Volume II: Mountains Have Trees and Trees Have Branches 119: Arguments

Liu Ying looked at her with a smile and said, "Those things in the court, you won't understand Ah Yan when you talk about them." ”

She was unconvinced, "Your Majesty's words are not fair enough, if you don't say it, how do you know that I won't understand?" ”

He was teased by her, "Oh? So I will ask Ah Yan for advice, is it the best way to govern the country with purity and inaction? ”

This year, Liu Ying will turn 20 years old. Twenty years old is a man's rite of passage, and after being crowned, he is no longer a child in the eyes of anyone, and should independently assume all the responsibilities entrusted to him by his family and country.

When he was the prince, he also had many ideals for governing the country. But only after he really became the emperor did he realize that there were too many differences between reality and ideals. The friendship and marriage between the founding heroes are like vines, and even if he is the heir, he also has a feeling that he can't be constrained.

Among them, the one who made him feel powerless the most was Xiangguo Cao Shen.

Xiao He recommended Cao Shen to him before he went, and he sent an envoy to Qi to invite Cao Shen back to the court. However, Cao participated in the Han Dynasty for two years, got by, did not change anything, and did not make any achievements in the Han Dynasty, he had selfishly doubted whether Xiangguo suspected that he was young and embarrassed, so he sent Taizhong Doctor Cao Gu home, and asked his father, "There is nothing to ask for for Xiangguo's daily drink, why worry about the world?" Cao Shen was angry and flogged, and reprimanded, "Fun to serve, the world is not what should be said!" ”

Even though he is recognized as a benevolent king, Liu Ying is still a young man after all, so he can't help but be a little angry, so he deliberately asked Cao Shen in the court on the second day, "The matter of the day before yesterday has nothing to do with Cao Dong, but I ordered him to advise Xiangguo." ”

Cao Shen could scold his son, and he had no choice but to apologize in front of the emperor, and asked, "Your Majesty thinks who is more holy, you or Emperor Gao?" ”

Liu Ying naturally humbly admitted, "I don't dare to look at the first emperor." ”

"Then Your Majesty thinks who is more virtuous to participate in Xiao He?"

"You don't seem to be as good as you."

"Your Majesty said yes." Cao Shen arched his hand and smiled, "Emperor Gao and Xiao He set the world. Isn't it very good that there is a decree, Your Majesty hangs the arch, participates in the duties, and obeys the duty? ”

He was stunned, and always felt a little depressed in his heart, but he couldn't find anything to argue for a while, so he had to say, "Good." Retire! ”

"Nonsense," Zhang Yan's chin raised a beautiful arc. "To stand on the shoulders of giants is to see higher and farther. It's not to make yourself stand still and cringe. ”

"Oh?" Liu Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Ah Yan's statement is novel. I've never heard of it. ”

She looked sideways at Yanran and said. "The world is so big, there are many things Your Majesty has never heard of. Besides," she said softly as her right hand played with the sleeve of her left hand, wrapping it around her fingers one by one. "I never felt that His Majesty was inferior to the first emperor." His cheeks were slightly red, and he was quite embarrassed.

Liu Ying smiled dumbly, "You are short-guarded, just like the queen mother." The last sentence was a sigh.

The palace people quietly brought down the food table. Liu Ying took her hand and walked into the inner hall, and asked, "Ah Yan thinks what Cao Xiangguo said is wrong?" ”

The words were like small talk. It's like asking deliberately. Zhang Yan's heart was inexplicably open and soft, and she looked up at him and said, "Hmm." Kneeling opposite Liu Ying, "Emperor Gao laid down the country, and Xiao Xiangguo assisted Emperor Gao to govern the Han Dynasty in an orderly manner. They don't want latecomers to just stick to their rules. Rather, I hope that Your Majesty will carry on their legacy. Create a Han world where Haiqing Heyan is born. ”

She smiled and said, "Emperor Gao and Xiao Xiangguo are indeed sages. However, they tried their best to create a new dynasty on this ruined country, in which the rules and regulations were all crude, and it depended on His Majesty and Cao Xiangguo to improve and train future generations. If you pile up all the problems until they are critical, and then they explode and throw them to future generations," she raised her eyebrows, "how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" ”

Liu Ying smiled at the girl in front of her who was talking, her eyes were bright and confident, her eyebrows were flying, and there was a dazzling brilliance, which made people reluctant to leave.

He has always liked Ah Yan's innocence and cuteness, and he is amiable, but today he can see the other side of Ah Yan, vertical and horizontal, and he can't help but be very surprised, such Ah Yan is more vivid and thick in his heart, quietly hidden in his heart, waiting for a day to ferment, "Ah Yan's words have the air of killing men, not like other girls at all." He smiled, his eyes staring at each other.

"Uh," she stumbled, slightly surprised, "doesn't Your Majesty like it?" In an instant, she returned to her former little daughter condition.

"Nothing." He sighed.

He added, "It's just that Cao Xiangguo said that the people are tired now, so we should rest and recuperate and support the people, and there will be fewer incidents." It also seems to make sense. He seemed to have forgotten that it was only a thirteen-year-old girl in front of him, and he discussed with her very seriously about the boring affairs that should have been done with the female dependents.

"Didn't you say," Zhang Yan said in surprise, "Xu Xiang's agricultural research is quite effective, and the harvest in the middle of last year's customs is large, and the private grain storage can be supported for half a year more than in previous years?" ”

"This is only the first year," Liu Ying said, "There are abundant apologies every year, not to mention, Ende is only locked up." ”

"That's hope, too." Zhang Yan said with a smile, "If this trip is successful, the time for the Han to rest and recuperate will be reduced by at least half." ”

"Hmm. I think so, too. Liu Yingzhen praised, "Xu Xiang has made great progress in this matter." ”

There's an even more indispensable person, but unfortunately you won't know. Zhang Yan sighed and said, "Now the Han Dynasty is much better than when the first emperor first won the world. "Legend has it that when Liu Bang first became emperor, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven couldn't find four horses with the same hair color, and Xiao He, as the prime minister, sat in an ox cart for several days." It is certainly necessary to build a construction project and cost the people and money, but there are some things that can also be done. ”

"For example?"

Ah, her uncle will also make a bad person. Zhang Yan only felt a slight sweetness in her heart, so she couldn't hide the smile on her lips, and suddenly said slyly, "Now there is a big problem in the big Han, which has been revealed, but it is not obvious, but if it is left unchecked, it will always cause trouble in the long run, I don't know when Lord Cao Xiangguo will find out?" ”

"Oh?" Liu Ying couldn't help but be a little surprised, leaned forward slightly, and asked, "What did Ah Yan say?" ”

"I want to know," she was about to sell. Suddenly, I heard some slight commotion outside the hall, and I couldn't help but look outside.

"Your Majesty," Chang Lu frowned and said, "Zhao Liangren sent someone over, saying that it was already night, why didn't Your Majesty come to her yet." ”

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment.

He covered his sleeves and coughed, feeling quite embarrassed.

The emperor with a weak crown, no matter how bad he is a woman, there are always several concubines in the harem. This Zhao Liangren is a favored one. Because of that, today is not the day he stays in the Jiaofang Palace. Previously, he had indeed promised where Zhao Jie would go to her tonight.

It's just that he was talking to Ah Yan about sex today, and he felt that he had swept away the depression in his heart recently, and he felt quite unfinished. The brightly lit Jiaofang Hall was warm and warm, and he was reluctant to leave suddenly, hesitated for a moment, turned around and instructed Chang Liu, "You tell her." He said that I had something to do today, and I would go over to accompany her another day. ”

Zhang Yan lowered her bluffing face after Chang Xiao came in and spoke, and then turned away.

She narrowed her eyes silently in the middle of nowhere.

The tiger is not powerful, you and I are a sick cat.

I uphold the idea of not being out of sight and not being upset and not bothering with you, but you think that I, the queen of the middle palace, am young and can be bullied, right? Even when Liu Ying was still sitting in my hall, he dared to come over and rob people blatantly?

Zhao Liangren, huh? The so-called coming and not being rude. Yours came to give me a catch, I wonder if you can stand my return gift?

"What exactly did Ah Yan Shi mean by that?" In her ear, Liu Ying continued to ask.

Zhang Yan came back to her senses. Yanran smiled, "Didn't Your Majesty still say that I don't understand this, why did Baba come to ask me at this time?" ”

Under the candlelight, she squinted slightly, proud and delicate. Like a charming and natural childish fox, Liu Ying is soft in her heart. But he said, "Most of them are just children's children's words, but as an emperor, I still have to speak widely, so as not to have the responsibility of listening." ”

She pursed her nose and said with a smile, "In this case, if Yan is wrong, let Your Majesty punish one thing, and dare not resign." But if Your Majesty thinks that what Yan said is polite, shouldn't he also have some reward? ”

"Little ghost." He reached out and knocked on her head, and scolded with a smile, "I don't want to suffer." ”

Zhang Yan smiled, sat down next to Liu Yingzhong again, stretched out his hand and scratched on the case in front of him, "The first emperor had Wenchen around him to plan and strategize, and the generals fought and killed, so he ruled the country after the Han Dynasty. It was a matter of course. But Your Majesty, these meritorious heroes, even if you count the middle and middle officers of the Han army at that time, are at most only fifty or sixty thousand. And how many people are there in the Han world today? ”

"According to last year, there are more than 300,000 households and more than one million people today." Liu Ying replied if she understood.

"That's it." Zhang Yan bowed, "There are many people in the world, but there are few people in the hero group." The imperial court only uses past heroes to elect officials. These heroes are slowly aging, but Your Majesty is young, how can you continue to use the selection of officials? ”

"As usual," Liu Ying replied with a frown, "the meritorious man can be a son or two." ”

This is grace, not the way to govern. Xiao is called a virtuous appearance, and what is his son's talent? Zhang Yan asked casually, "In the long run, the court will become a pool of stagnant water, and His Majesty will feel that there is no one available." However, many sages in the grass fields other than the heroes were isolated from the court and had nothing to do. If it is radicalized by someone with a heart, it may not be a threat to my big man. ”

"Ah Yan is a bit alarmist, right?" Liu Ying reluctantly smiled and said, "I can ask for the virtuous edict to beg the grass and the wilderness, Shangshan Sihao is not the minister of the dragon back then, I respect him like a teacher and a friend." ”

"These are just special cases, how many people can be accounted for? The rivers and seas do not choose a trickle in order to become big. Sticking to a small clique will only make you more and more rigid, and the question is, what kind of people does Your Majesty want to control your court? If you want to form a system of advanced entry into the dynasty, you can make the two compartments communicate with each other and finally become one, and this game of chess can be lived. ”

"So," Liu Ying asked, "Ah Yan thinks that how to solve this problem?" ”

Under the candlelight, she flickered her eyes and smiled, "Ah Yan is just a harem lady, and she has seen history recently, so she advised Your Majesty." As for how to solve it,—— this is a matter between His Majesty and Xiangguo, and it has nothing to do with me. It's getting late, I'm going to take a shower. ”

*********************

I feel that Ah Yan is weaving a net for the shrimp, waiting for the ignorant uncle to walk in step by step?

What, I thought about it, in fact, it's hard for me to change three thousand a day a day, and it's not impossible to pinch it into two thousand, but it doesn't seem to say much in each chapter. In order to thank everyone for their support on the monthly ticket list, I always want to pay more, so I will try it out in May, and add a chapter with 400 votes per month.

I know it's very little compared to other adults, but it's my heart. Everyone laughed at it.

On the first day of May, sincerely ask for pink tickets.
