Chapter 600 On that day, the crown prince was ruined
Three or four days later, the matter in Xu County was in a turmoil in Chang'an.
The matter is true. Zhou Yi was arrested that day, and his father Zhou Kaifang was also arrested. As the grandson of former prime minister Zhou Chang, Zhou Yi did such a thing, and the impact was extremely bad. This was almost the
Zhou Chang lost all his face.
Just as the ministers were waiting for the emperor's thunderous anger, an explosive news suddenly spread.
Your Majesty wants to relieve Ji Bu and use Chao Cuo as the censor.
When I first heard this news, the ministers didn't believe it. Who is Chao Cuo? He is just a reckless and utilitarian young man. He has no contribution or prestige. He is worthy of being the third minister.
??
The best candidate for the third duke is Lu Jia. Even if it is not Lu Jia, there is Wang Tianqi. Even if it is younger, there is Luan Bu, and even Jia Yi, Liu Jing, Chai Wu, etc., can also be held. How can you do it?
It's not that guy's turn to take charge.
However, a few days later, when the emperor personally appointed Chao Cuo as the Third Duke during the court discussion, the ministers could no longer sit still.
The three dukes are not appointed, but are worshipping. This is the special nature of the three dukes. Other official positions are to thank the emperor first, and the emperor returns the gift, and then take responsibility. Only these three dukes are the emperor who has to worship him first and ask him to serve as the three dukes. He has to
Return the gift and then take it again.
Just by the procedures for advancing, you can see the value of the three common people.
The ministers watched the emperor pay homage to the new Censor. At that moment, the court affairs were immediately in full swing.
Chao Cuo became the censor, what's wrong??
But Liu Chang did not ask the ministers for their opinions at all. Even when it comes to the candidates of the Three Dukes, the ministers had no right to speak. To worship the Three Dukes is the exclusive power of the emperor. Others are not even qualified to comment on whether the Three Dukes are qualified, because the Three Dukes are
Those who are responsible for them cannot comment on their immediate superiors, nor can they make decisions. The only one who can decide is the emperor.
Chao Cuo seemed to have been dressed up carefully. Under the witness of his ministers, he put on a crown and a suit, and formally gave him a gift to the Three Dukes.
All of this was so fast that the ministers had not yet reacted, and a brand new three-monarch was released.
At this moment, Chao Cuo stood beside Zhang Buyi and Zhang Cang, turned around and stared at the ministers. His eyes were lit, his mouth was grinning, and his white teeth looked a little scary.
"Your Majesty, today your Majesty will worship me as the third one. In the future, you must abide by your duties, assist me, and govern the world well. If you violate the law and discipline, I will never think of your personal relationship."
"only..."
The ministers answered very powerlessly, and their eyes were filled with despair.
Liu Chang did not interrupt Chao Cuo, allowing Chao Cuo to show his majesty in the temple. Zhou Yi's affairs completely angered the tyrant. Since he was so soft, I'll give you a cruel one.
I see if you dare not accept it or continue to drag it.
Sure enough, Chao Cuo opened his fangs the next moment.
"Zhou Yi commits a crime and should be punished by his clan. However, Your Majesty is kind and pardons the crime of his clan and is sentenced to abandon the market! Although Zhou Kaifang, the Marquis of Fenyin, did not have the crime of favoritism, he was not strict in teaching his children, and was dismissed from his title and demoted to a commoner!
The county magistrate, county magistrate and other local officials, a total of 45 people, all abandoned the market!"
The ministers were immediately in an uproar and talked a lot.
Chao Cuo laughed, "Don't worry, everyone... The officials in Chang'an kowtowed the cabinet, all of them did nothing, did not accept grievances, and protected the powerful. There were twenty-one officials, all of them abandoned the market!"
"After accepting the case, the Tingwei Mansion delayed the handling and ignored the people's sentiment. There were six officials involved in this matter, one of whom was abandoned, and the rest were removed from official positions and demoted to Chengdan!
"Zhang Shizhi, the former head of the Tingwei Mansion, failed to discipline, delayed the official business, so he sought credit and sold his integrity, fined thirty academy, and served two years of labor service!"
"Xiahou Ying, the current chief of the Tingwei Mansion, has a bad job. I think that he is in power and has reduced his fief by 1,000!!"
"The city gate captain Lu Chan, after registering the people to sue, did not send officials to escort them, did not report to the court lieutenant, neglect his duties, and whip twenty!!"
"The guards of Tongguan Xu Kan learned that the people had made trouble after they sued the emperor, so
He refused to let go and asked for bribes. Seven people involved in the case were all abandoned!!"
"Former Censor Ji Bu, the chief censor, was unfavorable to do things, neglected his duties, neglected his government affairs, and was exempted from his title as a marquis, and fined him thirty-eighth!" "The governor of Yingchuan County Gao Yuan Hou Bingqian! The supervision is unfavorable..."
"Yingchuan Governor Taihou Daiye, the supervision is not good..."
Chao Cuo said word by word, and the ministers suddenly felt numb.
He kept saying that more and more people were affected, from local officials, officials in charge of reception in Chang'an, officials along the road, county officials in county towns, nine ministers in temples... all the ministers began to be afraid
, Will his name appear on the top? Many officials were so scared that they were trembling. This was not the same as Ji Bu. If he said he would abandon the market, he felt that if it weren't for the emperor, Xiahou Ying and Zhang Shizhi would
All of them have to be pulled out of the market by this guy!
Chao Cuo said it very carefully. He did not let anyone involved in this case go away, and all personnel dealt with it more seriously and did not care about their identity and status at all.
"I want to issue an edict. From today on, people from all over the world who have grievances can set off for Chang'an to complain at any time. Officials from all over the world must go back to report to the people so that all the people know that if there is a person who does not know what they can report, then
We must deal with local officials. Once people are coming, they must escort along the way to ensure their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Those who dare to stop them will abandon the market! Once they arrive in Chang'an, local officials must accept the case, conduct investigations, refuse to accept and delay
If you have a grievance, you cannot go to the heaven to listen. You should deal with it with a joint position!!!”
The ministers lowered their heads deeply. In this palace, they felt that even breathing became difficult.
Chang Liu sat in the upper position, his face full of praise.
It’s already a long time since I should do this. If you don’t give you a dose of strong medicine, you still dare to underestimate me?
Liu Chang simply handed over the court to Chao Cuo, and he left here directly. After walking a long way, he could hear Chao Cuo's angry roar.
"Your Majesty...you really worship him as the Censor..."
Lu Lu looked a little confused and looked dull.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing wrong. He has been a censor for less than an hour and has killed more than a hundred officials... I'm afraid that if you let him serve as a member of him for a year, there will be no one in the Han Dynasty..."
When Liu Chang heard this, he laughed.
"If there are all incompetent officials in the Han Dynasty who will only harm the people, then let them all disappear! I am looking for officials to govern the world, not to harm the world!"
Lu Lu couldn't speak immediately.
The court held a full three hours. During these three hours, Chao Cuo announced his future standards, various laws, and then eliminated more than 100 officials. The efficiency is rare in the world.
This is probably the longest time since the founding of the Han Dynasty. It was not enough to discuss the founding of the country for three hours. Some old ministers couldn't sit still and fell down, and Chao Cuo also
Regardless of him, continue his own, when he ordered the court to end, even Zhang Cang could not get up.
The ministers walked out of the palace staggeredly, but they didn't dare to support each other.
Because they were afraid that they would get too close to each other, Chao Cuo would find a reason to deal with it.
Is he governing the world? He is venting his anger. He is completely dealing with ministers to deal with ministers. What should I do?
The ministers all looked very bitter, but this time, they didn't even dare to complain.
It is hard to say whether complaining will be taken out of the market.
Surrounded by several ministers, Chao Cuo walked out of the palace proudly, got on the carriage, and went to investigate the situation. He had guaranteed the emperor and it would take a year to let the Han officials rule.
There have been some improvements, and if you want to punch hard, you must first clench your fists. There are thousands of officials in various places who obey and the censor. You have to deal with these people first and do not
Those who do things, those who are timid and cowardly, drive them out and leave some as wise as themselves, so that they can govern the world well.
......
"Brother!!!"
"
Big brother!!"
Liu Ci rushed into the inner room, but Liu An stood up in a hurry. Chunyu Tiying, who was beside him, blushed and hurriedly lowered her head. Liu An stared at Liu Ci in anger and cursed: "Sir! Why are you quarreling about?
It's noisy?!"
"Ah? The eldest sister is here too."
Liu An sighed and asked impatiently: "What are you here to do?"
"Good news, brother, Zhang Shizhi is going to go to corvee!"
"ah??"
"Really, it's spread all over the palace. Zhang Shizhi offended Chao Cuo in the past. Now Chao Cuo has become the third duke. The first order is to let Zhang Shizhi go to labor service. It is said that his family has been confiscated..."
Liu An was stunned and murmured, "Is Chao Cuo's revenge so obvious?"
"Brother, why don't you look happy at all? That guy stares at you all day long and always deals with us... Now, he's gone!!"
Liu Ci clapped his hands and cheered.
Liu An sneered, "Zhang Shizhi is gone, but there is a ruthless person. It's different from falling into Chao Cuo's hands..."
"But Chao Cuo won't just stare at us!"
"I hope so.
Liu An said, and then signaled Chunyu Tiying to leave. He pulled Liu Ci and said with a serious expression: "Ci, now my father has appointed Chao Cuo as the third duke, and has strictly enforced the administration and strengthened public order. You can do it.
Be careful, don't mess around outside. Chao Cuo had never gained power before, he was a very terrible person. Now that he has become a third duke, he will definitely be even more cruel. If he catches the handle, then you will be finished.
,Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, brother, if I'm caught, I'll say you asked me to go!"
Liu An turned dark and picked up the thing, then walked out of the inner room. This was the crown prince's palace in the palace. Liu An rarely came here. He would only come when he was on a date with Tiying and walked out with the little guy.
After the door was over, he saw several close servants at the door. Liu An asked, "Where is my father? Is the Houde Palace or Changle Palace?"
"Your Majesty discusses major events with Zhang Zuoxiang in Houde Hall."
Liu An nodded and walked towards Houde Hall with the little guy in his arms.
At this moment, in the Hall of Houde, Zhang Buyi was sincerely praising His Majesty's method of employing people. While praising him, he also expressed some concerns.
"Your Majesty, after Chao Cuo took office, he would not hide it anymore. In the past two days alone, more than 400 officials arrested and removed from him, and more than 100 people were beheaded...
The ministers dared not speak out. I was afraid that if he continued like this, he would die sooner or later in the hands of the ministers."
Zhang Buyi carefully analyzed that although Zhang Buyi was a favorite minister, he was a very capable favorite minister.
He fully affirmed all of Liu Chang's policies, but was able to provide timely advice for the emperor.
"I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid he will be assassinated... I can assign him more soldiers to protect his safety."
"There are also the few county officials in the local area... they all felt very wronged and wrote a letter to ask for a report, hoping to exempt them from punishment."
"Let them go and write to Chao Cuo by themselves, I can't control it!"
"What else is there?"
Zhang Buyi pursed his lips and whispered: "There is also the matter of Guan Hou. I have already negotiated with Guan Hou. Three days later, Guan Hou will set off for Changsha. Those selected doctors will follow him.
He has compromised the gold mine and will not say anything to the public. Do we have to change the route in the future? Avoid such mistakes? I can say a word to the Shaofu and use the name of the Shaofu in the future.
Head to transport, but..."
Zhang Buyi is worthy of being Liu Chang's number one confidant. Even Lu Lu didn't know about the gold mine, and Zhang Buyi knew about it. He was even the person in charge of these mines, from mining to transportation, and then to
Zhang Buyi is responsible for preservation and final use.
The two were plotting, so Liu An took his younger brother into the hall.
Zhang Buyi stopped saying anything more, said goodbye to His Majesty and immediately left Houde Hall.
Zhang Buyi has always been with the young masters and will never leave
Too close, keep a distance deliberately.
"Father...this is the second article you want."
Liu An took out the article from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Chang. Liu Chang looked at it carefully for a few seconds and was overjoyed, "No, good, under my inspiration, you wrote very well."
"This is still the beginning. I'm still thinking about the following content, but it's thanks to A's father. If it weren't for A's father's advice, I would definitely not be able to write so much astronomy knowledge."
Liu Chang didn't think so. He tried hard to see what Liu An wrote, let alone write. He could only say the knowledge in his mind, but he had to write it in such detail and then compile the book.
, That's a bit too embarrassing for me. Fortunately, my son is still very good at this. The article written by Liu An this time includes a lot of content. This article is about astronomy, and Liu Changcheng everything he knows
All the knowledge of astronomy told Liu An, and Liu An chose to believe it all.
In Liu An's writing, some basic but advanced astronomy knowledge was first published. I believe this will soon cause a sensation and have a huge impact on many schools.
"Although it was my inspiration, you wrote well, I'm going to hold a banquet tonight. Remember to come earlier!"
"only!!!"
"Also, what are you doing with this thing?"
"Oh, he came to me just now, so I brought him. "Take it away quickly, and throw it to your mother when the man hasn't stole my stuff yet!!"
"only!!"
Liu An finally found what he was good at, and his articles were sometimes more useful than those huge policies, and could even change the world.
At the evening banquet, Liu Chang picked up his son's article and proudly showed it to all his family. At this time, he was like an ordinary father, just simply proud of the achievements he achieved, although
Liu Chang couldn't understand this article, but he felt that he wrote it very well, and even felt like he was reading the Book of the Past Saints. After reading it, Empress Lu clearly stated that the article had already had the temperature, that is,
Han Zi's article is almost like this. Liu An summarized astronomy, mixed with the essence of his own thoughts, and wrote astronomy popularization into astronomy philosophy...
Empress Lü can understand and appreciate it very much.
People like Cao Shu who don’t understand it very well are also very happy. Her son is really promising.
The Empress Dowager sat in the upper position and proudly explained the contents of the article to her daughter-in-law. She said a few words of her own thoughts from time to time, and they were stunned. Even if the queen was still in a different position.
But a few children ran around and played and refused to sit down.
Liu Changze hugged Liu Ying's shoulder and was saying something happily to his brother.
They were filled with all kinds of meat, and Liu Chang liked this feeling very much.
Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Liu Chang felt so comfortable and relaxed all over. At this moment, he could suddenly understand why his father was always enthusiastic about hosting a banquet.
Before Ah's father passed away, he was extremely keen on hosting banquets and had to do this every two or three days.
Chang Liu couldn't understand at the beginning, but at this age, he understood everything.
Just as everyone was having fun, Liu Ying looked at Ti Ying and Liu An who were talking in a low voice, and couldn't help but ask, "An is also at the age of marriage, right? Didn't she say three years? The three-year deadline is also
arrive…"
"When are you going to let An Cheng's family?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole banquet suddenly became quiet.
Tiying blushed, Cao Shu's expression was a little complicated, but Empress Lu smiled even happier.
Liu An said seriously: "Uncle, I still have a lot to do now. I don't care so much about the love between men and women..."
Liu Ci appeared at some point, nodded and said, "Yes, you can't let your elder brother marry your elder sister-in-law... The elder brother is extremely bad to his elder sister-in-law. He always bullies her and humiliates her. If he gets married, what's wrong?"
Hearing Liu Ci
When Liu Ying smiled, she pulled him over, "Your brother bullied your sister-in-law? No, how could your brother be as gentle as his... how could he bully his wife?"
"It's true!! I once saw my elder brother pressing my sister-in-law to the ground and peeing on her!!"
"I would never use such humiliating methods when I beat Xiahou Ci on weekdays. This is too much for my elder brother! I heard that my elder father peed into someone's hat, but I never heard of someone peed on his butt in the past!
"
At that moment, everyone's eyes immediately condensed on Liu An.
