It was another court meeting, and the ministers had gathered in front of the palace early. They had not held a court meeting for many days, because Xun Linggong, who was in charge of the court meeting, was still on his sickbed.
Ji Ji fell down and never stood up again. In that state, he always asked his son to report everything in the temple to him every day.
It is really rare to see such a tiring three orders, but even so, he cannot come to participate in the court meeting. The emperor will not allow him to get up and come. He must recover from his illness before he can get up. As for Shangshu Ling
, and even went to Hezhou. For many important matters in the temple, this person contacted everyone through documents. This matter was very terrifying.
Because there is a long distance between Hezhou and the temple, including documents, such a round trip would take up to two months at the fastest. And every time, Zhuge Liang was able to have accurate discussions with these ministers, even at the exact time.
What does it mean to issue precise orders? This shows that Zhuge Linggong can predict the situation in the temple two months in advance, and can even deploy corresponding solutions and give suggestions.
This is a very scary thing. Take Liu Ba for example. Liu Ba found out that due to the temple's vigorous transportation of slaves, the overseas government's income was greatly damaged, and the national treasury was in crisis. He was about to send a letter to the temple. Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's letter arrived.
The letter mentioned that there may be a crisis in the national treasury, and the best solution is to sell the cattle raised by the temple in Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou and other areas to the local people at low prices.
At the same time, it was also on Deng Ai's side. Deng Ai had just noticed that after the land was reclaimed, there was a serious shortage of cattle in the common people's homes. Just as he was about to submit a letter, he received a letter from Zhuge Liang and released some of the cattle raised by the officials.
Give it to the people and let them farm, leaving some extra calves to be divided among various regions and raised for livestock, so that within ten years people in all regions can have cattle that can be used for reclamation and farming.
The combination of the two relieved the pressure on the treasury and prepared for the next year's farming. When Deng Ai and Liu Ba took Zhuge Liang's letter to report to the emperor, Liu Xi was shocked.
After the incident spread, some people were amazed and thought that Zhuge Liang was a genius today, while others were skeptical and thought that Zhuge Liang was proficient in witchcraft and could predict the future.
In short, Zhuge Liang's reputation has been getting higher and higher in the past few years. In addition, in the past few years, he has not even been in the temple, but he has been able to help each other in various palaces, making the Han more powerful, and his ability can no longer be improved.
No one doubted it.
Even in the absence of Zhongshu Ling and Shangshu Ling, the court meeting still began. The person with the highest status should naturally be Sima Yi, the minister. When the ministers were discussing important matters, Sima Yi finally
He drove over, but unfortunately, when he arrived, no one came to see him. The relationship between Sima Yi and the officials was not good.
During these days, due to his deliberate actions, he finally became a lonely minister in the temple and did not contact anyone. Sima Yi did not feel angry that these people did not come to visit him and ignored him in this way. He was indifferent.
Standing there, Sima Fu stepped forward and wanted to come to see him, but Sima Yi just glanced at him coldly and turned to leave.
Sima Fu was left alone, watching his brother leave in embarrassment. He really didn't understand why his brother would do this. Since his brother took office as the third commander, he rarely contacted his close relatives at home, even himself.
He doesn't like his brother very much anymore. Even if Sanling has a high status, he can't despise others so much, not to mention that he is still his brother!
Just when everyone was talking about important matters in the near future, it was finally time for the court meeting. Sima Yi led the ministers into the palace. No matter how disgusted the ministers were with him, they could only follow behind him. Everyone followed in turn.
After walking into the main hall, they each sat down, waiting for the emperor's arrival. After just waiting for a moment, the emperor had already arrived. However, what surprised the officials was that the current prince Liu Qu was also following the emperor.
, walked in together.
The ministers looked at each other a few times, and they were all a little curious as to why the emperor was so anxious to let the young prince participate in the government affairs so quickly. However, thinking about what the emperors had done over the years... ahem, no one dared
After continuing to think about it, Liu Xi sat on the upper seat, while the prince sat on the left, just opposite Sima Yi. Everyone stood up, and the prince also did the same, and bowed to Liu Xi.
The organizer of the court meeting was absent, so the emperor could only preside over it himself. "Do you have any memorials for me?"
"Your Majesty, Yuan Xi, please report!" Yuan Xi stepped forward, bowed to the Emperor, and then said: "A large-scale locust plague broke out in Liangzhou. A total of 13 counties were affected by the disaster, and the number of affected people exceeded 130,000.
." Yuan Xi said seriously. After he finished speaking, he proposed that the temple immediately provide disaster relief. The emperor nodded and immediately approved his proposal.
After him, Liu Ba got up, mainly to discuss the specific matters of the disaster relief. The ministers did not have any suggestions, so Liu Ba and Yuan Xi were jointly responsible for the disaster relief. Then came various major events in the near future.
Hu'er sat aside and watched all this curiously. If he hadn't come to the court for discussion, he wouldn't even have known that so many things had happened in the Han Dynasty.
Some people petitioned to stop the transportation of slaves outside the Great Wall, while others petitioned to exempt the migrant people from slavery. In short, everyone seemed to have different ideas. He even saw Master Shijun, who stood up and said
It turned out that the purpose of the memorial was to expand the scale of Taixue. Nowadays, Taixue can no longer accommodate so many students.
Cui Yan also suggested that Taixue could set up an exclusive campus outside Luoxian County so that students can concentrate on their studies instead of lingering in Luoxian County all day long. Huer listened to their suggestions carefully, and he finally discovered
When faced with many questions, my father would not give a standard answer in person. Instead, Sima Yi, who sat aside, became the arbiter of the court discussion, either leading everyone to agree or oppose and criticize.
This made Hu'er a little confused. After sitting here for more than two hours, everyone had just completed many discussions on this court meeting. The ministers stood up and respectfully sent the emperor and the prince away. Listening to the discussions of the ministers, Hu'er
He quickly caught up with the emperor, and the two returned to the Houde Hall together. Hu'er had many questions to ask. As soon as the two sat down, Hu'er hurriedly asked:
"Father, Sima Yi, why is it that he is in charge of the court meeting? When he speaks, no one dares to object. How can this be done?" Hu'er frowned, looking very worried about this, and Liu Xi had no choice but to do so.
He let out a long sigh, shook his head, and then said: "How do you know that he is responsible for these things?"
"Who is that?"
"Of course it's me...don't you think about his official position?"
"Your Majesty's Order?"
"That's right, it's Shi Zhongling, the person who accompanies me to review the memorials. So who does he mean when he speaks?"
"Oh! I understand, it's my father's intention. In other words, he will look at my father's expression before deciding whether to speak?" Hu'er suddenly realized.
Liu Xi continued: "You see, the court meeting is like this. The first thing to be dealt with must be the disaster situation in various places. This was originally a situation that occurred during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty. By the time of Emperor Xiaokang, Emperor Xiaokang became stronger.
I have turned this article into a routine, and now I have set up laws. Officials who dare to conceal disasters or fail to report them will be executed..."
"Therefore, when you take my seat, you must do the same. The people are the root of the great man. Even if all ongoing policies are stopped, the people cannot live. If the people cannot live,
If you go down, you will not be able to continue to sit safely in your position. Remember, remember... In addition, when listening to the ministers' report, don't rush to agree, but listen patiently to the ministers' discussions.
..Sometimes, you may not be able to see clearly."
"Don't be too arrogant. These people who have passed the assessment and come to you must be better than you in what they specialize in. Don't pick on their mistakes just to show off your talents. Whether the emperor has talent depends on it."
Whether the world was strong when he was in power, if the country was strong, even if the emperor never had a suggestion of his own in his life, he would still be a wise king..."
"But if an emperor spends all day dictating the performance of his ministers, knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and always loves to lead troops in war... to show his extraordinaryness, no matter how outstanding he is in these fields, if the country collapses
If not, then he is also a foolish king who has subjugated his country!"
In order to teach the prince, Liu Xi even put down the memorials in his hands and taught patiently. After Sima Yi arrived, he asked Hu'er to follow Sima Yi and work with Sima Yi to deal with the memorials from various places. Of course,
The main purpose was to let him know how the temple reviewed the memorials. Hu'er carefully watched Sima Yi quickly deal with the memorials from various places. Maybe he knew it, maybe he didn't know. Liu Xi didn't know.
After Hu'er had been busy all day, Liu Xi called him to his side, looked at him, and said seriously: "This time during the expedition outside the Great Wall, you managed the relationship with many captains and generals very well.
, However, this is not enough. In this case, Xun Linggong is seriously ill. From tomorrow, you will visit his old man, treat him as your own relative, and take good care of him..."
"Ah?" Hu'er's eyes widened and he asked in confusion: "How can there be any truth in the world that a king should dress like a minister?"
"You bastard! Are you a king? In the past, Taiwei Liu Ju was seriously ill. Emperor Xiaokang took medicine and served him for two whole days. If your great-grandfather is like this, who do you think you are? If you dare to reveal it in front of him
If you are dissatisfied at all, I will break your legs!" Liu Xi rolled up his sleeves, yelled, and wanted to take action. Hu'er hurriedly fled the Houde Hall.
