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

Chapter 224 My Son is So Awesome

Punish corrupt officials angrily.

The story goes that one day the emperor was on a secret visit and suddenly ran into a petty official who was corrupt and disregarding human life.

The emperor was furious, and then...

The plot is very similar to that in "The Secret Visits of Kangxi", as everyone knows, so I won't elaborate on it. It's nothing more than fighting against corrupt officials with wits, punishing evil and promoting good.

the most important.

It still shows the emperor's majestic and people-loving side.

Like the previous "cutting off hair in lieu of head", Liu Ju, a supporting character who appeared with the emperor and presented a positive image, also had private goods.

This time.

The emperor was furious, and the person accompanying him was the General Huo Qubing!

Marquis Guanjun hated evil and was very hostile to evil. When he saw the petty official bullying men and women and taking human lives, he could not tolerate it. He shouted "Ahhhhhhhhh" and punched the petty official, killing him on the spot.

After beating the small ones, the big ones came, and after beating one, a group of them came. Guan Jun Hou was not afraid of danger. He fought more than a hundred people alone with his bare hands and remained unharmed!
That's right.

That’s how awesome!
"Hiss..." The emperor had to admit that he was startled. After taking a deep breath, he slowly walked around the imperial desk, walked in front of Liu Ju, and took the paper:
"Prince, this, I cannot stand sin?"

"Is the wording inappropriate?" Liu Ju looked at his father, the emperor, and said sternly, "If your father is not satisfied, change it immediately!"

"No no no."

Satisfied, how could Liu Che not be satisfied, right...

When the prince entered the palace, he immediately stated his idea of ​​integrating the "private residences" of various counties and having the court issue unified decrees.

By the way, some propaganda favorable to the royal family was added in the "official residence". When the emperor first heard it, he thought it was just a joke.

The government decree has been issued. It is such a serious matter that it cannot be changed arbitrarily.

But after listening to the propaganda that the prince added, the emperor thought, this involves the royal family and me, it is such a serious matter!

Yep.

Is it overblown?
At this moment, the Emperor felt a little embarrassed. The eunuchs who were listening in the hall all had a new understanding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

admire!

A Han Chinese who had not experienced the Confucianism's unbridled and shameless exaggeration, and still retained some of the character and integrity of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Liu Julai's move was indeed a bit eye-catching, but precisely because of it, it was effective.

Take a look.

Didn't the emperor take over the 'Han Imperial Gazette' and read it carefully?

"In addition to the important decrees of the court, there is also the civil unrest in the Wusun region of the Western Regions. Huh?" Liu Che suddenly glanced to the lower left corner, his expression slightly changed.

There were a few lines of small characters written there: It is said that Zong Zhengcheng has a fierce wife who is a master of the Lion Roaring Technique. Zong Zhengcheng suffers greatly from her...

Also:

The Right Judge of the Court, who was over 40 years old, fainted after spending the night at the Zhangtai and indulged in debauchery. This was truly detrimental to moral education...

Liu Che knew about this Supreme Court Justice You Ping, and he had just been exiled to Lingnan by him a few days ago. How could he write it now?

The emperor pondered for a while and looked at the prince. "Those few stories of yours are good for the reputation of the royal family. They also serve as a warning to the civil strife in the Wusun region of the Western Regions."

“But you can write these…”

The emperor knocked on the 'funny plate', and Liu Ju saw it and explained: "This is used to attract people's attention."

Hear the words.

Liu Che looked at the stack of papers on the imperial desk and asked in confusion, "From what you said, isn't this royal report only distributed to the governors of each county?"

"Correct!"

Finally, it was time for the main event. Liu Ju put away his thoughts and said, "Father, I think that the decrees issued by the court should be widely publicized."

"For example, major national policies such as flood control in Dongjun and immigration to the border should be made known to more people to prevent officials from deceiving their superiors and deceiving their subordinates and confusing the public." I heard this.

The emperor's expression also turned serious. While pacing in the hall, he put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Go on."

"I think it would be best if the court reports could be distributed to the level of the three village elders, and there is no need to prohibit those without official positions from purchasing and reading them."

Liu Ju put forward his thoughts, "The more people read the court bulletin, the better the effect will be. In addition, the language should not be too flowery, but should be easy to understand."

"Writing about the events in the Western Regions can broaden the horizons of the Han people; writing about the envoys' mission to Nanyue can enhance the cohesion and pride of the Han people."

"Everything, everything..."

Liu Ju raised his hand and made a fist, then said in a concentrated voice: "This is all for the court to control public opinion!"

With the current situation of the court, it is actually——

In the hands of the Royal Family!
At this moment, after listening to the prince's speeches on government orders, flood control, the Western Regions, and finally the Kingdom of Nanyue, the emperor did not pay attention to any of the above points.

This emperor, who had either been fighting or on his way to fight all his life, was thinking at that moment:

"When I was pushing for the attack on the Xiongnu, there was a lot of noise everywhere. Why didn't I think of this strategy?"

"Why?"

Liu Che stood beside the beam for a while, his eyes filled with shock. His facial expressions changed three times in an instant: annoyed, angry, and uncomfortable. There was even some dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Liu Ju.

To describe Lao Liu's state of mind at this moment, I would use a vulgar and direct word: "My son is so awesome, even more awesome than me, why didn't he become awesome earlier!?"

Ouch.

Before paper became popular and printing technology was developed, even if Liu Ju had ideas, he would be powerless without the right ingredients.

"Father, is there something wrong?" Liu Ju leaned back, feeling a little nervous when being stared at by his father the emperor.

"Humph."

Seeing the prince's pretense, the emperor snorted coldly and did not respond. Instead, he said with a slightly excited tone: "This court report you came up with is great!"

"Since you came up with this idea, let Shuiheng Duwei take charge of it. Apart from the imperial decree, everything else..."

The emperor paused, but finally couldn't help himself.

He glanced at Liu Ju and said, "Ahem, some things should not be too explicit. Also, don't write too much about the officials' private affairs."

"It undermines the dignity of the court."

"I understand." Liu Ju immediately replied, "I know which people can be written about and which things cannot be written about."

People who broke the law and were punished by the emperor can be written about, but things that have a bad impact on the image of the court cannot be written about.

The door is clear...

Liu Ju published the official gazette to create an institution for himself to control public opinion, not to cause trouble for himself.

In the foreseeable future, after promoting the emperor's benevolence, the general's loyalty to the country, and the cavalry general's unparalleled might, Liu Ju will definitely also promote his own agenda.

There's no reason for him to make such a fuss just to flatter Old Liu, right?

Impossible~
In order to smuggle his private goods smoothly and make the emperor accept it, Liu Ju continued to increase the price. He only heard him say respectfully:

"Father, I want to use the imperial report to spread the news to the late emperor, Emperor Xiaowen, and Emperor Gao that our ancestor killed the white snake and is the son of the Red Emperor."

"It should be known to every household in the Han Dynasty and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"

This move hit the weak spot directly. If the emperor praised himself too much, Liu Che would feel a little uncomfortable. But if he praised his ancestors, it would not be excessive.

Because this is filial piety!

In the Han Dynasty, filial piety is above all else!
After hearing this, the emperor looked serious, stared at Liu Ju for a while, and said: "This matter is of great importance, you cannot handle it."

"I want to write it myself!"
