17. The Prince of Virtue
"What? Your Majesty is giving porridge to provide disaster relief?" Xu Xuan frowned and said, "How much food is needed in a day?"
Liu Xiaqing said frightenedly: "Three, Three Stones."
The muscles on Xu Xuan's face immediately relaxed. The ox and horse captain had too shallow eyes, so he asked him to coax a child to be the emperor with peace of mind, but why was he so confused? Just three stone grain made the little emperor furious, and he wanted to abdicate and said nothing.
Xu Xuan was in charge of the food for hundreds of thousands of people, and the money and grain transported to the front line every day was thousands of stones. Three stones a day were counted as P! If only thirty stones, what could three hundred stones be like? The little bit of residue in the teeth of hundreds of thousands of troops was enough for the emperor to struggle for several years.
Although no one took this emperor seriously, it could not be replaced casually. If this is spread, what would the people in the world say? Forcing the emperor to abdicate is equivalent to arbitrarily deposed and established, which is something that super powerful ministers can do. In the history of the Han Dynasty, only the general Huo Guang and the new Taizu Wang Mang did this. Everyone knows the fate of these two people. Huo Guang himself died, but behind him, the Huo family was destroyed, let alone Wang Mang. The whole world regards him as a traitor, and the emperor was suspended by the leader Chang'an.
Who knows when in the future, will Xu Xuan be settled by Qiu Hou? No, this emperor must be stable, and Liu Penzi must do it even if he doesn’t do it!
Xu Xuan's face darkened and he shouted: "Liu Xiaqing, you are bothering me for the sake of Sanshijiao... Do you think Xu is too idle?
"Prime Minister, I, Old Liu, have no meaning. But His Majesty's dozens of guards are so edible. His Majesty also uses the food of the Han Dynasty to help the people. It's too much food. I, don't I feel sorry for me?" Liu Xiaqing was really a little afraid of the Prime Minister.
"The food of the Han Dynasty? Is the one whom Your Majesty is not the people of the Han Dynasty? What's wrong with the people of the Han Dynasty eating the food of the Han Dynasty?"
Xu Xuan sighed to Fang Yang, a counselor beside him, "In the past, Emperor Wu set up a Yulin Army, which had thousands of people. He traveled to the court and was in the palace and spent money and food. Our Majesty only found dozens of friends, played with disaster relief, and used a few stones of food, and some people said that he was in vain. Could Emperor Wu be the Emperor of Han, and our Majesty was not the Emperor of Han?"
Fang Yang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is unanimously elected by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The emperor selected by King Jing of Chengyang is of course the orthodox Han Dynasty. How can you make a joke? Your Majesty's ancestor was Emperor Gao's eldest son, while Emperor Wu's grandfather was Emperor Gao's fourth son. They were both born in vain. They had a legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legiti
Liu Penzi's ancestor was Liu Bang's eldest son, Liu Fei, King Qi, and Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Heng, the grandfather of Emperor Wen of Liu Bang, were the fourth sons of Liu Bang. Both of them were born in vain. After the Lu family was destroyed, Liu Fei and his group had a high call for succession, but the ministers were afraid that they were too powerful, so they forced the crown to the unknown Dai King Liu Heng.
Fang Yang said: "My great Han is a great country. Either those small countries or a county magistrate, he has no followers when traveling, let alone the emperor. His Majesty has dozens of guards, which is really too frugal."
Liu Xiaqing was a little sweaty, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his ignorance and petty aura. No wonder he was born into a lowly slave, so how could he know the pomp of these emperors? As an emperor, it is normal to have thousands of Yulinlangs accompany him. Now, Emperor Jianshi only has dozens of guards. He is so frugal, Liu Xiaqing even thinks that His Majesty spends money and food, and is really inferior to pigs and dogs!
Fang Yang also said: "Your Majesty's disaster relief is a kind act. People all accused our army of thieves and abused the people. Your Majesty's move can justify our army and spread it. Who doesn't say that Your Majesty is a wise monarch and our army is a rebel army? It's just that you count stones of food in a day, but it has such effects, which is worth nothing, and it's really a wonderful game."
To put it bluntly, this is a super cost-effective advertisement with small investment and large output. The Red Eyebrow Army robbed from the east to the west, and how many families were destroyed? Now, if you spend a little food to eat for the people, you can immediately gain the reputation of benevolence. Where can you find this good thing?
Xu Xuanfu said, "Great kindness! Let those people see if my Qingzhou army is a thief or a king's army? Your Majesty has provided good disaster relief and great relief!"
Liu Xiaqing's eyes were wet and she choked and said, "It turns out that Your Majesty has such great use for disaster relief. He does good deeds for the people and clears the name of our Qingzhou army. He is really a good intention. Your Majesty, Your Majesty is such a rare benevolent king! But I, Old Liu, I also said to him... and said to him... Woo, I am sorry to Your Majesty, I am really wronged. I will go to apologize to Your Majesty now!"
Xu Xuan said: "Person Liu, you just need to watch out for Your Majesty, serve him and have fun. Don't let him run around, and ensure he is safe as the emperor. The guards' money, grain and disaster relief needs are all provided by the Grand Secretary's Agricultural Deposit. You don't have to ask me within twenty stones, just go and collect it!"
According to the weight unit of the current twenty-stone millet, it is about one thousand pounds. So much food is used a day at will, so this authority is quite good. However, ancient people were very consuming food because the food of the people in ancient times was mainly food, and the side food was very scarce, unlike modern chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables. In addition, the ancients did a lot of physical work, consumed a lot, and could eat it. Unlike modern people, the four bodies were not diligent, especially some dead houses, how much food can they eat at home every day?
After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Liu Xiaqing was relieved. Twenty stones a day were enough for His Majesty to do anything. Old Liu didn't have to worry about food. Although he was scolded by the Prime Minister for making a big deal and asked for instructions for any big deal, Old Liu was not stupid. It was better to do something big than not report when it was informed. He was too sensitive about the emperor and everything was better if he had nothing to do. If there was something wrong, he would be a ready-made scapegoat. So Old Liu decided to report diligently and more frequently. He would rather be scolded than be suspected by the Prime Minister, nor could he add unnecessary risks to himself.
The Niu and Horse Captain was relieved, but Liu Penzi was about to be worried!
When robbing the people's food, you are the wise lord, and you are the benevolent monarch. So what about the foolish monarch who is promised?
It’s too difficult to be a fool in Mala Gobi!
Why is he a good emperor no matter how hard he is? Why don’t these people talk about logic at all? Can’t everyone see how prodigal and stupid he is?
His Majesty, the wise and kind-hearted Emperor Jianshi, lay on the couch angrily, allowing two dead eunuchs to give him a full body massage, thinking about his great cause of dizziness.
Is it really necessary to build a wine pond, meat forest, harm loyal and kind, dig people's hearts and burn them?
His eyes lit up at the two dead eunuchs.
"Nuotao and horse face, are you two loyal to me?"
Niuta suddenly became excited, stroked his pectoral muscles with his hand and shouted, "Your Majesty, how can you ask this? I am so kind to Mingyue. For Your Majesty, I am willing to die even if I die!"
The horse face was not willing to fall behind and cried and said, "I am the whole body and mind of my majesty. Even if you ask me to go up to the mountain of swords and sea of fire, I will never hesitate and will never hesitate for your majesty."
Liu Penzi couldn't help but tremble. Your whole body and mind belong to me. It's so disgusting. What do I want your body and mind to do?
But since they are willing to die for His Majesty the Emperor, this matter will be easy to deal with.
"Okay, I will do it for you, and you will die!" Liu Benzi said happily: "You loyal and righteous ministers are just right to be the target of the foolish monarch. I will be punished by a cannon tomorrow... No, the cannon column is a bit troublesome, just use a oil pan. It is also very good to put the oil pan, and it will die very crispy. I have never seen the appearance of a living person frying, so I will use you two loyal and kind people to do the experiment!"
Putting the oil pan? Crispy? The bullhead suddenly hugged the emperor's legs and cried: "No, no, I have to serve Your Majesty for the rest of my life. Your Majesty will spare my life!"
The horse face was so scared that it was no one looked shy. He kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, I am not a loyal servant, I am a villain!"
He suddenly pointed at Niu Tou and said, "He, bait him and put down his oil pan. He is loyal!"
The bull head went up and slapped him, "Who are you scolding? Who are you loyal? You are loyal! Your whole family is loyal!"
Seeing the two loyal and good men rolling around on the ground and attacking each other, Liu Penzi suddenly lost interest. Only these two dead eunuchs were still loyal and good men. Does anyone believe it?
It seems that the trick of cannon is not used, mainly because of the lack of loyalty and kindness. His Majesty the Emperor of Han sighed that his subordinates lacked strong ministers, and his worries came from it and could not be cut off.
It’s all because of Liu Penzi’s character, his values are too positive, and his image is too perfect. It’s so hard to be a fool. His Majesty the Emperor looked at his handsome black face in the bronze mirror and was a little annoyed.
