Chapter 679: Sudden Change
Liu He walked to the middle of the hall in full view of everyone, and gave Liu Chan the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and the emperor did not kneel, which was a rule that was not there before, but Liu He said that this is the rule in the future.
Shu Han, a newly established dynasty, still has many rules that have never been heard of before, such as Zhuge Liang, who is both the prime minister and the father, can enjoy a seat in front of the palace, which makes many old ministers secretly speculate in their hearts, of course, what makes them most vigilant is not the prime minister who must bow down to everything, but the Mr. Tianji, who can almost be said to be useless except for fighting a little harder, also enjoys the same father-like treatment.
One is the father, the other is the emperor, if it is from the perspective of heaven to earth, rain to wind, and road to the sky, it is really neat, but it is self-evident which one is heavier, father and son and master and apprentice.
Liu He's sudden regency not only alarmed the Yizhou officialdom, but also made the civil and military officials in the hall walk on thin ice, praise and worship, and enter the court.
Among the three highest honors of powerful ministers, even if they are as brutal as Dong Zhuo, they only account for the latter two, while Cao Cao is more cautious and only occupies one sword in the upper hall.
And the Mr. Tianji in front of him, who has no real job, is crazy to monopolize the three yuan, and the wolf's ambition seems to have been revealed.
Compared with the new emperor Liu Chan, who sat on the dragon chair and seemed a little restrained, he changed from the prince's companion to the little rat who directly became the servant of the Son of Heaven to be much more mature and sophisticated, he did not give the ministers too many opportunities to speculate about this change, and said loudly: "If there is something to start, nothing to retreat from the court!" ”
The officials changed their voices when they heard this, this sentence was quite familiar to later generations, but in that era, there was undoubtedly a sense of domineering to arrogant, which was of course Liu He's instructions.
Something to play, nothing to retreat from the court, the seemingly simple eight words, but behind them contain deep meaning, and even hide a murderous intention, a group of old ministers who will not be officials in their lifetime, immediately turned these eight words in their hearts over and over again, and came to an astonishing unanimous conclusion.
The conclusion is still eight words, and it is still these eight words, but in a different order.
There is something to do, and there is nothing to do when you retreat.
Adhering to the idea that more things are better than less, the civil and military officials invariably cultivated the closed-mouth Zen.
After a moment of silence, the thoughtful little mouse did not add a piece of material to Liu He, and his eyes cleverly avoided Liu He, looked at His Majesty the Emperor, and waited for a signal.
Liu Chan, who was still very nervous before, was relieved, showed a happy smile without any city, and looked at the master with anticipation, hoping that the master nodded, and this early dynasty that made him uncomfortable and extremely boring was over.
However, Liu Chan found that the master did not look at him at all, but squinted his eyes and coldly glanced at the civil and military officials of His Highness.
Liu Chan subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he felt as if there was something in his master's eyes that he had never seen before, and it wasn't until a long time later that he knew that it was a killing machine.
After scanning back and forth in the hall several times, Liu He's eyes finally fell on a person.
"Mr. Zixu, what is your official position?" Liu He's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire hall, and all the civil and military officials who had heard of Mr. Tianji's martial arts were stunned, especially the few military attaches who barely crossed the threshold of the Thousand Returns realm, and they were even more shocked when they heard it.
He You, who was called Mr. Zixu, didn't dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead, walked out tremblingly, and responded: "Present the first emperor Longen, and the lower officials worship the position of the imperial servant." ”
The few numbers are very intriguing, and the ministers who are still holding a heart for this Mr. Zixu suddenly have playful expressions.
first made a humble posture, and then threw out a sentence to show Emperor Longen, which was clearly a kind of deterrence, and the last sentence was down, and the previous slightly flamboyant style was just rightly taken back, first suppressed and then raised, there was Zhang and some relaxed, and he had not been in the officialdom for more than ten or twenty years, and he couldn't see the subtlety at all.
The reason why He You can make Liu He be called Mr. naturally also has his advantages, among the eight calligraphers in Shudi, he He You occupies a seat, although he is not the leader, but also ranks among the top three.
In this era when reputation is more important than ability, He You soared through the ranks, and finally achieved the position of a servant, which can be regarded as a success.
The servant is in charge of the carriages, horses and livestock in the palace, and it sounds like he is just a coachman's head, but in fact he is a big official in Jiuqing, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, walking around the palace all the year round, although he is a little scared, but he is a fat poor.
The people often say that the royal horses in the palace are more expensive than people, this is true, the Shu Han Dynasty was established not long ago, the palace royal horses have reached more than 200, this is not counting the first-class war horses ridden by the imperial city guards, plus more than a dozen imperial servants under the servants, and then counting the horses who drive the car, people eat horses to feed, a month to say that they have to use thousands of taels of white silver, from each horse's mouth to pull out a little forage money, is a lot of input, so He You's house in Chengdu City is really enviable.
Liu He, who was sitting beside the Son of Heaven safely, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Zixu, can you answer for me, what does this servant do?" ”
In the main hall, there was silence for an instant, and this question, which anyone who sounded like they knew was asked knowingly, suddenly made the atmosphere tense.
Everyone's eyes were all focused on He You on the cusp of the storm, He You was still in that humble manner, and made a detailed statement, listing the official affairs that the servant had to deal with every day, which could be described as no matter how big or small.
At this time, some young officials who were not sure whether He You was acting coy just now finally saw the doorway, lowered their heads and thought to themselves, and at the same time greedily sucked this way of being an official precipitated by time.
Liu He smiled unabated, patiently listened to He You's explanation, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "It seems that Mr. Zixu knows his responsibilities very well, but there is something unclear below, there was an accident in Chengdu last month, and there was a common man's horse that was robbed, I heard that the horse was later sent to the palace, I don't know if Mr. Zixu can know?" ”
He You frowned, thought carefully for a long time, and said calmly: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Liu He smiled strangely, his eyes were chilling, and said: "That's easy to do, if you knew about it, at most you would be a conniving subordinate, and you would be punished for half a year, and this matter would be over, but if you didn't know......"
Liu He took the case without warning, smashed the entire safflower wood case, and said sharply: "Even the ridiculous things done by his subordinates can be hidden from you, incompetent, what's the use of keeping you!" ”
