Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1081 Liu Xie's bare chin

  When Liu Xie arrived in Bingbei, he went to Pingyang first, and there was one more thing, of course it can be considered a big event, that is, to enshrine Shanyin Mountain. The so-called enshrinement of Zen means offering sacrifices to the heaven and the earth. When the sky is auspicious or to express the country's peace and prosperity, a large-scale ceremony will be held to worship the heaven and the earth.

Because of the lack of understanding of ancient people, the theory of round heaven and earth was more popular, and at that time, there were special Confucian scholars who were particularly dedicated to ritual studies, and most of them were in Qi and Lu. Therefore, many Confucian scholars at that time were recognized as Mount Tai. It is the highest mountain among the Five Sacred Mountains, so Mount Tai was highly praised, leading to the fact that from Qin Shihuang to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they all enshrined Zen in Mount Tai.

During the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient times, it is said that there was a Zen ceremony, but no one knows whether it existed, and there are no specific written records. There are only some hearsay things, such as Jiahe will be born during the Zen ceremony, Phoenix will come, and all kinds of auspicious things will happen. The call came to Yunyun, so that the emperor behind, and Fengchan didn't have some auspiciousness, it was embarrassing...

Maybe it was because the emperors in ancient times were more reserved, or maybe it was these so-called auspicious omens. Well, because everyone knows the reasons, it is inconvenient to describe them in detail, so there are no specific norms and procedures passed down to later generations, which led to Qin Shihuang After the unification of China, when he wanted to go to Fengchan Taishan, he prepared a huge staff team of 70 people, but there was no way to negotiate a coordinated result, and the rules and regulations were extremely cumbersome. In a rage, Qin Shihuang simply put these The staff and deliberation team dismissed the whole book, and then they used the etiquette of offering sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven during the Warring States Period.

  It was the same in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Confucian scholars and alchemists held their own opinions and argued endlessly. In the end, Emperor Wu of Han simply used the so-called etiquette of offering sacrifices to Taitian God to enshrine Zen...

Now that Liu Xie is here, although the status of Yinshan Mountain is obviously not as important as Taishan Mountain, but it can't be dealt with like three melons and two dates, and the matter of Fengshan in Yinshan Mountain is actually nothing to Feiqian. Different from adding another layer of glory, in the eyes of some people, naturally it cannot be done so easily.

  In Pingyang, there are probably four types of people.

One is naturally the Bingbei faction headed by Fei Qian, the second is some people around Yang Biao, with Yang Xiu as the spokesperson, and the third is Zhong Shao, whose strength has been greatly reduced and almost marginalized after the Battle of Guanzhong. On one side, the disciples of Guanzhong headed by Zhong Jie, and the personnel on the last side are naturally the royalists on Liu Xie's side who are faintly rising after the Order of Seeking Talents.

I guess so.

  Anyway, Fei Qian looked under the pomegranate skirt that had paid homage to Liu Xie in the past few days. Well, in some lists under the robe, he didn't find any names that could call the wind and rain, not even a single one with a slight impression...

   Maybe it’s because the time is short, and the people who want to come are still on the way?

  However, this does not affect Liu Xie in the past two days. Some young talents who have come to seek refuge have been entrusted as Lang Guan, and there are many servants and doctors. Of course, this is also Liu Xie's own right as Emperor Han, which is understandable, but because other people controlled the court some time ago, Liu Xie couldn't use his right smoothly.

All kinds of Lang officials are divided into four classes: Yi Lang, Zhong Lang, Shi Lang, and Lang Zhong are the so-called servants of the monarch. At the beginning, they were mainly responsible for guarding the door, charging chariots and horses, and were also ready for the emperor at any time. The dispatch of consultants has now gradually evolved into a reserve of various officials, ready to fill up the alternates at any time.

   When there are too many people like this, although they don't occupy any important positions for a while, it still makes the court officials a little uncomfortable. A radish and a hole, and then there is a small radish staring at it. Naturally, the big radish squatting in the hole is unavoidably uncomfortable.

  So under such a chaotic situation, the incident of Fengchan Yinshan became a small battlefield for several parties in the court to wrestle with each other.

  This matter also involves Zhengxi General Fei Qian, who dares to touch the tiger's **** rashly? However, if you can use the power of General Zhengxi to give the other party some eye drops or something, it will be something that all parties involved in the wrestling will love.

Feng Chan can be regarded as a major political event that has inspired people since the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, anyone who has some ideas will almost have to sharpen their heads and drill in. It is good to have a name in the history books. …

  So, early today, a group of people gathered outside the hall of Liu Xiexing Palace, waiting for Liu Xie's arrival, to discuss this matter together.

The first place on the left is given to Fu Wan. After all, Fu Wan is newly promoted to Chi Jinwu and is also a relative of the emperor. He has a natural status and is noble, so there is no problem sitting in the first place, while Fei Qian is sitting on the right. The head is the first, and then Yang Xiuzhongshao and other talents sit on the mat according to their respective official positions.

In the Han Dynasty, the emperor’s discussion of state affairs, unless it was a grand occasion like a meeting of officials, was still more common in the current mode, and the distance and gap between the monarch and his ministers would not be very far. It's different, there's just an extra table in front of him.

  The matter of Feng Chan Yinshan is naturally dominated by Fei Qian, after all, it is his own home field, so naturally he is the first to speak:

"My Majesty, all the emperors in ancient times had Feng Zen. Shun accepted the Xuanji Yuheng, and used the Qizheng to make sacrifices to the gods, to the six sects, to see the good fortune from the gods of mountains and rivers, and to return to the shepherds of the five mountains. That's it. Yu also complied with it, and later Tang, Xia and Zhou did the same. At the beginning, he suppressed the only ones and found peace, and later neglected them and caused chaos in the universe..."

"...During the rise of the Han Dynasty, there was also auspiciousness. Taizu's humbleness, he tried to kill a big snake. There was something who said: 'The snake is the son of the White Emperor, and the one who kills it is the son of the Red Emperor.' So he went to Bashang, and the princes pinged Xianyang, Established as the King of Han, and finally established the Han Dynasty..."

  "...Wendi is worshiped in the suburbs, and the power of fire is lifted up to the shrine. The brilliance belongs to heaven. I also saw the five emperors in Daobei at Nagato, which means the world is auspicious. There is also the rule of Wenjing in the back..."

"...Emperor Wu's meritorious deeds have shocked the past. He expelled the Xiongnu in the north, expelled the barbarians in the south, expanded the territory in the west, and established Huhuan in the east. The land of Yinshan Mountain also belongs to the Han Dynasty. Don't dare to look directly..."

"...Afterwards, Xianbei rose up in Mobei, invaded and harassed in the south, and Yinshan was also reduced to taint. Fortunately, His Majesty's great blessing, and the soldiers were employed, and with the hands of false ministers, a corner of Yinshan was recovered, and it was returned to the Han Dynasty. This is His Majesty's family. The omen is also the beginning of pacification of the four directions, so we should perform the ceremony of enshrining Zen and make it clear to the world to celebrate it!"

Of course, is the recovery of Yinshan a so-called auspicious omen? The people present basically know it well, even Liu Xie actually understands it a little bit, but everyone present will not be so stupid as to jump out and say This matter is not as serious as Liu Xie's, so when Fei Qian finished speaking, he congratulated Liu Xie almost in unison.

   At the same time, the eyes of everyone present looking at Fei Qian are also extremely complicated, but now, since Fei Qian has already brought out such a large plate of dishes, it is now a matter of more or less picking them up on his own plate.

Enshrining the Yinshan Mountain does not mean that the emperor Liu Xie climbed up the Yinshan Mountain alone and muttered a few words. It still needs a lot of preparatory work and various etiquette utensils, so as to reflect the royal demeanor and show the international style of the great man. Wait, so, there are many things one by one...

Liu Xie looked around and saw that everyone agreed with the matter of enshrining Zen in Yinshan Mountain, so he couldn't help showing a relaxed smile, nodded and said: "What Fei Aiqing said really wins my heart. Yinshan Mountain is a vassal of the Han Dynasty. , Returning to the Han land, it should be celebrated, and now the world is restless, it is even more necessary to deter Xiaoxiao and calm the hearts of the people."

  Everyone also said together that what Liu Xie said was very reasonable, far-sighted, strategic, and superior...

  Actually, most people, including those who have somewhat of an alliance with Fei Qian, think that even if Yinshan is regained, there may not be any special benefits. The Bingbei area has been messed up by the barbarians before, with few people and no property, and they face fierce barbarians every day. As early as the Han Lingdi period, most of the officials in the Bingbei area were It became the official position of Zhisheyao, and even as long as someone is willing to go, he will be hired exceptionally, just like the situation when Fei Qian said he would go to Bingbei, as long as he is willing to go, he will be sent wherever he wants to go. The official rank is not enough, even if it is like Fei Qian's false behavior at that time, it will be enough.

   Even so, few people are willing to go to Bingbei to become an official. This way of thinking has been going on for decades, how can it be relieved immediately because of a change in Pingyang?

  Furthermore, Fei’s latent in Pingyang is more or less stable, but if something happens to leave Pingyang, it will not win the Qianghu, Xiongnu, and Xianbei in the north. Whether he can continue to keep his own place is still unknown.

   Therefore, most people think that it is the most important thing to fulfill Liu Xie's wish as soon as possible, and then to enshrine Zen early and return to the capital...

Liu Xie sat at the top, still immersed in the auspicious heavenly family described by Fei Qian, with an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth, but he really wanted to seriously express that he didn't really care about this, but cared more about it. It is the people of the Han Dynasty who are suffering, so he continued: "In the land to the north, the people are mostly poor, and life is not easy, so there is no need to meet them along the way..."

   "Your Majesty is wise."

   "Your Majesty is worried about the people, and it is the Holy Lord's reason."

   "..."

That's what I said, but in fact, there is no place to do the tricks of burning incense and paving the soil along the way, and kneeling to greet them. From Pingyang to Yinshan, there are only a few counties on the way. Most of them are in the wilderness and uninhabited mountains, where do the people along the way come from.

   "...cough cough..." Yang Xiu sat on the side, raised his sleeves, and coughed slightly, intentionally or unintentionally.

Fu De glanced at Yang Xiu slightly, pondered for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty enshrining Zen is also a blessing for the world. How can it reduce the cramps? Although His Majesty is sympathetic to his subjects, they also have the heart to repay His Majesty's grace. How can Your Majesty bear it?" refuse?"

   "This..." Liu Xie hesitated after hearing this.

  How can young people not like the flowers and the brocade, and who doesn’t like the bustle and bustle? It is said that they want to be simple and frugal, but who really likes to go all the way to the Yinshan Mountains with coarse noodles, solid pancakes and cold water?

But the problem is how many family backgrounds the court has now, as Liu Xie, how can he not know, not to mention that he ran out of Guanzhong this time. Although some court officials have come one after another, these officials also did not bring any For any money, the expenses for this period of time are provided by Zhengxi General Fei Qian alone, and now it is going to be more prosperous and complicated, doesn't it mean that more money will be spent?

However, in Fude's mind, what he thinks is that Fei Qian is the most favored at the moment. Isn't Fei Qian taking the glory of Feng Chan Yinshan? Even if you are wronged, you can't be wronged, Your Majesty, right?

   "This... How much money is left in the treasury and the Shaofu?" Liu Xie thought for a while, and then asked knowingly.

   Liu Xie asked this question, everyone lowered their heads, and no one answered for a while, the scene was inevitably a little awkward.

   It is pitiful to say that Liu Xie is an emperor, not to mention the national treasury. Even the Shaofu, which should have been under the management of the royal family, is not under the control of Liu Xie at all. Therefore, there is probably nothing wrong with saying that Liu Xie is a poor ghost.

However, since Liu Xie asked a question, there must be an answer, so Fu Wan, as a relative of the state, naturally wants to stand up for Liu Xie, so he turned his body halfway, looked at Zhong Jie, and said: "Doctor Zhong, Guanzhong Jingdu Fantai Kufu , are under the control of your father, why not report the truth to His Majesty?"

  Zhong Jie cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, back to Duke Fu, the original Guanzhong treasury was indeed managed by my father, but..."

   Zhong Jie glanced at Yang Xiu sideways, and then said: "However... the Marquis of Jin led the army to make chaos and surrounded the two palaces, and the treasury will lose its management. I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, Yang Xiu could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Dr. Zhong's words are wrong! In the past, Minister Zhong used the emperor's order to bully the officials and poison the people. Ordinarily, my father couldn't bear it anymore, in order to save His Majesty from the fire and water, and save China's generals from falling, he used military advice, but he didn't know how to hold His Majesty hostage..."

   Liu Xie frowned.

Anyway, these two people didn't confront each other along the way, and it wasn't just once or twice that they pointed at each other, but this kind of talk, let's not talk about other aspects, there is one thing that the two sides agreed very clearly, that is, there is no such thing as Chong Shao here. As for money, Yang Xiu also had no money. As for whether there was money or no money in the original treasury, no one could figure out the bad debt.

  The current finances of the big man are almost in a state of exhaustion.

The rich and prosperous Jizhou and Yuzhou were all occupied by the Yuan family, and Hongnongguan has just experienced a catastrophe. It is hard to say how much output there will be. The rest of the places, although they have not yet expressed their independence from the rule of the Han, are actually originally The finances that should be escorted to the imperial court were also detained locally...

   It can be said that today’s Dahan treasury is just like Liu Xie’s chin, smooth and delicate, without even a hair...
