The matter of settlement and resettlement was discussed for three whole days.

But three days later, when Liu Che walked back to Chang'an to attend the Shuowang court meeting in June, he already had a thick pile of specific regulations and implementation details in his hands.

Of course, these things were not discussed in the past three days.

In fact, the policy of reclamation and immigration and related implementation details have gone through more than ten rounds of fighting and debate in the court.

However, Liu Che's think tank, the ministers of Lantai, had been working hard to formulate relevant laws and detailed rules for settlement and immigration as early as last year.

In the past six months alone, in order to delineate the settlement area and examine the local geography, Lantai has sent more than 300 inspection groups and 15 customs collection groups to Liaodong County, Xinhua and North Korea.

The explanatory text brought back exceeds 100,000 words about the local geography, landforms, rivers and lakes, and more than 1,000 maps were surveyed and mapped.

This enabled Liu Che and the ministers of the imperial court to clearly understand the local geographical environment and climate of Liaodong, Xinhua and North Korea through these texts and maps, which provided first-hand reference materials for policy formulation.

In the past three days, the main work of the Lantai ministers was actually to sort out the relevant matters discussed in the court in the past and the opinions of all parties.

Then, Liu Che personally reviewed it and set the tone.

The main purpose of returning to Chang'an this time to preside over the Shuowang Court Meeting is to make a verdict for the various forces in the government and the opposition who have been at odds with each other for more than half a year.

This is also the emperor's job.

The ministers discussed the issue and the emperor made the final decision and gave the final result.

Of course, this process still needs to fully demonstrate the people's cooking, and make the emperor seem to particularly respect and value the opinions of the sages in the court and the scholar-bureaucrats in the outside world.

Just like when Liu Che's father cut down the feudal clan, even the princes and kings could fully express their opinions and suggestions on this matter...

However, the result is destined.

The emperor's will decides everything.

After returning to Chang'an, Liu Che moved into the Greenhouse Palace. Then he immediately ordered people to summon the Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and the imperial censor Chao Cuo.

The three of them discussed behind closed doors for a whole afternoon, and it was not until sunset that the closed-door meeting ended.

After the meeting, when Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo returned to their respective homes, they were immediately greeted by a large number of representatives from all walks of life who were looking for information.

Especially Zhou Yafu's house was the most lively.

At least a dozen princes and seven or eight generals came to visit him in person.

These people stayed at Zhou Yafu's house until the scheduled time (after nine o'clock in the evening) before they dispersed.

The next day, when the rooster crowed, Liu Che had just woken up, and the report from the Xiuyi Guard had been delivered to him.

He casually looked through Xiuyiwei's records of what happened last night, but Liu Che didn't pay much attention.

The Emperor Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty once said that there is no party within the party, only imperial ideas. There are no factions within the party. There are all kinds of strange things.

Within any political entity, cliques and cliques are inevitable.

Especially for people with the two positions of prime minister and imperial censor, if they could not gather a group of supporters to rally around them, they would have been ignored long ago, and it would be impossible to achieve anything.

Liu Che was very tolerant of Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo's separate cliques. He just let people plant a few nails in their small group. Keep an eye on them at all times. As long as they didn't conspire against him, Liu Che didn't bother to care.

Of course, just in case we end up falling out with these two guys later on.

Today, the things Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo secretly discussed with others at night can become evidence of crime...

Well, rulers are so shameless.

After breakfast, Liu Che, served by Yi Nu, put on his crown, then looked at his two sleeping children, kissed the two pink little guys on the cheeks, and then went to Chengming Hall.

, prepare to host the court meeting.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, Chengming Hall was the venue for political activities second only to Xuanshi Hall.

The word "Chengming" is enough to explain its status in the Weiyang Palace complex.

Liu Xiang, a scholar in the late Western Han Dynasty, once commented on the significance of Chengming Hall in his book "Shuo Yuan": The place where Lord Shouwen slept was called the left and right road. What is called Chengming? It is said to be the one behind Chenghu Mingtang.

Therefore, it can be seen from this that Chengming Hall was actually the emperor's main sleeping chamber.

However, at this time, the three-bed system passed down from the Zhou Dynasty had actually existed in name only.

Gao Ning became the name referring to Liu Bang's ancestral temple and mausoleum in the Han Dynasty.

The emperors of all dynasties did not like to live in the road bed because of its high quality. Instead, it was originally a small bed room where concubines lived, but it became the place where the emperor often lived.

Therefore, gradually, Chengming Hall became the place where the emperor of the Han Dynasty held the most meetings and court meetings, except the Xuanshi Hall.

Xin Qiji, a later generation, once wrote in his poems: In the middle of the night, he wanted to acknowledge the Ming Dynasty and stayed in school to study, but he was sent to the side. This expressed his dissatisfaction with the small political power of the Southern Song Dynasty for its lack of progress.

But in fact, as the emperor's sleeping quarters, Chengming Hall was very comfortable and spacious. It was even as large as Xuanshi Hall. The main hall could accommodate more than 500 people for discussion.

This is normal. After all, the word "lu" in the Zhou Dynasty meant "big" and "wide".

In many ancient texts, the words "road", "big" and "wide" can all be used to communicate with each other.

However, Chengming Hall was opened for the first time after Liu Che ascended the throne as the venue for Shuowang Dynasty. Therefore, the eunuchs and servants in the palace had to start preparations four or five days in advance. The last time Chengming Hall was opened, it was in

It has been nine years since the first year of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's reign.

At that time, it was in the Chengming Palace that Liu Che's grandfather promulgated the historically famous "Edict to Assist the Common People".

Many people may not be familiar with this edict.

But it doesn't matter, you just need to know that in the history of the Han Dynasty, this "Edict to Assist the Common People" was combined with the "Edict to Order Two Thousand Stones to Repair the Job" and Xiaozhu's "Edict to Seek Mao Cai Yiyi" issued by Liu Che in history.

Three Imperial Edicts of the Han Dynasty.

These three edicts had a historical status in the Western Han Dynasty, just like the Taizu Thought, Taizu Theory, and Shizong Representative of the Celestial Dynasty, constituting the basic guiding theoretical thoughts of the Western Han Dynasty politics.

It's just a pity that the thoughts of Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty are the same. After Zhaoxuan, the "Edict to Assist the Common People" has almost become an empty theory and slogan. It is only used as a front when the emperor pays homage to his ancestors every year. Even most bureaucrats will do it.

Possible avoidance of making this edict known.

Of course Liu Che would not allow such a thing to continue to happen.

Therefore, when Chengming Hall was decided to be the meeting place for the New Moon Dynasty this month, Liu Che immediately ordered the Shaofu to inscribe Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's "Edict to Assist the Common People" on both sides of the steps in front of Chengming Hall.

full text.

The content of this edict is not long, with a total of 119 words in total.

Like most of Liu Che's grandfather's edicts, this edict is carefully worded, fluent, and easy to understand. What's even more rare is that not a single word in the entire text is empty or redundant, let alone false.

Pointing directly at the maladministration of the bureaucracy and the hardship of the people's lives, he emphasized that the bureaucrats must keep the people fed, and those who cannot do so can get out.

Liu Che stepped on the steps, holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand. Under the illumination of the blazing fire disks on both sides of the steps, he read the full text of the edict inscribed on both sides of the steps.

"True emperor, this is what it is!" Liu Che looked at it and sighed in a low voice: "I should also start to issue a similar programmatic edict to establish national policies and basic guiding ideology!"

"This year is the ninth anniversary of the promulgation of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's "Edict on Assisting the Common People". Nine is the extreme number. It ordered more than 400 stones in the counties and counties of the world. Review Taizong's holy precepts, each wrote his own opinion, and reported to the county road.

, the county newspaper and the county, the county and the country have two thousand stones, and they are presented to the prime minister, and the prime minister directly plays them in front of me, saying that he has something to say, especially those who are special, I will personally see it!" After sighing, Liu Che said to those who were accompanying him.

Ji An ordered him to record the edict and announce it to the world.

Such actions were commonplace in later generations. In which year did the Celestial Empire not organize a seminar to study the various theories of Taizu, Taizong, Sejong, and Zhongzong?

But now, it is the first time that the power of the country and the prestige of the emperor are used to call on officials from all over the world to learn and implement an ideological theory.

Liu Che didn't know what the effect would be.

But at least it should be better than doing nothing!

Maybe you can even discover some talents among them!

After thinking about it, Liu Che felt that since this matter had been done, he might as well do it.

So, he told Ji An again: "After a while, after the court meeting begins, you will lead my personal attendants and fifty-five ministers to sing Taizong's "Edict on Assisting the People", so that all officials and scholar-bureaucrats in the world will know that I am

meaning!"

"No!" Ji An nodded in understanding.

So, when the ministers who participated in the Shuo Wang Dynasty gathered in front of Chengming Hall, they were all shocked.

The words engraved on both sides of the steps in front of the temple are familiar to many people. Some people even shed tears of excitement when looking at these words.

Especially people like Te Jin, Zhou Yafu and others.

To them, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen died five years ago.

But the emperor seemed to have never left them, always motivating and spurring them to work hard for the strength and prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the Prime Minister was so happy to greet Shen Tujia that he almost started sobbing.

However, there are also many people who feel that these words are too glaring.

In fact, this edict has severely revealed something that many bureaucrats are unwilling to mention or face: the world is going well, the court has repeatedly reduced people's burdens and tax rates, and the emperor is reluctant to even build a pavilion. Why would he still do it?

Are people hungry? Why are farmers going bankrupt? Why do things like this happen everywhere in the world?

Is it because the Emperor is not frugal enough? Or is there someone causing trouble?

Obviously, many people know, what is the answer to this question?

Exorbitant taxes, apportionment and exploitation, as well as the wanton annexation of land by big landlords and big bureaucrats, and the forced buying and selling of land.

Nine years ago, after Emperor Taizong issued this edict, many people had to restrain their actions and actions.
