Chapter 117: Governance
Liu Chan walked into the dormitory, and just took off his imperial robe and changed into civilian clothes, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in. ()
The little eunuch who came hurriedly saluted Liu Chan and said, "Your Majesty, the prime minister and General Zilong are asking to see you outside the palace." ”
"Please come in the prime minister and the general." Liu Chan said while arranging the robe he had just changed.
"Yes." The little eunuch saluted and slowly retreated.
After a while, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun walked in.
"The minister (the last general) will see Your Majesty!" The two saluted Liu Chan in unison.
"Fourth uncle, please take a seat, there are no outsiders here, so don't be polite." Liu Chan smiled and waved his finger at the desk next to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two outsiders saluted Liu Chan again, and then saw Liu Chan sit down before slowly sitting on the desk in front of him.
Liu Chan, who sat down, looked at the silent Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, and asked, "Fourth Uncle Xiang, do you have anything to do with Adou?" ”
The two looked at each other and nodded, and said anxiously Zhuge Liang: "Your Majesty, the ministers and ministers have discussed and plan to hold the Emperor's Sacrifice in the spring of the next year. ”
"Father's Festival?" Liu Chan frowned, but after thinking about it, it was already late autumn, and it was about to be winter, since the festival was going to be held, it was natural to prepare now.
Liu Chan raised his head lightly and sighed: "It's been almost a year since my father returned to heaven."
Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang also sighed and lowered their heads deeply.
Liu Chan held back his mind and said solemnly: "Then during this time, I will be bothered by my father's affairs about the festival." ”
"You should do your best!" Zhuge Liang also solemnly promised Zhuge Liang.
Liu Chan nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything else going on?" ”
At this time, Zhao Yun, who had been closing his eyes and had fluttering silver beards, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing to recuperate the White Ear Army." ”
"Oh?"
With a raised brow, Liu Chan heard the army and suddenly became interested again.
Zhao Yun sighed and said, "Since the last battle with Dongwu Yiling, the White Ear Army has suffered heavy losses, although there is still this establishment, but it has almost been subsumed into General Chen Zhi's Yong'an Garrison, and the White Ear Army has now existed in name only. ”
"Later, the last general discussed with the prime minister and decided to join the White Ear Army with the newly enlisted 20,000 soldiers as the standing army of our Han Dynasty, so I came to discuss with Your Majesty."
Liu Chan gently held the desk, paused for a moment and raised his head, and said, "Just do what the fourth uncle said!" After all, the White Ear Army is a military system created by my father, and it can't be buried in my hands. ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhao Yun nodded, and couldn't help but ask: "It's just that who will be the commander of this new White Ear Army, and I hope Your Majesty will decide." ”
"Let whom"
Liu Chan pursed his lips, the first candidate in his mind was Guan Ping, although Guan Ping was young, he was determined and measured in his work, but if it really came to war, it would only be one-sided, but he also felt the crisis of the all-powerful general of the Han Dynasty.
"Rong Zhen, think about it again," Liu Chan sighed and said slowly.
"Yes!" Zhao Yun also knew the crisis that there were too few all-round generals in the Han Dynasty, and he also sighed.
"By the way?" Liu Chan suddenly looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Father, Lord Jiang Wan is in good health, right?" ”
Hearing Liu Chan suddenly ask Jiang Wan, Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's no big deal, the minister has already ordered him to start collecting grain and distributing the extra grain levied by his nephew, which can be regarded as giving an explanation to the people for his nephew."
"Father is bothered." Liu Chan nodded slightly.
"If Your Majesty has nothing to do, the ministers will leave first and go down to prepare." Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhao Yun and got up to say to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan also hurriedly got up and said, "You two have to worry about it." ”
The two nodded to Liu Chan and slowly retreated.
Looking at the backs of Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun retreating, Liu Chan sighed, and seemed to be still worried about choosing who would be the commander of the new Bai'er Army.
At this time, in front of Jiang Wan's mansion, rows of carriages loaded with bags of grain were slowly surrounded by soldiers holding weapons around them.
On the periphery of the soldiers, villagers from all over the city stood from all over the city, not looking at the bags of grain surrounded by weapons in their hands and with a serious face, but all looked at Jiang Wan standing on the Jiang Mansion in silence, and the scene seemed very quiet.
Jiang Wan stood in front of the gate of the mansion, looking at the truckloads of grain, and then looked at the people standing in front of him looking at him expectantly, and he couldn't see the people, and his heart was in a trance.
Jiang Wan took a step forward, stood on the steps, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Folks, I'm Jiang Wan, and there may be many people here who don't know me." ”
There was a commotion in the audience, and some people quietly stretched out their hands to point to Jiang Wan on the steps in front of them, and whispered to each other.
Jiang Wan ignored the slight commotion of the people under the steps, took a deep breath, and continued: "I am Jiang Wan of Dongcao Peng of our Han Prime Minister's Mansion, and my nephew Jiang Qing is the person who went to the countryside to collect grain in the village a few days ago. ”
As soon as they heard the big official who went to his village to collect grain a few days ago, the people couldn't help but shiver with the cool autumn breeze, and suddenly the surroundings were quiet again.
Jiang Wan continued: "I called the villagers here today to repay my nephew's extra food for the villagers, and my nephew's disrespect to the villagers, I will apologize to the villagers!" ”
"Our Majesty also gave my nephew the punishment he deserved, and when the villagers all line up to register, let's go to the winter with their own food!"
Jiang Wan's eyes were already red after speaking, and he bowed deeply to the people under the steps, and then turned around and walked towards his mansion.
"Big brother! It's not that Gongyan doesn't take care of Qing'er! It's just that he's too greedy! Jiang Wan muttered to himself, and tears of grief flowed down his emaciated face.
And behind Jiang Wan, there was also the sound of the people cheering excitedly.
"Finally food!"
"Yes! I'm still wondering how I'm going to spend this winter! All the grain has been requisitioned! ”
The two old men clutched the grain that had just been returned in the bag in their hands, crying with joy, and their dim eyes couldn't help but look at the mansion in front of them, but they didn't know how to read, but they remembered this official who returned and exchanged their food.
They don't have much desire, they just want to have something to eat with their mother-in-law and children in the cold winter
