Soldiers come to the world

Liu Jing stared at his son sharply, as if he wanted to see through his mind. Could it be that his master Meng Guang used the child's mouth to persuade him?Liu Jing was suddenly a little unhappy. (Update is the fastest and most stable)

Liu Zhi had two masters before and after. The former master, Lai Min, was very knowledgeable, but he was dissolute and unrestrained. Meng Guang is Liu Zhi's second master.

Naturally, Meng Guang is knowledgeable and upright, but he also has a weakness, that is, he is extremely stubborn, and often fights with Lai Min for a little knowledge, and he is more rigid in many things, lacking in human understanding and sophistication. Liu Jing is not good to him either. very satisfied.

However, Meng Guang strictly controlled Liu Zhi's morality, even surpassing the teaching knowledge. He often warned him to be indifferent to power, to be sympathetic to the people, and not to compete with the people for profit. Hegemony ruled the country. In his son's generation, the economy is developing and the people need stability.

Therefore, although Liu Jing was a little dissatisfied with Meng Guang's scholarly spirit, Liu Jing still reluctantly accepted him as his son's teacher for the sake of this point. However, if Meng Guang wanted to influence himself through his son, Liu Jing would It must not be tolerated.

Liu Zhi hurriedly explained: "This has nothing to do with the master, because last month, the master taught me the meaning of trespassing, and mentioned the transgression of the palace. Being guilty of trespassing will make everyone in the world look down upon me. I just thought that we seem to be moving into Weiyang. Palace, it is the emperor's place, we cannot live there, so I want to persuade my father not to live in Weiyang Palace."

Liu Jing nodded, it seems that he was not taught by his master, although his son's thoughts are still a little naive, but thinking that he is only nine years old, and he can say these words, Liu Jing is gratified enough.

Liu Jing smiled and said: "We won't live in Weiyang Palace for the time being, but it's not the reason you said, but I don't want to be too extravagant, we will live in Dajia Palace, which is the residence of Emperor Guangwu. In your words, it is also It's a bit presumptuous."

"But why does father have to act arrogantly, so that others can catch him and give him the excuse?" Liu Zhi asked anxiously.

Liu Jing didn't answer him, but pointed to the snow scene outside the window and said with a smile, "Let's go for a walk outside the city together!"

"The child is willing to go out with his father!"

Liu Jing immediately ordered the guards to prepare two camels. Although Liu Zhi knew how to ride a horse, he had never ridden a camel before. When Liu Jing carried him to sit on the high hump, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

At this time, Tao Zhan also rushed to the gate after hearing the news. Seeing her son riding on such a tall camel, she was very worried and asked, "Husband, are you riding the same camel with Zhi'er!"

"No!"

Liu Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "He rides one end himself, and I ride the other."

Tao Zhan's face turned pale with fright, "It's too dangerous, husband, you'd better stay with him! He's still young after all."

Liu Jing turned to her son and said, "Zhier, you decide for yourself!"

Liu Zhi bit his lip and said loudly to his mother, "Mom, I can ride it, no problem!"

"But....."

Liu Jing stepped forward and smiled at his wife, "He is your son, but he is also my son, so don't worry!"

It made sense for Tao Zhan to think about it. The husband loves the eldest son just as much. How could he let his son take risks? He must be sure. Tao Zhan nodded, "Okay! You should be careful and come back early."

Liu Jing yelled, and the camel knelt down. He also turned on the camel and smiled at Tao Zhan from a distance: "Princess, if you want to ride, I might as well arrange another one."

"Go! Take good care of Zhi'er." Tao Zhan waved his hand and looked at his son worriedly.

Under the guard of hundreds of cavalry, the two camels set off slowly and headed out of the northern city. Tao Zhan watched his son's camel go far away, and he was a little relieved when he saw that he was riding fairly steadily.

Although Liu Zhi was very nervous, he soon discovered that riding a camel was easier than riding a horse, and it was very stable. As long as he kept his balance, he would basically not fall off. Moreover, there was a camel driver in front of him holding the reins for him.

After the team walked out of the north gate, Liu Zhi gradually got used to riding a camel.He looked back at his father, Liu Jing smiled and said, "Is there no need for the hunchback?"

Liu Zhi nodded. Liu Jing then ordered the camel driver to give Liu Zhi the reins and let him ride alone. Liu Jing knew that as long as the camel walked slowly, his son would be fine. The camel is difficult to ride because it is running.

After getting used to riding a camel, Liu Zhi turned his attention to the snow scene. He saw that the entire Guanzhong Plain was covered with heavy snow, and Yushu Qiongzhi looked like a world of snow. In addition, he rode so high that it was even more impressive. Feeling relaxed and happy, I couldn't help but praise: "Excellent!"

Liu Jing pointed his whip at the sky, "Look at the sky!"

Liu Zhi raised his head and saw the sky without a trace of white clouds. It was as blue as a boundless jewel, and a goshawk was circling above his head. Liu Zhi stared at the eagle, watching it spread its wings in the sky enviously. soar.

Liu Jing smiled slightly, and blew the eagle flute. The goshawk circled a few times, getting lower and lower, suddenly folded its wings, and fell like an arrow, and finally landed lightly on Liu Jing's shoulder. Liu Jing took out a piece of fresh meat and fed it. It stroked its feathers lightly.

Liu Zhi was greatly surprised, and quickly asked: "Father, is it Xinying?"

"No! It's a falcon. It's my eagle."

The eagle raised its head proudly, and cooed twice, as if protesting against Liu Zhi regarding it as a trust eagle. Liu Zhi liked it very much. He stretched out his hand to touch the eagle, but retracted his hand, not daring to touch it. touch it.

Liu Jing took out a piece of fresh meat and handed it to him, "Feed it with meat!"

Liu Zhi took the meat carefully, and then slowly stretched out his hand. Falcon was already impatient, and took the meat away from his hand in one gulp. Liu Zhi laughed, a little bolder, and fed two more pieces of meat, Liu Jing Laughing: "You can touch it now!"

Liu Zhi finally stretched out his hand to gently stroke the eagle's back. The eagle raised its head, its sharp eyes looked down on Liu Zhi, but it didn't peck him.

"Father, can you let it stand on my shoulder?" Liu Zhi begged softly.

Liu Jing smiled, stroked the falcon, whispered something to it, and slowly put the falcon on Liu Zhi's immature shoulders, Liu Zhi was overjoyed, finally there was an eagle standing on his shoulder.

But only for a moment, the eagle suddenly spread its wings and flew straight to the sky. At this moment, the eagle's wings spread before Liu Zhi's eyes, and he felt as if he was flying with the eagle. shouted loudly, "Fly! Fly to the nine heavens!"

Liu Jing and the soldiers all laughed. Liu Jing hugged his son and asked him to ride with him. He pinched his legs and shouted loudly. The camel started to gallop on the snow with its long legs.Hundreds of cavalry followed closely behind.

Liu Zhi could only feel the wind whistling in his ears, he was like an eagle flying over the boundless snow field, this stimulation made him extremely excited, and he shouted loudly.

Liu Jing ran straight to the majestic Weiyang Palace, pointed at the palace with a whip, "Does my son dare to live in this palace?"

At this time, Liu Zhi was open-minded and ambitious. He had long since put aside any presumptuous remarks, and nodded heavily, "Why don't you dare?"

Liu Jing laughed, "Now don't you mind overstepping?"

Only then did Liu Zhi suddenly realize that his father used another method to enlighten him. At this moment, he remembered that he had been cautious just now, lest he would overstep the palace and be discussed by the world, but now, he felt that such a trivial matter was really not worth mentioning. , he also said loudly: "Father, my child understands, a man should care about the world, even if he lives in Weiyang Palace, so what?"

"Well said! This is my Liu Jing's son."

Liu Jing was extremely pleased, and said to his son: "Starting tomorrow, you go to Pingzhangtai every morning to participate in state affairs with the ministers, and let them become your masters."

..........

Early the next morning, Liu Jing brought his son to Weiyang Palace. Weiyang Palace is not just a residence, but actually a complete group of buildings including the court hall. It is a third of its heyday, but the whole palace is still magnificent. It is built on the highest point of Chang'an, and you can have a panoramic view of Chang'an city from the Gan terrace.

Weiyang Palace is divided into two parts, the south part is the court room hall, which is the court area for handling government affairs, and the north half is the emperor's harem. Although Liu Jing does not plan to live in Weiyang Palace for the time being, the front court area has been activated .

Pingzhang Terrace is located on the left side of Xuanshi Hall. It is a group of small buildings covering an area of ​​nearly [-] mu. In the middle is the Qunying Pavilion covering an area of ​​[-] mu. Temporarily became the government affairs center of the Han Dynasty.

The carriage stopped in front of Suzaku's gate, Liu Jing and his son changed to walking chariots and headed all the way to Pingzhang Terrace, seeing his son's nervous expression, Liu Jing smiled and said, "I believe you will be very popular with the ministers. "

Liu Zhi couldn't help but sighed lowly. He was actually worried that the master would be unhappy. Liu Jing understood the child's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Your master, Yin Shizhong has already gone to discuss it, and he won't blame you."

The walking chariot stopped in front of Qunying Pavilion. At this moment, a person walked out of the pavilion and looked at Liu Zhi with a smile. Liu Zhi was shocked. This person turned out to be his former master. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Disciple pays homage to master!"

Liu Zhi's former master was called Lai Min, a native of Xinye. His father, Lai Yan, used to be Sikong of the Han Dynasty. He came to Bashu very early.

Although he was hated by Tao Zhan when he was drunk and slept with prostitutes, it was just a small matter and would not affect his career. He is currently the lieutenant of the school of classics, in charge of books and classics, and revised various scriptures. He heard that the son is coming, so he came here specially one sight.

Lai Min quickly helped Liu Zhi up, and said with a smile, "Now I am no longer your master."

Liu Zhi had a deep affection for Lai Sen. He said with tears in his eyes, "I am a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of my life. How can my apprentice forget it?"

"Your Majesty said it well!"

A group of people came out of Qunying Pavilion, namely Xu Shu, Jiang Wan, Dong He, Fei Guan, Sima Yi, five ministers, and Yin Mo, the servant.

Everyone bowed together and saluted, "See Your Highness the King of Han!"

. . . . . .

In the servant's room on the third floor of Qunying Pavilion, the servant Yinmo poured Liu Zhi a bowl of hot tea with a smile. He also served as the young master and was Liu Zhi's nominal master. Liu Jing asked his son to come to Pingzhangtai to study and handle government affairs , naturally Yin Mo was the first to teach him.

For Liu Jing's arrangement, everyone in Pingzhangtai agreed very much. Everyone knew that Liu Zhi would be the second monarch of the dynasty. He would be a key figure linking the past and the future, and he would determine the direction of the dynasty for the next hundred years. Train him carefully. , is the obligatory responsibility of the ministers.

From a selfish point of view, they also hope that Liu Zhi can maintain their governance ideas, just like Xiao Gui and Cao Sui in the former Han Dynasty, so that their governance ideas can be inherited by the prime ministers of later generations.

It is also this kind of idea of ​​balancing public and private interests that makes Pingzhangtai actively welcome Liu Zhi's arrival. According to the consensus reached by everyone, Liu Zhi will follow one person every ten days for a period of one year.

Liu Zhi opened a roll of bamboo slips, and asked curiously: "What is the role of the attendant in Pingzhangtai?"

Yin Mo smiled slightly, "The servant is actually supervising the decision-making of the prime minister, to prevent the prime minister from abusing his power. When a ultimatum is presented, it will first go to the minister. Of course, it is not handled by me personally, but by the minister below me. The minister can't do it." I will deal with it when it is the decision." "What is it to deal with?"

"It is to classify the ultimatum into three categories according to the degree of importance, A, B, and C. Category A must be approved by your father before it can be executed. Category B is a slightly more important official business. It is decided by the five ministers. It can be approved first and then reported. Submit it to your father for approval. Category C is general public affairs. It can be executed after the approval of the writing minister. There is no need to discuss with the five parties, but..."

Yin Mo paused for a while, seeing that Liu Zhi was concentrating on listening, he couldn't help stroking the back of his head lovingly, and continued to smile: "But even if the Prime Ministers pass the decision, they can't implement it right away, they still have to come to me again , the servant will review it again, if the servant feels that the decision is inappropriate, it will be sealed back, and the relatives will discuss it again."

"What if Xiangguo and Shizhong disagree in the end?" Liu Zhi asked again.

"At this point, your father needs to make the final decision. He must implement it after he signs it. If the matter has come to this point, if Xiangguo or the servant still cannot accept it, then he will either resign or remain silent."

Yin Mo sighed a long time, and said with some emotion: "This is the best balance system between monarch and prime minister. It can prevent one prime minister from being dominant, and can also avoid the dictatorship of the king. Being weakened, Emperor Guangwu even canceled the prime minister until Cao Cao restored the prime minister, but his purpose was only to usurp power for himself, and your father proposed a multi-phase system, which avoids the dominance of one phase and also protects the power of the monarch Balance creates the conditions, from this point of view, this is your father's greatest contribution, benefiting the future, it can be said that it is second only to him in unifying the world."

"I understand!" Liu Zhi nodded slightly.

At this time, an employee reported at the door: "Servant, the discussion will begin soon."

Yin Mo got up and smiled at Liu Zhi: "Let's go! Today is your father's first meeting at Zhangtai since he came back. Let's go to participate together."

Yin Mo took Liu Zhi's hand and left the room, went downstairs all the way to the meeting hall on the second floor.

This is a circular meeting hall, and half of the circle is composed of five ministers, ministers, counselors, Dianshu captains, Yushi Zhongcheng, five Yilangs, and more than [-] assistants. The officials sat on the other half of the circle, and the seat of the waiter Yin Mo was on the side of the five ministers. He could attend Pingzhangtai's discussions and also had the right to express his own opinions.

And Liu Jing's seat is at the top, it is a permanent seat, no matter whether Liu Jing participates in the discussion, the seat will always be placed there, but most of the time, Liu Jing does not participate in the Pingzhangtai discussion, but today he has just sit down.

According to the regulations formulated by Liu Jing himself, the Pingzhangtai deliberations are divided into two types: regular and special. The regular deliberations are basically held every day. The king can participate in the audit, but cannot speak to interfere.

The special discussion is initiated by the king. The king can lead the discussion, or the minister appointed by him can lead the discussion. Today is a special meeting, and Liu Jing proposed to hold it.

Liu Zhi was sitting beside Yin Mo, he secretly looked up at his father, his father was about thirty steps away from him, the seat was high up, the light was dim, and his face could not be seen, Liu Zhi suddenly felt a sense of oppression in his heart, his father was like this Looking down at all the officials from a dark high place, I believe that everyone feels the same as him, with an inexplicable pressure.

Liu Jing saw his son, smiled, and shook the silver bell beside him, 'Dang lang lang! The bell rang crisply, and at this moment Jiang Wan got up and smiled, "Since everyone is here, let's start!"

Liu Zhi looked at the volume in the book and felt a little strange, so he asked Yin Mo in a low voice, "Excuse me, servant, isn't it Uncle Xu who is writing the book now?"

Yin Mo smiled, "Today is a special discussion, led by the minister appointed by your father. It seems that your father appointed Jiang Shangshu, so today's discussion should be related to finance."

Liu Zhi nodded, and looked at the hall again. Jiang Wan was in charge of finance and taxation. He wrote to Liu Jing a few days ago, requesting the cancellation of minting money. Yesterday Liu Jing formally replied to him, and at the same time requested to hold a special meeting on this matter today.

Jiang Wan said slowly: "Today's discussion is about canceling the minting of money. I discussed this with all the ministers a while ago. As we all know, after the coin was minted and issued, it did not flow into the market and did not play the role of big money. Instead, it was Collecting makes a large amount of copper coins circulate and forces the price to rise, so I propose to suspend the minting and issuing of coins, but His Royal Highness the King of Han holds a compromise opinion, you can suspend the issuing, but ask to continue to mint, and the minted coins are used to reward military exploits.. …”

At this time, an employee walked quickly to Liu Zhi's side and whispered to him: "Young Master, your father asked you to go over."

Liu Zhi looked at Yin Mo, Yin Mo smiled and said, "Go!"

Liu Zhi followed Yin Mo and walked quickly to his father's seat, and when he walked to Liu Jing's side, Liu Zhi lowered his hands and said, "Father!"

"Sit down!" Liu Jing smiled and pulled his son to sit down. In fact, he had nothing to do, he just wanted his son to feel the King of Han's seat.

Liu Zhi sat down beside his father and looked down at the many officials below. For some reason, he didn't like this condescending feeling in his heart.
