Liu Bei took a long breath, raised his voice, and said loudly: "The world, the world of the world, the world of the people, not the world of one person." The people of Li have worked hard all their lives

It was all blood and sweat in exchange, and the sage said: If you take it without telling it, you are a thief. My emperor is the co-lord of the world, and the so-called whole world is the king's land, and all the people look up to it

Let my emperor call the shots, and ask my emperor to issue an order: prohibit officials from being thieves - that is, prohibit local officials from stealing the people's property under any name, or divert the people's property for other purposes.

I ask the Emperor to admit that the people have two natural rights over their property: first, to make any decisions of their own accord without the consent of any man; Second, the consent of the owner of the property must be obtained before another person can engage in an act that may involve the property of another person.

I believe that this is a sacred and inviolable right granted to free people by God, and anyone who opposes this is the public enemy of the millions of people in my Qingzhou. ”

Liu Bei said this, pressing his sword in his hand, and his eyes were aggressive: "The people of Qingzhou are all free people, they sent troops to fight for Your Majesty, and they paid for the renovation of the imperial capital Luoyang, hoping that one day, when Your Majesty returns to the imperial capital, this troubled era can be over, and the rights of tens of millions of Li people will be guaranteed." It was for this purpose that the people set up a government over their heads and supported the officials with their own taxes. The heart of the people of Qingzhou, please see your majesty. ”

Liu Bei did not say "Your Majesty's permission", but directly asked "Your Majesty to investigate", which was obviously forcing the emperor to express his position. If you say that the four strategies just now, Liu Bei still used a consultative tone, at this moment, he has already appeared with a dagger.

It is perhaps not surprising at all that the recognition of the right to private property is the prelude to freedom. Accordingly, the common people were given limited freedom to gain personal control. Within the limits of private property rights, the common man will no longer be slaves and will be free to practice his values and pursue his own goals. China will completely shake off the shadow of a slave society and have a complete right to live – the right to legally enjoy the survival of its own property. As long as the emperor agrees to this point, the other demands will inevitably be realized in a logical transition.

The officials were dumbfounded. The imperial court has been under the control of the Xiliang soldiers for many years, and the really backbone officials are either killed, or they can survive to this day, Yang Biao and others initially made trouble, but they wanted to use Lu Zhi to fight for the greatest interests of the imperial court, and at this moment seeing Liu Bei's viciousness, Lu Zhi only frowned slightly, but did not interfere, and immediately looked at him.

At this moment, Lu Zhi was also extremely dissatisfied in his heart, but what he was dissatisfied with was only Liu Bei's arrogant attitude. In the past few years, I have witnessed the great governance of Qingzhou, and I have seen the effect of this policy spread to the three states of Hebei, Merger, and Youzhou, and made these three states stronger. Lu Zhi is also quite complacent in his heart - after all, Liu Bei has partially realized his ideal of governing the world, after all, this disciple who dominates the north is also teaching him to read and write by himself, and the honor he has won in Liu Bei is also unparalleled in his life, and the love of the people is from the heart, not from fear.

The most important thing is that the activity of Qingzhou thought is also the most contemporary, and the emergence of new products in an endless stream has caused many old theories and theories to suffer from the catastrophe. At this moment, the people especially need to accept the new concept of so-called "authority". During this period, Liu Bei vigorously supported the Mencius school of thought of the famous Confucian Zhao Qi (now living in Liu Biao's office in Jingzhou), with a special emphasis on promoting Mencius's "people-oriented thought" and explicitly supporting Zhao Qi's idea of listing Mencius as a "sub-sage" alongside the Confucian sage.

Under the influence of people-oriented thought, Lu Zhi was also gradually affected - he witnessed the erosion of Han politics, and he also experienced the prosperity and strength of Qingzhou. When Liu Bei stated, Lu Zhi also faintly echoed in his mind: "If you change the law, you will live, and if you don't change, you will die." The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light, so the people of the hill are the sons of heaven (Mencius. Wholeheartedly"!

Liu Bei is now coming forward to say the request to change the law, which is to ask for the life of thousands of Li people of my Han Dynasty, although it is offensive to the monarch, however, in order to make my Han Zhongxing, someone has to be this evil person. And Liu Bei is a villain, at least I can control it. The people, the king's foundation, at this critical moment, I can't make trouble for Liu Bei. ”

Lu Zhi didn't speak, the hall was silent, the emperor looked left and right, and only promised: "Qing Yan, it is very reasonable." ”

Liu Bei turned around and shouted to Xiao Fei: "Command the three armies, the emperor has promised it." ”

The emperor's face was pale, the ministers were panicked, and a sneer appeared on Cao Cao's lips. At this moment, there was a faint shout of killing outside the main hall, and the sound gradually approached. In the hall, the ministers were even more flustered, some fell limp from their chairs, some jumped up and prepared to escape, and some even shrank into a ball and trembled.

Except for Lu Zhi, only Cao Cao in the hall understood this voice - when the Qingzhou soldiers were fighting, they would not shout so chaotically. Seeing that the emperor wanted to hide under the table in a panic, Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to explain and said half comfortingly: "Your Majesty, this shouting and killing sound was sent by the Xiliang soldiers, indicating that the Xiliang soldiers have attacked the Guanxia ......"

Seeing that the emperor had calmed down, Cao Cao turned around and bowed his hand to Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, there are not many soldiers in Hangu Pass, do you need me to transfer the Yanzhou soldiers to help guard the pass?" ”

The smile on Liu Bei's face slowly disappeared, and a cold look appeared on his face, and the change in his expression was so obvious that even the air in the hall seemed to be getting colder and colder.

Xiahoudun jumped up and was about to speak, when Gao Shun stretched out his leg and hooked it, and he couldn't help but stumble to the ground. Seeing Gao Shun make a move, Dian Wei rushed up and knocked down Cao Hong with a punch. "Canglanglang" was a sound of drawing swords, and the Qingzhou generals kicked down their chairs and held the Yanzhou generals with their bright swords.

Lu Zhi rushed out and reprimanded: "What are you doing? Do you want to fight in front of you? What a guts! ”

Liu Bei waved his hand, and the Qingzhou general took a step back neatly, guarded the blade with one hand, made a bright sword salute, and put the knife into the sheath.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Xuande Gong, the enemy army has reached the pass, I just want to transfer soldiers to assist you in the defense. In this battle, the Yanzhou soldiers were willing to obey Xuande's command. ”

Liu Beipi didn't smile, raised his eyes and saw that Xiao Fei had returned to the door of the hall, hooked his fingers, beckoned him to step forward, and ordered: "Sima (join the army) in the army will go to the palace." ”

After the two entered the palace, under the guidance of Liu Bei, they first visited the emperor, and then reported to Liu Bei: "The Xiliang soldiers have arrived at the pass, and General Gongsun and Captain Zhou are taking up their duties. At present, the Xiliang soldiers have not yet built a siege ladder, and we will strictly obey the orders of the lord, and the enemy will never return fire if they have not climbed the city. ”

Liu Bei asked leisurely: "Has the grave been dug?" ”

Liu Hao replied with a sad face: "There are only more than 100 people transferred from the gate, the cold wind is cold, the ground is hard, and the soldiers have only dug more than 1,000 graves so far. ”

The ministers were puzzled, the enemy soldiers were coming to the city, but Liu Bei wanted to draw people to dig graves, what were they doing? They all stared at Liu Bei worriedly, but Liu Bei's subsequent questioning made them feel at ease.

"It's not enough, this number is far from enough, there are 150,000 Xiliang soldiers outside the city, and according to the casualty rate of thirty to one, at least 5,000 pits must be dug."

Liu Bei asked again: "Is Sima from the Ministry of Industry here?" How many captives can be housed in his captive camp? ”

Li Ping replied succinctly: "The ships carrying troops have not yet returned, and they will be able to carry away 30,000 prisoners, and the Engineering Department plans to renovate the plain roads this winter, and 30,000 prisoners are just enough." ”

After Li Ping finished speaking, he stared at Tai Shi Ci and stopped talking, Liu Bei urged: "What else, say." ”

Li Ping said hesitantly: "The Zhen family in Yecheng has sent people to chase General Taishi all the way to Hangu, they said: General Taishi is married in the spring of Mingchun, they want to buy Wu Qian's captives as Miss Zhen's marriage, if there are still captives left, they are willing to buy them all, and they have prepared them for their own use." ”

Liu Bei glanced at Tai Shici and said in his words: "According to military law: the labor income of all prisoners belongs to the retired soldiers' service associations, and then the veterans' service associations will settle the accounts with the captured soldiers. If the Zhen government wants to buy labor labor, let them contact the veterans' service agency. ”

Liu Bei walked to Tai Shici's side in a few steps, pryed and hit Tai Shici's helmet with a knife, and said word by word: "Military law is ruthless, who dares to show favoritism, will never be spared!" ”

Tai Shi Ci dodged and defended with a flushed face: "Lord, if the Zhen Mansion finds me, I will say the same." ”

Cao Cao sighed and laughed at himself: "It seems that I am worried about nothing, since Xuande has even arranged the disposal of the prisoners, this battle will be confident." ”

Liu Bei turned around and approached Cao Cao's side, stared at him intently for a moment, and said lightly: "Cao Gong has a heart, so let's do it, you transfer half a legion and help me dig a grave." The rest of the people...... Tomorrow morning, come with me. ”

Cao Cao ignored Xun You's eyes, nodded boldly, and agreed: "I am willing to listen to Xuande Gong's dispatch." ”

Liu Bei observed Cao Cao silently, for a long time, stretched out his hand and pulled Cao Cao, and said meaningfully: "That's it, let's go to the city together to observe the enemy's situation." ”

Without waiting for the emperor to make a statement, Liu Bei bowed his hand to the emperor to say goodbye. The generals of Yanzhou and Qingzhou immediately poured out.

In the hall, the noise sounded loudly, and the ministers were red-faced and emotional.

Lu Zhi was in an awkward situation, standing with his hands crossed and not saying a word. Huangfu Song stared at the backs of Liu and Cao in the distance, squinted his eyes, and groaned with his beard.

"Lord Huangfu, please say something." The cries of the ministers woke up Huangfu Song, who pointed outside the hall and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, whose army is outside?" ”

The ministers were speechless, and Huangfu Song asked the ministers again: "You are waiting for the noise, have you ever thought that Liu Xuande himself is also a member of the Han clan, and he has been paying tribute for several years. Also, at this moment, we are all in the Xuande army, swimming fish in the kettle, hanging meat on the anvil, what qualifications do you have to make noise? ”

Yang Biao hesitated at the moment, kept rolling his eyes, analyzing the situation, the series of incidents just now showed that Liu Bei had moved to kill. Yang Biao once bullied the Qingzhou soldiers who arrived first, at this time he was afraid that Liu Bei would turn his face and shoot at him, how dare he force his head again, and take any big ideas.

Enlightened self-preservation is the discipline of Confucianism, impassioned treachery, unhesitating betrayal of friends to seek glory, and unswervingly obedient to the strong, which is the true character of Confucianism. Emperor Fu Song reminded that the ministers in the palace had begun to turn their minds, thinking about how to curry favor with Liu Bei in order to fight for their greatest interests - anyway, the emperor did not hesitate when he betrayed the ministers, and if he had the opportunity to sell the emperor for a good price, the ministers naturally had no conscience.

Lu Zhi coughed lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Xuande just proposed five strategies, although the words are harsh and the etiquette is offensive, but he did not ask the Holy Lord to immediately issue an edict to implement it. The six strategies mentioned by Xuande, the five strategies that have been said, do not ask for personal gain, but everywhere they ask for the elimination of separation, the pacification of troubled times, and the restoration of the prestige of our Han court.

I suggest that the ministers can discuss this, and before the discussion, you can go to the four prefectures of Qingdao, Hebei, and Youzhou, and I will make the decision and let the Senate issue a road guide (pass) for you.

Now, I think it is necessary to formulate a new etiquette before the king as soon as possible, so as to prevent others from being presumptuous in the court, where is the servant? Develop a new ritual now. First of all, the kneeling must be abolished, and the monarch and the ministers must each sit in chairs. secondly, the abolition of slips and the use of paper to write official documents of the imperial court; Thirdly, it is necessary to establish the order of the minister's schedule and the rules for answering before the king......"

On the upper floor of Hangu Guancheng, Liu Bei and Cao Cao stood side by side, and the generals of Qingzhou and Yanzhou were scattered around to be on guard. Liu Bei looked at the noise of the Xiliang soldiers absentmindedly, and did not say a word for a long time.

Cao Cao's mind was not on the Xiliang army outside the pass, he was stunned for a while, and he opened his mouth to break the silence: "Just now in the palace, I proposed that the Yanzhou soldiers enter the customs, didn't Xuande Gong think that I wanted to deal with you?" ”

Liu Bei grinned and smiled silently: "This, it's not worth mentioning." Brother Meng De has a heart, and he is afraid of it...... The reform of the official system and the adoption of the prime minister's responsibility system, what does Brother Meng De think? ”

Although he had already understood that Liu Bei asked him to come out with him, he wanted to discuss something with him, but this direct question still startled Cao Cao: "This...... Xuande Gong's words are too abrupt, let me think about it again. ”

Liu Bei's tone was calm, but the words he said were like the sky falling apart: "The three dukes should be set up under the prime minister, the three dukes should have clear responsibilities, the Taiwei is in charge of the military, Sikong, I suggest that in the future, he will be in charge of criminal law, justice, and public security, and Situ will be in charge of people's livelihood, official selection, tax burden increase, etc., and the supervision is independent of the prime minister's system, and there is no right to appoint and dismiss officials, but it has the right to impeach officials."

The system of three princes and six secretaries is very detailed in the division of official responsibilities, I heard that Brother Cao is also studying this official system, if Brother Cao agrees with my proposal, I recommend Brother Cao to serve as the first prime minister, and the term of office is 10 years, how about it? ”

Cao Cao closed his mouth in astonishment: "Why doesn't Xuande Gong make himself the prime minister?" Besides, can you rest assured that I will step down in ten years? ”

Liu Bei smiled confidently: "What will happen in 10 years, let's talk about it in 10 years." ”

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, pacing back and forth on the city tower, carefully figuring out Liu Bei's true intentions, and suddenly rushed to Liu Bei's side with a gust of wind, and asked, "Are you willing to do this, what are the conditions?" ”
