Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh study and filial piety
When this aspect of longevity is over, the grand court ceremony of being overbearing and deceitful has come to an end.
By this time, it was already noon and it was time to rest.
The maids presented a variety of exquisite snacks and carefully made sauces to the envoys from the vassal state and the princes and concubines who were present to eat and replenish their physical fitness.
In the afternoon, the emperor, the queen mother, the empress and Liu Che led the ministers and nobles to the Ancestral Temple and Emperor Taizong Temple outside Weiyang Palace respectively to worship Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and the late Emperor Taizong Xiaowen.
As for Emperor Hui...
For an emperor without a temple name or heirs, it would be a great honor to leave his god card in the Han Dynasty's pedigree!
In the evening, Liu Che had to stay in Weiyang Palace with the emperor's father to entertain the princes and other princes who came to Beijing and other county guards who came from various places to Chang'an to report on their duties.
These political activities are undoubtedly a great test for young people like Liu Che who are less than seventeen years old.
Both mentally and physically.
However, by participating in these political activities with the emperor's father, Liu Che mastered some new skills that he had not mastered in the past.
For example, now, he knows how the royal family controlled and ruled those counties and counties that were thousands of miles away or even thousands of miles away in this world before the Christian era.
One is a very common combination of kindness and power.
Second, through frequent transfers of local county governors, we can prevent them from serving in one place for too long and causing a tendency to be too big to lose.
These two methods seem simple.
Almost everyone who has read the book knows this.
But if we really want to implement it in detail, how to grasp this degree and how to control it is a difficult problem.
The territory of the Han Dynasty was so large. If nothing else, the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River were almost two different worlds.
How to allocate and appoint officials reasonably is a difficult problem that tests a ruler's governance skills.
Then, as a ruler, not only do you know everything well, but you also need to at least know the population of each county and the local geography, customs and customs.
Otherwise, when the officials below briefly report to you the development of the county and the number of households last year, you can only say yes.
Then, when the people below saw the emperor acting like this, they would immediately have other thoughts.
But following the emperor's father, what Liu Che saw was that whether it was the counties sandwiched between Wu Chu and Huainan, or the border counties facing the threat of the Xiongnu, or in the heart of the Central Plains, peace had been at peace for a long time.
After listening to the county guard's report, his father could accurately recall the local population, the number of acres of land, the land tax and corvee schedule last year, and gave some encouragement, praise, or
These are words of encouragement.
This left Liu Che stunned.
Frankly speaking, Liu Che thinks that he is still far from reaching this level.
"I still have a lot to learn and master..." When Liu Che followed his father and received the last county governor who came to Beijing to report on his duties, Liu Che sighed in his heart.
Think about it. Throughout the history of Chinese dynasties, there were hundreds of kings in each of the twenty-one dynasties.
But not one out of ten can truly control the situation.
Most emperors were led by their ministers, and even spoiled them.
Only a few strong men stand out. Such people are the embryos of wise kings and wise kings.
Apart from these strong men, the rest are lucky enough to be evaluated as the masters of defense.
Among the thirteen emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, there were as many as six wise kings, wise kings and heroes. Even when the building was about to collapse, Emperor Ai's performance was above ordinary people. It was not because he was suffering from a strange disease, and the general trend was irreversible.
Otherwise, it may not even be possible for him to become the master of ZTE!
Before, Liu Che didn't know how such a miracle happened.
Now, he understands.
Under such words and deeds, as long as the heir is not stupid, he can basically master some basic skills of governing the country.
Then, after more than ten years of training, even if you are just a middle-aged person, you can master the emperor's mind.
"If you put it this way, Mingjun's longevity can be considered an advantage!" Liu Che thought to himself.
If you want to educate a qualified heir, time is undoubtedly the key.
With a bunch of infant emperors like those in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was difficult for the country’s power not to fall into the hands of outsiders!
"The body is not only the capital of the revolution, but also the capital of the dictatorship! It is also the capital of the dynasty's ten thousand years of rule!"
With this thought, Liu Che held a cup of chicken soup stewed with ginseng and personally came to the place where the emperor's father rested. After knocking on the door, Liu Che presented the cup of chicken soup in his hand and said
"Father, my son saw that his father was working very hard on state affairs. He heard that there is a strange thing called wild ginseng in Zhenfan, which can soothe the mind and strengthen the body, regulate yin and yang, and replenish the qi. So he found a plant specially and cooked it with chicken soup.
Present it to your father and ask him to taste it!"
Liu Che asked Li Xin to stew this pot of chicken soup for almost three or four hours, and the chicken bones were almost mushy.
There is no way around it. There is no pressure cooker in this era, not even an iron pot.
If you want to make soup, you can only use a big cauldron.
This efficiency can be imagined.
Upon hearing this, the emperor Liu Qi put down the memorial in his hand, showed a smile on his face, and said: "The prince is interested!"
Like today, it was the first time for him to have his son stew the soup himself and serve it to him.
Naturally, I can't help but feel some emotions in my heart.
I just feel like I haven't wasted my time on Liu Che at last.
A kind of feeling that only belongs to my father immediately lingered in my heart.
This feeling was even extremely violent, making his body and mind immersed in an emotion called happiness.
So, when the eunuch offered the cup of chicken soup, and an official next to him wanted to eat it first as a precaution, the emperor Liu Qi waved his hand, took the cup of chicken soup, and took a bite with a spoon.
The rich ginseng fragrance immediately lingers between your lips and teeth.
Even the radish and ginseng that was artificially cultivated and stimulated in a short period of time in later generations can be used by ordinary people to refresh the mind and concentrate the mind.
The efficacy of this old wild ginseng, which has grown in the deep mountains and old forests for countless years, is naturally ten times that of ordinary ginseng.
Therefore, after drinking the chicken soup, Emperor Liu Qi felt that his tired and sleepy brain suddenly became more energetic, and even the fatigue in his body disappeared a lot.
"It's really magical!" The emperor praised, opened his mouth and swallowed the whole cup of chicken soup.
Then he took a deep breath and said to Liu Che: "Prince, does that wild ginseng come from Zhenfan?"
Liu Che nodded in agreement.
"Tell Da Xing that from now on Zhenfan's tribute will be this wild ginseng. Also, ask the Shaofu to buy as much of this thing as you want!" After the chicken soup was eaten, the emperor Liu Qi immediately noticed it.
The benefits of this wild ginseng stew.
The other effects cannot be seen yet, but this refreshing effect is really timely for an emperor like him who often stays up late and turns day and night upside down when he is busy!
In this way, maybe I won’t have to doze off while reviewing memorials in the future.
"Reporting to my father, I have ordered Ji An to negotiate with King Zhenfan!" Liu Che quickly claimed the credit.
"Oh..." Emperor Liu Qi nodded, waved his hand and said, "Then, let the prince handle this matter!"
In his opinion, since this wild ginseng has the word "mountain" in it, it must be a product of the mountains and forests. I'm afraid that this mountain product can be found all over the mountains and plains, right?
Therefore, it probably isn't worth much, so it might as well be left to the prince to take care of it.
Liu Che was overjoyed.
What is the most profitable business in the world?
The answer is monopoly!
As long as we monopolize the source of ginseng, won't the money keep rolling in?
At the same time, in the Changle Palace, Queen Mother Dou also nodded in praise after eating a cup of chicken soup presented to her under the banner of Liu Che: "The prince is thoughtful. Please prepare more ginseng soup like this for the Ai family in the future!"
An old person like her is naturally more able to appreciate the benefits of ginseng soup! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
