Wei Qing submitted the letter of the master father Yan to Liu Che, Liu Che saw the letter of the master father Yan, and was immediately attracted by the master father Yan's literary brilliance, so he said happily: "How can such a learned person who has mastered "Zhou Yi" and "Spring and Autumn" go to the people, quickly send someone to invite him to come, I want to talk to him in detail." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No. ”

Wei Qing led a few entourages to Chang'an Avenue to look for the place where he met the master's father, and found that there was no trace of the master's father, so Wei Qing asked the small merchant and vendor next to Chang'an Street: "You can see where the ragged man has gone?"

A hawker pointed in the direction of the east gate and said, "This man stayed here for three days, and then went east with a sigh." ”

"Thank you, thank you. So Wei Qing led people to the east, inquired all the way, and walked all the way, and actually walked out of the east gate of Chang'an.

Wei Qing led the men and horses out of the city gate directly, and the entourage asked: "Master Hou, I'm afraid that this master has already left Chang'an, otherwise let's go back and report to the emperor like this." ”

"What are you kidding, the things ordered by the emperor must be done with our best efforts, not to mention such a small matter of finding people, otherwise what use do we want, we don't want our heads. ”

The attendant stuck out his tongue and said, "Master Hou is right, let's go ahead and look for it." ”

When they asked a woodcutter, he replied, "You are looking for a short, ordinary-looking man in ragged clothes." ”

"Exactly, exactly. ”

"Oh, I was hungry and faint when I walked here yesterday, it was I who took out the dry food for him to eat, I asked him where he was going, why he went alone, but he cried and said that he was full of money and useless, this thing God is destroying himself, hey, I thought he was crazy, I saw that he left without a big deal, and I didn't see it again today. ”

"Thank you, little brother," Wei Qing turned to his entourage and said, "Let's continue to chase, he has no food, and he shouldn't be able to go far in a day." ”

"No. ”

Wei Qing led the men and horses to continue to chase forward, about ten miles away, to the majestic and magnificent Baqiao, only to see a familiar figure appear at the stone railing of the Baqiao, Wei Qing's hanging heart finally fell, and shouted happily: "Master Father, the emperor summons, the emperor wants to summon you." ”

The man on the bridge looked back, saw that it was Wei Qing, and said as if he had heard it wrong: "Master Hou, what did you say?"

"Today, the emperor asked me to announce your entry into the palace, and the emperor wants to summon you. ”

"Ah, really, the sky has finally opened its eyes, thank you. The master fell to his knees on the bridge with a thud, knocking his head several times.

After kowtowing, the master father got up and got down the bridge and ran to Wei Qing and said: "If it weren't for the Hou Ye coming in time, I'm afraid my master father Yan would have jumped into this water, thank you Hou Ye for your support, and the little one will go with the Hou Ye to meet the emperor." ”

"Hahaha, the emperor who is enlightened and wise today will not bury any talented person, so please come with me. ”

When the group walked to Weiyang Palace, the master father Yan was about to rush in, Wei Qing hurriedly grabbed the master father Yan and looked at the whole body of the master father Yan with unnatural eyes, and the master father Yan immediately realized his own rags, and then the two laughed at the same time, Wei Qing said: "I will accompany you to the river to wash and then go to the clothes shop to change into a set of clothes that fit and then go to the emperor to see the emperor." ”

"Listen to you. The Lord Father replied but did not take a step.

"What's wrong?" Wei Qing wondered, and then saw the very shy expression of the master father and immediately realized it, so he continued, "Please rest assured, brother, there is a clothing shop over there, I am an old customer, and it is all on my account." ”

"Thank you Lord Hou for your great kindness, the small one will be rewarded in the future. The master father arched his hand excitedly.

"Oh, it's important to see the emperor, let's go and prepare. Wei Qing pulled his master father and hurried away.

In the Xuanming Hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Che sat on his knees in the middle of the hall, and the master father sat on the side, familiar with the master father Yan after the change of clothes, although he did not have a delicate appearance, but he also had the stability and maturity of a middle-aged man, Liu Che said: "After reading your book, "I Ching" and "Spring and Autumn" were explained by you into three points, this is the reason why I want to meet, but to apply knowledge to solve practical things, it still depends on people's understanding, I don't know what you have in the way of governing the country. ”

"Your Majesty, I can't talk about it, but I can give your Majesty ideas to solve some practical problems, please ask Your Majesty to solve the problem. ”

"Okay, the current Han Dynasty, prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, my first task is to stabilize the frontier, stabilize the four provinces, and let the eight directions come to the court, but unfortunately, the most headache for me is the rear, I don't know how to govern the rear so that the front is fighting hard, but the rear is on fire. ”

"Your Majesty, the little one knows what His Majesty is worried about, the current national strength has created the strength of the princes, some of the princes have countless cities, control a range of thousands of miles, have sufficient wealth and do not obey the central government, the strength of the generation is getting stronger and stronger, to solve this problem, you need to implement a way, all the princes and kings have children, some of them have a lot of heirs, Your Majesty can issue an edict, after the death of the princes and kings, the throne can not only be passed to the eldest son, but to all the children, all the children are named marquis, and then divide the apprentices under the first king, so that the big princes will become small princes, and in the long run, the strength of the princes will naturally disappear, and Your Majesty can remove this hidden danger。 ”

Liu Che pondered for a moment and nodded with satisfaction: "The idea is good, but will this eldest son agree?"

"Your Majesty, the eldest son is resistant, but more princes will be princes and kings, and they will fully support it, and most of the supported policies will definitely be implemented without hindrance, this is the policy of the last "Tui En Order" in my letter to Your Majesty. ”

"Okay, okay, just use this "Tui En Order" to let the princes know where the central government is. ”

Next, the conversation between the master father Yan and Liu Che became more and more in-depth, and there were countless large and small affairs that solved Liu Che's current doubts, Liu Che sighed: "Why didn't I meet such a great sage earlier, I ordered the master father to be Langzhong." ”

Well, the master father came to run in time, took office, completely broke away from the turbulent life, and since then embarked on the end of prosperity and life.

The gradual establishment of the official position of the Inner Dynasty, Liu Che is thinking about the officials of the Outer Dynasty, and now Zhang Ou has succeeded Han Anguo as the imperial historian, there is no achievement, and now he is sick all the year round, after all, the years are not forgiving, thinking of this reminds him of the virtuous countermeasures a few years ago, Liu Che was reading the countermeasures that were often presented over and over again, and suddenly saw an inferior countermeasure written to the point, which was very popular with Liu Che, Liu Che said to himself: "Too often almost bury talents." After speaking, with a stroke of the pen, he became the first place in the first class, and then saw that the name was Gongsun Hong, Liu Che couldn't help but say: "What a familiar name." ”

Han Yan on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, this person was classified as the first by His Majesty ten years ago, but then he retired to his hometown without making great achievements. ”

"Oh, that's it, I really see the countermeasures this time is also very in line with the current situation, I want to summon it again, I can't bury any talents, I have a little impression of your reminder, it seems that this person is an old man, ten years ago, I don't know what it looks like now, I'm very curious, let's take a look." ”

"No, if Your Majesty insists on seeing it, the minister will summon it. ”

"Let's go. ”

In fact, these candidates for Liu Che to see the countermeasures are all on standby by by the Taichang official, the emperor has the intention of summoning to enter the palace immediately, Gongsun Hong is no exception, not long after, Gongsun Hong came to the Xuanming Hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Che opened his eyes wide and saw the old man standing in front of him, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Gongsun Hong, I can't imagine that I haven't seen him for ten years and still be so tough and handsome, may I ask about his advanced age?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is already in his prime. ”

"Oh, what a genius," Liu Che said to Han Yan, "See, he is still tall and handsome in his old age, his eyes are bright and his ears are smooth, and God helps the man." ”

"It's all thanks to Your Majesty. ”

"Okay, the countermeasures you mentioned in the countermeasures to appoint officials based on merit, do not listen to useless opinions, do not manufacture useless utensils, do not hinder the people's power when they take away the people, those who are virtuous advance and those who are not virtuous retreat, those who have merit go up and those who have no merit go down, those who commit crimes are punished accordingly, and those who are virtuous are rewarded accordingly, I feel the same way, I don't know what Qing has planned. ”

"When recommending virtuous literature in Zichuan State, the minister said to the people that I once went west to Hanguguan to meet the orders of the Son of Heaven, and was dismissed and returned home because of my lack of talent. I hope that everyone will elect others, but who knows that they say that they are humble and prudent and filial to their stepmother, and they are even more filial piety for three years after the death of their stepmother. These are all small things that should be done as a filial son, who knew that the people of Sugawa insisted on recommending me, so I had to come again to delay Your Majesty's time. ”

"Hahaha, it's fun, it's fun," Liu Che laughed, and then said seriously, "I worship Qing as a doctor, and I want to reuse it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "Gongsun Hong retreated from the palace after worshipping.

During the edict of the Golden Horse Gate, Gongsun Hong wrote several times to the point of the times, and the countermeasures were flowing, Liu Che secretly observed Gongsun Hong, and found that his conduct was generous, good at talking, familiar with clerical affairs, and could decorate grammar with Confucianism, Emperor Wu was very happy, and immediately appointed Gongsun Hong as the history of Zuo Nei to govern Gyeonggi affairs, and now many years have passed, Gyeonggi affairs are well organized, and have played an exemplary role in consolidating the capital.

Liu Che thought of this and said, "I have an idea." "An edict was issued to dismiss Zhang Ou's imperial historian and let him return to his hometown to recuperate, appointing Gongsun Hong as the imperial historian and entering the central institution of foreign court officials.

After all these arrangements were made, he suddenly reported quickly: "Your Majesty, the Huns have attacked the border passes, and Yuyang has suffered the heaviest losses. ”

"Ah, how can this be reasonable, the Hun robbers really have to be eliminated, and immediately convene the ministers to discuss the matter. ”

"No. ”

When the ministers heard about the invasion of the Xiongnu, they immediately realized that Liu Che would definitely send troops to attack the Xiongnu again, and Ji Di said: "Your Majesty, these are the consequences of the last expedition against the Xiongnu. ”

Liu Che looked disdainful when he heard Ji Di's words, thinking that if it weren't for the old ministers of several dynasties, he would not have been able to let you stay here for a long time, and now he is still here to stop me from sending troops, and the demons in your heart that were frightened by the Huns have not been eliminated.

Prime Minister Xue Ze saw that the situation was not good, so he continued: "Your Majesty, the money and grain that Ji Di said are indeed a little nervous, and you can take a break to deal with the Huns, so that the people can get a respite, and the warehouse has some grain." ”

At this time, Liu Che's expressions softened a lot when he saw the two people saying this: "Ji Aiqing said that it was because of provoking the Huns that he would be harassed by this, I don't think so, since we want to alleviate the shortage of money and food, then send someone to Yuyang to guard it, who can take on this role?"

His Royal Highness was silent, and Liu Che then asked, "How is Han Anguo's leg injury?"

Xue Ze said: "During the recent visit, Han Anguo's leg injury has basically healed. ”

"Okay, I decreed that Han Anguo would be appointed as the general of the material officer to garrison Yuyang and alleviate the border crisis. ”

"No, Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming. With bursts of shouts, Liu Che retreated.
