When the ministers walked out of the Hall of Houde, Cao Zhi hurriedly caught up with Zhuge Liang who was about to leave and walked to his side. Cao Zhi pulled him back, which seemed a bit rude. Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at him. , asked with some confusion: "Zijian? What else can you do?" Cao Zhi frowned and said displeased: "Zhuge Linggong, I have always admired you, and I have always thought that you are a member of the temple. A true loyal minister, why don’t you dissuade His Majesty from today’s court meeting?”
"Oh? Discourage what?"
"Of course I discourage the elimination of the country. Originally, I shouldn't discuss this matter because my brother is also a vassal king. However, these vassal states surrendered with courtesy. Emperor Xiaokang and Emperor Xiaoxian retained their thrones and appointed The prime minister went to govern the country and established counties and counties in the country. It was said to be a country, but in fact it was just a state of the Han Dynasty. If it was governed so well, why should we eliminate the country?"
"If this is the case, will it cause turmoil in those vassal countries? I think the King of Kushan also saw their situation and surrendered just now. If this continues, I am afraid that no one will trust me, and no one will trust me in the future. The country has surrendered..." Cao Zhi said, looking quite worried.
Zhuge Liang smiled calmly. Cao Zhi's words just now seemed not to have touched him much. As the two were walking on the road, Zhuge Liang said: "You are right. Indeed, there is no difference between the governance of a country's prime minister and the governance of a state's pastor." Yes, it seems like a superfluous move to eliminate the country, but you still don’t see it deeply enough. The so-called memorial to eliminate the country is actually not the emperor’s idea, but comes from a minister who has passed away.”
"Xun Linggong?"
"No, it's Prime Minister Xun."
"Xun Xiang served as Prime Minister of Japan all his life. At the end, he gave me his book. Due to some contents, I cannot pass this book on to others. However, I can tell you clearly that no matter what Whether it is the Kushan or the Japanese, the reason for their surrender is not because of the reputation of the Han, but because of the strength of my Han. Because I am strong and the other is weak, we can make foreign countries return to their hearts, not the vassal system..."
"In addition, the matter of eliminating the country was informed by Prime Minister Xun. Although the governance of the Prime Minister's country and the governance of the state pastor are the same, there is one thing that is different, the sense of belonging... Do you understand?"
"A sense of belonging??" Cao Zhi was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: "Does it mean that people in the vassal country don't have a sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty?"
"Haha, according to what Prime Minister Xun said, in the Japanese country, the people spoke elegant language and wore Han clothes. However, they only talked about the Japanese country. Even the Han people transferred there from Youzhou also regarded themselves as Japanese people, and they did not belong to the Han Dynasty. I feel less than towards my own country. Therefore, in this court meeting, I did not object to His Majesty’s proposal to eliminate the country. Not only that, I will also support it. Sun Quan is right. Within the Han Dynasty, only the remaining A family and a country..."
"As for the question you asked about whether other foreign countries will surrender in the future, I think when the Northern and Southern armies go over to meet with them, they will probably surrender." Zhuge Liang said, ignoring the stunned Cao Zhi and laughing. Then he left here.
In the first year of the Tianji, the emperor issued an order to abolish the country. At this moment, the Han Dynasty was the most powerful, but those vassal states had no strength, not to mention that Hu'er was also inexperienced. He didn't care about himself and insisted on going his own way. Under Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan Under the planning and implementation of others, the Han Dynasty forcibly made Fuyu a Fu County and included it in Ningzhou, Zhenla Kingdom into Linzhong County and included it in Jiaozhou, and Funan Kingdom into Zhe County and included it in Jiaozhou.
Such actions by the emperor made the Japanese king, Hejian king, Chenliu king and others extremely frightened. Fortunately, Liu Qu did not take action against these clans surnamed Liu and cleaned up some of the original major counties. He just transferred the Japanese king to
In Jizhou, he became the king of Nanpi. He eliminated the Japanese state and established Haidong County, which was governed by Ningzhou.
After doing this, or issuing these edicts, Liu Qu went on to marry his wife. All major affairs in the court fell on the servants of the three orders. The ministers in the court finally discovered that the emperor was cute.
On the other side, the best thing about today's emperor is that he is willing to delegate power, and he will not impose too many restrictions on ministers. He doesn't care about it. The administration of officials is handed over to Sun Quan, the farmland is handed over to Deng Ai, and the economy is handed over to Liu
Ba, there are Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in major matters, the Northern and Southern armies are in the military, and Ma Jun is in technology, why do you care about so much?
This is what Liu Qu thinks. His temperament simply cannot sit still in the Hall of Houde. What's more, he doesn't know as much about these things as these ministers. They must be better at operating them than him. In this case, he
No need to worry.
Sitting in the harem, holding his son's shoulders, watching the little guy walking on the ground with a smile, Liu Qu smiled from ear to ear, while not far away, Wang Yuanji just smiled and looked at the father and son, with the little one.
The guy played for a long time, until the little guy felt hungry, Liu Qu handed him over to the nanny in the palace. Liu Qu and Wang Yuanji sat together and chatted about the little guy. Wang Yuanji then said: "I went to pay a visit."
Princess Raoyang...she is still in a very low mood, why don't she let her son come back to stay with her?"
"I have had this idea for a long time, but Lord Zhuge refused to agree. He insisted on saying that nothing can be done without hard work... I have no choice."
The two talked for a while, and then Liu Qu said: "By the way, in a few days, I'm going to hold a big ceremony in Luoxian County! It's called Wudian! Let the Northern and Southern armies, and the border guards from all over the country, send a military brigade
Come to Luo County and let them have a big competition to see which army is the most outstanding. I will personally reward the most outstanding army. What do you think?"
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of doing this?"
"Luo County is too boring, and we can't just stay in the palace all day doing nothing. We have to find something to do..."
"But if this happens, the officials will object... After all, it will cost a lot of money to organize the ceremony..." Wang Yuanji said, but Liu Qu waved his hand disdainfully, and said: "This money can be
It is different from food. Food is piled up in the treasury. It is useful in case of disaster. But what is the money piled in the treasury for? Didn't Liu Jun say something before that it is better to use it to activate the economy?
Woolen cloth!"
"Besides, as long as Zhuge Linggong does not object, I will ignore the rest of the people!" Liu Qu said domineeringly, so in the evening, Zhuge Liang, Liu Yi, and Pang Tong were disposing of the memorial in the Houde Hall.
, Liu Qu suddenly walked into the main hall, and the three of them stood up in a hurry. Liu Qu sat on the main seat and asked with a smile: "I have really troubled you all these days. How about it? Nothing big happened recently?"
"The canal is still being built with all our strength. According to this speed, it will probably be two years before the Grand Canal planned by Cao Situ can be completed..." Zhuge Liang said, and looked at Pang Tong aside. Pang Tong
Just now he continued: "Since the promotion of Yankang rice, various places have come forward one after another, hoping to get more rice seeds. The grain production of many states and counties has been greatly improved...the specific values..."
"Okay, for the specific value, Pang Linggong will send it to me on another day. I can take a look at it myself... If they want rice seeds, then give it to them with all our strength. Anyway, mulberry farming is the top priority.
, cannot be ignored!! We must fully support the mulberry industry!" Liu Qu ordered, and the three of them agreed. Liu Yi just said: "Your Majesty, Ma Linggong has recruited another group of great craftsmen...
He asked Your Majesty to reward some of them for their meritorious service..."
"Hahaha, easy to say, no problem! I will go there in person tomorrow!" Liu Qu said.
After the three of them finished talking about important matters, Liu Qu just said with a smile: "In the year of Tianji, the country is peaceful and the Han Dynasty is strong. As for me, I hope that the whole world can see the strength of the Han Dynasty, and I hope that the people of the world can be immersed in this
In the midst of strength... I have an idea. Let the Northern and Southern armies, and even the border guard brigades from all over the country, each send a military brigade to Luoxian County to hold a big competition, so that everyone in the world can see the strength of the Han Dynasty. What do you think?
"
Hearing the emperor's words, the three of them thought about it. Pang Tong was the first to say: "Your Majesty's proposal is good. However, I think it should be expanded appropriately. For example, it should not only be limited to the military, but also allow officials from all over the country to expand."
Bring out the most abundant grain, or fruits, and let the craftsmen use the most advanced machines developed by themselves, so that all walks of life can compete..."
"Okay! Okay!" Liu Xi exclaimed happily. He loved the excitement the most, so there was no reason not to agree. Zhuge Liang frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "Although the idea is good, but now it is...
To build a canal, I'm afraid there won't be enough money to hold such a grand ceremony..." Zhuge Liang was hesitating when Liu Yi suddenly laughed and said, "I have a way..."
"oh?"
The other three people all looked at him, and Liu Yi said calmly: "We can arrange this palace with a big merchant. There is one person in Luo County. Liu Chan, the son of Liu Sikong, has a very big family business.
, and several other big merchants, let them prepare for the ceremony. In addition, they are allowed to set up selling points for food and specialties around the ceremony. In this way, they will not suffer too much loss, and the national treasury will not be depleted.
too much..."
"Okay! It's settled!!" Liu Qu said excitedly, and none of the three orders objected. Although such behavior will indeed consume some financial resources and manpower, overall, it can indeed play a certain role.
, if the emperor is happy, then let him do it, the three of them almost all thought so.
As a result, the matter of finding merchants from various places once again fell on Liu Yi. As the third order of the dynasty, Liu Yi naturally would not go to these merchants personally. In fact, he himself was unwilling to do this.
However, the emperor wanted to let Yuan Shang handle the matter. After thinking about it again and again, Liu Yi thought it would be better to let him handle it. Yuan Shang went to look for them, fearing that he would scare those big merchants to death.
The three of them set a date for August 8, with Liu Yi taking full responsibility.
