People are in the court, and the queen is a faint king

"The method of the autumn test at the beginning was useful, but only a small one. It can change some situations, but it can't change much." Prince Mu said again: "The core problem is still the popularization of education..."

"The lonely king also knows, but it's impossible. Da Luo and Ben can't afford to build a large number of private schools. This is ten times or tens of times more difficult than popularizing farm tools... Besides, paper, etc., are all expensive. It’s not something the treasury can afford...before the common people could only feed themselves..." said the empress.

"Your Majesty still knows that you can only feed yourself?" Prince Mu asked.

"Aiqing, don't blame the lonely king, okay?" the empress said weakly.

"Okay!" Lord Mu didn't talk too much about it, but said: "Your Majesty, if I can lower the price of paper so that every household can afford it, will it impact the foundation of the family and popularize education? Cut off the talent monopoly of the family from the root, shake the foundation of the family, spread education to the world, and then select courtiers in the autumn test, so that the courtiers are no longer members of the family, but selected from the people of the world..."

As soon as Prince Mu said what he said, His Majesty froze in place.

Then, completely froze.

She could hardly believe the prospect, a prospect that seemed unbelievable, but wonderful.

At that time, most of the voices in the court were no longer aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families could no longer influence the heavens, and were no longer a burden to the dynasty. Most of the courtiers in the court were selected from the common people in the world, and they chose talents to use them. Don't worry about the family forming a group...threat to the dynasty.

This possibility, this inconceivable possibility, made His Majesty take a deep breath.

Just a moment later, she shook her head lightly: "This, how is this possible... Impossible."

"Paper, very expensive... expensive..."

"That's why I said that solving the paper problem... will solve one of the core problems." Prince Mu said.

Listening to her words, the Empress temporarily lost her ability to think, her mind seemed to stop functioning, as if struck by a thunderbolt, she was completely absent-minded.

After a while, she came back to her senses.

Some dry mouth.

It's not that she hasn't thought about this possibility, it's just that she hasn't thought about it at all. The person surnamed Mu can really solve it. She really can't believe it. This is too important.

"Mu Aiqing...but... developed a simple paper-making method..." Just mentioning this possibility, the empress could hardly think about it.

However, the importance of paper, its importance, can be judged from being listed as one of the four great inventions of ancient China, and its unparalleled importance can be judged. It is not surprising that it will have a great impact on the empress when it is taken out now.

"Your Majesty, yes...the minister has a way...so, I didn't even touch it."

"There is really a way." His Majesty couldn't sit still anymore, he took a step forward and grabbed Prince Mu's shoulder, his beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

Lord Mu frowned, a faint fragrance soaked into his nose, he couldn't help sniffing.

Today's Majesty was stunned, then his face flushed slightly, a trace of shyness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but his face was angry, pretending to be angry and said: "Mu, what are you doing? How dare you belittle the lonely king? ? Are you not afraid that the lonely king will cut you? Why are you so bold? Are you not afraid of death?"

"Your Majesty... I am afraid of death!"

"Afraid of death, do you still dare?" The empress was furious, she quickly let go of the latter, took a few steps back, and returned to the sitting place, her heart was already in a mess. Mu can tell.

"The minister really didn't mean it, it's a last resort." Mu Wangye said.

It's a last resort.

Now His Majesty suppressed the shyness and shock in his heart, and said coldly: "Ai Qing, only this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Prince Mu said calmly, thinking in his heart, it can't be just this time, I dare you, there will be more times in the future.

The empress took a light breath and continued: "Aiqing, is there really a way to make paper?"

"Your Majesty, there are." Prince Mu said.

"What's the way?" His Majesty's heart was shaking again, and he couldn't help asking,

Lord Mu thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the method is very simple, but after studying it, I didn't even touch it."

"I didn't even touch it..." His Majesty was startled, and then suddenly reacted, nodded slightly, and then rubbed his brows and said: "Aiqing is right to do this. In the current situation of Daluo, the papermaking As soon as the method comes out, once it becomes popular, the aristocratic and wealthy families will definitely be in turmoil. It is not known whether they will get dizzy at the time, and whether they will do something big. However, the current Daluo cannot stand the toss. With this method, it is still required Stability is the best..."

"I think so too. At least I have to wait for a period of time. After the people are stable and the national strength of the Great Fall begins to increase, then I can slowly plot. Not now." Prince Mu said.

The empress felt a headache again when she heard this, and the question went around and around, but it still came back.

"Then Aiqing...doesn't it mean that we have to marry them." Now that the problems of the aristocratic family cannot be resolved in a short time, they still have to bear their pressure. Broken aristocratic families and foundations have cultivated a large number of talents from poor families in more than ten years, which has changed the stubborn disease of the aristocratic family, but such far-reaching impact is that in the long run and in the short term, the method of papermaking, It's still not of much use... Da Luo still has to be influenced by wealthy families.

The current problem has not been solved at all.

"Your Majesty, can you just let me get married at every turn? Do you treat me like a commodity?" Lord Mu said angrily, I'm not a prince or princess, why is everyone coming at me, the dog emperor is still unreliable, Keep pushing Ben Wang out, I'll wipe it, have you eaten your rice?

A foreign country for a while, and a local famous family for a while, is it really Lao Tzu's goods?Anyone want to talk to each other?

"Aiqing, the lonely king doesn't even want to." The empress said the truth, she was very wronged in her heart, she didn't want to push Lord Mu into the arms of other women.

"Who knows if His Majesty really doesn't want to, or just pretends not to." Mu Wangye said with dissatisfaction in his tone, "It's not difficult to solve this problem. The aristocratic family is too busy right now. Find something for them to do." They won't focus on the king's affairs and let them involve themselves."

"Aiqing, what do you mean by that?" The empress was startled for a moment, then froze, she thought she had heard it wrong.

The one surnamed Mu really has a solution?

There is really a way to have the best of both worlds, a way to not be affected by the family, and a way to marry, just thinking about it makes her a little unbelievable.

Is there really such a way?

Lord Mu thought for a while, and said, "It depends on His Majesty's attitude and determination towards the family..."

"The lonely king has a lot of determination... There is nothing wrong with the existence of the aristocratic family, but the current aristocratic family is too much." The empress's eyes were cold. She never denied the credit of the aristocratic family. , so that the grassroots, middle, and even high-level officials are not scarce, but this is what makes her angry. Family, family, when it is critical, the family is still the main one.

...... 0

At the most critical moment, the hearts of officials in the court are tied to the family, not to the people of the world.

Looking at today's aristocratic families, relying on the great power of the imperial court, but the imperial court is too weak to do too many reforms, it is getting more and more excessive, and the country is in dire straits during times of disaster, and sometimes, it even takes the initiative to provoke large and small battles, A small war, from which a large sum of money is made, only cares about the development of the family, if it weren't for her, it would be appropriate for the big fall to be stable.

I'm afraid the aristocratic family will be the first one to end up, let Da Luo get into chaos first, and be the first to make a lot of profits in the chaos.

His Majesty sees this very clearly, and in her plan... the aristocratic family has long been listed as a thorn in the heart, and it must be suppressed.

After Jieshi succeeded, the first thing she did after she regained her national strength was probably to ruthlessly grab the thorns of a few aristocratic families and come out to kill them, and then suppress them vigorously, so that the aristocratic families can be honest. .

Afterwards, her thinking was similar to that of Prince Mu, to develop education, pay attention to Qiushi, and vigorously reform...

However, if there is no paper method, the reform will inevitably be much more difficult and the effect will be much lower. However, if paper can be popularized, the effect will be multiplied by a thousand times, and the effect will be extremely terrible... Autumn test, also There will be a lot of talents, countless talents from all over the world will be produced, and education will be popularized throughout Daluo. How many talents will be able to manage the world?

"Aiqing, what's the best way to achieve both?" The Empress asked again, with hope in her eyes, she couldn't wait to hear it.

She doesn't want to let the family go, but there is no other way now, but Lord Mu has a way...

If she heard it from other people, she could no longer believe it. It was unimaginable to be able to make paper, and then she thought of a short-term way to make the family look after itself. How could this be possible?

But from Lord Mu's mouth, she believed it.

However, Prince Mu also spoke again: "Your Majesty, just like Wei Gong and Wang Shoufu, your vision is limited by the times... I have reminded you before that you have to look at things outside of the routine, so that you can make a decision." The most correct decision..."

As soon as Prince Mu's words came out, a thunder flashed in His Majesty's mind.

Many thoughts flashed through, such as many methods before... Thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, but just like what Lord Mu said, it must, must jump out of the limitations of the times...

This shocked the heart of His Majesty today. Has his vision gone so far ahead?

"Your Majesty, forget the series of restrictions you have in your mind, forget all the rules and regulations, forget all the rules and regulations, and start thinking carefully from scratch... You really have no way to deal with the aristocratic family?" Mu Wangye stared at the present Your Majesty, asked slowly.

The empress began to think deeply, and after a while, she took a deep breath: "It's difficult, could it be..."

"Yes! Your Majesty must have thought of it." The empress is indeed extremely smart, just a simple mention, she can think of it so quickly, Prince Mu is a little unbelievable, how long has it been? ?Anyway, he couldn't do it, if it wasn't for the inspiration from his previous life experience, he wouldn't have been able to do it. Now he can think of it just by mentioning the empress, which is amazing.

"This, how can this be, this, how can this be done?" His Majesty's face was shaken, and his whole body was stiff: "This, where is the lonely king? Where is the ancestor and the ancestor?"

"Your Majesty, you have made too many mistakes... This is a good opportunity to make amends... That's why I asked, Your Majesty's determination...Your Majesty, you can choose, whether to push the minister into the family, or to bear the responsibility." Use this countermeasure against the huge pressure? Your Majesty, choose..." Prince Mu stared at His Majesty, saying every word.

The empress, on the other hand, froze in place, her slender body seemed a little fragile, and seemed a little unbearable.

After a while, Lord Mu's eyes slowly sank, and he said calmly: "I know what your majesty thinks... I will go back and think about the marriage."

"Stop." The Empress said!seven.

Chapter 107

"Stop." The empress' voice came at this moment: "The lonely king, I want to reward you, what does Aiqing want?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Mu knew that His Majesty had already made up his mind, and said: "It is already the best reward for His Majesty to make up his mind."

"Yeah!" The empress nodded.

Lord Mu, the way to say it is very simple... Even just a little mention, His Majesty is now thinking of it.

This method... is to abolish the system of direct inheritance.

Today's Daluo, from the imperial dynasty to the nobles, is under the policy of the founding emperor and implements the eldest son inheritance system.Its purpose is to stabilize the internal order of the royal family and the aristocratic class.This system relied on the naturally formed blood relationship to delineate the rank status of the nobility, thus preventing the nobility from competing for power and property.

The Daluo royal family is the biggest beneficiary. The royal family has been carefully cultivated since childhood, and the corresponding absolute concept has been planted. No matter what the situation is, the legitimate son will inherit the throne... As a result, the royal family rarely has civil strife. Occasionally, once or twice, He was also severely punished.

Now, as soon as the eldest son inheritance system is abolished, the wealthy and famous families will fall, and their heads will probably rot for the first time.

His Majesty is fine now, he has no children under his command, and it is impossible to fight for power.

As for the famous families, there are countless descendants of descendants and descendants of concubines, and they are full of talents. Once the policy of the eldest son is abolished, the concubines will not be able to sit still. They are obviously capable, and they are obviously allowed by the policy, but they will still be suppressed by the family... Jieshi...

Just thinking about all the possibilities, His Majesty feels a chill running down his back.

This is also a bottom-out strategy.

As long as it can be implemented smoothly, the aristocratic family will be slashed from the heart. Maybe there will be a certain period of decline and weakness without the method of papermaking and popularization of reforms, unless there are real top talents appear and become stronger again. Shock and gather them, but even if there are such talents, Da Luo will still benefit. The choice of the loser is mostly to defect to the royal family...

The empress took a deep breath: "This method is very good...it does not have any adverse effects on the lonely king, but it violates the rules set by the ancestors...Guwang, how will I face my ancestors in the future..."

The empress looked sad, but she still couldn't jump over this hurdle.

Hearing this, Prince Mu came back again, continued to drink the unfinished cup of tea, and at the same time said lightly: "Your Majesty, if you stick to the rules, you can only stand still and walk slowly. Innovation and reform are the general trend. Your Majesty will really go in the future." , presumably the founding emperor would also be very pleased, for His Majesty, very pleased, Your Majesty needs to know that no matter which emperor it is, what he hopes in his heart is a peaceful and prosperous world, and the prosperity of the country and the people..."

Lord Mu only said this, and he has already completely convinced His Majesty. She stared at Lord Mu, and an inexplicable desire arose in her heart. Why is he always so good? The king has solved everything, the lonely king really wants to reward him, but what else can the lonely king reward him?

It seems that there is nothing left...

In the end, His Majesty suppressed that weird desire, suppressed the feeling of dry mouth, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The lonely king understands, and the lonely king will release this matter in a few days."

"Well, Your Majesty must be careful about rebounding. Once this strategy is implemented, the family will definitely move, and it will cause quite a mess."

"What are they messing with? It's not good for the eldest son, it's not good for the nobles, but it's extremely beneficial for their second sons and concubines. As long as the lonely king suppresses the first wave of opposition, the latter, those who will win Those who benefit will naturally help the lonely king to deal with it... In this way, the aristocratic family will not be in the mood to intervene in other matters in a short time, and the lonely king can also calm down." Today's majesty said coldly, this decisiveness, She still has the ability to execute and suppress.

"What Your Majesty said is true." Prince Mu nodded.

"It's just that once this incident happened, the rich and famous family will not be at peace, and they will be involved internally, but if the lonely king has a descendant in the future, I'm afraid there will be no peace." The empress said.

"Where there are winners, there are winners and losers, this is unavoidable." Lord Mu said.

The empress thought for a while, nodded, and her mood began to improve. Regardless of other things, at least the matter that bothered her so much at the moment was resolved.

As for the throne, if it doesn't work, just have one...

Thinking of having a baby, His Majesty's face suddenly turned cold and darkened, and she thought of many bad things again.

The atmosphere froze for a short moment, and a moment later, the corner of the empress's mouth showed a smile in a good mood, and said: "Aiqing, the lonely king heard you say that you have a sweetheart before? The lonely king can give Aiqing a marriage."

She directly forgot that she was in a bad mood just now.

Lord Mu was startled when he heard the words, and then said with complicated eyes: "I still have one unresolved matter in my heart, and I don't plan to get married until this matter is resolved."

"Successful? Can the lonely king help Aiqing?" the empress asked, even if she was as smart as him, she still couldn't figure out what Lord Mu was thinking, and couldn't see through him. His eyes were too far away, so far that she couldn't keep up. And the ability is too terrifying, people can't guess his thoughts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty...Only the subject can do this by himself." Prince Mu said in his heart, asking you to help... Is it okay to let you know?

"So, the lonely king won't bother me too much." The empress thought to herself, what is he planning in secret?It's a pity that the lonely king's heart and energy are all in cultivation, otherwise he spends some time... Maybe he can still keep up with his train of thought...

"Aiqing, the lonely king is tired, and Aiqing also went back to rest earlier."

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave." Prince Mu withdrew.

The next day.

early morning.

Today, His Majesty has implemented the destruction of the eldest son system without enlistment.

In the early dynasty, civil and military officials gathered.

His Majesty's eyes were cold, and he spoke calmly, using Prince Mu as his saber: "After the lonely king came down to court yesterday, I went back to learn from the pain."

Speaking of this, Her Majesty the Empress looked at the official who proposed to let Prince Mu marry the famous family yesterday, and said coldly: "The dignified court has turned into a place for talking about marriage and making noise... The more the lonely king thinks about it, the more heartbroken he is. It’s everyone’s background, highly respected, but the lonely king is too disappointed.”

Empress, directly targeting the noble family, during the scene, the officials of the famous family changed their minds, and had a vague premonition that His Majesty will not target the target indiscriminately. She said these words before, and I am afraid that the next step will be amplified.

All the officials of the prominent family were anxious, but because the Empress launched an attack so suddenly, they couldn't think of an excuse to change the subject.

At this time, His Majesty did not give them any time to react, and continued to say coldly: "Since King Gu took the throne, Daluo has been calm and has not seen any growth. Only after Mu Aiqing appeared, did the national strength increase."
