Yang Xiu, Zhuge Jin, Kan Ze, Lu Rong, Lu Xun and others have always had separate rooms in the imperial city and have their own responsibilities. At present, a copy of the results of the government memorials handled by the DPRK and China will be forwarded.
When Yang Xiu, Zhuge Jin, Kan Ze, Lu Rong and Lu Xun were reading the memorial, the chamberlain came to pass on Lu Xuan's order. Yang Xiu was in high spirits after hearing it and was extremely happy because Lu Xuan was the first to summon him.
This is his chance.
Yang Xiu stood up and walked towards the main hall where Lu Xuan was with a little pride. When Yang Xiu came to the door of the hall, he stretched out his hands to straighten his hair, straightened his crown, closed his eyes and took a deep breath before striding into the hall.
Taking small steps, he walked to the center of the hall and stood there, bowing and saying: "Your Majesty, Yang Xiu, pays homage to your Majesty."
Lu Xuan asked: "Yang Qing, how do you feel about working beside me?"
Yang Xiu said quickly: "Your Majesty, the sage is shining brightly, and the future of Wu is bright. This is the light of the right path and the general trend of the world."
Lu Xuan said: "You serve as the chief reporter next to me. Although I am not here, you are also exposed to the government. What do you think of the current government of Wu? Don't worry, just speak freely."
Yang Xiu thought about it after hearing it.
The king suddenly asked him about his opinions on the government. Could it be a test before appointing him to see what his opinions were?
Yes, that should be the case.
Yang Xiu became more and more expectant, but did not rush to answer. He carefully sorted out his thoughts and said: "Reporting to the king, Zhang Shangshu is currently in charge of the government. The overall situation is stable and there are not too many major problems. There is only one thing that I think is not enough. .”
Lu Xuan leaned forward slightly and said, "Let's talk and listen."
Yang Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Currently, the Xiuyi Guards under the leadership of Governor Chen monitor the world, although they suppress the powerful and wealthy. In fact, this is far from enough, and further suppression is necessary."
"The stability of the country and the stability of local areas depend on the strong measures of the court to suppress lawless people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
"However, the powerful families have too much land in their hands."
"In places like Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou, including Bingzhou, because of the raging Yellow Turbans and massacres by bandits, there were few big families, and a lot of land was vacated. But in all states in the world, such as Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jizhou, and Xuzhou, big families There are still many, and there is no suppression, and many families are even expanding.”
"I believe that the arrangements for these big families must be dealt with further."
"It takes strong measures."
"In addition, the treatment of the old and young of the Han Dynasty must be further suppressed. For example, people like Liu Biao and Liu Zhang actually suggested that after Liu Xie abdicated the throne, the king would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. It is simply ridiculous."
"The king founded the country with great dignity, how could he abdicate? During the Han Dynasty, would it be necessary to appoint an emperor of the Qin Dynasty and ask the emperor to abdicate? Did Liu Bang, the high emperor, succeed to the throne?"
Yang Xiu's words were very fierce and he said loudly: "So the treatment of these people is still insufficient."
Lu Xuan looked approvingly.
Yang Xiu is a bit unruly. In fact, except for Lu Xuan and the people he respects, Yang Xiu is unruly and looks down upon most people. However, there is no doubt that Yang Xiu is talented.
The supervision of powerful families mentioned by Yang Xiu is something that must be done for a long time. Otherwise, once a big family takes power and forms a solidified interest group, the fixed class will be in danger.
Interest groups cannot be eliminated.
As long as there are people in power, there will be interest groups. When someone becomes an official, there are benefits. However, interest groups must not be solidified and cannot block the upward channel, so that they can circulate.
Lu Xuan was looking forward to Yang Xiu's plan and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Yang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the king, the king is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. I would like to ask the king to restore the mausoleum system after he ascends the throne, arrange for people to choose the location of the mausoleum, build a mausoleum for the king, and move powerful families to guard the mausoleum. Embroidered Yiwei In addition to the original responsibilities, he is also responsible for the implementation and implementation of the mausoleum system."
After Lu Xuan heard this, he immediately laughed.
Yang Xiu is very good.
It came to Lu Xuan's heart.
The mausoleum system was established by Liu Bang. On the grounds of building the emperor's mausoleum and guarding the emperor's mausoleum, local powerful families or officials' families were moved to the emperor's mausoleum, and counties were established around the mausoleum.
On the one hand, local powerful people migrated; on the other hand, as the population around the tomb increased, it also opened up new places.
For the imperial court, it was of great benefit and without any harm.
During the reign of Emperor Liu Shi of the Han Yuan Dynasty, he advocated Confucianism and abolished the mausoleum system that had been implemented in the Han Dynasty. When Liu Xun, Liu Xun's father, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, was still alive, he said that the Han family had its own system for governing the country, which was based on the overlord's way.
Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty respected Confucian scholars and advocated Confucianism. He did everything according to Confucianism, abandoned Legalism, and abandoned the methods of kings and hegemons. As a result, the local big families began to develop rapidly.
The power of local powerful clans increased. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, because he relied on the power of powerful clans to achieve his goals, it was impossible to weaken them and it was difficult to do so. As a result, the power of local powerful clans further strengthened.
For example, the Yang family of Hongnong, the Yuan family of Runan, etc., these large families with four generations and three princes are all representatives.
In fact, there are countless local wealthy families.
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, after the implementation of the nine-level Zhongzheng system, the powerful families were further strengthened and became aristocratic families, truly monopolizing the channels for advancement, solidifying the class and turning the world into a stagnant water.
When Lu Xuan wanted to govern the place, he had to go beyond the selection of scholars from the Five Classics Hall to the imperial examination. At the same time, the suppression of local large families must be further developed, so the mausoleum system is crucial.
Taking advantage of the fact that the powerful families in the world have not evolved into aristocratic families, and taking advantage of the fact that Lu Xuan, as the founding monarch, has sufficient prestige and influence, the system can be established and the foundation can be solidified.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Dezu, do you know that the mausoleum system has been abolished for hundreds of years and suddenly re-established. Once it is decided and implemented, it will inevitably cause great turmoil. Those who implement it will be punished by thousands of people. He means that he will be targeted by countless people."
Yang Xiu listened to Lu Xuan's words, his eyes were sharp, and he said loudly: "Report to the king, as long as anyone who opposes has a crooked butt and is not on the side of the king, they can be killed."
"The world has just settled down, everything is easy to handle."
"Even if the whole thing is killed, it won't have any impact. Your Majesty will definitely be able to keep it under control. But when the court is stable and everything is done according to the rules, it will not be easy to adjust the policy then."
"I think it must be implemented."
Yang Xiu always dared to take the initiative to ask for help. He clasped his hands and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Xiu, is willing to clean up the unsubordinates for your majesty!"
He directly changed the title.
Addressed as His Majesty.
Lu Xuan's ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor was a matter of calculation, and he had to make arrangements accordingly.
When Lu Xuan heard Yang Xiu's words, his eyes showed approval. Yang Xiu was indeed a good person. In fact, this is the sharpest knife. It is the best arrangement for such a rebellious person to use it on the embroidery guard.
Don’t be afraid of offending people!
Not afraid of difficulties!
Just do it!
With a faint smile on his face, Lu Xuan asked, "Yang Qing has great ambitions. Is he willing to serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Xiuyi Guard and oversee the world?"
Yang Xiu suddenly became excited.
Serving as the chief reporter next to Lu Xuan is a good choice and will be beneficial to his future development. However, Yang Xiu was unwilling to follow the path of Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and Lu Meng, and was unwilling to go to local places step by step to experience.
He feels that he is fully capable and doing things step by step is not what he wants.
Yang Xiu did not hesitate and said without hesitation: "I am willing to take charge of the embroidered clothes guard and monitor the world for the king."
Lu Xuan ordered: "You first go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report to Zhang Zhao and complete the appointment process, and then go to the Xiuyi Guards to hand over to Chen Deng. The king has arranged Chen Deng's official position. He will be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, and you will take over as Xiuyi Wei. Governor of the Guard."
"Great King Shengming!"
Yang Xiu saluted again.
He felt more at ease when he heard Chen Deng's arrangement. With the precedent of Chen Deng being transferred to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, it means that a lonely minister like the Governor of Xiuyiwei can be transferred to a normal official career. This is great news.
Lu Xuan ordered: "I will personally receive Liu Biao and Liu Zhang. Others who are advocating for Liu Xie to abdicate and me to take over will start an investigation to see if anyone has treacherous intentions."
"Here!"
Yang Xiu bowed and answered.
Lu Xuan waved his hand, and Yang Xiu stood up and stepped back. Lu Xuan's hand on the desk in front of him gently tapped the desk. After a while, Lu Xuan ordered: "Whoever comes, please inform Liu Biao and Liu Zhang to come to the palace to see you."
After receiving the order, the chamberlain turned around and went down to inform.
