The core topic of the court meeting was determined, and the courtiers in the palace finally changed their previous frowning and thinking looks, and picked up the wat board one after another, making a posture of wanting to come out and worship.

It's just that seeing the posture of the courtiers and officials, Xiao He did not nod his head to acquiesce, but turned to the side slightly, and looked at Liu Ying, who was sitting at the back of the side and looking at everyone in the hall with interest.

"At home?"

Hearing that Xiao He lowered his voice slightly and called himself lightly, Liu Ying's face froze slightly, and then as if he suddenly realized, he picked up the rabbit hair from the low table in front of him.

"Zheng~"

"Country~"

"Canal~"

On the bamboo slip in front of him, he silently wrote the words 'Zheng Guoqu', Liu Ying nodded with satisfaction, put the pen back in place, and then raised his head with a smile.

"Xiao Xiang doesn't have to ask Yu Gu about everything, today's court discussion, everything is as usual."

After saying that, Liu Ying did not forget to bow his hand to everyone in the hall with a warm smile.

Seeing Liu Ying's behavior, the courtiers and officials in the palace finally no longer had any doubts about Liu Ying's self-flaunting of 'just listening', and they all looked sideways at Xiao He, the prime minister on the other side of the imperial stairs, with tentative eyes.

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Xiao He thought about it for a while, and finally returned the salute to Liu Ying with a smile, and then looked at the courtiers and officials in the palace again.

"In this case, the princes will discuss the renovation and protection of Zheng Guoqu."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall nodded with a light smile, looked at each other, and waited for the opportunity to go out and worship.

And from the expressions on the faces of hundreds of officials and courtiers, it can be seen how pleasant the atmosphere of today's court meeting is.

——Today's court meeting can almost be said to be the most relaxed atmosphere since the founding of the Han Dynasty!

In the past, whether it was the Son of Heaven Liu Bang or Prime Minister Xiao He's actions, the court discussion was a groggy and faintly strange atmosphere that made people's hearts palpitate.

Needless to say, Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, whenever the court is discussed, it must be a war, and the courtiers who play the right role are basically the founding heroes!

All the court discussions raised by Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, are not so much court discussions as military discussions.

Not to mention the small fish and shrimp of about a thousand stones, even if it is Jiuqing and two thousand stones who are not the marquis, they can only accompany a smiling face, and the emphasis is on participation.

As for the courtroom cited by Prime Minister Xiao He, although it is slightly better, it is not much better.

- Xiao He, although he treats people and things on weekdays, most of them are gentle and elegant, but once he talks about business, his strength is no less than that of Liu Bang today!

Although most of the topics of the court meeting presided over by Prime Minister Xiao He were internal affairs, it was not so much a discussion and discussion meeting as a work arrangement meeting.

Xiao He sat down on the seat in the middle of the imperial staircase, called out the relevant Jiuqing and Erqianshi one by one, explained the work tasks specifically, and then asked, 'Are there any objections', and the court discussion should be over.

Like today, the court discussion that fully embodies the people's cooking and fully adopts the opinions of hundreds of officials is undoubtedly the first time since the Han Dynasty.

In this regard, although the courtiers and officials were a little surprised, they did not feel uncomfortable, but they poured out an inexplicable good feeling for Liu Ying, the prince of the prison country.

——As an official in the center of the court, don't you want this sense of participation to express your opinions and guide the country?

If you don't even have this kind of opportunity to participate in politics and discuss politics, then even if you are a Jiuqing and eat 2,000 stones, what is the difference between you and the county swordsmen and pen officials?

Thinking like this, the courtiers and officials looked around and exchanged glances with each other, and finally it was a middle-aged man with a cyan ribbon around his waist, and he bowed to the head with a gentle smile on his face.

"Zhonglang General Chenbu, I would like to visit my family and meet Xiao Xiang."

The middle-aged man only said this, which suddenly caused Liu Ying's eyes to widen slightly, and he looked at the middle-aged man in the hall with curiosity.

- Zhonglang will Jibu!

The protagonist of the allusion 'A Promise of a Thousand Golds'!

In her previous life, although Liu Ying had seen Ji Bu from afar a few times, she didn't have much anxiety.

After all, at that time, Liu Ying was just a puppet emperor, and it was really difficult to get too close to the Zhonglang general who held the military power and shouldered the responsibility of the two palaces.

In this life, I was finally able to get a close glimpse of the historical celebrities, Liu Ying was full of interest, and there was a faint encouragement in her eyes when she looked at Ji Bu.

Seeing this, Ji Bu was only happy, but there was still a polite smile on his face, looking at Xiao He who was sitting in the middle of the imperial staircase.

"The prime minister asked the officials and courtiers about the renovation of Zheng Guoqu, but the ministers privately thought that the ministers of the court and the central government Cao, mostly out of recklessness, were good at military and political affairs."

"Even if there are people who know about government affairs, I am afraid they don't know much about hydraulic engineering?"

As he spoke, Ji Bu did not forget to turn around apologetically, and slightly bowed his hand to the hundred officials and courtiers on both sides to show that he had no malicious intent.

After the loyal ministers in the hall nodded with kindness, Ji Bu turned around again and looked at Xiao He who was looking up.

"That being the case, the method of renovating the Zheng Guoqu is probably a suggestion from a skilled water engineer in Shaofu."

"The ministers and other councilors should be the money and food needed for the construction of the canals, the laborers, and the things that care for the people and prevent thieves."

Hearing this, even if he had a good impression of Ji Bu, Xiao He couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Seeing Ji Bu straighten up slightly, he glanced at the people in the hall with a smile on his face, and said in a relaxed tone: "Therefore, I think that the person who is in charge of the ministers Cao is the money, food, and labor for the renovation of Zheng Guoqu, where does it come from." ”

"In the renovation of Zheng Guoqu, what should the public do, I think it will help."

After saying that, Ji Bu bowed to Liu Ying and Xiao He respectively, and returned to his seat with a gentle smile, not forgetting to bow his hand to the courtiers and officials in the palace.

Looking at Ji Bu's posture and recalling the words that came out of Ji Bu's mouth, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile and nodded, and couldn't help but think about it secretly in her heart.

"I thought that Ji Bu, the general of Zhonglang, was just a martial artist with bold manners, but I never thought that he could even have such an opinion on the matter of internal affairs counselor?"

Liu Ying was thinking about it, and saw that Xiao He thought about it for a while, and finally got up and bowed to Liu Ying, and then came to the middle of the imperial stairs, facing the hundred officials and courtiers.

"What Zhonglang said is indeed reasonable."

"Zheng Guoqu's strategy for the protection of the canal is probably the craftsman of the Shaofu waterworker."

"We are the ones who are in charge, it is the things that the subordinates can do, and where should we get the money, food, and labor for the renovation of the Zheng Guoqu."

As he spoke, Xiao He lowered his head and groaned slightly, and when he raised his head, an undoubted strength suddenly burst out from his temperament.

"Your Majesty is the royal commander of the expedition, in order to defeat Chen Xuan, the captain of the eight departments of Chang'an, and only two of those who stay in Chang'an."

"Therefore, the old man's meaning: Before Your Majesty's class, prepare the thieves to send a double servant to prevent the small night from making trouble near Chang'an."

"In addition, Zhonglang will guard the guards of the two palaces of Changle and Weiyang, and he should also double it!"

Hearing Xiao He's words, Ji Bu and an official beside him who also wore a silver seal and a green ribbon (1) on his waist hurriedly got up and bowed to Xiao He.

"Ministers, obey Prime Minister Xiao's order!"

PS: The seal ribbon system is related to the official system of the Qin and Han dynasties, but there is one thing that is easy to confuse: the seal ribbon is not only related to the official rank, but also related to the title.

At present, the most authoritative information that can be found is the record in the "Hanshu Hundred Officials and Ministers"——

Title: The princes and kings of the golden seal red ribbon, the marquis of Che gold seal purple ribbon, the marquis of Guannai silver seal blue ribbon.

Official rank: Prime Minister, Taiwei Hou Bicher, gold seal purple ribbon; more than 2,000 stones, silver seal green ribbon; than more than 600 stones, copper ink (black) ribbon; More than 200 stones, copper seal yellow ribbon.

There is a question that needs to be explained: the prime minister's golden seal and purple ribbon correspond to the marquis of Che, but the prime minister is not the Marquis of Bicher, but the prince and the king.

In modern terms, it is: the prime minister belongs to the cadres of the marquis level, but enjoys the treatment of the princes and kings.

As for the text, most of the Jiuqing have gold seals and purple ribbons, not because Jiuqing should have gold seals and purple ribbons, but because most of the Jiuqing at this point in time are the titles of the Marquis of Che, so they can be sealed with purple ribbons; Yang Chengyan, Shusun Tong and other Jiuqing, who did not have the title of Marquis of Che, are still silver seals and blue ribbons.

In the text, Zhonglang will rank more than 2,000 stones, as a silver seal and green ribbon.

Preparing thieves is a special official position in the Western Han Dynasty, belonging to the internal history, in the early Han Dynasty, the rank was more than 2,000 stones, and the responsibility was to ensure the security of the surrounding areas of Chang'an, that is, 'prepare for thieves'.

However, with the gradual stabilization of the Liu Han regime, the level of law and order in the Guanzhong area gradually returned to normal, and the role of the thief commander gradually declined.
