Meng Yuan opened his mouth, but seeing that everyone was so welcoming, he finally nodded: "Okay, then I will play the emperor."
I originally thought that with 100 players entering this time, I should be able to make a good splash, right?
Unexpectedly, his image of playing the emperor has become so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that everyone unanimously feels that he must be the emperor...
Forget it, the emperor will be the emperor.
Although being an emperor means having to appear in every plot in the court, which is a bit troublesome, the emperor in this slice is not as important as Sheng Taizu. He only needs to be a good tool, and there will not be too many possibilities that will affect the level. A great responsibility for the success or failure of historical slicing.
This role is quite suitable for me.
Soon, everyone finished assigning roles.
After finally determining everyone's responsibilities, everyone stepped across the portal and entered this new slice of history.
…
While the players entered the historical slice, the merchant also secretly conveyed some information to Meng Yuan.
“I’m ready to start reversing this slice of history.
"Moreover, the identity of the demon responsible for this slice of history has been identified."
Meng Yuan was a little curious: "Who?"
The consultant said: "The last person who guarded the Dasheng Dynasty was one of the four demons under the Demon Lord Chi You, the God of Wind Feilian. He was responsible for investigating, so after discovering that something was wrong, he escaped very quickly.
"And this time, the person guarding the Qi Dynasty is also one of Chi You's four great demons, Xing Tian."
Meng Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly: "The Xing Tian who said, 'Xing Tian dances with his relatives, but his strong will is always there'? Shouldn't this be a positive character?"
Meng Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this name.
Because in the current cultural connotation, Xing Tian is obviously a positive figure full of fighting spirit.
Shen Shang explained: "Of course this is not the real Xing Tian in history, nor is it the Xing Tian who embodies the good intentions of the Chinese people. It is simply a demon who is a loser, tampered with, distorted, and alienated by demons.
"The demons have taken over the images of these ancient failed figures and gained power from their distorted images. Once we defeat these great demons in an upright manner, we can reverse, reshape, and correct the images of these figures.
"The same is true for Demon Lord Chi You."
Meng Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, I understand. So, is this demon Xingtian good at fighting?"
The counselor continued to pass on the message: "Of course. Among the four great demons under Chi You, since Xing Tian is the God of War, he is certainly very outstanding in terms of combat power.
"It can also be said that its actual combat power is second only to Chi You, but higher than the other three great demons.
"However, if there are advantages, there will naturally be disadvantages. Each of these four great demons has its own strengths and weaknesses. As for Xing Tian's weakness, it may be that in terms of resourcefulness, it can be basically regarded as none."
Meng Yuanruo had some realization: "It makes sense. After all, it has no head, so what's the point of having a brain?"
Shen Shang said: "In other words, Xing Tian will not bother to observe a single historical figure. Both you and the player can act more boldly without even worrying about revealing the secret.
"Xing Tian will not pay attention to every detail of the historical slice like Fei Lian, and he will not run away as soon as he finds something wrong like Fei Lian.
"However, the golden soldiers strengthened by the God of War Xingtian will probably be more difficult to deal with. We must not take it lightly."
Meng Yuan thought thoughtfully: "So, can the acting skills be relaxed appropriately? The actions in the dungeon also increase a lot of freedom...
"Understood, I will synchronize these messages to the players in a timely manner."
Consultant: "...Okay."
After saying so much, Meng Yuan finally solved the problem by saying "synchronize it to the players".
Obviously, Meng Yuan, as the official sequencer, is just starting the game at this time and is not responsible for formulating the battle plan.
It’s better to leave such complicated matters to the players themselves.
…
The white fog in front of them gradually dissipated, and hundreds of players have entered this historical slice.
However, at this time, they did not possess the target character immediately, but temporarily appeared in the sky above Niuzhuji from a God's perspective.
In the distance, the Jin soldiers' camp was filled with murderous intent. Countless Jin soldiers were boarding warships and preparing to cross the river.
On our own side, the Qi army was simply in disarray. As expected, once the Jin soldiers attacked, they would collapse at the first touch.
The navy's large ships were also docked scatteredly on our own shore, with no one under their command.
Obviously, this is the initial state of the Niuzhuji battle ten years later. Once the battle begins, defeat will be inevitable.
While everyone was observing the battlefield situation, some situations that were different from those in the simulation trial appeared.
The first is in the Jinbing camp.
The sky was filled with boundless black air, just like the last battle with Fei Lian in the historical slice of Dasheng Dynasty, blocking out the sky and the sun.
But this time, in the endless black smoke, a headless giant holding a big ax could be vaguely seen, mindlessly spreading his demonic energy evenly across the entire slice of history.
Part of this demonic energy was used to enhance the fighting will of the Jin soldiers, while the other part was directly sprinkled on the court of Dasheng Dynasty, naturally possessing some of the officials.
Among them, the main ones are naturally Wen Junshi and other old party officials.
At this time, the players seem to have clairvoyance, and all the information can be seen at a glance.
Of course this was what Meng Yuan deliberately let them see.
At the same time, some unique information about this historical slice naturally emerged in their minds.
Seeing such a scene, the players immediately started talking about it.
"Is that the big monster entrenched in this slice of history?"
"There is no head. Could it be that it is the God of War Xingtian in ancient mythology?"
"What's going on? Are we already going to fight God of War Xingtian? Is this too soon..."
"It should be the image of Xingtian that was distorted and borrowed by demons."
"What is it doing? I understand that it is spreading its demonic energy on the Jin soldiers. After all, the key to this slice of history is the Battle of Niuzhuji. But why is it spreading its demonic energy on the officials of the Qi Dynasty?"
"It's these old parties..."
"Strange, there are also scholar-bureaucrats in these old parties who have read the books of sages, such as Wen Junshi and others. Is this move of the demon really effective?"
"Reading the books of sages does not necessarily lead to awe-inspiring aura, and the demonic aura of demons does not necessarily only have the effect of tampering, but may also have the effect of solidifying and strengthening."
The players talked to each other, and through the pictures Meng Yuan deliberately let them see, they quickly figured out the current situation in this historical slice.
First of all, this historical slice itself is already in a distorted state. For example, Zhao Binfu, a key figure in winning the Battle of Niuzhuji, disappeared, and two historical figures from different periods, Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan, were blended into the same historical slice.
This is because the closer to the ancient times, the more serious the distortion of the historical slice will be. Not only the characters in it will be distorted, but the entire world background may also be distorted.
The distortion of the world background is more difficult for the sequencer to solve than the distortion of the characters. After all, if the characters are distorted, they can be corrected by acting, but if the entire world background is distorted, they can only continue to complete the mission within the context of this world.
This is tantamount to dancing on a stage marked by the devil.
Therefore, Xing Tian had no intention of tampering with the image of a certain historical figure in this historical slice. It's not necessary, and its brain doesn't quite support this strategy.
Secondly, the demon in the image of the God of War Xingtian is extremely powerful, so even if it has no brain, it is not that easy to deal with.
Obviously, Xingtian also knows that he is not good at strategy, so in this slice of history, he found the easiest way to win.
That is to spread his demonic energy on Jin Bing and the old party in the court.
The strengthened Jin Bing has a stronger fighting will, which undoubtedly greatly improved the Jin Bing's winning rate in Niuzhuji.
Originally, the defeat of the Jin soldiers was due to the internal conflicts of Wanyan Hailing's army. Wanyan Hailing was a cruel man. Although he commanded the army, there was a fire in the backyard, so he could only force the Jin soldiers to destroy them as soon as possible. Because only by annihilating Qi could he make a comeback and go back to clear out the coup.
Once he fails to destroy Qi, he will not be far from death.
And the real history is exactly like this, because the Jin soldiers suffered a major defeat in the water battle at Niuzhuji, a mutiny broke out in Wanyan Hailing's army, and the army collapsed without a fight.
After enhancing the fighting will of the Jin soldiers, the huge gap in the number of troops between the two sides will greatly increase the Jin soldiers' winning rate.
As for the old party who spread their demonic energy in the court, they wanted to obstruct Wang Wenchuan's reform as much as possible.
There may be scholars like Wen Junshi in the old party who are knowledgeable and of noble character, but in many cases knowledge and character are not the same as the ability to govern the country.
The short ten years before the Battle of Niuzhu actually determined the national destiny of the Qi Dynasty in this historical slice.
If nothing is done, then the armaments will continue to be weakened, the treasury will continue to be empty, and the battle of Uuzhu will usher in a defeat.
It is not one or two key figures who are blocking the reform, but the entire old party.
Some of these old parties may be motivated by public motives, while others may be motivated by private interests, but in the final analysis, they all try their best to obstruct the new law.
Perhaps people like Wen Junshi really believe that the new law competes with the people and harms the country and the people. They really think that by abolishing the new law, they are doing a great thing that benefits the country and the people.
But the key problem with Wen Junshi is not this.
His key problem is that he repealed the new law but did not propose his own solution.
The problems of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses in the Qi Dynasty have long been an indisputable fact, and countless people with lofty ideals hope to make changes.
Wang Wenchuan's solution is to reform, while Wen Junshi's solution is that we do nothing and encourage everyone to be frugal together.
Obviously, this is nonsense.
According to Wen Junshi's method, the entire Qi Dynasty will only slide into the abyss of chronic death. They only care about surviving in the present, and as for the future, they choose to blindly believe in the wisdom of future generations, regardless of the flood after death.
Therefore, no matter whether Wenjun actually has talents or personal ethics, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he and the old party have actually become the biggest supporter of the monster in this historical slice.
As long as they are in power, the demon will definitely win the battle of Uuzhu.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand that the demon would spread a large amount of demonic energy to the old party to solidify their behavior.
At this time, Xingtian obviously didn't know that this historical slice had been reversed and the sequencers had entered. For him, this was a historical slice that was about to be captured.
But no matter what, it still uses this snake-oil strategy to push past unreasonably.
After some analysis, everyone has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the current situation of this historical slice.
Then, according to the set goals, they possessed their target characters one after another.
A large number of players were possessed by local officials from various places in the Qi Dynasty at that time, and some were possessed by officials from the Ministry of Industry, Niuzhuji frontline generals or deputy generals.
Chu Ge chose to play Wang Wenchuan.
Among them, only Yu Jiaxuan is not played by a player. This is because Yu Jiaxuan, like General Deng Yuanjing, has his own awe-inspiring righteousness. Players playing him are a waste of combat power.
What's more, players also want to experience what it would be like to fight side by side with this fierce man from the sky in history.
…
Earlier, Shang Shang's small body had been floating in the turbulence of time and space, guiding the power of the Orderer to completely reverse the entire slice of history.
Both sides of Niuzhuji were filled with murderous intent, and a war was imminent.
The Jin soldiers were boarding the ship, while the soldiers of the Qi Dynasty were still walking around casually. The victory or defeat was already clear before the battle started.
But at this moment, everything around him suddenly began to reverse.
All the golden soldiers who boarded the ship retreated, and the heavily armed Tiefutu and Guaizima also began to retreat.
Ten years have passed since before the Battle of Uuzhu.
In the vast land of the Qi Dynasty, time was reversed. Wang Wenchuan's New Deal was re-implemented, Wang Wenchuan was dismissed as prime minister, there was a severe drought in Daming Mansion, and the red land was thousands of miles away. Wang Wenchuan shouted "There is no need to fear the changes in the sky" and implemented the Green Seedling Law...
Everything was quickly reversed and returned to its original state.
The Fifty Cavalry Robbery Camp, the Ayun Case, and Wang Wenchuan's New Deal.
The entire historical slice started to move based on these three key events.
The players each possessed the target character and began their respective roles.
…
Another uneventful morning.
Although Wen Junshi is over forty, he is still full of energy.
The corners of his eyes are raised, and his five-willow long beard floats on his chest. He has a sense of oppression that he is setting an example for a scholar and a doctor, and he also has a magnanimous and knowledgeable demeanor.
At this time, Wen Junshi had only one idea.
That is to prevent Wang Wenchuan's new law from being implemented at all costs!
At this time, the court had already had several rounds of arguments over the Ayun case and the new legal plan proposed by Wang Wenchuan.
The result of the quarrel is a refusal to give in.
The emperor obviously stood on the side of the new party, but the old party's important ministers were coming fiercely, and the emperor obviously did not dare to make any judgments.
After all, the court is composed of officials. Once huge cracks appear within officials, it will affect the emperor's ruling foundation.
Therefore, the emperor wanted to reform, but he was still hesitant and had not completely made up his mind.
In order to win over the emperor, the old and new parties are engaged in a battle from overt to covert.
Overtly, the two parties were debating scriptures around the Ayun case, debating whether the emperor could replace the law with edicts, and whether the laws of the ancestors could be changed; secretly, the two parties were also using various small means to attack each other and cut off each other's party members.
There is no doubt that there will be no results in today's court meeting.
The reason why Wen Junshi was so sure was precisely because he knew the emperor's character very well.
Even if Wang Wenchuan advocates the implementation of the new law and gradually removes obstacles, the smooth implementation of the new law will take at least a year of preparation.
And since Wen Junshi believes that the new law is harmful to the country and the people, it is natural to block it for as long as possible.
It's just that Wen Junshi didn't notice that several important ministers of the New Party in the court secretly looked at each other and exchanged glances in such a serious occasion as the court meeting.
Chu Ge, who played Wang Wenchuan, quietly raised his head and looked at the emperor at the top.
The emperor, on the other hand, winked gently at him and gave him a secret signal.
That’s it!
The players completed their identity confirmation in an instant, and then they started to fight vigorously.
Since the danger of being tampered with and discovered by monsters in this slice of history is greatly reduced, we might as well throw off our arms and go for it.
The aloof emperor spoke: "Prince Prime Minister, please tell me the plan of the new law again."
Chu Ge nodded immediately: "Yes, the official family."
Wen Junshi was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Wang Wenchuan read out a new law plan that he had never heard of before in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
Compared with Wang Wenchuan's original new law plan, this plan has made some changes.
This is a selection made by the players after some research, using future economics and sociology knowledge, and combined with the actual results achieved by Wang Wenchuan's reform.
Among them, the core legal provisions such as the Young Crops Law and the Immunity from Service Law have basically been retained, with only some minor repairs in the details; while those legal provisions that are obviously not very effective after implementation have been eliminated, and only the most important ones have been retained. Valid part.
Wenjun couldn't help but frown slightly.
Wang Wenchuan made so many changes to the new law overnight?
You know, obviously yesterday, the law did not contain these contents.
But Wenjun didn't think much about it. Firstly, Wang Wenchuan was a very active person. Although it seemed unsound to change these laws overnight, he could do such a thing; secondly, Now, since the two iconic "evil laws" of the Young Crops Law and the Exemption from Service Law are still there, the nature of Wang Wenchuan's new law will not change in any way.
Wen Junshi still had to object without thinking.
Other old party officials have also prepared their emotions. After Wen Junshi speaks, they will attack in groups and create a fierce opposition to hinder the implementation of the new law.
Soon, Wang Wenchuan had finished reading all the terms of the new law.
Wen Junshi immediately said: "The officials and ministers believe that the new law will harm the country and the people, so we must not..."
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the aloof emperor.
"Written admonishment.
"It's not your time to speak yet, please be patient."
There was a smile on the emperor's face, which seemed to be a very considerate expression for his subjects, which was almost exactly the same as that of the former emperor. But from Wen Junshi's point of view, he always felt that something was wrong.
It seems that...the original emperor was hard yet soft, but the current emperor is soft yet hard.
The temperaments of the two were so similar that Wen Junshi was in a daze for a moment, and even wondered if it was his own illusion.
However, since the emperor has spoken, he should be patient and find a suitable time to object again.
Other old party officials were also forced to go back.
The emperor continued: "Prince Prime Minister, continue to talk about personnel appointments and removals."
Chu Ge nodded and took out another document again.
But this time, Chu Ge had just read a few words, and the old party officials in the court were already in an uproar!
Because in this document, all the old party officials were directly transferred from the center of power, demoted to demoted, and exiled!
Before Wang Wenchuan, played by Chu Ge, finished reading, some old party ministers couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out on the spot.
The official environment of the Qi Dynasty was much more relaxed than that of the Dasheng Dynasty. If it were in the Dasheng Dynasty, it would be easy for officials to shout and make trouble in front of the emperor, but in the Qi Dynasty, it was not uncommon for officials to quarrel in the court until they were red-faced and even wanted to do something on the spot.
These old party officials never expected that Wang Wenchuan would not follow the routine?
All old party officials are driven away indiscriminately. Isn’t this blatant party strife? Doesn’t this mean that the laws and regulations of the court are ignored? The most critical thing is that this destroyed the political tacit understanding of the entire Qi Dynasty since its establishment!
Want to rebel?
The key is, how could the emperor be indifferent to this?
Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents, let alone sending all these old party officials out to retire. How could they remain silent?
"Officials, Wang Wenchuan is a treacherous villain. In order to implement laws that harm the people, he does not hesitate to bring trouble to the court. Please remove Wang Wenchuan immediately!"
"In the official family, the ministers dedicated their lives to the Qi Dynasty and died. They worked hard for half their lives and walked on thin ice. Why did they end up wandering around? When the officials behave like this, aren't they afraid of the scholar-bureaucrats in the world? Isn't it chilling?"
"Officials, think twice! Don't be deceived by the traitor!"
Some officials of the old party were already anxious on the spot and began to curse Wang Wenchuan as a traitor.
Wen Junshi didn't jump out immediately. He was a well-educated person, but at this time he was blowing his beard and staring, trying hard to calm down his mood. It was obvious that he was shocked by this incident. No matter how well-mannered he was, Almost fainted.
However, the emperor and Wang Wenchuan just smiled and didn't pay attention at all.
The highest official of the Yushitai, Yushi Zhongcheng, spoke.
"Officials, I am about to impeach these people!"
As soon as these words came out, the old party officials who were jumping up and down were all stunned and looked at Yu Shi Zhongcheng, as if they had met him for the first time.
The censor Zhongcheng completely ignored their gazes.
Officials of the old party jumped up and besieged Wang Wenchuan with great violence, but they did not expect that they had been stabbed in the back by Yushi Zhongcheng before the battle began.
It stands to reason that among the censors of the Qi Dynasty, there were a group of people who were dedicated to their duties, served the government and the public, and were upright.
However, Yushitai will not completely favor either the new party or the old party at this time.
The reason is very simple, because the censors in the Yushitai also split into two factions, some supporting the new party and some supporting the old party. As the highest official of the Yushitai, it is impossible for Yushi Zhongcheng to completely fall to one side.
Playing both ways is the way to survive in officialdom.
Of course, if the Yushitai discovers that an official has engaged in malpractice or other acts of impeachment, they will not hesitate to impeach him or her. But there are also some upright officials in the old party, and they may even be cleaner than the officials in the new party.
Therefore, at this time, Yushi Zhongcheng suddenly switched sides and started stabbing the old party officials, which really made the old party officials extremely puzzled.
what's the situation?
Wasn't it fine yesterday? How come the sky changes after one night?
It stands to reason that there should be some signs and clues for such a big change in the political environment, right?
For Wang Wenchuan to completely win the emperor's support, win over the people in Yushitai, and obtain the support of sufficiently strong political forces, there must be an operational process that consumes a lot of time.
But at this time, these people seemed to have been robbed, and suddenly they all stood on Wang Wenchuan's side.
This is so unreasonable!
The sudden change confused the old officials, including Wen Junshi, who were accustomed to the world.
Censor Zhongcheng read dozens of memorials in succession, basically digging up the misdeeds of some major officials in the old party.
Of course, the players had already dug up these misdeeds through Wu Desi in the simulation trial before. At this time, it was just a matter of sorting them out. Anyway, they were all true.
As for whether there is a lot of dirt on New Party officials?
Of course there are many, but now that the players have completely replaced the officials of the new party, they naturally cannot make trouble for themselves.
The impeachment of Yushi Zhongcheng and Wang Wenchuan's appointment and dismissal order caught these old parties off guard and were caught off guard.
Wenjun still retained the last trace of clarity in the chaos, so he turned to the aloof emperor.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for the emperor to support such naked and blatant suppression of dissidents.
Because this is a partisan struggle!
Which emperor is not afraid of party strife?
The negative consequences of party struggle are not only the serious deterioration of the political situation in the entire court, causing both sides to begin to criticize each other, which greatly reduces the governance ability of the entire court, but more importantly, the result of party struggle must be the emergence of powerful officials , the imperial power was divided, and even the emperor was ignored.
Therefore, if the emperor is smarter, he should be well versed in the art of balance at this time.
Even if there is a reform, we should always leave a way for these old parties to survive and give them the opportunity to make a comeback.
Otherwise, what if one day the emperor repented and found that both the government and the government were members of the new party, and no one from the old party could be used?
However, just as Wen Junshi was about to speak, he heard the emperor say a few words in an understatement.
"Yes, if you ministers have no objections, please proceed accordingly.
"Retreat from the court."
After saying that, the emperor walked away, even more casually than just going through the motions.
Wen Junshi stood there dumbfounded, with a confused look on his face.
He suddenly felt that the world had changed beyond recognition overnight, and even his decades of political experience were completely incomprehensible...
Wang Wenchuan smiled at him: "Wen Jianyi, don't think too much and write your book well."
…
Ministry of Industry.
Cui Huowang, who had possessed the Minister of Industry, wanted to come to the drawings of various large-scale weapons in the Qi Dynasty army at this time, and summoned several important ministers from the Ministry of Industry, as well as several top craftsmen.
These craftsmen were so frightened that they never thought that one day they would be summoned by a big boss like the Minister of Industry.
I just didn't expect that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was actually quite amiable and approachable, without the official airs that I imagined.
What shocked the officials of the Ministry of Industry was that the Minister of Industry, who was usually obsessed with government affairs, actually looked at these drawings with interest and gave some opinions.
These drawings are basically weapons used by previous players in the Battle of Niuzhu.
There are loach boats, divine arm bows, bed crossbows, foot armor and firearms, etc.
At this time, the Minister of Industry was particularly interested in the sudden musket, and even personally wrote and conceived the drawings of a new type of sudden musket.
According to him, this new musket was called a flintlock.
The goal of the entire Ministry of Industry is to develop the flintlock gun step by step in ten years.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry were stunned for a while, and after a long time they said: "However, this new type of musket seems to be very expensive. I'm afraid the government will not allocate funds..."
Cui Huowang looked at them and smiled: "You don't need to worry about money, that's enough!"
…
That night, in Wen Junshi's mansion.
Several important officials of the old party gathered together.
And their topic obviously has only one topic.
Today, there was a sudden change in the court. From the emperor to Wang Wenchuan, to Yu Shi Zhongcheng, to the Ministry of Works, and to other New Party officials, they all turned over the table with expressions of "no more pretense".
This caught them off guard.
But after feeling confused, you have to think about countermeasures.
Many of these important ministers of the old party were veterans of the current dynasty, with high positions and great power. How could they give up so easily?
"Wen Jianyi, in your opinion, when did Wang Wenchuan set up the plan?" An old party official was still puzzled.
Wen Junshi shook his head slightly: "I don't know either."
Other officials couldn't help but sigh. This situation from the emperor to the new party was like being taken away collectively. No matter how many ups and downs they had experienced in the court, they could only sigh and be helpless when they encountered it.
But Wen Junshi's next words made these old party officials' eyes light up and rekindled their hope.
"Although I know nothing about the reasons for the changes in the official family and the king's prime minister, I know how to solve this matter."
All the officials couldn't help but their eyes lit up: "How? Please give me some advice!"
Wen Junshi solemnly said: "Wait!"
Everyone was puzzled: "Wait? When?"
A confident smile appeared on Wen Junshi's face: "The new law is actually a law that harms the country and the people. The officials were just temporarily deceived. Over time, the officials will surely realize the disadvantages of the new law.
"The disadvantage of the new law is not only that Wang Wenchuan competed with the people for profit, but also violated the principle of 'sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats'.
“Officials share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the people. In the final analysis, the important thing is to employ people to implement it.
"Even if the new law can amass people's wealth for a while, the world's wealth is fixed, but it is just hurting the people to enrich the public, how can it last long?
"Once the world changes and refugees are everywhere, the opportunity I have been waiting for will naturally come."
All the officials couldn't help but suddenly realized.
In later generations, many people know that Wen Junshi once said, "We share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people." But they don't know that there is another sentence behind it: The business lies in people's implementation.
Translated, it means that the emperor wants to share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. Why? Because every policy of the emperor actually needed scholar-bureaucrats to implement it for him.
If all the scholar-bureaucrats do not implement it, wouldn't the emperor's decree be just a piece of paper?
By then, the connection between the emperor and the people would be completely severed.
Can an emperor who is not supported by the common people and scholar-bureaucrats still be considered an emperor?
From this point of view, Wen Junshi's view does make sense. Under the court environment at that time, the emperor was indeed unable to circumvent these bureaucrats and scholar-officials to rule the country.
After all, not every emperor has the energy of a model worker like Sheng Taizu and the full understanding of governance experience from the grassroots to the top, nor does he have the courage to kill all officials.
Wen Junshi's method is exactly the same as in history.
It boils down to one word, drag!
At this time, Wang Wenchuan was favored by the emperor, and the implementation of the new law was a foregone conclusion. Even if the old party wanted to oppose it, it would be difficult to have any effect.
In this case, we should retreat in order to advance.
In Wen Junshi's view, Wang Wenchuan's new law is destined to fail because "it depends on people to implement it." In other words, it is impossible for the officials below to implement the new law for him, so no matter how good the plan is, the final outcome will be it's the same.
On this point, Wen Junshi saw clearly. Therefore, his solution to the problem of three redundancies in Qi Dynasty is to do nothing, because nothing can be done, and everyone can just show off together.
Since Wang Wenchuan's new law is doomed to fail, as long as they, the old party, wait patiently and wait until the new law causes chaos and public dissatisfaction, then come back and "rectify everything", it will become a matter of course.
All the officials nodded: "Wen Jianyi is still scheming! Then we will take a closer look at how Wang Wenchuan will use the new law to harm the country and the people!"
