Emperor Liu Hong

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were tossing about in Wugo country, but Liu Hong didn't know anything about it.He is still in Dahan's territory, hunting them and the two brothers everywhere.

The Yuan brothers have all gone abroad, so of course Liu Hong can't catch them.But Liu Hong didn't know about this situation. He thought the arresters were not doing their best. He could call the person in charge over and scold him eight times a day.

At this time, the relatives of the rebellious family in their hometown, the robbers and bandits who rebelled, and Xu Chang, who proclaimed himself emperor, were all sent to the capital.

Liu Hong is now in a fit of anger. Hearing that these guys have all arrived in the capital, how could he be polite, and directly ordered that the nine clans of the rebels be strangled and killed.

"Your Majesty calm down, you can't do this!"

"Uncle Huang, you pleaded for those traitors?!" Liu Hong glared at Liu Shu, with disbelief on his face and a feeling of betrayal in his heart.

Seeing Liu Hong's anger, Liu Yu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I also want to kill all these traitors and nine clans. But it's really not the time to do it now." .”

Liu Hong glared at Liu Shu, without saying a word, waiting for him to explain.

"Your Majesty, before the reform, these traitors would have been killed without His Majesty's words. But now that the reform has just begun, we cannot stand repeated repetitions. If you directly killed their nine clans without trial, Your Majesty, would you A fatal blow to reform."

Hearing Liu Shu's explanation, Liu Hong recalled it.Almost all of the people he ordered to be executed just now have the status of nobles and scholars.According to the new regulations, they cannot be implicated.If he killed them regardless, the credibility of the imperial court would collapse, and all his efforts to make these reforms would be completely in vain.Moreover, if the imperial court lost its credibility, even if he wanted to carry out reforms, it would be useless.

"Uncle Huang, get up, I blamed you wrongly."

Liu Su stood up and said, "It's okay for your majesty to misunderstand the humble minister, because the humble minister still has a chance to explain. But if the common people misunderstand your majesty, it will be bad. Even if we want to explain, there is no way to talk about it."

"Is this why people can't help themselves in the Jianghu?" Liu Hong said as much aggrieved as he wanted to be now, unwillingly said: "Uncle Huang, I just let them go like this, I am not reconciled!"

Liu Hong could not stand the temper of being wronged. Now that he is the emperor and in power, he thought he could do things as he wanted.Unexpectedly, he carried out a reform, and in the end, he dug a hole and buried himself.

Liu Hong remembered that before he crossed over, he saw on the news that the famous Jin Sanpang killed his first love with a machine gun, and then arrested their family members as political prisoners.Comparing the two, he felt that he was very naive.Even the 21st century cannot completely avoid this kind of thing. What can he do in the ancient times 2000 years ago.As a result, now, he must put the overall situation first, and had to let go of a large group of super hidden dangers.

Seeing Liu Hong's aggrieved face, Liu Shu couldn't bear it anymore.He is not only the prime minister of the great Han, but also a clan member of the Han family, and Liu Hong's absolute die-hard.If Liu Hong is overthrown, he will definitely not benefit, so he also hates those rebels, and wants to kill them all and wipe them out.

Liu Su thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I also know the necessity of cutting grass and roots. But in order to ensure the smooth progress of the reform, we have to pay attention to the strategy."

"Oh, Uncle Huang, tell me quickly, what exactly are you going to do?" Liu Hong was very interested in what Liu Shu said.

If those people were let go, Liu Hong would really not be reconciled.Let's not talk about whether Liu Hong can bear this anger. These people have changed from rich and well-clothed people to superiors, and suddenly their families have been ruined and turned into inferior people who are not as good as pigs and dogs. This gap is so big that no one can accept it.If they can't bear it, they will have resentment.A group of people who have nothing but resentment is definitely a hidden danger in society, and it is a huge hidden danger.

This is not Liu Hong's exaggeration. It doesn't matter if there are one or two, but this time the number of people involved is too large.Which of these aristocratic families is not a big family, and so many aristocratic families are making trouble together, adding all their nine clans, it is definitely an astronomical figure.There are so many people who hold resentment against him, it is not a big hidden danger, if they are not dealt with, then troubles will still follow.

Although Liu Hong also knew that among so many people, some of them must have been wronged.But in this world, which temple does not have ghosts who have died?There are too many wronged people!So for your own safety, for the sake of society to reduce the shock.He felt that the best way was to kill three thousand people by mistake rather than release one person by mistake.It is the most cost-effective thing to eliminate all these possible hidden dangers in the bud.

"Your Majesty, almost all of these rebels are from aristocratic families. Even if they were only implicated in this rebellion, they don't know the truth. But we don't need them to know. From what I know, almost no one from these aristocratic families Good people. They have done a lot of illegal things like bullying men and women and running rampant in the countryside. Although we can't implicate them with rebellion, as long as they are tried according to law, their crimes will not be much better."

"What the emperor said is true!"

For this point, Liu Hong agrees very much.Although people always say that the end of the Han Dynasty was governed by foreign relatives and eunuchs, but eunuchs and foreign relatives are only a few people, how could they cause such a big storm?In Liu Hong's view, the biggest forces in the late Han Dynasty were already those powerful families.

Don't they all say that absolute power corrupts people absolutely.Since the aristocratic families were the biggest power in the late Han Dynasty, and even the imperial court's servants were controlled by them, is it strange that their families do something illegal?If these things are not taken seriously, then nothing will happen.If you count it seriously, even if those guys don't die, they will definitely peel off their skin.

With Liu Shu's reminder, Liu Hong was determined.There are many ways to kill these guys.Even if it was a completely fair trial, as the emperor, it would not be difficult for him to give these guys a little dirty.

Letting go of his worries, Liu Hong's thinking became active.He remembered the matter of erecting a tree at the South Gate in order to establish credibility during Shang Yang's political reform.Isn't this matter now a good opportunity to accumulate credit for the court?

"Uncle Emperor, I have decided that not only will these traitors be tried according to the procedures this time, but also a public trial will be held for them, so that the common people can all participate, to see if our judgment is fair, and to see if we mean what we say !"

"Public trial?" Liu Shu is such a smart person, after a little thought, he understood Liu Hong's intention.It is definitely impossible for Liu Shu to object to this matter, after all, he is the one who has benefited the most from this matter.So he happily went to arrange the public trial.
