On that day, Liu Mastiff was not in a hurry to return to Yuan Mansion, so he stayed in the palace.
On that day, the emperor directly let him live in the East Palace. This was already very obvious. The Hanmen took Liu Mastiff to the East Palace. Along the way, the Huangmen were extremely happy. They all paid homage to His Highness the Prince of Han Dynasty and led the people in front.
Liu Mastiff was even more excited when he went to the Hanmen in the East Palace. He smiled and said, "I haven't been to the East Palace for fifteen years."
"The East Palace has not been inhabited for fifteen years."
When they arrived at the East Palace, Hanmen ordered the people around him to bring out all the Huangmen in the East Palace to meet His Highness. After Liu Mastiff and Hanmen waited for a moment at the main palace gate, they saw a group of Huangmen in a panic.
He ran out and came to Liu Mastiff and others, and was about to salute Han Men. Han Men was startled and reprimanded: "You are so impudent, why don't you come to see His Highness!!!"
Only then did the Huangmen wake up and hurriedly went to see Liu Mastiff.
Liu Mastiff chuckled and said: "Everyone, please get up. In the past few days, according to my father's order, I have to rest here. It will be a lot of trouble!" Huangmen bowed again, and Hanmen scolded him again.
: "If you don't go, hurry up and clean up the palace for Your Highness!!" Seeing Huangmen running in, Hanmen looked at Liu Mastiff and whispered: "Your Highness, we are all His Highness's slaves, Your Highness has nothing to do with you."
You must never be so nice.”
"These little slaves, they all act based on their faces. The kinder Your Highness is, the more arrogant they will be. It's okay today, but in the future, there will be people who condone their relatives to do evil, hoard money, and sell out their parents. Your Highness is still
"You should always scold me," Han Men whispered. Liu Mastiff heard this, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han, for your advice."
"How dare I say thank you to Your Highness! However, His Highness is so kind and cruel that I can't bear to be so cruel. If Your Highness doesn't blame me, I will keep an eye on them for Your Highness in the future."
"good."
Under the supervision of Han Men, Xiaohuang Men quickly finished their work and welcomed Liu Mastiff into the East Palace. In fact, the East Palace had to be cleaned every day, and there was nothing dirty. However, they still had to work hard to make some mistakes.
As he greeted the prince politely and walked into the East Palace, Han Men let out a long sigh. In the past, he served as the Order of the East Palace and maintained the affairs of the East Palace. The East Palace was just like a small palace with all kinds of facilities.
On the one hand, this is to temper the prince, and on the other hand, it is to temper the Huangmen. The Xiaohuangmen in the East Palace are usually the youngest, smartest, and innocent people in the palace. Suddenly fifteen years have passed, and again
When he returned to the East Palace, Han Men felt various emotions in his heart. He thought that when the country first came to the East Palace, he was as excited as his Highness.
Han Men turned his head and looked at Liu Mastiff beside him.
Liu Mastiff's face was normal, with no hint of joy. He didn't even look around, but kept looking at the yellow gates in front of him. Perhaps he noticed the surprised looks of the Han gates beside him, so Liu Mastiff turned his head.
He smiled and said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest." When Liu Mastiff said this, Han Men said goodbye and left.
Xiao Huangmen also wanted to introduce the situation in the palace to Liu Mastiff. Knowing that Liu Mastiff was tired, he said no more and took him to the study.
Sitting in the study room, he took out the book from his arms and put it on the desk. Liu Mastiff stared at the book on the desk, his forehead jumped slightly, he closed his eyes and relaxed. The joy in his heart was indescribable.
Exit, stretched out his hand, and stroked the writing. The writing was a bit old, and the three big characters "Three Kingdoms" on the cover were also blurred. From his father's mouth, he learned that this book came from Ye Ye.
The holy emperor who is still chanted by people all over the world is Emperor Xiaokang of Renmiao.
It is said that when Ye Ye was young, he was inspecting the people's situation by the river. A golden dragon burst out of the water and uttered human words. He concluded that Ye Ye was the destined emperor of the Han Dynasty. He handed the book to Ye Ye, thinking about Ye Ye, Ah.
Father, he had held the book and observed it carefully for countless nights, and Liu Mastiff felt a sense of sacredness in his heart. Liu Mastiff closed his eyes and murmured:
"I hope that Ye Ye's soul in heaven will bless me. I, Liu Mastiff, will live up to Ye Ye's father's high hopes, live up to the great achievements of my ancestors, and uplift our country. Now, I can read the book of heaven. If Ye Ye agrees, I, Liu
Mastiffs have an order from the emperor, please tell your grandson!!!"
"Bang!!" In an instant, the windows in the hall were suddenly blown open by the strong wind, and the books on the slips were opened continuously!!
The scene in front of him stunned Liu Mastiff. He seemed to see Ye Ye sitting next to him, flipping through the book hurriedly. He took a few steps back and bowed to the slip. When he stood up, Huangmen was already at the door.
After waiting, Liu Mastiff received a response, and he quickly came in, fixed the window, and then excused himself. Liu Mastiff then began to open the heavenly book.
Obviously, this is a history book, but what’s in it?!!!?
"Cao Jun!! Aren't you implementing the New Deal? Why?"
"Dong Gong!!!"
"Liu Gong!!!"
“Zhongda!!!!!”
"Master!!!!!!!"
Since Liu Mastiff entered the study, he has not gone out. During these days, he has been staying in the study, studying day and night. The Huangmen did not dare to disturb him, and they brought meals every day. Some Huangmen also reported Liu Mastiff's situation to him.
However, the emperor was not too worried. He just made the Huangmen look at it. He knew in his heart how much impact this book would have on Liu Mastiff.
Three days later, the emperor held a court meeting.
Nowadays, the center of government affairs is no longer on the New Deal. Of course, this is because foreign trade has been cut off, so that all current financial sources fall on the New Deal and southern sea trade. At this time, veterans like Lu Zhi, who are firmly opposed to the New Deal,
, and didn’t say much. In their hearts, the New Deal was still an unimplementable policy.
This policy will sooner or later destroy today's prosperous age. However, during this period, we still have to be patient and cannot let the national treasury collapse instantly, which will cause more serious consequences.
But now the dispute in the temple is still focused on the war against Kushan.
The emperor wanted to rescue the merchants and the people, and the ministers agreed. This was correct. At first, they thought that the emperor's use of military force was just to rescue the merchants and show Kushan the power of the Han Dynasty.
However, the ministers did not expect that Dong Zhuo would not come back after going to Kushan. From the recent battle report, they learned that Dong Zhuo had captured the entire Sogdian region!
Is this to save merchants? In order to save merchants, you captured a state in Guishang? According to the systems of both parties, Guishang does not have a system of prefectures and counties. The areas commanded by these princes are equivalent to the states of the Han Dynasty. Even if you conquer
It makes sense to seize the other side's territory and rescue the captured people, but to capture a state is a bit too much.
The ministers have always been opposed to war. A country that loves war will perish. This sentence has always been kept in their hearts. Even ministers like Lu Zhi who have never forgotten the military are firmly opposed to the war with Kushan and hope that the emperor can withdraw.
Military.
Of course, they did not think so out of selfish motives. The Han Dynasty and Guishan were both powerful countries with vast territories and well-equipped soldiers. If the two countries went to war, the loss of national power would definitely be very serious. If nothing else, just
After the Northern and Southern armies set out to the Western Regions, Liang, Yi, and the Western Regions suffered heavy damage. In order to continuously transport supplies to the battlefield, roads were blocked and money was lacking.
The Chidao that was originally to be built, all water conservancy projects have stopped, and the government no longer has the ability to even fund the people to buy spring seeds and provide cattle for farming. The government's cattle have no choice but to be used as military rations, and the money in the national treasury is also increasing rapidly.
Consumption, the accumulation of these decades of prosperous times, is almost at its bottom. The government in the northwest region has to bear the responsibility of war transportation, and this important task naturally falls on the people.
The northwest region had just begun to improve, but it was back to its original state. The foreign merchants who had originally poured into the Han Dynasty from the Western Regions had disappeared. The people had been prepared to trade with them and planted commercial crops. Now
, there was no way to sell it, a large number of people worked hard for a whole year, but in the end, there was no harvest. They looked at the piles of tea and medicinal herbs, confused and desperate.
This war, which lasted less than a year, not only brought suffering to the Kushan people, but also brought suffering to the Han people. The harm it caused will continue to deepen as time goes by. If the national treasury cannot bear the burden,
If this continues, no matter how successful the war is, it will be a defeat for the Han Dynasty, and it is likely to destroy the foundation of this prosperous age and cause civil unrest.
The ministers in the DPRK have never been so united as one. They all hope to avoid the war and allow the Taiwei to withdraw his troops and return to the DPRK. From Situ to Yilang, they all have this idea. The Taiwei who used to speak out for the army is not here anymore. In the temple
Inside, the emperor could only bear this pressure alone.
They had just gone to court, and Situ Gong hadn't gotten up yet. Cai Yong stood up, looked at the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
"Oh, I wonder who Mr. Cai will impeach again today?"
"I want to impeach His Majesty!!"
Cai Yong raised his head and stared at the emperor.
The emperor was stunned, looked at Cai Yong, and asked coldly: "Your Excellency, you want to impeach the king as a minister?"
"Your Majesty! Emperor Xiaokang worked diligently throughout his life to turn the tide and revive the Han Dynasty. The northwest border between Jianning and Ning was repeatedly reported by the three princes in the court and asked to abandon it. Emperor Xiaokang refused. He used his life's work to stabilize the border and Liangzhou prospered.
People come and go, and the people are prosperous, but they don’t expect that such a huge achievement will be destroyed in one day because of your majesty’s reckless actions!!!”
"Your Majesty is so happy about his achievements, but he is not as capable as the late emperor! I think that your Majesty should kneel down in front of Xiaokang's mausoleum to apologize!!"
As Cai Yong spoke, the ministers shrank their heads, and no one dared to raise their heads again. Originally, they had all prepared various rhetoric. Lu Zhi prepared a list of people's sentiments in the northwest, and some people brought letters of complaint from county magistrates and governors.
However, they had never thought that Cai Yong would accuse the emperor. The Han Dynasty had never had such an arrogant minister. Even Wang Fu had never pointed at the emperor and cursed like this!
This is a capital crime and no one can save him. The ministers lowered their heads and thought in their hearts.
"How brave! You are bullying the emperor and ignoring your superiors!!" The emperor was furious, pointed at Cai Yong and shouted: "Take this guy to me!!"
"No need!!!" Cai Yong also roared, and he said: "I Jianning is a crippled minister, and I will not disgrace the traitorous hands of Xiping!!!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is here!!"
He roared and rushed towards the beams on the side. He smashed his head towards the beams. The ministers were shocked. At that moment, a figure quickly appeared next to Cai Yong, stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
He grabbed Cai Yong's shoulders and pulled him over. Cai Yong was held in his hand like a child and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Cai!!! You're fine!!!"
This man was Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei pinned Cai Yong to the ground, fearing that he would do something. He looked at the emperor and said almost pleadingly: "Please forgive Cai Gong for his disrespect. He
Although he is disrespectful to your majesty, he is also concerned about your majesty, Duke Cai, who is old. I am willing to take the punishment for him, so please forgive him." He was a little at a loss, and he didn't have the same air as before.
