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

Chapter 227 Nothing wrong, do it with him

Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

The scholar hurried through the hall and the courtyard, and when he reached the back house, he saw the figure in the courtyard and whispered in the ear:

"Mingsir, Dong Zhongshu is stubborn and unwilling to come forward."

The sword rested on his leg and Li Guangli wiped it carefully. His eyes never left the sword and his voice remained even. "If you don't want to, forget it."

bass.

The oilcloth in his hand wiped the sword heavily, and the shiny gold and iron reflected the sunlight onto Li Guangli's face, revealing a frosty look.

It was obvious that he was not as relieved as he said.

"The old man has grown old, and it is inevitable that he has lost his sharpness." Song Jia shook his head and did not dwell on Dong Zhongshu any more. Instead, he said in a disgusted tone:
"Who could have thought that the prince was so mean, and in order to please His Majesty, he would even resort to lies to fool the world!"

"despicable!"

Song Jia said this not because he had noble character and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, but because he was furious because the prince made a court report that ruined their plan.

According to Shangguan Jie's suggestion that day, they wanted to secretly and slowly boost the popularity of the Prince's Palace in the hope that the "east wind" would overwhelm the "west wind".

This eventually caused fear in the Weiyang Palace to the west.

Who would have thought that the prince would throw out a court bulletin. Once this thing was released, even if a thousand or ten thousand people gathered to stir up trouble, it would not be as powerful as the other party's bulletin!
Haven’t you heard that after the publication of “Cutting Hair in Place of Head”, the emperor’s reputation among the people soared?
Some people know that this is fake.

But in this world, wise men are few after all, and most of them are fools who just follow the crowd...

The emperor's reputation is high, and it was all done by the crown prince. After the West Palace and the East Palace did this, how can they interfere and sow discord?
"Alas! Despicable!"

Song Jia was so angry that he couldn't help but curse again.

"Whether it's despicable or noble, I don't care." Li Guangli stared at the sword in his hand and said word by word: "I only know that this matter is not good for me!"

Today the prince can write something favorable to himself in the official newspaper. Tomorrow, if the prince wants, can he not write something unfavorable to the Li family?

In the courtyard.

The scholar Song Jia paced and pondered for a while, frowned and said: "From the current point of view, the court report has far-reaching influence and is of great importance. Your Majesty will never allow anyone to mess around."

Before he finished his analysis, Li Guangli had already raised his sword, looking at the sword tip so close, and said fiercely:
"The sword is in my hand, I can kill people whenever I want. The power is in his hands, whether he uses it or not, I will not feel at ease!"

Hear this.

Song Jia stopped walking, and after a few breaths, he changed his mind and said, "Since you are worried, you can take over the management of the newspaper..."

"This is the best strategy, but it's too difficult."

As he spoke, Song Jia shook his head and said, "If seizing power doesn't work, we can place our own people in the Shuiheng Duwei Mansion to act as a check and balance. This is the middle strategy."

"The worst option." He turned around and said to Li Guangli in a deep voice: "If we can't get it, then let the prince not get it either!"

Li Guangli narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to gesture to the seat opposite him.

"Please tell me more..."

……

The sun is rising and the morning breeze is blowing, refreshing and pleasant. Unfortunately, the clouds in the sky are thick and there seems to be a backlog, so today is probably not going to be a good day.

Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.

"May your majesty live forever and enjoy eternal happiness."

"No gift."

All the ministers were present, and the first few government matters discussed at the morning court were the ones that had already set the tone at the small court meeting.

Prime Minister Shi Qing was the first to say, "Your Majesty, the migration of people from the Hexi Corridor has achieved initial results. It is inconvenient to set up two counties to govern them. Please divide them into other counties."

"What do you think, my Lords?"

"I think we can divide the area west of Jiuquan County and establish Dunhuang County, and divide the area east of Jiuquan County and establish Zhangye County." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the Grand Marshal and the General took over.

The result was no surprise. The other ministers had no objections. The matter had obviously been decided and it was just a formality now.

No one is blind.

After finalizing the four Hexi counties, Prime Minister Shi Qing made another petition, saying that the capital region was becoming more and more prosperous, and that the Left and Right Internal Historians were not enough to govern it, so he requested that it be changed.

The emperor agreed, and changed the Left Internal History to Left Fengyi, and the Right Internal History was divided into You Fufeng and Jingzhao Yin, and the capital area was divided into three parts.

Other.

The lieutenant was changed to the Praetorian Guard. The capital auxiliary commander, the left auxiliary commander, and the right auxiliary commander were added to take charge of the military power under the original lieutenant's office. The Praetorian Guard no longer managed the three auxiliary commanderies, but was only responsible for the defense of Chang'an.

Others might have watched the series of changes, but Liu Ju, who had personally experienced a series of events and knew his father, the emperor, very well, knew:
"The consequences of Li Gan's reckless behavior towards the Tiqi finally came..."

It's about military power.

The emperor is always sensitive and vengeful.

At the beginning, Li Gan led the imperial guards to surround Li Guangli in the street. Although Liu Ju asked him to make amends later, the traces were still left.

Then, won’t the bad consequences come as expected?

While Liu Ju was thinking, he suddenly heard a few words related to himself, "The court report says... the prince is willful and reckless."

Ok?
Liu Ju looked in the direction of the voice, but before he could tell who it was, a deep voice rang out from the dragon couch: "Crown Prince, someone has impeached you. What is your defense?"

"Go back to Father."

Liu Ju first bowed to the host, then turned to look at the official who had stepped out, and after a moment's scrutiny, he said in a serious tone:

"I don't know what I did wrong, could you please explain it again, Grand Counselor?"

"…The Water and Water Commissioner under your supervision has spread many untrue reports, and the people are already revolting, saying that the Crown Prince is willful and reckless!"

Pu Cang, the Imperial Counselor, said sternly, "Your Highness, don't you have to give the people of the world an explanation to stop them from talking nonsense?"

The words fell.

Eyes frequently swept across the hall.

Some are calm, some are profound, some are just watching the show, and some do not hide their malice. The last type, without a doubt, is none other than General Li Guang.

After hearing this, Liu Ju did not look angry, but nodded, as if he agreed with what the other party said. Seeing this, Pu Cang wanted to ask again.

but.

Liu Ju spoke before him and asked, "Doctor Pu, I know about the uproar among the people regarding the court bulletin, but I don't know the 'untruth'."

"Can you give me an example or two?"

Pu Cang was suddenly speechless, with a puzzled look on his face, "Your Highness, don't you know that this is untrue?"

"I don't know." Liu Ju said seriously, "That's why I asked Doctor Pu for advice. I said I was wrong. Please point out where I was wrong."

"you……"

Pu Cang pointed at the prince, isn't this just lying with open eyes!
He turned his head to look at the dragon bed, hoping that His Majesty would stop such unreasonable excuses. Unexpectedly, when he looked at the emperor, the emperor also said seriously:
"Master, where is the falsehood in the report? Point it out to me."

"I……"

Pu Cang was about to speak instinctively. Which one of the things about cutting hair to replace the head, Emperor Jing staying overnight in a farmer's house, and Red Dragon Son was true?

But the moment he opened his mouth, he knew he had been tricked.

The emperor's gaze was deep and calm, but it made the counselor's face twitch, his scalp tingled for a moment, and his eyes avoided.

See this.

Li Guangli, who was standing in the crowd, cursed inwardly. If he didn't take action, the inquiry against the prince would turn into a confrontation with the emperor...

"What the Imperial Counselor said is absurd!" Li Guangli, the Grand Eunuch, stepped out and said, "The imperial report can be used to issue administrative orders and spread your majesty's reputation."

"How can it be untrue?"

As soon as Li Guangli appeared, no matter whether the words that came out of his mouth were good or bad, and whether they sounded like praise or criticism for the prince, everyone in the hall changed their state.

The Imperial Counselor Pu Cang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back silently.

The spectators who had previously been indifferent to the matter now became more alert, with sparkling eyes, after all, the show was really interesting now.

Everyone knows that your Li family has a fourth prince, and you, Li Guangli, were shot by an arrow by the prince's cousin. You are definitely mortal enemies. Why bother hiding your true identity?

No problem.

Stand up and confront him directly!
The fierce gazes of the General of Chariots and Cavalry, the General of Light Cavalry and others became more fierce.

Even the emperor on the dragon couch adjusted himself to a comfortable sitting position, his posture clearly saying, "Very good."

"Please start your performance."
