Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 831 The Immortal Monarch
That's right, his method is Zhuge Liang.

Liu Xi looked at the hesitation of the crowd, frowned, and said: "If you don't want to share your worries, I won't blame you. If you don't want to, you can leave now. Don't stop." When the Son of Heaven spoke like this, the few people who were still a little bit withdrawn did not dare to leave, and could not share the worries for the king. What a crime it is!
As long as they shrink back, they are destined to bear this infamy, not to mention the ambitions in their hearts, even the books they have written, I am afraid that they will be burned, and the author of this book cannot share your worries , Then why are you reading this book? ?
Everyone got up one after another, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty will definitely live up to your expectations!"

After getting everyone's promise, Liu Xi laughed, "I am very pleased to have the help of all the gentlemen, come here! Serve dinner!", Liu Xi ignored everyone's refusal, and ate with everyone in Houde Hall After a meal, Houde Hall, who would have thought that one day the emperor would have a meal with him here, and this alone is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime. Everyone was eating, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

After the meal, everyone left. Liu Xi ordered Man Chong to make an agreement with the inn to arrange their daily life, and then let them leave. Of course, Zhuge Liang was still kept by him. Everyone knew that Zhuge Liang They came back not just for the sake of the law, but also to take over the position of Shi Zhongling. The news had spread a long time ago. What's more, when the emperor called them, he did so in private. Zhuge Liang was the only one. Came back with great fanfare.

This is where you can see the difference.

After everyone left, only Zhuge Liang was left beside him. Liu Xi's confidence and joy disappeared in an instant. Liu Xi sat in a lonely position, covering his forehead with his hands. The grief made Zhuge Liang feel a little distressed. Zhuge Liang sat beside Liu Xi and said, "Your Majesty, the dead cannot be brought back to life, so please mourn."

Liu Xi smiled wryly, slowly raised his head, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said, "I want to change my year name."

"Why is this?"

"Probably the year name of Yankang is not very good. My confidantes are leaving one after another. I can't bear it anymore. I want to change the year name."

"Your Majesty, most of the talented people in the court are veterans of the Xiaoxian period, and they are so old. This has nothing to do with the year or your Majesty." Zhuge Liang said, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty loves talents, The more talented a person is, the more His Majesty pays more attention to it. This is a good thing, but everyone who understands the Lord is a good person, but, Your Majesty must not ruin his body just because of the funeral."

"Hey, Kong Ming, you don't know. Sometimes, I really envy Yeye and my father. Yeye lives thirty to three years old, and my father lives thirty to seven years. And I, this year is already thirty years old. Second, my body is still very strong, hahaha, I really never thought that one day, I would hate my own health."

"Your Majesty, don't speak like that."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, there is still business." Liu Xi paused, and then said: "Kong Ming, I want you to serve as the order of servants. Originally, I wanted Zhongda to come. Because I feel that you are suitable for the position of Shangshu Ling, and Zhong Da is more suitable for serving as Shizhong Ling, but I also have my own ideas, Zhong Da's actions are not suitable for the current situation."

"Zhongda is very steady in his actions. He never advances rashly. Before he has a perfect plan, he will never implement it. Of course, once he makes a move, the matter will be resolved, but I can't give him so long to prepare. Today's Dahan, a brand new law is very much needed, and I let you come here mainly for the matter of the law."

Zhuge Liang nodded. After these years of innovation, many things have emerged. These things are unprecedented. The Nine Chapters of the Han Dynasty can no longer satisfy the current situation. The new law is imperative.

"Your Majesty, I am also aware of this point. When I was governing Yuzhou, I discovered that in recent years, various crimes have emerged one after another, such as smuggling and private minting. People are gradually pursuing money. As a result, many exiles, local officials, and corrupt officials are countless. Although the actions of the previous year have gained countless, it is inevitable that there will be more in the future."

Liu Xi recognized Zhuge Liang's words very much. He nodded and said: "I think so too, that's why I summoned such a group of talented people. The people I summoned today are all proficient in law. There are also different directions of research in law, but they may not be able to work together to write a new law if their ideas are not in harmony."

"What does your majesty mean?"

"I want you to be responsible for the revision of the law. As a servant of the order, integrate these people and revise it together. At the same time, as long as you can use it in the entire Sanling mansion, you can recruit it to your side. , edit it together, even if it is the power of the whole country, I will also compile this new law, Kong Ming, this matter is very important, I know that you not only read the classics of Confucianism, but also have attainments in governing the law , read a lot of books, that’s probably the case.”

"These things, I can rest assured that you are the only one. I hope that you can be fair and fair. Don't stand on the standpoint of scholars and celebrities, don't stand on the standpoint of wealthy families, you have to stand on the standpoint of a big man." , Compile the law, how to act in the interests of the big man, then how to compile it!", Liu Xi said solemnly.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and then asked: "What if it is not good for the emperor?"

"Hahaha~~", Liu Xi laughed loudly, and looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him, "Kong Ming, you are the only one who dares to ask me like this, because of this matter Ah, sometimes, when it is necessary to limit the imperial power, they are entangled in all kinds of ways, thinking of the big man on the one hand, but thinking of me on the other hand, they dare not disobey me, and dare not be ashamed of the big man."

Liu Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "But they don't have the guts to tell Zhenming, even those ministers in the temple who want to limit the imperial power don't dare to tell Zhenming that they are afraid that I will execute them, or they are afraid that they will kneel before the rape. In the Nitang, I don't understand, in their eyes, could it be that I am so intolerant??"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame them. This matter is not something that courtiers should discuss with the emperor. No matter who the emperor is, he will not approve of it. A wise man is like Emperor Xiaokang. When Emperor Xiaokang wanted to restore the position of prime minister, command the three princes, and share the power of the emperor, he was also scolded by Emperor Xiaokang and thrown into Sanhan, Ningzhou."

"During the time of Emperor Xiaoxian, there was also Prince Wang Yun who wanted to restrict the right to embroider clothes, and was thrown away to Fuyu."

"It's also because the two emperors were kind and didn't execute them. Before them, the courtiers who made such a statement were all doomed to die. The benevolence of Xiaowu, Xiaowen, and Xiaojing is the same. Today, I dared to talk about this with Your Majesty, but I am also ready to go to Jiaozhou, or Hezhou." Zhuge Liang said calmly.

Liu Xi shook his head slowly, and said: "You think badly, I am not Xiaokang, I am not Xiaoxian, I am not Xiaowen Xiaowu, I am Liu Xi, different from them, I will leave this matter to you, if If you think that restricting part of the imperial power is beneficial to the big man, then you can do it with confidence. The so-called law should not be a restriction on the bottom of the temple, but should be a restriction on everyone. I don’t know. After my death, there will be another What kind of emperor succeeds to the throne."

"One day, if a fatuous idiot comes here, wantonly taking money, returning gifts, and trying to destroy the hard work of three generations of my grandparents, I also hope that the law can restrain this idiot, so that he can't be presumptuous, You can't kill indiscriminately, you can't collect money, you can't build palaces recklessly, you can't kill outspoken ministers, you can't favor the harem, let women interfere in politics, don't let eunuchs interfere in politics, and don't make princes fight each other."

Liu Xi spoke slowly, Zhuge Liang stared wide-eyed, looked at the emperor in front of him, Liu Xi smiled calmly, and said: "Put all these in the law, one day, if the emperor violates these, I hope, Shi Zhongtai can stop his actions. Alas, in fact, I don’t know if a courtier can hinder a foolish king or tyrant, but if I do it, I can probably stop it.”

Liu Xi stood up suddenly, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said solemnly: "The beginning of the new law should be like this."

"This law is the decree of the 29 emperors of the Han Dynasty. In accordance with the ambitions of the 29 emperors, the descendants of future generations, no matter whether they are emperors or courtiers, must not violate them. Those who violate the orders of the 29 emperors are not worthy of being emperors!!!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened. This is the emperor personally giving the later courtiers a sword to limit the emperor!
"However, Your Majesty, if there are ministers who use this to murder the emperor." Zhuge Liang just said, Liu Xi said with a smile: "Then write these into the law as well. The usurper of the dynasty, the whole world will fight against it!"

Zhuge Liang was a little confused. What Liu Xi said had never appeared in the law, and everyone was taboo, but Liu Xi dared to say it so openly. Liu Xi said again: "After the law is written, Afterwards, they will be sent to government schools for the students to learn, and when everyone has learned the law and acted according to the law, the great man will be forever safe."

Zhuge Liang suddenly bowed in front of Liu Xi, bowed his hands and said:
"Your Majesty is wise!!"

Liu Xi quickly helped Zhuge Liang up, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, you have to compile it carefully. This law was the foundation of my great Han Dynasty for thousands of years. If you can't compile it well, I will follow the example of my father and ancestors and let the law be compiled." You go to Ningzhou to catch fish!"

"Hahaha, it's just right, Your Majesty, the big fish in Ningzhou have dragon whiskers, and the taste is delicious. When the time comes, I will send some big fish to Your Majesty!"
