Zhang Buyi's attitude made Liu Chang a little unnatural. Of course, his policies are very good, but they are immature. Many of them are pieced together randomly, and may not be suitable for the current era. Even if they are suitable, they cannot be directly implemented. There are many things that need to be agreed upon, and they need to be improved, and consider how to implement them, etc. Usually, it will take at least two or three years to fully implement a policy in the Han Dynasty, let alone so many things.
Of course, Zhang Buyi didn't care about this.
Liu Chang stopped Zhang Bumi, then looked at the many papers in front of him and said seriously: "Although I am very wise, these can change the policies of the Han Dynasty, after all, those stupid ministers are still to be implemented. These ministers cannot fully understand what I mean. They are afraid that they cannot do well, so they still have to choose useful ones, improve, find a proper way of promotion, and then implement them by the ministers!"
"Your Majesty is right! The ministers in the court are all stupid and incompetent. How can you understand Your Majesty's intention? If you know the second and third, you are already famous ministers. The main reason is that Your Majesty's ability is far superior to the holy kings and ministers in ancient times..."
"Okay, okay, no doubt, come and help me see what can be implemented and what needs to be improved..."
Zhang Buyi never refutes His Majesty, but he will not take credit. He knows how to do so that His Majesty can achieve his goals. This is the most important thing. As for whether the person who plays an important role here is himself, Zhang Buyi does not care at all.
He didn't even go to look through these things, and replied: "Your Majesty, the designated policy is not the strength of my minister. This matter can be left to Chao Cuo. The policies formulated by Chao Cuo are all feasible. If he can improve it and Jia Yi can implement it, then things can be accomplished."
Liu Chang hesitated a little, "Chao Cuo is still busy with the river water here..."
"I am willing to go and come with Shen Tu Jia to control the river, so that Chao Cuo can come back temporarily to do a major event for His Majesty!"
Zhang Buyi was very determined.
"But your body..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm tough!"
Zhang Buyi pounded his chest, full of confidence, and Liu Chang had no choice but to agree, "Okay, then send someone to call Chao Cuo... Don't leave first, I have other things to discuss with you."
After sending someone to invite Chao Cuo, Liu Chang talked about another thing, which is equally important, that is, the matter of Prince Liu An. The prince is currently assisting Liu Chang to deal with matters of big and small, that is, to run errands for Liu Chang. On the one hand, he stole Lu's work, while Liu Chang intends to improve the current crown prince system.
"After this accident, the prince was unable to take on the great responsibility. I have thought about it. This is because my father and others did not formulate a good transition policy."
"When my brother was the crown prince, there were only dozens of scholars around him, all of whom were useless. Now I have given An a mansion by myself, but there are still too few people around him and there is no real power... The replacement of the throne is also a big event. The eldest son succeeds the throne, no legitimate establishes the eldest son, no son and no brother succeeds, no brother and no brother inherits the elder brother, no brother adopts the elder family... This set must be fixed, and the prince's power issues are also very complicated..."
"If it is too strong, I will be worried that there will be a dispute between father and son, or even the prince usurping the throne in the future. If it is too weak, and like before, the prince will not be able to settle down after the emperor's accident..."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Topics like this are usually extremely sensitive. Few ministers are willing to get involved, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble for themselves. The emperor will basically not mention such topics to the ministers. But Zhang Buyi is not an outsider, and he is not afraid to talk about these things.
"Your Majesty, I think... You have made a great concession now that you have let the prince open the mansion. If you continue to strengthen it, you can only focus on military power, but military power cannot be distributed to the prince. Once you have such a precedent, the problems you are worried about will definitely arise in the future... I think we should find a way from Zongzheng... The royal family is the most powerful force, and the inheritance has a huge impact on the royal family..."
The two started talking about this matter. After chatting for a long time, Chao Cuo arrived.
"His Majesty!
”
Chao Cuo paid homage to Liu Chang and Zhang Buyi.
"Come on, you can finish reading these things first."
Liu Chang pointed to the documents in front of him and continued to talk to Zhang Buyi. Chao Cuo had to pick up the papers and look at them one by one. The more he looked, he became more and more surprised and even a little excited. He didn't know what he remembered, so he asked his close servants to get him paper and pen and start writing. Perhaps because he was tired of sitting, the guy lay politely on the side, looking around and writing. Liu Chang could only think that he couldn't see his rude behavior.
"rude!
!”
Lu Jia shouted angrily and just whipped Chao Cuo out of his thoughts. Chao Cuo was shocked and threw the pen out of his hand. The pen flew out directly and threw it on Lu Jia's face, throwing a beautiful ink flower. Lu Jia was very calm, only Liu Chang, who was not a human, lowered his head and smiled secretly.
Chao Cuo stood up angrily, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? How can you lie in front of His Majesty?!"
Lu Jia came to discuss major issues with Chang Liu. As soon as he came in, he saw Chao Cuo sticking his butt and lying on the ground, looking irrespectful. As Fengchang, who is in charge of temple etiquette, he couldn't stand this and immediately scolded him.
Chao Cuo walked aside cursingly and continued to write.
Lu Jia glanced at him, suppressed his anger for a while, and walked to Chang Liu to pay homage.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here?"
"His Majesty!"
Lu Jia frowned and said angrily: "Your Majesty is only concerned about Shangfang and the farming and sericulture. My memorial has been on the 20 days since I submitted it and I have never replied. I have come to ask clearly!"
"Ah? Your comment?"
Liu Chang was stunned, "Ah, I read it. You wrote it well, well... I haven't finished reading it yet, so I didn't reply..."
Lu Jia didn't believe his trick and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, as the calendar is prosperous today, and the calendar and Lejin are chaotic. The Han Dynasty is strong and cannot just farm and fight. The many etiquette regulations of the Han Dynasty are also very important. China is a country of rituals and music, so how can we underestimate it? In today's Yuefu, poetry is frequently published and various formats are chaotic, which needs to be sorted and included. As for the calendar, the calendar adopted in different places, and the original calendar also has many loopholes. The so-called calendar is the fundamental fundamental that concerns the Han Dynasty..."
Lu Jia was very displeased with Liu Chang's contempt for these aspects. Liu Chang despises etiquette and law, and even despises these cumbersome things, believing that these are not important things in governing the country.
Liu Chang had so many things to do at this moment, and he had no intention of arguing with Lu Jia. He smiled and said, "You are right, let's leave this matter to you. Please do your best and do it as soon as possible. At that time, I will have a reward!"
Lu Jia pursed his lips, "Your Majesty must let Zhang Xiang take charge of this matter."
"Isn't it enough for you to do it yourself? Zhang Xiang has so many things to do, so where can he get out of the way?"
"This matter...this..."
Lu Jia didn't know what to say. If this matter was so easy to handle, he wouldn't have played it. Calendar, music, etiquette, these are the most important things, and they can't be drafted easily. He wanted to do it himself, but he had to do it too! In the past, those who could handle such things were all people who were called!
All over the world, only the Prime Minister Zhang Cang has conducted in-depth research on these things, and can be formulated and issued in combination with the present.
Zhang Buyi cleared his throat and whispered in Liu Chang's ear: "Your Majesty, this matter is a bit difficult."
“How difficult is it???”
"Maybe even my father can't do it..."
Chang Liu was shocked, so difficult to deal with???
He then looked at Lu Jia, and his face became much more serious, "Okay, then you go and find Zhang Xiang, I will let him be responsible."
Lu Jia achieved his goal, but he was still a little unhappy. He thanked Liu Chang, looked at Chao Cuo again, snorted disdainfully, and turned and left.
Chao Cuo finally finished reading the things, got up hurriedly and patted his body.
"Your Majesty, these are all you think of???"
Chao Cuo had a strong intuition in formulating policies, unlike Zhang Buyi. After reading them, Zhang Buyi only felt that these things were chaotic... Unfathomable, and they were not something that ordinary people like him could understand. But after reading them, Chao Cuo immediately absorbed a lot of useful things from them. He was surprised to find that the policies written by the emperor were all useful policies. Of course, this can be used does not mean that the great man can use them directly now.
Instead, these policies have certain feasibility, certain effects, and can even be implemented in combination.
Many policies are very advanced, and may not be suitable for today's great men, but they will have no problems in the future.
Chao Cuo couldn't believe it, it was all the one emperor could think of.
Even he can't do this, no, it's not him, no one can do this.
The recognition of professionals is often more pleasant than the flattery of those two knives.
Liu Chang's face suddenly became very proud, "Yes, I have all drafted them myself! Each one is what I have come up with, not just these, I have many more here. If you want to read them, I can write them to you tomorrow!"
Chao Cuo shook his head, "Your Majesty is really a god!"
"Hahahaha, too good, too good!"
"Let me do this, I will leave these policies to you. Let Zhang Buyi take care of your affairs on your behalf for the time being!"
Chao Cuo quickly bowed, and the two sat around Liu Chang. Chao Cuo talked about his initial ideas. Among Liu Chang's many ideas, Chao Cuo felt that only the policy of promoting officials was the most suitable for the present and could be promoted quickly, because the Han Dynasty currently has sufficient young talents, and these young talents cannot be directly promoted to high positions, but they can still fill the gaps at the bottom. It is completely feasible to recruit vacant positions through assessment.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Longxi is now in ruins. I have submitted a memorial before, and I can re-establish one..."
Liu Chang cleared his throat and asked, "Oh? I just ordered not long ago, why do you think the same as mine?"
"This... I'm just lucky."
The three of them talked for a long time and finally decided to implement it. Then Chao Cuo said goodbye and left with Zhang Buyi.
"You are so good lately. Finally, you have learned how to talk to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is a god."
Zhang Buyi took the initiative to speak to Chao Cuo, his eyes full of praise, and he was very satisfied with his performance today.
Chao Cuo shook his head, "I don't mean to flatter you. Your Majesty's policies... How to say that, when the Han Dynasty was just established, the Marquis of Qing established the Han Dynasty, with a total of three politics, and was able to establish a country. Moving forward, Fan Ju, Lu Buwei and Li Si and the three of them established a government one after another, and they were able to establish a country. Qi had Guan Zhong and Wei had Li Li, each of them set a government one after another, but now the Marquis of Your Majesty's policies are dozens of times that of the Marquis of Qing... Can you believe it?"
Zhang Buyi didn't hesitate at all, "I believe it."
"Um??"
"Your Majesty's talent is unprecedented. Even if those people just added up, they are not as good as your Majesty."
Chao Cuo grew up and looked at Zhang Buyi, and looked up and down for a long time, but finally closed his mouth. There was no way to communicate with such people.
"I won't talk about the other things. The officials' policies must be implemented first. Zhang Xiang still has to be responsible for this matter. Only he can implement them at the best..."
"I'm afraid it won't work. Lu Jia just asked him to be responsible for formulating the calendar. He will not be able to help you with other things in the short term."
"What?!"
Chao Cuo was furious and cursed angrily: "The old ministers left by Emperor Gao are all in the lake, a group of old lakes! I don't know what to say, and I care about some untuned things all day long, but no one cares about the real big things. Is his musical matter really more important than selecting officials? Is it because I am young but not grandchildren, and I am old but not dead, and I am a thief!
”
"Confucius is really not wrong, these immortal thieves!
”
Zhang Buyi's expression was a little uneasy at this moment. He looked at the distance in horror and shook his head at Chao Cuo.
Chao Cuo turned his head unhappily and saw the Grand Marshal Han Xin standing not far away with Chen Ping, looking at him quietly.
Zhang Buyi hurriedly said, "Then I'm going to do the river affairs! Goodbye!
”
After saying that, he turned around and left here.
At the entrance of the palace, there were only three people left, looking at each other silently.
.........
"Master?!Qu Nihou??Why are you here?"
President Liu stood up and greeted the two with a smile. He kept secretly looking at his master. For some reason, his teacher has always been close to Chen Ping over the years. It is said that the two of them still go to each other's residences to pay their respects from time to time. Are you two mortal enemies? When did the master become so generous? Could it be that it was the descendant of Yunmengze?
The two of them sat down slowly, and Chen Ping said, "I happened to meet the Grand Marshal when I went out, so I was taken here by him."
Liu Chang looked at Han Xin on the side. Han Xin looked coldly and said, "It's still a matter of body poisoning. I need someone to give me some advice."
"Oh...you said."
Now due to the change of the situation, Han Xin decided to adjust his strategy for the sacrificial destiny. At present, many countries with the sacrificial destiny have begun to establish diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty. At the same time, they are extremely dissatisfied with the "Peacock Kingdom" being favored by the Han Dynasty and being named the Peacock King. They cannot be said to be dissatisfied with the sacrificial destiny. They dare not be dissatisfied with the sacrificial destiny. However, they are not convinced, and they all want to get such an honor.
After officially becoming a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, the regicide received the coveted title of the Peacock King. In other words, in the future, he no longer had to pretend to be the name of the Peacock Empire. Now that he has the title of the Emperor of Han, he is the legitimate Peacock King. His country is no longer the country of the regicide, but the Peacock Kingdom of the Han Dynasty.
This was an encouragement for the entire dynasty of the regicide. They celebrated for more than fifty days, and the morale of the army also rose. They even defeated the plunder of the Huns in one fell swoop. The trade with the Han Dynasty allowed them to quickly gain powerful capital. A large amount of material resources continued to enter the Peacock Kingdom, and even entered the entire Yandu. The Han Dynasty's influence almost increased sharply. Many nobles of Yandu regarded the Han Dynasty as a sacred place and began their own pilgrimage.
"In this case, if we continue our original thinking and erode, it will arouse their vigilance and destroy the current good situation. I did not expect that they would be so obedient and pay so much every year, which is much better than us occupying them... Therefore, I think the next thing is to constantly spread the influence of the great man to the body, win over their nobles, and can enthrone their titles, divide the countries, and get more tributes..."
Since its establishment, the tribute system of the Han Dynasty has not had such great benefits. The one-year tribute in the Peacock Kingdom is comparable to the things given by other tribute countries outside the Great Wall for decades. Moreover, with the development of the Peacock Kingdom, they will give more and more things.
"These things are more than enough to revitalize a Xiting Kingdom. When the roads are fully connected, two prosperous roads will appear, one from Chang'an to Xiting Kingdom, and the other is to go to Hexi Kingdom..."
Han Xin analyzed calmly, and Chang Liu was only responsible for nodding.
Whether it is leading troops to fight or formulating strategies, in all aspects, the teacher is the top-notch. Liu Chang didn't have to refute him at all. Just do what he said. Han Xin expressed his thoughts and then looked at Chen Ping next to him, "What do you think?"
Chen Ping narrowed his eyes, "There are many countries with poisonous bodies, and we can't just favor a Peacock country."
"Get tribute from another small country as fast as possible, and then let their kings come to pay homage, give great respect and reward, and give favors more than those of the Peacock Kingdom."
Han Xin frowned, "What about?"
"Then we'll just wait."
"good!
!”
Liu Chang clapped and shouted.
"Just do as you said!"
After the two left, Lu Lu walked in, "Your Majesty, I heard your cheers outside the door. They came together... Did they propose any good policies?"
"I don't know... it was just what Hou Chen said, so I must applaud."
"Your Majesty doesn't know, so let them do it?"
"That's the Marquis of Huaiyin and Marquis of Qu Ni. Just do what they said. It doesn't matter whether I know it or not!"
