Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 246: When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
At this time, the entire Qinzheng Hall fell into silence, and many ministers' eyes flickered, as if they were thinking about countermeasures.

In fact, everyone knew and understood what Shang Yang said!
But understanding and knowing does not mean that they agree with what Shang Yang said!

Because agreeing means handing over the power in your hands!

This is absolutely unacceptable to them and the families behind them!

Even many ministers who had just been promoted lowered their heads, full of resistance to Shang Yang's words!
Having tasted power and felt the flattery of others, how could they be willing to give it up?

They are unwilling to give up even a portion of their rights!

They have worked hard for decades and finally got to where they are today. If they were to hand over power so easily, then what would be the point of all their efforts?
The corruption of Northern Qi is still important and needs to be addressed immediately!
But the Northern Qi Dynasty has lasted for so many years, so it won’t be a problem for it to last a few more years!
It would be better to let them hand over their power after they retire or get tired of power!
Why can the people before them enjoy their rights until old age, but they have to give up their rights after only enjoying them for a few days?
They have all studied hard for decades, this is not fair to them!
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and took in the reactions of the ministers in the Qinzheng Hall.

Even though he had expected it, he still felt a little disappointed!
There are nearly a hundred ministers in this court, but not a few of them are loyal and honest!
At the same time, this also made him more determined to reform!
If the court he had cleansed was so dirty, how much dirtier would it be if it hadn't been cleansed?

The system of two prime ministers and six ministries must be abolished, and imperial power must be centralized!
Reform is imperative!!
"Mr. Shang Yang, since you said that the foundation of Northern Qi was already rotten and would fall within ten years, why did you still want to serve as an official? And why did you come to the Qinzheng Palace to say this?"

"But is there a way to revive Northern Qi?"

Zhan Doudou looked serious, and after saying this, he bowed and said, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Shang Yang!"

Although she knew this might be a play, every word Shang Yang said made her feel the same way!

Ever since she took power, she could clearly feel the imperfections of the Northern Qi system!

When Chen Luo told her that he wanted to reform, she didn't feel much. She just thought that Chen Luo wanted to consolidate the imperial power and avoid the previous situation!
But now after hearing what Shang Yang said, she understood!

The tree of Northern Qi was about to die. Even though a phoenix landed on the tree and brought some vitality to the dying tree, it could not stop the tree from dying!

The roots of the tree have rotted, this is a problem with the tree itself. If it is not resolved, even if hundreds of phoenixes fall, there is no way to stop the tree from dying!
Only by allowing the tree to grow new roots can the tree truly come back to life!

Seeing this, Chen Luo also bowed slightly and said, "I hope Mr. Shang Yang and Mr. Wang Xu can tell me!"

The emperor and the empress saluted one after another, and the ministers had no choice but to follow suit and bow even though they were extremely reluctant.

Shang Yang and Wang Xu, who had already opened his eyes, looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said without words!
The reform had to withstand tremendous pressure, which came not only from ministers who did not want to give up power, but also from the people's lack of understanding!
What they are doing today is telling the people of Northern Qi!

The reform was to make Northern Qi better and to enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment!
Although there will still be many people who don’t understand, this way there will still be many people who understand and support them!
After all, the people don’t care about the government’s politics. They only care about whether the reforms will benefit them and make their lives better!

"Shang Yang, a commoner, is making irresponsible remarks in this Palace of Diligent Administration. You should be prepared to be accused of spreading rumors and misleading the people, and be beheaded as a warning to the public!"

"I didn't expect that His Majesty and the Queen would be so reasonable. Not only did they not blame Shang Yang for his 'crazy talk', but they even asked for his advice!"

"If that's the case, how could Shang Yang keep it for himself?"

Shang Yang continued speaking, and immediately took out a booklet from his arms. The booklet was only the size of a palm, but as thick as a thumb, which showed how much was recorded in it!

After taking out the booklet, Shang Yang knelt on the ground and held it high above his head: "The policies for punishing the people have been fully recorded in the book!" "If Northern Qi wants to truly revive and become a powerful country, it must reform!"

"Abandon the old system, adopt the new system, train soldiers and horses, cultivate land and cultivate the way. In a few years, Northern Qi will surely sweep away its decline and become a powerful dynasty far surpassing Qing!"

Abandon the old system, start a new system, reform the law? ?
Although it was expected, when Shang Yang really said it, everyone couldn't help but gasp, even Shangshan Hu and Zhuang Mohan were no exception.

Suddenly, the Qinzheng Hall became noisy again, with ministers whispering to each other, and their voices were getting louder and louder.

"The Northern Qi dynasty has been using the old system of the previous dynasty for more than a hundred years. During this period, the Northern Qi dynasty has indeed declined, but this decline is more due to natural disasters than man-made disasters. How can this be blamed on the system? It's ridiculous!!"

"We court officials are dedicated to the country and have never hidden anything. The operation of the six ministries in the court has never gone wrong. You come up and deny this century-old system. What qualifications do you have?"

"Your Majesty, Queen, you must not listen to this man's words, and you must not carry out reforms!!"

"My Northern Qi Dynasty has lasted for a hundred years, and now we have the Queen, so it won't be a problem for us to survive for another hundred years. Your words are not only degrading the Queen, but also alarmist. The reform is absurd!!"

The ministers pointed at Shang Yang with ferocious faces, wishing they could rush up and tear him to pieces!

They really didn't expect Shang Yang to be so bold and actually dare to propose reforms!

what does this mean?
It means being an enemy of the entire Northern Qi court!

It is to make enemies with all the aristocratic families in Northern Qi!

They are enemies of the people of Northern Qi!
Accustomed to the old system and laws, and seeing the hope of living a better life, which citizen would agree to reform?
What if their lives become even more difficult after the reform?
Few people dare to gamble, just like few people will support reform!
Chen Luo frowned and swept his cold eyes over the ministers, scaring them so much that they immediately fell silent, not daring to even breathe.

"Where do you think this place is?"

"If you don't know, I will tell you!"

"This is the Qinzheng Palace, where we hold court in the morning and discuss important national affairs. This is not a street market, and certainly not a place for you to quarrel!"

"Your Majesty and I haven't even spoken yet, and you're getting anxious first!"

"Is it true, as Mr. Shang Yang said, that the reform has affected your interests?"

"But you have to think clearly. If Northern Qi is gone, what benefits will you have?"

"If this big tree of Northern Qi falls, will the bird's nest on the tree still be able to remain?"

"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?"

Chen Luo's cold voice echoed in the Qinzheng Hall, causing the ministers to lower their heads and dare not speak.
