The big man is on the run

Chapter 120 Reform of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries System

On the palace wall, the ink is still wet.

Liu Yi put down the pen in his hand and looked at Fazheng beside him.

"Xiaozhi, since that day, I have often thought, what can I leave for my children and grandchildren in a hundred years? Will I leave me a mess like my grandfather Lingdi? No, I have to clean up the world and leave it to my grandchildren. The next peace and prosperity."

Fazheng was keenly aware that Liu Yi didn't use "zhen", but "I", which was almost a heart-to-heart conversation between friends, or confession.

Fazheng knew that Liu Yi was telling himself that he was no longer talking to the emperor, but an ordinary friend, a man who was about to become his father.

Fazheng didn't bother Liu Yi, but just stood and listened quietly, waiting for Liu Yi to continue talking.

"A generation should do what a generation does."

"I think, I should be able to do it?" Liu Yi turned to look at the corridor ahead.

"Your Majesty. There is no rush to save the land. We must first start with the farming, then clear the land, and then implement the 'fubing system' as His Majesty said. Only when His Majesty's roots go deep into the countryside can we completely save the land."

"Not this one."

Liu Yi let out a long breath.

"I have seen the suffering of the people. What I saw in the ruined temple that day, I will never forget that the world is in chaos. It is not caused by one person or one thing at all. The land can be solved, but nothing else can be solved. Many things are useless."

"Mr. Zhu and I said a word, if you want to bring peace to the world, you must first take people's hearts. The first thing is to clean up the people's hearts that have been ruined and discarded since Heng Ling."

Liu Yi walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said something.

"I plan to build a tomb in Lishan to commemorate the soldiers who died for the country, and then issue a formal edict to define everything since Hengling. Memorize, it will be recorded in the history books in the future, and it will not change for a hundred generations. Not only the characterization of He Jin's chaos at the banquet, but also the previous ones. It must be made clear, otherwise people's hearts will not be at ease. Make it clear, and it will be officially announced next year. Change to Yuan Jian'an."

Fazheng was taken aback, and didn't dare to intervene. Luckily, Liu Yi didn't ask him to provide any advice, but just needed to talk to someone and straighten out his messy thoughts by the way.

"People's hearts are like water. Now the world is boiling, and everyone is thinking about chaos. This is not good. They all think about fighting, looting and fighting with others. The normal production order cannot be restored. Therefore, we must start to educate the people, but we don't need to do it." There are too many, just make up some dramas, send people to perform in villages one by one, and explain to the people the difficulties before the court and the disasters of the Li-Guo Rebellion. It means that now that the court has settled the chaos, Guanzhong will be safe. Don’t always think about it in the future. Those who should be farming should be honest and peaceful. What is lacking now are farmers, not soldiers."

"In addition, I plan to select some outstanding young and middle-aged people from among the common people, and organize them to be trained by the instructors sent by the government and army, so that they have the ability to protect themselves in the local area. award."

There are bandits everywhere in Guanzhong now, the government and army departments can only remove the big ones, the bandits are not stupid, the small ones go back to the mountains directly, it is impossible for the officials and troops in the vast Qinling Mountains to attack one by one, so local self-defense armed forces are necessary, is also necessary.

As soon as Liu Yi finished speaking, Fazheng gave a deep salute suddenly.

"Your Majesty is wise. In this way, the people in Guanzhong will definitely appreciate your Majesty's kindness and love for the people."

Liu Yi shook his head: "The gratitude of the people is not my goal, I just hope that the people can live better, not just in Guanzhong, I also only hope that the people in the world can live a prosperous life, the people are rich, Only then can the country and the people be safe."

Liu Yi's eyes fell on the distance: "Did you know that the people are the soul of the land, if the soul of the land is lost, and there are empty and barren fields everywhere, how can the world continue to prosper?"

"Your Majesty is wise and can be a model for a sage." Fazheng replied respectfully with his head bowed.

"Role model?" Liu Yi shook his head with a smile: "Model, if you are really a model of a sage king who governs, you should listen to the ministers in everything, never change the system, and always follow the ancient rituals of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Models cannot achieve the realization of common people If you are sincere, you can't let them know how good you are to them, and your role model can't let them know how great and noble you are.

But it can let the annals of history know your existence, and let the people of later generations know that you are a good monarch, a good emperor, and the lucky star of the people, is it ironic? "

"His Majesty."

"Don't be too cautious, just be casual." Liu Yi raised his hand to support Fazheng, "I'm here today to discuss a few things with you. The emperor can't be idle for a day. The great politics of the world, Everything is in the hands of the emperor. As the emperor, I must let the people know that I can bring happiness to the people and let them live a good life, instead of just thinking about fighting for territory. Doing so will eventually lose the hearts of the people So, I also plan to encourage farming and mulberry after the Yuan Dynasty is changed, so as not to violate the farming season, and develop agricultural production. If it is not necessary, the army should fight in autumn and winter. The powerful conquer the poor and the weak."

"In addition, we must also pay attention to the matter of punishment and prison. It is said that heavy codes are used in troubled times, but I just think that in troubled times, people's lives are worthless, so heavy codes cannot be used, because at this time heavy codes can no longer scare people! Qin Shihuang Can heavy codes be used, can it still be used during Qin II?
I want to reform the existing organization, change Shangshutai Liucao to six departments, and separate the future powers of the Ministry of Punishment from Dali Temple and Yushitai. We must clarify the prison case and not impose punishment indiscriminately. The execution can only be executed after my personal approval.And don't use those messy tortures on ordinary prisoners, why torture people?Usually the highest penalty is the death penalty, and Ling Chi can only be used for extremely serious crimes, such as treason. "

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Fazheng was silent for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "Your Majesty has thought deeply and learned thousands of miles, I admire you."

"Yeah." Liu Yi nodded, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Xiaozhi, this time you come back with me, what wish do you have?"

Fazheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Liu Yi to ask such a question.

This is the first time since I met Liu Yi, I asked myself if I have any wishes. In the past, Liu Yi always asked me when he would return home, when he would marry a wife and have children.

Fazheng hesitated, but still replied: "Return to Your Majesty, the minister's wish is to follow His Majesty forever."

"I never thought about becoming a local official and then returning to the central government? Your credit is enough for a county magistrate (more than [-] households) or county magistrate (less than [-] households). There is a shortage of officials in Guanzhong now." Liu Yi looked at Fazheng. , a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

Fazheng shook his head without thinking.

He has heard Meng Da's analysis before, and now he just wants to stay by the emperor's side and hold his thighs. Anyway, the emperor will protect him from the wind and rain. If he goes to a place and leaves the emperor's side for a long time, then he can talk about some things Not sure.

"No, I don't like to be an official. Although my current position is Secretary Cheng (same level as Huangmencheng, three hundred stones), I feel that this job is more suitable. The local county magistrate is not only because The current official position of the minister is too low, and it is not suitable to be transferred. I am afraid that the minister will not be stable and cannot bear the burden. The minister wants to stay in Chang'an, learn from the experience of being an official, and advise His Majesty at the same time. The minister feels that Your Majesty You can also let the minister stay in Chang'an for a longer period of time, and then go to the local government after the minister is familiar with government affairs and has some experience."

Liu Yi nodded, and looked at Fazheng with a little more appreciation in his eyes. It seemed that he really thought about his own strengths and weaknesses, and was not in a hurry to get promoted.

"I want to establish a new Dali Temple, um. In fact, those who work in Taichang have changed their names. They are called scholars in charge of punishment, or Li, and Taichangqing is full-time. As the review and review agency of the Ministry of Punishment, the matter of punishment and prison is what I want to focus on. Pay attention, when the time comes, you can make a [-] shi Dali 掾 (that is, Tai Chang 掾)."

"If you want to stay in the capital, you should stay in Dali Temple for a while. But you have to pay attention to one thing. Your official promotion is already very fast, and you are young, so it is easy to arouse the jealousy of others. You are in Chang'an If you don’t have any special relatives or friends, make more friends. After all, the officialdom is very complicated. Don’t be too withdrawn. Making more friends will be of great help to your career. Especially in this world, friends The more you have, it proves that you have enough ability to be relied on, no matter where you are. This is the case. I will stop here, whether you want to be a county magistrate in a local area or a Dali temple in Dali Temple. You should think about it carefully. Let's make a decision."

Fazheng was so grateful that he felt a little panicked, and the meaning of Liu Yi's words was obvious.

What Liu Yi meant was that he was promoted too fast now. Half a year ago, he was Huangmen Congcheng, and now it costs [-] shi. If someone is jealous of him, they may take the opportunity to frame him.And this kind of thing is impossible to guard against. If he wants to gain a foothold in Chang'an, he must make many connections.

But Fazheng doesn't like dealing with people that much.

All he wants now is to settle down in Chang'an, and then work hard to promote his official position, so that one day in the future, he can return to his hometown and return to Fufeng to be prominent in front of others.

As for the other things, Fazheng really didn't have that much energy to think about it. He felt that now that he had the trust of the emperor, he had nothing to worry about. He just focused on doing the work assigned by the emperor.

"I would like to obey His Majesty's will." Fazheng bowed quickly.

"Well, work hard." Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction, "I'm going back to Weiyang Palace, you should go home quickly, be careful on the way, the order in Chang'an Fang City is still a bit chaotic."

Fazheng said goodbye, turned and left.
