Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 722
Liu Xi was waiting in the Houde Hall when he saw the angry Cao Cao walk into the Houde Hall.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Cao bowed himself, and Liu Xi could clearly see a trace of grievance on his face. Liu Xi was taken aback, and quickly got up to help Situ Gong, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with Situ Gong?" ??"

"I want to impeach Shang Shu Ling Guo Jia, this guy is too deceitful!!" Cao Cao said angrily, and then told the so-called crimes of Guo Jia one by one, very clearly and carefully, Liu Xi pointed out He lowered his head and listened carefully, but also slowly frowned, and said displeasedly: "Guo Jia's actions are indeed a little too much, don't worry, Mr. Situ, tomorrow, I'm going to hold a court meeting, Mrs. Guo Jia, I It will not bypass him!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Cao immediately bowed again, and Liu Xi hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile, "It's just a matter of trivial matters, Mr. Situ doesn't have to do this. For these things, Mr. Situ should just write me a letter. Why bother?" What about worrying? Situ Gong can rest assured, and there is no need to be polite. The main reason for inviting Situ to come here is for the matter of the Japanese island." Liu Xi went straight to the topic.

He handed the letter written by Xun You to Cao Cao. Cao Cao took the letter in surprise, sat in front of the emperor, and read it carefully. After reading it for a long time, Cao Cao threw the letter on the table in disapproval, and asked Said: "Your Majesty called the minister here for this purpose?"

"Oh? Mr. Situ thinks something is wrong?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty saw this letter, but felt that his eyes lit up, and he was astonished?"

"indeed so."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty doesn't know, Prime Minister Xun is a very evil person, please punish him for the crime of deceiving the emperor by stealing the strategy of the predecessors!" Cao Cao said disdainfully, Liu Xi's eyes widened, "The crime of deceiving the emperor?? "

"That's right. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and even earlier, the sage had not yet come into the world, but this strategy had already appeared. The so-called reform of the wind is the strategy of the predecessors. From the land of the Central Plains, China has continued to Spreading towards the surrounding area is the strategy. At that time, the ancient Chinese rituals were still used to make the Quartet surrender and educate. At first, except for the hinterland of the Central Plains, Yan was called barbarian, Qi and Lu were also barbarians, and later, Bashu , Qin, and Chu are the same. But now?"

"Xun Xiang said, the predecessors have already implemented it, and only now has the vastness of the Han Dynasty. Hahaha, it is ridiculous that he, Xun Gongda, actually fooled the people of the world with the strategy of the previous people. Do you think we are ignorant?" Cao Cao's words are full of disdain. In front of the emperor who was thinking, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Of course, this strategy can be implemented, but this fame cannot be credited to Xun Gongda... I can improve this strategy and implement it!"

Liu Xi laughed, his smile was a bit weird, looked at Cao Cao in front of him, nodded his head lightly, and said, "Shan, since that's the case, how about discussing this matter with the officials tomorrow?"

"Please!"

Cao Cao left soon, but Liu Xi was lost in thought. Cao Cao has a fickle temperament, and he really can't see through it. Sometimes, he is so forthright, tolerant, and heroic, but some Sometimes, he would suddenly become petite and intolerant, Liu Xi lightly clasped the copybook with his fingers, slowly closed his eyes, thought for a moment, then picked up the paper and started to write.

As he was writing, he asked Qi Yue to call the imperial physician Ling Hua Tuo.

Qi Yue thought that the emperor was not feeling well, so she hurriedly called Hua Tuo into the Hall of Houde. Hua Tuo walked into the hall of Houde, and without waiting for the emperor to say anything, he sat directly in front of him and began to help him. Taking the pulse, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and did not withdraw his hand. Hua Tuo let go and said, "Your Majesty, the dragon is fine. However, looking at your majesty's face, it seems that lack of sleep these days, your majesty, fatigue is the most likely disease. of."

"I understand, Duke Hua, it's not for these things that I invited you here."

"Oh?"

"Mr. Hua, I hope you can participate in tomorrow's court meeting. I may entrust you with an important matter."

Hearing the emperor's words, Hua Tuo was a little surprised, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am old, and I don't have the slightest literary talent. I'm afraid I will disappoint Your Majesty." The medical science is like military science, you will serve as the sacrificial wine and teach more doctors. If there are enough talents, we will set up medical clinics in various places, supported by temples, for the common people to see patients."

"Your Majesty is benevolent!!!"

Hua Tuo stood up quickly, and was about to bow to the emperor. Liu Xi quickly stretched out his hand, but he didn't accept his bow. Hua Tuo is very old. Liu Xi can't accept such a big gift from an old man, it's against the rules, " Hua Tuo doesn’t have to be like this, I just have this idea, and the specific implementation needs to be discussed by the court officials...” Hua Tuo, who has always been prudent, wet his eyes, and said excitedly: “Your Majesty doesn’t know.”

"When the common people are sick, few people will treat them in the medical center. Because of money, the doctors have no choice but to eat all kinds of herbs. The herbs themselves are also expensive, and the doctors dare not treat them casually. The common people have no If you have money to go to a doctor, you can only go to various alchemists, eat their pills, and go through all kinds of tossing. Whether you can be cured depends on God's will. Many diseases that old people don't take seriously at all can wipe out a whole family ah!"

"And there are also many liars in the local area, who pretend to be doctors and seek wealth and death. Only the rich and powerful can afford real capable doctors to treat them." Hua Tuo said, Liu Xi frowned, Hua Tuo He really didn't know the things he was talking about. Originally, he just wanted to open a medical center so that some people who couldn't pay the fee could receive medical treatment, but now hearing Hua Tuo's words, he suddenly felt that if he could The medical center does not charge at all, and it is borne by the state. I am afraid that the treasury will be overwhelmed immediately.

It is easy to see a doctor, but to cure a disease, it is true that all kinds of medicines are needed. Liu Xi is clear about the preciousness of these things, so the temple will only bear part of it, and the rest will be supported by the patients themselves?Liu Xi was thinking in his heart, and tapped the wooden table with his fingers hurriedly. Hua Tuo could see that the emperor was in a complicated mood, so he didn't speak again. Liu Xi thought for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Hua, those herbs. If there is more accumulation and concentrated cultivation, will the price also drop a little?"

"Your Majesty, if there are enough herbs, it will naturally be so, except for some extremely precious and rare ones."

"Duke Hua should have told me about this matter early on. I didn't know it. I thought that all the people in the world would be like me. If they feel a little uncomfortable, they can call a doctor to treat them. I thought that if there is no money, at least the money to see a doctor There should be, but I didn't expect that the common people don't even have the ability to see a doctor, let alone cure it. No wonder, no wonder, from Jianning to now, there is no war in peace and prosperity, and the increase in household registration is still the same slow."

Liu Xi sat on the Hu chair with a dazed expression.

He suddenly looked at Hua Tuo, and said, "Mr. Hua, I will order all the officials to do their best for this matter. Those who seek wealth and murder should all be damned. I hope that Mr. Hua can teach a group of outstanding disciples." The people who can heal the big man also thank Duke Hua for letting me know these things. From now on, I won't think about the big plans of my family and country all day long. I should go for a walk in the countryside and live for a while. Take a look at the real big man world, what else is needed."

"Your Majesty is merciful!!"

The next day, the court meeting began.

Cao Cao led the crowd into the main hall and sat down. The three men still didn't speak much and ignored each other. Cao Situ wanted to chat with Liu Bei, but Liu Bei stopped talking to him and turned his head away. During the days, he was a little scared by this Lord Situ, and he didn't dare to approach him again, and most of the other officials were close to Cao Cao. In the war belonging to the three princes, Cao Cao can be said to be the leader .

They just waited for a while, then Liu Xi came in, Cao Cao led the crowd to pay respects, the emperor paid his respects, and the court meeting began.

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia in the distance, his eyes were a bit unfriendly, as if he was telling Guo Jia, I will definitely deal with you in this court meeting. Sure enough, the emperor just ordered the court meeting to start, and Cao Cao couldn't wait to stand up Come, and said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Shang Shuling Guo Jia!! As Shang Shu Ling, Guo Jia neglected his position, left everything to his subordinates, persecuted the officials of Shang Shutai, and blamed this on the minister. body"

When Cao Cao spoke like this, Liu Bei wanted to shield Guo Jia. He was thinking about how to refute Cao Cao, but when he looked at Guo Jia, he found that Guo Jia was smiling, without any fear, or It was a little bit of worry, it seemed that there was a plan long ago, and the emperor sitting above did the same, without the slightest surprise, Liu Bei just sat down and did not interfere with this matter.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, the emperor frowned, looked at Guo Jia angrily, and asked, "Guo Jun, is what Situ said true?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, remembering the letter sent by the emperor yesterday, immediately nodded, and said: "It is true! The minister is guilty!"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, everyone in the court was shocked, including Cao Cao.

The emperor sneered and said: "In this case, I will never let you go lightly! Come on! Take Guo Jia out!! Get rid of his position!!" The emperor opened his mouth, and the two guards stepped forward and held him directly. Guo Jia was about to leave, the officials were shocked, so was Cao Cao, his eyes widened, he just wanted the emperor to punish Guo Jia a little bit, why did the emperor suddenly dismiss him from his post? ?
Liu Xi looked at Guo Jia who was being escorted away, and then said: "Shangshutai is an important place, and the position of Shangshuling is also indispensable, so the servant of Shangshu shot Cao Chong as Shangshuling!"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, he stood up abruptly, and said hastily, "Your Majesty, no, how could the five sons of my family, who are still young, achieve this position? The position of Shang Shu Ling is extremely important, and a child cannot be held! ", Hearing Cao Cao's words, Liu Xi smiled and said: "No problem, although Cao Chong is young, he is very talented, and there are many people to help him, so he can take on the job."

Cao Cao was speechless, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Cao Chong is weak and sick."

Liu Xi frowned slowly, and all the officials could see that the emperor was already angry. Naturally, Cao Cao could also see it, but he knew better in his heart that if Cao Chong were to take the position of Shang Shuling, he would not be able to bear it. After a month, he is afraid that he will be exhausted to death, how can this be done?

"Never mind, no matter, Cao Situ is the third prince of the country after all. If that is the case, then the position of Shang Shu Ling must be seriously thought about. Then let the servant shoot Yuan Xi to take this position."

What? ?Yuan Xi? ?Then, can Shangshutai still have the ability to implement the decree I issued? ?
Cao Cao shook his head quickly and said, "Your Majesty, no!!"

"Hehe! Cao Situ!! You have such a big posture!! Guo Jia was also impeached by you. I will help you and dismiss him, but you don't agree with Cao Chong and Yuan Xi. Why, do you want to let him go? You, Situ, who is also a minister!! Do you still have me in your eyes?!!" Liu Xi stood up immediately, and shouted at Cao Cao, who looked blankly at the emperor above him, speechless.

"Cao Situ!! Tell me!! Who should I appoint as Minister?! Should you come up and decide for me?!"

Hearing the emperor's fury, Cao Cao took a deep breath, but he didn't have any countermeasures in his mind. Looking around, the guard had already grasped the spear in his hand, and Lu Bu in the distance squinted his eyes, tightly Staring at himself, all of this put great pressure on Cao Cao. Under the eyes of everyone, this lonely Cao Situ slowly bent down, looked at the emperor in front of him, he possessed himself, and whispered Said: "I plead guilty, and I hope His Majesty will punish me severely!"

Liu Xi looked at Cao Cao, who was possessed in front of him, and squinted his eyes.

Liu Xi was young, except for those confidants in the Eastern Palace, these courtiers from the Xiping era, no matter how much they respected them, they still felt a little disapproving in their hearts. After all, Liu Xi had never killed anyone and had no blood in his hands. No matter how old he was, but because of his gentleness, humility, and enthusiasm, Xiping's ministers still didn't respect him, maybe they respected him, but they definitely didn't fear him.

And the most powerful person among Xiping's ministers has now possessed himself and stood in front of him, begging for his tolerance.

When Liu Xi's sharp eyes looked at the rest of the people, everyone lowered their heads.

"Where is Zhijinwu?!"

"I am here!!"

"All those who flattered Cao Situ and impeached Guo Jia just now will be arrested and removed from office. In my temple, there is no need for such flattering villains!"

"In addition, today is the anniversary of Emperor Xiaokang's death. I see that you are laughing and laughing without any sadness. Take those grinning ones with me. There is no need to gloat in my temple."

"Your Majesty, how to deal with it?"

"kill!"

When Liu Xi uttered those cold words, everyone in the court suddenly trembled and trembled all over, while those who were taken out were crying loudly and begging the emperor for mercy, but this emperor, who has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, Seeing these people being escorted out by Lu Bu so indifferently, he didn't care at all.

Liu Xi looked at the officials and asked in a low voice: "My lords, the court meeting may have started?"
