Chapter 564 Abolishing the system of burial
Abolishing the system of burial with burial is not an easy task, and it requires support and recognition from the ministers. Xi Yu knew this well, so he decided to summon Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu to discuss the matter with them.
The next morning, Xi Yu summoned Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu in the room.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance of tea, and Xi Yu sat at the desk with a serious expression.
Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu walked in together. When they saw Xi Yu's face, a hint of uneasiness surged in their hearts.
"Meet the Prime Minister." Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu said in unison.
Xi Yu nodded and said, "Please sit down."
Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu sat down and waited for Xi Yu to speak.
"I summoned two of you today, and there is an important thing to discuss with you. Of course, this is a polite statement, but in fact it is to tell you something." Xi Yu said.
Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu looked at each other and felt Xi Yu's seriousness.
"Prime Minister, please speak." Zhuge Liang said.
Xi Yu took a deep breath and said, "I decided to abolish the system of burial for burial."
Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu were both surprised. They did not expect Xi Yu to come up with such an idea.
"Your Majesty, the system of burying for sacrifice is a rule left by our ancestors. How can we just say it is abolished?" Zhuge Liang said.
Xi Yu said: "I know the system of burial for a long time, but this system is too cruel and inhumane. I cannot let innocent lives die."
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, the system of burial for burial for burial for safeguarding the dignity and honor of the royal family, and also to appease the souls of the dead. If the system of burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for burial for
Xi Yu said: "I know that abolishing the system of burial will face great pressure and difficulties, but this is the right thing and I have to do it. Moreover, I believe many people will understand and support it."
Moreover, Xi Yu believes that it is also the rich who oppose it, and the poor will definitely agree in particular.
Afterwards, Xi Yu talked about the case Wenxuan mentioned.
Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu fell into deep thought. They knew that Xi Yu's decision was out of justice and conscience, but abolishing the system of burial was indeed a very difficult task.
"Prime Minister, this matter is very connected and needs careful consideration." Zhuge Liang said.
Xi Yu nodded and said, "I know. So I want to ask my two dear friends to help me come up with ideas, how to successfully abolish the system of burial with burial."
Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu looked at each other and nodded.
"Prime Minister, we can start with publicity and education to let everyone understand the cruelty and inhumanity of the system of burial burial. At the same time, we can also formulate some reward and punishment measures to encourage subjects to support the abolition of the system of burial burial burial burial ," said Zhuge Liang.
He thought to himself that he could not object to Xi Yu anyway, so he could only give Xi Yu an idea.
Xi Yu nodded and said, "This idea is good. We can start with publicity and education to let everyone understand the disadvantages of the burial system."
So, Xi Yu began to promote and educate the abolition of the system of burial burial.
He issued a series of announcements to publicize the cruelty and inhumanity of the system of burial dying.
At the same time, he also formulated some reward and punishment measures to encourage everyone to support the abolition of the system of burial.
In the tavern, there was a roar of people and smoke. A group of poor people sat around a table, talking about the recent announcement of abolishing the system of burial.
"Have you heard that? The Prime Minister issued an announcement to abolish the system of burial with burial!" said an old man in shabby clothes.
"Really? This is great! My daughter won't have to be taken to be buried with her anymore!" a young mother said excitedly.
"But those rich people will definitely not be happy, they will try their best to oppose it." A middle-aged man said worriedly.
"Yes, they will definitely feel that their interests have been violated." said another old man.
"No matter what they think, we poor people should support the Prime Minister's decision. The system of burial for burial is too cruel, and we can no longer let innocent lives be persecuted," said the young mother.
On the streets, there were crowds of people and traffic. A group of rich people gathered together and talked about the recent announcement of abolishing the system of burial.
"The Prime Minister wants to abolish the system of burial for burial!" said a rich man in gorgeous clothes.
"What? How can this work? The system of burial for burial is a rule left by our ancestors. How can we just say it is abolished?" said another rich man.
"Yes, in this way, will our interests be violated?"
"No, we have to find a way to object to this decision."
"Yes, we must unite with other rich people to oppose it!"
"But will this arouse the Prime Minister's disgust?"
"We want those poor to know that if the system of burial is abolished, it will probably cause chaos in the world." said the ninth rich man.
People in the tavern and on the streets were talking about the announcement of abolishing the system of burial.
The poor praised Xi Yu's decision, believing it was a just thing, while the rich were shocked and angry, and they believed that their interests had been violated.
Half an hour later, a group of rich people gathered at Xi Yu's doorstep.
They were wearing gorgeous clothes and anxious faces, and they knelt on the ground and petitioned Xi Yu.
"Prime Minister, please take back your life and do not abolish the system of burial for burial!" said a rich man.
"Yes, Prime Minister, the system of burial for burial is a rule left by our ancestors. We cannot be said to be abolished!" said another rich man.
"Prime Minister, abolishing the system of burial will cause chaos in the world!" said another rich man.
Soon, Xi Yu stood at the door, looking at the scene in front of him, feeling a lot of emotion.
He knew that abolishing the system of burial was a difficult reform and would encounter a lot of resistance and opposition. However, he also firmly believed that this reform was correct.
Xi Yu said: "I can understand your mood. The system of burial for burial is a rule left by our ancestors, but this rule is no longer suitable for today. We can no longer let innocent lives die for me."
The rich man said: "Prime Minister, you can't do this! This will make us lose a lot of benefits! Do you really want to do this?"
Xi Yu said: "That's right, I've made up my mind."
Just as Xi Yu was discussing with the ministers, Wenxuan galloped over on a horse.
She stopped in front of Xi Yu panting, and before she could dismount, she couldn't wait to ask: "Prime Minister, are you really planning to abolish the system of burial with burial?"
Xi Yu nodded with a smile and said to Wenxuan: "That's right, this is my decision after careful consideration."
Wenxuan jumped off his horse excitedly and ran to Xi Yu.
There was a glimmer of joy in her eyes and she said, "I knew you would definitely do this!"
Xi Yu looked at Wenxuan gently.
Wenxuan immediately turned around to face the rich man and scolded him: "You rich men are simply too greedy and selfish! You only care about your own interests and don't consider the poor at all!"
When Xi Yu saw Wenxuan's reaction, he felt relieved.
At this time, a lot of people had gathered on the streets.
Wenxuan told all the tragic situation he saw that day.
At this time, many poor people had quietly wiped their tears.
An old man cried loudly on the spot.
He said that his granddaughter was a maid in a wealthy family.
After the rich man dies, he also asks his granddaughter to be buried with him.
So if Xi Yu abolished this system at this time, what a good thing it would be.
Everyone will thank Xi Yu.
So many poor people firmly supported Xi Yu's plan.
Xi Yu saw a few rich people.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
The rich people felt very ashamed.
Wenxuan sneered.
"You are still here to petition, and you don't know how embarrassing it."
These rich people left in vain.
But many players burst into warm applause.
Xi Yu said: "Thank you for your support, formal legal provisions will soon appear."
If anyone is implementing the system of burial, he will be sentenced directly.
Slowly everyone parted. When Xi Yu was walking in, he felt a footstep coming from behind. He knew it was Wenxuan.
He turned his head and found that it was indeed Wenxuan.
Wenxuan gave him a thumbs up.
“What you did was simply amazing.”
"Okay, isn't it all because of your encouragement? Otherwise, I wouldn't have made up this decision. Is there anything else you have?"
"What's wrong? Wouldn't you welcome me when I come to your house?"
"Of course there is no such meaning."
Liu Xie was reading a book in the room, and suddenly heard the bustling outside, so he asked someone to see what was going on.
After a while, several servants came back.
He told him that it was Xi Yu who wanted to abolish the system of burial, which caused dissatisfaction among many rich people.
"What? The system of burial death should be abolished"?
Liu Xie's eyes were so big that he opened his mouth very big.
He felt that Xi Yu was too bold.
He then asked the soldiers to call Xi Yu, and he wanted to have a good talk with Xi Yu.
However, after a few soldiers walked a few steps, Liu Xie said, "Wait a minute, you guys come back."
A few soldiers will be back soon.
"You all retreat."
Only then did Liu Xie realize that he was no longer a formal emperor.
He handed over all the power to Xi Yu, so why did he intervene?
Xi Yu didn't come to tell him that it was actually right.
However, despite this self-comfort, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, he also opposed Xi Yu's abolishing the system of burying his burial.
Xi Yu immediately summoned Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu again.
"Based on this abolishing the system of burial, you can improve the law by the way."
Xi Yu believed that some laws of the Han Dynasty need to be changed and he would add some new elements himself.
He roughly explained a framework and finally let the two of them go and do it.
A few days later, the formal law was introduced.
The abolition of the legal system is also written in the law.
Not only in Youzhou, but also in the country.
The news soon reached Fangjun and Wuhuan.
Liu Bei and Meng Huo also began to execute immediately.
Before the abolition of the burial system for burial, several rich people were still trying to tell Liu Xie that they would oppose Xi Yu.
However, their ideas are very naive because they cannot meet Liu Xie.
And Liu Xie no longer cares about the world.
Next, Xi Yu began to check for auspicious days of zodiac signs.
It turned out that five days later it was a zodiac auspicious day.
This day is perfect for relocation.
So Xi Yu asked Liu Xie to move to the manor.
Xi Yu had already prepared many servants for Liu Xie.
Some of the little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have also arrived.
Most of them are still the original team, but they have changed their environment.
And Su Yu moved out.
He also has a small house in the county town, so he temporarily went there to live there.
After Liu Xie moved away, many people were talking about it.
"Your Majesty was moved to a place alone. Do you think this is a good or a bad thing"?
"How come I feel like the Prime Minister deliberately isolated His Majesty?"
"That's right, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."
"Hey, what do you say? It's not appropriate for Your Majesty to live in the Prime Minister's house all the time. You should go out and live alone."
"That's right, let's talk about it, Your Majesty has already said that the Prime Minister must be the master of all major matters."
At this moment, some patrol soldiers passed by the roadside and heard the discussions of these people.
"What are you talking about here? Are you not afraid of beheading?" said the soldier.
At this time, those who were talking were so scared that they hurriedly avoided.
Looking back, the patrol soldiers reported the matter to Xi Yu.
However, Xi Yu smiled.
Because it is normal for everyone to talk about this.
"If you encounter such a thing in the future, you don't have to stop them, just let them talk."
Several soldiers were dumbfounded, and they didn't expect that Xi Yu's temper was so good.
But they immediately understood that Xi Yu did not do anything uneasy, so he was not afraid of other people's comments.
Xi Yu thought it was a good thing for Liu Xie to live alone in one place, and it was actually very embarrassing that he always lived in his own home.
Suddenly, Xi Yu remembered Cao Pi, wondering if he would be particularly embarrassed in the military camp.
On this day, he decided to meet Cao Pi.
Cao Pi sat in the camp, his face pale and weak eyes. He held a wine glass in his hand and took a sip from time to time, as if he wanted to drink to relieve his sorrow.
Xi Yu walked into the tent and saw Cao Pi's appearance, and a hint of pity surged in his heart.
"Are you okay?" Xi Yu asked softly.
Cao Pi raised his head and looked at Xi Yu coldly, his lips raised, showing a disdainful smile.
"Hmph, what are you doing here? Are you watching my joke?" Cao Pi sneered.
Xi Yu sighed and said, "I'm not here to see you for a joke. I just want to talk to you."
Cao Pi put down his wine glass and said, "Talk? What do you want to talk about? What else can we talk about?"
Xi Yu said: "You should be very clear about the current situation. You have no way out."
Cao Pi said: "The way out? I have never thought about a way out. I will not surrender."
Xi Yu said: "Why are you so persistent? Now you are already a defeated soldier."
Cao Pi said, "Hmph, so what? Even if I lose this war, I will not surrender. I can die, but I will not surrender to you."
Xi Yu said: "Why are you doing this? Surrender is not a shameful thing."
Cao Pi said, "You don't have to say anything more. I have decided. I will not surrender or give up. You can kill me, but you can't conquer my heart."
Seeing Cao Pi so firm, Xi Yu couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
But he immediately set a date for Cao Pi.
"I will give you ten days. It would be best if you can surrender within ten days. If you still can't, I can only solve you."
After Xi Yu finished saying this, Cao Pi looked at him fiercely.
"Why have to wait ten days? You can get rid of me now. This will be the same in ten days."
But Xi Yu didn't say anything, but walked out.
Many soldiers started to talk.
"The Prime Minister is so kind. Why don't he kill Cao Pi?"
"That's right, it's a waste of food."
Cao Pi heard the discussion outside and remembered his past.
He felt deeply humiliated.
I didn't expect that I lost a lot overnight.
He was unwilling to give up, but what else could he do?
He also thought about dying, but he never had the courage.
But he also wondered, Xi Yu asked him to surrender, let alone he was unwilling, even if he was willing, could Xi Yu feel at ease?
Xi Yu should understand that he doesn't have the same heart as him.
So in this case, why must he win over himself?
Forget it, don't think too much, he should write poems quickly.
He didn't notice that a poem he had written had been gone by Xi Yu.
Just now, Xi Yu saw a good poem, so he quickly put the paper up.
While Xi Yu was walking on the road, he read Cao Pi's poems.
Cao Pi described his feelings after becoming a prisoner.
"I am really worthy of being one of the seven sons of Jian'an. The poems I wrote are indeed good."
Although Xi Yu had never read this poem, he gave a high evaluation.
If you let yourself write, you won’t be able to write it out.
An hour later, Cao Pi prepared to organize the poems he wrote today.
He suddenly discovered that a poem was missing.
What's going on?
And no one else came, he suddenly remembered Xi Yu.
Could it be that Xi Yu took it away?
He carefully recalled the details.
When Xi Yu left, it seemed that paper fell on his feet.
Yes, it must be like this.
Cao Pi was very angry and clenched his fists.
This is all his hard work, and he doesn't want his voice to be seen by Xi Yu.
After returning home, Xi Yu was still reading the poem and enjoyed it very much.
Suddenly, Ouyang Linlin appeared at the door.
Ouyang Linlin passed by here and saw Xi Yu being stunned, so she walked in.
"Husband, why are you watching so enchanting?"
"This is a poem by Cao Pi, how do you see it?"
Ouyang Linlin took it.
After all, she has been acquainted with words since she was a child and has a certain level of appreciation.
She also kept sighing.
"This poem is really good. I wrote down all my depression."
Finally, she watched Xi Yu.
"He is your enemy, would you like him so much?"
"Of course, this is also an opponent in my heart."
"Did you go and persuade Xiang again? He will definitely not surrender, right?"
Xi Yu nodded.
