At this moment, Lu Lu was tied up by the pavilion chief.
Lu Lu had a look of helplessness on his face, he was a majestic man like Marquis Jiancheng.
Even if he is caught, it should be the Tingwei who comes to arrest him. If he is caught by the pavilion chief, what should he do?
Although Lu Lu also has martial arts, it is obviously incomparable to those carefully selected doctors. Moreover, Mr. Lu has made a lot of money these days and enjoyed himself all day long, and his physical fitness has continued to decline. Therefore, he still
Before he could mount his horse, he was held down by the angry farmers.
Then he gave it to the chief of the pavilion.
"This guy is an accomplice. There is also a tall man with that kind of figure. He didn't want to serve the country and went to the battlefield, but he came here to trample the farmland. They ruined an acre of my land!
If a group of dogs invaded, I will definitely report it to the county government!"
The farmer spoke with a Kansai accent and was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
The chief of the pavilion is a short man with a very powerful beard. He is about forty years old. There are several pavilion soldiers standing next to him. At this moment, they can't help but curse: "There are so many people running away now, punishment is inevitable."
, However, if we catch this accomplice, we may be able to catch the other key criminals and pardon us..."
The pavilion chief stopped them. He looked at the aristocratic man dressed as a wealthy man in front of him, but there was not much fear in his eyes. If he had been given ten courages in the past, he would not have dared to arrest someone who looked like an aristocrat.
, but now, times have changed.
His Majesty is very partial to the common people and low-level officials, but he is quite harsh on the wealthy and powerful.
Even the largest Chehou in the country has to be careful. I don’t know how many people are watching them. Every year, many Chehous are deprived of their cities or expelled from the country due to various crimes, and newspapers report about these things every day.
News, for example, a certain prince hit someone with his car, killing the person, and the country was eliminated. A certain prince contacted his friends to retaliate against the officials who provoked him, and the country was sentenced to death.
Zhang Shizhi is an extremely serious person and doesn’t care whether you are a prince of Che or a royal relative. It turns out that one of Zhang Cang’s sons was caught by Zhang Shizhi’s men because he harassed civilian girls on the street, and was sentenced to exile and thrown into disgrace.
When he arrived at Xiting Kingdom, he immediately reprimanded Zhang Cang in court for lax discipline. Zhang Cang did not dare to reply, but just lowered his head and confessed. That was the third prince of the dynasty, the most beloved teacher by the emperor, Zhang Shizhi.
If this is the case, let alone others?
Liu Chang even encouraged officials from all over the country to enforce the law impartially, and specially identified some officials who enforced the law impartially and publicized them as positive models.
I have to say that the newspaper is really a big killer. It is always releasing the current direction of the temple towards the officials. Yes, today's temple encourages "strong officials" and the atmosphere is to appreciate those who are upright.
People despise those who bow to the powerful.
The director of the pavilion asked the farmers about what happened, recorded it, and drew a portrait of the criminal according to their description, and then returned to his pavilion with the criminal.
"Name?"
"I...I am not an accomplice, I just saw them having a conflict and came to dissuade them..."
"Name?!"
"I hold a high position and you cannot interrogate me. It is best to ask Chang'an to come...or ask Tingwei to send someone. This is for your own good!"
"Threatening the chief of the pavilion will be punished with an additional penalty! Record it."
Lu Lu looked around and said aggrievedly: "Let me go, I will promote you, and I can give you as much land and money as you want..."
"Intent to bribe is an additional crime and recorded!"
"Name?!"
Lu Lu couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Lv Lu, the Marquis of Jiancheng!
"
The chief of the pavilion was stunned, raised his head, and looked at Lu Lu in front of him. Lu Lu gritted his teeth and said: "I am the Marquis of Che of the Han Dynasty, a personal attendant of the emperor, and the son of the empress dowager. I can order the officials of the imperial court to come!
"
"age?"
"..."
After recording Lu Lu's information, the pavilion chief asked about his accomplices again, but this time, Lu Lu did not dare to speak. He just lowered his head and remained silent. Finally, the pavilion chief escorted him to Chang'an.
Sent to the county magistrate, who will conduct further interrogation and cross-examination.
Chang'an made Xuchang look at the escorted Marquis Jiancheng in surprise. The head of the pavilion bowed to him and told him the exact location of the matter.
"The man at the head was extremely tall, probably about nine feet tall. He was riding a white horse, and there were seven or eight armored men beside him... After being chased by me, they fled immediately. Their horses were strong and I couldn't catch up.
, I can only watch them escape..."
Xuchang was dumbfounded as he listened to the pavilion chief describing the image of the chief criminal. He looked at the ruthless man in front of him with uncertainty, and immediately stood up. For some reason, his expression became a little polite, and he said with a smile: "Come on,
Please sit down, please sit down and talk..."
........
Liu Chang hurriedly returned to the palace, entered the Houde Hall, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the doctors around him, and asked, "Lu Lu will not betray me, right?"
Li Guang shook his head, "Jian Jiancheng will definitely not do it."
"Those farmers who bully the small ones are not heroes! And you guys, watching me being scolded, don't even dare to talk back. It's really disappointing!"
Liu Chang looked at these doctors displeased.
These noble sons and nobles carefully selected from all over the country lowered their heads, and Li Guang refused to admit defeat and said: "Your Majesty, we are all...how can we quarrel with those farmers? If Your Majesty
Give the order and I can take care of them all by myself!"
"Oh, clean it up? We trampled on the farmland first, and when they come to hold us accountable, you still beat them up? I don't notice it on weekdays, but you are so good at beating us?"
Liu Chang's eyes fell on Li Guang, and Li Guang immediately felt the danger, "No, I mean... I'm just giving an example..."
Li Guang is good in all aspects, but there is one thing that makes Liu Chang very uncomfortable, that is, he thinks very highly of himself. There are many arrogant people around Liu Chang, and Liu Chang himself is also the same. He is arrogant and arrogant. In the past, he was like Chen Ping and Zhou Bo.
, Xia Houying and others are all arrogant people. Today's Jia Yi and Chao Cuo also have a sense of arrogance, but this is different from Li Guang. Their arrogance is that they look down on the people around them and feel that they are better than them.
Li Guang's pride is that he feels that he has a high status and looks down on those with a lower status than him. The two are different. If they are both offended by a small person, the actions taken by both sides may be different.
"You are all the people who follow me. You must not be able to curse people. In the future, you must practice more... If we encounter such a situation again, we can't let me fight so many people alone."
?”
"It's a good thing that Lu Lu fell into their hands... Anyway, he can afford to pay, and he will definitely be sent to Tingwei in the end. By the way, if Zhang Shizhi asks, you will say that you don't know anything. Got it?
?”
"only!
"
Just as Liu Chang continued to give instructions to the doctors, a close attendant hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty! Ting Wei Zhang Shi has come to pay homage!"
Liu Chang was shocked, "This guy came so quickly?? So efficient?"
"Quick, run away from the small door... Bring me a book quickly! Change your clothes!"
"
Soon, Zhang Shizhi dragged Lu Lu into the temple. He had a straight face and was not angry. Liu Chang didn't like Legalists like him very much. Legalists should not be like Zhang Buyi and Chao Cuo.
Do I take charge of everything? How can there be a Legalist like you?
Zhang Shizhi pushed Lu Lu in front of Liu Chang, and then bowed to see him.
Liu Chang put down the book in his hand in surprise, "Shi Zhi? Why are you here?"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Jiancheng was captured by the pavilion chief. A group of people trampled the farmland outside Shanglin Garden, arrested and fled, Marquis Jiancheng was among them..."
"Ah?? Lu! How could you do such a thing?"
Liu Chang looked at Lu Lu sadly and asked, "Did you pay compensation?"
Zhang Shizhi added: "According to their description, the leader is extremely tall and rides a white horse... Your Majesty, why is this?"
"There are actually such tall people in Chang'an? Why didn't I know? I have been studying in the temple today..."
Looking at the emperor's appearance, Zhang Shizhi knew in his heart that he would definitely not admit it. Zhang Shizhi took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, although the Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, the Han law is the rule of the country.
Basically, if the emperor takes the lead in breaking the law, how will the country be governed in the future?"
Zhang Shizhi said a lot of truths, and then left angrily.
Lu Lu sighed, "Your Majesty, why did you leave me when you wanted to escape?"
"Ahem, if you are caught by the pavilion chief, it won't be a big deal, but if I am caught, it will be infamy for thousands of years..."
"After I die, I will definitely not be able to get a good posthumous title..."
"You don't have to worry about that. As long as I'm here, I will never let you get a bad posthumous title. Even if you can't be given a Jiancheng Wenhou, you can still be given a title like Yi or Su."
Liu Chang comforted Lu Lu, and then said happily: "Today's big men are really different. The people are brave and brave. It is really different from the past. I remember when I was young, I went out to play, and it was the son of Yangling Jinghou.
, can humiliate the people arbitrarily, no one dares to question the crime, and we have to deal with it ourselves... But you see now, even my posture, the people are not afraid, and they dare to come forward and abuse..."
"Faced with so many armored men, the pavilion chief dared to chase and shoot arrows..."
Liu Chang said excitedly: "This is a big man under my rule. He will not be bullied easily. He is not as cowardly as he was during the period of the faint king. Although I lost today's scolding battle, I am in a good mood.
I didn’t expect that the folk customs have become so brave.”
"Now it seems that even if I am gone, the people will not be bullied by foreign enemies!"
The surge in martial arts among the people made Liu Chang very happy.
What happened today proves that the rule of law during Liu Chang's administration was still in place. No matter the common people or low-level officials, they were not afraid because of the identity of the criminals. Zhang Shizhi, Ji Bu and the others did a good job!
While Liu Chang was bragging about his merits to Lu Lu, Jia Yi and Prince Liu An came to pay their respects.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!
"
The two of them bowed to meet each other. Liu An also came to pay homage as an official at this moment, so his expression was very solemn.
Liu Chang nodded and asked them to sit down respectively. Liu An took the seat behind Jia Yi.
"Your Majesty, we have made preparations. Here is the list. Please check it."
In these days, the achievements of the Food and Drug Administration are obvious to all. Among other things, the abolition of the curfew is enough to make them more popular. As a newly born new department, the scope of their intervention is getting wider and wider, including currency.
, the market prices are also under their jurisdiction. The newly appointed Shaofu Ling Nangongwei is very dissatisfied with this, but there is nothing he can do about it. The Food and Goods House is really too tough. Chen Ping, Jia Yi, and Liu An are in charge, and there is no one in Jiuqing.
Compare.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】
Under their control, the market prospered rapidly, and Han Dynasty's business burst out with unprecedented vitality.
Liu An handed the list to Liu Chang, who lowered his head and read it carefully.
This is a list of merchants. It records the big merchants, including their property information, as well as the goods they will bring with them to the Western Regions. It is very detailed. There are eighty-six big merchants, including Liu Chang.
Suddenly he grinned, "Come here, what kind of gift are you going to give me, Lu! Send a copy of this to Liu Jing of Hexi Kingdom!"
"
Jia Yi was startled and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! No!"
"
Only then did Liu Chang react, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm used to it. Let's do this. I'd better hand it to Liu Jing, but tell him that these people can't move. They want foreign trade, so they must pass through Hexi Country.
Liu Jing, don’t take action against them..."
Liu An then said: "Your Majesty, when will we send them out?"
"No rush...let's do it tomorrow!"
Liu An pursed his lips and immediately accepted the order.
Jia Yi frowned, "Your Majesty, but we don't know the situation in the Western Regions yet. If we go there too early..."
"You don't have to worry about this. The Marquis of Huaiyin goes out to fight in person. Just tell me how to lose. This battle can definitely be won... There's no need to wait. By the time the caravan arrives in the Western Regions, the Poisonous Man may already be there.
The Western Region is waiting..."
Several people discussed the specific details again, and Jia Yi couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Buyi and Chao Cuo once again submitted a letter asking for the relocation of the people of Yuding in the Central Plains, and also forced relocation. Do you know whether it is true or not?"
"Is it true? You have a different opinion?"
Liu An couldn't help but ask: "Father, do you still recognize them?"
"I heard that they wanted to relocate nearly a million people. At the beginning, King Qin could only relocate hundreds of thousands... If they were forced to relocate like this, it might lead to catastrophe, whether it was land reclamation or residence, including
Household registration is not something that can be easily accomplished. On such a scale, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. A small omission can cost the lives of tens of thousands of people..."
"I know that, so I asked the ministers to discuss and work out a method without any flaws."
Liu An also changed his mind directly, "Father, this is inappropriate. It will affect the reputation of the temple...it will also affect your reputation."
"The people call you the Holy Son of Heaven and admire you immensely. If you give an order like this to move forward, it will be said that all your previous efforts have been wasted..."
Liu Chang laughed, "I didn't separate their parents and wives, but moved them as relatives. Moreover, after the move, they can go back to visit at any time. Why did I restrict them from going out? After all, the cultivated land in the Central Plains is limited.
, Unless Shang Fang makes something new, there will be no way to support so many people. If I don't do anything because I am worried about my reputation, then all my efforts will be in vain!"
"But...."
"It's nothing, An, you have to remember that everyone has their own responsibilities, and the emperor's responsibility is to protect the people from disaster...Govern the world well and let the people live a good life, can you
It's good to think about the people, but this matter is from a long-term perspective. We can't just look at the current situation. People today live very well in the Central Plains. The land of Liang State is fertile and the atmosphere is relaxed. People are not willing to
leave..."
"But, what about the future?"
"This is for the long term. People today may be reluctant, but at least we can avoid widespread famine in the future... Leaving your hometown reluctantly is better than starving to death at home, right?"
"As long as you let the people have enough to eat, the people's hearts will naturally belong to you. If you let them not have enough to eat and starve to death, no matter how many so-called benevolent policies you implement, it is just an invitation to name a name and is of no use..."
"To be a king, you do not necessarily have to have the moral character of Yao and Shun, but you must have the political achievements of the First Emperor... For the emperor, only political achievements are the standard to measure him. Otherwise, no matter how high his talent and learning, his moral character
How noble he is, if it prevents the people from living a good life and prevents the country from becoming strong, then that is his dereliction of duty!
"
Liu An hesitated for a long time, but could not find anything to say to refute his father.
My father, who is serious, is an all-rounder and top-notch in all aspects.
Looking at the thoughtful Liu An, Liu Chang grinned, "So, instead of thinking about how to persuade me, it is better to think about ways to settle the people so that they will suffer less. I have done so much in these years.
As long as the people understand that this matter is for future survival, they will understand, otherwise, wouldn’t my actions over the years have been in vain?”
From beginning to end, Jia Yi didn't say much, but listened carefully to the emperor's story.
"The matter of foreign trade has been settled in this way. The highest priority goods are grain, and then cotton. Lichen... told the merchants that if anyone dares to get some flashy things, let them give them to them.
Liu Jing, let Liu Jing watch carefully!
"
"Okay, let's go out!
"
Liu Chang waved his hand and refused to say more.
When leaving the palace, Liu An seemed to still be thinking about his father's words. Looking at the prince who was deep in thought, Jia Yi just said calmly: "Your Majesty loves the prince."
"Oh? How can you see it?"
"This matter should have been worried about later, but His Majesty did not want the Crown Prince to bear a bad name, so he decided to handle it himself... Your Majesty wants to bear all the bad reputation and give all the credit for future achievements to His Highness."
Liu An was silent for a moment.
Jia Yi added: "Your Majesty has always been like this. He even bears the notoriety of usurping the throne, and of course he doesn't care about other things... It's just that there are too few people in the world who can understand His Majesty..."
Liu An was stunned, turned around and walked towards Houde Hall again.
Jia Yi raised his head and smiled softly.
