From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 176 The Sky Collapses (Part )
"ten thousand years is too long, fight for now!"

At the Dadongshan Palace, Emperor Qing and his entourage had just arrived at the palace and their luggage had not yet been packed when the carrier bird from the capital arrived.

After reading it, Emperor Qing threw the intelligence to the ground fiercely, "What does he want to do? He is too bold!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to issue an order to stop it?"

"Stop it? Can it be stopped? Now it's known to the world. He's doing this not only to protect you, but also to protect me." Emperor Qing's face was gloomy. "He knows that I can't smash Daqing's face to the ground, so he did this. Now neither you nor I can stop it. Besides--!"

He changed the subject and looked at Shu Wu in front of him and said, "You are a clean official, why do you also oppose these nine laws? Are the officials of this dynasty really so rotten that they can't even hold on to the most basic bottom line of being a human being?!"

hiss!
Shu Wu's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he quickly said, "It's not that I can't hold onto my moral compass. It's mainly because this will expand the functions of the Dao Judicial Department infinitely. In the long run, it will become a Supervisory Commission. Moreover, what's even more terrifying than the Supervisory Commission is that officials will be subject to supervision before they even take office. Isn't this too much power?"

"Well, you have a point. So, the Nine Laws will be promulgated as usual. They can't be stopped anyway. However, the review of the Nine Laws will be placed under the Ministry of Personnel's investigation, not the Provincial Court."

"Your Majesty is holy."

"Go."

Emperor Qing waved his hand helplessly, and Shu Wu retreated.

"Haha, officer!"

Seeing Shu Wu leave, Emperor Qing's gloomy expression suddenly disappeared and turned into a sarcastic smile.

Official!

Shu Wu's words and actions always led the conversation to the prince, as if the prince was really a traitor, but what was the truth?

Apart from being impulsive and arrogant, he holds his position quite well.

Li Chengqian, the regent, was very sensible. He did not win over officials, interfere in the military, or even develop his own clique in secret. Is there any prince who could be more reassuring than this?

As for the conflict with officials due to the Nine Laws, it was not a bad thing for him as the emperor!

Just one of the Nine Laws.

From the emperor's perspective, this is only good for the court and has no disadvantages, and it has no disadvantages for him as the emperor. It is just putting a layer of shackles on the officials. Is there anything better than this?
So, what is there for him to be angry about?

I was only angry to show Shu Wu.

Sitting back in his chair, he assumed a comfortable position, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

This time when he came to Dadong Mountain, the so-called sacrifice to heaven was just a cover-up. His target was Qing Temple. One was to find out why the temple messenger suddenly appeared in the south and killed people wantonly. The other was to tell the temple through Qing Temple that the temple messenger had died at the hands of Li Chengqian to see how the temple would react.

This is the best effort he can make now.

"Father, are our Daqing officials really unable to stand even the Nine Laws?!"

In a small courtyard inside the Dadongshan Palace, Fan Xian put down the Nine Laws in his hand and was shocked.

What is written here?

Isn’t that the bottom line of being a human being?
As long as you are a normal person, you won’t commit this offense!

He didn't consider himself a good person, but he wouldn't be the first to fall to the point where he needed to be controlled by the Nine Laws. Using such a thing to control him was simply an insult to his morality!

"Haha!" Fan Jian stroked his beard and laughed, "Back when I was thirteen or fourteen, I was also a famous street cleaner in Kyoto!"

"Uh……!"

Fan Xian didn't want to talk anymore, but he couldn't help himself. "If an official can't even do this, I think Daqing will be destroyed. The prince did the right thing." "Of course the prince did the right thing." Fan Jian smiled. "Besides, for something like this to be most effective, he has to do it at this time. His timing is perfect, and his methods are amazing!"

Fan Xian glanced at his father and felt that there was something wrong with him.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm only considering this from Daqing's perspective. The Nine Laws are good for Daqing's political situation. Even if they might cause some turmoil in the short term, Daqing has a strong foundation and isn't afraid of such turmoil. If we miss this opportunity, we'll probably have to wait until the next regent or even the next dynasty to push forward. That would waste a lot of time and wouldn't benefit Daqing."

Fan Xian nodded, not quite understanding.

"You are now a Deputy Minister of Rites, and you are about to marry Princess Chen. After the wedding, you will also take over the business of the Dafang in the capital. I don't know how many people are watching you now, so you must be careful in your actions and don't let anyone get hold of you. If they get the chance now, they will definitely make a big deal out of it."

"Look at what you said. I wouldn't go to a brothel to listen to music."

Fan Jian's face froze after hearing these words. "Don't talk nonsense. I was just doing that for official business."

When he said this, his face darkened slightly. No matter how many disagreements he had with Chen Pingping, and no matter what Chen Pingping was doing secretly, he and Chen Pingping were playmates and old friends who grew up together. He had to be sad about his death.

"Chen Pingping is dead, but Shadow hasn't come looking for you, right?!"

"Shadow?" Fan Xian shook his head in confusion. "I don't know him well, why would he come to see me?!"

"Remember, if he comes to you, no matter what he says, don't agree to it or help him. If he has any questions, tell him to come to me."

"Oh!" Fan Xian was filled with doubts, but seeing Fan Jian's serious expression, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

临淮
This is a county located in the heart of Nanqing.

Although it is only a county, in terms of reputation, only Kyoto is more famous than it in the whole of Nanqing.

Because seven hundred years ago, a sage appeared here, the one with the Heavenly Vein, Zhao Huaisheng.

In this world that has experienced a civilizational fault, Zhao Huaisheng is a legend.

It was he who compiled the various opinions of his predecessors on state governance and integrated them into one, forming a unified doctrine, Confucianism.

It was also he who persuaded the rulers of the time to govern the country with Confucianism.

In short, in the world of Joy of Life, this is a weakened character of Kong Xius plus Dong Zhongshu.

Because of his special contributions, he is respected as a sage.

His family, benefiting from his legacy, has lasted for more than seven hundred years and nearly thirty generations, and is respected as a family of sages.

It has been sought after by scholars in all dynasties.

And Linhuai, after seven hundred years of operation, has already become the Zhao family's.

Although it is not a fiefdom, it is actually no different from a fiefdom.

Early that morning, a scream was heard from the gate of Zhao's house, causing a commotion. Soon, the commotion spread throughout Linhuai County like a plague.

The Zhao family of Linhuai, with a total of more than 170 people, were all killed, with no one left alive, even the cats and dogs they raised died.

Later in the morning, the Linhuai County Magistrate hurried to the door of the Zhao family, spit out a mouthful of blood, collapsed to the ground and fainted.

In Linhuai, the Zhao family is the sky.

Today, the sky fell!
