Tu Su entered the Yeling Mansion. From then on, he became the new Yeling of Yedi, managing the people of Yedi. Tu Su stood in front of the palace gate and said: "Take these officials involved in the case to the execution ground."
The prison door opened, and some of the local officials involved in the case, including Jiu Yeling, walked out of the prison and looked up at the blue sky and white sun. These officials were put into prison cars and paraded through the streets, attracting many people to watch, shouting: "Oh God! You finally opened your eyes. Look, look at the fate of these corrupt officials." The people suffered at the hands of these officials. Okay, throw eggs and vegetable leaves at the criminals in the prison car. They will be recorded in the history books and will be infamy for thousands of years. Some criminal officials such as Jiu Yeling were taken to the execution ground. The people who were watching cursed them more and wanted to eat their flesh, eat their blood, knock their bones, suck their marrow, sleep on their skin, and pluck their hair. His hatred has reached its extreme. Xinye Ling walked up and sat in front of the desk, took out his token and threw it out, saying: "Behead." The knife and ax fell, and blood splashed out, staining the execution ground. The people who were watching applauded and knelt down together and shouted: "Kowtow to the great master Qingtian." Tu Su stood up and raised his hands, saying: "This is the wisdom of the king." The people kowtowed to the north and shouted: "My king will live forever."
Tu Su saw Anyanghou crowding among the people to watch the execution. Tu Su stepped down and stood in front of Anyang Marquis, kowtowed and said, "Sir." Anyang Marquis faced Tu Su and said, "Don't forget, this world is shared with the scholars, not with the common people. Please tell you. The prime minister of the country, please tell him not to kill all these old ministers. Their ancestors have served me for generations. The ancestors of Wei have served us for generations. Their ancestors have accumulated shady virtues, which is why they have today's prominent position. You can do it for yourself." After saying this, he turned and left. Go and walk away without looking back. Tu Su looked at Anyang Hou's leaving figure, knelt down and said, "Sir."
Ye Ling almost killed all the corrupt officials in Ye area, which resulted in vacancies and blocked government orders. The assessment of officials was the most important issue in the Wei state, and memorials were sent to the court. The King of Wei was also worried about this matter and asked: "There are vacancies among the officials in Ye. Come and have a look, Prime Minister. Are there any officials who can fill the vacancies?" Then he looked at the ministers in court. These are very important. It was obvious that he was used to being pampered and no one wanted to go to Yedi. They want to see how Prime Minister Zisang steps down? The Prime Minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you can issue a recruitment order to the whole country to promote young talents to serve the country. The talented people from other vassal states will come to join us." An old minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it. This will turn our Wei State upside down. If scholars from other vassal states come and sing with Zisang, then our Wei State will be in chaos. Your Majesty, our Wei State cannot continue to be in chaos." The Prime Minister looked at him. The old minister said: "I think Dr. Zhu is willing to take up a post in Yedi." The old minister said: "The vacancy in Yedi was entirely caused by you. Your decree killed all the officials in Yedi. Why? Do you want me to fill this vacancy? The Prime Minister is really good at joking." The Prime Minister looked at these old ministers and said: "You ministers rely on the merits of your ancestors to receive titles forever. You spend all your time pampering yourself and don't think about serving the country. You said you stand on What else can you do in the court?" The old minister angrily began to use vulgar words and said, "Zisang, you, you..., who do you think you are?" Then he faced the King of Wei and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister dares to insult me. Wait, you have to make the decision for me!" The other veterans accused the Prime Minister, saying: "Zisang, you are just for reform. Now there is a river of blood in Ye, and many officials are complaining about you. What on earth are you doing? What do you want to do? Are you willing to give up only if you want to stir up the wrath of heaven and the hatred of insects?" Xiang Guo angrily pointed at these old ministers and said: "What do you want to do? In order to maintain your position above the court, you have blocked my reform several times. , is it tolerable or intolerable?" These veterans walked up together, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me and other veterans! Drive Zisang out of the Wei Kingdom." The other veterans and nobles shouted together: "Yes. ! Drive Zi Sang out of Wei." These old ministers were so incompatible with the Prime Minister in the court that they began to quarrel. The Prime Minister knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, these old ministers, relying on the merits of their ancestors, treat the decrees promulgated by Zisang like child's play. They cover the sky with one hand above the court. Are they trying to disrupt the laws of our Kingdom of Wei? Your Majesty, these old ministers are like child's play." The minister cannot stay!"
King Wei looked at them, he had no idea in his mind, and said: "Okay, you guys don't argue anymore. What's the point of fighting with each other?" Then he looked at Zi Sang and said, "About the recruitment order. Let the Prime Minister go down and draft it." Zi Sang stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do." The King of Wei asked again, "What else is there to do?" Zi Sang replied, "The King needs to build a building in the capital to recruit talents. The museum is for the placement of the world's most learned people." King Wei said: "Okay, let's do it according to the wishes of the Prime Minister. The construction of the recruitment hall can be started, and the matter will be handed over to the general as the supervisor to complete." The general will be the supervisor. Debuted: "I accept the order." King Wei asked again: "I don't know how long it will take to complete the recruitment hall?" The general supervisor said: "Using the labor of the country, it will take at least three months to complete. "The king of Wei said: "Three months is too long. Can it be completed within one month?" The general supervisor said: "It can be done." The king of Wei said: "The general supervisor can draw a drawing after he goes back and submit it to the Prime Minister's Mansion. "The general prisoner knelt down and said, "I will resign now." Then he left the court. Zi Sang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the draft of the recruitment order has been completed. I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at it." The King of Wei sat in front of several cases and said, "Send it over." Zi Sang took out the bamboo slip and presented it. King Wei took it and opened the bamboo slips with a faint smile on his face. After reading it, he looked at Zi Sang and said, "It seems that the Prime Minister has been prepared for a long time." Zi Sang said, "The case in Yecheng is very involved, and most of the local officials are involved. We should have made preparations for this matter in advance. That's good." King Wei said happily: "The Prime Minister is really prepared for a rainy day! Let the rest go down, and the Prime Minister will stay."
All the ministers dispersed, but Zi Sang stood in the court hall and saluted, "Your Majesty." King Wei stood up, walked up, stood in front of Zi Sang, and said, "The Prime Minister clearly wants to recruit talents. What does it mean secretly?" Zisang knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you have seen that the reform was very difficult at the beginning, and it will be obstructed by these nobles and veterans. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the law to be passed throughout the country. I don't want to see the reform. Your important task has been aborted. Please make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise there may be chaos." King Wei took off the long sword from his waist and said: "I will give you the king's sword, and then give you the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. The prime minister can carry the sword. When enforcing the law, there is no need to report it if the widow comes in person." Zi Sang knelt down and kowtowed again, saying, "Your Majesty is so wise!" King Wei helped Zi Sang up and said, "My dear, please get down."
These veterans refused to give up and went to the old master's house. The old master couldn't bear the pain of losing his son, so he closed the door and thanked guests. The old servant walked out and said: "My master has no guests today, you should go back." A minister was very disappointed and said: "Even the old master doesn't want to see us." Another old minister stood up and asked: "Old Mrs. Is the master's condition getting better?" The old servant sighed in a low voice: "I just lost my beloved son, do you think I can be okay?" The old minister said: "As long as we catch Tu Su, we will definitely not let him go. ." The old servant said: "No, it's Prime Minister Zisang. If it weren't for the reform, my young master would still be fine." Then he took out a piece of bamboo and handed it out, saying: "This is what my master left for you. After reading it, Then you can burn it." The old minister took the piece of bamboo and said, "Okay, let's go back to the mansion now." They all shook their heads and left the Taishi's mansion one after another.
They gathered together in Minister Zhu's house, seeming to be plotting something? A minister stood up and said: "Gentlemen, tell me what the Prime Minister wants to do. Is he really going to destroy our country of Wei?" Minister Zhu stood among them and said: "This Zi Sang is not simple. Relying on the king's trust in it, the court of Wei Kingdom has been turned upside down." Another veteran said: "That's right! A recruitment order is enough to squeeze us veterans out of the court. This move is really poisonous! "They are also full of grievances, and they just use this to vent to each other. They looked at Old Minister Zhu together and said, "Didn't the old master give you a piece of bamboo slip? Let's take a look at what is written on the bamboo slip?" Minister Zhu then showed the bamboo slip and wrote on it: " If you have any grievances, you can talk to the king." They looked at the big characters on the bamboo slices and didn't quite understand. A minister asked: "What does the old master mean by this?" Minister Zhu explained: "The king was supported by the old master and the old prime minister. The king always has to give this face." The rest. The minister said very convincingly: "Yes, you are right." Minister Zhu said: "It is getting late now and the king has gone to bed. We will enter the palace together tomorrow. You should go back to the mansion first."
At this time, the general supervisor had handed over the drawings for the construction of the Recruitment Hall to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Zi Sang sat in front of several desks and looked at the drawings. He carefully figured out that it was almost midnight and he inevitably felt a little sleepy. He held his head with one hand and fell asleep. The lights next to it were swaying in the night wind, and the trees were about to stop but the wind didn't stop. There was an undercurrent surging in the night. When it woke up, it was already dawn.
At this time, some officials were summoned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Zi Sang looked at the officials on both sides and asked, "Has the general come?" The general stood up and said, "I am here." Zi Sang sat in front of several cases and said, "I have already seen your drawings. , Very good, we can start construction now." The general supervisor bowed and said: "I will go down to recruit craftsmen and migrant workers." Zi Sang nodded and said: "Go and do it." The general supervisor exited the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zi Sang faced the officials sitting here and said: "The first priority of the reform is the distribution of land. Only when the people have land will the country be rich. This is the first step in making the country rich and strong in the army. What are your plans in mind?" An official asked very much. He said in surprise: "The Prime Minister is abolishing the well-field system of the past dynasties." Zi Sang faced them and said: "The so-called system is not static, it can be broken, a new system can be established, and the old and the new can be introduced. You can talk about this plan." Land was owned by the people and could be bought and sold privately. This was a transition from slavery to feudalism, and it was also a qualitative change. The official asked again: "The Prime Minister wants to measure the land of the whole country." Zi Sang replied: "Exactly, do you think it is a measurement from top down or from the bottom up?" The official said: "The Prime Minister wants to measure the land of the whole country." , the lower officials believe that we should start from the bottom up, first the common people and then the gentry and merchants, first the gentry and merchants and then the officials. Secondly, there is no need for the lower officials to talk about it." Zi Sang looked at the official who was afraid of this and said: " Why don't you say it? Continue." The official continued: "The land of the veterans and nobles in the court. They have power in the court. If we measure their land, it may cause trouble, so there is no need to provoke them. It's good." Zisang stood up and said: "I am reforming the law in Wei State for the sake of fairness and justice, and will never be partial. Anyone who openly resists the law will be regarded as a rebel and will be executed! We will never tolerate it." Then he sat down again and said, "Go and measure first. The extra land owned by the veterans and nobles in the court will be distributed to the common people for cultivation.”
