I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 399 Sima Tan passing by by chance

With the rough outline of the Tweeting Order finalized, the morning dynasty, which lasted for one and a half hours, officially came to an end.

The originally faint morning light had turned into a scorching sun hanging high in the sky. As the courtiers walked out of the hall, they felt a little depressed as they felt hungry.

Because Chen Luo participated in this morning court as Yilang, he had to wait for all those sitting in front to leave before leaving the court.

But this just gave him enough time to think.

Chen Luo took a deep breath and half-closed his eyes.

The earlier the review is conducted, the better the effect will be.

What happened this morning was not uncommon.

It can be said that the structure of the Han Dynasty in the next ten years or so will be based on today's resolution.

In the eyes of everyone, among the things Liu Che just announced, there are probably three most important ones.

In the eyes of those people, in order of importance, they would probably implement the inspection system, reward the reformer princes, and issue favor orders.

If Chen Luo was asked to arrange the arrangement, he would switch his position between being granted the title and issuing the order of favor.

Even if you don't receive a reward today, you will still have the opportunity to receive the same reward in the future, not to mention that this is a matter that concerns one person and one family at most, and it really doesn't deserve too much attention.

In the eyes of some people, this is a sign and symbol of their entry into the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty.

Then Chen Luo can only say that he will definitely take such a step, regardless of whether he is a reformer or not, or whether he is the reward he received today.

The power and power are there. If you don't take them yourself, why should you give them to someone you hate?

As for the imperial examination system and the promotion of favor orders, they were policies that truly affected the structure of the Han Dynasty.

The imperial examination system affected the selection of officials and the structure of the court. Combined with Taixue, it formed a set of powerful boxing techniques that instantly broke the original bureaucratic system and placed it in Liu Che's hands.

As for the impact of the push order, it has been ignored for the time being. It is more like a bone-turning palm, which makes people die without realizing the danger, and they are unable to resist.

It is conceivable that as time goes by, the power of local princes and kings will be greatly weakened. As one goes and the other goes, the prestige of the central government and Liu Che's own prestige will gradually increase.

Then the huge empire has a unified will, and the chariots with flames will gallop forward.

Liu Che's long-cherished wish may be realized in the near future.

Thinking of this, Chen Luo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, "That little guy needs to grow up quickly, otherwise he might not even be able to make it."

It is reasonable to go into battle and kill the enemy at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

But if he was riding a horse and bending a bow at the age of seven or eight, then Huo Qubing must have grown up drinking animal milk.

"Chen Yi...Marquis Weixin, it's time to go." The colleague sitting on Chen Luo's left opened his mouth slightly and swallowed the original title.

Now, the person beside me is the popular person in His Majesty's eyes, the future star of the Han Dynasty. He is no longer a close colleague in daily life. There is a sad and thick barrier between them.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for reminding me." Chen Luo, who was thinking, opened his half-closed eyes, raised his head, and saw that the officials in front of him were almost gone.

Looking at Chen Luo's leaving figure, Zhao Yilang was stunned.

Just now……

Did Marquis Weixin smile at me?

Could it be that he was still thinking about the breakfast I brought him about nine months and three days ago?

And tell me that seven months and twenty-one years ago, when I went to see him off, I left a deep impression on him?

Does this mean that he means to support me?

Hiss, then do I have the opportunity to build a new big house in the west of the city and have two concubines...

Zhao Yilang stood up with excitement in his eyes. When he walked out of the hall, he found that Marquis Pingyang, Doctor Zhao and others did not leave early as usual, but waited until the end. When they saw Chen Luo, they all looked at each other. He greeted him with a smile.

Paji.

Like bubbles floating in the air being blown by the wind, Zhao Yilang's fantasy fell back to reality.

Obviously, he thought too much.

……

"Boyu was granted the title of Marquis today, and he was the first to advocate the imperial examination and be appointed as the head of the Imperial Academy. I believe he will definitely leave a mark in the history books in the future." Zhao Wan was quite emotional.

It is not easy to leave your name in the history books.

You must know that whether it is "Spring and Autumn" or "Warring States Policy", historical records follow the principle of "small words and great meaning". Only the monarch and a few scholar-bureaucrats can leave their names. Even a war with tens of thousands of casualties will be simply condensed into one sentence. "Qivaru", as for the soldiers who died in the battle, he didn't care what their names were or whether they had names.

Even though Zhao Wan is the imperial censor, he has only been in this position for three years, and his achievements are far less than those of Chen Luo and Zhang Cang. Therefore, he is not sure whether he can leave a name in history and leave his deeds. In fact, I have no idea.

"Brother Zhao is overly praised." Chen Luo responded with a smile, "Compared to leaving a name in the history books, benefiting the people of the Han Dynasty is something I highly recommend."

Cao Shou, who was standing next to him, smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed, "You two have lofty ambitions. You want to leave your name in history, and you want to bless the people. On the contrary, I think it is enough to have enough food and drink, and live a good life."

"Brother Cao Shi, it's not that you don't have ambitions. If you apply yourself to others, then this is the ambition of all the people in the world. It is the most simple and true ambition." Chen Luo was not stingy with his words of praise.

This is true.

Ambition is built on a full stomach.

No matter how much you pursue it spiritually, there is no way to complete it if you are too hungry to move.

"Really?" Cao Shou scratched his head. He had never thought about his ambition, but he was actually quite stylish?

If my father could have supplemented Boyu's words when he asked me about my ambitions, I probably wouldn't have received a severe whipping with a bamboo stick. However, he thought deeply for a while and found that even if he thought about it seriously, his mind was still confused.

So Cao Shou gave up thinking and asked: "Speaking of which, Boyu has been promoted to the position of lord. It's time to celebrate. Have you decided on a date?"

Being granted the title of Marquis, even in the early Han Dynasty, could be regarded as a happy event worthy of grand celebration. It would not be too much to entertain everyone and drink for three to five days.

It's just that Chen Luo has a job now, and Chang'an City is not suitable for gathering people to drink in a big way. The banquet will definitely not work for three to five days, but a small one-day banquet will definitely be no problem.

When asked suddenly, Chen Luo really didn't think about it.

Looking back carefully, it seems that there was no special celebration when he was granted the title of Marquis.

After all, if you really want to hold a banquet, wouldn't it mean drinking at your own house for three days, then drinking at Han Xin's house for three days, and then going to Xiao He's house after drinking...

Drinking and drinking, there is no need to deal with state affairs, just forget about drinking every day.

In addition to the farewell banquet, Chen Luo remembered that the banquet he took the initiative to host was the wedding banquet between him and Liu Le.

As for holding a banquet after being granted a title, those Chehous who did not stay in Chang'an would go out to show off to the villagers after returning to their fiefdom. If they stayed in Chang'an and did this, I'm afraid they would make people laugh.

Those few Marquis of Ten Thousand Households are still going to court honestly. You are just a Marquis of Thousand Households. Why do you play all the music, music, music and singing?

Do you want to lose your share?

Thinking of this, Chen Luo waved his hand and said slowly: "There is really no need to make big plans. There are so many princes in Chang'an City. I inherited more of the gifts from Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia. My personal achievements are really insignificant. , it’s nothing.”

"Bo Yu is really humble." Zhao Wan rubbed her chin and said thoughtfully, "The reason why Your Majesty only granted you a fief of 300 households is precisely because you already have the land of 2,000 households. Otherwise, you would be used to provide disaster relief. For offering advice, it is not a problem to be granted the title of Thousand Household Marquis."

"Is that so?" Cao Shou sighed.

Chen Luo shook his head, "They are just external possessions. They are not as important as a house that provides shelter from the wind in the eyes of the poor, or bread that satisfies hunger in the eyes of the hungry."

at the same time.

They didn't notice someone passing quietly behind them.

Sima Tan lowered his head silently, thinking.

As Taishi Ling, he must stay until the end before leaving, completely and faithfully recording the beginning and end of each morning dynasty without missing any details.

It can be said that apart from the eunuch responsible for closing the palace door, he spent the longest time in that palace.

He recalled what was recorded in the court today. The inspection system and the grace order may affect the Han Dynasty in the next ten, twenty years or even longer.

How important!

Taking history as a guide, Sima Tan actually saw that the young emperor had the ambition to change, but he didn't know where the final result would lead.

After all, success depends on people.

There have been so many virtuous kings and ministers in history who worked together, but in the end the people died and the government died, and only a few persisted until the end.

But just as he was thinking this, he lowered his head and did not look at the road, and found that he was almost close to the group of people in front of him.

Sima Tan raised his head and immediately found a familiar profile face among the people in front of him.

Weixinhou, Chen Xun and Chen Boyu.

"...There are so many princes in Chang'an City. I inherited more of the gifts from Marquis Wenzhen of Yangxia. My personal achievements are really insignificant and nothing."

"Boyu is so humble..."

"Is that so?"

"They are all external things, but they are not as important as a house that provides shelter from the wind in the eyes of the poor, or as important as bread to satisfy their hunger in the eyes of the hungry..."

The conversation between several people spread to Sima Tan's ears, and he was stunned.

Weixinhou, are you so humble?

This dialogue seems to be a good footnote for the character in the history book I want to write.

However, the people in front gradually walked away, and he was too embarrassed to catch up and follow behind to eavesdrop.

Sima Tan narrowed his eyes, trying to identify who among the people in front of him was.

However, apart from the Marquis of Weixin, he only recognized the Marquis of Pingyang, Cao Shou. As for the man on the right hand side of the Marquis of Weixin, he had been blocked by the Marquis of Weixin just now, and now he only had a vest left, so he really couldn't recognize him. .

Sighing helplessly, Sima Tan chose to give up on identifying people.

After all, as long as the content of the conversation is accurate and the person he is talking to does not show any major deviations, then let that person's words be reflected on Pingyang Marquis.

There should be no problem, right?

----

Xun was granted the title of Marquis, and everyone congratulated him.

Naiqian said: "Because of the influence of my ancestors, what I did was very superficial and not worthy of the truth."

Marquis Pingyang said: "Why did Boyu say this? Why don't you provide disaster relief and rescue the people, and offer advice and inspections? Why can't they be as good as the merits of being a marquis?"

People in the world know this, and they all say that if they are modest and respectful in nature, they will surely succeed in assisting the king. ——"Historical Records: The Restoration Hou Family"
