"Zhong Yao."
"Your subject is here!"
"You're in charge of the country's laws, so I don't have anything else to give you.”
Liu Hong handed over the Emperor's Sword again and instructed,""I hope that the legal system will be fair and the people will have a place to cry out for injustice, the corrupt officials will be punished, and the powerful will be punished. Can you do that?”
"I will do my best!"
Zhong Yao held the Emperor's Sword high above his head with both hands. He dared not make any guarantees. There were countless Fa family members who could deal with commoners and officials, but it was difficult to deal with the powerful.
However…
How many swords does His Majesty have?
Jia Xu, the commander of the Royal Guards, had one, and Cao Cao, the governor of Liangzhou, had one. Together with his, this was the third.
Zhong Yao cursed inwardly, but he didn't show it. After all, it was the Son of Heaven's Sword, so it was fine as long as it worked.
"Cheng Yu."
"Your subject is here!"
"My Great Han lacks horses. You are in charge of the horse administration of the country. I cannot create horses out of thin air, but there is something that can reduce the loss of horses.”
Liu Hong took out the horseshoes that had been forged by the craftsmen from under the imperial table and chuckled."Horses are damaged mainly because their hooves break when they step on hard rocks. With this item, even if a horse steps on a mountain of blades and a sea of swords, it will remain intact.”
Horseshoes.
According to historical records, it first appeared around the Five Dynasties in our country. Liu Hong thought of it when he saw the imperial horse. He looked through the book and found that it indeed had the creative skills.
Due to the simplicity of the technique, a slightly good craftsman could easily forge it with a glance. This item was most suitable for Cheng Yu, the minister of Taipu Temple.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yu took the horseshoe and weighed it in his hand. It was quite heavy. He suppressed the doubt in his heart and expressed his gratitude.
He planned to try it on the horses when he returned. If it worked, the country would be lucky. If it didn't, he could just casually make a few to make His Majesty happy.
"Now, the stirrers of the war horses of the country are all single stirrers, right?”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yu nodded.
The use of single stirrers was for the convenience of getting on the horse. It had been used since the pre-Qin period for hundreds of years.
Was there a problem?
"In the future, the dynasty will use double stirrers and let the cavalry practice standing on the double stirrers to fight, just like stepping on the ground. Will it increase the combat strength of the dynasty's cavalry?”
Feeling a few probing gazes, Liu Hong pretended to be cool without leaving a trace. The double stirrers were the divine weapons of cavalry.
Cheng Yu thought about it seriously, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter. He felt that the possibility was very high, and he wished he could go back to the yamen to try it out right now.
When the dynasty fought with the grassland tribes, they suffered a loss in terms of riding skills. If they dismounted and fought, the hundred thousand palace guards could kill their way through the entire grassland.
If the double stirrers could really help stabilize the riding of horses in battle, it would undoubtedly bring the cavalrymen of the Central Plains and the cavalrymen of the grasslands back to the same starting line.
"Your Majesty is a genius!"
Cheng Yu praised from the bottom of his heart.
A few years ago, rumors spread that His Majesty was muddle-headed and immoral, but when he came into contact with horseshoes and stirrers, his thinking and structure of things were probably not comparable to that of ordinary craftsmen.
"This is a problem of perception.”
"Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong," Liu Hong said with a faint smile.”
"Your subject is here!"
"Your subject is here!"
The two brothers who looked particularly similar walked out and bowed. Their attitudes were extremely respectful.
Amongst the crowd, the two brothers were the most favored by the Emperor. They had jumped from commoners to censors who supervised the officials, their positions comparable to the nine ministers.
"The two of you are in charge of the Imperial Censorate. You are in charge of picketing, impeaching officials, and maintaining discipline.”
Liu Hong shook his head and smiled." My gift is to allow the Imperial Censorate to intervene in the administration of justice. It can set up a prison to accept special litigation cases."
Special set up the post of censor, with you two, two censors each day in turn to accept the lawsuit.
From now on, all major cases would be jointly tried by Yushitai, Dali Temple, and Jinyi Guards. Dali Temple would be responsible for interrogating criminals and drafting judgments, while Jinyi Guards would be responsible for reviewing them. At the same time, they would report to Yushitai for supervision and trial. How about that?”
"Your Majesty, even if the two of us die, it will be difficult for us to repay your kindness!”
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong wept and kowtowed.
With real power, the Yushitai was no longer comparable to the nine ministers, but equivalent to them.
With the special attribute of being able to report things, the Imperial Censorate's status was extremely high.
Xun Yu, Xun You, and the others looked at the weeping Zhang brothers and thought to themselves, The imperial court is going to be in turmoil.
His status was extraordinary.
It was a great threat to the civil and military officials.
It would be fine if it was a short time, but if it was a little longer, the Imperial Censorate and the civil and military officials would definitely be like fire and water, each seeing the other as a thorn in their flesh.
It was a small matter if they pinched each other, but it was not a big deal if they did not hit the dog's brain.
Now, he was counting on the fact that the Zhang brothers had strong bodies and could withstand the sinister moves of all the civil and military officials.
Under such great power, there was also a great crisis.
"Huang Zhong."
Liu Hong called out the last of the nine ministers. He had secretly sized them up before. They were eight feet tall and very burly. Their tiger eyes were burning as they stood there, emitting an imposing aura.
His hair bun and beard were mixed with a few strands of gray, making him feel even more reliable. He was the most suitable person to lead troops in battle.
"Your subject is here!"
"I have no gift for you."
"This subject can sit on the position of nine ministers because of Your Majesty's supreme kindness. This subject does not dare to have any more extravagant hopes!”
Huang Zhong knelt down on one knee and placed his right hand on his chest, giving Liu Hong a standard military salute.
His words were sonorous, proving that what he said was not false at all.
"Zhen did not give you a gift, but I have a gift for your son Huang Xu.”
"My son's body is weak. Even if His Majesty has a heavenly grace, I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy it!”
"Zhen's gift is to find the divine doctor who cured Huang Xu.”
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Huang Zhong suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open like copper bells. Ecstasy spread in his heart.
"You're not joking!"
" Yes." Liu Hong nodded and said seriously," If these two godly doctors can't cure Huang Xu's illness, then Huang Xu can only wait for death."”
"May I ask who is the divine doctor that Your Majesty is looking for?”
"Hua Tuo from Pei Country and Zhang Zhongjing, the former prefect of Changsha, who abandoned his official position to become a doctor.”
Liu Hong remembered that the two people who were later known as the " founder of surgery " and " Holy Doctor " had now become his subjects. He smiled and said,"Zhen has already ordered the Brocade Guard to find two divine doctors. They will soon arrive in Luoyang and be able to treat Huang Xu.”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The five bodies kowtowed three times.
Fresh blood flowed down Huang Zhong's forehead, but he was completely oblivious. He said in a clear voice,""Your Majesty's kindness, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to repay it in this life. In my next life, I'll repay it with grass in my mouth!”
Ding! Top-tier general Huang Zhong's loyalty has reached 100. Status: Until death!
