Chapter 990

Liu Yuanqiao doesn't like early morning and doesn't engage in early morning. Everything is decided at the meeting during the on duty time.

It's basically about which department is involved. Call people from which department to hold a meeting, or decide on major matters through joint meetings with multiple departments.

In order to make more use of this time, they also arranged to call six officials above the rank of waiter to have dinner together at noon. We can also take the opportunity to hold a meeting, also referred to as the regular lunch meeting. Such a meeting is mainly to talk while eating, so as to maximize the use of time.

This is contrary to Confucius' saying: no words to eat and no words to sleep. Many people feel sorry for it.

Such a practice makes officials feel happy and comfortable. After all, it is very comfortable not to get up in the dark early in the morning and rush to the court. Usually, it is good to say that if you encounter wind, rain or cold weather, you really want human life, which means that officials don't have to go to bed early in the morning and have a lot of colorful nightlife.

However, Liu Yuanqiao's practice was satirized by many old ministers of the previous dynasty.

They ridiculed Liu yuanqiang, mainly for pleasure, in order to play with women in the harem, and the king did not go to the early Dynasty.

On this point, Liu Yuanqiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people and argue with them. He found that even if the early Dynasty was cancelled, it did not necessarily reduce the work efficiency. The imperial court still operated, and the efficiency was higher.

After Liu Yuanqiao took charge of the imperial court, what he tried to do was to establish new rules and make efforts to streamline departments and improve efficiency. Although the previous Ming Dynasty officials had a very long attendance time, they were overstaffed, overstaffed and inefficient. Many things that could be completed in half a day had to be tossed for a few days.

Liu Bu talked about this with Liu Yuanqiao at the regular lunch meeting. If there is nothing special, their father and son mainly talk at the regular lunch meeting. The morning greeting is just a simple greeting and will not talk about business.

Speaking of his eldest daughter's marriage, Liu Yuanqiao had some emotion. He said, "I didn't expect that girl Ying will be in the year of her coming out of the cabinet. Your brother will be responsible for this. How much money will you pay? Take the account of the internal money."

Liu Yuanqiao doesn't like Liu, hates her, hates Wu and Wu, and doesn't have a good face for Liu Ying, but after all, he is his own flesh and blood, so he can't ignore it. There are still some etiquette to give, but he can't give care and family affection.

Liu Bu is interested in this. Liu Yuanqiao can't say anything. Just let him go. Just give him some money and food to do the marriage well. It's true that heaven has no family affection. It's estimated that this is the case?

Liu Bu smiled and said, "I can afford this dowry money as a brother and am willing to pay it. Who told me to have a word in advance? Now it's mainly a matter of etiquette. What kind of etiquette should I adopt?"

Liu Yuanqiao said, "now that you have put forward it, you must have a plan. If there is anything, you can make up your mind."

Liu Yuanqiao is very satisfied with his son. It can be said that he called back most of the world, and he is also very smart and knowledgeable.

After taking the capital, he took the initiative to hand over his military power and obediently shrank in his heart nourishing hall. They were also dealing with official affairs, but they no longer took charge of military power, which made him very satisfied.

After all, Liu Bu is his eldest son. In this era, the eldest son has the highest status, and Liu Yuanqiao also places high hopes on him. He does not live up to Liu Yuanqiao's expectations. His father and son get it from each other, and they still give Liu bu the right to be given.

For example, there is no doubt that he is the crown prince, ranking first among all civil and military officials. When the old cabinet and the six ministers meet Liu Bu, they have to kowtow and salute. All the guards of honor are just one level lower than Liu Yuanqiao.

Moreover, Liu Yuanqiao personally taught him how to govern the country. Although he was still feeling the stone to cross the river, it did not prevent him from teaching Liu Bu by words and deeds in such a name.

Although Liu Bu kept a low profile, he also showed a studious side. He learned what the emperor taught.

What the emperor refused was to hire a teacher to teach his son the collection of the book of songs and give him a scripture feast.

You should know that the emperors of the previous dynasty, even if they were already the son of heaven, had to invite the scholars of the Imperial Academy to teach them reading and knowledge. The emperor often held Scripture banquets in his busy schedule and invited famous scholars to give lectures. This studious spirit was praised by most other officials.

The emperor Xizong of the former dynasty did not eat this set at all. He went to play when he was free. He went to eat, drink and play or do carpentry. He had no mind to study and learn. This was criticized by the court ministers. He was very unhappy.

Liu Bu doesn't want to study any more. He can't take the imperial examination now. He doesn't want to learn any profound knowledge. Why do he learn so much knowledge when the world is down? At most, it's just to understand the memorial.

Moreover, after Liu came to power, many memorials and military newspapers tried to use vernacular, the simpler the better.

For this! Liu Yuanqiao was helpless. Liu Bu didn't want to learn from her before. Now no one forced her to go into the water. He didn't want to. Others really couldn't help him. It's time to force him to study?

The key is that Liu Bu knows how to be measured. He asks the emperor for instructions in almost everything. He is not good at expertise.

Liu Yunqiao is very satisfied with this. It doesn't matter whether he reads or not. The important thing is that he can be a man, do things, and know how to advance and retreat. Liu Bu doesn't want to, and Liu Yuanqiao doesn't mean to force him.

It's just that Liu Bu is like this, which inevitably makes these ministers feel bitter. The emperor is not easy to learn and is unwilling to learn the way of saints. This is not a good thing. If he doesn't understand the way of saints and benevolence and forgiveness, how can he govern the world? Make all the people in the world suffer.

On this point, the ministers did not hesitate to write to the emperor immediately, pointing out that even as an emperor, they should also learn the way of saints and the way of benevolence and forgiveness of saints, which can benefit the common people.

The emperors of the previous dynasty, even if they worked hard and tired, did not dare to say that they could not hold a scripture feast and learn the way of saints.

Now, Liu's father and son sit in the world, that is, they show their true colors and have no respect for saints. Can such people govern the country, govern the world and the people all over the world have a good life?

But today's Chinese empire is not the Ming Dynasty in the past. Today's Chinese Empire has less power to speak of officials than before.

Moreover, because of the change of dynasties and the change of those in power, the influence of these writers in front of the emperor has also been greatly reduced.

Now the emperors and princes pay more attention to practical interests, who can get money and who can get greater benefits, and they don't care about the way of sages, which makes ministers and moral gentlemen lament that kings value profits rather than benevolence and righteousness. This is the beginning of the world that will suffer!

But no matter how the ministers criticize, Liu Bu and his son do not bird them, they still follow their own course. I am the emperor and has the final say.

At present, there is no place where these ministers have the least confidence than the Chongzhen emperor of the previous dynasty, who obeyed them, resulting in the destruction of the country.

Liu Bu's father and son can confidently say that even if everything is obedient to you and listens to the words of saints, the country has perished. What should we do?

The emperor raised such a question. Even if these ministers could speak skillfully, they could not say him. The facts were in front of him. It was cunning to say more.

Liu Bu made it a rule that the princess could choose her husband from among the princes and ministers. The husband selected was liupin's son-in-law and Duwei, who enjoyed the salary of the imperial court all his life. At the same time, if the son-in-law and Duwei had the ability, they could be officials and join the army, and their relatives could also be officials and politics without any obstruction, which was completely different from the Ming Dynasty of the previous dynasty.

I know that in the great Ming Dynasty of the former dynasty, since this article was formulated, those ambitious aristocratic sons and talented talents are reluctant to be the Royal son-in-law, because being the Royal son-in-law means that there is no way to be an official and there is no hope for the family. The position of prince-in-law is only suitable for people who eat, drink and die.

Liu Bu doesn't know what trouble he will bring in the future, but he thinks that even if there will be trouble, it is limited. Since he is an emperor, he must give his children the best things, not even ordinary people.

Moreover, the Liu family and his son are also discussing a more serious problem, which is what kind of system should be implemented in the future Chinese dynasty.

The great Ming Dynasty of the former dynasty implemented the system of enfeoffment, and it was also the fourth dynasty in Chinese history to implement enfeoffment. The dynasties that implemented enfeoffment in history basically easily brought turmoil, and the Ming Dynasty was no exception.

In the second generation, the war of Jingnan took place. After that, although the vassal system was improved, so that local vassal kings no longer controlled military power and political power, it still became a great burden for local governments.

In the Ming Dynasty, however, where there were vassal kings stationed, the local taxes basically tried their best to supply the vassal kings. They were unable to supply the imperial court, which made the imperial court miserable.

Among the many taxes of Daming's income, it is necessary to take a large part to supply the salaries of many vassal kings. Many people say that if the imperial court does not have to take out so much money to support these vassal kings, life will be much better.

But the royal family doesn't like to hear such words.

The whole world belongs to the royal family. You should offer the resources of the whole world to the people of the royal family. What's the bullshit of supplying the royal family? Even the royal family doesn't offer it. Who else does it offer it to?

Therefore, Liu Bu and his son are also discussing whether their prince should implement the enfeoffment system or other systems in the future.

Of course, this problem is not very urgent. They can let it go first. Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the enfeoffment system because when he was emperor, he had more than a dozen sons and was still giving birth. The Liu family is different. There are only three men in the Liu family. When it comes to enfeoffment, it is a little redundant. It is estimated that they are worried, There is no question of an heir.
