Chapter 45: Above the Court (I)
The sixth year of Xiping, August 16.
Deyang Palace, this is the largest palace in the North Palace, tall and majestic, it is said that Yanshi City, which is forty-three miles away from Luoyang, can see the Deyang Palace and the Vermilion Bird Que Yu Yu and the sky.
This is also the place where Liu Hong went to the early dynasty.
Like most office workers, no one likes where they go to work, so Liu Hong doesn't like the palace of this magnificent palace.
It's just that today, there is an important debate competition here, which is related to the future fate of his big Liu family, and he has to come here.
Of course, the topic of debate is a constant theme: who is the real pillar of the DPRK and China?
First of all, let's introduce the players who participated in today's competition.
Positive, partisan.
Positive argument: Tai Wei, Qiao Xuan.
Two arguments: Sikong, Yuan Kui.
Three arguments on the positive side: Si Li's school captain, Yang Qiu.
Four debates on the positive side: Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, and Wang Yun.
Positive off-site assistance: Guangluxun Liu Kuan, Shangshuling Liu Tao.
Cheerleaders: The rest of the idle people among the hundreds of officials present.
Positive substitutions: Captain Yang Biao, Infantry Captain Liu Na, etc.
On the opposite side, the eunuch faction.
The opposing side argued: Da Changqiu, Cao Jie.
The second argument of the opposing side: Zhongchang Waiter, Wang Fu.
Three arguments of the opposing side: Doctor Taizhong, Duan Cheng.
Four arguments of the opposing side: Shaofu, honest and loyal.
Opposing Cheerleader: None.
Counter substitutes: Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, lieutenant Jian Shuo, etc.
Mysterious guests: Lu Ying, Cao Cao, Chen Kang, etc.
Judging from the lineup, it seems that the strength and power of the positive side are stronger than the number of opponents, but the referee of this debate match, Liu Hong, is obviously a black whistle standing on the opposite side.
"Kaichao!" Cao Jie's sharp voice spread throughout the court.
See? At first, it was shouted by the opposing personnel.
Therefore, this time it can actually be regarded as a close "battle"!
"A few days ago, the earth cow turned over and warned the heavens, what do you think?"
Liu Hong was the first to speak.
This is a disaster launched by God, that is, God's wrath, and God is naturally the greatest, so it should be the first to be debated.
As Liu Hong's strength dogleg, how could Cao Jie let go of this opportunity?
As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, Cao Jie picked up Liu Hong's words and said:
"Your Majesty is the king of the Holy Ming, working hard, the national strength of the Han Dynasty is thriving, and the people have enough food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment! How can it be a warning from heaven when the earth cow turned over before? ”
"According to the minion, that is heaven, and it is a great affirmation of His Majesty's talent!"
Liu Hong originally intended to shirk the responsibility, but when Cao Jie said this, he was a little confused, and asked hesitantly:
"I heard about the previous incident, and a lot of people died!"
Cao Jie laughed and responded:
"The minions have already investigated, this time the cattle turned over, mainly concentrated in the Taihang Mountain Range, there are many bandits in this area, all of them are people who do not work on farmland and do not respect the law of etiquette, they are simply innocent!"
"God, for the sake of Your Majesty's business, help Your Majesty punish these people who don't respect Your Majesty!"
After Liu Hong heard this, his brows gradually relaxed.
In the past few days, I have been unable to sleep peacefully because of this "warning from heaven", and I never thought that now in Cao Jie's eyes, this is not only not a "warning from heaven", but "auspicious from heaven!" ”。
Not only is there nothing wrong with you, but you have merit????
is worthy of being his favorite man..... Person.
However, Cao Jie's statement can naturally only comfort the imbecile Liu Hong, and he still can't deceive others.
For example, the party factions on the positive side.
Qiao Xuan was just about to step forward, but Lu Zhi, who was upright, took the lead.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please think again! This time the earth cow turned over, it is really a warning from God, if you don't take the right strategy, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty! ”
Liu Hong stared at Lu Zhi for a while, and then asked coldly:
"Then, Aiqing might as well talk about what is the opposite!"
Lu Zhi raised his head, looked at the person at the top of the Jinluan Hall, and said without flinching:
"Six strategies to deal with the warning from heaven!"
"First, use virtuous and virtuous, let the state and county approve the virtuous and appoint, and appoint them according to their talents."
"Second, prepare for the Hou Wang's house to prevent chaos."
"Third, cultivate the body and recruit talented and virtuous people like Zheng Xuan."
"Fourth, Zun Yao, conduct a performance appraisal of the history of the county guard on time."
"Fifth, Your Majesty, put an end to vices such as setting up banquets and asking for help."
"Sixth, forbidden, give more amnesty to those who are party members."
At this time, Qiao Xuan and Yuan Kui stood up together, knelt on the ground, and said loudly:
"What Lu Yilang said is timely, please think twice!"
After Liu Hong heard this, he was a little impatient, but at this time, he couldn't do it all by himself.
Cao Jie's people said it was so good before, what did you jump out for?
Besides, I also withdrew a third public!
At the moment, I didn't want to be entangled again, so I answered perfunctorily:
"I have already paid attention to this matter, Taiwei and Situ please get up, and I will adopt Lu Aiqing's six strategies in the future."
Then, Liu Hong's words changed, and Fu began to say again:
"Today, there is another matter, Taizhong Doctor Duan Aiqing said that he has something important to play, everyone is here today, it is better to discuss it together!"
Hearing this, Taizhong Doctor Duan Cheng also walked out, waved his sleeves, bowed respectfully in the hall, and put forward his first small topic today!
"Your Majesty, minister, please send troops to fight the thief!"
"Oh? Aiqing, please tell me more. ”
Liu Hong, who was sitting on the top seat, waved his hand, although he already knew what Duan Cheng was going to say, but he still had to go through the motions.
"Your Majesty, when the first emperor was here, he was often worried about how to exterminate Qianghu, and sent troops several times but could not complete the battle."
"Now Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Ages! In recent years, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou have been invaded by foreign races several times, occupying our country's land, and the people are not living well, and they are full of complaints! ”
"At this time, if Your Majesty sends troops to fight, you will definitely be able to destroy Qianghu and win a complete victory! Raise my great Han national prestige! ”
"Therefore, I beseech you, Your Majesty orders the expedition!"
Duan Cheng said very level, first of all, the old emperor first eliminated Qianghu, but because of his lack of ability and the lack of commander, he often sighed because he couldn't strangle Qianghu.
But you're different! You are a rare Ming Jun of my Han Dynasty, what the old emperor can't do, you can definitely do it.
It's a rainbow fart, and it's a comfortable thing to shoot Liu Hong!
Can you, Liu Hong, disagree to send troops?
"Lian Shaofu, what do you think?"
After some consideration, Liu Hong still planned to ask his personal financial advisor.
"The strength of the Han Dynasty is prosperous, and it is up to His Majesty to decide whether to send troops or not!"
Lian Zhong hung his head very low, and he didn't answer this question in person.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think!"
Hearing this, Duan Cheng frowned, a little nervous, the next step is the most critical step.
According to past experience, the old man on the other side will stand up and directly oppose it regardless of whether he understands it or not, as long as the opinions put forward by his own group.
For example, Cao Jie's statement about the ground cow turning over just now.
And these old men can be associated with God for a high-sounding reason.
Even said that this year, the heavens warned that it was not appropriate to use force! How can you make a big move, and so on, it is impossible to say that it is possible.
Who knows, today's events are far beyond Duan Cheng's expectations.
Qiao Xuan, the chief military lieutenant, took the lead in speaking: "Minister, second!" ”
Then, Situ Yuan Kui also followed: "Minister, second!" ”
In the end, even Sikong Liu Yi stood up: "Minister, second!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!" "The minister seconded the proposal!" "The minister seconded the proposal!" "The minister seconded the proposal!" ........
This.....?
The train of thought obviously can't keep up!
What about the pros and cons of the argument?
For the first time, Duan Cheng experienced the scene of hundreds of officials embracing each other.
Although I was a little happy in my heart, I couldn't help but look at Cao Jie.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly understood something.
There is a conspiracy!
