In October of the second year of Tianji, the queen gave birth to another son for the Son of Heaven, Zhao Jian.

Liu Qu is naturally very proud, the twins under his knees, the eldest son A Shi is only three years old this year, he looks very cute, tiger-headed, Liu Qu is very fond of it, as for the second son Jian, he was born stronger than his brother, the queen said that he was like a father, Liu Qu took care of his two children in the palace all day long, and did not pay attention to any government affairs, if this is in the period of filial piety, filial piety, and filial piety, I am afraid that the ministers have gathered at the gate of the palace and began to reprimand the behavior of the Son of Heaven.

However, today's temple, since the restructuring of the temple, Liu Qu to the Houde Palace, there is no longer any impact, the service of the platform in the past two years, because Liu Qu is always reluctant to come to the Houde Palace, reluctantly carried out a complete restructuring, by the temple 27 important ministers formed the service of the platform, by Pang Tong to be responsible for convening the meeting of the service, these important ministers have become the ministers of the service, such as Zhuge Liang, is the Shangshu Ling to serve the ministers of the center.

On weekdays, they integrate the recitals from all over the country, and then negotiate, and then determine how to approve them, but the court meeting is gradually declining, and the court meeting is more about putting the things that the ministers of the service center and Taiwan have discussed here, and the hundred officials exchange opinions to see if there will be better ideas, but in fact, the hundred officials can no longer interfere in the affairs of the service center.

The court council is useless, and the power they have is only to listen to the decisions of the ministers serving the central government.

Liu Qu sat on the top seat bored, still thinking about other things in his mind, looking at the ministers in front of him, after Liu Yi opened his mouth to convene a court meeting, Pang Tong and other ministers of the Central Taiwan immediately put forward the policy discussed earlier.

"Due to the promotion of iron farming tools and the world, iron tools are gradually insufficient, therefore, the temple is ready to set up large factories with Ningzhou, Hezhou, Xinzhou, and Youzhou.... It can accommodate tens of thousands of people, with merchants, residences, several iron counties in these areas... It's the same, and salt ... In the next year, these materials will be mined, planted, cultivated, cast, etc. on a large scale!! ”

"Absorb a large number of craftsmen from within the craftsmanship... And voluntarily recruit manpower from Kushan and other areas...."

"Solve the problem of unemployed rangers!"

"Loosen the restrictions on merchants!"

"Voluntary migration from the Central Plains to the surrounding open areas will be given the cost of stability, and the land will be allowed to be cultivated.... Four years before the Tianji, millions of people were to be migrated in Xizhou and Guishuang, and 600,000 people were to be migrated to Ningzhou! 300,000 people are going to move to Jiaozhou! ”

As soon as Pang Tongyi said these decrees, the hundred officials just listened carefully, they all knew that all these decrees were negotiated by the ministers of Zhongtai, they were opposed, and it was useless, these ministers of Zhongtai were the absolute core of the temple, and today's court discussions have gradually evolved into a formality, and there is no longer the original atmosphere.

If Wang Jiexin is reincarnated, I am afraid that no one will ask for Wang Jiexin to cook Wang Jiexin at the court meeting, and more than 20 ministers will gather together to discuss whether to cook Wang Jiexin, if the resolution is passed, then there will be no Wang Jiexin at the court meeting the next day.

The ministers didn't feel anything, anyway, their main job was not in the court, they still had their own positions, and they had their own things to do, but one of them was panicked, it was Liu Yi in the middle of the book, in the whole process of the court, Liu Yi frowned, without saying a word, he looked at everyone coldly, but his heart was extremely anxious, and he hurriedly completed the court, and he left here.

Just as he was about to get into the carriage, a person walked behind him, Liu Yi squinted, turned his head, and the person who came was Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang stood behind him and said: "I haven't eaten together for a long time, maybe let me go to Zhongshuling's mansion for a meal?" Liu Yi squeezed out a smile, and before he could say anything, Zhuge Liang got into the carriage with him, Liu Yi didn't say anything more, the two sat in the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards the Zhongshuling Mansion.

"Liu Linggong... These days, in the Hall of Houde, you don't say a word, and you don't look very happy in the court, why is this? ”

Zhuge Liang has always been straightforward, so he asked unabashedly.

Facing Zhuge Liang's questioning, Liu Yi was silent for a moment before he said: "I'm fine, it's just that I'm not feeling good because of my body." ”

"Oh? I see..."

Zhuge Liang nodded and didn't say much.

The two returned to the mansion, Liu Yi still didn't say a word, and Zhuge Liang didn't have any intimacy, Zhuge Liang didn't mind, he sat down and ate with him, the two were eating, Zhuge Liang asked: "I think Liu Jun's amount of food is also normal, it doesn't look like there's any big problem, didn't I do something to disgust Liu Linggong?" ”

Liu Yi squinted his eyes, threw the chopsticks in his hand on the case, and said dissatisfiedly: "What else am I dissatisfied with?" I'm so happy now! Wonderful! Everything is discussed in the middle of the platform, so what else do you want me to do with this Zhongshu order?? The court meeting is useless, I have to be idle all day long, so I just directly ban the court meeting and ban the Chinese book order!! I'm going to resign and go home!! ”

"I, the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang, was bullied by the monarchs like this?! The system of three orders, isn't it all empty?! Liu Yi shouted angrily, looking a little hysterical, the two children playing in the courtyard were also frightened by the appearance of their father, and were taken out of the courtyard by the slaves, looking at Liu Yi's angry appearance, Zhuge Liang didn't know how to speak.

He came this time, originally to negotiate with Pang Tong, and to prepare to change the time of the court, even... Let's see if we can abolish the court meeting on weekdays, after all, the ministers who can discuss things are gathered in the Houde Palace, and there is no need for the temple to hold a court meeting to waste time, he pondered for a moment, and finally did not hide it from Liu Yi, he said: "Don't dare to bully Liu Gong, in fact, I do have the idea of delaying the convening of the court meeting in my heart..."

"I am the grandson of Hyokang!! How dare you?! ”

Liu Yi roared angrily.

Zhuge Liang looked at him calmly, shook his head, and said: "This is what Your Majesty meant, I was also ordered by Your Majesty, and I hope that Ling Gong will not be blamed." Zhuge Liang said this, and regardless of Liu Yi's anger, he left here directly, and Liu Yi was still shouting angrily: "Where are you going to put me?" I would never agree with that!! You go back and tell the Son of Heaven!! I don't from!! ”

In Liu Yi's anger, Zhuge Liang still left, and Liu Yi sat in his seat, his forehead full of green tendons.

"Xianggong, don't be angry, didn't Dr. Zhang say that you are not allowed to be angry... What kind of court discussion is this, if it is not opened, it will not be opened, and it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to abolish your position as the Duke of Ling...", Zhang walked beside Liu Yi distressedly, and said with concern while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in front of him.

"You know what ?!!" , Liu Yi shouted angrily, Zhang was startled by him, they have lived together for so many years, this is the first time Liu Yi has treated her so badly, she was stunned for a moment, and then continued to clean up the dishes and chopsticks as if nothing had happened.

Liu Yi covered his head and sat on the chair.

The young Chengwen wanted to go to his father, but was caught by his mother, "Don't mess with that official fan, let him think about those things that fight for power and profit!" Zhang said, took his son into the inner room, Liu Yi didn't pay attention to the two of them, just sat in the courtyard, sat for a few hours, was sitting, suddenly a slave ran over, walked to Liu Yi's side, and said: "The head of the family, there is a household servant who asks to see the chief." ”

"Zhong Changtong? What is he coming to visit me for?? Liu Yi frowned, he didn't have any friendship with Zhong Changtong, Zhong Changtong suddenly came to visit, which made Liu Yi indeed a little confused, he waved his hand, "Let him come in." ”

After a while, the slave walked in with Zhong Changtong, and when Zhong Changtong walked in with a smile and bowed to him, Liu Yi felt that something was wrong, when did Zhong Changtong become so polite? However, Liu Yi still put on a stinky face and asked, "Zhong Changjun?" Why did you remember to meet me? Now that I have lost power, the court meeting is useless, and there is no place for me in the temple, what are you still doing? ”

"Hahahaha~~", Zhong Changtong laughed.

"Liu Linggong's thoughts, others don't know, but I, Zhong Changtong, know, Ling Gong don't have to pretend anymore!" , Zhong Changtong said disdainfully, Liu Yi was stunned, and asked rhetorically, "What are you talking about?" I don't know? ”

"Liu Linggong is not angry because he lost power, but anxious because the Son of Heaven lost power, right?" , Zhong Changtong asked, Liu Yi was shocked, "Don't want to talk nonsense, the ministers of Zhongtai are all loyal ministers of the country, how can they compete with the Son of Heaven for power?" If you talk like this nonsense again, I'm afraid that I will send you to Mangong. ”

"Liu Linggong, today's ministers in the middle of the country, to put it mildly, they have become the new ministers, the ruling Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven, what control does he have over state affairs, and the court is now abandoned, the Son of Heaven doesn't know anything at all, and he can't manage anything, all of them are in the hands of the ministers of the Central Taiwan, Liu Linggong, as a clan, is the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang, what he thinks in his heart is naturally different from what the ministers think..."

"What about you? Could it be that you are also related to Emperor Xiaokang? ”

"I don't have that honor, but I have a great heart for the Han, for Emperor Xiaokang, I have special admiration, I can help Ling Gong, Kuang to support the power of the Son of Heaven, suppress the current ministers, and let the power of the Son of Heaven return to the time of Xiaokang and filial piety!" , Zhong Changtong said, sat directly in front of the stunned Liu Yi, and took a glass of wine, which was left by Zhuge Liang, and Zhong Changtong drank it directly.

"Don't you want to be like this, Gong Liu? If it goes on like this, a hundred years later, it will not be a court discussion, but the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is a virtual reality, Emperor Xiaokang... If the Spirit learns... How... Sad, huh? ”

Liu Yi sat on the top seat, gritted his teeth, his eyes became red, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head and asked, "You say, what should I do?!" ”

"Strengthen the power of the court, since the minister of the court has a dislike of being big, we might as well strengthen the power of the court through the Son of Heaven, for example, let the court have the power to elect the minister of the court, so that the minister of the court is also restricted by the court, and the Linggong as the secretary of the order, naturally can also govern the recall and promotion of the minister of the service, so that the position of the Son of Heaven is solid, and he will no longer be threatened by the minister of the service..."

"Hmm...", Liu Yi nodded, thought seriously for a moment, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and slammed the wine cup on the case at Zhong Changtong, he stood up and shouted angrily: "You!" You're borrowing me to destroy the Han!! Sinister intentions! Sinister intentions!! Thief !! ”

He suddenly rushed towards Zhong Changtong, Zhong Changtong was slightly startled, he turned around and ran, so that he would not compete with a person with Liu Yi's physique.

Seeing Zhong Changtong flee the mansion, Liu Yi looked at his back angrily.

"They're all traitors... It's all traitors... A bunch of dog thieves!! ”
