Chapter 382: Emperor Han Rejoices The more chaotic, the better
Since Liu Bei established the Han Dynasty, although Liu Chan, as the crown prince, is still young, because of his identity, he has always been the focus of attention of the government and the opposition.
Dasi Nong Meng Guang had asked Yin Ji Liu Chan's temperament and preferences many times, and wanted to hear Yin Ji's specific views on Liu Chan.
Yin Jishan is famous for knowing people, and he is Liu Chan's master, plus Yin Ji's noble character, so his answer is very referential.
However, under Meng Guang's repeated inquiries, Yin Ji only prepared Corporal Liu Chan Lixian, who had the style of an ancient gentleman.
Meng Guang was not satisfied with Yin Ji's answer, and he said to Yin Ji: "These things like you said are what ordinary people should have; What I'm asking today is to know how the prince's power and wisdom are. ”
Meng Guang has a straightforward temperament and is a rare minister among today's Han Dynasty.
He asked these questions only out of concern for the future of Dahan.
Yin Ji also knew Meng Guang's purpose, but he never answered Meng Guang's question head-on.
Under Yin Ji's repeated avoidance of talking about it, Meng Guang also understood what was going on.
And although Meng Guang did not publicize this matter, others will also inquire about what Meng Guang will inquire, and many ministers know no less than Meng Guang.
Therefore, at present, the entire Han dynasty and the opposition basically know Liu Chanren's character traits of being weak and not good at wisdom.
It is precisely because of this knowledge that today's dozen ministers dare to be so "unscrupulous".
Liu Chan is the prince, and they just bully Liu Chan and don't know what to do.
Once Liu Chan said that Mi Yang's new deal was wrong under their inducement, then this would bring a huge blow to Mi Yang's new deal.
It's just that what these dozen ministers didn't expect was that everything was developing as they envisioned, and Liu Chan was obviously starting to be swayed by them.
But I didn't expect Li Miao, the sixth child, to anger Liu Chan with a direct sentence.
These dozen ministers may not know where Liu Chan's anger is, but this does not prevent them from prostrate themselves in fear under Liu Chan's anger, and they no longer dare to face Liu Chan.
Although the princes of the Han family received Confucian education, it was not for nothing that they were ruthless and killed people indiscriminately.
Don't forget that Liu Chan is a descendant of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Compared with other ministers who were prostrate on the ground in fright, Li Miao's performance was even more embarrassing.
The pain caused by being smashed by the bamboo slips on his body made Li Miao grin in pain, and at the same time, the panic in his heart was accumulating.
This prince is not the same as the one that is rumored in the outside world.
Doesn't it mean that he almost never loses his temper?
Looking at the ministers who were all frightened and panicked because of their anger, although Liu Chan couldn't bear to appear in his eyes, the anger on his face did not decrease at all.
His actions were completely contrary to the teachings of many masters in the past.
But despite this, Liu Chan will not regret Fang Cai's actions.
He knew that he didn't have the extraordinary intelligence of Zhuge Gong, and he didn't know that he didn't have the wise eyes of his father to distinguish between right and wrong.
This caused him to waver in the admonition of more than a dozen ministers just now.
But he knew that there were people who would never betray and deceive him.
It was also in this hall that day that he and his cousin high-fived each other, promising not to fail each other.
The sound of the unswerving oath was still in his ears, how could he doubt his cousin?
He would never do such a thing.
Perhaps he couldn't see why Mi Yang suddenly launched a new deal, and he didn't understand why Mi Yang's new deal caused so many people to criticize.
But he knew that once the oath was made, it was a day, a year, and a lifetime that could not be renegotiated.
Liu Chan is now like a young dragon with teeth and claws, because of the anger in his heart, Liu Chan pointed to the dozen ministers who knelt on the ground, and began to scold indiscriminately:
"Where were you when the champion Hou fought bloodily for the Great Han? When the champion Hou repelled the enemy for the Han Dynasty and raised the prestige of the Han Dynasty, where were you?
Now the champion Hou is the pastor of Liangzhou, he just wants to perform a new policy, but you all jump out to slander him, you are simply ill-intentioned, hateful! ”
Liu Chan has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, so his scolding skills are obviously not good.
Just from his tone, you can hear the strong dissatisfaction in his heart now.
To be honest, the main content of Miyang's new deal is not understood by Liu Chan now.
Just does it matter?
He believes in Mi Yang, so he believes that everything Mi Yang does is for the good of the Han.
In this case, he just needs to support Mi Yang.
Even if this new deal fails in the end, it doesn't matter, who doesn't fail in doing things, and if they fail, they will work hard next time.
This is the most simple idea in Liu Chan's heart now.
Not to mention that he is like this to Mi Yang, he will be like this to Zhuge Liang in the future.
After Liu Chan angrily reprimanded the above words, more than a dozen ministers were so frightened by him that they kept kowtowing.
was angrily reprimanded by Banjun for being ill-intentioned, how could this not make people frightened.
It's just that Liu Chan is not really in power yet, so although he is angry with these dozen ministers, he still stubbornly suppresses his heart and wants to punish them for their actions.
Liu Chan just looked at the dozen ministers with angry eyes, and then coldly spit out a word from his mouth:
"Get out."
When they heard this word, the dozen ministers seemed to be relieved, and immediately bowed to Liu Chan in a hurry, and then left Liu Chan's hall one after another.
Among them, Li Miao almost fell because of the fear in his heart before leaving.
Looking at the dozen or so celebrities who were so talkative in front of him in the past, they actually had this attitude today, and Liu Chan's disdain for them deepened in his heart.
After more than a dozen ministers left, Liu Chan turned his head and said to a little yellow door beside him:
"If I weren't the crown prince now, I would have sent that Li Miao to prison a long time ago."
Hearing Liu Chan's words, the little yellow man immediately praised Liu Chan and said: "The prince is wise and martial, and benevolence and righteousness come first, which is really a blessing for the community." ”
Seeing this little yellow door praising himself like this, Liu Chan's face showed an embarrassed look.
In the past, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang never praised him so much, but they were embarrassed to be embarrassed, and it can be seen that Liu Chan is very useful for such praise.
Liu Chan looked at the little yellow door named Huang Hao with appreciative eyes.
Huang Hao was assigned to him by the Shaofu not long ago, compared to other close attendants, Huang Hao undoubtedly understood what he meant, and was more likely to please him.
So in just a few months, Liu Chan has regarded Huang Hao as his confidant.
After looking at Huang Hao, Liu Chan suddenly remembered something.
It can be seen from the comments of the dozen ministers just now that the entire Yizhou is now maintaining a negative attitude towards Miyang's new policy.
Liu Chan thought that his cousin must be uncomfortable in the face of such a situation.
So Liu Chan pulled Huang Hao to sit down on the book on the side.
He wants to write a letter to comfort Mi Yang, and he wants to tell Mi Yang that no matter what happens, he must stand behind him.
Huang Hao saw Liu Chan's eagerness, so he immediately studied ink for Liu Chan.
After Huang Hao finished studying the ink, Liu Chan immediately raised the brush in his hand and began to write in the middle of the book.
Huang Hao, who was on the side, looked at Liu Chan's inadvertent look of expectation when he wrote a letter to Mi Yang, and then thought of Liu Chan's performance in front of the minister.
He understood Mi Yang's position in Liu Chan's mind.
After realizing this, Huang Hao secretly warned himself in his heart:
"In the future, we must not be the enemy of Liangzhou Mu."
...
As early as when Liu Chan angrily reprimanded Li Miao, Liu Bei, who heard Liu Chan's performance, took Zhuge Liang to leave the palace gate one step earlier.
Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang all the way towards the Imperial Garden.
Along the way, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the two monarchs and ministers, were speechless to each other.
Before and after coming to the Qingtan at the Imperial Garden, Liu Bei stopped.
After Liu Bei stopped, Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's shoulders begin to shake slightly.
Then bursts of laughter came out of Liu Bei's mouth.
As Liu Bei's laughter floated in Zhuge Liang's ears, the words in his mouth were also clearly heard by Zhuge Liang.
"I don't have to worry about it, I don't have to worry about it."
This sentence explained why Liu Bei suddenly laughed.
And what made Liu Bei feel worry-free was Liu Chan's performance just now.
knows his son Mo Ruo's father, not to mention that Liu Bei is a monarch who is famous for his knowledge of people.
The minister knows something about Liu Chan's character, how could Liu Bei not know?
It is precisely because he knows that Liu Bei was worried in the past.
Adou, who is not good at wisdom, will be able to protect the Han world he has conquered in the future?
Such worries have been lingering in Liu Bei's heart in the past.
Therefore, after the incident when the ministers attacked Mi Yang's new policy, he said that he was sick and did not see the ministers, but asked the ministers to ask Liu Chan for his opinion on the matter.
Liu Bei's intentions at this point, many ministers have guessed it.
However, no one guessed the real deep intention of Liu Bei's actions.
Since Liu Bei already knew the true situation of Liu Chan, it was of course not his wisdom that he asked the minister to test Liu Chan.
Resourcefulness is a lot of a matter of talent.
Since Liu Chan had never had superb insight before, no matter how much he was tested, it would be difficult for Liu Chan to improve his wisdom again.
What Liu Bei really wants to test is Liu Chan's character.
In the past, many people praised Liu Chan for his generous temperament, but as a monarch, it didn't matter whether his temperament was lenient or not.
Among the many Ming monarchs of the Western Han Dynasty, which ones were lenient?
If you want to keep a good society, Liu Bei's minimum requirement for Liu Chan is to know who should believe and who should not believe.
It's just that for this, even Liu Bei didn't have confidence in his heart in the past.
After all, since Liu Chan was studying, most of the people he has come into contact with are Yizhou scholars, and in such a situation, it is normal for Liu Chan to be more emotionally biased towards them.
So Liu Bei arranged today's test, and personally listened to the results of Liu Chan's test outside the main hall.
Although Liu Chan's performance at a loss at first made Liu Bei very dissatisfied.
But when he heard that Liu Chan was supporting Mi Yang, Liu Bei's heart was full of joy.
He had already gotten the answer he wanted, so he left with Zhuge Liang.
is also pleased with Liu Chan's performance, so Liu Bei laughed so heartily in front of Zhuge Liang.
Listening to Liu Bei's hearty laughter, maybe Zhuge Liang couldn't guess Liu Bei's deep intentions at first, but looking at all of Liu Bei's performance, he had already guessed it at this time.
Zhuge Liang bowed to Liu Bei and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
Zhuge Liang didn't explicitly congratulate Liu Bei, but Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang had guessed everything.
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang after laughing, and he asked, "You can come today, which shows that the entire public opinion situation is very unfavorable to Zicheng now." ”
Faced with Liu Bei's judgment, Zhuge Liang nodded with a worried face.
Compared with Zhuge Liang's worries, Liu Bei did not have any sadness on his face.
Because as a monarch, he can use more means than Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang's hand and came to the waterhole, he looked at the calm waterhole under his feet, and said with deep meaning: "Since the battle of Hanzhong, Chengdu has been too quiet.
It's like the pool of water under our feet, lifeless.
Does Kong Ming think this will be a good thing? ”
Liu Bei's question, Zhuge Liang looked at the waterhole of the ancient well under his feet and replied:
"It may seem calm on the surface, but it is precisely because of the calm that ordinary people cannot judge how many undercurrents and fish want to pounce on their prey hidden in this deep and bottomless pool."
Hearing Zhuge Liang's answer, Liu Bei sighed lightly and nodded.
"I never thought that the wealthy family would be completely submissive because of the peace of mind back then.
Their dissatisfaction with me, I have always known in my heart.
Don't hide it from Kong Ming, I have always wanted to find a chance to calm the chaos again, but the Han wars were frequent before, and I have never been able to pull out this hand.
In addition, those wealthy families have seemed to be quite peaceful in recent years, and I have no reason to do this for a while. ”
"But what is there that is greedy for fish that does not bite the hook?
Fish die for bait, and people also die for profit, which is an eternal truth. ”
"I'm going to do what I have to do, and besides, I'm getting more and more gray hair."
When Zhuge Liang suddenly heard Liu Bei's words, a look of shock appeared on his face.
Although Liu Bei didn't say it too clearly, Zhuge Liang knew the metaphor in Liu Bei's words.
The monarch's physical condition has always been the biggest secret of the country, and Liu Bei's ability to tell him about it shows that Liu Bei has full trust in him.
It's just that Zhuge Liang instinctively resisted this secret, and he wanted to open his mouth to comfort Liu Bei.
And Liu Bei seemed to have expected it, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhuge Liang that there was no need to be relieved.
Liu Bei naturally knows about his physical condition, after all, he is over sixty years old, and he also has old diseases when he was young.
However, the promising sons of the Han family, they have never been afraid of life and death, they are only afraid of doing nothing in their lives.
So Liu Bei continued calmly: "People are inherently dead, and kings are no different.
Moreover, in this world, the number of people who wish to die may be like a carp crossing the river, innumerable.
But before that day comes, I will take care of many things for the prince, for you, and for the son. ”
】
Hearing Liu Bei say this, Zhuge Liang showed a sad look on his face and was silent.
Seeing the sad look on Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Bei asked him, "Do you know how to make the undercurrents hidden under the calm water surface and all the fish be revealed?" ”
Regarding Liu Bei's test, Zhuge Liang remembered what Liu Bei said, and he already had a guess in his heart.
It's just that before Zhuge Liang answered, Liu Bei told Zhuge Liang to answer with action.
I saw Liu Bei bend down and pick up a stone, and then throw it straight into the calm pool.
When a large stone is thrown into the water like a bronze mirror, the water surface cracks into pieces of broken lenses in an instant.
Then, centered on the landing point of the boulder, strong waves began to shoot towards the entire pool.
Under the rapid spread of violent fluctuations, the originally calm water surface became tumbling.
Many filthy debris that were originally hidden deep under the surface of the water, the fish were completely exposed in front of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the two monarchs and ministers.
Glance.
Looking at the disgusting filth and debris, the greedy fish that swam in a panic in search of food, a coldness appeared on Liu Bei's face.
"Mess up, the more messy the better.
Did Zicheng do it wrong?
They all thought I was old.
I'm old, but I'm still using the knife! ”
