Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 372 It was all deceived by Marquis Qu Ni

Liu Chang did not expect that the opposition of the ministers would be so fierce.

When Liu Jing was escorted into the hall, he saw the blood all over him, and his anger almost swallowed Liu Chang, but Liu Jing was still shouting, "What did you stop me for?! I just stabbed me. One sword!! Only one sword was stabbed!"

It was not the ministers in the court who came to surround Liu Jing's mansion. The ministers in the court did not dare to do such a thing, especially when Liu Chang was in power, the besiegers were imperial students. These people gathered at the gate of Liu Jing's mansion. He accused Liu Jing of "disordering the world and breaking the rituals and music", but Liu Jing obviously wouldn't get used to them, so he directly fought them and hurt people.

Liu Jing was only rubbed on his leg and did not suffer any serious injuries.

It's just that this kind of nature is a little different. Chasing after the minister's mansion to abuse and directly taking the sword to the minister is completely different in nature.

The great Han is rich in martial arts, and the literati of the great Han are also very sturdy. Cao Can, Shen Tujia, Zhou Bo, Ji Bu, Luan Bu are all "on horses to fight, dismount to govern the country", there is no literati who does not wear swords, and engages in academic debates with each other At that time, it was also quite lively, and without any martial arts, it was impossible to go to study.

The same is true of the scribes called by the students.

Liu Chang sat in the upper position, and most of the important ministers came together. At this moment, looking at Liu Jing who was limping, all the ministers were silent, and something big was going to happen.

The atmosphere was very solemn. Facing the gazes of the ministers, Liu Jing respectfully bowed towards Liu Chang Possession.

"Your Majesty! Please rule the sin of the minister!"

"What's your guilt?"

"The minister committed the crime of wounding."

"Forgive you not guilty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Please, Your Majesty, take care of Bo Fuqiu's crime!"

"What's wrong with Bo Fu Qiu?"

"Sin of lax discipline!"

"Come here, bring Uncle Fu Qiu!"

The ministers were surprised to find that when Liu Chang was serious, he still had the style of an emperor. Every word he said was very imposing. While waiting for Uncle Fu Qiu, Wang Tianqi got up and brought Liu Jing to this side. What happened, including the number of students, the time to arrive at Liu Jing's mansion, the process of fighting, the results of casualties, etc., after reporting, Wang Tianqi handed over many relevant performances to Liu Chang, and Liu Chang earnestly. After watching for a long time, he just nodded.

"Liu Gong, what Wang Tingwei said, is there any omission?"

"There are no gaps."

Liu Chang nodded, then looked at the surrounding ministers, wondering what he was thinking, he suddenly asked, "Why isn't the commander of the Shaofu here?"

"Your Majesty, the young man is seriously ill and is recovering in the mansion, so he cannot come."

Zhou Chang stepped forward to report, Liu Chang sighed, and asked, "Zhou Xiang thinks, how should this matter be dealt with?"

"The first evil should be punished, and the Taixue should be rectified."

Liu Chang's face was very calm. He just looked at the ministers in front of him. With a thoughtful look, Zhang Budo hurriedly stood up and said angrily, "Your Majesty! The purpose of these Confucian scholars is not to hurt Duke Liu, they are Opposing His Majesty's government is like conspiracy, and I think that when dealing with these Confucian scholars, we should burn their books and trap them all."

"Cough cough cough~~~"

Zhaoping coughed violently, almost coughing out his lungs, forcibly interrupting Zhang Wuxuan's words.

"This matter cannot be said to be the fault of Confucian scholars."

"Why is it not the fault of a Confucian scholar? The leader is clearly a Confucian scholar, and Fu Qiu Bo, who is in charge of Taixue, is also a Confucian!"

"This is Confucianism openly expressing its dissatisfaction with Your Majesty! Your Majesty's kindness has given these cheap Confucians a chance to take advantage!"

Zhang Budo spoke decisively.

Zhao Ping glanced at this fellow, this fellow obviously wanted to change the nature of the incident, from the imperial student assassinating Jiuqing to Confucianism against the emperor's order, and openly found Confucianism to take the blame, pushing Confucianism into the pit , but also to nail the coffin board firmly.

Zhang Budo is not stupid. If he was stupid, he would not have become the third prince at this age. Among Liu Chang's benefactors, who lived more nourishing than him? ?

But Zhaoping still called off Zhang Budo's crazy idea, and he reminded: "No doubt, if Uncle Fuqiu knew that such a thing would happen, he would not condone them. Many of the Taixue are from Shusuntong. Disciples, Shusun Tong is also an important minister of the country."

Zhaoping thought it was obvious that His Majesty is now using Shusuntong to conduct county studies. Most of the people in charge of this matter are Confucians. For the time being, we cannot let Confucians take the blame, His Majesty still uses it! !

Zhang Buxuan changed the subject and said, "Yes! Uncle Suntong is in charge of indoctrination, and all the sects are very jealous. They want to steal this matter from the Confucianists. Previously, when His Majesty wanted to write textbooks, the various sects were arguing. It became a group, perhaps, a certain school hated Confucianism, and this sent people to instigate Confucian students to do such absurd things!"

"However, which school is driving it?"

The faces of the ministers changed greatly, and they all began to explain the school they valued. The original assassination of Jiuqing jumped directly to the school dispute. Zhao Ping hesitated for a moment, and did not interrupt Zhang Budo, which is acceptable. .

"What does this have to do with the school dispute! At the feet of the emperor, someone assassinated Jiuqing! Or because of the release of the official slave! This has nothing to do with the school dispute! It's just that some people don't want to let the temple release the official slave!!!"

Zhou Chang angrily rebuked, directly interrupting the performance of the ministers.

Zhou Chang looked at Liu Jing, then looked at Liu Chang, and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Liu was murdered by a traitor, this matter must be strictly investigated, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be arrested, and it must not be a matter of school disputes. Zhang Budo and others have bad intentions and can be punished!"

At this time, Bo Fu Qiu was finally brought in.

Uncle Fu Qiu's expression didn't look very good. He looked at Liu Jing not far away. After watching for a long time, he looked at Liu Chang, possessed himself and bowed, and said, "Please forgive those students who made mistakes, Your Majesty. ."

This remark immediately ignited Liu Chang's anger, and he sneered, "Forgiveness? I sent someone to call you, do you think it is to reward you as a court officer?"

That is to say, Bo Fuqiu has a very good relationship with Liu Chang on weekdays, and Liu Changcai did not directly attack the old dog.

Bo Fu Qiu shook his head, and he sighed, "The students of Tai Xue have been deceived. Someone previously claimed in Tai Xue that Liu Jing played on it, saying that the older officials and slaves are useless, they should be driven out and left to fend for themselves. Another person said that Liu Jing proposed to give all the servants the title of nobility, and to divide the house and field of his main family, wives and concubines. Another person said that Liu Jing proposed to register all the servants into the agricultural register and re-measure the original land. give them to farm"

"There are rumors all over the place, all of which are aimed at Duke Liu. The students believed it to be true, so they went to his mansion. As for why they fought, I don't know."

Zhou Chang said angrily: "This is someone who secretly instigated and wanted to oppose the government of the emperor!"

Uncle Fu Qiu didn't speak any more, but Liu Chang heard something unusual.

"Where is Wang Tianqi?"

"Chen is here!"

"I want you to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"only!"

"Uncle Fuqiu is not strict, he thought about it in the mansion!"

"only."

Liu Chang looked at everyone, "Some people don't want to lose their retainers, so they try to oppose me. Very good, pass my edict, set up official membership, and incorporate all the ministers in the world into the nationality, who would dare Hidden, clan slaughter! In addition, abolish the original rules for the ministers, no longer restrict them from sue, make friends, drink alcohol, and allow them to transfer their nationalities and continue to appoint them when they go out, they must negotiate with them, draw up an agreement at the official government, and inform Yue The amount of money in a year of money is only used for appointments.”

"The number of people who can be appointed by different titles should also be limited. Violators will be executed according to their arrogance!"

"No longer can't be beaten and killed by the retainers and vassals. It is equivalent to the common people"

Liu Chang said the original idea of ​​walking in six steps at one time, completely giving the ministers no chance to think.

The ministers were stunned at the moment.

Only then did Liu Chang look at Zhang Budo, "No doubt, you will handle this matter in person. Whoever dares to object, whoever dares to play it, you can execute it on the spot, you don't have to ask me first!"

"only!!!"

Zhang Budo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked at Zhaoping, "What does Duke Zhao think about this policy?"

"very good."

Zhang Budo's eyes darkened, and he looked a little disappointed.

But Zhang Budo's conversation scared the surrounding officials to the point of not even persuading them. Who didn't know that this fellow really dared to kill people. In the silence, Chang Liu forcibly announced the decree. Going down, Zhou Chang is still a little dizzy at the moment. He thought that the only thing Liu Chang didn't tell him was the release of officials and slaves. Now it seems that His Majesty has hidden a lot. As for the words just now, His Majesty will definitely discuss it. for a long time.

The ministers left in despair, and only Liu Jing was left behind.

"Your Majesty. I bid farewell."

Liu Jing was about to leave, but Liu Chang rushed in front of him a few steps and grabbed his collar. Liu Jing was almost lifted up by Liu Chang.

"Broken my plan! What are you trying to do?!"

Liu Jing was stunned, he looked at Liu Chang blankly, "What do you mean by Your Majesty?"

"What do you mean?? Most of the rumors in Taixue are in line with the truth, but they have been distorted from the original meaning. Among them, there is actually the question of origin. Heh, even Zhang Budo doesn't know about this matter, so Only the fourth brother knows, you, me, and Chen Ping, you say, who sent someone to Taixue? Is it me or my fourth brother?!"

Liu Jing was taken aback, "Probably Chen Hou."

"Chen Ping?? Oh, will Chen Ping leave such an obvious handle when he does things? You underestimate him too!"

"You deliberately angered the students who came to surround you, let them hurt you first, and then counterattack is to use this incident to suppress those opponents, anger me, and let me do my best to handle this matter, right?! "

"I am this minister."

Liu Jing suddenly started stammering, not knowing how to explain, "The minister did have a quarrel with them at the time, but these things are not the minister's place."

Liu Chang pushed, and Liu Jing suddenly fell to the ground, "Don't do it again!!"

Liu Jing stood up, without explaining any further, bowed three times to Liu Chang, and turned to leave.

Just after Liu Jing left, Liu Heng hurried in.

"Eldest brother!! What are you doing?!"

Liu Heng was still playing in Chang'an with great interest, but when he suddenly heard about Liu Jing's assassination, he hurried to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the palace, he learned of what happened in the temple from the ministers. This made Liu Heng pale in shock and almost ran all the way here.

Seeing the fourth brother like this, Liu Chang didn't panic at all, waved his hand and let Liu Heng sit down.

"Eldest brother, it's these ministers who really want to do things. They don't want to. You just want to implement it. Do you know what the consequences will be? Besides, you have to do so many things at the same time. If one thing goes wrong, You lose everything!"

"Why can't you bear it?"

"Fourth Brother!!"

Liu Chang raised his head and interrupted Liu Heng's complaint.

"That's your style of doing things, but it doesn't really apply to things like this. The longer you delay, the more useless it will be. As long as you don't do it thoroughly, it's all for nothing. Brother always thinks a lot, always I want to arrange everything before doing it, but things will always change, and I will do it for him when I can!"

"If the ministers dare to neglect, they will cut off their heads! If the wealthy dare to oppose, then they will seize their homes! I don't believe it, I have [-] officials, and I can't find anything to do this thing well. Once the matter is done, there will be no shortage of people in your state of Wu. There will be hundreds of thousands more people, and you can appoint all these people, let them farm, and collect their taxes!"

"Drag to and fro, what can be done?!"

Liu Heng sighed deeply, "Eldest brother, you are too impatient. How could such a major matter be resolved by an edict?"

"One edict can't solve it, but one edict plus a million troops, plus another Huaiyin Marquis, can solve it!"

"I want to see, who dares to stop what I am determined to do!"

Liu Heng didn't know what to say, he just shook his head bitterly, looking worried, but Liu Chang grinned stupidly at this moment, "Brother, why do you worry? You once said that you should divide it into six steps, with 30 years But who knows if we can live for 30 years? If we are gone, will our children follow our ideas? If not, then we will do it Isn't it all in vain?"

"It's better to do it yourself. Even if I make a mistake, I can correct it. I just don't like to leave today's things for tomorrow!"

"More than that, you can't wait to do all the things of the day after tomorrow"

"Eldest brother, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, otherwise it's easy to choke."

"Fourth brother, when I open my mouth, I can eat a bowl of rice in one bite, and I have never choked."

Watching Liu Chang use the ancestral bar, Liu Heng let him go.

"If you do this, I'm afraid that you will be completely disgusted by the ministers. I don't know what Taishi has to say about you. You don't care about your reputation at all. Alas, you are really going to become a tyrant."

"How can he say what he likes, I don't care about this, did the ministers love me very much before? As for the tyrant hahaha, fourth brother, don't say it, it's better to be a tyrant, do whatever you want, and be squeamish. The virtuous gentleman you pinch, let it be done for future generations!"

"In this big Han world, who can limit me?!"

Just as Liu Chang was bragging, Lu Lu rushed in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother summons!"

"Mum. This is what Chen Ping's servant told me to do. Really, I don't want to be in such a hurry, but Qu Nihou said that if he didn't do it, he would be in big trouble. I also believed his nonsense, and , Mr. Liu was injured so badly, seeing him injured like this, I really can't bear it, auntie, if I care, I will be confused, and it has nothing to do with me."

Elder Liu honestly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, seriously reflecting on his own faults.

Empress Lu didn't know the virtue of the Shuzi in front of her, she just kept her face straight and listened to his nonsense here.

"Can you manage the big man well with your rashness?"

"I didn't do it on a whim. I wanted to do this a long time ago, but there was no chance. The fourth brother thought too much, looked forward and backward, and insisted on coming up with the safest way. He said 30 years. Who knows if I can do it?" If you live another 30 years, it is better to do it for him now, and spend 30 years to slowly correct it, it is better than doing nothing!"

"Then you said just now that you were bewitched by Chen Ping?"

"Cough, no, my mother heard it wrong!"

Liu Chang's eyes were rounded, his face was sincere, and his face was not red.

"You gave Zhang Budo too much power. Let him deal with the minister at will, aren't you afraid that he will kill the temple?!"

"Don't be afraid. I also arranged a deputy for him."

"Hehe, which deputy can hold him down?!"

"Zhang Liang."

"You asked Liuhou to be this Shuzi's deputy?!!"

"yes."

Empress Lu was silent for a moment, this Shuzi really had a plan.

Liu Chang hurriedly interrupted the topic, "Mother, in fact, this incident still highlights a problem, that is, the blockage of information, and many good governance in temples have been misinterpreted and spread to the students of Taizhou. The students are all like this, so what about the place? I think, we must find a way to let everyone know what the temple's policy is. First, it can avoid this incident, and secondly, it can also prevent officials from secretly to tamper with."

"What are you going to do?"

"Mum. Do you know that the temple sends newspapers to various places?"

"Oh? You want to send a newspaper to the world?"

This mansion is an institution in the temple. It is stationed here by people from various counties and counties. They will transcribe the affairs of the temple and let the messengers send them to their place. This report is called the Dibao. This system is in It was created by Emperor Gao in order to better manage distant counties.

Liu Chang said, "Now that there is paper and Shang Fang can print it, why can't he make a newspaper for the world to read?"

"I've already figured out what to do!"

Liu Chang grinned, "At that time, my mother will definitely be surprised!"

Empress Lu was also used to her son's various novel ideas, so she didn't ask questions. She knew that her son seemed reckless, but he would never do anything he was not sure about. This kind of personality was very similar to Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao. He was in a hurry to do anything, and he was a little overjoyed. If nothing else, he even thought about exterminating all the Huns in his own time, so that he would never have trouble in the future. People rushed up to meet the Huns.

When many local policies were implemented, this was also the case, directly forcing the temple to pass, and many times, Xiao He could not persuade him.

On the contrary, Liu Heng did not have the style of Emperor Gao, and his work style was more partial to Empress Lu.

Such a vicious style of doing things requires a specific premise, that is, there must be a group of fierce people under the account, otherwise, the world simply cannot bear it.
