Chapter 111: A Ten Years’ Cold Window and an Official (1)

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up with a bow, with a look of anxiety and fear, and said:

"Qizou Your Majesty, I received dozens of local memorials from the counties of Zhongzhou, Yuzhou, and Liangzhou yesterday. The prefects of each county are reporting that the government in the county has completely collapsed!"

"Shangshu, is it so serious?"

"Didn't it mean that only some of the officials who were born in Western Shu and had a relationship with the Chen family had ghosts in their hearts, so they secretly absconded and went south, which caused a little shock to the local officials?"

"Right? Why are they all paralyzed?"

The other ministers in the court looked horrified and couldn't believe it.

Zhao Yuankai looked at the court officials coldly, without saying a word.

This information was already fully reported in the secret document submitted by Jin Yiwei yesterday afternoon.

After Zhao Yuankai saw it, he was furious.

This is the total paralysis of the government!
It was the government officials at all levels of the county government and the county government under the jurisdiction of the dozens of counties in these states that he basically ordered to go on strike at the same time!
What does this mean?
This is because those officials from aristocratic families, big and small, under the joint instruction of the aristocratic families, openly threatened to beat Zhao Yuankai!
It doesn't matter if you, the emperor of Han, moved the Chen family in the west of Sichuan.

But if you dare to touch other powerful families, this is the consequence!

Grand Tutor Sun Qingguo stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows something about this matter. I heard that when the members of the Chen family in West Shu were fleeing from the Han Dynasty officials, they spread rumors that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was going to attack the powerful family. The Chen family in West Shu is today. The future of the world's powerful..."

The old lady hadn't finished speaking.

Zhao Yuankai suddenly narrowed his eyes, his eyes were cold, and said:

"That's right, I just want to use my knife against the powerful families in the world!"

"What? Your Majesty...Your Majesty, this old minister doesn't understand!"

"Your Majesty, if this really affects the world's powerful families, then the bureaucracy of the big man will be completely paralyzed. At that time, the country will not be a country, Your Majesty!"

The old lady Fu was terrified, and hurriedly kowtowed and shouted.
"The general is not the country? Why? Now the big man is like a country?"

"Nowadays, there are thirteen prefectures in the Han Dynasty. How many prefectures can I rule? Zhongzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, by the way, there is also Bingzhou, which is in an emergency at the border!"

"Do you think this is caused by rumors? No! This is because those local officials are all in danger. They are worried that the fate of the Chen family thieves in western Shu will also fall on their heads, so they unite and threaten me!"

When Zhao Yuankai talked about this, Longyan was furious and went up against the crime.

All the court officials hurriedly knelt down and shouted in trembling voices:
"Your Majesty, rest your anger, Your Majesty, rest your anger!"

Calm down?
How to calm down?
Zhao Yuan started to execute nine clans of the Chen family in the west of Shu, because the Chen family had thieves with the intention of overthrowing the country!
For the world's powerful, Zhao Yuankai can only beat him up, as long as there are no serious mistakes and he can understand current affairs, Zhao Yuankai will never be too difficult!

but now!
Zhao Yuankai's decree has not yet been issued, and those local officials who came from aristocratic backgrounds have come out with Zhao Yuankai like this!
Strike and negligence, and threaten to beat the emperor?

it is good!
very good!

Threatening to beat the emperor, right?

"Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I order you to collect the list of all powerful families under the rule of Zhongzhou, Yuzhou, and Liangzhou, and then hand it over to Jin Yiwei!"

Zhao Yuankai shouted in a cold voice.

The Kyushu Dahan's selection system is the investigation system.

If you want to become an official, there is only one way, and that is to rely on a powerful family.

After being approved by the elite, you can become an official after being recommended.

And the so-called powerful family refers to the famous families who have been officials for generations.

Basically, no big man under the rule of a state has one or two famous families who monopolize the selection qualifications for officials at all levels under the rule of a state.

Their ancestors have been ministers for many generations.

Not only do they have fiefs and private fields, but they also have military power after being the prefect of a county.

But the real reason for supporting the prosperity of the aristocratic family is that they hid the books of sages and monopolized educational resources, so that the people under their rule had no channels for reading and seeking knowledge.

If you don't study, don't study, how can you be qualified to become an official?How can it subvert the local hegemony of the aristocratic family?
However, in recent years, the influence of the powerful family has been much smaller.

When Chen Guoshou of the Chen Clan in West Shu entered the court and was in power, he did something quite epoch-making in order to combat the power of other clans and strengthen the Chen Clan in West Shu!
This matter is taking an official from a different place!

When the first emperor was in power, Chen Guoshou took advantage of the imperial power and his own power to suppress the elites in various states. In the appointment of the governor of a state and the prefect of a heavy county, he tried his best to avoid the elites on the ground!

This allowed the influence of the powerful family to continue to drop in the place where it belonged, and it could only touch and spread throughout the official system at the county and township level!

That's why.

They can only use the means of paralyzing county officials to threaten and beat the emperor, and find some existence.

and!

These guys are bold and confident!
He thinks that the scholars and officials at all levels are the real foundation of the great man. If anyone offends them, the country will be ruined, and the country will be invaded by internal and external troubles immediately.

Also.

They are not alone, they kill as they say.

It's a group of people, a family of people, a family of people!

The movement will affect the stability of the government of hundreds of thousands of people in several counties!

above the hall.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials were terrified and frightened.

His Majesty wants to thoroughly investigate the lists of powerful families in various places, and hand them over directly to Jin Yiwei!

What kind of existence is Jin Yiwei?
That is the privileged existence that makes countless officials frightened by the rumors, the collection of inspections, trials, and edicts, and even the franchise of the imperial power!
This... is to move the knife directly!

"Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate. Most of the powerful families are scholars, and an official has been appointed in ten years. It's better to be petted than to be killed!"

The old matriarch stood up again, and comforted him in a deep voice.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Guozijian Jijiu followed up.

"Second minister!" The inspector's censor also stood up.

"The minister also agrees."

……

In the end, among the civil servants, only Zhang Juzheng and the six ministers remained silent and did not express their views.

Because they were in the Beiying military tent yesterday, they had already heard Zhao Yuankai's three-step walk.

In fact, what Old Madam Fu said was true.

A scholar is very different from a soldier.

The big man at the moment can indeed be called a ten-year-old official, unlike a soldier who can take up a weapon and practice it before he can go to the battlefield!

And this is exactly where the powerful family dared to use officials to threaten Zhao Yuankai's real confidence!
Zhao Yuankai just looked down coldly.

Finally, he set his eyes on Zhang Juzheng and said:

"Zhang Aiqing, tell me!"

All the court officials suddenly fell silent.

Today, they are extremely awed by these new faces of the big man, and they are deeply aware of one point. As long as His Majesty rolls their names, this new face will definitely have amazing words to say!
