Han Dao world

Chapter 170

Listening to Fushou's explanation of the origin of the Lujiang Zhou family and the Runan Yuan family, Liu Xie knew that Zhou Zhong's words were not only aimed at the scholar Sun Rui, but also at him.

Specifically, it was against him for sending Guo Tu to Tingwei Prison for trial.

The reduction of the northern army was the system of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, and Luoyang was also the capital established by Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu.Expanding the Northern Army and abandoning Luoyang are all violations of the ancestral system.

For him who wanted to emulate Emperor Guangwu, this is undoubtedly a very serious accusation.

But Liu Xie didn't care.

Whether many things are serious or not, the key lies in whether you care or not.

If you care, it is very serious.

You don't care, that's all.Although it cannot be said that there is no impact at all, it is by no means fatal.

For the current situation, the important thing is whether it can find a foothold, not whether it violates the old system of Guangwu.

There is a saying that Liu Xie didn't say.

If the old system of Guangwu remains unchanged, ZTE will be like a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror, which is beyond reach.

After receiving the support of Shi Sunrui, Liu Xie immediately ordered Shaofu Tian Fen to set off.First go to Hongnong to distribute supplies, and then go to Pingyang to pass the edict.

Of course, the imperial edict does not directly say that they want to crusade, but instead reprimands the Huns for the crime of plunder and orders the Huns to come to face the saint.

Before officially issuing the edict to set off, Liu Xie held a court meeting.

Not only ministers and ministers attended the meeting, but also ministers such as Shizhong and Doctor Guanglu attended the meeting. Several generals headed by Duan Wei also received the edict, put down their military affairs and rushed to attend the meeting.

Regardless of whether the Huns wandering east of the river will bow their heads and surrender, the war against the Huns is imperative.

The Huns had already crossed the line and occupied most of Bingzhou.

For this reason, Liu Xie ordered Cai Yan and Pei Qian to cooperate to draw a topographic map of Bingzhou, marking the current distribution of the Huns in the counties of Bingzhou.

Although Cai Yan is from Chenliu, she was born in Shuofang and grew up in Beijiang as a child, so she is no stranger to Beijiang.

Pei Qian's grandfather, Pei Ye, served as governor of Bingzhou and general Du Liao. Pei Qian often heard Pei Ye talk about Bingzhou affairs when he was a child.

The distribution of the Huns in Bingzhou was drawn by these two people. Although I can't say that it is [-]% accurate, it is roughly correct.

Before the meeting started, Cai Yan and Pei Qian modestly asked the ministers who came to make suggestions and revise them in time.

Looking at this map, almost everyone was silent.

Although we all know that the situation on the border is unstable, but seeing that most of Bingzhou has been reduced to a barbarian ranch, leaving only Taiyuan and Shangdang relatively intact, I feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Some people can't accept it, and wonder if this map is a bit exaggerated.

Song Guo, who used to be the governor of Bingzhou, let out a long sigh. "Why do you gentlemen hide your ears and steal the bell? Whenever there is civil strife in the Central Plains, the Hu people will go south to plunder. If they can't save themselves with strong troops, Luoyang will inevitably be reduced to a pasture..."

Before the words fell, a sneer came from behind. "Strengthen the soldiers to save themselves? The story of the violent Qin Dynasty may be a little longer, you may not know it. It was twenty years ago that Xiaohuan devoted all his power to the country and ordered Duan Jiong to flatten the Eastern Qiang. How could you have forgotten?"

Song Guo looked back and saw Zhou Zhong arched his hands, walked over unhurriedly, glanced at him lightly, walked to the corner by himself, and took a seat calmly.

"Are the Qiang people safe now?" Zhou Zhong asked again.

Song Guo gritted his teeth, let out a long sigh, turned around and sat down, and did not talk to Zhou Zhong.

In terms of eloquence, he must be no match for Zhou Zhong.

He purposely chose a position far away from Zhou Zhong to avoid direct eye contact with Zhou Zhong.

Seeing this, other people took their seats one after another, pretending not to see Zhou Zhong.

Everyone is in the officialdom, so how can they not know that Zhou Zhong is not kind, and no one wants to be the sharpest.

Although Liu Xie couldn't see everyone's expressions in the internal account, he could imagine the scene outside, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Are these ministers all dumb, just watching Zhou Zhong speak out?

Fu Shou saw it in his eyes, and quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, only a wise and heroic lord can have direct ministers. Your Majesty must not conflict with Dr. Zhou."

"Conflict?" Liu Xie snorted, full of disdain. "He deserves it too?"

Fu Shou cast an angry look. "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the enemy. Although the Lujiang Zhou family didn't pass on the Confucian classics, they are familiar with the classics, the words and deeds of the saints, the system of the Han family, there must be classics, and there must be evidence for their words. It is not easy to deal with."

Liu Xie nodded and stood up. "It's okay, I have my own clever plan, and I will let him come and go."

Fu Shou smiled softly and smoothed out the folds of Liu Xie's clothes. "The concubine believes that, whether it is the battlefield or the court, His Majesty is invincible."

"Is it just the battlefield and court?"

Fu Shou blushed, turned around and hid behind the curtain.

Liu Xie smiled, stepped out of the tent, and came to the big tent in front.

Under the command of Taichang Wang Jiang, all the ministers got up and saluted Liu Xie.

Liu Xie sat down, and all the ministers took their seats again.

Liu Xie turned to look at Cai Yan who was on the side.Cai Yan took two Confucian scholars, sat on a side table, and prepared to record.

"Cai Lingshi."

"The minister is here." Cai Yan stood up and saluted.

"Today's big discussion, all the ministers will speak freely, I'm afraid the three of you will not have time to record it, so call two more people to come."

Cai Yan hesitated. "Your Majesty, these two are the only ones that can be used. Others may be able to transcribe, but they are slow to record. I'm afraid it won't help."

Liu Xie frowned, and just about to speak, a person stood up behind Yang Ding, the rear general, and rushed forward, it was Yang Xiu.

"Your Majesty, I can help Cai Lingshi."

Pei Qian also stood up. "Your Majesty, I can do it too."

A person also stood up behind Shaofu, it was Liu Ai, the attendant. "Your Majesty, I can also help you."

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan. "how?"

Cai Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a seat, a desk, and brought pens and ink.

Taking advantage of Cai Yan's preparation, Liu Xie said: "Cai Lingshi, this court meeting is of great importance. Be sure to record it in detail, copy it in time, and ask the speaker to sign it in time. After the end, compile it into a document as quickly as possible and copy it Various temples."

"Wei." Cai Yan bowed to accept the order.

The faces of the ministers were a little disturbed.

It is common to send someone to record during the court meeting, but this is the first time that the speaker is asked to sign on the spot.

Listening to the tone of the emperor, not only is he preparing to have a big fight, but he also wants to leave a record for future generations to comment on.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Zhong stood up and bowed to salute. "Your Majesty, I'm so stupid, who dares to ask who made this system?"

Liu Xie smiled. "I just decided, is it?"

"Your Majesty is the sovereign of the world, so it is natural to create a system. But I don't know what rules are there, and what is the basis for rituals? As far as I know, there are officials who live and comment in the palace. The left history records the words, and the right history records the deeds, so as to prevent the mistakes of the master. , I have never heard of a minister discussing matters. As for the minister who ordered the speech to sign, it is even more unheard of. Does your majesty want to sin with his speech, and suspect that the minister's speech is not sincere?"

Before Liu Xie could answer, Zhou Zhong looked at Cai Yan again. "I heard that women have been officials since ancient times, but they are only limited to the palace. When can they be seen in the court hall and stand side by side with the ministers?"

Everyone looked different, and countless pairs of eyes looked at the emperor.

Everyone knew that Zhou Zhong was going to attack today, but they didn't expect Zhou Zhong to be so fierce, and he got into a fight with the emperor before the topic started.

Only Jia Xu looked as usual, motionless, like an old monk in meditation.
