Zhao Ding also sat aside with his mouth agape.

He didn't expect it anyway.

Zhang Shiwei, who is always elegant, actually still has this side.

This is no way to claim to be Qingliu.

This is a proper old angry young man.

If he gets angry, he will almost scold all his ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Master Zhang, what you said is too much. We just don't agree with what you said, Master. Why do we need to say these things? We accept the order of Heaven and serve as herdsmen for the Emperor. It is the duty of the sons of my noble clan. Why bother? Do you have to go online?

If it's what you say.

Then what you mean is that we nobles are no different from those traffickers and pawns. Since they are no different, is your Majesty also no different from those traffickers and pawns? "

Right now.

Sitting on Zhang Shiwei's left side, the old master who had never spoken stood up and spoke leisurely.

"Hey, Master Zhou, you finally can't bear it anymore."

Seeing the old man with white hair and beard speak, Zhang Shiwei grinned.

There didn't seem to be any surprise in his words.

"Master Zhang's words are a bit exaggerated. What do you mean that I finally couldn't bear it anymore? I'm just talking about the matter. How can I be able to bear it and say it?"

The old man whom Zhang Shiwei called Mr. Zhou said with a smile.

Zhao Ding glanced at this man.

The figure of Zhou Shan, the official minister of the dynasty, suddenly appeared in his heart.

Zhou Xing.

The second person in the Zhou family.

The Zhou family is also one of the top civil servant families in Daqian.

In the two hundred years since the founding of the country, Daqian has been known as the Four Generations and Three Dukes.

The two brothers controlled the Ministry of Civil Affairs, where officials were appointed and dismissed, and the Imperial College, where officials were trained for the future.

One can imagine the power of the Zhou family in Daqian.

By the way, Zhao Ding seemed to understand his father's situation.

It is indeed a bit difficult.

Such a key position was placed in any centralized empire in the previous life. No monarch would allow one family to control such a key department at the same time.

Then look at Zhang Shiwei.

Zhao Ding seemed to understand.

There are checks and balances in the court, and there are checks and balances in this Imperial College.

From this point of view, his cheap father's purpose in throwing him to the Imperial College seemed not simple.

Watching Zhou Xing speak.

Zhang Shiwei was not as angry as before, but looked at Zhou Xing calmly and said, "What do you think, Master Zhou?"

"Of course it is following Xi's current move. Since you are a supervisor of the Imperial College, you should naturally take studying as your own responsibility. As for the farming, you can just leave it to the farmers. As the saying goes, each man should follow his own way. There are things that the nobles should do, and the common people should do what the common people should do."

Zhou Xing said calmly.

It was as if the previous tension did not exist at all.

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Ding and said with a smile: "Prince Yan, your suggestion is naturally excellent, but Prince Yan, after all, you are still young and don't understand the meaning of this. Some things just go as they come." Okay, don’t force it.”

Hey, this is all on my head.

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Zhao Ding glanced sideways at the old man in front of him, whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of the official minister of the dynasty.

These words sounded quite polite, but in fact they were warning him Zhao Ding.

Don't destroy the current structure of the Daqian gentry.

Don't be like Zhang Shiwei, who has a lot of talent to learn, but cannot tolerate the current bureaucracy.

Excuse me.

I am Zhao Ding.

He's the kind of person who doesn't listen to warnings.

Zhao Ding grinned and said: "Well, what Master Zhou said is reasonable. I also think what Master Zhou said is quite reasonable. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are originally four different classes. I am a cadre who is the scholar first, and the farmer is the second. There are three craftsmen, and merchants are the lowest. This is the rule set by Taizu.

Naturally, I and other descendants should not violate the iron law set by Taizu and his elders. "

"It would be great if Prince Yan could understand."

Zhou Xing looked at Zhao Dingdao with a smile.

His words were quite gentle and not aggressive at all.

After saying this, Zhou Xing looked at Zhang Shiwei again and said: "Master Zhang, you also heard what Prince Yan said. It's better to end this matter here. Don't continue to mess around. If you insist on going your own way, I will Your Majesty has made the final decision."

"you......"

Hearing Zhou Xing's words, Zhang Shiwei was choked up.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Zhao Ding had stood up, looked at Zhang Shiwei, cupped his hands and said, "Master, let me come and talk to Master Zhou."

"Oh, okay."

Zhang Shiwei let out a long sigh, opened his mouth and did not continue speaking.

Zhou Xing looked at Zhao Ding with interest: "Oh, I wonder what Prince Yan has to teach you?"

Looking at Zhou Xing's hypocritical face, Zhao Ding let out a sigh in his heart.

This is not Youzhou. If it were in Youzhou, I would blow your head off!

Zhao Ding asked with a smile: "Then Master, what do you think is the foundation for my great cadres to establish the country? What is the foundation for my great cadres to continue?"

"Of course..."

Zhou Xing spoke subconsciously.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Ding raising his hand: "Master, needless to say, I naturally understand that in the eyes of Master, the foundation of our country is the gentry, and the people are just the dependence of the gentry. That's all, it's because of the rewards from you nobles that the common people can live.

Without a wealthy family like Master Zhou, the common people would not be able to survive. "

"Prince Yan, I didn't say that, please don't put your hat on me."

Upon hearing Zhao Ding's words, Zhou Xing's eyelids jumped immediately and he hurriedly defended himself.

Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to admit it with his mouth.

After all, Daqian belongs to the Zhao family, and wealthy families like the Zhou family are the ones who take care of the world for the Zhao family.

"There's none?"

Zhao Ding looked at Zhou Xing pretending to be surprised, then slapped his forehead and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, I have wrongly blamed Master Zhou. Master means that the nobles are serving the royal family of Da Gan, and I am Da Gan." The royal family is the emperor of this land. They inherit the destiny of heaven, shepherd all the people, and exercise the power to control the life and death of all living beings. After all, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.

The noble clan that Master Zhou belongs to serves our royal family, so it is equivalent to indirectly inheriting the destiny of heaven, and therefore exercising the responsibility of herdsmen on behalf of the emperor.

right. "

Zhao Ding asked.

Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Zhang Shiwei raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Listening to Zhao Ding's words, Zhou Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

He stroked his beard and nodded slightly. As he spoke, he cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said, "This is just for me to gain His Majesty's trust."

hypocrite.

Zhao Xinxin snorted, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Actually, I also agree with what Master said, and it is indeed the case. If it weren't for me, Taizu Daqian, who inherited the destiny of heaven and became the son of heaven, what would happen? Being able to rule all the people and dominate the nine states has laid the foundation for my two-hundred-year-old career, and that’s why I have such a great career."

Listening to Zhao Ding's words, many great scholars present also nodded slightly.

There is nothing wrong with what Zhao Ding said.

Daqian was indeed defeated by Taizu's soldiers and horses.

But Zhang Shiwei was the only one who frowned.

For a moment, he couldn't see clearly what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Ding's gourd.

Zhao Ding continued with a smile in his voice: "As the masters said, the scholars, farmers, industry and merchants all go their own way. The nobles are responsible for governing the people and governing the people, while the common people take care of the land and provide for the nobles. This is the way of heaven and what God has decreed. .”

But at this point, Zhao Ding changed his voice and said: "But I remember that before the rebellion of my family, Taizu, he seemed to be a first-class citizen, a cowherd boy in the mountains. Because the previous dynasty was stupid, he rebelled and overthrew the previous dynasty. Chaojiu system.

If we follow what you have just said, does that mean that I, my masters, Gao Chengtian, will also accept the order and rule my Zhao family in place of the previous dynasty?

In this way, this world should belong to the noble clans where you are a master, not the Zhao family where I am. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present raised their eyebrows and their eyelids jumped.
