But then again, if there was news about pig farms in this era, Sima Ji could kill the nine clans without asking the reason, and there was no room for living like pig farms. Who could allow a place where cursing the country every day is a sense of existence?
"The King of Qi Sima Chao came to report that Zhang Chang's troops had been destroyed, and Zhang Chang himself had been captured. The King of Qi meant to escort the capital. The King of Qi led a large army into Yangzhou and joined forces with the King of Dong'an to completely eradicate the civil rebellion." Zhang Bin came to the Yan Palace with the military newspaper and happened to see Wang Yan leave.
"Escort the capital, and Lingchi was executed. All the rioters and strong men from his troops were sent to the canal. It just so happened that the Jiankang and Jicheng sections were still short of labor. The female family members of the rioters were distributed to the soldiers in the army. Let some people who were ill-behaved and dared to rebel. If these unruly people didn't deal with them, they would think that I was diligent and loving the people. One thing that the enemies did not completely slander me, that is, I really often use murder as a means to solve the problem." Sima Ji had a ferocious look on his face, and there was no chatting and laughing with Wang Yan just now.
This is another issue when it comes to rebellion. Power cannot tolerate any mercy. Sima Ji even killed the royal relatives and noble families, and could he persuade others with kind words? He was completely overthinking. In his eyes, the people who dared to rebel were no longer considered the people under the rule of the court.
Rebellion is a dead end, and it is untolerable to any person in power. Sima Ji, as the spokesperson of the feudal lord, naturally would not betray his class.
"I will immediately deliver the meaning of King Yan to King Qi. Now it has been decided in Jingzhou. I believe that this civil rebellion will be calmed down soon." Zhang Bin said with a respectful look on his face, "The world is stable, congratulations to King Yan."
"This is just the beginning. I need to take good care of this country." Sima Ji looked well-deserved, as if the world was supposed to be his final say.
The gentry's high sects were killed and surrendered, and the biggest resistance had already surrendered, so the next round of actions should be started. Of course, this still requires the support of the royal kings. Sima Ji never went to fight alone. No matter what he did, he always had to serve him with a force that supported him.
For the royal family, it is much easier to talk about their own interests than how beneficial it is to the country and the people. Even if this matter is really beneficial to the country and the people, Sima Ji must talk about his own interests, so that it will be easier to achieve his goal.
He must maintain the upward channel among the people. He did not mention how good it is to the country, but only talked about how good it is to the royal family. Even if this matter is really beneficial to the court, if he really wants to evaluate himself fairly, Sima Ji quickly ended the Eight Kings Rebellion and did not make the Hu people turn the tables. He was simply a saint who saved the world, but no one knew about this.
No one believed that the mere Hu people could cause any harm to the world. After all, this incident had never happened before. So after the end of the Eight Kings Rebellion, Sima Ji got nothing except for gaining a full range of evil comments.
This is reality, so after the kings came to the Yan Palace again, Sima Ji sat upright for a long time, and still said with some worries, "Although the gentry has given up now, I have thought about it and wanting to sit firmly for a long time, I must cut off the soil for the breeding and growth of the gentry, otherwise our Sima family will not be able to sleep peacefully."
"Even if our family hides in the mansion every day to give birth, they will not give birth to families scattered in various places. It may not be a big deal now. Once a hundred years later, there will be many powerful gentry members in various places, and they will cover the sky with their own hands in the local prefectures. Wouldn't it be a threat to our great Jin world? Think about it, is that happening?"
Although things are too far away a hundred years later, not everyone is open-minded after I die, even if the flood is overwhelming, most of the royal families still hope that all their wealth and wealth will be better as long as possible. So Sima Ji expressed his concerns and immediately made all the vassal kings empathize with them. The possibility that the King of Yan not only exists, but is almost destined.
"Since the King of Yan has such concerns, I believe there is a certain solution in my heart. I and all the kings are here, so the King of Yan can speak out loud." King of Liang Sima Xi pondered for a moment, and saw Sima Ji's expression, he knew that there was something to discuss with them. He directly spoke to Sima Ji but said it was okay.
"The King of Liang is quick to speak, so I won't hide it. I really have an immature way to make these high gentry sects farther away from our royal family." Sima Ji fiddled with the jade ring in his hand and said calmly, "If we want us to be happy, there are two things we must do. The first is that the emperor trusts the royal family. If there is no problem with this today, I am afraid that the next emperor will have some grudges against us."
"The King of Yan has already said that the emperor should not take care of it personally. As long as we do not interfere with the court and ensure our status with the new laws of Jin, we can completely let the grown-up emperor treat us well in accordance with the law within twenty years." King Liang Sima Xi nodded. This is also the reason why the royal family members finally supported Sima Ji. Although the emperor could not manage the government, every vassal king knew that the emperor's fertility was fine, and the two princesses and the former prince could prove this.
In the Great Jin law compiled by Sima Ji, taking advantage of the fact that the emperor cannot govern the country and the empire has no heirs, he directly seized the emperor's authority and stipulated what the emperor can manage and what it cannot manage. If it were any empire, no emperor would be able to do so, but the conditions of my Great Jin Dynasty were special, so the emperor would really not care about this matter.
For his own status, the kings supported him to use the law to limit the power of the emperor, and even strongly supported the legalists who had already disappeared without a trace. Taking a step back ten thousand steps, even if the emperor died of illness and died, the one who had the most strength to ascend the throne was actually the King of Yan. The King of Yan stated that he would restrict the rights of the emperor, and they would support him even more. If the emperor had no descendants, the King of Yan would suffer the greatest losses.
Therefore, after the promulgation of the Great Jin Law, as long as twenty years have passed, even if the emperor has a child in the future, the prince will only realize that this is the world, and that everything is not the final word of the emperor.
In the final analysis, when these vassal kings saw Sima Ji restricting the power of the emperor in the Great Jin Dynasty, they were actually afraid that if the prince who might be born in the future would ascend to the throne and become the emperor, they learned about this internal struggle in the royal family, and the kings raised up to attack and kill each other and settled the score later.
Therefore, as the most powerful political force in the Great Jin Dynasty, it strongly supported the idea of supporting the Legalists, supported the new laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, gave it a sacred and inviolable status, and even accepted Sima Ji's new division in scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
The royal kings were afraid that the emperor would settle accounts in the future, which was not good for the royal family, so they directly supported Sima Ji to use the Dajin Rule to lock up part of the emperor's rights. This selfish behavior could make them attack the imperial power, let alone the noble family of the gentry?
After the threat from the emperor disappeared, the only groups that could threaten the status of the royal family were left. Now the King of Yan said that he would pay attention to eliminating this threat, how could they disagree? Even the emperor was restricted and he still cared about adding a gentry?
"Can the law still be restricted?" King Wuling Sima Xi couldn't help but ask Sima Ji.
"No? The law is the basis, and it is too much to give people a handle." Sima Ji shook his head slightly and said, "I have other ways."
"Please speak frankly, King Yan!" The kings spoke one after another, hoping that Sima Ji would tell him bluntly, and the enthusiasm was no less than that before.
"I have a little immature idea, and I also discuss it with you." Sima Ji did not keep it in his own interests, and I believe that these vassal kings will not be difficult to win at all. "I think that the threat to our Sima family to dismantle the gentry is first of all the decisive power over the doctrine. If the people in the world are ignorant, they will believe whatever the gentry says, and we can't see it. Sooner or later they will restore their strength and not listen to the imperial court."
"The Legalists alone can't help watching them, because the Legalists have not yet established a stable foothold and still need time to grow. The gentry can also learn the classics of the Legalists and put them into practice. Then, they can also gain a transcendent position." Sima Ji took off the jade ring in his hand and said, "A decisive decision of a doctrine must not fall into the hands of the gentry. Now, while the Legalists have just accomplished their career, we must take the initiative to grab it."
"All the kings know that the Legalist thought has strong characteristics of civilians. They advocate punishment and failure to avoid ministers, and reward good people without giving up. I think we can start from this aspect." Sima Ji said word by word, "Enter talented scholars by taking the exam in the form of a separate subject. Those who read and read in the world can join. This matter is dominated by the court, and the talented talents obtained can be used by me."
"What is the specific method?" King Liang Sima Xi said to himself in a daze. If it was just an exam, it had appeared before.
"From the five stages of the provincial examination and the provincial examination, scholars who are familiar with the classics can enter the examination." Sima Ji said the operation, "If the provincial examination does not take the examination, it is just to improve the literacy rate of the people. The provincial examination and county examination are tested every year, and the municipal examination and examination are tested every two years. The former is handed over to the Supervisor of the Central Secretariat, and the latter is admitted to the palace and the emperor or the kings personally take the invigilance."
"Before the county examination, all classics must be tested, and most competitors must be eliminated as much as possible. After the imperial examination, various miscellaneous studies should be added, but the legalists should be the main one." Sima Ji spread his hands, "In these five stages, a large number of scholars must be eliminated in each stage. The talent who really passed the palace examination will be directly appointed as the county magistrate. As for the students who were eliminated in other stages, it would be good to be a pavilion chief."
"Think about it, even if a handsome man who passed the palace examination is young, he will still be in his twenties. He has been a county magistrate for five years and a doctor's order for several years. He will be promoted step by step until he becomes a prefect or governor. He will be at least forty or fifty years old. He is not far from his seventies, and when he is sixty, even if we don't let him return to his hometown to retire, we can be transferred to a leisurely place. At that time, I believe that most people are not far from death. The officials who have been enrolled in this way have no accumulation. Their intelligence does not mean that their descendants are also smart. Their becoming officials does not mean that their descendants can be officials, which does not pose a threat to our royal family."
Sima Ji finished his thoughts, and the kings in the main hall did not say anything for a long time. It was not that they disagree, but that they were thinking about whether there was any negligence. Finally, they all expressed their support for the saying, "The monopoly of the high-ranking gentry of the gentry is very unfair to the people of the world. The King of Yan saved the people and the fire."
