Chapter 61: Playing Right

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play." It seems that Zhuang Qingzhai likes to see Liu Che's helpless appearance. It must be no good thing for this old guy to stand up at this time, and in Liu Che's heart, he has already sentenced this old guy to death ten thousand times.

I heard that in ancient times, there were cannon branding or chopping punishments, and Liu Che was very similar to playing a performance art on this old guy. However, there is still hesitation as to which criminal law to use.

"What does the prime minister have to say?" Liu Che's face was gloomy, and his eyes stared at this old guy viciously.

"Your Majesty, yesterday the envoy of the Minyue Kingdom came to report. It is said that the Dongou State has repeatedly violated the border of Minyue, killed the people of Minyue and plundered Minyue livestock.

The armor of Dongou is sharp, and Minyue is difficult to resist. The envoys of the Minyue Kingdom asked His Majesty to fulfill the responsibility of the suzerain, send troops to defeat the Dongou soldiers, and restore peace and tranquility to Minyue. ”

Liu Che's temples jumped suddenly, and now Lao Tzu is already smoking on all sides. Where the hell there are soldiers to support that Minyue country. This old boy is obviously squeezing himself, I must have killed you old puppet in my lifetime, no! It's better to use five horses to split the body, I heard that it is more painful. In the end, even the corpse capital can't be found, so use this.

"Now that my Han is in extraordinary times, I need to use troops everywhere. Appease the Minyue envoys, and wait for the Han to stabilize dìng. He sent a large army to help Minyue defeat Dongou State. The prime minister must do his duty to appease, and don't let the vassal state misunderstand my intentions. ”

Liu Che sent Zhuang Qingzhai away in a few words, and he really didn't have anything to say to this old man.

"As for dealing with the Yun clan's rebellion, what do you think!" Liu Che looked around at the ministers in the Xuan room. Hopefully someone can give him ideas.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. These ministers made Liu Che completely disappointed, and at such a difficult time in the imperial court, no minister was willing to stand up. came up with an idea for Liu Che, and when he raised a group of dogs, he knew how to bark. It's not as fucking as a pack of dogs!

"Speak! When the Han arrived at this time, it was the time when the virtuous ministers were needed. Speak! Usually, you have a thousand truths one by one. Now how no one farts! ”

Liu Che roared, bowing his heads one by one to the courtiers who were usually dignified.

"Retreat!" Liu Che knew that he couldn't discuss anything with these people. A kick on the bookcase, the soles of the feet hurt.

In the Chengming Palace, Qiandu took an egg and rubbed Liu Che's feet. Han Yan tiptoed in. Seeing Liu Che's appearance, he whispered, "Your Majesty." Mr. Dong Zhongshu and Mr. Dong are here. is waiting outside the hall, His Majesty is not seen. ”

"Quick, ah!" Liu Che jumped out of bed all of a sudden, and the injured soles of his feet stepped on the ground and felt pain.

"Call in yet. Hurry up. Liu Che sat on the bed with a "poof". Pointing at Han Yan and said.

"No. The minister will go. Han Yan slipped out as soon as he turned around, and Qiandu hurriedly helped Liu Che put on his boots. The emperor can't see people barefoot, especially a person like Dong Zhongshu who pays attention to etiquette.

Liu Che sat at the back of the desk in a formal suit. Behind the desk opposite sat the elegant Dong Zhongshu. This is a formal system of recitals, which is completely modeled after the Zhou rites.

"Now that the Han Dynasty is smoking, I don't know what Mr. thinks." Liu Che knelt at the back of the desk and asked reverently.

"His Majesty ascended the throne in the year of the weak crown, and some things are naturally immature. Chen heard a slang saying in Jiangnan, saying that if a needle can't be pricked into the flesh, you don't know the pain, and I summarized it as eating a trench and growing wisdom. Sometimes life needs to be experienced, and no matter how you talk about things that you haven't experienced, you won't be able to comprehend them.

His Majesty should not ask His Majesty what to do, but how to find a way to deal with it. Yes, if there is a problem, ask your subordinates. So is it His Majesty who is the emperor or His Majesty who is doing it? ”

Dong Zhongshu came up and gave Liu Che a soft nail, looking like he was pretending to be X to the extreme.

"Then please teach me how to deal with it." Liu Che was already in a mess, and at this time he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. Subconsciously, he already believed that Dong Zhongshu would definitely come up with a way. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to see him at this time.

"No matter how messy a thread is, it has two heads. The minister asked His Majesty, where is this thread? ”

"Uh...... It's me who is doing things and losing the Yun family's military horses. Just...... to provoke the present woe. Liu Che said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Is that really the case? Then what drove His Majesty to go to the military horse of the Yun family? ”

Dong Zhongshu is still the one who pretends to be X to the extreme, but Liu Che is more and more respectful. looked at Dong Zhongshu with inquiring eyes.

"The student doesn't know, please give me advice." Liu Che straightened his slightly hunched back.

"Your Majesty wants to strengthen the army, yes or no?"

"What Mr. said is exactly that the period gate feather forest has not been able to develop. The reason for this is that there is a shortage of military horses, but the Yun family sells military horses at a very high price, and the inner government ...... The inner house can't make ends meet, so ......"

"Therefore, His Majesty lost the Yun family's military horses in the name of requisition. Hahaha, then the subordinate wants to ask again. The soldiers and generals of this Han Dynasty are all the courtiers of His Majesty, why does His Majesty want to be alone in the armed period gate Yulin? ”

"Uh...... This one? Liu Che was speechless, Dong Zhongshu pierced into the weakest part of his heart with a word, but how could such words be shared with Dong Zhongshu.

Since His Majesty was unwilling to answer, then Dong would answer for His Majesty. His Majesty thought that if he wanted to rule the world, he must have an armed force to defend his rights. Yes and no? ”

"Sir...... Mr...... What the gentleman said is very true! The most taboo thing in his heart was said by Dong Zhongshu, and Liu Che's heart suddenly panicked. actually stammered two sentences in a row, which shows the shock in my heart.

"Then the question is, since the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are all the courtiers of His Majesty. Why is there no available soldier? ”

Liu Che pouted and didn't speak, but his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked straight at Dong Zhongshu.

"In the final analysis, it was the foreign relatives who interfered in politics, and the emperor's imperial power was suppressed. Although those generals were His Majesty's courtiers, they were not subject to His Majesty's command. Therefore, His Majesty had to form his own forces to consolidate the imperial power. And this is the thread, your majesty, do you say? ”

"Please teach me, sir!" Liu Che stood up and bowed to the ground, giving Dong Zhongshu a deep salute.

"In the final analysis, it is Huang Lao's learning, and Huang Lao's learning pays attention to following the trend and governing without action. But everything that follows the trend in this world is going downhill.

The accumulation of 80 years since the founding of the country in the Han Dynasty is like an eagle soaring to the sky. Where can you still use what to follow the trend, the minister asked His Majesty to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism. It is necessary to carry forward Confucianism and let the whole world know about it. There is a co-master in this world, and that is Your Majesty.

It is necessary to establish three outlines and five permanent principles, and govern the country with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and happiness. The emperor is the supreme ruler in this world, and the society of the world is tied to His Majesty. In this way, we can put an end to foreign relatives from interfering in politics, otherwise there will be no Dou family today. Tomorrow will come to the Wang family again, and it will continue on and on. After a few generations, can His Majesty ensure that his relatives are not as thoughtful as Zhu Lu is to replace him?

Therefore, His Majesty is for all generations and for future generations. The minister's proposition should be adopted as soon as possible. ”

"Uh...... What the gentleman said was true, but it was of no use to the present situation. Even if I respect Confucianism alone, the Empress Dowager and her old ministers control the government. How can I push Mr. Assertive? ”

"Hahaha, what do you think this is not a crisis but an opportunity?"

"Why does the gentleman say that?"

"This world is the world of the Liu family, but the Liu family is not alone. The princes and kings of the world are not only the shackles of His Majesty, but also the help of His Majesty. Why don't you take this opportunity to appoint more Liu clan relatives to grasp military power, this Liu clan is suppressed by the Dou family. Majesty can help his family in the name of righteousness, and they also have a share in this world. This is the opposite.

Externally, the disasters in the east, west, and south all originated from the Yun clan. Why don't you entrust someone to make peace with the Yun family, the first emperor had a deep talk with his ministers. This Yunhou was originally the minister of the first emperor who left him to His Majesty, like the pillar of the imperial court.

Now His Majesty is not only pushing this pillar stone outward, but also demolishing this pillar stone. Is there a reason why this house will not collapse? (To be continued......)
