Chapter 11 Initial Thinking and Changing Methods
Yan Shu clapped his hands vigorously and said excitedly: "This is really a wonderful way!" Overcoming rigidity with softness, four or two thousand pounds, why can't the old minister think of it? After speaking, he knelt on the ground with a plop and said with tears in his eyes: "My Wang Tianzong is keen, if I can work hard, I will be able to make my Great Zhou Dongshan rise again." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Li Gui also knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Thanks to the blessing of heaven, the old minister has to meet the lord of Mingrui, which is the luck of the old minister and the luck of the Great Zhou." β
"Two Aiqing, please hurry up." Ji Yan helped the two of them up: "Hard-working people, the sky does not live up, those who have a will, things can be done." As long as we work together, nothing cannot be done. Lone here has to ask the two Aiqing for a favor first, I hope you can agree. β
Yan Shu and Li Gui looked at him again with puzzled expressions.
Ji Yan bowed slightly and said: "Although Lone is a son of heaven, he may also have some talent, but after all, he is young, and he will inevitably do some foolish things, which will attract the resistance of hundreds of officials in the court, and at that time, the two Aiqing will definitely have to help me!" β
The two of them said angrily: "If the Son of Heaven wants to do great things, just do it, as long as it is beneficial to the country, we will support you no matter what." β
Ji Yan snickered in his heart, with your promise, I'm not afraid that you won't follow me then, I'm going to make a mess! said in his mouth: "According to what Taishi Yan just said, the Son of Heaven ceremonial guard was dispatched to welcome the King of Qin for sixty miles. As for the necessary preparations, it was left to the old lady to do it, and the suburbs were also sent by Aiqing on behalf of Gu. β
Yan Shu solemnly accepted the king's order: "No." β
"As for the defense of the city, the old general continued to do it according to the established deployment, although there was no need to fight, it was good to let the sergeants practice defending the city. When the King of Qin is finished this time, the king will come to the military camp to inspect the team, so please prepare the old general, and when he arrives, he may not be able to eliminate some incompetent generals. β
Li Gui also bowed down to receive the order: "No." β
"Also, there is no need to fight, the army consumption is small, the 180,000 Hu grain sent by the public office in two weeks, Gu gave 20,000 Hu to the old general, for the needs of the army and the subordinate farmers who assisted in defending the city in the near future, and gave Yang Taiwei 60,000 Hu as a reserve of military food, and the remaining 100,000 Hu, Gu General made another arrangement."
Yan Shu asked suspiciously: "I don't know what my king wants for this 100,000 grains?" β
Ji Yan shook his head and said, "Just let Gu sell a pass first, and you will know when the time comes." β
"Guanzi?" Yan Shu muttered the word, but couldn't figure out what it meant.
Just as the three of them had finished their deliberations, a cry alarmed them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Ji Yan looked up and saw Ji Dong hurrying towards Wengcheng, followed by a few small chamberlains.
"What's the matter? So shouting. Ji Yan asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, the medicine prescribed by Mr. Bian Que has been decocted, and the slave maid heard that my king had come to Wengcheng, so she sent the medicinal soup over and asked my king to drink it as soon as possible, so that he could recover as soon as possible." Ji Dong said breathlessly.
Hearing that the medicine was delivered, Ji Yan's face softened, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay, bring it." β
Ji Dong and a group of others quickly came to Ji Yan's side, and a small chamberlain walked quickly to Ji Dong's side and respectfully picked up a copper box. Ji Dong carefully opened the lid, took out a steaming pottery bowl from it, and said with a smile: "It's still warm." Holding it in both hands and presenting it to the Son of Heaven.
Ji Yan closed his eyes slightly and poured down most of the bowl of medicinal soup in one go, and after drinking it, he frowned and sighed: "Medicine is medicine, no matter what era, it is so bitter." A little waiter hurriedly presented a bowl of water, Ji Yan tasted it, yes, it was honey water, and he drank it all in a big gulp, smash it and think about it: No wonder so many people like power, it's really a good thing!
Wengcheng Shangyan rate and other old ministers who had served the Son of Heaven for several years glanced at each other, all of them were happy, God saw pity, this has always been willful The Son of Heaven is finally no longer willful. You must know that this lord has always regarded drinking medicine as a beheading, beating him to death, and often making the servants helpless, and in the end, the queen has to coax him in every way to reluctantly drink it, how troublesome and troublesome it is. So every time Ji Yan got sick, several old ministers would tremble for fear that he would cry, but now it's okay, don't worry about it anymore.
After drinking the medicine and talking about it, Yan Shu said goodbye to Ji Yan to be busy with his heavy responsibility of collecting grain, this is a baby bump, and there is no room for negligence, Li Gui also said goodbye, and went to be busy with his plan to defend the city, and the matter of the military parade of the Son of Heaven had to be prepared early. Ji Dong and a group of attendants were left on the urn city to accompany Ji Yan.
In the urn city, horse-drawn carts or ox carts loaded with full grain drove in from the two side gates in an endless stream, and after acceptance, they were unloaded to the designated place in turn, and slowly piled up into a small hill. Soon after, Zhou's grain trucks also drove out of the gate one by one, loaded with grain, and then pulled through the gate to the city. Zhou Guo's vehicles were not enough, and the hills became higher and higher, gradually piling up into mountains. Yan Shu saw that the situation was not right, so he made a promise to give three days of full food, and urgently transferred a group of farmers to help carry it, which could balance the entry and exit of grain in the urn city.
Looking at the scene of busy and busy harvesting grain, Ji Yan also smiled, and thanked Yingdang again in his heart: King Qin, King Qin, you enter Luoyang this time, but don't let me down! Since you are powerful, isn't it a matter of course to raise the crown? If you really die, then I will have a lot of time to develop, so you can do nothing, but Ding must be lifted.
After watching it for a while, Ji Yan returned to the palace with a group of guards and attendants. When he walked down the city wall, he found that the carriage of the Son of Heaven was waiting quietly, but the queen's chariot was nowhere to be found.
Seeing the confusion on Ji Yan's face, Ji Dong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The queen has already returned to the palace, and she specially asked the slave maid to bring the king's carriage over." β
Ji Yan thought to himself that Wang Ding must have found out that he had been trained by the old lady, so he hurried back and sent Wang Che out, what a virtuous helper! Squeezing the queen's carriage, the matter is not a big deal, but it can be used to test what kind of consequences the Son of Heaven will have when he passes the courtesy, and it can be regarded as basically achieving the set goal: the consequences are very serious, and the Taishi is very angry. But even if he knew that there would be such consequences, Ji Yan knew that he would still have to destroy the ancestral rituals on a large scale in the future, and he couldn't help but feel quite heavy.
Getting into the king's car and closing his eyes slightly, Ji Yan continued his previous train of thought on the urn city.
With the new death of the king of Qin, the state of Qin will inevitably be in turmoil of the change of royal power, and naturally there will be no time to pay attention to the affairs of other countries, and there will be a long period of subsidence;
Zhao Guoxiong's lord Zhao Wuling's Hufu cavalry shooting was about to be baked, and then it was to capture Zhongshan Kingdom, and then entangled with Lin Hu and Lou for a long time, and the focus was on expanding the ground, which was naturally unintentional;
The national strength of the Yan State has not yet recovered from the Rebellion of the Son, and the country's most powerful monarch, King Yan Zhao, has just ascended the throne and is still in the process of cleaning up the mess, and it is still too early for him to shine, so there is no need to worry;
As for the Wei State, it has long been a flower of the past, and the great achievements brought by Li Wu's reform have long been squandered by the monarchs of the past generations, and the reigning King Wei Xiang is just a mediocre person, if people don't offend him, he has already burned high incense, and he is afraid that he can't think about it;
Not to mention South Korea, which has just been seized by the Qin State and wiped out the generals, so he can only shrink his head and be a turtle.
The only ones to worry about are Chu and Qi, two legitimate and prosperous countries, but they are far away from Luoyang, and there are other countries in between, so it is not so easy to find trouble.
Those who are close to me have no time, and those who have time are far away, it seems that God treats me really well, giving me a precious respite, if I can't take advantage of this time to get the economy and military up, it is really in vain to blind me, a small white-collar worker from two thousand years later who has learned countless business management.
In order to develop the economy and the military, it can be said that it is almost impossible in the current situation of the Zhou State in which the government institutions are bloated, the corpses of officials are vegetarian, and the people are numb and lazy, so it is necessary to carry out reforms, but the changes will inevitably damage the vested interests of a large part of the people, who are often still in high positions of real power, and whose rebound power is not even something that can be resisted by the Son of Heaven, whose foundation is not yet solid. Headache!
"Your Majesty, it's here." Ji Dong's voice came.
A call pulled Ji Yan out of his contemplation, he rubbed his dizzy head, and Tan Sitong's words suddenly appeared in his head: All countries change the law from bloodshed, and today China has not heard of anyone who bleeds due to the change of law.
Tan Sitong's generosity in going to difficulties is admirable, but his words are actually very debatable. China's changes in the law, how many people shed blood. There are those who have successfully changed the law and shed blood, such as the Warring States Shang Dynasty, such as the Western Han Dynasty; There are people who bleed before the law was changed, such as Yang Yan in the Tang Dynasty, such as Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, of course, Wang Anshi's fate was better, but he was demoted.
All in all, in the entire history of China, few law changers have had a good end, whether they have succeeded or not.
So, can I do it? With this question, Ji Yan stepped out of the king's car and walked back to the Son of Heaven's bedroom with heavy steps. He retreated, and lay on the couch tossing and turning, as if his mind was full of thoughts, and seemed to think of nothing, as if he was asleep, and as if he was not asleep.
The situation of the crash in the previous life shook in front of me like a movie, that time, I went in the opposite direction, and finally the car was destroyed and killed, this time, I planned to go in the opposite direction again, what will be the result?
I don't know how long it took, but he was woken up by a commotion outside, so he asked, "What's going on outside?" β
"Enlighten my king, Mr. Bian Que plans to leave Luoyang, and he has come to bid farewell to my king." Ji Dong's voice came, "I don't know if my king will see it?" β
"Bian Que?" Ji Yan came to his senses and immediately turned over and sat up, "Change your clothes, you want to see a guest." β
Ji Yan wore a wide and comfortable Xuanduan, just tied his hair to the top of his head, simply inserted a tortoiseshell hairpin and walked out of the bedroom, and hurried to the front hall.
Bian Que, who was sitting precariously, saw the arrival of the Son of Heaven, and hurriedly got up to salute, Ji Yan said: "Sir, don't be polite, please take a seat." After the two of them sat down, he said: "After drinking Mr.'s medicine, Gu feels that his body has improved greatly, and I am really grateful." β
"It is deeply disturbing to disturb the king's rest." Bian Que arched his hand and said apologetically, "It's just a few decoctions, which can cure the body but not the soul." β
"Spirits?" Ji Yan asked puzzled.
"Yes, yes." Bian Que said: "The king's illness is in the soul and not in the body. The soul was damaged, so he struck the bell and died that day; The soul is replenished, so the body is healthy at this time. β
Ji Yan only felt goosebumps all over his body, and his scalp was numb for a while, could it be that this legendary miracle doctor actually saw that there was a soul in this skin?
