In the fourth year of the Heavenly Age, autumn

The Son of Heaven returned to Ruoxian, the southern army returned to the camp, but Liu Qu entered the palace, the queen had long known that he was coming, so she took the eldest son A Shi, the second son Jian, and Liu Qu's younger brother to the disease, waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven, Liu Qu had just entered the Tai Palace, the eldest son was screaming, and rushed to his father's arms, the little guy looked a little dark, and the tiger head and tiger brain were quite a bit of Liu Qu's momentum when he was young, but his eyes were similar to his mother, looking handsome and healthy.

Liu Qu picked him up, pecked him on the face, and then said with a smile: "Good guy, it's heavier, you want to surpass your father!" The little guy looked at him aggrievedly and complained: "Some time ago, my mother beat me!" She doesn't care if I cry! Liu Qu frowned and said, "She is not bullying you while I am not there, it doesn't matter, I am back, she will not dare to bully you anymore!" ”

Liu Qu looked at the queen, "Queen, you are not allowed to beat Ah Shi in the future, he is still so young, what are you beating him for?" ”

"Oh, then I won't beat him anymore, by the way, he was beaten because he took the flowers you raised in Qiongyuan and fed them to the horses."

Liu Qu's face froze, and he glanced at Ah Shi deeply, Ah Shi looked at Ah Shi blankly, big eyes to small eyes, Liu Qu took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just some flowers and plants, just let him toss." He was saying this, but Wang Zijian, who was in his mother's arms, suddenly burst into tears, "My father!" You are not allowed to hug!! ”

"Hahaha~~", Liu Qu laughed, put down Ah Shi, stepped forward, and took the little guy from the queen's hand, the little guy looked at the brother not far away viciously, and then rubbed his head against his father, and sprinkled Jiao, Liu Qu patted the shoulder of the disease again, and walked into the Tai Hall with the queen.

"O child...", he shook his head and sighed.

He almost laughed, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, then pulled him and walked into the Tai Palace.

Liu Qu chatted with his family, talking about those novelties in Yangzhou, chatting very happily, Liu Qu is a lonely, with his family, is his happiest moment, however, the temple ministers are obviously unwilling to let him enjoy this happy time, in the Tai Hall for less than an hour, there is a yellow door walked in, to the Son of Heaven, said that the three orders came to visit.

Liu Qu looked a little helpless, but he still walked out, and the three orders came at the same time, and he had to give corresponding courtesy.

"Zhuge Linggong!! Hahaha, I dreamed of you yesterday! Long time no see! Zhuge Liang saw the appearance of the Son of Heaven like this, and there was no way to say many words in his heart, so he said goodbye to His Majesty, and then Liu Qu met his uncle and Pang Linggong, and then walked into the Houde Hall with them, and there were no other ministers in the Houde Palace, only the four of them.

"I traveled this time, I haven't arrived in Yangzhou yet, the Yangzhou Navy helped me clean up, however, I didn't run in vain, but let me discover the treacherous place of Yangzhou officials, you don't know, when I just arrived in Yangzhou, there were a few businessmen who were disrespectful to me, if it wasn't for Jiang Wei to block, I would have killed them all, and after I went back, I asked the local officials to arrest those merchants, these officials are good, and they will do their best to exterminate the merchants everywhere and seize their property!"

Liu Qu said angrily: "Fortunately, even if Jiang Wei finds out, this has not caused a catastrophe." ”

The Son of Heaven didn't give everyone a chance to ask questions at all, and angrily told his experience in Yangzhou, which gave Pang Tong no chance to ask, Pang Tong was more respectful of business, Yangzhou's situation, he may know it, this time after Liu Qu arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou's businessmen suffered a heavy blow, Pang Tong's heart will definitely not be too happy, it can be seen from his face that he is definitely a belly of fire.

However, he didn't dare to vent to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty...", Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and said: "After Your Majesty left, it was not very peaceful in the county, pointing directly at the embroidered messenger Yuan Shang, for the crime of leaking secrets, arrested several temple ministers, and directly executed them regardless of the order of the servant Zhongtai, among them, there is Xun Xiang's son, Xun Zhi, there is...", Zhuge Liang was about to continue, but Liu Qu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "What? Does the waiter still want to take care of the embroidered messenger? ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "The minister didn't mean this, it's just that there are still many ministers who are locked up in the embroidery prison, even if they are guilty, the crime will not lead to death...", Liu Qu glanced at Zhuge Liang, and then said: "Come on!" Bring Yuan Shang in!! Speaking of which, Yuan Shang and Zhuge Liang are still old acquaintances, but now they are not in harmony with each other, and there is no past friendship.

As he stayed in the Embroidered Clothes Messenger's Mansion for longer and longer, Yuan Shang's changes became bigger and bigger, and now he is becoming more and more ruthless, making it difficult to get close to, the whole world, people who are familiar with him and close to him, can't find one, perhaps, that's why Yuan Shao was so opposed to Yuan Shang being in charge of embroidery back then, but it was useless to say anything, Yuan Shang couldn't change back, he looked at the Son of Heaven calmly, and in his eyes, there was only the Son of Heaven.

"Yuan Zhizhi, they said that you arrested ministers at will and killed innocents indiscriminately, what is going on?" , Liu Qu frowned and asked, Yuan Shang bowed seriously to the Son of Heaven, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, after Your Majesty left, although no one was allowed to reveal the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, some traitors in the temple disobeyed Your Majesty's edict and spread the news that Your Majesty led the army to conquer!" This is the crime of disobeying the edict and plotting rebellion, and the crime deserves death! Punish him! ”

Hearing Yuan Shang's words, everyone was shocked, when Yuan Shang arrested them, he didn't say so, he clearly said that these people were leaking the results of many negotiations in the temple, they were about to speak, Liu Qu punched the wooden case in front of him, the wooden case suddenly cracked, Sanling was startled by him, Liu Qu looked at Sanling coldly, and asked: "Don't you think that they shouldn't die?" ”

Hearing Liu Qu's inquiry, Zhuge Liang couldn't open his mouth, only Liu Yi opened his mouth and said, "Die." ”

Liu Qu looked at Yuan Shang, thought for a moment, and then said: "Since I have killed a lot of people, I haven't happened anything, so let the rest of the people go...", Yuan Shang hesitated, but he still agreed, Liu Qu looked at Zhuge Liang on the side, and said: "Ling Gong, I am also looking at Ling Gong's face, I hope that Ling Gong can discipline these ministers more, there are some things that should not be said outside, otherwise, even if Yuan Shang does not do it, I will personally kill them." ”

"Respectfully!" , Hearing that there were still some people who could save their lives, Zhuge Liang was already very content, and hurriedly replied.

After Yuan Shang left the Houde Palace, this matter can be regarded as the past, Liu Qu squinted his eyes, and no one else can't help but want to say something in the future, and they have to think about the consequences, this is the best, just used a few lives, this sacrifice is worth it compared to the gain, and then Liu Qu asked about the situation in the temple, Zhuge Liang replied one by one:

"Deng Servant has found two more peculiar crops, one of which is pepper, but this pepper is different, bigger, more distinct in color, and more outstanding in taste, Deng Servant has also promoted this crop, and the special government of the agricultural government set up in various places is responsible for investigating the cultivation situation in various places, as well as promoting crops, called Tianji pepper, and one is introduced from Guishan, which is a kind of bean, which the locals call lentils, and now it has also begun to promote, called Tianji beans."

"Man Fu shot to complete the law of the road, has begun to implement in the Han Dynasty, called the "Han Dynasty Tianji Che Zhou Law", Lu Fu shot also designed three kinds of roads, respectively named one-way, two-way double-line, one-way double-line, after the construction of a new road in the Sili area, the phenomenon of carriage congestion has been reduced a lot, and the traffic has been relieved... The Qintianfu has improved the calendar once again, but this time the changes are relatively minor..."

"Zheng Fushu has developed a book supervision system for the distribution of books... Yuan Yao has already arrived at the temple and is busy setting up many policies for the cultural government.... Liu Fujiao found counterfeit banknotes in Yanzhou and other areas, and has already played them, and wants to improve the specifications of banknotes again with Ma Gong, making it difficult for thieves to imitate... The value of the banknotes was also changed, six sets of banknotes were released publicly, and the banknote pattern was also changed, and the book was written in the words of the saints. ”

"Cao Fushu proposed to divide the graded tax law into a detailed division again, and now it is being formulated..."

"The post house Sun servant shot, Shangjuan hopes to increase the expansion of the post station, there is a Hu merchant pigeon in the near future, it is said that this pigeon can pass letters, can be like the geese of the ancients, quite novel...", Zhuge Liang said, the original those, Liu Qu has not paid much attention, but when he heard the so-called flying pigeon, his eyes lit up, and hurriedly asked: "There is such a thing?" What kind of dove is that? ”

"Ahem, Your Majesty, Hu Shangyan is from a region farther away than resting, this kind of pigeon can be trained, he said, he can exchange this method with the Great Han..."

"Oh? How much money does he want? Liu Qu asked coldly.

"He said he didn't want money, he wanted his son to go to Taixue." , Zhuge Liang said with a wry smile.

"Hahaha, okay, I'm right on this matter, that is, the fact that he sacrificed the divine pigeon is enough for his son to enter Taixue, let me come and see the pigeons, where are they?" , Liu Qu asked curiously, Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, and when I finish the rest of the things, the minister will take Your Majesty to see the pigeon...", Liu Qu sat down helplessly, and could only listen to Zhuge Liang continue to tell what happened during this time.

I have to say that when the ministers gather to serve the middle stage, the efficiency of the temple is significantly improved, in the past, these things need the approval of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is no matter how diligent, he is also a person, there is no way to put energy on so many things, and now, the ministers are each, and then the division of labor, the government assists each other, the implementation of various policies is also fast, the pace of the Han Dynasty, day by day is getting faster and faster, constantly galloping forward.

ps: The accurate record of the flying pigeon biography in China appeared in the south of the Sui and Tang dynasties. It was the ancient Egyptians who first lit up this point of technology, and then it spread to the peninsula next door to Egypt.
