Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth prince ascends the throne
It was getting dark, the evening wind was blowing, there were no stars in the night sky, and the brightly lit bustling market place, Luoyang Nangong looked dark in this summer night.
Ye Qing was taking a walk, turned around and looked at Prince Liu Shen, and said, "Prince, it's cold, you're wearing a little thin..."
When Prince Liu Shen heard this, his heart warmed up, and his family affection arose spontaneously. He bowed and said with a smile: "My father loves me so much, but I can't bear it. I also practice some Taoism, and the weather can't do any harm."
."
As he said that, Prince Liu Shen looked at Ye Qing with a loving look, then lowered his eyelids. Ye Qing sighed: "You just have to be clear in your heart. You are fifteen years old. I have been quite satisfied with your actions in the past six months of supervising the country.
But we still need to continue cultivating our virtues and nourishing our Qi…”
As he said that, a eunuch who had already prepared sent a stack of documents. Ye Qing casually took out one and gave it to Prince Liu Shen, saying: "This is a report, given to me... take a look at it."
Prince Liu Shen took it with both hands and took it out to read. He saw every move in the country under his supervision. From time to time, Ye Qing would mark it, either with praise or disparagement. Cold sweat broke out on his back. After reading, he closed the letter, knitted his eyebrows and saluted: "
My father, my sons and ministers supervise the country, and if they do something inappropriate from time to time, please ask my father to punish me."
Ye Qing smiled: "Get up, I told you that you are generally decent in dealing with it, but occasionally you are not, you are only fifteen years old."
"Yes." After hearing this, Prince Liu Shen stood up and arrived at the palace.
Ye Qing sat down, looked at the prince Liu Shen, and gradually straightened his face: "You have had a different nature since you were born. This is known to all relevant parties. Of course, it is up to me to succeed or fail, and this is not based on it."
"But when you started school at the age of six, I inspected you one by one. You have been serious about your studies these years, and I have taken it to heart."
Seeing that the prince Liu Shen was about to stand up and thank him again, Ye Qing waved his hand: "That's all. Three years ago, when you were conferring the title of prince, I assigned two questions. There is no place here today, so I will test your skills.
Two questions.
Prince Liu Shen was so excited that he made himself a prince, and the emperor told him that he was still a little unclear at first, but he thought about it day and night. Although he did not dare to reveal the topic, there were many talented people in the East Palace, and they came here to inquire and learn.
By this year, the supervisor of the country has gradually become more understanding, and he knows that this is his lifeline. If he cannot answer it and cannot satisfy his father, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the prince to succeed, let alone the throne.
At this time, Ye Qing suddenly asked, and his heart trembled with shock. He pretended to think, calmed down a little, and then said: "My father taught me, and I always think about it alone. I feel that this is the foundation of my great man."
Prince Liu Shen pursed his lips and made up his mind: "My son is so impudent that I just said..."
"The virtual prefecture and the real counties are the foundation of our great Han Dynasty dragon system."
"The cabinet rules but does not rule, supervising who poses a threat to the Han family, and the central government sends governors to the prefectures. It is with this authority that the counties are responsible for specific governance."
"The cabinet specializes in unification, and local governments specialize in governance, with separate functions and powers. Although the prefecture and county magistrates have unified governance powers, one county and one county cannot resist the central government, let alone seek rebellion."
"As for the Han military system, the cabinet does not have a military department and does not have any military power. The military power is entirely in the hands of the father. Therefore, the father can hold the cabinet accountable, and the cabinet can hold counties accountable."
At this point, the prince's blood welled up. The more he read it, the more he felt admiration, excitement, solemnity and other emotions swirling in his heart.
After calming down, seeing Ye Qing looking at him with encouraging eyes, he continued.
"The importance of the Han military system lies in hiding soldiers among the people, and everyone is a soldier. This system must be matched with the real counties and counties in Xuzhou. If it were a real state, it would not dare to have this military system."
After hearing what the prince said, Ye Qing's eyes lit up, he stood up and walked around, and then said after a moment: "How many people don't understand these profound meanings, but you understand - you continue to talk."
"Yes, if it were Shizhou, with a population of about five million, and if it wanted to implement this military system, it would have to hide 300,000 or 500,000 troops. Who would dare to give the hilt of this sword to others?"
"If we were to build a real state, our officials would think about it over and over again. Not only would the Han military system not be built, it would have to be suppressed or even abolished."
"That's right." Ye Qing paced, with a flush on his face: "There are hundreds of thousands or millions of soldiers in each state and province, and they are going to attack Luo at the critical moment. Who can resist it? Just counties and counties are many times smaller.
No matter how much mobilization is done, it will be difficult to threaten the imperial court... Just keep talking."
"Yes, only the virtual prefectures and counties can establish a military system in which all the Han people are soldiers. Otherwise, in order to prevent the state and feudal lords from threatening the court, the people must be guarded like tigers, and the local mobilization of troops must be abolished." The prince was encouraged, and in the past three years, he
A large article that was carefully thought out and condensed came out in a fluent manner.
"Because of the abolition of the local military system, the Northern and Southern armies must be expanded. The 70,000 to 80,000 Northern and Southern armies can be personally controlled by my father, and no one can exercise power."
"Once it expands to hundreds of thousands or even millions, my father, who is so wise, may not be able to control it, so he will have to appoint a large number of generals to take charge."
"The generals are unruly and unruly. I thought about it over and over again, so I had to introduce civil servants to balance it and establish the Ministry of War as my father said. Once the Ministry of War is established, the prime minister or scholars can control the military power. If the balance is correct, if there is a slight imbalance, something unexpected may happen.
disaster."
"Moreover, once the local military system is abolished, the central army will still be able to survive. If it is defeated, tens of thousands of barbarians may be able to conquer our billions of Han people."
"It is not a blessing for the country to be rich in culture and weak in military." When the prince said this, he suddenly felt that he had lost his composure. He quickly stopped, calmed down, and said: "Father, there is another question, but it is about specific governance.
, I also have some shallow opinions."
"Governing the country, the prefectures, the prefectures, and the counties are all governed by Qi."
"The Dragon Qi of my Han Dynasty is red and yellow at this time, and the states and counties vary from red to yellow. It can adjust the yin and yang for the livelihood of the people and the establishment of a career.
"People whose livelihood is lower than red and yellow must be given preferential treatment so that they have the potential to rise. This is the law for the livelihood of the people and the establishment of the industry set by the father."
"The people's livelihood industry that has reached the red-yellow stage should be divided into shares by chambers of commerce so that many people can share it and not be in the hands of one family."
"As for the civilian industry, if it is pure yellow or above, it must have the ability to pull the dragon spirit of our great Han Dynasty, as my father said. If the civilian industry does not have the ability to pull, it is not within the scope of support. If necessary, we will crack down on the rightists."
"Unless it has a strong driving force, the green industry must be split up and implemented into specific counties and counties, that is, the yellow family. It must be split up, and the ministers will supervise the country. In preliminary terms, it may be limited to a thousand hectares.
"As for the backward counties that are red, they will be red by supporting their private industries, rather than encouraging their growth."
"My son, I've finished talking."
It was impossible for the prince Liu Shen to say so much, and it was very rude. However, he had been smart since he was a child and had received hints from many people. He knew that this was the key to determining his destiny. At this time, he said everything. After saying it, he
I felt uneasy, waiting for the fate of my fate.
After hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes showed surprise. He walked up and down and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay, I have Longzi. It's enough for you to understand the avenue I set up."
This is actually only four to five tenths of the point, but the core has already been said. A set of sets alone is nothing. When they are combined ingeniously, it becomes a green system.
This prince, Liu Shen, is only fifteen years old. He knows so much and is really arrogant. I don’t know how many secret hands are involved, but as long as it does not hinder the great government, what if I give it to him?
Just looking at the prince, Ye Qing made up his mind and said: "I am a heavenly being. You already know this. You could have stayed and continued to govern, but your words today have made me determined."
."
"Listen, I will pass down the decree to the subjects tomorrow. Three days later will be the auspicious day of the zodiac. I will summon the ministers and take you to worship at the Fengxian Hall and the Sheji Ancestral Temple, and pass it on to you."
"This is inner Zen. I am the Supreme Emperor. You can change your reign title next year."
After hearing this, Prince Liu Shen, although he had been prepared for it, made a "buzz" sound and his face turned red. Finally, he did have a special talent. After a long time, he knelt down and said: "My talent and virtue are shallow, how dare you dream of a magical weapon, my father?"
He is the lord of the world, and I am willing to serve him at my knees for a long time..."
This was because of his intention, and the prince refused again and again. Ye Qing listened for a long time, stopped him, and said: "I have always been arbitrary in my speech, and I will not doubt you or test you... This matter has been decided... It is late at night.
, just step back
The prince knelt down and resigned. As soon as he went out, his face turned red. He wanted to tell his mother and the ministers close to him immediately, but when the words came to his mouth, he endured it.
...The prince did not sleep well that night. He listened to the chirping of autumn insects and thought about things with his eyes open - with excitement and a little bit of fear.
The emperor went to court the next day and announced the matter.
The ministers who knew the inside story all had a tacit understanding and went down the mountain to shout long live. They completely agreed with this matter. If the emperor wanted to go up, the prince should have succeeded him.
Only low-level officials who do not know the inside story speak out against it, but in this case, it has no effect.
Three days later, all the officials, with solemn expressions and solemn salutes, knelt under the towering palace to listen to the emperor's will.
I saw Ye Qing sitting on the throne, looking at everyone with a smile: "Three days ago, the edict was announced to the world. Today, the prince is the emperor."
Ye Qing said with a smile: "The prince is humble and filial. He has said goodbye many times and all the officials have petitioned him to stay. These are all proper words. However, my abdication is out of God's will and out of sincerity, but I will not practice these false etiquette."
Ye Qing stood up with a solemn expression: "The prince ascends the throne and is the lord of the world. Come, help the prince to ascend the throne and present the jade seal as a ceremony."
When the prince heard this, a stone fell in his heart. At this time, the prime minister stepped forward and helped the prince who had finally declined. When he reached the steps, Ye Qing stood up in person, supported the prince with his hands, and sat on the throne in the middle.
The prince sat down, but subconsciously he only sat half of it. His heart was confused. At this moment, he saw many ministers and ministers bowing together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor."
Under the shouts of the mountain, the ceremony was completed, and the jade seal was handed over. Anyone who can see the qi and look at the qi can see that the prince was originally only golden, but after a year of supervising the country, he gradually turned into light green.
As soon as he received the gift, he saw that one-third of Ye Qing's dragon energy was separated, rolled away, and fell into the prince's energy.
The cyan color immediately turned thicker, and a hint of purple appeared.
