Chapter 191 I admire his courage
After hearing Wang Yong's words, Lu Shuyun said with a smile: "My ninth younger brother really dares to touch anything, but after all, this is probably what my father meant."

Lu Chen is just a vassal king.

Lu Shuyun didn't quite believe that Lu Chen could say "Under the whole world, could it be the land of the king, and the shore of the land, could it be the subject of the king."

Wang Yong said: "Your Highness, no matter whether it's the Northern King's own idea or His Majesty's, as long as anyone dares to make such a move, our family will not make him feel better."

"The people who came up with this reform measure have sinister intentions. This is to completely wipe out our family."

It's no wonder that Wang Yong reacted fiercely. The land reform measures in Beijun have obviously touched the most sensitive nerves of the aristocratic families.

The current aristocratic families are all beneficiaries of land annexation. Now some people suddenly have the idea of ​​taking back the ownership of the land to the supreme ruler, or handing it over to the country, or even prohibiting land transactions in the future. Isn’t this digging the roots of their aristocratic families?

Although this is just a flame, the aristocratic family absolutely does not allow such signs to appear.

Lu Shuyun said at this time: "Since this king has already got the news, it is estimated that other people have also got the news. It seems that tomorrow's court will be very lively."

The power that owns land is not only those aristocratic families, but also the scholar-bureaucrat class. Those official families, which one has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

The Northern King blatantly took back the land ownership of the fief to his vassal lord. Even he, a vassal lord, dared to do this. Could it be that Emperor Xia would do the same in the future?Therefore, the officials will definitely object to the Northern King doing this, even if the Northern King is only doing this in his own fief.

Lu Shuyun seemed to have seen the scene of the civil and military impeachment of Lu Chen.

……

at the same time.

Daxia Palace, inside the imperial garden.

Emperor Xia took the information in his hand, read and looked, his eyes did not move away from the information in his hand for a long time.

At this time, Emperor Xia murmured: "Under the whole world, could it be the land of the king, and the shore of the land, could it be the subjects of the king..."

"Domineering... Domineering enough..."

"Is this really what Xiao Jiu can say?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia directly flew the information in his hand to Situ Ce in the pavilion, and Situ Ce casually caught the information thrown by Emperor Xia, and then glanced at it.

Seeing the contents of the information, Situ Ce finally understood why Emperor Xia had been standing still after reading the information just now, and his eyes had been sweeping over the information.

There is no doubt that the sentence of the Northern King, "Is it the king's land under the whole world, is it the king's ministers on the shore of the land" will definitely cause shocks in the Great Xia.

Although in name the Great Xia Dynasty was founded by the Great Xia royal family, and all the land in the world belonged to the emperor, it was only in name.

No emperor dared to directly enact a decree on the ownership of land to stipulate that all the land in Daxia belonged to the emperor. If anyone dared to do this, his throne might come to an end.

No one in this world, no king has ever uttered the words "Is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's subject on the shore of the land".

The general meaning of this sentence is that all the land in the world belongs to the king, and all the people are the subjects of the king.

Although the truth is such a truth, as a king, as a ruler, you absolutely cannot say this sentence.

If all the land in the world belonged to the royal family, wouldn't those people who fought against Taizu Xia back then be busy in vain.

It was precisely because this sentence had never been uttered before that Emperor Xia was extremely shocked after seeing this sentence.

Especially after reading the intelligence about Beijun's reform measures, he found that Beiwang was a thousand times more radical than his father.

Although he is still not sure whether Lu Chen is his own son, but Lu Chen's words instantly made him feel good about Lu Chen.

From the beginning of Daxia's founding to the present, many emperors were ambitious when they ascended the throne. They planned to learn from Xia Taizu to expand the territory and make some achievements, making Daxia the most powerful dynasty in the world.

As a result, they were all restricted by various forces and obstructed by the aristocratic family. In the end, the court was controlled by the aristocratic family, and the emperors had nowhere to display their talents.

When Lu Xingqiu came to the throne, he was also full of enthusiasm, thinking that he would definitely become another emperor who expanded the territory after Xia Taizu.

He managed to open up the territory and expand the territory. The former Chen State was destroyed by him, but after the Chen State was destroyed, he found that his orders were becoming less and less effective. Whatever he wanted to do, he would always be punished by the court officials. The family obstructed.

As an emperor, he was unable to control the entire court, which made him feel extremely humiliated, and he finally understood that if the family is not destroyed, the Great Xia will never be his Great Xia, he is just the family It's just a puppet pushed to the top.

When Lu Xingqiu saw his princes getting mixed up with those aristocratic families, he was very disappointed with them. At the same time, he also thought that if it continued, the next Emperor Xia, the next Emperor Xia, might be Even generation after generation is still the puppet of the family.

At this time, Emperor Xia's inner emotions were somewhat complicated. He never expected that the first prince who dared to stand up and openly challenge the family was actually the prince he was least optimistic about and hated the most.

After reading the information in his hand, Situ Ce put the information on the desk, and then asked: "The old minister once said that the Northern King has the ambition of Xia Taizu, but His Majesty didn't believe it. Now does your Majesty believe what the old minister said before?" ?”

Hearing Situ Ce's words, Emperor Xia sneered, "I admire his courage for daring to say this, but it is stupid to reveal his thoughts in advance when he has no strength. Family officials and scholar-bureaucrats are collectively impeached, and they will face endless assassinations."

Lu Chen's reform measures in the Northern Kingdom have stimulated the aristocratic family and the scholar-bureaucrat class, they will not let Lu Chen continue to live, even if there may be Emperor Xia behind Lu Chen.

Land interests are their fundamental interests, and they will not let anyone touch their core interests, let alone the vassal kings, not even the Emperor Xia.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Xia admires Lu Chen very much.

Lu Chen jumped out to raise the issue of land ownership, which was almost like putting life and death at risk.

At the same time, Emperor Xia was a little curious. The heavy cavalry in Beijun had been wiped out. Why did Lu Chen dare to reform Beijun at this time? It would be fine to reform Beijun, and even change the land ownership.

Isn't the mysterious force behind Lu Chen afraid that Lu Chen will be killed?Or is it that they are very confident in their strength and think they can protect Lu Chen well?That's why he let Lu Chen mess around?
At this time, Emperor Xia looked at Situ Ce and asked, "National Teacher, how do you think I should respond to the impeachment of Xiao Jiu by the family officials tomorrow? Should I order to stop the reform of Beijun, or directly abolish his position as vassal king?"

If Lu Chen touched a taboo, he would definitely be impeached, that's for sure, the key is how he, the emperor, should express his stance.

If there is no punishment for Lu Chen's actions, in the eyes of the officials, he must have the same idea as Lu Chen. He has already offended the aristocratic family. If he offends the scholar-bureaucrat class again, it will not be good for him as an emperor. what good.

Hearing Emperor Xia's question, Situ Ce smiled lightly, and then said: "It is legitimate for the feudal lord to carry out reforms in his fiefdom."

Hearing Situ Ce's answer, Emperor Xia was very dissatisfied, "Master, you are pretending to be confused."

"He carried out reforms on his own fief, which is of course no problem, but he touched on the issue of land ownership. If the aristocratic family and the scholar-bureaucrats are not given an explanation, it may cause turmoil in the Great Xia."

Situ Ce said: "Then His Majesty will bring back the [-] imperial army from Beijun, let the King of the North defend the North alone, and declare that he will no longer provide aid to the King of the North in the future. Without a safe environment, the reform of the King of the North will naturally not proceed." down."

Although he said so, Situ Ce didn't think so in his heart. In his opinion, since the Northern King had already raised the land issue, the Northern King was ready to deal with the aristocratic family and the scholar-bureaucrat class.

This also shows from the side that there is a high probability that there is nothing wrong with the heavy cavalry in Beijun. All these are smoke bombs released by the Beiwang, otherwise he would not dare to do this, so even if the imperial army is transferred back, it will not have any impact on Beijun .

Situ Ce approves of Lu Chen's approach. In his opinion, Lu Chen's reform measures are not only correct, but also proposed at the right time, because the imperial court has no spare power to care about what he is doing in Beijun.

Of course, in the next period of time, there may be many assassins going to Beijun to find trouble for Lu Chen.

However, Situ Ce believes that Lu Chen, a young master, should have no problem dealing with the assassination of the aristocratic family.

Emperor Xia thought about what Situ Ce said, and thought that Situ Ce's method could indeed deal with it temporarily.

Now is the period of the war between the two dynasties, if the feudal king is deprived of his throne, it is likely to force the feudal king to rebel, use the war as an excuse to punish the northern king a little, just put on a show.

With war as an excuse, those aristocratic families and scholar-bureaucrats would not say anything no matter how uncomfortable they were. If the vassal kings were forced to rebel, which would lead to a greater crisis in Da Xia, those officials would not be able to bear the responsibility.
