Chapter 6: Confucianism (2)

Li Wei also thought that this was very good.

"If this is the case, then the matter is settled. After returning to Changjun, I drafted an edict to implement it in various places. ”

Huo Xin said: "Nowadays, the various vassal states have built gardens and raised horses, and the powerful have taken the opportunity to encroach on the people's land, and the people are full of complaints. ”

"Does the Captain know these things?"

Li Wei snorted and didn't speak, just nodded plausibly. In fact, he knew in his heart that since Li Tian was canonized as the queen, there have been many people in the Li family who have been crowned kings and marquises, and these people have their own gardens.

Huo Wudao: "I have heard about this matter since I was the prince. King Liang's garden in Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan is comparable to that of Luyuan. So it was with the princes and kings, and the ministers followed suit. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and the people are the foundation of the state. The whole world has built gardens and forests, how can the people make a living? I thought that except for the deer park, all states and counties should abolish the garden forest and return the land to the people. ”

"Also, I have received a lot of music here, and most of them are said to be transferred to welcome and send off the guards. I thought I could save 10,000 men and fill the army. ”

Hearing this, Li Wei worried: "This saves a lot of costs. It's just that in this way, the minister is worried about the emperor's safety......"

Huo Wu waved his hand and said, "Captain don't worry too much. There are feather guards in Changjun, and there are police guards around me, besides, the safety of the country is in the hearts of the people. When Qing waited for Hou Cao, the princes rebelled, the people's hearts were no longer there, and there were many guards in Changjun, like a lonely boat? ”

Huo Wu looked at Huashuo, who had been silent, and asked, "Huashuo, what do you think?" ”

Hua Shuo hurriedly stood up and said, "The emperor is sage." Since watching the emperor shoot the tiger, the minister's mood has not been calm. An important reason why the people of the Great Hungarian Xiguan have repeatedly violated our realm is that they are herdsmen, and the customs of life have made the people of the Great Hungarian Xiguan immediately kung fu. Therefore, in order to start a war with the Great Hungarian West Pass in the future, the ministers must establish a cavalry that can compete with the Great Hungarian West Pass, and these 10,000 people seem to be used as a demonstration first. ”

"You have a great idea! This matter will be handled by the Tai Lieutenant. ”

Huo Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Why didn't you speak just now?" ”

"The emperor invited a few adults to discuss the matter, and it is a great fortune for the ministers to listen respectfully, where do you dare to be presumptuous?"

After the third watch, in the middle of the moon, Hun Sen's father-in-law came in to remind Huo Wu that it was cold late at night, and several ministers wanted to get up and leave, but Huo Wu was not sleepy.

"Since the founding of our dynasty, we have been in the middle for a long time, and we don't know much about the border countries other than Dawu. I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I want to send an envoy to open up relations with other neighboring countries, so that we can not only declare our great Wu national prestige, exchange trade, but also contact them to deal with the Great Hungarian Xiguan, wouldn't it be mutually beneficial? ”

Huo Xin was already a little tired, but after listening to the emperor's words, he couldn't help but be deeply encouraged, and his tiredness was swept away, and he praised from the bottom of his heart: "The emperor is far-sighted, and the minister is ashamed." This matter will be handed over to the minister, and it will be possible next year at the latest. ”

Li Wei also said on the side: "The minister can select strong men from the army to escort the envoy." ”

Huo Wu, who was excited, did not get tired at all, and his mind suddenly jumped from political affairs to the article, saying that he recently read an article "On National Politics", which was exciting, witty and interesting, but he didn't know which one wrote it.

Asus replied on the side: "Actually, this article has long been recited in Changjun. The minister heard that this Fu was made by Yan Ji of Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan. ”

As soon as Hua Shuo said this, Huo Wu remembered that Sima Tan had told him about this person's talent in Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan that year.

"Why don't I see such a talent?"

Hua Shuo said: "This person is now in Luoyang Prefecture, Xiguan, I heard that there was a romantic affair, if the emperor wants to see him, just announce him to Chang County." ”

Huo Wu said "oh" and said, "Tell me what's going on." ”

After Asus took Liang Wangxue, Yan Ji returned to Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan in discouragement; How did he impress the beautiful woman Ruyun in Luoyang Prefecture with the sound of the piano in a drinking banquet, and how did he encounter the obstruction of Ruyun's father Qian Yin, and finally brought the story of Ruyun's elopement in the quiet night to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu listened to it and muttered: "My fair lady, the gentleman is good. This Yan Ji is a man who dares to act. Hearing Hua Qing say this, I wanted to see him more and more. ”

The more everyone talked, the more excited they became, and gradually they forgot the time, and it was not until Hun Sen's father-in-law reminded him again that several ministers got up and left.

Seeing off the two ministers, Huo Wu said to Hua Shuo beside him: "How about sleeping with me tonight?" ”

Huo Wu finished freshening up under the service of the guards at this moment, and while going to bed, he said jokingly with a young man: "What's wrong with Asus today, you are talking in a hurry." After all these years, what can't you say to me? ”

Hua Shuo said: "The reason why the minister said it at this time is because this matter is about the Queen Mother. ”

"The Queen Mother? What happened to the Queen Mother? Huo Wu had already lay down, and when he heard that it was about the Queen Mother, he sat up again.

"Didn't the emperor hear that you have a royal sister who lives among the people?"

"What? You say my mother has a daughter, and I have a sister? ”

In Huo Wu's memory, his mother Li Tian was not only dignified and beautiful, but also famous for her virtue and wisdom. Now that a country daughter suddenly appeared, doesn't this mean that the mother didn't enter the palace as a daughter back then?

Huo Wu turned from shock to rage, and with a "whoosh" he pulled out the sword from the scabbard hanging at the head of the bed, put it on Asus's neck, and said angrily: "Bold Asus! I'm going to kill you! ”

Hua Shuo looked at the cold and shining sword in Huo Wu's hand, knelt on the ground, pulled the sword spike, held down the hilt of the sword and said: "Weichen deserves death, please let Weichen finish speaking, Weichen is a ghost under His Majesty's sword, and it is not in vain for His Majesty to treat his ministers." ”

"Tell me!" Huo Wu said coldly.

Hua Shuo took a breath, and the words rushed out: "The minister uses his riding and archery skills, and the emperor does not give up, so that he has to have today, although the minister is dead and cannot repay one of them, how dare he make something out of nothing, talk about the big things in the palace?" It was really because the minister learned from the queen mother's personal maid that the queen mother often cried at night because of this. The minister couldn't bear the separation of the queen mother's flesh and blood, so he dared to play the emperor. The minister knows that my dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and I can't bear to see the queen mother wash her face with tears every day. After saying that, Hua Shuo straightened his neck, but the sword in Huo Wu's hand fell to the ground......

"The Queen Mother! It's all children who are not filial! Huo Wu shouted in the direction of Changjun, the long voice echoing in Asus's heart for a long time.

Looking at Huo Wu's back, an imperceptible smile crossed Asus' face. He was proud of the success of another adventure. He believes that with the return of the Queen Mother's daughter who has been exiled among the people, he will not be in a situation for long to falter in his career.

……

In the pre-Cao era, Boluo County was still a small tree with less than a few hundred people on the outskirts of Chang County. Since Emperor Gang's burial here, the population has swelled dramatically. By the time of Emperor Wu, it had now become a large city with a large number of wealthy people, with 10,000 households and nearly a million people. When the imperial lieutenant climbed his sister Li Tian from here to Chang County, and Li Tian's ex-husband Zhang Xiaolong also lived in this small city.

As soon as Zhang Xiaolong thought of his mother-in-law Wang Ying, who was prone to inflammation, he was depressed. Back then, didn't Wang Ying just take a fancy to the sincerity and wealth of the Zhang family, so she married Li Tian to herself? But when she learned that Li Tian had a bright future and was rich and noble, this old woman who should be killed ruined her marriage and forcibly took away her daughter without the slightest hesitation.

Zhang Xiaolong still can't figure out what joint Wang Ying used to send Li Tian into the palace and become a concubine. The reality is that Li Tian not only became a concubine, but also gave birth to three daughters and a son for Huo Gang. Later, she actually ascended to the throne of the queen, and now she has become the queen mother of Dawu, but at the beginning, the eldest daughter Yinlian stayed by Zhang Xiaolong's side.

He and Li Tian, one in the sky, the other on the earth, close to the end of the world, he can only sigh and reminisce about those years that he can't go back.

"That's the most beautiful woman in the world!" Zhang Xiaolong took a sip of wine, his eyes intoxicated and muttered in his heart. He couldn't forget the wedding night, the joy of the flowers and candles in the cave room, and the incense that emanated from the whole body made him ecstatic many times.

"What's wrong with the emperor? The emperor is not the woman I Zhang Xiaolong slept with in his arms, so isn't the crown dyed green? What's so glorious? However, Zhang Xiaolong could only say this in his heart.

"This woman turned out to be the queen mother. She threw her daughter in the countryside, is she worthy of being the queen mother? He could only vent these words in his heart.

When Wang Ying died, Li Tian, who was in the deep palace, knew nothing, and Zhang Xiaolong categorically stopped Yinlian's funeral and filial piety. Soon after, he also passed away full of resentment.

What is rich and expensive? What is the future? Yinlian is now no different from ordinary people, she and her husband work all day long to ensure that a pair of children can live safely in the world.

Late at night, her husband and children were sleeping soundly beside her after a tiring day, but Yinlian was sewing clothes under the lamp, and at this moment, she couldn't help but miss her mother. Mother! Do you remember your daughter? The villagers say that I have a mother who is the queen mother, why did my mother forget all this? Yinlian looked at the moonlight outside the window and burst into tears......

"Daughter......" Li Tian woke up from her dream in a cold sweat. She saw her daughter Yinlian in a dream, why didn't she grow up? It's still like breastfeeding in your arms.

Her shout alarmed the maidservant Snow Eel, who was waiting outside, and she hurriedly came in and lifted the curtain and called, "Queen Mother! Dowager! Do you feel any discomfort? ”

Li Tian shook his head and said sadly: "The mourning family saw the silver lotus in a dream just now. ”

In the "Niangniang Palace" of Changle Palace, only Snow Eel knows the secret of the Queen Mother. She has not seen her relatives in the deep palace all the year round, and she deeply understands a mother's concern for her daughter, and she comforted: "The slave understands the hardships of the queen mother. ”

"If you can't sleep, just talk to the mourners!" Li Tian said.

"Slaves obey!" The snow eel came to the inner room in cloak and asked, "Why didn't the Queen Mother tell the emperor?" ”

The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head: "Why don't you want to say it? It's just that the mourning family is worried that the emperor has a strong temperament and does not recognize his sister, but it is self-defeating. ”

For many years, Li Tian has carried a heavy emotional burden. Although she has a lot of food and clothes every day, she doesn't miss her daughter for a moment. When Emperor Gang was alive, she wanted to talk and endure it several times. Now she couldn't judge whether Huo Wu could accept Yinlian.

Snow Eel tucked the corners of the quilt for the Queen Mother and said: "Although the emperor is young, he has always advocated benevolence and filial piety, how can he not recognize his own sister?" ”

Li Tian thought that the snow eel's words were very reasonable, and asked casually: "How many days has the emperor been gone?" ”

"It's been six days!"

"Oh!" Li Tian decided not to bear the emotional torture anymore, and when Huo Wu came back, she would vomit as fast as possible no matter what—even if he didn't recognize Yinlian's status.

When Li Tian fell asleep again, Changjun was already immersed in the brilliant morning light.
