Chapter 0274: Cao Shen? Old acquaintance~

"Imperial Doctor Pingyang Marquis Ginseng, I would like to pay homage to my family."

A few days later, Weiyang Palace, Phoenix Palace.

Seeing Cao Shen walking into the hall alone, and saluting himself in a proper manner, Liu Ying spent a lot of strength before he could barely resist the urge to step forward to help.

"Pingyang Hou, please get up, hurry up, please get up······"

Got up from his seat, gave Cao Shen a little help to Cao Shen a few steps away, and bowed to Cao Shen without being humble or arrogant, Liu Yingcai returned to the sitting position with a slightly stiff smile.

It stands to reason that Liu Ying, as the crown prince, is now more responsible for supervising the country, even if Cao Shen is a father who eats thousands of households and ranks among the three dukes, he can completely serve the shelf of 'Jun'.

No matter how bad it is, it means respecting the other party's age and high political status, and treating it with a peaceful mind.

But even though she knew about it, when she saw Cao Shen's face that was obviously not deliberately stretched, but it made people feel oppressed all the time, Liu Ying couldn't help but tremble a little······

——In the previous life, if you want to say who Liu Ying is most afraid of, in addition to the old lady Lu Pheasant, the first to count this Pingyang Marquis who has 10,630 households and ranks second in the founding of the Han Dynasty!

Except for Cao Shen, not to mention his uncle Sun Tong and Xiao He, the first Han minister of the Han family, even his father Liu Bang has never let Liu Ying have such a degree of fear!

Especially in the previous life, after the death of Liu Bang, the son of heaven, and Liu Ying was able to inherit the throne, Cao Shen, who was the head of the Han Dynasty, taught Liu Ying to be a man several times, and showed no mercy!

What accuses Liu Ying of not studying hard and indulging in wine and pleasure all day long, this is still secondary; In front of the Manchu Dynasty's ministers, he scolded Taifu Uncle Sun Tong for 'not educating Liu Ying well, it is really a negative grace', which is not worth mentioning at all.

The most unforgettable thing for Liu Ying, and even what is still fresh in his memory, was the incident that completely destroyed Liu Ying's confidence in his previous life.

At that time, Liu Bang, the son of heaven, had died for two years, and Liu Ying had also reached the age of seventeen.

is getting older and getting closer and closer to being crowned, and her mother Lu Pheasant was stabilized by Queen Zhang Yan, which made Liu Ying at that time gradually have some intentions to meddle in the government and begin to gradually control the power of the court.

Coincidentally, at that time, Prime Minister Xiao He died, and according to the arrangement before the death of Liu Bang, the Marquis of Pingyang, Cao Shen, was able to succeed to the post of Han Minister.

So, Liu Ying naively thought that 'the time had come', so he summoned Cao Shen into the palace.

When she saw Cao Shen, Liu Ying asked bluntly: It has been more than three months since Pingyang Hou became the prime minister, but I heard that Pingyang Hou has nothing to do all day, and even drinks and sleeps all day long?

Regarding Liu Ying's question, Cao Shen only nodded as usual at that time, which made Liu Ying overjoyed.

After thinking that he had 'grasped Cao Shen's handle', Liu Ying made a vague accusation to Cao Shen: Pingyang Hou should be more serious, at least he must do his job well; otherwise, Pingyang Hou, the Han minister, wouldn't he eat the ten thousand stones of the imperial court in vain?

In Liu Ying's opinion at that time, Cao Shen was a courtier, and he had been the minister of Qi for so many years, far away from the center for many years, and he had just taken office for a long time, and he had little power in the court;

Being threatened by himself, Cao Shen will inevitably look at himself from now on, and even help him control the court.

But what Liu Ying never expected was that it was the naïve thoughts that appeared in her mind at that moment that completely buried all her future.

——Faced with Liu Ying's question, Cao Shen did not give an answer, but asked Liu Ying two questions.

Compared with Your Majesty and Emperor Taizu Gao, who is the better emperor?

Compared with the late Marquis of Yuwen, who is the better prime minister?

The answers to these two questions are self-evident.

As the saying goes: the emperor's merit is high, and it is better to open a national temple, which is the beginning of a dynasty;

Not to mention Liu Ying in the previous life, all the sons of heaven in the Han family, including the historical Han language, Han Wu, and Han Xuan, cannot be more 'excellent' than Liu Bang.

In other words, even if there is really anyone who is more 'excellent' than Liu Bang, it is impossible to admit it personally: I am more 'excellent' than Emperor Taizu Gao.

As for Xiao He, there is no doubt about it.

——In history, Xiao He, the Marquis of Yuwen, is the only courtier who has won the honor of 'three-piece set of powerful ministers' in Liu Han's more than 200 years!

——Praise is not named, enter the court is not trending, sword shoes and temple!

In front of such a person who has left a name in history, and is even very likely to be the 'first minister in history', no one dares to say that he is better.

And after Liu Ying gave the answer of 'I am not as good as Emperor Gao, and Qing is not as good as the Marquis of Yuwen', Cao Shen's words completely shattered all the hopes of Liu Yingjun in the world.

Cao Shen said: Since His Majesty is not as good as Emperor Gao, and the minister is not as good as the Marquis of Yuwen, why make changes?

The minister knew that he was not as good as the Marquis of Yuwen, so he kept all the rules and regulations set by the Marquis of Yuwen without making the slightest change; Doesn't Your Majesty know that he is inferior to Emperor Taizu Gao?

Since His Majesty is not as good as Emperor Taizu Gao, why do you still bother with the affairs of the court?

After the minister became the prime minister, although he drank and slept all day long, this was just because the rules and regulations of the final marquis of Yuwen were too perfect, and there was no need for the minister to add to it; Why did Your Majesty reproach the ministers for not fulfilling their duties without knowing the truth?

In just a few words, Ben still looked at Liu Ying, who had subdued Cao Shen and even ruled the world one day, but since then he has been in a state of collapse and depression.

- Because after this incident, there were two things that were known to the whole world at the same time.

The first is that Cao Shen is famous all over the world because of the reputation of 'Xiao Gui Cao Sui', and is recognized by the whole world as 'another virtuous minister of the Han family';

The second is that Liu Ying was scolded back by Cao Shen with the negative image of 'whimsical when he was dissatisfied with his teeth, and wanted to make the newly pacified world chaotic again'······

After that, Cao Shen's already high political prestige advanced by leaps and bounds in the direction of Xiao He; And Liu Ying's majesty, which is almost nothing, has been completely fixed at the '0' point since then.

What made Liu Ying feel most desperate was that after this, her mother Lu Pheasant personally pulled Cao Shen and apologized in front of her.

Liu Yingshang still clearly remembers that after Cao Shen said coldly, 'The minister said a little too much', his mother Lu Pheasant said to herself: Okay, don't keep your face stiff, it's all your own people······

"Own ······"

"Hey ······"

"Pingyang Hou Cao Shen, the second Marquis of the Han Dynasty, 10,630 households, who would have thought that it was also the 'old department of Zhou Lu' and the minions of the Lu family······

In her heart, Liu Ying looked at Cao Shen's gaze, but it became softer and more approachable.

It is true that in the depths of Liu Ying's soul, there is still a handful of instinctive fear of Cao Shen.

But with the 'lessons' of her previous life, Liu Ying, who had started all over again, had no reason to fall twice in the same place······

Thinking of this, Liu Ying raised her head gently and looked at Cao Shen's face at that moment, revealing a serious face.

"In the first half of the year, the court's meritorious marquis and hundreds of officials went to the palace to see them, and Lone had clearly told the princes: But his father has not recovered from his illness, and all the courtiers and officials, the princes and the meritorious marquis, Lone, are not alone······"

"I just don't know, ······ Pingyang Hou is here?"

Hearing the deep meaning of Liu Ying's words, Cao Shen nodded his head indispensably, and said with a pale face as usual: "The meaning of the family is known to the minister." ”

"Ranchen entered the palace today, at the behest of His Majesty, and in the past ten months, the court and the central government urgently need to make a decision, and they will discuss with each other at home."

"And although Your Majesty is still lying on the couch, he is almost cured of his illness; It's just that Your Majesty is very old, and it's winter, so Your Majesty didn't come to Changxin in person to preside over the political affairs of the court. ”

"There's no need to worry about the family."

Hearing Cao Shen's words, Liu Ying only raised her head as if she had suddenly realized, then sat up straight with a smile, and made a 'please' gesture to Cao Shen.

Seeing this, Cao Shen didn't make any more detours, and straightforwardly explained his intention.

"One of them: now in the DPRK, there are six vacancies in Jiuqing, and there are many redundant government affairs in the court, and there is a lack of communication between the upper and lower levels."

"Your Majesty's will, the ministers and the marquis will discuss with the same family, and plan to get the choice of these six shortcomings, and then submit it to Your Majesty for a holy ruling."

"A few days ago, the marquis was also ill, so I am afraid that this matter should be discussed by the family and the ministers in order to prepare the primary ······election."

Hearing this, Rao had expected this matter for a long time, and Liu Ying did not forget to make a look of 'it would be like this', hesitated for a long time, and then nodded slowly.

"That's how it should be."

"That's how it should be······"

"Now, it is not yet winter and November, the people and peasants are mostly idle at home, and the government is not in a hurry."

"However, if you don't fill the gap of Jiuqing, when spring begins, you may have redundant government accumulation, and there is a risk of mistaking spring ploughing······"

Slowly and logically said the draft that had been typed a long time ago, Liu Ying smiled a little, and looked at Cao Shen with a little seriousness.

"According to the opinion of Pingyang Hou, there are six vacancies in Jiuqing today, can there be a good choice?"

But when he saw Cao Shen hearing this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then shook his head thoughtfully.

"The minister left Chang'an for a long time, and soon after returning to Chang'an, although he was slightly familiar with the Marquis of Yuanxun, he still did not know much about the affairs of the court."

"These six choices are probably still up to the family."

Seeing Cao Shen's posture, Liu Ying only secretly snorted 'old fox', but made a contemplative look on his face.

Regarding Cao Shen's reaction, although Liu Ying was not 'expected', she was quite understandable.

——As early as in her previous life, Liu Ying had clearly realized that Pingyang Hou Cao Shen was a rare 'otaku faction' among the founding fathers.

Well, otaku politician is a word specially invented by Liu Ying for Cao Shen.

As for what a 'otaku' politician is, it is not difficult to understand.

In Liu Ying's cognition, the characteristics of 'otaku' politicians can also be said to be extremely distinct.

Just like Cao Shen, no matter what position he holds, he will always adhere to the principle of 'taking the lead from behind'.

For example, if a certain river is in normal condition at present, but there is a risk of its levee bursting, then in Cao Shen's principle of 'striking later', this problem is not a problem of the present, but a problem of the future.

As for the 'question of the future', Cao Shen, and even every staunch supporter of Huang Lao's theory, will inevitably give such an answer.

-- Problems in the future will be solved in the future; Now, just solve the problem now.

Therefore, letting Cao Shen manage such a river that has not yet had an accident, but will have an accident sooner or later, will inevitably lead to the result: before the day the levee bursts, Cao Shen will not be able to think of another plan, called 'prevention before it happens'.

It is the same when it comes to the court, as well as the political communication with the courtiers and officials.

- The Son of Heaven asks a question, but I don't answer it anyway; But if there is a problem with your answer, then I will definitely point out your answer

To put it bluntly, people like Cao Shen are real 'conservatives', or 'laggards'.

In Cao Shen's eyes, there is no need to worry about problems that may arise in the future; As long as there are no problems now, even if you are bored enough to drink and sleep a lot, it can be regarded as 'fulfilling your duties'. .

Such behavior or cognition is often described as 'lazy government' and 'slackness' in later generations;

But in today's Han family, this is called 'Huang Lao Wuwei'······

"Old fox, I want to come to this set of ······ again"

Secretly slandering, Liu Ying finally put on a look of 'I really can't think of a way', and shook his head at Cao Shen with a wry smile.

"The Marquis of Pingyang is famous all over the world, and he is the successor of his father's emperor; If the Marquis of Pingyang doesn't know who is up to the task, he is lonely, and he has no good choice······"

Qing Piaopiao used a move Tai Chi to send the cotton fist from Cao Shen back the same way, seeing that Cao Shen was still frowning and contemplative, Liu Ying shook his head again.

"If there is no other way, you can think alone, you can also suspend the people of the past and return to the old job."

"——Ji Hou Gong is not harmful, he was a court lieutenant in the past, but Chen Feng rebelled in the previous year, Zhao, and Ji Hou Fang was temporarily dismissed from the post of court lieutenant because he went out with the army."

"Now that the Kanto region is in turmoil, it is not wrong for Ji Hou to be appointed as the court lieutenant again."

Saying this tentatively, seeing that Cao Shen did not reveal the familiar look of 'what you said is not right', Liu Yingcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The rest, the same is true. ”

"——Qu Zhou Hou Li Shang, who was the guard lieutenant and stayed in the palace at the time, was last to the Ying Bu chaos in Huainan, and the Hou of Qu Zhou worshiped his father as the right minister, and he temporarily resigned from the post of guard lieutenant."

"Today, the Marquis of Zhou has worked hard and is old, but the son of the world is still young, and he should succeed his father's predecessor and think he is a captain."

- The crown prince and the uncle Sun Tong, in the past, were often worshipped because of the "Han Rite"; Although he is now the crown prince, he is still light in government affairs, and it is indispensable to serve as a regular uncle and grandson. ”

"——The position of a pawn has always been 'idle' in the court, even if no one takes care of it, it can be idle for half a year."

"And Zongzheng, also the same as the ······ of the pawn"

After expressing all his opinions, Liu Ying put on a slightly worried face, and said with a weak heart: "Pingyang Hou thinks that this is so, is it okay?" ”
