The city of Chang'an became more and more prosperous, with rivers and gurgling water flowing around the mountains, and then converging outside Chang'an, in addition to Weishui, there are other tributaries, like jade belts, these rivers irrigate this beautiful plain, and millions of people in Guanzhong cultivate in turn.

"Eight rivers surround Chang'an, the emperor of all ages!"

Luo Xin sighed with emotion, looking at the scene in front of him, his mood was very comfortable, his sideburns were slightly white, and the skin and flesh on his face were slightly sagging, but his temperament was still so straight, his waist was always straight, the wind blew through his robe, and it looked even a little old.

It is indeed relatively old, this official uniform was given by Lu Pheasant back then, he is a nostalgic person, and after so many years, he is still the prime minister, so he did not change it.

"Your Majesty, this water and soil is the Great Han Dynasty, and it is the foundation of Zhuxia for eternity.

As long as these rivers are still there, as long as the plains of Guanzhong are still there, millions of subjects can be nurtured here, and with these millions of people, Zhuxia will be prosperous forever.

On the high mountain, the verdant forests must be protected, and the rivers surrounding Chang'an must be dredged in time. ”

Liu Heng was by his side, compared to when he first succeeded to the throne two years ago, he had grown a little taller, but he still looked like a child, and nodded when he heard the words.

Then he looked at the farmland in the distance, his face was full of curiosity, and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing here with Heng'er?" Is it to farm? As you said, the ancient holy kings would personally farm, and the world was based on agriculture. ”

Luo Xin smiled, squatted down, pointed to the farmer in the distance, and then pointed to the green mountains in the distance and said, "Your Majesty, you are still too young to stand it, wait until you grow up, and the minister will bring you back."

You said that if you want to be a benevolent emperor, then you have to take a good look at these.

Look at the farmer, who toiled every day, paid taxes to the Han, and then used the rest of the rations to feed the family, and if he had any leftovers, he could sell them at the bazaar for some money, and then exchange them for something to go home.

In the Han Dynasty, there were thousands of these farmers, and it was these people that you could live in a luxurious palace, and you could have silk and satin on your body, so that you could sit comfortably on the seat of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Is there a palace in this world that is unstable but strong?

Is there a towering giant tree in this world that has rotten roots but stands in the wind and rain?

Is there a tyranny in this world that the people do not support but are not overthrown?

Don't let these people not survive.

The cost of three meals a day for emperors, nobles, officials, and powerful people may be the wealth of these people in a month.

If they are stable, your throne will be stable, and if they can't live, the Han Dynasty will be like the Qin Dynasty, spreading smoke everywhere and rising up, just like the royal family of the Qin Dynasty died without a place to be buried.

This is the way of the world!

Changing the way of the world is what the sages have taught us.

Chen's family has worked tirelessly to improve farming tools, cultivate better seeds, and find ways to make the land more fertile, but there has been no qualitative change.

If you have the wealth, let these people live well, give them hope, and let them understand that nothing is destined in this world.

Inspection, inspection, not only to choose from the clan relatives and nobles, but also among the people there are also capable ministers, not to be despised.

This is what the minister expects from you. ”

Luo Xin's expectations for Liu Heng are very high, because after two years of contact, Liu Heng is a very smart child, and his talent alone is far more than Liu Ying.

Liu Heng's little head was a little dizzy, and Luo Xin smiled helplessly, "When you grow up, the minister will bring you again." ”

Luo's son will learn how to farm, Luo Xin wants Liu Heng to learn too, only empathy can change a person from the heart.

Even Luo Xin didn't expect Liu Heng to be so young, but he kept everything he said in his heart, and after the group boarded the carriage, Liu Heng also took one last look at the farmer who was working hard.

A seed fell in his heart at this time.

The huge convoy left, the wind blew again, and the shadows of farmers were everywhere in the fields.

……

In the golden autumn season, the sky is high and refreshing, the sky is cloudless, a few wisps of breeze blow, bringing a burst of refreshment, especially in the palace, the palace wall is extremely high and continuous, not the noon hanging in the sky and the night is high, the sun and the moon are not seen.

Chang'an City was supervised by Luo Yi, this huge palace complex was also built by Luo Yi, adhering to the idea that there is no magnificence to show the emperor's prestige, Luo also left a lot of blanks.

With the gradual recovery over the years, coupled with the intention of weakening the strong and powerful in Shandong, these people are often asked to contribute money and efforts to build the palace.

It is a kind of harvesting system that is compatible with the Lingyi system.

However, after the death of Lu Pheasant, Liu Ying stopped the construction and maintenance of these palaces, because he believed that this was a waste of national strength after all, and even if it was a powerful force, as long as it was guided to the right place, it could also contribute to the Han Dynasty.

Luo Xin is noncommittal about this idea, no policy is always right, and it always needs to be tried.

When Liu Bang was alive, Luo was also a frequent visitor to the palace, but with the regency of Lu Pheasant, only Luo Xin was left with the foreign ministers who often came and went here.

Especially before Liu Ying got married, he came and went in Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace at will.

It's been more than 20 years now.

Luo Xin is more familiar with this place than Emperor Liu Heng and Empress Dowager Zhang Yan.

A team of palace ladies and eunuchs came and went quietly, and as the Chang'an Palace was built for longer and longer, this palace was gradually contaminated with turbidity.

Especially the owner of this palace is a child, the real master of the Han Empire, the regent and the prime minister, it is impossible to live in the harem, so a lot of tricks are breeding in the dark.

Weiyang Palace.

This was once the center of the world's politics in the era of the Empress Dowager Lu, but of course the current Zhang Yan does not have such power, and Luo Xin, who works in Changle Palace, is the most powerful person in the world.

However, because the emperor does not live in Changle Palace, but lives in Weiyang Palace, compared with the cold and lonely Changle Palace, Weiyang Palace is a grand scene.

Even if the Han Imperial Palace is strictly thrifty, in the Han Dynasty, who believes in ruling the world with filial piety, no matter how frugal it is, it will not make the Queen Mother live a shabby life.

Therefore, the queen mother's bedroom is always lit by colored candles, and the light in the palace is extremely bright, which is completely devoid of the dullness in ordinary palaces.

The palace people in the hall are like butterflies walking among the flowers, frequent in and out, but there is no sound, although the thin clothes are wide, but only slightly swaying, even if they walk head-on, between the sleeves, even the slightest breeze has not been felt.

Zhang Yan groomed in the mirror under the waiting of the palace people, looked at the delicate face in the mirror, and sighed slightly, she was in the prime of life, but she was trapped in the palace every day.

Seeing this, the maid said softly: "Queen Mother, yesterday the Hou Mansion sent a letter in, saying that it was not in a hurry, and let the maid pass it on to you this morning." ”

The prince is naturally the marquis Zhang Budo, although Zhang Yan did not get the power of regent, and the Zhang family is not as powerful as the Lu family.

But as the emperor's foreign family, Zhang's status is still not ordinary, and he has become the first of the nobles outside the Luo clan among the founding heroes.

After all, the situation in the world is very clear now, and the prime minister is powerful, but after all, the age is there, and Luo Xin's child is still young, so it is impossible to take over the position of prime minister.

The rest of Luo's sons are all in Zhaocheng, including the heirs of Yinghou, who have basically never been to Chang'an, and I don't know if they will join the government.

Although His Majesty in the palace is still young, as the saying goes: three years old is big, seven years old is old, and now it is a benevolent monarch like Emperor Xiaohui.

When the prime minister dies, the Zhang family still holds the power.

This is what many people think, and even Luo Xin thinks that this idea is fine, but according to historical experience, usually those who think like this will end up overturning.

The Zhang family was the top aristocrat in South Korea in the past, and in terms of identity alone, it was more noble than the Lu family, which was only a branch of the Qi family back then, and in today's Han Dynasty, it is second only to the Luo family.

But except for the Luo family, the family heritage and bloodline have never been related, I don't know how many descendants of the Bang Zhou nobles in this world, the real heritage has always been knowledge, family style, book collection, etc., and these things of the Zhang family have been destroyed.

Except for the Fifth Xianghan who can be taken out as a show-off, the Zhang family is no different from the other Chehou families.

A palace person quietly passed a message in, "Queen Mother, the prime minister has arrived at Changle Palace and sent someone to pick up His Majesty to teach." ”

Zhang Yan said: "Send my brother's letter, send Heng'er to Dacheng to get along, don't delay Heng'er." ”

Luo Xinduan was sitting in a special office place in Changle Palace and was silently handling government affairs, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty has arrived." ”

Luo Xinyan put down the affairs in his hand, turned around and entered another side hall, where Liu Heng was sitting quietly.

His little face is very immature, inheriting the advantages of his parents, with a delicate and handsome appearance, red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes, even if he is born in an ordinary family, he will be a likable child.

A smile appeared in Luo Xin's eyes, probably every teacher likes smart and clever students.

What does a regent who doesn't want to rebel do?

Many people think that it is enough to be in charge of state affairs, but this is actually too biased.

Whether the regents want to keep their lives alive or keep their names after their deaths, the most important thing is the relationship with the emperor.

Ji Zhao, Luo Su, and Luo Cheng all pay great attention to this, the image of a strict father is absolutely not good, men are naturally repulsed by another man, if a strict image is placed on top of this, it will definitely give birth to a rebellious mentality and be regarded as a threat.

In particular, the regent is completely different from an ordinary emperor, and the regent can really threaten the emperor, so what the emperor feels is not for his good, but the sharpness of the sword.

When teaching the emperor, we must pay attention to the ways and means.

Thinking of these in his heart, Luo Xin walked into the hall, and Liu Heng said crisply: "Uncle is fine." ”
