Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 954
After the ceremony was over, Liu Qu went to meet several generals in person and greeted the soldiers before returning to the palace. It shows that this grand ceremony lasted for a total of [-] days before it ended. The grand ceremony that the emperor made on the spur of the moment was an astonishing success.

For a time, the economy of the entire Sili area rose rapidly, and there were more vendors in various places, and Gengzu became more busy. Similarly, for nearly a month, the people of the big Han people were discussing this matter, talking about it. Looking at the mighty army of the Han Dynasty and talking about all kinds of extraordinary masterpieces, the common people were both happy and proud. Zhuge Liang himself did not expect that this grand ceremony could play such a huge role.

Gather the hearts of the people in the world, and invisibly deter the enemies of the great man.

Zhuge Liang came to visit the emperor again, but this time, he did have a bit of joy on his face. Liu Qu looked at him carefully, and made sure that Linggong didn't come to scold him, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Zhuge Liang admired him very much, he was still his elder, even if he taught himself every day, Liu Qu was helpless, so whenever Zhuge Liang wanted to reprimand him, Liu Qu would choose to avoid it.

"Your Majesty. This grand ceremony was very successful. Just like His Majesty, I can feel that I am getting older, but I can't find out what His Majesty is thinking. I thought that Your Majesty just likes to be lively and wants to have fun. No Think about it." Zhuge Liang shook his head, Liu Qu cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "As the Son of Heaven, how can I think about playing every day?"

"However, Your Majesty, I found two big problems in this grand ceremony." As Zhuge Liang said, Liu Qu's face turned pale again, and he was about to run away, but Zhuge Liang, who was familiar with him, grabbed him. He held his hand and said seriously: "First of all, it is the problem of the road. I feel that the road is too congested, and a separate mansion must be set up. This matter has also passed the resolution of the Three Orders, and Lu Su has been recommended."

"Okay, okay, very good, what Ling Gong said is very reasonable, and the road problem should indeed be solved!" Liu Qu said seriously.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. The candidate for the road mansion is Lu Su. Lu Su is quite talented. However, I don't know if he can solve the road problem accurately. I want to recommend someone. Here He is called Ma Di, let him be his deputy."

"What?? Ma Su???"

"Ma Di's exaggerated words should not be used to great effect. You should check it out!!" Liu Qu called out. Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded when Liu Qu said this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty has never seen him before. Why did Pu She say the same thing?"

"Oh, Mr. Ling, don't ask me any more. Anyway, if you trust me, don't use him. This person is useless, let Lu Su come. I trust Lu Su, Lu Su." Liu Qu frowned, After thinking for a while, he said: "... Su is a strict person, less than playful, frugal inside and outside, not doing good things, and rectifying the army, and prohibition must be enforced. , Sidu Hongyuan, with extraordinary insight, Zhou Keke, after three orders, Su is the crown!"

This time, Zhuge Liang was really shocked. He stared blankly at the emperor in front of him, stared blankly at the emperor for a long time, and then asked, "What does Your Majesty think of Wei Yan and Wei Jun?"

"Wei Yan took the responsibility of bravery, and valued it. He watched his actions, followed his rules, and blamed himself for misfortune."

"This, Your Majesty, what do you think of me?"

"The three decrees of ordering the public are: comforting the people, showing rituals, making appointments with officials, obeying the power system, being open and sincere, and imparting justice. Those who are in love must be explained no matter how important they are, and those who make clever rhetoric must be killed no matter how light they are; goodness is insignificant but not rewarded, evil is insignificant but not belittled, common things are refined, physics is fundamental, names are responsible for the truth, hypocrisy is not contemptible, and finally the state domain Inside, one fears and loves it, and although the punishment is severe but has no complaints, it is clear to persuade and discipline because of its peace of mind.”

"It can be said that Guan and Xiao Zhiya are excellent talents of knowledge and governance, but then"

"Your Majesty, but it doesn't matter!"

Liu Qu suddenly laughed and said, "I'm a junior, how can I comment on my elders? It's all nonsense just now, don't take it to heart, Mr. Ling, but I really respect you. Mr. Ling??"

Liu Qu was surprised to find that Zhuge Linggong, who has always been calm and calm, had tears in his eyes at this moment. Liu Qu seemed a little flustered, and was about to ask, but Zhuge Liang shook his head. Ah, I never thought that Your Majesty would value this minister so much, and have such a high opinion of him. If it was described in the history books after his death, then he would be so ashamed that no one can see him. This is too much, too much. .”

Liu Qu was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No, you are like that, Mr. Ling, and it will definitely be written like this in the history books."

"Hahaha", Zhuge Liang laughed, as if he just met the emperor today, he didn't say anything, bowed to the emperor, and said: "The second thing is that I want to set up a mansion to manage merchants. It is specially used to maintain the order of the market, not to manage like Geng Zuo, but to "

"Hey, Mr. Ling, you can handle these matters by yourself. I completely trust you, Mr. Ling, and you can decide everything yourself!" Liu Qu said hurriedly, Zhuge's bright spot Nodded, left here, walked directly to the Hall of Houde, walking on the road, Zhuge Liang laughed from time to time, it turns out that he has always underestimated the present day, did not expect that His Majesty has such an ability to know people .

Leaving aside the evaluation of myself, the evaluation of Lu Su and Wei Yan is not like the evaluation that a young man who has just won the crown can give, it seems to be an old political history. The Great Confucianism, looking at their lives, gave an accurate evaluation, which really surprised Zhuge Liang, and at the same time felt a little regretful in his heart. If the emperor went to rule history, I am afraid that there will be another great historical work handed down to future generations!
Thinking this way, when he returned to Houde Hall, Pang Tong hurriedly asked: "How is it? Has Your Majesty agreed?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I agree, next, let's talk about this road."

"You look, why is something wrong?"

"Hahaha, it's nothing, it's just that, I suddenly realized that I underestimated a person, and a huge rock in my heart has also fallen. It seems that I don't have to worry about the future." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, and did not continue Said that he and the other two began to discuss the situation about the road.

At this time, Lu Su also received an order from the temple, asking him to go back to serve as a servant. Lu Su was a little surprised. During the period of Emperor Xiaode, because he supported Pang Tong, he was not liked by the emperor. For such a long time, he He has always been in the local area, has governed politics, led the army, and done many things. He never thought that at such an age, the temple would suddenly want to go back by himself. Lu Su was not excited about this, nor did he get rid of this situation. The sense of relief of "exile" in disguise.

Lu Su was still thinking about the newly established Communications Mansion. He had long seen the importance of roads to the place. However, he did not have much attainment in this area. It was mainly Sun Quan and Pang Tong who were able to return to the temple. He has a very good relationship with Pang Tong, especially Pang Tong. Will he participate in the so-called struggle in the temple when he returns this time?
Thinking about this, Lu Su set off for Luoyang.

During this period of time, Sanling was still discussing road matters, and the canal was still being dug. As for the emperor, he also found new fun. Qu called to the palace. Liu Qu liked this humorous old man very much. He also told a lot of jokes at the ceremony, which Liu Qu found very interesting. In addition, he also gained some other benefits.

When the old man came to the palace, he was not afraid. Just looking at his face, he would never have thought that he is the master joker who is now famous as a big man. Handan Chun paid homage to the emperor, and Liu Qu rushed him Helped him up and welcomed him to the Tai Palace, the two sat down, Liu Qu said with a smile: "I have heard of the old man's name for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet you, but the state affairs are busy, so there is really no Chance."

"Caomin is just an ignorant person, Your Majesty, don't do that." Handan Chun was a little surprised at the emperor's enthusiasm, and quickly declined. Liu Xi shook his head and said some jokes about Handan Chun. After talking for a while, Liu Qu had already It was because of the old man's seriousness that he bent down with a smile and chatted for a long time before Liu Qu said: "By the way, I have sent people to inquire about what you said earlier, old man. Indeed, the county magistrate of Zhongmou has embezzled A lot of money, damn it, but how do you know, old man?"

"Oh, it's like this. One day he invited me to his house, but I refused to go. Then the man said, "I'll invite me to come with a thousand pieces of gold." Underestimating me, I was so angry that I went to his mansion at that time, trying to tell him a few jokes and make him laugh. But in the end, he didn’t give me his daughter, but ah, his mansion is luxurious, but In Zhongmou, he has six properties, which is incredible."

Liu Qu wanted to laugh, but couldn't. After thinking for a moment, he said angrily: "He is right under my nose, why can you see that he is wrong, but my gang of ministers can't see it?" out??"

"Your Majesty, those who can use thousands of gold to make others open their mouths will naturally be able to use thousands of gold to make others shut up."

"No!!", Liu Qu stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Come here! Change some clothes for me!!" As he spoke, he looked at Handan Chun at the side, and said with a smile, "Old man , I want to take a walk around the place myself, can you accompany me? I also like to hear, how many jokes are there in this big man in this Sili area!!!"

"Thank you."
