After Liu Hong finished reading it, he handed it to Dong Zhong and said, "You can also look at Guo Bin's recital." ”

As he spoke, he fell into deep thought: "Guo Bin has found out all the reasons for the great drought in the world, that is, his health is not good, and the East Palace has not been established, and the people's hearts are unstable, so the heavens will send a great drought to warn the people of the world." The solution has also been pointed out, the first is to change the yuan, this is easy to do, since the drought occurred this summer, I thought about changing the yuan; The second is to establish a prince, which is not a problem. The eldest prince has already studied in the East Palace, looking at his performance during this period of time, although the prestige of the king is still a little lacking, he is kind-hearted, and he does not see the ruthlessness of Queen He. ”

Dong Zhong held Guo Bin's recital, although his face remained unchanged, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. originally had no flaws, but because of Taiping Dao's clumsy acting skills, Guo Bin saw through it at a glance. It's just that this matter can never be admitted, the Son of Heaven is not easy to mess with, at the beginning, Dong Pet Guan worshiped Jinwu, who was the brother of the current Queen Mother, but later was imprisoned and executed because he pretended to be the Empress Dowager Yongle.

When Tianzi was only thirteen years old, he was able to order his uncle to be executed, which shows that he was also a ruthless master.

Liu Hong glanced at Dong Chong and thought: "Guangluxun Dong Chong's actions now are just for Xie'er to be able to establish a prince, so as not to repeat the mistakes of his mother Wang Meiren and be harmed by others." However, what I have done is not a murder for my brother. Give Xie'er a king, let him go to the fief to live, and ignore the bad things of all the people in the world, wouldn't it be free? ”

The decision has been made, Liu Hong said to He Jin: "He Aiqing thinks, is Guo Qianyang's twist and turn feasible?" ”

Obedient and listening, how can He Jin not be a human spirit? Listening to Liu Hong's meaning, he wanted to approve Guo Bin's proposal.

suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said slowly: "Although Guo Qianyang is a county order, he is open-minded and broad-minded, and he is not inferior to the ministers; The thinking is far-reaching, and the progress is still too late. As he said, when there is a great drought today, it is really because His Majesty's dragon body is not safe and the East Palace is empty, and Weichen is even more like an initiation. ”

He said this not only to Liu Hong, but also to the ministers present, to let the ministers who were not yet aware of the situation understand, so that they could make plans in advance, this was a favor that He Jin sent them. Sometimes, there are some things that are very different from knowing earlier and knowing later. Otherwise, Liu Hong circulated Guo Bin's recital to everyone, but because of his inconsiderate thinking, he would have to hate him, the uncle of the country.

Isn't the so-called politics about uniting the majority and striking at a small handful? In the current situation, it is the right way to do our best to unite the centrists. As for his own people, they were all notified last night.

Secretly glanced at Liu Hong's face, and saw that he had been listening attentively, and his heart was a little fixed, knowing that after taking ninety-nine steps in one hundred steps, whether Liu Bian could become the prince or not depends on today's trembling.

At the moment, he stabilized his agitated mind and continued: "As for the matter of changing the yuan, Weichen thinks that it is imperative. ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "What Uncle He said is true. Seeing that Dong Zhong finished reading the recital, he waved his hand and motioned for the ministers to circulate it, and then asked, "What does Dong Aiqing think?" ”

Dong Zhong is secretly hating Guo Bin in his heart, what can he think? He didn't have any urgency, so he chimed in: "Weichen thinks that it is feasible to change the yuan, but I don't know what the purpose is with the year of the Common Era? ”

Liu Hong looked at He Jin with an inquiring expression.

He Jin was not in a hurry, took out a scroll of things from his arms, raised his hands, and said: "The minister has a copy of the household registration book of Yangzhai County here, and Yang Zhai ordered Guo Qianyang to send it with a letter, or it can solve Your Majesty's confusion." ”

Liu Hongqi said: "Oh? A mere household registration booklet can solve my confusion? Hurry up and bring it up. At that moment, he instructed Zhang Rang behind him to pick it up.

Zhang Rang was also curious, although he didn't know what was written in Guo Bin's recital, but what he said was already very clear, and his method was to change the yuan. But what does this change have to do with the household registration book of Yangzhai County? Seeing Liu Hong's signal, Zhang Rang didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly picked it up.

To say that whoever has something to hand over to the Son of Heaven needs to be forwarded by the eunuch, probably to prevent things such as the poor dagger or the hidden sword in the belly of the fish.

Taking the household registration booklet presented by Zhang Rang, Liu Hong looked carefully: I saw that this household registration booklet was very different from the common one in the county government, only from the material, he abandoned the thick and bulky bamboo slips, and replaced it with lightweight Caihou paper, which made the booklet called "The Household Registration Book of Dahuaishu Village, Huaihua Township, Xicheng District, Yangzhai County" very lightweight, and obviously easier to carry.

When I opened the cover, I saw that it was full of lattices, presumably made of carpenter's ink fountain, and the lattice was filled with names, genders, dates of birth, ages, original household registration, and current addresses. He pointed to the date of birth and said, "This is born in 178 A.D., and it is marked as the first year of Guanghe, why is it written that it is five years old?" ”

According to the custom at this time, it is indeed necessary to write a virtual age, that is, six years old.

He Jin replied: "According to Guo Qianyang's letter, the first year of the Yuan Dynasty is the first year of A.D., and it has been one hundred and eighty-three years so far, so this year should be 183 A.D. The first year of Guanghe, that is, 178 years. Subtract the two, and the result is called the first year. ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "Well, this kind of algorithm is also novel, and it is indeed a lot more convenient for calculating age." ”

At this time, Guangluxun Dong Zhong said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. The year by the name of the year is the initial determination of Emperor Shizong Xiaowu, in order to pray for the harmony of the people and the abundance of the country, how can it be wasted. Moreover, rashly changing the ancestral system will inevitably lead to chaos in the annual system, and the people will be at a loss, and when there is a great drought in the world and the people's hearts are unstable, it may cause riots. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was called Emperor Xiaowu, and the temple name was Shizong, and he was the first emperor in Chinese history to use the name of the era. In 113 B.C., Emperor Wu took the year as the fourth year of the Yuan Ding, and changed the previous year to Jianyuan, Yuanguang, Yuanshuo and Yuanjiao, and each year was called six years. However, according to some unearthed cultural relics, they are marked with the era names of Jianyuan and Yuanguang, so some scholars believe that the era names of Jianyuan and Yuanguang are not later posthumous.

Seeing Liu Hong's imperceptible slight nod, Dong Chong's confidence suddenly increased greatly, and he continued:

"Guo Bin was originally a grass man in the mountains and wilderness, and he was promoted by His Majesty, so he should have been loyal and wise to repay His Majesty's great kindness. How do you know that since he took office, he has not done his job properly, either building city walls or building houses, and he does not have the appearance of a county parent at all. Now he dares to talk about misfortune and misfortune, and he should behead it to thank the world and pray for His Majesty's enlightenment. As he spoke, Dong Zhong lowered his head.

He Jin listened: Good guy, this Dong Zhong is really unrelenting!

was about to speak, but saw Lu Zhi, who had finished watching Guo Bin's recital, and said: "Your Majesty, Guangluxun Dong Zhong's words, it is difficult for Weichen to agree. Although Guo Bin is a person from the rivers and lakes, he studied under Sima Decao in Yingchuan and is a famous disciple. And with benevolence in his heart, he has his own splendid belly. The Son of Heaven promoted it to Yang Zhai Ling, which is the discerning eye. Since Guo Bin took office, he has expanded the county seat, incorporated the displaced people, and registered the household registration book, so that he is the people of the household and increases the population of Yangzhai County by 30,000. ”

Lu Zhi is the banner of Shilin, so although his official position is not very high, he is quite prestigious in the court, and he is both civil and military, and he is famous for his stubborn and strong character. You must know that with Lu Zhi's prestige in Shilin, his words represent the attitude of the centrists. For a while, He Jinzi was happy in his heart, and secretly congratulated himself that his strategy of marrying Yuan Shao, Guo Bin and others had achieved initial results, but Dong Chong's heart sank and he stopped talking.

Liu Hong was very happy to see that Lu Zhi, a strong courtier, also spoke out to support Guo Bin.

However, Lu Zhi did not stop there, but continued: "However, as Guangluxun said, at this time when the world is in a great drought and people's hearts are unstable, it is really not appropriate to make a big move to reform the ancestral system. The minister thought that Guo Qianyang could be ordered to try it out in Yangzhai County, and if it was really feasible, it could be promoted to the world; If you find something wrong, you can stop it in time before it causes a catastrophe. As for the canonization of the crown prince, the minister seconded it. ”

As soon as Lu Zhi's voice fell, Cai Yong, the speaker of the council, came out and said: "What Lu Shi said is exactly what Lao Cheng said. Minister Cai Yong seconded. ”

Even He Jin was taken aback, he really didn't expect Guo Bin to be so popular in Beijing. Although this Cai Yong is a councilor, he is obsessed with words, either writing history books or composing music for his own entertainment, and he does not pay attention to major events in the imperial court. Today's speech is unusual. In addition, he just presided over the completion of the "Xiping Stone Sutra" this year, and his reputation in Shilin was in full swing for a while, even Lu Zhi was still inferior, and he could be described as a veritable leader in Shilin. The weight of his words is not under Lu Zhi.

And everyone in Beijing knows that although Lu Zhi and Cai Yong are both well-known characters in Shilin, they don't like each other because of their personalities.

Lu Zhi is a person who is both civil and military: he is not only a disciple of a generation of Confucian sect Ma Rong, but also deeply immersed in the righteous way of scripture, and has participated in the compilation of "Xiping Stone Classic", and has unique academic insights; Moreover, he served as the Taishou of Jiujiang County and the Taishou of Lujiang County, and successfully quelled the rebellion in both places. In He Jin's heart, Lu Zhi is one of the most suitable candidates for one thing.

But this man is uninhibited, unsightly, and unkempt. And it's not good for poetry and songs, it really doesn't look like a Confucian sect. Because of this, Cai Yong doesn't think much of Lu Zhi.

And what about Cai Yong? Consistent personability, consistent cleanliness. Proficient in scripture and history, good at rhetoric, still love calligraphy, good at seals, subordinate. In particular, Lishu has the deepest attainments and the highest reputation, and has the evaluation of "Cai Yongshu's bones are insightful, refreshing and powerful". On weekdays, he is not like an important minister of the imperial court, but he is like a monk who is hidden in the mountains and forests. Because of this, Lu Zhi, who had compiled the "Xiping Stone Scripture" together, was not very accustomed to him.

But today, two people who are not used to each other actually speak out in favor of Guo Bin at the same time, how can they not surprise everyone? Not only He Jin, but Liu Hong was also very surprised.

It's just that it is rare that so many ministers have the ambition to agree with one thing, and Liu Hong is also a lot more stable in his heart.

Originally, the matter of changing the yuan was not very revealing, and it should not have been proposed by the Son of Heaven himself, but now it is proposed by Guo Bin, seconded by the ministers, and Liu Hong agrees again, and the matter is settled.

Seeing that the situation was like this, Dong Chong kept silent very sensitively and did not touch the mold of the Son of Heaven in this matter. As for the establishment of the crown prince, hmph, is the prince really so easy to be?
