Liu De stood on the wall of Weiyang Palace and watched carriages carrying his foundation and hope for the future entering.
"Have all the three Qing families come into contact with these people?" Liu De leaned against the beacon tower and asked, "Tell me, based on what the three Qing families have seen, who among these eleven people can
For my Xiao He, who will be my backup?"
Liu De basically knew something about these eleven people. At least he had heard of their names and knew some of their deeds.
And Ji An and others only had a short meeting, how much did they know about the situation?
The reason why Liu De asked this question was that he wanted to test the vision and insight of these three people.
In addition, Liu De had some understanding of the emperor's mind.
As a superior, he must learn to hide his clumsiness.
You must deliberately expose some flaws in front of your ministers.
Otherwise, if you act too versatile, you will be disappointed.
Otherwise, if the literati came all the way to Chang'an to assist him, would they just be running errands and doing odd jobs for him?
Is there any scholar in this world who doesn’t have a dream about Jiang Shang and Yi Yin in his heart?
Confucianism tells the story of Yao and Shun.
The Huanglao School said that the emperor ruled with his head bowed.
That's the truth.
After all, we are all human beings, we all have emotions and desires, and we all want to realize our own values.
In this case, why not do it?
This would also make him feel much more relaxed, so that he would not be as tired as Qin Shihuang in the future.
"Yan Yi is a gentleman!" Ju Meng spoke first and replied: "Although I only spoke a few words to him, no matter how he behaves or behaves, he has the air of a humble gentleman!"
Liu De nodded after hearing this. Meng is worthy of being a former Kanto Ranger eldest brother. He looks at people with a very vicious eye.
Yan Yi is naturally a gentleman, but he is just a little bit idealistic. Otherwise, in his previous life, he would not have been so stupid as to stop Zhang Tang's roaring chariot.
"Ning Cheng is full of energy and can be an official!" Zhang Tang thought for a moment and said, "I thought it could be cultivated!"
Liu De smiled slightly and nodded, looking like he was listening humbly.
But in fact, the calculation in his heart was rapidly changing.
Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty once said that there is no party within the party, there are no imperial ideas, and there are no factions outside the party. There are all kinds of strange things.
As his small group expands, sooner or later it will inevitably split into several small hills due to interests and demands.
This cannot be reversed by human will!
Rather than passively watching these hills grow, it is better to take firm control of them from the beginning.
Of the six arts of a gentleman, the emperor is the best.
So Liu De happily said to Zhang Tang: "Very good! I still lack a minister around me, so I asked Ning Cheng to come over and help me sort out the documents and draft the documents. This way I can observe closely!"
Ning Cheng, Liu De knows his character very well.
This is a wolf that is ambitious and may bite back at any time, and is insatiable. In his previous life, Ning Chengtong served as a lieutenant with two thousand stones for a few years, but in the end he accumulated a fortune that could rival the country. Almost half of Nanyang
All the land in the county was bought by him!
This kind of person is a double-edged sword.
In other words, it is a disposable weapon that is thrown away after use.
How could Liu De give Ning Cheng the opportunity to come into contact with Zhang Tang and thereby 'lead the bad' to Zhang Tang?
Zhang Tang was a little disappointed. Originally, he was thinking of Ning Cheng as his partner!
However, it would not be bad if Ning Cheng could stay with Liu De day and night!
Ji An came out and said: "Your Highness, there is something that I don't know whether I should say..."
"Tell me..." Liu De said with a smile: "In front of me, there is no need to avoid suspicion!"
Ji An paused and said, "I feel that Master Yan is a little narrow-minded..."
As he said this, he presented a bamboo slip he picked up and handed it to Liu De. Liu De took it and looked at it, and also smiled: "Who knows about Fan Shuhan in the snow?"
As long as you see this sentence, you can use your brain to figure out what happened.
The protagonists of fantasy novels on the Internet in later generations generally behave like this. They are nothing more than a loser who counterattacks, and then the people who used to look down on him go to fawn over him, and are slapped in the face and humiliated by him.
"Your Majesty, you are a little too sensitive..." Liu De said with a smile: "Xiang Gong's revenge for the ninth generation is a great thing in the Spring and Autumn Period! Isn't it what a gentleman does to retaliate directly?"
Liu De looked at Ji An, who looked puzzled, and reminded him: "Restore the king's way, respect the king and resist the barbarians! Even if you have a hatred for ten generations, you can recover it!"
There was murderous intent in his tone!
This was the first time Liu De revealed his political aspirations and ambitions to Ji An and others.
When you respect the king and fight against the barbarians, who is it that fights against them?
The Dog Rong of the Spring and Autumn Period are now the Huns!
As time goes by, the Han family's patience with the Xiongnu has reached its limit.
At least, the His Highness in front of me obviously doesn't intend to endure it any longer.
Once he ascends the throne, a war of unprecedented scale will begin!
Both Zhang Tang and Ju Meng had uncontrollable sparks in their eyes.
fight!?
There is no faster way to accumulate merit and climb the ranks than this!
"This is just a one-sided statement from Confucianism!" Ji An took a deep breath and admonished: "Your Highness, a soldier is a murderous weapon, and a saint must use it as a last resort..."
Politicians of the old school are naturally anti-war, and all wars are evil in their eyes.
Therefore, Liu De did not continue to quarrel with Ji An, because he knew that he could not convince Ji An, so he just smiled and did not answer the question.
When Ji An saw this, he could only sigh sadly, knowing that if he tried to give advice again, he would make Liu De unhappy.
"Find an opportunity and talk about it carefully..." Ji An sighed and thought to himself: "The land of the Xiongnu, the salt pond, is neither cultivated nor suitable for living. What use does my Han family have for it?
"
This is an excuse for many people who oppose war against the Huns.
However, as politicians before the Christian era, you would have thought that in later generations there would be a guy named Midi who would get richer as he fought more.
The reason is simple: as long as your moral integrity is lost, it is impossible to lose money!
The history of Emperor Mi's fortune is a history book in which all integrity has been lost.
For Liu De, there is no such thing as losing money as long as he wins against the Xiongnu.
If nothing else, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are a huge gold mine.
What's more, Liu De still has a deep ambition - I want to wash my feet in the Indian Ocean!
From Dawan to the south, there is India!
One is flowing with milk and honey, covered with gold and diamonds, making people salivate and just want to take a big bite of the fat meat!
Everyone who has colonized the country knows how good the third brother is at ruling.
Unfortunately, Liu De also knew that if he wanted to colonize India in his lifetime, it would undoubtedly be a wishful thinking - the distance was too far, and there were also natural obstacles in the Himalayas, so he could only take a detour to Dawan, and there was no railway. It was just a dream! But he would go to his third brother's house every now and then to beg for help.
You can try one or two.
Of course, the most important thing is...
Liu De took a step forward and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers!"
He turned around and looked at Ji An: "How can I allow others to snore on the side of the bed? What's more, there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the earth. If I don't attack the Huns, they will definitely bully me!"
This is the real reason why the Han-Hungarian War is inevitable.
For the emperor of the Han family, it was impossible to tolerate someone being on an equal footing with him, or even insulting him.
Moreover, the geopolitics of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty also destined the two strongest people in Northeast Asia to decide a winner. Otherwise, the blood will continue to flow until the end of the world and the sea will rot and the stone will rot!
PS: It was already 1 o'clock when I came back from the hospital after receiving intravenous drip. I felt much better, so I turned on the computer and quickly wrote another chapter~
Ahem~~~~~~~~
Well, taking medicine indiscriminately can really kill people~~~~~~
