Xuanhuan: Unparalleled Prince, Conquer the Heavens!

Chapter 394
After Jia Xu's "tossing", the court meeting ended soon, and many clan officials left with a relaxed pace.

In their view, they blocked a fatal crisis for all the clans in Daqin.

To their delight, they did not realize that Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, Guo Jia and other important officials did not return to their offices, but went to the imperial study.

Small things happen in the general meeting, and big things are done in small meetings!

Usually, plans that determine the future direction of the country are discussed secretly in Qin Wudao's imperial study.

There is no faction that when discussing important matters, it will call a large number of people, and you will discuss with each other one by one, let alone whether the negotiation will result in a result, even if there is, it will be known to everyone.

There are too many people talking, and no one can guarantee that there will be no spies planted by other forces within the forces.

In the imperial study room, the fragrance of tea is overflowing, refreshing!

After the monarchs and ministers were seated, the enchantment was automatically opened, and while sipping tea, they chatted about the next major event.

"Your Majesty, I plead guilty. If Master Jia hadn't discovered it early, I wouldn't know that there are so many clan officials in the court!"

Zhuge Liang took the lead in self-criticism, his face full of shame.

Out of trust, Qin Wudao handed over the power of appointment and removal of court officials to the prime minister, who was only responsible for the final seal.

However, as the prime minister, he didn't watch over the court, allowing clan officials to occupy half of the court, which almost caused serious consequences.

You know, they have specifically discussed the composition of court officials, and at most [-]% of the officials are allowed to come from the clan.

"You should pay more attention. You haven't even noticed such a big problem in the court!"

Qin Wudao blamed angrily, but thinking of the many things that happened recently, Zhuge Liang and others were busy with state affairs, so they inevitably ignored the appointment and dismissal of officials, so there was no punishment after a little reprimand.

However, he was very curious about the speed at which clan officials expanded in the court.

No matter how busy Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, and Guo Jia are, they will definitely review the list of court officials. How did the clan escape the eyes of the three?
To know the answer, I am afraid that this matter must be thoroughly clarified!
"Your Majesty, in just two years, more than half of the clan officials in the court, I deduce that they may form cronies and have careful plans!"

Zhuge Liang sorted out his thoughts, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

In the past two years, due to the rapid development of the Great Qin Dynasty, many new officials have been added to the court, so there are as many as two thousand people participating in the court meeting.

He thought about the clan officials who stood up today, most of them were not of high rank, and they concentrated on the newly established official positions.

These official positions all have a typical feature, and their main duty is to liaise with local governments.

There is no way, Daqin is too big, for each domain, set up three to five liaison officials, named military and political department, mainly responsible for local military and political affairs, equivalent to a second-level imperial court.

Fortunately, when the official position was first set up, he was worried that the power would be too great, so he only had the right to suggest, not the right to make decisions.

"Everyone, I want to abolish the clan system and continue to use the single imperial examination system!"

Qin Wudao put the teacup in his hand, feeling the hot temperature, and said solemnly.

The clan's selfish desires are too great, and it is the excessive selfish desires that cause the clan to continuously increase the number of court officials and want to control more power.

He even suspected that if the imperial court was not too powerful, the number of Daqin clan officials would have doubled.

Only the imperial examination can guarantee fairness!
"Your Majesty, the premise of abolishing the clan system is to disintegrate the clan's strength. You have seen it today. Mr. Jia only proposed a thorough investigation of the clan, but the clan strongly opposed it!"

Xiao He pondered and said: "A strong man can create a powerful clan! We need to control the evidence of the clan, suppress the strong man of the clan with the hand of thunder, and then arrest the clan officials who committed crimes. Only on this basis can we The clan system can now be abolished!"

The clan is an interest group. They seek to become a special class, attached to the imperial power, but have great privileges.

The reason why Daqin suppressed the clan was to create a relatively fair social environment and protect the people in a disadvantaged position. Taking the Huang family as an example, they murdered hundreds of thousands of people for their own selfish desires.

"This is just a countermeasure at this stage. How to prevent the restoration of clan power?"

Qin Wudao's eyes were burning, looking at the room full of ministers.

"This"

Everyone frowned on this question. They were all the smartest people in Daqin, but they were still very cautious when facing this question.

In 1 minute, everyone frowned!
In 10 minutes, the atmosphere in the hall was dignified!

Half an hour later, the tea tasted warm and cold, but no one spoke!

Qin Wudao sat in the first place, without urging, and meditating secretly, the existence of the clan has a long history, and since the birth of the primitive continent, there is the shadow of the clan.

In the early days of the ancient times, the major races competed for hegemony, forming the initial clan situation, with one race as one clan.

With the prosperity of the race and the increase in the population, the interior began to split, forming an ethnic group linked by blood ties, which is the perfection of the clan.

The ultimate formation of clan power is the privatization of martial arts and martial arts, forming a strong clan and controlling powerful power.

These people are a minority, but they control the vast majority of the power of the ethnic group.

"Your Majesty, blocking is worse than slacking off. Suppressing with powerful force can only have a temporary effect!"

An hour later, Guo Jia stood up, and said politely: "I suggest dividing up the clans and breaking up their clansmen. At the same time, it is stipulated that clans with more than 50 members must pay more per capita tax!"

"In this way, clans that are unwilling to disperse will have to pay taxes several times or even dozens of times until they can't afford it!"

"And once the clans are separated and their respective interests are involved, it will be difficult to merge together. Outside of the five servers, there will be no connection!"

Qin Wudao listened carefully and nodded frequently, but in the end, his brows were tightly wrinkled again.

He had to admit that the implementation of Guo Jia's plan would seriously damage the clan's power.

But when it comes to clans, the largest clan in the Holy Court of Great Qin is the royal family!

Every king is the patriarch of the Qin clan. Three years ago, Qin Wudao looked through the genealogy. Now the royal family has more than 3 people. If Guo Jia's plan is implemented, the royal family will be severely damaged.

The royal family can be excluded, fearing that the clans in the world will not accept it.

"Your Majesty, the royal family can use the decree of grace to confer titles unique to the royal family, confer titles based on the merits of blood, and the successors will be demoted to one level. When there are no titles, the royal family will be removed!"

"The greater the number of royal families, the greater the burden on the country. If there is no corresponding system, it may be difficult for the country to support the royal family after ten thousand years!"

Guo Jia seemed to see through Qin Wudao's worries, and proposed another plan.

There is no way, the children of the royal family are supported by the state. If they don’t do anything, they will have children if they have nothing to do. A prince will have dozens of sons, and sons will have hundreds of grandchildren.

"Yes, this proposal is very good!"

Qin Wudao also understood the reason, and asked the other ministers: "What do you think?"

Seeing Qin Wudao's satisfied appearance, the other ministers expressed their support.

For the clans in the world, this is a desperate plan, so they can only bear it obediently. Do you want to separate the family if you don't see the royal family?As for resistance, it is necessary to weigh the strength.

As for the royal family, this is a conspiracy, but they still have to drill into it, because no one can refuse the temptation of the title.

There is a saying that is good, after I die, let him be flooded!

With two strategies, the power of the clan can be leveled!

At the same time, members of the royal family can be assigned places to strengthen the influence of the royal family.

After all, the royal family is different from other clans, as long as Qin Wudao is still the king, he can unite the members of the royal family together, which is incomparable to the patriarch of the clan!

Of course, the patriarch of the clan will also try his best to maintain the cohesion of the clan, but as long as the court operates, the clan members of the clan will be dispersed, and they will not be able to see each other. How can we talk about cohesion?
