Chapter 895
Liu Jing stared at his son with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts. Is his master Meng Guang advised him through the mouth of the child? Liu Jing was suddenly a little unhappy.
Liu Zhi had two masters in front of him. The previous master Lai Min. Although he was knowledgeable, he was unruly and had been drunk and sleeping in prostitutes many times. Tao Zhan hated him deeply and resolutely fired him. Later, he was recommended by Yin Mo, and Meng Guang was Liu Zhi's second master.
Meng Guang is naturally academic and upright, but he also has weaknesses, that is, he is extremely stubborn, often fighting with Lai Min for a little knowledge, and he is more confined to books and lacks human nature. Liu Jing is not very satisfied with him.
However, Meng Guang strictly governed Liu Zhi's virtues, even surpassing the professor's knowledge, and often warned him to be indifferent to power, sympathize with the people, and not compete with the people for profit. Liu Jing agreed with this point. He was immediately seizing the world and governing the country with kingly ways and even domineering. By his son's generation, the economy was developing and the people needed stability. At this time, he needed to imitate Wen and Jing's governance, recuperate and implement inaction.
Therefore, although Liu Jing was a little dissatisfied with Meng Guang's scholarly aura, for this reason, Liu Jing still reluctantly accepted him as his son's master. However, if Meng Guang wanted to influence himself through his son, Liu Jing would never tolerate it.
Liu Zhi hurriedly explained: "This has nothing to do with the master. Because last month, the master taught me the intention of usurpation and mentioned that the palace was overthrown. In order to be overthrown, it would make the world despise. I thought that we seemed to move into the Weiyang Palace, which is the place of emperors and not for us to live in, so the child wanted to advise his father not to move into the Weiyang Palace."
Liu Jing nodded. It seemed that it was not taught by his master. Although his son's idea was a bit naive, thinking that he was only nine years old, Liu Jing was relieved to say this.
Liu Jing smiled and said, "We will not live in the Weiyang Palace for the time being, but it is not the reason you mentioned, but I don't want to be too extravagant. We will live in the Dajia Palace. This is the palace of Emperor Guangwu. In your words, it is a bit outrageous."
"But why did my father have to act arrogantly and let others catch the handle and make a statement?" Liu Zhi said anxiously.
Liu Jing did not answer him, but pointed to Xue Jing outside the window and smiled, "Let's go for a walk outside the city together!"
"The child is willing to go out with his father!"
Liu Jing immediately ordered the guards to prepare two camels. Although Liu Zhihui rode a horse, he had never rode a camel. When Liu Jing carried him onto the high hump and sat down, he was so scared that he was trembling all over.
At this time, Tao Zhan also rushed to the gate when she heard the news. Seeing her son riding on such a tall camel, she was worried and asked, "Husband, you are riding a camel with Zhi'er!"
"No!"
Liu Jing smiled and shook his head and said, "He rode one end by himself, I rode the other end."
Tao Zhan's face changed color because of fear, "This is too dangerous. Husband, you should be with him! He is still young after all."
Liu Jing turned around and said to his son: "Zhier, you can decide for yourself!"
Liu Zhi bit his lips and whispered to his mother: "Mother, I can ride it, no problem!"
"But"
Liu Jing walked up to his wife and smiled, "He is your son, but he is also my son, so don't worry!"
Tao Zhan thought it made sense. Her husband loved her eldest son as much as he did. How could he let his son take risks? He must be sure. Tao Zhan nodded, "Okay! You must be careful and come back early."
Liu Jing shouted, and the camel knelt down. He also turned over the camel and smiled at Tao Zhan from afar: "Princess, if you want to ride too, I might as well arrange another one."
"Go quickly! Take good care of Zhi'er." Tao Zhan waved his hand and looked at his son with heartache.
Under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, the two camels slowly set out and headed out of the northern city. Tao Zhan looked at his son's camel and walked away. Seeing that he was riding steadily, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Liu Zhi was very nervous, he soon discovered that riding a camel was easier than riding a horse, and it was very stable. As long as he maintained balance, it would basically not fall off. Moreover, there was a camel man in front holding the reins for him.
As the team walked out of the north gate, Liu Zhi gradually adapted to riding a camel. He turned around and looked at his father. Liu Jing smiled and said, "Do you don't need a camel husband?"
Liu Zhi nodded, and Liu Jing immediately ordered the camel husband to give the reins to Liu Zhi and let him ride alone. Liu Jing knew that as long as the camel walked slowly, his son would be fine. The camel was hard to ride, and it was time to run.
After adapting to riding a camel, Liu Zhi turned his gaze to the snow scene. He saw that the entire Guanzhong plain was covered with heavy snow. The jade trees and branches were like a snowy world. In addition, he rode high, so he felt even more relaxed and happy. He couldn't help but praise: "How magnificent!"
Liu Jing pointed to the sky with a horse whip, "Look at the sky!"
Liu Zhi looked up and saw that there was no white cloud in the sky, as blue as an endless gem. A goshawk circled above his head. Liu Zhi stared at the eagle, staring at it with envy, spreading its wings and soaring in the sky.
Liu Jing smiled slightly and blew the eagle flute. The eagle circled a few times, getting lower and lower. Suddenly, it closed its wings and fell like an arrow. Finally, it fell lightly on Liu Jing's shoulder. Liu Jing took out a piece of fresh meat and fed it, and gently stroked its feathers.
Liu Zhiwei was surprised and asked quickly: "Father, is it a Xinying?"
"No! It's a falcon, my eagle."
The eagle raised its head proudly and cooed twice, as if protesting against Liu Zhi's view of it as a trusted eagle. Liu Zhi liked it very much. He reached out to touch the eagle, but he retracted his hand and dared not touch it.
Liu Jing took out a piece of fresh meat and handed it to him, "Feed it with meat!"
Liu Zhi took the meat carefully and slowly reached out to his hand. The Falcon was already impatient and took the meat away from his hand in one bite. Liu Zhi laughed, was a little braver, and fed two more pieces of meat. Liu Jing smiled and said, "You can touch it!"
Liu Zhi finally reached out and gently stroked the eagle's back. The eagle raised its head and looked at Liu Zhi with a sharp look, but did not peck him.
"Father, can you let it stand on my shoulder?" Liu Zhi begged in a low voice.
Liu Jing smiled, stroked the falcon, whispered something to it, and slowly placed the falcon on Liu Zhi's tender shoulder. Liu Zhi was overjoyed, and finally an eagle stood on his shoulder.
But in just a moment, the eagle suddenly spread its wings and flew straight into the sky. At this moment, the eagle's wings spread out in front of Liu Zhi's eyes. He felt as if he was flying with the eagle. He felt that his blood was rippling in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout loudly, "Fly! Fly to the nine heavens!"
Liu Jing and the soldiers laughed. Liu Jing hugged his son and asked him to ride with him. He clamped his legs hard and shouted loudly. The camel stepped on his long legs and ran on the snow. Hundreds of cavalry followed closely behind.
Liu Zhi could only feel the wind whistling in his ears. He was like an eagle, flying on the boundless snowfield. This stimulation made him extremely excited and shouted loudly.
Liu Jing ran to the majestic Weiyang Palace and pointed at the palace with a horse whip, "Do my son dare to live in this palace?"
Liu Zhi was open-minded and ambitious at this time. He had long put aside any prejudice and nodded heavily, "What's not to dare?"
Liu Jing laughed, "Don't you mind any prejudice now?"
Liu Zhi suddenly realized that his father used another method to enlighten him. At this time, he remembered that he had been careful just now, for fear of being overthrown the palace and being discussed by the people of the world. But now, he felt that this little thing was really not worth mentioning. He also said loudly: "Father, I understand. A real man should be careful about the world. What can he do if he lives in Weiyang Palace?"
"Well said! This is my Liu Jing's son."
Liu Jing was extremely pleased and said to his son: "Starting tomorrow, you will go to Pingzhangtai every morning, and the monks will participate in national affairs together, so that they will become your masters."
The next morning, Liu Jing brought his son to Weiyang Palace. Weiyang Palace was not just a house, but in fact it was a complete group of buildings including the Chaotang Palace. Although the Weiyang Palace that was preserved and repaired was only one-third of the time it was in its heyday in the Western Han Dynasty, the entire palace was still magnificent and built at the highest point of Chang'an. Standing on the Gan terrace, you can enjoy a view of Chang'an City.
Weiyang Palace is divided into two parts. The south part is the Chaofang Hall, which is the Chaotang District that handles government affairs, and the north half is the emperor's harem. Although Liu Jing does not intend to live in Weiyang Palace for the time being, the Chaotang District in front has been put into use.
Pingzhang Platform is located on the left side of Xuanshi Hall. It is a small building complex covering an area of nearly 100 acres. In the middle is the Quying Pavilion with an area of three acres, which is as high as six feet and four feet. It is a four-story attic, which temporarily becomes the government affairs center of the Han Dynasty.
The carriage stopped in front of Zhuque Gate, and Liu Jing and his son took a chariot again and headed towards Pingzhang Platform. Seeing that his son was quite nervous, Liu Jing smiled and said, "I believe you will be very popular with the ministers."
Liu Zhi couldn't help but sigh. He was actually worried that his master would be unhappy. Liu Jing understood the child's thoughts and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Your master, Shizhong Yin has already agreed that he won't blame you."
The singer stopped in front of the Qunying Pavilion. At this time, a person walked out of the pavilion and looked at Liu Zhi with a smile. Liu Zhi was shocked. This person turned out to be his former master. He knelt down in a hurry, "Disciple, pay homage to the master!"
Liu Zhi's former master was named Lai Min, a new savage. His father Lai Yan was once the Sikong of the Han Dynasty. He came to Bashu very early and belonged to the Dongzhou scholar. He had excellent knowledge, but he was a bit unruly and unrestrained.
Although he was hated by Tao Zhan when he was drunk and prostitute, this was just a sub-section and would not affect his career. He is currently a lieutenant of the school, in charge of books and scriptures, and revising various scriptures. He heard that the prince was coming today, so he came to see him.
Lai Min quickly helped Liu Zhi up and said with a smile: "Now I am no longer your master."
Liu Zhi was very sensitive to Lai, and he said with tears in his eyes: "As a teacher for one day and a father for life, how can a disciple forget it?"
"The prince said it well!"
A group of people walked out of the heroic pavilion were Xu Shu, Jiang Wan, Dong He, Fei Guan, Sima Yi, and the minister Yin Mo. They heard that the King of Han had returned, so they went out to greet him.
Everyone bowed and bowed together, "See Your Highness the King of Han!"

In the Shizhong Room on the third floor of Qunying Pavilion, Shizhong Yin Mo smiled and poured Liu Zhi a bowl of hot tea. He also served as the young tutor and was Liu Zhi's nominal master. Liu Jing asked his son to come to Pingzhang Platform to learn how to handle government affairs, so naturally Yin Mo was the first to teach him.
Pingzhangtai agreed with Liu Jing's arrangement. Everyone knew very well that Liu Zhi would be the second monarch of the dynasty. He would be a key figure connecting the past and the future. It would determine the direction of the dynasty for the next hundred years. It was the unshirkable responsibility of the Shangshu to carefully cultivate him.
If we are selfish, they also hope that Liu Zhi could maintain their thoughts on governing the country, just like Xiao Gui and Cao Sui of the former Han Dynasty, so that their thoughts on governing the country could be inherited by later prime ministers.
It is precisely this idea of taking into account both public and private affairs that made Pingzhangtai actively welcome Liu Zhi's arrival. According to the consensus reached by everyone, Liu Zhi will follow one person every ten days for a period of one year.
Liu Zhi opened a scroll of bamboo slips and asked curiously: "What is the role of Shizhong in Pingzhang Platform?"
Yin Mo smiled slightly, "The Secretariat is actually the supervision of the decision-making of the Prime Minister to prevent the Prime Minister from abuse of power. A document was submitted, and first of all, I went to the Secretariat. Of course, it was not handled by me personally, but by my minister below. When the Secretariat cannot make the decision, I will handle it." "What should I deal with?"
"It is to classify documents and divide them into three categories according to their importance. Class A must be approved by your father before they can be executed. Class B is a slightly important official business. It is decided by the five-parties to discuss and decide. It can be executed first and then submitted to your father for review. Class C is a general official business. It can be executed after approval by the Secretary of State. There is no need to discuss and discuss with the five-parties, but"
Yin Mo paused for a moment. Seeing that Liu Zhi was so focused that he could not help but touch the back of his head lovingly, he continued to laugh: "But even if the prime ministers pass the decision, they cannot be implemented immediately. They still have to gather here again and the Shizhong will review it again. If the Shizhong feels that the decision is inappropriate, he will seal it back and discuss it again by the Chaoshu."
"What if the Prime Minister and the Shizhong disagree in the end?" Liu Zhi asked again.
"At this time, your father needs to make the final decision. Once he signs the letter, he must execute it. When things reach this point, if the prime minister or the minister still cannot accept it, then they will either resign or remain silent."
Yin Mo sighed a long time, and said with some emotion: "This is the best system for the ruler and ministers to balance the ruler. It can prevent one prime minister from dominating the ruler and avoid the dictatorship of the king. Since Emperor Wu of Han suppressed the prime minister with the Grand Sima, the power of the prime minister has been weakened. Emperor Guangwu even abolished the prime minister until Cao Cao restored the prime minister. However, his purpose was only to usurp the power for himself. Your father proposed a multi-court system, which avoided one prime minister and also created conditions for the balance of power of the ruler and ministers. From this point of view, this is your father's greatest contribution, and his profit is for the future. It can be said that it is second only to him to unify the world."
"I understand!" Liu Zhi nodded slightly.
At this time, an employee reported at the door: "Shizhong, the discussion begins immediately."
Yin Mo stood up and smiled at Liu Zhi and said, "Let's go! Today is the first time your father has discussed the matters after he came back. Let's go to participate together."
Yin Mo took Liu Zhi's hand and left the room, went downstairs all the way to the meeting hall on the second floor.
This is a circular hall of discussions, with five ministers sitting on the round half, while the Secretary of the Secretariat, the Secretariat, the Consultant Officer, the Censor, the Censor, the Censor, the Five Consort Officer, and the Secretariat Officer, etc., sit on the other half of the round one, and the Secretariat Yin Mo's seat is on the side of the five ministers. He can listen to the discussions on the Pingzhang Platform and have the right to express his own opinions.
Liu Jing's seat is located above, which is a permanent seat. Regardless of whether Liu Jing participates in the meeting or not, the seat is always placed there. However, most of the time, Liu Jing does not participate in the meeting on the meeting on the Pingzhang Platform, but he has already sat down today.
According to the procedures formulated by Liu Jing himself, the discussions on the Pingzhangtai are divided into two types: regular and special. The regular discussions are basically held every day. The king can attend the audience, but cannot speak and interfere.
The special deliberation is initiated by the king. The king can lead the deliberation, or the Shangshu he appointed can lead the deliberation. Today, it is a special deliberation, which Liu Jing took the initiative to hold.
Liu Zhi sat next to Yin Mo. He secretly looked up at his father. His father was about thirty steps away from him. His seat was high and the light was dark. His face could not be seen. Liu Zhi suddenly felt a sense of depression. His father looked down at the officials in a dark place like this. I believe that everyone felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart like him.
When Liu Jing saw his son, he smiled and shook the silver bell beside him. The ringtone rang crisply. At this time, Jiang Wan stood up and smiled and said, "Since you are all here, let's start!"
Liu Zhi read the book of the book and felt a little strange. He asked Yin Mo in a low voice: "May I ask Shizhong, isn't Shangshu Xu now holding the pen now?"
Yin Mo smiled, "Today is a special discussion, led by the Shangshu appointed by your father. It seems that your father appointed Shangshu Jiang, so today's discussion should be related to finance."
Liu Zhi nodded and looked up at the hall again. Jiang Wan was in charge of finance and taxation. He wrote a letter to Liu Jing a few days ago, asking for the cancellation of the minting. Yesterday, Liu Jing formally replied to him and asked for a special discussion on this matter today.
Jiang Wan said slowly: "Today's discussion is about abolishing the minting of money. Some time ago, I discussed this with the Secretary of the State Council. As we all know, after the minting of money was issued, it did not flow into the market and did not play a role in big coins. Instead, it was collected, causing a large amount of copper coins to circulate, forcing prices to rise. Therefore, I proposed to suspend the issuance of money, but His Highness the King of Han held a compromise and could suspend the issuance of money, but required that the minting continue, and the minting of money was used to reward military merits."
At this time, an engaged person walked quickly to Liu Zhi and whispered to him: "Young Master, your father asked you to go over."
Liu Zhi looked at Yin Mo, and Yin Mo smiled and said, "Go!"
Liu Zhi followed Yin Mo and walked quickly towards his father's seat. He walked to Liu Jing. Liu Zhi lowered his hands and said, "Father!"
"Sit down!" Liu Jing smiled and pulled his son to sit down. In fact, he had nothing to do. He just wanted his son to feel the seat of King Han.
Liu Zhi sat down next to his father and looked down at the many officials below. For some reason, he felt a little disliked the feeling of being condescending.
