One after another officials stood up, this was no longer a battle between Bai Su and the Tian family, but a conflict between Bai Su and the nobles left behind from the Six Kingdoms.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes. It was obvious that there was something wrong with Tian's family, but these people were standing on Tian's side, they were turning black and white.

When she ruled the world, the territory increased suddenly, but there were not enough talents to govern the region. In order to value talents, she gave these nobles of the six countries generous treatment and let them continue to govern the region.

But these people now want to violate the royal power for their own self-interest, which is really hateful.

In just an instant, a small half of the officials stood up and seconded the proposal.

A considerable part of the rest of the officials are neutral officials, and most of them are staunch supporters of the political sister.

Although Sister Zheng had the intention to kill someone, her face was as calm as before, and she didn't speak for a long time.

The atmosphere in the court was a little frozen.

The hearts of these officials were pounding, but they all had a sense of luck in their hearts, and His Majesty probably wouldn't take action against them.

This method does not blame everyone, Bai Su alone is not enough to bring down so many of them.

What's more, the 38 counties in the world need to be managed, so many of their officials are abolished at once, there is no replacement, and there is chaos in various places. Facing such worries, even His Majesty has to think carefully.

Bai Su looked at Sister Zheng, who was slightly frowning with willow eyebrows, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I object, this Tian family's move has crossed the line, the emperor committed the same crime as the common people, even if King Hui broke the law back then, he was still in exile. Is it possible that this little Tian family is more powerful than the royal family?"

"good."

Wang Jian also stood up after her. She clasped her fists and said, "My Daxia has established the country according to the law since ancient times. If you are innocent, you will be released naturally. If you are guilty, you should be severely punished. Otherwise, if you are not punished, the country will be ruined in the future."

These officials were stunned. They never expected that the general Wang Jian, who seldom intervened, would end up in person and choose to stand with Bai Su.

You know, Wang Jian is a wealthy family in Guanzhong, once she opens her mouth, the impact it will bring will be unimaginable.

Sure enough, the next moment.

All the military generals in the court stood up one after another: "I also object."

"I object."

More and more officials stood up, including civil servants and military generals, officials from the Shaofu, and even officials from aristocratic families who were supposed to be neutral, all stood on Bai Su's side one after another.

Originally, they wanted to come to one to overpower the few, and to overwhelm others with power, but they didn't expect that they would be reduced to a minority in a blink of an eye.

This made them feel at a loss for a while, how did Bai Su manage to unite so many people from different forces in the court into his camp.

How on earth did he do it! ! !

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

This sudden scene stunned many people in the hall.

Even Li Si and the others couldn't help but look at Bai Su in surprise, obviously a little puzzled, how did Bai Su persuade these people.

After all, it's nothing more than the support of Shaofu and others who are his henchmen, but why even all the aristocratic families in Guanzhong stood behind Bai Su one after another.

Sister Zheng saw Bai Su dressed in white and standing in front of all the officials, her phoenix eyes couldn't help being in a daze, thinking back then, when they met in Handan City, he was still dressed in commoner clothes.

In just a few short years, she has already gained a firm foothold in the imperial court, and she is already a pillar in the imperial court, and she is also a force that stands firmly behind her and supports her.

She couldn't help but secretly said in her heart: "Unknowingly, I have grown to this point, do I even need to rely on him..."

Bai Su didn't know what was going on in Sister Zheng's mind. He stood up at this moment and looked at the officials collaborating with Tian with a sneer: "You, as officials of the Great Xia, dare to openly violate the law and forcibly excuse the thieves."

"I don't know if the Majesty in your heart is in Xianyang or Linzi in Qidi?"

The official who was born in the Tian family suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly said: "Bai...how can Lord Bai talk nonsense and falsely accuse us? Although the Tian family is guilty, there may not be any hidden secrets in it. I just hope that your majesty can consider it." Be careful, so as not to misjudge Zhongliang and chill the hearts of the courtiers."

Bai Su sneered and said: "There are hidden secrets in committing such a heinous crime. According to your lord's intention, unless the Tian family seeks to usurp the throne and sit on the dragon chair, it will be a serious crime. This is the heart of your courtiers." ?"

"Bai...Master Bai, you're spitting blood."

Bai Su said solemnly: "Nonsense, what I said was obviously a beast, so how can I talk about people."

"You...you, you are just a street rogue, insulting gentlemen."

The official's face turned pale, and his fingers trembled.

Bai Su said, "Why haven't I seen it before? I'll stab your butt with a knife today to open your eyes."

Seeing this, Wang Jian couldn't help but burst out laughing, Bai Su's mouth is really too poor.

Sister Zheng also shook her head amusedly: "Bai Su, no nonsense is allowed in the court."

"Your Majesty, I know."

The corner of Bai Su's mouth twitched, he looked back at the sky outside the main hall, and said, "Just today I received Zhang Han's reply letter, the things have been sent to Xianyang, counting the time, it should be here soon."

Sister Zheng nodded and said lightly: "If that's the case, then wait."

"This... this..." The official's face suddenly turned pale.

It never occurred to her that Bai Su's gag completely disrupted their thinking, leaving them no time to react.

Facing this sudden evidence, they didn't know what to do for a while.

At dusk, the guards outside the hall walked in.

The guard cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the things have been delivered."

Sister Zheng waved her hand and said, "Bring it in."

Soon, under the gaze of everyone, things were brought in.

What came into view was a large amount of green salt, which was made by the Tian family. Besides, there were also various well-made armors. Looking at the black armor, the eyelids of the officials jumped wildly.

This Qi Guotian family is really, drinking milk to the bull, hard work.

I've never seen such a death.

Of course, the most breath-taking thing is a list searched from the Xiongnu merchants, which contains various detailed information on the transactions with the Qi Guotian family over the years.

"Snapped!"

The list was thrown to the ground.

There was a murderous intent in Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes, and she said coldly: "What a Qi Guotian clan, who trades green salt and iron armor with other races in private, and doesn't take me seriously."

The officials in the hall looked at each other, they never expected that Bai Su would actually come up with such strong evidence.

Now that the Tian family is finished, the music will be played and the cover will be covered. All the people in the village will wait for the food to be served.

This time it was obviously Bai Su who won.

Those officials who were in the wrong line just now turned pale.

"Your... Your majesty is terrified, please make amends. We have made contributions to Daxia and shed blood..."

All of a sudden, these people burst into tears and began to cry.

Anyway, most of them have made meritorious service for His Majesty and shed blood for the court.

The rest of the officials also began to plead for mercy,

There was a sneer on Sister Zheng's fair and pretty face.

These people take themselves too seriously. With the imperial examinations, the private schools have gradually stabilized, and there are channels for stable selection of talents. Now she doesn't have to look at the face of aristocratic families, and she doesn't have to worry about them quitting.

The reason why she didn't do anything was just because she lacked a suitable excuse. She really thought she was so important.

But even though he was disdainful in his heart, he still had to act out this superficial attitude of respecting his courtiers.

Sister Zheng said lightly. "I have already understood what you mean, but those who have made merit must be rewarded, and those who have committed crimes must be punished. How can I turn a blind eye to commit such a serious crime?"

There was a cleverness in everyone's heart, His Majesty is going to be serious.

"Tian's boldness, those who are related will eliminate the hereditary titles, those who collude with the thieves will be thrown into the dungeon, and will be executed after autumn. ..."

As Sister Zheng's voice fell, Bai Su stood up cooperatively, shouting that Your Majesty is wise, and did not give anyone else a chance to intervene.

After these officials listened, their faces were cloudy and uncertain.

With the downfall of the Qi Guotian clan, they were fined some of their salaries. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, it didn't have much impact, but it was too uncomfortable for Yantie to be completely controlled by the imperial court.

After all, this is their heart and soul.

But in the current situation, they didn't dare to say anything. If they spoke again, they would lose not only their salary and title, but also their heads.

Sister Zheng looked at the silent officials below, she couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, and a sneer appeared in her phoenix eyes: "Since all the love ministers have no objection, then follow what Bai Su said, and the salt and iron Changed to a government franchise..."

"The minister...takes orders."

For a moment, all the officials in the hall cupped their hands one after another, but some were smiling, while others looked like they were about to cry.

At this time, they all realized that the Qi Guotian clan was over, and the good days of the nobles from the six countries who once occupied one side were probably coming to an end.

Once salt and iron, like tea and porcelain, are directly controlled by the imperial court and implemented, it also means that the people will no longer have the financial resources to compete with the imperial court.

The power left by the nobles of the six countries will become weaker and weaker, and will gradually be pushed out of the stage of history.With Xianyang as the core, the county-level unified dynasty will become the only one.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the sleeping hall.

Bai Su cupped his hands towards Sister Zheng and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Sister Zheng gave him a blank look: "Is there any outsider here, why do you need to be so polite?"

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Bai Su with her phoenix eyes, showing a charming charm, which made Bai Su stunned.

Her white jade hands raised the blue hair between her eyebrows, revealing her snow-white neck, and she said immediately: "You actually did it."

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that Sister Zheng was talking about taking all the salt and iron that originally belonged to the aristocratic family for the imperial court's management. This was something she had wanted to do for many years but was unable to do.

After all, when the world had just been unified back then, it was already the limit to be able to collect all the land of the world in Xianyang and unify weights and measures.

Offended a large number of intellectuals and businessmen from the six countries, so naturally they can no longer do anything to the aristocratic family.

Now finally, with the help of Bai Su, taking advantage of this opportunity, the salt and iron, the last link of financial unification, is also taken back under the royal power.

Helped her complete the unification of territory, finance and taxation, writing, officialdom, and systems.

It can be said that it has completely transformed from the original farming and wartime system to a normal system for governing the world.

Since then, the political sister has turned into using the power of the people to support the people without hurting the people. She is no longer the same as before, relying on forced labor to squeeze people's power and accumulate public grievances.

It can be said that I really saw it, the first step of the foundation of eternal life.

Even Sister Zheng, who looked calm, couldn't hide the excitement in her heart at this moment.

She looked at Bai Su with her phoenix eyes, and asked, "Is this your idea of ​​governing the country?"

Bai Su scratched his cheeks, and said, "I'm just picking on the wisdom of others. From the three concepts of governing the country summed up by the sages, each has its strengths."

Sister Zheng asked curiously, "Oh, which three?"

Bai Su held up three fingers and said: "The first one is the rule of man, governing the country with benevolence, justice and morality to restrain the people. The advantage is that the people are simple and honest, which reduces the tendency of fighting among the people. The disadvantage is that they cannot concentrate their forces. Facing wars, disaster relief is powerless."

"The second is the legal system. Establish a unified system and rule the country according to the law. The advantage is that it can explode a huge mobilization ability in a short period of time. Whether it is war, disaster relief, or water conservancy construction, the ability is very strong."

"The disadvantage is that it is only suitable for special periods. Once the nerves of the common people relax, it will seem a bit inappropriate to control too many laws. It will easily make the people of the six countries in Shandong feel dissatisfied."

"And the third is to rule by doing nothing. The advantage is that it can conform to the will of the people. The monarch cannot force his will on the people, causing a burden, liberating the vitality of the people, allowing them to recuperate and resume production."

"However, the disadvantage is that if the imperial court does not interfere, the excessive freedom will only lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong. The aristocratic family will take advantage of the salt and iron business in their hands to continuously annex land."

"Once it grows to a certain scale, it will shake the foundation of the imperial court and cause chaos in the world."

"I combined the pros and cons of the three ideas, and concluded that as long as land, coinage, salt and iron, imperial examinations, household registration, grain, these key areas are always in the hands of the court."

"Don't allow those outsiders to get involved. As long as it can ensure the long-term peace and stability of the people in the world, those gentry and nobles are nothing to worry about. Other unimportant aspects of people's livelihood can be governed by doing nothing."

"Firstly, the impact on the world will not be great, and secondly, even if there is a problem, the imperial court can modify the law at any time and make adjustments..."

Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes lit up, she nodded lightly.

Bai Su's words touched her heart, these areas are indeed the foundation of a unified dynasty.

As long as these things are controlled, it means that the imperial court has established a direct relationship with the people at the bottom. As long as the common people can have their fields, there will be long-term peace and stability.

As for the aristocratic families in the middle, they became a replaceable part.

Use it if you are obedient, and discard it if you are not obedient. You will be directly kicked out of the imperial court's power system and slowly become lonely.

With the gradual stabilization of these systems, the influence of these aristocratic families on the royal power will become less and less.

Sister Zheng glanced at Bai Su appreciatively, and said inwardly, she deserves to be her own man.
