Chapter 76 The wine banquet in Fuli Palace

After leaving Linjin, I passed by Gaoling, Jingyang, Chiyang, Wugong, Xinping, Hanxing, and crossed the river to Dong Zhuo's Meiwu for a long time. I really sighed, and then went to Xianyang and returned to Chang'an in mid-April.

I have gained a lot along the way. Not only am I familiar with mountains, rivers, geography and cultural anecdotes, but I also have separate conversations with almost all the important officials in the border areas, and have truly gained a sentimental understanding of the situation of our army. During this period, I received more than 200 suggestions, took off the hats of seven subordinates, visited more than a dozen talents, and recommended them to local officials.

In Guanzhong, almost every place corresponds to the examples in history books. It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. The tour along the way has enriched my experience. It seems that countless knowledge surges every day, allowing me to grow and grow again.

And along the way, I suddenly realized something. Since ancient times, the prince has been unable to interfere in politics, and traveling and making friends with ministers is a very cautious thing for the emperor. Taking Cao Pi as an example, he only started his tour after becoming the King of Wei. Why did his father let me go on a trip in advance?

However, the reform of the government affairs in the court is such a major event that can easily cause conflicts and resentment, but the father and the prime minister have worked together to let me escape the vortex in the court outside. What did they think?

If what I guess is true, then is my father paving the way for me? When I think of this, my heart is really excited and moved. If my father really did this for me, then what I did in the past is really too disappointing to my father.

With this feeling, I returned to Chang'an. Without rest, I went directly to the palace to report to my father.

As soon as I arrived in front of the palace, I heard that my father was angry at the great scholar Qin Mi: "Corrupt scholar, you can't die! How can you know this big thing in the world!"

Qin Mi said: "Your Majesty, everyone in the world can talk about the affairs of the world. Your Majesty does not accept loyal words and acts alone. What is the difference between you and the king of Jie and Zhou?"

I was shocked. In another world, even if my father attacked Shu, Qin Mi did not make such a big rebellious statement. What is the matter now? He is looking for death?

Sure enough, the father was furious, roared like thunder, and shouted: "Come, drag Qin Mi out..."

Kong Ming had already stood up, and he stopped his father and turned to Qin Mi: "Don't be bold, don't be arrogant. If you roar like this, how can there be a court etiquette?" As he said that, he turned to Liu Bei again: "Your Majesty, Qin Mi does not obey the court etiquette, you can hand it over to the minister." When the palace slander was gently exposed by him, he only said that it was a failure of the court etiquette, so he was naturally protecting Qin Mi. I breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Qin Mi's life was saved.

Sure enough, the father stared at Kong Ming panting and finally nodded. He was always willing to listen to Kong Ming's words.

At one moment, the servants issued an edict and ordered me to go to the palace. I went forward and salute: "Father, my son is back."

The father looked at me, smiled slightly, and said, "Good come back, come back, go back to the East Palace to rest and wash up. Now I am a little tired. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in Fuli Palace, and our father and son will reunite, and call your third uncle and the prime minister. Kong Ming, don't say that you are busy with official business, you must go." Kong Ming said yes.

The father went to the harem without looking back.

Kong Ming sighed: "Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, and he is prone to anxious and angry. He cannot go to the palace for more than three hours a day, otherwise he will be unable to support him."

I looked at my father's back as he walked away and remained silent for a long time.

Kong Ming said: "Your Highness, you have to bear more of Ji Han's burden."

Kong Ming is a person who speaks and does things very stably. He will not say such words for no reason, and I can't help but feel sank in my heart.

Fuli Palace was built by Emperor Wu. He collected strange stones and grass from Nanyue, and planted more than 100 books of push, ten books of mountain ginger, twelve books of sweet banana, ten books of childbirth, hundreds of cinnamon, hundreds of honey, hundreds of henna, longan, lychee, betel nut, thousand-year-old son, and sweet orange. But now there are not many of these strange flowers and trees left behind.

In Chang'an, people are not allowed to go out at night. Since they are mostly illuminated with pine and bright torches, fires are very likely to occur, so they are not allowed to raise fires at night and do not work at night. The city gate is closed and a curfew is imposed, so they are not allowed to travel. Emperor Guangwu went hunting when he came back late, so the city gate officials refused to let Liu Xiu enter the city. As a result, Liu Xiu had to stay outside the city all night. However, with the will of his father tonight, I naturally have no way to pass.

When I came out of the Eastern Palace, the sun set shortly after it was set and the dusk was not thick. The road was sprayed with a thirsty bird (a water sprinkler on the road in the Han Dynasty). It was wet, and the air was filled with the smell of soil. When I walked for a while, I met Kong Ming's Suinian. I immediately went to see him and asked Kong Ming: "Sir, why did my father get angry with Qin Mi during the day?"

Kong Ming said: "Qin Mi accused His Majesty of competing with the people for profit."

So that's it, I'm relieved. In fact, this kind of debate has existed for a long time. Ji Han is not strong. In order to survive, he must raise troops, taxes must be increased, and financial sources must be provided. In order to increase income, Ji Han has all the industries such as salt, iron, and silk. However, due to the decline of people's livelihood, countless ministers hope to recuperate and make peace for the people and oppose the current policies. Qin Mi is just a rafter to stand out. In fact, even Mr. Kong Ming's good subordinate Jiang Wan and others think so in their hearts. But in the current situation, can it be done without taxes? Cao Wei and Eastern Wu are watching Dandan, and war will begin at any time. If you want to give in, how should you give in? If it's just for this, it would not be a mistake for his father to kill Qin Mi.

Walking on the quiet Chang'an street market, the sound of horse hooves echoed crisply in the deep night. This sleeping city is so peaceful. I looked at the bright starry sky and took a long breath of the fresh night wind. At this moment, it is so beautiful that you will never want to remember what "war" is. But can war not happen if you forget it?

"Sir, I want to..."

"Your Highness, please say."

"I think we have to find a way to stop Cao's army's attack, make them civil strife, and prevent them from sending troops."

Kong Ming was stunned, Su Nian shook, and he shook: "How can Cao Wei not send troops? You know, we have conquered Chang'an, and after passing Tongguan, it is Luoyang. How can we allow others to sleep peacefully?"

Yes, how can we prevent Cao Wei from sending troops and let them have civil strife? If our army had the current strength when Cao Cao died last year, it would be hard to say that Cao Wei could be divided into pieces. Now, the disaster of Cao Pi Xiao Wall has been settled, and external troubles have been settled. If he wants to be in chaos again, it would be very rare."

"Crown Prince, Prime Minister, here," said the attendant.

"Have the General of the Car Cavalry arrived?" I asked.

"not yet."

I accompanied Kong Ming into the garden, and from a distance I saw the lights brightly, shining like daytime. My father, I was holding the table and actually started drinking alone, humming something in his mouth. When I listened intently, it was the song of Emperor Gaozu whom I knew since childhood.

"The wind blows and the clouds fly, and the power is spreading to the country and returning to my hometown. How can I get a strong man to guard all directions!" At this time, my father had achieved great hegemony, but he was still much worse than Emperor Gaozu. Even Emperor Gaozu gained talents from all over the world, he still lamented that no one was available, let alone his father.

As I listened, the music turned, but it turned into another song: "The autumn wind rose and the white clouds flew, the grass and trees fell and the geese returned south. The orchids were beautiful and the chrysanthemums were fragrant, and I couldn't forget the beauty. The boats were flying over the Fen River, flowing across the mountain and raising the plain waves, the flutes and drums sang and the boats were singing, the joy and sorrow were so many, when was the young and strong, and how long did I get old!"

This song is "The Essay of Autumn Wind" by Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, who was once powerful. When Emperor Wu visited Hedong to worship the earth god, flowing across the Fen River, he feasted with his ministers in the boat, looking back at Chang'an, his eyes touched his heart, and wrote this song improvised. This song is a song lamenting the late age of heroes, and he imitated it with his fragrant flowers and grasses, which reveals the contradiction between human life and the irresistible natural laws, and expresses his attachment to youth and beautiful career. The whole article naturally integrates generosity, dignity, and sorrow, and sadness. Although the words are a little gorgeous, they are not weak. It is really a rare masterpiece in the emperor's poems. At this moment, in the garden left by Emperor Wu, what is the meaning of his father singing this song?

I savored my head, Kong Ming stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." I hurriedly bowed and shouted, "Father."

My father turned his head and said, "How long have you been there? I didn't feel it. It seems that I am really old. Come and sit next to me." He said that, and signaled me to help Kong Ming sit down.

Kong Ming bowed again: "I thank you for your sitting." He knelt down.

My father looked at Kong Ming as if he was in court and was slightly annoyed: "Kong Ming, today is a family dinner. I only discuss personal affairs, not official affairs, and there is nothing more than His Majesty. Don't put on the prime minister's arrogance?"

Kong Ming shook his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I can't follow my orders in this matter. Since ancient times, there have been differences between the king and the ministers, and the upper and lower levels, and if the actions are not appropriate, how can I guide the court officials?"

"Okay, okay." My father hurriedly interrupted Kong Ming's words and shook his head, "Stop talking, stop talking, I understand. Kongming, you are good everywhere, but sometimes you are too rigid. Don't do this today? To be honest, I don't like you, whether you call me Your Majesty or King, and I feel disgusted. It turns out that you were kind when you called my lord. You can't compare to Xianhe. He has become accustomed to him, and he is still so unruly. In front of me, he has never been so kind.

He was no longer like a minister, laughing all day long. Do you remember how he made a metaphor when I banned alcohol? "The father blinked in anger and laughed. In order to save food, his father did not allow the people to make wine, and even stipulated that the winemaking equipment be found, so he had to be punished. Jian Yong privately pointed at the men and women on the street and said, "Why don't they arrest them for being miserable?" The father asked him strangely how he knew. He said that they brought the equipment to act.

Kong Ming thought about it and laughed: "Jane Xianhe is a simple and meticulous person on the outside and meticulous inside, and is a rare talent."

"Oh, in the blink of an eye, Xianhe has been there for more than two years. Yun Chang (Guan Yu), Xianhe (Jian Yong), Gongyou (Sun Ya), Zi Zhong (Mi Zhu), Xiaozhi (Fa Zheng), Han Sheng (Huang Zhong), Huo Jun... In just a few years, the old brothers have gone one by one, and now Xu Jing is also sick. I am so tired these days that I am almost overwhelmed, but there is not even a person who says the truth. Is it so easy to be this Your Majesty?

Qin Mi actually said to me in person that I am the king of Jie and Zhou? Kong Ming, do you know me, and by the heart, are I? I am old, but I am not so confused that I am not arguing right and wrong. For the sake of the people, I can take off my clothes and clothes and recommend food and food. When you left Xinye, you saw hundreds of thousands of people crossing the river with me. But today, I have such a reputation! Alas, I really want to throw this broken hat to A Dou earlier and enjoy a few years of happiness."

I quickly lifted my robe and knelt down: "Why should my father be so angry with a scholar? Ji Han is like a newborn baby, with everything waiting to be done and all industries waiting to be developed. Just as my father is about to show his talents, rule over heroes, and stabilize the world. Besides, my father is prosperous in spring and autumn, how can he retreat? My sons dare not hear this."

My father patted my head with his hand and said with a smile: "Get up. I have prepared this banquet for a long time. I am in a very good mood. It is to make Qin Mi angry with me. This is the first time I said this in front of you, but in front of Kong Ming, I have said it for countless times for my father. OK, you don't have to be so scared, get up and talk. Alas, talking to your son is so tiring and boring."

I stood up, not knowing whether his words were true or false, and I didn't dare to peek at the faces of Kong Ming and his father, but just stepped aside. Suddenly, I heard a scream outside the garden gate: "Brother!" It was Zhang Fei who rushed in.

When I saw Zhang Fei, my father's face smiled and said, "Third brother, it's your kiss! It sounds like two doors are opened in my heart! Come on, sit next to my brother!"

Zhang Fei walked to me, his eyes flashed, and his big hand slapped my shoulder: "Why do you think you have lost weight again!"

I was grinned and smiled without saying a word.

The father patted Zhang Fei's hand, laughed and asked him to sit down, and ordered the banquet to start.

My father said during the meal: "I have been established in the Han Dynasty for 427 years. During this period, the twelve emperors of the Western Han Dynasty and the twelve emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the longest sacred life, and those who can survive beyond 60 years old are only Gaozu (Liu Bang), Xiaowu (Liu Che), and Shizu (Liu Xiu). In addition, seven people who lived after 40, four people in thirty years old, and as many as ten people under thirty years old, no one can reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. Although I was born in heaven, I can see that it is difficult for me to be an emperor. Thinking of me, Liu Bei, although I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty, I was lonely since I was a child and in troubled times, and I fought with my second and third brothers in the north and south, and had no place to stand. When I got Kongming, I would like to get a fish in water, gathered wise men, governed thousands of troops, borrowed Jingzhou, seized the two rivers, swept away Yongliang, and established the capital of Chang'an. There is today's Jihan. I wish Kongming this first glass of wine."

Kong Ming was the leader of all officials, with great talent and great talent. He ruled the country with law. He was very particular about everything, and was not biased or protected. When rewarded, even enemies would be rewarded according to them. When punished, even relatives would be punished according to them, and as prestige was always high. People among the people often regarded him as gods. Although Li Yan and several others did not accept him, the three of them understood Kong Ming's importance at the banquet today.

Kong Ming hurriedly knelt up and said, "Your Majesty's words are worthy of killing Liang. Your Majesty is generous and generous, knows people and treats people, has the style of Emperor Gaozu and a heroic weapon. Therefore, heroes in the world are willing to serve Your Majesty, and they will never refuse even if they die. Liang is a commoner, and he is treated with the virtues of Your Majesty three times. How dare he not do anything for the sake of a dog or a horse?"

His father stopped Kong Ming with just one sentence: "Kong Ming, you can afford this evaluation, you can afford it!" He raised the cup in his hand.
