Chapter 175 The Rule of Aristocratic Family

It was already dark, but Xiao Chen didn't rest. Tomorrow would be the first morning court since he was enthroned, and he still had a lot of things to prepare for.

Sitting on the emperor is not only an honor, but also a responsibility and a pressure.

Fortunately, Di Renjie came to Luocheng, and Jia Xu was also taken into the palace by him. With these two people, he would undoubtedly feel a lot easier.

"Congratulations to your son for taking back the throne!"

Jia Xu and Di Renjie had just arrived at the imperial study room, and they quickly knelt down and bowed when they saw Xiao Chen who was sitting in front of the book desk and had already changed into his dragon robe.

Companion is like a tiger, although Xiao Chen has always been unassuming, but that was before.

Now that Xiao Chen is the emperor, they must also adapt to the change of their roles immediately, and some things can no longer be as random as before.

Xiao Chen also guessed what the two were thinking, so he did not stop the two from salute, which would make them even more panicked.

"Okay, two gentlemen, sit down!"

When the two of them finished the big ceremony, Xiao Chen smiled and let them sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two sat on their seats and waited for Xiao Chen to speak.

Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and asked, "Two gentlemen, I only ascended the throne today, and I still don't understand many things. Therefore, I invited the two of you to come here late at night, mainly to ask about things in the morning tomorrow."

Di Renjie and Jia Xu glanced at each other, then Di Renjie took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what you want to ask?"

Jia Xu is good at strategy, while Di Renjie is better at government affairs, so it is better for him to ask questions about the early court.

Xiao Chen leaned against the seat, playing with a delicate jade pendant in his hand, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Huaiying, you explained that in the early morning, what would happen if I wantonly slaughtered the old court officials?"

These officials in Da Zhou disappointed him very much. They were simply a group of cold-blooded people who ate vegetarian meals.

To be more precise, they are a group of running dogs of aristocratic families, and it is impossible for them to serve the court at all. Keeping them will only become their own constraints.

"This……"

Xiao Chen's words made Di Renjie a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer.

He could understand Xiao Chen's idea of ​​wanting to clean up the old court officials. To be honest, the upright Di Renjie also hated these officials, but reason told him that now was not the time to clean up these court officials.

"Huaiying, between you and me, you don't need to care so much, but it doesn't matter," Xiao Chen said with relief, seeing Di Renjie's hesitation.

Xiao Chen naturally trusts the people summoned by the system unconditionally, and these people are absolutely loyal to him.

Di Renjie got up, bowed to Xiao Chen and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it is not the time to clean up the old court officials."

Xiao Chen didn't have any mood swings due to Di Renjie's objection, but continued to ask, "Tell me what you think!"

Di Renjie said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and the foundation of the imperial court is weak. Although these ministers have low morals, they are the important pillars to maintain the operation of the kingdom. If they all die, I am afraid that the operation of the kingdom will be paralyzed in an instant!"

Xiao Chen nodded. At present, he only had two civil servants, Di Renjie and Jia Xu. If he really killed those people, there would be no one to help him run the country.

However, he was very unwilling to let these people corrupt the kingdom. Does he really want to let them go?

He now deeply felt the shortcomings of the lack of civil servants, and wished that the system would wake up immediately, and then summon a group of civil servants to serve him.

However, Di Renjie suddenly changed his words: "Your Majesty, although it is not feasible to clean up the courtiers, killing chickens to warn monkeys is still essential!"

Killing chickens to warn monkeys?

Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he instantly understood what Di Renjie meant, but he was a little embarrassed, killing chickens, what exactly do you want to kill those chickens?

"Your Majesty, this is part of the list of court ministers drafted by Wei Chen. You can take a look at it first."

At this moment, Di Renjie suddenly took out a list with the names of dozens of important court officials.

Xiao Chen had to sigh, Di Renjie is really an old fox!

This guy only came to Luocheng today, but he was able to immediately provide a place for a court minister. Obviously, he was not idle when he was in Lianyuncheng.

With such a minister who takes one step and sees three steps, he can feel a lot easier.

Even Jia Xu sighed that Di Renjie was prepared for a rainy day, worthy of being a famous official!

Xiao Chen took the list that Di Renjie handed over and browsed it carefully.

I really don't know if I don't see it, I'm shocked when I see it! Good guy, there are only three rank three officers on this, which is really full of weight.

The first-rank position of the Great Zhou Kingdom has always been a virtual position. Before the second-rank position, there was only one person, Yan Jilong. Now the highest rank in the court is the third-rank officer.

"Your Majesty, what this minister means is that for the time being, only the people above will be killed! As long as they die, the court situation can be stabilized for the time being."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chen glanced at Di Renjie in surprise. It seemed that this kind-hearted person was not a good person!

Jia Xu, who had never spoken, said, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. These people are the spokespersons of the three great families in the imperial court. When they die, it will be a huge blow to the three great families."

"Moreover, when the three major families are attacked, His Majesty will send a wrong signal to the Zheng family and other five small families: You want to rectify the three major families."

"In this way, these small families will feel that their opportunity has come, and they will definitely think hard to strengthen their family's power in the court."

"As long as these noble families cannot unite in the court, His Majesty can take care of them slowly while maintaining the operation of the kingdom."

"Is it an aristocratic family again? It's really all-pervasive! The court was actually controlled by them."

After listening to Jia Xu and Di Renjie's analysis, Xiao Chen muttered to himself and gained a new understanding of the power of the aristocratic family. As an emperor, he still had to use the conflicts between the aristocratic families to maintain the dynasty.

Di Renjie sighed and said: "Actually, the situation in our Great Zhou Kingdom is not bad, only the aristocratic family controls the government, and the sects do not participate too much. The situation of other kingdoms and even dynasties is even worse. The aristocratic sects rule the mainland. It's not true at all!"

Jia Xu also sighed: "In this world, martial arts are respected, and the aristocratic sects monopolize most of the exercises, martial arts, and cultivation resources, which makes many people choose to rely on them."

"Without the support of the family's sect, it is difficult to become a warrior. Even if you are lucky enough to become a warrior, your achievements in life are limited."

"So, the rule of the aristocratic family is actually the rule based on the monopoly of martial arts. If this monopoly is not broken, the rule of the aristocratic family will never be completely shattered."

Xiao Chen nodded, the temptation to become a martial artist was too great, if nothing else, it was just the fatal attraction of a huge increase in life, and there were a few people who could resist it.

After thinking about this, Xiao Chen suddenly had an idea in his mind. If he could popularize martial arts in the Great Zhou Kingdom, would the rule of the aristocratic family collapse?

The fourth will be a little later!
