The little fat man ignored them and turned around and returned to the palace.
The quarrel in the temple continued for a long time. Regarding He Xiu's beating of Wang Fu, all the officials held a favorable attitude and sighed in their hearts. Why were they not allowed to bring swords to the court? After they left the palace, even
Some members of the party hurriedly fetched the sword from He Xiu, but were chased down several streets by the furious He Xiu.
Wang Fu has become the common enemy of all ministers, but after this incident, he was praised by many party members, and even gained the reputation of today's literary sage.
The little fat man didn't care about this. As for the road construction, he was still going to leave it to Wang Fu. Although this man had a bad character, he did have a great talent. If he handed the matter over to him, he could rest assured that it would cost a lot of money.
It is huge, and it is also the biggest project since he ascended the throne. He can only succeed and cannot fail. If he does not do well, it is justifiable for him to take his head!
Compared with the previous year, the little fat man is not very busy this year. After all, there is Wang Fu at the Shangshu Desk. He often makes his own decisions and informs the little fat man only after he decides the matter. Although the little fat man is extremely unhappy about this, he
They did a good job, so the little fat man couldn't bear it. Therefore, the little fat man was no longer as busy as the previous year.
He often went to visit Madam Dong, but no matter how much he begged or complained, Madam Dong always refused to see him. Occasionally, Dong Cheng came over to chat with him, and the little fat man could only learn about it from him.
Mother's situation.
Mrs. Song also went there several times in person, but unfortunately, she was also shut out and could not see her. Gradually, no one in the palace or the ministers dared to mention Empress Dowager Dong anymore.
In October, a yellow dragon appeared in Xiangping County, Youzhou.
At the end of the month, Yang Ci died.
Yang Ci resigned from his post due to serious illness earlier and returned home. His son Yang Biao took care of him personally. Wen Renxi took his place. When he died, the little fat man also went to the Yang family in person. Yang Ci was chased
He was granted the title of Marquis of Zhongche Township and did not assume the title of nobility.
The emperor also worshiped Song Feng as the ruler of Jinwu and became a nobleman of the Song family.
In November, everyone from Sangong to Pavilion was well prepared for snow disasters. Since the first year of Jianning, there have been three consecutive snow disasters. This year, the little fat man takes this matter very seriously, so Baidu
The officials were all prepared for the snow disaster and were waiting for the snow to fall. However, until the end of this cold winter, there was not even a blizzard. The falling snow seemed to herald a good harvest next year.
The officials attributed this to the emperor's great virtue and moved the heavens, so no disasters came.
Only He Xiu, as if crazy, held a wine pot in one hand and a long sword in the other hand, wandering around Luoyang City, shouting: "Old thief! I was right! You are dead! God is no longer there.
A disaster is coming! Come out and fight me quickly! Come out!!" Everyone saw him laughing, drinking, dancing with his sword, and crying. No one dared to step forward to stop him or ask questions.
When the little fat man learned about this, he just shook his head helplessly and said nothing.
At the end of the fourth year of Jianning, Zheng Xuan, a doctor of economics, suddenly came to report to the guards that he wanted to meet the emperor. The guards hurriedly went to the palace to report. When the little fat man learned about this, he invited him to the palace. Zheng Xuan was not
When he entered the palace for the first time, he had followed He Xiu to the palace before. However, the little fat man did not put him in a high position, because although this person had high attainments in Confucian classics, he did not know the world and could be used but not reused.
Although I don’t know why he came, this man was close to He Xiu and was always well-liked in the court. The little fat man sat in the hall and waited. After a while, this man walked in under the leadership of Huangmen. After entering the palace, the little fat man stood up and said with a smile: "My master's friend is here!" Zheng Xuan bowed to him but did not dare to shout.
Sitting face to face with the little fat man, the little fat man asked about various things about the school. Zheng Xuan also responded in an orderly manner and seemed to be somewhat capable. Zheng Xuan has a handsome face and a gentleman like jade. He is nothing more than this and upright. Sitting on his knees in front of the little fat man, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He really had the demeanor of a great Confucian. Of course, he was a serious Confucian, not like some cruel and arrogant Confucians...
The Han people value appearance, but they care more about temperament.
The little fat man also has a good impression of a well-dressed celebrity like Zheng Xuan.
"Your Majesty..." Zheng Xuan straightened his body with a solemn expression. The little fat man also straightened his body and asked with a smile: "I wonder why Mr. Zheng is here today?"
"I came here to herd cattle for Your Majesty!"
The little fat man was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and after thinking for a moment, he understood a little bit what he meant. Did he want to provide suggestions for the people's settlement? Could the so-called cattle mean farming cattle? However, he still looked ignorant, a little bit He asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you are complaining that I don't know people? I feel that I am not recognizing my talents?"
Zheng Xuan chuckled, shook his head, and said: "How dare I have any extravagant hopes to gain your majesty's love?" He paused and then said: "Your majesty, there is an agreement in Han law that cattle must not be slaughtered without reason. Diseases are important." I don't know why?" The little fat man also tried his best to cooperate with him, shook his head and said, "I don't know why?"
"The cattle are an important tool for plowing the fields. What's more, the skin of the cattle can be used to make armor, the meat can be used as military food, and the sinews can be used as bows. There is no harm in doing anything! Therefore, Han law specifically prohibits the private slaughter of cattle!"
"That's it!" The little fat man looked like he suddenly realized it, nodded approvingly, and looked at Zheng Xuan.
"Nowadays, there are not many cattle for farming in the Han Dynasty. When I was teaching my students about farming, I saw a collection of agricultural books that actually recorded strategies for herding cattle and techniques for treating cattle. I tried it myself and discovered it. , if a cow is sick, it can be treated like a human being!" Zheng Xuan paused, letting the little fat man think for a moment, and then said: "In the fifth chapter of Miscellaneous Agricultural Books, Xu Ziyou asked you to set up a pasture to raise cattle. recommend."
"At that time, because the princes had lost their virtue, no one accepted his policy. At this time, the world was in great peace and there was no danger of war. I asked your majesty to set up a pasture to raise cattle. I am willing to recommend myself for this position. Within three years, I will definitely make it There are enough oxen for plowing the fields and enough for the soldiers and armor!" Zheng Xuan said, possessing him. The little fat man looked at him with some surprise. He looked at it for a long time and asked:
"Everyone in the world despises farming and herding, how can you recommend yourself?"
Zheng Xuan sat upright and said loudly: "Heaven sees me and the people see me, and God listens to me and the people listen."
The little fat man was stunned for a moment and replied slowly:
"The common people have made mistakes, but it's up to one person. I will go there now."
This sentence comes from "Shang Shu·Tai Shi Zhong": It was what King Wu said to everyone before he attacked the Shang Dynasty. The general meaning is that what heaven can see is what my people can see and what heaven can hear. That's what my people can hear. Zheng Xuan's words at this time also expressed his Confucian thoughts. God's will is to bring peace to the people. As a king, the superior should love the people.
The little fat man's answer was the next sentence. The people hate Shang so much now. The responsibility lies with me. I will personally attack Shang. This can be regarded as the little fat man expressing his approval and reply to Zheng Xuan's thoughts. Zheng Xuan
He was overjoyed when he heard this. This oath has never been recognized and was suspected to be a folk forgery. However, the new school headed by him recognized and agreed with this idea.
Now that the emperor's answer has been received, no one will doubt that Tai's oath was a forgery.
You can also herd cattle for the emperor as you wish!
