Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 891
Liu Xi gradually recovered. The Son of Heaven came out of a desperate situation once again. He sat in the Hall of Houde with half-closed eyes, always holding a book in his hand. No one dared to look at each other, nor could he. No one dared to look at it. By his side, Sima Yi led the officials in Zhongtai and was reviewing the memorials sent from various places. Today is the most diligent government.

First, Situ Cao Gong said: I heard that at the time of Ren Temple, the inspections in the temple were transported by three carts, and at the time of Yi Temple, there were still two carts. This is the beginning of the prosperous age.

Probably, the emperor also started his strict requirements for handling government affairs from then on. Every day, the officials drove the horse-drawn carriages and delivered the memorials from various places to the Hall of Houde for the emperor to review and approve. Cao Situ used to His words were probably intended to encourage the emperor through Xiaokang's diligence, so that the emperor would not be lazy, but he probably did not expect that the emperor believed his words.

That's right, the three-carriage playlists were compiled by Cao Cao. Even if there were so many, the playlists at that time went directly to the Shangshutai and reached Wang Fu's hands, so the three-carriage playlists were actually reviewed every day. It should be Wang Fu, he just exaggerated a bit to persuade the king, but Liu Xi believed his nonsense, and since the third year of Yankang, he has reviewed two or three car performances every day, but never One day it will be deserted.

Sitting in the Hall of Houde, Sima Yi quickly completed the review of many memorials. The emperor was still very diligent, but since the establishment of the Three Orders, the emperor handed over part of the local review to the Shizhong Order for approval. In this regard, Sima Yi is obviously better than Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is good at everything, but he is too gentle with his courtiers.

Just say that in the past, the ministers often reported to the emperor, and the reports were full of idiots. When Guo Jia criticized them, he yelled at them directly, making these people unable to lift their heads, and even dismissing them from office, so that villains dare not However, Zhuge Liang did not dare to do this when he was serving as a servant. Fortunately, today's servant is not easy to get along with. Just relying on a few performances, you can see that he is a human being. , dismissed many mediocre people.

After completing the review again, Sima Yi slowly raised his head. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Liu Xi who had been staring at him. He was shocked, and quickly lowered his head. The emperor is as powerful as the emperor who is nearly forty years old. , became more terrifying, and his thoughts became deeper, Sima Yi thought to himself, since Emperor Shizu, only Emperor Xiaoming lived past the age of 40 among the emperors of the Han Dynasty.

Afterwards, the longest-lived emperor was Emperor Weizong, who lived to be thirty-six. As the number increased, Liu Xi became more and more unpredictable, and his words were domineering, and he already had the demeanor of an emperor through the ages.

"Your Majesty, Fuyu's report, those who have the remnants of Xianbei, robbed the Han caravan"

"Well," Liu Xi squinted his eyes, and then asked: "Then how do you think you should do it?"

Sima Yi thought quickly. He needed to think clearly about the emperor's thoughts. The emperor's behavior became more and more sophisticated. During this year, the emperor actually distributed part of the power in the temple to everyone. The supervisor Xun Gong, I have no worries, went to worship the martyrs several times, and carried out a series of personnel arrangements.

In Sima Yi's eyes, the Son of Heaven is more and more like a person, like a certain noble pavilion chief hundreds of years ago.Especially in terms of employing people, the Son of Heaven is very proficient, and all officials are in his hands, and he can use them freely. He is already a very powerful coachman. , for today's emperor, how should we answer?
"I think that these thieves dare to harm my merchants of the big man, and they should be punished!"

"Your Majesty, please send You Ning to garrison troops to suppress the bandits outside the Great Wall!"

Liu Xi nodded, but didn't speak, which made Sima Yi a little uneasy, "Zhongda, when I was young, I also went to Hebei. I don't know what's the situation in Xinerzhou?" When the Son of Heaven asked, Sima Yi could only answer: "Your Majesty, since General Duan conquered Xianbei, Duke Lu and Duke Yang have ruled the two lands. In recent years, there have been countless household registrations of fertile land here, reaching 320 million. All because of your majesty's virtue."

"In the past, it could only be used for animal husbandry. I heard that for animal husbandry, if there are fewer cattle and sheep, it will consume a hundred acres of land, but if it is cultivated land, five acres of land will be enough to run a family. What does Zhong Da think?"

Sima Yi hesitated for a moment, then immediately understood what the emperor meant, bowed again, and said, "Your servant has played!"

"Say."

"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to congratulate Xinbei, to reclaim the desert, to open up fertile fields, so that millions of people can live!"

Liu Xi still didn't answer, just smiled, and said just now: "You should play it out in the court council, and you need to discuss it with the ministers before you can act."

"Please!"

Walking out of the palace, Sima Yi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He sighed helplessly. Sure enough, the longer the emperor lived, the more difficult his temper would be. Seeing what the emperor meant, he wanted to congratulate him. , You, Ning, open up a new land. Of course, Sima Yi has to do the dirty work. He can already imagine that the controversy in the court meeting will arise again.

However, he is not afraid, now he has his back against the emperor, as long as he does not lose the favor of the emperor, no one can be his enemy, not even Zhuge Liang.

When he returned to the mansion, he began to think about the emperor's mind. It was just an ordinary looting incident. There were thieves everywhere. Why did the emperor go to war so violently, and even had the idea of ​​conquering outside the Great Wall?

Could it be? Sima Yi already had some ideas in his mind.

"What? Conquering the remnants of Xianbei?? Where did the remnants of Xianbei come from!"

Sure enough, when Sima Yi proposed in the temple to conquer the Great Wall and open up the territory, the ministers were astonished, and several ministers immediately stood up and scolded him. Among them, Liu Ba was the most resolute. Poor Liu Ba, who is not very young, His hair and beard are all white. In the temple, he may be the one with the most pressure. The pressure on the national treasury is very high. It is not easy to support Zhuge Liang's policies, and he still wants to fight? ? ?
Immediately, Liu Ba didn't care about the temple etiquette, pointed at the servant in front of him, and began to curse.

Sima Yi was quite calm. He just looked at Zhongshu Ling. Xun Yu was also shocked for a moment before he stepped forward to stop the quarrel. Opening his mouth, he said to the emperor seriously: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is now empty. Since the implementation of the law, it has cost a lot. How can the current treasury support a war?"

"If you insist on doing it, you can only collect more oral gifts from the people. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people and make the prosperity of the world disappear."

"Today's people are rich, can it be just some verbal gifts that can make the prosperous age disappear?" Sima Yi did not back down, and directly refuted. Although the disciples of these Wenren's families have inherited the talents of Wenren's very well, they have also inherited their talents. Wen Ren's preference, because Wen Rengong broke his family with Fu, so he especially hates Fu. This is why he cares so much about the treasury, because he doesn't want the emperor to put financial pressure on the people.

This habit is naturally learned by the followers of later generations. Today's Fu is the lowest in the history of the Han Dynasty, and the common people are rich. However, what Liu Ba said is a bit too much. How can taxation make them lose their homes in a short time?Now is not half a hundred years ago!

The crowd began to debate, Sima Yi didn't care about winning or losing, and kept arguing with them, even if they lost the debate, it didn't matter, after all, it was not others who decided whether they won or lost, but the emperor sitting in the top position, only the emperor could Decide which of them is right, and his proposal was made by the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xi just sat calmly, watched the group of officials arguing, and did not speak. After Xun Yu suppressed the quarrel of the crowd again, Liu Xifang said slowly: "Let the Northern Army send out three captains to gather at Congratulations, order the Southern Army to send out five school lieutenants to gather in Xin, and the prince will supervise the army and conquer outside the Great Wall." When the emperor said this, everyone was shocked, and when they were about to speak again to persuade, the emperor had already ordered to withdraw from the court.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty are the most good military exploits, and in the year of Yankang, the Han Dynasty rarely engaged in foreign wars. Finally, they waited for the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, which made the soldiers of the Northern and Southern Army extremely happy. The emperor gave an order, The ministers had no chance to refute and started preparations for the conquest. Liu Ba was so anxious that a few more wrinkles appeared on his face.

The happiest person is none other than Prince Liu Qu.

When Hu'er heard that he was going to go out with the army, he couldn't believe it for a while, because in these years, countless people have reminded him that as a prince, there is absolutely no chance to go out to fight, but this day So quickly, he who was still studying with Cui Yan in Taixue, heard the edict of the emperor, bid farewell to Cui Yan immediately, and rushed to the palace excitedly.

When he arrived at Houde Hall, he just calmed down. He knew that his father never liked to see himself getting carried away. When he walked into Houde Hall, he found that there were a few people in Houde Hall who didn't like him. The generals he knew, he met with these people one by one, and they also got up to return the salute, Liu Xi didn't look at him, but just gave these generals some instructions.

"Send more new recruits, don't be too hasty, training is important. The Northern and Southern armies have not participated in wars for a long time. This time, we must let them grow up. I'm afraid the war against Guishuang is not far away." Liu Xi said seriously It turned out that He Xin was just an appetizer outside the Great Wall, and the real battle was still in Guishuang.

As long as there is a battle to fight, they are extremely happy. This is a rare opportunity for them.

It seems that the day of Guishuang's destruction is not far away. Thinking that they may participate in the next few battles to destroy the country, these generals are so excited that they can't even speak.
