Chapter 291: Son of Heaven: Yo, Enlightenment?
Different from the 'eventful autumn' of the past few years - after the arrival of the fifth year of the Son of Heaven, time flies very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of the fifth year of the Son of Heaven, the middle of winter and November;
The year-end audit and year-end accounting were all completed in an orderly manner with the full cooperation of the newly formed Jiuqing team in Chang'an Chaotang.
And in the Shuowang Dynasty on the 15th day of the 11th month of winter, the crown prince Liu Sheng appeared again at the court meeting held in the Xuanshu Hall after a few months.
Everyone knows that this court meeting, this Shuowang Dynasty, there will be several changes or improvements related to the next few years, or even a hundred and ten, and the Han family court will change or improve certain major policies of the country.
But even so, the Shuowang Dynasty on this day still left a deep impression on everyone present.
——The amount of information in this Shuowang Dynasty is too large······
"I heard that a few days ago, Neishi went to the Imperial Palace?"
"After that, the kings of Hejian and Jiangdu went to Changle Palace to resign and leave Beijing to ······"
···
"Pavilion pottery master, it doesn't seem to be very peaceful recently?"
"—isn't it······"
"——Recently, the Changxin Palace is really full of people, and the Queen Mother is also busy and haggard······"
···
"The Hun mission has arrived in Chang'an, and I don't know when His Majesty will summon it?"
"——I want to come to this day, and I am about to discuss this matter······"
···
Kneeling in the east seat of Chaoban, the 'special seat' closer to the imperial order than the first one, listening to the whispers of the ministers and hundreds of officials on his side, Liu Sheng's face was only indifferent.
If nothing else, in today's Shuowang Dynasty, Liu Sheng will not say a word;
If he could, Liu Sheng would rather not even blink his eyes and move his body half an inch.
But every topic discussed in today's Shuowang Dynasty will be closely related to Liu Sheng.
Today's Shuowang Dynasty is a major turning point in Liu Sheng's entire political career and even his entire life······
"Your Majesty is coming~"
"Greetings to all officials~"
"Kneel ~~~"
"-Ministers, welcome to Your Majesty~"
"——I wish my emperor thousands of generations, long happiness and longevity~~~"
After the long and elegant singing of the confessor, it was followed by the loud sound of the hundred officials bowing loudly, and the figure of kneeling down towards the royal couch;
After about three breaths, the Son of Heaven Qi, who appeared between the imperial couch and the imperial case, also arched his hand towards the center of the hall, and then the symbolic upper body leaned forward at an almost invisible angle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, sit in peace."
···
"Today, Shuowang Dynasty, all the public and hundreds of officials, speak freely."
"If there is a political neglect and I do not investigate, the people are suffering and I don't know about it, or one side is in trouble, but I have not heard of it, I should speak up and admonish."
"Whoever has something to say, reward;"
"Whoever finds out what is wrong with this will not be punished."
"However, if there is indeed such a thing, and those who know about it and do not play it, once it is found out, they will be severely punished and severely punished!"
Full of energy to make the opening remarks for this Shuowang Dynasty, Tianzi Qi took a deep breath, and then saw the eyes of exploration, scattering hundreds of figures in the hall.
Not surprisingly: Tianzi Qi's gaze stayed uncontrollably for a moment more on the prince's 'special seat' in front of the imperial couch, where Liu Sheng was sitting.
It was this moment of pause that several figures in the court stood up solemnly, and walked forward according to the previous plan like sergeants who had received instructions to attack.
"Uncle Tian, the inner historian, there is a play!"
"——In the autumn of the fourth year of Your Majesty's new year, the emperor's eldest son, King Linjiang, was honored by the edict and entered Chang'an;
"In the ninth autumn, the kings of Hejian, Lu, Jiangdu, Changsha, and Jiaoxi, as well as Chang'an."
"Today, the kings of Chang'an are more than a month, and the elders are like the king of Linjiang, and they have been for several months."
"Emperor Taizu Gao's system: All Han princes, unless the edict of the Son of Heaven, are not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission, and they are not allowed to enter the dynasty Chang'an, and the edict should not exceed the month."
"Therefore, Uncle Tian, the minister of the internal history, suddenly bowed to the head and died a hundred times: I implore Your Majesty to issue an edict to order the kings of Linjiang and Hejian to leave Beijing and ······ the country."
···
"Zong Zhengde, Houchen Liu Tong, there is a performance!"
"Your Majesty's sons are ten, and those who are full of age and become kings and vassals are ten."
"Today, the eldest son of the emperor has been named the king of Linjiang, the second son of the emperor has been named the king of Hejian, and the fourth son of the emperor has been named the king of Lu;"
"The fifth son of the emperor, the king of Jiangdu, the sixth son of the king of Changsha, and the eighth son of the king of Jiaoxi."
"—These six have all been crowned kings and vassals."
"The third son of the other emperor, Changshan Wang Si, is the heir and the heir is abolished, and his country is abolished."
"The ninth son of the emperor and the eldest son of the emperor's concubine will be crowned as the crown prince by the queen mother."
"In addition to these eight, there are two other people, who are full of teeth and should be crowned kings, but they are either not crowned or not vassalized."
"Therefore: Liu Tong, the marquis of Zongzhengde, is the first to be stunned, and he is dead for a hundred years;"
"I respectfully ask Your Majesty to issue an edict, and the tenth son of the emperor, Jiaoxi Wang Yu, will leave Beijing to go to the country."
"Go to Changle again, face the queen mother, and make the king with Peng Zu, the seventh son of the Shang Emperor, and ······ the affairs of the domain."
···
"Fengchang Nanpi Marquis Peng Zu, there is a play!"
"Ministers often hear: husband and husband, self-cultivation and family, governing the country and the world."
"Now the prince has been established, and the dynasty has been established, but there has been no emperor and grandson born in the world for a long time, which is the great misfortune of the world and the sect."
"——Although the prince is not yet the crown, he is also of the age of marriage."
"Therefore: Peng Zu, the Marquis of Chang Nanpi, is the first to be sudden, and he is dead for a hundred years;"
"I implore Your Majesty to pro-court Changle, discuss with the Queen Mother, and choose the virtuous and gentle, so as to fill the prince's family······"
···
"Yuan An, the servant, there is a play!"
"The Xiongnu Northern Barbarians were treacherous, ruined the covenant of Emperor Xiaowen of the first Taizong, and the alliance of the military ministers of the Yu Di chieftain, and raised swords and soldiers to destroy the Yanmen Garden of my Han family."
"Yanmen Garden, Emperor Taizong personally set up, out of the treasury money and built, to raise horses, supply war horses to rejuvenate the cavalry of the national weapon!"
"The Northern Barbarians are good at raising swords, bad for the horse politics of my Han family, and really deceive no one in my Han family!"
"Therefore: Yuan An, the servant of the imperial courtier, is stunned, and he is dead for a hundred years!"
"I implore Your Majesty to summon the northern barbarian envoy to the Xuan Room and answer the guilt in front of the hundred officials!!"
···
···
······
For a moment, everyone gathered in the Xuanshu Hall had an illusion.
The voices of the four people who stood up one after another echoed in the temple.
Uncle Arita has a calm and powerful tone, and it is extremely firm;
There is Liu Tong's slightly urgent, more implicit voice with urgency;
There is Dou Pengzu's elegance of not being slow and talking;
There is also Yuan Ang's murderous spirit, quite brutal and rude.
When these four distinctive, highly personal voices were mixed together and kept echoing in everyone's mind, almost all of them showed a look of stunnedness.
- Big!
The amount of information behind the actions of these four people is really too great······
"Hmm······"
"I just asked casually, and I attracted the origin of four of the nine Qings?"
"It seems that recently, there are really a lot of problems that I have overlooked······"
"Ann?"
Hearing Tianzi Qi's obviously insincere 'self-deprecation', all the officials in the hall were busy and bowed.
Words such as 'Your Majesty is not like this', 'Your Majesty's words are serious', 'We really didn't do things well for Your Majesty', instantly filled the sky above the Xuanshu Palace.
But when everyone was busy bowing down and lowering their heads, Tianziqi's meaningful, even playful gaze fell on Liu Sheng impartially.
"Hey;"
"Stinky Boy ······"
"It's quick enough."
"I just don't know if I can really be ruthless······"
Thinking about it with some bad taste, he really couldn't see anything from Liu Sheng's indifferent face, but Tianziqi was not annoyed;
He just smiled and waved his hand to stop the rainbow fart symphony of all the officials, and let out a short sigh with a smile.
"Alas~"
"Old~"
"-Neishi, Zongzheng, Fengchang, and Taifu all stood up, and said so much in one go, I couldn't react a little."
"Come one by one."
As he spoke, he saw Tianziqi glance at Liu Sheng again, and then looked at Uncle Tian on the other side of the pilgrimage with a deliberately friendly smile.
"I understand what Neishi said."
"——My sons entered Chang'an, and they stayed too long, violating the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao."
"So, I should let them go back."
"That's what happened, right?"
As soon as Tianzi Qi's voice fell, he saw Uncle Tian's face not changing and nodded heavily.
"When the princes and kings enter Chang'an, they can only stay for a month at most, which is a rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao;"
"And the clan princes exist to suppress the place and guard the border for my Han family."
"If there were no rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao, the princes of the clan would definitely come to Chang'an every few months, and they would not be willing to leave for several months if they came."
"Over time, these clan princes are no different from those who are stranded in Chang'an, but they are idle at home."
"As for suppressing the localities and guarding the border areas, I can't count on these 'clan princes' who can't stay in Chang'an and don't care about the feudal country······
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall only changed color in unison;
Hundreds of eyes instantly converged on Liu Sheng's right side, and sat next to each other on the left and right of the Marquis of Xixi.
- Today, it is the Shuowang Dynasty;
Unlike the regular dynasty, which was held once every five days and only courtiers and officials could participate, the Shuowang Dynasty allowed the Marquis of Che to attend.
And Uncle Tian's words were undoubtedly a very loud slap in the face of these second and third generations who were unwilling to leave in Chang'an and did not mix with the official position······
"Humph!"
"This Tian Ziqing, there is no one in his eyes!"
"Isn't it just an internal history?"
"What's the big deal!"
In his heart, on the surface, the Marquis also lowered his head very knowingly, just as if nothing had happened just now, and Uncle Tian had not said anything.
——In Guanzhong, the voice of internal history is second only to the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven, and the Prime Minister.
Even in some specific circumstances, the voice of internal history in Guanzhong is not even smaller than that of the prime minister!
What is obvious is that for these second and third generations who rely on Chang'an and seek an opportunity to vacate Jiuqing, Neishi, the 'Emperor of Guanzhongtu', must not be offended.
Even a moment ago, this Earth Emperor had just slapped the big guy in the face······
"I understand the meaning of the internal history."
···
"That's right;"
"What does the prince think?"
"——Does the prince also think: Hejian, Jiangdu and other kings have stayed in Chang'an for too long?"
Seeing that the old man finally got himself, even if Liu Sheng was reluctant, he had to stand up in a proper manner.
Bowed to the Son of Heaven, turned around, and bowed to the inner ring of the hall, Liu Shengcai looked up with a natural expression, and bowed to the Son of Heaven again.
"Father."
"If the retainers are reluctant to give up their brothers, then of course the retainers are reluctant;"
"In this short period of more than a month, for the siblings who are scattered all over the world and have not seen each other for many years, it is by no means enough to describe the feelings of longing."
"Furthermore: all the brothers were crowned kings, but their biological mothers all stayed in Chang'an without exception."
"As a junior, even if he is the son of the eldest prince, I hope that my brothers can see their mother more and stay for a while."
···
"But;"
"What Neishi said is not unreasonable."
"——The princes and kings can only stay for a month at most when they enter Chang'an, which is a rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao."
"As the heir of the descendant, if you don't even follow the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao, it will be equivalent to turning your back on my Liu family;"
"If you don't lead by example, my Han family will govern the country with filial piety, and it will become an empty talk from now on······"
Without pretentiousness, Liu Sheng said these words with an extremely natural expression, and Liu Sheng still did not forget to give his hand to the Son of Heaven again;
But then, Liu Sheng did not return to his seat.
Because Liu Sheng obviously felt that today's Shuowang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven, seemed to be very eager to let Liu Sheng participate in it from beginning to end······
"Hmm······"
"Okay."
"Since the prince has said so, if I force me to stay, it will be for my own selfishness and destruction of the national law."
"Let's draw up an edict."
"With the kings of Linjiang, Hejian, Jiangdu and so on, pack up immediately, set off in a few days, and leave Beijing to go to the country."
"-Your Majesty Shengming~"
···
"After the internal history, it's Zongzheng, right?"
"What did Zongzheng say?"
"Oh······"
"Let the king of Jiaoxi become a vassal, and then discuss with the queen mother, and give the old seven kings ······"
After deciding that 'the kings left Beijing to become vassals', the Son of Heaven naturally led the topic to the second topic today.
Only this time, Tianziqi directly threw the problem to Liu Sheng.
"What does the prince think?"
"According to the prince's opinion, the king of Jiaoxi is only five years old, should I endure the pain and issue an edict to let my five-year-old son leave his mother and go to the distant land of Qi to become a vassal?"
"There is also the seventh son of the emperor, who has not been crowned king so far, because I and the queen mother have other considerations;"
"Now, has even this matter reached the point where it can no longer be postponed and must be put on the agenda???
With a definite answer, these two questions were issued quite playfully, and Tianzi Qi smiled and raised his head;
But for some reason: just in an instant, Tianzi Qi, who was still a little playful, was worried about Liu Sheng in his heart!
It was as if he was worried that Liu Sheng's answer would disappoint him;
Or Liu Sheng's answer failed to meet his expectations.
"Really enlightened?"
"It's better to force the cow's head to drink water, forcing yourself to pretend to be decisive and resolute······"
