Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 12 The Banner is not rolled Section 14
Chapter 12 The Banner is not rolled, and in the fourteenth section, there is silence in the inner hall. For a long time, Li Hong's sigh broke the sad atmosphere in the house,
"Right and wrong, there are descendants who comment, let him go......" The eldest princess wiped her tears, slowly sat down beside Li Hong, grabbed Li Hong's hand, and wept silently.
"Your Highness, the general......" Fan A hesitated for a long time and said hesitantly,
"The master heard that His Majesty personally led a large army to attack Nanyang again, and he was worried about the life and death of the people of Jingxiang, so he was very sad, so he ......"
"It is normal for the master to be wild and reckless, to hate the chaos of war, and to have his own views and understanding of the current situation, and there is nothing to blame." Li Hong smiled and shook the eldest princess's hand vigorously,
"Let's leave a few masters in Jinyang. In the past few years, the south has been full of smoke and wars, and it may be difficult to save their lives after they return. The eldest princess looked up at Fan A, her eyes showing an inquiring look.
Fan A hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Does Your Majesty want to fight all the way to Jiangdong?" ”
"The imperial court must do its best to pacify the world at all costs." The eldest princess said solemnly,
"Whether it's two years or three years, the court has to fight. The south is uneven, and His Majesty will never return to Beijing. Fan A's face changed slightly, and the rhythm of the needle immediately slowed down, and his eyes were full of pain and helplessness.
Rather than confronting the north and the south like this, fighting year after year, and making the people of Jianghuai and Jingxiang suffer from war, it is better to do all their best to vent down, kill all the rebellions, completely pacify the world, and let the people of the world permanently get rid of the pain of war.
"I will do my best to persuade Master and ask him to stay in Jinyang." Fan A said.
"There is a shortage of doctors and craftsmen in the north, and the foreigners in the desert use witchcraft to cure diseases. Once the people are seriously ill, they can only sit and wait for death. Li Hong's face was happy, and he said softly,
"If the masters are willing to stay in Jinyang, I can join hands with His Royal Highness to invite Your Majesty and the imperial court, and ask the masters to teach in the Jinyang University Hall and recruit disciples." When Fan A heard this, he couldn't help but look at the general in surprise.
Medical skills are not elegant, they are generally taught in private, belong to family learning, and there is no qualification to teach openly at all, which is also the reason for the serious lack of medical craftsmen.
If the imperial court could change its old habits, allow doctors to teach in the classroom, and include medical skills in the scope of private and even official learning, it would be a leap forward for the spread and development of medical skills and the prevention and control of epidemics.
The status of physicians will also be improved, which will affect the improvement of the status of the Han craftsmen, so that the technology can be spread and developed on a larger scale.
No matter how skilled a medical craftsman is, and whether he travels all over the world all year round, the patients he can diagnose and treat are limited after all.
If he can make a wide number of disciples, then the number of patients saved through his technique will increase exponentially. This is what many doctors dream of, and it is also what many craftsmen dream of.
However, since the dynasties, although all the rulers have known the importance of the number of craftsmen and craftsmen and technology to the development of national strength, under the norms of the pre-Qin etiquette and code system, the education of hundreds of craftsmen with the inheritance of craft styles as the main principle has not received enough attention.
Since the life of Chengkang in the Western Zhou Dynasty, rituals, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and counting
The "six arts" education generally exists in government schools. Astronomy, calculus, medical skills, craftsmanship and other skills and techniques are passed on from generation to generation through means other than official learning, such as the method of passing on from father to son and from master to apprentice.
The "Book of Rites" royal system said: "Those who practice skills in things, Zhu, Shi, Archery, Emperor, Medicine, Divination and Hundred Crafts." "These people are average
"No trouble" means that you can't move your business,
"If you don't move the official", you can't enter the office,
"Going out of the countryside is not with the teeth" that is
"Taxi" compared to them, they have no social status. This provision in the Book of Rites has made the basic identity of the ancient Chinese hundred craftsmen largely unchanged for 3,000 years, and their technical education has been restricted in various ways, and they have no social status, which to a certain extent restricts the inheritance and development of ancient Chinese science and technology.
Seeing Fan A's surprised expression, the eldest princess hurriedly followed Li Hong's words and said, "In a few days, I will invite Lord Taiwei and all the masters to come to the mansion to discuss this matter carefully, and jointly write a concerto. During the period of the rise of the Han Dynasty, everything that should be changed must be changed, and as long as it is conducive to the restoration of national strength, we must work hard to do it. Fan A was surprised and delighted, and nodded again and again.
Chang'an's report on revising the official system was sent to Jinyang, and the eldest princess was keenly aware of the surging undercurrents in Chang'an, and all the forces in the DPRK and China were taking advantage of the opportunity of the Son of Heaven's southern expedition and the general's serious illness, gearing up to face each other head-on.
The revision of the official system will undoubtedly help Xiao Tianzi control authority, but the problem is that the official system is the foundation of the imperial court and cannot be easily changed.
Especially in the current situation, the revision of the official system will definitely cause turmoil in the imperial court. Once something happens in Chang'an, the consequences are unimaginable.
The eldest princess hesitated, and her inner struggle was fierce. Although she has returned to the government of Xiao Tianzi, Xiao Tianzi is too young to rely on the southern expedition to establish prestige in the short term, and in order to ensure the victory of the southern expedition, the stability of Chang'an is the primary condition.
However, now that all parties in Chang'an are on the line, if they want to be stable, unless they come forward to forcibly intervene, but once they come forward, they will push the general to the front, and his situation will be very difficult, and Xiao Tianzi will be restrained everywhere, and there will be a conflict between Xingtai and Jinyang.
Big Brother Leopard will never agree to interfere by himself, in this way, Chang'an will lose its control, and all forces will definitely fight to the death, and it will be a miracle if there is no chaos.
"This is all caused by Zhong Yuan, his restructuring speed is too fast, the influence is too great, and the interests of too many people are harmed, and the result is ......" The eldest princess threw the piece in her hand on the table, looked at Xiao Lan and said helplessly,
"What do you say?" Xiao Lan smiled bitterly,
"I'll go back to Chang'an and find a way to mediate."
"If you go back now, how can you ensure your safety? If something happens to you, Chang'an will be in chaos immediately. Zilong sent you to Jinyang, wasn't he worried that something would happen to you? The eldest princess was angry and shook her hand vigorously,
"Last time, you were able to mediate successfully, because the general happened to be critically ill, and everyone couldn't control the future situation, so they each took a step back, and now it's ......" The eldest princess sighed,
"Now that the situation is clear, everyone is betting on whether the general intends to usurp the society. If the general still resolutely assists His Majesty as in the past and no longer threatens Chang'an, then whoever can get His Majesty's support from all parties in Chang'an will be able to win the final victory. His Majesty wants to march south, fight wars, ask for money and food, want stability in the court, and control the greatest authority, his choice is obvious, so Zhong Yuan ...... this time"
"Jinyang must come forward." Xiao Lan frowned slightly, and her tone was very resolute,
"If Zhong Yuan withdraws from the court, the restructuring will fail, and the new policy is very likely to be completely overturned. At that time, it was not a question of whether His Majesty's southern expedition could be victorious, but whether the community could be preserved. ”
"He won't agree to me coming forward, and he won't come forward himself." The eldest princess did not hesitate to refuse Shinoarashi.
"I don't want you to come forward, and I don't want the general to come forward." Xiao Lan smiled calmly,
"Lord Xu Shao and Master Xiangkai have measured the day, the seventh day of the first month is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and it is auspicious, and a wedding ceremony can be held." The eldest princess's eyes widened suddenly, a blush suddenly appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, and her thin body trembled gently involuntarily.
She has been looking forward to this day for more than ten years, and finally looked forward to it, very excited and happy, but there was a lingering melancholy in the excitement.
Why am I so miserable, my marriage to Big Brother Leopard should be the happiest moment in my life, however, behind this happiness is hidden the tragic game in the court, and it may even be stained with blood and hatred.
Why is this happening? Is it because I was born into the family of the emperor? The eldest princess sent Xiao Lan away and returned to the inner hall.
There was laughter and laughter in the inner hall, Xiaoyu, Fengxue, Li Wen, and Li Xiu were sitting next to Li Hong, talking about something, when suddenly Li Xiu shouted,
"Sing a song, sing a song to Daddy." Li Wen cleared her throat and sang softly,
"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country, it is difficult to get a beautiful woman. "The song is melodious and euphemistic, and the meaning is endless.
"Sister, singing this song should be singing and dancing......" Li Xiu jumped up from the couch and said excitedly,
"Sister, I play the transverse flute, you sing and dance at the same time, and show it to your father again."
"Okay, okay......" Xiaoyu grabbed Li Xiu and hugged her into her arms,
"You two sisters have sung several songs, enough is enough, let's let your father rest."
"Who's with Daddy tonight? Is it a mother or a highness......" Li Xiu sat in Xiaoyu's arms, pushed Fengxue with his hand, and asked with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense." Fengxue affectionately pulled Li Xiu's little face,
"When are you going to save me some snacks?"
"Marry her off, and you'll have peace of mind." Li Hong put his arm around Li Wen with one hand, pointed at Li Xiu with the other, and asked with a smile,
"That song just now is very good, is it a beautiful song that moves the world?"
"Dad, you don't even know this, do you?" Li Xiu's eyes widened, and he looked extremely desperate,
"Dad, don't you know anything but war?" The family was amused by Li Xiu.
"Dad, this is the song of the beautiful woman, according to legend, it was composed by Li Yannian, the commander of the Yuefu Xielu of the Xiaowu Emperor Dynasty." Li Wen said softly,
"Emperor Xiaowu was moved by listening to this song and wanted to witness the Yiren, so he summoned Li Yannian's beautiful and dancing sister, that is, Mrs. Li, who was later deeply favored by Emperor Xiaowu." Li Wen turned her head to look at Li Hong and asked in a coquettish voice,
"Dad, do you think it sounds good?"
"Hmm......" Li Hong groaned a little and shook his head,
"It's not interesting, it's just that the music is good, and it should be regarded as a beautiful sound. Compared with the "Seven Mourning Poems" sung by Master Zhang Ji, it is too far behind. Wang Ji's "Seven Mourning Poems" should have seven paragraphs, and Master Zhang Ji only sang the first paragraph, and you burst into tears, which shows that ......"
"Wang Wei's talent, rare ...... in the world" Li Wen's face showed admiration,
Master Zhang Ji's later singing of "Ascending the Tower" was also composed by Wang Ji, and it was copied all over the world a few years ago. It is said that during his residence in Jingzhou, he had unsuccessful ambitions, so he climbed the Maicheng City Tower, used the scenery to express his thoughts about the township, and then worried about the king's road and the world's unconquered, and wanted to make contributions and show his ambitions. The style of this Fu is desolate and sad, the realm is strong and broad, the emotions are deep and depressing, and the language is refined and clear, which is a masterpiece of this world. When he was in Chang'an, many Confucian celebrities thought that Wang Ji's talent could even be comparable to that of Master Kong Rong back then. ”
"Kong Rong?" Li Hong's heart suddenly ached, and the smile on his face couldn't help but freeze. The eldest princess was about to walk in, and when she heard Li Wen's last words, she felt suffocated in her heart, and her figure suddenly stopped.
"After the death of Master Kong Rong, the scholars in Jianghuai and Jingxiang had a lot of money to buy Master Kong Rong's resignation, and Cao Pi of Xuzhou even paid 100 catties of gold." Li Wen didn't notice the change in Li Hong's expression, and continued,
"The master's "Deathbed Poem" has been spread all over the world and is the most famous."
"Too many words make things fail, and leaks are not secret. The river collapses at the end of the ant hole, and the mountain is bad by the ape's nest. The trickling river and Han Stream, the skylight leads to the underworld. Slander and evil harm justice, and the clouds are shining in the day. There is no loyalty, and Hua Fan is untrue. People have two or three hearts, and peace can become one. The three of them became a city tiger, impregnated with degumming paint. There are many worries about survival, and everything is done for a long sleep. Li Wen sighed sadly.
"Daddy...... Master Kong Rong was framed and innocently killed, although he was open-minded, guiltless and unrepentant, and died calmly, but his grief and indignation of 'slandering evil and harming justice, floating clouds and white sun' are known to the world. ”
"After the death of the master, there was a debate in Chang'an Taixue, how should Confucian scholars choose their own lives? Is it to live in troubled times, and not to seek to be heard by the candidates? Or is it the life and death of the country that does not avoid it because of good fortune and misfortune? Maybe it is wise to have no way to do it, and to embrace it. Isn't it sad that a man like Master Kong Rong was wiped out in life and death, and finally buried his miserable heart with a handful of loess? Li Wen's words were not shocking, and she was frightened by the light rain and the wind and snow.
Li Xiu was even more dumbfounded, looking at Li Hong in horror, for fear that he would be furious.
"You've grown up, you've grown up......" Li Hong hugged Li Wen tightly and smiled with satisfaction,
"I always thought that you were obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you didn't hear anything outside the window, who knew that you had such knowledge, okay......"
"Daddy understands what his daughter means?" Li Wen lowered her head and asked.
"I know, I know what you mean." Li Hong smiled bitterly and sang slowly,
"Too many words make things fail, and leaks are not secret...... Slander and evil harm justice, and the clouds are in the sky...... There are many worries about survival, and everything is done for a long sleep. Brother Wen Ju (Kong Rong) is sharp in his words, sharp and sharp, and his death is not worth it......" The candle flame flickered gently, and the charcoal burning in the brazier occasionally emitted a crisp sound
The sound of "crackling" shattered the silence of the night. Li Hong leaned on the couch, closed his eyes, and silently thought about his thoughts.
The eldest princess sat beside him, holding Li Hong's arm, her right hand gently combing his long hair, her expression elegant and demure.
"The seventh day of the first lunar month." The eldest princess suddenly said,
"Do you think the time is inappropriate?" Li Hong opened his eyes, hugged the eldest princess's thin waist, and smiled apologetically,
"It's not that the time is inappropriate, it's that there is a problem with Shinolan's proposal. You and I both know that it is impossible for Your Majesty to seize Nanyang before the New Year, and if Your Majesty does not seize Nanyang, and if you do not fight to establish your authority, we will not be able to get married, otherwise your Majesty's prestige will be seriously damaged. Xiao Lan is very clear about this matter, but what does it mean that he did not hesitate to damage His Majesty's authority in order to let Zhong Yuan (Li Wei) leave Chang'an before the New Year, and in order to make Chang'an feel our strong support for Zhong Yuan? ”
"Xiao Lan will not do anything to undermine His Majesty's authority." The eldest princess frowned and said,
"I absolutely trust her for that."
"I also believe her, so this can only mean one thing, it shows that Zhong Yuan (Li Wei), Zilong (Zhao Yun), Zitai (Tian Chou) and Yancai (Fu Gan) have joined forces, indicating that the Inner Dynasty, the Outer Dynasty and Xingtai will join forces to eradicate their common opponents." The eldest princess stopped talking, leaned over and put her face on Li Hong's forehead, and sighed resentfully.
Li Wen's words just now also stimulated her a lot. Kong Rong is a victim of the restructuring and a sacrifice of the great cause of Zhongxing, he understands all this, the battle of power and interests, there are wins and losses, and if you lose, you have to pay for your life, there is nothing to complain about, so he calmly went to die.
ZTE needs to be restructured, and restructuring needs to pay a price, and when this price appears in front of people's eyes in blood, many people often can't accept it, and they live in the condemnation of conscience for the rest of their lives.
"Big brother, I will stay by your side for the rest of your life." The eldest princess's cherry red lips kissed Li Hong's long hair, and the sound of heaven was like a beautiful cloud that intoxicated Li Hong's heart.
"Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king." Li Hong's heartstrings trembled, and tears almost welled up in his eyes. That's it...... The old ministers have all passed away, Brother Yu Xing (Xian Yufu) and Brother Yuntian (Lu Yi) have returned to heaven, Brother Zilie (Xu Rong) has left the western frontier, Brother Feiyan (Zhang Yan) has gone north to Jinyang, and the eldest princess has become his wife, so it is time for me to leave the court.
Our generation did their best, and when the Han Dynasty overturned, they fought bloodily to turn the tide and finally laid the cornerstone of ZTE.
We have done what should be done, and now it is time for the generation of Xiao Tianzi, Zhong Yuan, Zilong, Zitai and Yancai to revive the society, and they will use their own blood and tears to reforge the Haoran Tianding of the Han Dynasty.
"On the seventh day of the first month, I will go to the Hanging Urn Mountain to welcome my relatives, and I will marry you and enter the door." On the end of December, Nanyang. The Han army attacked Luyang in three ways, supported each other, and made smooth progress.
At the beginning of December, Yan Liang led his army to conquer the cities of Qicheng and Xinye, and successfully cut off the land and water connection between Xiangyang and Wancheng.
At the beginning of December, Zhong Xuan led his army to conquer the city of Western Hubei and approached Wancheng, and his forward army and Yu Yu of Yucheng successfully joined forces.
In December, Wang Dang led his army to conquer Bowang City, and went south along the east bank of the Shushui River, approaching Wancheng. Three days later, Peng Lie led his army to conquer Jianyang City and approached Yuyang City, and his vanguard army and Yan Liang of Xinye successfully joined forces.
On the seventh day of December, Yu Shi and Zhang Xiu led 40,000 troops to Wancheng City. So far, the 150,000 army of the Han army has completed the encirclement of the Nanyang rebels, and surrounded the 60,000 troops of Nanyang in the three cities of Wancheng, Nieyang and Yuyang.
The Nanyang army, under the command of Kuailiang, stubbornly resisted in this cone-shaped area less than 100 miles long. The former general Yu Shi was ordered to control the generals and commanded all kinds of armies to besiege Wancheng.
In mid-December, Luyang, the Son of Heaven Xingtai. The imperial historian Xun You and the imperial servant Cui Yan explained in detail the necessity and urgency of the revision of the official system, emphasizing the contradictions and conflicts between many policies in the current new policy and the strategy of the Southern Expedition to level the world, and carefully expounded the possible harm to the society after the serious imbalance between the imperial power and the relative power, and finally boiled down to one sentence, whether the official system is revised or not is directly related to the victory or defeat of the Southern Expedition and the great cause of Zhongxing.
Xiao Tianzi did not speak from beginning to end, he sat behind the desk, and practiced calligraphy with full concentration.
Xun You and Cui Yan talked for more than an hour, and he wrote meticulously for more than an hour. It has been almost three years since he left Chang'an, and in the arduous marches and tragic conquests on the frontier, his mind is far more mature than that of children of the same age, and his experience is closely linked to practice, and compared with those Confucian scholars who sit in comfortable study rooms and bright classrooms and read hard with books and talk loudly, he has learned more comprehensive, more in-depth and more fruitful.
From Xun You and Cui Yan's eyes, it can be seen that they are disappointed and disdainful of Xiao Tianzi, and at the same time, because of Xiao Tianzi's rude behavior, they still feel a little unhappy.
Xiao Tianzi looked deaf, but he saw the expressions of the two of them, and he also remembered the words of the two, and he had his own thoughts.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have finished their performances." Cui Yan arched his hand and said,
"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?" Xiao Tianzi grinned, put down his pen, pointed to the words on the desk that had not dried the ink, and said eight words,
"Words, hearts also; Books, heart paintings, too. Xun You and Cui Yan looked at each other, the expression on their faces suddenly became solemn, and the contempt in their eyes was swept away in an instant.
These eight characters were said by the famous Confucian Yangxiong of this dynasty, and later became an important judgment on the aesthetics of calligraphy, glorifying the history of calligraphy.
Now that the Son of Heaven says this, he will definitely not be moved because he has written words for more than an hour, he means something.
The two of them looked at the black and white words on the desk. The Son of Heaven wrote a book, the font is flat and dignified, thick and dignified, giving people a sense of strength and strength, which shows that the Son of Heaven has a simple temperament and a firm will.
Lishu is the standard word of this dynasty, the past dynasties are good at Lishu Xiao He, Cao Xi, Cai Yong, Wang Cizhong, Shi Yiguan and others, but the calligraphy masters have created cursive from Lishu, such as Shi You, Du Du, Cui Ming, Zhang Zhi, Zhang Chang and other cursive
"Sages". Liu Desheng, a native of Yingchuan of the Xiaohuan Emperor Dynasty, created a book of travel. The world's famous Zhong Xuan is a regular script master.
Since the creation of the chapter grass by Shi You, cursive writing is very popular, and the great Confucian Zhao Yi therefore said in "Non-Cursive Script" that cursive writing is not ancient, and it is a simple work that is suitable for things since the end of the Qin Dynasty, which is not the business of a saint, but also very appropriate, and it is the ear of the fine skill.
However, the trend is unstoppable, cursive for more than 200 years is unprecedented, when today's son does not follow the vulgar flow, Xi Lishu, simple and heavy, of course, there is the meaning of inheriting the cause of the saints.
Looking at the content carefully, it turned out to be Jia Yi's "Dry Cloud Fu",
"But the great drought of Haotian is the right reason for losing sperm and ...... Resentful and unavoidable, stealing blame for being in power. Why should he behave badly, and his politics will be out of the right direction...... Baiyun has no resentment, but no one is embarrassed! "Jia Yi was a famous minister of the Xiaowen Emperor's dynasty, and his words were famous all over the world.
His "Dry Cloud Fu" uses the great drought in the ninth year of Emperor Xiaowen (171 BC) to directly denounce the malpractice of human governance, believing that political disharmony has aggravated natural disasters and directly led the people into the abyss of suffering.
What is written on the white paper is Lishu, and the content of the writing is "Dry Cloud Fu", and after a little thought, you can understand the meaning of this little genius.
He needs stability in Chang'an, does not agree to revise the official system, and does not want to cause anger and resentment because of political discord, and then delay the great cause of Zhongxing.
The two ministers did not persuade again, and bowed and retired. The Son of Heaven is too young, although he is smart, but he does not understand political affairs, so it has nothing to do with the overall situation whether the Son of Heaven can go here, the key is to convince the minister.
Xingtai Shangshu ordered Fu Gan, Shangshu left and right servants Wang Ling and Yang Xiu, and six Cao Shangshu Zhao Song, Sima Fu, Zhao Xing, Xu Miao, Ying Ying, Liu Zhen and other ministers After reading the chapter, they had different opinions, but most of them opposed the revision of the official system.
What Xun You and Cui Yan didn't dare to say in front of the Son of Heaven, they had no scruples in front of these people. Jinyang is now the de facto center of power, if you don't take advantage of the opportunity of the general's serious illness to change the official system, drive Prime Minister Li Wei out of the court, and centralize power in Xiao Tianzi, who can guarantee that Xiao Tianzi will have sole authority in the future?
There is no doubt about the general's loyalty to the big man, and there is no doubt about the eldest princess's love for the little emperor, but can the two of them hand over power if they are willing to hand over power?
Look at today's court, who actually dominates the court? It's Prime Minister Li Wei. Who controls the government in the court today?
It is a martial artist and a military meritorious class. Prime Minister Li Wei did whatever he wanted in the court, revising the law without authorization based on his own likes and dislikes, calling it a reform, and then with the support of the military meritorious class in the court, with the help of various prefectures and counties completely controlled by the military meritorious class, to forcibly promote and implement his new policy.
In this case, can the young Tianzi take back power? Can the general and the eldest princess hand over their authority with confidence?
After the general and the eldest princess went to Jinyang, why didn't you return to Chang'an with the little emperor? What to worry about?
Aren't you worried that Li Wei will be arrogant and arbitrarily abuse power and hold the Son of Heaven hostage? If Li Wei is not removed, it will be difficult for the society to be safe, and the period of Zhongxing will be even more unattainable.
Let's just say that the Nanyang fiasco in September, who was the initiator? It's Li Wei. When the rebellion in Northern Xinjiang had not yet been quelled, in order to eliminate dissidents, he tried his best to persuade the eldest princess to give an order to attack Nanyang, what was the result?
Nanyang fought back and forth for more than five months, spent countless money, and ended in a fiasco, is this what a virtuous minister should do?
Is this what a minister who advocates restructuring and takes the revitalization of society as his own responsibility should do? If this kind of person does not drive him out of the court immediately, the Son of Heaven's imperial expedition is very likely to become a butcher's knife for him to eliminate dissidents again, and the southward expedition may suffer another fiasco.
Xun You and Cui Yan's words are not alarmist. Li Wei has been from Northern Xinjiang to Chang'an for more than 20 years, how has he ever met an opponent in the court?
The general fell ill, Xu Rong left the western frontier, Zhang Yan went north to Jinyang, who else can the military class in the court rely on if they don't rely on Li Wei now?
If Li Wei's power and the military strength of the military class are closely united and work together, given time, not to mention the little emperor, I am afraid that even the general and the eldest princess will be afraid of three points.
"You should go back to Chang'an immediately to make pre-arrangements." Fu Gan said categorically,
"The matter of persuading Your Majesty to issue a decree to revise the official system will be left to us." Fu Gan, Wang Ling, Yang Xiu, and Zhao Song met the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven was wearing his hair loose, lying on a chair, holding an ear cup in his hand, and was munching on a piece of Hu cake with relish.
Eat a bite of bread, drink a sip of water, very leisurely. Over the years, he has been outside the Saiwai for a lot, and Xiao Tianzi has been contaminated with a lot of Hu people's habits, and likes to use Hu beds and chairs to eat Hu people's food.
This Hu cake is from the Western Regions, baked in the oven, the dough is crispy and fragrant, and it is very delicious. Seeing the four ministers enter the tent, Xiao Tianzi jumped up from the chair, pointed to the plate on the table and said vaguely: "There are a few pieces of cake, just baked, you can taste it." The four ministers were unceremonious, one took a piece, and the five monarchs and ministers chewed the cake together.
Yang Xiu ate very quickly, and reached out to get it again. There were only two pieces left on the plate, and Xiao Tianzi was in a hurry, worried that the last piece would be taken again, so he hurriedly grabbed it.
He was biting half a piece of bread in his mouth, holding the ear cup in his left hand, and holding the Hu cake he had just grabbed in his right hand.
Xiao Tianzi kicked at Yang Xiu is mouth, biting half of the Hu Cake and letting out an angry roar. Yang Xiu comprehended and took the ear cup in Xiao Tianzi's hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward......" Then he poured it into his mouth and drank it all. Xiao Tianzi held a piece of cake in one hand, puffed out his cheeks, glared at Yang Xiu, and was so angry that he could only hum.
"Your Majesty, are you not eating barley rice?" Wang Ling asked while eating deliciously.
"It's not tasty." Xiao Tianzi said with a bitter face,
"It's better to be in the desert, with meat to eat and milk to drink."
"Bad in the palace?" Fu Gan said with a smile.
"The Imperial Palace?" Xiao Tianzi's eyes showed envy,
"It's good, but when I think of the outside of the palace, I don't dare to go back. The general said that if you stay in the imperial office for a long time, it is easy to forget the world. ”
"Your Majesty can come out to patrol often." Yang Xiu elegantly wiped the crumbs on his mouth, and said meaningfully,
"This cake tastes very good, but unfortunately there are too few." Xiao Tianzi was startled, and subconsciously hid the cake in his hand behind him,
"Aiqing, I still have dog meat here."
"Dog meat?" Yang Xiu's voice suddenly raised, and he rubbed his hands excitedly,
"Your Majesty, do you have any wine?" Xiao Tianzi shook his head and said seriously: "There is no wine, there is a bamboo cane." Fu Gan and the others laughed.
Xiao Tianzi refused to revise the official system, no matter how dexterous Wang Ling, Yang Xiu and others were, Xiao Tianzi just shook his head.
The four of them did not give up, chattering around him. Xiao Tianzi was helpless, lying on Hu Qi, stilting Erlang's legs, and roaring at the top of his throat.
"Drinking horses in the Great Wall caves, the water is cold and hurts the bones of horses. In the past, it was said that the officials of the Great Wall should not be left in Taiyuan. The official work has its own process, and the sound of harmony is built. A man would rather die in a fight, how can he build the Great Wall in a gloomy manner! The Great Wall is three thousand miles away. There are many healthy and few in the border cities, and there are many widows in the inner houses. Write books and inner houses, and marry and don't stay. Be kind to your new aunt and always remember my late master. The newspaper went to the border, and Jun Jin's words were disdainful. In the midst of calamity, what is the purpose of keeping his family? Be cautious when giving birth to a boy, and breastfeed a girl. Jun Du did not see the Great Wall, and the bones of the dead were supporting each other. The knot is the king, and the heart is closed. Knowing that the border land is bitter, how can a cheap concubine be self-gold for a long time? "The four of them stay together with Xiao Tianzi all the year round, and they know Xiao Tianzi's temper, as long as he shouts and sings at the top of his voice, it means that he has lost his temper and can't say it anymore.
Yang Xiu walked away with the uneaten half of the dog's leg. Wang Ling and Zhao Song looked at each other and smiled bitterly, said goodbye and left.
"Your Majesty has often sung this hymn since he arrived outside the Saiwai." Fu Gan asked,
"Your Majesty stands on the Great Wall and sings Lord Chen Lin's song "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Caves", what does it feel like?"
"It's bitter...... I want to cry......" Xiao Tianzi blushed and said in a hoarse voice,
"If the smoke does not stop, the people will build the Great Wall, and there will be countless deaths, which is bitter...... Singing this poem, I am reminded of the Battle of the West Sea, the Battle of Sunset Plain, and the countless dead heroes...... It's not easy for people to live, it's not easy......" The Son of Heaven hugged his legs and sat on the chair, tears rippling,
"We fought in the frontier for three years, General Liyi died, General Xian Yufu died, tens of thousands of soldiers died, and the general was also dying. Now that I have arrived on the battlefield of Nanyang, the Great War of the Southern Expedition has begun, why do they not fight to the death, and they have to kill each other? Fu Gan sighed bitterly,
"Your Majesty, we have told you too much along the way. You yourself know the situation in Chang'an, and there are many reasons why today's situation has occurred. But one thing is the most important thing, that is, it has harmed the interests of the gate valve families, bureaucrats and businessmen, especially the interests of the gate lords, big bureaucrats and big businessmen, whose vested interests have lost too much. ”
"How many of them are there? If the treasury of the Han Dynasty is to be enriched, if the national strength of the Han Dynasty is to be enhanced, and if the Han Dynasty wants to prosper, it must rely on the millions of people in the world, not them. Xiao Tianzi said excitedly,
"The general once told me that the Yellow Turban Army rose up because there was no food and no way to live. The people have worked hard all year round, and what is the grain they grow? What about livestock? What about the woven cloth? Where have they gone? Who robbed them all? At that time, wars were frequent, and the army was fighting everywhere, but the treasury was empty, and the imperial court had to borrow money in order to fight. I don't even understand, is it possible that the emperor alone has done something wrong, and millions or tens of millions of people will flock to it? Xiao Tianzi jumped to the ground, waved his fists, and shouted: "These big gates, big bureaucrats, and big businessmen are the moths of the big Han, they suck the blood of the big man, eat the flesh of the big man, and finally don't even let go of the bones of the big man, these people should all be killed." Fu Gan's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but shiver.
After three years of conquest, under the influence of war, Xiao Tianzi became more and more similar to the general, and even the tone and tone of his speech were almost the same as the general.
"It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty has to make a gesture of revising the official system and making a-for-tat posture with Jinyang, so as to help the Prime Minister get out of the crisis and stabilize the situation in Chang'an." Xiao Tianzi was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and waved his hand angrily,
"Only by killing these people can I calm the world and prosper the society."
"Your Majesty......" Fu Gan shook his hand slightly,
"You know what I know, don't leak it." Jump to
