Chapter 31
The Luoyang Imperial Palace was built on a high platform of rammed earth, leaning against Mang Mountain in the north and Luoshui in the south.There are East, West, North, South and Four Palaces and Yong'an Palace, and the South Palace and North Palace are the two main palace groups.

Before the Ming emperor, the emperor's court and the harem were both in the South Palace, and then the North Palace began to be built.The two palaces are separated by a mile and connected by a bridge, facing each other from a distance.

Since then, the North Palace has been the main center for court meetings and government affairs, and the South Palace has gradually become the emperor's bedroom and harem.

Cai Yong, who was wearing court clothes, was full of worries. He followed the officials into the Deyang Hall of the North Palace. He looked at the main hall, which was 37 feet long and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Looking at the fountain, I couldn't help sighing deeply: Such a magnificent and luxurious palace can no longer set off the majesty of the Han Dynasty, which is a bit ironic.

Especially the fat man before Baiguan, who walks like a crab, how can he be as respectful as a courtier?
And after the ceremony officer sang the salute, the other ministers danced gracefully in the dust, but the fat man was like a wild boar that broke into the white crane dancing, grunting and poking his butt, as if he was going to dig food in the soil... …

Cai Yong's heart hurts.

But when he thought that it was this ferocious fat man who had cleared himself of his crimes and was promoted three times a day to allow him to return to the court, his mood... was extremely complicated.

"Take your seat after the ceremony!..."

Above the Luan Hall, the ceremonial official announced in a deep and long voice.Then he looked at the nine-year-old emperor Liu Xie and slowly waved his hand, and sang loudly: "There is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat to the court."

"Your Majesty, I have something to do!" After the words fell, Dong Zhuo, who was at the front, came out holding an ivory wat and said loudly.

Cai Yong's heart sank suddenly: Sure enough, this guy who couldn't hold his fart jumped out immediately, lest others not know that you are a powerful minister who controls the government, right?

"Taiwei... what do you want to play?" Liu Xie, who was above the jade steps, wore the supreme twelve locks of the crown, but his voice trembled inadvertently.

"Recently, I have investigated the sentiments of the people and interviewed the masses. I found that the people in Luoyang are mostly suffering from the trade, and I am grateful for the hardship of the people's livelihood. I specially submitted a form to request the reform of the municipal system."

As he spoke, Old Dong took out the watch from his sleeve and handed it to the ceremony official who hurried down the stairs to get it.

When these words fell, the whole hall was shocked!
All the officials looked at Dong Zhuo as if Zheng He had brought back a giraffe in the Ming Dynasty, their eyes were filled with perplexity and shock, and then... uniform anger.

"This Dong thief... is so shameless!"

"That's right, it's okay to just hang out on the street, and you'll put gold on your face to say something about researching people's sentiments and visiting the masses. Are you that kind of person?"

"It's too much. He wants to disrupt the national policy for his own pleasure. He must not be allowed to succeed!"

In just a split second, the eyes of all the officials intertwined, and a tacit understanding reached a united front.

"Oh?...The Taiwei wants to break the regular system of 'the market opens at noon and closes at sunset', and establishes additional cities for the daily transactions of the people?"

Liu Xie is worthy of being a talented and intelligent emperor, and he accurately summed up the meaning of Old Dong after glancing at the watch.

"Your Majesty!..." After the words fell, one person came out and said indignantly: "The Taiwei's policy violates the ancient system, and it is just a whim to disrupt the country. His Majesty Wanwang thinks deeply."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Dong Zhuo and said, "Since ancient times, merchants and merchants have been a cheap business. You get something for nothing and sell it for a price. There is chaos in the community. The suppression of previous dynasties is not as good as it is. How dare you change it indiscriminately!"

Cai Yong looked up and saw that the person who came out was Han Rong from Yingchuan.This person was also requisitioned by Dong Zhuo with a bus, and he was named Da Honglu. He has always been upright and upright.

He was the first to refute, and then suppressed it with ancient etiquette, which can be said to hit the nail on the head.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face immediately became gloomy.

Seeing this, Cai Yong couldn't help sighing inwardly, remembering the conversation he had with his daughter early today.

"Father, when my uncle plays today, he will be questioned by all the officials. Uncle was born in the frontier military, and he is not good at eloquence. I hope my father will protect you."

"Zhaoji..." Cai Yong was frowning at that time, pawing at the rice, and said distressedly: "Father knows that you want to make a difference, and the Taiwei's move is also beneficial to the people's livelihood, but... you can't just do it every day just because of this." You put so much salt in cooking to entrap your father, right?"

That's right, Cai Yong has been very unhappy these two days.For the reform of Luoyang Fang City, her daughter played a small role and forced herself to express her attitude.

"Father!" Unexpectedly, when these words came out, Cai Yan's face turned cold in a rare way, and he put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Daughter knows that you have been on the run for many years, especially the death of your mother has hit you hard, and you are discouraged and don't want to interfere with the government anymore."

"However, my father is a well-known Confucian in the country, so he should plead for the lives of the people. Besides, my uncle has no selfish intentions in doing this to benefit the country and the people. How can my father retreat and stand on the sidelines?"

Looking at his daughter's firm eyes, Cai Yong saw disappointment and prayer in it.After thinking about it, he asked: "If father still doesn't do anything this time, will you cook like this in the future?"

"No..." Cai Yan shook his head.

Cai Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Cai Yan then said: "Salt is so expensive, daily purchases are limited, how can my daughter put more?... In the future, my daughter will not put a single grain!"

……

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was obviously about to get angry at this moment, he used his power to overwhelm others.Cai Yong suddenly seemed to see his daughter's disappointed eyes again, his father's love was surging, and he got up immediately to support Lao Dong.

This is the last stubbornness of an old father!

Unexpectedly, before he came out, Dong Zhuo had already said: "According to someone's knowledge, in ancient times, people were barbaric and ignorant, and it was not until the Zhou Dynasty that they gradually became polite, restraining their speech and behavior."

Looking at Han Rong, he asked, "I don't know if the ancient system mentioned by Yuan Chang refers to the disorder in ancient times, or the rituals of Zhou?"

"It's Zhou Li!"

"Among the rituals of the week, is there a saying of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business?" Old Dong was waiting for this moment, and immediately counterattacked.

The aggressive Han Rong was immediately speechless. After all, it was only during the Shang Yang Reform in the Qin Dynasty that the emphasis on agriculture was suppressed.By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were already a large number of wealthy and powerful businessmen in various countries, among which Tao Zhugong, Fan Li and Lu Buwei were the most famous.

"Business was not banned during the Zhou Dynasty, so that the world's goods flowed from north to south, from east to west, and the people got what they needed. Only in the Qin Dynasty, the army was full of war, trapped the people on the land, and the swords and soldiers were everywhere, killing endlessly. Until my great Han Dynasty unified the world and recuperated. , the people can live and work in peace and contentment.”

"At this time, you still stick to the rules and don't know how to adapt, so that the people can't sell what they need, and can't buy what they need. So you still have the face to boast in the court, deceive others with false reputation, and laugh at the ears of the world!"

As he said that, Old Dong looked at Han Rong with disdain, and waved his arms and sleeves: "I knew this before, when I went to the public bus to collect, I would be the only one less than you, and it would also save some time for the court council!"

After these words fell, Han Rong was startled.

Cai Yong was also shocked.

Yuan Kui, He Yong, Zhou Wei, Wu Qiong, and Zheng Tai were all shocked!

No, strictly speaking, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded, and looked at Dong Zhuo in disbelief: He, isn't he a rough warrior from Xiliang? How can he be so eloquent and logical?

Especially the one who dug the hole first and then waited for Han to merge into the hole before he argued witty, attacking the shield with the spear of the son is like a stroke of genius.

Han Rong, who was in a panic and confused, was ashamed and angry but helpless. He could only retreat to his seat embarrassingly, covering his face with his wide sleeves...

And Cai Yong, who had prepared a full belly of arguments, found that they were not as immediate and confident as Old Dong.Looking up at Dong Zhuo in a daze, he was so shocked that he couldn't utter a word.

Coincidentally, Old Dong also saw him at this time.

After a slight smile, he waved his hands lightly, as if to say: "Just rest, I said that today's affairs will not bother you, so I don't need you to say a word!"

"Today, I will imitate Zhuge Liang, the younger generation in the Romance, and fight against the Confucian scholars, one person will fight ten!"

"Heaven did not give birth to me, Old Dong, the eternity of the Han Dynasty is like a long night!"

"Hmph, key!..."
