Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 736 You Are Really Thoughtful

"Your Majesty's actions are really not the actions of a Mingjun. There are obviously more appropriate methods, so why do this?!"

"Your Majesty!! Doctor Yu Shi refused to accept my appeal and imprisoned me innocently! Humiliate the meritorious general!"

When Liu Heng frowned and reprimanded his perverse little brother, Chai Qi fully performed the mission that Liu Chang entrusted to him, dispersed the firepower, and bit back.

Liu Chang frowned, and said displeasedly: "You were only imprisoned for a period of time, why did you say such an exaggeration?"

Liu Heng kept a straight face and did not speak. As early as when he saw Liu Chang bringing the two of them, Liu Heng already understood what Liu Chang was thinking. Outstanding talent. Liu Heng ignored Chai Qi at all, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better think about how to deal with the aftermath. The harm you caused in various places this time is really too great."

As His Majesty's No. [-] dog leg, Zhu Fuyan couldn't stand such a reprimand.

"Does the censor know what he's talking about?!"

"Your Majesty punished lawless traitors in Tang, suppressed thieves in Xia, eliminated incompetent ministers in Zhao, eliminated famous people who opposed the temple in Liang, and eliminated evil clans in Pei County. These actions, Which one is harmful to the temple? If you officials are useful, His Majesty will not do these things in person!! Now you are talking about the aftermath, what is the aftermath?!"

Liu Heng said solemnly: "Tang and Xia countries are all right, but His Majesty took away a large number of ministers in Zhao State and humiliated them face to face. Now there are a large number of official vacancies in Zhao State, which has also caused many officials to complain. Resignation, this is one of them. Forcing the killing of celebrities in Liang State has indeed solved the problem of celebrities fighting against temples. However, this move also caused turmoil in Liang State, and even ruined Liang State’s reputation. Now Liang people are outside , was ridiculed everywhere, and everyone said that the only one who is not in Liang is trying to force Liang people to renounce?!"

"The most serious thing is in Pei County. Your Majesty beat and killed the clan in public. People with the same surname below Zongzheng are all extremely dissatisfied with His Majesty's behavior. Under the high emperor's system, Zongzheng is required to deal with the clan. How can there be any reason to kill in the street?! "

Zhu Fuyan reprimanded again: "Pedantry!"

"It is because the domestic ministers are all pedantic ideas like you, looking forward and backward, that led to so many traitors. Now that His Majesty has solved these things for you, you still have to reprimand His Majesty for acting violently. How can you do that?! You are not a minister !!"

Liu Chang couldn't help but secretly pulled the father Yan.

I asked you to share the firepower, but don't say too much, if you really anger him later, it will not end well.

After all, Liu Heng is not Chao Cuo, he has a very high self-cultivation and strong endurance, even in the face of such a rude father Yan, he can not get angry.

"Your Majesty, hurry up to appease Zhao, Liang, and the clan. To govern the country, sometimes you need to cut through the mess quickly, but appeasement is also indispensable. The best principle is to combine strength and softness. Blindly use strong governance to govern, It will cause a lot of unnecessary troubles, and you may not care about these troubles, but when these things accumulate to a certain extent, when it is safe or moved, I am afraid it will be different. .”

Liu Chang felt troubled when he heard it, so he waved his hand casually.

"I've done everything, so what trouble does he have? If anyone dares to say that he is dissatisfied with me, I will kill him all, so that no one will dare to be dissatisfied!"

"Your Majesty can make them afraid to express their dissatisfaction in the face, can it also make them afraid to think in their hearts? Does Your Majesty know the story of Lu Yimu?!"

"I am the heir of a military family! I don't know any allusions!"

Liu Chang turned his head and decided to ignore the advice of the doctor Yushi.

Liu Heng suddenly laughed and nodded, "If you say that, then I know what to do."

Liu Heng eased off his three official ranks, and told the soldiers: "Go out, stand outside the hall, and don't allow anyone to approach!",

He blasted Chai Qi and Zhu Fuyan out.

Liu Chang was a little surprised, "Fourth Brother, what are you going to do?"

"If you don't listen to me as a censor, I will advise you as your elder brother. The eldest brother and the second brother are not here, and the third brother is in Zhao and Chang'an. I am the oldest. You're not going to appease them, are you?"

Seeing that the fourth brother was about to take off his shoes, Liu Chang was dumbfounded.

"Fourth brother, you have always been the most gentle, why did you start doing this? Beating up the emperor is strictly prohibited by the Han law!!"

"Beating the emperor is illegal, but it's always right to discipline your younger brother in private, right? Don't worry, after discipline, I will truthfully inform my mother about the situation."

Liu Chang immediately decided to wave his hand, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, I didn't say I was not appeased, why are you so impulsive? As a king, the last thing you can't do is to be anxious. It's the best way to combine strength and softness. How can you flip a shoe and hit someone when you disagree? Such a foolish king is not good."

"I'll ask you, is it good or not?!"

Liu Chang was very stubborn, hitting his chest, "I, Liu Chang, stand upright, and if I say that the aftermath is the aftermath, what are you going to do?!"

Seeing this mighty and unyielding younger brother, Liu Heng sat down in front of Liu Chang again.

"First of all, there are vacancies in Zhao State. We must arrange officials as soon as possible. Zhao Wang has a good reputation in Zhao State. We must instruct Zhao Wang to go to the homes of those rich families and select outstanding young people from their clan to come to Chang'an to take up positions. Doctor, in addition, Yuan An came to demote and promote secretly, just let those people see your attitude, I have a few candidates here, who can be Yuan An's deputy."

Liu Heng seriously talked about his own thoughts, he said: "The situation in Zhao State is the most special among all the countries. Their traditional concepts are very deep, and they are still practicing the spring and autumn righteousness. It is very deep, so I am very dissatisfied with Yuan An, the powerful minister of the country, and I am inclined to King Zhao. This time, you directly hollowed out those traditional Zhao officials, and you sent a dozen or so ministers directly back to Chang'an In fact, you don’t have to be so anxious, there is obviously a better solution, but it’s too late to say anything, since you have done it, then quickly complete the aftermath and adjust the overall thinking of Zhao Guo.”

"I recommend someone to assist Yuan An. The one I recommend is Han Ying, a great Confucian. He was in charge of Emperor Xiaoren's funeral. He performed very well and was proficient in Confucianism. He advocated loyalty to the emperor and the country. He has many disciples and is very popular with the local people. The local people all agree with his idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, but he is only narrowly loyal to Zhao Jun. After being awakened by the prince, this person's idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor has been further developed. Zhao Guo, who can guide the local customs and ideas”

Liu Chang listened very seriously, listening to the fourth brother's explanation, his eyes were full of admiration.

My brother is so strong! !Why didn't I think of it?

Liu Heng has his own talent in this area. He sees things very clearly and can see through them at a glance. When Liu Chang looked at Zhao Guo, he felt that these ministers were a little bit wrong. Just Yuan An is a normal person.

But when Liu Heng looked at Zhao Guo, he could see the opposition between the local idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and the centralization of the temple.

"In less than three years, the situation in Zhao State will definitely change a lot. We need to attract more people from Zhao State to enter Chang'an, divide their forces, and reduce the impact of the original narrow idea."

Liu Chang thought for a while, Zhao Guo is really like this, when his fatuous father went to Zhao Guo, it was because he didn't respect his brother-in-law enough, so he used the Ji to sit, and the ministers of his brother-in-law directly conspired against him in private and wanted to kill him. My father and brother-in-law didn't even know about it, so they were almost killed.

Those ministers under Liu Ruyi's command instigated him to rebel every day. In fact, they didn't necessarily want him to be the emperor. The main reason was that they didn't want their own king to be wronged. Now that the environment is unified, it’s no wonder that in history, the king of Zhao was a high-risk occupation. Whoever goes up will die, and a group of ministers instigated him. Who can live well?Only a ruthless person like Liu Chang who is suitable to be the king of Zhao can be united and united to start a great cause of rebellion.

"Then it's Liang Guo's problem."

"How can you say something like Wei Bu Zai Liang?! Are you trying to take the lead in causing discrimination against Liang Guo? Why don't you use other methods to get rid of those famous people? There are so many ways to kill without blood, Do you have to use this method to solve it? You solved it quickly. There are more than [-] famous people who committed suicide alone. The famous people can no longer lead the public opinion in Liang. But the problem is that Liang Guo’s style of writing has been beaten by you No, how could Liangren not complain in his heart?"

"The way now is to direct this resentment and dissatisfaction to those celebrities."

"Turn all countries' discrimination against Liang Guo into discrimination against those famous people who are against the temple, and prevent Liang Guo from becoming eccentric. You can go to Lu Jia later and ask Lu Jia to criticize the actions of those famous people in the newspaper." , write more outstanding talents in Liang, use more articles by Liang Guo literati, and tell stories about these talents being suppressed by Liang Guo celebrities, so that people all over the world feel that Liang Guo people are victims. Celebrities are suppressed, let Liang Guo’s talents not be treated differently in different places, and I will tell you how to make up such stories if you feel compassion.”

Liu Chang listened carefully and nodded hastily.

"I recommend a person to go to Liang State to do these things. Sima Jizhu, who was in charge of teaching the prince, is very good at debating and creating momentum. Let him go to Liang State and ask him to promote the local young talents and accept those young people as disciples. , and at the same time publish more articles to criticize those celebrities for letting him stay for three or four years, the atmosphere in Liang State will be different, and the attitudes of all places towards Liang State will also change suddenly, and celebrities will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Liang State.”

"Okay, okay, fourth brother, where is Pei County?"

"The matter in Pei County is not special. It is mainly a matter of the big clan. Those who followed my father to make contributions, their clans are now very powerful, and strictly speaking, they do not belong to the scope of the powerful, that is, migration. Who dares to let them relocate? They are a family of meritorious service. If you force them to relocate, it will chill the hearts of the meritorious officials. You can't force General Xia Houying's family? You can't force Xiao Xiang's family? The clan is just The largest clan in the area, so the resistance is the fiercest."

"I've thought about it for a long time. If I want to deal with these big clans and prevent them from using their power to do anything wrong, I still have to follow what I said, abandon hereditary inheritance, and set up a system of no military merit reduction. But this system is not good yet. To implement it, we must first reform the system, and start to implement it when the inside and outside are at peace. The opposition to this order must be the greatest, but the relationship is also the most important. As for the aftermath, I will not bother you, I will come forward Come to appease the clan."

"As for Napei County, let me recommend someone for Xia Wuqie to go there. He taught his disciples there before and saved many people. He has a great reputation. Letting him sit in Pei County can't play other roles. But it can appease the common people, and it is also beneficial to Chao Cuo's work."

Liu Chang wrote down all these words, "Fourth Brother! I know everything!"

Liu Heng let out a long sigh, "Master, you can't just do things in a hurry, you have to be considerate and prudent. Cutting out the branches but not the roots is a useless policy!"

"As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, you must be especially cautious. Your every move will have a huge impact. If it is a good influence, it is fine. If it is bad, it will be a big deal. Do you know why I always have to persuade you? Are you frugal?"

"In order not to waste?"

"It's because of your influence. Your current achievements are already unmatched by anyone. The kings of future generations will definitely be proud of you and will follow your actions. If you are diligent and thrifty, then the kings of later generations will be proud of you." Diligence and thrift are one of your own virtues, at least when they are extravagant and dissipated, there will be ministers who will use you as an example to persuade them. This is a great event that will benefit the future, don’t you want future generations to be like you?"

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly became agitated.

"Brother, is my current achievement really incomparable??"

Liu Heng was silent for a long time.

"Straight!!!"

"You remember this paragraph after I said so much, right?!"

The fourth brother left the Hall of Houde, and then the left and right ministers came.

The two came to report state affairs.

Zhang Cang is old at last.

After maintaining the same appearance for decades, this immortal figure finally started to look a little stooped. The tall body became smaller and wrinkled. It was no longer as tough as before. And language also started to become a bit sluggish.

However, this is not surprising, because the prime minister of the Han Dynasty is 90 years old this year.

If at this age, he can still be as energetic as before, then everyone should be afraid.

As the oldest minister in the temple, Zhang Cang can always make people ignore his age subconsciously. After all, he looks no different from other veteran ministers now. In the eyes of outsiders, he is actually in his 70s look like.

"The restructuring has been completed and divided into sects, Shangshu and Zhongshu."

"The order under the sect is called the order of the minister of the minister, and the order of the secretary is called the order."

"The censor is still in the old system, not within the three provinces."

"Take Zhang Buyi as the servant of the Zhongshu, and the veteran will receive the Zhongshu's order by himself, and Lu Jia will lead the minister's servant to shoot."

Liu Chang nodded, then woke up suddenly, and asked, "What about my master? What is he doing?"

Zhang Cang replied calmly: "Naturally, he will serve as the Sangong. The Sangong is still established as an honor given to officials, and no longer holds real power. The Jiuqing are all subordinated to the Shangshufu and set up various Caos."

"Then you are now the Prime Minister of the State to receive the order of Zhongshu?"

"good."

"This is really troublesome."

"Your Majesty, it seems troublesome, but in fact it has made a detailed division of many different official positions, so that there will be no more chaos in governance and superposition of powers."

In the new system, the biggest victim became Han Xin, who was deprived of military management rights. Zhang Cang set up Shangshu Military Department Cao to be in charge of the army, and Shangshu Military Department Cao was in charge of Zhou Yafu.However, the Taiwei is still the highest military officer in the Han Dynasty. He is responsible for serving as the emperor's military adviser, making suggestions for the world's wars, and has a high position and authority. However, the transfer and promotion of generals, the transportation of grain and grass, and other matters are no longer managed by him.

At present, Jiuqing has not been completely reformed, but only the change of Sangong has been completed.

If Jiuqing is changed to Cao, Luan Bu, the internal historian, will become the Cao of the Ministry of Agriculture, Xuan Moru may become the Cao of the Ministry of Punishment, and Lu Jia should have been the Cao of the Ministry of Rites. Since he is going to receive the Minister, the position may have to be replaced by someone else. take over.
Liu Chang scratched his head, and he didn't know whether such a change was a good thing for the big man.

Anyway, compared to the current system with chaotic powers and insufficient centralization, this is always a huge improvement.

Liu Chang cleared his throat, and said seriously to the two prime ministers in front of him: "I have found many problems when I went out this time, because the time is urgent, I can only take some urgent actions to solve them, but well, I still have to ask for help. To deal with the aftermath, for example, the situation in the Zhao Kingdom is the most special among all the countries, their traditional concepts are very deep, and they are still doing the Spring and Autumn Days."

Liu Chang slowly talked about his views, Zhao Guo, Liang Guo, Peijun and so on.

Zhang Buyi couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty is wise!!!"

Zhang Cang squinted his eyes involuntarily, he didn't even need to think, he knew whose mouth these words came from, of course, if His Majesty said he thought it himself, then it was his own thought.

"The minister will do the aftermath now?"

"it is good!"

"I'll leave it to you, the Prime Minister, to take care of it. Anyway, you can handle it!"

"only."

The two prime ministers got up to leave. Zhang Cang grabbed his crutches and stood up with difficulty. His movements were a little slow. Liu Chang was the first to support him and let him stand up.

"Teacher. You. Are you okay? If you feel tired and tired, I can let you rest."

As soon as Zhang Cang heard this, he took advantage of the situation and shook his crutches.

"Your Majesty!! My time is running out, I am willing to take a five-year vacation!!"

Seeing him like this, Liu Chang felt relieved.

It seems he's okay.
