back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 171
After the servant informed, Liu Geng received the announcement, and after carefully entering the Chui Gong Palace, he didn't dare to look at Lu Chengqi, he just gave a long bow, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the article has been drafted, please have a look at it."

After finishing speaking, he handed a large sheet of rice paper to Lu Chengqi.This is the case in this day and age, even if you write a little bit more, you have to spend a lot of paper.After all, it is brush calligraphy, not everyone is used to writing petty lowercase.

As a Jinshi, Liu Geng's calligraphy is really beautiful.These days, those with ugly handwriting can hardly win the Jinshi.No matter the assistant examiner or the chief examiner, they always pay special attention to scholars with good calligraphy.Many talented and learned people will also be blocked from the palace examination many times because of the unsightly handwriting with a brush, leaving lingering hatred.

Seeing this fine handwriting, Lu Chengqi felt a little more at ease. After carefully reading Liu Geng's writing, he said indifferently: "Yes, it's very well written. Liu Qing, what do you think of scholars making trouble? "

Liu Geng had been in front of and behind Lu Chengqi for almost three years, and he had only recently figured out the character of the little emperor.As for the trouble caused by the scholars, Liu Geng had already smelled a hint of it through Lu Chengqi's narration, and immediately said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I think there must be something strange about this matter!"

Lu Chengqi was taken aback, isn't this the most frequently appearing word in the drama "Detective Di Renjie"?Immediately laughed and scolded: "Well, you Liu Geng, when did you speak so ambiguously? Say it quickly, or I will never forgive you!"

Liu Geng did not hide his nervousness, wiped his sweat with his hands, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that this time, the matter will not be as simple as it appears on the surface. Those newspaper offices are not the real mastermind behind the scenes. Just like those scholars, they are being used by others."

Lu Chengqi nodded, and Liu Geng dared to continue to say: "I secretly think that this matter may be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty..." After finishing speaking, Liu Geng glanced at Lu Chengqi's expression from the corner of his eyes, and found that there was nothing unusual about Lu Chengqi, so he dared to continue. Continued to say: "...the remnants of the previous dynasty are like centipedes, dead but not stiff. After the founding of the Taizu, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was no longer implemented, and many aristocratic families hated the royal family to the bone. After Taizong ascended the throne, After killing a group of these ignorant aristocratic families, they gradually disappeared. But as my Dashun became more stable, they began to fan the flames. When the late emperor was around, they also showed signs of showing their feet. It is a pity that the late emperor was honest and did not It’s just creating murder. Your Majesty, I believe that these people are the root of the turmoil and should be eradicated as soon as possible..."

When Lu Chengqi heard this, he was quite surprised: "There are still aristocratic families in this year?" In fact, Lu Chengqi has not come into contact with this type of people.In his previous life, he had a low status and could not touch the so-called family members at all.After rebirth, he was busy with political affairs every day and had no time to care about them.Out of his understanding of history, Lu Chengqi instinctively thought that aristocratic families and such had long been submerged in the tide of history.

What he didn't think about was that even in later generations, aristocratic families still existed.Such as the Zhang family taught by Tianshi, and the Confucius family in Qufu, Shandong.Of these two families, one is a descendant of Confucius, the sage of Confucius; the other is a descendant of Zhang Daoling, who founded the Five Dou Rice Sect.These two aristocratic families have been passed down for thousands of years, and they were preserved because of the needs of the current rulers.Because one is the leader of Taoism, and the other is the sage of Confucius who persuaded people all over the world to study.Both have extremely far-reaching political interests, so the rulers in power dare not offend them too much.Otherwise, if one makes a fuss and offends Taoist believers and scholars all over the world, then something bad will happen.

And other aristocratic families gradually sank in the torrent of history.In fact, their clan genealogy is still there, but it is not as prosperous as it used to be.The root of the patriarchal clan system lies in the aristocratic family.It is from this that the rule of man is greater than the rule of law in the past dynasties of China.

At the beginning of the Dashun Dynasty, there were ten great families in the world: the Li family of Longxi, the Liu family of Peixian County, the Xie family of Chenjun, the Wang family of Langya, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the Yang family of Hongnong , Lanling Xiao.If you count the Luoyang Lu family who established Dashun, there are eleven great families.In fact, even after the Lu family established Dashun, these aristocratic families did not recognize the Lu family as a super family leader.It's because the Lu family is not known for their writing skills, but for their business.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have always been underestimated by the world, let alone those aristocratic families who care about status extremely?Dashun's great ancestor was also unambiguous, since you don't admit it, then I don't want you to be an official either.Initiated the imperial examination and no longer used the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which cut off the source of the aristocratic family at once.The children of the aristocratic family are so rich, and within a few generations, they have fallen by themselves.

These aristocratic families, of course, hated the Lu family in their bones, but unfortunately the general situation of the world was controlled by the Lu family, and after all the troubles were suppressed, there were no more members of the aristocratic family.In the Hongxiang period, even if there were still aristocratic families, they were just lingering on their last legs.

Hearing Liu Geng's explanation, Lu Chengqi suddenly realized, and said: "I know, these people are wolfish and ambitious, so I need to warn them. If they don't know how to play, then don't blame me for not having eyes with knives!"

When Liu Geng heard the words, he was so frightened that he shivered and dared not say more.Lu Chengqi suddenly asked: "The aristocratic family has fallen to this point, how can they still think about doing these things? Liu Qing, do you think someone in the court deliberately caused trouble and wanted to destroy the new law?"

Liu Geng was in a cold sweat and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I think that there is no official who is so short-sighted..."

Lu Chengqi said indifferently: "Huang Qing's announcement to become an official was passed on to me at the first time. If someone hadn't leaked the news, how would Yushitai know the above content?"

Liu Geng said tremblingly: "Perhaps... maybe there are internal thieves in Mr. Huang's mansion..."

Lu Chengqi thought about it, and it was the same reason.It is really impossible to get the playing table from him.But it cannot be said that North Korean and Chinese officials are no longer suspected.These officials seem to be serving the country and the people, but in fact they are intriguing inside, and what they do is mostly their own selfish desires.

If Dashun were to fall to the country at this moment, the first one to fall to the enemy would definitely be such an official with the most flamboyance.And the first person to die for his country was probably an official from Yushitai.

Lu Chengqi felt emotional in his heart, and thought: "Forging iron requires hard work. If it really reaches that point, Dashun will also deserve to die. What I want to do is to let the Han people not be bullied by foreigners. Whether it's Mongols, Jurchens, or Europeans, I can't let them do whatever they want in the Central Plains!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi asked Liu Geng to step down, then handed over the article to the servant, and said, "Send it to the Dashun People's Newspaper, let them make the headlines and print it, we will see it tomorrow!"

The servant set off immediately, but Lu Chengqi's heart could not be calm for a long time. The impact brought to him by the aristocratic family was too great.It completely overturned his cognition and made him feel confused. Where will this empire going in an unknown direction go?
