The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 407: Self-Purification of the Bureaucracy
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around."
"One earl, three viscounts, and fifteen barons. Good, good, good, all great."
In the quiet study, Shen Yuanliang was furious. He threw the memorials on the dragon table to the ground one by one, venting his anger.
No one had ever seen Shen Yuanliang so angry. The palace maids and guards beside him were silent. Then a smart palace maid ran to the harem, and the whole Forbidden City was in chaos.
A moment later, Li Wan'er, wearing a phoenix crown and a long red palace dress, rode on the imperial carriage and came to the imperial study, escorted by many palace maids and guards.
"Your Majesty, they are just a few fallen nobles. It's no big deal, just like the sky has to rain and the girl has to get married."
Li Wan'er, with her bulging belly, picked up the memorials on the ground one by one, and tried to calm down the couple. Then she handed Shen Yuanliang a cup of hot tea so that he could calm down.
"Not only did they grant them fiefdoms, but they were also given numerous cultivation resources."
Picking up the teacup in his hand, Shen Yuanliang shook his sleeves and said angrily: "Such a great favor is not enough, and he actually colluded with the enemy country, the Qing Dynasty, and even stopped being a human being."
"That's unreasonable!"
If they really were guilty of corruption and bribery, Shen Yuanliang would only give them leniency after discovering it, considering their great contributions.
But this time it was different. The zombie bloodline was too tempting for many nobles who were nearing the end of their lives. Once the sticky rod was activated, countless people chose to fall.
Seeing one cockroach in your home means there are countless of them.
One earl, three viscounts, and fifteen barons, these are what have been discovered, and there are many more that have not been discovered.
"People have different talents. Some are stupid, while others are gifted."
Sitting upright on a round stool, Li Wan'er sighed and said, "The wonderful prehistoric world has a huge impact on people. They are unwilling to give up and want to give it a try. It is understandable."
In the past, the dream of immortality was out of reach. But now, in this vast wilderness, having seen the vastness of the world, who would be willing to perish?
Without good talents, there is no hope of becoming an immortal. There are more wolves than meat in the positions of gods appointed by the Immortal Court. As for reincarnation, after clearing my memory, will I still be "me"?
At this moment, all they need to do is be bitten by a zombie and obtain its blood. Even if they have no sense of taste or perception, nine out of ten people will make the same choice.
"There's no need to plead for them. They know the consequences of what has happened today."
With his hands behind his back, Shen Yuanliang walked back and forth with a frown on his face.
If they really wanted to achieve immortality and leave the Daqian Immortal Palace, Shen Yuanliang would just turn a blind eye. But now they are using the Immortal Palace as a bargaining chip to betray Shen Yuanliang, and all their past friendship has gone down the drain.
"I hope Your Majesty will only punish the main culprits. Their families are innocent." Touching the baby that was gradually taking shape in her belly, Li Wan'er said, "Just think of it as accumulating blessings for the baby."
They were all "partners" who had gone through danger together. Their families were frequent guests at court banquets, and many of them knew each other.
If they were to be killed one by one, the Daqian Immortal Court would be flooded with blood, and Queen Li Wan'er did not want to see this scene.
"Fine!"
Waving his hands, Shen Yuanliang had no choice but to agree.
Turning the jade ring in his hand, thinking about the corrupt nobles and bureaucrats in the Immortal Court, Shen Yuanliang continued: "Thousands of years have passed, which is just a game of chess for the gods."
"However, for humans, this is dozens of generations, which is too long."
In the past, the history of Chinese civilization was only 5,000 years. Dynasties changed and everyone competed to become emperor, playing a game of "you sing and I come on stage". The entire Chinese land was a big stage.
Now in the vast wilderness, many people have come from the mortal era, and their concept of time has not changed. In just a few thousand years, the aristocratic families that used to sweep the land have returned. The class has not changed, but the people have changed. They are like maggots attached to the bones, and they urgently need to scrape the bones to heal the wounds and return peace to the world.
"Brother Liang, you wouldn't..."
Before Shen Yuanliang finished his words, Li Wan'er knew what he meant.
"A dynasty has its heyday and its decline, and this is irreversible."
“Only by continuous innovation can we maintain a longer period of prosperity and delay the decline as much as possible, just like the ancestors of the revival of various countries.”
"It is time for Daqian to have a top-down reform, rectify the administration of officials, fight corruption and promote integrity, and get rid of the cancer that is sucking blood from us."
Nodding, Shen Yuanliang expressed his inner thoughts. For a moment, the entire imperial study was silent and even a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
A new dynasty was established, and interest groups, namely the bureaucratic groups, continued to expand. There were good aspects in it, but there were more impurities that polluted the pure team.
Just like a computer, you need to patch it and clean viruses from time to time so that it can run longer and more smoothly.
The same is true for dynasties. Once reform from top to bottom is impossible, revolution from bottom to top will begin.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing government's various measures to save the country, such as the Westernization Movement and the Reform Movement of 1898, were a reflection of the self-purification ability of the bureaucratic group. However, without strong support from the monarch, they failed.
After the failure, the angry people chose to decide the direction of the empire in their own way.
Violent uprisings occurred one after another, continuously bleeding the Qing Dynasty until this weak giant collapsed.
"alright."
Knowing that Shen Yuanliang had made up his mind, Li Wan'er said nothing more and just hoped that he would kill fewer people.
"Inform the uncle of the emperor, Qiao Feng, the head of the Military Control Department, and Bao Zheng of the Inspectorate."
Looking at the colorful sunset glow, Shen Yuanliang clenched his fists, then made up his mind, turned around, looked at Dongmei standing quietly beside him, and said, "Ask them to come to the imperial study."
"Here!"
Dongmei, a female official of the third rank, took the imperial edict and then came to Xicheng District surrounded by the imperial guards.
Occupying a street all by itself, the Prince's Mansion, which seems like a city within a city, appears before our eyes. The tall stone lions are majestic, and the gleaming copper nails on the vermilion lacquered gate tell of the glory of the Chen family.
On the black plaque, the five large characters "嘉建国叔府" were like the majestic Mount Tai. Military officers passing by dismounted from their horses and civil officials got off their sedan chairs.
"Squeak!"
The Prince's Uncle's Mansion, which had received the news long ago, now opened its main gate. Prince's Uncle Chen Qingwen led a large family to wait outside the gate, and a heavy atmosphere was in the air.
In the past few days, the city was full of yamen runners and imperial guards who were arresting people. Although Dongmei came to announce the imperial decree that as the emperor's uncle, the Chen family would be fine, it is better to be safe than sorry.
The Green Emperor Shen Yuanliang was like a huge sun, causing too much pressure on people.
"Da da!"
The rapid and loud sound of horse hooves rang out. Dongmei rode on the Jiaolong horse, followed closely by hundreds of imperial guards.
"Your Majesty has ordered that Uncle Xuan enter the palace immediately." (End of this chapter)
