Chapter 817 The strongest fox spirit 17

The King of Shang never thought about the affairs of the princes.

For him, it would be enough that the princes could just pay tribute, but they really didn't think about anything else.

The main reason is that my ancestors have always been like this, and he never thought of changing it.

However, Feng Anan made him face a reality.

That is, the princes he thought he was obedient to were actually richer than him.

And those noble families are also very wealthy.

Moreover, Feng Anan also told the Shang King that if there is no change, then no matter how high the grain output is, no matter how rich the world is, the benefits will be obtained by the princes and nobles. The Shang King and the people cannot get any benefits. He is still a king who is arrogant but has no money, and the people still have no food and clothing.

When the wealth of the princes and nobles accumulates to a certain extent, they will want to rebel and push back against him, the empty Shang king.

The Shang King hadn't gone to the harem for several days, so he was thinking about this matter.

He wanted to discuss it with someone.

However, the ministers in the court were all from noble families and would not tell the truth to him at all.

Then, the only thing he could negotiate was Shi Antian.

After all, neither Shi Antian nor Feng Anan had a family to rely on, so they could only rely on him as the king.

He asked Shi Antian to call him to the palace and asked Shi Antian what he thought.

Shi Antian told the Shang King: "The idea of ​​the minister is to reduce the vassal states, and to promote poor people to suppress noble families. The king can abolish the feudal system of princes and adopt the county system..."

The more Shang King listened, his eyes became brighter.

He is the king and still has political sensitivity. He knew the benefits of these systems to him as soon as he heard them. If these systems can be implemented, then the centralization system can be greatly strengthened.

From now on, the world belongs to him, and he can truly achieve the meaning of one word.

The King of Shang thought that Shi Antian had great talent, so he began to use him.

Moreover, the Shang king began to weaken the noble rights.

An Ning lived in Chaoge. She felt even more at ease when she saw the King of Shang fall into the trap.

She started to make arrangements a thousand years ago. She improved her productivity, fed food for the people, taught them all kinds of abilities, in order to promote social development and provide enough soil for today's reforms.

She asked Feng Anan and Shi Antian to go to the harem to be concubines and the other to be an official in the previous dynasty, which was also to promote the implementation of the reform.

She knew in her heart that even if productivity has increased now, it is not a good time to reform.

It is still a slave society now. If you want to transform into a feudal society at once, you will inevitably experience great pain.

It is even possible that the reform will cause a fetal death.

And this is exactly what An Ning wants.

It is said that a half-step advancement is a genius, a step further is a madman, and an tranquility means a step further.

The way of heaven has already destined to the rise of Zhou and Shang, so An Ning must minimize the losses.

Do you have to fight on a large scale if you replace a dynasty? Do you have to come in and sacrifice your disciples of the Lachan Sect and the Jie Sect? Do you have to step on the bodies of the disciples of the two dynasties to establish a new dynasty?

This is not necessarily true.

You should know that if the two religions have a dispute, the Western religion will eventually benefit.

The reason why Western religions emerged was because they had many disciples of the Anarchy and Jie Sects during the great catastrophe.

An Ning doesn’t want to be cheaper in Western religions, nor does she want so many acquaintances to fill this pit.

Then, all she wanted was not to launch a large-scale war, but could destroy the Shang Dynasty.

Now, this plan has been implemented step by step.

First, we will promote reform. During the reform process, the rights and interests of the princes and noble families will inevitably be affected. Then, these people will inevitably resist to the end.

What is said to be loyal to the country is not destroyed by the situation of not destroying one's own interests.

When your interests are weakened, there are several people who can turn a blind eye to it.

Isn’t Huang Feihu rebelled against Shang because his sister and his wife were killed by the Shang king? The death of two relatives was enough to make him betray his family and country. When the interests of his entire family were touched, his rebound would inevitably be greater.

If one person does this and all court officials do this, the Shang Dynasty will be truly over.

Just as An Ning thought.

When the Shang king vigorously promoted the reform and clamored to reduce the vassal states, the vassal states began to resist.

When he wanted to promote poor families and implement the imperial examination system, Chaoge's aristocratic families also began to resist.

Queen Jiang in the harem was always very scared. She didn't know when Concubine Su would deal with her. After waiting, she didn't see any abnormal movements in Concubine Su.

Then, Queen Jiang learned about the previous dynasty, knew that the Shang King wanted to reduce the vassal states, and knew that he wanted to implement the imperial examination system.

At this moment, Queen Jiang seemed to understand something.

She knew that if this was noisy, the Shang Dynasty would be in danger.

However, she did not dare to tell the King of Shang, and she did not dare to go to Feng An'an.

She was really scared.

Jiang Ziya couldn't sit still.

He also heard about these things. He thought it was a monster that was a monster that wanted to shake the foundation of the Shang Dynasty and rushed to the palace to eliminate monsters.

An Ning stopped him halfway.

"Fellow Taoist, wait a moment."

Jiang Ziya looked at An Ning with great angrily: "Fellow Daoist Hu, what do you mean? Your sister slandered the king and wanted to shake the foundation of the court. You didn't even stop me, but you still wanted to stop me?"

An Ning pulled Jiang Ziya outside Chaoge.

She found a quiet place and asked Jiang Ziya with a smile: "Have my sister ever killed someone?"

Jiang Ziya shook her head: "Never."

"Have she ever done trouble? Has she ever harmed anyone? Has she ever provoked disputes in the harem?"

An Ning asked with a smile.

Jiang Ziya was stunned for a while: "Never."

An Ning clapped her hands and said, "Isn't that all? My sister doesn't say she's murdered, she hasn't even killed insects. She is now vegetarian in the harem. You said, my sister has no sins, why do you kill her?"

Jiang Ziya's face changed after asking in one sentence.

"Everything in this world is equal. The human race is the creatures in the world. Is it not right for our demon race? My sister has never done anything weird or harmed anyone, so no one can deprive her of life."

An Ning looked straight at Jiang Ziya with a serious look.

Jiang Ziya frowned: "But she did this..."

An Ning waved his hand: "I'll ask you, if the vassals are successfully reduced, the world will be changed to a county system and the land will be given to the people. Will this matter make the people richer and the court stronger?"

Even if Jiang Ziya didn't want to admit it, it was the fact, so he nodded.

An Ning asked again: "If the power of the noble family is weakened and the imperial examination system is carried out, will the people in the world be more fair and will give poor families a fair way to make progress?"

Jiang Ziya nodded again: "Yes."

An Ning smiled: "Then, what's wrong with my sister? What's wrong with the king? They are all in mind to make the people live better. They are not wrong. The ones who want to resist the court are wrong. If the princes are more noble than the court, they should accept the reduction of the vassals. If the court officials are loyal to the court, they should enter the official career with the imperial examinations just like the people in the world. If they can all be loyal to the duties and be able to serve the country, then what's wrong? It is clear that the princes and aristocratic families are not loyal to the emperor and patriotism. However, fellow Taoist Jiang did not go to them and talked to them, and insisted on my sister, who is dedicated to the country and the people. Fellow Taoist Jiang, is your fair heart?"

An Ning was so erect and Jiang Ziya was speechless after saying a few words.

He actually felt that he could not argue with An Ning at all.

An Ning said it.

The Shang King promoted reforms to the sake of the family, country and the world, and to make the people of the world live a better life.

Even a person who practices Taoism can know that if the reform is successful, the lives of the people will definitely get better and better day by day, and the foundation of the court will be more stable.

He knew that, then, the princely families must also know it.

However, they actually opposed the reform for their own sake, which shows that they were the ones who were wrong.

But he didn't look for the wrong person, but he wanted to find a weak woman to beat and kill. What is his mentality?

Isn’t this just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong?

Jiang Ziya felt more ashamed the more he thought about it. He blushed and bowed to An Ning: "Fellow Daoist Hu, I was wrong, I..."

An Ning smiled and waved her hand: "Fellow Daoist Jiang is so serious. I know that you are also thinking about serving the country and the people. Your heart is good, but I just think badly for the moment, and now I think about it."

Jiang Ziya was even more ashamed.

He said to An Ning: "I will talk about this with other senior brothers, and I will also let them not misunderstand Fellow Hu's sister."

Jiang Ziya really did what he said, and within a few days he sent a message to his senior brothers.

Then, no one of the members of the Chan Sect who originally wanted to intervene, went down the mountain to intervene in this matter.
