Chapter 310: Today I slapped my middle father in the face, how to deal with the aftermath? (Ask for subscription)
The Son of Heaven personally presided over the matter of the county's accounting and reporting, which had never happened in the Han Dynasty.
But at the end of the day, it's not a taboo either.
Under the world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.
The whole world belongs to the Son of Heaven, what does the Son of Heaven want to do?
What's more, the Son of Heaven did not want to build a wine pond and meat forest like the King of Shang - on the contrary, the Son of Heaven was to do a laborious thing.
The rank of these county officials standing in the courtyard is not high, and the rank of Changshi and Shou Xiangcheng is generally higher than 1,000 stone or 600 stone.
Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only look at each other and be silent.
I know you don't dare to settle down, that's why I'll ask you, so I'll make that decision.
"Okay, since the secretaries have no objections now, the matter is settled."
"But I still have to get a good grasp of what is going on here, and it may take some more time."
"Zhongqing don't have to be anxious, first copy the scriptures in this Taixue, and feel the true meaning of the sages of the past dynasties."
"Within five days, I will restart the county's accounting and reporting, and this specific place is here."
"In this way, it may be delayed for some time, and the secretary can write a letter and send someone back to his county."
"On the one hand, you can report safety to your relatives and friends, and on the other hand, you can also tell the ministers of the counties about it, so that they can be at ease."
The Son of Heaven spoke slowly and clearly, so even the slowest response of the Governor had already understood the deep meaning.
Where is this for them to write back to report their safety, obviously to ask them to inform the minister of the county and the country of one thing - there is only one sun above the head of this big man, and this sun is the Son of Heaven.
Combined with the various rumors and movements in Chang'an City in the past few days, the officials present vaguely guessed something.
Is this Chang'an and the Han Dynasty going to change the sky, the general's clouds, I'm afraid they won't be able to cover the sun of the Son of Heaven.
"Did you understand what I just said?" Liu He asked with a smile.
"No!" Naturally, no one dared to raise any objections.
"In addition, when the report is submitted, I will ask you a question, and I hope that the secretary can write it down so as not to make any mistakes."
"This question is also very simple, that is, all the ministers have to think about what they have to do in order to be regarded as loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty."
There is no fixed answer to this question, but there are many interesting things to be learned from it.
And the most important thing is to make it clear how to be this loyal minister - go with the Son of Heaven or with the general.
"Okay, Zhongqing still has to copy the book today, I won't delay your time, you can get busy first."
"No!"
Without any further hesitation, the group of reckoning officials gradually dispersed from the courtyard.
When the last person left, Liu He turned to Wang Shi, who had been smiling and silent, and asked a question.
"Wang Fu, what do you think of my arrangement?"
"Your Majesty is talking about giving Confucius the title of honor and the title of marquis, or do you want to personally preside over the affairs of the counties and states?" Wang Shi also asked with a smile.
"I want to hear Wang Fu's opinion on both things." Liu He asked.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the old man is just a small Taixue Ling, how dare he judge himself?"
When Wang Shi said these words, it didn't seem to be contrived, but more like true feelings.
"What if I have to say something?"
"Envy and power, thunder means, surprise, attack unprepared......" Wang Shi thought for a while before then continued, "What Your Majesty has done is a justifiable royal road, with the demeanor of a Ming Jun." ”
"It seems that I can't hold this crazy character?" Liu He asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty has made such a big move, do you still want to use the word madness to vaguely pass the past, no matter how arrogant the general is, he is not an idiot, and he will not be deceived by His Majesty." Wang Shi completely shattered Liu He's only luck.
Today's hours are the hours of Liu He's "quick success".
He had grabbed much more than he had in the previous months, or even in the years before him.
However, there is no doubt that it is no longer possible for him to disguise himself as a harmless deranged person in front of Huo Guang.
The struggle in the court is so fast-moving.
On that day, when Liu He decided to let Cai Yi attack Huo Guang in the court, he only wanted to weaken Huo Guang's power.
Where did you think of it, stumbling for several days in a row, and it actually reached the point where you want to directly seize power from Huo Guang.
The soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover the soil - I didn't expect this soil to be built into a peakless peak unconsciously.
Liu He couldn't guess what Huo Guang would do next.
Although he has achieved some victories at this moment, he cannot take it lightly and has to prepare for the next battle.
"Wang Fu, what do you think I will do next?" Liu He asked.
"Your Majesty has now forced Huo Guang to a dead end, what does Your Majesty want to do?"
"Wai San is missing one, I'm afraid I still have to give my middle father a way to live for the time being."
Because, Huo Guang still has one last weapon in his hand, that is, the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion is related to the hundreds of thousands of Han troops who are out on the march.
The morale of the army must not be disturbed, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe.
It's okay to fight in the court, but you must not let the good men of the Han family who go out on the expedition die in their hometowns. At this point, Liu He and Huo Guang actually reached a unity in silence.
"Does Your Majesty really want to do this?" Wang Shi asked.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty is not afraid that the Han army will return with victory, and the general will follow Yi Yin's example of releasing Taijia?" Wang Shi asked.
"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that hundreds of thousands of good men of the Han army will go to Mobei and ...... return."
"And I firmly believe that there are many loyal people in the Han army, and they may not obey the order."
"I've got some back-ups, too." Liu He said.
"Your Majesty has already thought it through, let's let it go, the old minister is a rotten Confucian and doesn't understand military affairs, so he won't point fingers."
When Wang Shi said these words, there was more of a smug expression on his face. If you have the opportunity to teach a Ming Jun like the Son of Heaven, then of course you should be proud.
At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew, causing the ancient trees in the courtyard to sway, making a tooth-sour sound again.
And in the midst of this, it seems to be mixed with the vague sound of reading. Listen intently, it's coming from the backyard.
"Zi said: The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition......"
This is a sentence from the Analects, which teaches people to have some ambition and perseverance.
If the ambition of the puppet cannot be changed, how can the ambition of the Son of Heaven be changed?
"Wang Fu, I originally had a few words I wanted to say to the doctoral disciples, but now that they are studying, I won't bother them, and I hope Wang Fu will convey them on my behalf."
"The old minister's order."
"Let the doctoral disciples think about it, what is this study for?"
"What does Your Majesty think it is for?"
"Reading for the Rise of the Great Han." Liu He said categorically.
"The old minister understands."
Liu He listened to the sound of reading again, and then finally planned to leave.
Today, he turned this Chang'an City upside down, not only tossed the Huo Party enough, but he was also exhausted.
At this time, the sun was already above the horizon, and it was about to set down the mountain.
It's time to go back to the palace, and if it's any later, it may not be safe on the road.
"Wang Fu, I have returned to the palace."
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Wang Shi hurriedly saluted.
Liu He nodded, ready to walk outside the courtyard, but as soon as he reached the courtyard, he stopped.
"Wang Fu, I still have something to say."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"During this time, let the doctoral disciples read more "Mencius", and they can better cultivate Haoran righteousness."
"No!"
With that, Liu He strode out of the gate of Taixue, and gradually blurred his figure in the blood-colored sunset.
Looking at the smaller and smaller silhouettes, Wang Shi suddenly felt that the Son of Heaven seemed to have grown a lot taller in the past few months, and his heart was more stable.
And the childlike boyish atmosphere is a little less.
But it doesn't matter, when you are a Ming Jun, the least important thing is that pure heart.
If you lose it, you lose it.
Decisive killing, grace and power, and lack of grace......
These are the most important things, and the Son of Heaven learns quickly, which makes Wang Shi happy.
Wang Shi also looked up at the burning clouds in the sky, looking like fire, but cold and ruthless.
There hasn't been any blood today, but that's not the case later.
Whether you want to or not, the Son of Heaven is always going to kill.
Wang Shi had some dizziness and palpitations, he didn't dare to look more, but hurried to the backyard.
Today, I want the disciples of the Doctor to read Mencius.
And so a busy day passed.
The three important government offices of the Prime Minister's Office, Dasi Nong and Taichang Temple were all reopened.
The three important government offices of the Prime Minister's Office, Dasi Nong and Taichang Temple were all reopened.
Today, seventy or eighty percent of the subordinate officials have returned to the government office, and I believe that by tomorrow, the remaining people will also return to the government office one after another.
I'm afraid that except for Ren Gong and Le Cheng, everyone will be a little more diligent than usual.
Prime Minister Ren Gong and Taichang Lecheng were told by the Son of Heaven for three months, and there was "no need" to interfere in political affairs - these two government offices, with the second official of Zuo, were enough to deal with.
For the time being, they are all dispensable "decorations".
In the next three months, these two "Three Princes and Nine Secretaries" either obediently came to the Son of Heaven to bow their heads, or they kept consuming, and finally waited for a result of losing their officials.
Other than that, there is no other way out.
Yu Lin Lang and Chang Yi Lang, who were sent to these two government offices, have already withdrawn, but Ren Gong and they dare not have other repetitions.
Because this move is enough to prove that under the thunderous means of the Son of Heaven, they have no power to fight back.
Once he takes the lead to obstruct the affairs of the second official, the Lang Wei of the Son of Heaven can appear at any time......
At that time, it is not just as simple as being frightened, it is more likely that blood will be splattered on the spot.
Under the effect of the Five Edicts and the Son of Heaven patrolling Chang'an, the situation in Chang'an City was temporarily stabilized.
……
At that time, in the greenhouse hall, Liu He, who had been running around in Chang'an City for a day, finally washed away the dust and sat alone in front of the desk.
Fan Ke, the little attendant, had just come in and told him that Shaofu Bingji and Guangluxun Zhang Anshi were waiting outside the door to face the saint.
Liu He was not in a hurry to see them, he had to sort out his thoughts first.
It is the best way to use a pen to write down what you have lost on a piece of paper and check them one by one.
Now that there is cheap rice paper, there is no need to save.
……
Today's move, for Liu He, actually has advantages and disadvantages.
There are five points.
First, several government offices were temporarily restored to normal, avoiding the chaos that might be caused by the dismissal.
The second is to confirm the authority of the "righteousness" of the Son of Heaven, and the result is satisfactory, which gives Liu He a lot of confidence.
The third is to beat the local county officials by meddling in the affairs reported by the county and the state.
Fourth, by giving Confucius a nickname and making him a marquis, he eased the tension between himself and Confucianism and prevented Confucianism from being used by Huo Guang.
Fifth, we tried out the reality of the general. Now it seems that before the army of the Xiongnu returns to Han, he cannot use force to resist the authority of the Son of Heaven.
However, for everything that is good there must be a disadvantage. This is an eternal truth.
Among them, the biggest drawback is that Liu He can no longer "pretend to be crazy and stupid" in front of Huo Guang.
Huo Guang's vigilance against him is afraid that it will become stronger and stronger, and it will not be so simple to rely on "madness" to do something in the future.
In the past few months, Huo Guang has no strength in his hands to challenge the authority of the Son of Heaven. But three months later, when the army returns, it will make waves in the court.
At that time, without the cover of "madness", Huo Guang will definitely use all means to fight Liu He.
Although Liu He already has some coping strategies, he is not completely sure.
He looked at the words "five benefits and one harm" written on the paper again, and called Fan Ke, who was standing on the side, over.
"You go to the side hall and call Bingji and Zhang Anshi who are waiting."
"No."
Soon, Bingji and Zhang Anshi, who also had tired faces, came to the palace.
The three of them sat down against each other.
"The two Aiqing have also worked hard today." Liu He said with a smile.
"This is the duty of the ministers, and Your Majesty is really too hard today." Bingji said.
"Whether it's me or the two Aiqing, or other people, today's hard work is worth it, at least we have stabilized the situation in Chang'an City and not let this huge Chang'an City become chaotic."
Liu He thought about it, and then he smiled.
"However, in the face of today's situation, I am afraid that the middle father will be disappointed."
Huo Guang's hole cards were exhausted, but they were quickly resolved by the Son of Heaven within one day, not only disappointed, but also angry.
"Come, two Aiqing, let's take a look at the conclusion I made for today's matter."
Bingji and Zhang Anshi carefully took the pieces of paper from the Son of Heaven and read them carefully.
From beginning to end, the Son of Heaven used simple words and sentences to sort out today's events extremely completely, without any omissions.
The pros and cons are also analyzed in a straightforward way, which is refreshing.
The so-called thoughtfulness is nothing more than that.
"Two Aiqing, have you finished reading?" Liu He asked.
"After reading it, Your Majesty has no secrets, which really makes Weichen admire." Bingji said sincerely.
"Wechen thinks so too." Zhang Anshi echoed.
"The flattery of the two Aiqing made me very happy, although I want to be Mingjun, but when I hear this flattery, I am still overjoyed, it seems that Mingjun is not good."
Liu He has always laughed, but this smile is completely different from the smile he smiled at Tian Yannian when he was in Dasi Nong.
The former is as cold as frost, and now it is as warm as charcoal.
So Bingji and Zhang Anshi also laughed.
Although today's Son of Heaven has a bit of the shadow of Emperor Xiaowu, it is still far from Emperor Xiaowu's uncertain and dislike appearance in his later years.
Otherwise, they would not dare to relax like this at the moment.
"This first confrontation between me and my middle father, even if it is finished on the surface, there are still a lot of things to deal with, and one of them cannot be delayed."
"What Your Majesty said is the matter of the calculations and reports of the counties?" Bingji asked.
"It's this matter, although I have already let the word out, and I want to take care of this matter myself......"
"But in fact, I don't know much about the details, so I'm afraid I can only make a name, and I need a competent courtier to deal with it."
The Son of Heaven supervises and naturally can bluff people; But there still have to be people to do the specifics.
It stands to reason that Bingji and Bingji are the most suitable candidates, but one of them has to sit in the Shangshu Department, and the other has to command the guards of Weiyang Palace.
It's hard to get out.
As for Wang Ji, his qualifications are too shallow; And Gong Sui, the rank is too low.
Bingji and Zhang Anshi recommended several courtiers in a row, but Liu He was not particularly satisfied.
Among these courtiers, many of them met the requirements in terms of qualifications and ranks, but they may lack some skill and courage.
In these turbulent times, it is necessary to have an iron wrist to cope with possible changes.
This is the first time that Liu He has directly intervened in the local county's upper accounting and reporting, and it must be done beautifully.
It's a pity that the few people who were recruited in the first two months have not yet come, otherwise they would not have been so stretched.
However, calculating the time, they should also be almost there.
"That's it, there are still a few days to delay this matter, and the two Aiqing will think about it after they go back and see if there is a more suitable candidate."
"No."
In the end, someone can always be found to deal with the things reported by the county, but it is just how appropriate it is, so it is not something that needs to be faced immediately.
Now, what Liu He wants to know most is what Huo Guang will do next.
"Two Aiqing, the most important thing I want to say today is still related to the middle father, I want to ask the two Aiqing, what do you think the middle father will do next."
What will Huo Guang do.
This is a question that all the "imperial parties", including the Son of Heaven, are pondering.
From their point of view, Huo Guang has no chess to move now, but because of this, they are even more nervous - the general is different from ordinary people, will he suffer this loss?
In any case, Huo Guang's mind and courage cannot be underestimated.
There was silence for a while, and neither Bingji nor Zhang Anshi spoke.
"The two Aiqing don't have to worry too much, there are no outsiders in this greenhouse hall, you just have something to say." Liu He said.
"Back to Your Majesty, the general has already lost in the court, and if he wants to win, I'm afraid he will have to rely on the strength of those Huo parties in the Han army."
Zhang Anshi is a military general, and it seems that he is quite concerned about this matter, and he must have been thinking about it for a long time.
Zhang Qing continued.
"Wechen is worried that the general will take risks and do bad things."
"Although now, the general does not have the troops in his hands to do this, but when the Han army returns to Han, he will definitely do such a bad thing."
"It's just that it's just a matter of time sooner or later, Your Majesty must make a plan as soon as possible."
Huo Guang used the Han army to threaten the Son of Heaven, which was almost inevitable. Liu He naturally had to prepare a strategy to deal with it in advance, otherwise he would be waiting for death at that time.
The offensive and defensive forces are also different.
Liu He suddenly found that he seemed to be in the same embarrassment that Huo Guang had faced.
