Chapter 180 In Spring
In the hall, the young Liu Xie also cast doubtful eyes on Yang Biao.
Yang Biao explained calmly: "This move seems to be just a reward to the princes. But the real purpose of doing this is to be for our Han court. The main purpose of doing this is to prevent the mutual annexation between the princes and ultimately lead to a dominant situation."
Liu Xie, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, saying only two words, "What's the solution?"
"Now, the princes can attack other people's lands with one excuse. Why, because the princes are all destined officials in name, and anyone can be punished by others in the name of the court, and anyone can be punished by others.
If they were to give them the honor of kings and princes, they would draw a clear line of territory between them. Then they would be legitimate as the lord of the country of the country. As long as there was no usurpation, they would not need to be governed by others in the country of the country. If anyone among them was arbitrarily attacking other countries, it would be equivalent to treason. The princes of the world would jointly fight against the thieves and end up like the two Yuans."
Zhu Jun snorted coldly from the side: "But where is the place where this is my 400-year-old man? Isn't this equivalent to the fact that my Han Dynasty has been destroyed in name only? When Emperor Gaozu's white horse swore, there was no king in the world. Isn't this a betrayal of his ancestors?"
Sikong Huangfu Song then made a speech: "How can we say that our Han Dynasty is in name only? The country that had lasted for nearly a thousand years before Zhou, can we say that the Zhou emperor was fake? When Emperor Gaozu opened the court, there were more than a dozen vassal states. Emperor Gaozu had a million troops at that time, and he had to use the power of attacking the overlord of Chu Xiang Yu, so he had to do so. Now our Han Dynasty only has only five thousand soldiers, and we have to rely on the princes of all sides to destroy the rebels. How can we achieve the power of a monarch like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu?"
Seeing that they were arguing, Liu Xie raised his eyes to look at Situ Cai Yong. Cai Yong lowered his eyes and stood aside without saying a word.
"Cai Qing, how do you view this matter?"
Seeing Liu Xie asking on his own initiative, Cai Yong had to answer: "Your Majesty, I forgive my old minister for not answering this matter. The old minister needs to avoid it." Liu Xie thought about it, his son-in-law was one of the nine princes. No matter what he said, he was suspected of being favored, so he stopped asking him.
Liu Xie said calmly: "Today's court meeting is over. I have not been able to take charge of the government yet. Let the officials discuss and make decisions as usual, and submit it to me for the seal."
The eunuch watching the yellow gate immediately sang: "If you have something to say, you will leave the court if you have nothing to say!" Seeing that no one made another memorial, Liu Xie waved his sleeves and retreated from the hall, and the ministers also left the hall in an orderly manner...
...
In March, Feng Yu accompanied Cai Yan and Wei Lier to the outskirts of Zhuyang to visit the spring. At the same time, he also went to find places suitable for growing sugarcane.
A large number of guards surrounded the carriage and marched upward along the water. Feng Yu suddenly saw a thatched house built in the suburbs along the mountains and rivers. Although the materials used in the house were simple, the courtyard and hall were extremely clean.
He was surprised in his heart, because Zhuyang's houses were generally built systematically and had a unified architectural style. Even the mansions of his staff and generals were also luxurious houses in the city.
Feng Yu asked, "Whose house is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is a house built by Zhuge Xuan, the prime minister of Zhuyang Kingdom!"
Feng Yu nodded and said, "So that's it. I heard that the Prime Minister was unwell recently. Since he was here, we will go and visit Mr. Zhuge."
After Zhuge Xuan was unable to succeed in Yuzhang, he came to join Feng Yu. At this time, he had replaced Xun You as the prime minister of Zhuyang, and Xun You had become the chief clerk of Liangzhou.
When Feng Yu came to the gate of Zhuge's mansion, the servants in the mansion had already gone to report. Two young men, one big and one small, were already greeting Feng Yu at the door. The older one was Zhuge Jin, but the younger one was Zhuge Liang. Under the guidance of the two, Feng Yu entered the inner room and visited Zhuge Xuan who was ill in bed.
When Zhuge Xuan saw Feng Yu coming, he forced himself to sit up and said, "The lord bowed to visit his subordinates in person, which really made his subordinates panic. I wish he could not be treated with courtesy."
Feng Yu quickly stopped him: "The prime minister does not need to be too polite, it is important to recuperate."
After Feng Yu comforted him a few words, Zhuge Xuan suddenly said, "Lord, my subordinates know that there is not much time left. I have joined my subordinates and have not achieved enough results, so I have to die. I am really ashamed. I dare to ask for my subordinates for the matter."
Feng Yu continued: "Just say it."
"I have no children and no children, only five nephews, nieces, men and women, two or three of them are underage. I hope that after my subordinates, the lord can take care of them."
"This is natural. Needless to say, the Prime Minister will do it. The Prime Minister is good at cultivating, so don't worry about the rest."
Seeing that Zhuge Xuan was indeed in serious condition, Feng Yu dismissed Zhuge Xuan's bedroom. When he arrived outside, he chatted with Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang again.
Feng Yu asked, "Are you studying in a school now?"
Zhuge Jin smiled and said, "General, I have passed the age of honor. My two younger brothers are at the age of studying, but they did not go to school in the city. Instead, they were taught by their father's daily free time. Sometimes they also taught themselves."
"Oh? So that's it." Feng Yu became curious and asked Zhuge Liang what he learned in daily life. Zhuge Liang told him in a casual manner, with a shy expression, but he spoke neatly and fluently.
Feng Yu gave several more questions and took Zhuge Liang. Finally, he found that the knowledge he involved was quite complicated, but he had no system. This required him to work hard to organize and summarize with his talent.
Feng Yu shook his head and said, "What a kid has learned is not real knowledge."
Zhuge Liang turned his head and said anxiously: "What is the real knowledge that the general said? What is the difference between what the boy learned?"
Feng Yu smiled and said, "It's hard to express it by words, and you can't understand it. You just need to go to Zhuyang School to see what the knowledge you have learned there is different from what you have learned."
Zhuge Liang looked up at Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin nodded to agree to him going to Zhuyang School. Zhuge Liang said to Feng Yu: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to the general's school to see it."
In fact, the knowledge taught by the systematic school in Zhuyangzhong is closer to the modern knowledge system.
It is not just as simple as more subjects in natural subjects. There are also many miscellaneous studies in this era that involve natural sciences. However, modern knowledge is self-logical and systematic. It not only teaches people knowledge, but also teaches people how to think about problems. For example, the difference between "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Geometry".
After Feng Yu came out of Zhuge's mansion, he took his wife and concubine to travel around and finally found a place suitable for planting sugarcane and is relatively confidential. In the dimension of Zhuyang, planting sugarcane will definitely not be high yield, but it is indeed possible to plant it, which is much lower than honey.
Feng Yu then transferred out the system and opened a thousand acres of sugarcane fields here. The system will draw personnel to farm.
Feng Yu returned to Zhuyang and built the sugar maker and the Cheetah Training Center. Just as he was about to return home, a soldier came to report that the imperial envoy came.
