back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 408
Thinking of this, Xu Chongguang didn't care so much.Although he wanted to take power very much, he also took power to leave a name in history.What is the prerequisite for leaving a name in history?Naturally, he is called a good official and a good official who thinks about the people.With such a ten-rank official system, the little emperor deliberately wants to provoke the world's scholars to make trouble, which is completely contrary to his original intention!
He stood up and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, you are setting yourself on fire! The veteran will never agree with His Majesty to do this. Once the world's scholars are in turmoil, the foundation of Dashun will be shaken!"

Lu Chengqi was startled, and quickly said: "Xu Qing, what are you doing, get up quickly!"

Xu Chongguang seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "If Your Majesty does not take back the order, the old minister will not be able to kneel forever!"

It seemed that Lu Chengqi had seen Xu Chongguang's stubbornness for the first time, and it seemed that the rumors were not groundless. Once this little old man became stubborn, he really couldn't pull back nine bulls.Sighing, Lu Chengqi stood up slowly, walked to Xu Chongguang's side, and said softly: "Xu Qing, you are late, Xu Qing has already sent this news to the Dashun Minbao..."

It turned out that Xu Jingchun had already been here once in front of Xu Chongguang.After Xu Chongguang heard this, his whole body seemed to be emptied all of a sudden, and he collapsed on the ground, muttering: "It's over, it's over..."

After a year of development, the influence of "Dashun Min Bao" has now spread all over the country.This newspaper has almost replaced the status of the Di Bao and has become the main source for the people to obtain information about the imperial court.Reading newspapers and listening to newspapers has become the content of the daily life of most people.Why is there such a lack of entertainment in this era? "Dashun Minbao" not only has the latest policies of the imperial court, but also a summary of news from all over the world.Knowing the world's affairs without leaving home is no longer a legend, but a real possibility. Under the guidance of Lu Chengqi, "Dashun Minbao" avoided many detours, and naturally won the top spot.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, how could Xu Chongguang not know the influence of "Dashun Min Bao"?Knowing that the news of the ten-rank official system had been spread to the Dashun People's Daily, he immediately felt as if the sky was falling, and his eyes were filled with darkness.

Lu Chengqi helped him up and sat down, and then persuaded: "Xu Qing, I don't believe you can't see the benefits of the ten-rank official system with your knowledge. Although there is a temporary pain, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Let them make trouble. As long as they don't incite the people, I will tolerate it. If they incite the people to make trouble, then don't blame me..." Speaking of this, Lu Chengqi's words were already filled with a deep chill, and there was an evil spirit. The homogeneity became substantive, and Xu Chongguang, who was immersed in despair, was frightened back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, this is suicidal, Your Majesty!"

Faced with Xu Chongguang's crying, Lu Chengqi did not waver at all, but sneered and said: "Being an official is not making decisions for the people, it is better to go home and raise pigs. If all the scholars in the world come for the official position, what's the use of it? "

"But Your Majesty, do you know Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao?" Xu Chongguang cheered up again, remembering that "Dashun Minbao" was writing today, and it was going to be published in the middle of the night.If Lu Chengqi withdraws his order at this time, there is still time.

The matter of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao defecting to the Liao Kingdom's Han people was a pain for Dashun, how could Lu Chengqi not know about it?If they were lucky, they died more than ten years ago.If not, based on the pain these two people brought to the Han people, Lu Chengqi would probably crush them to ashes.Provoking the relationship between Uighur and Dashun, planning to attack Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and almost giving Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to the Liao Kingdom.Such a crime is killing them [-] times, not many.

"What does Xu Qing want to say?"

Seeing that Lu Chengqi was showing a hint of anger, Xu Chongguang knew he had hit a sore spot, and said in a deep voice, "Does Your Majesty want dozens, hundreds more Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao in Liao Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Lu Chengqi also understood what Xu Chongguang meant.Xu Chongguang's move was nothing more than threatening him. If the ten-rank official system was implemented, there would be more than two Han people who defected to the Liao Kingdom.

Is Lu Chengqi such an easily threatened person?of course not!The reason why Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao were able to succeed was only due to chance.They climbed up to the Privy Envoy of the South Court at that time, and they were able to display their "ambition".It is almost impossible to reproduce their "miracle" with the Khitan people's wariness against the Han people.

Lu Chengqi smiled confidently: "If there are people who really want to learn from Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, let them go. They will regret it within a year. I don't even bother to use people who have no country or family in their hearts." , so what if you are talented?"

Xu Chongguang was shocked, he didn't understand where Lu Chengqi's confidence came from.Even he has heard about the bravery of the Khitan people.Is this little emperor not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, or is he confident?
Regarding military plans, Lu Chengqi would not tell Xu Chongguang.He has always believed that professional matters should be left to professionals.He wouldn't even send the supervising army that had always been dispatched to the expedition.Xu Chongguang is just a literati, so what if we tell him about the military affairs?

"Your Majesty is really determined to do this?" Since Lu Chengqi refused to enter, Xu Chongguang finally resorted to his trump card, "Then the old minister can only resign. Your Majesty, the chief minister of the cabinet, should find someone else..."

Xu Chongguang was disheartened. He had long understood that being the chief minister of the cabinet seemed to have a lot of glory, but in fact the power was still in the hands of Lu Chengqi.After becoming the chief assistant of the cabinet, it was like being on Lu Chengqi's thief ship.Whenever there is any new policy that touches the interests of vested interest groups, they dare not do anything to the little emperor, so they put pressure on the cabinet.Xu Chongguang has had enough of such useless days.

Lu Chengqi really didn't expect Xu Chongguang to be so decisive, and he didn't know what to say for a while.It wasn't until Xu Chongguang took off his official hat silently and put it on the coffee table that Lu Chengqi shouted in a low voice: "Xu Chongguang, stop for me!"

Xu Chongguang paused for a moment, then continued to walk forward.Lu Chengqi raised his voice and said: "Huang Kao entrusted Xu Qing to assist me, Xu Qing, have you forgotten?"

After hearing these words, Xu Chongguang finally did not leave.

Lu Chengqi continued: "I said, as long as I'm given ten years, I can make the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Dashun's national power will flourish. Xu Qing, why don't you believe me?"

Xu Chongguang said: "Your Majesty said so, but the old minister doesn't understand, what will His Majesty use to realize this ambition? Such a ten-rank official system? Then the old minister dared to say that what the old minister saw was that His Majesty's people betrayed their relatives, and Dashun fell apart. , Guozuo will be completely destroyed in one day! At that time, there will be flames of war and people's grievances, how will it end?"

Lu Chengqi said in a deep voice: "I don't believe it anymore, what can a group of judges do! Xu Qing, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I only have people in my eyes! No matter how many judges, there are more people in Dashun? As long as I want to live a better life for the common people, what reason do you guys have to dare to fight against me? If Xu Qing can’t figure it out, go back and read "Mencius" a hundred times, it’s self-evident!"
