Chapter 489 "Helpless Shot"... Hit you, pain in my heart!
"Grand Master Hong, it's fine to establish the religion of original sin as the state religion. But I ask Grand Master Hong to think twice about the two things of 'population statistics' and 'land measurement' again. Every time the country's 'population statistics' and 'land measurement' , will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. Since I have already done 'population statistics' and 'measurement of land', why do I need to do it again now, wasting manpower and material resources? And... this is not conducive to stabilizing people's hearts, it will make The people are uneasy!"
It was Sun Jizu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who said this.
The Dagan Dynasty had six departments: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment.
Although on the surface, the six departments have equal status.
However, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the assessment, appointment and removal of officials. Invisibly, it has a higher status than the other five ministries.
Sun Jizu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and his status is high, which can be seen.
Speaking of which, before Hong Xuanji was promoted to grand master, he was Minister of Rites, and his status in the court was not as high as that of Sun Jizu.
Sun Jizu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, opposed the order that even Emperor Qian Yang Pan had to think twice before acting.
In particular, Sun Jizu has another identity besides being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He is a descendant of the Sun family, a sage family, and is also equivalent to the representative of the Sun family in the court.
Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, don't consider the attitude of Sun Jizu, you have to consider the attitude of the Sun family.
At this moment, Sun Jizu's eyes were a little cold.
He didn't care that Ning Que refined the emperor Yang Pan into a puppet. Anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, it is the same for a family of saints like the Sun family.
He also didn't care that Ning Que established the original sin religion as a national religion... It's just a demon sect, and their Sun family didn't pay attention to it at all.
However, Ning Que wants to "count the population" and "measure the land", and also specifically stated that no force can stop it... This violates the fundamental interests of their aristocratic families.
Aristocratic families, powerful families, and sage families, which one does not have thousands or even tens of thousands of servants?
The imperial court has a limit on the number of servants of aristocratic families... The number of servants of these aristocratic families is almost far beyond the limit. How could they allow the court to count the population and then have to release the extra servants?
You must know that the farming, commerce, housework and other affairs of these aristocratic families all need these servants to manage them. Moreover, these servants are also the power and resources they control, and they are also one of their backgrounds.
Therefore, if the imperial court wants to seriously count the population... In the eyes of those aristocratic families, this is to cut their flesh and harm their interests.
As for "measuring the land", those aristocratic families would even more disagree.
For thousands of years, every aristocratic family has been trying every means to annex more land, just like greedy monsters, never satisfied, never stop.
To this day, the land owned by each wealthy family is far more than ten times, hundreds or even a thousand times...or even more than the land that really belongs to them.
The imperial court wants to "measure the land" again. Is this intending to take away all the "fruits" they have obtained through "hard work" for thousands of years? How can this be possible?
The interests of the family are paramount, this is the idea that almost every child of the family has been indoctrinated since childhood.
Sun Jizu is a son of a serious family, so he immediately stood up to oppose the "national policy" set by Ning Que. It seems that even if Ning Que slapped a large number of officials to death, he couldn't scare him anymore.
Even, when he spoke, he even insinuated, with a hint of threat.
"Master Sun's words are very true. Grand Master, please think twice... The Hong clan where Grand Master belongs to is also one of the aristocratic families. Why do you have to make things difficult for your own people?"
"Extremely opposite... Our Dagan Dynasty is in its prime, which means that there is nothing wrong with our previous government orders, and it is not impossible for the Grand Master to take over the government, but there is no need for any new policies. As long as Xiao Guicao follows, We will naturally become more prosperous if we work **** the dynasty."
"The hearts of the people in the world are at peace, and the grand master must be careful, and don't make some actions that will make the people feel uneasy... This is also for the sake of you, the grand master, to manage the world smoothly!"
"The noble families and the sage families are the foundation stones of our great efforts... The grand master takes charge of the government and regulates yin and yang, and we should win their support, so that the world can be ruled..."
…
After Sun Jizu spoke, Fan Zhenggong, Wang Kaishan, Ji Shangfang and other important officials of the court, as well as nearly a hundred officials, spoke one after another, half persuading and half threatening to make Ning Que give up the plan of "statistical population" and "measurement of land".
These officials are all descendants of aristocratic or sage families.
Many officials from poor families watched the show from the sidelines.
To tell the truth, they also admire Ning Que's courage, dare to touch the tiger's whiskers of the aristocratic family and the sage family... You know, even Emperor Qian would not dare to do such a thing.
Before they thought about it, Ning Que was probably going to back down this time.
After all, the power of the Daqian noble family and the sage family is too powerful... Not to mention those ordinary noble families, but only the sage family is enough to make people frightened.
In the Middle Ages, although not all of the hundreds of sages that appeared have family inheritance, there are also many sage families that have declined in history, and even eventually disappeared.
But there are at least dozens of them that have been handed down to this day.
The addition of dozens of saint families who are not inferior to the Holy Land, this power is too terrifying, it has the power to reverse the world and change the sun and the moon.
What's more, behind these dozens of sage families, there are countless aristocratic families supporting them.
With such a huge power, they didn't believe that Ning Que dared not give in.
Facing the crusade by Sun Jizu and nearly a hundred officials from various aristocratic families, Ning Que looked at the humble officials watching the show, and his face was always calm, with a smile on his lips from beginning to end.
"The power of the noble family and the sage family is indeed huge...but these people don't know that the times have changed.
Since the Middle Ages, when all the sages reduced the personality of the Human Saint Emperor from the ninety-nine supreme to the ninety-five supreme, none of the subsequent dynasties could compare with the dynasties established by the holy emperors before the Middle Ages There has never been a more powerful emperor.
Even, even the emperor who reached the realm of the Creator never appeared again.
The Great Zhou Dynasty before the Dagan Dynasty, its founding ancestor the Great Zhou Dynasty Taizu, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, was nothing more than a strong man of the Five Tribulations.
When the Dagan Dynasty was established, even the emperor was restricted by the Mengshenji. He could not practice Taoism to advance to the ghost fairy, otherwise he would be hunted down by the Mengshenji...
And during this period of time, it happened that the cultivation civilization in the Great Thousand Worlds declined, and as a result, there were no masters above the level of the Creator in the six holy places... until the appearance of the Mengshenji.
The times have changed. Ever since Mengshenji, Hong Yi, Yang Pan and others have been promoted to Creator, the situation of this world has changed. Any one of these people already has the power to sweep away the family. No matter how huge the power is, in front of these people, the castle on the beach will collapse if pushed... Unfortunately, these people haven't realized this yet...
Of course, in the original book, neither Mengshenji, Hong Yi, nor Yang Pan really took action against the aristocratic family...but I will not 'indulge' them.
Since the power of the aristocratic family and the sage family is so great, it is just a **** for me to set off this catastrophe. Even if they don't want to make a move, I will force them to make a move.
If they don't act, will the world be completely in turmoil? How could it form a catastrophe that swept across the world?
I, Ning Que...what I want is turmoil in the world! "
Ning Que sneered in his heart, but the smile on his face became more "gentle". It seemed that he felt like a spring breeze.
"Hahaha, no matter how strong you are, Hong Xuanji... you still have to compromise with our aristocratic family in the end?"
Seeing that the smile on Ning Que's face became more and more "gentle", Sun Jizu and nearly a hundred officials from the aristocratic family smiled smugly. They thought it was a sign of Ning Que's compromise.
This made them very proud.
Ning Que even dared to refine the emperor Yang Pan into a puppet, even Li Shenguang, the crown prince, Prince He, Prince Yu and others were taken away, and even dared to slap dozens of officials to death...
But they had to compromise with family officials like them.
How much sense of accomplishment is this?
"Hey, that's true. Even a powerful grand master like Hong still has to compromise with the aristocratic family?...The noble family and the sage family are indeed something no one can afford to offend."
In the Golden Luan Hall, those poor officials who watched the show, after seeing the "mild" smile on Ning Que's face, also showed expressions of "as expected".
Obviously, they also thought that Ning Que was about to compromise.
It's rare to see such a strong man who dares to take action against the interests of the aristocratic family... but finally compromised. Many officials from poor families couldn't help but feel a little "disappointed".
"Ahem, Mr. Sun, and everyone, the Grand Master is now in charge of the government, and the orders he issued are almost equivalent to imperial edicts!"
Ning Que still had a smile on his face, and suddenly asked Sun Jizu and other family officials.
"Since the emperor has said that Grand Master Hong is the one who has the final say, it doesn't matter if your government decree is an imperial decree... However, the imperial decree is not important. If you want to stabilize the court, Grand Master Hong, you have to win the support of the major families." !"
A family official said, with a deep arrogance in his tone. Even at this moment, when he looked at Ning Que, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"That's right, Grand Master Hong, you have just taken over the government, and the situation is not very stable... But if you have the support of the big families, everything will be fine. The so-called 'those who lose their way will get little help, but those who have gained much help'. Teacher, what kind of person do you want to be?"
"The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together... This world is the emperor's world, but it is also the world of the scholar-officials. Master Hong must know where the scholar-bureaucrats mainly come from. Whoever can get the full support of the scholar-bureaucrats... is the real master of the world . Grand Master Hong is a smart person and should know what to do."
"Hahaha... I think Hong Taishi simply revoked the two decrees of 'population statistics' and 'measurement of land'. We are all a family, harmonious coexistence is the most important..."
…
One family official after another spoke, as if they were victors.
Even, some people have spoken very blatantly, almost declaring that the real masters of this world belong to aristocratic families. If you want to gain the ruling power of the world, you must please the aristocratic families.
"Hey, everyone is embarrassing this Grand Master. You have also said that the decree I am announcing now is equivalent to the imperial decree... But why, you just don't respect the imperial decree! Aren't you forcing me to kill people?"
Ning Que withdrew the "mild" smile on his face, and suddenly became "extremely sad", as if he "couldn't bear" to attack his colleagues. However, his right hand was very resolute, crisp, and ruthless towards Sun Jizu and the others. Shoot out with one palm.
"Boom!"
Following Ning Que's slap, in the void of the Golden Luan Hall, one after another heavenly palaces floating in the white clouds emerged, and each heavenly palace holy place seemed to have fairy rivers hanging upside down, fairy mountains, and palaces inside. Continuously, it seems to be the arrival of the thirty-three days when the gods live in the legend, with a magnificent momentum and great power.
"No--"
Sun Jizu and others did not expect that Ning Que, who was smiling more and more "gentle" in the last moment, would be ruthless in the next moment.
Looking at the suppressed thirty-three Heavenly Palaces, their eyes showed despair and fear.
If Ning Que had killed him from the very beginning, they might not have such a reaction of fear and despair, but would only "sacrifice generously".
However, Ning Que's gradually "mild" smile misunderstood all of them, making them think that Ning Que was about to compromise.
This is equivalent to giving them hope.
But now Ning Que gave them despair.
Give hope first, then despair... This reversal came too fast, and it was completely beyond the expectations of Sun Jizu and others.
They were not psychologically prepared at all, and the crisis of death came to them in an instant, which made them unable to help but feel fear.
Of course, even so, Sun Jizu and others did not stand still.
They all used all kinds of Taoism to attack the suppressed thirty-three heavenly palaces.
It's a pity that all their Taoist attacks were crushed by the thirty-three heavenly palaces in an instant. In the end, there was a huge rumbling sound in the entire Jinluan, Sun Jizu and nearly a hundred family officials were all hit by thirty heavenly palaces and holy places, and all of them exploded into blood under the witness of many poor family officials.
In the center of the hall of the Golden Luan Hall, there is a huge palm print.
The palm print was several meters deep, and it was filled with bright red blood.
"Dead...dead, Mr. Sun and other family officials are all dead!"
In the Golden Luan Hall, all the humble officials looked at the blood-filled palm prints, almost all of them had dull eyes and blank heads, as if they had all turned into petrified statues.
"Miserable! Lord Sun, Lord Fan, Lord Wang, Lord Ji...you all died so badly! Seeing you die so terribly, my grand master is really heartbroken! You are all the pillars of the court, I don't know Deserving to die like this... But, why do you resist and disobey? Resisting and disobeying is a capital offense, and this Grand Master has no choice but to take action! Hey... This time, I have no choice but to take action. It really hits you and hurts my heart. !"
Ning Que looked at the blood-filled slap prints, "sorrowful", "sighed", and was "in pain". He wiped his face with his sleeves, trying to wipe away the tears from his eyes... Uh, it seems that there are some tears missing, not true enough, but It doesn't matter, he is a professional. He grabbed the void with his right hand, absorbed the water vapor in the void, gathered a stream of water on his palm, and then wiped the stream under his eyes with his hand very "seriously". Yes, the "pain" is real enough.
Many poor officials watched this scene with their eyes helplessly, watching the grand master who was "distressed" and "crying bitterly" on the chair, their scalps were numb, and a cold air suddenly came out of their bodies. Cool from head to toe.
