Looking at Liu An kneeling in front of him, Liu Yi was really shocked. This was his uncle. How could any uncle give such a great gift to his nephew? Liu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu An up, but
, Liu Yi just walked to Liu An's side, Liu An hugged him directly, hugged him tightly, and cried loudly, "Father! You finally came to see the child! I miss you!! I
I miss my grandma so much!!”
The surrounding palace ladies were stunned, and even the soldiers guarding the surroundings did not dare to move for a while.
Liu Yi helplessly looked at his uncle who was holding him and crying, feeling a little sad in his heart. He stretched out his hand and slowly stroked his uncle's back. Liu An hugged Liu Yi and cried for a long time, and then his whole body gradually calmed down.
, maybe he was too drunk, so he fell asleep like this, snoring softly. Liu Yi then looked at the soldiers around him and said: "I am the son of King Chenliu and the nephew of King Japanese. Please bring my uncle with you."
Go and rest!"
After hearing his words, the soldiers finally realized that he was the king's nephew. No wonder the king mistakenly thought he was Emperor Xiaokang. Everyone quickly saluted and then stepped forward. Several soldiers used their strength to lift Liu An, cough cough
Although Liu An is not as good as Liu Yi in terms of body shape, he is still strong. It is not easy for ordinary people to lift him. However, looking at the skilled appearance of these soldiers, it seems that it is not a once or twice thing.
.
Liu Yi thought to himself as he watched the soldiers carry his uncle to the bed and let the maids leave. Then he sat by the bed, a little confused. He was originally here to pay homage to his uncle, and he didn't expect that his uncle would
Being so drunk, it seems that he still has to go to Xun Xiang. Just as Liu Yi was thinking about it, Liu An murmured in a low voice, "Father...Father...don't blame me, I'm just trying to protect myself."
..”
Liu Yi was shocked and quickly stood up, but he did not dare to stay here any longer. He walked to the palace gate, looked at the soldiers on the side, and said: "When uncle wakes up, you will inform me about my visit."
"He, in addition, I will stay at the Prime Minister's Mansion. If my uncle is looking for me, I can send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion..." The soldiers quickly agreed, and Liu Yi hurriedly left the palace.
When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the officials enthusiastically took him to the study with great respect. Liu Yi's eyes widened and he asked, "Isn't the Prime Minister here? Where is the envoy Pang Gong? Where have they gone?"
?”
The official replied: "Liu Jun, they have left the royal city, probably to inspect the Japanese island... Prime Minister Xun asked us to welcome Liu Jun. If Liu Jun doesn't want to rest at the inn, he can stay here, or
Yes, if Liu Jun wants to go out for fun, we can take Liu Jun to find some lively places..."
Liu Yi nodded, but felt a little regretful in his heart. He would have followed Pang Tong to the Prime Minister's Mansion if he had known it. Now it was better. They all left him and ran away. He didn't know what to do. The officials asked people to bring out some food.
Then he said: "By the way, Prime Minister Xun also has instructions. The man Liu Jun injured on the boat was the captain of the gate of Wangcheng. Now he is still lying on the bed. Ahem, Prime Minister Xun wants Liu Jun to
The medical bills are out..."
"...."
At this moment, Pang Tong was already following Xun You, riding a carriage and driving on the road. To be honest, Pang Tong had never seen such a poor and backward place. The roads here were simply terrible. The carriage kept shaking, and his whole body
He was about to fall apart. He had never seen such a broken road. There was no cultivated land on both sides of the road, and there were even fewer vehicles. No wonder so many people wanted to impeach Prime Minister Xun!
Pang Tong was thinking in his mind, but Xun You disagreed. He looked at the situation around him and whispered: "It is easy to govern, but difficult to change the trend..."
"Xun Xiang... I think the change of wind has almost been completed. Is it time for the easy part?" Pang Tong asked cautiously. He had been staying in the prosperous Luoyang for a long time and suddenly saw such a city. Pang Tong felt in his heart
It is really unacceptable that a pavilion in Luoyang is much richer than the county town here! The gap is too huge. Even if we don’t compare it with the capital, Ningzhou, which is the closest to here, is better.
Countless times here!
Xun You shook his head and said: "It's still a little worse..."
"The literary style here is even more prosperous than that of Luoyang!! Is it still far behind??"
"It's just a little bit worse, it's faster..."
Pang Tong also considered himself to be smart, but at this moment, he really couldn't understand what Xun You was thinking. When would he be considered qualified? Sitting on the carriage, he walked all the way from the royal city to the south, visiting various places.
, the situation is similar to that of the royal city. Official scholarship is everywhere, and there are scribes wearing Confucian robes everywhere, speaking fluently and elegantly, and even debating the principles of Confucianism.
After traveling to many places, Pang Tong gradually seemed to understand something in his heart. From time to time, he would stop and think seriously. Xun You would not interfere with him and let him think. The more he visited, the more Pang Tong felt
The idea became clearer and clearer, and he also began to write some reports about local areas and sent them back to Luoyang. He had a vague feeling in his heart that many of Xun You's policies on Japanese islands could be applied to many areas.
Today, the emperor is not obsessed with expanding the territory. Although a lot of cultivated land has been opened up in the southwest, he has no interest in many small countries in the northeast or even some countries south of Kushan. Mainly in these places
It was too poor, not suitable for farming, and the people were sparse. According to the emperor's idea, it was better for the temple to spend its energy on these places than to govern the Central Plains area.
As for these places, as long as they nominally submit to the Han Dynasty and contribute their resources, the Han Dynasty will spend their production on the management of the Central Plains area, obtain a large amount of raw materials, and after processing, they will become something that the Han people can use.
Products, in addition, some defective products that have been eliminated, and even products produced by workshops can be sold in these areas to further gain more wealth, thus forming a cycle.
They are poorer and the big men are richer.
Previously, Pang Tong always felt that the emperor's actions were very clever, even smarter than Xiaokang and Xiaoxian. During their reign, the first two emperors had been committed to acquiring new lands and constantly increasing the Han's territory and people.
, but their role in improving national power is limited. They are wolves and the surrounding countries are sheep. What they do is eat the sheep and turn this place into the territory of the wolves.
Although the wolf's activity range has become huge, the wolf has not become stronger because of this. Instead, it has to spend more energy on these territories.
When the emperor came to the throne, he adopted a new idea. He stopped eating these sheep and allowed the sheep to breed freely. He also gave the wolves some meat regularly. The wolves continued to eat the meat and became stronger and stronger.
The sheep are getting thinner and thinner. Not only that, but after eating the meat provided by the sheep, they have to send their feces back in exchange for more meat. This is too much.
Pang Tong has always regarded the emperor as his confidant. Many times, others could not see some of his thoughts, but the emperor could always see that he wanted to limit the imperial power by law. Even Man Chong thought he was
It was to support the family and restrict the officials, but the emperor had already seen through his inner thoughts, so he drove him to the Japanese island. Although he was driven away, Pang Tong was still very happy. After all, the emperor understood him.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he was somewhat like an ancient saint. He left everything to his ministers. He only stayed in the Houde Hall, never went out, and would not make any suggestions of his own to the ministers. Because of this, the emperor
He was especially loved by everyone just now, but if you think about it seriously, the entire temple is controlled by the emperor, and everything is implemented according to his ideas. It took Emperor Xiaokang five years to create such a situation. Emperor Xiaoxian
It took ten years, but today it only takes four years...
Precisely because of this, Pang Tong felt that the emperor would definitely understand what he was thinking. After seeing these policies of the Japanese island, Pang Tong suddenly had a different idea in his mind. Can temples be like this in other places? Da Han
It is a country of benevolence and righteousness. It helps friendly countries build official schools, teaches saints knowledge, gives away books, regularly collects their children, enlightens them, and sends them back to their hometowns. This is the real mission of the Han Dynasty!!
The mission of the Han Dynasty is not to preach the way of saints, spread Confucianism to the world, enlighten the ignorant, let the ignorant understand what benevolence and righteousness are, what ethics is, and let them bathe in the glory of saints. This is the right way!!
Thinking of these, Pang Tong became a little excited. Confucius said: There is no distinction between education and distinction...
The wisdom of the sages!
Sitting in the carriage, looking at Pang Tong who was smiling foolishly, Xun You couldn't help but move his position. Mainly because of Pang Tong's appearance and smiling like this, it was indeed a bit scary, but Xun You could probably guess what he was thinking.
What, the reason why he went to great lengths to welcome Pang Tong was because he had this idea. He hoped that the envoy could understand his thoughts. It seemed that these days of busyness were not in vain.
Just as he was thinking about it, Pang Tong came to his senses and suddenly bowed to Xun You and said, "Thank you very much!"
"Um?"
"When I arrived at Japan Island, I realized that what I thought about in the past was really too small. My eyes were only on one country, but now, I think about something else..."
"I wonder what you thought of?"
"I thought of a circle..." Pang Tong raised his hand and gestured, grinned, and said: "A big circle that worships Confucius, teaches Confucianism, and recites elegant words..."
Xun You smiled softly and said nothing.
The two of them were out on a tour, but Liu Yi was making a big fuss in the royal city, which was notorious. The royal city was not big, so Liu Yi only took a few days to finish it. When he was bored, the officials took him to the so-called lively places.
, As a result, they were all official schools, or Shi Jing, which could not compare with the scale of Luoyang. Liu Yi was naturally extremely disappointed. Fortunately, he still discovered the fun. It turned out that outside the official schools in Wangcheng, there was a place where scholars were conducting
A place for debate.
As a result, this Gongyang apprentice immediately launched a campaign to conquer Guliang.
For a time, the royal city was extremely lively. Countless Confucian scholars came on stage and started a debate on Confucian classics with Liu Yi.
Liu Yi either used his words or took action, and actually won twenty consecutive victories.
During the official wine ceremony, some of the great scholars and celebrities who came here could not sit still and led their disciples up one after another, making things even more lively.
Naturally, Liu An came to see Liu Yi a long time ago. He kept silent about what happened that night, and Liu Yi didn't talk about it either. The uncle and nephew were enjoying themselves happily.
When Liu Yi started the debate, Liu An earnestly advised: "Yi'er... you have to be steady in your work, not childish, generous and broad-minded. Confucianism is based on tolerance. Gu Liangxue
It is also a great way that has been passed down to this day, and there is a certain truth to it. Besides, you are the grandson of Emperor Xiaokang and a disciple of Gongyang, so..."
"You must not lose!!"
"If you dare to disgrace Emperor Xiaokang, I will skin you!!"
Um??
Liu Yi was stunned.
ps: I’m busy with school, so I’ll just update once today, and two updates tomorrow, please don’t rush me, thank you for your understanding.
