Abolishing the funeral system is not an easy task and requires the support and approval of the ministers. Xi Yu knew this very well, and he decided to summon Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu to discuss the matter with them.

Early the next morning, Xi Yu summoned Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu in the room.

The room was filled with the faint fragrance of tea, and Xi Yu sat at the desk with a serious expression.

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu walked in together, and when they saw Xi Yu's face, a trace of uneasiness swelled in their hearts.

"Meet the Prime Minister." Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu said in unison.

Xi Yu nodded and said, "Please be seated." ”

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu sat down and waited for Xi Yu to speak.

"I summoned you today because I have an important matter to discuss with you, of course, this is a polite statement, but in fact I am telling you one thing." Xi Yu said.

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and they both felt the seriousness of the play.

"Prime Minister, please speak." Zhuge Liang said.

Xi Yu took a deep breath and said, "I have decided to abolish the funeral system. ”

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu were taken aback, they didn't expect Xi Yu to come up with such an idea.

"Your Majesty, the funeral system is a rule left by the ancestors, how can it be said that it will be abolished?" Zhuge Liang said.

"I know that the funeral system has been around for a long time, but this system is too cruel and inhumane. I can't let innocent lives die. ”

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, the funeral system is to maintain the dignity and honor of the royal family, and also to appease the soul of the deceased. If the funeral system is abolished, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction and disgust among everyone. ”

"I know there will be a lot of pressure and difficulty in abolishing the funeral system, but it's the right thing to do, and I have to do it," Xi said. And, I'm sure many people will understand and support it. ”

Moreover, Xi Yu believes that if you want to oppose it, the rich will oppose it, and the poor will definitely agree with it.

After that, Xi Yu talked about the case that Wen Xuan said.

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu fell into deep thought, they knew that Xi Yu's decision was made out of justice and conscience, but abolishing the funeral system was indeed a very tricky matter.

"Prime Minister, this matter is very involved and needs to be considered carefully." Zhuge Liang said.

Xi Yu nodded and said, "I know." Therefore, I would like to ask the two Aiqing to help me come up with ideas on how to successfully abolish the funeral system. ”

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu glanced at each other and nodded.

"Prime Minister, we can start with propaganda and education to let everyone know about the cruelty and inhumanity of the funeral system. At the same time, we can also develop incentives and penalties to encourage our subjects to support the abolition of the burial system. Zhuge Liang said.

He thought to himself, anyway, he couldn't object to Xi Yu, so he could only give Xi Yu an idea.

Xi Yu nodded and said, "That's a good idea. We can start with publicity and education to make everyone aware of the disadvantages of the funeral system. ”

As a result, Xi Yu began to publicize and educate about the abolition of the funeral system.

He issued a series of proclamations to publicize the cruelty and inhumanity of the funeral system.

At the same time, he instituted incentives and penalties to encourage support for the abolition of the funeral system.

In the tavern, there was a lot of noise and smoke. A group of poor people sat around a table and talked about the recent announcement abolishing the funeral system.

"Have you heard? The prime minister issued an announcement to abolish the funeral system! An old man in shabby clothes said.

"Really? That's great! My daughter won't have to be dragged to the funeral anymore! A young mother said excitedly.

"But the rich people will not be happy, they will do everything they can to oppose it." A middle-aged man said worriedly.

"Yes, they will definitely feel that their interests have been violated." Another old man said.

"No matter what they think, we, the poor, should support the Prime Minister's decision. The system of burial is too cruel for us to allow innocent lives to be persecuted anymore. The young mother said.

On the street, the crowd is bustling and the traffic is busy. A group of wealthy people gathered around to talk about the recent announcement abolishing the funeral system.

"The prime minister wants to abolish the funeral system!" Said a rich man in gorgeous clothes.

"What? How does this work? The funeral system is a rule left by the ancestors, how can it be said that it will be abolished? Another rich man said.

"Yes, isn't that a violation of our interests?"

"No, we have to find a way to oppose this decision."

"Yes, we will join other rich people in opposing it!"

"But will this cause the prime minister's disgust?"

"We want to let the poor know that if the funeral system is abolished, I am afraid that it will cause chaos in the world." The ninth rich man said.

People in the taverns and on the streets were talking about the proclamation of the abolition of the funeral system.

The poor praised the decision as a just thing, while the rich were shocked and outraged, believing that their interests had been violated.

Half an hour later, a group of wealthy people gathered at the door of Xi Yu's house.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking anxious, they knelt on the ground one after another and petitioned Xi Yu.

"Prime Minister, please retract your order and don't abolish the funeral system!" A rich man said.

"Yes, Prime Minister, the funeral system is a rule left by the ancestors, and it can't be abolished!" Another rich man said.

"Prime Minister, abolishing the funeral system will cause chaos in the world!" Another rich man said.

Soon, Xi Yu stood at the door, looking at the scene in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion.

He knew that the abolition of the funeral system was a difficult reform that would meet with a lot of resistance and opposition. However, he is also convinced that this reform is the right one.

Xi Yu said: "I can understand your feelings. The funeral system is a rule left by our ancestors, but this rule is no longer suitable for today. We can no longer allow innocent lives to die for me. ”

The rich man said, "Prime Minister, you can't do this! We're going to lose a lot of money! Do you really want to do that? ”

Xi Yu said: "That's right, I've made up my mind. ”

Just as Xi Yu was discussing with the ministers, Wen Xuan rode a horse and galloped over.

She stopped in front of Xi Yu out of breath, and before she could get off the horse, she couldn't wait to ask, "Prime Minister, do you really plan to abolish the funeral system?" ”

Xi Yu smiled and nodded, and said to Wen Xuan, "That's right, this is my decision after careful consideration. ”

Wen Xuan excitedly jumped off his horse and ran to Xi Yu's side.

With a glint of joy in her eyes, she said, "I knew you would!" ”

Xi Yu looked at Wen Xuan gently.

Wen Xuan immediately turned to face the rich man and reprimanded, "You rich people are simply too greedy and selfish! You only care about your own interests, and you don't think about the poor at all! ”

Xi Yu saw Wen Xuan's reaction, and was secretly relieved in his heart.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered on the street.

And Wen Xuan told all the tragic things he saw that day.

At this time, many poor people have quietly wiped away their tears.

There was an old man who cried on the spot.

He said that his granddaughter worked as a maid in a rich man's house.

When the rich man died, he also asked his granddaughter to accompany him to the funeral.

So if Xi Yu abolished this system at this time, what a good thing it would be.

Everyone will be grateful to Xi Yu.

As a result, many poor people resolutely supported Xi Yu's plan.

Xi Yu saw a few rich people.

"Do you have anything else to say at this point?"

The rich people were ashamed.

Wen Xuan sneered.

"You still come to petition, I don't know how shameful it is."

The rich people left in disgrace.

And many players burst into warm applause.

Xi Yu said: "Thank you for your support, there will be a formal legal text soon." ”

If anyone is practicing the funeral system, they will be sentenced directly.

Slowly everyone dispersed, and when Xi Yu was walking inside, he felt a footstep coming from behind, and he knew that it was Wen Xuan.

He turned his head and found that it was indeed Wen Xuan.

Wen Xuan gave him a thumbs up.

"You've done just a fantastic job."

"Okay, isn't it all because of your encouragement? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind. Is there anything else you can do? ”

"What's wrong? Aren't you welcome me to come to your house? ”

"Of course it doesn't mean that."

Liu Xie was reading a book in the room, and suddenly heard the hustle and bustle outside, so he asked people to see what was going on.

After a while, a few of the men returned.

told him that it was Xi Yu who wanted to abolish the funeral system, which caused dissatisfaction among many wealthy people.

"What? To abolish the funeral system"?

Liu Xie's eyes were very big, and his mouth was also very wide.

He felt that Xi Yu was too bold.

So he asked the soldier to call Xi Yu, and he wanted to have a good talk with Xi Yu.

However, a few soldiers didn't take a few steps, and Liu Xie said, "Wait a minute, you guys come back." ”

A few soldiers returned immediately.

"Stand down, all of you."

Only then did Liu Xie realize that he was no longer an official emperor.

gave all the power to Xi Yu, so why did he still interfere?

Xi Yu didn't come to tell himself, but he was actually right.

But despite this self-comfort, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

And he also opposed the abolition of the funeral system by Xi Yu.

Xi Yu immediately summoned Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu again.

"According to the abolition of the funeral system this time, you will improve the law by the way."

Xi Yu thinks that some of the laws of the Han Dynasty need to be changed, and he needs to add some new elements.

He gave a rough idea of a framework, and finally let the two of them go about it.

A few days later, the formal law was introduced.

And the abolition of the legal system is also written in the law.

Not only in Youzhou, but also in the whole country.

The news soon spread to Fang Jun and Wu Huan.

Liu Bei and Meng Shu also immediately began to execute.

Before the abolition of the funeral system, several wealthy people were still trying to tell Liu Xie to make Liu Xie oppose Xi Yu.

However, their ideas were very naïve, because it was impossible for them to meet Liu Xie.

And Liu Xie is no longer concerned about the world.

Next, Xi Yu began to work to let people check the auspicious days of the zodiac.

It turned out that five days later was the auspicious day of the zodiac.

This day is perfect for relocation.

So, Xi Yu asked Liu Xie to move to that manor.

And Xi Yu has already prepared a lot of subordinates for Liu Xie.

Some of the little eunuchs and palace maids in the original advance palace also arrived.

Most of them are still in the same team, but in a different environment.

And Su Yu also moved out.

He also had a small house in the county seat, so he went there for the time being.

After Liu Xie moved away, many people were talking about it.

"Your Majesty was moved to a place alone, do you say it's a good thing or a bad thing"?

"How do I feel as if the prime minister is deliberately isolating His Majesty."

"That's what I said, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers."

"Hey, what are you talking about, it's not appropriate for Your Majesty to live in the prime minister's house all the time. You should go out and stay alone. ”

"That's it, besides, Your Majesty has already said that the prime minister must be in charge of all major matters."

At this moment, some patrolling soldiers passed by the side of the road and heard the talk of these people.

"What are you talking about here, aren't you afraid of killing your head?" The soldier said.

At this time, those who were talking about it were so frightened that they quickly avoided it.

Turning around, the patrolling soldiers reported the incident to Xi Yu.

However, Xi Yu smiled.

Because it's so normal for people to talk like this.

"If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you don't have to stop them, just let them talk about it."

Several soldiers were dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that Xi Yu's temper was so good.

But they immediately understood that Xi Yu did not do anything with a disturbing conscience, so he was not afraid of other people's discussions.

And Xi Yu thinks that it is a good thing for Liu Xie to live alone in one place, and he always lives in his own home, which is actually very embarrassing.

Suddenly, Xi Yu remembered Cao Pi, and I don't know if he would be particularly embarrassed in the barracks.

On this day, he decided to meet Cao Pi.

Cao Pi sat in the tent, his face pale and his eyes weak. He held a wine glass in his hand, and took a sip from time to time, as if he wanted to use it to kill his sorrows.

Xi Yu walked into the camp tent and saw Cao Pi's appearance, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

"Are you okay?" Xi Yu asked softly.

Cao Pi raised his head and glanced at Xi Yu coldly, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a disdainful smile.

"Hmph, what are you doing here? Come and see my jokes? Cao Pi sneered.

Xi Yu sighed and said, "I'm not here to see your jokes. I just wanted to talk to you. ”

Cao Pi put down his wine glass and said, "Talk? What do you want to talk about? What else is there to talk about between us? ”

Xi Yu said: "You should be very clear about the current situation. There is no way back for you. ”

Cao Pi said: "A way out? I never thought of a way out. I'm not going to surrender. ”

Xi Yu said: "Why are you so persistent? Now you are a loser. ”

Cao Pi said: "Hmph, so what? Even if I lose this war, I will not surrender. I can die, but I won't give in to you. ”

Xi Yu said: "Why are you doing this? Surrender is not a shameful thing. ”

Cao Pi said: "You don't need to say it anymore. I've decided. I will not surrender and I will not give up. You can kill me, but you can't conquer my heart. ”

Seeing Cao Pi so firm, Xi Yu couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart.

But he immediately set a date for Cao Pi.

"I'll give you ten days, if you can surrender within ten days, it's best, if you still can't, I can only get rid of you."

After Xi Yu said this, Cao Pi looked at him viciously.

"Why wait ten days, you can get rid of me now, and it will be like this in ten days."

But Xi Yu didn't speak, but walked out.

Many soldiers began to talk about it.

"The prime minister is simply too good-tempered, and he won't kill Cao Pi?"

"yes, it's a waste of food."

Cao Pi heard the discussion outside, and remembered his past.

He felt deeply humiliated.

I didn't expect to lose so much overnight.

He was not reconciled, but what could he do?

He also thought about dying, but he never had the courage.

But at the same time, he also wondered, Xi Yu let himself surrender, not to mention that he was unwilling, even if he was willing, could Xi Yu rest assured?

Xi Yu should understand that he doesn't have the same heart as him.

So in this case, why does he have to entrap himself?

Forget it, don't think about it so much, he still has to hurry up and compose poetry.

He didn't notice at all that a poem he made had been taken away by Xi Yushun.

Just now, Xi Yu saw that a poem was good, so he quickly put the paper away.

When Xi Yu was walking on the road, he read Cao Pi's poems.

Cao Pi described how he felt after becoming a prisoner.

"It's really worthy of being one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and the poems he writes are really good."

Although Xi Yu has never read this poem, he still gave it a high evaluation.

If you let yourself write, you won't be able to write it.

After an hour, Cao Pi prepared to sort out the poems he wrote today.

Suddenly, he noticed that a poem was missing.

What's going on?

And no one else came, and he suddenly remembered Xi Yu.

Could it be that Xi Yu took it away by the way?

He carefully recalled the details one by one.

When Xi Yu left, it seemed that a piece of paper had fallen on his feet.

Yes, it must be like that.

Cao Pi was very angry and clenched his fists.

This is all his hard work, and he doesn't want his voice to be seen by Xi Yu.

After returning home, Xi Yu was still reading that poem, and he especially appreciated it.

Suddenly, Ouyang Linlin appeared at the door.

Ouyang Linlin was passing by here and was stunned when she saw Xi Yu, so she walked in.

"Husband, what are you looking at so fascinating"?

"This is a poem by Cao Pi, how do you look at it"?

Ouyang Linlin took it.

After all, she has also been literate and hyphenated since she was a child, and she has a certain level of appreciation.

She also kept sighing.

"It's a really good poem. Write all your anguish. ”

In the end, she watched the drama.

"He's your enemy, and you're going to like him so much?"

"Of course, this is also an opponent in my heart."

"Are you going to persuade Xiang again? Surely he won't surrender either, right? ”

Xi Yu nodded.

"I gave him ten days, and if he didn't surrender after ten days, I had to kill him." (End of chapter)
