Han Dao world

Chapter 251
Pei Mao didn't argue anymore.

Mrs. Pei is not in Anyi, but in Wenxi.He had enough time to inform Wenxi's township party to occupy the land in time, and Anyi's would think it was unlucky.

Who let them know how to advance or retreat, insisting on forcing the emperor to make a ruthless move.

For these people, it's not worth breaking face with the emperor and ruining the future of his own father and son.

Even if there are a few people who have a good relationship, they are all near Anyi City, and there are still four or five days left, which is completely in time.

That's it.

Although not everyone is in favor of attacking the Hedong family, the problem of survival is imminent and must be resolved.

What's more, the demeanor of those people also made many people dissatisfied. The emperor even pardoned Wei Gu and Fan Xian, what else do you think?

Not to mention tears of gratitude, at least he should restrain himself and not push his feet.

The imperial court also needs face, and it is like doing business, handing over money with one hand and handing over the seal ribbon with one hand, what is this?
Yang Biao, Shi Sun Rui and other senior ministers also kept silent for a rare time, watching Xun Yu and Liu Ba team up to confront Pei Mao tit for tat.

They were worried that they would not be able to stop the emperor, but instead angered the emperor and started killing.

Military power is in the hands of the emperor.If the Son of Heaven really wants to go his own way, they can't stop him.

Liu Xie raised his glass again and shared a drink with the ministers.

Following the topic just now, he talked about the kingly way again with great interest.

"Situ, what is kingly way?"

Seeing that the emperor was so interested and eager to ask about politics, Zhao Wen, as a situ, couldn't refuse, so he thought for a while and replied: "The Book of Rites says: Ritual, music, punishment and government, if the four principles are not contradictory, then the king's way is ready."

Liu Xie asked again: "What is achieved and what is not achieved? What is contradictory and what is not contradictory?"

Zhao Wen was speechless.

Confucianism advocates the kingly way, but there are not many people who really define the kingly way, and it is even rarer to set standards for the kingly way.

At least he couldn't think of it for a while.

Liu Xie turned to look at Sikong and Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi bowed and said, "According to Mencius' righteousness, kingly way is benevolent government."

"What is benevolent government?"

"Everyone has the heart of intolerance, benevolent government is the government of intolerance."

Liu Xie remained silent and lowered his eyelids.

Zhang Xi closed his mouth embarrassingly.Obviously, the emperor was not satisfied with his answer.

Xun Yu stood up and bowed his hands in salute. "Your Majesty, the main purpose of Confucianism is morality. Doing benevolence with virtue is the king's way, and it is not in the balance. Punishment cannot be punished by a doctor, and courtesy cannot be inferior to a common man. How can the benevolence of a villain and the benevolence of a gentleman be the same? There are differences in their actions, and their benevolence. The heart is one, and the same returns to benevolence."

"So, isn't governing the country what you want?"

Xun Yu said solemnly: "How can the "Spring and Autumn" break the prison according to the law? To flog the people with the three-foot law is like carving a boat to ask for a sword. It is definitely not a kingly way."

Liu Xie lowered his eyelids again, turned the wine glass in his hand, smiled and said nothing.

There is no answer to this question, and that's what Confucianism does.Although it cannot be said that there is no law, it is true that they do not stick to the rules when deciding cases, and they have a lot of free time.

Surely not, but now is not the time to argue about it, or today's meal would be impossible.

Xun Yu was the backbone of his high hopes, so he had to save some face at this time.

Seeing that Liu Xie had stopped talking, Zhang Xi felt relieved and glanced at Xun Yu in relief.

It's still the young generation of the township party.

Liu Xie raised his eyelids and smiled brightly again.

"I am young and have little knowledge, and my history is also shallow. You have expressed your views, but I still don't know where to go. Dare to ask the lord, and walk in the east of the river with the king's way?"

Xun Yu's scalp began to tingle, but he couldn't back down. "Of course."

"If it takes three years, can the lord of the government make the [-] households in the east of the river have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment, without the disturbance of the Qiang outside and the chaos of the people's livelihood inside?"

"I dare not say what I will say, but I only wish to do my best to live up to Your Majesty."

Liu Xie looked at Pei Mao again. "Shang Shuling, are you satisfied with the prefect I have chosen for Hedong?"

Pei Mao smiled and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty knows people well, and the people of Hedong accept Mu Tian's grace, and they will be the hands of thousands of people, and Putu will celebrate together. How dare you be dissatisfied."

Liu Xie said quietly: "As the Shang Shuling said, the people of Hedong and all the people will celebrate each other. Even if I work hard, it is worth it. Fujun, work hard, and don't fail the teachings of the saints. Don't let me, the people of Hedong, and all the people High hopes."

Xun Yu had no words to say, so he could only accept his orders.

Liu Xielang said: "Although I am ignorant and do not know how to govern, I only wish to choose the good and follow it. The ministers govern the country, and the Taifu governs the county. I hope that the monarchs and ministers will work together and do their best to create peace for the people. In this way, the heart of heaven and earth can be established, and the sages can continue to learn. Life is to share the joy of the kings, and death is to share the blood and food of the kings, wouldn’t it be happy.”

After hearing this, everyone had different moods when they shouted long live.

Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi were naturally happy.

What the emperor said was obviously a further confirmation of his previous promise to repay the rights.If I say it in front of so many people, I'm sure I won't go back on my word.

Xun Yu felt that his shoulders were heavy, and it was not an easy task to manage Hedong well.

The emperor's request seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult, almost impossible.

The emperor made it very clear that what he wanted was for the [-] households in the east of the river to have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment.

Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui felt very sorry.

It is inevitable for Situ to rule the people, but it is becoming more and more difficult for the Taiwei to be in charge of the army.Although it is certain that the emperor is unwilling to delegate power, it is intentional.But the opportunity was missed just like that. It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets at all.

Yang Biao bowed his hands and went out. "Your Majesty, I have something to say, please consider it with your Majesty."

"Da Honglu, please tell me."

"Although there is salt and iron in Hedong, the arable land is limited, and I am afraid that it cannot support too many troops. I dare to ask your majesty to distribute the generals and feed the counties. This will not only reduce the burden on Hedong, but also protect the safety of Hedong."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao in surprise.

There is nothing wrong with this plan, and he had such a plan in the first place.

But Yang Biao raised it at this time, is it purely out of public interest, or is it an expression of concern for military power?

Liu Xie tentatively asked, "Can Da Honglu explain in detail?"

"Manpower is limited, and land resources are exhausted. There is also a fixed number of cultivated land in the east of the river. A family has [-] mu of land, and the rice is only [-] shi. The tax is [-] shi, which is not enough to support a soldier. It is estimated that [-] households in the east of the river will have their fields, which can only support more than [-] people. Excluding officials and craftsmen, the number of soldiers should not exceed [-], otherwise they will not be able to eat enough to live and work in peace."

Liu Xie's brows trembled slightly.

Lao Yang, you have my spear and my shield.

But it doesn't matter, that's exactly what I mean.

Liu Xie nodded. "What the big thrush said is true, and I also have the same intention. The former general Duan Yao is already in Shangdang, and I want to branch out to Taiyuan, Hongnong, and Feng Yi. After the Huns' rebellion is suppressed, Xihe, Shangjun, and Jiuzhou will be restored. Yuan and other counties, branch armies."

Yang Biao handed over again. "Your Majesty has far-sighted thinking, and I admire it very much. It's just that far away water can't quench your thirst. If your Majesty wants to make the east of the river the king's way, you should first reduce the burden on the east of the river. Since your majesty intends to patrol Meiji, I dare to ask your majesty to move the northern army to Taiyuan for your majesty. temple."

This time, Liu Xie understood what Yang Biao meant.

Commander Sun Rui led the northern army to move to Taiyuan, which can not only reduce the burden on Hedong, but also serve as the rear for him. It is indeed a way to have the best of both worlds.

Of course, for Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui, the most important significance of this plan is that once the Northern Army arrives in Taiyuan, even if they return to the army in the future, some troops will inevitably be left in Taiyuan to prevent Yuan Shao from entering Bingzhou in the west or leaving Jizhou in the east in the future.

When marching and fighting, use familiarity but not rawness. Sun Rui or Wei Jie, who are familiar with Taiyuan's geography, are naturally the most suitable generals.

Sun Rui made great contributions, so he had the opportunity to be promoted to the commander of the Taiwei again.

I know you don't give up.

"Yes!" Liu Xie was in the middle of his arms, and he agreed.

　The leader of the alliance, Crane Dance Baisha, added the fifth
