It was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made the old officials of the Sui Dynasty anxious and stunned, and they were all speechless.
The Feng royal family was deprived of everything, which was natural.
You have already abdicated the throne, what else do you want with all that power and wealth? Being an ordinary family honestly is the best way to save the lives of your family.
But...but...but...
The new emperor, Wu Tie, the king of Wu Kingdom, actually issued an order to deprive all civil and military officials of the old Sui Dynasty except the Xiahou family and the other three generals.
All the heads of feudal states were deposed as common people.
All dukes, marquises, counts, viscounts, and barons were deposed as common people.
All the fiefdoms of the king and the nobility will be taken back to the state. All their fixed assets, except for those luxurious and huge mansions, manors, summer villas and other buildings, other fields, pastures, forests, medicinal mountains, pastures, etc. Fishing grounds, mines, etc. were all taken back and became state-owned.
All former kings and nobles who have been deposed as commoners are strictly prohibited from keeping slaves, buying maids, guards, etc. Like the Feng family, everything must be done by themselves and hiring workers is strictly prohibited.
Of course, if they have legitimate businesses, such as pharmacies, wineries, restaurants, etc., they can normally hire pharmacies, doctors and medicine boys, winery winemakers and waiters, and hotel chefs and waiters.
However, these employees must be paid on time and in accordance with the salary standards set by Wu State. They are strictly prohibited from providing additional, redundant, and outside of their duties services to the employer outside of their own duties.
It's like if you open a hotel and there are waiters and cleaners in it, then these waiters and cleaners can only serve in your hotel. If you let these hired workers step into your own residence and provide cleaning and cleaning services for your own residence, then it is a violation and you will definitely be severely punished!
In Wu Tie's words - common people should look like common people.
As soon as the edict came out, the entire circle of powerful people in the Sui Dynasty almost exploded.
Evaluations such as "faint" and "tyrant" are spreading like a plague in certain circles.
When the tens of thousands of veterans of the Sui Dynasty were driven out of the imperial city of Wudu by the Five Elements elves wielding spears, it is said that many of the veterans screamed hoarsely, like cuckoos crying for blood:
"With this move of King Wu, aren't you afraid of the chaos in the world?"
Sitting in the Tianwu Hall, Wu Tie was happily ordering a banquet to celebrate the arrival of Xiahou Wuming, the Xiahou family and the three generals. At the same time, he was preparing to bestow meritorious officials and promote all the original civil and military officials of the Wu Kingdom. I immediately heard the complaints from these veterans of the Sui Dynasty.
Wu Tie's taunting sound spread throughout Suidu with the wind, and then, after being blessed by the Qianyuan Divine Bell, it spread like rolling thunder throughout the cities and villages in a radius of trillions of miles.
"Without you guys, Sui Chao will be in trouble?"
"Oh, it's so funny. Now the Sui Dynasty is in chaos and the nine kings are rebelling. Isn't it enough to stir up trouble?"
"That is to say, I will be uneasy with or without you. What does the king want you idiots to do? Do you want to get paid?"
"Compared with you, I trust these old ministers who have followed me all the way across the sea from Wu Kingdom... They have worked hard for so many years, and they should receive adequate rewards."
Tens of thousands of old officials of the Sui Dynasty were choked by Wu Tie's words.
Yes, with or without them, the Nine Kings rebelled, and the world of Sui Dynasty would have been in turmoil. In this case, why should these old officials stay in the court
Even Wu Tie ordered to abolish their titles, seize their fields, etc., but what could they do
"Exalted rank!" An old minister gritted his teeth and pointed out the most fatal key.
According to legend, the Xinhuo Formation is completely controlled by Wu Tie, and the sacred artifact of the country, the Qianyuan Divine Bell, is in Wu Tie's hands. There are three hundred powerful masters around him. Most of the monsters and enemies in the four directions have become senior monsters. Witch iron eagle dog.
Wu Tie has the strongest military force in the world.
Who dares to disobey
Who dares to rebel
Above Wudu, the huge light door is still open, and the evil shark-like black battleships are still gliding out. Countless giant soldiers stood in mid-air, their eyes like scarlet will-o'-the-wisps. Above Suidu, there were at least tens of millions of giant soldiers staring at them coldly.
These officials of the Sui Dynasty have all seen the terrifying power of the laser beams from the eyes of the giant gods.
If tens of millions of giant divine soldiers attack at the same time, I am afraid that only senior beings can barely resist it. These Sui Dynasty ministers, no matter what they are as 'gods' or 'gods of kings', they are guaranteed to die. .
In Wudu City, as well as around Wudu, in the territory that has been directly controlled by Wu Tie's army, the prefectures and counties, as well as the feudal kings, were all disbanded under the intimidation of Wu Tie. The private army issued guards and honestly curled up their minions.
However, in places beyond the control of Wu Tie's army, many powerful people such as country leaders and state leaders gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and directly surrendered to the rebellious Nine Kings, and joined forces with the Nine Kings.
But just overnight, when Wu Tie was still having a banquet with many ministers of the Wu Kingdom in the imperial city garden, an old monster of senior rank made a surprise attack. The nine princes of Sanding, Sanshun, and Sanxing rebelled from top to bottom. , the whole family, young and old, were all captured by these senior old monsters.
The nine anti-kings were tortured in public, their innate aura was shattered, their souls were completely destroyed, and there was no possibility of reincarnation.
The relatives of the nine rebel kings were all demoted to official slaves and banned from cultivating. From now on, they had to work in government-run factories and workshops to atone for their sins.
Under the shock of the supreme power, the armies under the Nine Kings all laid down their weapons and quietly waited for the Wu Kingdom's forbidden army to come and collect them.
What awaits them is harsh identification and punishment.
All rebel soldiers who participated in the massacre, no matter their origins or status, were inevitably stabbed in the neck.
Those officers who have committed minor crimes will be incorporated into Wu State's auxiliary army to assist Wu State's main army in combat.
As for the civil and military officials and local powerful men who followed the Nine Kings in rebellion, officials led by Huang Lang naturally convicted them one by one. No matter how big or small their crimes were, they were bound to be deprived of all their power and wealth. Those who committed big crimes would be beheaded, while those who committed small crimes would be exiled. Not even a little bit of wealth would be left to them.
The actions of the senior monsters directly calmed down the people who were shaking.
The nine kings were executed, and the people were no longer afraid of war.
The enemy countries on all sides were destroyed, and the border suddenly became peaceful.
The old aristocratic system was completely destroyed, and Wu Tie even ordered to cancel all the old debts and loans. The people of the Sui Dynasty and now the Wu Kingdom felt inexplicably lighter.
Maybe, in the future, the 'adults' above me will treat me better
At least, it won't be more difficult than before.
The enemy countries on all four sides have been wiped out. In other words, there is no need to serve the border army so tightly, right? My man, you don’t have to worry about never coming back after traveling, right? My little grandson no longer has to worry that one day he will never see his father again
If there is no need to fight, all kinds of taxation and corvee will be much easier.
Although the Sui Dynasty was originally very wealthy, the lives of the people at the bottom were, to be honest, just average. After all, the constant battle with the monsters and monsters on all sides would consume such supplies at an alarming rate
These expenses originally fell directly on the shoulders of these common people.
However, Wu Tie pacified the enemy countries on all sides, and all the monsters and monsters were eradicated at once. The materials that were originally consumed on the battlefield can be used on the people.
Home expenses can become much more generous.
When expenses are sufficient and materials are abundant, we can spread our branches and leaves with all our heart and work hard to reproduce future generations.
In this way, the population will increase.
When people are more densely populated, there will be enough manpower to open up more land and increase more output.
As long as Wu Tie and his civil and military ministers are not stupid enough to exploit the people through excessive levies and deprivation of water, the prosperous life of the Wu Kingdom after the merger will soon become lively.
In the back garden of Wudu Imperial City, Wu Tie raised his wine cup high and toasted a glass of wine to the ministers of Wu Kingdom with a smile.
He looked at those familiar faces with a smile.
Zhao Tuo, Li Guang, Xiang Feiyu, Xiang Feixie, Huang Yu, Li Ergouzi... and Li Xuangui, Yuan Qilin, Kong Chengqi, Meng Buyan, Mo Yun, etc...
The original generals of the Jin Dynasty, the original aristocrats of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the surrendered civil and military officials of the Great Wu Dynasty...
Hey, when Wu Tie was in the land of the Three Kingdoms, he also thought about deposing all the high-ranking generals and nobles in one fell swoop.
But at that time, how could Wu Tie have such power
At that time, Wu Tie had to rely on the power of these generals and nobles if he wanted to pacify the old lands of the Three Kingdoms.
Everyone had to compromise, discuss, and carefully test each other's bottom line, and finally reached the conditions for the unification of the Three Kingdoms. Wu Tie, the most suitable candidate, picked the final fruit.
Only Sui Chao, this behemoth, was defeated by Wu Tie completely relying on his own strength and luck.
Therefore, Wu Tie can do whatever he wants to the old officials of the Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, Wu Tie can carve out the originally huge Sui Dynasty as much as he wants.
From top to bottom, except Xiahou Wuming and the other three generals, all other civil and military dignitaries were deposed... Wu Tie was willful, but he had the confidence to be willful and he had the power to be willful.
Absolute power brings absolute power.
At this time, Wu Tie can really do whatever he wants in the huge Wu Kingdom!
After drinking the wine in the glass, Wu Tie smiled and nodded.
In the eyes of those ministers of the Wu Kingdom, he saw conviction, submission, and the most unwavering loyalty.
The old officials of the Sui Dynasty, including the rebellious Nine Kings, and the civil and military ministers under the Nine Kings, were all fat and powerful chickens.
These ministers of the Wu Kingdom are just mountain monkeys who are still a little out of touch, and may still have some distracting thoughts in their hearts.
When those big fat chickens who were stronger, more powerful, and with deeper knowledge than these mountain monkeys were killed in front of them, these mountain monkeys became very well-behaved and obedient... They suddenly understood that Wu Tie today, He is no longer the Wu Tie he was back then.
It would be good for Wu Tie now to have their help.
But without their assistance, Wu Tie was still the aloof and unshakable King of Martial Arts.
More than three hundred senior beings... are enough to maintain Wu Tie's dominance in the entire Wu Kingdom.
Therefore, including the most rebellious and unruly member of the clan of the Wei Dynasty, they all bowed their heads obediently and got rid of the last bit of unwillingness and reluctance in their hearts.
In the back garden, the auras of the many civil and military officials of the Wu Kingdom suddenly changed.
They were like a red-hot sword embryo taken out of the furnace. Suddenly it was dipped in the cold spring water of thousands of years. With a 'squeak' sound, all impurities and distracting thoughts were washed away, leaving only Strands of pure, flawless pure thoughts.
Strands of pure thoughts emerged from the hearts of these civil and military officials and attached themselves to Wu Tie.
Wu Tie suddenly had a very strange feeling. The civil and military ministers of the dynasty were like an extended part of his limbs. He could move these ministers like his arms and fingers.
As long as he has a thought, these ministers can burst out the most powerful power and thoughts in their lives to carry out any order of Wu Tie.
There will be absolutely no discounts and absolutely no hesitation.
At this moment, they had completely become Wu Tie's diehard loyalists.
"Everyone, we share this great country... we protect this great human race!"
Wu Tie stood up and raised the wine cup again.
All the civil and military ministers of the court stood up one after another, with clear eyes and without any distractions in their hearts, they raised their wine cups and bowed solemnly to Wu Tie.
Two female officials wearing smart clothes and carrying swords at their waists walked over quietly and whispered something into Pei Feng's ears.
Pei Feng's pretty face froze slightly, and she whispered something into Wu Tie's ear.
Wu Tie was stunned, smiled and nodded to the civil and military ministers in the back garden: "The king has important matters to deal with. My lords, I have already planned your promotions and rewards. Pei Feng will present them to you." As soon as it is announced... I, the king, will leave the table for the time being, and you must return home enjoying yourself."
After drinking up the wine in the wine cup with a smile, Wu Tie patted Pei Feng's palm, shook his body, and disappeared silently.
In the back garden, all the ministers of the Wu Kingdom bowed deeply to Wu Tie's seat and said, "Best farewell to your majesty!"
The next moment, Wu Tie arrived at a hall in the northwest corner of the imperial city.
All directions here are guarded by masters of the god realm among the five elements elves. There are a large group of wizard elites patrolling the outside, and there are more than a dozen senior wizard elders guarding in the dark.
The Great Avenue Furnace is standing quietly on the roof. At this moment, this hall is the center of the entire Xinhuo Pass Formation. Any outsider who wants to get close to here will be frantically attacked by the Xinhuo Formation, even if they are at the peak of their rank. existence, the strength will also be suppressed to the ordinary god realm.
Such a defensive power is really the strongest defense that Wu Tie can produce now.
In the main hall, Miwu sat on a big chair with a smile, crossing his legs and looking at the twenty or so people lying limply on the ground.
Among the more than twenty people, eighteen were extremely handsome young men and nine were beautiful and charming girls.
They all looked at Mist in shock and anger, and cursed him vaguely.
Wu Tie strode into the main hall and looked at these men and women coldly: "Your Highness Misty, are they the clones of the Wisdom God Clan who came to Sui Dynasty? Are they not trying to take your credit?"
Miwu hurriedly stood up from the big chair and saluted Wu Tie respectfully.
"Your Majesty, you are here... They are my tribe... They are all bad-tempered, and none of them are good... Just do something evil to them and kill them. It will only be good for me, and there will be no harm at all!"
Miwu smiled happily: "Your Majesty, the avatars of all the people of our wisdom clan on this continent are here."
