The distance from Ganquan Palace to Chang'an City is more than a hundred miles. Even with the Qinzhi Road, which is known as the most convenient road in BC, it still took Liu De more than two hours to return to Chang'an City.
As soon as he returned to the palace, a eunuch immediately came over and informed Liu De: "Your Highness, Your Majesty will meet with Mr. Tian in Shiqu Pavilion and tell your servants to go there as soon as His Highness comes back..."
"Yeah!" Liu De nodded.
He went back to his palace to change his clothes first, and then came to Shiqu Pavilion.
The Shiqu Pavilion is the most unique landscape in the Han Dynasty palace. It is surrounded by water and a huge artificially dug stone canal surrounds it. Sitting in the attic, you can hear the sound of gurgling water all year round.
Therefore, the literary youth of the historians were most infatuated with the environment of Shiqu Pavilion. Therefore, from the day Shiqu Pavilion was built, the historians of the Han family immediately regarded this place as their territory.
When Liu De came to Shiqu Pavilion, he saw a child with a knot in his hair, struggling to carry a pile of bamboo slips across the stone bridge in front of Shiqu Pavilion.
The child was about eleven or twelve years old, and he was quite handsome. The most important thing was that Liu De discovered that he was not wearing the Tsing Yi that the eunuchs in the palace often wore.
Liu De had a thought in his mind and immediately said to Wang Dao: "Go and help him..."
"No!" Wang Dao nodded and immediately went to help.
Of course, Liu De did not suddenly become a virgin, but the age of this child is in line with the current age of Ma Qian of Taishi Company.
Since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, China's historians have been hereditary. After the father dies, the son succeeds, and the elder brother succeeds the younger brother.
Liu De remembered that Sima Qian's family had been historians in the Zhou Dynasty. It was precisely because of this family background that Sima Qian was able to write "Historical Records" later. Otherwise, no one else in the world might have the knowledge and history.
Basics to complete "Historical Records".
Liu De remembered very clearly that in his previous life, Dongfang Shuo, the minister next to Liu Che, boasted that he had read a book of 100,000 words. Then, when they heard that he was so awesome, most of the people were shocked and looked full of admiration...
…
And if that child is the later Sima Qian, then Liu De's good deeds today may be recorded in the historical records when he grows up and starts writing historical records, becoming evidence that Liu De is an eternal wise king!
Watching Wang Dao help move the bamboo slips to the attic across the bridge, Liu Decai ordered the carriage to move forward again.
When Liu De entered Shiqu Pavilion, he heard the hearty laughter of cheap daddy from a distance.
It can be heard that Cheap Daddy is in a very good mood today.

"Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have revolutionized politics. You have cultivated silence, encouraged people to work in agriculture, and led your subordinates with virtue. Although the old ministers are far away from the world, they have also felt your Majesty's benevolence. Young and old in the countryside all praise your Majesty as a rare person.
The benevolent emperor..." In the Shiqu Pavilion, Uncle Tian, a veteran of the former dynasty who was nearly seventy years old, was talking eloquently.
Listening to Uncle Tian's words, Emperor Liu Qi's face turned into a smile.
It’s really useful!
If any other minister had said these words, Emperor Liu Qi would have suspected that the other minister was deliberately flattering, and there was no way he could be so happy.
But Uncle Tian is different!
This was a loyal and loyal minister from the previous dynasty who was famous all over the world, and an elder that the late emperor also respected.
And he has been away from politics for seven or eight years...
What he said was naturally not flattering, but honest words that truly reflected the voices of the people.
Of course, the emperor is more modest in his words.
"Tian Gong is really too much of a Miao Zan. I have little virtue and am not as good as the late emperor. There are still many places where we need more encouragement and corrections from you, Mr. Tian. We, the Han family, have to rely on elders like Mr. Tian to make corrections and make sure that we have more corrections."
With the same virtue, Li Shu is of one mind..." Emperor Liu Qi waved his hands and said. At this time, he had long forgotten that although Uncle Tian Gong was famous for his loyalty and righteousness in his early years, he also had a good official reputation.
However, during the reign of Emperor Gao, Uncle Tian was famous for his ability to speak human words to people and ghosts to ghosts.
When the late emperor was in power, although he often gave out outspoken advice, before giving advice, Uncle Tian always flattered the late emperor...
Therefore, as soon as the emperor Liu Qi finished speaking, Uncle Tian immediately hit the snake on the stick and bowed: "Then the old minister has the courage to speak out..."
"Although Your Majesty governs the world based on benevolence and filial piety, and most of his strategies are people-oriented, the veteran has been in the world for many years and has seen the sufferings of some people and heard about the experiences of some common people, so he risked his life to give advice to Your Majesty.
Although our Han family has treated the people with benevolence and forgiveness since Emperor Gao, and even sympathized with the suffering and suffering of the people during the reign of the first emperor, they abolished the Qin Dynasty's law of sitting together and some corporal punishments. However, after the abolition of corporal punishment, officials replaced it with flogging.
In fact, one lash usually costs fifty. Who among ordinary people can afford it?" Uncle Tian bowed to the ground and said: "Sometimes it is just a small crime, and local officials often use torture on the people. It is often seen by old ministers in the local area.
I am concerned about the common people who died because they could not bear the punishment. Therefore, I boldly ask Your Majesty to consider carefully and reduce the punishment of flogging..."
"I understand what Mr. Tian said. I heard that when the Yu clan was here, they wore different clothes and uniforms to kill people but the people did not offend. This is the rule of the saints. I am too weak to do this, but I dare not threaten the world with punishments.
I will order Zhang Ou, the court lieutenant, to meet with the prime minister to make a long history, discuss Tian Gong's proposal, and come up with a charter to reduce the punishment of flogging as soon as possible..." After listening to Uncle Tian's words, the emperor's good impression of Uncle Tian rose again, which made him
There is a feeling: Only such loyal and old ministers can always have the country and the world in mind, even if they are far away from the world, they are still worried about the world!
Emperor Liu Qi didn't know that this was also one of Uncle Tian's tricks. When admonishing the emperor, Uncle Tian would usually choose a topic that would definitely be accepted first, so that the emperor could listen to his advice with ease and comfort, and then wait until the emperor felt that he was
When a minister is trustworthy and is also a minister who cares about the country and the world, he will only bring up those sensitive topics that can easily offend the emperor.
"Old minister, I have one more thing to report..." Uncle Tian said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please punish Chao Chao for his mistakes and bring peace to the world!"
As soon as these words came out, the room was filled with silence, and the Emperor's face, which was originally in a very good mood, immediately dropped.
Originally thinking that his grandfather was on the road, the two young people from the Tian family who were secretly rejoicing were immediately scared to death and hurriedly crawled out and worshiped: "Your Majesty, calm down, death penalty, death penalty..."
Emperor Liu Qi didn't know how to answer at this time.
Even his heart was a little shaken: Even senior officials like Uncle Tian were shouting and killing Chao Cuo. Did Chao Cuo really go too far?
But when he thought about it carefully, everything Chao Cuo did was agreed to by him, approved by him, and was negotiated.
However, the blunt advice of an old minister like Uncle Tian must be given an answer, otherwise, if it spreads, it will appear that he, the emperor, is too small-minded and broad-minded.
But, how to answer?
When I was feeling worried, a eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is here..."
Emperor Liu Qi was immediately relieved and took the opportunity to get rid of this embarrassing situation and said: "Let Liu De come in and pay homage to Mr. Tian..."
At this time, Emperor Liu Qi only felt that Liu De came at the right time!
