I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 502 What a wrong step, every step is wrong

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he returned to the team of courtiers as if nothing had happened, but his words deeply shocked the hearts of the emperor and the courtiers and ministers.

Today, Zhang Ji's words hit the nail on the head.

Although it is somewhat alarmist, once things develop in the direction Zhang Ji said, it will definitely be a disaster for generations for the imperial power and land division of the Han Dynasty!

Even if there is a slight possibility, this situation must be eliminated.

This is the bottom line of the country.

At this time, Situ Xun Shuang stood up slowly.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xun Shuang lowered his head and coughed violently, then tremblingly, he bowed his hands to Liu Bian to speak out.

"Your Majesty, what Zhang Jun said is very reasonable. There are some things that are beneficial in front of the eyes and harmful for thousands of years. You must not do it rashly. In this very season, every move, policy and policy of the court may affect The trend of the great man in the next hundred years cannot be neglected."

"Your Majesty, there are some things that require a lot of thinking and planning... You need to look farther."

After hearing this, Chunyujia felt very shameless.

He turned his head slowly, looked at Xun Shuang, and said, "The implication of Situ's words is that the old man doesn't see things far enough?"

Xun Shuang shook his head, and said: "Sikong's words are wrong. I always only target his affairs, not his people. You are all seeking the fortune of the country for the big man. Why should you stick to your words and deeds?"

Chunyu Jia was quite embarrassed when he heard the words, but facing Xun Shuang's sincere words, he had nothing to say.

"All right……"

Liu Bian suddenly said slowly: "Since that's the case, this Hanzhou... let's stand. Anyway, regardless of whether the territory of Hanzhou is good or bad, whether there is war or famine, everything will be taken care of by General Fuyuan, and the imperial court can do it." Forget about worrying, the general will benefit the country, and I will rely heavily on him!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bian looked at Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo thinks, is my statement appropriate?"

Now Liu Bian is not yet in power, so when encountering important matters, he still has to consult Dong Zhuo first.

Dong Zhuo stood up, bowed to Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty's words are very serious! It's doable!"

"My dear friends, do you have a different opinion?"

"Your Majesty's lesson!"

"Okay, since the Prime Minister and all the ministers have no support, let's set up the four counties of Hanzhou, and appoint Guan Yunchang as the shepherd of Hanzhou, and take charge of the military affairs of the four counties!"

At this moment, Dong Zhuo stood up and said to Liu Bian, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask for your Majesty's permission!"

"As the Prime Minister said."

Dong Zhuoyi sternly said: "Your Majesty listened to the government with the court, and governed the government with the ministers for several years. According to the old ministers, Your Majesty has the ability to govern the country. If we and other ministers continue to control the government and do not return the government to the emperor, it is a shame. The first emperor, it is an act of deceiving the emperor!"

"Now, please return the government to the emperor, and let your majesty preside over the government, so as to eliminate the suspicion of us being arbitrarily dictatorial."

Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction.

"The loyalty of the prime minister, the sun and the moon can learn from each other."

"What do you think about this?"

At that time, although the Thirteen Caos of the Prime Minister's Mansion monopolized most of the imperial court's military power, personnel affairs, appointment and dismissal of state pastors, etc., after the death of the first emperor, the gentry of the Jinwen Department of Gongqing, headed by Yang Biao and Wang Yun, regained control of Shangshutai. .

Although Dong Zhuo is in charge of military power, there are no people under him who can govern the country. The Thirteen Caos of the Prime Minister's Mansion can take power, but if he wants to govern, although Dong Zhuo has some gentry to help him, in the final analysis, they can't play a role. What a big deal.

Governing this huge country requires the assistance of the Gongqing Group.

Now Dong Zhuo wants the emperor to be in power... There is no doubt that once the emperor has too much power to speak, he will inevitably seek the power that the courtiers currently hold.

Especially Shangshutai, when the first emperor Liu Hong was alive, he used eunuchs and ministers to compete for the important position of Shangshutai. If Liu Bian also followed Liu Hong's old path, I am afraid that the nobles and nobles will have a headache in the future .

Doctor Guanglu Huang Wan stood up and said, "Your Majesty is young now, so you should concentrate on studying."

The implication is that it is not yet time for Liu Bian to fully control the government.

But Xun Shuang who was on the side said: "The quality of the world changes with the teaching. Your Majesty's progress does not have to be based on Dianmo."

After finishing speaking, Xun Shuang saluted Liu Bian tremblingly, "I implore Your Majesty to be in charge, old minister!"

The Xun family has a great influence in Ruying. Although the Xun family is a scholar family of modern literature, they are not rigidly attached to the camp of ancient and modern literature. On the contrary, they still highly respect certain views of ancient literature. It can be said that they are just like Zheng Xuan , I want to walk on this road that connects the ancient and modern classics.

In this way, in some political actions, it is difficult for the Xun family and the current Jinwen family to urinate in the same pot.

Huang Wan squinted at Xun Shuang, although he wanted to refute him, but when he thought of Xun Shuang's great name, and looked at Dong Zhuo not far away who was looking at him expectantly, he finally swallowed his words abdomen.

Huang Wan didn't speak, and others such as Wang Yun, Chunyu Jia, Yang Biao, Zheng Tai, Fu Qian, Han Rong and others were inconvenient to continue talking.

Liu Bian was very happy, he got up slowly, and said to everyone present: "I am now in charge of the government, so I should celebrate with the people and amnesty the world!"

Seeing that Liu Bian was going to pardon the world as soon as he came up, everyone couldn't help being very surprised.

"Why is Your Majesty doing this?"

Liu Bian said confidently: "There is a portrait of Yu's family that symbolizes the criminal law, but Li and common people did not commit crimes. Zhou people made mistakes and did not use them. From the end of a hundred kings, I am looking forward to the wind of the past. How far is it?"

"The more laws and regulations, the more criminals, the more criminal laws, but the rape is unstoppable,"

"According to the rules of the Great Pit, it is my sincerest intention to eliminate many thorns and think about the life of the people."

"From now on, some officials have suggested that the death of the prison be postponed, and that the beggars be lenient, and those who beg for favors may be punished by the prison before they are released. The death penalty is punishable by prison, not treason or murder by hand, urgently speaking about his own rule, and those who beg for favor, both envoys and memorial documents, I will think about it all. He will announce it to the world, so that I can understand my intention."

What Liu Bian said is not only to amnesty the world, but also to reduce the degree of punishment of the law, especially for death row prisoners. It is now required that all death penalty cases in the country that are not guilty of treason and homicide must be handed over to the central government. , re-processed by the unified arrangement of the emperor.

Obviously, this is to lower the standard of the death penalty, and use this method to show your benevolence and virtue!

All the ministers agreed to Liu Bian's words.

But the old Xun Shuang shook his head secretly.

Your Majesty... After all, you are still too young to be eager for success!

Xun Shuang is very clear about the reason why he came out like this as soon as he became pro-government.

But in front of all the officials, Xun Shuang couldn't point it out.

Forget it, let the kid go.

My life is not long... I can't control it, I can't control it.

……

……

The imperial court’s edict regarding the establishment of the four counties of Hanzhou and the approval of Guan Yu as the shepherd of Hanzhou came down. At the same time, Liu Jian also knew that the emperor was in charge of the government, amnesty the world, and reduced the punishment of the death penalty law. Determine the sentencing matter.

When the scouts reported the news to Liu Jian, sitting next to Liu Jian was Guo Jia who had just assumed the post of governor of Bingzhou.

After listening to the scout's report, Guo Jia seemed a little moved.

He sighed softly, shook his head with a smile, and then picked up a bowl of boiled tea on the table.

The current Guo Jia has actually given up drinking.

He followed Liu Jian's instructions, ate regularly, worked and rested regularly, quit all bad habits, and exercised regularly to ensure his health.

For this, Liu Jian was very pleased. He also listed Guo Jia as a model in front of his subordinates, and encouraged his soldiers to learn from Guo Jia.

Liu Jian told his subordinates that talents who can only make meritorious deeds are not real talents. Only those who know how to cherish their own lives, can maintain a healthy body, rarely get sick or even never get sick, and deal with every task assigned by them with a complete mental state. For a task, such a person is truly useful to him!

It is both useful and sustainable.

"Why is Fengxiao sighing?"

Let the scout go down to rest, and Liu Jian immediately asked Guo Jia.

"My lord, the last official is fine."

"Don't lie to me. Although you and I have known each other not long ago, we know each other well. You just heard that the emperor took charge of the government, amnesty the world, and commuted the death penalty. You sighed and sighed. I can see clearly."

"Could it be that the Son of Heaven is in charge, and for you, Guo Fengxiao, what kind of difficulties did it cause?"

Guo Jia laughed out loud on the spot.

"My lord said this, and Guo has never seen Tianyan. I am afraid that His Majesty doesn't even know who I am. If I am close to the government, what is the difficulty for me?"

Liu Jian blinked, and said: "Then tell me, what do you mean? You sighed at His Majesty's benevolent government? It's also thanks to me being here, and someone else reported to the court. You, the governor of Bingzhou, I'm afraid I'll just roll it off for you!"

Guo Jia knew that Liu Jian was teasing him, so he smiled and said, "The general is reluctant to let me down."

"Haha, but not necessarily."

Guo Jia sighed: "Whether the emperor is in charge or not, Guo does not really care. According to Guo, the reason why Dong Zhuo let His Majesty be in charge at this time is nothing more than to prepare for a large-scale conquest of Liangzhou and open up the Western Regions. As long as the emperor controls the discourse Quan, if Dong Zhuo went to Liangzhou in person, there would be no fire in the backyard."

"It's just that compared to Dong Zhuo's foresight and foresight, what His Majesty is doing today seems impatient again."

Liu Jian's expression was rather playful: "How can you see that?"

"My lord, don't you see what is the true meaning of today's emperor amnesty the world and reduce the crimes of the world's criminals?"

Liu Jian shook his head.

"Oh, the meaning is for you, my lord."

"I?"

Liu Jian smiled wryly and said, "Why is it me again? Why does His Majesty keep staring at me? Besides, what does it matter to me if he pardons the world and commutes criminals?"

"Isn't it coveting the name of the lord's benevolence..."

"My lord, you are not only unrivaled in meritorious service, but also have a reputation of benevolence and righteousness all over the world!"

"In these years, how many good deeds have you done for thousands of souls in the world, I'm afraid you can't count them yourself?"

Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, then slowly said: "It's a bit lost. To be precise, I just did what I should do, and I didn't count it on purpose."

"Yes, you don't count yourself, but someone else counts for you!"

"According to Guo, His Majesty sees the benevolent government you have done and the hearts of the people you have won. He is envious and jealous. He also hopes to have the name of the Lord's benevolence. That's why after the New Deal, I am amnesty to the world. , and reduce the legal penalty."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "This can all have something to do with me, but now His Majesty has the name of benevolence, so he should be satisfied."

No, Guo Jia shook his head heavily.

"What is the name of benevolence? What is he called in the name of benevolence? He is a foolish move. His majesty may not be able to afford the consequences of commuting his sentence... Or else, his majesty is still Some are too hasty, it is really a wrong step, a wrong step."
