Mi Han

Chapter 179

Although Liu Zhang has a gentle personality, Yizhou's tyrants are powerful, and the laws of the upper and lower levels are lax.

But this is a matter of his character and ability. From his heart, he is not a tyrant who intends to harm the people.

Therefore, Liu Zhang's residence in Yizhou Mu in Chengdu was not very resplendent.

After Liu Bei took control of Yizhou, he advocated thrift and did not pay attention to enjoyment. When expanding the Mufu Mansion in Yizhou into the Hanzhong Palace, he did not make any major construction projects, but only added some buildings on the original basis.

The Chongwen Hall mentioned by Liu Bei just now is supposed to be the expansion of the Chongwen Hall in Yizhou Mufu at the beginning.

When Liu Bei was young, he once worshiped Lu Zhi, a great contemporary scholar, as his teacher. Although Liu Bei himself didn't like reading very much, he knew the importance of learning to a person in this world.

So after entering Yizhou, Liu Bei immediately ordered someone to bring Liu Chan from Jingzhou.

After Liu Chan arrived in Chengdu, Liu Bei recruited famous teachers to teach Liu Chan.

And Liu Bei placed the place where Liu Chan studied in the Chongwen Hall where Liu Zhang discussed Confucian classics with famous scholars in Shu.

Liu Bei not only invited many famous teachers in central Sichuan to teach Liu Chan, but also ordered Mi Yang, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, Qiao Zhou, Zhou Ju and many other young heroes who were famous in Yizhou at that time to accompany Liu Chan to study.

It was precisely because of this move that after Liu Chan was established as the crown prince of Hanzhong, Mi Yang and other talents gradually became known as "the four friends of the prince."

Mi Yang has been studying with Liu Chan in the Chongwen Museum for several years, so he is very familiar with the location of that place.

After passing through several palace gates in a row, Mi Yang came to the depths of the palace.

Along the way, Mi Yang was stopped by many palace guards.

But after he showed his official seal to prove his identity, Mi Yang didn't suffer too much embarrassment.

Even without the prestige brought about by the First Battle of Public Security, the name Mi Yang was known by many people in the palace.

But when he first came to the depths of the palace, Mi Yang was stopped by a general who was wearing fine armor and looked somewhat similar to him.

After seeing the general, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face. He bowed to the general and said in his mouth, "Brother Yang."

The young general who stopped Mi Yang was named Mi Wei, with a heavy handwriting. He was Mi Yang's cousin and the only son of Mi Zhu, General Anhan.

Mi Wei and Mi Yang are the same, they are not the eldest son of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

Because of the war, most of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's offspring died or got lost in the war, so in the end Mi Zhu and Mi Fang had only one son, Mi Wei and Mi Yang.

After many years of excellent breeding, the Mi family has a good appearance.

Mi Wei has the style of being a father, with a graceful and luxurious appearance, and is proficient in archery and equestrianism, and is good at riding and shooting.

Mi Wei is 11 years older than Mi Yang. When Mi Yang was young, Mi Wei had already followed Liu Bei to fight everywhere. After fighting everywhere, Mi Wei made a lot of military exploits.

In the end, Mi Wei was promoted to Captain of Huben because of his military exploits, and because of his status as a relative of Mi Wei, Liu Bei trusted him very much, and made him take charge of a part of the Forbidden Army of Huben and guard the palace.

In the near future, according to historical development, Mi Wei will become Huben Zhonglang General after Liu Bei proclaims himself emperor, and will be in charge of the imperial palace's imperial army.

For the trust of the Mi clan, Liu Bei is sincere and has never wavered.

Although Mi Wei and Mi Yang are very different in age, the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang have a very good relationship.

In addition, Mi Yang has actually been with Mi Zhu since childhood, so the brotherhood between Mi Wei and Mi Yang is no worse than that of their parents.

After Mi Yang bowed to him, Mi Wei stretched out his hand and patted Mi Yang's shoulder, and said to Mi Yang with a smile:
"Brother can't afford to be your obeisance now."

"According to your military position, it should be your elder brother who salutes you."

Seeing Mi Yang's return, Mi Wei was in a great mood. He hadn't seen his only brother for a long time.

In a good mood, he, who has always been prudent, rarely cracked a joke.

Faced with Mi Wei's joke, Mi Yang also showed a smile on his face and said: "No matter what position Yang holds now, Yang will always be my elder brother's younger brother."

"The principles of human relations are always the foundation of the world. How can there be a reason in the world that a younger brother should not salute an older brother?"

Mi Yang's words made the smile on Mi Wei's face brighter. He pointed at Mi Yang and said, "You, you, you have been able to speak eloquently since you were young."

Then Mi Wei asked Mi Yang, "You just returned to Chengdu, and you didn't go back to visit your father, why did you come to the palace?"

Facing Mi Wei's question, Mi Yang replied: "It was the king who first asked Yang to come to the palace to meet the prince."

Hearing what Mi Yang said, Mi Wei nodded.

Then he got out of the way and said to Mi Yang: "Go quickly, remember to go back to the mansion to see your father after seeing the prince, during the time you are not in Chengdu, he misses you very much."

After saying this, Mi Wei smiled and said to Mi Yang: "Zhao'er also misses you as uncle very much."

The Zhao'er that Mi Wei said was Mi Zhao, Mi Wei's eldest son, who is almost eight years old this year.

After Mi Wei said so, Mi Yang bowed to Mi Wei, took his leave and walked towards the inner palace.

Looking at Mi Yang's leaving back, Mi Wei felt warm in his heart.He thought about getting off duty sooner, so that he could go back home to accompany Mi Yang.

There are relatives, but also the reality of adversity, Mi Wei's love for Mi Yang is no less than anyone else.

In the vast Chongde Hall, Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, was sitting on his seat, listening to Yi Ji, who was opposite him, explain the official system of the Han Dynasty to him.

Yiji, courtesy name Jibo, was born in Shanyang County, Yanzhou.Yiji is from the same town as Zhennan General and Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao, and has attached himself to Liu Biao since he was young.

In the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei went to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao because he was attacked by Cao Cao.

During Liu Bei's stay in Jingzhou, Yiji often visited Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to take care of him.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, Liu Biao died, so Yi Ji turned to Liu Bei, followed Liu Bei to cross the Yangtze River south, and later followed Liu Bei to Yizhou.

In the 19th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei pacified Yizhou and took control of Chengdu. He concurrently served as the shepherd of Yizhou and appointed Yiji as General Zuo and Zhonglang.

After Yiji entered Yizhou, because he was a well-known celebrity in the world, he knew the rules and regulations and official codes since the Han Dynasty, so Liu Bei appointed Yiji and other four people to assist Zhuge Liang in formulating "Shu Ke".

After Liu Bei became queen, he appointed Yiji as Zhaowen Zhonglang General. Yiji's treatment in Yizhou was second only to Zhaode General Jian Yong and Bingzhong General Sun Qian.

Liu Bei attaches great importance to Liu Chan's education. Since Liu Chan was made the crown prince, Liu Bei has chosen many famous teachers to teach Liu Chan's classics, and he has been involved in a wide range of people.

Among them, because of Yiji's prestige, Liu Bei ordered Liu Chan to learn "Zuo Zhuan" from Yiji as his teacher.

Therefore, among the many scholars in Yizhou at present, Yiji is the only official teacher who has the ceremony of worshiping a teacher with Liu Chan.

Liu Chan is only 14 years old this year. Because he was born in the chaos of war and grew up under the care of famous ministers, his personality is a bit soft and lacks independent opinion.

Liu Chan originally planned to greet Liu Bei's return today, but his idea was blocked by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang told Liu Chan that Liu Bei would not have to go out to greet him.

After Liu Chan heard what Zhuge Liang said, he didn't even go through the normal verification process, and just stayed in the palace to study obediently. He never suspected that Zhuge Liang would deceive him.

If it were Cao Pi, when Cao Cao returned from his expedition, a minister told him that Cao Cao would not let him go to greet him.

Cao Pi's first reaction must have felt that someone was alienating his father-son relationship with Cao Cao.

In Liu Chan's mind, among the elders, the one he trusts the most is Zhuge Liang who taught him etiquette and how to deal with affairs since he was a child.

Although Liu Chan did not go out of the city to meet Liu Bei today, but continued to study in Chongwen Hall, his thoughts actually drifted out of the city unconsciously.

Wearing a brocade robe, Liu Chan sat quietly on the seat and looked at Yi Ji who was already getting old.

Liu Chan inherited Liu Bei's good looks, and because of his high status, when he was wearing Chinese clothes, although he was still young, he had already begun to exude a sense of nobility.

Now Liu Chan's eyes are mostly fixed on Yi Ji who is opposite, but when Yi Ji bows his head to read the classics, Liu Chan will always quietly look out of the hall.

I heard that my father brought my cousin back today, why haven't I returned to the palace yet?
Liu Chan, who was missing someone, couldn't sit still at the table, and his absent-minded appearance was also noticed by Yi Ji who was opposite.

Yiji was a celebrity at the time, he had a gentle personality, and he was not strict in the past.

But he also knew that Liu Bei had high expectations of Liu Chan, so he felt a little dissatisfied when he saw Liu Chan's distracted look.

What he is teaching today is the general examination for official positions since the Han Dynasty.

In the future, Liu Chan will become the king of a country, and the official position is the authority of the king. How can Liu Chan be distracted when faced with such an important content?

Yi Ji coughed a few times, pulling Liu Chan's gaze back from outside the hall, and then Yi Ji said to Liu Chan:
"What I'm talking about today is an important official position of my great man. The crown prince is responsible for the national destiny. You should listen carefully."

"Don't be distracted."

Because of Yi Ji's light cough, Liu Chan's thoughts were brought back to the palace.

Facing Yiji's harsh education, Liu Chan did not show any anger on his face.

After hearing Yiji's lesson, he took the initiative to stand up and bow to Yiji: "Zen knows he's wrong, please calm down, teacher."

While saluting Yiji, Liu Chan also showed sincere shame on his face.

Seeing Liu Chan's performance, the dissatisfaction on Yi Ji's face gradually dissipated.

Yiji Fuxu thought in his heart: "Perhaps the prince is not extremely intelligent, but his benevolence and love for the corporal have won the true biography of the king."

Yi Ji is not a rotten Confucian, and he will not catch Liu Chan just because he made a mistake. After Liu Chan admitted his mistake, he asked Liu Chan to sit down again and listen to his lecture.

After Liu Chan sat down again, Yi Ji explained the institution of Shangshutai to Liu Chan.

The post of Shangshu originated in the Qin Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the post of Shangshu was also handed down.

In view of the dictatorship of powerful ministers in the late Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, deliberately weakened the power of the prime minister.

Under Liu Xiu's weakening step by step, although Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong held high positions among the three princes and were named prime ministers, their actual power gradually shifted to Shangshu.

Under such circumstances, Shangshutai was born at the right time.

Since Emperor Shizu of the Han Dynasty, the organization of Shangshutai has been continuously improved, and it has in fact become the central organization of the central government, known as Zhongtai.

"The key to the world lies in the Shangshu."

After talking about the institution of Shangshutai, Yi Ji explained to Liu Chan the origin of the name of Qilu Shangshushi.

The origin of the name Lushangshushi began in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when it was called Lingshangshushi.

Lushang Shushi is not an independent official position, and it is often used as an official and concurrently.

When Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was first established, General Huo Guang was in charge of the government, and together with Jin Rixun and Shangguan Jie, he was in charge of Shangshu, which was the beginning of this official.

In the 18th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty came to the throne at the beginning, and Tai Fu Zhao Xi and Tai Wei Mou Rong recorded the affairs of the Shangshu, using "lu" instead of "ling".

Recorded as the meaning of the general.Recording and leading the ministry are similar, but the authority is more important.

After each emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty came to the throne, he often used Sangong, General, and Taifu to record his affairs.

Because since Emperor Ming of the present Han Dynasty, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have been succeeded by young masters.

Therefore, Lushang Shushi No. [-] appears more and more frequently, and it has almost become the standard equipment of every auxiliary minister.

Although Liu Chan is only the crown prince of Hanzhong now, people of insight know that the current emperor is like a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao, and there is a high probability that Liu Bei will continue the Han Dynasty in the future.

In this case, Liu Chan's Prince Hanzhong is, in a sense, the Prince of Hanzhong.

Yi Ji believed that as the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future, Liu Chan had to be ignorant of the extremely important Shangshutai since the Han Dynasty.

Yi Ji is worthy of being a contemporary celebrity with profound knowledge. Under his in-depth and concise narration, Liu Chan quickly understood the authority and status of Shangshutai as an institution and the great power brought by the position of "Recording Shangshushi".

Finally, Yi Ji said to Liu Chan: "Since ancient times, the Holy Lord has ruled the government, and the virtuous ministers have assisted the government. Today, the key to assisting the government lies in the Minister."

"In the future, the prince must be good at selecting good talents, and assist the prince to govern the country, so that the world can be governed."

"As for the ministers who assist the government, they must choose to be loyal and honest, and those who have made great achievements and respected are the blessings of the country."

Hearing what Yi Ji said, Liu Chan showed approval on his face.

But at this time, because of someone's return, he had a certain thought in his heart.

Liu Chan cupped his hands and asked Yiji, "Dare to ask Master Yi, Jialu Shangshushi No. [-], is there an age requirement?"

Yiji was taken aback by Liu Chan's question, which stopped him from asking.

Since the present Han Dynasty, positions such as Sangong, General, and Taifu have been given the title of Lushang Shushi in order to take charge of state affairs.

It can be seen that this kind of title can only be added by high-ranking and powerful people, but there is no hard and fast rule about the age requirements for adding the title of Shang Shushi.

After all, after people reach the high position of Sangong, they will not be too young.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Yiji replied: "This point has never happened before."

Yiji's answer made the smile on Liu Chan's face brighter.

With Master Ge and his cousin assisting him, he feels at ease.

At this time, outside the main hall, there was a sound of armor paying homage.

Hearing this voice, both Yi Ji and Liu Chan realized that someone with extraordinary status had arrived.

The eyes of both of them went towards the entrance of the hall, and not long after, the figure of a young man appeared in the light of the entrance of the hall.

Looking at the person who came towards the light, Liu Chan could not conceal a smile on his face.

He got up quickly, and then walked quickly to Mi Yang.

Long time no see, I miss you very much.
