Chapter 259 Gladiator Fight
The civil and military officials in the court were full of indignation and righteous indignation, just like Li Yang was a traitor who was unforgivable and harmed the country and the people, and he could only kill him quickly.
Let the people punish the governments in various places, as well as the aristocrats and upstarts who annexed the land...
This will not change the color of the world!
Thinking about Feng Quji and others, they felt cold on their backs.
Everyone knew very well that at this time, the people knew that the court was implementing a new policy and confiscating the annexed land for redistribution, but the governments in various places were slanderous, which shattered their hopes. The lower-level people could be said to be without resentment.
But why do the people dare not speak out?
Are you afraid of the little bit of officials and servants in the governments of various counties?
Obviously, these are not what they are afraid of.
The reason is very simple, because behind these county and county governments, there are hundreds of thousands of troops from the imperial court.
Will you dare to make a big fuss about local governments because the policies issued by the court were not implemented by the local government?
The answer is obviously no one will do this.
Most people will choose to put this feeling of disappointment and anger in their hearts. No one dares to cause trouble, and no one dares to rebel!
However, once the court raised its arms and shouted, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin Dynasty were no longer the backing of local officials and powerful people. Will these lower-level people still be afraid?
The bullying and bullying I have suffered in the past, the cowardly angers that dare not speak out in the past will all vent their wildest...
It can be imagined how miserable the officials and the powerful people who have annexed land would die under the situation of sparks!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a storm, a big storm! Once this storm becomes strong, no one can stop it, and no powerful people can survive this big storm.
Unless... you take the initiative to hand over the annexed land early in the morning.
However, how many counties and counties in various places have truly actively completed the restoration of the old land system?
It can be said that except for the Guanzhong counties and counties around Xianyang, almost no other place is implementing the new policy.
In other words, the upstarts of the Qin Dynasty were almost wiped out.
For Feng Quji, the struggle between him and Li Yang in the court was actually a battle between two interest groups.
What I represent is the aristocratic interest groups, old clans, gentry, and upstarts.
Li Yang represented the working people, lightening corvee labor, changing the law, abolishing the joint position, bidding to save disasters, and restoring the old Qin land system to divide the land equally. What is not for the working people?
The so-called new policy is actually to enrich the people and strengthen the country.
If you want to enrich the people, land is the first step, so what you harm is the interests of aristocratic interest groups.
Nowadays, from the court to the local government, all aristocratic interest groups have become one and resist the new law. As the saying goes, if the law does not come, there will be many people. Even the emperor has no choice, because all this is related to the country and whether the court can operate normally.
In other words, Li Yang was undoubtedly defeated by relying solely on the emperor's favor and power.
Obviously, Li Yang also saw this clearly, so he came up with the help of the power of the lower class to win this political struggle.
In this way, behind Li Yang, there is no longer only the emperor, but there are millions or tens of millions of huge forces. Once this force is twisted into a rope, there is no force to stop it!
Once the aristocratic groups in various places were wiped out, the ministers and old clans in the court were really nothing.
Not only Feng Quji knew this clearly, but the others in the hall were also very insightful.
It is precisely because of this that everyone felt scared and became angry and wanted to kill Li Yang.
However, how could the emperor not see through what everyone knows?
Kill Li Yang?
joke!
Kill Li Yang, does the Qin Dynasty's dream of a strong country depend on you old clans and upstarts who only care about their own interests?
Therefore, Ying Zheng naturally could not believe what Feng Quji and others said at this time. And if it weren't for the fact that he was in the hall, he would even want to give Li Yang a thumbs up and praise him "Awesome".
What is talent? This is talent!
What is amazing? This is amazing.
At this time, Ying Zheng finally understood why Li Yang dared to swear that he could witness a miracle. This... was a miracle!
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Yang's plan is a magical plan. It is obvious that one dead ends, but one move is to turn the world around. It is simply a magical plan.
While Ying Zheng was secretly admiring in his heart, he actually felt a little worried.
Because although Li Yang's plan is very superb, it is also crazy.
In fact, the advice that Feng Quji and the others said was not completely unreasonable and unreasonable. If the people are really out of control, the country and the country will be in danger.
So, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "What Feng Xiang is worried about is not without reason. If the people are not under control, have you considered the consequences?"
Li Yang replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the people will not be in chaos, nor will they rebel, nor will they dare to rebel!"
"Oh? Are you so confident?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and became curious.
Li Yang said: "There are three reasons. One is the heart. The court takes over the land to annex the land for the sake of the people of the world and everyone knows it. Therefore, their hearts are towards the court and towards His Majesty."
"Secondly, benefit. The people responded to the call of the court, inspected and supervised the new policy, and the spearhead was to criticize and fight against the officials and local tyrants who resisted the law, so as to divide the land evenly. Therefore, in this national movement, they have goals. Once this goal is achieved, it will stop and will not deteriorate uncontrollably."
"Third, power. The Qin Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops, and its army is powerful. Who dares to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he nodded and felt very reasonable.
At this time, Feng Quji said, "Your Majesty, the ruler of the king is all wishful speculation. Once this kind of campaign to criticize officials and ignore the government, the world will definitely lose control. At that time, the imperial court's laws will not be passed on, and our Qin Dynasty will be in a catastrophe!"
Bai Zheng and others also hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, once officials from all over the country are criticized by the people, how can the imperial court be issued? Those people who are crazy about revenge on the government will be like a wild horse that is out of control and will no longer be controlled by the court. If the court wants them to stop, they will no longer obey. Your Majesty, the king of Zhenguo has ulterior motives, but he has the intention to destroy our Great Qin!"
"fart!"
Li Yang shouted coldly and said angrily: "If the people dare to rebel, will our army of hundreds of thousands of troops in Qin be a decoration?"
Bai Zheng also took the initiative to go out, turned his head and glared at Li Yang, questioning: "All officials in various places have been criticized by the people, how can the imperial court be issued?"
To be honest, this question is really tricky and realistic.
Because once officials from various counties and counties are absent from work and strike, the state machinery will stop operating, and the imperial court's laws will naturally not be passed on to all parts of the world.
In other words, the entire Qin Dynasty will no longer be ruled by the court, which is a very dangerous thing.
At this moment, Ying Zheng had to take it seriously, and turned to look at Li Yang with a solemn expression.
Li Yang ignored Bai Zheng and turned to Ying Zheng directly and said, "Your Majesty, letting the people inspect and supervise the new policy is not to indulge the people to kill and set fire, nor to allow them to act freely and scatteredly, but to act with unity and discipline."
"At the beginning, I said that the court issued a government order and the people from all over the country set up an inspection team. What is an inspection team? The so-called team means that they are not scattered people, but representatives of the people who have subordinates, disciplines, and act in accordance with the imperial decrees."
"It's ridiculous to have unity and discipline, haha, it's so ridiculous!"
Bai Zheng sneered and asked: "My territory of Great Qin is vast. If you rule the king in the court, how can you control those unruly people?"
"Shangshu Bai asked well!"
Li Yang smiled and turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, the question asked by Shangshu Bai is actually the second thing I want to ask for today! I plan to restructure it."
“Reorganized?”
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
You should know that the last time the reorganization was to abolish the nine ministers, change the office, temple, and the department and the court.
And what did he want to do this time?
"Reform?" Ying Zheng was also very curious, with a look of confusion.
Chapter completed!
