Humane Yongchang

Chapter 477

Chen Sheng returned to the palace.

Although the court meeting was not held immediately to meet the ministers.

But when he came back, the floating weather in Jinling also stabilized.

This feeling of world difference sounds mysterious but it is real.

Every day when Chen Sheng was not in Jinling, from Jinling to court ministers and down to traffickers and pawns, they always felt uneasy and inexplicably flustered, just like a small sampan floating on the ocean, and could be buried in the Under the turbulent waves, in such an inexplicable and panic environment, even if you have the ability to think independently, you will still be coerced by the environment.

And as long as Chen Shengren is in Jinling, even if he is lazy in the harem, neither going to court nor showing his face, the people of Jinling will feel inexplicably at ease in their hearts. It's like someone in the middle of the court, there is a backer behind him, he walks with a "bang bang" sound, and he doesn't wake up when thunder strikes in the middle of the night, and he can even eat a few extra bowls of corn and rice for him!
……

The ninth day of October.

Chen Sheng convened a court meeting, summoned civil and military officials, and officially announced the success of the Northern Expedition strategy and the great news of the unification of Kyushu. He also asked Fan Zeng to choose an auspicious day for the founding ceremony as soon as possible, and announced to the world the news that the Han Dynasty inherited the Zhengshuo of China and the orthodoxy of Kyushu!
After Fan Zeng took the order, he strongly advised Chen Shengyu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor at the founding ceremony, exercising the power of the emperor in a legitimate manner.

The ministers seconded it.

Chen Sheng readily agreed, and entrusted Fan Zeng to supervise matters related to the enthronement ceremony.

After the major event of unification was announced, Li Si came out and presented the system of three provinces and six ministries in court for Chen Sheng to review.

Chen Sheng has a very good memory. He just glanced at the "List of Hundred Officials in the Six Departments of the Three Provinces of the Great Han Dynasty (revised to the third)" submitted by Li Si, and immediately found that this version was the same as the one he sent back for re-examination. A few innocuous little officials were mobilized, the ministers of various provinces and ministers, and the positions of six ministers, none of them were moved!
Looking at this list, Chen Sheng was both happy and angry!
Looking at this matter on the bright side, it means that the candidates for the chief officials of each yamen, Li Si did think twice and choose the best configuration without options.

From a bad point of view, Li Si ignored his hint, which meant that he and Han Fei's intention to resign was decided!

That's right, no matter whether it was the previous "revision [-]" version or the current "revision [-]" version, the names of Li Si and Han Fei, the brothers and sisters, were not on the list of the chief officials of each yamen.

The two prime ministers on the left and right of the majestic man, the two mainstays who are more important than the Sangong, their names actually appear in a bunch of insignificant servants of the three provinces!

Chen Sheng closed the list, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said kindly: "Li Gong, can you think about this list?"

Li Si did not hesitate to squeeze his palms to the end, and said in a loud voice with sincerity: "Return to Your Majesty, this list is the work of the old minister's hard work and meditation. It is an embarrassing task, Your Majesty, please choose another wise person to take on the important task!"

Hearing this, Chen Sheng became more and more annoyed.

Playing dumb, right?

It's bad, right?

He stared at Li Si with wide eyes, but Li Si tried his best to lower his head so as not to meet his gaze.

He looked at Han Fei on the other side angrily again... Excuse me, Han Fei can't see!

After pondering for a while, he said decisively: "Let me think about this matter for a while, and discuss it tomorrow, but there are still important things to start, so let's go to work if there is nothing else to do!"

When His Highness and his ministers heard the meaning of his words, no one would dare to bother him with those matters that were neither important nor urgent. They all held their wat boards, their eyebrows and eyes lowered, and they were harmless to humans and animals.

Seeing this, Meng Yi hurriedly said in a long voice, "Retire without incident!"

The lower hem of the officials: "Respectfully send off my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Chen Sheng picked up the directory on the case table and put it in his big sleeve, flicked his big sleeve with displeasure, turned around and left!
After Chen Sheng's footsteps gradually faded away, a group of civil and military officials of His Highness slowly stood up, and looked playfully at Li Si who was still in the center of the hall... They had never seen the list, but as long as their eyes were not blind , it can be seen that the king is clearly dissatisfied with that list!

The king has made it clear that he is not satisfied with that list, and you Li Si still refuse to modify it. What do you Li Si want to do?
All of a sudden, Li Si, who used to be surrounded by a large group of officials chatting, laughing and hugging, was like a plague god today, everyone turned their faces away and couldn't avoid it!
Of course Li Si noticed the strangeness in their eyes.

But he didn't say anything, just stood at the end of the crowd with downcast eyes.

On the contrary, Fan Zeng lingered and stayed until the end, when there were not many people around, he came to Li Si's side and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Li, did you revise that list later? "

At the beginning, Li Si "threatened" him to join the preparatory work for negotiating the Three Provinces and Six Departments System with the matter of helping to raise food and grass. Of course, he had seen the list.

Based on his understanding of his king, even if the king is not satisfied with someone's position, he would not be so angry!
It's rare for the king not to save face for his courtiers in front of so many people!
Li Si smiled at Fan Zeng with a grateful expression on his face, and sighed: "Mr. Lao Fan is concerned, the old man in the list has not changed a single word... Maybe the old man is indeed old and can't be driven, what he has done It’s hard to satisfy the King!”

"is it?"

Fan Zeng looked at the old man suspiciously, always feeling that the old fox was fooling him, but he really couldn't figure out what Li Si could do to compete with his own king.

This is neither in line with Li Si's way of life, nor in line with their usual awe of the king's wisdom.

It's really not that they are flattering and willing to be sycophants, but that they have argued with Chen Sheng countless times, and the result shows that Chen Sheng is always right and far-sighted.

Li Si kept a bitter look on his face and let him examine him.

When the two were about to leave the palace gate, they found that the royal guards guarding the palace gate in front of them blocked the wheelchair of the right minister Han Fei, and a group of judicial officials were angrily tearing at the royal guards.

The two leaned together suspiciously.

Fan Zeng glanced at Han Fei, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a calm face, and asked with a sinking face, "What happened? Why did you block the way of Prime Minister Right?"

The guards of the royal court may ignore Han Fei and Li Si, but they still have a bit of respect for Fan Zeng, the God of Cookery. The left minister goes to the side hall to face the king."

Fan Zeng became more and more confused. He looked around at the astonished judicial officials and asked, "Since there is a decree, it's better to declare the decree directly. Could it be that they dare to disobey His Majesty's order?"

A group of judicial officials were shocked when they heard the words, and they all clasped their hands and bowed to the end: "The subordinates (little officials) dare not!"

"It's the old man's fault, it offended His Majesty."

Li Si stepped forward, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and bowed his hands to Fan Zeng: "You may as well go first, the old man and the right minister will go to meet you."

He also did not expect that a king would be so narrow-minded.

When Fan Zeng heard this, no matter how slow his reaction was, he knew that he must have been fooled by the old fox again, so he turned around angrily and left.

Reluctantly, Li Si pushed Han Fei's wheelchair and walked slowly towards the side hall.

"Why don't you ask Brother Wei, what did you do that hurt you?"

He said to himself as he walked.

Han Fei was indifferent: "If I don't ask, you won't tell?"

Li Si smiled slightly: "I knew that this matter must not be hidden from you."

Han Feiping said flatly: "It's another matter to hide it, but you should hide it for a while, these days, if I hadn't suppressed the judicial officials below, the rat's nest in your Li family's house, They should have rummaged through it all!"

The smile on Li Si's face became more and more intense: "This is exactly the reason why I want to pull you back. The speed of your legal school's expansion is indeed too fast, and the hearts of your legal school disciples are too dissatisfied!"

"Your Majesty advocates the rule of law, and all he thinks about is 'the Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people', and it's all about 'the family is rich or poor, and no one is rich or poor'...I will defend Your Majesty's will to the death!"

"But His Majesty is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are still many great things waiting for His Majesty to do. The Legalist family should become a sharp weapon in His hands, not a bondage of His Majesty!"

"If the rule of law is to succeed, it should be in the future, not in the present!"

"Don't you think so too?"

Han Fei remained unmoved: "You said later, how long will it be?"

Li Si said without thinking, "Of course it will be a hundred years from now!"

Han Fei finally sneered and cursed, "What a loyal old dog who shares the Lord's worries!"

"You can say whatever you want!"

Li Si replied indifferently, then sighed heavily, and said: "Brother is already old, and he has not had a job for a few years. The previous affairs should be over here, and the posthumous name is all Now that I am relying on the king, I have to use the remaining heat to add another brick and tile to the foundation of my great man forever!"

Han Fei was silent for a long time, then looked around and said, "Speaking of which, some disciples and grandchildren have recently sent two cakes of good tea. If you have free time, you might as well come to Guanlan Pavilion for a small sit."

This insignificant sentence stunned Li Si for a long time, and he replied after a long time: "If you are not old enough to lose your memory, this should be the first time you have known each other for half a year, and you have taken the initiative to show weakness." ..."

Strictly speaking, this can't even be called showing weakness, at best it just gave him a step down.

But compared to the past, when Han Fei knocked him into the air, he found the steps by himself, which was already a qualitative leap!

Han Fei didn't speak again.

He looked down on Li Si for half his life, but in the end he was taught by Li Si what a pattern is!

……

"coming!"

Chen Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at the two seniors who were pushing the wheelchair in. He kept making tea, and waved casually, "Come and sit!"

The two responded in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Si pushed Han Fei to the large golden nanmu tea tray, which was more than ten feet long, to set the wheels, and then sat down on the other side.

Neither his position nor Han Fei's position was facing the main seat where Chen Sheng was.

Chen Sheng didn't care about these details, he turned up three teacups with one hand, and slowly poured out three reddish-brown tea soup while holding the teapot with the other hand.

The original tea in Kyushu and the tea in Chen Sheng's memory are completely different things.

But ever since Chen Sheng started drinking tea, the tea leaves in Kyushu have been approaching the tea leaves in his memory at a rapid pace.

Including a series of objects related to tea, such as teapots, teacups, tea trays, etc., are all approaching those objects in Chen Sheng's memory at an extremely fast replacement speed.

Just like the tea tray in front of him at the moment, when he was drinking tea at first, he made a carving knife with his hands and modified a few cases at will. Later, in the place where he often rests, several different cases appeared. Tables, every time he used them, the next time he came back, these tables had all been replaced again.

From materials, shapes, to patterns and carvings, the selections were made again and again, and they were updated again and again, until they were infinitely close to those objects in Chen Sheng's memory.

After sipping a cup of tea soup, Chen Sheng put down the cup of tea, and said with a calm smile, "Mr. Li, Lao Han, I, Chen Sheng, ask myself, have I never treated you two harshly?"

Li Si quickly raised his hands and said: "Your kindness is like the sea, and it is difficult for an old minister Bi to repay it in his life. How can the word 'treat' come from? Your Majesty is too cruel to an old minister!"

Han Feiyi slightly nodded and said, "This minister can display what he has learned in his life, thanks to the support of the king. It is too late for the minister to thank the king for his kindness. The word 'harsh treatment' is really out of the question!"

Chen Sheng took out the revised third edition, three provinces and six departments, put it on the tea table, tapped his fingers and asked, "Then why did you two abandon me, Chen Sheng?"

Li Si was about to explain, but Chen Sheng has already continued: "Today's big decision is just when you two are showing your talents and grand plans, but you two can't wait to abandon me and leave me. You want the world to poke me, Chen Sheng." Backbone, call me Chen Sheng 'the birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooking'?"

This is not a serious way of communication between monarchs and ministers.

The serious way of communication between the monarch and his ministers is something that can be clearly stated in one sentence, but it is necessary to use ten or a hundred sentences to test each other and make side-effects in order to test and understand each other's mind.

But as the founding king of the country, Chen Sheng didn't need it, and he didn't bother to use this time-wasting and expression-wasting way of speaking.

Li Si and Han Fei were speechless.

Chen Sheng talked about this matter, whether they denied or admitted it, it was wrong!

Chen Sheng didn't point out that the two of them could answer him, and said to himself: "We, the monarch and his ministers, have worked together to start a business, and we can be regarded as friends in need. I don't need to say that I understand the twists and turns in your hearts. :"

"The Three Provinces and Six Departments System is what I, Chen Sheng, want to implement. If there is public outrage, it will not be your turn to carry it, Li Si. Even your old arms and legs, you can't handle much public outrage!"

"The rule of law is also what I want to implement. It is your ability to lock the power of the emperor in a cage. It is my ability, Chen Sheng, to not lock it in!"

"As the saying goes: if you don't explain the truth, you can't explain it, and you can't argue the reason. When you can convince everyone in the world that the emperor's power should be locked in a cage, I will probably finish what I want to do!"

"It's fate that everyone can be together so far. There is still a long way to go. Don't rush to go first."

"Master Wang has a martyr's shrine to commemorate the soldiers who died in battle!"

"Wenchen will also have Lingyan Pavilion in the future, enshrining all the famous officials who have contributed to my great man!"

"I sincerely hope that after a hundred years, the two of you can enter the Lingyan Pavilion, rest with the country, and be passed down forever!"

　Ah, it will be edited after 10 minutes. I’m very sorry. It’s really not intentional to prevent theft, but too many deletions and revisions, so that I couldn’t write it on time...I’ll adjust the status later, and it won’t happen.
