Jin City, west of the city.
This was the most barren area in Jin City.
The entire north of Jin City was the area where the nobles of Xinluo lived. As for the west of the city, it was where the lowly commoners of Xinluo lived. Although Xinluo did not have a caste system like Tianzhu, Xinluo implemented a bone class system.
The so-called bone class system was a hierarchical system that used extremely strict blood relations as a bond to determine one's status. When Xinluo was first established, the nobles of Xinluo set a system that determined one's status and corresponding official ranks based on one's bloodline in order to maintain their rule.
That was the bone class system.
Different bone classes were not allowed to intermarry.
Bone grade was even more hereditary. The level of each bone grade would have the corresponding highest level of official position. Only when one reached a certain level of bone grade could they be granted a certain official position. Therefore, a person's official career was restricted by the level of identity in the bone grade system.
The first bone class was the holy bone class, which could inherit the throne. This was the royal family.
The second bone class was the true bone class, which was second only to the holy bone class. Then, there were the sixth, fifth, and fourth grades. From the true bone class to the fourth grade, these four grades of bone class could only be held by the nobles.
Every bone class was self-enclosed and did not marry each other. Mutual marriage could only occur between people of the same rank. For example, the royal family would always be the royal family. The true bone class would always be the true bone class and would never change.
Jin Yuzhen himself was of the true bone class. However, because Jin Yuzhen had once stayed in the Tang dynasty and even studied in the Sui dynasty as an international student, his horizons were broadened.
In fact, the biggest reason why Jinderman was able to ascend the throne as a woman was because of the bone class system.
Jinderman's blessing, King Zhenping, Jin Baijing, had no children.
Then, according to the bone class system of Xinluo, Jinderman succeeded the throne and became the first queen of Xinluo. When Jinderman died, because Jinderman did not have any children, it was his cousin, Jin Shengman, who became the queen of Xinluo.
However, there were exceptions to everything.
Jin Chunqiu was an exception.
Jin Chunqiu's identity was of the true bone class. Logically speaking, he would never be able to become the king of Xinluo. He could only be a minister in the court. However, in history, Jin Chunqiu had the support of Jin Yuxin. On the other hand, Jin Chunqiu was an ambitious person. Furthermore, after experiencing the two reigns of Jinderman and Jin Shengman, Jin Chunqiu had contributed to the destruction of Baekje and Goguryeo. He had made outstanding contributions and grasped great power. Therefore, he was able to become the first person in the history of Xinluo to succeed the throne as a king.
When one's power reached a certain level, it was enough to overturn the system.
This was just a special case.
However, the bone product system of Xinluo was eventually destroyed with the destruction of Xinluo.
However, in the current Xinluo, the bone system was still at its peak. Therefore, the people of Xinluo could only be ordinary people for the rest of their lives. People who were lowly people for the rest of their lives could only be lowly people. It was impossible for them to become an official.
Officials were destined to be officials the moment they were born.
Those who were not officials were born as lowly commoners.
Such a system existed. Although it was deeply rooted and made Xinluo stable, many people at the bottom were unwilling to accept it. This was especially so for some ordinary people who had become big merchants and rich people because of business. However, they were unwilling to do so.
In fact, some of the officials at the bottom were also unwilling to continue being at the bottom after generations of accumulation. They had the idea of climbing up.
Now that Jin Yuzhen had returned to Gold City, his intention was to contact all the forces that he could contact and win over all the people that he could win over. However, these people were all people that Jin Yuzhen was confident that he could persuade.
Jin Yuzhen sat in the hall and waited quietly.
One after another, people entered the hall.
After a long while, Jin Yuzhen saw that the hall was already filled with people. There were a total of 13 people. Jin Yuzhen looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Since everyone is here, I won't beat around the bush. Previously, I have already visited everyone one by one and explained my identity. At that time, because Xinluo had not taken action and we did not have a suitable opportunity, we did not take action. "
"Today, Jin Chunqiu led 40,000 elites north and went straight to Goguryeo in the north to reinforce Goguryeo. Now that Gold City is empty, it is our opportunity. "
Jin Yuzhen said, "So I think that now is the right opportunity."
Among the 13 people below, the leader was an old man. He said seriously, "General Jin, what should we do? Just give us the order. People like us have no hope of being promoted or can't get rid of our identities. Now that Emperor Xia is willing to go south to Xinluo and give us a chance, we are willing to follow Emperor Xia and work for him. "
The current Xinluo was extremely rigid.
The people at the bottom did not have the chance to be promoted, and the officials at the bottom could not be promoted either. This caused many people to be resentful. Therefore, with the appearance of Xia Xia, many people were willing to submit.
As the old man spoke, the rest of the people chimed in.
All of them were extremely excited.
Because until now, the bone grade system had already been formed. Only by breaking the bone grade system would they have a chance. If there was no external intervention, now that Xinluo's politics was stable and everything in the officialdom was as usual, even if the lower levels had thoughts, it was impossible for there to be any changes due to the situation. It was only now that Du Qi was approaching that there was a chance.
Jin Yuzhen had already expected everyone's opinions.
No one would be unwilling when it came to benefits.
This was something that everyone wanted to benefit from.
Jin Yuzhen said, "Everyone, now we have to deal with Jinderman and submit to Xia Xia. What we can do is to help His Majesty establish a favorable advantage so that His Majesty can seize Xinluo. What I'm thinking now is to deal with Jinderman. "
"Our plan is an assassination plan."
"Kill Jinderman."
"After killing Jinderman, there will be internal strife in Xinluo. In this way, we can take advantage of the situation to launch a mutiny. First, kill Jin Yuxin, and then take control of Gold City. Once Gold City is destroyed, we can support His Majesty in Gold City. "
Jin Yuzhen said, "We've already calculated our strength before. Each of the major clans, as well as the officials, could mobilize up to tens of thousands of soldiers. If Jinderman doesn't die, it won't be easy for us to move. But if Jinderman dies, we can act in the chaos and play a role in stabilizing the situation. "
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Wealth comes from danger.
Now, for the sake of power and to be able to break everything, they were naturally willing to do it.
Jin Yuzhen continued, "Everyone, what we need to discuss now is the assassination plan."
The old man who spoke earlier said, "General Jin, it's quite difficult to assassinate Jinderman! You must know that Jinderman has countless guards around him. "
Jin Yuzhen said, "I naturally know that it's difficult to assassinate Jinderman, but Jinderman will go to the Great Mercy Temple every month to offer incense and worship Buddha. Moreover, Jinderman's time to go to the Great Mercy Temple is fixed. It's the third day of every month. It's now the third day of the ninth month, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to assassinate Jinderman. "
In Xinluo, Buddhism was the state religion.
Especially the King of Xinluo. Under normal circumstances, he would use Buddhist titles as his title.
For example, Jinderman's father, Zhen Pingping, and even Jinderman's title, Shande, and Jin Shengman's title, Zhen De, all used Buddhist titles as their titles.
Especially the King of Xinluo. He always considered himself as Buddha and believed that he was the incarnation of Buddha. Even the members of the Xinluo royal family commonly used Buddhist titles, such as Madam Maya, Copper Wheel Crown Prince, Golden Dragon Tree, and so on.
In fact, this was similar to Later Zhou and Great Sui. They all believed in Buddhism, and Buddhism had penetrated all aspects.
It was the same for Jinderman.
Her title was the Virtuous Queen, which was also a title derived from Buddhism.
As soon as Jin Yuzhen's words fell, everyone's eyes lit up, and each of them had an additional look of anticipation in their eyes. In fact, many of them were already thinking of a plan to deal with Jinderman.
Many strategies had already been born in their minds.
If Jin Yuzhen had not pointed it out, they would not have thought of a plan to deal with Jinderman. But now that Jin Yuzhen had pointed it out, all kinds of plans kept appearing in their minds.
