All the thoughts flashed in his heart like lightning, Liu Cun stopped, looked at the half-built sacrificial platform in the southern suburbs, pondered for a long time before slowly turning around, and said very calmly:

"The question raised by Brother Meng De is actually a question that I have been thinking about hard, not only I, Liu Cun, think day and night, but all the great Confucians of Langya Academy and Jinan University, as well as Gongsun Pei, Zhao Rong, Guan Ning, Guoyuan, Wang Lie, Cangci, Xu Ci, Xu Yi and other great sages of the world, are also thinking hard and looking for a development path that can allow my Han Dynasty to inherit for thousands of generations."

"However, to this day, I still don't understand why every dynasty goes through the ups and downs, and how to avoid the devastation caused by the change of dynasties again and again?"

Cao Cao nodded with deep feeling: "Yes!" It's a tricky question, but ...... Who can stop the sunrise and sunset from reincarnation? ”

Liu Cun asked solemnly: "Brother Meng De, how do you know if I don't try?" Since the road of thousands of years ago has not been able to go through, why can't we find another way and break a good road? ”

"What?"

Cao Cao was shocked and stared at Liu Cun's eyes tightly: "Could it be that Zijian is really able to spy on the way of heaven as the folk rumors say?" ”

Liu Cun shook his head again and again: "Liu Cun is a common man, where does he have the ability to spy on the way of heaven?" It's just that I've been thinking about it day and night for years......"

"Brother Meng De must also know that Zheng Xuan, Bing Yuan and other great Confucians have tried to start by changing the system and changing the law, trying to find a development path that has never been seen before, but it is a pity that they have still not been able to jump out of the prison of the supreme imperial power and Confucian culture for thousands of years."

"So. I've been thinking. If the shackles of the supremacy of imperial power are broken. Will we be able to break the shackles of Confucianism, completely abandon the outdated and corrupt form of government, re-establish a set of government that can benefit the vast majority of the people in the world, and establish a fair and just legal system and a system for the selection of imperial examinations? ”

Cao Cao was taken aback: "Could it be that Zijian wants to overthrow the imperial power?" ”

"Nope! It should be said that it is a restriction of imperial power! ”

Liu Cun, who had already weighed it countless times in his heart, said categorically: "This world should not be a world of one family and one surname, but a world of all people!" Instead of pinning their hopes on the so-called Son of Heaven, who will not emerge in a century, everyone should establish a new form of government. Ruling the world through all levels of government that enjoys the support of the majority of the people in the world. ”

"A thousand words in one sentence: the emperor is only a symbol of a country and a nation, the central court supported by the majority of the people is the highest management body of the country, the imperial power must be limited, the political power and the military power and the legislative and judicial power must be separated, complement each other, and supervise each other!"

"Of course, it's not easy to do such an unprecedented thing, but if I don't do it, I'm afraid my Han will never have a chance to continue."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Cun in shock, Liu Cun at this moment made him feel so strange. So strong and tall.

At night, the camp of the garrison in the east city of Luoyang was lit with bright lights.

The chief generals and deputy generals of various ministries under the command of Liu Cun. They rode their horses into the camp, and more than ten civil and military officers such as Gongsun Fang, Man Chong, and Cui Yan, the actual controllers of Luoyang, also rode in carriages and gathered in the camp general's mansion. Liu Cun's confidant Zhao Rong, leading generals Tai Shici and Guan Hai stood outside the gate of the general's mansion to greet them warmly.

In the spacious and simple inner hall of the general's mansion, Liu Cun, who had just returned, swallowed the last bite of pasta, motioned to Huo Jian, the master craftsman sitting on the side, to continue to report, and took the hot tea and tasted it slowly.

"I guess everyone has arrived, why don't you wait until the meeting is over?" Huo Jianle, who is famous for presiding over the construction of Jinan New City and Luoyang City, asked happily.

Liu Cun waved his hand: "There is still time, let's continue, and then let's go to the front hall together." ”

Huo Jian returned to the topic again: "The construction of Luoyang City is basically completed, as long as the altar and Ming Hall outside the south gate are built, there will be no major projects that need to be started...... The two new cities on the east and west sides of the twenty miles from Luoyang have been surveyed and prepared, and the construction can start in the spring, and it will be completed in only about eight months, and it can fully achieve the goal of accommodating 120,000 soldiers and civilians stationed. ”

"It's good for me to live here, it's safe and convenient, in the future, this place will be the headquarters of the army guarding Luoyang, and it will also be the command center of our army's departments stationed around Luoyang and even in the Central Plains, which is far more convenient than mixing with the various government offices in the south of the central square."

Seeing that Huo Jian still looked unwilling, Liu put down the teacup and comforted him in a harmonious voice: "We don't need to mix with those civil servants, and there is no need to spend money to build a large-scale general's mansion." As for my own residence, I would like to be able to live with my husband and other brothers, and if I can, I can simply build a residential area in the ruins of the White Horse Temple outside the West Gate, and I can build it according to the residential area of the Jiangxiao in Jinan City. ”

"Huh!?"

Huo Jian was stunned: "That's a holy place for Buddhism!" Although it has been burned, once the young emperor is welcomed back to reorganize the imperial court, those monks will definitely come back, or let's change places? ”

"What could be better than that?" Liu Cun asked with a smile.

Huo Jian thought for a long time, and finally could only shake his head: "Except for the Jianxi farther west to the west or the Longmen area more than ten miles away to the south, there is indeed no large area of land for building a large residential area, and those places under the mountain are very good, the mountains are beautiful, the streams are clear, and there are more than 100 well-preserved towering ancient trees and the mausoleums of several generations of emperors in this dynasty, but the subordinates have already enclosed the mountains and rivers within a radius of more than 30 miles into a royal garden according to the will of the lord, and they have been criticized by Zhao Rong for this. If it weren't for the strong support of Lord Yang Biao and several special envoys sent by the DPRK and China, his subordinates would not have dared to start work. ”

Liu Cun told Huo Jian about his decision that he had never revealed to his subordinates: "It's worth it, although there are few people in the royal family now, but after all, it is still the respect of a country, and I have to preserve some royal dignity, so I decided to take out an extra amount of money to build a royal garden, just restore the Shanglin Garden, which has long disappeared." ”

"In addition, all the estates, forests, mines, etc. owned by the royal family will be returned to the state and county governments for use as the common property of the local government, and we don't need to worry about how the states and counties will deal with the properties that originally belonged to the royal family in the future."

Huo Jian was taken aback, and Zhao Rong, who had just entered the inner hall to inform Liu Cun to go to preside over the meeting, was also frightened. (To be continued......)
