The emperor would not say whether the emperor believed or not, but only ordered Liu An.
"Okay, you continue to say, why do you need to do these things? Then what is the second strategy?"
"I feel like the New Year is coming, maybe in the early or mid-year of the first lunar month, there may be an earthquake in Bianliang, so it is not so urgent. But if you don't get a disaster, you must mobilize troops to save the disaster. Since ancient times, soldiers are like bandits. I am afraid that the people will feel that it is more terrible than being affected by the disaster when they hear it, so you have to do something first."
The emperor sat down again: "You keep going."
"Next, my uncle can issue a document to the world, announcing that the Song Dynasty will not be the New Year this year. There are three reasons. One is Qu Yue, originally a country with the Central Plains, and the traitors called themselves the emperor, and the heaven and earth cannot tolerate it. In order to fear that the heaven will suffer great disasters, there will be no banquet this year. My uncle apologized to God and sent troops south to wipe out Qu Yue."
The emperor nodded and did not respond. He knew that Liu An was not so crazy that he was looking for excuses to beat Qu Yue.
Liu An continued: "The second reason is that Song and Liao were originally a country of brothers. The Khitans lived in the Song Dynasty, and the Hans lived in the Liao Dynasty. However, the brothers fought fiercely for twenty-five years, and now they fought in Youzhou again. The Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians were killed and injured 100,000 people, and Liao people also died and injured. My uncle couldn't bear it. This year, it was only a year, and the Song and Liao soldiers and civilians were killed and injured on behalf of the people, praying for blessings to heaven and earth."
"This is interesting. Stop it beforehand, it can't be that simple. This matter must be done very much." The emperor became interested.
How could the emperor not do such a great excuse to sacrifice to heaven and earth?
Liu An continued: "The third reason is that my uncle personally checked the annual reports of various prefectures this year. He heard that there are still many suffering places in the world, including no clothes, no food, and no charcoal in winter. How do you say this..."
Liu An was about to compile the article, and the emperor immediately continued: "I am heartbroken. The coldness of the people is my cold, and the hunger of the people is my hunger..."
Damn!!!
Liu Anxin said it was too awesome and there was no need for drafts. An article with nearly a thousand words in an instant blurted out from the emperor.
Wang Zeng, the top scorer, probably is not as good as this.
The emperor felt a little unsatisfied after he finished speaking, so he immediately got up and walked towards the desk, thought for a while, and a refined article was released.
Liu An then threw out today's killer move: "Uncle, I think the place where the sacrifices to heaven and earth should be placed in Songshan. Don't be too troublesome. We should be frugal with the cultivation of the martial arts queen before. And I guess we have to sacrifice three times. During the last sacrifice, we will be punished by the world to exempt the agricultural tax."
"Is that OK?" the emperor asked in a tentative tone.
Songshan is not an ordinary place. Although it is not Fengshan, its meaning is different from that of ordinary sacrifices to heaven and earth.
The emperor was expecting at this time, just like Zhao You's eyes waiting for the cake stove to open.
Liu An nodded: "A smaller scale and smaller momentum, all sacrificial documents must be reviewed by the Three Celebrities and Six Secretaries. The last sacrificial sacrifice is on February 2nd. On the day of farming in the world, my uncle personally ploughed the fields at the foot of Songshan Mountain, and then walked up the mountain to worship the world and announced the exemption of agricultural tax. This is the opinion of the Three Celebrities."
The emperor almost burst into tears.
Since Liu An mentioned that he could be a Fengshan period, he has been looking forward to this matter.
Now, not only seeing hope, but also making a preview of Fengshan. How did this incident not make him excited?
Liu An said again: "I think I have to discuss this matter again. In the early morning farming, and then walk to the top of the mountain barefoot. I feel it's too hard, so..."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." The emperor was anxious and thought to himself, Liu An, don't cause trouble. The three generals are allowed to sacrifice to heaven and earth in Songshan. This is already a big concession. It is a bit harder to be afraid of, even if they are tired and weak.
If Liu An gets into trouble again and the three ministers disagree, who will the emperor cry?
Liu An asked again: "Uncle, what am I talking about?"
"You go and arrange it, this year will be the New Year." The emperor's head was already filled with Fengshan. At this time, countless brain cells in his brain were only repeating one word, Fengshan!
The rest were simply unable to squeeze into the emperor's head.
"My nephew took his leave." Liu An still looked serious and bowed.
As for the secret joy!
It is impossible to reveal it in front of the emperor.
Liu An has also read a lot of classic jokes about this emperor who is desperate for face and suffering. They are a bit cute, right?
Forget it, it’s more important to do the important thing.
Liu An walked to the emperor's study with a small square step. The palace was too small. Kou Zhun and others wanted a quiet and safe meeting place, but they really couldn't find it.
So, emperor, don’t use the study room, and temporarily lend it to these important officials.
Liu An walked in with a small square foot, gently shook his clothes, and was about to say a few long-faced words, but before Liu An could speak, Kou Zhun said, "Liu An, please listen to me. The position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council is the advice of the official, but I do not accept this suggestion, and you are still the chief supervisor of the Secretariat. However, if you are a second term, you will be given a salary of about 1,000 yuan a year, you must be content."
Just now, these important officials were still discussing how to tell Liu An about the position of Deputy Envoy Liu An if he did not give him the position of Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor.
How can it be more tactful?
Then he told the emperor how to tell him that he didn't mind.
Kou Zhun is so direct.
But this is not over: "Liu An, go and tell the officials yourself that you don't want to be this official, so why do you say whatever you want?"
"this……"
Liu An wanted the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, not to care about this official position, but to have the power to give a legitimate order to transfer troops.
The military power of the Song Dynasty was not in the Ministry of War. Liu An, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, sounded very high, but he had no military power, only the right to manage the household registration of soldiers, and the small matter of reporting military pay, and the approval of money was still the matter of the Three Finance Departments.
military power.
Wang Dan said that he had to be kicked by a donkey hundreds of times before he could promise Liu An a legitimate military power.
Not giving it to you absolutely.
"Mr. Kou, should you discuss this matter again?" Liu An still wanted it.
Kou Zhun shook his head: "If you want to issue a document, I can lend you my seal, but if you want to have a seal of your own, forget it."
Kou Zhun thought clearly that even if he posted it in his own name, he would at least know what he sent it.
Liu An had another piece of seal on his hand.
Very, very, very dangerous.
When Liu An saw that there was no one talking to him in the room, it was obvious that they had already discussed this matter. What else could he do? Let's admit it! "Okay."
Liu An sat down: "Mr. Kou, don't ask me, what the result is when I go to see the official family?"
"Hmph, haha." Kou Zhun laughed very hard.
Lu Mengzheng asked: "I really want to do it. I thought about it. Twenty thousand yuan is the money that the Ministry of Revenue can take out now. If it is more, it will cost the people and get money."
“How much does it cost to go big?”
Zhang Qixian, Minister of Rites, said: "At least 50,000 stalks."
