Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 642
"Take Zhuge Liang as the great scorpion."

"Take Sima Yi as the young mansion."

"Take Zhou Yu as the guard."

"Take Man Chong as the court captain."

"Take Yuan Shang as the emissary who pointed directly at the embroidered clothes."

"Using the Fa to rectify is too common."

"Take Pang Tong as Guang Lu Xun."

"Take Cao Pi as Habayashiro."

"Take Sun Quan as your doorman."

"Take Lu Yu as the Taizhong doctor."

"Use Zhong Changtong as the governing book to serve the censor."

All the officials from the Eastern Palace immediately rushed into the temple. Among the nine ministers, only Liu Bei and Liu Ba were preserved, and the rest became the son of the emperor. In this way, even if the three lords united, it would be difficult to pose any threat to the emperor. Before ascension to the throne, he had a high reputation, not only among the common people, or in the army, but also among the scholars. Everyone admired him, and no one in the temple could threaten him.

The hardships experienced by the two emperors, Xiaokang and Xiaoxian, may not be experienced today. Before he ascended the throne, he had already made enough preparations. In terms of reputation, he had repeatedly advocated benevolent government before he ascended the throne. It's funny to say that Emperor Xiaoxian, who is doing his best to implement benevolent government, is no match for the emperor who only shouts benevolence and righteousness in the eyes of the common people. Today, the emperor has never had the opportunity to implement benevolent government in person, he just shouted benevolent government The name of the head, but the name of benevolence and righteousness surpassed his father.

From this point of view, sometimes, not only do, but also learn to shout.

As far as the aristocratic family is concerned, he is Yuan Shu's disciple, and he is close to Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Yuan Shang, Cao Pi, Sun Quan, Lu Yu, etc., and the world's aristocratic families have been tied to him long ago. What power does the successor of the family have compared to the power to speak in the ear of the emperor?Therefore, in this regard, his popularity is also very good, and all the big clans are very close to him.

In terms of scholars, it goes without saying that thanks to Grandpa Cai Yong, the emperor has a very high prestige in Taiyuan Academy and Menzixue, and the students are almost impatiently waiting for the emperor to ascend the throne.

This is even more so in terms of the military. If the proposal of supporting the elderly makes the soldiers return to their hearts, then the large number of military generals he has made friends with will guarantee the emperor's control over the military.

Compared with the two former emperors, he was much luckier. The hard work of the two generations had left him with the most solid foundation, and also left him with a peaceful and prosperous world.

The emperor sat at the top, and the officials could not object to Xun Yu's proposal. The officials of the Eastern Palace sat in the forefront, completely different from the old Xiping officials around them. With the prosperity in his heart, the emperor looked at them, smiled, and said, "I am very happy that Mr. Xun can recommend so many talents. I also want to recommend one person. I don't know how?"

"Please speak, Your Majesty!!" Zhuge Liang said.

Cao Cao was taken aback, and he frowned. He seemed to smell the passing of power. He heard Zhuge Liang and the others speak, and the emperor just said, "Where is Hua Xiong, Captain of Sili?" Hua Xiong hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd , raised his head, looked at the emperor above, bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "I want to worship you as my servant, Duke Hua can't be negligent."

Hua Xiong was overjoyed, nodded his head and said, "Of course not!"

"Okay, gentlemen, I have just ascended the throne, and there are many things in the court, and I still need to trouble you. I heard that the envoys of rest are coming. They are likely to ask for help from the big man to quell the civil strife. I have been thinking for a long time. I have just ascended the throne, and there are still many important matters in the country that need to be dealt with, so I can't be distracted from abroad for the time being. Therefore, I feel that if they come, they should be treated well, and it is only about sending troops, so let's not talk about it anymore."

The emperor expressed his position, and the officials nodded. If it were at other times, maybe the big man could really send some people to investigate this country thousands of miles away, increase the influence of the big man in the whole world, and let people from all directions Everyone in the state knows the prestige of the big man, but now, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are many periods that need to be dealt with in the country. The transfer of power alone cannot be completed in a short period of time.

At this time, it is of course impossible to rush to conquer foreign countries.

"Mr. Zhuge, I will trouble you..." The emperor squinted his eyes and said, Zhuge Liangliang nodded. The emperor was about to continue talking, but he saw Zhang Fei stand up and said: "Your Majesty! Impeachment of Zhongshu Ling Xing Gong, as an important minister in the country, he has not returned to the temple after the death of Emperor Xiaoxian, he has been away for a long time, did not return for a long time, and did not go to the funeral, this is a serious crime, and I hope His Majesty will deal with it!!!”

Hearing Zhang Fei's performance, the Son of Heaven froze for a moment, then looked at Cao Cao, and asked, "Situ, what's going on with Mr. Xing? Do you know?" Cao Cao stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xing and Mr. Xiping began to build the Chi Road in 18 years, and it has been five years. I heard that Ningzhou Chi Road is about to be completed. His Majesty does not know that Mr. Xing is also tired. Ningzhou is cold in winter and the ground shakes. After five years of hard work, Chidao has reached Shanggao County.”

"I think Ningzhou Chidao can be completed within April."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "Mr. Xing's troubled and bitterly cold place is also for the sake of this world. How can I blame him for this?" How about your money?" Yuan Shao got up slowly, and replied: "Your Majesty, in these years, Duke Xing only needed assistance from the temple twice, and he didn't ask again. I heard that Duke Xing dispersed all his property and personally Lobbying and persuading the local rich to support”

"Ridiculous!!!" The emperor stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "An old minister, who works hard for me, why should he figure out a way for this money?? Let him humbly talk to others. Want??", the emperor was a little excited, he frowned, and said: "An old minister can do such a thing for a big man, why can't I?? Where is Sima Jun??!"

Sima Yi got up and bowed to see you.

"You and I will go to the Hall of Houde later, take out all the valuables, exchange them for money and food, and send them to Ningzhou. In the future, the food used in the palace will be reduced by half, and also sent to Ningzhou!!" Son of Heaven Frowning and speaking, Sima Yi turned pale with shock, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, this", he said, looking at Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao said hastily: "Your Majesty, the treasury has enough money. Think of a way now, subsidize Duke Xing, and make this happen.”

"Then there will be Lao Yuan Sikong."

The emperor said with a long sigh, and said: "When I was young in Luoyang, I saw many real poor people. Now, there are even people who can't afford to eat, and can't wear thick clothes in winter. This is really embarrassing. I am ashamed, gentlemen, I can’t ask you all, but I still hope that you can live frugally. I, Emperor Renzong Xiaokang, have been wearing clothes for three years, and I, Emperor Yizong Xiaoxian, always go out in a car Bullock cart!!"

"It is because of them that we have today's prosperous age. I hope that within the temple and above the place, there will be a thrifty style, and no large-scale construction and waste of money and food will be allowed."

"Please!!"

Everyone shouted.

Only then did the emperor continue to discuss other matters with the ministers. The newly promoted important ministers seemed to be present, but the emperor shook his head and did not let them speak. They had just ascended to power and the power transfer had not yet been completed. It is still necessary to wait for everything to stabilize before continuing to talk about it. Ever since, this court meeting did not talk about too many important matters, but only talked about the so-called morality. Come here as if to be educated.

After the court meeting ended, the officials of the East Palace immediately went to hand over, wanting to quickly secure their positions, and the emperor was not idle, and went to visit Cai Yong, went to the two universities, met the students, talked with them about their studies, and went to The Northern Army, military science, large-scale worship of the Zhonglie Hall, the ancestors and the ancestors, went to the countryside and the people, and greeted the people. In a short period of time, the emperor hardly stayed in the Hall of Houde, and was busy outside all day.

The veterans of Xiping, watching the emperor's deeds, can't help but feel the maturity of the emperor's methods. In such a short period of time, the emperor has completely stabilized Luoyang, and his reputation has continued to rise. Everyone is praising him. , although this son of heaven has never done anything, and everything is only reflected in his words, he is still respected and admired by the entire Luoyang people.

As the new batch of courtiers came to power, the old Xiping courtiers gradually felt the difference. These new courtiers looked at them with disdain in their eyes, as if they were all outsiders, and they were the real ones. The important ministers of the emperor, when they encounter some things, they will stand together tightly, leaving the old officials of Xiping helpless. They are a little stunned at this moment, thinking slowly, it seems that they treated the old officials of Jianning in the same way back then
Now, they can finally empathize.

They couldn't help thinking of Mr. Xing.

Ningzhou, Shanggao County.

Everyone was busy on the ground with hoes and shovels in their hands. There were people everywhere, busy with their own affairs. No one stopped to rest. A woman brought food and water. Everyone shouted and began to rest and eat. , this is one of the few moments when they can rest. The elderly Xing Gong walked out from the crowd, carrying an iron hoe, followed by a few cronies. Years of hard work made Xing Gong's waist slowly bend. go down.

His chapped face showed the marks of time, his lips were also cracked, and he was wearing a tattered cotton coat. He breathed out a breath of air, and Xing Gong sat down, picked up the bowl from the side, and ate his food. It was very simple, there were only two pieces of meat floating on the clear soup. Xing Ziang looked at the bowl and couldn't help smiling. As soon as he sat down, there were children sitting around him, and these children surrounded him with smiles.

The confidant behind him frowned and said, "Mr. Xing is very tired today."

"No problem...no problem" Xing Ziang stopped him, let the children sit around him, frowned, and said: "What I taught you yesterday, have you learned it?"

"Learned!!"

"Okay, okay, next, recite to me what I said yesterday, whoever can recite it will own these slices of meat!!"

The children started chirping, and Mr. Xing put the meat slices into the mouth of the child who knew everything, smiled kindly, looked at the children, and said, "If you want to eat meat every day, go to school. , read well. When you study and pass the test, not only you can eat meat, but even your parents can eat meat with you. In Luoyang, beef and mutton are everywhere on the road, which is very delicious. As long as you can get into Luoyang’s Taixue, you’ll be able to eat every meal!!”

After eating, Xing Ziang stood up, looked at the sky, and said to the left and right: "Because there is no wind and snow today, let's be busy for a while."

"Please!"
