The first court meeting of the Dalu Dynasty had a complicated process and gratifying results.
The process is complicated because the etiquette of this court meeting is complicated.
This was not so much a court meeting as another grand ceremony.
The number of civilians and military officers participating reached more than 10,000.
Everyone was dressed up to attend, and the whole process was solemn and solemn, and they were attentive.
The court meeting started at the fourth quarter of the twelfth lunar month, which is around six o'clock in the morning.
By the time this complicated etiquette process was over, it was already three o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, the civil and military officers of this era all had good martial arts and martial arts skills.
The Dalu Dynasty had only been built for less than a day, and there was not even a single person connected with him in the imperial court. His martial virtues were extremely rich, and his physical fitness was extremely strong.
Although they had stood in the hall for several hours, they didn't have to worry about being able to hold back their excrement or urine.
At five o'clock in the morning, the court meeting had just reached its climax.
Chu Xisheng ordered Jian Zangfeng to read out the "Dalu Gao" and "Accession Dafa" drafted by him and the cabinet to all officials participating in the court meeting.
These two edicts are very important.
The former can be understood as the constitution of the Dalu Dynasty, and the latter can be understood as the policy program, the ancient version of the five-year plan.
The word "Da Gao" means "Chen Da Dao to Gao the world".
In another era, Zhu Yuanzhang formulated the "Ming Gao".
In addition, when emperors of the past dynasties ascended the throne, they would also issue imperial edicts.
In the past, when Wu Zetian first came to power, she wrote to Tang Gaozong with the "Twelve Suggestions" and promulgated her political program to the whole world.
The Empress Dowager Feng of the Northern Wei Dynasty also formulated the "Eighteen Orders of the Empress Dowager" as her future policy agenda.
This court meeting in the Dalu Dynasty can be understood as the ancient meeting of the people.
Chu Xisheng needs to declare his political intentions to the officials under his rule and unify his thinking.
That's why he paid extra attention to this court meeting.
At this time, all the officials bowed their heads and frowned, listening quietly.
Chu Xisheng was looking at Jian Zangfeng.
He could feel a powerful force of heavenly power pulsing continuously inside and outside Jian Zangfeng's body.
Few people know that today's great court meeting is also a further step in Jian Zangfeng's 'secret ritual of regulating the sky'.
In addition to the core points of the "Dalu Gao" and the "Accession Dagao" released today, including equalizing land distribution, equalizing taxes, encouraging industry and commerce, and filling in borders with immigrants, most of the rest were formulated by Jian Zangfeng.
At this time, the heavenly rule named 'Guitian' was resonating strongly with Jian Zangfeng, and his breathing corresponded to it.
"Junior Brother Jian really has a bright future!"
Chu Yunyun, who was sitting in the back seat, had also been looking at Jian Zangfeng.
There was admiration in her eyes: "I think there is no problem for him to be promoted to the first rank. It is expected that it will be within the next two years. It is estimated that it will not be long before he can become the 'Guitian' saint."
The method of 'regulating the sky' was once a powerful force of heaven, but after the ninth generation of heavenly emperors, this law continued to decline.
Just because after that, there are no rules in the world.
Although Yang Shen Taihao has been the Emperor of Heaven for twelve million years, his authority in Heaven cannot be compared with that of the previous nine generations of Heavenly Emperors.
Heaven and earth are in a state of separatist rule by feudal lords and ceding territories for self-government.
So there are currently few experts on this path.
Therefore, it is relatively easy for Jian Zangfeng to become a 'Guitian' saint.
"It's early!"
Chu Xisheng raised his right hand to his mouth, covering his raised lips with the long sleeves of his broad robe: "Although the "Dalu Gao" and "The Emperor's Throne Gao" have been released, he wants to complete the complete secret ceremony. , no matter what, we must persist for eighteen hundred years to let these two imperial edicts be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
He also faced this problem in the past, and the secret ritual was tied to the Iron Banner Gang.
However, it only took a little more than a year for Chu Xisheng to jump out and expand the secret ritual to the entire world.
Jian Zangfeng's method of 'regulating the sky' is more difficult, I'm afraid it will be difficult to jump out.
Chu Yunyun blinked, and then laughed: "I think Junior Brother Jian jumped into the pit willingly, but I can't blame you."
This is undoubtedly a deep pit with no bottom!
In the next few hundred years, Jian Zangfeng may have to be bound to the Dalu Dynasty and these two imperial edicts.
——I didn’t expect that someone like Junior Brother Jian would be manipulated by Chu Xisheng. From now on, I will have to work for Chu Xisheng, and it will be difficult to escape.
However, Junior Brother Jian's gains are also huge. Once the secret ritual of Heaven Rules is completed, Jian Zangfeng will basically be able to secure his position as the Saint of Rulers of Heaven, and even go one step further.
So this was a conspiracy, and Chu Xisheng offered a bait that Jian Zangfeng couldn't refuse.
After the two imperial edicts were read out, a list of official positions followed.
Yesterday's founding ceremony was mainly about knighthood and the appointment of high-ranking civil and military officials of third rank and above. Today, it is about officials of third to seventh rank.
The meeting lasted for two hours before the meeting came to an end.
Chu Yunyun immediately changed into a suit of armor and fled towards Wang'an City.
Chu Xisheng looked outside the palace.
At this time, a group of officials wearing gorgeous court uniforms were filing out of the palace.
Their expressions are all different.
Some people were excited, some were frowning, some were thoughtful, and some were glowing. However, probably because they had just accepted their new positions, most of them were still happy.
Especially those officials who were determined to stay in Qinhuai and serve in the capital of Dalu Dynasty were all red-faced and particularly excited.
After leaving the palace, most of these ministers and generals did not leave.
They either stood together in groups of three or five, discussing today's two imperial edicts, or they gathered with friends and went to various restaurants to gather and drink together.
There was a hint of confusion in Chu Xisheng's eyes.
He has marked the way today.
If these ministers and generals cannot follow the path he has drawn, it is not his fault that his sword is too sharp.
He then turned his attention to his character panel.
After this court meeting is over, Chu Xisheng can turn his focus to his personal martial arts practice.
The general direction of national affairs has been set.
Next, he only needs to provide a strong backing to the cabinet ministers, and use the power of Jin Yiwei, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ouchi Tingtian Prison he is preparing to build to provide supervision.
Specific government affairs still have to be left to the cabinet and ministers.
He first looked at his wishing stone column.
After the battle at the Divine Tree of Creation, he had used more than three hundred wishing stones, all of which he had used on himself and his relatives and friends.
Even Jian Zangfeng didn't miss it.
At this time, there were still 1,620 wishing stones left in his character panel.
The number of Tianyuan Points reached an astonishing nine million.
In just ten days, the number of Tianyuan Points has been rising continuously.
There are more and more creatures in the world who know his reputation.
Chu Xisheng then opened the martial arts treasure house and invested hundreds of wishing stones and 100,000 Tianyuan points in the 'Heart of Divine Wishes'.
——Make a wish that within half a year, your understanding and spiritual wisdom will be maximized!
Next came another hundred, paired with one hundred thousand Tianyuan points.
——Wish that within half a year, the effect of strengthening your physical body and blood strength will be maximized.
In the end, there were still one hundred, paired with one hundred thousand Tianyuan points.
——Wish that within half a year, one's own soul will blend with the 'chaos' sky to the greatest extent.
His fundamental path is the method of 'chaos', which is the 'True Source of Chaos' of his condensed bloodline.
As long as the method of 'chaos' is improved, all other heavenly martial arts can benefit from it.
Chu Yunyun said that one wishing stone corresponds to ten days of understanding, which is the best value for money.
But now Chu Xisheng only wants to improve his strength to the greatest extent.
What he wants is the best improvement effect, and he doesn't care about the investment.
But at this moment, he heard a gentle and gentle voice, as clear and sweet as a wind chime, coming from outside the palace: "Bai Lingxi, the envoy of Cao Min Shan Meng, asks to see your Majesty!"
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this.
Bai Lingxi, the envoy of the Chanmen Order?
He opened his bloody eyes again and looked over following the sound.
Then he saw a woman in a white dress with bright eyes and white teeth, skin as smooth as gel, and a pure and pure temperament, standing outside the palace gate.
She pressed the sword with one hand and looked towards the palace.
When their eyes met, the woman in the white dress smiled slightly, revealing the two dimples on her cheeks. She was actually graceful and youthful.
She cupped her hands and said, "The common people are here for the eternal gods. I have something to discuss with your majesty. Please come and see me!"
Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
At that moment, his heart trembled slightly because of the beauty of the woman in white. Qi and blood surged in his body, and he had some thoughts about men and women.
Chu Xisheng was surprised.
Not only does he now have three of the most talented and beautiful beauties in the world, but he also has several subordinates and friends around him who are also extremely beautiful and beautiful.
Normally speaking, it would be difficult for him to dare to tempt any female inside or outside the mortal world, even the so-called stunning beauty.
But at this moment, Chu Xisheng's Taoist heart still endured a huge test.
At this moment, Chu Xisheng's expression suddenly changed.
He felt that the 'chaos' heavenly rules around him were pulsing strongly.
For some unknown reason, his 'Chaos' secret ritual has made some progress.
※※※※
At the same time, in a restaurant facing the river in the north of Qinhuai City.
Ding Cansheng, the second minister of the Dalu Dynasty's cabinet, was on the top floor of the restaurant, drinking and talking with his subordinates, disciples, students, and township party members who were born in Bingzhou.
There were hundreds of officials on the entire floor, as well as numerous Confucian celebrities, and wealthy people from all over the country gathered together, drinking and drinking together, and it was very lively.
Ding people are actually impatient with this kind of social interaction. However, in life, it is inevitable to be polite and reciprocal.
If he wanted to gain power in the court and implement his will at the grassroots level, he had to unite everyone and had to rely on the power of his disciples and fellow township party members.
In addition, he also shouldered the mission of using this banquet of wine to convey His Majesty's intentions clearly to the powerful people in these places and the countryside.
Ding Cangsheng remained silent most of the time, only smiling and drinking, listening to the discussions of many officials and scribes in the restaurant.
What they said was exactly the two imperial edicts that had just been issued by the Dalu Dynasty.
One of them was sighing: "I still haven't been able to convince His Majesty to give up. The land equalization issue is included in the imperial edict, and there will be big trouble in the future."
"Your Majesty is really too harsh on our family. Not only can't we get tax exemption, but we can't have more than 100 acres of land. If it exceeds, we will be levied heavy taxes. There is also the 'Junhu Order' that allows all direct heirs to divide the family property. This is clearly a break. The roots of our family! However, Your Majesty has forgotten that it is precisely because of the existence of the family that the court can compete with the sect."
"However, as soon as this order is issued, the sect will be respected from now on. Those sects will probably want to celebrate with their crowns. You are in the temple, please give more advice to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty wants to select twelve sects as the 'Holy Selected National Sect' and thirty-six other sects as the 'Zhengxuan National Sect' to be responsible for the civil affairs, martial arts and martial arts teaching of the people in the thirty-nine states in the world. This is simply ridiculous. , doesn’t it make the sect more powerful?”
Ding Cansheng was not only a famous Confucian in the world, but also the head of the Taiyuan Ding clan, one of the world's powerful clans.
Almost without exception, the people who complained were all prominent aristocratic families in Bingzhou.
However, the reason why Ding Cansheng was valued by Chu Xisheng and became the second minister of the Dalu Dynasty's cabinet was definitely not because of his status as the imperial tutor of the previous dynasty.
Most of his disciples who served as officials in the Dalu Dynasty disagreed with this statement.
"You are overly worried. Your Majesty is not only attacking aristocratic families, but also eliminating the troubles of sects. From now on, all martial arts halls in the world will be set up by the government and will be renamed as schools and will not be privately owned. Dalu is fifteen People under the age of 10 can enter the school without taking any entrance examination, and students can choose different sects to inherit and practice according to their interests.
His Majesty also ordered the school to provide free room and board for all students for three years. If you have outstanding talent in martial arts and magic, you will be given certain subsidies. This method not only benefits the common people, but also benefits practitioners all over the world and wins the hearts of warriors all over the world. In this way, we can truly educate talents for the country, and will not let the martial arts become the private property of the sect after they have achieved success. "
"Only the money consumption is a bit large. Although the land tax can greatly increase the financial resources, I'm afraid it won't be able to plug this hole."
"Don't be afraid. Your Majesty wants to send people to the medicinal fields and minerals all over the world to supervise the output and collect taxes. This will not only control the financial resources of the sect, but also greatly increase the wealth of the imperial court."
"Twelve 'Holy Selected Guozong', thirty-six 'Mainly Selected Guozong', seventy-two 'Deputy Selected Guozong', and numerous 'Candidate Guozong'. They all need long-term training for the imperial court. For a certain number of talents, those who cannot meet the standards will be downgraded, subsidies will be cut, and medicinal fields will be reduced. The capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted. We are not afraid that these sects will not be able to contribute their efforts."
"Your Majesty is different from Taizu Taizu of Daning. The founding emperors of all dynasties wanted to ban martial arts, but your Majesty wished that the martial arts of the people under his rule would be as strong as possible."
"Anyway, let's give it a try first. Your Majesty said, if there are any flaws in these policies, then change them again."
"Ha! If these laws in the imperial edict were placed in the previous dynasties, I am afraid that the world would rebel. Only today, His Majesty's martial arts are superb, and one person can subdue the world with one sword, and can defeat the gods, can it be enforced . Your Majesty doesn’t care whether there is rebellion or not. If you dare to rebel, you will be beheaded!"
When Ding Cangsheng heard this, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he drank all the wine in the cup with great satisfaction.
At this time, opposite him, a gray-haired old man suddenly looked at him with burning eyes: "Cang Sheng, you have been in contact with His Majesty for more than ten days. I want to know, what do you think of His Majesty?"
Ding Cangsheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
There are more than a hundred officials, big and small, in this restaurant. However, those who were qualified to sit at the same table with him were all second- and third-rank officials and Confucian celebrities of the current dynasty.
The gray-haired old man in front of him, whose surname is Yu Mingfuzi, is a Confucian elder with the same name as him in Bingzhou.
Ding Cangsheng immediately laughed loudly: "Your Majesty is a benevolent king!"
The gray-haired old man was slightly surprised, and he frowned: "Since your Majesty's rise, you have killed countless giant spirits, and the martial arts cultivators and Daning soldiers who died at his hands have exceeded one hundred thousand.
His nature is so ruthless that it has never been seen in ancient times, and his reputation for evil is known throughout the world, both inside and outside the world. Nowadays, we are introducing harsh policies, using force to seize the wealth of wealthy families, and using swords to enforce the policy of dividing land. Can this be benevolent? "
"Your Majesty is cruel and ruthless to his enemies, yet he loves the people under his rule like his own children. He is a tyrant on the outside but a king on the inside. How can he not be called benevolent?"
Ding Cangsheng shook his head slightly, with a cold light in his eyes: "Your Majesty has never usurped the wealth of the people. In the past, there were some local powerful families in the south of the Yangtze River that were destroyed by His Majesty's troops. However, these people did not know the fate of the days and stubbornly resisted His Majesty's power. Your Majesty. Collecting their wealth and dividing their fields, isn’t it a natural and right thing to do?
After your Majesty separated the ten states, he even used laws and taxes to persuade. If the people can't pay taxes, they just sell their land. How can there be any talk of robbery? As for the strategy of dividing the land, Mr. Yu should know that land annexation is the biggest problem in history.
Since Emperor Xuanhuang, countless dynasties have been destroyed by mergers. At the end of every dynasty, there are always fields for the rich, and the poor have no place to stand. The people were forced to a desperate situation, and they even wanted to join the devil's ways and rise up to fight against the imperial court. In this world, from rule to chaos, from chaos to rule, it's like reincarnation. "
Ding Cangsheng was quite contemptuous of Master Yu, who was as famous as him.
Don’t you know what time it is now?
Zangtian is about to be possessed by the devil, and the human race in China is about to perish!
Your Majesty now clearly wants to use policies such as equalizing farmland and equalizing taxes to gather the hearts of the people in the world and thereby confront the gods.
Even if they, the Confucian scholars, do not give full support, they cannot stubbornly resist and stop it.
The person in front of me is in the countryside and has little information. He may not know the shocking secret of Zangtian becoming a demon.
However, the disaster of annexation was deeply feared by Confucian scholars and officials in the past dynasties and wanted to be solved.
This made Ding Cangsheng feel disgusted.
Doesn't this person know that every time a dynasty rises, it is a disaster for their family?
They say a dynasty lasts for thousands of years, and a family lasts for ten thousand years.
However, countless families have perished throughout the ages, and most of their descendants ended up in a miserable state.
Even their Taiyuan Ding clan only has a history of seven thousand years.
"You are all well-educated people here. Don't you know that equalizing farmland and equalizing taxes are the founding policies of all dynasties? Your Majesty is just making slight improvements in order to achieve long-term peace and stability. You all know whether the policy is good or bad."
Ding Cangsheng knew why Master Yu and some of the people behind him were so resistant to His Majesty's political strategy.
Because of the progressive taxation method based on the amount of land and the Junhu Order, it was truly an unprecedented policy in the world.
In the eyes of many people, this indeed broke the foundation for the existence of powerful families in the world.
If it had been another emperor, the local area would have been at war with rebels everywhere.
Even if you don't rebel, you can still use various methods to interfere, delay, delay, or even distort and change the face, and finally let it go.
However, their Majesty not only has 20 million soldiers in the world, but also has unrivaled military force in the world.
No one in China has the power to resist whatever political strategy he wants to implement.
Crucially, His Majesty also wrote his decrees into the "Dalu Gao" as a program for governing the country.
This made it very difficult for future emperors of the Dalu Dynasty to overthrow them.
Ding Cangsheng put down his wine glass, and his tone became a little colder: "The law was drawn up by your majesty personally, and there is no room for disobedience. You know that your majesty is cruel to the enemy, so you should know the consequences of stubbornly resisting the power of heaven. Dalu Criminal Law , it is designed for rebellious ministers and traitors.”
Seeing that everyone at the wine table was silent, the more than twenty seats around him gradually became lonely.
Ding Cangsheng calmed down again, and a smile appeared on his face: "Besides, Your Majesty has no intention of exterminating all the families. Although there are no fields, there are still workshops, shops, minerals and various industries. This is not what Your Majesty is doing. Encouraged? It can still make money, and it can be passed on to future generations, so that they can have food and clothing without worries.
The Junhu Order is indeed a trouble, which will make all the disciples feel distracted. However, His Majesty's establishment of the 'Holy Selected National Sect' and the 'Mainly Selected National Sect', etc., is not limited to sects. If aristocratic families have the ambition to inherit the martial arts of their predecessors, they can also be selected into the list of national sects. Our descendants have the regeneration of blood left by their predecessors. Will their future prospects be any worse? "
When he finished speaking, the heads of several Bingzhou aristocratic families at the wine table couldn't help but look at him in deep contemplation.
