Han Rong and Liu Xi have not seen each other for many years. When they heard that Liu Xi was in the city, they couldn't help but go to find Liu Xi immediately.
Zhou Zhong also knew Liu Xi, but his relationship was not that close. In addition, he was in business, so he did not accompany Han Rong. He just asked Han Rong to say hello and make an appointment before visiting him.
The three of them walked along the street and spoke.
Speaking of the changes brought about by the Emperor in Quanling for a year, Gao Rou talked endlessly and felt deeply moved.
He was also very busy this year, preparing to build a law school and train officials for various counties. He was still sorting out previous laws and regulations, and there was almost no time to rest. But he was busy and did not feel tired at all, but instead he felt that he had been abandoned before.
There is too much time, so now we should work harder to make up for the time.
He spoke sincerely, not realizing that Zhou Zhong was at all, and Zhong Yao's eyes were a little strange.
Gao Rou is only in her early thirties, and she looks like she is over fifty years old. How can these two people who are really over fifty years old be able to bear the favor?
While speaking, he came to the courtyard where the emperor was walking, Gao Rou bowed and said, "The emperor must have a lot to say when he sees the second emperor, so I won't disturb you. When the two of you have met the emperor, I will hold a banquet.
Entertain the two."
Zhou Zhong waved his hand. "You go and do it. When I have time, I will naturally go to find you."
Zhong Yao also bowed and thanked him.
Gao Rou turned around and left. Zhou Zhong looked at his background, his heart was swelling. "Yuan Chang, I really envy them. It's great to be young, turn around quickly, and have plenty of time. Unlike us, we have heavy habits and physical strength.
It’s not as good as before, and it’s hard to change.”
[By the way, the most useful app for reading and listening to books is currently the most useful app, changing the source app, and installing the latest version.]
Before he finished speaking, a loud voice came from behind him. "Is it Sikong Zhou Gong?"
Zhou Zhong turned around and saw a young man strode towards him, long and short on the top, blue eyes, and a few soft beards with slightly purple under his jaw. It was Sun Jian's second son, Sun Ce's younger brother, and Sun Ce's younger brother, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Zhongmou, long time no see?"
Sun Quan stepped forward to salute, greeted Zhong Yao again, and then led Zhou Zhong and Zhong Yao into the door.
Lanterns were also hanging in the yard, and a group of young men came in and out, talking and laughing. Some knew Zhou Zhong and some knew Zhong Yao, and they all came over to say hello.
After entering the atrium, Zhou Zhong saw the emperor at a glance.
The emperor stood in front of the steps and was looking at a lantern in his hand. The nobleman Xiaoqiao stood beside him, holding a pen in his hand, and was talking in his mouth. The nobleman Oqiao sat in the hall and was writing on the lantern.
"Your Majesty." Zhou Zhong and Zhong Yao stepped forward to salute.
Liu Xie turned his head and was about to speak, Xiaoqiao cheered first. "The great calligrapher is here, don't worry about the calligraphy being laughed at."
Liu Xie smacked his lips and scolded: "What a big loser? The New Year's Day is so unpleasant to hear it."
Xiaoqiao was stunned, knowing that he had made a mistake, and smiled awkwardly. "Your Majesty, I said it is a book of calligraphy, not a loss or a loss. You are going to be punished and I can't afford it."
Zhong Yao smiled heartily and rolled up his sleeves. "It's right whether it's a book or a loser or loser. Your Majesty, I'm just itchy. I'll let you spell it over and over again your Majesty's words."
Liu Xie waved his hand and signaled Xiaoqiao to lead Zhong Yao to the hall.
Zhou Zhong saw it and couldn't help but be happy for Zhong Yao. Judging from the emperor's attitude, I thought Zhong Yao would not be in vain.
"Your Majesty, you are still the water and soil of Jiangnan to support people. Qiao Rui's twin daughters are really getting better and better as they grow older. They are beautiful but wise, and they are just compatible with Your Majesty."
Liu Xie smiled. "Don't Zhou Gong worry that they are a beauty?"
Zhou Zhong waved his hand. "Those are all pedantic words that are not worthy of trust. If you grow in numbness, you will be upright without help. Even if you are a beauty, as long as the emperor is wise, they cannot cause trouble. Jie and Zhou will do it for Jie and Zhou, what does it have to do with the beauty?"
Liu Xie laughed, walked up the steps, holding Zhou Zhong's arm. "Although Zhou's old country is old, his fate is renewed, and so is the same for people. If Zhou Gong can not be bound by old habits and keep pace with the times, he should be a role model in the world."
Zhou Zhong blushed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty praises you, I dare not take it. Every time I think of the past, I am ashamed of being able to take it and cannot sleep all night."
Liu Xie pulled Zhou Zhong to the yard, while admiring the hanging lanterns, he asked about Zhou Zhong’s experiences along the way. He didn’t ask a few questions about Zhou Zhong’s job tasks. Zhou Zhong had already mentioned the relevant situation in his memorial.
When the real trial is over, we have to wait for Jia Xu and Zhang Ji to discuss it together.
After talking for a while, Liu Xie remembered Han Rong. He was also a little surprised to learn that Han Rong went to meet his old friend Liu Xi halfway.
Liu Xi is not a famous official, but a great scholar. Liu Xie has read the books "Shi Ming" and other books he wrote a few times in his previous life and knew that he was a knowledgeable person. Before that, he also came from Jiaozhou.
I heard Liu Xi’s name in the news, but I didn’t know that Liu Xi had arrived in Quanling and wanted to build a school in Quanling.
Zhou Zhong was somewhat surprised. "Your Majesty doesn't know any news?"
Liu Xie was even more surprised. "Do I know? Although Liu Xi once relied on the Shixie brothers, he was just asking for food and clothing. He had nothing to do with government affairs and had never spoken for anyone."
Zhou Zhong was relieved.
He heard that the emperor had a special message channel around him, but the scale and personnel were unknown, whether it was true or false, and he did not say it clearly. But he believed that the emperor would not rely solely on the minister's memorials, and he would definitely have his own source of information.
.
This is somewhat unsettling.
It’s not that the emperor cannot have his own information channels, but that this kind of spy-like institution is naturally uneasy. If the emperor uses him to monitor the ministers, it will be even more disaster.
But after hearing what the emperor said, he obviously didn't care about scholars like Liu Xi, and even didn't care much about the entire Jiaozhou.
"I am taking the liberty, I dare to ask Your Majesty that he plans to deal with the Shi Xie brothers." Zhou Zhong asked with the situation.
Liu Xie thought about it. "I really haven't thought about this. Does Sikong have any good suggestions?"
"Didn't think about it?"
"Yes, this is not a special incident. It has happened before, and it may happen in the future. What's so surprising? Just follow the established regulations." Liu Xie paused and said, "But plead for Shi Xie for mercy.
There are quite a few of them. Later, I asked someone to transfer the relevant documents to Duke Zhou, and Duke Zhou will handle them together."
Zhou Zhong's heart skipped a beat.
The emperor seemed to be smiling and chatting and laughing. He didn't care much about the Shixie brothers, but just asked him to follow the established regulations. But after thinking about it for a moment, he knew that this was definitely not good news.
Because according to the existing provisions, the Shixie brothers were considered to be rebellious, and they could not follow the previous methods of dealing with Dong Zhuo's old subordinates, Yuan brothers, Liu Biao and others.
That is not a established constitution, but a special case, a compromise when the court is not strong enough.
In other words, the situation is different now, and the court is strong enough. The emperor wants to take this opportunity to severely punish the Shixie brothers, clarify the punishment of the orderly and reaffirm the laws of the court.
Not only that, the emperor also had to deal with those who pleaded for the Shixie brothers.
Pleading for a rebellious person is not a misdemeanor. If you don’t do it well, you will be dealt with as the same crime, which means raiding the family and extermination of the clan.
