Chapter 1081 Liu Xie’s bare chin


    When Liu Xie arrived in Bingbei, he first arrived outside Pingyang. There was another matter, which was certainly a big one, and that was to enshrine Yinshan Mountain in Zen. The so-called Feng Chan means offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Feng means offering sacrifices to heaven, and Zen means offering sacrifices to earth. When there is auspiciousness coming from the sky or to indicate that the country is in peace and prosperity, a large-scale ceremony will be held to worship the heaven and earth.


    Because people in ancient times lacked knowledge, the theory of the round sky and the earth was relatively popular. In addition, there were Confucian students who specialized in etiquette at that time. Most of them were in Qi and Lu. Therefore, many Confucian students at that time were recognized as Mount Tai. It is the highest mountain among the Five Mountains, so Mount Tai was highly praised. As a result, everyone from the First Emperor of Qin to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped in Mount Tai.


    During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period in ancient times, it is said that there was a Zen ceremony, but no one knows whether it happened or not, and there are no specific written records. There are only some hearsay things, such as the birth of a golden harvest, the arrival of a phoenix, and all kinds of auspiciousness. It would be embarrassing to not have some auspiciousness when summoning an emperor and conferring Zen status...


    Maybe the emperors in ancient times were more reserved, or maybe it was because of these so-called auspiciousness, well, for reasons that everyone knows, it is inconvenient to describe in detail, so there were no specific norms and procedures passed down to later generations, which caused Qin Shihuang to After unifying China, when he wanted to go to Fengchan Taishan, he prepared a huge staff team of seventy people, but there was no way to negotiate a coordinated result, and the rules were extremely cumbersome. Qin Shihuang was so angry that he simply put all these together. The staff and discussion team all dismissed, and then they themselves used the etiquette of worshiping the Emperor of Heaven during the Warring States Period.


    ??The same thing happened when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came. At that time, Confucian scholars and alchemists held different opinions and argued endlessly. In the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty simply used the so-called etiquette of worshiping Taitian God to perform the Zen ceremony...


    At Liu Xie''s place now, although the status of Yinshan Mountain is obviously not as important as Mount Tai, it cannot be dealt with casually, and the matter of Yinshan''s enshrinement of Zen is actually of no importance to Fei Qian. It is different from adding another layer of glory. In the eyes of some people, this naturally cannot be done so easily.


    At present, there are probably four types of people in Pingyang.


    One is naturally the Bingbei faction headed by Fei Qian, the second is the people surrounding Yang Biao with Yang Xiu as their spokesperson, and the third is Zhongshao, who has been greatly reduced in strength and almost marginalized after the Battle of Guanzhong. On one side, the Guanzhong disciples headed by Zhongjie, and on the last side, naturally, the royalists on Liu Xie''s side were on the rise after the Qiuxian Order.


    I guess so.


    ??Anyway, Fei Qian looked at the names under the pomegranate skirt of Liu Xie these days, well, some of the lists under the robe, and found no names that could influence the wind and rain, not even one that had a slight impression...


    ?Perhaps the time is still short and the people who want to come are still on their way?


    ?However, this does not affect Liu Xie''s large-scale enfeoffment of some young talents who came to seek refuge as Langguan in the past two days. There are many kinds of ministers, doctors and so on. Of course, this is Liu Xie''s own right as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, which is understandable. However, because the court was controlled by other people some time ago, Liu Xie was unable to use this right smoothly.


    Various types of Lang officials are divided into four grades: Yi Lang, Zhong Lang, Shi Lang, and Lang Zhong. They are all the so-called ministers of the monarch. At the beginning, their main duties were to guard the gates, serve as chariots and rides, and also be ready for the emperor at all times. The consultant dispatch has now gradually evolved into a reserve of various officials, ready to fill the waiting list at any time.


    There are so many such people, although they do not occupy any important positions for a while, it still makes the current court officials a little uncomfortable. There was a pit for each carrot, and then there was a small carrot staring at it eagerly. Naturally, the big carrot squatting in the pit felt uncomfortable.


    So in such a chaotic situation, the matter of fengchan Yinshan became a small battlefield for various parties in the court.


    ?This matter also involves Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West. Who dares to touch the tiger''s **** rashly? However, if the power of General Zhengxi can be used to give the other side some eye drops or something, it will be something that all parties involved in the wrestling would like to see.


    Feng Chan can be regarded as a major and exciting political event since the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, anyone who has some ideas will almost have to sharpen his head and dig into it. It is good to leave a name in the history books. …


    So, early today, a group of people gathered outside the hall of Liu Xie''s palace, waiting for Liu Xie''s arrival to discuss the matter together.


    The first person on the left was given to Fu Wan. After all, Fu Wan was newly promoted to King Jingo and was a relative of the emperor. Naturally, he had a noble status. There was no problem in sitting in the first place. Fei Qian sat on the right. The first place is the leader, and then Yang Xiuzhong, Shao and other talents sit on the mat according to their respective official positions.


    In the Han Dynasty, unless it was a grand occasion like a meeting of hundreds of officials, the current model was still more common. The distance and gap between the emperor and his ministers were not very far. Each sat in his own seat, which only reflected the role of the monarch. The difference is that there is just an extra desk in front of me.


    ???Fei Qian was naturally the one taking the lead in the matter of fengchan Yinshan. After all, it was his own home field, so naturally he was the first to speak out:


    "Your Majesty, all the emperors of ancient times were granted the title of Zen. Shun received the Xuanji Jade Scale to coordinate the seven political affairs, and then offered sacrifices to God, and was favored by the six sects. He was blessed by the gods of the mountains and rivers, and was also favored by the herdsmen of the Five Mountains. In this way. Yu also followed it, and the subsequent Tang, Xia and Zhou dynasties also did the same. At first they were austere and found peace, but later they were negligent and caused chaos..."


    "...When the Han Dynasty was prosperous, there was also auspiciousness. Taizu, a humble man, tried to kill a big snake. Someone once said: ''The snake is the son of the White Emperor, and the slayer is the son of the Red Emperor.'' So he went to Bashang and fought with the princes in Xianyang. Established as the King of Han, and finally established the Han Dynasty..."


    “... Emperor Wen held sacrifices in the suburbs, and the fire power was lifted up in the shrine, which was as bright as the sky. He also saw the five emperors at Changmen in the north of the road. This meant that the world was auspicious, and Wen Jing’s rule was in the rear..."


    "...The merits of Emperor Wu are astonishing in the past and today. He drove the Xiongnu from the north, the barbarians from the south, expanded the territory to the west, and conquered Hu Huan in the east. The land of Yinshan Mountain also belonged to the Han Dynasty. The Yinshan Mountain was enshrined in Zen, which shocked the desert. For more than a hundred years, the Hu people Don’t dare to look directly…”


    "...Then, Xianbei rose up in Mobei, invaded and harassed the south, and the Yinshan Mountains also fell into the fishy smell. Fortunately, your majesty was blessed with great blessings, and soldiers were ordered to serve. With the help of false ministers, a corner of the Yinshan Mountains was recovered, and it was returned to the Han Dynasty. This is your majesty''s heavenly favor. The omen is also the beginning of peace in all directions, so we should carry out the ceremony of sealing Zen and make it clear that the whole world will celebrate it!"


    Of course, whether this recovery of Yinshan is a so-called auspicious omen, everyone present basically knows it well. Even Liu Xie actually understands it to a certain extent. However, everyone present will not be stupid enough to jump out and say it. This matter was not as trivial as Liu Xie''s, so when Fei Qian finished speaking, he congratulated Liu Xie almost in unison.


    ?At the same time, everyone present looked at Fei Qian with extremely complicated eyes. But now, since Fei Qian has brought out such a large plate of dishes, it is now a question of how much he can put on his own plate.


    The enshrinement of Yinshan Mountain does not mean that Emperor Liu Xie climbed up Yinshan Mountain alone and muttered a few words. It also required a lot of preparation work and various ceremonial utensils, so as to reflect the royal style and show the international style of the Han Dynasty. Wait, so there are a lot of things to do...


    Liu Xie looked around and saw that everyone was in favor of Yinshan''s enshrinement. He couldn''t help but show a relaxed smile, nodded and said: "What Fei Aiqing said is very popular with me. Yinshan is a vassal of the Han Dynasty. , returning to the Han Dynasty should be celebrated. Now that the world is uneasy, it is even more necessary to scare Xiaoxiao and calm the hearts of the people. "Everyone also said that what Liu Xie said was very reasonable, he was far-sighted, he had a commanding position, and he was superior to others...


    In fact, most people in De, including De Zhongjie, who has a somewhat alliance with Fei Qian, believe that even if Yinshan is recovered, there may not be any special benefits. The Bingbei area had been messed up by the Hu people before. The people were sparse and there were few products. They faced ferocious Hu people every day. As early as the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, most of the officials in the Bingbei area were It has become an official position at the command of Zhisheyaoyao. As long as someone is willing to go, he will be hired out of the norm. Just like the situation when Fei Qian said he wanted to go to the north, as long as he is willing to go, he will be sent wherever he wants to go. If the official rank is not enough, even if he pretends to be in power like Fei Qian did at that time, it will be enough.


    ?Even so, few people are willing to serve as officials in the north. This mode of thinking has been around for decades. How can it be immediately relieved just because Pingyang has changed?


    Furthermore, Fei Qian''s presence in Pingyang can be more or less controlled, but if something happens and leaves Pingyang, it is unknown whether the Qianghu, Xiongnu, and Xianbei will be able to continue to stay safe.


    Therefore, most people think that it is only right to fulfill Liu Xie''s wish as soon as possible, and then to settle the matter early and return to Kyoto...


    Liu Xie sat at the top, still immersed in the auspicious heavenly blessings described by Fei Qian, with a smile that could not be concealed at the corner of his mouth, but he wanted to seriously express that he actually didn''t care about this, and cared more about It was the people of the Han Dynasty who were suffering, so he continued: "In the Bingbei area, the people are mostly poor and life is not easy, so there is no need to greet them along the way..."


    “Your Majesty is wise.”


    “Your Majesty is concerned about the people, which is the reason of the Holy Lord.”


    …”


    That said, but in fact, there is no place to do anything like burning incense, spreading soil, and setting up tables and kneeling to welcome people along the way. From Pingyang to Yinshan, except for a few pitiful county towns, there are only a few counties along the way. Most of them are desolate and uninhabited wilderness, and the people along the way come from nowhere.


    “…Ahem…” Yang Xiu sat aside, raised his sleeves, and coughed slightly, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.


    Fu De glanced at Yang Xiu slightly, pondered for a moment, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty''s enthronement is also a blessing for the world, how can it reduce the embarrassment? Although Your Majesty is considerate of his subjects, but the subjects also have the heart to repay His Majesty''s kindness, how can Your Majesty tolerate it? Reject?"


    "This..." Liu Xie hesitated after hearing this.


    ??There are young people who don’t like blooming flowers, and there are those who don’t like the hustle and bustle. They say they want to be simple and frugal, but who really likes to go to Yinshan Mountain all the way to Yinshan Mountain eating a large solid pancake with coarse flour and mixed grains and cold water?


    But the problem is how much wealth the court has now. As Liu Xie, how can he not know it? What''s more, he ran out of Guanzhong this time. Although some court officials are coming one after another, these officials also did not bring them with them. Any money brought in, the expenses for this period of time were provided by Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi. Now, if we want to make it more prosperous and complicated, doesn''t it mean that we have to spend more money?


    However, in Fu De''s mind, what he was thinking about was that Fei Qian was the most favored at the moment. Fei Qian had taken most of the glory of Fengchan Yinshan, so it was natural to spend some blood to dress up, no matter what. Even if I am wronged, I cannot wrong Your Majesty, right?


    "This...how much money is left in the treasury and the young manor?" Liu Xie thought for a while, and then asked knowingly.


    Everyone bowed their heads to Liu Xie''s question, and no one answered for a while. The scene was inevitably a bit awkward.


    It is pitiable to say the least. As the emperor, Liu Xie was not under the control of Liu Xie at all, not to mention the treasury. Therefore, it is probably not wrong to say that Liu Xie is a poor man.


    However, since Liu Xie asked the question, he had to give an explanation. Therefore, as a relative of the state, Fu Wan naturally had to stand up for Liu Xie, so he half-turned around, looked at Zhongjie, and said: "Doctor Zhong, I am from the Kyoto vassal treasury in Guanzhong." , are all under the control of your father, why don’t you tell your Majesty the truth?”


    Zhongjie raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, back to Duke Fu, originally the Guanzhong Treasury was indeed managed by my father, but..."


    Zhong Jie glanced at Yang Xiu, and then said: "But... the Marquis of Linjin organized a rebellion and surrounded the two palaces, and the Treasury has lost its control. I''m afraid..."


    After hearing this, Yang Xiu could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and immediately raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Dr. Zhong said is wrong! In the past, Minister Zhong used the emperor''s orders to bully the ministers and poison the people. The pass was like a fire and water. Normally, my father couldn''t bear it anymore. In order to save His Majesty from the fire and water, and save the generals of China from falling, he went out to remonstrate with troops, but Shangshu Bu Zhong actually held His Majesty hostage..."


    Liu Xie frowned upon hearing this.


    Anyway, these two people have never dealt with each other all the way, and they have pointed at each other not once or twice. But with such a bunch of words, other aspects aside, there is one thing that the two sides are very clear about, that is, there is no such thing. As for money, Yang Xiu also has no money. As for whether the original treasury master''s house has money or no money, no one can figure out this bad debt now.


    At present, the finances of the Han Dynasty are almost exhausted.


    The rich and fertile Jizhou and Yuzhou were all occupied by the Yuan family. Hongnong Guanzhong had just experienced a catastrophe. It is hard to say how much output there was. As for the rest of the places, although they have not yet expressed their independence from the rule of the Han Dynasty, in fact, they were originally The finances that should be escorted to the imperial court were all intercepted locally...


    It can be said that today’s Han treasury is just like Liu Xie’s chin, smooth and tender, with no hair at all...
