The elders always said that the temperaments of the officials of the Han Dynasty were compromised. If you asked Liu Jing to rule the powerful, they would definitely disagree, but if you asked Chao Cuo to be used, they would agree.
Liu Jing officially took over the affairs of governing the powerful from Chao Cuo.
Although Liu Jing is not much better, he is still much better than Chao Cuo. The development of the entire Han Dynasty seems to be moving in an increasingly radical direction. Chao Cuo thinks Liu Jing is not radical enough, while Zhao Yu and others
I also felt that Chao Cuo was not radical enough, and in the future I might think that Zhao Yu was not radical enough.
When such a situation occurs in the world, there is a high probability that there will be a great king who is very happy with his achievements and constantly urges everyone, causing the policies to become more and more urgent, and the same goes for people.
After the officials impeached Chao Cuo and Liu Jing came to power, someone finally pointed out this problem.
Someone openly wrote a letter to the emperor to remonstrate the emperor's behavior, pointing out seven shortcomings of the emperor, one of which was "If the king is eager for quick success, there will be many impatient and cruel officials."
After Liu Chang saw the letter, he was so angry that he couldn't eat. It is said that he drove out of Weiyang Palace and the person who wrote the letter became known to the world.
The soldiers stationed at the door were furious when they saw His Majesty. They stood on the chariot and roared as they quickly left the palace.
Before they could recover, they saw His Majesty driving back, and on the chariot lay a tied up young man. Liu Chang seemed to be driving back to the palace with a trophy.
Liu Chang sat in the upper position, his eyes full of anger.
Liu Chang was stunned.
"Of course your Majesty is a wise king like Yao and Shun, but even Yao, Shun, and Yu would not be able to see clearly their actions because of the lack of people like Yi Yin and Lu Wang around them. People in the world admire your Majesty very much because of your contributions.
, so I dare not speculate in private, but I think that it is precisely because of your majesty’s wisdom and merit that we should be more diligent in admonishing. How can your majesty’s reputation be damaged because of some trivial things that are not worth mentioning?
Woolen cloth?!"
"Um."
This was many years earlier than in history. This was mainly because Liu An ordered the restructuring of the Imperial College, which led to this person coming to Chang'an in advance. Just like the revelation in Liu Chang's dream, this person chose to submit a letter directly to the emperor after arriving in Chang'an.
In history, this man directly wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, reprimanding him severely. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was shocked and angry, and summoned him. He immediately discovered this man's talent and worshiped him as a doctor. From then on, this man wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty many times.
, he had to submit a letter almost every month, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also happy to hear it and did not persecute him for it. Of course, he was eventually executed for other crimes.
"oh."
Liu Chang lowered himself to let her see. Liu Jian looked at the chubby Youzi, feeling very fond of her and begging for a hug.
She didn't like her eldest brother's mansion. The people here were very boring and everyone said things she didn't understand.
"The reason why I want them to know about the petition is that while admonishing Your Majesty, I can also admonish these sycophants!! These sycophants all think that Your Majesty is a cruel and unkind king of Jie and Zhou! They think that Your Majesty cannot listen to advice!
! They clearly know the shortcomings but dare not write a letter to inform Your Majesty!! Your Majesty, isn’t their behavior the behavior of a sycophant?! Only I know that Your Majesty is a wise king who has never been seen in the ages! Therefore, I want to write a letter! I want to persuade
Remonstrance! I want them all to know!! Your Majesty will not kill people because of other people’s advice! Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor who obeys the advice of others!!!”
He was very curious, how on earth did this man get promoted after writing a letter to admonish his father?
Master Fuyan did not look tall, but he looked really arrogant. Facing the prince's scrutiny, he did not retreat at all, and even looked at Liu An a few times.
"You wrote a letter to insult me, why should I thank you?! You are such a jerk, do you know how Kuai Che died?!"
"When I was in Taixue, I heard many absurd remarks many times in Taixue. I was vaguely dissatisfied with Your Majesty and deviant. However, Your Majesty was too doting on them and actually allowed them to publish various articles to cause trouble. Exchange of knowledge is not
It is not allowed, but it is unjustifiable to arbitrarily criticize the policies of the current dynasty and attack the three public officials and nine ministers. These imperial students have never even served as officials in a township. Do they know the principles of governing the world better than the ministers of the current dynasty?
??"
Liu Chang then continued to look at the young man, "What is your name? Master."
"Hahaha, are you also a man? You are not taller than me. How old are you?"
Liu Yao scolded, and Wei Wenjun timidly stopped and looked at the tall girl in front of him, his face flushed and his eyes full of fear.
Wei Wenjun naturally did not dare to resist. Liu Yao watched him eating snacks and patted his shoulder proudly, "My name is Liu Laowu! If someone bullies you in the future, tell me by my name! Do you understand?
?!"
When Lu Lu led his father Yan away, Lu Lu looked at this very arrogant young man and couldn't help but remind him: "You are still young, so you should do less admonitions in the future. Liu Jing originally
Just because you advised and opposed His Majesty, you were sent to the Hexi Kingdom. You don’t want to go to the Xia Kingdom at a young age, right? If you really want to dissuade, you can do it through gentler behavior. Don’t do this again.
Oh, you are not Chao Cuo, Chao Cuo is often punished for admonishing."
"He is from Qi State."
"Your Majesty! Although this person is suspected of selling his direct name, he is still young after all, so just treat him as ignorant and forgive him for once."
"Your Majesty! Fuqiupo, the original leader of Taixue, is not a direct minister! He flatters Your Majesty all day long, talks about things that are known to everyone, and tries to gain His Majesty's favor through flattery. What kind of person is Your Majesty? How can Your Majesty do it?
Will you reuse others because of their flattery? When I arrived at Taixue, I wrote a letter and cursed Fuqiu Bo. Shen Pei came to persuade me, so I cursed Shen Pei. Later, Wang Gao came to me, and I cursed Wang Gao."
"Moral kidnapping, right?! Then you are wrong. I have determined to be the king of Jie and Zhou since I was a child!"
Liu Chang, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, stood beside Liu Chang and couldn't help but dance, "I want to see Youzi!! I want to see Youzi!!"
But while he was irritable and strong, he was also very Legalist. He knew how to cater to the emperor, flatter the emperor, and get himself reused. He was the most staunch sycophant.
The family was having a good time, and Prince An of course wanted to stand outside the door. He mainly wanted to see the young disciple, his father Yan.
This is not something you say casually.
Seeing that Liu Chang was no longer so angry, Lu Lu hurriedly gave him a step up.
"Can't this hereditary title be slightly changed? If the heir has merit, it can be hereditary. If he has no merit, his estate and title will be reduced. How can a wealthy family retire with the country?!"
"Your Majesty! I have always been magnanimous! I don't associate with villains!"
The young junior was sitting next to Liu Chang. He was weak and thin. Sitting next to Liu Chang made him look even more pitiful. Despite this, he still raised his head forcefully, saying that he would never give in.
"Your Majesty can allow them to talk about knowledge freely, but you should not allow them to criticize the temple at will. Once it starts the precedent for Tai students to participate in politics and criticize, it will definitely cause great chaos in the future!!"
The master's father was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
"Then why do you speak with a Zhao accent?"
"They are all young, easily deceived, and brave. Your Majesty should strengthen management."
Liu Chang reacted quickly and grabbed the young man's fate by the back of his neck again.
But now it seems that this boy is quite good at talking. He doesn't look like a Confucian scholar, but more like a political strategist.
The emperor's grandson, Liu Qian, does look similar to Liu Chang. He has a tiger-like head and a big head. He will grin when he sees Liu Chang. They are definitely of the same origin.
"I would rather die than change my loyalty to His Majesty!!!"
Liu Chang's hand directly grabbed the back of his neck, as if strangling a cat.
Zhu Fuyan's character was very irritable. If he was born without food, he would be cooked by five cauldrons. These words were his famous saying.
Liu Chang sighed, slowly stroked his beard, and couldn't help but look at Lu Lu.
Liu Chang lowered his head again and looked at this "upright but tough" young man, "Today is the day you die, what are your last words?!"
Zhufu Yan became famous in Chang'an immediately by writing letters of advice.
Wei Wenjun's face turned red, "Originally, I called him Changjun because of taboos."
The young man said with a louder voice than Liu Chang: "I don't know!! But I would rather die than give up my loyalty to you!!! I want to be loyal to you!!!"
Sima Xi's writing hand became faster, as if it was about to burst into flames.
"His Majesty, out of benevolence, has not severely punished the Chehous from various places. The temple has repeatedly attacked powerful people. But can the harm of powerful people be greater than that of such powerful families? If these powerful people can inherit the style of their ancestors and contribute to the country,
It's okay to die for your majesty, but in the local area, they mostly do evil and bully the people. While your majesty orders the punishment of powerful people, you should also attack these powerful families. The disasters caused by powerful families are far greater than those caused by powerful people!"
But Zhu Fuyan's attitude towards Liu An was not very enthusiastic, and could even be said to be a bit indifferent.
Wei Wenjun was about to agree when he suddenly felt something and turned around suddenly.
"I'm not scolding you, I'm just admonishing your majesty!"
"yes."
"If you target a wealthy family for no reason, it will naturally be like this. However, why do you want to get rid of them? Chao Cuo can restrict the princes and kings, can't your Majesty restrict the wealthy family?!"
The young man said loudly.
"Okay, I know why you were fired. No wonder you can't be tolerated everywhere."
Suddenly, a person walked towards her. He raised his head, saw her, and immediately turned around and ran away.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"My mother-in-law is here to serve the crown princess and I am at home alone. I want to go out for a walk."
Liu Yao's eyes lit up and she took a few steps to catch up.
Liu Chang threw the guy out directly. Damn it, how could he kill him like this?
But after being pushed out by Liu Chang, not only was this guy not afraid, he actually came over again.
Just now, he thought that this boy was going to be beaten to death by His Majesty. Since Zhou Chang's death, almost no one dared to point at the Emperor and scold him like this, except of course the elders. But the boy in front of him was a person who was being beaten to death.
The person expelled by Taixue was only over 20 years old. How dare he write a letter criticizing the emperor and make the content of the letter known to the whole city. Isn't this asking for death?
"I'm five years old"
"Today!!! Your Majesty will beat me to death!! I will definitely write a letter to remonstrate!!"
"You are indeed a talented person. Let's make you a doctor and stay by my side from now on!"
"My name is Wei Wenjun."
The master did not panic, "Your Majesty!! What I said is not that Your Majesty is weak, but that Your Majesty is too kind. Your Majesty's kindness and love are naturally a blessing to the people of the world, but there are always traitors who take advantage of Your Majesty's kindness.
!”
"How about cooking it?"
"You can't call a five-year-old man a big man. He is a little man, you know? Come on, eat!"
Lu Lu, who was from a wealthy Han family, turned pale, but didn't say much.
Because of the cold weather, Liu Chang did not want his grandson to come to see him in the palace, so he came to Liu An's mansion to see his grandson.
She is like a proud big rooster, patrolling her own territory, swaggering.
Zhufu Yan's voice was loud and full of energy every time he spoke. However, it was wrong to talk to the emperor like this. It would be considered disrespectful. Fortunately, Liu Chang didn't care about this. He waved his hand casually and said, "You submit a letter
I've read everything about impeachment, so I won't say more about the first few. But you said that I am too weak in dealing with things. I don't quite understand that. I am still weak... So how can I be considered tough?
"
"Master father Yan!"
Liu Chang muttered a few more words.
He said loudly and left here.
"I once followed Duke Shen."
Liu Chang was a little angry and spat in the direction of Sima Xi, "Let him remember!! Can you remember me to death?!"
"I heard that you studied at Imperial College? I wonder who you studied under?"
Wei Wenjun looked at the snacks in the other person's hands and still shook his head, "My grandma said that a man can't eat for nothing and I can't eat your food in vain."
"Remonstrance? You wrote this letter to denounce me. Your words are full of disrespect. What kind of king do you think I am?!"
"You are not tolerated by them again, right?? I heard that you are the first Taixue student to be voluntarily expelled since the establishment of Taixue?? Why is Taixue not allowing you??"
Liu Chang frightened him, and then said disdainfully: "You say you are loyal to the emperor, but why did you make this matter so public? Isn't it just to gain fame? When Zhang Shizhi came to slay the prince, you
How brave you are to come and attack me!!"
From a distance, he looks like Zhou Chang, and from close up, he looks like Zhang Buyi. What a talent. He can actually bring together the personalities of two completely opposite ministers!!
Master Yan's face turned cold and he scolded Lu Lu: "Can flattery be used to govern a big man? You follow the Holy Emperor all day long, but you don't dare to dissuade him. Could it be that what you mean now is an allusion to the Holy Emperor?
Can't the emperor tolerate remonstrance?! I will not associate with such a flattering villain!!"
Liu Chang was thoughtful and asked: "The powerful have done nothing for the country, but the powerful families have contributed to the country. If we deal with it casually, will everyone in the world not dare to serve the Han anymore?"
"It is an honor to die in the hands of the Holy Emperor. If I can let His Majesty know a little bit about my shortcomings through my own death, I will die without regrets!!"
"Oh, Mr. Shen Pei, Confucianism is really full of talents. I thought only Gongyang was like this, but I didn't expect that there are people like you. It's really enviable."
"I have food here, do you want to play with me? I can give you the food!"
"In all these years, no minister has ever dared to abuse me like this!"
"Hahaha!!"
Liu Chang held his eldest grandson in his arms and ignored them. Instead, he spoke earnestly to the maid and Tiying who were taking care of the child, "It's cold now. Don't run around with your child. Even the Queen Mother wants to see him.
Don't take him to Changle Palace and wait until the weather gets a little warmer. The queen made several sets of clothes for the child herself and will send them over in a few days."
"Lu, how do you think we should deal with it?"
While everyone was busy, the little princess wandered around in the backyard.
After Zhufu Yan became famous, many people wrote to him, hoping to invite him to the banquet.
The conversation between the two was really awkward, and they couldn't stop talking after a few words.
"Your Majesty, please read my letter carefully!! I sincerely advise you!! I definitely don't mean to seek fame! Your Majesty is the only emperor in the ages, and he wants to achieve unprecedented great things. You must not let this omission ruin the great event."
Once!! It’s a pity that I can’t witness His Majesty’s great deeds with my own eyes!! I just ask Your Majesty to bury me in the suburbs of Chang’an!! I want to die facing Your Majesty!!”
Not only Liu Chang was shocked, but Lu Lu was also shocked. This guy is a talent!
Liu Changruo looked at his master Fuyan thoughtfully, and did not agree or rush to refute.
Liu Yao nodded and looked at the frail guy in front of him, "What's your name?"
Liu Chang was in the inner room, holding his beloved grandson in his arms and couldn't put it down.
Liu An looked at the young man in front of him curiously. Of course, Liu An also heard about the deeds of this young young man.
Lu Lu couldn't help but grit his teeth. If this were outside the palace, I wouldn't beat you out!!!
Lu Lu returned to Houde Hall with a dark face, "Didn't His Majesty just ask me how to deal with Master Fuyan?"
Lu Lu hurriedly cleared his throat and signaled to His Majesty, Sima Xi, who was immersed in writing furiously not far away.
The Lord's father held his head high and held his chest high, "I first learned the art of vertical and horizontal in Qi, but later I realized that it was difficult to become a great weapon, so I studied the Spring and Autumn Period and Yi. There were many villains among the Confucian scholars in Qi State, and they had slanderous remarks about Your Majesty. I argued with them and was killed.
They did not tolerate him, and then he went to Zhao, and he was not tolerated by them, and then he went to Yan, and he was not tolerated by them, and then he came to Tang."
"A native of Zhao?"
"Hahaha, Wenjun? Why does it sound like a girl's name?"
"If you yell again, I'll cut out your tongue!!"
"stop!!"
As a result, everyone who invited him was scolded by him, pointing at their noses and yelling curses, which made them unable to get off the stage.
I saw an extremely burly man standing in the distance. He had never seen such a tall and burly man in his life. The man was so tall that it was a bit scary. At this moment, he was lowering his head and looking at this scene with a complex look on his face.
Uncertain, and beside him, stood another person, much thinner, but staring at him with the same complex expression, with the same uncertain expression.
"Father!!!"
"Brother!!!"
ps: According to the historical line, Wei Qing's eldest brother is fourteen years older than him, so Wei Qing and the eldest princess are not of the same generation. He is younger than Liu Qian. Liu Qian is about the same age as his sister.
