Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 700
Seeing Liu An kneeling in front of him, Liu Yi was startled. This is his own uncle. How can an uncle give such a big gift to his nephew? Liu Yi hurried forward to help Liu An, but , Liu Yi just walked to Liu An's side, Liu An immediately hugged him, hugged him tightly, and cried loudly, "Father! You finally came to see the baby! I miss you!! I I miss Grandma so much!!"

The surrounding maids were already stunned, and even the soldiers guarding the surroundings did not dare to move for a while.

Liu Yi helplessly looked at his uncle who was hugging him and weeping, feeling a little sad in his heart. He stretched out his hand and stroked his uncle's back slowly. Liu An hugged Liu Yi and cried for a long time before he gradually calmed down. , Maybe he was too drunk, so he just fell asleep like this, snoring softly, Liu Yi looked at the soldiers around him, and said: "I am the son of King Chenliu, the nephew of King Wa, please bring uncle Go and rest!"

Hearing his words, the soldiers realized that it was the king's nephew, no wonder the king mistook him for Emperor Xiaokang, everyone quickly saluted, and then stepped forward, several soldiers lifted Liu An up with force, cough cough Although Liu An is not as good as Liu Yi in terms of body shape, he is still strong and strong. It is not easy for ordinary people to lift him up. However, judging by the proficiency of these soldiers, it seems that it is not a matter of once or twice. .

Liu Yi thought to himself, watching the soldiers carry his uncle to the bed, and then let the maids leave, and then sat on the side of the bed, a little dazed, he had come to visit his uncle, and he didn't expect his uncle to come So drunk, it seems that I still have to go to Xunxiang. Liu Yi was thinking about it, but Liu An murmured in a low voice, "Father, father, don't blame me, the child is just for self-protection."

Liu Yi was shocked, and quickly got up, but he didn't dare to stay here any longer. He walked to the palace gate, looked at the soldiers beside him, and said, "When uncle wakes up, you can tell me about my visit." He, besides, I will stay at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, if my uncle is looking for me, he can send someone to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.” The soldiers quickly agreed, and Liu Yi left the palace in a hurry.

When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the officials enthusiastically took him to the study room with great respect. Liu Yi's eyes widened and he asked, "Is the Prime Minister not here? Where's the envoy, Mr. Pang? Where did they go?" ?”

The official replied: "Liu Jun, they have already left the Wangcheng, maybe they are going to inspect the Wa Island and Xiang Xiang told us to welcome Liu Jun. If Liu Jun doesn't want to rest in the station, he can live here. Liu Jun wants to go out to play, we can take Liu Jun and find some lively places."

Liu Yi nodded, but regretted it in his heart. If he had known about it, he would have followed Pang Tong to the prime minister's mansion first. Now it's all over. They all left themselves and ran away. They didn't know what to do. The officials asked them to bring out some food. Then he said: "By the way, Prime Minister Xun still has orders. The person Liu Jun wounded on the boat earlier was the captain of Wang Chengcheng Gate. Now he is still lying on the sickbed. Cough cough. medical bills out"

"."

At this moment, Pang Tong is already following Xun You, riding in a carriage, driving outside the road. To be honest, Pang Tong has never seen such a poor and backward place. People are falling apart, he has never seen such a dilapidated road, there is no cultivated land on both sides of the road, and vehicles are even rarer, no wonder so many people will impeach Prime Minister Xun!

Pang Tong thought to himself, but Xun You didn't take it seriously. Looking at the surrounding situation, he said in a low voice: "It's easy to govern, but hard to change."

"Xun Xiang. I think the wind has almost been changed. Is it the turn for the easy part?" Pang Tong asked cautiously. After a long stay in the prosperous Luoyang, he suddenly saw such a city. Unacceptable, a pavilion in Luoyang is much richer than the county here!The gap is too huge, even if you don't compare it with the capital, Ningzhou, which is the closest to here, is countless times better than here!
Xun You shook his head and said, "It's still a little bit worse."

"The style of writing here surpasses that of Luo Yang!! Is it worse??"

"It's just a little bit worse, it's coming soon"

Pang Tong also thought he was smart, but at this moment, he really couldn't understand what was going on in Xun You's mind. How long would it take for him to be qualified?Sitting in a carriage, I walked all the way from Wangcheng to the south. Everywhere, the situation is similar to that of Wangcheng. There are many officials and scholars, and there are scholars in Confucian robes everywhere, speaking fluent elegant words, and even debating. With the righteousness of Confucianism.

After traveling to many places, gradually, Pang Tong seemed to understand something in his heart. From time to time, he would stop and think seriously, and Xun You would not disturb him, and let him think. The more he patrolled, the more Pang Tong felt. The idea of ​​Xun You became clearer, and he also began to write some reports about the local area, which was sent back to Luoyang. He had a vague feeling in his heart that many of Xun You's policies in Wa Island could be applied to many areas.

Today, the emperor is not obsessed with expanding the territory. Although a lot of cultivated land has been opened up in the southwest, the emperor has no interest in many small countries in the northeast, or even some states in the south of Guishuang, mainly in these places. It is too poor, not suitable for farming, and the people are scarce. According to the emperor's idea, it is better for the temple to govern the Central Plains than to spend energy on these places.

As for these places, as long as they submit to the Han in name, they can contribute their resources. The Han spends their production on the governance of the Central Plains, and obtains a large amount of raw materials. After processing, they become available to the common people of the Han. In addition, some defective products that have been eliminated, and even more products produced by workshops, can be sold in these areas to further obtain more wealth, thus forming a cycle.

They are poorer and the big men are richer.

Previously, Pang Tong always felt that the emperor's deeds were very clever, even more shrewd than Xiaokang and Xiaoxian. During the reign of the first two emperors, they have been committed to acquiring new lands, constantly increasing the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the people , but the improvement of national strength has a limited effect. They are wolves, and the surrounding states are sheep. What they do is eat the sheep and turn this place into a wolf's territory.

Although the range of activities of wolves has expanded, wolves have not become stronger because of these, but have to spend more energy on these territories.

When the emperor came to the throne, he adopted a new way of thinking, no longer eating these sheep, let the sheep reproduce freely, and regularly gave some meat to the wolf, the wolf continued to eat the meat, and became stronger and stronger. The sheep are getting thinner and thinner, and that’s not counting. After eating the meat provided by the sheep, they have to send the manure back in exchange for more meat, which is too much.

Pang Tong has always regarded the emperor as his confidant. Many times, other people can't see some of his thoughts, but the emperor can always see that he wants to limit the imperial power by law, and even Man Chong thinks he is He was supporting the aristocratic family and restricting the officials, and the emperor had already seen through his inner thoughts, so he was driven to Wa Island. Although he was driven away, Pang Tong was still very happy. After all, the emperor understood himself.

After the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he felt like an ancient sage. He entrusted all matters to the officials. He only stayed in the Hall of Houde and never went out. He would not make any suggestions to the officials. Only then was he exceptionally loved by everyone, but if you think about it seriously, the entire temple is controlled by the emperor, and everything is implemented according to his ideas. To create such a situation, Emperor Xiaokang spent five years, Emperor Xiaoxian It took ten years, today it only takes four years.
Because of this, Pang Tong felt that the emperor must understand his own thoughts. After seeing these policies of Wa Island, Pang Tong suddenly had a different idea in his mind. Could temples be like this in other places?Dahan is a country of benevolence and righteousness. To help friends build official schools, teach sages, donate books, regularly collect their children, educate them, and send them back to their hometowns. This is the real mission of Dahan! !

Isn't the mission of the great man to spread the way of saints, spread Confucianism to the world, enlighten ignorance, let the ignorant understand what is benevolence and righteousness, what is integrity, let them bathe in the glory of saints, this is the right way! !
Thinking of this, Pang Tong became a little excited, and said, "There is no distinction between teaching and learning."
The wisdom of the sages!

Sitting in the carriage, looking at Pang Tong with a smirk, Xun You couldn't help but move his position, mainly because of Pang Tong's appearance, it was indeed a bit chilling to smile like this, but Xun You could probably guess that he was thinking about What, the reason why he went to great lengths to meet Pang Tong was also because of this idea. He hoped that the envoy could understand his thoughts. It seemed that the busy days were not in vain.

Just as he was thinking, Pang Tong came back to his senses, suddenly bowed to Xun You, and said, "Thank you!"

"Ok?"

"When I arrived at Wa Island, I realized that what I thought in the past was too small. My eyes were only on a country, but now, I thought of something else."

"I don't know what you thought of?"

"I thought of a circle." Pang Tong raised his hand and gestured, grinning, and said: "A big circle that worships Confucius, governs Confucianism, and recites elegant words."

Xun You smiled lightly and said nothing.

The two of them were out on a tour, but Liu Yi was making a big fuss in the royal city, and his notoriety spread far and wide. The scale of the royal city was not large, and Liu Yi just spent a few days shopping. The days were boring, so the officials took him to those so-called lively places. In the end, they were all official schools, or Shi Jing, which couldn’t compare to the scale of Luoyang. Liu Yi was naturally very disappointed. Fortunately, he still found the fun. place for debate.

Ever since, this apprentice Gongyang immediately launched a battle against Guliang.

For a while, Wangcheng was extremely lively, and countless Confucian scholars came to the stage, and started a debate on Confucian classics with Liu Yi.

Either with his mouth or his hands, Liu Yi won [-] consecutive victories.

The sacrificial wine in the official school, some great scholars and famous scholars who came here couldn't sit still, they led their disciples up one after another, and things became more lively.

Naturally, Liu An came to look for Liu Yi a long time ago. He kept silent about what happened that night, and Liu Yi didn't talk about it either. The uncle and nephew enjoyed themselves happily.

When Liu Yi started the debate, Liu Anyu persuaded him earnestly: "Yi'er, you must be prudent in doing things, not childish, but generous and open-minded. The way of Confucianism is to be tolerant. There is a certain reason for today's Dao, not to mention, you are the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang and a disciple of Gongyang, so that's why."

"You must not lose!!"

"If you dare to lose the face of Emperor Xiaokang, I will peel off your skin!!"

Um? ?

Liu Yi was dumbfounded.

ps: I am busy with my studies, I will update one today, and two updates tomorrow, please do not rush, thank you for your understanding.
