Liu Xi was waiting in the Houde Palace, and saw Cao Cao, who had an angry face, walking into the Houde Palace.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Cao bowed to him, Liu Xi clearly saw a trace of grievance on his face, Liu Xi was stunned, quickly got up and helped Situ Gong up, and asked suspiciously: "Situ Gong, what's wrong??" ”

"The minister wants to impeach Shang Shu Ling Guo Jia, this guy is too deceitful!!" Cao Cao said angrily, and told the so-called Guo Jia's crimes one by one, very clearly, very carefully, Liu Xi nodded, listened carefully, and slowly frowned, and said unhappily: "Guo Jia is indeed a little excessive... Situ Gong rest assured, tomorrow, I am preparing to hold a court meeting, Guo Jiana, I will not bypass him! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Cao immediately bowed again, Liu Xi hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "It's just a little thing, Situ Gong doesn't have to be like this, these things, Situ Gong wrote a letter to me, why be so sad?" Situ Gong can rest assured.... There's no need to be polite, this time I invited Situ Gong to come, mainly for the sake of this Wadao matter...", Liu Xi went straight to the point.

He handed the letter written by Xun You to Cao Cao, Cao Cao took the letter in surprise, sat in front of the Son of Heaven, looked at it seriously, and after reading it for a long time, Cao Cao threw the letter on the case with some disapproval, and asked: "Your Majesty called the ministers to come, just for this matter?" ”

"Oh? Situ Gong thinks it's inappropriate? ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty saw this letter, but he felt that his eyes lit up and he was shocked? ”

"That's true."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty doesn't know, Xun Xiang is very evil, and he embezzled the strategies of his predecessors... Please ask Your Majesty to behead him for the crime of deceiving the king! Cao Cao said disdainfully, Liu Xi's eyes widened, "The crime of bullying the king??" ”

"It is so, as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and even earlier, the saint has not yet come to the world, and this policy has appeared, the so-called change of wind, is the policy of the predecessors, Huaxia from the Central Plains, constantly spread to the surroundings, is the line of this policy, at that time, or to the ancient Chinese rites to make the Quartet surrender, the practice of education, initially, in addition to the hinterland of the Central Plains, Yan land is called barbarian, Qilu is also Yi, and later, Bashu, Qin, Chu is also the same.... But now? ”

"Xun Xiang said, the predecessors have already implemented it, and only then can there be the vast country of today's Han Dynasty, hahaha, it's ridiculous that he Xun Gongda, he actually fooled the world with the strategy of the predecessors... Are we really ignorant? Cao Cao had a lot of disdain in his words, and when he saw the contemplative Son of Heaven in front of him, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Of course, this policy can be implemented, but this fame cannot be counted on Xun Gongda's body.。。 The minister can improve this policy and implement it! ”

Liu Xi laughed, his smile was a little strange, looking at Cao Cao in front of him, he nodded lightly and said, "Good, since this is the case, tomorrow the court will discuss this matter, and then discuss this matter with the hundred officials, how about it?" ”

"Respectfully!"

Cao Cao left soon, but Liu Xi fell into thought, Cao Cao, a fickle person, he really can't see through, sometimes, he is so bold, tolerant, heroic, but sometimes, he will suddenly become small-bellied, can't tolerate people, Liu Xi lightly clasped his fingers, slowly closed his eyes, thought for a moment, then he picked up the paper and began to write.

As he was writing, he asked Qi Yue to call the imperial physician Ling Hua Tuo.

Qi Yue thought that the Son of Heaven was unwell, and hurriedly called Hua Tuo to the Houde Palace, Hua Tuo walked into the Houde Palace, and did not wait for the Son of Heaven to speak, sat directly in front of him, and began to take his pulse, the Son of Heaven was stunned, and did not withdraw his hand, Hua Tuo let go of his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the dragon's body is fine, but, looking at Your Majesty's complexion, it seems that these days, lack of sleep, Your Majesty, fatigue is the most susceptible to illness...."

"I understand, Hua Gong, I didn't invite you here for this."

"Oh?"

"Hua Gong, tomorrow's court meeting, I hope you can also participate, I have an important matter... It may be entrusted to the public. ”

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Hua Tuo was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is old, and he has no literary talent, I am afraid that he will disappoint His Majesty...", Liu Xi shook his head and said: "I want to open a medicine in Luoyang, just like the military science, you will serve as the sacrificial wine, teach more doctors, and if there are enough talents, I will open medical centers in various places, supported by temples, for the people to see a doctor..."

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous!!

Hua Tuo hurriedly stood up and was about to bow to the Son of Heaven, Liu Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand, did not accept his big worship, Hua Tuo was extremely old, Liu Xi could not accept such an old man's gift, it was not in accordance with the rules, "Hua Gong doesn't have to be like this, I just have this idea, the specific implementation, or the temple ministers to discuss..", Hua Tuo, who has always been steady, wet his eyes, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty doesn't know...."

"The people suffer from diseases, few people will be treated in the hospital, just because of money, doctors have no way, to cure you have to eat all kinds of herbs, the herbs themselves are also valuable, doctors do not dare to treat at will, the people have no money to go to the doctor, they can only go to all kinds of alchemists, eat their pills, all kinds of tossing, whether they can be cured, but can only depend on the will of God, many old men do not think of the disease at all, but can make a family die!"

"And there are a lot of liars in the place, pretending to be doctors, making money and killing people, and only powerful families can afford to hire really capable doctors to treat them..."Hua Tuo said, Liu Xi frowned, Hua Tuo said these things, he really didn't know, he originally just wanted to open a medical center, so that some people who couldn't afford to pay for medical treatment, but now when he heard Hua Tuo's words, he suddenly felt that if the medical center was completely free of charge and the state would bear it, he was afraid that the treasury would suddenly be overwhelmed.

It's easy to see a doctor, but if you want to treat a disease, you really need all kinds of medicines, and Liu Xi knows the preciousness of these things in his heart, so only part of it is borne by the temple, and the rest is supported by the patients themselves? Liu Xi thought in his heart, his fingers tapped the wooden case quickly, Hua Tuo could see that the Son of Heaven was in a complicated mood, and did not speak again, Liu Xi thought for a moment before asking: "Hua Gong... Even those herbs, if I give the order, pile up a large number of them, and cultivate them intensively, and if the quantity increases, will the price also drop some? ”

"Your Majesty... If there are enough herbs, it will be so, except for some of them, which are extremely precious and rare..."

"Hua Gong should have told me about this as soon as possible, I didn't know, I thought that the people of the world could be like me, and if they felt a little unwell, they could call a doctor to treat them... I thought that if there was no money, at least there should be money for medical treatment... However, I didn't expect that the people didn't even have the ability to go to the doctor, let alone cure the disease... No wonder, no wonder, from Jianning to the present, in a peaceful and prosperous era, there is no war, and the growth of household registration is still so slow..."

Liu Xi sat on the chair with a trance-like expression.

He suddenly looked at Hua Tuo and said: "Hua Gong, in this matter, I will order all the officials to do their best, those who seek money and kill all deserve to die, I hope that Hua Gong can teach a group of excellent disciples to heal the people of the Han Dynasty... Thank you Hua Gong for letting me know these things, in the future, I won't think about any family and country plans all day long, I should still walk around the countryside myself, live for a while, and see what the real Han world needs..."

"Your Majesty is merciful!!"

.......

The next day, the court meeting began.

Cao Cao took everyone into the main hall, each sat down, between the three dukes, there were still not too many words, they didn't care about each other, Cao Situ had the heart to chat with Liu Bei, Liu Bei no longer bothered with him, turned his head, these days, he was a little scared by this Situ Gong, and he didn't dare to approach him again, and the rest of the hundred officials, most of them were close to Cao Cao, in the war that belonged to the three dukes, Cao Cao could be said to be dominant.

They just waited for a while, and Liu Xi walked in, Cao Cao led everyone to pay a visit, and the Son of Heaven returned to worship, and then the court discussion began.

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia in the distance, his eyes were a little unkind, as if he was telling Guo Jia, this time the court meeting, I will definitely deal with you, sure enough, the Son of Heaven just ordered the court to begin, Cao Cao couldn't wait to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Shang Shu Ling Guo Jia!" Guo Jia, as Shang Shuling, neglected his duties, threw everything to his subordinates, persecuted Shang Shutai officials, and blamed the reason for this on the ministers..."

As soon as Cao Cao opened his mouth, Liu Bei had the heart to protect Guo Jia, and he was thinking about how to refute Cao Cao, but when he looked at Guo Jia, he found that Guo Jia was smiling, without the slightest fear, or the slightest worry, it seemed that he had already made a plan, and the Son of Heaven sitting above was the same, without the slightest surprise, Liu Bei sat down and did not interfere in this matter.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, the Son of Heaven frowned, looked at Guo Jia with some annoyance, and asked, "Guo Jun, is what Situ Gong said true?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, remembering the letter sent by the Son of Heaven yesterday, he immediately nodded and said, "That's true!" The minister is guilty! ”

Hearing Guo Jia's words, everyone in the court was shocked, including Cao Cao.

The Son of Heaven sneered and said, "In that case, I must not spare you!" Someone! Take Guo Jia out!! Removed from his position!! The Son of Heaven spoke, and the two guards stepped forward and directly escorted Guo Jia to go out, the ministers were shocked, and so was Cao Cao, his eyes widened, he just asked the Son of Heaven to punish Guo Jia a little, why did the Son of Heaven suddenly dismiss him from his position? ?

Liu Xi looked at Guo Jia, who was escorted away, and then said: "Shangshutai is an important place, and the position of Shangshuling is also indispensable, so Shangshu's servant shoots Cao Chong as Shangshuling!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty... No, the five sons of my family, who are still young, how can they achieve this position? The position of Shang Shuling is extremely important, and the son cannot hold it! Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Xi said with a smile: "It's okay, although Cao Chong is young, he is talented, and there are other people to help him, he can be responsible." ”

Cao Cao was speechless, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Cao Chong is frail and sickly..."

Liu Xi slowly frowned, the ministers could see that the Son of Heaven was already angry, naturally, Cao Cao could also see it, but he knew better in his heart that if Cao Chong was allowed to hold the position, within a month, he was afraid that he would be exhausted to death, how could this be made?

"No matter what, no matter what, Cao Situ is the third duke in the country after all, since this is the case, then the position of this Shang Shuling has to be seriously thought about... Well... Then let the servant shoot Yuan Xi to take this position..."

What the?? Yuan Xi?? Then the decree I issued, can Shang Shutai still have the ability to implement it??

Cao Cao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, no!" ”

"Huh! Cao Situ!! What a big posture!! Guo Jia was also impeached by you, I helped you and dismissed him, but no matter Cao Chong or Yuan Xi, you didn't agree, what's the matter, do you want to let you, Situ, concurrently serve as Shangshuling!! Do you still have me in your eyes?!! Liu Xi suddenly stood up and roared at Cao Cao, who looked at the Son of Heaven above blankly and was speechless.

"Cao Situ!! You said!! Who should I let be the Shang Shuling?! Do you want you to come up and decide for me?! ”

Listening to the anger of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao took a deep breath, but there was no countermeasure in his mind, looking around, the guard had already held the spear in his hand, and Lu Bu in the distance was even more squinting, staring at himself tightly, all of this gave Cao Cao great pressure, under the eyes of everyone, this arrogant Cao Situ, slowly bent down, looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him, he possessed his body, and whispered: "The minister pleaded guilty, and I hope Your Majesty will punish him severely!" ”

Liu Xi looked at Cao Cao, who was possessed in front of him, and squinted his eyes.

Liu Xi is young, except for those henchmen in the East Palace, these courtiers who came from the Xiping era, even if they are respectful in their mouths, they are still a little disappreciative in their hearts, after all, Liu Xi has not killed anyone, there is no blood in his hands, no matter how great his prestige is, but because of his gentleness, because of his humility and enthusiasm, Xiping's ministers still have no fear for him, maybe there is respect, but there is absolutely no fear.

And the most powerful of the ministers of Xiping was now possessed and standing in front of him, asking for his forgiveness.

When Liu Xi's sharp gaze looked at the rest of the people, everyone lowered their heads.

"Where is the holding of Jinwu?!"

"The minister is here!!"

"Arrest the people who flattered Cao Situ and impeached Guo Jia together, and remove the official body, I don't need this kind of flattering villain in my temple!"

"In addition, today is the death day of Emperor Xiaokang, and I see that you are laughing and laughing, without the slightest bit of pathos... Take those few grinning teeth down to me, and there is no need for schadenfreude in my temple..."

"Your Majesty... How to dispose of it? ”

"Kill!"

Liu Xi spit out those cold words, and everyone in the court suddenly trembled and trembled, and those who were taken out were crying and begging for mercy from the Son of Heaven, but this Son of Heaven, who has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, watched these people being escorted out by Lu Bu so indifferently, and didn't care at all.

Liu Xi looked at the ministers and asked in a low voice, "Gentlemen, the court discussion may have begun?" ”
