Chapter 967 (1/2)

The courtiers insisted on seeing the emperor, and they would not leave without seeing him.

There are many problems, but the bones are very hard.

Even if he threatened to kill his head, he would not compromise.

Liu Zhao had no choice but to compromise, but he saw only Lord Lu.

Lord Lu adjusted his official uniform and went into the hall to meet him.

The ministers were envious.

”Lord Lu, the emperor's confidant of the two dynasties, is amazing!”

”Although your majesty is thoughtless and impulsive, he is kind to the courtiers left by the late emperor.”

Emperor Chengzong Wende, together with Liu Zhao's father and son, was one of the few emperors who continued to use the courtiers left by the previous emperors after they became emperor.

Lord Lu walked into the Jinluan hall, and the gate of the hall closed behind him.

Only a few candles were lit in the hall, the lights were flickering and the light was dim.

For a while, Lord Lu did not find the location of the emperor Liu Zhao.

Until Liu Zhao uttered a voice, ”love Qing at will!”

Lu Da talent found that the emperor Liu Zhao was sitting on the steps, leaning against the legs of the table, with no sitting posture or imperial burden.

He was surprised and rushed to see him, ”how do you greet your majesty? Is your majesty well? ”

”Ann! It's just that I'm upset. Aiqing, sit down

There's no place to sit.

All the emperors sat on the ground. If Lord Lu wanted to sit, he could only sit on the ground with him.

But in this way, it is disgraceful and contradicts his character.

Lord Lu has always been a man of good manners, and his daily life has its own rules.

Sitting on the ground, too hard on him.

But standing up and answering, higher than your majesty, is tantamount to your Majesty's looking up to him. This is disrespectful.

Just, just, Lord Lu picked up his clothes and knelt directly in front of Liu Zhao. All the problems were solved.

Liu Zhao was not moved. ”Why does Aiqing want to see me?”

”Don't trust your majesty.”

”I'm fine. A group of curfews can't help me.”

”Good luck, your majesty!” Lord Lu bowed and said.

Liu Zhao said indifferently: ”Aiqing has seen me, and knows that I have nothing to do with me. I have made an account of all my ministers. Aiqing, please step down. ”

It's not easy to get in, but to step back.

Lord Lu looked at Liu Zhao, ”does your majesty feel heartache?”

Liu Zhao was furious, his eyes spurted fire, and he angrily denounced, ”wanton!”

Lord Lu was not afraid. ”It can be seen that your majesty is upset. Since you are upset, I can't leave.”

Liu Zhao ha ha ha sneer, ”love Qing want how?”

Lord Lu pondered: ”what happened today is better than being alarmed. However, the matter also sounded an alarm to your majesty. If you go too far, you will be attacked. If your majesty wants to reform the system, he should try to do so. It is not the blessing of Zhou that everything is done in a hurry. If the rebellious heart of the courtiers is aroused, even if they know it is a good system, they will resolutely oppose the reform for the sake of opposing his majesty. Your majesty can kill one person, ten people, and a hundred people, but he can't kill all the people in the world, let alone the hearts of the world. ”

Liu Zhao sneered, ”Ai Qing's so-called people's heart is not the heart of small people, but the heart of scholars. Scholars have their own interests. What they say is for their own interests, not for the people. Don't worry about it. ”

Lord Lu did not move like a mountain, ”Your Majesty said, but I didn't agree. All men have desires. Scholars have their own interests, and the common people also have their own interests. Let Xiaomin stand in the court, who can guarantee that Xiaomin will not bring disaster to the country and the people? Once they are in power, they are even more crazy. They will still seek profits for one village, one surname and one place, at the expense of public and private interests.

A scholar knows shame at least. There is a bottom line. Can Xiaomin have a sense of shame, understand the bottom line and understand the general trend? In the opinion of Wei Chen, it's just for the sake of opposition that the criticism and denial of scholars are only for the sake of opposition

Liu Zhao said with a straight face, ”according to Aiqing's words, we don't need to pay attention to the demands of the ordinary people. We just need to pay attention to the demands of the scholars, and the world will be peaceful.”

Lord Lu shook his head, ”no! Wei Chen means that we should not only pay attention to the demands of the small people, but also the demands of scholars. All of them are the people, so we should treat them equally. Scholars spread knowledge and information and influence the judgment of many ordinary people. Therefore, emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the demands of scholars. ”

Liu Zhao laughed. ”Ai Qing's meaning is that all the scholars in the world are against me. I should learn from today's lesson and stop moving forward.”

Lord Lu shook his head again and again, ”Your Majesty drilled the point of ox horn again. No matter the scholars or the ordinary people, they don't want to see the court shaking. Frequent unrest in the court will cause instability of the people's minds and local government officials will not work in fear. If this situation can not be changed, the people in the world will want to change. For the sake of stability, there will be unspeakable disaster. Then it will be your Majesty's disaster! ”

”Alarmist! The people's life is stable and rich, light corvee, no matter how turbulent the court is, it will not affect the small people's three meals a day. ”

”But it will affect the local government and make people panic! When the local government is in turmoil, how can the people live in peace and stability? ”

”The local officials were fed up and took charge of the Court Affairs.”

”Your Majesty has never served in a local office and does not understand the ideas of local officials. As an official, how can you not care about the affairs of the imperial court. As an official, you need a team. ”Lord Lu was very straightforward and did not cover up for the officialdom.

Liu Zhao frowned.

Lord Lu said: ”I know that your majesty will release the family members of marquis Lu to the northwest, and the time has not come to announce it to the public. But the courtiers did not know! The court officials believed that his Majesty was fatuous, broke the patriarchal system and let go of the chips that held down the Marquis of Lu. Therefore, the court was boiling, and the courtiers had resentment in their hearts, and then they were used by others. If your majesty tries to be more patient and spend more time, everything can be avoided. ”

Liu Zhao's face was serious, ”I understand what Aiqing said. It's just that time doesn't wait. ”

”No matter how urgent the time is, can it be more important than your Majesty's throne? The court is turbulent and the people are unstable. Can your Majesty's plan go smoothly? Anyway, the plan has been delayed. Why don't your majesty use this time to appease the angry courtiers. The first year of Jingming was a smooth one

With that, Lord Lu sighed again.

”At the thought that the first year of Jingming dynasty would be written in the history books, a certain * * palace would abolish the emperor in a certain month, and I felt deeply ashamed!”

Liu Zhao was furious!
