Dahan first prince

Chapter 72 Relaxed and happy atmosphere

The core topic of this court meeting was determined, and all the courtiers in the hall finally changed their previous frowning and thinking looks, and picked up the wat board one after another, making a gesture of wanting to give birth and worship.

However, seeing the posture of the courtiers and officials, Xiao He did not nod his head to express his acquiescence, but turned his body slightly, and looked at Liu Ying who was sitting upright behind him, looking at the people in the hall with great interest. .

"At home?"

Hearing that Xiao He lowered his voice slightly and called out to himself, Liu Ying froze for a moment, and then as if she had suddenly realized, she picked up the rabbit hair from the short table in front of her.

"Zheng~"

"Country~"

"He~"

On the bamboo slips in front of her, she silently read and wrote the word "Zheng Guoqu", Liu Ying nodded in satisfaction, put the pen back to its original position, and then raised her head with a smile.

"Xiao Xiang doesn't need to ask Yu Gu about everything. Today's court discussion, everything will be as usual."

After saying that, Liu Ying did not forget to bow her hands to everyone in the hall with a gentle smile on her face.

Seeing Liu Ying's behavior, the courtiers and officials in the palace finally no longer had any doubts about Liu Ying's self-proclaimed 'just listening in', and all looked sideways at Prime Minister Xiao He on the other side of the imperial steps with tentative eyes.

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Xiao He thought for a while, and finally bowed his hand to Liu Ying with a smile, and then looked at the courtiers and officials in the palace again.

"Since that's the case, the gentlemen will discuss the renovation and maintenance of the Zhengguo Canal."

Hearing this, all the people in the hall smiled and nodded, looking at each other, waiting for the opportunity to get up and perform worship.

And from the expressions on the faces of all the officials and courtiers, it can be seen how pleasant the atmosphere of today's court meeting is.

——Today's court meeting can almost be said to be the most relaxed atmosphere since the founding of the Han Dynasty!

In the past, no matter whether it was advocated by the emperor Liu Bang, or promoted by the prime minister Xiao He, the court proceedings were always drowsy, with a faintly palpitating strange atmosphere.

Needless to say, the emperor Liu Bang, if there is a court meeting, it must be a war, and the courtiers who play the right court are basically the founders of the country!
All court councils proposed by the emperor Liu Bang are not so much court councils as military councils.

Not to mention the small fish and shrimps around Qianshi, even Jiuqing and Erqianshi, who are not the Marquis of Che, can only be accompanied by a smiling face, and the emphasis is on participation.

As for the court ceremony presented by Prime Minister Xiao He, although it was slightly better, it was not much better.

——Xiao He, although he usually treats people and things with a gentle and elegant appearance, but when it comes to business, his strength is no less than that of Liu Bang today!

Prime Minister Xiao He presided over the court meeting, although most of the topics were internal affairs, but it was not so much a discussion and discussion meeting as a work arrangement meeting.

Xiao He sat in the seat in the middle of the royal stage, called out the relevant Jiuqing and Erqianshi one by one, explained the work tasks in detail, and then asked, "Is there any objection", and the court meeting should be over.

Like today, it is undoubtedly the first time since the Han Dynasty that a court meeting that fully embodies the people's cooking and fully adopts the opinions of all officials.

Although the courtiers and officials were a little surprised by this, they did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, they felt an inexplicable affection for Liu Ying, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom.

——As an official in the center of the court, isn't this kind of participation that expresses one's opinions freely and gives advice to the country?
If you don't even have this kind of opportunity to participate in and discuss politics, then even if you are a nine minister, with two thousand shi for food and salary, what is the difference between you and a county official?
Thinking this way, the courtiers and officials looked around and exchanged glances with each other. In the end, it was a middle-aged man with a blue ribbon around his waist, who bowed to his superior with a warm smile.

"Zhonglang General Chen Bu, I would like to pay my respects to my family and Prime Minister Xiao."

The middle-aged man just said this, which immediately caused Liu Ying to widen her eyes a little, and looked curiously at the middle-aged man who was standing in the hall.

——Zhonglang Jiang Jibu!

The protagonist of the allusion 'A promise of gold'!
In her previous life, although Liu Ying had seen Ji Bu a few times from afar, she didn't have much interaction with him.

After all, at that time, Liu Ying was just a puppet emperor, and it was really difficult to get too close to General Zhonglang, who held the military power and was responsible for the two palaces.

In this life, she was finally able to see the appearance of historical celebrities up close. Liu Ying was naturally full of interest, and looked at Ji Bu with faint encouragement.

Seeing this, Ji Bu was overjoyed, but still had a polite smile on his face, looking at Xiao He who was sitting in the middle of the imperial steps.

"The prime minister asked all the officials and courtiers about the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal, but the ministers privately thought that the officials and ministers in the court mostly came out of recklessness and were better at military affairs."

"Even if there are those who keep taboo about government affairs, I'm afraid they don't know much about hydraulic engineering?"

Saying that, Ji Bu turned around with an apologetic expression on his face, and bowed his hands to the officials and courtiers on both sides to show that he had no malice.

After all the ministers in the hall nodded kindly, Ji Bu turned around again and looked up at Xiao He.

"Since this is the case, the method of repairing the Zhengguo Canal may be suggested by someone skilled in hydraulic engineering in the Shaofu."

"The ministers and others who should discuss should be the money and food needed for the construction of the canal, the labor, and the matters of comforting the people and preventing thieves."

Hearing this, Xiao He couldn't help but nodded in agreement even though he reported his lack of favor towards Ji Bu.

Seeing Ji Bu straighten up a little bit, he glanced around the people in the hall with a smile on his face, and said in a relaxed tone: "So I think that the people who you Gongqing Cao should discuss are the money, food and labor for the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal, where did they come from. "

"As for the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal, what can you do to help you?"

After saying that, Ji Bu saluted Liu Ying and Xiao He respectively, and returned to his seat with a gentle smile on his face, not forgetting to bow his hands to the courtiers and officials in the palace.

Seeing Ji Bu's behavior and recalling what Ji Bu said, Liu Ying couldn't help but smiled and nodded, and couldn't help thinking secretly.

"I thought Zhonglang General Ji Bu was just a brave warrior, but I never thought that he could even have such a view on the matter of the internal affairs counselor?"

While Liu Ying was thinking, she saw Xiao He thought for a while, and finally got up and bowed to Liu Ying, and then came to the middle of the imperial steps, facing all the officials and courtiers.

"What General Zhong Lang said is true."

"The strategy for Zhengguo Canal maintenance may be done by the craftsmen of the Shaofu's hydraulic engineering."

"What we are discussing is what each department and subordinate government can do, and where to get the money, food and labor for the renovation of the Zhengguo Canal."

As he spoke, Xiao He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and when he raised his head, an undeniable strength burst out of his temperament.

"Your Majesty's personal expedition to defeat Chen Xibu's ministers. Today there are eight captains in Chang'an, and only two remain in Chang'an."

"The meaning of the old man: Before your Majesty's class, prepare the thieves and captains to send soldiers, so as to prevent minor disturbances around Chang'an."

"In addition, the guards Zhonglang deployed in Changle and Weiyang palaces should also be doubled!"

Hearing Xiao He's words, Ji Bu and an official next to him who also wore a silver seal and a blue ribbon on his waist hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xiao He.

"Minister, please follow the order of Prime Minister Xiao!"

PS: The seal and ribbon system is related to the official system of the Qin and Han Dynasties, but there is one point that is easily confused: the seal and ribbon are not only related to the rank and rank of official positions, but also related to titles.

The most authoritative information that can be found at present is the record in "Hanshu·Baiguangongqingbiao"——

Titles: Marquis Kings with gold seals and red ribbons, Marquis Che with gold seals and purple ribbons, Marquis of Guannei with silver seals and green ribbons.

Official rank: Prime Minister, Taiwei Zhilu Wanshi, gold seal purple ribbon; more than [-] stone, silver seal green ribbon; more than [-] stone, copper seal ink (black) ribbon; more than [-] stone, copper seal yellow ribbon.

There is a problem that needs to be explained: the prime minister has a gold seal and a purple ribbon, which corresponds to the Marquis Che, but the prime minister is not a Marquis of Biche, but a prince of Bi.

In modern terms: the prime minister is a cadre at the Chehou level, but enjoys the treatment at the level of princes and kings.

As for the text, most of the Jiuqings are sealed with gold and purple ribbons, not because Jiuqing should be sealed with gold and purple ribbons, but because most of the Jiuqings at this time point are the titles of Chehou, so they can be sealed with gold and purple ribbons; Jiuqing, such as Sun Tong, who did not have the title of Marquis, still has a silver seal and green ribbon.

In the article, Zhonglang compares the rank with two thousand stones, as the silver seal and green ribbon.

The Captain of the Thief is a relatively special official position in the Western Han Dynasty. It belongs to the internal history. In the early Han Dynasty, the rank was two thousand stones.

However, with the gradual stabilization of the Liu Han regime, the public security level in the Guanzhong area gradually returned to normal, and the role of the captain of the robbers gradually declined.
