When Situ Gongsun Yang followed the waiter's footsteps and came to the study, Wei Marquis Wei Feng was already sitting in the main seat, while Wei Prime Minister Gongsun Qi was sitting behind the tables below.

However, judging from the unsightly expressions on their faces, the mood of this pair of monarchs and ministers was not that good at the moment.

You must know that Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi witnessed the scene just now, and those words that made people angry naturally reached their ears.

If others heard that sentence, they might say with a wry smile that meat eaters are despicable.

However, Wei Feng, who was the Marquis of Wei, and Gongsun Qi, who was the Prime Minister of Wei, saw an extremely bad reality.

That is, the military meritorious aristocracy of the Wei State, headed by Wei Wuzu, is gradually declining. You must know that it has only been more than forty years since the founding of the Wei State.

For more than forty years, Wei's victory in foreign wars made these people increasingly arrogant.

If time continues according to the original historical process, the military aristocratic group headed by Wei Wuzu will become more and more proud until they are severely damaged by the Qi army led by Tian Ji, Sun Bin, and Tian Pan in Maling.

Recalling the Battle of Maling he experienced in his previous life, Wei Feng's brows wrinkled unconsciously.

In the past life, why the Wei army failed to recover after the Battle of Maling is probably closely related to what is happening now.

The elite Wei soldiers were severely wounded in Maling. Those who are their descendants are just greedy for pleasure and greedy for life and fear of death.

Coupled with the fact that the Wei State lost the ability to support another Wei soldiers again, the Wei State's hegemony supported by its strong military power undoubtedly collapsed.

His right hand was clenched into a fist, and his eyes were full of determination. At this moment, Wei Feng was even more determined in his heart.

The system of military merit and nobility is imperative.

Just when Wei Feng was frowning and thinking about what had just happened, Gongsun Yang had already arrived in front of him.

"My lord, Situ Gongsun Yangma, pays homage to your Majesty and has met with the Prime Minister."

"Situ, there's no need to be polite, just get up."

Wei Feng pulled his mind out of his thoughts and looked at Gongsun Yang in front of him with burning eyes, "Situ, what happened just now has been seen by both the widow and the prime minister."

"How is Situ going to deal with those who besieged Situ's residence?"

After Wei Feng finished speaking, Gongsun Yang looked solemn, and his thoughts began to fly rapidly.

After a moment of silence, Gongsun Yang's voice sounded again in the study, "Since Prime Minister Li Kui established the "Book of Laws", our country in Wei has always dealt with criminals by law. It's just..."

The pause and hesitation in Gongsun Yang's words immediately aroused Wei Feng's curiosity.

"Just what?"

When Wei Feng's obviously majestic voice sounded, Gongsun Yang immediately took a step forward, closing the distance between himself and the other party.

"For your information, Your Majesty, I believe that the reason why these people surrounded my residence is not an impulsive move but someone is obstructing them."

Gongsun Yang threw out his judgment, but Gongsun Qi, who had been silent below Wei Feng, responded in a deep voice.

"What Situ means is that what happened today was not accidental, but came because of you."

"No, to be more precise, it's for your Majesty and the military merit system that is being implemented."

Gongsun Yang immediately turned his gaze to Gongsun Qi who was standing aside, and the look in his eyes was replaced by unanimous excitement.

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true."

"Your Majesty, these people today are not just a group of noble disciples, they are a considerable force behind them."

"If this power is used by someone with intentions, it will not only be detrimental to the ministers, but also detrimental to the emperor, the military merit system, and the country of Wei."

Because of the analysis by Gongsun Qi and Gongsun Yang, Wei Feng fell into thinking again.

Today's Wei State is falling into inevitable turmoil due to the ongoing implementation of the military merit system.

What I'm afraid of is that some people in the Wei Kingdom want to take advantage of this turmoil and use various means to achieve their ulterior goals.

So how should you deal with the current situation?

After a moment of thinking, Wei Feng first looked at Gongsun Yang, who was standing in front of him.

"Situ, since what happened today happened because of you, then I won't bother the two masters about anything."

"You must always send someone to pay attention to the movements of these noble disciples and the people behind them. If there is any trouble..."

Having said this, Wei Feng seemed to be making a difficult decision, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

After a few breaths, Wei Feng took off the sword from his waist and slowly came to Gongsun Yang.

"Your Majesty?" Looking at the sword handed to him, Gongsun Yang's face showed some doubts.

"This is my sword. I have the right to mobilize troops."

"From today on, I grant you the power to make decisions on the fly. If the situation is urgent, you can use this sword to mobilize all the troops in Anyi City."

"In addition, I will secretly send this order to General Zhai Liang of Anyi later. I believe that you will be able to unite sincerely and protect our country Wei."

Feeling the sword that Wei Feng handed to him personally, although it was only three feet long, Gongsun Yang felt that it was as heavy as a thousand pieces.

Holding the long sword tightly with both hands, Gongsun Yang knelt down on one knee and raised it above his head.

"My Lord, Sun Yang, will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."

"My dear, please get up quickly."

Stepping forward to help Gongsun Yang, Wei Feng said solemnly: "Situ, implementing the military merit system is beneficial to our Wei army and our country. I am determined to do so."

The eyes of a good minister who is good at reform and a monarch who is committed to reform meet, and a promise as heavy as a mountain is reached at this moment.

"Political power comes from the barrel of a gun."

This sentence is an extremely correct truth no matter which era it is placed in.

Why the Qin State in the previous life could successfully implement Shang Yang's reforms was because the powerful Qin army inherited by Duke Xiao of Qin from Duke Xiang of Qin was a solid barrier.

Now if the Wei State wants to successfully implement the military merit system, it is also very important to firmly control the general power.

In Anyi City, Situ Gongsun Yang was in charge, and Anyi General Zhai Liang was organizing the troops. The military power was undoubtedly firmly controlled by Wei Feng.

But don't forget, just over ten miles away from Anyi, by the Sushui River, is stationed one of the most elite troops in the Wei State and even in the world.

Wei Wuzu, this army led by the general, can they stand firmly on Wei Feng's side?

Wei Feng was not completely sure about this, because of the vague position held by General Pang Juan, and because this military meritocracy started with Wei Wuzu.

Thinking of this, Wei Feng looked at Prime Minister Gongsun Qi beside him.

If we talk about his status in the Wei army, Gongsun Qi is uniquely aloof since the death of his former prime minister, Gongshu Cuo.

It was he who single-handedly promoted the current general Pang Juan, who led the Wei army to achieve Wei Feng's first great victory after he succeeded to the throne, and who planned Wei's foreign victories one after another.

If there is anyone who can make Pang Juan and Wei soldiers make the right choice, apart from Xiangguo Gongsun Qi, Wei Feng can hardly find anyone else in the current Wei court.

Having been monarchs and ministers for more than ten years, and having known each other for more than ten years, Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi didn't have many unnecessary words to say.

"Prime Minister, can you please go to Sushui for me?"

"My lord, I will obey your orders."
