Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 64
"Mr. Dong Zhuopi ordered the world in my name and called on my ministers to oppose me. I wonder what you think about it?" In the court, Liu Xie was furious about this matter.

All the officials in the palace looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

Naturally, they had heard the news that Dong Zhuo was in Chenliu for the alliance, and the false edict "cut down the ministers and the Qing emperor's side".However, Dong Zhuo used Situ Ye Que's proposal to build a church to call on other gentry families, and even the families of ministers in the court participated in it.What can these ministers say?
"Your Majesty, the cause of this matter is only Master Situ, and the target of the crusade is only the Situ family. I kindly ask your Majesty to make an early decision." Former Situ Yuan Huai stood up at this time, and did not ask for Ye Que to be punished. When it comes to who Dong Zhuo wants to attack, the meaning is already very clear.

Liu Xie didn't know the cause of this matter, but Liu Xie couldn't punish Ye Que without reason.Not mentioning the fact that Ye Que was Liu Xie's teacher, but simply saying that punishing Ye Que meant compromising with Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie could not touch Ye Que.If Ye Que is punished, where will his dignity as the emperor remain?
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes: the one who gets the right way will be more helpful than the one who is wronged. Almost all the gentry in the world are on Dong Zhuo's side, can't your majesty still make up his mind?" Seeing that Liu Xie was sitting on the dragon chair, Yuan Huai couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Decided to add a fire.

"Your Majesty, please think again. The country is the most important thing, and the people of the world are the most important." As soon as Yuan Huai's words came out, many ministers stood up one after another, knelt in the hall, and forced Liu Xie to make a decision .

Liu Xie looked at the minister kneeling at his feet, and suddenly fell silent. "Anyone can be sacrificed for the sake of the Han Dynasty", this is what the Empress Dowager Dong who raised Liu Xie taught him;At this moment, Liu Xie was really confused.

Liu Xie listened to the officials in the court hall to persecute him, as if he saw a devil walking towards him.Although Liu Xie has the air of an emperor at this moment, he cannot escape the fact that he is still an eight-year-old child.The infinite fear in my heart almost had the urge to let Liu Xie escape.

"There are more than tens of millions of people in the world, but tens of thousands of nobles support Dong Zhuo. How can you say that there is a lot of help!" Ye Que knew that there was some gap between Liu Xie and him at this time, but he saw that Yuan Huai and his ministers were forcing each other hard. Liu Xie, who was about to collapse, Ye Que still chose to stand up.Not for himself, just because Liu Xie was his student.

Liu Xie looked at Ye Que, and felt a throbbing in his heart.At this time, Ye Que, who was already on the cusp of the storm, stood up.Just like when the officials opposed his succession, Ye Que was now standing on the opposite side of everyone and blocked all the wind and rain for him.

Seeing that Ye Que dared to defend himself, Yuan Huai immediately replied, "All the officials in the world are the sons of the gentry. If we don't get the support of the gentry, wouldn't our Great Han Dynasty be in chaos?"

"Hehe." Ye Que laughed after listening to Yuan Huai's words, and looked at the officials in a puzzled manner.After laughing enough, Ye Que said: "Taifu only said, do you think that the nobles are the foundation and the future of my Han Dynasty?"

"That's natural." The Yuan family was originally a noble family, and their background determined their horizons.As Yuan Huai, when will he look at those civilians?

"Then I don't know where the clothes Mr. Tai Tuo wears every day come from? Where does the food come from? Where does the house come from? Who will carry the sedan chair?" In a breath, Ye Que asked Yuan Huai four questions, none of which could be regarded as major matters, but they were related to daily necessities of life.

"Although I'm not talented, I still have a few taels of spare money to buy clothes. As for food, Brother Chao Ting's salary is enough. The house I live in is naturally passed down from the family, and the sedan chair is carried by the servants of the family. Why, it's difficult Could it be that there is not enough food in Master Situ's house?" Yuan Huai didn't know what Ye Que meant, and he still made fun of Ye Que after he finished speaking.

Although Ye Que heard the teasing in Yuan Huai's mouth, he didn't take it seriously, and said: "Then dare to ask the Grand Tutor, can the children of the gentry know how to raise silkworms, reel silk, weave cloth and tailor clothes? Can the children of the gentry know how to farm and harvest, and work in the fields? Can the children of the gentry know how to mason, bake bricks and build houses? Can the children of the gentry come to Taiwan to carry your old man's sedan chair?"

Yuan Huai was speechless by Ye Que's question. At this time, a minister next to him stood up, but it was his uncle Dong Cheng.Dong Cheng saw that Ye Que kept talking about the gentry, so he stood up and said: "Those jobs should be done by those lowly people. As the pillars of the country, how can the children of the gentry do lowly things?"

After Dong Cheng finished speaking, Yuan Huai thought to himself: It's not good, it's going to be bad.But there is no way, he can still refute Dong Cheng's words.

Ye Que turned his head and stared at Dong Cheng coldly, making Dong Cheng's heart shudder. "According to Uncle Guo's words, do you think that as long as there are gentry in the Han Dynasty, the country can last forever?"

Dong Cheng was frightened by Ye Que's eyes, and naturally felt ashamed.Hearing Ye Que's question, he stood up straight and responded, "Naturally."

After hearing Dong Cheng's words, Ye Que no longer looked at him, but turned to look at Liu Xie, and said, "Your Majesty, Mencius once said: the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least. There is also a sentence for your Majesty: the king is the boat and the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also capsize the boat."

"Nonsense, what 'the king is a boat and the people are water' is a bunch of nonsense." Yuan Huai heard Ye Que say this, and immediately angrily reprimanded: "According to Lord Situ, doesn't your Majesty obey everything? Those common people? Then is this world ruled by His Majesty or those common people?"

Yuan Huai's words implied that Ye Que meant to be a minister, but Ye Que didn't care at all.Ye Que continued to look at Liu Xie on the dragon chair, and said: "There is a saying in "Six Secret Teachings": 'The world is not a world of one person, but a world of people in the world. Those who share the benefits of the world will win the world, and those who are good at the benefits of the world Those who don't will lose the world'." In the words, although they were refuting Yuan Huai's words, they were more about teaching Liu Xie.

"Under the whole world, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king. Since the world is all the land of the king and the ministers of the king, it is said that the world is the world of the people of the world. Moreover, the ruler of the world, the relatives and teachers, are the foundation of etiquette." Yuan Huai did not show any weakness, and continued to respond.

Ye Que turned around at this time, looked at Yuan Huai, and said, "It turns out that Master Taifu understands the principle of 'Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent and Teacher'. How dare you ask why Master Yuan was pressing His Majesty so hard just now, and why the nobles in the world can't be at ease?" Do you study at home with peace of mind in order to seek an official position?"

Yuan Huai didn't feel embarrassed at all when he heard Ye Que's questioning, on the contrary, he became happy. "Situ did something wrong, can't someone who is sitting down as an official correct me?"

As soon as Yuan Huai finished speaking, Ye Que threw the Baiyu Zhengui in his hand to the ground, pulled out the horizontal hairpin on the official hat with his left hand, took off the official hat, and threw them on the ground together. "Today the gentry want the official hat on Ye Mou's head, just take it away. In the future, the gentry want to take the dragon crown on His Majesty's head, will you also force His Majesty to take off the dragon crown?"

Hearing what Ye Que said, all the ministers in the palace knelt down and said "dare not" to Liu Xie.Ye Que didn't wait for the other ministers' rebuttals, and continued: "Your Majesty Longwei, you dare to offend me. How can you be a minister? Today, if you think that going to Ye Mou's head can make Dong Zhuo surrender, this head , take whatever you want!"

Liu Xie on the dragon chair looked at Ye Que, he never forgot to do his duty as a teacher and at the same time maintained his prestige at all times, he was so moved that he couldn't be more moved.

"That's enough, I have a plan for this matter, let's retreat. Lord Situ, come with me." Liu Xie finally stood up and said.When he said this, Liu Xie said in his heart: "Sir, I have never betrayed me. How can I betray him?"
