When Liu Xi slowly opened his eyes, the imperial doctor's order was already standing beside him. Qi Yue was standing not far away, wiping her tears. Following the imperial doctor's order, Qi Yue rushed over and looked worriedly.
Looking at the emperor, he asked: "Country? Have you woken up... I didn't take good care of you. I deserve to die. The country..." He actually started to cry.
Liu Xi was speechless. He struggled to sit up and looked around. He was still in the Houde Hall. He looked at the imperial physician Ling beside him and asked, "What happened?"
"The country is too tired, and I just fainted. I hope your majesty will put your health first...", the imperial doctor said with some fear. Only then did Liu Xi remember what happened. After thinking for a moment, he asked again:
"How long have I slept?"
"Your Majesty has been sleeping for seven hours, and it's almost dawn today..." The imperial doctor said, Liu Xi rubbed his forehead, and for some reason it felt a little painful. He looked at Qi Yue again and said sternly:
"Don't cry anymore. This matter has not been revealed." Qi Yue shook her head and said: "I called the imperial doctor's order and never informed the others. Even the queen didn't know."
"Well, that's good, don't let the Queen know these things..."
Liu Xi said, looked at the people around him, and ordered: "Don't tell anyone what happened today. Violators will be severely punished!"
"Here you go!"
............
On this day, the Shangshu Desk was also extremely lively. As soon as Shangshu Ling took office, he wanted to make some changes to the Shangshu Desk. He wanted to turn the entire Shangshu Desk into a high-speed machine.
Everyone must summarize their own gains and losses and propose future development directions. Although this gives everyone an opportunity to display their talents, it is definitely not something that can be accomplished easily.
They have a lot to do every day. When the second group meeting was held, most of them seemed a little tired. Of course, a few young people had smiles on their faces. It seemed that during this period,
They still came up with a good idea. When everyone greeted each other and walked into the Chancery, they were surprised to find that Zhuge Liang had been waiting for them.
Everyone bowed to him one after another, and Zhuge Liang also returned the bow one by one. By midnight, everyone had arrived.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhuge Liang didn't even exchange any more greetings with everyone. He looked directly at Deng Ai who was sitting in the front. As a servant of the Nongfu, Deng Ai always sat in the front, not because of his status.
The highest, but the Han Dynasty emphasized agriculture. No matter what mansion it was, it could not compare with the peasant mansion. This was also the rule in the Han Dynasty temple. Deng Ai saw the look in Zhuge Liang's eyes and slowly said:
"This year... the farmers of the Han Dynasty are prosperous... However, I went to Liangzhou and other places to inspect and found some problems... their... their... reclamation
Although there is a lot of land, much of it is poor. The yield is very low, and some even produce less than four stones per mu... I think that if we can change these barren lands and make them fertile, many people who cannot farm will be able to survive.
The land can be cultivated, and the development of mulberry farming will be better..."
"There are many types of barren land, one of which is called dry soil, which is mostly in cool... cool... places. There is a lack of water and it is difficult for crops to grow. The land is cracked... cracked... I sent people to look for it.
Many old farmers, according to an old man named Wang, can improve the dry soil by covering it with silt and sand on the water side..."
Deng Ai's stuttering did not get better with age like Ma Jun did. It seemed to be getting worse. However, he still expressed his thoughts bit by bit. This man is a practical man, even if
Even in the cold winter, he was able to travel around, just to find out how to improve some land. Fortunately, after this period of time, he did achieve some results in improving the land.
After listening to Deng Ai's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh: "It is really a great achievement to be able to improve the soil quality and increase grain production. Your merits will be determined by heaven. Your Excellency is indispensable in the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs."
It’s time for a seat..."
Hearing that his policy was accepted by Zhuge Liang, Deng Ai was overjoyed and continued: "I hope the temple can help me continue...continue...continue...to do this..."
"Can!"
Zhuge Liang agreed to him neatly, and then looked at Sun Quan. Deng Ai gave everyone a good start. Sun Quan seemed to be confident, and he talked about the achievements in officialdom this year and even last month without thinking, and continued.
: "The official government is able to select talents and promote talents, but there is no clear standard for removal or demotion. Therefore, I thought that for different official positions and different officials, a standard should be set, either surplus or flat.
Or not profitable."
Zhuge Liang listened attentively until Sun Quan finished speaking, and then he happily expressed that he would ask for a reward for Sun Quan.
The success of two people in a row may have put enough pressure on many people. Everyone talked about their goals one by one. Regarding the suggestions in various aspects, some of them were excellent, and naturally there were some shortcomings. For those who put forward good suggestions
Zhuge Liang praised all the people one by one and asked them for rewards. For those who had no good suggestions, Zhuge Liang also said sternly that if the situation continues next time, he should not continue to sit in the position of Pu She.
This sentence really frightened everyone. They did not expect that Zhuge Linggong, who had always been approachable and lenient towards others, had such a strong side. He even had the intention of abolishing the dignified servants. Zhuge Liang
He always did what he said, and no one felt that he was intimidating them. It can only be said that for a while, many people were sweating profusely.
Since the new official system, they have not experienced such critical times for a long time. When they walked out of the Chancery, they looked at each other and could not complain. They still missed Xun Linggong in their hearts. Although Xun Linggong said
They won't be given many opportunities to display their talents, but they won't be thrown into such a predicament either.
There is no way. If you want to keep your position, you have to continue to perform meritorious service. Failure to do so is just a fault. Alas, everyone just woke up at this moment and truly understood the meaning of this sentence. It seems that after Zhuge Linggong came to power, this temple will not be the same.
It's such a mess, those mediocre people, even the harvest people, will probably be driven out of the center of the temple by Zhuge Liang to make way for the talented people.
However, is he really not afraid that his behavior will arouse the emperor's jealousy? Abolition of servants and recommendation and arrangements by himself is exactly what a powerful minister does. After waiting for a long time, the emperor has no intention of punishing him.
Those who were interested were desperate. After a few months, Zhuge Liang actually abolished the three servants, which shocked the officials in the temple.
Several Zuo Cheng sent a memorial to the Emperor to impeach Zhuge Liang. This memorial went to the Hall of Houde and was never heard from again. The Emperor ignored it.
In this way, time has come to the end of the sixteenth year of Yankang.
In the palace, Liu Xi looked panicked and kept wandering in the Houde Hall. After walking for a while, he couldn't help but stretched his head out to listen to the sounds outside the door. Everyone was kicked out by him.
Today is the day the Queen is giving birth. It may be said that since last night, the Queen has been preparing to give birth. However, until now, there is no news.
Since the death of the father-in-law, the queen has become increasingly weak. The imperial doctors are extremely worried about the queen's childbirth. The one who is most afraid is Liu Xi. Liu Xi stood outside the East Palace all night yesterday and did not wait for any results.
Afterwards, while waiting in the Houde Hall, the emperor suddenly became furious and drove everyone out of the hall. However, he was pacing in the Houde Hall, his hands trembling all the time.
He didn't want to hear the sound outside the door, but he had to lean in and listen. He was really afraid that he would hear the cries of the eunuchs.
He didn't want to hear crying, and he couldn't hear crying. He wanted everyone to laugh and congratulate him outside the door... Liu Xi took a deep breath, and his whole body was trembling with great fear, and he was shaking.
Liu Xi put his hand to his mouth and took a bite. Liu Xi then forcibly calmed down and wandered uneasily. Suddenly, he heard someone talking outside the door.
Liu Xi hurried to the palace door and listened carefully.
"The bleeding...continuous...needs a medical doctor..."
He just vaguely heard a few words, and his face suddenly became paler. He almost fell to the ground. He held the wall with both hands and sat down slowly. He grabbed his hair with both hands and felt more uneasy. The big man
The Emperor was leaning against the wall without courtesy, huddled up. He was so scared that he wanted to block his ears. He had lost his master, his parents, and he could not lose his wife and children again.
..
Liu Xi slowly raised his head and looked at the roof in confusion.
What did I do wrong?
Liu Xi often thinks like this. Now, he seems to be able to smell the strong smell of blood coming from outside the door, and can hear the Queen's sad cry. Of course, he knows in his heart that the Queen is in the East Palace. In any case, the smell of blood is not related to the smell of blood.
The cry would not reach here. Liu Xi felt something was wrong with him. He shook his head violently, stood up, and rushed out of the door. When he walked out of the door, Qi Yue who was outside the door was also frightened.
A jump.
Liu Xi rushed out of the Houde Hall, but did not go towards the harem. Instead, he rushed towards the ancestral temple. There are two ancestral temples in Luoyang, one of which is next to the Zhonglie Hall, and the other is in the imperial palace.
On the side, there was a door that could be passed through so that the royal family could go see their ancestors. Liu Xi walked in a hurry, and Qi Yue could only follow behind him.
Watching the emperor walk into the ancestral temple, Qi Yue couldn't follow him in. He looked at the country worriedly, but he stood outside the door.
Liu Xi knelt down and sat in front of the ancestor's spiritual throne.
"Little Mastiff, pay homage to all the ancestors... Father... Yeah... please protect my wife and children... Let them not leave me... Descendants of Mastiff, I am willing to exchange my life for the lives of my wife and children.
...Ancestors bless...Ancestors bless..." At some point, Liu Xi had tears in his eyes, and he started crying in front of the spiritual throne.
"nation!!!"
Qi Yue suddenly shouted outside the door.
"The Queen gave birth to a son!! Mother and son are safe!! Mother and son are safe!!"
