He asked Yang Yi two questions, which were not too difficult, but the amount of calculation was not small.

Yang Yi didn't even use the calculations, pinched her fingertips, and reported the answer, and it was accurate.

Kong Rong was startled, and jumped up against the case. "Boy, who did you learn from? It's a pity to be a small official in Situ's mansion with such a calculation. If you want to, I can recommend you to Lingtai to worship under Liu Yuanzhuo's family."

Yang Yi was startled. "Is it Liu Yuanzhuo who created the "Qianxiang Calendar"?"

"Exactly."

"Kong Wenju, you really don't come to the door for anything, and there must be something to do when you come to the door." Mi Heng walked in with hands behind his back, striding in. "Why, did the diggers come to my Situ Mansion?"

Kong Rong laughed and shook his sleeves. "Zhengping, look at what you said, I'm just happy to see him, and I don't want him to be buried."

"He is very useful in Situ Mansion, how could he be buried?" You Heng said angrily: "Astronomy and calendar are important, but no matter how important it is, can it be more important than people's livelihood? The accounts that Situ Mansion has to handle every day are piled up like a mountain. Numbers are related to the gains and losses of countless people, and there must be no trace of corruption, but it is much more serious than the calendar half a day earlier and half a day later."

Kong Rong shook his head again and again. "Zhengping, this statement is wrong. Even the Son of Heaven has to follow the sky, how can the calendar be ignored? The lack of government affairs in the past was caused by the inaccurate calendar. Now that the Son of Heaven is rejuvenating the great man, revising the calendar is the top priority."

Chapter 987

Seeing Mi Heng coming in, Yang Yi quickly got up and gave up her seat.

You Heng waved his hand. "I won't sit down anymore, you bring me something to eat, I'll fill my stomach, and I have to go back soon, there are a lot of things waiting."

Yang Yi didn't dare to neglect, turned around and left.

Kong Rong was a little displeased, and forced a smile, "Zhengping, it seems that I really bothered you."

"Whether you come or not, I am the same." Mi Heng smiled, a little tired, but more proud. "After the implementation of Dutian in Jizhou, more and more counties followed. If there is no accident, Dutian will be completed in three or four years. I am busy now, and a large part of the reason is that I have no experience. Waiting for everyone Now that you’re familiar with it, you won’t be so busy.”

Kong Rong was surprised. "You are so confident?"

Mi Heng nodded. "Judging from the situation in Jizhou, after Du Tian, ​​the people are more attentive in farming and recover quickly. After three or four years, I dare not say that if there is less, the income will increase by [-]%, which is more than enough. If it goes well, it may even double. The people have With the money, the business will prosper, the business tax will increase greatly, and the court will have more money in its hands, and then invest in road construction and education..."

Mi Heng gestured with both hands over and over again. "It's a process of co-generation, can you understand what I mean?"

Kong Rong seemed to understand, but he saw full confidence in Mi Heng's eyes, and his mood was somewhat complicated.

It is of course a good thing that the people can live a good life.

But if this good day comes from Dutian and the emperor's thunderous means, it may not be a good thing for Confucianism.

"You seem to have forgotten that Zhang Zibu is promoting benevolent government in Bohai Sea."

Mi Heng laughed and was about to speak when Yang Yi brought food and water.Mi Heng took it, and said to Yang Yi: "There is a copy of Chenliu County's accounts on the case, go and check it."

Yang Yi responded with some excitement, then turned around and left.

Mi Heng held the food in one hand and water in the other, gobbling it voraciously, finished the food in a few mouthfuls, and drank the water in one gulp.

Kong Rong was dumbfounded, and couldn't help saying, "Zhengping, you have to pay attention to your body. If you eat like this, your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

"I'll pay attention." You Heng nodded and said, "Brother Wen Ju, no matter how good his knowledge and ability Zhang Zibu is, can he still surpass Master? Master's restoration of the past all ended in dismal, let alone him? Look at him. Well, after four years, no more than half of the people would still be willing to stay in Bohai. A gentleman is poor, but how many real gentlemen can be poor?”

Kong Rong's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly reminded: "Zhengping, be careful with your words. If you fall into the ears of those who care, you are comparing the emperor to Sanhuan..."

Mi Heng laughed loudly, and waved his hand, signaling Kong Rong to be calm.

He tilted his head, thought for a while, and suddenly laughed. "With the respect of the Son of Heaven, it may be the best result to do the things of the Three Huans. If the Son of Heaven had such courage back then, how could the Eastern Zhou Dynasty be destroyed by Qin?"

Kong Rong was speechless.

Mi Heng waved his hand and withdrew his thoughts. "If you come to me, it's probably not just for small talk."

Kong Rong was slightly taken aback, and quickly told the story of Lubu's writing.

Mi Heng nodded. "I've already seen it."

"What do you think?" Kong Rong showed a smug smile.

The corner of Mi Heng's mouth twitched lightly. "How do you think the Son of Heaven compares with Xiaoling?"

Kong Rong frowned slightly. "How can Xiaoling be compared with the Son of Heaven?"

Ni Heng smiled slightly. "How do you compare with Yang Gongting (Yang Qi)?"

Kong Rong chuckled, but didn't answer.

Yang Qi ridiculed the story of Emperor Xiaoling being on par with Emperor Xiaohuan, he naturally knew.He can also figure out why Mi Heng mentioned this matter at this moment.Although he had some complaints about the emperor's actions, he firmly believed that the emperor was wise, a hundred times better than Xiaoling.

What he is worried about is that the emperor is young, youthful, and eager for success.

But judging from Mi Heng's meaning, it seems that the emperor is more powerful than he imagined, and there is no possibility of youthful spirit at all.

He pondered for a moment. "You mean, the emperor won't care?"

Mi Heng nodded. "The emperor has the world in mind, and he has strict self-discipline, which is close to what Mencius said. How can he be angered by your spring and autumn writing style. If I guess right, he will happily accept your suggestion and rewrite "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji."

Mi Heng gave Kong Rong a meaningful look. "But I want to remind you that the reworked "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji" may not be as you wish."

Kong Rong frowned even tighter. "Why?"

"If you really want to bring up the matter of the Xiaohuan Dynasty again, it will involve a lot of people, have you ever thought about it? Among other things, don't those who used to be attached to the domineering general have to re-examine it?"

Kong Rong suddenly changed color.

The corner of Mi Heng's mouth twitched slightly, and he let out a chuckle. "This is the trouble you caused, you can find a way to solve it yourself. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and walked away.

Kong Rong stood on the spot, motionless, his face turned red and then pale, wishing he could slap himself twice.

Careless.

This is a public outrage, and I don't know how many people will poke their own spines.

-

Sikong House.

Zhou Zhong sat in the back hall, his face livid. "Where is the person, have you not found them?"

Zhou Zhao stood in front of him, silent like a cicada. "I heard that I went to Situ's Mansion, but when I arrived at Situ's Mansion, he had already left. I heard from the people in Situ's Mansion that You Heng only said a few words to him, and then went back to work. Then..."

"Then where did he go?" Seeing that Zhou Zhao hesitated to speak, Zhou Zhong became even more angry and yelled loudly. "Just talk when you have something to say, why are you hesitating? You are an old man, and you can't do little things well."

Zhou Zhao looked even more embarrassed. "And then... he disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Zhou Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed angrily. "What do you mean by missing? Can he still ascend in the daytime?"

Zhou Zhao was helpless.

He was ordered by Zhou Zhong to look for Kong Rong. He first went to Taixue, then chased after Situ Mansion. After running around the city for two days, he still couldn't find Kong Rong.He asked the guards outside Situ's mansion. The guards only knew that Kong Rong entered the mansion, but they didn't see Kong Rong leaving the mansion. They thought Kong Rong would stay in Situ's mansion and spend the night with Mi Heng.

When he found a way to enter the mansion, he realized that Mi Heng only spoke a few words with Kong Rong, and then Kong Rong disappeared.

He didn't dare to ask around in Situ's mansion, so he had to go to Taixue again, wanting to wait for the rabbit.

As a result, after waiting for one night and one more day, Kong Rong's shadow was not seen.

Zhou Zhong was angry for a while, but he also came to his senses. "This old thief, I'm afraid he knew he caused trouble, so he hid himself." He scratched his eyebrows. "Forget it, don't look for him, it's useless to find him. Lubu wrote a letter, the news may have reached the ears of the emperor, we should think about how to deal with it."

Zhou Zhao timidly asked: "Aunt, what does the revision of "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji" have anything to do with my Zhou family? Why is Aunt so angry?"

Zhou Zhong raised his eyelids, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his cheeks twitched, and when he raised his hand, he was slapped loudly.

"Fool, you are also a descendant of the Zhou family, and you are so ignorant about the affairs of your ancestors? Don't you know that your grandfather Zhongxiang Gong is an old official of Liang and Ji? Rewrite "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji", and use the son of heaven to compile "Emperor Xiaoling Ji" and "Emperor Xiaoling" The practice of "Danggu Biography", those things back then have not been turned upside down?"

Chapter 988

When Liu Xie received Sangong's reply, he also received Kong Rong's Lubu letter.

At first, he didn't realize the intention behind this, but out of instinctive vigilance against these old Confucian scholars, he didn't make a judgment immediately, but thought about it for a while.

When Yang Biao came to see him, Liu Xie conveyed the matter to Yang Biao in a very calm manner.

Yang Biao's complexion changed at that time, his eyebrows and eyes raised, and he was almost about to swear.

Liu Xie was curious, but he didn't rush to ask questions, but just looked at Yang Biao quietly.

It took Yang Biao a lot of effort to suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Kong Rong is a crazy student. Although he is knowledgeable, he has little experience in governance. This suggestion seems feasible, but it is extremely difficult to implement. At least It's not feasible right now."

Liu Xie refused to let it go easily, and motioned Yang Biao to speak clearly.

Yang Biao sighed helplessly. "Your Majesty, Emperor Xiaohuan reigned for 22 years. The first 14 years were controlled by the Liang family, and the last eight years were trapped by eunuchs and Qiang rebellion. Lai Duanjiong was good at fighting and pacified the Eastern Qiang, but he also emptied the treasury, and even the salaries of officials in the capital could not be paid in time. Hand out. When Xiaoling came to the throne, the big man was already unable to make ends meet."

Liu Xie reacted.

On the surface, Kong Rong was complaining for Emperor Xiaoling.In fact, Kong Rong accused Emperor Xiaohuan of being aggressive, and this extended to the present situation where he continues to use troops.

I always use the past to describe the present, pointing at mulberry and scolding Huai.

But what he cares about is not these, but why Yang Biao is angry.

Although Yang Biao did not object to his pacification of Yizhou and Jiaozhou, he also had different opinions on conquests overseas, especially the use of troops in the Western Regions.

"Is Mr. Yang worried that I will be too angry?"

Yang Biao shook his head. "Your Majesty's temperament is beyond the reach of the old ministers, so why should you worry about it? It's just that the Xiaohuan Dynasty's government affairs are complicated and complicated, and it is inevitable that there will be things that you can't do. Now that your majesty is implementing a new policy, promoting the king's way, and taking care of everything, why should you be distracted by the [-]-year-old man?" Old things, in vain increase internal friction?"

"You mean, those officials attached to the Liang family?"

Yang Biao didn't speak, just sighed.

Liu Xie was taken aback and didn't say anything more.After a moment of silence, he said to Yang Biao again: "Mr. Yang, I have something to ask."

Yang Biao cupped his hands and said, "How dare I, but follow your Majesty's instructions."

"Think about it, why Liang Ji and his ilk were able to govern for nearly 20 years, and even treacherously, poisoned and killed the emperor, but the group of sages couldn't control it, and how to avoid a similar situation from happening again. I don't want those empty words quoted from the classics, I want to explain and solve it practically way."

Yang Biao raised his head in surprise, and looked at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie met his gaze with clear eyes and a sincere attitude without any perfunctory expression.

Yang Biao's heart was surging, and he bowed. "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Please." Liu Xie bowed slightly.

Yang Biao got up to say goodbye, exited the big tent, looked up at the blue sky with white clouds, and showed a gratified smile on his face.

"It's very fortunate to be born in this world."

-

Yuan Heng put down the pen in his hand, got up and sent the daily life note that he had just recorded to Liu Xie, asking Liu Xie to look over it to see if there was any omission or corruption.

Liu Xie took it over and looked at it, then glanced at Yuan Heng.

"Tell me, who are the people attached to the Liang family that Yang Biao mentioned?"

Yuan Heng's eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Pursuing these old events 40 years ago is of no benefit except to put the ministers at risk. Compared with the past, the prosperous age in the future will be more prosperous." It's worth looking forward to."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although Yang Biao and Yuan Heng were unwilling to say anything, it didn't mean he knew nothing.

Domineering General Liang Ji Neng ruled the country as a dandy for nearly 20 years, and even did such a thing as killing the emperor with poison. Those ministers who were in the same dynasty with him counted as one, and none of them were really innocent.

According to Confucian classics, it is a shame to be a courtier with someone like Liang Ji.If you can't rise up with your sword and eliminate harm for the court, you should clean yourself up and retire to the fields.

Those who stay in the court and do not leave, and do not break with Liang Ji, are all guilty.

But then again, as Yuan Heng said, if the water is pure, there will be no fish, and if people are holy, there will be no disciples. A gentleman in that sense is only in the imagination, and cannot live in reality.

This is the conflict between ideal and reality.

He is not so naive, nor is he so obsessed with moral cleanliness, he requires ministers to be pure moral gentlemen.He was just curious, how many of the ministers who are alive today have something to do with Liang Ji.

Considering that Liang Yi has been dead for 40 years, there should not be many people who have direct contact with Liang Ji.But in the officialdom, fathers and sons often succeed each other, so it is not ruled out that many people's children are still in the court.

Especially those famous families.

For example, the Yuan family in front of him, Yuan Shao's nominal father, Yuan Chenggong, was once Liang Ji's confidant, and he would obey everything he said.

If you really want to rewrite the "Emperor Xiaohuan Ji", it is difficult to skip the matter of Liang Ji, and those who once attached to Liang Ji will be pulled out and flogged.With the current method of compiling history, it will be difficult to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork to be taboo for the sages.

Kong Rong wanted to remonstrate, but accidentally stabbed a hornet's nest, fearing that he would be scolded to death.

The more Liu Xie thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he was even a little proud.

Sure enough, the victor is stronger.

As long as I am open-minded and not afraid of your insinuations, all attacks will become assists, and all dangers will become opportunities.

"Preparing an imperial edict, summoning Kong Rong to go there." Liu Xie smiled slightly. "I want to reward this old minister who dares to speak up, and give him a heavy responsibility."

The corner of Yuan Heng's mouth twitched, and he bowed to accept the order.
