Chapter 727: An Unexpected Opening


How big a ruler's belly is depends on the ruler's own ability.

The more capable a ruler is, the greater his belly usually becomes, because the ruler knows that he can hold it down and is willing to show the bearing of a ruler.

Only rulers who have little ability will always have the fear of "xx wants to harm me", that is, they themselves do not have the ability to suppress anyone, naturally they are not allowed to have even the slightest threat, and if they find that the threat is to use ridiculous and dirty means, they will kill people, and the family will inevitably be killed.

Another point is that the ruler must be young as he is capable, and many capable kings appear to have a lot of belly when they are young and in the prime of life, but when the ruler is old, his temperament will change "suddenly", and he will have to find any opportunity to cut off the threat.

That's because the old ruler is worried that he is already old, and he is worried that the next generation of heirs will not be able to suppress a group of old ministers, so he must not take advantage of his life to clear the way for the next generation of heirs to take over power Now Liu Yan is in the prime of life, and the group of ministers who followed him to fight the country are relatively old, so he really doesn't have Liu Bang's concerns about Han Xin, so there is no need to worry about one day when he kicks his legs and ascends to heaven, leaving behind someone who is both capable and actually threatening, and once again breaks everything to change the dynasty.

Liu Yan in his prime was not afraid of any threats, but he did not allow any ministers to be too presumptuous.

It has nothing to do with the self-esteem and face of a king, and the existence of such a person is a bad influence.

To put it bluntly, the official must have majesty, otherwise how to maintain social stability There is such a person who is attacking the official majesty all the time, just like an ant in a house, isn't it just digging the corners of the wall all the time, and the house is really dug up one day.

Liu Yan walked into the room slowly, followed by Liu Shen, and the father and son walked directly to the main seat with a screen.

At that moment, Xu Zheng had already stood up and gave way, Ran Min's cheeks continued to twitch and everyone maintained a saluting posture.

After Liu Yan sat down, he waved his hand, looked at Ran Min very deliberately, and said, "Sit down." ” The rest of the people sat down, but Ran Min still maintained a saluting posture, hesitated for a moment, and said in an astringent voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers are absolutely not dissatisfied. ” "As a hussar general, you should have the appearance of a hussar general."

Liu Yan didn't look at Ran Min, but glanced at the layout of the room: "Go back and reserve a hundred catties of gold and send it to Shaofu." ” "Hundred catties" Ran Min knew that Liu Yan was not really angry, and there was a smile on his face: "The king also knows that the ministers don't collect money, isn't it less?"

The heavy atmosphere in the room dissipated with the two sentences, Liu Yan was still the Liu Yan they knew, he still had the confidence that a ruler should have, and he was still generous to his ministers, and there was no trend to change.

Liu Yan is really generous to the people who follow him to fight the country, and there has always been an equal amount of reward for the corresponding merits, not only in the high-ranking officials, but also in the military or a local official, as long as there is merit, it will definitely be rewarded.

In ten years, a group of people who were originally nothing, as long as there was no battlefield in the warfall, there was no beautiful house, at least they had houses and land under their names.

Some of the people who have been crowned marquis because of their merits are sitting in high halls, surrounded by beautiful people, and holding heavy power in their hands, if it is not for the endless ambition, in fact, life can be said to be very happy.

"Enough is enough, Yongzeng."

Xu Zheng is not used to Ran Min's character that he will not die if he does not do it.

"The king is destined to be a famous king through the ages" Ran Min still had a hippie smile: "A hundred catties is a hundred catties." ” The "gold" that Liu Yan said is really gold, not brass.

In fact, the land of Zhuxia is vast, but to say that the land is vast is really self-deception.

The land of Zhuxia has never been a mineral-rich territory, and even the great plains that can be used as a grain producing area are pitiful.

The reserves of precious metals in the land of Zhuxia are really not very good, and the gold, silver, copper, and iron are really a little pitiful compared to other continents.

Historically, the Central Plains Dynasty obtained gold, silver, and copper from the surrounding areas, and obtained it by using the deficit in commodity trade.

If you want to talk about resources, in fact, the amount of coal is okay, that is, coal has a great use when modern industry develops.

Gold was regarded as a precious metal until the Han Dynasty, and it was not enough to be the currency in circulation, and it was generally made by the royal family into a beautiful gold cake to reward courtiers.

For example, after Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty captured Dawan, he rewarded 20,000 gold cakes with special commemorative significance at one time.

Because of their special significance, those gold cakes can also be used as a life-atoning object for "immortal sins", which has also driven the hobby of nobles and wealthy families to collect gold.

According to archaeological discoveries, after the death of the nobles and wealthy families of the Han Dynasty, the burial of gold was the largest in all dynasties, and there was a remark that the gold of Zhuxia was scarce by the burial of the Han Dynasty.

It must be said that this statement is simply the nonsense of some brick beasts who don't keep their mouths open, as always, and there are no rich gold deposits in the land of Zhuxia.

In today's Han Kingdom, gold is still not a circulating currency in the market, mainly because the possession of gold is not enough to support it to become a circulating currency in the market, but it is a virtue with the Han Dynasty, and people with conditions will collect a batch, and then Liu Yan will reward some when he is rewarded.

At present, the main use of gold is not only to make jewelry, but also to carry out various decoration and decoration purposes.

Because of the color of the gold itself, some people who have enough gold also make a "gold version" carved with beautiful patterns on the walls, floors and pillars, and if the light is enough, it is really a piece of gold.

Because of Liu Yan's arrival, no one understood what he was here for, and the old banquet should be removed and replaced with a new one, so naturally there were people from the wine shop to do it, but the crowd did not become silent because of the arrival of the king.

Because it's not a formal banquet, in addition to how to come naturally how comfortable, what should be chatting is still noisy.

"Your Majesty."

Ran Min didn't know when he had come to Liu Yan's seat, holding a jug of wine and patting: "I'm just a rough person, my mouth is open-mouthed, but I am absolutely loyal to the king." ” Liu Yan smiled and raised the wine cup.

He founded the country in anger at himself, and he couldn't stand Ran Min, who immediately made a decision to annex the whole country, he really didn't have any bad feelings, and he even felt that he had the ambition to be crowned the king, and he didn't have a sense of urgency that there would be endless troubles if he didn't kill him.

In life, there is no ideal and salted fish, what is the difference, but ambition cannot be aimed at harming others if you are happy, let alone beyond your own ability, otherwise you will not only harm others but also harm yourself.

Ran Min, who had drunk a whole pot of wine, lit up the empty wine jug, and was about to speak, but someone outside the door said something, and he didn't hear it clearly.

"Tai'an, Zishen and Yanzhi" Liu Yan knew that Ji Chang, Sang Yu and Lu Yi were all in this wine shop, and he came directly to the side of the military party: "Come in." ” The group of people was led by Ji Chang, Sang Yu and Lu Yi walked side by side, but they were followed by more than a dozen people, some of whom Liu Yan was not impressed.

"See the King" Everyone saluted Liu Yan first, as if they suddenly found out that Liu Shen was also present.

"I've seen Wang Zishen."

Liu Shen had already stood up and immediately returned the salute to everyone.

Liu Yan has been deliberately taking Liu Shen to appear on various occasions recently, and everyone is more and more sure that Liu Shen is the candidate he chose for the crown prince, and everyone naturally attaches more importance to Liu Shen.

If someone comes again, it must be to increase the position, and there are people from the wine shop who bring a table and a sitting, a pair of food and tableware, and the people who are waiting around must also be there.

The current eating habits are very complex, not only are many foods cooked and stewed on the spot, but even cut on the spot, which necessarily requires the help of specialized craftsmen.

The more formal the eating and drinking scene, the more people are waiting next to it, not for the sake of arranging the score, but for the sake of that.

Fortunately, this private room is large enough, and although it looks a little crowded with more than ten seats, it can at least fit in.

"Your Majesty."

After Sang Yu sat down, he immediately said: "The two behind the minister are from the mountain gate, and they are both erudite and talented people. ” The seating arrangement is a kind of ring, with people who think they are strong enough to be in the front row, others in the back, which means that there are people sitting behind everyone.

Looking at the circular seats, it looks very distinct.

For example, Xu Zheng is in the same row as Ran Min, but behind the two of them are Li Tan, Huan Wen, and Lu Tai, the three generals at the level of "Zheng", Xie An, the Lang of the West Zhonglang, is in the corner of the second echelon, and the third echelon is some of the Lang generals they brought, and Li Kuang is in the core among the Lang generals.

Zhang Gan and Li Mao were sitting behind Sang Yu, and it was they that Sang Yu had just introduced.

"Your Majesty."

Li Mao and Zhang Gan got up when Sang Yu introduced them, saluted and exhaled, and then sat down again.

Liu Yan didn't pay attention to Zhang Gan and Li Mao for the first time, his eyes swept over Ji Chang and Lu Yi, and then looked at the people behind the two.

Ji Chang did not introduce anyone to Liu Yan.

He didn't engage in his own faction, and this time the "Wind of Xia Xue" was only intended to be the host, not to fight for anything, but to ensure that the rest of the people were not unbalanced when they competed.

Lu Yi introduced some people, basically from the south, focusing on Luo Han, the first genius of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Everyone is at Liu Yan's suggestion to integrate cultural people, Liu Yan will not have any fear of this, on the contrary, he should praise Sang Yu and Lu Yi for doing things well, and in a short period of time, they have collected or pulled a group of people who can support the scene out.

"Where is the mountain gate, and what doctrine is the main vein" Zhang Gan and Li Mao glanced at each other instantly, and Zhang Gan stood up.

"Sit down, sit down" Liu Yan said with a smile: "On the banquet, there is no need for too much etiquette. ” Zhang Gan hesitated for a moment, and only sat down again after saluting, but he straightened his waist and said slowly: "The people of the countryside have taken refuge in the mountains of Leping County, and recently they have known that the Son of Heaven has expelled Hu Lu to restore Zhuxia.

Our study is mainly based on the study of Mencius. ” Liu Yan still studied Confucianism specifically, otherwise he wouldn't understand what Zhang Gan was saying.

After Confucius, Confucianism formed eight factions during the Warring States Period, which were Zizhang Confucianism, Zisi Confucianism, Yan Confucianism, Meng Confucianism, Qidiao Confucianism, Zhongliang Confucianism, Sun Confucianism and Le Zheng Confucianism.

The eight factions in the Warring States period withered a little, but after the first Han Dynasty, there were many factions, but they were mainly distinguished by the study of a certain book, some were good at commenting on the scriptures, some specialized in entering the WTO to govern the world, and there were also those who could touch everything, and there were more studies of ancient texts and just wanted to create new meanings, to be honest, it was very chaotic.

Li Mao slowly straightened his waist, bowed, and said, "The Son of Heaven is above, and my sect is studying, mainly Jia Zi." ” What is Jia Zi called "Zi" is a custom of university scholars and great men in ancient times, and the Jia Zi in Li Mao's mouth is actually Jia Yi of the Western Han Dynasty.

Jia Yi was deeply influenced by Zhuangzi and Liezi.

The main literary achievements of the prose are political essays, commenting on current affairs, the style is simple and straightforward, and the discussion is hearty, Lu Xun called it "the Western Han Dynasty Hongwen", and the representative works have been Qin Theory, On Accumulation and Sparseness, Chen Zheng Shi Shu and so on.

Its rhetoric is all in the form of a commotion, and the form tends to be scattered, which is the precursor of the development of the Han Fu, and the most famous is the Hanging Qu Yuan Fu and the Ostrich Fu.

To tell the truth, of course Liu Yan knew Mencius, but he was really unfamiliar with Jia Yi, so he asked two more questions, and only when he heard that Jia Yi had written about Qin was he impressed.

The theory of passing the Qin Dynasty is not only a masterpiece in the early Han Dynasty, but also in any subsequent dynasty there are few works that can be surpassed, and later generations hesitate to focus on the smear and elimination of thousands of years of Confucianism, and it is difficult to find a reliable record about the Qin Empire.

To say one thing, Jia Yi's theory of passing the Qin Dynasty is very famous, but it is only the words of one family, and he himself is also in this tone, and he does not emphasize that what he says is the truth.

Liu Yan knew who Jia Yi was, but he didn't know what the proposition was.

Of course, Li Mao seized the opportunity to introduce it well, and in general, Jia Yi's proposition was to "build the princes in the crowd and reduce their strength", strengthen the centralization of power and emphasize agriculture and suppress business.

Strengthen the centralization of power, no ruler will not like it, Liu Yan also paid attention to it, and really remembered Li Mao.

Sang Yu's hole cards are Zhang Gan and Li Mao, and Liu Yan has always thought that Sang Yu must have something to ask for in this scene, and it is likely that he wants to suppress the southern cultural people one step further.

Sang Yu not only introduced Zhang Gan and Li Mao, but also some other people, that is, no one except Li Mao gave Liu Yan much interest.

Later, Lu Yiyi introduced, except for Cailuo Han, the first genius of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they were basically some well-known literati, but Liu Yan asked again and again, and they couldn't say anything that interested Liu Yan.

Li Mao seems to have won the first place in this self-introduction, and people with a heart can naturally see it, but it makes some people anxious
