Yan Wen and Niu Yuan walked into the courtyard one after another, and saw Liu Zhennian in a corridor in front of the atrium, and they hurriedly took a deep look.

Liu Zhennian had already heard that the two were coming to pay their respects, so he put on a neat formal dress and wandered there waiting.

"It's rare for you two to come together," he slowly walked down the steps at this time, and smiled to help the two of them, "What, it's all because of business?" ”

Niu Yuan glanced at Yan Wen secretly, and immediately replied: "The lower official came to make suggestions to the prime minister in order to solve an earth-shattering matter. ”

"What about you?" Liu Zhennian asked Yan Wen.

The latter replied respectfully: "The lower official has another performance, so let Prime Minister Feng talk about him first." ”

"That's good," Liu Zhennian said, "If Prime Minister Feng has anything to say, I'll just stand here and listen." ”

Niu Yuan hurriedly said: "Duke Liu is old and physically inconvenient, not younger than us, it is better to sit down." ”

"What are you young about?" Liu Zhennian laughed, "We are all old men, what can we do at these ages?" I just listened to Menziyu, you have to carry the sedan chair when you come over, and my legs and feet are not as good as mine. ”

"That's not what my subordinates meant."

"What does that mean?" Liu Zhennian said in a joking tone, "Could it be that you have made that great achievement and you are starting to be very proud?" ”

Niu Yuan lowered his head suddenly: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

"It doesn't matter what you think with me, I never blame anyone for it; But there are a lot of eyes in the court, you don't care, people can keep it all in mind, and when the time comes, they have opinions on you, and even use the topic to play and stumble on you, it's hard to say. Except for the emperor, who still sits in a sedan chair in the palace all day long? Be careful in the future. Comrade Chen suddenly became serious.

Niu Yuan replied: "The subordinates usually don't play sedan chairs, and today they are greedy for temporary convenience, so they really shouldn't." After that, you should keep in mind the teachings of the Prime Minister, and you will not commit any more crimes. ”

"Just remember, say yours." Liu Zhennian sighed.

Niu Yuan coughed twice deliberately, and then clenched his fists and said: "Prime Minister, the new policies under your subordinates are all for you, this great victory has made the officials silent, and the opposition is getting smaller and smaller, if you don't take the opportunity to use it, it's a pity." Now that the imperial power is weak and the prime minister's reputation has been covered in the world, why not enter the great cause? If the major event is decided, then Liu Gong's personal authority will be the authority of the country and control the people, who will dare to resist with words? After our advice, the northern and southern barbarians can be leveled! When the country is strong and all the nations come to the court, it will not only make the country stable, but also enjoy the prosperity, wouldn't it be a great thing? ”

After hearing this, Liu Zhennian glanced at Yan Wen silently, but the latter shook his head; He turned his back and said helplessly: "Niu Fengxiang, why did you make such a suggestion three times or twice?" The last time I arrested Zhang Longlu in Laizhou, you were anxious to let me seek the throne and say 'hegemony and re-enforce the laws of the country'; now you have changed your rhetoric, and in the end everything is the same. Now that the national crisis has not yet been applied, I have to rush to seek wealth for myself, don't I sit back and watch the world starve for thousands of miles? If you want to implement a new policy, it is also based on the stability of the country. Once the temple has a different surname, the situation is chaotic, I don't know how much chaos will happen, have you considered this? ”

"But after all, the prime minister is nearly seventy years old, even if he doesn't think about the present, he has to think about the future. Time waits for no one! Niu Yuan was bitter. Yan Wen also looked at the prime minister in front of him with a complicated look, with expectations and losses.

Liu Zhennian pinched a finger of his left hand and shouted: "I am now extremely respected, and I have everything in brocade clothes and jade food, what else do I want to ask for it?" If you really change the dynasty, spread out your children and grandchildren, and ruin my family's business, you will end up with a family raid and extermination! Unless the world is peaceful, I will never do this! ”

These words made the two of them lose their temper, and Niu Yuan was even more speechless.

"What about Yan Xiang," he turned away, looking at him with tired eyes, "Couldn't it be because of this?" ”

"Unlike him. In the province of Zhongshu and everyone have a recital, I don't know if it is feasible, please participate. ”

"Say."

Yan Wen didn't respond, he took out a book from his arms, leaned over and handed it over: "There is a lot of content, I won't be able to finish it in a while, so please read it yourself." ”

Liu Zhennian's eyesight has failed, and it is difficult to look at the paperwork, but when he thought of his thoughts, he took it with one hand and opened it.

He looked down for a long time before he gave it back, and instructed: "The idea in this document is good, go to the study to find a book office to stamp it, and you can go and hand it over to the court yourself." As for the specific method, you should find someone to study and study, and you should not slack off. When the emperor has his approval, I will officially announce it to the world. ”

"I see." Yan Wen bowed, picked up the paperwork, and immediately walked over from Niu Yuan's side.

Niu Yuan had been listening to the conversation between the two with his ears sideways, but as if he hadn't heard anything, he hadn't captured useful information. But when he saw that Liu Zhennian promised so hastily, he thought it was just a trivial matter and didn't take it to heart.

But who knew that this was a good move that Yan Wen used to fight against himself! Of course, Liu Zhennian would not agree so simply, after the two separated, he personally went to Zhongshu Province to learn more about it, and talked with Hong Li and the others until the night. Although he was worried about the discord between the two and doubted the feasibility of this plan, he also knew that the situation in the DPRK could not be unbalanced, and letting Niu Yuan grow bigger indefinitely would eventually lead to the liquidation within the Liu Party, which would be extremely unfavorable to the situation. In the end, he made a decision on Yan Wen's new policy, which made this recital go up to heaven.

The emperor never had any objection to Liu Dang's edict, and he wrote an edict in reply according to Gui Fu's opinion, which contained many contents, but the general meaning was very clear, that is, to officially announce to the outside world: Yan Wen's reform of ancient studies has been unveiled, and will order local governments to set up funds to run schools, and send a supervisor to visit and report the local situation to the imperial court, so as to carry out more radical decisions.

The ministers were disturbed, they were not surprised by this 'ancient learning' new policy, but the battle between Yan Wen and Niu Yuan had already been put on the surface, and they were almost torn apart. Uncle Taisu was extremely excited, he received the edict, returned to the forbidden barracks, and said to Cunzhao: "Everyone in the Liu Party has their own ghosts, I have known for a long time, how could I have thought that there would be such a disaster today!" The resurrection of a party within the party, we can watch the fire from the other side and watch its decline! Eradicate the willow thief, the time is not far away! ”

The clans could gloat at this time, but the officials who were also Qingliu were not in such a good mood, and they took on the burden of this new deal with Yan Wen and were forced to stand on the same road.
