At this time, Cheng Yaojin was still chattering to himself.

He wanted to take the credit for discovering a talent like Ma Zhou. He was so familiar with it that he and Ma Zhou were almost brothers.

Li Shimin read all the memorials and was extremely excited.

In fact, he has been looking for a way to completely suppress the family. Although the current policy is effective, it will take many years before it can finally be effective.

And he thought he wouldn't live that long, and if he couldn't see results, it would be troublesome.

now.

Ma Zhou's suggestion was too in line with his thoughts.

However, it also made Li Shimin sweatdrop from behind.

Even he, the emperor, was frightened when he saw the contents of the memorial because it was too scary.

Abolition of the hereditary system and restraint of clan members and nobles would be equivalent to interrupting the lifeblood of aristocratic families and tying them up with ropes.

This move is much more severe than the imperial examination.

Li Shimin had never thought about this move before, because he didn't dare to think about it at all, and even if he had thought about it, it just passed by in a flash.

No matter whether they are old or new aristocrats, they are all nobles or clan members. They are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but after two or three generations, they become the worms of the Tang Dynasty.

When the time comes, Datang will support them and allow them to carve up Datang and divide the power of the Tang royal family.

Today's old aristocratic families are the nobles of the past, and the new noble families will follow him to conquer the world, and they will also become the old aristocratic families in the future.

Sooner or later, it will become a worry for the Tang royal family, so we must find a way to permanently solve these worries.

It is too cruel to abolish the hereditary system.

But I have to say that after thinking about it, Li Shimin felt that this effect was very significant.

It's just that it will be very difficult to implement, even hell-level.

Even if Ma Zhou proposed it, he could not accept it easily, otherwise, it would probably cause him irreparable losses.

Aristocratic families would fall apart and do many things that harmed the interests of the Tang Dynasty. This was not a situation Li Shimin wanted to see.

and.

This matter will also affect the interests of many new nobles. For example, Cheng Yaojin, who is talking eloquently in front of him, will definitely object immediately if he knows the content of the memorial.

Maybe after this incident, he will find an excuse to make Ma Zhou disappear from the world.

Li Shimin hesitated. He wanted to implement it, but the time was not right yet.

"Ahem, Duke Lu, I understand what you mean. You can go back."

"Ma Aiqing is a talented person. I plan to have a chat with him alone."

Cheng Yaojin still didn't understand what happened, but he was still surprised that Li Shimin avoided him and chatted with Ma Zhou alone.

He was even more eager for the content in the memorial.

However, he finally said goodbye and left.

Everyone left, leaving only Li Shimin, Ma Zhou, and the old eunuch.

Even the palace maids were not allowed to stay, and the guards outside the door spread out, staying more than a hundred feet away.

At this distance, if Ma Zhou was to assassinate, he would have to rely on the old eunuch and Li Shimin to seek their own blessings!

Li Shimin stood up and helped Ma Zhou up, flattering him.

"Ma Qing's family, how feasible do you think this method is?!"

"Your Majesty, as long as you approve it, this law can be implemented immediately."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed.

Ma Zhou continued: "However, I do not recommend doing this immediately."

Li Shimin said: "Oh? Then when do you think it is appropriate?!"

Ma Zhou said: "When I am strong enough and your Majesty's prestige reaches its peak, you can implement it."

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ma Zhou's words coincided with his.

but.

He worried that after Ma Zhou gained power, he might not have the courage and willingness to propose the abolition of the hereditary system.

Ma Zhou seemed to have expected it, and said: "Your Majesty, I have not written the date for this memorial, only the name. Your Majesty will keep it. After three years, if I have some ability, I can implement it as much as possible."

Li Shimin said: "Okay, okay, Ma Aiqing, you are the minister of Humerus of the Tang Dynasty. I intend to appoint you as the Secretary of the Central Committee. When you make some achievements, I will appoint you as the Secretary of the Central Committee."

He was of the third rank, which may not seem like much, but in fact he had great power, and he had access to the emperor's imperial edict, which was of great help in promulgating decrees.

As for Zhongshu Ling, he was the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Today's Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others all once served as Zhongshu Ling.

It can be said that if Ma Zhou became Zhongshu Ling, he would be on an equal footing with Wei Zheng and others!

Ma Zhou's heart was on fire. He didn't expect that Su Chen was right and he could really achieve success.

After this move is put forward, it will be able to rise to the top and soar into the sky. It turns out to be true.

Even though Ma Zhou was extremely smart, he never thought that he would take off so quickly, and he was excited at this moment.

but.

He still acted very calmly because he wanted the emperor to know that he was worthy of such a great responsibility.

If he would be happy with a small favor, Li Shimin really wouldn't dare to reuse him.

As expected, Li Shimin saw Ma Zhou looking slightly happy, but he suppressed it very well and felt satisfied.

No matter what Ma Zhou was thinking, he still saw his dedication to serving the country.

Giving Ma Zhou enough power and status can be considered a reward!

Li Shimin said: "Ma Aiqing, what else do you want?"

Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty, I have a few more measures. I hope your Majesty can agree to them."

Li Shimin said: "Let's take a look."

Ma Zhou lowered his head and whispered a few words. Li Shimin's eyes lit up, but he didn't finish listening and just played.

The next day.

During the court meeting.

Li Shimin announced at the time that Ma Zhou would be granted the title of Giusi Shizhong, he would be appointed censor, and he would be granted the title of official of the San Dynasty.

Everything else is fictitious, but in the end, it is a real position of power, and it is a high-ranking official.

The civil and military ministers were stunned.

They could not accept the sudden promotion of a little-known official from the ninth rank to more than ten ranks.

Immediately, some people expressed opposition. Even Wei Zheng stood up and opposed it. He even suspected that Ma Zhou was flattering and wanted to kill Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou immediately appeared in court, threw out some of his own ideas, and talked so eloquently about the major events of the world that the civil and military ministers were confused.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Zheng asked a few questions and received satisfactory answers. He immediately looked at Ma Zhou in a different light.

Cheng Yaojin knew Ma Zhou's abilities and was the first to stand up to support him. His move also announced to the world that he had a close relationship with Ma Zhou.

Some people oppose it, and some people support it.

In the end, Li Shimin made a decision and gave this to Shizhong.

Wei Zheng and others had no objections, so the matter was settled.

Three days passed.

Ma Zhou wrote a letter asking the emperor to be filial to the emperor, to offer sacrifices to the late emperor, and to be filial to the still living emperors and concubines.

This move was unanimously approved by the ministers of civil and military affairs. Wei Zheng and others even praised Ma Zhou for his virtuous behavior as prime minister and that he could become prime minister in the future.

Li Shimin naturally followed the instructions. After all, his father was dead and it was okay for him to cry every day.

If Li Yuan is still alive, that won't work.

Therefore, he agreed, and his filial image was established. The ministers of civil and military affairs also felt that the filial piety of the Tang Dynasty had been supplemented.

For this reason, Ma Zhou is highly recognized.

In the next half month, Ma Zhou introduced a large number of policies, which were supplements and improvements to many current policies.

His ability was recognized by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and he suddenly became a hot rising star.

All parties are trying to attract each other, and they are coming in droves.

Ma Zhou had both sides and enjoyed it.

A month has passed.
