He is afraid of cold in winter and heat in summer. In the past two years, Emperor Liu has become more and more sensitive to cold and heat, and every hot summer and cold winter is a kind of torture for him. No, it is the midsummer solstice again. Emperor Liu
I almost fled the palace and went to Qionglin Garden to escape the summer heat. Although there was ice stored in the palace, the ice cubes made me feel uncomfortable if I used them too much, which was not good for my health.
To be honest, Qionglin Garden is not a good place to escape the summer heat, but the environment is beautiful, Jinming Pool can also bring a certain cool feeling, and with the palace attendants serving fans, it can also meet the needs of Emperor Liu.
Likewise, if there is evil at the top, there will be no shortage of people at the bottom who actively propose solutions. Emperor Liu's habit of being afraid of cold and heat is no longer a secret.
Not long ago, Gao Xi, the right remonstrating official, went to Emperor Liu and said that your Majesty has been working hard for the country and benefiting the people for more than ten years. Today, the country is unified, the empire is prosperous, and the people are healthy, but he suffers from the cold and heat all the time.
As a minister, he could no longer bear the suffering. Therefore, Gao Xi suggested that Emperor Liu summon the architectural elite and recruit skilled craftsmen to build a palace that would be warm in winter and cool in summer for winter and summer use. In this way, he could get rid of the suffering of cold and heat.
It also allows Your Majesty to better govern the world...
Regarding this memorial, Emperor Liu chuckled. It was really a "straightforward admonishment", considerate and considerate of the emperor and his father. Emperor Liu really felt that he, as an emperor, could withstand so many temptations.
It’s not easy. Looking at the world, everything is at your fingertips. You can roam the entire empire as you like, and everyone in the world can serve you exclusively. From time to time, someone will jump out to remind you and tempt you...
Self-discipline is probably the most important quality of Emperor Liu. But Gao Xi's memorial reminded him of a person, Meng Chang, who was still alive in a golden cage in Tokyo.
At that time, Meng Chang was also afraid of heat and cold, so he spent a lot of money and built a crystal palace on the Maha Pond with utmost luxury for his and Mrs. Huarui's enjoyment.
As a result, the country perished, he surrendered, the Crystal Palace was plundered, all the rare decorations were dismantled and sent to Tokyo, and the famous Madam Hua Rui became Emperor Liu's bed toy...
It has to be said that Gao Xi was unlucky. In the past, he also went to the emperor's training palace, built annexes, and expanded the imperial city. Although Liu Chengyou refused, he had no other expression.
However, this time, Emperor Liu was reminded of Meng Chang, the king who had subjugated his country, and the consequences were a bit serious. Because Liu Chengyou felt that this was a greedy person who was probably a traitor, so he ordered the Imperial City Secretary Zhang Dejun to investigate
Check out this admonition to the doctor.
No matter how much effort Emperor Liu put into his administration, how strict he held his ministers to be, and how much he flaunted clean governance, the reality was that the officials of the Han Dynasty were afraid of investigation.
If you don't investigate, you will be fine. If you investigate, you will definitely find something. What's more, under the personal care of the emperor, usually in this case, nothing can be found. And Zhang Dejun is well versed in the truth, and there is no need for him to deliberately create accusations.
, Gao Xi’s buttocks were not clean to begin with, and the bribery found was traced back to the fifth year of Qianyou’s reign...
Witnesses and physical evidence were complete, the case was clear, and the disposition was quickly issued. He was removed from his position, ransacked his home, and was exiled. This was already the result of Emperor Liu's mercy. At least, he was not skinned and used to light lanterns in the sky.
Perhaps Gao Xi would never have thought until his death that he just followed others and wrote a flattering memorial to the emperor, which would lead to such an unexpected disaster. The reason is quite surprising, but Emperor Liu thought of something bad.
place.
However, if Gao Xi had been upright, he most likely would not have suffered the same fate. Compared with other colleagues, he has to lament his bad luck.
Emperor Liu also had another emotion after this incident. Even though he had been restraining himself, restraining himself, and admonishing his ministers with words and deeds, it seemed that there were always people coming one after another to flatter him, please him, and charm him...
.
He is like a strong embankment, but there are always people like the tide, constantly trying to corrode him, break him down, and then rush to the free and vast world, and then bring disaster to the world.
Emperor Liu's delusion of being persecuted seemed to be getting more serious.
During the period when Emperor Liu was summering in Qionglin Garden, there was constant turmoil and turbulent public opinion within the Han Dynasty. The reason for this was the war in Hexi.
By late April, with the recovery of two prefectures in Gansu, the war in Hexi had basically come to an end, and battle reports and other news from Hexi were gradually sent back to Tokyo.
According to past situations, when good news spread eastward, the army won a great victory, and Hexi was recovered. Such an achievement made the whole court happy and congratulated the emperor. The court should also carry out follow-up work for the Hexi states that were newly included in the court system and discuss the consequences.
Now is the matter of rewards for meritorious soldiers.
It was the same this time, except that in the process of implementing these matters, some strange noises suddenly came out in the DPRK. Generally speaking, the recovery of Hexi this time, starting from the dispatch of troops, to the recovery of all the cities and the surrender of the Uighurs, was about
It's been just over a month, so fast.
However, many courtiers criticized it, and the key lies in the process of marching westward. For example, Chai Rong's army gathered troops and horses, but the crowd did not advance, wasting money and food, and delaying the farming time. Some people raised doubts. Since the Uighurs could be exterminated so quickly, then
What is the explanation for the previous behavior?
He had a close relationship with the local tycoons of Liugu and various Qiang chiefs, and he was suspected of buying people's hearts. There were many old friends in the army, but he kept his head straight, and all the generals bowed their heads and obeyed orders. He dispatched troops and generals, underestimated the enemy's rapid advance, and actually trapped the soldiers in danger, causing death and injury.
heavy......
Many discussions on the above table have obviously changed their tone. They are less like praise and more like accountability. Moreover, they seem to be aimed at the British Gong Chai Rong. There are also more people who are accused of relegating Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin.
The incident has already followed the looting and killing in Jiedan City. Talking about these can make a group of ministers stand on the moral high ground and criticize the cruelty of the generals.
Under this kind of public opinion, the original happy event of opening up the frontier and expanding the land has also been cast a shadow. The merits of the soldiers who have experienced bloody battles in the westward advance have also been dimmed a lot under this criticism.
This kind of public opinion is abnormal, and some opinions are ridiculous, but it did happen in the Tokyo court. Objectively speaking, it is somewhat unfair to the soldiers who fought bloody battles. Although Wei Renpu did not like it,
Massacre, especially the killing of prisoners, was an act that harmed peace and order, but it still showed the prime minister's responsibility, defending the generals and harmonizing public opinion.
Privy Councilor Li Chuyun expressed his indignation and despised and condemned those officials who stood and talked without pain. However, Zhao Kuangyin, the Duke of Rongguo, who was a military general, did not express any opinions and was just a spectator, watching the play silently at the VIP table.
Behind this public opinion, there are of course people pushing it, and the person pushing it is still very high-status, Guojiu, the Minister of Punishment, Li Ye. Obviously, even after more than ten years, Li Guojiu's trouble-loving character has not changed, and his purpose
It’s also very simple, establish your authority.
Speaking of Li Guojiu, he was a man with great ambitions and great achievements. However, even after more than ten years of local experience, considerable political achievements, and improved abilities, when he was transferred back to the central government to serve as a senior official by the emperor,
There are still many people who look down upon him, thinking that he only has his current status because of his relationship with the Queen Mother.
Therefore, after returning to the court, Li Ye, who was full of energy and planned to use his talents to assist the holy king and create great achievements again, clearly felt that others were looking down upon him.
This was an uncomfortable thing for the proud and arrogant Li Ye. He also did well in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice. However, if he wanted to use it, he had to have sufficient authority.
Last year's case of Hu Meng, the Minister of Household Affairs, was also the case where he turned his hand into a cloud and turned his hand into rain, knocking the high-ranking official out of the clouds into the mortal world. This time, the Western Expedition made him discover a loophole that he could take advantage of.
Decisively took advantage of it.
Even Li Ye, the British Gongchai family, dared to target and do something. It is conceivable that no matter whether it succeeds or fails in the end, who dares to look down on Li Guojiu anymore?
Emperor Liu was well aware of some changes in the court. Compared with the Qianyou period, although the Kaibao Year had only just begun, every aspect was much more complicated.
Many problems that did not exist during the Qianyu period will be exposed one by one as time goes by. Just like the people of the world, they need to adjust and adapt as the world shifts from division to unity. Emperor Liu's rule began with the Qianyu period.
Bao will also face new challenges.
Now, there is a sign of party strife! This time, it is a conflict between the hero and his relatives. Seriously speaking, in terms of the disconnected relationship between Chai and Guo, Chai Rong also belongs to his relatives.
