I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 127 Half a Year

Before leaving, Liu Bian suddenly thought that the matter of Empress Dowager Dong had not been resolved yet, and said with a grimace: "Father, my grandmother told me that if the general records the affairs of the minister, the hussar general must do the same. Now in this situation, Grandma must think that I deliberately disobeyed her, why don't you send someone to talk to grandma first?"

Emperor Ling smiled and scolded: "Shuzi, as a father, you have to recuperate! How should you explain to your grandmother that it's your business? Later... no, you go to your grandmother's place right away."

At this point, Emperor Ling took into account Empress Dowager Dong's temper and ordered Zhang Rang to accompany Liu Bian.

Empress Dowager Dong learned from Liu Bian that the emperor was going to appoint He Jinlu to serve as minister, and she was furious.

However, she learned from Zhang Rang that this was the emperor's idea. Not only did Liu Bian not recommend He Jin, but He Jin also declined. This made it difficult to vent his anger on Liu Bian.

Empress Dowager Dong was acting like her grandmother, but she was so angry that she turned around and scolded Dong Zhong in front of Liu Bian: "Why can't my son always miss you? Piao back then. Cavalry generals, ordinary ministers and secretaries are all brought by me for you, but are there any of them that you can get by your own ability?..."

Dong Zhong was extremely embarrassed by what he said, but he didn't dare to refute.

Especially in front of Liu Bian and Liu Xie.

This scene was similar to a public execution. Liu Bian twitched the corner of his mouth and finally suppressed his smile.

Then Liu Biancai advised: "Grandma, it is the practice of the country to use generals and Taiwei to record ministerial affairs. No wonder...Uncle, the Han family has no precedent of using hussar generals to record ministerial affairs. My father did not consider it. General Hussars, that’s not surprising either.”

By this time, Empress Dowager Dong's anger was almost gone, and Liu Bian resigned in due course.

However, not long after he left the Jiade Hall of Yongle Palace, Dong Chong chased after him and thanked Liu Bian.

Liu Bian was a little surprised.

……

With the release of the edict of the general and the Taiwei, the ministers recorded matters. If there were a hot search ranking, the emperor's physical condition would definitely be at the top.

But Liu Bian knew very well that whether it was from the answers he got from Hua Tuo's inquiry or from his contact with Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling didn't seem to be incapable of contact with government affairs.

A thought suddenly arose in his mind, wouldn't the Ling Emperor want to take the opportunity to fish?

Even if Emperor Ling is fishing, it won't do him any harm.

the other side.

Block printing spread much faster than the plow.

Under the overt and covert promotion of Lu Zhi and others, within a few days, the officials in Luoyang knew that the prince had given three "printed" copies of the Analects to his three teachers.

If it were normal times, if a Prince student gave the teacher "The Analects of Confucius", it would probably be interpreted as the teacher being unqualified, but this is not the case with the current "The Analects of Confucius". Just think about it and you will know that this is something that will definitely be recorded in the history books!

There were many envious people, and Sikong Fanling was one of them. Thinking of his relationship with the prince, he also wanted a copy for his collection.

At present, Liu Bian has not sent out many of the first batch of written books. Except for his three teachers, regardless of whether Emperor Ling needs it or not, the first one must be given away first.

Although Liang Hu gradually lost his presence, he could not be compared with Lu Cai and Zheng. Liu Bian sent him to inspect Qingzhou last year, but he did not achieve much. But he also taught Liu Bian after all. The enlightenment teacher was also a teacher, so he had to give him a copy.

When Fan Ling found Liu Bian, he saw that he was sincere in his words, so Liu Bian had no choice but to give Fan Ling the copy he had planned to keep for his own collection.

Fan Ling was very happy, how happy he was. When Liu Bian saw that he was clearly walking smoothly, he felt like running quickly.

After returning, he spread the news to the outside world that the prince had reluctantly given up his love.

For a time, it seemed like an honor to get the first printed copies.

Someone even approached Liang Hu and wanted to buy the "Analects of Confucius" from Liang Hu for a hundred gold, but was flatly rejected.

This move also made Liang Hu famous.

Not long after, General He Jin, who had just released the Book of Records, asked Liu Bian if he still had "The Analects of Confucius". Although Taiwei Ma Rixi didn't feel embarrassed to ask, he also pricked up his ears.

Liu Bian also regretted a little. If he had known earlier, he would have mixed the first batch with the second batch and regarded them as the first batch.

However, he also understood that the so-called hundreds of gold came more from the political value of this book. If he really wanted to sell it, he would not be able to sell it for a hundred gold.

But to really get a high price, it has to be Luoyang’s already expensive paper.

……

After the turmoil of engraving and printing, the court gradually returned to calm. He Jin's record of being a minister had an impact on Liu Bian, but after all, Emperor Ling was still there, and He Jin did not dare to rashly yell at the eunuchs, so the impact was limited.

The promotion of Quyuanli is also proceeding step by step. Taixue students who have obtained official positions in the countryside also set out one after another with the task of promoting Quyuanli.

Prize solicitations for new technologies were also distributed to counties, including cheaper methods of making paper.

As for whether it would be useful, Liu Bian was not sure.

Wheat was harvested in May. During this period, the weather was quite suitable. There was no spring drought that winter wheat was most afraid of. The harvest was pretty good.

During this period, Huangfu Song sent an official document stating that all the Qiang and a few Huns tribes with more than a hundred people under the rule of Jingzhaoyin and Youfufeng had willingly joined the farming, but only those from Jingzhaoyin and Youfufeng were With grain reserves, it will be difficult to feed these people until next summer's harvest.

Liu Bian naturally chose to support without hesitation.

As for Zuo Fengyi, who is closer to Bingzhou, Huangfusong said that less than half of the Hu tribes among them have chosen to join the farming, and the rest will have to wait until next year.

Luoyang has been experiencing continuous rain since June. Fortunately, it avoided the wheat harvest time, otherwise it would have been another disaster relief.

And although the rain has not stopped, there is no large-scale continuous heavy rain, and there is no risk of floods.

During this period, Emperor Ling was recovering from his illness as usual, and Liu Bian went to Yutang Hall to make a fuss. Then I learned that Emperor Ling had gone to Yeting, where the emperor's concubines lived.

In this regard, Liu Bian was not easy to persuade.

And then…July…August…September.

It is rainy weather throughout Henan most of the time.

Liu Bian suddenly remembered that it was already time for Luoyang Palace to change.

On this day, the weather was sunny for the first time in a long time.

Liu Bian was in a good mood and was standing outside Yuntai Hall looking at the sky.

Suddenly, Gaowang from Xiaohuangmen came to report that the emperor had fainted.

Liu Bian immediately set off to go to the emperor, and Guo Sheng and Guo Zhi, who were waiting on the side, followed him.

Liu Bian asked Gao Wang: "Didn't my father's condition improve before? Why did he suddenly faint?"

Gao Wang replied in a panic: "The weather is good today, and your Majesty is in a much better mood. Later, your Majesty..."

"Father went to Yeting again?" Liu Bian asked.
