After a deep conversation with Zu Yi, Gao Wei finally found a clear route from a chaotic thought. Sure enough, the truth is that the more he argues, the clearer he becomes. If he blindly paranoid and stubbornness can only lead to the end of the quagmire.

The demise of any dynasty makes sense, and it cannot be summarized by a short sentence: "If you don't practice virtues and politics, you will be foolish and ignorant, and you will be as peaceful as a martial arts." He finally understood where his uneasiness came from recently:

The corruption of society and the decline of the country are ultimately caused by internal contradictions... Why do the people rebel? Why do the country fall into turmoil? In the final analysis, isn't it because of the solidification of the entire society's class, most of the resources are squeezed out, and the entire country is filled with a sense of death?

When the people begin to feel that their rise channels are too narrow and their living standards decline, they will feel a sense of despair, and the country will become shaky. Once they cannot even solve the minimum problem of food and clothing, they will also be exploited by the officials and landlords. If they are forced to sell their children and daughters, they will rise up!

In essence, history is a cycle of reincarnation, and the same routine has been replaced by different skins and repeated performances on this stage.

Now the future of a prosperous dynasty has spread out before our eyes.

Gao Wei can now lie on the credit book, waiting to win.

Looking around the world, the Zhou Kingdom is like a dry bone in a tomb, the Chen Kingdom is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and Tuyuhun is not worth mentioning. The Khitan tribes are like cattle and horses. Even the Turks, which were once prosperous, are now fighting in internal struggles... Tuobo Khan is worried that the Turkic territory is too large, so he even enfeoffed Khans of all sizes. It is extremely short-sighted and ignorant. Even though the Turks claim to be controlling hundreds of thousands of strings, they are no different from the chickens and dogs who put on the mark and sell their heads in Gao Wei's eyes.

Sooner or later, they will be cleaned up one by one!

Gao Wei now has a sense of invincibility.

But this and that contradiction has been clearly placed before Gao Wei. If Gao Wei ignores it, after Gao Wei for three generations, although the country will maintain the illusion of prosperity and Gao Wei will win the reputation of the king who will unify the times, that's all. In history, he will definitely not be higher than Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian.

If he spends his time solving - without talking about solving it, it is impossible - at least, he still has a long way to go to improve it, make the foundation of the country stronger, and let the "Three Hundred Years of Curse" be broken.

The essence of the whole world is a fish pond. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, shrimps are eaten by fish, big fish are weak, and sometimes they are eaten by shrimps. To put it bluntly, they are just leeks!

Zu Yi said a lot of pertinent things, but there were some things that made Gao Wei secretly disliked.

In Zu Feng's words, the aristocratic family and the powerful family are strong, which cannot be shaken by just three or two government orders. There is also a vague intention of persuading the emperor to stop and enjoy the prosperous dynasty in it... Gao Wei heard some signs:

It’s not that Zu Yi is not loyal enough, but that the emperor’s goal is too great, which makes Zu Yi feel afraid!

Gao Wei even had a vague guess for a moment: Is it because Zu Yi also came from the gentry that his butt was also tilted to that side?

He can't blame him for random speculation. Sitting on the dragon throne is a beast of power. He is full of vigilance against any group capable of resisting the will of the imperial power. It is important to know that if there is interests, there will be entanglements, and there will be people who will gather together to keep warm.

Now Gao Wei has noticed that the class has begun to solidify, and some "knowledgeable people" are gradually reaching a consensus to achieve the common goal of the scholars and officials, let history return to the familiar trajectory, and share the world with the emperor.

The reason is also very sufficient. The emperor is governing the world with scholars and officials, either with the people. The emperor's obligation is to stabilize the world and not let the foundation of this "stable and orderly" social foundation be shaken!

Gao Wei understood that this was not a problem that could be solved with a knife. Before, he weakened the Xianbei military personnel and did not have any major chaos. It was because after a long period of national integration, except for a few hard-working officials, most of them were not in conflict with the Chinese reform. What they lost was military power, and Gao Wei also brought benefits to them from other places, which was considered compensation.

But this time, what Gao Wei wants to move is the land, the fundamental interests of the aristocratic families, and the powerful people. In other words, this wants their lives. How can they not resist? How can they have no objection? Where should Gao Wei find supplies to them? Wouldn't they rebel?

This can not be solved by the power struggle of "striking one faction to fight one faction, isolating one faction".

If Gao Wei dares to do this, the huge empire will be dispersed overnight and collapse!

Even though Gao Wei has always been consciously or unintentionally, in the small peasant economy and society, the people's strength is too small, and the children from poor families are too weak. They may be useful in the future, but at this time, it is not enough to attract support.

So... the land needs to be changed, but not major changes, the system needs to be changed, but not major changes. Everything must follow the rules and make it look like the natural evolution of systems of different dynasties.

It's helpless, but this is reality.

Perhaps in some novels and TV, the emperor wants to be in a good position and do everything.

But one thing to understand is that the emperor's power is determined by the social framework of the feudal era. Within the rules of this framework, no one can stop him from doing anything. But if he wants to break this framework on a whim, no matter whether he can do it or not, once he does it, he will be self-severing!

Gao Wei does not do such stupid things. But he demands change, newness, and constantly pursues a path that is more beneficial to the country and the people.

He can't do it alone, he needs a capable comrade-in-arms.

Zu Yi was so old that he was about to enter the coffin, and his courage gradually faded. Like most old ministers, he began to become conservative and content with the status quo. Such a prime minister could not help him achieve the great cause of helping the world.

He needs a younger, more responsible and fearless prime minister!

The conversation ended in a bad mood. Although the emperor never showed any dissatisfaction, Zu Yi, who had assisted the emperor for many years, still faintly noticed the change in His Majesty's mentality and began to worry. Until dusk, Zu Yi's family invited Zu Yi to dinner. Zu Yi shook his head and said, "I won't eat anymore, bring paper and pen. I want to submit a message to resign and go back to my hometown."

The family was shocked and hurriedly asked about the reason. Zu Yi sighed and said:

"I am so old now. I can't live for a few days and the center is so busy. It's not possible to not be suppressed by the Prime Minister... Although Your Majesty doesn't mind my position and I should consider it more for the court, so that's it."

Zu Yi asked his family to take the lamp, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the pen and wrote it on the rice paper... In fact, his heart was far less peaceful than what he was on the surface: His Majesty’s unification of the world is a foregone conclusion, and there is no possibility of repeated repetition. Now the emperor is invincible in the world, and he feels like he is hard to find an opponent. However, the war is over, and the country has no spare energy to start another battle. He can only focus on internal affairs and look at the court...

"well……"

Zu Qi sighed deeply, and under the dim candlelight, his hunched back lowered a little.

Some people are in trouble!

That night, Zu Qiong submitted a letter to resign, but the emperor refused. Three days later, Zu Qiong submitted a letter to resign again, but the emperor still refused. Four days later, Zu Qiong submitted a letter to resign for the third time. Seeing that the emperor tried to keep it again and again, he had to allow it. Zu Qiong was granted the title of Duke of Yan County, granted 300 acres of land, and countless treasures...

Not to mention that the position of the right prime minister was finally vacant, how to fight openly and secretly, before everyone could recover, during the morning court, Gao Yang immediately made a fuss about a memorial: "...The court reformed that day, only in Hebei, Hedong, Huaibei and other places with rich hearts, and failed to promote the whole country. Now that the north is unified, the country cannot follow its own examples. There must be a unified constitution. Please check the household registration again, promote the equal land law and the village chief system throughout the country... In addition, according to reports from many places: 'When the government was in power, the land was first given to people, and the powerful and the wealthy were all good, and the poor and weak were all barren.' Please also investigate thoroughly and abolish the bad policies!"

At this time, the sunlight came out and shone in the hall slanted. Gao Feng walked out with the memorial with his memorials. The style of the court officials was suppressed by him!

Not to mention how a large number of people were stunned when they heard the content of the memorial. Many ministers who had a central position gradually came to their senses. The eyes of Gao Yang could not hide their horror, as if they were looking at a madman.

This person...has he crazy about being the right prime minister?

Is he going to be an isolated minister and to be a slaughter in the court?!

Everyone was shocked by this person's remarks and couldn't speak for a while, but some inexplicable anger was quietly brewing in their hearts. The look was like saying, "There was a traitor between us!"

The sun was very warm, and it was not dazzling on the dragon couch. On the throne, the emperor could not hide his shock, but was quickly replaced by caution. A curtain of beads in front of the emperor's crown covered the emperor's expression, making people unable to see it clearly... Gao Wei looked at Gao Yang for a while, then sighed with emotion, raised his hand and pointed at Gao Yang and said, "Come on."

This sigh seemed helpless, and more like a sigh of relief. Nothing else, just for Gao Yang's heart for the country and the people, and for the ancestors, he was very pleased to see that someone could take over the power and take on the responsibility!

If he was still swaying among all the candidates before, then this morning morning, the moment Gao Yang stood up, undoubtedly wiped out the emperor's concerns, and from then on, the right prime minister's successor will no longer have him to choose!

Gao Wei finally felt relieved for a moment. He found a more comfortable position, supported his elbow on the handrail of the dragon couch, and silently flipped the memorial... The hall was silent, and everyone stopped talking, as if waiting for a judgment!
Chapter completed!
