Chapter 600 The year is still Yuankang
"It is your business whether you are willing or not. Do you want people to watch you? You are from the Youzhou camp, and you should understand that I have never believed in anyone, so when I am in adversity, my opponents are rebelled by my subordinates. I have never encountered it yet." Sima Ji showed an amazing honesty towards everyone. He never said those beautiful words, and everything was right according to the villain's thinking.
Cao Gan had long been used to it. There is a technique in the Legalist way, which is to use the handle of killing, and requires the monarch to grasp the power of life and death, emphasize the monarch's dictatorship in the state power, and require the ministers to absolutely obey the monarch, that is, respect the monarch and be inferior to the ministers. The monarch is mainly arbitrary, and must firmly grasp the power of life and death in his own hands, and must never lose power. The specific work can be handed over to the ministers, and the monarch does not have to do everything himself.
The ability of the ministers is to supervise, examine and prevent the ministers. When the monarch appoints his ministers, he naturally requires his ministers to be loyal to his duties, strictly abide by laws and regulations, and prevent his ministers from usurping power and seizing the throne. This is an important means to ensure the efficiency of administrative work and the stability of the country and the people.
Shen Buhe’s technique can be regarded as endless troubles, which depends on the monarch’s own talent. If the monarch himself is more correct and capable, the country will prosper, the country will fall into chaos and the people will suffer.
Yanshan Camp is the place where Sima Ji used it to experiment. These children who were raised by him since childhood were deceived by the King of Yan in their early life experiences. Therefore, the King of Yan’s confidants never play the kind of gentleman openness. Confucianism is too hypocritical and weaker than the King of Yan’s kidneys, and the Legalism is more realistic.
Over the years, Sima Ji finally brought these raised children from the root. Now he only needs an appropriate opportunity, a legitimate opportunity to release these adult students and cut off the soil for breeding of the gentry from the people.
There are nearly 2,000 counties and counties in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. Sima Ji thinks this is beyond the normal range. There were 3,000 counties in China in later generations, but you have to look at how many people there were in China at that time. Now, with the most optimistic estimate, plus the population hidden among the people, the population of the Jin Dynasty was only about 30 million, and China in later generations had a population of more than one billion, and there were only more than 10,000 people in one county in Jin Dynasty. Isn’t this a joke?
Now, the first thing is to let the royal family stand completely on his side and realize the threat of the gentry to the royal family. After the gentry no longer becomes a threat, Sima Ji was trying to find a way to weaken the royal family. So there are many things happening now, and he can't go back to Jicheng for the time being.
In order to begin a new era, Sima Ji decided to officially end the Eight Kings Rebellion, which would start with the head of Sima Yue, the King of East China Sea, and together with his brothers and descendants, all beheaded as the end of the war.
As for the responsibilities of the kings participating in the war, the royal family is planning, and this does not require his concern. For the entire capital, their impression of Sima Ji was the last time he was the vassal king, but this time he was the vassal king. Seeing the noble royal relatives landing in the mortal world, the people were very excited.
However, for people from Sima Yue's party, Dai Fang, who came to promulgate the imperial decree, attracted more firepower than Sima Ji himself. Dai Fang entered the Donghai Palace many years ago, and it can be said that he was valued by Sima Yue. Now he has transformed into the confidant of the King of Yan. If there is such an internal official in the Donghai Palace who was arranged by the King of Yan, what about the other palaces?
The dozens of vassal kings who attended the scene at the same time saw the arrogant Dai Fang, and each of them was sad. Dai Fang was just an inner official, and he was nothing, but the person behind this inner official was really terrifying.
Now it seems that among the kings participating in the war, the one who was most prepared was not Sima Yong from Yecheng or Sima Ying from Chang'an, but Sima Ji, who had been guarding the border thousands of miles away and seemed to have no interest in the capital.
The sword flashed and the head fell to the ground. All the vassal kings of Sima Yue were beheaded. Sima Jicai stood up and shouted, "From now on, our great Jin Dynasty will enter a new era. All the generals obeyed the orders and wiped out all the rebels within a year, so that they could know what the treatment of traitors is. If they don't become Jin people, they will be dead."
"The last general will receive the order!" dozens of generals went out and knelt down, "The traitors, everyone will be punished."
"Remember, war has nothing to do with children. When you see the displaced children, the woman will be brought back, and the man will be sent back to Jicheng to camp!" Sima Ji waved his hand and said, "Now is a time to restore peace in the world. When the food and grass in Jicheng are transported from the canal, you will set off."
During this period, Sima Ji has been preparing to establish the Ba Mansion, and in the name of the emperor, he also sent a letter to all directions to see who listened to his orders. At the same time, he was also trying it out. How useful is the emperor's sign now? The emperor's sign may be really useless in the eyes of some people, but the 700,000 troops under his command can make up for these shortcomings and make the emperor's sign continue to shine.
Although he was a distant relative of the royal family and had no absolute appeal in prestige, he was at least much stronger than Sima Yue, who had no appeal in history. After all, his troops were several times stronger than Sima Yue. Moreover, Sima Ji defeated all the vassal kings and entered the capital, not like Sima Yue, until the end of the fisherman gained benefits. This alone is completely different.
Then Sima Ji submitted a memorial to request the change of the era in the name of the Dajin Dajin Daji. After talking in the court, a group of court officials responded enthusiastically. When King Zhao, King Qi and other vassal kings changed the era, they also responded so enthusiastically. Now it was King Yan's turn to change the era, and they still responded so enthusiastically, each searching for his heart and showing his knowledge according to classics.
"I mean Yuankang is the year name." Sima Ji looked at the court officials who were not blushing and heartbroken. He was sure that these court officials were struck by lightning just a month ago. They wanted to be struck to death by lightning immediately. Now they still spoke boldly in front of him. The degree of calmness and leisure was surprising.
"I understand that Yuankang is the year number that has been used, but the use of Yuankang as the year number is also a sign of returning to stability. Any vassal king who assists in the government always reflects his authority by changing the year number. The New Year number can be as high as a year or as few as a few months, which makes the local prefectures and counties at a loss and is too chaotic, so I decided to restart Yuankang as the year number, and this year is the 14th year of Yuankang!"
"The move of the King of Yan really demonstrated his support for the country and returned to stability during the Yuankang period."
"Yes, yes!" As soon as Sima Ji finished speaking, the direction of the entire court changed. The court officials nodded in agreement. As for the matter of happily planning the New Year's Eve, what else is there?
