Today is a day off.

Prime Minister Zhou Yafu lay comfortably on the collapse, enjoying this rare rest time.

Hugh Mu is the prerogative of officials.

Every five days, the imperial court gave officials a day off to relax.

At the same time, it is also an opportunity to give officials the opportunity to sort out and record what they have done in the past five days.

This is also the art of ruling that has been developed by the ruling class since the Qin Dynasty.

Starting from the grassroots Baishi officials, everyone is required to regularly report to their bosses a job brief.

The slip uses the heavenly and terrestrial branches as a table to record the important administrative process of officials, as well as what they have seen, heard, and thought.

Through this slip, the superiors learned what the officials below were doing.

Moreover, these slips are made in duplicate.

One report to the boss and one for yourself.

A hundred years later, when this official died, his descendants would respectfully bury the slip that recorded his journey as an official during his lifetime and place it near his coffin.

Thousands of years later, the descendants dug up the graves of these ancestors and found these slips, through which the descendants refreshed their cognition and views on the Qin and Han dynasties.

A piece of slips unearthed in different periods and different regions vividly present the daily life of Qin and Han officials and the process of patrolling and governing the local area.

In this way, many truths that have been buried and even falsified by history have been destroyed.

Compared with the Qin Dynasty's Jian Mu report, the Han dynasty developed a more advanced and complex reporting method.

The popularization and development of blank paper also enabled officials to record more information on the slips in more detail.

For example, this slip by Zhou Yafu's side now.

Well, it shouldn't be Jane anymore.

It should be called a briefing!

It has become the prototype of the original policy address.

It looks a bit like a wall calendar from later generations.

It is rectangular, three feet wide and seven feet long, to symbolize the dignity of the law and the gentlemanly demeanor of the officials.

The whole briefing is bound from twine.

It is divided into twelve months in total, with one page per month.

Every month, on the right side of the briefing, words are written: Yuan De built a certain month in the fourth year, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and other words, and stamped with the Prime Minister's seal.

is like the page of the briefing that Zhou Yafu is now putting next to him, which reads: In the fourth year of Yuande, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu was honored.

And on the page, the dates are distributed according to the sexagenary branches.

From Jiazi to Wuxu, it is a month.

From being ugly to being ugly, it's another month.

The twelve heavenly stems and the ten earthly branches repeat each other, and the operation records the date.

Although after his accession to the throne, it was advocated to use simpler and more convenient numbers such as one, two, three, four to record the date.

But for the aristocratic doctors, that was too uncompelling.

It is still more lofty to record the operation of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch.

Of course, as the prime minister, Zhou Yafu has to lead by example, so behind the date of the sexagenary branch, there are small numbers marking that this is that day.

Today is propane, the fifteenth day of January.

Underneath this date, there is a small square box of about ten centimeters.

In the small box, the text is written vertically: Bingwu, Xiu Mu, there is a messenger from Jiangdu, and the private letter is passed to the prime minister. The back is stamped with Zhou Yafu's own private seal.

Before this date, a small box was filled with Zhou Yafu's daily activities.

Or 'to the government in the Xuanshu Palace, Ming and the Son of Heaven to say XX things' or 'the history of the line, the history of the Shaofu, the collection of the official government to ask the government' or 'the governor of Lantai, summon the book to ask about the performance appraisal. ’

There is even a record of the appointment and dismissal of 'the prime minister of a certain Cao Ling, misperforming his duties, not being an official, and removing him'.

These texts fully illustrate that the official slips or briefings of the Han Dynasty have made progress compared with the Qin Dynasty, and it is a profound and long-term progress.

Zhou Yafu squinted at the words on the briefing, and what he had done in the past fifteen days came to mind.

Then he sat up and picked up a letter from afar.

"Jiangdu Taifu Niu Ma walked Yuan Si, and then bowed to him: Brother Wu Chu's merits, he became the prime minister, and was appointed as the first emperor to assist the young master...... Shun is in Xuanji Yuheng, and Qi Qizheng is like God......"

"The rule of each life is long, and the answer is to seal the ...... of Zen"

I watched it three times.

Zhou Yafu finally smiled.

"Yuan Si wants to ask, am I Guan Zhong, or Nan Zhong......"

Nan Zhong assisted Zhou Xuan and sealed Mount Tai, while Guan Zhong assisted Heng Gong and dissuaded Heng Gong from sealing Zen.

"The children are messing around...... Zhou Yafu dusted off his clothes: "Are you Yuan Si also messing around?" ”

And don't look at who it is today?

Is it necessary to practice meditation today?

Zhou Yafu knows too well the stinky temper of today's ideas.

The best thing to say is pride.

To put it mildly, it's tsundere and narcissistic!

For a person like him, if he wants to seal Zen, there are already four King Kongs and three loyal dogs jumping up and down in the field and making noise.

But now, let alone the noise.

The four King Kongs didn't even move at all.

On the contrary, they are all well-behaved.

It's not the pressure of the Son of Heaven that the ghost will believe it!

But......

Zhou Yafu stood with his hands down, and another thing that Yuan Ang said in his letter made Zhou Yafu a little uneasy.

"Come, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace, please see Your Majesty......" Zhou Yafu thought about it and made up his mind.

It doesn't matter if what Yuan Ang said is true or false.

As Prime Minister, he has the responsibility to ensure the current political stability and peace in the world.

And the East Palace is the foundation of the country.

If something goes wrong in the East Palace, the country's social affairs will also be in turmoil.

Not to mention, what kind of mess did this Zhao State and Chu State have again, and a scandal will be staged.

The Son of Heaven himself is happy, but the country will lose its face cleanly.

The Empress Dowager is going to have no face to see people again.

But how much better can he be Zhou Yafu?

If such a big thing happens to the country, as the prime minister, he must take off his hat and bow, and then go home to farm.

He, Zhou Yafu, still has ambitions that have not been shown!

………………………………

Jiangdu country, Guangling City.

Yuan Ang looked at the north from afar, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"The prime minister should have made a decision......

"No matter what the prime minister decides, I should follow the trend......"

"Come on, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to meet the king!" Yuan Ang commanded.

For Yuan An, no matter what Zhou Yafu's reaction was, what was the attitude of the Son of Heaven.

It doesn't matter.

He just had to follow the rhythm of the court.

If the emperor wants to seal the Zen, he will immediately instigate Liu Yan to write and sing praises, on the contrary, he will refute those who try to interfere with the monarch's father and waste the people and money!

And no matter what the result Zhou Yafu got after meeting the Son of Heaven.

He Yuan Ang will take the next step based on this result.

Just like back then, in the midst of the incident of Zhou Bo, he fished in troubled waters and followed the rhythm of Taizong.

He is the one who sings the white face, and he is the one who sings the red face.

In short, he is always in truth and justice!

And this will send an incomparably accurate message to the present day: I Yuan Si has realized that I was wrong, and Your Majesty has also received supernatural powers......

"Chao wrong, Chao wrong, I won't let you be lonely for too long......"

The text on the newspaper in Yuan An's hand happened to be the propaganda of the imperial historian Yamen boasting and publicizing his political achievements and achievements.

"Impeach eleven people with more than 2,000 stones, and 21 people with more than 1,000 stones......"

"Chao wrong, Chao wrong, you're probably crazy!"

If it is said that in the past, Chao Cuo only offended the princes and kings.

But now he is simply pulling up the hatred of the entire bureaucracy.

It's ridiculous that Chao Wrong also regards this as a successful work and a political achievement, and publicizes it everywhere.

Doesn't he know that the families of officials who were impeached by him, pulled down by him, and imprisoned by him are gritting their teeth and hating him.

At the first opportunity, these guys will pounce like hungry wolves!

I have been fighting with Chao for twenty or thirty years.

Yuan Ang is really a little unaccustomed to it, and there are no days of arguing and fighting.

"Don't fall down before I get back to Beijing......"

……………………………………

Qufu City.

More than a dozen scholars and doctors dressed in fine clothes gathered together.

"The matter of sealing Zen has been effective so far...... someone said: "From Luoyang to Chang'an, there are discussions, and the people's will is longing, presumably Your Majesty can't go against the people's will......

Countless people swallowed their saliva.

Zen sealing!

Aren't they the heroes who are close to Mount Tai who have benefited the most?

Tens of thousands of horses have come one after another, and they can make a lot of money just by selling grain.

You can even take the opportunity to use the excuse of 'welcoming Your Majesty's father of Liang and Zen Taishan', so as to apportionment all kinds of miscellaneous labor, so as to turn more people into tenants and even slaves!

Even better, even if these people had any resentment, they did not have a place to spread it.

In order to welcome the monarch and the Son of Heaven, you should suffer a little loss, and patience is also deserved!

"In the old year, there were only 300 households in the whole Jinan country!" A scholar doctor touched his beard and said triumphantly: "After today's Zen sealing, Qufu is afraid that it will be our home!" ”

"What if Your Majesty doesn't come?" Someone stood up and asked, "What if our plans are revealed?" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people were fighting in two strands.

Today, he is a king who has proved his destiny.

Folklore all sorts of legends point to one thing: in some cases, there seems to be an unpredictable prophetic power today.

If everyone's plot is revealed.

If you deceive the king, your sin will not be forgiven.

If you lose your head, you will die for the whole family!

"Don't worry, gentlemen!" Someone said: "The sky has fallen, and there is a high top, we are hidden behind the scenes, and now we want to investigate and deal with it, and we will also investigate and deal with other people first......"

"Like Kong's ......," the man laughed triumphantly.

Now in order to avoid being moved to North Korea, the Kong family is already a scoundrel, and they dare to use any tricks.

And that's where they take advantage of it.

Well, although Confucius is a teacher that everyone respects, he is the ancestor.

But this matter, once it comes, the Kong family may not be able to do anything.

Back then, Qin Shi Huang didn't have a problem with Kong's family, and he didn't dare to do anything.

Thinking about it now, I don't dare to punish the Kong family anymore.

If he died, he still migrated to North Korea.

It couldn't be worse.

This is also where everyone's confidence lies.

Our ancestors are awesome!

Lie on the merits of the ancestors and eat and drink.

Those ignorant people will even look at them with reverence and reverence to promote and even worship their own homes.

If it weren't for the nosy man surnamed Liu, who likes to meddle at the grassroots level, and even repeatedly suppressed the big guys, everyone would have owned thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of slaves.

These two, everyone still has confidence.

Those disturbances within the Liu family, who can hide it?

Everyone is just borrowing their strength.

To be held accountable, the three kings of Jiaoxi, Zichuan and Jibei must first be held accountable, as well as the troubles of the powerful people in those kingdoms.

Regardless of the final outcome, there is something to be earned by those who are sitting there.

It's nothing more than earning more and earning less.

…………………………

Chang'an, Taixue.

has been completely liberated from the Yamen of Inner History, and Uncle Tian of Taixue Mountain, who only bears the title of Inner History, slowly walked into the conference room with the support of his own people.

This place is already full of giants and celebrities from various universities.

"Tian Gong!"

Seeing Uncle Tian's figure, the doctors of the hundreds of schools of thought got up one after another and bowed as disciples.

In today's world, there are only three or five old people left who can transcend schools and ideologies like Uncle Tian and can suppress these giants.

In Chang'an, Uncle Tian is the only one left.

Originally, Uncle Tian was not qualified.

But who called him the most revered elder of the day?

The elders respected by the Son of Heaven, who dares not to give face?

Want to die?

"I've heard that someone has been preaching about Zen sealing in Taixue recently?" Tian Shuwei sat down tremblingly, and then said: "As a professor of Taixue, a doctor of Taichang, full of poetry and books, and a good understanding of etiquette, why do you want to indulge these remarks?" ”

"Today, it's hard to have a few days of peace, and some people want to make trouble, so they want to get up and down!" As soon as Uncle Tian slapped the case, his power was revealed, which scared some guys with ghosts in their hearts.

"The common people, farming is the foundation!"

"Officials and ministers, assistant-based!"

"Students, Learning-oriented!"

"In the future, if someone is found to be privately clamoring and instigating students to interfere in politics, the old man will immediately expel him from Taixue, and he will also write to His Majesty to punish him for the crime of 'disrupting national politics'!"

"Do you get it?" Uncle Tian knocked the cane on the ground three times.

"No!" One by one, one by one, in front of Uncle Tian, they bowed their heads obediently like a three-year-old child, and paused: "Servants obey the orders of the boss!" ”

Uncle Tian's identity, status and qualifications are indeed worthy of everyone's 'boss'.

Uncle Tian looked at everyone, nodded and said, "Everyone, don't think that you are old and antique, stubborn and old-fashioned, and don't know how to be flexible!" ”

"You haven't seen the tragic situation of the war at the end of Qin...... Uncle Tian said sadly: "Since Chen Shi started the incident, the heroes have risen together, competing with China, countless prosperous cities have disappeared, countless village pavilions have turned into ashes, and the learning of the sages has been even more broken and withered!" ”

"There are tens of thousands of articles written by sages and saints, but those who can survive today are only eleven!"

"Therefore, in the eyes of old decay, there is no better time than today!"

"No matter who wants to destroy today's hard-won time, the old man will fight with it!" (To be continued.) )
