Hua Xiong grinned, revealing his white teeth.

On this day, no one knows what happened in Washington, only that in the evening, a carriage slowly drove out of Luoyang, when the soldiers at the city gate checked, there were three young people lying inside, with blue noses and swollen faces, already unconscious, I don't know who committed the murder, the soldiers were about to ask a few more words, but the driver kept saying that they had fallen and injured themselves, and they wanted to go back to the house to heal, and the soldiers looked at their passage documents again, and then let them go.

In Washington, there has been one more person since then.

Liu Xi sat in the Houde Palace, the case in front of him was placed on the Huaxiong things, Liu Xi just smiled, it seems that he still has to repair a book by himself, do the "persuasion" thing, put the document aside, he picked up the various recitals about the Wa State, since the Xiping period, the Wa State became a subsidiary of the Han Dynasty, the Wa State has undergone great changes, the temple will divide the Wa State into two, set up two princes and kings, but it is governed by the same prime minister.

Over the years, Xun Yu as the prime minister of the country, has been governing the large island, worthy of the old minister who followed Yeye, Liu Xi sighed, the year of Jianning, there is no mediocre talent, this Xun Gong, after rushing to the island, nearly 20 years, put all his energy on the local education, he did not develop the local agriculture and the like, but is a vigorous official education, as well as literary education.

Xun You's behavior like this, so that his merits are not obvious, in the obscurity of many Taishou ministers, in various places of the Taishou ministers are making every effort to make the local rapid development, countless arable land, when commerce and trade are rising, Xun You did nothing, the situation of Wadao is almost no different from 20 years ago, arable land has not increased, but the population continues to migrate towards Ningzhou, Xun Yu relaxed taxes, and at any cost from Ningyou to get people, but the local people of Wadao continue to move out, which makes the population not increase but decrease.

Twenty years of time, but failed to change a small country, the ministers have long been dissatisfied with Xun Yu, especially in the year of Yankang, the heart of the Son of Heaven in the world, want to make the world rule, Xizhou by Jia Xu to govern, so that Xizhou business is quite prosperous, especially cotton planting, it has become an important production area of the Han Dynasty, in the south, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, but also under the governance of the ministers, to become rich.

Even He Xinning, these states, because of the blessing of Chi Dao, active commerce and trade, compared with the past, there have been earth-shaking changes, only that Wa Island, there is no change at all, the ministers naturally want to replace Xun You, if they can govern Wa Island, they will inevitably be able to get the attention of the Son of Heaven, just like Fu Zhu, Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Guoyuan, these people, the Son of Heaven and their correspondence, cited as a confidant and beloved minister.

However, these impeachment copywriters, unfortunately, all fell into Xun's hands, Xun is to help the Son of Heaven review these, cough cough, Xun directly discarded these recitals, and didn't even hand them to the Son of Heaven to watch, now Xun is not there, the content of these impeachments has just been seen by the Son of Heaven, Liu Xi has some doubts in his heart, it stands to reason that Xun is not like a person who will hide his sins for his own family, could it be that I have mistaken him??

Liu Xi frowned, continued to read, and watched the impeachment of the ministers and the annual recital of Wajima, he was surprised to find that these ministers were not untrustworthy, what they said turned out to be the truth, Xun Yu has been in Wadao for so many years, and Wadao has almost no development in any economic or other fields, of course, it is not useless.

In each county town of Wadao, Xun Yu has set up official schools, and invited a lot of scholars with a lot of money to give lectures to these Wa people, and constantly open a library, so that everyone can afford to read books, at the same time, after the emergence of printing, the printing volume of books on Wadao is second only to Luoyang, you know, the printing of Luoyang is responsible for the official school platform, it is a temple institution, and the scale and investment are completely incomparable.

At the same time, Xun You received a large amount of aid from the temple, and the aid was not money or food, but all books and the like.

Liu Xi didn't understand, what was this Xun Gong doing? ? Is he going to turn Wajima into a Confucian powerhouse for the Han Dynasty? Looking at the mountains of ministers on the side, Liu Xi didn't know how to treat this old minister, he thought for a long time before he shouted: "Qi Yue!" Qi Yue immediately walked in and bowed to Liu Xi, and Liu Xi said, "Call Pang Tong to me!" ”

Qi Yue hurriedly walked out of the temple and sent the Yellow Gate to invite Pang Tong into the palace.

Pang Tong was studying the Han law in his mansion, and he didn't wait for Lu Su, who made an appointment to meet, but waited for a group of Huangmen, when Huangmen expressed his intentions, Pang Tong was still a little dazed, didn't he be full of favors and sued himself to the Son of Heaven? ? Huangmen didn't give him a chance to think, and dragged him to the palace, and Pang Tong didn't have time to clean up, so he was taken to the palace.

Entering the Hall of Houde, Pang Tong was still thinking about how to answer the question of the Son of Heaven later.

Sure enough, Liu Xi didn't look very happy, frowning, unhappy, Pang Tong met the Son of Heaven, then sat down in front of him cautiously, and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you need to call the ministers so urgently?" Isn't it a thief who angered Your Majesty?? Liu Xi glanced at him, and then said, "It's not that it's angry... Come, look at these...", Liu Xi handed a recital to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong's heart trembled, took the watch, and looked at it seriously.

This is indeed the impeachment of the minister, however, the object is not him, but Xun You who is far away on Wa Island, Pang Tong has never met Xun You, however, I also know in my heart that this person from the Xun family seems to be a close relative of Xun Gong, Pang Tong looked at it seriously, the content of the impeachment is very simple, nothing more than inaction, and there is nothing else out of line, Pang Tong looked at the Son of Heaven with some doubts, and asked: "Your Majesty??" ”

"Hmph, look, there are hundreds of such impeachments here!!" Liu Xi said with some displeasure, looked at Pang Tong again, and said: "However, I don't know what the situation is on Wadao, Xun Xiang is an old minister of Jianning, and I don't believe it in my heart, he will be so inactive, so I want to send a confidant to Wadao on my behalf, so that I can see the situation there and whether there are any difficulties... Or, whether the content of this impeachment is true..."

As the Son of Heaven spoke, Pang Tong nodded and asked, "Your Majesty wants the minister to go to Wadao to inspect the local situation?" ”

Liu Xi said with a smile: "Shi Yuan is my confidant minister, and within this Luoyang, you are naturally the most suitable!" ”

Pang Tongyi was stunned, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, don't dare to hide it, the minister is going to be ready to play later, the minister and Manjun, Lu Jun are discussing the law, the minister recommended Liu Yi of Luoyang, and the king of the Japanese and his close relatives are even more compatible..", Pang Tong didn't finish speaking, Liu Xi interrupted him and said directly: "The matter of Wadao has been delayed for countless years, it's time to solve it... Everything else, wait for you to come back, and then we will discuss! ”

"Alas... Respectfully! ”

"By the way, you go to Wadao this time and bring Liu Yi with you... With him here, you want to find out what the situation is, and the king will not embarrass you..."

"Respectfully!"

Watching Pang Tong leave with a smile, when Pang Tong walked out of the mansion, the smile on the face of the Son of Heaven disappeared, squinted his eyes, and whispered: "The big clan... Haoqiang? ”

Pang Tong walked out of the palace, only to feel that he was unlucky, alas, this arrangement, just at a critical juncture, but he was going to leave Luoyang and go to Wadao, it was really unlucky, Pang Tong sighed in his heart, suddenly, he stopped, turned his head thoughtfully, looked at the golden palace behind him, he understood!! Pang Tong laughed, laughing all the way and walking towards the mansion.

"Good means, really good means!"

When Pang Tong returned to the mansion, Lu Su was waiting for him, and saw Pang Tong walking into the mansion with a smile, Lu Su was stunned, he was the same as Pang Tong, and when he heard that Pang Tong was taken to the Houde Palace, the first thought was to play the Son of Heaven with full favor, Lu Su asked: "Shi Yuan is so happy, it seems that His Majesty does not blame Shi Yuan?" Pang Tong shook his head and said, "You are different, Your Majesty called me to make me a trip to Wa Island..."

"Why?"

"Someone impeached Xun Xiang for inaction."

"Alas," Lu Su sighed and asked, "What about the new law?" If Shi Yuan leaves, it will not be possible to complete it with me and Berning...", Lu Su said, Pang Tong shook his head, and said without any care: "It's okay, without me, maybe you two will do better." Lu Su hurriedly said: "The road from Luoyang to Wadao is very long, maybe during this time, Shiyuan can divide labor with Boning and complete their own parts..."

"Well, no need to say it... I have something important to do, but I'm afraid, I can't take care of this law..."Pang Tong said, packed his belongings, looked at Lu Su in front of him, he sighed, walked in front of Lu Su, and said, "Zijing... Do you trust me? ”

"Hmm."

"The so-called royal law cannot only be used by temples to govern the world, the king's law, the law of the Son of Heaven, the son of heaven, the son of heaven, but to protect the people of the world, the farmers and businessmen, all of whom are the people of the Han Dynasty, should not favor one side and persecute the other... The people of the world shall be in harmony with the king's law... I don't mean to favor the powerful clans, but I think that whether it is the people who farm, or the merchants who go out, or those who are academic, or even the princes and nobles, they should be equal to the king's law!! ”

Lu Su listened to Pang Tong's words and was silent for a long time before asking, "Why did Shi Yuan tell me this?" ”

"Hahaha, when I leave, Zijing will understand!"

The next day, the reluctant Liu Yi followed Pang Tong out of Luoyang and went to Wadao as an envoy of the Son of Heaven.

And after they left, Houde Hall immediately sent the palace and invited Lu Su and Man Chong into the palace to discuss the matter of the new law.
