes and lead people to good. However, people's hearts can't stand consideration. There are many loyal people in the aristocratic family, but there are also some desperate people. The rebellion of the Qingquan City family is not far away. If something similar happens again, it will not shake the foundation of the country, but it will also hurt the people. Please think twice. "

"According to the old prime minister, if our palace suppresses the family behind them on the ground of arresting the aristocratic children, someone will jump out and raise the flag of rebellion. Is that right?" Yu Chuqing hears speech eyes slightly a MI, the mouth asks a way.

"Yes or no, your highness should know better than me." Zhuo Xianran didn't seem to see Yu Chuqing's murderous eyes. He stroked his beard and said to himself, "besides, among the people arrested by your highness this time, there are not only aristocratic children, but also xungueizhong people. Now many people are watching his Highness's next move. With his wisdom, it should be easy to see that if his highness continues, it may not only be the local aristocratic families who are desperate, but also the princes, county princes and country princes who are close to him, especially the noble families who are going to lose their Marquis status because of their demotion. "

After hearing Zhuo Xianran's words, Yu Chuqing, the elder sister of the eldest sister, saw that she felt a sense of killing again. Yu Yuanxu was really afraid that the elder sister, who had always been strong, would hold up a butcher's knife to the aristocratic family and local dignitaries and kill them in a river of blood. He said, "what the old Prime Minister worried about is the shortage of troops in the Middle Kingdom. If there was an emergency, the Middle Kingdom would not be able to respond at the first time, would it?"

"Your Majesty is holy." Zhuo Xian ran nodded.

"Old Cheng is different." Yu Yuanxu shook his head and said, "the imperial capital has seven imperial guards and three personal guards of the upper army, the lower army and the right army, with a total of 100000 elite guards. Although it can't compare with the three legions of Changqing, Fengxiang and Yulin guarding the capital, these 300000 troops are enough to cope with any situation."

"Besides ~" seeing Zhuo Xianran bow his head and ponder, Yu Yuanxu continued, "the old Prime Minister may not know that the Duke of Wei is on his way back to piaoyueguan. There are Duke of Wei in the north, and there are Bai Yi and the top ten Phoenix guards in Qingquan city. I believe that no one dares to risk the disaster of destroying the nation to make trouble."

Zhuo Xianran looked up at Yu Yuanxu, shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the name of Duke Wei and Marquis Wu'an may frighten some people's minds, but it's not all. Since some people dare to constantly cross the bottom line of national law, no matter how crazy they are, I won't be surprised. "

"The old prime minister is right." Yu Chuqing nodded and said, "gentlemen value virtue and villains value profit. Since some families only value their own interests and are indifferent to their country and subjects, they will certainly do more crazy things when they feel threatened. Just like you and Cai before, and Qingquan family not long ago, these people have no respect for the way of heaven, no fear of national law, and only have their own interests in their eyes. For them, when the government of the country can help them develop, the emperor is a wise emperor. If the government of the country makes them feel threatened, they even dare to change the day. "

Speaking of this, Yu Chuqing took a sip of tea, took a light look at Zhuo Xianran and said, "but the old prime minister was wrong in one thing."

"Your Highness, I'm all ears." Zhuo Xianran's eyes moved and made a gesture of please.

Yu Chuqing said with a smile, "the old Prime Minister should know that if a person has an abscess, he should cut off all the abscesses until his intact muscles are exposed, and then apply drugs to bandage the wound, waiting for the new meat to regenerate. It is inevitable that there will be pain and bleeding in the process. At this time, what we want to cut off is the cancer of our country. How can we not shed blood and harm the innocent? My palace thinks that as long as the cancer can be removed in the end and the inside of Da Qianyu is clear, it is acceptable to pay some price. What does the old Prime Minister think? "

"Your Majesty ~" Zhuo Xianran's face changed when he heard that Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess, had made up his mind. As long as he could achieve his goal, he would not hesitate to hurt the innocent in the process. He could not help but look at Yu Yuanxu, the emperor. He knew that the emperor was benevolent and kind-hearted. Since he succeeded to the throne, he was strict with himself and lenient to the people. If there is anyone who can stop the princess from doing anything, it is the Emperor himself.

Yu Chuxin looked at Zhuo Xianran's tense face and kept silent for a long time. He just sighed and said, "old prime minister, I think elder sister's words are reasonable. I have my own national laws and I will correct those who touch them. We can't look forward and backward just because there will be innocent people being coerced in. This is the crime of the family, not the elder sister's violent means. Ancient sages once said that a gentleman will repay virtue and resentment with virtue, not to mention his country and country. "

Zhuo Xianran felt a tremor in his heart and sighed. However, he also knew that the emperor and Princess Chang had made up their mind to suppress the aristocratic family. No matter what the price they paid, they could not change it. With Princess Yu Chuqing's calculation and ability, I'm afraid she had already arranged everything, waiting for a family to become the first bird.

In other words, the eldest princess wanted to use all kinds of methods to force the families that were named in her heart one by one, so as to cut them off in one fell swoop with the righteousness of the country. Then she carried out the reform with the policy of equalizing the land, completely cutting off the foundation of the aristocratic family, so that they could change from a hereditary family with a large amount of land owned by the peasants to a commercial family that could only follow the orders of the Da Qian government. As for the loss of life and blood and the lack of compassion in the process, it has become negligible in the face of the overall situation.

It can be imagined that from then on, both xungui and his family will be completely cut off from their relationship with the land except for the small number of people, farmland and mu. Without a large amount of land, there will be no large number of farm labourers working for xungui's family. When xungui and his family can't control a large number of people, no matter how high their reputation is, they can't make any difference.

The emperor and the eldest princess wanted to force the aristocratic family to either rebel or compromise on the grounds of these illegal children of the aristocratic family, so as to smash the backbone of the aristocratic family at one stroke, and even the local dignitaries would clean up together. When the reform started, these families were either transformed according to the meaning of the two people in front of them, or they could only be weak and lonely all the way.

Looking at the emperor in front of him, Zhuo Xianran suddenly felt a little strange, because in the past, the emperor would certainly solve it in a more gentle way, but now it is obviously not the case. Moreover, Zhuo Xianran could feel that the emperor's change was not only due to the influence of Princess Yu Chuqing, but also the way he looked at problems.

As for why the emperor had such a change, Zhuo Xianran, who had retired for nearly 20 years, didn't know. However, it suddenly occurred to him that there was a rumor that the emperor wanted to pass on the throne of the crown prince. It was also said that the emperor had been suppressing Xiuwei, making Xiuwei not enter a catastrophe during his reign, so that unpredictable things happened.

Although due to the lack of talent in martial arts, practicing martial arts for Zhuo Xian is nothing more than strengthening the body and prolonging the life of Zhuo Xian. Being over 80 is just the first time to enter Lingtai. In this life, there is basically no hope to break through the next big realm. But he could still feel the great power from the emperor and the princess. In Zhuo Xianran's mind, perhaps it was because of this power that the emperor let go of his fear. For the sake of the young prince and for the sake of the world, he let go of his family.

As one of the most important ministers of Tuogu, Zhuo Xianran naturally hopes to see Da Qian become more and more powerful. Even though he was born in a family, even if one of his favorite grandchildren is in the family he was arrested this time. Otherwise, he would not have written a memorial like that.

However, the emperor and the eldest princess did not agree with each other. In his opinion, peace was the most important thing in the country's politics. As long as the war in southern Xinjiang ended and Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, and Lu que, the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang, returned to the court, things would be much easier. In front of the powerful army and the invincible commander-in-chief, the aristocratic family could only compromise. In that way, the whole process would be much more peaceful, There will not even be bloodshed except for those who really commit crimes against the law. As for the future, as long as the law is revised again to use, prevent and weaken the aristocratic family, the aristocratic family will no longer be a disaster in decades.

Zhuo Xianran couldn't figure out why the emperor and Yu Chuqing would use such an urgent and fierce method to save him from their understanding. It's definitely not as simple as once and for all.

Watching Zhuo Xianran fall into meditation, Qian Emperor Yu Yuanxu and the eldest princess Yu Chuqing also did not speak. This time, Zhuo Xianran came to Beijing by means of means. On the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of Zhuo Xianran's reputation in the aristocratic family. On the other hand, he was the first person who clearly put forward the troubles of the aristocratic family and asked to put an end to the reform.

The reform of any dynasty is not a simple matter. Take the Nanli reform in the last decade or so. It is unknown how many prosperous clans were killed in Nanli. In the first decade, Nanli was in turmoil. Wang Liyong and Wei Shang, who were in charge of the reform, never knew how many assassinations they had experienced. The remote clans set off waves of flag rebellion, Yu Yuanxu and Yu Chuqing didn't want Daqian to be like this.

In this way, we need experienced and visionary senior officials to deduce and refine the content of the reform, so as to make the implementation of the reform as smooth as possible. In this way, the old Prime Minister Zhuo, who proposed the reform more than 20 years ago, has become the first choice. They and Da Qian need the old man's wisdom.

Soon after it was quiet in the hall, the door rang, and Wang Zan, the chief steward of the palace, pushed the door and came in, holding a metal message tube in his hands and saying, "Your Majesty, the public of the Wei kingdom in Northern Xinjiang is here to deliver a message."

Emperor Yu Yuanxu nodded and motioned for Wang Zan to come up. After taking the letter tube from Wang Zan's hands, Yu Yuanxu checks the lacquer and wax seal on the seal. Then he opens the letter tube and takes out a piece of silk from it to have a close look.

"What does it say?" When the emperor finished reading it, Yu Chuqing asked.

Emperor Yu Yuanxu handed the silk to Wang Zan, motioned him to give it to the eldest princess, and then looked at Zhuo Xianran, who was sitting in a serious position, and said, "in the previous Northern Xinjiang biography, Duke Wei mentioned that badai'er, the daughter of King Leimeng, led hundreds of thousands of people to the south to ask for the placement of these people. There were many and complicated things in this period, and I haven't had time to discuss them before the court, Now these CHIDI people and Duke Wei's army are only two days away from piaoyueguan. Duke Wei sent a letter to inquire about it

"It's not a trivial matter that hundreds of thousands of grassland people are attached. Their customs and language are very different from those of Daqian. If they are placed rashly, they are likely to be in trouble." Looking at the familiar handwriting on the silk, Yu Chuqing frowned and said.

"What can the old Prime Minister do?" Yu Chuqing gives the silk to Zhuo Xianran and asks after he has finished reading it.

After reading the contents of the silk, Zhuo Xianran pondered a little and said, "rehousing is nothing more than providing houses and land, so that they can settle down and accept the control of me. North of Lanhe and south of Hanshan and piaoyueshan, the border counties in Northern Xinjiang were originally obtained by defeating Qingyang more than 20 years ago. Although they have developed for 20 years, they are still vast and sparsely populated. It is not difficult to resettle hundreds of thousands of people. As long as the Ministry of household can allocate funds to northern Xinjiang, all these can be done in a short time. "

At this point, Zhuo Xianran took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. He continued, "for the people of the grassland, it's difficult to change customs. The old minister suggested sending official students to teach them the language of Da Qian. Those who learned first can give priority to housing and land, and even reward cultivation, farm tools and cattle, and teach them how to cultivate. As long as there are no barriers to language communication, others can be changed little by little. In a few decades, these prairie people will become our people. "

"The old prime minister is really old and strong, and his thoughts are still to the point at such an age. This is the word of national development. I should do it as soon as possible. Tomorrow, I will discuss the matter with the ministers, and at the same time, I will order the Ministry of household to allocate grain, money, silk and emergency services to northern Xinjiang. " Yu Yuanxu said with a smile.

Yu Chuqing shook her head a little and said, "Your Majesty, these grasslands are loose and brave. You can't leave them idle when you first enter the big dry land. Otherwise, there will be trouble. The northern Xinjiang border county has the land of the Army garrison. Anyway, when they enter Daqian, they have to change from a nomadic to a farmer. It's better to let them work in the Army garrison in the daytime and then let someone teach me the language of Daqian in the evening. "

"That's a wonderful statement." Zhuo Xianran's eyes brightened, nodded and said, "it's still princess Chang who has clear thinking and far-reaching insight. I'm not as good as the old minister."
