Emperor Liu Hong

()ps: It's not easy for a newcomer, I hope everyone supports it.Everyone knows about favorites, recommendations, and clicks.Here, I would like to thank you in advance, brother!

Early the next morning, Liu Hong was called up again by the eunuch to go to court.

Liu Hong knew that the morning court today would definitely not be peaceful. After all, whether the Tai Tuo was fainted from anger or he personally led a team to raid the house, it was no small matter.The former stripped the face of the literati, and the latter directly robbed the interests of the relatives. They would never just let it go.

But Liu Hong didn't care too much, he was the emperor, who would he be afraid of!Even a puppet can't be manipulated casually.

"That old guy Chen Fan didn't come, it seems that he can't save face, he's going to rest at home for a few days. That's good, at least you can deal with less people and relax."

Liu Hong sat on the special dragon chair, looked at the dignified ministers below, and looked at the general Dou Wu from time to time.Liu Hong couldn't help feeling tired for a while, and said in his heart: "These courtiers all regard Dou Wu as their master. I robbed Dou Wu of his benefits yesterday, and his servants will definitely not let me go easily."

Sure enough, as Liu Hong expected, not long after he came to court, someone attacked him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you personally took people to Guan Ba ​​and Su Kang's house yesterday to raid the house?"

"Yeah, anyway, I have nothing to do now, and I'm curious about ransacking the house, so I went to have a look. Why, is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor! How could you go and ransack the house yourself, it would damage your identity..."

"Okay, there's no need to talk about it, I know, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave." Liu Hong didn't want to listen to his rambling, so he stopped him from talking.

"Your Majesty, it is really wrong for you to raid the house yourself..."

"Are you finished?! Tell you that I know, why are you still talking about it! Don't worry, I will never go to ransack your house in person, even if it is yours, I will only send people to go, That's it!"

At Liu Hong's words, the angry official shook his head.But at this point, he didn't dare to open his mouth any more, so he could only retreat helplessly.

This one retreated, but the other interjected again, "Your Majesty, you went to search the house yourself. We don't say right or wrong. But how did I hear that you didn't hand over the confiscated property to the treasury, but transported them all to the state treasury?" In the palace."

"Yeah, I've already been transported to the palace, what's wrong?" Liu Hong immediately started to play dumb.

Hearing Liu Hong's words, the official almost twisted his nose and said, "Your Majesty, confiscated property must be handed over to the treasury. This is an ancient rule. How can you violate it?!"

"What's so great about putting it in the palace?! Isn't the world all mine? Since it's all mine, is there any difference where it's put?"

Hearing this, the official almost choked to death, "Your Majesty, even though that's the case, it's better to abide by the rules. After all, the treasury is not sufficient..."

"Okay, don't talk anymore! I know your thoughts very well. It is nothing more than putting the money in the palace and I can only spend it myself, and putting the money in the treasury, you can spend it together, right?" Looking at the silent crowd Minister, Liu Hong asked: "Since it's all my money, why should I spend it with you? How comfortable it is for me to spend it myself!"

After listening to Liu Hong's words, the minds of the ministers were like ten thousand muddy horses running past.

"Your Majesty, you are supported by the people. Now the world is suffering disasters year after year, and the treasury is empty. You should feed back the people now, and you shouldn't care about it."

"I don't like to listen to what you say. What do you mean I care about everything?!" Hearing this, Liu Hong didn't want to, and said: "You are also supported by the people. The world has suffered disasters year after year, and the treasury is empty. Why don't you pay back? People, don’t you take the money from your family to the treasury?”

In the minds of the ministers, another [-] mud horses ran past.

Seeing that the officials were speechless, Liu Hong said again: "Why don't you speak anymore? When you use great principles to suppress others, what you say is very vigorous. How come you are all silent?"

Grass mud horse, keep running.

When Liu Hong saw that the ministers who had stimulated him were almost done, he said: "I know that the money in your family is all your hard work. It is completely unreasonable for you to take it out for nothing and hand it over to the treasury. But your money is money, and I Is my money not money? If I hand over my money to the treasury like this, I feel distressed too!"

"Your Majesty, you are different from us. You are completely supported by the state, and all expenses are paid by the treasury. It is useless for you to ask for money..."

"Who said it's useless, it's very useful!" Liu Hong interrupted the official directly, and said, "The Empress Dowager's Changle Palace is leaking, and it should have been maintained long ago. But you have been saying that the treasury is empty, and you have been letting the empress live in it." In the dilapidated palace, this is caused by lack of money. If you have money, why bother to be pushed around by you. The dignified queen mother actually lives in a leaky house. I feel blushed when I tell it. Therefore, I will confiscate The money I got into the palace is to build a beautiful palace for my mother."

The queen mother was very angry when she heard Liu Hong's fallacies.But when she suddenly heard that Liu Hong was so greedy for money, she wanted to build a palace for her, and she immediately became angry, no matter how she looked at Liu Hong, she was pleasing to the eye.What I wanted to reprimand Liu Hong, I suppressed all of them.But if she knows, Liu Hongxiu's palace has nothing to do with her at all.It's all for the words of Liu Hong's own mother, Mrs. Dong, so I don't know if she can still be so pleasing to Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, the royal family is supported by all people, and it should be a role model for all people. Now is a difficult time. Your Majesty is so fussy, it is not the work of the Holy King."

"You are oppressing people with righteousness, so you can't bring some fresh food? As ministers, you eat delicious food and drink spicy food at home. You can enjoy it however you want. But the emperor wants to set an example for all people, eat and drink Don’t mention pleasure, even repairing the leaky palace for the mother is too much, don’t you think it’s too much? You know, don’t do to others what you don’t want! Think about it carefully!”

Liu Hong's words stunned all the ministers.They never thought about it, they just think that the emperor is No. 1 in the world, no matter food, housing, land use, everything is the best, these are all supported by the people, you should try your best to repay.But Liu Hong's words let them know that the emperor's matter was not what they thought, so the hall fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was bluffed, Liu Hong was quite satisfied.Liu Hong had long wanted to find an excuse to separate the royal family's property from the treasury.

The ancient royal family's policy on property was very strange, that is, the property of the royal family belonged to the royal family, and the property of the country also belonged to the royal family.Just like the Han Dynasty, the Shaofu, which specializes in managing the royal family's property, is a high-ranking official among the Jiuqing.In fact, this is all self-deception.Because property ownership is unclear, royals feel that all property belongs to the royal family.In the eyes of others, all property belongs to the state.

This policy was not a big problem in the prosperous age.There is plenty of money in the treasury, and there is more money to spend, and no one cares whose money it is.But in the last days, the treasury is empty, if the emperor spends more money, in the eyes of others, it is definitely a heinous crime.

Moreover, Liu Hong had to plan as soon as possible after the lessons learned from Emperor Lingling of the Han Dynasty.Historically, Emperor Han Ling earned a lot of money, but he didn't spend much of it himself, so where did the rest of the money go?It's not that once Emperor Ling died, those officials took away the money in various names.This is the evil result of the disparity between domestic production and family property. In the end, all the money is cheap for those officials, but the reputation of selling officials and nobles will always follow Lingdi.

The current Liu Hong would not sell his officials for money, he had plenty of ways to make money.However, if the royal property cannot be clarified, even if he enjoys his own hard-earned money, he will be said to be abusing the people's fat and anointing himself, leaving himself infamous.

Of course Liu Hong will not let such a thing happen, he needs to plan ahead.But now it's all right, Liu Hong can take advantage of this opportunity to completely separate the royal family's property from the national treasury.

"My dear friends, you can have fun without any scruples. Because your money is private and has nothing to do with others. So no matter how you spend it, it is your own business, and others have no right to make irresponsible remarks Yes. So I thought, can the royal family’s property be completely separated from the national treasury? Like now, although it seems that the royal family owns its own property and is managed by the Shaofu, in fact, the Shaofu’s money It's still the country's money, which is just equivalent to the second treasury. I want to separate them all now, and the royal family owns its own property. If the royal family wants to do anything in the future, they can't use the treasury casually. They need to do what they can, so that There is no need to consider whether it will increase the burden on the country."
