Fortunately for Liu Ming, Emperor Liu Hong personally opposed MLM, a matter that could easily attract criticism, and avoided Liu Ming's embarrassment of eternal infamy.
What Liu Ming sympathized with was that it was not easy for an emperor like Liu Hong.
At the banquet just now, when Emperor Liu Hong was drunk, Liu Hong still said what he had not said to Liu Ming just now: "The world belongs to me, that is nonsense! If it really is all mine, then of course I do"
You can use it and withdraw it at will! But since I ascended the throne, my life has not been as happy as when I was the Marquis. Whenever I have some happy thoughts, those ministers always say something that is not in line with the ancestral system and is not in line with
The rules and so on, so, can this world be considered mine? What's more, among those wealthy families and local powerful people who secretly conceal their land and secretly hide their slaves, who would say that their own things are mine?
Mine? Don't think that I don't know. When I was the Marquis, I did the same thing! Now Aiqing knows, right? If this world is really mine? Then why do I need to use my own things?
The consent of others! The powerful will still guard their own family property. This world is definitely not mine, but I belong to this world! It is better to be in Xiyuan. Everything here belongs to me. I can do whatever I want! Here
I can use people and money at will, without having to discuss with anyone. This is truly mine. And for the sake of this Xiyuan, I will sell my official position and title. Only in this way can I truly own what belongs to me.
Things like this, and now this MLM is a good thing! All rivers return to the sea, hahaha, now I finally have a way to own the whole world!"
Liu Ming now recalls the crazy words of Emperor Liu Hong. While he sympathizes with Liu Hong, he is also secretly frightened.
Liu Hong's words are paradoxical. From the perspective of an ordinary person, he is really pitiful! What kind of money is considered your own? Of course, the money you spend is your own. Keep a
If you pile up money but cannot spend it, you are just a bank administrator! You would never say that the money in the bank belongs to the bank administrator, right?
It is understandable that Emperor Liu Hong is selling his official position and has some crazy ideas. He is just passive and sabotaging, trying to get some small money out of the bank's big money bank. Who makes those people always say that the world is ruined?
It belongs to him, and he is not allowed to use it casually. Of course Emperor Liu Hong would try to take out some of his own money and use it himself. And Liu Hong's madness is easy to understand. For example: a very strong man
, A normal man is always teased by a group of peerless beauties. It can be said that he is sexually harassed all day long. Whenever the man is impulsive, someone will forcibly stop him. What do you think will happen to that man?
The problem now is here. Liu Ming understands the thoughts of Emperor Liu Hong, sympathizes with Liu Hong, and sympathizes with Liu Hong. But this Liu Hong is not an ordinary person! He is the highest point of power in today's society! As the saying goes
Well done, gangsters are not scary! Psychopaths are not scary either! But what will happen to this educated gangster? What will happen to the rational psychopath? And it is precisely that Emperor Liu Hong is such an educated gangster and a rational psychopath.
, and he also has absolute power! This may also be the commonality of the faint kings of the past!
No matter how Liu Ming lamented, Liu Ming finally survived the emperor's test. When Liu Ming came out of the palace, Guo Jia and Yang Jun were still waiting there anxiously. When they saw Liu Ming finally coming out, they hurriedly greeted Liu Ming.
Go back home and make further inquiries.
Liu Ming and others had just returned to the mansion, but before everyone could talk in detail, a servant hurried in and said: "General, there is an imperial edict, please go and receive it as soon as possible."
Liu Ming and others quickly accepted the order. This order was an oral edict brought by a eunuch. Liu Ming was informed and rushed to Youzhou to take office. He said that Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun had rebelled, and asked Liu Ming to rush to quell the rebellion.
Liu Ming accepted the order, thanked him, and rewarded the eunuch who delivered the order. Although Liu Ming wondered why the emperor Liu Hong would pass an oral order to him when he was clearly drunk just now, the order that followed the oral order was true.
The transfer order clearly states that Liu Ming can receive military rations, 300,000 stones, armor, and 10,000 sets of weapons in Jizhou. Moreover, when Liu Ming puts down the chaos, Jizhou and Qingzhou will fully support him, and there is no limit on the money and food for soldiers and horses.
Liu Ming looked at this transfer order and thought to himself: Damn! Isn't this just a modern Baitiao? But now that he is using it himself, it feels so good!
In fact, this oral edict was passed down privately by Zhang Rang and others in order to get Liu Ming to help them quickly. At the same time, because Liu Ming had enough money, Zhang Rang and others gave Liu Ming extra money in order to be worthy of Liu Ming.
Such a transfer order was issued. Of course, these were all secret operations, and Liu Ming and others did not know the inside story.
Now that Guo Jia, Yang Jun and others have seen the transfer order and heard Liu Ming tell what they heard in the palace, they are all happy for Liu Ming.
Guo Jia, in particular, secretly admired Liu Ming: This lord is indeed as wise as a fool and as evil as a good man. Although this MLM trick can temporarily bring a lot of wealth to the emperor, in the long run, it will inevitably increase the suffering of the people.
At that time, how could the people not rebel? How could the power of the Han Dynasty not be shaken? The most important thing is that the lord also put this attention on the emperor, which is really wonderful. In this way, all the bad names are attributed to the emperor
Take the responsibility, and who will tell the truth among the people to the emperor? My lord is really high, really high.
Afterwards, Guo Jia began to calculate the benefits that Liu Ming would bring by officially having the status of a royal relative, the practical advantages of Youzhou's ten-year tax exemption, and how to use the transfer order to maximize its effectiveness.
maximize.
Everyone was happy for Liu Ming when they suddenly found that the little guy Guo Jia was silent again. They felt strange and quickly asked Guo Jia what happened. Guo Jia simply explained his thoughts and everyone was convinced.
Guo Jia is really a brat and thinks far ahead. At the same time, he is lucky that his lord Liu Ming is so blessed that he can invite such a person. Especially when Guo Jia was invited, Guo Jia was still an unknown person.
If this is not the Lord's luck and blessing, what is it?
Only Liu Ming secretly praised: Guo Jia, he is indeed Guo Jia! He is worthy of Cao Cao's high opinion of him! But Liu Ming then thought: Now that Guo Jia is with me, what will Cao Cao do? This Cao Cao is still very polite to me.
Liu Ming thought for a moment and said in his heart: Cao Cao, I don't care whether he lives or lives. Regarding Cao Cao's famous saying, "I would rather let the world down than the world can let me down!", Guo Jia and I did the same.
His retribution.
In mid-October of the first year of Zhongping, Liu Ming and others arrived at Yecheng in Jizhou. On this trip, Liu Ming’s main group of people had one more person and one less person. The one with the more was naturally Zhang Xiuer, and
The younger one is Houde. Zhang Xiuer needs nothing to say if he wants to follow Liu Ming. The Houde was also left by Liu Ming and stayed in the capital to manage and make friends with the powerful.
As for why Liu Ming and the others came to Yecheng? It was because after Liu Yan offered his advice, the imperial court changed the two-level system of prefectures and counties into a state system, and the Jizhou Dezhi Office was Yecheng, so Huangfu Song naturally worked here as an official.
When Liu Ming arrived at Huangfu Song's place, Huangfu Song gave him a great welcome. Are they all acquaintances? Huangfu Song entertained Liu Ming and others with a banquet.
However, when Liu Ming mentioned the transfer order, Huangfu Song looked embarrassed and said to Liu Ming: "General Hanguang, although you have the order in hand, Song Wan will not dare to disobey it, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
!I, the Jizhou Mu, have just taken office not long ago. Moreover, Jizhou has just been pacified, and the treasury is empty. The original surplus grain, armor, and weapons were all looted during the Yellow Turban rebellion. The current Jizhou Mu is just an empty post.
Kezi, not to mention that in Jizhou now, hundreds of industries are waiting for prosperity, and money and food are needed everywhere. Now Song wants to ask the court for assistance. Where can he find the extra money, food, armor, and weapons to support General Han Guang? Please ask General Han Guang to look at the past.
For the sake of our friendship, we should be accommodating."
Liu Ming was stunned by Huangfu Song's words. Liu Ming originally thought that he could make a big fortune by getting to Huangfu Song's place. Who knew that this Huangfu Song actually complained to him about poverty, and indeed said it to Huangfu Song?
Yes, Liu Ming couldn't say anything to Huangfu Song because of their friendship with Huangfu Song in fighting together in the past. He couldn't help but look at Guo Jia.
Liu Ming's unconscious move caused Guo Jia to misunderstand at the time. When Guo Jia saw what Liu Ming meant, he thought that Liu Ming cherished his reputation and was too inconvenient to speak, so he asked himself to come forward to ask for it on his behalf. Guo Jia secretly praised Liu Ming:
The lord is indeed a treacherous, insidious and despicable person. He knows what he should do and what his subordinates should do. He is so insidious. He is really a person who achieves great things. I like it. So Guo Jia stepped forward without hesitation and said:
"General Huangfu, what you said is wrong! My general was also ordered to quell the rebellion, not for selfish reasons, but for public affairs. How can my general have the right to be accommodating? Moreover, General Huangfu is a world-famous person and a pillar of the government and the public.
, how can the interests of one state harm the national affairs?
Huangfusong was speechless for a moment when Guo Jia spoke to him. He finally regained his breath and said, "Who are you, a baby? You are sharp-tongued! But you know that this is official business and friendship between me and General Liu. How can I tolerate this?"
Do you have to act wild here?"
Liu Ming quickly accused Guo Jia and said: "General Huangfu, this person is my staff Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. I only indulged him because I cherished his talent and young age, which made General Huangfu laugh. I will definitely go back.
Be under strict control." After saying that, Liu Ming turned to Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, why don't you apologize to General Huangfu and step back."
Guo Jia laughed secretly: The lord's acting skills are really good. He apologized to Huangfu Song and left.
Liu Ming then went on to say to Huangfu Song: "General Huangfu, what Fengxiao said just now cannot be true. With our friendship, how can I add insult to injury? Let's just pretend that this transfer order is not there."
Huangfu Song gritted his teeth and said: "No! General Hanguang, although you and I have a close friendship and you are extremely benevolent and righteous. But what Guo Jia said is somewhat true. You and I are both important ministers of the imperial court. How can we do anything for personal reasons?"
Mr. Fei! If this is the case, how can we set an example for the world? As the shepherd of Jizhou, I, Huangfusong, will of course solve the difficulties in Jizhou myself, and of course I, Huangfusong, will bear them all. General Hanguang, how dare you
Please rest assured that although Jizhou does not have much military rations, I, Huangfu Song, will take care of it. Han Guang can transport 100,000 stones of military rations first, and I will send the rest later. This is already a big deal for me.
It’s so kind.”
Liu Ming looked at Huangfu Song's face being swollen and pretending to be fat. He really didn't know what to say. Liu Ming had no choice but to give in. However, Huangfu Song now recognized the truth and fell into the trap. Whatever he said was wrong.
This is impossible!
When Liu Ming and Huangfu Song were in a stalemate, a person who had a seat on Huangfu Song's side stood up and said: "Both generals are heroes of the world, and they are extremely righteous. What the two generals are fighting for today is for
The country is for the people. However, the principles held by General Huangfu follow the system of our dynasty and the decrees of the sages! It is better to ask General Liu to support General Huangfu. I would like to play a zither for the two generals to express the performance of the two generals today.
righteous!"
When Liu Ming heard someone dissuade him, he had no choice but to agree to Huangfu Song. He asked Huangfu Song: "General Huangfu, this gentleman speaks elegantly. Who is he?"
Huangfusong persisted for a long time and finally got what he wanted. He was praised and praised by others. He was very satisfied at this time. After hearing Liu Ming's question, Huangfusong smiled and replied: "This gentleman is an expert in the world.
, a great scholar among the scholars. He was from Chenliuyu (now south of Qixian County, Henan Province). His surname was Cai, his given name was Yong, and his courtesy name was Bozhe. When he was young, he studied under the tutor Hu Guang. He was erudite and knowledgeable. He was familiar with classics and history, and liked numerology and astronomy.
, is good at playing music, good at drums and harps, and painting. He is good at diction, and is good at seal script and official script. He is especially famous for his official script. He has the reputation of "various changes in style, exhaustion of ideas, and unparalleled ancient and modern"! In the fourth year of Xiping Dynasty, Bo Zhe and others were Zhengding.
Regarding the text of the Confucian Classics and the Six Classics, Bojie believed that there were many errors in these scriptures due to the attachment of vulgar Confucianism. In order not to hinder subsequent learning, he petitioned for the rectification of these scriptures. After the edict was granted, Bojie wrote it himself.
Dan Yu stele was engraved by Ming Gong and stood outside the gate of Taixue. There are 46 stele tablets. These inscriptions are called "Hongdu Stone Classic", also known as "Xiping Stone Classic". Bojie can be said to be the most famous among scholars today.
Chief. It's a pity that the traitor is in power. Bo Zhe was framed for impeaching the eunuch and was exiled to Shuofang. Now that the people are amnesty, he dares to come back. Recently, it is really a blessing for me to be a guest in my house. And today Bo Zhe gave us even more
It is an honor for all of us to play the piano in person!"
Liu Ming was a little dizzy at Huangfu Song's words, but he finally understood that Cai Yong was not a simple figure, but a celebrity, and a very famous person.
At this time, Cai Yong had already burned incense, washed his hands and face, and started playing the harp. The sound of the harp was quaint and pleasant, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
After the banquet, Liu Ming and others went to the residence to rest in peace. This was a mansion placed by Huangfu Song for Liu Ming.
Liu Ming and everyone gathered together to talk about Huangfu Song's reception banquet today. Yang Jun praised Guo Jia for his wit. Guo Jia smiled and said: "Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord."
