My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 190 The Emperor is a Little Anxious

Liu Ju has been busy matchmaking recently, and then busy attending weddings. After the wedding banquet, Xiao Huo... well, now he is his brother-in-law.

cough.

My sister and brother-in-law both knew that it was Liu Ju who brought them together, and they invited Liu Ju to banquets several times afterwards, so he certainly couldn't fail to give them face.

You have to bring female relatives to the banquet, and if you can, you can only bring Shi Liangdi.

It's okay once or twice, but when it happens too often, Liu Ju's harem starts to change a bit, and becomes more like the one in "Legend of Zhen Huan".

no way.

As both were concubines, Liu Ju was too partial to one another, so one was pleased and proud, while the other was jealous and dissatisfied. This was normal, in order to "harmonize yin and yang, and bring peace to all things."

The best way is to find something serious for them to do, so that they don't sit idle all day and keep complaining about the trivial matters in the harem.

That's what it is.

Every woman who enters the palace is young, beautiful and in the prime of life. When they enter the palace, they are as pure as a flower.

When a group of women stay in the deep palace and do nothing but play tricks and fight in the palace every day, after a few years, even the white lotus will become a scheming bitch.

Anyway!

In order to maintain the purity of his harem, Liu Ju told the two concubines all the above words.

"No matter if it's a twisted theory or not, no matter if it's right or wrong, I know everything about the two of you secretly competing with each other recently."

Liu Ju seemed not to notice the girls' tense bodies, and he held one of them with each hand, and said to Shi Liangdi, "You have been much more obedient recently."

Turning his head, he said to Li Liang Di: "You have been serving me very well recently... woo!"

Before the prince could finish his words, two extremely presumptuous pairs of soft hands covered him, and only sobbing sounds came out of his mouth.

Without him.

If you don't cover it up, some embarrassing words will come out.

No matter how embarrassing it was, no matter how noisy it was, Liu Ju used his usual gangster tactics to mediate and he once again had the two women under his control.

As the saying goes, a harmonious family brings prosperity.

What Liu Ju didn't know was that just when he was settling the matter in the harem, he quietly resolved a problem... It couldn't be considered a crisis, it was just a trouble at most.

The reason for saying this is because the Marquis Wuyang of the Han Dynasty heard that the prince only took the daughter of the Shi family with him when he went out and ignored his own granddaughter.

Oh my!

How could old man Li tolerate this!

He immediately started a fierce battle with Huo Qubing in the court. This time, even Wei Qing, who practiced the silent meditation, could not escape, and Li Guang dragged him into the battle.

One beats two, that's awesome!
At the end of the quarrel, Wei Qing couldn't stand it anymore. He almost ran to the Crown Prince's Palace and asked his nephew to be fair so as not to bring harm to others...

What is going on?

Fortunately, Liu Ju adjusted quickly and his response gradually spread. When Old Man Li saw that the prince had received his signal, he wiped his mouth and called off his troops.

The court, which had been noisy for several days, finally quieted down.

After what seemed like a farce ended, something serious happened.

Weiyang Palace.

Xuanshi Hall.

At the regular court meeting, the eunuch Ling raised his breath and said in a sharp voice: "Transfer the doctor-in-charge Li Guang to be the general of chariots and cavalry, with a rank equal to that of Shangqing, and give him the title of Shizhong!"

"Move Li Gan, the Marquis of Pingle, to lieutenant!"

On the left side of the hall, Li Guang and Li Gan, father and son, stepped out at the same time and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

In this promotion, the imperial edict specifically pointed out that the rank of General of Chariots and Cavalry was only below that of General of Piaoqi, so Li now had another lieutenant who was one of the Nine Ministers.

I don't know what the emperor's intention is...

After Li Guang resigned from the post of Langzhongling, his successor was named Xu Ziwei, a frontier army general who had no connection with any senior officials in the court.

"Let's begin the meeting." After announcing the decree, the emperor on the dragon couch waved his sleeves, indicating that the meeting should resume as normal.

The personnel appointment just now did not affect General Wei Qing. He looked calm and stood up to report on the matter at a leisurely pace.

Since the general has spoken, it must be related to military affairs. Speaking of military affairs, nine out of ten times it is related to the Huns, and this time is no exception.

As a great enemy of the Han Dynasty, it is necessary to keep a close eye on them at all times.

Wei Qing made a routine report on the developments of the internal strife among the Xiongnu. Afterwards, the Imperial Censor Shi Qing stepped forward and spoke about the progress of water control in the Yellow River.

There is still a lot of government affairs to do, and they have to be dealt with one by one.

until.

The Chief Justice Wang Wenshu made a memorial requesting the establishment of a system of reporting silk!
To explain briefly, Gaomin is a measure based on the tax 'Suanmin' levied on merchants.

If a merchant fails to pay accurate money or conceals some of his property, others can report him, and the reporter can get half of his property.

The reason for this explanation is that after hearing the petition, the emperor did not ask for the opinions of the ministers, but asked Liu Ju directly!

"Prince, what do you think?"

Say it.

There was a slight commotion in the hall. This seemed to be the first time that His Majesty sought the Crown Prince's opinion in court?
Liu Ju, who had been listening, was also a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses, sat up straight, and said with his hands clasped: "Your Majesty, I think this is feasible."

At this moment, this is the only answer.

Since Wang Wenshu was able to mention this decree, he must have consulted the emperor, and the emperor must have agreed, otherwise he would not have brought it up at the court meeting.

At this time.

Liu Ju expressed his support and continued, "But before it is implemented, I think we should issue detailed laws and select honest and fair officials to supervise it."

"Don't let the people be panicked by the accusation of corruption."

After the prince finished speaking, the ministers in the hall either nodded or shook their heads, but before they could start discussing, the voice from the dragon couch had already arrived.

"cliche!"

"Who is honest and who is not? How to choose? It's empty nonsense with no effect at all!" the emperor commented coldly.

Without waiting for the ministers to be surprised by this sharp remark, the emperor made the decision directly: "Let the Supreme Court be responsible for supervision, and the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of the Imperial Household be responsible for managing the money for reporting the corruption."

"Next one!"

The emperor seemed a little anxious today. He did not consult with the ministers, nor did he talk about empty words. He just went straight to the next thing.

Move on to the next piece.

Since the beginning of the questioning of the Crown Prince, eight out of ten subsequent government affairs would require the Crown Prince's opinion.

Liu Ju's answer showed some signs of being a compromise and was basically just a scolding. When Liu Ju held his breath and expressed his own opinions, he was met with even more fierce criticism.

The key is.

After being scolded, Liu Ju had no way to reason out, because the emperor was right to scold him. Don’t you think it’s infuriating?
"What should we do if the Hu people from the Western Regions caravan cause trouble in Chang'an?"

Although there were many important officials in the Xuanshi Hall at the moment, they all knew that the emperor was not asking them. After many question-and-answer sessions, the officials had already gotten used to it.

He asked questions himself, the emperor relayed the questions, and the prince answered them.

At last.

It ends with the prince being scolded.

Of course, this problem is still at the third step. Liu Ju took a deep breath and said loudly: "Replying to the emperor, the Hu people are in my Han land, so they should abide by Han laws!"

"Everything will be done according to Han law, and there will be severe punishment without mercy!"

at last.

The emperor stood up and for the only time affirmed the prince's answer: "Let's do as the prince says. I'm adjourning the court."
