Chapter 646: Hanging the Emperor's Throne and Waiting for His Brother's Return
readx;
"Fengxiao, what's going on?" Seeing Guo Jia's gloomy face, Liu Zhang's heart couldn't help but fall to the bottom. www.biquge.info If it wasn't a very troublesome thing, Guo Jia would never show a tangled expression!
"The king...", Guo Jia wanted to speak and stopped, he really didn't know what to say, he could only sigh, handed the information to Liu Zhang, and said, "See for yourself!" ”
"What the hell happened to you...", he took the information suspiciously, and before he finished speaking, Liu Zhang was stunned. He looked at the information in his hand, then at Guo Jia, and couldn't help asking, "Feng Xiao, you're joking with Gu, right?" ”
"King, how dare the minister joke about such a thing?" Guo Jia smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't believe what was said in the intelligence, but the Ministry of Intelligence had not given false news, especially this kind of thing that was easy to verify!
"Impossible!" Holding the information in a ball and throwing it to the ground, Liu Zhang laughed and said, "This must be someone joking with Lone." With the wisdom of Shiyuan, the bravery of Yide and Meng Qi, and the wisdom and courage of Wenyuan and Ling Ming, how could they lose their traces when they were chasing the enemy? Did it be too late to contact Youzhou officials to report the matter? Perhaps, Shi Yuan is now reorganizing the army in Jixian County! ”
"Great King, Yuan Zhi is stationed in Jixian County, how can he have such an omission!" Picking up the information, Guo Jia looked at Liu Zhang with a worried face, he was afraid that Liu Zhang would not be able to stand the stimulation.
"No!" The smile on Liu Zhang's face disappeared, and he roared angrily: "Gongjin and Xingba haven't been found yet, and you tell Gu again, Gu's five brothers are gone, do you want to stab Gu in the heart!" ”
"The king..."Looking at Liu Zhang's hideous expression, Guo Jia didn't know what to say, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Don't call me king, if you win the world but lose your brothers, even if you are the emperor, what does it mean? Summoning Youzhou, let Xu Shu scout as much as possible, be sure to find the five Shiyuan! Liu Zhang was furious, and he took his anger out on Guo Jia's body for the first time.
"King, Yuan Zhi has done this a long time ago, and now he has been looking for more than a month, and there is really no news, so he reported it!" Guo Jia lowered his head, he really didn't want to tell Liu Zhang this bad news.
"It's been a month?!" Hearing the bad news, Liu Zhang was stunned. Although he knew that death was inevitable in war, the disappearance of Zhou Yu, Pang Tong and others was really embarrassing!
"Yes!" Guo Jia nodded with great difficulty, he knew that the reality was very cruel, but he couldn't deceive Liu Zhang!
"Poof..."I really couldn't stand such a blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Liu Zhang's mouth!
"King!" Seeing Liu Zhang's mouth spurting blood and falling backwards, Guo Jia and Dian Wei hurriedly supported him!
"It's okay to be alone!" Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, pushing Guo Jia and Dian Wei away, Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Find, no matter what, you must find them back!" ”
"No!" Guo Jia clenched his fists and left, leaving Liu Zhang looking at the mighty river, secretly distracted.
The days flew by, and another year passed. Liu Zhang vigorously expanded the navy in the south, and built more than a dozen large ships of more than 40 zhang, and a fleet has been formed. Each voyage can carry more than 100,000 people. As long as you don't encounter typhoons, you will be as stable as Mount Tai.
In order to make the navy sail better, Liu Zhang ordered the Ministry of Engineering to manufacture telescopes, compasses and other navigation supplies. Although Liu Zhang understands the principle of these things, it is still quite troublesome to manufacture. If it weren't for Ma Jun, a manufacturer, it would be really difficult to make these things.
Since the Ministry of Industry has long adopted standardized assembly line operations according to Liu Zhang's opinions, Ma Jun has just researched the real thing, and it can be put into large-scale manufacturing, but the lenses of telescopes are more troublesome. There was no glass in the Han Dynasty, and it could only be polished with crystal pieces, and the effect was not very good!
Of course, Liu Zhang did not think of a way, he once wanted to use the method of firing glass to make glass, but he did not succeed. However, with this idea, the Ministry of Industry has gathered a lot of skilled craftsmen to develop it, and I believe that glass will be made in the near future!
With Liu Zhang's hard work, the Han Kingdom is thriving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the call for Liu Zhang to be the emperor is getting higher and higher, but Liu Zhang has always refused to be the emperor, even if all the courtiers jointly kneel and ask, he was rejected.
There was only no one who persuaded Liu Zhang to be the emperor, only Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other people who knew Liu Zhang's surname. They knew that Liu Zhang was waiting for the return of Pang Tong, Zhang Fei and others. It's a pity that year after year, Pang Tong and others have never heard from them, and the throne of the Han Dynasty has always been empty.
The throne is vacant, and this is ten years, and when Liu Zhang unified the world, he was not confused. Ten years later, his temples are gray. Liu Zhang, who didn't like government affairs, handed over the power to Liu Tuo, and only when there was a major military and political matter, he stepped forward to solve it. Liu Tuo, who was in his early thirties, took Jiang Wei, Sun Deng, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and other young generals to handle important military and political affairs in an orderly manner, and the veterans in the court also slowly faded out of the court under Liu Zhang's instructions.
mentioned a group of small characters led by Liu Tuo, Liu Zhang felt very pleased. Although the government is still under the general control of Zhuge Liang, the junior characters have also shown boundless talent. Not to mention Liu Zhang's righteous son Jiang Wei, let's talk about Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Jin's sons Zhuge Qiao and Zhuge Ke, they are very experienced in dealing with important military and political affairs, and they have shared a lot of responsibilities for Zhuge Liang, making it easier for Zhuge Liang to deal with government affairs.
Of course, in addition to these meritorious sons, Liu Tuo also found a lot of talents in the imperial examination and the army. Fei Yi, Huo Jun, Hao Zhao, Guo Huai, Wen Qin, hearing the names of these people, even Liu Zhang felt heartbroken, he knew that he didn't have to worry about his children and grandchildren anymore!
What made Liu Zhang feel even more fortunate was that Deng Zhi returned to his hometown to visit relatives and met a small official who was sympathetic to the people's feelings in his hometown. As Liu Zhang's subordinate, seeing that the little official loved the people, Deng Zhi talked to him. After talking, Deng Zhi was pleasantly surprised to find that the little official was not only his clansman, but also his talent was above him!
Deng Zhi was not a jealous person, so he immediately recommended the little official to Liu Tuo. The stammering little official talked eloquently in front of Liu Tuo, and conquered everyone present with his talent. However, if a small official suddenly rises to a high position, he will definitely make others dissatisfied. Just when Liu Tuo didn't know how to appoint the little official, Liu Zhang heard about the little official, and even knew the name of the little official - Deng Ai Zishizai!
With such a great talent, how could Liu Zhang let it go, he secretly ordered Liu Tuo to befriend Deng Ai with kindness. Seeing that his father valued the little officials so much, Liu Tuo also showed the atmosphere of a generation of heroes. He tried his best to disagree with the public, so that Deng Ai jumped ten levels in a row, and became a member of the court from a small official.
Seeing that Liu Tuo valued himself so much, the young Deng Ai was grateful and swore allegiance on the spot. Liu Tuo did not think so, there were too many talents who were willing to be loyal to him. It wasn't until twenty years later, when Zhong Hui rebelled, and Deng Ai and Jiang Wei led the army to crusade against the rebels, that Liu Tuo understood Liu Zhang's thoughts and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Ten years can change a lot of things, under the wise leadership of Liu Zhang, Dahan has not only made great progress in talents, but also made great progress in science and technology. Under Liu Zhang's deliberateness, Shinong industry and commerce are no longer divided into three, six, nine and so on, and other fields are no longer discriminated against by scholars. Many children of poor families are no longer limited to being officials in the imperial examination, and have begun to develop in the fields of medicine and science and technology.
Whether it is science and technology, or medicine, only when someone studies can we make progress. Medical schools, weapons research institutes, and other scientific research sites have been joined by fresh blood, and the research topics have become more in-depth and detailed. Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, who are over seventy years old, no longer do research, and they write medical books with their lifelong experience of practicing medicine to teach the profession.
As for Zuo Ci of the Martial Arts Academy, after the unification of the world, he gathered all the former brothers and sisters. Yu Ji, Nanhua, and Ge Xuan brought apprentices again, and turned Heming Mountain in Hanzhong into a Taoist holy land, and even Zhengyi of Longhu Mountain sent people to participate in the study to show their support for Liu Zhang. Of course, these Taoist priests knew Liu Zhang's surname very well, and they did not dare to confuse the public, and Liu Zhang did not take special care of them, and even restricted them a lot.
In later generations, he heard that too many temples and Taoist temples hid filth and dirt, and sheltered rebellions, so in order to prevent Taoist temples and temples from infringing on the interests of the people, Liu Zhang established a religious association, and the administrators of the association would become officials of the imperial court. Only after the assessment of the imperial court can they join the association, and the imperial court will issue a salary. Otherwise, even if you become a monk or a Taoist priest, you don't want to get a piece of rice for nothing! Like the later generations who relied on becoming a monk or Taoist priest to avoid legal sanctions, or the situation of fish and meat adjacent to each other and occupying land, there is no possibility of doing it!
In order to put an end to religious violations, the imperial court will also audit various Taoist temples and temples every year, and no religion can encroach on people's land in any form. If it is found that there is too much farmland, population, or illegal things under the name, the crime will be severely punished according to the law! Those who build temples and Taoist temples privately will have all their property confiscated and the temples and Taoist temples they build will be bulldozed!
Of course, Liu Zhang's restrictions on Buddhism are not only in temples and shaving, he also restricts Buddhist teachings, especially the idea of going against the grain, which Liu Zhang directly lists as heresy. Although the ideas of Buddhism were more conducive to rule, Liu Zhang did not want the blood surnames of the Han people to be castrated.
Suppressed and suppressed, under Liu Zhang's control, Buddhism could not gain a foothold, and Taoism became a scientific research institution and a loose non-governmental organization. In addition, there are hundreds of schools of thought in the Han academic circles, various theories are complex and complex, and there is also the atheism vigorously promoted by Liu Zhang, as well as the development of science. Although superstition cannot be eradicated, with the support of science, there will be fewer and fewer superstitious people.
Within ten years, Dahan was on the right track, and all aspects were developing in a healthy and favorable direction. Liu Zhang gradually handed over his power to the next generation, hoping to fade out of the court, but failed to do so. The world's call for him to be emperor is intensifying, but he is still hesitating...
