Chapter 818: clear the way
Chapter 818 Clear the way
How could Ji Muzhou be willing to give up his granddaughter-in-law's military power in Beijing? Although he didn't like women's wielding knives and guns from the bottom of his heart, Princess Shu has now become a big tree of Ji's family, a reliance, and even a facade , not to mention that she has always won the trust of her ancestors and emperors.
Just as he was about to dissuade him, Lin Jinshu looked at Ji Cen'an beside him affectionately, took a step ahead of him, and said with a warm smile to the emperor, "Your sister now has the flesh and blood of a son-in-law, so she should also withdraw from the court. Be a good wife and mother.”
Recalling Ji Cen'an's hard work by his side all these years, obeying him in everything, although he didn't say it, Lin Jinshu knew in his heart that he had some complaints to some extent.
Take advantage of this opportunity to reduce the jealousy of the imperial brother and at the same time satisfy the husband's wishes, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Jinxiao couldn't tell that she wanted to hand over the military power to protect the Ji family. Although he was reluctant to give up, it was not easy to go against her wishes.
"I agree."
Lin Jinxiao replied calmly.
Looking at her handing over a token and a soldier talisman as if she had prepared it long ago, Lin Jinxiao was very moved.
He handed back the seal for entering and leaving the palace to Lin Jinshu, and said in a deep voice: "Although you are the bride of the Ji family, you will always be my imperial sister. If you want to come back to the palace to see Look at the imperial grandmother and your brother and sister-in-law, there is no need to ask for instructions, the whole palace is still a place where you can come and go without hindrance."
"Thank you, Brother Huang."
Having received such an honor, Lin Jinshu's heart was filled with warmth, he was already satisfied, and he left resolutely with Ji Cen'an.
Looking at that heroic figure, Lin Jinxiao's mind kept echoing the great achievements of this girl.
At the age of fifteen, he led 5,000 cavalry to defeat the Bai Yu people and regained his hometown;
In the two years in the Northland, it was even more difficult for the Rongdi people to make any progress;
This time, helping him to destroy King Qinghe and save Jingling City from being slaughtered, everything filled him with awe and gratitude.
But when his eyes turned back to the members of the Yin family and the Ji family, anxiety was once again in his eyes.
While these clansmen were still around, he pretended to be long and gave Yin Liuxuan instructions: "Erlang, right now the land equalization policy has begun to be implemented all over the country, but the official land in the whole country is ultimately limited. The Tang family that was raided a while ago, All the land of the Yang family has been filled into the national treasury, you should be handy in presiding over the land equalization in Pingning Prefecture, and this matter will be entrusted to you to supervise."
The raid on Tang and Yang's family has always been sponsored by Yin Sinian. As early as in Luyan Port, he had heard that the Tang family alone owned millions of fertile fields all over the country, but this time, what he saw The accounts are less than 700,000 mu.
It is hard for Lin Jinxiao to imagine how much he was corrupted during this period.
Yin Liuxuan also heard some rumors when he was in Langzhou, and learned that the names of Yin and Ji were not included in the list of rewards drafted by His Majesty. He couldn't help but silently looked at his father, Yin Sinian, and didn't know what his father had done. .
But what made him very clear was that when the Tang and Yang parties were raided, his father must have tampered with it.
Now the emperor implements the new policy, one is to stabilize the government and benefit the people, and the most important point is to suppress the rich and noble families.
Everyone knows that the reason why the Tang family has become the largest wealthy family in the empire in recent years is to enclose the land to support the tribes, making the power of the tribes a private army that the imperial court fears and cannot control.
Since the emperor suspected this matter, he must not just watch his father and the Ji family follow in the footsteps of the Tang family.
Looking back at Lin Jinxiao, Yin Liuxuan replied decisively: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to let the people of the Li people rent the cheap official land allocated by the government."
"Very good."
Lin Jinxiao looked at Yin Sinian and Ji Huaishu again with deep eyes, then nodded with a gentle smile: "I believe that you have all read the official system reform policy written by the queen, and I also saw it with my own eyes in Langzhou this time. A prefectural examination is a feat never seen before in our empire since the founding of the dynasty, and please do your best to preside over a national examination in the spring of next year."
"Your Majesty has this great wish, and the old minister is very pleased."
As the current imperial lieutenant, Yin Sinian has recommended many disciples and cultivated many confidantes by relying on his authority over the years. He suddenly changed his recommendation to take the exam. He felt really uneasy, and solemnly persuaded:
"It's just that there are too many vacancies for the top and bottom officials of the imperial court at the moment. Please allow Your Majesty to recruit and promote a group of officials before the national examination."
"Then let the incumbent officials share more. Could it be that the court cannot function without the moth officials who have been dismissed?"
Lin Jinxiao scolded angrily, got up with a sullen face, and walked straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
At this point, my uncle is still thinking about cultivating party members, which is really disappointing.
Looking at the emperor who left angrily, everyone looked bitter, and faintly realized that the Dahe Empire was about to change completely.
Thinking of those little-known low-level poor families who have climbed to the ranks of generals or feudal officials overnight with their trivial achievements, they are deeply aware that the world of the empire will no longer be dominated by these famous families.
Out of the palace, the members of the Ji family went back to the mansion. Yin Sinian and Yin Liuxuan sat in their own carriage, and slowly headed back in their direction. Yin Sinian was always restless along the way.
Seeing his father's uneasy look, Yin Liuxuan further confirmed his conjecture, and asked weakly: "Father, can you tell your son from the bottom of your heart, did you hide many things when you raided the Tang and Yang parties? "
The question was somewhat tactful and reserved, but Yin Sinian understood his son's implication, and sighed with dull eyes: "Xuan'er, you have this question, but as a father, I don't know how to answer you."
After a moment of silence, he said truthfully: "Your Majesty wants to revitalize the country, get rid of the old system, and make a difference. It's not about the aristocratic family, but the foundation of the first emperor. If there is no power of the Tang family, the trilogy of the Tang family, I am afraid that the current court has already been ruled by the king of Beibin and the king of Nandu.
Furthermore, as a father, you have to think more about our Yin family. Right now, our Yin family can rely on our ancestors, but after a hundred years from our ancestors, what will happen to my Yin family? "
"Father is confused."
Yin Liuxuan frowned and said: "It is precisely because the rise and fall of the imperial court has always been dominated by these great families that His Majesty has made up his mind to cut down the power of the rich and famous families. My father should have understood this truth after assisting the late Emperor for decades. Raising private troops is not controlled by the court?"
Paused, he sighed deeply: "Land is food. With food, you can continuously expand your power. Does father also want to be the second Tang Yao who supports himself?"
"I"
Yin Sinian immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. After pondering for a long time, he finally compromised and asked: "In Xuan'er's opinion, what should our Yin family do now?"
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, fathers shouldn't worry so much."
Yin Liuxuan persuaded: "The purpose of His Majesty's new policy is undoubtedly to make this world more fair and just. Only by breaking the old system can this goal be achieved. Father is the most trusted person of the emperor's grandmother, and is also His Majesty's real uncle. Yizhu, if father doesn't take the lead in responding to His Majesty's policy, he will undoubtedly add obstacles to His Majesty's new policy."
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Father said, Your Majesty has already beaten Father and Ji Shangshu with the matter of the Eldest Princess. Since he has no intention of investigating the crimes of you and Uncle Ji, you should know how to follow the trend. Today, Princess Shu Taking the initiative to return the military power is to open the way for our two families. The most urgent thing is that my father should immediately dismiss the parts of the Yin family guarding the manor, return the hidden fields, and take the initiative to plead guilty to His Majesty."
After hearing what his son said, Yin Sinian began to fall into a dilemma.
This is no small matter for the Yin family.
It’s just that he also understands that the current emperor is no longer the former emperor, and the imperial court is no longer the former imperial court. In the end, the emperor can still decide the world.
Those who obey will prosper, and those who go against will perish.
"Think about it as a father."
