Situ Luzhi seemed to have grasped the trick. Old age is not a disaster for ministers. Occasionally, he can indeed become a talisman. Just like Lu Zhi, no one in the temple dared to go against him.
Even if you have complaints in your heart, you can't reveal them. After all, this is a veteran who has worked hard for the big man for decades. What else can you say about him? What qualifications does he have to say about him?
Yuan Shao never thought that this old Situ, who had no close friendship with him, would actually support him in the temple. Although his actions seemed a bit rogue, they were very effective. After he spoke, no one dared to argue anymore.
They couldn't afford to offend such an old minister. If he was so angry that he died, it would be hard to explain, and he would have to bear a bad reputation forever. The more they valued their reputation, the less they dared to argue with him.
Under the strong intervention of Lao Situ, the ministers who had shouted objections fell silent. Lu Zhi looked at them and then looked up at the emperor. The emperor understood what he meant and immediately let this government go.
It was officially passed and executed by Shangshutai. Xing Ziang immediately accepted the order without saying a word. Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was no different from the ministers in the court. He also hated these merchants and looked down on these officials.
These lowly people.
However, as Sikong, he is very clear about the situation of the treasury. If he does not think of a solution, the treasury will not be able to withstand the emperor's torment. Today, to be disrespectful, it is really a great achievement, and he has to go with Emperor Xiaokang everywhere.
Bi, his heart is higher than the sky, and he wants to do better than Emperor Xiaokang. Emperor Xiaokang established Hezhou and Xinzhou to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty, so he will establish Ningzhou and Xizhou to do more than the previous emperor.
many.
The late emperor built Hongdu Menxue, Taixue, and Menzixue. He would build Taixue in various places and build two colleges, the East and the West.
The late emperor built Chidao in Yan, Henan, Hebei, and You, and the emperor will build Chidao on a large scale throughout the world.
The late emperor set up farmland and mobilized the people's strength to promote agriculture and mulberry. The emperor will set up border garrison camps and cultivate countless fields in the frontier areas.
The late emperor engaged in foreign trade and did business with the Kushans, but today the Kushans and Anxi are required to come to the Han Dynasty to trade, and they also collect commercial taxes from them.
The late emperor carried out benevolent policies, reduced various taxes, and reduced the burden on the people. Today, it is necessary to support the elderly, the weak, the orphans, and the disabled, as well as to raise the disabled soldiers and arrange for the old soldiers.
But any minister who has spent a lot of time in the temple can feel the emperor's enthusiasm. He imitates the late emperor in everything, or in other words, he wants to do everything better than Emperor Xiaokang.
In addition, if Yuan Shao guessed correctly, Emperor Xiaokang was engaged in water conservancy, road management, assessment, and construction of the south. The emperor would probably do it next, and the cost would be even greater.
This is simply driving Sikong to death. When Yuan Shao took office, he was still high-spirited and famous, but now his hair is gray. Standing with Yuan Shu, he does not look like his brother, but looks like him!!
Yuan Shao himself didn't know how long he could hold on to this position. If he could hold the position for one day, he would hold on for one day. He would try his best not to empty the treasury. Otherwise, he would be the only one to suffer. No one would blame the emperor for his wanton behavior.
No one will understand how much money is spent on the implementation of a policy or the victory of a war. They will only feel that it is their own fault, causing the national treasury to be depleted.
After Yuan Shao understood this truth, he abandoned the persistence in his heart. He did not need to put all his efforts into pleasing the ministers, nor did he need to value his image in the eyes of those people. He only needed to fulfill the emperor's instructions. This prince
, I can do it myself. This position was not given by others, but by the emperor. To put it harshly, it is enough for me to please the emperor in front of me.
After Yuan Shao's proposal was successfully passed, the emperor said: "Besides this, there is one more thing."
His eyes swept across Cai Yong, Hua Xiong, and Zhang He.
He said: "Zhang Song's matter."
Everyone was stunned and lowered their heads. After talking about this matter, the emperor looked at everyone and said: "I am not reprimanding you for not doing things well, even though many people have disappointed me this time...
What I want to talk about is how to prevent such a situation from happening. In the land of Sili, in front of me, there are such a group of villains who form cliques and seek personal gain. I really don’t dare to think about it in other places...
I think the censors, embroidered clothes, and governors need to be strengthened..."
Hearing the emperor's words, everyone was a little panicked. Since the Jianning period, the restrictions and supervision on the ministers have become more and more stringent, and now they have to be strengthened? What will we, the great sages, do? They subconsciously
They want to object, but they can't find the words to refute. Zhang Song's incident just happened, and they all know how angry the emperor is. At this time, they should speak up to refute and tell the emperor that there is no need for supervision. We are all
Daxian, you don’t need supervision...Isn’t this asking for death?
"Your Majesty!!! I have something to say!!!!"
Someone in the middle of the court spoke. When this person spoke, it was like thunder. Most of the people were used to it and had no reaction. Only the newcomer Hua Xiong jumped up in fright. He groped for his waist but couldn't find his sword. He looked a little horrified.
Looking at Zhang Fei who was not far away, seeing his reaction, many people burst into laughter. The emperor also smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Hua. This person is Mr. Zhang, the censor."
Looking at Zhang Fei, who was frowning and looking unhappy not far away, Hua Xiong sat down and looked at him in shock, staring intently.
The emperor also asked: "Why is Zhang Jun going to memorialize?"
"I think!!! There are not enough manpower to serve as the Censor!!! How can we monitor hundreds of officials when we can't see or hear? Your Majesty, please increase the post of Censor and allow us to go to the residence of the officials."
The supervisor can supervise the implementation of policies, allocate manpower, and dispatch. As for the governor, his power is sufficient and there is no need to increase it. In addition, I hope that your majesty can allow the Yushitai and the Tingwei to act jointly, and order the Tingwei to arrest him.
The arrest!!!"
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, the emperor frowned, looked at the ministers, and asked, "What do you think, gentlemen?"
Sun Jian said: "It is completely feasible to add a Yushitai. However, Tingwei is one of the Nine Qings and cannot be a subordinate of the Yushitai..." Just after he finished speaking, Lu Bu on the side also said: "Your Majesty
, Today, in Luoyang, there are court officers, embroidered clothes envoys, Zhi Jinwu, and Sili Xiaowei. They are all equipped with soldiers, enough to capture traitors or monitor the thieves. If the Yushitai is also added, I'm afraid.
It’s discomfort!”
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "The embroidered messenger!! He is the one who obeys the emperor's orders!! Tingwei is responsible for investigating and arresting, Zhijinwu is for arresting thieves, and Sili Xiaowei is the governor of Sili Prefecture!!!
We are the ones who really supervise the officials. If we are not given manpower, will we have to rely on guesswork to impeach traitors? I don’t want the Yushitai to be equipped with soldiers, but I just need some available manpower to be able to carry out supervision.
They use!!"
The two sides argued endlessly in the hall, and it was not until the end that the emperor personally decided. He added part of the power of the Yushitai, but he did not give it to the soldiers or allow them to mobilize the court officials as Zhang Fei said. In addition, for
The governors in various places still made certain changes, such as changing the original annual memorial table to the quarterly memorial table once every three months. In addition, they also strengthened the power of Tingwei and raised their arrest limit to
The level of two thousand stones.
After the court meeting was over, Zhang Fei just walked out when he felt someone else following him. He ignored it, put on his shoes, and walked out of the palace. After walking out of the palace, this person was still following him. Zhang Fei really
Unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he turned around, looked at Hua Xiong in front of him angrily, and asked, "What's the matter, Jun?" Hua Xiong walked to him with a smile and said, "
How did you speak so loudly? Can you teach me??"
Zhang Fei's face gradually darkened, he gritted his teeth and said, "I was born this way!!!"
"Then have you ever gotten married? Do you have a sister to marry? A daughter is fine too!!"
...........
On the other hand, Yuan Shu also told several officials in the East Palace about the news of Sima's pregnancy. Everyone was happy for Yuan Shu. Zhou Yu and Liu Mastiff even prepared gifts in advance. As Yuan Shu's disciples, they needed to offer generous gifts.
Others have also prepared gifts. It can be seen that in the East Palace, Tutor Yuan Shu is still very respected by everyone. However, for some reason, Yuan Shu does not like to come to the East Palace very much recently. He has always been in the East Palace.
In my own mansion.
Every time Liu Mastiff and others went to visit him, they could see him busy writing "Gongyang's Exegesis". Speaking of which, this book should have been finished long ago, but when Yuan Shu compared the current situation with Gongyang's exegesis,
After connecting the stories of the Three Worlds, he had more ideas, and this book will continue to be written. Yuan Shu wrote all his recent thoughts in this book. At the same time, he has not
Forgot to promote these ideas to Liu Mastiff and others.
Yuan Shu's thoughts are easy to understand. Since ancient times, whether to enrich the country or enrich the people has caused many thinkers to argue endlessly. In the pre-Qin era, most Confucian thinkers talked about enriching the people instead of the country's wealth. The Legalists were just the opposite.
They talk about the wealth of the country, but not the wealth of the people. For example, Shang Yang once said that the people should not be too poor, otherwise they will easily leave their land and not allow the country to use them for farming.
Likewise, they cannot be too wealthy, otherwise they will despise the state's rewards and disrupt social order.
Confucianism believes that the people should be rich, and the country's wealth is best when it is in the hands of the people.
Of course, later, Xunzi also proposed the theory of wealth for the country and the people. Xunzi believed that the poor at the bottom would lead to the poor at the top, and the rich at the bottom would lead to the rich. He connected the two and believed that no one of them could be ignored. When it came to Yuan Shu, he combined the two
They combined it again, and while continuing Xunzi's ideas, he once again put forward the theory of the wealth of the people and the wealth of the country. He was slightly different from what Xunzi thought.
will become rich.
Yuan Shu believed that the wealth should be concentrated in the country first to make the country rich, then the scholar-bureaucrats should be reused to make the scholar-officials rich, and finally, policies beneficial to the people should be implemented through money to make the people rich. This is
Yuan Shu's Theory of Gongyang III and Three Wealths!
Not only Liu Mastiff, but also people like Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Pang Tong also listened to Yuan Shu's explanation very seriously. Yuan Shu didn't mind if they put forward their own ideas. If they objected or couldn't understand something, Yuan Shu would
I will try my best to solve it, think hard, and constantly improve this new Gongyang school of thought that has just taken shape.
