Chapter 961 Heaven is going to kill me
In October of the second year of Tianji, the queen gave birth to another son for the emperor, Hu Jian.

Liu Qu is naturally very proud of his twins. The eldest son Ashi is only three years old this year. He is very cute and has a tiger head. Liu Qu likes it very much. As for the second son Jian, he was stronger than his elder brother when he was born. The queen said He is exactly like my father. Liu Qu spends all day in the palace taking care of his two children, ignoring any government affairs. If this was in the period of filial piety, filial piety, and filial piety, the officials might have already gathered at the gate of the palace. Began to reprimand the emperor's behavior.

However, in today's temples, since the reform of the Shizhongtai, whether Liu Qu goes to the Hall of Houde has no effect. The Shizhongtai has been in the past two years, because Liu Qu is always reluctant to come. The Hall of Houde had no choice but to carry out a complete restructuring. The 27 important ministers in the temple formed the Shizhongtai, and Pang Tong was in charge of holding the Shizhong meeting. These important ministers became the ministers of the Shizhongtai. Minister of Zhongtai.

On weekdays, they consolidated the memorials from various places, conducted discussions, and then determined how to review them, but the court meeting gradually declined. When the court meeting was held, it was more important to put the things discussed by the ministers in the middle and Taiwan here. Discuss with each other, and let the officials exchange opinions to see if there is a better idea, but in fact, the officials are no longer able to interfere with the affairs of Shizhongtai.

The court council is in vain, and the power they have is to listen to the decisions of the ministers in the middle and Taiwan.

Liu Qu sat in the upper position bored in every possible way, still thinking about other things in his mind. Looking at the ministers in front of him, after Liu Yi opened his mouth to hold a court meeting, Pang Tong and other ministers in the middle and Taiwan immediately proposed the policies discussed earlier. out.

"Due to the promotion of iron farm tools and the world, the iron is gradually insufficient. Therefore, the temple is preparing to set up large factories in Ningzhou, Hezhou, Xinzhou, and Youzhou. It can accommodate tens of thousands of people, with vendors and residences. Several establishments are set up in these areas. Getie County. Same with salt tea, the temple will carry out large-scale centralized mining, planting, cultivation, casting, etc. of these materials in the next year!!"

"Absorb a large number of craftsmen from the artisan school and voluntarily absorb manpower from Guishuang and other regions."

"Solve the problem of the vagrant ranger!"

"Let go of the restrictions on merchants!"

"I will voluntarily immigrate from the Central Plains to the surrounding open areas, and I will give you a stable fee, and you will be given land for farming and Tianji. 60 people! 30 people will be relocated to Jiaozhou!"

Pang Tongyi said all these decrees, and all the officials just listened carefully. They all knew that all these decrees were reached after discussions with ministers in the middle and Taiwan. Even if they opposed it, it was useless. These ministers serving Zhongtai are the absolute core of the temple, but today's court meeting has gradually evolved into a formal thing, and it no longer has the original atmosphere.

If Wang Jiexin is reborn, I am afraid that no one will ask to cook Wang Jiexin at the court meeting. More than [-] ministers in the middle and Taiwan will gather together to discuss whether to cook Wang Jiexin. At the meeting, there was no Wang Jiexin.

The ministers didn't feel anything, anyway, their main duties are not in the court, they still have their own duties, and their own things to do, the only one who is alarmed is Zhongshuling Liu Yi. During the entire process of the court meeting, Liu Yi frowned and said nothing. He looked at the crowd coldly, but his heart was extremely anxious, and he hurriedly completed the court meeting. left here.

Just as he was about to get into the carriage, someone came up behind him. Liu Yi squinted his eyes and turned his head. It was Zhuge Liang who came. Zhuge Liang stood behind him and said, "It's been a long time since we had dinner together. Maybe it's time for me to eat together." Go to Zhong Shuling's mansion for a meal?" Liu Yi squeezed out a smile, and before saying anything, Zhuge Liang got into the carriage with him, Liu Yi didn't say anything, and the two sat in the carriage , the carriage slowly drove towards Zhongshu Ling's mansion.

"Liu Linggong. These days, in the Hall of Houde, you still don't say a word. It seems that you are not very happy in the court meeting. Why is this?"

Zhuge Liang has always been straightforward, so he asked undisguisedly.

Facing Zhuge Liang's questioning, Liu Yi was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm fine, it's just my body, and I'm not feeling well."

"Oh? So that's the case"

Zhuge Liang nodded, but didn't say much.

When the two returned to the mansion, Liu Yi still didn't say a word, and he didn't have any intention of getting close to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang didn't mind, so he sat down and had a meal with him. The two of them were eating, and Zhuge Liang just asked: " I think Liu Jun's appetite is normal, it doesn't look like there is any serious problem, could it be that I did something that disgusted Liu Linggong?"

Liu Yi squinted his eyes, threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said dissatisfied: "What else do I have to complain about? I am very happy now! I am so happy! Everything is done on the waiting table Internal discussion, what do you want me to do with the Zhongshuling?? The Chaoyi is useless, I will be idle all day long, so I just ban the Chaoyi and the Zhongshuling!! I can also resign and go home !!"

"I am the dignified grandson of Emperor Xiaokang, but I was bullied by the kings like this?! Could it be that the system of three orders is all empty?!" Liu Yi shouted angrily, looking a little hysterical, playing in the courtyard The two children were also frightened by the appearance of their father, and were taken out of the courtyard by the servants. Seeing Liu Yi's angry appearance, Zhuge Liang didn't know how to speak.

He came this time, after discussing with Pang Tong, he planned to change the date of the court meeting, and even to see if the usual court meeting could be abolished. After all, the ministers who could discuss things were gathered in the Hall of Houde. There was absolutely no need to waste time by holding a court meeting. He pondered for a while, but finally he did not hide it from Liu Yi. He said, "I dare not insult Liu Gong. In fact, I do have the idea of ​​delaying the meeting."

"I am the grandson of Xiaokang!! How dare you?!"

Liu Yi roared angrily.

Zhuge Liang looked at him calmly, shook his head, and said just now: "This is His Majesty's intention. I also received His Majesty's order. I hope that you will not blame me." After Zhuge Liang said this, he ignored Liu Yi's words. Angry, he left here directly. Liu Yi was still yelling angrily: "Where are you going to put me? I will never agree!! You go back and tell the emperor!! I won't do it!!"

In Liu Yi's anger, Zhuge Liang left anyway, and Liu Yi sat on the seat with blue veins on his forehead.

"Master, don't get angry. Didn't Dr. Zhang say that you are not allowed to get angry. What kind of court meeting is this? If you don't open it, you won't be able to open it. Anyway, the emperor can't abolish your position as Ling Gong." Zhang walked in distressedly. He walked to Liu Yi's side, and said with concern while cleaning up the dishes in front of him.

"What do you know?!", Liu Yi yelled angrily. Mrs. Zhang was taken aback by him. They had lived together for so many years, and this was the first time Liu Yi treated her so badly. Nothing happened, and I continued to clean up the dishes.

Liu Yi covered his head and sat on the Hu chair.

The young Chengwen wanted to go to his father, but his mother grabbed him, "Don't mess with that official fan, let him think about those things about fighting for power and profit!", Mrs. Zhang said, and took her son into the house. Liu Yi ignored the two of them, and sat in the courtyard like this. He sat for several hours. While sitting, a servant suddenly ran over, walked up to Liu Yi, and said, "Patriarch, There is a household servant who shoots Zhong Changtong to see him."

"Zhong Changtong? What did he come to visit me for?" Liu Yi frowned. He had no friendship with Zhong Changtong. Zhong Changtong's sudden visit made Liu Yi a little confused. He waved his hand. , "Let him in."

After a while, the servant brought Zhong Changtong into the place. When Zhong Changtong walked in with a smile and bowed to him, Liu Yi felt something was wrong. So polite?However, Liu Yi still put on a bad face and asked, "Mr. Zhongchang? Why did you remember to visit me? Now that I have lost power, the court council is useless, and there is no place for me in the temple. What are you doing here?" ?”

"Hahahaha~~", Zhong Changtong laughed out loud.

"Others don't know what Liu Linggong thinks, but I, Zhong Changtong, know it, and you don't have to pretend anymore!" Zhong Changtong said disdainfully, Liu Yi was taken aback, and asked back: "What are you talking about? I How do you not know?"

"Liu Linggong is not angry because of his own loss of power, but anxious because of the emperor's loss of power, right?" Zhong Changtong asked, and Liu Yi was shocked, "Don't talk nonsense, ministers serving Zhongtai are all loyal ministers of the country. Fighting for power with the Son of Heaven? If you talk so nonsense again, I'm afraid I'll send you to Man Gong."

"Liu Linggong, today's ministers serving the middle and Taiwan are not polite. They have become new ministers, ruling the Hall of Houde, the emperor, how much control does he have over state affairs, and the court council, Now it is also deserted. The emperor doesn't know anything at all, and he can't manage anything. Everything is in the hands of the ministers in the middle and Taiwan. As the clan, Liu Linggong is the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang. It's different from what ministers think"

"What about you? Could it be that you are also related to Emperor Xiaokang?"

"I don't have that honor, but I have a big man in my heart, and I have special admiration for Emperor Xiaokang. I can help Linggong, help the emperor's power, suppress the current officials, and let the emperor's prestige return to Xiaokang and Xiaoxian. Time!", Zhong Changtong said, and sat down in front of the stunned Liu Yi, took a glass of wine, which was exactly what Zhuge Liang had left, and Zhong Changtong drank it down in one gulp.

"Could it be, Mr. Liu, don't you want to do this? If things go on like this, after a hundred years, it will not be a meeting of the court, but the emperor, and the position of the emperor is useless. If the spirit of Emperor Xiaokang finds out, how sad it will be?"

Liu Yi sat on the top seat, gritted his teeth, his eyes became red, after thinking for a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Say, what should I do?!"

"Strengthen the power of the court council. Since the ministers of the court are disgusted with being big, we might as well use the emperor to strengthen the power of the council. For example, let the court have the power to elect the ministers of the court. In this way, the court At the same time, the ministers of Zhongtai are restricted by the imperial court, and Ling Gong, as the order of Zhongshu, can naturally govern the dismissal and promotion of the ministers of Zhongtai. Minister's Threat"

"Well," Liu Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized something was wrong, and suddenly threw the wine cup on the case at Zhong Changtong. He stood up and shouted angrily: "You Boy!! You are using me to destroy the big man!! You have evil intentions! Evil intentions!! Thief!!!”

He rushed towards Zhong Changtong suddenly, Zhong Changtong was slightly startled, and turned around and ran away, so he would not compete with a man of Liu Yi's physique.

Watching Zhong Changtong escape from the mansion, Liu Yi looked at his back angrily.

"They're all traitors. They're all traitors and a bunch of thieves!!"
