Han Shizu

Chapter 1127 Father and son ask right
"What's the matter?" On the reclining chair, Emperor Liu put down the book in his hand, revealing his face with traces of time, and asked.

Yan Tuo who entered the room immediately bowed and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived in Beijing. He learned that the official's family is in Qionglin Garden. He wants to come to see him and say hello!"

"I'm back!" Hearing this, Emperor Liu raised a smile on his mouth, and ordered: "If you are tired, you don't need him to go back and forth. Let him enter the palace and visit the queen mother and queen first. I will come back tomorrow." Palace, pass the edict!"

"Yes!"

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Jia set off to return to the palace, but Emperor Liu took Qingqi to the outskirts of Kaifeng for a walk.Autumn is already strong, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grains and fruits. People in the countryside are harvesting grains and threshing millet in full swing.

It has long been reported that this year the Central Plains is ripe, and seeing this harvest scene with his own eyes, Emperor Liu also felt delighted, and the depression caused by the flood in Qizhou was relieved a lot.He returned with a relaxed mood, and when he returned to the Han Palace, it was already noon, and the prince Liu Yang came to see him immediately.

"I see Your Majesty!" In the Long Live Hall, Liu Yang saluted respectfully.

"Get up!" Looking at his prince, Emperor Liu rarely showed a gentle smile: "Have you eaten? If not, you can eat with me!"

"Yes!" Liu Yang naturally would not refuse.

For the emperor, it was a simple meal, with four dishes and one soup, three meat and two vegetables.The father and son sat down, and Liu Chengyou looked at Liu Yang: "How do you feel about this trip to the west?"

Hearing this, Liu Yang, who hadn't come to move his chopsticks, immediately stood up and sat upright, with a slightly faded face, and solemnly replied: "My son traveled all the way to Fengxiang Mansion, and as far as I can see, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, thriving, and the officials keep their duties. , the people enjoy their careers, the prefectures and counties are peaceful, the rivers are clear and the seas are clean, and the world is governed by one school!"

Emperor Liu was noncommittal about his answer, but asked: "I heard that you have disposed of some officials and promoted several young men?"

As soon as Lao Tzu said this, Liu Yang became more cautious. He glanced at Liu Chengyou carefully, and then said: "The sun and the moon are bright, and there are still shadows. In the world, it is inevitable that there will be treacherous officials. The court has set up judicial supervision. It is also for the purpose of investigating treachery and lawlessness. On the way to the west, when I encountered injustice, I dealt with it angrily. As for the people who are removed, the Ministry of officials can strictly assess them, distinguish their merits and demerits, and then make arrangements."

Seeing his nervous appearance, Emperor Liu smiled: "Everything can be done in accordance with the court's rules and regulations. You are the prince, and you have your own judgment, so I have no opinion!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you for your trust!"

"What's the situation of the soil fields in various places?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

Emperor Liu has always attached great importance to the issue of land annexation, and Liu Yang also understands it.After thinking for a while, he said: "From a child's perspective, although the population has been increasing these years, the land is still abundant. The households in each state own more land. According to local officials, since the imperial court introduced the transaction tax regulations, the number of private land transactions has also increased. Greatly reduced. Moreover, ordinary people, whose livelihood mostly depends on one side of the land, will not trade easily."

"Have you visited Hezhong Mansion, how is the situation?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Liu Yang said: "Because of the famine, there were indeed many powerful landlords who took the opportunity to buy land from the common people. There were many who bribed ink officials, concealed their land registration, and engaged in tax evasion. Seven of the officials dealt with by my son were in office. In the river."

"Look, after so many years of the court's laws and regulations, things like this still happen in the river. In a small river, there are so many people who take advantage of the loopholes in the law, and even openly break the law to deceive the court. What's more, the world How big is it? From this we can see that the world is not just what you see it to be!" Liu Chengyou said.

Seeing this, Liu Yang immediately said: "It's because I don't know enough!"

"But on the bright side, you should be happy if you want to be happy, and you should be happy if you want to be happy. The ministers also said that the big man has ruled the world. I also believe that they will not be unanimous and keep everything from me!" Emperor Liu smiled again.

Liu Yang said: "How dare the ministers deceive you? How can I deceive you with my father's wisdom?"

Regarding Liu Yang's compliment, Emperor Liu seemed very calm, and said: "You know, the system of the imperial court has been fully implemented. Why are there still so many illegal violations of the law?"

Wen asked, Liu Yang thought for a while, and then said: "Is it because of the officials who carry out the duties?"

"That's right!" Liu Chengyou showed some satisfaction, and then said: "No matter how perfect the system is, it needs people to implement it. However, people's hearts are unpredictable and different. As long as there are some problems in employing people, a good policy can also be implemented." Bad policy can turn into bad policy, and good governance can turn into bad policy.

The system is dead, but people are alive!To govern a country well, we must first employ people. If people are used correctly, the country will live in peace and the people are safe. If people are used wrongly, they will suffer! "

Liu Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard what Emperor Liu said, and he digested it for a while before responding: "Your son has been taught!"

In his heart, he secretly guessed that Emperor Liu really had a problem with promoting those officials himself.He raised his eyes to look at Liu Chengyou, then lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the dishes in a daze.

Liu Chengyou continued: "I will give you another mission!"

"Please show me!"

"Observe people! Whether it's public officials, or relatives, or even traffickers and pawns, you will pay more attention to it in the future, and submit a copy of your observations to me every month!" Liu Chengyou ordered.

"Yes!"

"You have to remember that you don't need to be smart enough, and you don't need to be all-rounder, but you must be accurate in judging people, you must know people, and employ people. In this way, things can be done well, and the country can be peaceful!" Liu Chengyou continued.

"Thank you dad for teaching me!"

"I heard that you met some interesting things and met some wonderful people in Luoyang?" Emperor Liu's tone became relaxed again.

Hearing this, Liu Yang also showed a smile on his face, and said: "I never thought that this matter has also reached my father's ears. When my son was in Luoyang, a scholar named Zhang Qixian stopped him and offered advice. , in order to make progress. Chen Shiyan's affairs: leveling the party, enriching the people, feudalism, filial piety, promoting the virtuous, Taixue, Jitian, selecting good officials, prudent punishment, and punishing rape. My son thought this person was interesting, so I invited him to have a meal meal."

Liu Chengyou was also happy: "This is indeed a wonderful person, and he is brave enough to stop you, the crown prince. What do you think of him?"

Liu Yang said: "I feel that this person does have a certain level of knowledge, and the ten strategies he said have merits. Although there are many empty talks, there are some things that the court has been implementing for many years, and some things that the court will soon go to. Do"

"It's good that you have your own understanding, and you haven't been fooled by his boastful talk!" Emperor Liu nodded and said, "However, it is not mediocre to have that kind of courage and insight. Since this person stands in the way of giving advice, I think it's okay. How did you arrange for an official position, have you ever given him an official position?"

Liu Yang shook his head: "My son gave him ten pennies to help him continue his studies and participate in the scientific examination two years later!"

Emperor Liu chuckled, and said: "A consistent strategy, and I also met you, the prince, and made a meal. This person is not at a loss!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang couldn't help being happy: "I just think that if this person goes to high school, it will be more beneficial to his career!"

"Okay, don't mention this piece of Qi Xian, and show me the notes you wrote on the west tour later!" Liu Chengyou ordered.

"Yes!"

For a long time, Emperor Liu has been like a school teacher for the cultivation of his sons, constantly assigning homework for them to complete.Liu Yang is also used to it. When he goes on a tour, he also thinks about what he sees, hears, feels and thinks.

"By the way, you have also stayed in Luoyang for a while, what do you think of this city?" Emperor Liu asked suddenly.

Liu Yang thought for a while and replied: "The thousand-year-old capital has a profound heritage, and in terms of prosperity, it may be second only to Kaifeng."

"Someone suggested that I move the capital, what do you think?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

Regarding this, Liu Yang suddenly became cautious, looked at Liu Chengyou, and said just now: "I heard from my father that there must be three cities in the world. They are in the middle of the world, and the water transportation is smooth, and the shape is better than the danger."

"Then you agree to move the capital?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Liu Yang was silent for a while, and replied: "My son thinks that Luoyang may have three benefits, but it is old and near the Yellow River, so it is not enough to bear the weight of the capital. Moreover, Tokyo has been the capital of the world for a long time, and it has a lot of entanglements to move it rashly. "

Emperor Liu had the idea of ​​moving the capital more than once, but it had never been implemented. There were quite a few people in the court who understood this idea. Naturally, people who flattered the emperor were indispensable, but more people chose to remain silent.Silence is an attitude.

As for Liu Yang, he only talked about the issue of moving the capital, and he didn't blindly cater to himself under his power. Emperor Liu was satisfied with this.

So, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's eat first, the food is almost cold"
