Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 588
The emperor sat on the platform, watching the performance of many students, he was overjoyed, looked at Guo Jia beside him, he waved his hand, Guo Jia walked up to the emperor, the emperor said: "next time, remove those fences around Let the common people and the officials come and see." The emperor said, after thinking for a moment, he added: "I was thinking, perhaps we should let the northern and southern armies hold more similar competitions."

Guo Jia frowned, nodded, and said, "Yes."

The more the emperor thought about it, the more feasible it was. After a long time, the assessment was over, the officials got busy, and the emperor got up, and was about to leave. Before leaving, the emperor saw Lu Meng in the crowd , He widened his eyes, looked at the emperor, as if he was waiting for himself to speak, the emperor smiled, and waved to him, Lu Meng was not afraid, walked through the group of guards, and walked to the emperor's side.

"Not bad, not bad, but I didn't lose the face of old general Huangfu, hahaha, when the results of the assessment come out, if you can win the crown of this subject, tell old general Huangfu and let him take you into the hall of virtue. Reuse!"

Hearing the Son of Heaven's words, Lu Meng was overjoyed, he grinned stupidly, Huang Fusong kicked him angrily, and cursed, "You still don't want to thank me?!"

Only then did Lu Meng come to his senses, he quickly saluted and thanked him, the emperor didn't care, he stayed with Hua Xiong for a long time, this guy looked a little humble and polite, and looked like a gentleman, of course, anyone who compares with Hua Xiong is like this The emperor persuaded him a few more words, and then he left. After everyone left, the students were about to return to the Military Academy. Many students gathered around Lu Meng and asked, "What did your majesty say to you just now?"

"Of course you praised me, and praised me as the top of all the students!" Lu Meng said, and everyone knew his character, and they also booed one after another. However, it can be seen that most of them are very envious of Lu Meng. After a few words, Lu Meng went to look for Lu Yi, walked to Lu Yi's side, and said, "Bo Yan, you and I have an opportunity, I don't know anything else, but only talking about riding and shooting, there are so many students, there is no one here. can compete with me"

"When the time comes, I'll go face the saint and recommend you to His Majesty!"

"Me?" Lu Yi was stunned for a moment and asked with some doubts.

"Of course, let me think about it. It is impossible for the Northern Army to let us stand out. The Northern Army is full of veterans. People like Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Qu Yi, and Zhang Ji have all participated in many battles. My veteran, there is no vacancy for us to go to the Northern Army, not to mention the fact that the Northern Army has few battles. What are we going to do?? To train soldiers? So, the best of us must go to the Southern Army "

"The southern army often fights against the Qiang outside the Great Wall, so there are many opportunities to make contributions!!"

"Also, if you think about it, the Northern Army is just five fixed captains, but the Southern Army, the [-]th Battalion of the Southern Army can have [-] captains, maybe we can all be a colonel." Lu Meng was talking happily, but Lu Yi quickly interrupted him and asked, "Brother, I know all these things, but what does this have to do with my brother recommending me to His Majesty?"

"You know my temperament, maybe I can be a captain, but in the future, the Southern Army Zhonghou will also fall on the heads of us. At that time, if someone else becomes the Zhonghou, how can I Can you convince him?? You can only do it by Boyan!!"

Lu Yi looked at Lu Meng who was in front of him. Lu Meng talked about how Lu Yi would compete when he became a Marquis of the Southern Army in the future, and how he would become a captain of the temple. He could only smile awkwardly and said, "Brother, do you have any questions?" Foresight is not as good as me"

The emperor returned to the temple, but quickly called Sun Jian to the Hall of Houde, and sat in the hall of Houde. The emperor told Sun Jian his own ideas, that is, to let the northern and southern armies compete in the same way, and Sun Jian listened carefully After the emperor finished speaking, he felt a little puzzled, and asked, "Your Majesty, the northern and southern armies are promoted through meritorious service, not riding and shooting. If it is about riding and shooting, there are many soldiers who are far superior to the generals. not good."

"I'm not trying to get them promoted by riding and shooting, it's just that there are rewards."

"Your Majesty, most of the soldiers of the Northern and Southern Army are arrogant. Even if they are not promoted, they are just rewards. If the ordinary soldiers win the generals or even the superiors, how will the generals command these soldiers in the future? Will the soldiers obey him? Will it make the soldiers more arrogant??" Sun Jian asked back, the emperor frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "I do this because I am so lively."

"I want the common people, the officials, to see the bravery of the North and South Army. One is to calm the hearts of the people, the other is to fear the traitors, and the third is to make the army good at fighting. This can arouse the martial arts among the people. , Scholars in today's world are becoming more and more lazy, and the atmosphere is corrupt. There are many students in the Taixue who gather to eat, sit and talk about classics all day long, and don't do practical things. Xuande has already told me a lot about this. Second-rate"

"Think about it yourself, if the trend becomes more and more like this, who will the future big man rely on to govern??"

"Recently, I have been thinking about whether to vigorously promote the theory of Gongyang among the people. Nowadays, most of the Taixue sacrifices are teaching Gongyang Chunqiu, such as Cui Yan, and other great Confucian scholars, who have begun to govern Gongyang Chunqiu. This is very good. In addition, , and there is this matter of riding and shooting."

As the Son of Heaven said, Sun Jian knew in his heart that he thought about it for a long time before he said: "If Your Majesty has such an idea, it's easy to do. You don't need to practice riding and shooting. Let the soldiers of the Northern and Southern Army practice normally and form formations. Let the common people , officials, and scholars can watch it. Riding and archery can also be held, but it should be held separately for soldiers and generals.”

"Okay, then you have to think hard and come up with a solution for me. Within a month, you must make a detailed plan!!"

"Please!"

After seeing off Sun Jian, the emperor sat alone in Houde Hall, stroked his beard, and fell into deep thought. After these tedious things were done, he had to pay more attention to domestic civil affairs. , there is no enemy outside, and the inside is peaceful, it is the time for great governance. In the heart of the emperor, there is a huge grand blueprint, and Xing Ziang's galloping way is just one aspect of it.

The matter of Xing Ziang's construction of Chi Dao is of course important, and the emperor is also ready to help him accomplish it with all his strength. First, he will wait for his completion of these three Chi Dao, and strengthen the management of temples in various places. The situation is that horse-drawn carriages can pass between counties without any obstacles. It may be very difficult to complete this. According to Xing Ziang, it will take about 40 years to complete.

Still, it's worth it.

In addition, there is also the problem of water conservancy. Recently, in You, Hebei, Qinghai and other places, waterlogging has continued, and large rivers often kill people. This reminds the emperor that the construction of water conservancy projects has to be started. The local hazards, on the other hand, are benefits and Nongsang. The emperor has an irritable temper. He hopes to complete everything as soon as possible, and the road construction may be the longest thing he can wait for.

Although the governors and officials in various places are also spontaneously building water conservancy projects as their own political achievements, the emperor still feels that doing so is a bit slow. Without the support of the temple, there is no way to do it on a large scale only by relying on the strength of the local counties. The only way to build it is to use the power of the treasury to support various places and urge officials to implement it, and the emperor probably has his own ideas in his mind.

He will pave the way in Dahan in 40 years.

He will build more than 30 canals and dams in Dahan within [-] years.

If possible, he would also like to study official studies in every county in the Han Dynasty. Of course, Liu Bei tried it, and finally came to the conclusion that it was a time that the emperor could not wait for, and perhaps he could only leave it to Liu Mastiff. Just relying on these meritorious deeds, I am no worse than my father, the emperor smiled secretly, Guo Jia, although he is not very obedient, but he really can't get around him when doing these things.

The emperor was thinking about it, when Hanmen came in, saluted and said: "The country, Your Highness the eldest princess is here. She is already in the Palace of Compassion." Hearing this sentence, the emperor was shocked, jumped up quickly, and asked: " My nephew is here too??" Han Men nodded with a smile and said, "Here he is, he is white and fat, and he is very healthy."

"Okay! Hahaha!!"

As the Son of Heaven said, he went directly to the Palace of Compassion and Ning. The Han family and other Huangmen followed behind him. The Son of Heaven walked very fast. He hadn't seen his younger sister for nearly a year, and the indescribable thoughts in his heart , approached the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and heard a familiar laughter from inside. The emperor couldn't help but smiled when he heard it. The yellow gate on duty saw the emperor who came, and hurriedly saluted. The emperor ignored them and left go in.

Walking into the Compassionate Ning Palace, I saw the queen holding a child and teasing her, and the eldest princess was sitting beside her.

"Hahaha!! My eldest daughter is here!!" The emperor said with a big laugh. The emperor had just opened his mouth. The eldest princess who was chatting with the queen suddenly raised her head and looked at the emperor, her eyes were red. Standing up, ran directly, and threw herself into the arms of the emperor. The eldest princess threw herself into the arms of the emperor, crying loudly. The emperor quickly asked: "What's the matter? What's the matter? But that kid Zhuge Liang bullied you? ?!"

"I knew that guy was not a good person!! As expected!! Come here!! Call Zhang He into the palace!!"

The emperor roared, and the eldest princess quickly raised her head, and said displeasedly: "How dare he bully me, I just miss my brother so much, so I cry!!" The emperor smiled awkwardly, and said: "Then you don't have to Cry, when you cry like this, I thought he was bullying you and, let me go, you already have a child, why do you still look like this!"

As the emperor said, he remembered his nephew, and hurriedly walked over with a smile, and took the child from the queen. The child was very cute and chubby, and when he was picked up by the emperor, he just opened his eyes. Opening his eyes, he looked at the Son of Heaven, and then fell asleep again. The Son of Heaven laughed and pecked him a few times. He thought the child would cry, but unexpectedly, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He just stretched out his hands, After protesting for a while, I went to sleep again.

"Come, call uncle, call uncle!" The emperor teased the child in his arms.

Princess Raoyang stood aside, wondering why she was suddenly ignored by her brother? ?

The Son of Heaven hugged the child, looked at Princess Raoyang, and said, "You can go back if you have nothing to do. The child will stay in the palace and let me and the empress take care of it for a few days. I think he is also well-behaved, so I don't think he will cry."
