Chapter 40(1/2)

With the prime minister taking the lead and the deputy rebelling, the officials inevitably began to fight in the internal strife.

Although many ministers were unhappy with Mu Zhi, no matter how unhappy he was, no one dared to stand up and oppose Mu Zhi.

After all, there is a prime minister in front of him.

The Prime Minister was not worried either.

After Mu Zhi expressed his intention to send him some guards to his masters, the Prime Minister confidently declined Mu Zhi's kindness.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the old minister. There are several servants in the old minister who have practiced the "Great Yin-Yang Sutra"."

Mu Zhi: "..."

There is a feeling that all the heroes in the world have been cut off.

The Prime Minister looked at Mu Zhi and saw that Mu Zhi did not feel any displeasure. He also contacted the young emperor's former personality, so he smiled: "Your Majesty, although Ding Mu Zhi's man-made disasters are the world, he is indeed full of courage to make such a magical power as the Great Yin and Yang Sutra public, and he is not as good as the minister."

Muzhi pursed his lips.

This feeling of being praised in front of others is really weird.

Hi, in order not to make the Prime Minister suspicious, I will also make a wave of commercial hype: "Ding Muzhi is indeed extraordinary. If I give me the magical artifacts like "The Great Yin and Yang Jing", I will definitely build a group of eunuchs to suppress the world."

"Your Majesty is wise, you can definitely feel at ease with the masters you train like this. The old minister has observed that these people who have practiced the "Great Yin-Yang Sutra" have no strong sense of fame and fortune. At the beginning, I wanted to entrust them with important tasks, but they all refused. They bask in the sun every day and patrol the mansion, and they lived very simple."

At first, the Prime Minister was quite worried that his subordinates would lose control.

Later he discovered that the salted fish had practiced the secrets of magical skills and had no subjective initiative at all.

But if this kind of person is used well, it will actually have miraculous effects.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to be relieved than to block it. Since the "Great Yin-Yang True Sutra" has become a fact that it is popular all over the world, it's better for us to increase our efforts."

The Prime Minister's proposal made Mu Zhi very interested.

"Continue talking."

When the Prime Minister was interested, he took the initiative to express his suggestions: "I think that if many positions in the court are too ambitious, they will have uncontrollable consequences. It is better to make a rule that if you want to be an official, you will kill yourself."

Mu Zhi's expression became very exciting.

Late~口, he really didn't have this idea before.

It turns out that it was my own person who stabbed the knife in the back to make him even more ruthless.

"Your Majesty, I am also planning for the country and the country. If you kill yourself and lose your ambition, you will not think about planning to usurp the throne. You can also use them with confidence."

The Prime Minister did not suggest that everyone kill themselves, but let many heads of sensitive positions kill themselves.

This is really inhumane.

Mu Zhi carefully considered this suggestion and decided to temporarily suppress it: "Forget it, I can't force others to kill themselves, and if they really kill themselves, they probably won't have the motivation to do things."

The Prime Minister thought Mu Zhi was pretending to be hypocritical, so he continued to suggest: "Your Majesty, even if you lose motivation, it is better than being full of ambition."

"I am now assessing all officials to remove the people who are in corpse and eat. If you ask me to recruit people who are in corpse and eat, why should I do such a big effort?"

The Prime Minister was stunned and then realized that Mu Zhi was not pretending to behave.

He looked at Mu Zhi in surprise, and the Prime Minister quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "It is my short-sighted person, not as thoughtful as Your Majesty."

He realized one thing: Mu Zhi really wanted to do it for the wise king.

After this wave of operation, Mu Zhi did not want to take over power, but simply to make the country better.

After realizing this, the Prime Minister's mood was a little complicated.

He has been a corrupt official for so many years. Could it be that he would be a virtuous prime minister in the last period of his career?

For the Prime Minister, his steps must be following the emperor.

The emperor was stupid, and he also followed suit.

The emperor loved money, so he followed him to be a corrupt official.

But if the emperor wants to be a wise ruler, he will also be a wise minister.

They have all become prime ministers, switching between black and white is just a basic operation.

"I understand Your Majesty's thoughts. From now on, I will do my best to make my Great Wu better." The Prime Minister found that Mu Zhi spoke very straightforwardly now, so he simply stopped hiding it.

Mu Zhi was very satisfied with the Prime Minister's statement.

"It's good if the prime minister has this intention. The old horse is in a stable state of ambition. I still want to create a good story with you, the king and the ministers."

The Prime Minister was a little excited: "I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high hopes. If Your Majesty has other instructions, please give me the order."

He felt that he was old and could not keep up with Mu Zhi's thinking.

It’s really troublesome to guess, and the way you talk is simple.

Mu Zhi met his request: "I will gradually eliminate a group of officials. I will not ask them to do their poetry and books, but only require them to have practical experience. For example, those who make decisions must be able to determine cases, those who do farming and farming must go to the ground and farming themselves, and those who make manufacturing bureaus should be able to use various weaving machines skillfully. I don't want scholars who only know how to do it. I don't want to let lay people lead experts and leaders be professional, but at least they should practice it themselves."

The Prime Minister was stupid.

After a moment, he reacted, his body trembling a little.

"Your Majesty, you want... to..."

He was stunned and didn't continue talking.

Muzhi helped him add: "I want to change the style of the imperial court in Dawu and reform the imperial examinations from the root."

Nowadays, the imperial examinations take the poems, songs, articles, and classics, and then you can become an official...

The proportion of practice is pitiful.

"Prime Minister, you have been an official for decades. You should be very clear that reciting poems and essays is useless to the court. A scholar with no practical experience becomes a parent official, which is a nightmare for the people."

The Prime Minister naturally knew this truth.

but……

"Your Majesty, in this way, all the scholars in the world will be disunited."

"No, at most, most scholars are centrifugal, and there are always some Confucian scholars who are united in knowledge and action. I will not kill them with one blow." Mu Zhi said that he was generous.

Prime Minister: "...Your Majesty, behind these scholars are the officials of the current dynasty."

What Mu Zhi wanted to move was the way for officials to be promoted, which involved the interests of all officials, and the prime minister felt that he could not withstand it.

Muzhi said that this is not a problem: "They dare not object to me."

The Prime Minister couldn't understand Mu Zhi's confidence: "Your Majesty, the rabbit is still biting people when it's anxious. They may really dare to stand opposite you."

"They don't have a chance."

Mu Zhi had predicted that this would happen long ago, just an emperor, but the ministers would not be able to change the emperor.

So he took the initiative to make these people take the poison.

It's not visible on weekdays.

Someone really did not do anything to him, so he sent him to meet his ancestors in minutes.

Looking at the confident Mu Zhi, although the Prime Minister did not know about Mu Zhi's poisoning, he vaguely realized that Mu Zhi was moved to killing.

He was a little chilling.

"Your Majesty, it's easy to kill people, but killing too many people will lead to chaos in the world. The scholars are unfaithful and all officials are unfaithful, and the emperor is alone."

By the heart, the Prime Minister's words are really for Mu Zhiyou.

But Mu Zhi didn't appreciate it: "If I stand with the people, the people in the world will not be disinterested."

"The people are ignorant."

"I will enlighten people's wisdom."

Prime Minister: "...Your Majesty, if the people's wisdom is activated, the imperial power will be in turmoil."

The Prime Minister is really trying to get his heart out.

The more knowledge you have, the more rebellious you are. This is definitely not just empty talk.

If the lower class people become smarter, it will become increasingly difficult for the country to govern.

Haven’t you seen that Lighthouse Kingdom has started to promote anti-intellectual education very early?

Mu Zhi wanted to do the opposite, and he was digging his own grave.

The Prime Minister was completely unable to understand.

But Mu Zhi plays slightly: "Prime Minister, I don't care about the imperial power."

Prime Minister: "..."

"Do it well, maybe you can put the imperial power in a cage on your own post." Mu Zhi encouraged.

The prime minister's legs were weak and he knelt directly on the ground: "I dare not."

"I'm not testing you, don't worry."

Mu Zhi felt that if he could personally train a group of revolutionary parties as the emperor, he would have a great sense of accomplishment.
