by karlmaks — "Hmph, these people are too arrogant. Now, the only person the people of the Empire trust is the Emperor. Restrict the imperial power? Let these fat-headed, overbearing nobles control the power of the Empire? They're dreaming. Dad, you don't have to worry about this. This kind of gossip won't cause any major trouble. Now, the students in the academies are all very vigilant against these inciting words. If they want to harm the Emperor, we won't allow it!" Li Chengwan said loudly. "You're absolutely…

But there was no doubt that the common people really liked these welfare decrees. The birth policy that was introduced before was still a hot topic of conversation, after all, in all previous dynasties, the court never gave money to the people when they had children. "The old nobles are unreliable, but the common people are. So we must rely on the support of the common people for us. The…

by karlmaks — "This is what you deserve. Do you think I don't truly know what you're thinking in your heart?" Sitting down, Xiao Ming took a sip of tea and gave Pang Yukun a cold look. Pang Yukun laughed unnaturally. The issue of the distinction between the noble and the common was deliberately provoked by him, because he truly could not stand the actions of some of the old nobles. Secondly, while acting for the public, he also had his own selfish motives, because the officials who followed Xiao Ming from the…

by karlmaks — "This Ge Yiren is a fence-sitter. I have never understood why Your Majesty still keeps him." Li San did not have a good impression of Ge Yiren. Although he had no evidence that Ge Yiren had done anything detrimental to the Empire, his cautiousness always made him suspicious. "I don't want to keep him either, but this kind of person still has many uses. At the very least, his promotion of New Confucianism is effective. An ordinary person, whether a commoner or an official, would not accept the ideas…

by karlmaks — "Brother Ren, please speak." Sitting down in the main hall, Ge Yiren personally poured some tea for Ren He, looking as if he were all ears. Gently stroking his beard, Ren He said, "After such a long period of research, I have found that New Confucianism, compared to the former Confucianism, is nothing more than the removal of some dogmas from the three cardinal guides and five constant virtues. In addition, it also rejects the supernatural beliefs that are in opposition to science. Overall, the main…

by karlmaks — Ge's Mansion. Ge Yiren slammed the newspaper on the floor and stomped on it several times. He had thought that Wang Chengye's death yesterday would make Xiao Ming reconsider the harm caused by this government decree, but he never expected that Xiao Ming would be so resolute and would still officially announce this government decree this morning. "Elder Ge, do you see? The Emperor is clearly not giving people a way to live." Beside Ge Yiren, a middle-aged man in his forties was drinking his morning…

by karlmaks — Imperial Study. Lu Fei and Cui Shang'an had different expressions. They had just read the decree that Xiao Ming would announce tomorrow. "Your Majesty, this decree is truly brilliant. It evokes the spirit of the great clans of the six prefectures that Your Majesty and I once wiped out. I didn't feel much of this when I was stationed abroad, but now, after returning to Qingzhou, I've discovered how rampant these overbearing nobles are. Now it's time to deal with them." Xiao Ming laughed heartily.…

by karlmaks — Unknowingly, fine snowflakes fluttered down from the sky onto the earth. Looking up at the gray sky, Xiao Ming was filled with a sense of emotion. To him, another year had passed, and this was his fifteenth year in this world. According to the modern calendar, it should be the end of 1714, and unknowingly, more than ten years of the eighteenth century had passed. "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern. This son will keep it in mind," Xiao Ming said, comforting Concubine Zhen's worried…

by karlmaks — After leaving the Zhengda Guangming Hall, Fei Ji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although Fei Tong was exiled, and Fei Pei and Fei Yuhe might also be punished, at least he had clarified his relationship with Fei Pei in advance. So, in court, he was only reprimanded by Xiao Ming, and his official position was not shaken. To him, this was a blessing in his misfortune. He could see that this incident was orchestrated by Xiao Ming from beginning to end, with the purpose of "killing the chicken to…

by karlmaks — "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites cannot be abolished." Wang Chengye's body trembled as he shouted loudly. Xiao Ming grunted in anger. "Wang Chengye, do you think I don't know that you, Duke Tang, and Fei Pei are instigating the establishment of a private school for profit? As the Minister of Rites, you have not only failed to adhere to New Confucianism and remove the unnecessary folk rituals, but you have also been dedicated to deepening the gap between the children of the nobles and the poor.…
