Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 723
Cao Cao was still clinging to his body, with sweat coming out of his forehead. Although he clearly knew the nature of the emperor in front of him, he was definitely not as gentle and benevolent as he seemed, and he had long thought that there would be a day when the emperor would make trouble , but he still didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, the emperor who was holding his hand yesterday and was so affectionate with him, just one night later, he couldn't hold his head up in the temple.

The rest of the ministers all lowered their heads. Liu Bei frowned and looked at his hands, which were trembling slightly. The emperor who is known as the most benevolent man and the gentlest to the ministers, today, finally He still showed his fangs. At least, he was much more ruthless than Emperor Xiaoxian. Even Emperor Xiaoxian couldn't directly execute those ministers who had followed him for a long time. At most, he would be dismissed.

But on this day, Liu Xi did not show any mercy. The previous actions directly wiped out Cao Cao's supporters in the temple. All of them were under the cabinet system. Among those people, there was no shortage of the emperor's cronies, but they were still dealt with together. And the second time, he also had his own purpose. On the grounds of his hippie smile and the anniversary of Emperor Xiaokang's death, he arrested some courtiers who were not used to Cao Cao and favored Liu Bei and Sun Jian, and executed them directly.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, regardless of age, the descendants of Emperor Xiaokang should not be underestimated.

The Taiwei Sun Jian couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up tremblingly, and said: "Your Majesty, most of the people in the Taiwei's Mansion are warriors. It is a serious crime to forget the anniversary of death, but the crime is not fatal. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, who will discipline you well in the future, will atone for your sins!", he bowed to the emperor in front of him, three kilometers away from the temple, perhaps he was the one who valued the most affection.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei could watch their subordinates being dragged out and ignore them, but Sun Jian couldn't do this.

Looking at the terrified Sun Jian in front of him, Liu Xi showed his white teeth and laughed, "You don't have to do this, Mr. Taiwei. Since Mr. Taiwei pleads for mercy, I can't just sit idly by, but, my edict has already been issued." After it’s sent out, I can’t change it myself, so let’s just watch the temple and do rewards, Sikong also has this job, Liu Sikong.”

Liu Bei got up slowly, and bowed to the emperor, "The minister is here."

"These people under Taiwei's command, do you think they are guilty, maybe they will be released? The life and death of these people will be left to Sikong to deal with," Liu Xi said with a smile.

Liu Bei's back was a little cold, as if frost had formed, he swallowed, and looked at the emperor above. Liu Xi's words were unquestionable, and there was no room for him to refute, while the Taiwei looked at him pleadingly. , only thinking about being able to save his subordinates, Liu Xi said: "Mr. Taiwei, whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on Sikong's intentions. You can talk to him and explain a thing or two."

Sun Jian frowned, looked at Liu Bei in front of him, and said seriously: "I hope Sikong can let these people go. These people have been with me for a long time. They have not made any mistakes in normal times. They have been diligent all the time. Today they committed crimes because of ignorance. If you made a mistake, I hope Sikong will forgive you."

Well, I want to spare them too, but if I spare them, will he spare me? ? ?
Liu Bei was a little hesitant, and everyone's eyes were on him. Liu Bei trembled, but said firmly: "The emperor's edict has been issued, and the ministers dare not release them. They should die!"

Sun Jian blushed, gritted his teeth, and looked at Liu Bei's eyes with strong hatred. With the support of the two ministers behind him, he slowly sat back on his seat, but those eyes were dead. Staring deadly at Liu Bei, Liu Bei sighed helplessly, turned to the emperor and bowed.

Liu Xi shook his head, and said: "Sikong's move is a bit too cruel, General Lu!" He shouted, and Lu Bu stood up in the distance, and Liu Xi said solemnly: "Give those people to Man Chong to deal with, if If there are other faults, they will be dealt with together. If there are no faults, they will be dismissed as officials. I am sorry..." Hearing the emperor's words, Lu Bu quickly stood up and said, "Please!!"

Lu Bu turned his head abruptly, looked at Sun Jian, and shouted angrily: "Hey!! Don't thank the emperor for his kindness!!"

Sun Jian was taken aback for a moment. Today's events, great sorrow and great joy, made him a little dazed at the moment. However, it is a good thing that so many ministers of the Taiwei Mansion were able to avoid the death penalty. He quickly got up, bowed to the emperor, and said that the emperor is holy , Lu Bu looked at the surrounding ministers again, and the courtiers followed suit and recited the emperor's holy words. Then Lu Bu nodded and sat back in his seat.

Liu Bei also visited the emperor with these ministers, but his heart was extremely sad. No matter how he responded, the emperor had a way to target himself. After such a incident, it was not just a matter of offending the Taiwei, most of the courtiers would not He would be too close to him, but at least he saved his life. He didn't doubt whether Liu Xi would kill him. Under that smiling face was an extremely cold heart.

Perhaps, only a few people can make him hesitate, but he, Liu Bei, is not among those few people.

Liu Xi shook his head and said, "My lords, why is this so? Get up quickly and I was just too short-tempered just now. With so many heroes, how can I execute them all? Well, next, let's talk about Serious business Cao Situ?"

Liu Xi asked, Cao Cao was still in a trance and didn't react, Liu Xi asked again: "Cao Situ?"

Only then did Cao Cao come to his senses, he got up quickly, looked at the emperor, and Liu Xi said, "Shouldn't you tell the ministers about the strategy to change the wind?" Cao Cao nodded, looked at the ministers, and slowly said After the series of policies proposed by Xun You, but this time, he did not have the temperament of commenting on the country and despising the officials as usual, and his words were not so sharp. It can be seen that Liu Xi's speech, It made him a little lost.

The ministers were silent, listening to Cao Cao finished talking about the relevant policies, in fact, there were not many, just transporting books around, government schools recruiting children from outside the Great Wall, and the Menzi School, starting this year, recruiting students from outside the Han Dynasty Yes, this is a feat. It set a precedent and spread the torch of Han civilization to the whole world. This is an act comparable to the merit of a saint. Until Cao Cao finished speaking, the officials did not speak.

"Do the ministers have any objections?"

Liu Xi asked. Among the crowd, one person stood up slowly and asked, "Your Majesty, I have objections. It's like this. Book printing is not enough for us in the big man. Why should we send it out?" I think it should be done. Conduct trade fairly, and give some foreign merchants the right to print, let them print their own books, and then sell them to other foreign countries, so that they will not lose money."

It was Liu Ba who stood up. Liu Ba expressed his thoughts purely from the perspective of the treasury. The emperor thought for a moment before asking: "If the right to print is given to merchants, they will print military art and the like, and sell it. Get out, how is that possible?"

"You can let the government academy be responsible for supervising the printing. If you want to print, you must report to the temple, and those who print without permission will be convicted. That's it!"

"Okay!" Liu Xi agreed.

When Liu Ba opened his mouth, he finally broke the strange silence of the temple. The ministers also put forward their own suggestions. There is no need to mention things like culture. Dahan has been doing this for 40 years. After the matter was settled, Liu Xifang looked at the officials, cleared his throat, and said, "There is one more thing. .”

The officials immediately fell silent and looked at the emperor.

"I heard that in today's world, when people suffer from diseases, they can't find a doctor. They can only pray to gods and worship Buddhas. Some diseases that are not serious can destroy a family. I can't bear to hear that. , I even heard that there are people in the world pretending to be gods and ghosts, pretending to be doctors, deceiving the people, seeking wealth and killing people. Therefore, I intend to open a medical clinic, train a large number of doctors, and open medical clinics in various places to heal the people of the world.”

"What do you guys think?"

"good!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

"The blessings of the people of the world!"

All the ministers spoke one after another. Liu Xi squinted his eyes, looked at them, and said, "I know that Jiaozhou, Liangzhou, and even Hezhou all produce a lot of precious herbs. I hope these areas can cultivate herbs vigorously, so that There is no shortage of medicines, Mr. Liu." Liu Xi looked at Liu Ba below, and said gently: "For the matter of controlling the price of medicines, I will give you these life-saving things, they can't be so expensive."

Liu Ba bowed his hands and agreed.

Only then did Liu Xi look at Zhang Fei, and said, "Inspector Zhang, I heard that there is an act of hoarding this drug and driving up the price. I will leave it to Mr. Zhang to trouble you." Zhang Fei immediately agreed.

"Mr. Man, go all out to arrest those quack doctors and alchemists who fool the people and swindle money. As long as they are caught, they will be executed immediately!"

"Please!"

After ordering everything, Liu Xi ordered to leave the court.

Everyone left the temple with a dazed look on their faces. Today's emperor has put tremendous pressure on them and made them extremely afraid. When Cao Cao walked out of the hall, he still lowered his head. Just now, after retreating from the court, Liu Xi He was left behind, but without waiting for Cao Cao's explanation, he just threw a sentence at him, as long as you can convince Guo Jia, let Guo Jia continue to serve as Minister of the Book, and I hope Duke Cao can think more before doing something, don't be casual And for.

Cao Cao frowned, the damn headache came up again at this moment, making him extremely anxious.

Before entering the main hall, the three princes gathered at the door with their cronies, and went in one by one, but when they came out, the three princes left alone, and the rest of the ministers did not dare to go to them again. , today's Sangong, whether it is seniority or reputation, is too high, it is time to suppress, and this time the suppression will make the three of them suddenly become lonely, isolated and isolated in the temple. .

Is the era of Yankang's new officials coming so soon?
　There will be an internship mobilization meeting, so update it in advance to avoid failure to update.
