Great Wei Nengchen

Now that he finally walked out of the palace, his mood can be imagined, the excitement is not enough to describe, the excitement is not enough to describe, only the tears on both sides of the eyes are the truest portrayal of the mood!

"Sweet and sour, round and big candied haws, a bunch of pennies!"

A small peddler came over, carrying a large bunch of candied haws on his shoulders, the colors were very attractive, the nephew and uncle were drooling for a long time, and they couldn't move anymore.

By the way, this candied haws is a snack "invented" by Xiao Yi. First hollow out the middle of the wild fruit, stuff it with some red bean paste, and then skewer it with bamboo skewers and dip it in maltose. After cooling, it becomes crystal clear, beautiful and delicious. There is also the effect of appetizing and beautifying!

It was originally made by Xiao Yi to coax his own children, but it was spread out and soon became popular all over the world. The high-ranking officials and poor people loved it, and they affectionately called it 'no-worry candy! '

"Here are eight bunches of candied haws, the bigger ones are needed!"

"No problem, Bawenqian, thank you for your patronage!"

"Everyone is eating candied haws, one bunch per person, don't fight over it!"

Xiao Yi spent money to buy candied haws and distributed them among the people one by one. Lingling also had a bunch. After such a long time, if he still doesn't know who gave birth to his son, he should go to the pig to identify his relatives!

The latter shyly took it in his hand, reluctant to take a bite for a long time, and burst into tears with excitement, the candied haws in a string is more precious than ten thousand taels of gold, just because his man bought it for him!

The rest of the people ate with open eyes and smiles, Liu Hao even wiped the bamboo sticks clean, seeing that everyone liked it so much, Xiao Yi simply made a big bun, carried the skewers on his shoulders, and took whatever he wanted, as long as he wasn't afraid of getting rotten teeth!

Princess Haiyan also ate two, and nodded with satisfaction, but she was more interested in the hawker selling candied haws. She is over 60 years old, with gray hair, accumulated wrinkles, and calluses on her hands. It can be seen that she has life experience people!

"Your Excellency's surname is from Guanzhong, right?"

"Don't dare, old man Liu San, a native of Guanzhong-Hongnong County. Listening to this lady's accent, could it be that he is a township party?"

"The little girl Jingzhaoren's surname also happens to be Liu. The old man is from Guanzhong. Why did you come to Xuchang to do business?"

"It's a long story. I remember that in the second year of Chuping, the god-damned Dong Zhuo occupied the capital, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes... The old man wandered around with his family. Fortunately, Prime Minister Cao and Da Sima Xiao rescued the victims. They settled down outside the city of Xuchang, and allocated [-] acres of fertile land, a farm ox, and lived a peaceful life!

The old man has two sons. The older one is farming at home and takes good care of the crops. The younger one is serving in the army. I can't stay idle at home, come out and start a small business, at least to make up for the family! "

…………

"The people can have such a good life, because Prime Minister Cao and Da Sima Xiao are able to govern the country well, and every household burns incense and kowtows!"

"In the great Han Dynasty, the emperor's surname is Liu, don't the common people think about the benefits of the royal family?"

"The royal family hasn't had a good emperor for so many years, so what good is there to think about? Old men don't burn incense and kowtow to tyrants, foolish kings, and mediocre kings!"

The old man Liu was very talkative, and he was in a very good mood when he met a fellow in Guanzhong. He talked about his life experience endlessly. Princess Haiyan listened carefully, and Liu Xie also pricked up his ears, wanting to know how the people feel!

Princess Haiyan and Liu Xie have always believed that Cao's father and son were insidious and domineering, and took advantage of the troubled times to seize the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty has feelings!

As long as there is a suitable opportunity, if the Liu family ascends to the top, the people of the world will definitely respond and take back the Han Dynasty!

But after some conversations, the siblings completely understood that people's hearts were no longer on the side of the Han Dynasty!

For the common people, whether the emperor's surname is Liu, Cao, or Xiao, they will loyally support whoever can make them have enough food and clothing to live a happy and peaceful life!

On the contrary, the people are not living a good life, whoever they love is whoever they are, I will not care about you, I will beat you to death with a stick if you are in a hurry!

Since the human heart is God's will, and God's will is so, how can a big man not perish?

…………

Next, Xiao Yi led a group of people to wander around the bustling markets in Xuchang City, eating big meals, tasting snacks, visiting temples, shopping, and had a great time!

I wanted to go to the brothel again to open the emperor's eyes, but when I thought of women and children, I had to give up regretfully. I turned around and went into the casino next to me. There came a big killing and won seven or eight hundred taels of silver. !

Another fight with casino thugs, unexpectedly, Liu Xie, who has always been weak, threw his fist at each other this time, making them give him a "five-eyed blue", still laughing excitedly, he insisted that a group of thugs I was scared away, thinking I met a lunatic!

…………

At dusk, Xiao Yi sent the reluctant group back to the palace safely. After the day, everyone had fun, and Liu Xie was the happiest one, even happier than a ten-year-old nephew!

"How is Your Majesty feeling today?"

"I have lived for more than 30 years, and I have never been so happy. If only I could live this kind of life every day!"

"If His Majesty is allowed to live such a life, what is His Majesty willing to exchange?"

"Give it all, don't hesitate!"

"Including the throne?"

"I said, I will not hesitate!"

"it is good!"

Chapter 1636 Ninth Rank Official Law!

"The ministers pay homage to the great king—a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"Forget it!"

In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Pi sat in the middle, his face sinking like water, his eyes angry, accepting the praises of civil and military ministers!

It stands to reason that a superior person has a deep heart, so he should be happy and angry, but Cao Pi was so angry that he drank more than ten bowls of Baihuo decoction in a day, but he still couldn't suppress his anger!

Before, Xiao Yi sent a book as a gift, expressing his support for becoming emperor, as long as he treated Liu's royal family well, this made Cao Pi very happy, thinking that he would be done.

Unexpectedly, before I was happy for a few days, someone jumped out and resolutely opposed my change of dynasty. What was even more unexpected was that the opponent was not a diehard loyalist of the Han family, but a family of nobles!

The Yanzhou gentry was the first to shout out the slogan: "I would rather be a ghost of the Han family than a minister of the Wei family!" '

Not to be outdone, the gentry in Yuzhou also sent people to spread the word: "I only know that there is Han, but I don't know that there is Wei, and the great Han will remain unchanged for thousands of years!" '

The gentry of Jizhou, who had a close relationship with Cao Pi, fell silent. If they didn't speak at this critical moment, it would be silent opposition.

…………

The gentry group has a profound background and spreads all over the world. If they really "raise troops to serve the king", it is likely to repeat the story of the Eighteenth Route princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo, and plunge the Central Plains into a war. But something is wrong!

The question is, is the gentry group really loyal to the Han family and resolutely opposing the Cao family to replace it?

Of course not, the gentry group has always only valued interests, not loyalty. Whoever sits on the throne of the emperor has little influence on them.

"A group of white-eyed wolves who see profit and forget righteousness, allow blood and eat meat, this is the benefit of strangling their necks, so they won't be afraid of bursting their stomachs-Bah! Bah!"

Cao Pi cursed a few words in his heart, and picked up a memorial from the table case, which was submitted by Censor Zhongcheng-Chen Qun a few days ago. '

For more than [-] years, the Han family has been implementing the method of combining recommendation and examination. First, the local states and counties recommend filial piety and scholar, and after the central government conducts various examinations, officials are appointed according to their ability and character!

This method was good in the early stage. For example, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, capable officials such as Zhu Fuyan, Sang Hongyang, Dong Zhongshu, and Gong Sunhong were all recommended to the central government in this way and played a huge role.

However, since the later Han Dynasty, official careers have been gradually monopolized by gentry groups, and most of the people who recommend them are people from famous families but without talent and virtue. In the hands of a group of people, the country's decline is inevitable!
