When Tianzi Huang Gai arrived at Situ's mansion, the old Situ came to greet him with a cane and led his family to greet him, and the family supported him from both sides.

When the little fat man saw Situ Gong who went out to greet him in person, he hurriedly got off the frame, walked up quickly, and said with a smile: "I came to meet Situ Gong, why did Situ Gong go out to greet him?" ”

Cui Wei was stunned for a long time, and did not reply, the Son of Heaven was helpless, and asked again, Cui Wei laughed and said, "When the Son of Heaven comes, how can the courtiers not welcome him?" He trembled and asked the Son of Heaven to drive to the mansion, but the Son of Heaven was unwilling to take the car, so he personally helped him into the mansion and went to the study, where Situ Gong and the Son of Heaven sat opposite each other.

Looking at Cui Gong in front of him with his head bowed and an old dragon clock, the Son of Heaven looked at it for a long time, sighed, and said, "Cui Gong is old." ”

"Serve four generations of kings... Now, it's time to go..."Cui Wei said, tremblingly took out a book from under the case, put it on the case, reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at the contents of the book, touched the book with some pity, looked up at the Son of Heaven, and said: "This thing... The ministers shall be dedicated to Your Majesty..."

The Son of Heaven took the thick paper from his hand with some curiosity, the paper has not been revised, and the title table of contents has not been written, and there are still many traces of modification in the whole article, he looked at it seriously for a moment, and asked, "This is?" ”

Cui Wei smiled and said: "During the period of the minister and the Emperor Xiaohuan, he wrote thirty political treatises, dedicated to the Emperor Xiaohuan, but the Emperor Xiaohuan did not listen, during the period of the Emperor Xiaokang, the minister repaired this treatise again, for seventy articles, dedicated to the Emperor Xiaokang, although the Emperor Xiaokang attached great importance to it, but because of the obstruction of hundreds of officials, it was troublesome at all times, and he did not listen to the ......"

He smiled bitterly and said: "The old minister does not dare to give up, before and after the twenty-two years of repair, this is the minister's political treatise, a total of one hundred and thirty-two, today dedicated to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can adopt it, the minister will not bear it..."

Lao Situ looked at the little fat man with some expectation, the little fat man smiled, opened the political commentary, and began to read it seriously, the first article is the agricultural chapter, Cui Gong wrote: "The four seas are fixed, the Central Plains is rich, and the border is unbearable, if the people forcibly move it, the life will be bad, or the border will be used as a tun, and the people will serve, and the land will be reclaimed on the border, and the rich and poor will be even..."

The little fat man's eyes widened, he looked at it seriously, and looked at the writing date at the end, this article was written in the ninth year of Jianning...

"Mayay!" The little fat man couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, as early as the ninth year of Jianning, fifteen years ago, Cui Gong had already seen the situation after the Han Dynasty was settled? The little fat man hurriedly opened the next chapter, which was the work chapter, and the old man also had his own opinion in this regard, and he hoped that the temple would be able to support the craftsmen of the country, and that the nations would obey through the export of their products.

The little fat man frowned, using commerce to control other countries? Can you still win without a fight? He didn't believe it in his heart, and hurriedly opened the third, fourth, and fifth articles, except for the agricultural chapter, the rest of the content made the little fat man a little unclear, what sea trade is the most important thing for the country, what is the business to attack the country, and even there are such nonsense as tearing down the city wall of Luoyang...

Closing the book and looking at the old man in front of him, the old man looked at the Son of Heaven expectantly and asked, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Very good, very good..."

The Son of Heaven chuckled and said, "I will definitely be a good student in the future..."

The old man lowered his head again and said, "If that's the case, then thank you Your Majesty..."

The little fat man didn't stay here for too long, chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and left, the old Situ wanted to personally congratulate the Son of Heaven, but was politely rejected by the little fat man, and asked Situ Haosheng to take care of himself, after the Son of Heaven left, the eldest grandson of the old Situ walked in with a smile, and asked with some joy: "Grandfather, has the Son of Heaven accepted the "Political Commentary"? ”

The old man did not answer, but lowered his head, half-asleep, and in a daze.

Returned to the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven still frowned, the impact on him was a little too great, and he also figured out why Emperor Xiaokang didn't fully listen to his political arguments at the beginning, some political arguments were too ridiculous, but even so, he still felt a little strange in his heart, and always wanted to open the political arguments again and look at one or two.

All night, the Son of Heaven watched the political commentary and never slept.

At the same time, the Han Dynasty is still in a state of excitement and activity, and the national strength has once again risen tremendously, and it is no wonder that Emperor Xiaokang always teaches the Son of Heaven, in other words, the strength of the country lies in the rule of officials, and a large number of talents appear in the various grassroots levels of the Han Dynasty, and even in the temples, from the Taishou to the county order, from the three dukes to the council, there is no one who is nameless and talentless.

The role of these talents is evident in the construction and development of various localities.

In February, Sikong Yuan Feng resigned and worshiped Sikong with Lu Zhi.

Zhang Jian, the court lieutenant, resigned, and Guo Jia, the secretary of Shangshu, was appointed as the court lieutenant.

In March, the Son of Heaven convened a court meeting.

At this time, the court discussion, there is no longer the same dull as before, or the same voice of the voice of cooking, when discussing political affairs in various places, the ministers almost started to move, arguing, looking at their appearance, in the crowd, Cai Yong suddenly felt a little emotional, in the early years of Jianning, the same situation in the court, there are many talents, Liu Ju, He Xiu, hearing the attack, Wang Fu and everyone are fighting, and they often fight.

How similar it is now, except that all the old ministers have left, and they are the only ones standing here, unsociable.

"I want to inspect the world, such as the story of Emperor Xiaokang, what do you think?"

The little fat man looked at the ministers and asked solemnly.

Cai Yong shook his head, the Son of Heaven was too straightforward, and it was not a thoughtful tone at all, so he directly locked up this matter, he wanted to tell the Son of Heaven how to do it, the real Son of Heaven should explain this matter to his henchmen, let the henchmen propose it in the court, and then make a decision by himself, so that he can really do what the king does, and Emperor Xiaokang did that....

However, the Son of Heaven is young and vigorous, and his national strength is not comparable to before, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to listen to what he says.

Sure enough, after hearing such an inquiry from the Son of Heaven, Baiguan pondered for a moment, and Lu Zhi said: "Your Majesty, it is March, and the world is busy with farming. If Your Majesty has this heart, you can discuss it with Nongsang after everything is done! ”

Hearing Lu Zhi say this, Cao Cao and the others also nodded, thinking that they seconded the proposal, of course, there are still different views, such as Xun Yu, he got up and said: "The minister thinks that only the matter with the nongsang, the Son of Heaven should inspect, as long as the local nongsang can not be mistaken, and the Son of Heaven will go to inspect again, you can see the real situation of the nongsang everywhere, and you can also urge the officials, which is beneficial to the world." ”

Hearing Xun Yu say this, some ministers began to support his remarks.

Everyone was undecided, and Situ, who was able to suppress the ministers, looked confused again, and the court was naturally in a mess, and in the crowd, Xun Yu could be vaguely heard scolding: "Gongda!" How dare you refute your uncle as a nephew! Don't stand behind me yet! ”

"How can the DPRK and China talk about family affection?!"

"Fengxiao, have you ever had a little dirt on your hands, and you dare to discuss farming?"

"I have the best in all four subjects, but I am not like you, Nongsang white roll...."

"You!" Xun Yu's eyes were full of anger, and he shouted: "The matter of agriculture and mulberry is an important matter in the world, the Son of Heaven inspects the agriculture and mulberry, and it is used to persuade the class, and the people and officials will definitely do their best....."

"Hey, the Son of Heaven is here, if the officials are not allowed to greet him, concentrate on farming, dare to ask, where is the Son of Heaven doing? Why do you live? If you want to arrange a place for the Son of Heaven, but you have to delay the farming? If you don't farm, don't speak wildly. ”

"Guo Fengxiao, don't bully people too much!"

"You haven't farmed, and you tell the truth."

"Bastard!!"

Looking at the red-eyed Xun Yu pinching Guo Jia's neck, the ministers stopped arguing and hurriedly pulled the two apart, the first assessment was not enough, it was a sharp pain in Xun Yu's heart, he was so ridiculed by Guo Jia, he naturally couldn't sit still, Guo Jia didn't bother to pay attention to him, sneered with some disdain, even if he was pulled away, he secretly stretched out four fingers, and whispered: "I have four crowns, you can't farm." ”

The Son of Heaven cleared his throat and looked at Situ.

The ministers suddenly fell silent, Lu Zhi hurriedly pushed Cui Gong, Cui Gong reacted at this time, looked at the ministers blankly, and asked a little confusedly, "What's wrong?" Is it time to retreat? ”

"No...."Lu Zhi hurriedly informed Cui Wei of the words of the Son of Heaven.

"Oh, the Son of Heaven wants to inspect the world..."

Cui Wei nodded, looked at the Son of Heaven, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where is the disaster?" ”

"What do you say? If it is peaceful today, and the court is full of talents, how can there be such a disaster? The Son of Heaven said with some surprise.

"Huh? This is impossible, many wise kings of my Han Dynasty are all in the matter of disasters, go in person, help the people, wholeheartedly for the country, have the world in mind, Your Majesty should not hide from the old ministers, Your Majesty is so anxious to inspect the world, there must be a disaster, Your Majesty, as a wise king, wants to go to the inspection... The old minister is old, but His Majesty can't hide it from the old minister..."

"Where's the disaster?"

The little fat man's face turned red slightly, clenched his fists, and said helplessly: "... Let's talk about it at another day...."

"What?" Old Situ didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked a little blankly.

Lu Zhi whispered, "It's okay..."

"Oh? Retreated? ”

The ministers all looked at Cui Wei with some surprise, this person... A few words forced the Son of Heaven to give up his plan, is he really old, or is he pretending? The Son of Heaven also thought the same in his heart, he could only reluctantly order to retreat from the court, and only then did the guards help Cui Yu to leave the temple, Cui Yu, as the third duke, should be ahead of the hundred officials.

After he got up, he looked up at the Son of Heaven and said with some doubts: "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

The Son of Heaven turned his head to look at him, frowned, and said, "I have not spoken. ”

Cui Wei sighed helplessly, and said: "Today, the old minister can't hear with his ears, and he is far away from His Majesty, it is really difficult to hear clearly, and I hope that Your Majesty will blame you, and dare to beg Your Majesty... If there are words and ministers, can they be spread by one person? In this way, the minister can hear clearly, and he will not be guilty of the king..."

The little fat man frowned and nodded.

Cui Wei was dragged out by the guards, he shook his head, and kept sighing: "In the past, when Emperor Xiaokang was there, he used the ministers to spread rumors, and the ministers could hear it clearly. After returning home, I want to eat some meat...", watching Cui Wei muttering to himself, he walked out of the temple in a little delirium, and the ministers looked at each other.

Returning to the Houde Palace, the little fat man sat quietly for a while, raised his head suddenly, and asked with some doubts: "What does Cui Gong's words mean?" Rumor? Isn't it...", the little fat man was not stupid, but after thinking for a while, he came back to his senses, is this to ask himself not to come forward in person and let others spread the word for him in the temple?

Perhaps, he should have been like this a long time ago, if he had done so earlier, the ministers would not have dared to say what they really thought in their hearts because they were afraid of themselves, even if the proposal was rejected, they would not lose their face, and even if something happened in the future, it would have nothing to do with themselves, so Cui Gongfang forced himself back, and the behavior of making people rumored is worth thinking about.

Cui Gong is not against his own inspection of the world, but he is afraid that there will be any problems in the process of inspection, which will take a blow to his prestige, so he let himself spread the rumor, so that he can hear it, the words of the Son of Heaven himself, he can't hear it, is it really so? The Son of Heaven frowned, and hurriedly turned his head and asked the Han Gate generals Xun Yu and Guo Jia to bring it.

It didn't take long for the two to be brought to the Son of Heaven.

Xun Yu glared at Guo Jia viciously, Guo Jia's face remained unchanged, and he didn't pay attention to Xun Yu's gaze at all.

"Cui Gong.... What do you think? ”

When Xun Yu heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said with some trepidation: "Your Majesty, Duke Cui is an old minister of the four dynasties, a pillar of the country, and a virtuous person, don't act rashly!" ”

"You guy, I can't do it to Cui Gong!" Tianzi almost jumped up angrily, just to see what you think in your hearts, how did I order to kill Cui Wei, I am so tyrannical??

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the Son of Heaven, and said: "Today, Duke Cui confronted Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is the ruler of the ram again, and the minister still thinks..."

"You bastard..."The Son of Heaven took a deep breath, and was about to scold him, when Han Men hurriedly rushed in, his face was very happy, he was too excited, and he almost fell to the ground, he said: "Country...."

"Don't you see me discussing something important? Which let you trespass! I can't die!! ”

The Son of Heaven shouted angrily.

Han Men suddenly trembled with fright, knelt on the ground, and asked the Son of Heaven to forgive him.

The little fat man frowned, his face was angry, and asked, "As my long-term follower, how can you be so out of shape!" What's the matter with you being like this?! ”

"Your Majesty, in recent days, the queen has been unwell, please ask the imperial doctor to go to diagnose... The queen is happy! ”

"What do you say!! The little fat man jumped up and grabbed the Han Gate in front of him.

"The queen is happy, and she is going to give birth to a unicorn for the country...."

The little fat man's eyes widened, looking a little stunned, and Xun Yu and Guo Jia hurriedly said hello, this is the eldest son of the Son of Heaven, maybe the future prince, the prince, this is a major event of the country, the little fat man was sluggish, sluggish for a long time, only then he laughed wildly and roared: "I want to have a son?" My son? Hahaha, hurry, hurry, where is the queen?! ”

The little fat man didn't even pay attention to the two ministers around him, and rushed out like thunder.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia glanced at each other a little blankly, then snorted coldly and said goodbye, and left the palace separately.

And the news that the queen was pregnant spread outside the palace.
