Chapter 0923: The Believer Lives
Just temporarily left Luo County, Liu Xi didn't expect that so many things had happened, but he didn't have time to think about it, the first thing was to go to the harem and apologize to the queen in person, that day, when he left Luo County, he didn't inform the queen in advance, which made the queen very angry, Qi Yue didn't say it explicitly, but the Son of Heaven could see that after he left, Qi Yue was scolded by the queen.
Therefore, when the Son of Heaven walked into the harem with a smile, he only went to the disease, shouted Father, and rushed into his arms, and the figure of the disease was completely opposite to the elder brother, very petite, the Son of Heaven could even pick him up with one hand, the little guy was in the arms of the Son of Heaven, and said in a milky voice: "I was sick, they forced me to drink a very bitter medicine, but I didn't cry!" I didn't cry once! ”
"Hahaha, okay, my family is a real man, how can I cry, okay!" , Liu Xi smiled and kissed him, listening to him talk about various things during this time, he couldn't help laughing, as for the queen, she was sitting not far away, and she didn't look at Liu Xi, don't look over, Liu Xi hugged it, slowly walked to her side, and sat down.
"Go to the disease, why doesn't your aunt speak?"
He lowered his voice and said secretly: "Mother is very angry, saying that Father you hurt her and worrying about her, and saying that she will ignore Father for three days..."
"Go to the disease!" , The queen screamed angrily, and hurriedly shrunk her body into Liu Xi's arms, not daring to say any more, Liu Xi laughed, got closer, and said with a smile: "Lu Ji... Don't be angry, I was too anxious to tell you, it's over, I will never do this again, don't be angry..."
"Humph!"
The queen is not young enough, and there are some wrinkles on her forehead, but she is still like the little girl at the beginning, snorting coldly in displeasure, Liu Xi hugged him with his left hand, stretched out his right hand, and hugged the queen in his arms, in the arms of the Son of Heaven, the queen's eyes were also a little red, and she said unhappily: "Why do you want to be like this?" Am I going to stop you from letting you go? ”
"No matter where you go in the future, you have to let me know in advance, and you are not allowed to say goodbye without saying goodbye, you know?"
"Got it!" , Liu Xi grinned, holding his world in his arms, and all that was on his face was happiness.
After just a day of rest, a minister came to the Houde Palace, Liu Xi got up early, looked at the queen who had not woken up yet, and whispered in her ear, "I am going to the Houde Palace!" Only then did he get up and leave the harem, changed his clothes, and came to the Houde Palace, where he saw Zhuge Liang, who had been waiting for him, Liu Xi walked forward with a smile and took Zhuge Liang's hand.
"Kong Ming! There you are! I haven't seen you for a long time, look at you, it's so dark, I think my aunt will definitely scold me..", Liu Xi said, the two sat down again, Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been here for a long time, and I don't know where Your Majesty has gone, and Qi's husband doesn't want to tell ...", as soon as the two sat down like this, they chatted, they had too much to talk about.
From the battle of Guishan, talking about the current situation in the temple, Liu Xi even talked about what he saw and heard in the people, the two chatted like this, they chatted for two or three hours, and went to eat together, and returned to the Houde Hall again, the two began to talk about business, Zhuge Liang said seriously: "Your Majesty, the effectiveness of the law, it can be seen that in general, Your Majesty has been away for a few months, but everything in the temple can still run normally..."
This shows that the laws and institutions of today are the most suitable for today... I still have to thank Guo Linggong, Xun Linggong... However, now that Guishan is at the beginning of peace, there are still many things to deal with, Guishan is different from the Han Dynasty, just how to treat those nobles is a big problem, the ministers originally wanted to abolish their original social hierarchy, but this is too difficult..."
"Your Majesty, I don't know that even the lowest untouchables refuse to repeal this ordinance, and even plead bitterly that these are what they deserve, that it is God's will... Alas...", Zhuge Liang shook his head, his heart full of resentment.
Liu Xi laughed, shook his head, and said, "It seems that Zhong Changtong is most suitable to go to Guishan to govern for a while." ”
Zhuge Liang was taken aback, hurriedly shook his head, and said: "No, Your Majesty, if Zhong Changtong goes to Guishuang, I'm afraid that in a few days, he will be able to make Guishan fall into turmoil again, there are rebellions everywhere, for Guishuang, you can't use such a fierce medicine as Zhong Changtong, you still have to deal with it slowly... The minister has been discussing with Zhongda for a long time in the past few days, and only then did he come up with a good solution..."
"Haven't Zhong Changtong and Pang Jun been proposing not to confine the people to one place? First of all, we are to allow the people of Kushan to move around, and preferably, they can also come to the Central Plains to have a look, I think that if they can see the situation here, those deep-rooted things in their minds can be shaken..."
"In addition, it is immigration, from Xizhou and other places, to immigrate, some prisoners, to Guishan, to establish many new county towns in Guishan, in these counties to implement the law to abolish the caste system, little by little to attack, the minister thinks, sooner or later can make the Kushan people accept these views, the other is education and enlightenment, Xun Xiang in the Wadao governance, before he died, he left a document to me..."
Liu Xi nodded, the book was handed over to Zhuge Liang by him personally.
Zhuge Liang sighed: "Xun Xiang seems to have known for a long time that I will meet such a day, his books are all about the civilization of the barbarian land, reading Xun Xiang's book, I am deeply touched, therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can give me the matter of cultivating Guishan, I can give some suggestions to those young people, not only to cultivate them, but also to solve the matter of Guishan." ”
Liu Xi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "I think that the top priority is to set up an official school in Guishan, starting from the next generation, this is what Xun Xiang said, as long as the next generation of Guishan people can read the books of the Han Dynasty and grow up and accept the way of my sage, the original bad customs of Guishan will leave with the death of these people now..."
Zhuge Liang then talked about many of his policies, most of which are for Guishan, not only in culture, but also in agriculture, the land of Guishan is too suitable for development, the grain here is ripe, as long as advanced agricultural technology can be promoted, it can be said that the future Han, at least in terms of food, does not have to worry too much.
However, even if the household registration of the Han Dynasty is still too small, it cannot support too large-scale immigration, and if you want to turn these areas around the Han Dynasty into a real Han land, I am afraid that it will take a hundred years, but it is all worth it, the future of the Han Dynasty will definitely be stronger, Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Xi was overjoyed, and he also agreed with Zhuge Liang's long method.
After talking about Guishuang, Zhuge Liang talked about domestic affairs again.
"The destruction of Guishuang has made the ministers see through a lot..", Zhuge Liang said, for Liu Xi, the same is true, he is also afraid, among his descendants, there will be a fool like Vesudeva, who can destroy an empire by relying on his own strength, such a talent, the Han royal family does not know if it will appear.
chatted late at night, and the two only felt that there were still a lot of things to say.
Liu Xi suddenly asked, "By the way, what about Zhongda?" Why didn't he come with him? ”
Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Zhongda, he is sick, very sick, and I don't know why, the imperial doctor said that it may be a recurrence of the old disease, and I have also seen him before... Alas, I don't know what happened to him... I forgot to talk about him, and if he could, His Majesty would definitely go and see him. Liu Xi nodded.
After sending Zhuge Liang away, Liu Xi still sat in the Hall of Houde, pondering, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
The next day, Liu Xi hurriedly called someone to drive and left the palace again, but this time, he had informed the queen in advance that he was going to visit Shi Zhongling this time, it is said that Shi Zhongling was seriously ill on the bed, and he had to go to Sima Yi's mansion to visit him.
When the carriage arrived at Sima's mansion, the yellow door had been informed in advance, so the gate was open, and the servants of the Sima family stood on both sides, respectfully waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven, Liu Xi got off the carriage, led a group of relatives, and walked into the mansion, everyone worshipped, Liu Xi asked them to get up, he was not the first time to come here, and he didn't need others to lead the way, so he walked all the way to the inner room.
When he entered the house, he smelled the unpleasant smell in the air.
Liu Xi frowned and looked at the bed, Sima Yi was lying on the bed, covering his body, from his face, you could feel his weakness, there was not much flesh on his face, and his cheeks were sunken, seeing the Son of Heaven coming in, Sima Yi just opened his eyes weakly, struggling to get up, Liu Xi hurriedly supported him and let him continue to lie down.
"Zhongda... Alas, why are you so sick? ”
"I don't know... Maybe it's the cold... Your Majesty is tired of visiting in person...", Sima Yi said weakly, his eyes were also cloudy, and it looked as if he was going to leave at any time, the Son of Heaven repelled everyone, and the two chatted in the inner room, and after chatting for a long time, Liu Xi called Huangmen and put a small bottle of potion beside Sima Yi.
The Son of Heaven frowned, looking a little sad, he stared at Sima Yi's eyes, and said very sincerely: "Zhongda... This is the magic medicine that Xizhou paid tribute to me, it is said to be able to cure all diseases, especially for you like this, it is extremely effective, Zhongda, you and I have been friends for decades, this bottle of me is left here, you must take it, don't forget..."
"Such a valuable medicine... I can't afford it..."
"Whew... No, you can afford it, I met you when I was a teenager, after so many years, you and Kong Ming are my closest relatives, I can't watch you get seriously ill and leave it alone, I still have important things, so I left, don't forget to take this potion! ”
After Liu Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left here, sending away the Son of Heaven, Sima Yi lay on the sickbed weakly, almost a year, he felt more and more weak, more and more weak, finally, he still fell ill, maybe he was too tired in the Houde Palace? Sima Yi thought about it, and looked at the bottle of medicine again, what did the Son of Heaven leave this medicine for? Why was he so anxious to let me drink it?
Could it be...
Sima Yi's eyes flashed.
And Liu Xi returned to the Houde Palace, and dealt with the performances from all over the place, Qi Yue stood aside, serving him, Liu Xi worked for a while, and then he was a little tired, stretched his body, frowned, and seemed to have something on his mind, Qi Yue said with a smile: "The country, are you still worried about the matter of the servant order?" ”
"yes... I was worried about him. ”
"The country doesn't have to worry, in the past two years, the tea he drank in the palace has been chronically poisoned, he has been deeply poisoned, there is no antidote, and he will definitely die."
"I'm past today... Leave the antidote to him. ”
"Huh?? Country... Why is that?? He drank the antidote, so what he did before was not in vain? ? ”
Liu Xi opened his eyes with some pain, "He is my friend, he has been with me for decades, I can't watch him leave, I left him an antidote, whether he can survive depends on whether he will drink the bottle of antidote I left behind... I have done my best. ”
"The state is merciful!"
