Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 941
In the 26th year of Yankang, in December, there was a strong wind that swept Sili, and there were many figures in the wind.

In the 27th year of Yankang, in the first month, there is a blood moon in the sky, which is an ominous sign.

In the 27th year of Yankang, in February, there was a sky fire falling in Sili, and there was a cry at the place where it fell.

Inside Houde Hall, the candles flickered.

Liu Xi squinted his eyes and looked at the performances from various places. Now he can't see these documents clearly. Even if he is very close to the candle, he still can't see clearly. This situation made Liu Xi understand again. I am no longer the energetic young man I used to be. He is already very old. Time flies so fast that Liu Xi can't react quickly. Every day life is caught in an endless loop. From Houde Palace to the Harem, From the harem to the Hall of Houde, I rarely leave the palace.

In such a cycle, time flies so fast, and the 26th year of Yankang is almost at the end, and the emperor, his beard has turned white, sitting in the hall of Houde, and spent another difficult night, Liu Xi carefully completed the review of many memorials. The territory of the Han Dynasty is getting wider and wider, and there are more and more temple departments. Under such circumstances, Liu Xi needs to process thousands of memorials every day. With Pang Tong's help, time is usually not enough.

Just this year, Pang Tong was exhausted beyond human form. As for Liu Xi, he was used to it. The workload he had to deal with was more than ten times that of Emperor Xiaokang. In some respects, he was indeed far superior to his father and grandfather. The industrious son of heaven, since he ascended the throne, he has spent almost all his life in this not-so-luxury hall. When he was young, in order not to cause waste, he would light fewer candles, and by the moonlight, Sitting by the window to review playlists is now impossible.

Putting down the memorabilia in his hand, Liu Xi suddenly fell into deep thought, he couldn't go on like this, he himself could endure such labor, but Hu'er, and Ah Shi, could they endure such labor?Sitting motionless in the Hall of Houde every day, I think that the big man in the future will have more and more things, and the emperor will be busier. I still have to find a way to reduce their workload, but this batch of reading lists is originally for them. One control of the world, how to solve this problem?
Sitting by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, Liu Xi thought hard, maybe some internal officials could be set up beside the emperor?Just like Emperor Xiaowu's time, make some changes?Liu Xi thought for a while, then couldn't help but shook his head. This is inappropriate. In Houde Hall, it is best not to let too many people intervene. Then, maybe we can make a fuss about Shi Zhongtai. If we expand the number of Shi Zhongtai So how to check and balance Shizhongtai?If all the performances fell into the hands of Shi Zhongtai, it would be a disaster.

Liu Xi frowned, and suddenly had an idea. Perhaps, he could expand and restrict the Shizhongtai to a certain extent. The right of independent review makes them become the pens in the hands of the emperor, who can provide reference for the emperor and carry out the review under the behest of the emperor. Liu Xi gradually has some ideas in his mind, but it is still not perfect.

Thinking about these contents, Liu Xi walked out of Houde Hall. Qi Yue was waiting outside the door. Qi Yue was also used to the emperor's routine. In the past, at least there was a queen who could persuade the emperor to rest earlier, but Now that the queen is not around, no one has come to persuade the emperor. The emperor is often busy all night in the Hall of Houde, and no one can persuade him. This makes Qi Yue a little uneasy. In his heart, he still I am very worried about the emperor.

Liu Xi walked out of Houde Hall and walked towards the harem. After sending the emperor into the harem, Qi Yue left. Liu Xi sat alone on the bed with a dull expression, looking around blankly, with The queen's smile, no one was sitting on the bed waiting for him, no one was persuading him to go to bed earlier, no one could listen to his complaints, Liu Xi sat silently on the bed, feeling the An unprecedented loneliness.

He knows the feeling of loneliness, he has always been lonely, but when the last person willing to listen to his complaints also left, Liu Xi just realized the real loneliness, how many times have he been busy in Houde In the hall, I ignored the one who was sitting on the bed, waiting for his lover, but now Liu Xi regretted it, even if he had a little free time, how could he say a few more words to her?

When the son woke up from his thoughts, he hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face.

He is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven does not cry.

The next day, the emperor woke up very early, and when he arrived at Houde Hall, Pang Tong hadn't arrived yet, but Qi Yue had already retrieved the memorials from various places, and the memorials were piled up in Houde again. Inside the hall, Qi Yue felt a headache looking at those performances, and he didn't know how the emperor endured it. While eating, Liu Xi looked at the performances from all over the place. These performances can make Liu Xi feel better , he watched the Han Empire usher in its most glorious moment.

In the field of farming and mulberry, Deng Ai is doing his best to promote advanced farm tools and Yankang rice. It is said that they have also obtained some new crops from Anxi. Deng Ai is trying to plant them. Yankang rice is a good thing. It can grow in an extremely harsh environment. For Liu Xi, it is like a gift from heaven. Dahan needs this thing very much. With the efforts of Deng Ai, the cultivation of Yankang rice has begun in all parts of Dahan. Especially outside the Great Wall, Yankang rice has achieved an excellent harvest.

These are all good news. The taxation of the great man, farming, mulberry, commerce, handicrafts, medicine, overseas, military, in all known aspects, are constantly improving and developing. All of them have shaped the greatness of an empire. In front of the big man, the foreigners around him are like uncivilized tribes. The big Han people completely look down on them. The big man has the most advanced everything, and in all aspects, the big man is the most powerful.

I heard that outside of Guishuang, there is a country called Anxi. The Northern Army just wandered around the border of Anxi. The newly established new country there immediately sent a group of envoys to visit the great emperor of the East. The great empire in the east, and the news that this empire destroyed Guishuang within a year made these barbarians who are also big countries tremble with fear. They think they are stronger than Guishuang, but they don’t think they will be better than Guishuang. How much stronger.

And after those foreigners came to the big man, saw the road of the big man, saw the houses, cities, people, and various fields of the big man, they were completely shocked. In these years, there are more and more foreign students in Taixue. For those foreign students who have become successful, Dahan also spares no effort to keep them, no matter where they come from, so attracting a large number of capable people from all over the world, which makes those foreigners who know the situation in Dahan even I dare not be angry.

They are envious, but they can't learn.

I heard that Anxi also wanted to set up several schools, but in the end, these schools became a place for nobles to debate and duel, and did not train decent students at all. In the south of Guishuang, several small countries connected to Jiaozhou , In order to build the same road as the big Han, the whole family and country collapsed. The king desperately asked Jiaozhou Mu to borrow money and grain, which made the officials of the big Han dumbfounded, and lent them some money on the condition that the Han army entered.

Under the foundation laid by Emperor Xiaokang, inherited and carried forward by Emperor Xiaoxian, and under the full development of today's sons, today's big Han has finally become truly strong. Three generations of emperors, countless sages, nourished with their blood The soil of the big man was destroyed, and a piece of sky was propped up for the big man with their bodies.

Liu Xi had been busy for a long time, and Pang Tong had just entered the Hall of Houde and paid his respects to the emperor, and then he hurriedly began to review today's performance list. The order of servants was probably the busiest one among the three orders. Watching Pang Tong process the performance list, Liu Xi said calmly: "Perhaps, it's time for the servants to recruit more staff, but ah, this matter of reviewing is very important. You can ask them to write for you, and you can listen to their suggestions, but you can't let them be independent. What do you think of the review?"

Pang Tong was stunned, then nodded, he should have done this a long time ago, otherwise he would die of exhaustion in Houde Hall sooner or later, with so many performances, I don’t know if the officials of the big man have nothing to do all day long, very To make so many suggestions, it is Zhuge Kongming. He has brought a different atmosphere to the big man. Inaction is a fault. Several times, everyone was keen to express their opinions, and Pang Tong cursed Zhuge Kongming secretly in his heart.

After finishing all today's affairs, Liu Xi looked at Pang Tong who kept beating the back of his neck, and said seriously: "How lucky I am to have the help of such sages, first Cao Gong, Liu Gong, Sun Gong, There is Guogong, Erxungong, and now there is Kongming, Shiyuan, and so many sages in the temple. Without you, how can the big man be as strong as he is today. These days, I really trouble you, Shiyuan , in a few more days, I have found some helpers for you, so you don't have to work so hard."

Pang Tong shook his head, looked at the emperor in front of him, and said with emotion: "The fatigue of the minister is nothing in front of your majesty. Your majesty leaves early and returns late. I am also very fortunate to be able to serve such a wise emperor. Your majesty governs diligently and has a heart. Limin, sympathize with the ministers. These words, the ministers don’t need to say too much, just talk about the things we have done, other than Your Majesty, what kind of emperor can allow these policies today, whether it is compiling the Han law or conquering outside the Great Wall, Or build a canal. Your majesty's courage and wisdom are unprecedented in the ages."

"The minister is not a flatterer, these words come from the heart."

"Well, that's a good compliment. I'll reward you with a day off tomorrow."

"Hahaha, thank you Your Majesty!!"

After Pang Tong was sent away, Liu Xi was still sitting in the Hall of Houde, looking at the military memorials that Pang Tong had no right to intervene in. The conflict between the Southern Army and the Northern Army has intensified in the near future. It seems that he still has to find a way. The big man is the most elite There must be no problems in the two military brigades! Liu Xi thought about these problems, and suddenly, a severe pain came from his heart, his eyes widened, and he covered his heart. On the watch, scarlet plum blossoms bloomed.
