The emperor is willing to follow the kingly way and fulfills his promise to delegate power. Although it is not perfect, he has finally taken a big step towards the kingly way.
The king and his ministers all went as they wished. They were very satisfied with the meal and full of hope for the future.
All in all, this was a united, harmonious, and successful conference.
Only Xun Yu was troubled.
To allow the 90,000 households in Hedong to live a good life with plenty of food, live and work in peace and contentment, and to support the imperial court and 20,000 troops, this responsibility is not ordinary heavy, and the difficulty is not ordinary.
Even though Xun Yu was a talented person like Wang Zuo, he still found it difficult.
Governance is not about talking about doctrine, it is just about using words.
He had no similar practical experience before, and the emperor suddenly wanted to entrust him with the responsibility of practicing the royal way, which put him under great pressure.
He had no recollection of what he had eaten during this meal.
After the dinner, the ministers retired one by one. More than one person came over, saluted Xun Yu, or encouraged Xun Yu, hoping that he could seize this opportunity to govern Hedong well and realize the Confucianism's long-cherished wish for hundreds of years.
.
But Xun You, whom Xun Yu wanted to see most, did not appear.
As soon as the banquet was over, Xun You went back to his tent.
He is a minister and a close official of the emperor. His tent is in the imperial camp, very close to the emperor's tent, so he can consult at any time.
This also made it extremely inconvenient for Xun Yu to see him.
After thinking for a long time, Xun Yu decided to return to the city without seeing Xun You.
Liu Xie stood at the entrance of the imperial tent and watched Xun Yu walk out of the camp and slowly walked towards Anyi City.
"Can he do it?"
Tang Ji on the side said softly: "If he can't do it, I can't think of anyone who can do it." She thought for a while and added, "Maybe the king's way is just an ideal after all and cannot be practiced."
Liu Xie turned to look at Tang Ji. "Sister-in-law has great confidence in him."
Tang Ji smiled and lowered her head. "Since I can remember, I think he is the most intelligent person in the world, and Wang Zuozhi deserves his reputation."
Liu Xie smiled and said nothing.
He didn't know if Xun Yu was the most intelligent person in the world, but he knew that there was another genius in this era who was currently studying in Nanyang, but he was too young and might not have gotten married yet.
They should be of the same age, and some people even speculate that they are the same person, Wolong is the real dragon.
If Xun Yu couldn't succeed, he wouldn't mind letting the Wolong give it a try again to see if this kingly way was possible.
Of course, you are responsible for realizing the awesome things you brag about.
"I hope his family can come soon and have someone to take care of him so that he won't be so hard."
Tang Ji turned to look at Liu Xie and raised her lips slightly. "Your Majesty really intends to hire his daughter as a beauty?"
"Why not? As long as I can make him do his best, I don't mind marrying one or two more." Liu Xie shrugged and said: "There are too many lice and there are no worries. There is no need to worry about too many debts. Anyway, the harem will not be quiet.
One voice doesn’t matter.”
Tang Ji sighed and said goodbye.
It is not easy to be supreme, it is even more difficult to become a wise king, and it is even more difficult to rise to the supreme position of a great man than to reach the sky.
At a young age, the emperor took on responsibilities that he should not bear.
When Liu Xie returned to his account, Fu Shou had already prepared toiletries and was waiting for Liu Xie to wash up.
"Your Majesty's four sentences are really good." Fu Shou couldn't help but say: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations. If you can achieve one of these, you are a sage.
Is it true that the only one who can achieve great success is the Holy King?"
Liu Xie put down the cloth in his hand, glanced at Fu Shou, smiled and said nothing.
I guess you know the stuff.
If it is not the highest level of bragging, how can it become a must-have killer weapon for time travellers?
Aren't you all crying and shouting for the kingly way? I will give you a bigger one to see if you have the courage to practice it.
Anyone who can't brag is truly awesome if he can turn the awesomeness he has boasted into reality.
Ignorant people are still talking loudly, but smart people are probably already trembling.
"In a few days, I will go on an expedition. The queen should worry more about the harem."
"How many more days?" Fu Shou was surprised.
The New Year will be here in a few days, and after the New Year there will be a series of ceremonies that the emperor will attend in person. Is it appropriate to go on an expedition at this time?
Liu Xie nodded, indicating that he was right.
But he didn't explain.
With the foreknowledge of the Song Dynasty, I believe Fu Shou will keep his mouth shut.
The reason why he decided to leave in a few days is because he recently learned that the Huns have some new customs, such as celebrating the New Year like the Han people. When winter comes, they will enter the fortress in large numbers and celebrate the new year in the fortress with lush water and grass.
Not on the bitter cold grassland.
If you want to severely damage the Huns, this is your best opportunity.
It won't be long before the Huns receive news that he has entered Hedong and will be on alert. Coupled with the warmer weather, many people will leave their pastures in Senei and return to Saibei, making it difficult to pursue him.
Only by taking them by surprise and attacking before they react can you have a chance of success.
This was not the original plan, because the conditions were not met and the iron officer had no time to build enough ordnance.
After Pei Qian used water drainage, his production efficiency was doubled. He was able to deliver all the ordnance within a few days. The conditions were suddenly met.
Naturally, he would not miss this rare opportunity just because of the Chinese New Year.
Fu Shou didn't ask any more questions and waited on Liu Xie to go to bed.
Liu Xie was tired for a day and fell asleep after a while.
Fu Shou sat and watched for a while. Suddenly he heard a sound from the front tent and got up quickly. When he came to the front tent, he saw that it was Shi Caiyan. She had written the record and asked Liu Xie to review it.
"Your Majesty is resting," Fu Shou said.
Cai Yan was very surprised, and then he blamed himself and said: "I was negligent. Today is a small New Year's Eve, the emperor and his ministers have a big banquet. The emperor drank a lot of wine, so he should rest early. I should not disturb you."
Fu Shou waved his hand, took the record from Cai Yan, and looked through it.
"The emperor is hunting in the north, will Ling Shi accompany him?"
Cai Yan looked at Fu Shou. "I have not received the notice yet. There are many people who can record daily notes, so I may not need to accompany you."
Fu Shou handed the record back and sighed softly.
"If Ling Shi can bear the pain of marching, he should go with him. There are indeed many people who can record daily life notes, but there are very few who can accompany His Majesty in studying. Your Majesty can have such lofty ambitions, and it is inseparable from Ling Shi's guidance. And
When we are marching outside, we cannot accompany you, and the guards and doctors will inevitably not take good care of you. I can rest assured that I will be accompanied by your order."
Cai Yan suddenly blushed and said: "Your Highness, I have never had such ambitions. I just..."
Fu Shou held Cai Yan's hand and patted it gently.
"I know Lingshi's integrity. This is not an order from the queen, but a wife's request. Just as Mr. Xunfu is responsible for the implementation of the king's laws, Lingshi is also a role model for women to be officials. I shouldn't bother you.
.It’s just that people’s words are scary. Even if Ling Shi is a minister wholeheartedly, how many people believe that Ling Shi and His Majesty are just monarchs and ministers? Rather than living up to false reputations, it is better to live up to the name and be honest."
Cai Yan's face turned red with embarrassment and he didn't know how to answer.
This was a situation she had never imagined. The queen, who was always vigilant and fearful of competition for her favor, would actually entrust the emperor to her.
I haven't done anything disrespectful to the emperor.
