Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 40 Implementing the New Deal
"Dazai, what do you think about this matter?"

Qingji set his sights on Jizha.

For a while, all the officials were quiet, and they all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Jizha's opinion!

Ji Zha shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Your Majesty has already been crowned, and he has indeed reached the age when he should be established to strengthen the foundation of the country!"

"There is nothing wrong with marrying a Yue girl as queen."

Before Qingji could speak, the senior doctor Shen Xi couldn't help but stand up and choked, "Ji Zi's words are wrong!"

"Yue is a country of barbarians, and a daughter of Yue is a daughter of barbarians!"

"The queen of my Great Wu should be born noble, so why marry a vulgar and lowly barbarian girl as queen?"

Shen Xi's words were so harsh that Qingji felt uncomfortable.

Ji Zha couldn't help frowning, and scolded: "Dare to ask the doctor, what is noble and what is humble?"

"My ancestor of the Wu Kingdom came from Taibo, the eldest son of King Taiwang of Zhou, and his root is Zhengmiaohong. Can you say he was born noble?"

"However, why is the origin of the Yue Kingdom so humble? It should be noted that the Yue royal family also came from Zhengshuo, China. They are the descendants of Dayu, the descendants of the Xia Dynasty Miao!"

Ji Zha said sternly: "When it comes to family background, blood lineage, high and low status, the state of Yue is not much worse than the state of Wu!"

Hearing this, the whole court was stunned, and a needle could be heard falling.

Shen Xi himself can't argue against Ji Zha!
indeed!

The ancestor of the Yue Kingdom was the famous Yu the Great.

The Yue Kingdom is located in the southeast of Yangzhou, and its ancestor was Wuyu, the concubine son of Shaokang, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty. He was a direct descendant of the Chinese ancestor Dayu.

Yue State, Qi State, Zang State, and Bao State were all enfeoffed by the descendants of Dayu!

Even, Yue State was established more than [-] years earlier than Wu State!

It's just that the country of Yue is too remote and not well-known. It has long been integrated with the local barbarians and has been excluded from the Chinese cultural circle.

"What Dazai said makes sense."

Qingji smiled lightly, and said: "Since that's the case, I will let people return to the Yue Kingdom, choose an auspicious day, and marry Yue Si as queen!"

Yue Si refers to the princess of Yue State.

In this era, each country has different titles for princesses!
At first it was "Ji", then it was different according to "surname".

The princess of Chu State is Chu Mi, the princess of Wu State is Wu Ji, the princess of Qi State is Qi Jiang, the princess of Qin State is Qin Ying, and so on!

The state of Yue has the surname of Si, so its princess is naturally Yue Si!

Actually, Qingji doesn't dislike this kind of political marriage.

Qingji agrees with this marriage with Yue!

Because Wu and Yue are adjacent to each other, although they are incompatible, there will be a big war sooner or later, but Qing Ji still hopes that the country of Yue will calm down a bit, so that the country of Wu will have enough time to become rich and strong, and accumulate national strength.

The reason why he brought up this matter at the Great Court Meeting was just to make a transition, so that all the ministers and officials could better accept the upcoming New Deal theory!

At this moment, seeing that Qing Ji had already nodded in agreement, Shen Xi and other ministers had no choice but to give up and agree to the marriage between Wu and Yue.

"My lord, I have something to announce!"

At this moment, Shen Xi, the senior doctor who was unwilling to be lonely, stood up again.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I think that Your Majesty should not issue a recruitment order to recruit talents from all over the world to Wu!"

"Why?"

Qing Ji smiled noncommittally, his emotions and anger were invisible, making it impossible for people to figure out his true thoughts deep in his heart!
Shen Xi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if you look at the whole country of Wu, all the officials and ministers have their own duties and positions. They can already manage the state affairs and the local area. Why do you seek talents?"

"If a talented person enters Wu but fails to take the position, wouldn't it make the King's order to recruit talents a laughing stock of the world?"

"If a talented person enters Wu and gets his position, I am afraid that there will be insufficient official positions in Wu, and the supply will exceed demand, which will cause bloated legal systems and consume the country's money, food and salaries. Wouldn't it be a pity?"

What Shen Xi said is not without reason.

In fact, Qingji had already thought of this consequence not long ago!

Qingji promulgated the Order of Seeking Talents, naturally hoping that the best talents from all over the world will compete to join Wu and participate in major events together.

However, there are only so many positions in the state of Wu as public ministers and local officials. How can so many people be accommodated?

If Qingji does not accept it, I am afraid that people in the world will laugh at Qingji for fooling talents, and Wu will be excluded and his prestige will plummet!

Qing Ji knew that his act of recruiting talents from all over the world to Wu would definitely be feared by all the countries and opposed by the ministers and officials of the country, but he still could not compromise on it.

Therefore, Qingji unhurriedly set his sights on the doctor Sun Wu.

Sun Wu sighed secretly, but could only bite the bullet and take a step forward, saying: "What the doctor said is great!"

"Your Majesty promulgated the Order of Seeking Talents and recruiting talents from Wu Zhiju. There is only one concern. That is, how to properly place Wu scholars and talents? How can we make the best of their talents and get their positions?"

Sun Wu paused for a moment, then bowed to King Wu Qingji on the majesty's platform and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that there is only one countermeasure, which is to reform the official system!"

Hearing this, all the ministers and officials couldn't help but their faces darkened, trembling with anger!

"Da Miao! Da Miao too!"

"The official system is related to the foundation of the country, how can it be easily changed?"

"The official system of Wu State has followed the official system of the Zhou Dynasty, and it has been used for more than six hundred years! This is the ancestral system, and it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. How can it be changed without authorization?"

"Most of the countries in the world use the official system of the Zhou family, and they are also the country of the Huaxia princes!"

"Now you, Sun Wu, dare to instigate the king to change the official system. Doesn't it mean that my great Wu is separated from the countries of the Central Plains, and I become a barbarian like Chu?"

All the ministers couldn't help criticizing Sun Wu verbally and yelling loudly.

Senior doctor Shen Xi glared at Sun Wu even more, and said spitting, "Your Majesty's move to seek meritorious decrees and change the official system must be Sun Wu's instigation!"

"Your Majesty, please drag Sun Wu, who deceived the people with his evil words and poisoned the king, out of the chariot and cook him to death, so as to make an example to others!"

Facing the spittle-flying ministers who wanted to cut him into pieces, Sun Wu felt very helpless, but he had no choice but to do it!
Gein, Qingji discussed this with Sun Wu in advance.

After all, Qingji is a monarch, so it is not easy to stand against his ministers.

After all, everyone knows that implementing the New Deal and changing the ancestral system is very offensive!
But at this time, Sun Wu had to be pushed out by Qingji, acting as the first bird.

"My lord, please kill Sun Wu!"

"Sun Wu is not dead, the country of Wu is hard to rest!"

"This beast deceives the master and flatters the master, causing harm to the country and the people. If it is not killed, it will not be enough to rectify the law of the country, and if it is not killed, it will not be enough to cause the common people to be angry!"

"Great Wang Mingjian!"

The officials immediately fell to their knees with a crash.

As far as Qingji could see, except for Ji Zha, Sun Ping, Sun Wu, Meng Ben and other loyalists, all the officials and officials knelt down, please Qingji execute Sun Wu!
However, in the face of the attacks from the officials, Qing Ji on the majesty's platform seemed extremely calm.

　disappointment.I'm afraid I got a fake recommendation, and I returned the new book selection app, and the collection didn't increase. This is the rhythm of Guoben. I don't understand the current recommendation mechanism.
