Chapter 2344 The Emperor and the Saint(2/3)
Then one after another aristocratic families rebelled.
You must know that this is a serious crime that kills the nine tribes.
Usually they really want to rebel, and they are also the first to drive away the bandits, and the thieves go to plot rebellion.
Instead of facing the consequences personally.
The so-called rebellion is often charged because of failing to take sides during the fight for inheritance rights.
But now, it is a real rebellion.
Give people food, money, weapons, and take care of things personally.
The Wang family in Zhongzhou, the Liu family in Xiliang, the Zhao family in Eastern province...
One by one, the famous families began to rebel.
The imperial court also went from being at ease in the beginning to being perfunctory and unable to move.
At this moment, it seems to be the time for Shang and Zhou Dynasties to communicate.
It's still the version of Fengshen Yanyi: relying on only one Wen Taishi to fight and quell the rebellion.
The current emperor, too, can only ask the prince and grand master to lead troops to attack everywhere.
But even so, he was still stubborn and refused to issue an imperial edict to sin against himself or acknowledge the ten-year period.
They even intensified their efforts to eradicate Confucian temples in various places.
Wen Rensheng believed that he must know the reason why the family rebelled:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! My ancestor was in the underground world and was attacked by the saint.
Can we not let our descendants work quickly in the earthly world?
As for the descendants being disobedient?
First, there are always people who are obedient.
Second, descendants will also come down in the future.
There are so many aristocratic families, and if only 10% of them are obedient and rebellious, that's fine.
But this obedience is extraordinary.
Start in the southeast, northwest, and at the same time.
"It seems that the emperor is going to be doomed this time." Many people among the scholars gloated.
"Yes, this situation is comparable to the last years of troubled times."
"That's right, the family is so powerful, how can the emperor balance it?"
However, what surprised them was that they were a little confused at first.
But as magistrates, magistrates, governors, and governors in various places began to slowly exert their efforts to hold on.
The rebellious troops of one big clan after another were restricted to the local area.
Then they were wiped out one by one by the imperial court's counter-rebellion army.
Everyone was stunned.
"This is impossible. Haven't the aristocratic families already infiltrated the imperial court? Why do those governors, governors, and prefects still listen to the imperial court?" someone asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, why are you hanging on to everyone? Don't you think about your own death?"
"Wait a minute, only those Jinshi are alive after death, and many of them are only alive, but this doesn't make sense. Many of them are members of aristocratic families. Why do they serve the court like this?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Only Wen Rensheng took a closer look and understood the clues.
Those bureaucrats were all changed by the emperor!
Yes, the world that the founding god came to was filled with demons, so he also used a cheating device.
Probably he was enlightened by what he did before he was promoted.
I understand the true meaning that cheating feels good for a while, cheating always feels good.
So he locked in the loyalty of the core bureaucrats!
It's not that he doesn't want to lock everyone in, it should be that the rules of this world are still relatively strong and can only make minor modifications, not major ones.
As a result, the loyalty of bureaucrats in the core areas was locked up.
There is no lock on the loyalty of those messy marginal areas or unimportant officials.
Or it can't be locked.
So this way.
Things are going to be fun.
The saint exerted his strength in the underground world, but in the end he couldn't resist the emperor's cheating in the above-ground world.
Ordinarily, this should have been a period of chaos in the Three Kingdoms.
Family groups unconsciously promote civil unrest.
Taking advantage of the civil unrest to force the emperor to open D prison.
It's fine now, but the emperor forcibly suppresses it.
And the most important thing is that the people did not mobilize.
Most of the people can still survive, and more than 40% of the people own their own land.
Therefore, except for the common people controlled by the noble families, most of the peasants will not follow them.
And those people who rebelled had very little initiative. They were just coerced. If they didn't follow the rebellion, they would seize the land.
However, when the imperial court ordered that the family's land be confiscated and divided among the rebels, the coerced tenant farmers naturally rebelled one after another.
Traitors abound.
As a result, one rebel clan after another was put down and killed.
They were slaughtered and the land was divided equally.
"The emperor's methods are too high!"
"Yes, it seems that the aristocratic family cannot shake the emperor's foundation this time."
But Wen Rensheng understood it clearly.
"Hahaha, the saint's methods are better."
"A saint is a saint. If you don't see one step and think three steps with this wisdom and brain, you are not worthy of being called a saint."
"Of course, saints are often not good at strategy, but good at following the right path."
"I'm afraid he had no choice but to come up with such a strange plan. Someone must have done it on his behalf."
Yes, Wen Rensheng understood.
This is the saint deliberately reducing the power of the aristocratic family...
What is rebellion?
To put it bluntly, it is the largest entrepreneurial venture in ancient times.
If you succeed, you will gain more than 200 years of wealth and royal family prosperity, as well as the most important reputation and incense.
If it fails, the entire family’s assets and population will be cleared.
The risks are huge and the costs are huge.
So we are not afraid of the second generation having fun, but we are afraid of the second generation working hard to start a business.
We are not afraid that the second generation will be heartless, but we are afraid that the second generation will be complacent.
Starting a business for a rich person is tantamount to charity for the poor.
After all, money doesn't disappear for no reason, it just moves from one place to another.
Originally, landlords, rich people, and wealthy families locked up food, land, and money in compounds, high walls, and caves. Now, they can take it all out.
As military pay and rewards, it is given to soldiers and generals.
Obviously the wealth has been greatly diluted.
The purpose is to gain greater wealth, the whole world.
However, if the business fails, the wealth will not be recovered.
The land has been divided among others and it is impossible to get it back.
The excess population was consumed.
Wen Rensheng smiled.
This is really interesting.
