Chapter 545 Attitude towards change
"So, you just threw Li Miao to Guan Xing?"
Jiang Wan looked at Ma Su, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he seemed to understand Ma Su's cruelty.
Since Guan Xing came back from Nanzhong, his whole person has changed. In addition to his love of studying the naval forces, he also engages in torture every day.
And because of Guan Xing's illness, his opportunities to study naval warfare are limited. So the former servant devoted himself to studying torture.
Jiang Wan was frightened just listening to the torture. Li Miao fell into his hands, and he would most likely not be able to live in peace before his death.
"Are you not sure? If you don't make it clear that the Prime Minister and I just have different political opinions, we will have to fight when the court turns back." Ma Di shrugged, not caring at all.
Just because of the name Li Miao, it would not be too much to give him Ling Chi. If Zhuge Liang hadn't come forward in person in the end and demanded at most that he be exiled according to Han law, Ma Di would have killed him long ago.
Isn’t it funny? It was Zhuge Liang himself who finally saved the life of this clown who opposed Zhuge Liang...
"In short, although you dealt with someone who opposed the Prime Minister in time this time, the Chancellor is still unable to cooperate with your plan." Jiang Wan was silent for a while, and finally stood up and said to Ma Su,
"Without His Majesty's edict and the decree of the Prime Minister's Office, the Chancellor would not dare to make the decision on such a big matter."
"It doesn't matter, I will enter the palace tomorrow and confront the Prime Minister in front of His Majesty, and let Your Majesty make the judgment himself." Ma Di didn't take this seriously. Originally, he didn't think Jiang Wan would agree without Zhuge Liang nodding.
If you really want Shangshutai to cooperate, you have to deal with Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang. The key to this is Liu Chan's attitude.
If Liu Chan is unwilling to support him, he probably has no chance to reform.

After Li Miao was taken into custody by Tingwei, the news quickly spread throughout the government and the public. After roughly figuring out Li Miao's fate, all the officials who were ready to make a move stopped trying to cause trouble.
Let's all break up. Master and apprentice are having a quarrel because of different political opinions. It's useless for us to get involved.
In a very short time, the commotion in the court subsided. Officials in various ministries once again calmed down and worked honestly, and people's hearts stabilized again.
While suppressing the petty thoughts of some officials, Ma Di also came to the palace. In the palace in Chang'an, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang were already waiting for him.
"You Chang! You're here." Zhuge Liang saw Ma Di and raised his brows slightly.
"How is Li Miao? As a hussar general, he cannot kill people at will without obeying Han law. The most he can be charged with is demotion..."
"Prime Minister, don't worry, I know all this and won't kill him." Ma Su replied, which made Zhuge Liang take precautions.
There was no way, Zhuge Liang spent more than ten years to promote the influence of Hanfa. If Han law is openly undermined this time because of a villain who slandered him, it will be difficult to work in the future.
After all, although Zhuge Liang was a Confucian scholar, he was a Legalist at heart. He is more inclined to follow the law together and keep order among the big men.
This is why in history, even though Li Yan was such a bastard, he still gritted his teeth to save his life, and in the end only gave him an exile.
Moreover, the place of exile is still Jiangzhou, the base camp where Li Yan has been running for many years...
After repeatedly admonishing Ma Su, Zhuge Liang brought the topic to the most critical aspect at the moment.
"So what does Ma Aiqing mean? I really don't understand." Facing Zhuge Liang and Ma Di, Liu Chan didn't have any airs and said the truth directly.
"I have little talent and knowledge, so I would like to ask my father-in-law to give me some advice."
Zhuge Liang also did his part, nodded slightly and said,
"The changes you Chang mentioned are the streamlining of the current imperial bureaucracy and the merging of ministers with the same functions into one place in order to improve administrative efficiency."
"Isn't this a good thing? I also feel that there is some chaos in the court. Shangshu Ling Jiang Qing also complained to me about the noisy and busy work." Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang with some confusion and asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, it is not easy to change the court. Every slight change may trigger an undercurrent." Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and patiently explained to Liu Chan.
After all, this is the center of a country, and the various forces are entangled, making it difficult to straighten things out. Even one or two small personnel changes may cause problems, let alone Ma Su's large-scale adjustment of the official system.
Therefore, in Zhuge Liang's view, Ma Su's system is indeed good, but the best option is to wait until the world is unified and the fault tolerance rate is high. When the time comes, he will slowly straighten out the court and complete the reform step by step.
After Zhuge Liang explained it, Liu Chan seemed to understand. It looked like even though I couldn't understand it, it felt very advanced.
"So what is the Prime Minister's attitude towards this?"
Liu Chan's words made Zhuge Liang silent for a moment. Finally, he cupped his hands and said to Liu Chan,
"Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is something that must be done right now, so in order to prevent accidents, I am opposed to carrying out changes now."
"But in the final analysis, I was entrusted by the late emperor to assist His Majesty. So if Your Majesty is interested in this matter, the Prime Minister's Office will have nothing to say!"
Zhuge Liang has made his attitude clear and disapproves of this, but if Liu Chan thinks it is feasible, he will never stop him.
With Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Chan basically understood in his heart. Then he looked at Ma Su again and asked the hussar general for his opinion and attitude on this matter.
"Your Majesty, I am different from the Prime Minister on this. I believe that since this matter has been discovered, it must be resolved as soon as possible."
"If we don't solve it while the composition of the court is not too complicated now, will this matter still be solved after countless Kanto clans are absorbed in the future?" Ma Di said seriously, his tone much firmer than Zhuge Liang's.
"Especially now that the court almost revolves around a few of them. If there is any accident, no one will be able to solve the chaos caused."
"So Your Majesty, I believe that the changes must be completed now no matter what."
If the changes are carried out now, even if the court is in chaos because of this, with Zhuge Liang and Ji Han's four ministers holding the line, and Ma Su sitting outside, everything will still be stable.
But if Zhuge Liang's plan is followed, the world will be unified and changing. It is not clear how many veterans will be alive by then, and the changes will be more complicated. It is really uncertain whether the changes can be completed by then.
The world has been in chaos for a long time. If there is another chaos after unification, what is the difference between this Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty in history?
Therefore, Ma Su had a very firm attitude towards this, and he had to start changes immediately no matter what, even if he risked his life!
