113 Seven Nations League

"I am ashamed of not being able to take it." Ju Su joined the ranks again, ranking at the right of Tian Feng. As mentioned earlier, when the court discussed, military generals were on the right, civil officials were on the left. The left of the right is the lower. The right of the left is also the lower.

"Wait for a seat to be filled" and became a new classic. It has the same effect as "Hanging a bed and leaving a guest". Speaking of which, Chen Fan was appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang, and did not like to keep guests, except for the famous scholar Xu Zhi. The museum specially set up a bed for Xu Zhi. When Xu Zhi came, he put it down and hung it up after leaving. At that time, he was called "Chen Fan's bed".

The character of people at that time is so good that you need to say too much.

Guo Tai was studying in Luoyang and met Li Ying, who was then the Yin of Henan. When they first met, Li Ying praised him and became a confidant. The two became friends and became famous in the capital. Later, Guo Tai returned home and rushed to see off the literati and officials, and thousands of carriages were silted by the river. However, Guo Tai only crossed the river with Li Ying. The guests looked at the backs of the two, like gods. Later, "Li Guo in the same boat" was used to describe the relationship between confidants, regardless of the high or low, and were intimate.

Here, it is comparable to Liu Bei and Guan Yu's first meeting, and then they became Jinlan. They were in a similar mood and bowed to each other. How could there be nobility and humbleness?

Ju Su ascended the Golden Palace and had already been circulated by Ji Kingdom. It was his first time to attend court, so how could he not be paid attention to it?

Liu Bei set up a palace carriage and sent those who climbed the Golden Palace to quickly arrive. This was to learn from the lessons of Yan Liang and Zhou Tai's mutual deaths. Let the assessment be conducted in person. It was not that after climbing the Golden Palace, there was no need to take the exam. Four days ago, the two prime ministers, the left prime minister of the shogunate, the military officer, and the township magistrate, had joined hands to take the assessment.

The evaluation given is: "Any two thousand stones are OK."

Otherwise, the civil and military officials in the court would not convince them.

After Ju Su sat down, Liu Bei looked around the ministers and spoke: "There will be a report."

Right Prime Minister Geng Yong stood up and replied, "A prime minister of Ganling, Liu Yu, wrote a letter to the king on behalf of the king, mentioning the matter of the 'renting' of the Ji state of Ganling. Ask the king how to distribute the taxes paid by the Ganling people."

Liu Bei nodded gently: "The Lords of the Six Kingdoms were unable to return to their country to eat due to the Yellow Turban riot. They stayed in the hall, had no source of food and clothing, and their lives were difficult. The Prime Minister of Ganling wrote a letter on behalf of the Lord. I wonder what you think?"

Then Lou Sang Ling Le Yin stood up and replied, "Report to the king. There are five taxes: rent, tuition, tuition, household tax and offering fee. I think that tuition, tuition, household tax and offering fee can be assigned to the six kings of the kings of the country. The person who pays tuition, tuition, household tax, and tuition fee can also be collected on his behalf."

Seeing the ministers nodding, Liu Bei said, "What do the two prime ministers think?"

"Mr. Le said this is great good." Le Jun said: "The people of the six countries are in trouble, so they come to invest thousands of miles away. Rent fertile land in our country to support themselves, and rent taxes should be collected by our country. However, the people of the six countries are all people under the rule of the kings of the six countries. The taxes, vocations, and household taxes will be obtained by the kings of each country. The kings of the six countries fled alone, and most of the officials are not around. As for the contribution fee of 63 cents per year, they will be collected by our country and presented to Your Majesty. It is appropriate."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "The donation fee can be deducted from the rent and there is no need to pay separately."

"Here." This move is exactly the same as the people of Ji State. The ministers were not surprised.

After this incident, Cui Jun, the prime minister of the Left Kingdom, stood up and reported: "The general Tian Yan of the captured army set out on Yuyang, and wanted to cross the Bohai Sea. He used the Ji State waterway to seize Gaoyang, Nanpi, Xinyang, Pingyuan and other cities, and cut off the Qingji Yellow Turban connection. He sent an envoy to report a few days ago, asking our country to open up the waterway and send ships to respond."

Liu Bei then looked at the General of the Henghai Zhonglang: "Public rebuttal, what do you think?"

"Report to the lord, that's right." Huang Gai stood up and replied.

"In this way, the left prime minister will return to capture the general, and our navy will send a fleet to the sea, and wait for the rebellion at Yuyang Port to quell the rebellion." Liu Bei said this.

"Here."

The rest are ordinary government affairs, without any further comments. The two prime ministers have drafted a report. Just Liu Bei agrees.

Although there are only six counties, it is also the politics of a country. Big things and small things are so complicated. Even if it is reported every report, it is almost noon. Liu Bei ordered people to hold a banquet. The palace maids brought food and placed them in turn. Then they brought the food box and took out the "food utensils" such as trays, zhī, ear cups, etc., and arranged neatly with a pair of bamboo chopsticks. At today's Han banquet, there are generally two ways to place food utensils: food case and case in charge. The biggest difference is that there are enough food cases, which is similar to the case in later generations. "Holding the case to the eye", the case is to bear the case. Is it a bit like a case?... It's not elegant at all.

Among them, the lacquer food plate has a wide edge, an open mouth, a shallow curved belly, and a flat bottom. The whole body is painted with black lacquer, and there are words written inside and outside the plate. The inside of the plate is "Jun Xing Food", and the outer bottom of the plate is "Ji Sheng, "Ji Wangjia" and other words.

The food utensils in the Ji Royal Palace not only include exquisite "racquet cat pattern lacquer plate", but also "cloud pattern lacquer table", "painted lacquer box", "cloud pattern lacquer tripod", "cloud pattern lacquer cube (sì)", etc., which are all exquisite and beautiful. The exquisite lacquer food utensils written by the palace maids to serve soup, meat and vegetables, or to buy food and pastries, each with its division of labor, which is pleasing to the eye.

The lacquer food utensils in the Ji Royal Palace were all from the good craftsmen of Ji Kingdom. They were exquisitely made, exquisitely crafted, both in size and in exquisite decoration. They were used to serve fine wine and food, and naturally complement each other. Unless the state banquet, there are few heavy bronze utensils now. The reason is not complicated. If the food utensils were replaced with bronze castings, such as bronze boxes, bronze tripods, bronze shawls... How can a weak palace maid move?

Why do you have to have such a hard time having a meal?

The court officials sat on the ground and shared the food.

If you can eat in the same palace as the king, you will be honored.

Although Ju Su was having a meal for the first time, he was never panicked. He only needed to behave properly and behave in accordance with his words and deeds. This is more of a accumulation of cultivation.

Soup, meat, vegetables, rice and pastries, each is available, without limit. The jade and nectar are only limited to one cup. Even Liu Fujun, who is known as the wine hero, will have to pour three cups. In the afternoon, we still need to discuss matters, so how can we be drunk and mislead?

After eating, take a clean water and linen cloth to clean your hands and rinse your mouth. The palace maids remove the food utensils and clean up the remains. Then they carry the incense and smoke the balls and walk back and forth between the ministers. The aroma in the balls can not only refresh the mind, but also drive away the aroma of rice and wine.

Taking this opportunity, court officials can speak in a low voice, exchange some experiences in governing, and have some leisure and fun. When it comes to the rise, occasionally, Liu Bei also echoes his words and is happy for a while.

Seeing that the time had arrived, Zuo Guo ordered his men to be strangers, he spoke and restarted the discussion.

It was not until the end of the day that it was announced. Ju Su, who had been listening in a slight manner, got up and reported: "Lord, why not form an alliance between the seven kingdoms?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the needle could be heard.

Liu Bei was also stunned: "What do you mean by Gong Yu?"

Ju Su said again: "The Yellow Turbans in Jizhou are rampant, why not form an alliance with the six countries and fight against the bandits together."

In the midst of lightning, Xun You, the left chief of the shogunate, and Tian Feng, the military officer, had already understood the profound meaning of Ju Shu's words.

Xun You stood up and reported: "The army is correct for this plan, which can be regarded as the plan of the Kingdom of God!"
