Chapter 28: The Great Chaos (2)

The Eastern Han Dynasty was competing for the warlords and the warlords were separatist. Unlike the era when hungry people were everywhere and eating each other, the mainland of China was under the years of governance by Wei, Shu and Wu, and the people's livelihood plans became stable. The people were also content with the status quo, and the slogan of restoring the Han Dynasty was no longer appealing.

Liu Chan's actions were decades ago, and many people thought that Liu Chan would become a vassal prince and follow him. That was the means of heroes in troubled times. Now the ministers and the people are looking forward to a wise ruler in the world. When the ministers entered the palace under the orders, many people were still nervous. The successive major events in the palace were already an ominous place.

Seeing the ministers entering the palace, Liu Chan secretly thanked that as the king of a country, he was still far from being. But with Yang Xi, Zhuge Zhan, Fan Jian, Zhang Shao, Qiao Zhou and others loyally assisted him. As long as he worked hard, he would eventually become a wise monarch. In just half a day, Fan Jian, Zhang Shao, and Qiao Zhou contacted a group of patriotic ministers and comforted and deterred the court and the country. Seeing that the bosses were so calm, the ministers were at ease, and some people rushed to tell each other, but the turmoil was not caused.

An is still unconfidenced. You and Chen Fu are getting closer, and I am getting closer. Everyone has seen the situation of the Chen and Xu family. Once Your Majesty pursues it, how many Chinese civil and military officials in this court can be left? Because of the prince incident, are there few people who have been exterminated? People are already standing in the court and can't run away. Just bit the bullet and listen to Your Majesty's order first, and take one step at a time, and you can only do this.

Qiao Zhou first made a long discussion. The old man was pressed by Chen Fu and Huang Hao, and now he has a day to make a comeback. Qiao Zhou listed two fictional countries, "Yu" and "Zhaojian". Because Yu is a small country, Zhaojian is a big country, and the two countries have a feud. Gao Xianqing, a native of Yu, asked Fu Yuzi what strategy should he use when facing a big country as a small country. This is extended to the strategy that Shu Kingdom should adopt at present. This is the famous "Theory of the Kingdom of Evil". However, the content has changed from later generations, and later generations focused on military timing and analysis to how to govern the country.

"Since ancient times, there has been death, and people will not be established without trust. If their body is upright, they will not be followed by orders; if their body is not upright, they will not be followed even if orders are not followed. Your Majesty should imitate the wise kings of all dynasties and start by themselves. If all officials follow, all people will follow; if all people follow, the national style will be established. This is the foundation of all generations!"

Liu Chan closed his eyes and passed Qiao Zhou's words several times in his heart. Since ancient times, all people have died, and people have no faith. Although Shu Han established a country, the word "trust" has long disappeared from top to bottom. What the old man said is not false... On the other hand, if he used national discipline to coerce ministers, the ministers would naturally imitate it. Over time, the country would do this, how can it be felt? What Qiao Zhou mentioned is actually the same as what he did. He would naturally follow his subordinates for evil, and his subordinates would naturally follow his subordinates for good.

The monarch's likes and dislikes determine the future of the country, and this is how ruler man is.

Qiao Zhou went back to the class after a long talk. Zhuge Zhan, Fan Jian and others also submitted a memorial. Seeing that Liu Chan was doing good and his calm atmosphere slightly reduced his sense of heaviness.

What Zhuge Zhan said was Chen Fu's handling. Since it was Chen and Xu's masterminds, the rest were forced to do so under his tyranny and should not be investigated to show your majesty's kindness. Many of the ministers had something to do with Chen Fu, and they were grateful to see Zhuge Zhan advocated this. Liu Chan also knew that he should accept the people's hearts at this time and naturally approved the report. Seeing Your Majesty's promise, the ministers fell to the bottom of their hearts and knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

When it comes to what Fan Jian said, it is another scene, greedy! In private, Yang Xi revealed this situation vaguely. With Liu Chan's cleverness, he had already guessed that this thing has existed since ancient times and has always been like this. Even if it is time travel, it will not change. After Yang Xi's confirmation, Liu Chan has already had new ideas and put away the unrealistic ideas of the past. Fan Jian's appearance was a step forward. Fan Jian pondered at home for a long time, and the timing was not bad at all, which not only demonstrated the power of Your Majesty, but also took into account the face of the ministers. Although the words were subtle, the meaning was clear. In the past, it should have been torn off with Chen Yu's page, and the anti-corruption and integrity should start from the present.

This coincides with what Liu Chan thought. If he really beats a tiger, there will be not many officials in Shu Han. In this era, talents were particularly precious, and not many of them had the conditions to read and read, most of them were noble families. Among the poor, there were hard students who could study hard, but it was even more difficult to make a name for themselves. In the era of separatist heroes, they could still take a gamble, and heroes did not care about their origins. Nowadays, it is not feasible. The country is stable and various systems have also been stable. For example, the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system of Wei State is one of the representatives.

To govern the country, we have to rely on these people, so we naturally cannot cut it off with one piece of cake because of greed. Liu Chan also nodded and agreed. Seeing that His Majesty was kind, the ministers were filled with joy. They knelt on the ground again and shouted long live. This time, it was truly from the heart, and it seemed extremely precious to Liu Chan.

After dispelling the doubts of the ministers, the people's hearts were temporarily stabilized, Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief. He began to discuss how to deal with Chen Qi and others. The Chen and Xu family had a large number of staff, and they were the leaders of the gentry in Shu. If they were not careful, they would affect the newly established people's hearts. According to the laws, they should be handed over to the Tingwei for trial. The Tingwei Yang Xiu gave a bitter advice and kowtow and bleeding. He saw that Liu Chan was lost and knew that he would return. He fainted in excitement. The imperial physician ordered Li Ji was diagnosed and treated. It is said that he would take peace for a while.

Many of the ministers have received the favor of Chen Qi, but they cannot help but be willing to help. Your Majesty has just pardoned the ministers and how can you be favored? Besides, this is a major case that has attracted national attention, and personal gain is probably just thinking about it. At most, it is to let the Chen Qi family suffer less. What Your Majesty means is still unclear. If the case is sentenced lightly and does not match Your Majesty's will, it will not escape the suspicion of being a party for personal gain. But if the sentence is severe, the officials in the court who have received the favor of Chen Qi must be dissatisfied and offended many colleagues, and their future will be unpredictable. Thinking of this, the ministers who were eager to try it gradually became quiet.

The Confucian style was prevalent in Shu Han, and few people practiced the reputation of punishment. Most officials were officials below, which was embarrassed to investigate this major case. Your Majesty was convicted of Huang Hao and the prince himself, and there was no difficulty. This time, he acted according to the law and rules, which was also a manifestation of Your Majesty's "reform" and the ministers were not good at it.

After waiting for a while, the ministers came up with a solution, and waited for Mr. Yang to come to examine the case. Mr. Yang was famous for his verdict, and everyone praised the case he had in charge. Except for Mr. Yang, the civil and military officials in the court could no longer find a second person to win this position. Seeing that everyone said this, Liu Chan nodded and agreed.

It was already evening. Liu Chan ordered the palace to hold a banquet for the ministers. As the sermon and ministers were drinking, the friendship between the king and the ministers became stronger, at least on the surface was very harmonious. At that night, the ministers returned home with great fun, and most of them were drunk. Liu Chan was not drunk, and Liu Chan in later generations had a great alcohol tolerance, and Liu Chan was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun.

The winemaking technology of the Three Kingdoms era should be in a relatively extensive stage. They are all brewed wines, but rice and water are made in a certain proportion. There is no secondary fermentation technology, so the degree of the wine will basically not exceed five degrees. Some are sour and some are sweet, and the taste is similar to the sweet rice wine in later generations. Liu Chan, who often "Plenary Session of the Third CPC Central Committee", was very unaccustomed to this taste.

The next morning, after washing up, he was bringing Sima Shengzhi and Wei Ji came to report. The three of them were responsible for the recruitment of internal vocations in the palace since Chen Qi was imprisoned. More than 400 people have been selected into the palace for two consecutive days. Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard the news: "The old people in the palace are very tired, so he ordered everyone to hold on. When the new people are in place, the old people can take turns to rest in two batches. For the old people, there will be double sounds this month and no delays are allowed."

But when they heard this, they were both doing their own business. Not long after, Sun Ning, the Zongzheng, also came to see him. Liu Chan slapped his forehead and remembered that he was going to hold a clan meeting because Chen Qi was delayed. Now that he has not yet settled, everyone must have been anxious.

Sun Ning was not in a hurry. It was a matter of trouble and should put national affairs first. But this time he came to offer the number and details of the participants. Liu Chan took it and saw it, and was stunned.

"This...there are only a few people in the royal family?"

Sun Ning thought to himself, how many people are there, Your Majesty, you don’t know yet?

"Forget it, I've called you into the palace. I've seen it first." Before Sun Ning could answer, Liu Chan continued.

Shortly after Sun Ning left, two more people came. One was Xu Xun and the other was Yin Zong, both of them were doctors of the current dynasty. Liu Chan originally intended to keep Qiao Zhou by his side to consult matters, and secretly learn etiquette and the way of governing the country. But Qiao Zhou had long been the master of the crown prince Liu Rui and could no longer be the master of the emperor. Therefore, everyone recommended Xu and Yin and the other two shouldered the responsibility of teaching Liu Chan. However, Liu Chan was already in his fifties and could not invite teachers anymore, so the two stayed with Liu Chan as the minister of the Yellow Sect, and followed and taught the emperor's rituals all day long.

The Shangshutai did not officially appoint, but it is recognized that Fan Jian and Deng Liang led the way. Everything in the court was proceeding in an orderly manner, as if nothing had happened. Gao Wan and Du Zhen were sent to the Shangshutai to be responsible for appeasement of refugees. Before they were promoted, they were both minor officials and had rich experience. They knew very well how lower-level officials treated the people and how superiors were greedy. After receiving the order of Your Majesty, they were proficient in the arts, and other officials dared not interfere, so things went very smoothly.

Everything was on the right track and returned to the hustle and bustle of the past. Liu Chan felt very comfortable. He had just had breakfast and saw Zhuge Zhan and Fan Jian and the other two entered the palace to visit.

"Two my dear friends, get up quickly..." Liu Chan got up and helped the two of them.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Right General Yan Yu urgently reported that the barbarians were unwilling to be naturalized, so they resisted Your Majesty's order and launched troops to cause chaos!" Fan Jian said.

Liu Chan was shocked when he heard this. He started a rebellion, wouldn’t it be a rebellion? When the emperor was rebelled by humans, it felt really bad.

"How could this be?"

"I don't know the details yet. I only say that the barbarians gathered 30,000 people rebelled in Wuyang. The prefect of Wuyang was trapped in the mansion, and Yan Yu led hundreds of people to escape from the city. Please send troops to quell the rebellion." Zhuge Zhan replied.

At this time, several ministers came to the palace to report. The Hanjia, Dongguanghan and Jiangyang counties sent people to report that the rioters gathered and changed, attacked the county town, plagiarized the arsenal, and launched troops to cause chaos. The prefectures and counties had sent troops to suppress them. In case of precautions, the court asked to send more reinforcements.
