Chapter 0721 - Helpless
Cao Cao is still attached to his body, some sweat is coming out of his forehead, although he clearly knows the nature of the Son of Heaven in front of him, he is definitely not as gentle and benevolent as it seems, he has long thought that there will be such a day when the Son of Heaven will be in trouble, but he still didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, yesterday he was still holding his hand, and the Son of Heaven who was so affectionate with himself, just one night passed, and he couldn't raise his head in the temple.
And the rest of the ministers, all with their heads down, Liu Bei frowned, looked at his hands, his hands were trembling slightly, this is known as the most benevolent and righteous Han, the most gentle treatment of the ministers, today, finally showed his fangs, at least, he is much more ruthless than Emperor Xiaoxian, even if it is Emperor Xiaoxian, for those ministers who have followed him for a long time, they cannot be executed so directly, at most they are dismissed.
But on this day, Liu Xi did not have the slightest mercy, the previous measures, directly wiped out Cao Cao's supporters in the temple, all the cabinet system, among those people, there was no lack of cronies of the Son of Heaven, but they were still disposed of together, and the second time, it also had its own purpose, on the grounds of the hippie smiley face, on the grounds of Emperor Xiaokang's death, arrested some courtiers who were not used to Cao Cao, and at the same time favored Liu Bei and Sun Jian, and were directly executed.
Liu Bei took a deep breath, no matter how old he is, the descendants of Emperor Xiaokang really can't be underestimated.
And Taiwei Sun Jian couldn't sit still, he got up tremblingly, and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Most of the people in the Taiwei Mansion are martial artists, and it is a big sin to forget the death day, but the crime does not lead to death... Your Majesty spares your life... The minister will definitely be good in the future... Your Majesty's atonement! He bowed to the Son of Heaven in front of him, three kilometers away from the temple, perhaps his most important affection.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei were able to watch their subordinates being dragged out and ignore it, but Sun Jian couldn't do this.
Looking at Sun Jian, who was extremely frightened in front of him, Liu Xi showed his white teeth and laughed, "Taiwei Gong doesn't have to be like this, since Taiwei Gong intercedes, then I can't sit idly by, but what, my edict has been issued, and I can't change it myself, so let's do it, this monitoring the temple and doing rewards, Sikong also has this position, Liu Sikong..."
Liu Bei slowly got up and bowed to the Son of Heaven, "The minister is here." ”
"These people under the command of the Tai Lieutenant, do you think they are guilty and may be released? The life and death of these people will be handed over to Sikong to deal with..."Liu Xi said with a smile.
Liu Bei's back was a little cold, as if frost, swallowed, and looked at the Son of Heaven above, Liu Xi's words were unquestionable, and there was no room for him to refute, and the Taiwei on the side looked at him with a pleading face, just thinking about being able to keep his subordinates, Liu Xi said: "Taiwei Gong, whether this matter can be done or not depends on Sikong's meaning, you can talk to him and explain one or two..."
Sun Jian frowned, looked at Liu Bei in front of him, and said seriously: "I hope Sikong can let go of these people, these people have been following me for a long time, and on weekdays, they don't have any faults, they have always been diligent, and today they made mistakes because of ignorance, and I hope Sikong will forgive me..."
Alas, I would have liked to spare them, but if I had spared them, would he have spared me???
Liu Bei hesitated a little, everyone's eyes were focused on him, Liu Bei trembled, but still said firmly: "The edict of the Son of Heaven has been issued, and the ministers dare not do anything to release them, they deserve to die!" ”
Sun Jian's face turned red, gritted his teeth, and looked at Liu Bei's eyes, shooting out a strong hatred, with the support of the two ministers behind him, he slowly sat back in his position, but those eyes were staring at Liu Bei, Liu Bei sighed helplessly, faced the Son of Heaven, and bowed.
Liu Xi shook his head and said, "Sikong's move is a little too ruthless, General Lu!" He shouted, Lu Bu in the distance got up, and Liu Xi said solemnly: "Give those people to the full favor to deal with, if there are other faults, they will be dealt with together, if there is no fault, they will be dismissed from the official body... I'm tired..", hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu hurriedly stood up and said, "Be careful!! ”
Lu Bu turned his head suddenly, looked at Sun Jian, and shouted angrily, "Hey!! Don't thank the Son of Heaven for his kindness!! ”
Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, today's events, great sorrow and joy, made him a little dazed at the moment, however, so many ministers of the Taiwei Mansion can be exempted from the death penalty, after all, it is a good thing, he hurriedly got up and bowed to the Son of Heaven, calling the Son of Heaven Shengming, Lu Bu looked at the surrounding ministers again, and the courtiers followed and bowed, reciting the Son of Heaven Shengming, Lu Bu nodded and sat back in his position.
Liu Bei also visited the Son of Heaven with these ministers, but this heart was extremely sad, no matter how he responded, the Son of Heaven had a way to target himself, after such a play, not only the problem of offending the Taiwei, the courtiers would probably not be too close to him, but at least he saved his life, he did not doubt that Liu Xi would kill himself, under the smiling face, was an extremely cold heart.
Perhaps, only a few people can make him hesitate, but he, Liu Bei, is not among those few people.
Liu Xi shook his head and said, "Gentlemen, why do you have to do this? Get up... I was also in a hurry, with so many heroes, how could I put them all to death? Okay, let's get down to business... Cao Situ? ”
Liu Xi asked, Cao Cao was still in a trance and didn't react, Liu Xi asked again: "Cao Situ?" ”
Cao Cao reacted at this time, quickly got up, looked at the Son of Heaven, and Liu Xi said: "Shouldn't you tell the ministers about the strategy of changing the wind?" Cao Cao nodded, looked at the ministers, and slowly talked about the series of policies proposed by Xun You, but this time, he didn't have the temperament of the ministers as he did on weekdays, and his words were not so sharp, and it could be seen that Liu Xi's appearance made him a little distracted.
The ministers were silent, listening to Cao Cao finish talking about the relevant policies, in fact, there are not many, that is, to transport books to the surroundings, the official school to recruit children from outside the Sai to enter the school, in addition, it is the Menzi School, starting from this year, to recruit students from outside the Han Dynasty, this is a feat, opening up a precedent, and passing the torch of the Han civilization to the world, which is comparable to the merit of the saints, until Cao Cao finished speaking, the ministers did not speak.
"Do the ministers have any objections?"
Liu Xi asked, in the crowd, one person slowly got up and asked: "Your Majesty, the minister has objections, is this the case, the book printing, we are not enough in the Han Dynasty, why do we have to send it out??" The minister thought that trade should be carried out fairly, and that some merchants who traded with foreign countries should be given the right to print, and let them print their own books and sell them to the foreign countries, so that they would not lose money..."
It was Liu Ba who got up, and Liu Ba simply said his thoughts from the perspective of the national treasury, and the Son of Heaven thought for a moment before asking: "If the right to print is given to merchants, and they print the art of war and the like, and sell it, how can it be feasible?" ”
"You can let the official school station be responsible for supervising the printing matter, if you want to print, you must report it to the temple, and the person who prints it without permission will be convicted, so you can do it!"
"Good!" Liu Xi agreed.
Liu Ba opened his mouth, finally broke the strange silence of the temple, and the ministers also put forward their own suggestions, after the discussion of the ministers, soon, this matter was formulated, and the establishment of official schools in the country, the promotion of culture and other things, no need to mention it, the Han Dynasty has been doing this for the past forty years, when this matter was formulated, Liu Xi looked at the ministers, cleared his throat, and said: "There is one more thing." ”
The ministers immediately fell silent and looked at the Son of Heaven.
"I have heard that today, when the people are suffering from diseases, they have no way to find a doctor, they can only go to the gods to worship Futu, some diseases that are not serious, can make a family ruined, I heard it, my heart is very unbearable, and I even heard that there are people in the world who pretend to be gods, pretend to be doctors, deceive the people, seek money and kill people, therefore, I intend to open a medicine, train a large number of doctors, and open medical centers in various places to treat the people of the world..."
"What do you think?"
"Good!"
"Your Majesty is merciful!"
"Blessings to the people of the world!"
The ministers spoke one after another, Liu Xi squinted his eyes, looked at them, and said: "I know, Jiaozhou, Liangzhou, and even Hezhou are producing a lot of precious herbs, and I hope that these areas can vigorously cultivate herbs, so that there is no shortage of medicines, Liu Jun...", Liu Xi looked at Liu Ba below, and said gently: "I will leave this matter of controlling the price of drugs to you... These life-saving things can't be so expensive..."
Liu Ba agreed.
Liu Xi looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Zhang Tingshi, I heard that there is hoarding of this drug and raising the price... This will be handed over to Zhang Jun to work hard...", Zhang Fei immediately agreed.
"Manjun... Go all out to arrest those quacks and monks who fool the people and defraud them of money, as long as they are caught, they will be executed immediately! ”
"Respectfully!"
After ordering everything, Liu Xi ordered to retreat from the court.
Everyone left the temple, looking a little dazed, today's Son of Heaven gave them a huge pressure, making them particularly afraid, when Cao Cao walked out of the hall, he still lowered his head, just after retreating, Liu Xi left him, however, did not wait for Cao Cao's explanation, just threw him a sentence, as long as you can convince Guo Jia, let Guo Jia continue to serve as Shang Shuling, and hope that before Cao Gong acts, he can think more and don't act arbitrarily.
Cao Cao frowned, and the damn headache came back at this moment, making his whole person extremely anxious.
Before entering the main hall, the three dukes each brought their cronies, gathered at the door, and entered one by one, and when they came out, the three dukes left alone, even the rest of the ministers, they didn't dare to go to them again, today's three dukes, whether it is seniority or fame, are too high, and it has reached the time when they need to be suppressed, and this time the suppression made the three of them suddenly become lonely and isolated in the temple.
Is the era of Yankang Xinchen coming so soon?
