The System Made Me a Fool

　　Yan Ge said, "Please teach me Jinglue."

　　Wang Meng said: "Your Majesty, the strategy of enriching the country is nothing more than two aspects: open source and throttling. Regarding throttling, the minister believes that we should abolish idle troops with low combat effectiveness, implement the law of colonization, and reduce the annual rewards and diplomatic relations of feudal towns. As for gifts. Regarding open source, I believe that the tax system should be reformed and the currency should be improved..."

　　Yan Ge listened to it for a long time and asked, "Have you already thought of a complete reform plan?"

　　Wang Meng said: "I have already drafted the detailed reform content, and I can submit it to Your Majesty in the near future!"

　　"Okay, okay." Yan Ge said with a palm, "It's just that you have a solution to the root cause, but I need a solution to the symptoms."

　　Wang Meng smiled and said, "Your Majesty Hong Fu Qi Tian, ​​once was able to create a miracle of divine soldiers descending from the sky in times of crisis. I believe there must be a way to turn the danger into a safe this time."

　　Yan Ge waved his hand: "It's okay, then Jinglue, you have been concentrating on drafting the reform strategy during this period of time. I will find a way to solve the difficulties in front of me. If the reform thing is wrong, I will ask you!"

　　"The minister obeys the order!"

　　At this moment, Ge Jianzhang hurried in:

　　"His Majesty's minister received a joint letter from 28 ministers in the DPRK and 70 great scholars in Shilin, asking His Majesty to release Zhou Han from the prison!"

　　"What?!" Yan Ge endured his anger and finished the letter. After reading it, he tore the letter to shreds on the spot.

　　"You bastard!" Yan Ge slammed on the table, "Do these people want to rebel, how dare they jointly sign a letter to force me to release Zhou Han, who has committed the following crimes!"

　　Ge Jianzhang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

　　"Ge Aiqing, what do you think?" Yan Ge asked to calm down.

　　"Your Majesty, Zhou Han is arrogant this time, and his conviction this time is justified. It's just that Dan Tu Zhou's reputation in Shilin is too famous, and his father Zhou Chao was once the prime minister, and Zhou Han is Zhou Chao. The only son, Chen suspects that this letter is also the result of the Zhou family's full use of their influence in Shilin."

　　Yan Ge nodded. He remembered the Tang Heyue he met in Xiyuan Yayuan that day. At that time, he suspected that there was someone behind this person, and specially sent the Gyeonggi Colonel Hu Guanghe to cooperate with Dongchang to investigate.

Chapter 47 It's Not What I Expected

　　So Yan Ge called Li Fuhai in: "Li Fuhai, go and declare Hu Guanghe, Colonel of Gyeonggi, to enter the palace."

　　"Old slave obeys the order."

　　Soon, Hu Guanghe also knelt in front of Yan Ge: "Your Majesty, the minister has checked the things you ordered last time."

　　"You said." Yan Ge gestured.

　　"Your Majesty, Tang Heyue has a good friend named Shang Tiancheng. Shang Tiancheng is a disciple of Zhou Han's brother Zhou Rui. This minister can make a judgment based on various signs. The satirical poem written by Tang Heyue was suggested by the Zhou family through Shang Tiancheng."

　　"It's not what I expected." Ge Jianzhang sighed after hearing this. "The Zhou family used their influence to consciously smear His Majesty. In fact, they were in a disguised form to put pressure on His Majesty through criticism from the lower levels, forcing His Majesty to exert pressure."

　　Hu Guanghe said: "Your Majesty, the Zhou family is so rampant, since they dare to instruct others to slander Your Majesty, this crime is regarded as a conspiracy! Why don't you send troops to destroy this Zhou family."

　　"No, we can't act rashly on this matter." Yan Ge pressed his hand.

　　Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, there has been an atmosphere of emphasizing literature and devaluing martial arts. Today, the status of scholars has reached a new height.As a result, those great Confucian celebrities, even if their official positions are not high, can still have a decisive influence in the country.

　　Take this Zhou family as an example, if he were to do something with the Zhou family at will, he would probably attract large-scale opposition.

　　Now there is a problem with the Xiongnu outside, and the internal economic reform still affects the interests of many people. He must not touch the literati class at will, otherwise he will really be embarrassed on all sides.

　　Yan Ge said: "I have to completely clean up these lawless literati sooner or later, but it is not appropriate to make a big splash right now. It is best to have some way to clean up the Zhou family well, but also keep the word out. , it will not cause the literati to rise up and attack it.”

　　Speaking of which, Yan Ge looked at Wang Meng. This guy is not only an outstanding strategist, but also very skilled when it comes to these conspiracies.Wasn't the golden sword plan by Wang Meng in history a perfect countermeasure with the help of Murong Chui's golden sword?

　　Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Wang Meng touched his beard and revealed a sinister smile: "Your Majesty, this is not difficult to do. We just need to sell a loophole to the Zhou family and use their eagerness to save Zhou Han from the prison. , trap them in a big crime, and this can be done. The Tang Heyue you arrested last time is the perfect tool for this plan."

　　……

　　Dantu County, Zhou House.

　　A white-haired old man was sitting at a table, surrounded by a large group of people.

　　"Rui'er, how is the thing I told you to do last time." The old man asked a middle-aged man with broad shoulders.

　　"Back to my father's words, the boy has organized more than [-] disciples of our Zhou family and influential literati to create a large number of poems and songs criticizing the emperor. I believe it will soon spread in the literary world and among the people. Relevant memorials will also be continuously submitted to the emperor's palace. Now Dawei is in a troubled time. I believe that His Majesty the emperor does not want to be disturbed by this matter, and will release Han'er soon.

　　of. " Zhou Rui said.

　　The old man asked again, "Then what did the Northwest King say?"

　　Zhou Rui replied: "The King of the Northwest is very satisfied with our Zhou family's surrender, and promised that if it happens, it will bring great benefits to our Zhou family. But he told us not to act rashly without his instructions!"

　　The old man nodded, expressing his approval of his son: "This is natural. Rui'er did a good job of this matter."

　　At this time, there was a person beside him with a worried expression.

　　"Father, is our Zhou family really going down this road?"

　　Zhou Chao saw that his third son was a little timid, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why should Shan'er be afraid, that the emperor's son treats Han'er like this, and there must be no room for my Zhou family. Since this is the case, we naturally have to invest in Yan Liang. This is the way to go. What's more, Yan Liang is the best at fighting among the sons of the late emperor. Only when the late emperor is there can he be able to control him. Now that Yan Ge is a yellow-mouthed child, how can he stop the iron hoof of the Northwest King?"

　　Zhou Shan listened to his father's words, but he was still hesitant: "Even so, what Your Majesty has done recently is really shocking. Now that the Great Wei has been cleaned up, the people are praising His Majesty's wiseness. Is my Zhou family doing this against the sky..."

　　"Shut up!" Zhou Chao slapped Zhou Shan angrily, "You're still not a descendant of my Zhou family!"

　　"He sings prostitutes in the harem, and is greedy for pleasure, how can he be called a benevolent monarch? He is just a monarch of a fallen country! My Zhou family just took this opportunity to step on the chariot of the king of the northwest. That is a decision to continue the glory, how can you tolerate it Doubt again?!"

　　Seeing Zhou Chao getting angry, Zhou Shan could only keep silent.

　　At this time, Zhou Chao didn't know that he had lost a chance to obey his son's advice and avoid the disaster of the Zhou family.In time, he will surely regret it.

　　After Yan Ge and Wang Meng negotiated a detailed way to deal with the Zhou family, all the ministers withdrew, and only Yan Ge continued to think about the next thing.

　　The matter of the Zhou family was just an episode. Yan Ge had some ways to deal with it, but the matter on the Xiongnu side had to be well prepared.

　　Yan Ge opened the system mall and wanted to see if there was any good way to increase the country's fiscal revenue.

　　When you fight a war, you earn money. With enough money, you can naturally have good weapons and equipment, which can stimulate the army to improve its combat capability.

　　After a while, he found something good.

　　【Craftsmanship of Yunhua Shu Brocade】

　　SS class item

　　Redemption consumption: 2 points

　　Effect: The top-level Shu brocade production method generated after improving the traditional Shu brocade craftsmanship!Shu brocade made in this way can not only be sold out of stock in China, but also exported to overseas, earning a lot of silver!

　　If you can exchange this thing and organize production and sales in the form of a state, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.It's just that the high exchange points of 2 points discouraged him.

48 Threat

　　After all, you still have to complete the points task first, Yan Ge thought.

　　If he can complete a free mission and wait for the completion of the stage mission "Great Cleaning Movement" after a while, he will have enough points to redeem this thing.

　　Thinking about these things in his heart, Yan Ge felt quite annoyed, so he wandered around the palace accompanied by Yue'er, and unknowingly came to Yuquan Palace.

　　Yuquan Palace is a very special existence in the palace, because there is a steady stream of hot springs underground here.Therefore, the previous emperor specially built a palace here to provide a good place for the emperor and his concubines to soak in hot springs.

　　Yan Ge laughed a few times, grabbed Yue'er's hand and was about to walk into Yuquan Palace, but was unexpectedly stopped by a palace maid at the entrance of the palace.

　　"Your Majesty...you can't go in." The palace maid lowered her head and said in a little panic.

　　"Huh?" Yan Ge said displeasedly, "You want to stop me?"

　　But after hearing Yan Ge's words, the palace maid did not mean to back down, but insisted: "Your Majesty, the one inside is not your concubine, but the concubine of the late emperor, Concubine Lan!"

　　It turned out to be so!

　　At this time, Yan Ge remembered that in addition to her concubine, some of her father Yan Bi's women were also preserved in the palace.

　　In the end, Yan Ge did not break in directly, but asked the little palace maid to report.

　　After Yan Ge entered, Lan Fei Tong Su was well dressed. Although she was over forty, her skin was white and beautiful, very beautiful, and the years did not leave any traces on her face.

　　……

　　"Your Majesty, since the death of the late emperor, no one has been so close to me. Seeing you now is like seeing my child far away in Shanzhou."

　　After the two chatted for a while, Lan Fei sighed.

　　As the concubine of the Immortal Emperor, in the deep palace, basically no one dared to come to her,

　　"Sister Lan Fei, who is your child?" Yan Ge asked.

　　Lan Fei said, "Has Your Majesty forgot? My child is your incompetent brother far away in the northwest."

　　Yan Ge was stunned for a moment, and the memory suddenly returned to his mind.

　　It turned out that his younger brother, Yan Liang, the king of the Northwest, was the son of Concubine Lan Tong Su!

　　To some extent, Yan Liang is actually the best of Yan Bi's sons.

　　At the age of 17, he was sent by Yan Bi to the northwest frontier for training.

　　At the age of 19, he single-handedly defeated a hundred horsemen in the Qiuci State, captured the local generals alive, and became famous all over the world.

　　At the age of 20, he was named the General of the West Expedition, and was once considered the future successor to the throne!

　　However, Yan Liang, who had achieved great success, showed an extremely arrogant and brutal side. He acted unscrupulously in the capital, killing innocent people indiscriminately. Finally, Yan Bi was furious after beheading a third-rank official for a single word.

　　Yan Bi believed that Yan Liangkong was brave and brave, but had no benevolent and virtuous temperament. If he succeeded the throne in the future, it would definitely be a great harm to the world, so he ordered Yan Liang to be the king of the Northwest, and Yongzhen Longyoudao was not allowed to transfer orders. You are not allowed to enter Beijing without permission.

　　Although Yan Liang was arrogant, he did not dare to make trouble in front of his father, and he has been peaceful for two years since then.

　　But after Yan Bi's death, Yan Liang revived his ambitions and led his troops to the capital.

　　At that time, Yan Ge's elder brother Yan Xin was in power, and the government was controlled by Zhang Hezhi, Zhou Yang and other powerful ministers and warlords. Yan Liang was naturally inferior to these old foxes in terms of power and tactics. In the end, he led his troops back to the northwest under coercion and inducement.

　　But now, Yan Ge has cleaned up those powerful officials and thieves. His younger brother sees that his brother has been comfortably seated on the throne, and he wonders if he will be heartbroken again?

　　So Yan Ge asked side by side, "I don't know how Brother Liang is doing, but did you ever plan to take Sister Lan Fei to Shanzhou?"

　　Tong Su shook his head and said, "Liang'er hasn't written a letter for a long time. He has always been a little indifferent. How could he think of such a thoughtful thing. What's more, before the death of the late emperor, he clearly forbade me from leaving the palace. He just couldn't do it if he wanted to."

　　At this time, Yan Ge immediately figured out why among so many concubines in Yanbi, Tong Su was able to enjoy such a special status. After the death of the previous emperor, she was the only concubine who still retained the palace except the empress dowager.

　　If he can complete a free mission and wait for the completion of the stage mission "Great Cleaning Movement" after a while, he will have enough points to redeem this thing.
