Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 86 Family, country and world, one word decision
The first year of Yonghan in the Han Dynasty, May [-]th, at dusk.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, the imperial city, Yongle Palace, is in the middle of the palace.

Liu Bei, who is straight and straight, looks like a poor dagger.

"I report to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager. Dong Ziyun's righteous heart is to rectify the court, the court is to rectify the officials, and the officials are to rectify the people'. The ministers deeply agree. Therefore, the merits of the two emperors should not be based on personal likes and dislikes. Evaluation should be judged by hundreds of officials, people and Qingshi."

Because of "respecting only Confucianism", Dong Zhongshu's status in the eyes of Confucians in the Han Dynasty was as high as that of the sages and saints.

The Son of Heaven established the legitimacy of the rule of the feudal dynasty because of the theory of the divine power of the emperor, and at the same time, he also had to undertake the responsibility of cultivating the people for good and good, which is called logical self-consistency.

Not only the emperor, but even ordinary people and things, good and bad judgments, the public will be more objective and closer to the truth than individuals.

None of the Dong family, He family, and Dian Shang Wenwu refuted the inference drawn by Liu Bei based on the viewpoints in "Chunqiu Fanlu".

However, everyone felt very awkward.

It is unimaginable, and in fact impossible, to let officials, big and small, or even foolish men and women in the countryside decide who the emperor should belong to.

If you think about it more deeply, and so on, every official must be evaluated by Wanmin, and that day will be impossible.

As the head of the officials, as the mentor of the evil disciples, Lu Zhi subconsciously felt that Liu Bei seemed to have premeditated, and even deliberately pushed the situation to this point.

If a hundred officials and people decide that a man of virtue and ability is the emperor, will the villains have the intention to replace him?
It's not impossible, such as Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty, a bloody lesson.

A teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime.

If that's the case, your reputation will be over.

It's too late to tell the evil disciples like the Bodhi ancestor: If you cause trouble in the future, just don't tell the master.

Seeing that Lu Zhi seemed out of control, Ma Rixun couldn't help asking: "Although this is said, it is not feasible."

Liu Bei turned to the other party: "The Taiwei thinks, where is it not feasible?"

"Not to mention that people cannot gather together, there are thousands of officials in the Han Dynasty, and they are located at the ends of the earth, and it takes time and effort to go back and forth."

Although there was no direct veto, the Taiwei raised a practical issue. Can't all the officials come here?

"The Taiwei's concerns are not unreasonable." Liu Bei nodded, and then said: "It's better to set some kind of restricted screening, which can not only avoid laborious labor, but also represent the people."

Ok?
Everyone was stunned, can they still do this?

Ma Rixun frowned, and asked, "Can Zhou Mu explain in detail?"

"Comparable to the Great Court Meeting, all officials with a rank of [-] shi and above are eligible to participate."

According to the salary at this time, officials with a rank of two thousand shi, the imperial court is above the school lieutenant, and the local government is above the county guard, and the total number of officials does not exceed 200.

Everyone suddenly realized, and couldn't help comforting a little.

Because officials with a rank of two thousand stones hold the power of the central and local governments, and belong to the elite at the top of the pyramid of the Han Dynasty.

It is the direct offline of the emperor's "daitian herdsmen". If they do not get the approval of these people, the emperor is a puppet and an empty shell.

The corners of Yang Biao's mouth twitched slightly. He is now a thousand stone, even if he wants to ask, he can only hold his nose and keep silent.

Liu Hong then asked: "Is this necessary?"

Liu Bei spread out his hands and said: You can do it.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law above couldn't afford to offend, so Liu Hong didn't say anything.

Ma Rixun asked again: "Before officials from all over the country come to Beijing, they can't be without a king for a day, what can they do?"

Even if what you say makes sense, even if there is a solution, it will take time to prepare, at least a month or two.

The practical problem still exists, who is the emperor during the preparation period?
Everyone nodded one after another: The head of the Han Dynasty cannot be vacant!
The more Dong listened, the more he felt at ease, and his expression was leisurely and content.

The more He listened, the more frustrated he became, and the sarcasm in his gorgeous attire seemed particularly ironic.

However, Liu Bei said: "Before the important ministers comment, it can be done as usual."

as usual?Do you mean Emperor Yonghan?

Amid everyone's doubts, Liu Bei turned to Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian, and said with a smile, "Emperor Guangxi rules the world, and the Empress Dowager is at court!"

"Wow!"

The important officials were caught off guard and were in an uproar.

"call!"

The Empress Dowager stood up in shock, her face full of disbelief.

"Ok?"

It took a while for Empress Dowager He to realize it, and then she was ecstatic.

This big-eared uncle is indeed loyal.

Dong raised his watch to persuade him, stared at Liu Bei and asked, "Why? Why not Emperor Yonghan?"

Liu Bei, who was confident in his mind, asked loudly: "The empress dowager's lesson! If the minister approves this form today, someone will make a second copy according to the law tomorrow. At that time, will the minister recognize it or not?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was enlightened.

Yes, if the legitimacy of the general's use of force to change the status quo is recognized, there will be ambitious people to follow suit in the future.

In this way, there will be endless troubles, and we must not admit it!
Lu Zhi was very pleased, but the evil disciples were very disciplined, so I wish you a helping hand as a teacher.

The head of the hundred officials, Grand Master Lu Zhi came out, and echoed: "I report to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, what Yongzhou Mu said, and I agree with you!"

He Jin made up for his mistakes, followed closely behind, and said loudly: "My minister, I also second my proposal!"

Yuan Ji didn't hesitate, and immediately stepped forward: "Minister, second!"

All the big shots said in unison: "The ministers and others, all seconded!"

This situation made Dong angry and angry, his hands and feet were cold for a while, and he was about to fall down, but fortunately the maid of the palace quickly helped him.

This situation made the Empress Dowager He have mixed feelings, the huge gap, the imperial power was lost and regained, her heart was sour, and she almost shed tears.

Zhang Rang quickly handed over Sipa.

Empress Dowager He choked with tears and said: "Everyone who loves you, you are all loyal to the monarch and the country. I am so relieved!"

All the ministers bowed together and saluted: "I am ashamed! Please take care of the queen mother's body!"

Yongle Palace is sad and happy, it can be said that the world is impermanent.

It's just that Yuan Ji doesn't quite understand, since Liu Bei's heart is for the Queen Mother, why bother?
He is not the only one who thinks this way, similar doubts linger in the hearts of many people for a long time.

It took Dong a while to recover. Facing the general situation, no matter how difficult it is to change her feelings, she lost her spirited look.

After making a gesture to see off the guests, the female officer immediately said that the Empress Dowager needs to rest.

But looking at his face, he clearly wanted to say: Everyone, get out of here!

Empress Dowager He, Liu Bian, and all the ministers saluted Mrs. Dong one after another, and exited Yongle Palace in an orderly manner.

"Liu Qing."

Empress Dowager He just wanted to talk to the most loyal Liu Bei, but she saw the female officer chasing her out.

"Uncle Huang, stay here!"

Hey, it's a bit interesting that the empress dowager is arrogant and then respectful.

Liu Bei bowed his hands to Queen Mother He, and then followed the female officer back to Yongle Palace.

After all, Mrs. Dong has been fighting for many years, and she was out of breath just now, so after she calmed down, she felt that she could not understand Liu Bei's operation.

Therefore, the female officer was sent to call the other party back.

Liu Bei still bowed respectfully to Mrs. Dong who was leaning on the couch: "Empress Dowager, are you feeling better?"

Dong thought about it and asked: "But Emperor Yonghan is young, so the emperor's uncle is biased?"

"Empress Dowager, this scapegoat, I will not take it back!"

"Oh, take the blame? Why?"

Liu Bei talked eloquently: "There was a thief under my rule, who wanted to steal the neighbor's iron pot, but took the blame away. When the incident happened and he was convicted, the neighbor got a good pot instead."

The rural stories told by the emperor's uncle were vivid and interesting, and the nine-year-old Liu Xie couldn't help listening.

After tasting it, Empress Dowager Dong suddenly asked: "You are not an outsider behind closed doors. If you have any doubts, please ask Uncle Huang to clarify my doubts."

"Excuse me, the Empress Dowager, I know everything."

"Since the emperor's uncle approves of Bian'er, why bother? Could it be that in the future, he wants to do Yihuo's business?"

Liu Bei said indifferently: "My minister, I don't bother to do anything about Yihuo."

Surprise flashed in Dong's eyes.

This uncle is not afraid, but disdainful, which means that the opponent has the strength to fight against and control the court.

Really ignorant and fearless, dare to say anything!
But it was this unscrupulous attitude that made Dong ask: "Xie'er, is there no possibility of becoming the Son of Heaven?"

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, in fact, with the grace of the late emperor, as far as the court situation is concerned, I am more optimistic about the Emperor Yonghan."

"Oh?!"

Dong sat up straight: "Is what the emperor said really true?"

"My lord, there is no need to lie."

Seeing the other person's eyes are firm, it doesn't seem to be deceiving.

Dong asked strangely: "Then, why don't you push the boat along the way and admit it?"

　Dear friends, go to bed early, go to bed early and wake up early to be healthy!
