A crowd of ministers gathered at the entrance of the palace. Everyone was waiting for the court meeting to begin. This time, Situ Gong Lu Zhi arrived early. He arrived nearly an hour earlier than the other ministers. He was afraid that he would be delayed again.
Time passed and the ministers were kept waiting for too long. There were many people standing around Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi was telling them something. It seemed that he was very excited about what he was saying. He waved his hands and asked the old man what was going on.
Situ was so excited.
Huangfu Song has also returned and is chatting with Sun Jian and Lu Bu. He also looks a little worried.
While everyone was chatting, the palace gate opened and everyone walked in one by one. Situ Luzhi was at the front. The emperor specially sent a yellow gate to support him in going to court. Two soldiers stood at the door, looking at these ministers.
, when ministers go to see the emperor, they will not be searched. As long as they are not wearing armor or swords, it will be fine. As for daggers, there has never been a minister in the court to assassinate the emperor.
And among this group of people, there was a man with bulging sleeves that looked like he was hiding something. He lowered his head in an attempt to blend in with the crowd so that he would not be discovered by the surrounding soldiers. However,
, the sharp-eyed soldier soon discovered something strange about him. After pondering for a long time, he stepped forward to stop him. The soldier said helplessly: "Hua Gong, what are you holding in your hand?"
Hua Xiong smiled awkwardly and said, "There is nothing! Did you see it wrong? Please give me a break. I have to go see His Majesty now!"
The soldier sighed and let the other ministers go in first, but only Hua Xiong stopped him and said: "Hua Gong, please don't make things difficult for us!" Hua Xiong was a little angry and said unconvinced: "There are so many people, you
Just doubt me, do you look down on me as a Liangzhou native and think I’m a barbarian who can be bullied?!”
"Hua Gong... I am also from Liangzhou... This has nothing to do with my place of origin... Your sleeves..." The soldier looked at Hua Xiong's bulging sleeves and really didn't know what to say.
When you waved, that thing almost smashed the head of the veteran in front of you, and you still told me that you didn't bring anything?
Hua Xiong had no choice but to take out what Ma Jun had given him as a gift and said: "This is not a weapon. This is what I use to speak in court... How about you be accommodating? Another day.
I’ll send some money to your house!!”
The soldier took away Hua Xiong's musical instrument with a dark face, and then walked away. Hua Xiong sighed and walked into the palace. The ministers went to the palace. They have their own positions. Hua Xiong, as the Sili schoolmaster
Lieutenant, he should have been in a slightly forward position. In order to return to his position, he had to squeeze in, causing the officials to yell and curse. This guy didn't care at all and squeezed in.
After taking his position, he followed the others and slowly entered the temple.
Everyone sat down again, and many people were talking angrily. They would impeach Hua Xiong later. However, Hua Xiong was deeply loved by the emperor. Just impeaching him would probably suppress him. He still had to think of something.
Method.
The emperor came in and took his seat. Everyone stood up and saluted. The emperor returned the salute, and the court meeting began.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!!"
The court meeting had just begun, and the emperor didn't even say anything. He heard a minister stand up to play. The emperor frowned and asked, "What do you want to play?"
"I want to report to the imperial censor Zhongcheng Cai Yong, and to the imperial censor Zhang Fei!"
Hearing that this man wanted to impeach Cai Yong, the emperor became interested and nodded, letting him continue talking. Then the man said: "Hua Xiong was disrespectful to the palace, disrupted the order, and beat up the old ministers... and the censor
But Tai turned a blind eye! Therefore, I want to impeach the officials of Yushitai!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei stood up and said angrily: "Nonsense!!! I was obviously planning to impeach him during the court meeting!!! You spoke first before the court meeting!!!"
The man said that was the case, and sat down with a smile. This was what he wanted, a difficult guy, and naturally he needed someone even more difficult to deal with.
Zhang Fei looked at Hua Xiong and was about to speak when he saw Lu Zhi stand up, looked at Zhang Fei and said angrily: "Sit down!!!"
Zhang Fei immediately sat down. He didn't know why Situ was so angry, but he still felt that it was better not to anger him at this time. Lu Zhi looked at the ministers below and said angrily: "The national affairs are important, you guys
But he treats the court meeting as a child's play and talks about nonsense!!" Old Situ showed his power, and for a while, the whole temple was silent, and no one dared to speak.
Lu Zhi then looked at the emperor and said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, during the time of Jianning, the Liangzhou Biao family was shaken by earthquakes and destroyed countless people's houses. However, they did not pay attention to it. Just like a month ago, there was another underground cave here.
, I don’t know why, water came out of the ground, flooding caused disasters, all government offices and even residential buildings in the city collapsed, killing four thousand people..." Lu Zhi said, almost crying, he said: "The governor of Liangzhou has already
We have started disaster relief work, but we still need help from temples."
"What, this happened??" The emperor was also shocked. He didn't know about this??
"Your Majesty, I only received the report from Liangzhou this morning!!"
"Yuan Sikong!! You will personally come to rescue this matter and do your best to provide disaster relief. If there are casualties among the people after the disaster, it is your fault!!"
"Here you go!"
Everyone was discussing countermeasures again. The city was flooded. This was a big problem. Although it was a small county that was flooded, what should we do about this county? Everyone was discussing, but they couldn't come up with a good countermeasure.
Hua Xiong suddenly said: "This matter cannot be solved. We can follow the ancient law, change the county, build a city, and compensate the people who suffered the disaster. However, there are also disadvantages in this matter. The city has not been built yet.
The people are anxious and prone to trouble."
"In order to prevent them from causing trouble, the best way is to let them participate in the construction of the city and provide them with food every day. This is called work-for-relief, which was what Emperor Xiaokang used to deal with the refugees in the past..."
"What do you guys think?...Huh? Why do you all look at me like this??" Hua Xiong looked at everyone. The temple was quiet, and everyone stared at him dumbfounded. Even the emperor did the same, with his mouth wide open and eyes filled with laughter.
I'm a little confused, is this guy really Hua Xiong? Could it be that he is haunted by a demon? These words are what you, the Huamanzi, should say. Shouldn't you just sit down and listen to the wise men explaining how to provide disaster relief?
??
Hua Xiong was a little confused by what they saw, and he was also a little confused. What happened to these people?
"What Mr. Hua said makes sense... It makes sense, Yuan Sikong... For this disaster relief, you will bring Mr. Hua with you..." The emperor said, Yuan Shao quickly lowered his head and said: "Sincerely!!"
There was still some silence in the temple. Huangfu Song coughed, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, these military scholars have completed their training and can go to various places. However, I don't know how to distribute them. I am really in trouble. I wonder if your Majesty has any advice.
?”
The emperor looked at Huangfu Song. Have the students finished practicing? He thought that this matter would have to wait for a while. He did not expect that Huangfu Song was so fast. However, this also made him a little doubtful. These students could really do it. Do you want to take on a big responsibility? The emperor nodded and said, "Thank you, General..."
He looked at everyone again and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" When he said this, he actually looked at Hua Xiong. Before Hua Xiong could reply, the ministers had already started to present their speeches, and each of them As we have seen, some requested that they be sent to the border garrison to see what they did, some felt that they should be the main ones and another army should be formed, and some thought that they could be allowed to serve as generals at all levels in the North and South armies.
Everyone was talking to each other, and there was some commotion in the temple, but Yuan Shao stood up and left with Hua Xiong. The relief work was the most important, and they had to set out immediately to carry out it. Hua Xiong reluctantly followed Yuan Shao and left. He had originally thought of something It was a good strategy, but it was a pity. Yuan Shao pulled Hua Xiong to the door. Hua Xiong took his things back from the soldiers' hands, and the two hurriedly walked towards Sikong Mansion.
"Huajun, I still need to gather the transportation of grain and grass in Luoyang. I can't go immediately. Huajun may take a step first to stabilize the people's hearts..." Yuan Shao seemed to be asking, but his words were still a little bit... He was tough and did not allow Hua Xiong to refute, and Hua Xiong did not want to refute. He nodded and said: "Okay, but Mr. Yuan, please give me some supplies. It doesn't need to be too much. It's good if you can take it away now..."
"The people and officials are all waiting for relief from the temple. If I leave empty-handed, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate. I will bring some supplies first and tell them that the follow-up supplies are on the way. In this way, Liangzhou's The situation will then stabilize..."
"Can!"
The two left like this, but the dispute in the temple was not over yet. They were still arguing, but they could not come up with a decent plan. At this moment, someone in the temple was heard laughing loudly, This laughter made the officials' hair stand on end, because the laughter was so familiar, as if... Everyone looked around, and sure enough, Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Situ, was looking up and laughing.
The emperor was stunned, with a smile on his lips.
"You guy!!! How can you be allowed to act so recklessly in the temple??!!"
Zhang Fei stood up at the Yushitai and watched Guo Jia curse. Guo Jia raised his head helplessly, glanced at him, and said: "You don't have to be so loud, people, the more you have, the quieter your voice will be. On the contrary, They are those useless people who like to shout loudly all day long..." He said, without waiting for Zhang Fei's words, he stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said, "I hope your majesty will forgive me. It’s just that I laughed out loud when I saw the ministers in the temple quarreling so much over a trivial military matter..."
Oh my god!! Wang Jiexin is back!!
Some old ministers were so frightened that they almost fainted. This familiar tone, this familiar disdain, contempt... The emperor smiled and asked: "What about the idea of filial piety?"
"I believe that we can imitate the military merit assessment and set up a military assessment. Not only military students, but all students can participate. The assessment will be based on the four subjects of military art, riding and archery, strategy, and classics. Those who can pass will have the same results as the scientific merit assessment. Those who are excellent will naturally go to the North and South Army, those who are average will go to the border garrison in various places, those who are worse will be sent to guard the army, and those who are the worst will be rejected and sent back to the military academy..."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he sat down.
"Well, this is a good idea..." The emperor squinted his eyes and nodded.
Guo Jia looked at the ministers around him and smiled disdainfully.
