He pulled Zhuge Liang to sit down, and several people from the East Palace arrived. Zhuge Liang had not been here for a long time, and he did not dare to go out. Taking care of the eldest princess and the children did not fall on him. He was here all day long. While studying in the mansion, I also paid attention to various major events in the temple, including disaster relief, and even military examinations. Recently, there have been only five major events in the temple, namely Chidao, military studies, examinations, disaster relief, and foreign trade.
Zhuge Liang's face is still quite good, perhaps because of the excitement after having a child, which once again made Zhuge Liang grow up a lot. He has gradually lost the impetuousness of his youth, and has a very calm and impressive aura about him. With that kind of temperament, he sat down with everyone. Of course, Liu Mastiff first asked about his cousin. Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I have named him Zhan... he is very strong..."
Hearing the words "strong", Liu Mastiff was startled. He must have followed his aunt. Zhuge Liang's handsome face, coupled with his father's figure...hiss...
Zhuge Liang said: "When your highness has free time, he comes to my mansion to see him. The eldest princess also misses him very much..."
The two chatted for a while, and the topic gradually shifted to political affairs. Zhuge Liang talked about the five major political affairs today, and said seriously: "The implementation of the five major political affairs at the same time will put a lot of pressure on the temple. It is also at the time of the reform of the Shangshu, but only I'm afraid there is no way to persuade the emperor. These five policies are all very good, especially Chidao, which is the most important. The territory of the Han Dynasty is really vast and has reached an unprecedented state..."
"In this case, it would be very dangerous if we did not build Chi Road, which would not be conducive to the temple's control over the place... Xing Gong wanted to build three Chi Roads, one from Sili to Ningzhou, one to Xizhou, and one to Xizhou. As for Jiaozhou, all three are very difficult to build. As for Ningzhou, it has to cross a river and there are many hills. It is even more difficult to build it to Xizhou... Although there is no river obstruction, the contiguous area of Xizhou is harsh. The situation is very difficult, or the most difficult..."
"Needless to say, in Jiaozhou, there are many mountains and wild beasts to cross the river..."
"Sigh, but we can also see how capable Xing Gong is. During the Jianning period, he was able to build Chi Dao in seven areas. In today's prosperous age, he may have really made great achievements, but if Xing Gong built Chi Dao in Xizhou , I am afraid that the emperor will take action against Guishang again. The previous withdrawal was only due to insufficient logistics, but if the roads are connected...Luoyang can directly transport grain and grass to Xizhou...that will be the end of Guishang..."
Zhuge Liang said that he still valued Chi Dao the most. Liu Mastiff nodded and said nothing, but Pang Tong on the side said: "However, in my opinion, Guishang will be beaten sooner or later...the more people there are, the more people there will be." The fewer fields there are, if we don’t snatch farmland elsewhere, we will only let our people starve..." Hearing what Pang Tong said, Zhuge Liang was a little unhappy, but he didn't say much.
"I sent Lu Yu to help Mr. Xing. Mr. Xing wants to build a Chi Road to Ningzhou. Now he has started to explore the place..."
"Well... what about Zhongda, Gongjin and the others??"
"They first went to Yanzhou, and now they are in Qingzhou. I don't know the specifics. It is said that a thief came out. This thief was also brave. He smashed some pagoda temples, alchemist altars, and beat the alchemists, making false claims about the destiny of heaven... .The three officials in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou took action at the same time, but failed to catch this person... Later, Duke Manchu took Zhongda and Gongjin there..."
“I wonder where such a person comes from??”
"I don't know either. It was the emperor who sent them there. I heard something from Mr. Zhang of Yushitai. It is said that he is a young student whose name is unknown. He just likes to go to the alchemists and pagodas to curse and debate. Sometimes , when he saw other people coming to offer sacrifices, he would also curse and argue. This man was also good at swords... Alas, I don’t know what kind of crazy person could do such a thing. Now the alchemists no longer dare to preach in Qingzhou and Xuzhou. ..”
"Why does such a trivial matter attract the emperor's attention?"
Liu Mastiff looked around and said in a low voice: "The pagoda set up by Emperor Xiaohuan himself was smashed by him... How can my father not be angry..."
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that he was somewhat interested in this person. If he had not died in Man Chong's hands, he might have been able to see him.
The two chatted for a long time, and Pang Tong and others couldn't get a word in. This was the reason why they were dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang. With Zhuge Liang here, all Liu Mastiff's attention would be on him, and Zhuge Liang was a man who did everything. He likes to do it personally and doesn't give them any chance to make contributions. How can they like him? Those who are closer to him only listen to him because they admire his talent.
And at this moment, in the Chancellor's Desk,
Guo Jia held the edict in his hand, his face full of disdain. Many officials below looked at this top talent in Jianning with some curiosity. He had won the first prize in all four subjects, even though he had been in the chancellery all these years. It also has a good reputation. Guo Jia read it briefly and threw the edict on the document. He shook his head and said: "This is the edict that Xun Wenruo reviewed???"
"Hey, good fellow, the assessment requires people to go on stage to fight, why not just give them fifty soldiers each to fight each other, and the one who survives in the end will be crowned the winner??"
"This is not about selecting guards or evaluating generals, but it is such a nonsense! I don't know which fool is it, but he wants to test his strength! When leading troops to fight, do the generals of both sides have to fight in front of the two armies? What nonsense!!"
Guo Jia was extremely angry. He said: "Remove these and replace them all with cavalry and archery. The art of war will not be changed. However, it must be carried out in the form of asking for advice. Also, there is no need to test too many classics. They are not Go and become a Doctor of Classics! This military strategy also needs to be changed. Let Taixue Jijiu come up with the topic? Taixue Jijiu knows nothing about fighting. Let the Northern Military Academy Lieutenant come and review the topic!!" Guo Jia directly ordered, on the spot Let the officials take care of it.
The officials at Shangshutai were a little scared and said helplessly: "Mr. Guo, this is the emperor's edict. We can only implement it, not change it. We have no right... If we violate the changes, we are disobeying the emperor's edict. I'm going to see Zhang Tu..."
"I'm so scared, just do as I say and you'll be fine!"
Guo Jia didn't care and wanted to distribute these things. The officials were about to cry and said: "We don't dare..." Guo Jia couldn't persuade them. He sighed and waved his hands. Said: "Then let's all go home. I'll go home too. I want to report to the Emperor. I, the Chancellor, can't carry out the decrees drawn up by such idiots!!" After hearing these words of Guo Jia, the officials lowered their heads. He shook his head and didn't dare to reply.
Guo Jia drove them away directly, wrote another memorial, gave it to an official, and asked him to bring it to the emperor, and then went to the backyard and fell asleep.
But in the Hall of Houde, the emperor, who was calmly chatting with Xun Yu about disaster relief, was furious at this moment. Holding Guo Jia's memorial, the emperor without saying a word directly pulled out the sword from his waist.
When he was about to walk out of Houde Hall, Xun Yu pulled him tightly. Although he hadn't read the entire content of the memorial, he already knew in his heart that Guo Jia must have written something that shouldn't be written.
.
At the Chancellery, Guo Jia was like this. He ignored etiquette and acted dissolutely. He often opened his shirt and sat in the study to work. For this, Xing Ziang scolded him countless times and deducted his salary for many years, but Guo Jia didn't care.
, every time he had a little too much wine, he would start to behave randomly. Moreover, he was one of the two ministers who were prohibited from entering the Luoyang Library. One of them was Zhang Fei. As for why he was prohibited from entering, it is easy to understand.
The other one is Guo Jia. It is said that one time he drank too much and was studying in the library when he heard someone insulting Wang Fu. Guo Jia walked behind the person without saying a word and started urinating in front of him.
After getting wet all over the man, the man almost killed Guo Jiage on the spot, but fortunately there were soldiers who stopped him. From then on, Guo Jia was no longer allowed to enter the library.
Could it be that this guy drank too much again??
Xun Yu was thinking in his heart, but he firmly stopped the emperor. In these years, he didn't know whether it was because the food in the palace was too good. With his physique, he couldn't stop the emperor at all. The emperor dragged him, step by step towards the outside of the palace.
Walking away, Xun Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Guo Jia's temperament was also influenced by his master. In the past, Emperor Xiaokang could tolerate Wang Fu, why can't your Majesty tolerate Feng Xiao???"
Hearing Xun Yu's words, the emperor stopped and his face was still red. He angrily threw the memorial to Xun Yu and said: "See for yourself, how can I tolerate this guy? I'm determined.
I'm going to kill this guy!!!" Xun Yu then took it and glanced at it briefly. In the letter, Guo Jia ruthlessly mocked the decree and said: "If you want to test your strength, you might as well find some barbarians.
Bull wrestling, the winner will be appointed as the captain of the Northern Military Academy, I don’t know what kind of fool he is to come up with this plan..."
"I thought that Wen Ruo, a talented person, could help me, but I didn't expect that he was also an empty-bellied idiot. I wanted to get along with him for nearly ten years, so I couldn't help but bathe and burn incense to get rid of the stench contaminated by him..."
"I thought that the emperor was smart and he was a disciple, but I didn't expect that such a decree could be sent to the minister's desk. Is your majesty still in good health? No illness???"
Xun Yu's eyes went dark, he just screamed "Mama" in his heart and almost fell down.
No wonder the emperor was so angry and wanted to go over and chop him. It didn't matter if he scolded himself. He had been ridiculed by him for nearly ten years and was already used to it. But the emperor, how could he dare to scold him like this? He looked at the furious emperor in front of him and forced a smile.
He said: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!!"
"What?? Congratulations, I'm still healthy and don't have brain disease????"
"Ahem, of course not. Your Majesty, I heard that only when they meet a wise monarch, the ministers dare to speak out and criticize. Doesn't he dare to write like this to show that your Majesty is wise?" Xun Yu was a little embarrassed.
As he spoke, the emperor sneered and said: "According to your opinion, I should thank him? Thank him for wishing me good health???"
Xun Yu quickly continued to read the memorial a few more times, and said with some surprise: "Your Majesty, if you look at his subsequent explanation, the method he thought of is actually more suitable. In this way, the assessment will definitely be carried out perfectly.
This law can be passed down forever, and your majesty's reputation will be passed down forever..." He used this seemingly stupid method to divert the emperor's attention. Facts have proved that the emperor really did this.
When he heard that there was a follow-up memorial, the emperor took the letter and continued to read it.
"Well... indeed, what he said is indeed good... Forget it, forget it, just do what he said..."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!!" Xun Yu bowed to the Emperor.
"Okay, stop praising me, revise the edict and send it to the Chancellor. Also, if you call Guo Jia, call him to Houde Hall. I want to have a good discussion with him...
Let me show him by the way, I am still healthy and strong..." The emperor sneered and wiped the sword in his hand.
It’s over.
Guo Fengxiao, I can't save you. You asked for it. Don't blame me!
