Chapter 173: Li Yang Misunderstood the Country
PS: Maybe the plot of these two chapters makes everyone feel water, but there is no way, this is a very meaningful plot. Even if the content of 2,000 years of history can be omitted and not written, the matter of telling history to Qin Shi Huang cannot be omitted, only in this way can Qin Shi Huang know the suffering suffered by the Chinese nation for more than 2,000 years and the oppression brought by foreign races. Only when Qin Shi Huang is familiar with the historical trend and empathizes with him, can he truly become a pair of good friends with the protagonist, and then unify the tone of governance, ideals, ambitions, and comprehensively implement the policy of reform and opening up with the protagonist. If you don't set up a plot that exposes the identity of the crossing, the ideals of the monarch and the minister are different, and it will be difficult to comprehensively reform it later. Moreover, the protagonist pretended to be an ancients and developed silently, I guess everyone is tired of watching it, this book is taking a different path anyway, alternative.
Get down to business!
……………………
Li Yang spoke very seriously and wonderfully, just like a storyteller, telling historical stories wonderfully, especially the history of the Three Kingdoms, which is suspected of replacing Luo Guanzhong. The gripping storyline is full of ups and downs, thrilling, and it always makes Ying Zheng listen with relish.
This talk is about getting dark.
The emperor didn't hear enough at all, and ordered Liu Xi to hold the lamp, deliver food, and then continue to talk.
This talk was one night, and it was not until dawn that this history of the Three Kingdoms was roughly finished by Li Yang.
Of course, in addition to telling the historical development of the Three Kingdoms, Li Yang also told about the deep suffering caused to the Chinese nation by the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony at the end of the Han Dynasty.
For example, it is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reigned for more than 50 years, crusaded against the Xiongnu several times, wasted the sea, halved the population, and 50% of the people died.
After the melee in the late Western Han Dynasty, the population of the country was 59.59 million, and after the melee in the late Western Han Dynasty, in 57 AD in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population was 21 million, with a loss of 65%.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the melee of the Three Kingdoms, the population of the whole country dropped sharply to 1.4 million after the Battle of Chibi, and by 221 AD the population had dropped to 900,000, a loss of 98.3%.
In the Battle of Chibi in 208 AD, Cao Cao said that the people who survived the great turmoil of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty were only 1% of the original population! It was not until 265 AD, after decades of recuperation, that the population of the Three Kingdoms increased to 7.67 million.
Speaking of the suffering of these Chinese nations, Li Yang couldn't help but feel sad and sad, and sighed: "The fierce war of the Three Kingdoms, the head of the horse hangs in front of the horse, the car carries the woman, the white bones are exposed in the wild, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and there are more than one people, and the thought breaks people's intestines!" Your Majesty, this is the Three Kingdoms of the late Han Dynasty! ”
Hearing these sensational population data, Ying Zheng also heard a burst of heartache, heartbreaking, and grief.
gloomily said: "Years of war have caused the lives of the people to be miserable, the bones are all over the field, and the world is suffering!" I unify the six countries, in order to end the war and return the people of the world to peace, but my life span cannot be compared with the sky, otherwise why would future generations suffer this suffering, hey! What a problem, what a day! ”
"Your Majesty has the world in his heart, and the minister admires it incomparably." Li Yang took a deep look, if nothing else, just because of his words of grief and indignation for the common people in the world, it is worthy of respect.
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "You don't have to slap my ass, come, continue to talk ......"
Li Yang looked outside the hall, it was already sunny, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Your Majesty, don't you need to go to the early dynasty?" ”
Ying Zheng: "The history you mentioned is much more important than the early dynasties, and I can take it as a warning." Go on! ”
Li Yang nodded, so he continued......
At the same time, the Qilin Palace.
At this time, the Qilin Hall was already in chaos, and the civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time, but they had never seen the emperor coming to the court, which was an unprecedented situation.
You must know that even if Ying Zheng was seriously ill at the beginning, he dragged his sick body and came to the court early, without delaying even one early dynasty.
And today, this is all three poles in the sun, and there is no shadow of the emperor, not even Liu Xi, is it ...... What's going on?
Everyone talked about it, and they were all surprised.
What's more, what's even more strange is that today's prime minister has not been in court for a long time, as if he had made an appointment with the emperor to "strike".
"Feng Xiang, Li Xiang, this ...... The emperor has never come to the court, so something can't have happened, right? ”
Everyone surrounded Feng Quji and Li Si and asked.
Feng Quji and Li Si were also puzzled, and they couldn't understand what the situation was today.
In the end, Li Si had no choice but to say: "Everyone should be calm and impatient, maybe Your Majesty is delayed due to something, so let's wait here for Your Majesty to come to the court!" ”
After pacifying everyone, Li Si asked his son, "Li You, aren't you with Prime Minister Zhong on weekdays, why didn't Prime Minister Zhong come to the court today?" ”
Li Youdao: "I don't know this, yesterday afternoon, Prime Minister Zhong was summoned to Zhangtai Palace by His Majesty, and he has not returned to his house since." ”
"Oh? Haven't been home yet? Li Si was surprised.
Li You nodded: "Yes, I went to Prime Minister Zhong's mansion for breakfast this morning, but I didn't see Prime Minister Zhong, and I heard that I didn't return last night." ”
"In this way, is it possible that the prime minister is still in Zhangtai Palace?" Everyone was stunned.
What kind of national affairs can be discussed for a day and a night?
"Is something really going on?"
The crowd was in an uproar again.
Feng Qujian thought for a moment, and then said, "Li Xiang, why don't you ...... Send someone to ask the eldest son? ”
Li Si nodded: "Yes, Li You will go and invite the eldest son over." ”
"Whoa!"
Li You immediately received the order and rushed towards Fusu's mansion.
A quarter of an hour later, Fusu came to the Qilin Palace.
After everyone bowed, Feng Qu hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, do you know why Your Majesty has not arrived today?" ”
Fusu had already heard Li You talk about this on the way here, so he replied: "Father should still be in Zhangtai Palace to discuss with Taifu. ”
"Oh? Does Your Highness know what His Majesty and the Prime Minister are discussing? Why was it even delayed in the early dynasty? The crowd asked.
"This, what is the specific discussion, this son also doesn't know." Fusu shook his head.
He only knew that something big should have happened yesterday, because he was almost killed by his father yesterday.
Thinking of this now, Fusu has palpitations.
"Or ...... Your Highness goes to Zhangtai Palace and invites Your Majesty? Li Si said to Fusu.
Fusu nodded: "Okay, I'll go for a trip!" ”
…………
After a while, Fusu came back again, and at the same time Liu Xi was still behind him, but he still didn't see the emperor.
Everyone was even more puzzled, it seemed that something big must have happened, otherwise the emperor would not have been able to urge him not to come, but to send Liu Xi over.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Xi arrived, he said to everyone: "Your Majesty said that today is not early, and government affairs will be handled by Feng Xiang and Li Xiang for the time being, so please disperse!" ”
Everyone was very curious, what important thing was the emperor talking about today, so that he didn't even come to the early dynasty?
Feng Qujian hurriedly asked: "Zhongche Ling, Your Majesty is still in Zhangtai Palace at this time?" ”
"Isn't it?" Liu Xi nodded.
Feng Qujian asked again: "Could it be that something important has happened?" ”
Liu Xi said: "It's not a secret, the ministers don't know what His Majesty is discussing with the Prime Minister of Zhongcheng, only that His Majesty has forgotten to sleep and eat since yesterday afternoon, and has been talking about it now, dinner and breakfast are sent by us." ”
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned.
Li Si asked, "Didn't you listen to a word of the CRRC order?" ”
Liu Xi thought for a while and said, "When I went to deliver the meal, I listened to a few words, and the prime minister seemed to be ...... Storyteller! ”
"Storytelling?"
At this moment, everyone's jaws dropped.
"The prime minister is telling His Majesty? Storytelling? Lees couldn't believe it.
This storytelling, how can you even ignore the government and politics?
Liu Xi nodded: "That's right, it seems to be telling a story." I heard the Prime Minister of China talk about the Three Kingdoms, last night I told a lot of stories of the Three Kingdoms, what warm wine to kill Huaxiong, three visits to the thatched house, the battle of Chibi, not to mention, the Prime Minister of China is really wonderful, if it weren't for His Majesty not to let me stay in the palace, I still want to hear the story of the Three Kingdoms. ”
Lis: "............"
Feng Quji: "............"
Everyone: "............"
The emperor didn't go to court, but he was listening to Li Yang tell stories and stories, which ...... It's ridiculous, isn't it?
At that moment, Feng Qu said quickly: "Li Yang is misleading the country, no, I must go to Zhangtai Palace to admonish!" ”
Everyone nodded again and again: "Yes, we have to go to the admonition, how can we ignore the government because of listening to books, Li Yang is really excessive!" ”
Just when everyone was clamoring to go to Zhangtai Palace, Liu Xi said again: "You must not disturb Your Majesty listening to the book at this time, because Your Majesty is listening to it angrily at this time." ”
"What do you mean?" The crowd was confused.
Liu Xi said: "Just now, His Royal Highness the eldest prince, let me go to His Majesty's early dynasty, when I went in, Your Majesty seemed to hear the story of the prime minister, and seemed to empathize, angry, and looked like he was going to kill." ”
"Huh?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Feng Quji was surprised: "Dare to ask the CRRC Order, what is the story, it will cause His Majesty to have the intention of killing?" ”
Liu Xi said: "I don't know what the specific story is, I only heard the prime minister of China talking about five nonsense, in short, His Majesty is annoyed at this time, you must not be bored with yourself." Let's do it today and come back tomorrow. ”
Everyone nodded, and that was it.
It's a day.
The next day, the Kirin Hall.
The civil and military officials came to the Qilin Hall early again, waiting for the early dynasty, and the result was ......
The sun is three poles, and the emperor is still not coming.
Similarly, Li Yang is also nowhere to be seen.
Everyone is stupid, they can't be the emperor and the prime minister, and they are still telling stories and stories, right?
It's the third day!
Everyone was stunned, this is so weird, how can a story be told for two days and two nights?
I still ask Fusu to go to Zhangtai Palace to ask Your Majesty.
Liu Xi was still the only one who came.
Liu Xi still brought a sentence: "This morning is canceled, everyone performs their duties, and comes back tomorrow." ”
Suddenly, the entire Qilin Hall was in an uproar......
