Han Dao world

Governing the country is not easy.

The ideal of Confucianism is self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace. State governance is at the third level.The ambition of many people is to bring peace to the world. In fact, it is not easy to achieve family harmony, let alone governing the country.

People who always talk about "governing a big country like cooking a small fish" either don't understand the true meaning of this sentence, or they are empty talkers who can only talk about it.

It's like many people in later generations live tightly even the small life of a few families, but they think that the affairs of the country are very simple, and I can do it myself.

Liu Xie has been the emperor for more than ten years, and he has gathered the experience of being a man in two generations. Even if he has been committed to letting the three princes take charge of specific affairs, he knows that it is not easy to govern the country, and it is not enough to talk about it.

As far as raising the price of horses is concerned, a problem that seems to be solved by an edict may trigger many unexpected reactions.If he doesn't want to change the order overnight and slap himself in the face, he must first consider the chain reaction that may be triggered, at least be aware of it, and not temporarily mess up his position.

Therefore, when Yang Xiu came to see him at this time, he wanted to impeach Situ Yang Biao. Of course, it was not for him to make a decision immediately, but to let him know in advance so that he could express himself at the party later.

This kind of gathering is a rare big gathering, not only the officials of various prefectures and temples who are walking, but also the officials and planners of all counties who come to plan.Whenever there is a little news, it will soon spread all over the world.

"I see." Liu Xie handed over the document to Daqiao, asking her to mark it and remind him to read it carefully later.

Yang Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. But I still have a merciless request."

"Say."

"Your Majesty, please announce the subject's name after the decision is made."

"Why?" Liu Xie frowned.

This is not the time for righteousness to destroy relatives. Yang Xiu is his candidate for Situ. If he bears the reputation of being unfilial, it will be difficult in the future.

Besides, in his opinion, there is absolutely no need for Yang Xiu to write a letter.As long as he knows Yang Xiu's contribution.

"Not a minister, no one can do this job."

"Dezu, what will happen to you, do you know?"

"I know." Yang Xiu smiled. "I am not filial, I would like to travel thousands of miles to serve in front of the army of the Western Regions."

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, and then understood Yang Xiu's intentions.

After a long time, this kid wants to go west with him.

"Dezu, your detour is a bit far. You have gone to the Western Regions." Liu Xie laughed. "Why, you are worried that your father and the court will not agree, and you want me to come forward to offend others?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Xie snorted, was noncommittal, and waved his hands, signaling Yang Xiu to back down.

Yang Xiu is willing to go west with him, he is indeed a good helper.It's just how to persuade Yang Biao and his wife, especially Mrs. Yuan, is a big trouble.

That's not a nice old lady to talk to.To some extent, it was even more difficult than Yuan Shu.

Even if he is the Son of Heaven, he doesn't feel that he is completely sure that Madam Yuan will obey her orders.

-

Yang Xiu went out, and Liu Xie was in a daze.

When Xun Wenqian came in, seeing Liu Xie thoughtful, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she stepped lightly and asked what the bridge was about.

Ohashi dared not say anything, but smiled apologetically.Xiao Qiao talked faster, and was about to speak when Da Qiao stopped him. …

Seeing this, Xun Wenqian knew that the matter was confidential, and it was inconvenient to disclose it, so she didn't ask more questions.

She asked Daqiao to tell the emperor that Mrs. Tang had come and wanted to see him before the banquet to see if the emperor had time.

Daqiao was waiting for an answer, but Liu Xie came back to his senses and asked Xun Wenqian when he saw Xun Wenqian.Knowing that it was Mrs. Tang, she immediately asked Xun Wenqian to invite her in.

After a while, Mrs. Tang came in, followed by a little girl.About four or five years old, round face, big eyes, pink and cute.

"This is……"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for taking the liberty." Mrs. Tang took the little girl's hand and bowed down. "This is Wan, the concubine's elder brother's daughter. I came with my concubine's father and brother to see you. The concubine liked it very much, so she stayed by her side as a companion, and took the liberty to bring it to the king.

Behold the holy countenance. "

Liu Xie couldn't help but glanced at Xun Wenqian.

Xun Wenqian should know about this, but she didn't say it before, and she didn't say it just now, which is a bit deliberate.

Xun Wenqian shrugged, looking helpless.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This is the private intention of my concubine and has nothing to do with the nobleman." Mrs. Tang said calmly, "Unfortunately, the late king died young and had no heirs. Your Majesty did not abandon me and gave me blood, and my concubine is very grateful. It's just that The courtiers and concubines are lazy by nature, and they are not mothers, so they are afraid that they will not take good care of them, so they practice first and wait for the future."

Liu Xie waved his hand, signaling Mrs. Tang to stop talking.

No matter how you listen, there is a sad atmosphere.

Whenever possible, who wouldn't want a child of their own.

After asking the little girl's name and chatting for a while, Liu Xie rewarded him with two small gifts and asked Xun Wenqian to take the little girl aside to play for a while.

Daqiao and Xiaoqiao also tactfully avoided, leaving only Liu Xie and Mrs. Tang in the hall.

Mrs. Tang was a little embarrassed and bowed her head in silence.

Liu Xie thought about it for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know what you think, but I really don't have any other intentions. I just think that you can't live alone like this, and your brother can't live without blood. This is the worst I can think of. Good way, if you are rash, please forgive me, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Tang leaned back and said, "Your Majesty is serious. The blood of the royal family should not be confused. The concubine just came to accompany me for a while, and has no other meaning. Apart from being grateful for His Majesty's love, the concubine is still grateful. The concubine is just sorry. Bo, he failed to leave His Majesty Tangdi's love, but let his concubine enjoy the blessings of an outsider."

Liu Xie hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. Since you have entered the palace, you are a member of my Liu family, not an outsider. The palace is your home. You can come whenever you want. Don't There are restrictions."

Mrs. Tang thanked her with a smile, then sighed again, and said, "It's a pity that His Majesty is about to go west, and it will be difficult to see His Majesty again in the future."

"Uh..." Liu Xie was speechless.

How to answer this?
Mrs. Tang got up. "The dinner party is about to start, so I won't bother you any more. Ninety-nine will return to one, good luck. The ninth year of Jian'an will surely be a year that will be famous in history and a year that will open up new prospects. I wish your Majesty a happy new year." All right, all is well."

"With my sister-in-law's good words, I also wish my sister-in-law all the best in the new year."

Madam Tang bowed again and left with the little girl.

Xun Wenqian stood aside, looked at Mrs. Tang's back, and then at Liu Xie who was restless, her eyes flickered slightly. "Your Majesty wishes my sister-in-law all the best, but what is her greatest wish?"

Liu Xie turned to look at Xun Wenqian, momentarily at a loss.

He really didn't know what Mrs. Tang's greatest wish was.

Money and status are not important to her, at least not the biggest wish.Want a baby of your own?Maybe, but because of her special status, this wish is destined to fail to come true.Even if he is the Son of Heaven, there is nothing he can do.

So what else does she want?
Liu Xie thought about it. "Sister-in-law's father and brother are here?"

"Yes, just arrived the day before yesterday."

"Arrange to meet them next year, see their abilities, and arrange a suitable official position."
