The King of Wu looked solemn and knelt in his upper position. In front of him, there were many memorials. These were not only from Wu, but also from Chu, Changsha, Nanyue, etc.... As the King of Wu, he could treat other things.
The country was making trouble, and this was not the usurpation of the King of Wu, but the power given to him by Chief Liu.
The southern country is far inferior to the north. Regarding the issue of how to govern the southern country, a certain King Li, who can save trouble and no effort, chose to let his father supervise in name and let his brother take charge of the matter. The King of Wu probably eliminated it.
In addition to the original Tang King, the most powerful princes in the Han Dynasty.
If it were during the Liu Ying period, it would definitely not be a good thing to have such power, and there was a risk of drinking.
But during Liu's long-term period, there was no need to worry about this issue. Not to mention that Liu Chang had enough prestige to suppress the south, even if all the southern countries united to rebel, it would not be enough for the Tang Dynasty to attack. The southern countries have been arrested in the mountains of Nanyue in recent years.
When he was a monkey, the northern countries were fighting the Huns to death. Yan, Zhao, Qi, Hexi, Liang and even the northern and southern armies were all loyal to Liu Chang. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides was not on the same level, let alone those because of the war.
And one of the rising marquises after another.
Unless they all hide in the mountains of Nanyue as monkeys, they will not think of rebellion.
Even in the south, Kings of Chu, Kings of Wu, Kings of Changsha, and Kings of Nanyue were all very close to Liu Chang. These princes and kings were quite reliable and would not drink too much and bring dozens of people without taking them.
Crossbach is about rebellion.
Liu Heng did not disappoint Liu Chang's trust. He managed government affairs in Wu and personally selected a large number of talents, Ying Gao, Tian Lubo, Zhou Qiu and others... He did inherit his father's knowledge of people.
After officially taking over the major events in the Southern Kingdom, he joined forces with various countries and made many changes, such as building roads, canals, and attacking bandits.
All Liu Heng did was based on people's livelihood. He tried to change the situation in the South. In today's words, it was to let the South have more infrastructure... His policies started from all aspects,
The results were remarkable. He set an example, opened up the style of diligence and thrift, valued wise ministers, observed right and wrong, was diligent in governing the government, handled affairs of all kinds of southern countries, corrected them immediately if they were wrong, and never concealed the problems when they were found.
This kind of diligence, frugality, and seriousness are completely different from Emperor Gao...
Just what Liu Heng has to do in one day may be comparable to the workload of a certain Li Wang in a year. Liu Heng often stays up late at night because of government affairs, and even sits near the window to save candlelight and takes advantage of the moonlight.
When watching the memoir, everyone in Wu was amazed.
He set up many welfare institutions, and from time to time he had to distribute food to poor people who had no support, to help children without parents, and to support many poor scholars.
He submitted a memorial to change the law, abolished many cruel corporal punishments, and repeatedly told the court officer that the main purpose of church justice was to let sinners know their faults, and they should give them a chance to correct them. They should not be kept alive because of some small things.
Cut your hands and feet for sin.
After enduring silently for many years, when Liu Chang took office, Liu Heng no longer had to hide his weaknesses and could finally exert all his abilities.
Under his influence, Wu Kingdom was like a carriage drawn by twelve horses, galloping rapidly, and unable to stop. As for the surrounding countries, it was only as high as seven or eight horses.
It was just that Liu Heng was suffering. He did not hold banquets, did not eat much meat, did not drink alcohol, and did not hunt. He was busy with government affairs and inspected the people's conditions all day long.
The King of Wu inspected the people's situation and was really going to inspect it. Unlike a certain King Li, who was first in the Kingdom of Wu and later in the entire South. Liu Heng kept running around everywhere, sitting in a very simple carriage. He cared about people's livelihood in the local area.
, deal with treacherous officials and reward officials with political achievements.
But all this changed Liu Heng's appearance a lot. Although he was still young, he had white hair at this moment. He was obviously the most powerful prince, but his skin was dark and his face was full of vicissitudes. He was wearing it without knowing how to wash his clothes.
How many times did he have to look like his good father at the age of a good person?
Of course, all this Liu Heng did also rewarded a lot, not only causing earth-shaking changes in the South, but also his prestige increased greatly. When the Wu people saw him, they respected him as a god. This was a real sun.
Even the elderly Zhao Tuo visited the young prince several times, gave gifts, and expressed his respect.
When Liu Heng was handling government affairs, Mrs. Dou sat aside and waited quietly.
Mrs. Dou is not the queen, but she is Liu Heng’s most beloved wife.
Mrs. Dou is from Guanjin County, Qinghe County. Her family is not very prominent. Her father also lived a life of poverty and fishing, but unfortunately fell into the river and died. Later, she entered the Han Palace as a good son to serve Empress Lü.
, called Dou Ji... After Lu Hou arranged for one of her relatives to marry Liu Heng, he also gave the palace maid who served her to Liu Heng.
Perhaps she wanted her to continue to help her relatives maintain order in the harem, but Liu Heng obviously prefers this palace maid even more.
There is no reason for this. Liu Heng does not like extravagance and waste, does not like good clothes and cars, and does not like to hold banquets, eat meat and drink wine... Queen Lu was born when Emperor Gao achieved great achievements, so he had food and clothing.
Wuyou, getting used to a life of luxury and food, how could I bear the hardships of Liu Heng?
Faced with Liu Heng's many requests, she was very unhappy and even wrote a letter to Empress Lu, hoping that she could speak for her. Although Empress Lu scolded her, she did not restrain her behavior and lived a life.
In the past, I refused to endure hardships.
Liu Heng was unwilling to convince her, but Mrs. Dou was different. She was willing to live a hard life with Liu Heng. After all, she had a worse experience when she was young. This was nothing. At least she wouldn't be hungry and could wear it.
Clothes, live in a big house.
Liu Heng and Queen Lu have four sons, one daughter, and Mrs. Dou also have one daughter and two sons.
After handling the melody in front of him, Liu Heng gently rubbed his forehead and looked at Mrs. Dou in front of him.
"Your Majesty wants Qi to go to the Western Regions to be king... I specifically asked about my opinion, and I think I can let him go."
Mrs. Dou was stunned and said without hesitation: "Since the king thinks it is OK, let him go."
Liu Heng said seriously: "You must know that if he went to the Western Regions to become king, he might not be able to meet him for ten years."
Mrs. Dou shook her head, "Since the king has made a decision, going to the Western Regions will definitely be beneficial to Qi. I believe in the king."
Hearing Mrs. Dou's words, Liu Heng nodded gently, "According to the current emperor's order, if I am gone, my children will get a fiefdom, but Qi will not get it.
...He was not born by the queen, but just for the marquis... Although this prince, although he was irritable, he was capable, willing to do things and courage. If he tried a little, he would definitely have great achievements..."
Liu Heng had some things he didn't say, that is, Liu Qi was very unhappy with his brothers. As a concubine's son, Liu Qi's irritable temper made him unable to tolerate being bullied. He would pick up everything he could find to fight back.
Such reckless behavior does not matter if it offends a few brothers, but it is easy to offend the queen. Although Liu Heng does not like Queen Lu, after all... this is also the reason why Liu Heng asked Liu Qi to go to Chang'an to study.
"I want to go to Chang'an..."
"Go and see the start?"
Mrs. Dou wanted to speak but stopped.
Liu Heng glanced at her and said, "I can't let you go...you should know."
Mrs. Dou nodded, "I understand."
"When will the king set out?"
"I'll go tomorrow... Your Majesty ascended the throne, but I haven't visited you yet... I have to talk to you about the many situations in the southern country... especially the South Vietnamese country... I don't know if the king is
What do you think..."
Liu Heng, who had always been calm and calm, talked about the Kingdom of Nanyue, and immediately patted his forehead gently, with a look of helplessness.
Although Mrs. Dou didn't know any state affairs, she was a little curious when she saw the calm king, so she asked, "King? Has the war in Nanyue?"
"No...it's just that their prime minister had a little conflict with the censor..."
In the palace of the Nanyue Kingdom, the ministers looked at the prime minister and the censor in front of them in horror.
They were all protecting the candle fires around them, fearing that they would overturn and cause the palace to catch fire. After all, the Prime Minister and the Censor almost burned Zhao Tuo to death last time.
Even someone as hard-working as Zhao Tuo could not withstand their troubles and almost died young.
The censor Chao Cuo quickly rode on Shentu Jia, strangling his neck, "Old dog! I must kill you today!"
Chao Cuo tried his best, but Shen Tujia was a whole circle bigger than him. Shen Tujia fell back and Chao Cuo was almost crushed to death by him. Shen Tujia leaned back a few times with the back of his head, and Chao Cuo's nose suddenly came out.
After the blood was exhausted, the soldiers around him rushed up and pulled the two apart. Just as they were pulling, they did not forget to punch each other.
The ministers in the palace have long been accustomed to this scene.
Since Shentu Jia and Chao Cuo were left in Nanyue, their conflicts have been constantly intensified. All the strategies of the two people in governing the country cannot be said to be the same as the same path, the coincidence, or they can only be said to be in the opposite direction and contrary to the rules.
Shentu Jia is naturally the Wangling style, and governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food.
Chao Cuo is also Liu Chang's style, so Nai Gong doesn't like to eat small fresh food!
As a result, an irreducible conflict broke out between the two. The ministers in the palace stood on both sides, one side was anxious and the other side was slow. The situation that Liu Chang expected did happen. The development of Nanyue was neither fast nor slow.
In some aspects, Shentu Jia won, while in some aspects, Chao Cuo had the upper hand.
For example, on the issue of canal transportation, Shentu Jia firmly believed that the people's power could not be used on a large scale, and prepared a ten-year plan. Chao Cuo was eventually defeated. On the issue of Kaixian education, Chao Cuo won, and in Nanyue.
County schools were built everywhere, and a group of people were forced to be teachers and enlighten and educate.
Fortunately, both of them are more rational. Although they both want to kill each other, after the policy is determined, they did not think about sabotaging each other and deliberately made things difficult for each other because they are not stupid. They both understand that some fights can be done.
, Some fights are likely to happen if they are involved.
The ministers looked at the two three dukes and looked at each other.
Who can persuade these two?
Then everyone shook their heads again. Even the king could not stand them and fled to Nanyue. Who could persuade them to stay?
......
Zhao Tuo looked at the newly built city wall in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"This is taller than the city wall of Handan... If the construction is completed, it will be the number one city in the world."
Zhao Shi, who came to greet A's father, asked curiously: "How about the city walls of Xianyang, Qin?"
Zhao Tuo just glanced at him, sighed, and said nothing.
Zhao Shi looked at Ah's father who was continuing to rush, noticed that the general beside him lowered his head and laughed, and couldn't help but ask, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Uh...never, it's just... Xianyang has no city walls."
"No wonder Qin State will perish. It's so poor that it can't even afford to build a city wall..."
"this....."
After a long journey, Zhao Tuo finally came to Chang'an. With Zhao Shi's greeting, Zhao Tuo entered Chang'an. As his identity, he came to Chang'an. It was supposed to be the emperor who sent everyone to welcome him, and even came to welcome him by himself.
It’s not impossible, but the only one who came to greet him was this unreliable son, and even Zhao Mei didn’t come.
In response, Zhao Shi explained: "Your Majesty is busy with serious matters...I can't come."
Zhao Tuo immediately asked, "Did you go hunting or drink?"
Zhao Shi shook his head and said seriously: "I am really busy and serious."
"Ha...what serious business?"
"The princes and kings rebelled."
"ah???"
Zhao Tuo was shocked, and the princes and kings treasons rebelled? How could this be possible? Liu Chang was in control of great power, and the Han Dynasty was at its peak. Which princes and kings dared to rebel?
But Zhao Shi did not deceive him.
At this moment, Liu Chang was sitting in the Xuanshi Hall, looking at Youzi who was tied up in front of him, and he really didn't know what to say.
Liu Zuo knelt in front of Liu Chang, his face full of grievance.
"Father Zhong saves me!!"
Liu Pei is Liu Fei's eleventh son. After the death of King Liu Fei of Qi, Liu Chang signed his sons as kings on a large scale. Liu Pei, the legitimate Liu Pei, was named King of Jiaoxi, which was in Liu Jian's.
Next door, the two of them are one east and one west. Although the names are similar, there are still big differences. Jiaodong is prosperous and there are many county towns, while Jiaoxi... There are too few county towns and are called half-county country.
Liu Xu is still very young, younger than Liu, and only older than Liu Jian.
Liu Chang snapped the case suddenly, and Liu Xie shrank his neck in fear.
"Why are you treasoning?!"
"Father Zhong! I have never rebelled!"
"No treason? You brought soldiers from all over the country, wearing armor and crossbows, and wanted to attack Jiaodong Kingdom, but you still said you did not rebel?!"
"I'm either going to attack Zhongfu, I just want to try what it feels like to lead troops to fight..."
Liu Su looked aggrieved. As the son of the generous King of Qi, this guy is not like a father at all. After all, he is like Zhongfu. This is also one of the traditions of the old Liu family. Since Liu Bang, the emperor or the royal family
The descendants usually don’t look like fathers, they all start to look like Zhong’s father, such as Qi and Heng, Che and Qi... The similarity is relatively low, but if you look for them from Zhong’s father, you can find a very high similarity.
.
And this guy, Zhongfu is obviously Liu Chang... This guy has never been able to win the crown, but he is very brave and powerful. Of course, he is not as perverted as Liu Chang, but the four of Anqing Qixian are together.
He is not his opponent... In addition to his high military power, he also likes to fight very much, is obsessed with collecting armor and weapons, and likes to go to school every day.
Jiaoxi's army accompanied him to play war games every day.
But this time, he was probably playing with it, leading the soldiers around and rushed into Jiaodong Kingdom. Liu Jian didn't care about this stupid person. Forget it, just play, but Jiaoxi Kingdom
The Prime Minister Ling Mian was not so easy to talk to. He directly took down his own king on the charge of treason, put it in a prison car and sent it to Chang'an.
After Liu Se explained to Zhong's father pitifully, Liu looked helpless.
"Ha, look at what you do, you will be with people all day long, drinking, hunting, playing, and fighting... Is this what the princes should do?!"
"Why can't I find a normal person in this royal family? Who can't learn well? I have to learn from King Zhao!!!"
Liu Chang scolded him, saying that Liu Xie couldn't raise his head.
"I like to play, right? I like to fight, right?"
"Don't play in Jiaoxi anymore. I'll send you to a fun place where you can play slowly!"
Liu Changda waved his hand and the second candidate sent to the Western Regions was immediately... When he learned that he was about to go to the Western Regions, this guy was also not afraid of it and was happy.
"Father Zhong!! The Western Regions are so good! Are there Huns there?! Can I bring my armor and crossbows? Actually, I secretly hid some of them, but they didn't find them when they caught me!"
"roll!!!!"
Liu Chang carried this guy and threw him out.
Liu Jue got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, then grinned and bowed three times in the direction of Xuanshi Hall, "Thank you Zhongfu! Thank you Zhongfu!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out, but happened to meet four people coming here.
Liu Xiang raised his head proudly, "Who are you?"
Zhou Chang looked at them and shook his head. The content of the royal family members was getting higher and higher. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, so he turned around and walked into the hall.
"Your Majesty, please give me a sincere reward to the Prime Minister of Jiaoxi!"
Liu Chang looked at Zhou Chang in surprise, "You came hurriedly and waited outside the door for so long to reward the prime minister?"
"Your Majesty... After the founding of the country, the princes and kings were in power and had great power, and they even...ah, the country in the country is definitely not a good thing. The princes and kings acted recklessly and held great power, but this time, the prime minister took it.
After giving up the princes, this is a good thing... it is the best thing for the Han Dynasty in recent years."
Zhou Chang calmly analyzed: "In the future, the vassal states are getting smaller and smaller, and the power of the princes is also decreasing. If the prime minister can be superior to the princes, he can change the country to a county...
The Prime Minister becomes a county magistrate, but he is nominally the Prime Minister... The unrest that the princes can cause will no longer exist..."
Chang Liu laughed, and with a smile, he threw the edict just written on the table to Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang picked it up and saw that the reward for Ling Mian was given to him.
"It turns out that Your Majesty has thought of it for a long time..."
"yes...."
Liu Chang said proudly, suddenly realized something, and said angrily: "Now, when you come, everyone will think that it is your credit. I say it is yours, and they will not believe it!
!!”
