Compared to Chao Cuo's strong orders, Liu Heng was better at listening.
Compared with Chao Cuo, who is hated by people and disliked by dogs, Liu Heng is very popular among people.
When Chao Cuo became the imperial censor, he quickly caused disagreements in the court and the ministers were in an uproar. However, after Liu Heng became the censor, he quickly brought harmony to the ministers and everyone was united. Even if they had different opinions, they were gone.
Arguments from the past.
Liu Heng has a very strong affinity, and he is not as rude as the elders. He makes the ministers harmonious and stabilizes the temple. There are indeed few people who can compare with him.
Within a few days after he took office, the conflicts in the temple were eased, and the ministers were no longer as angry as before when they met.
Liu Heng set an example by treating ministers courteously, fully listening to their suggestions, giving correct advice, reminding them of their mistakes, and focusing not on punishment but on education.
In just a few days, Liu Heng won the hearts of the people in the court. From top to bottom, even Lu Jia, who was most opposed to him at the beginning, was unwilling to speak ill of him anymore.
After experiencing an evil censor like Chao Cuo, this new censor is simply too reliable!
The officials in the Yushi Mansion were directly recovered by him. He did not even exclude the team left by Chao Cuo. He did not form another team. It was Chao Cuo's group who dominated and started a governance style that was completely different from Chao Cuo's.
, the officials were surprised to find that these vicious dogs under Chao Cuo had become so gentle, well-behaved, and so polite under Liu Heng's command!!
This is really incredible.
Of course, the court meeting started. The ministers were restless, and the Taiwei's face was as gloomy as water. Liu Heng still asked the Taiwei for his opinion many times, and encouraged everyone to speak enthusiastically and listen to Taiwei Qu's opinions.
"I'm not the worst offender. The worst offender is my two teachers. They always praise Prime Minister Zhang's contribution to everyone they meet. They never forget to praise Prime Minister Zhang. When they meet him, they even pay homage to him to reassure him.
Recuperate. With his attitude like this, how can my teacher dare to hide at home and have fun? This has made him feel uneasy. He has been struggling with whether to go out to do errands all day long. So far, he has completed three errands. As for the Taiwei,
It would be even worse. I was deceived by him and others, and I was completely dizzy. I went to bed early and got up early every day to participate in government affairs, without a day's rest."
The majestic censor of the Han Dynasty could actually think of their inconveniences and difficulties.
How could anyone dare to go in? The Taiwei never participated in court meetings and looked down on them at all. They did not dare to come into contact with the Taiwei.
The same is true for Liu Heng when facing his colleagues. There will be no chatting over wine or long conversations, just some subtle movements. Xia Houying has some problems with his ears, so whenever Liu Heng discusses things with him, he will amplify his own.
sound so that he can hear it clearly.
Liu An was also wearing very simple clothes at the moment. His father-in-law cared about this very much. Since he became the censor, the ministers in the court did not dare to dress too well. The carriage was almost replaced by a donkey carriage. Even his father,
They all restrained themselves a lot and did not dare to eat meat openly. My father-in-law secretly asked him to reward meritorious officials and soldiers with all the fine clothes he wore on weekdays. My father was so heartbroken that he could not sleep at night.
"We should set up a set of family rules and let them learn riding and archery, classics, calligraphy, governance, and swordsmanship from an early age. Let them study all day long. Set up the most stringent assessment until they reach adulthood, and then go to do corvee service.
, at least twice, and only after doing this can you go out and become an adult! From the emperor to the princes and kings, this should be the case!!"
"Humph, I said the same in front of him. He hides in the Jiaofang Palace all day long to enjoy himself and does not deal with government affairs. All major matters are left to the ministers. How can there be an emperor like him in the world? The extravagance of the entire Han Dynasty,
They were all brought out by your father!"
Since Liu Heng became the Third Duke, he has the power to open a government and recruit officials, but Liu Heng only recruited one person, the prince of the dynasty.
"It's gone, it's all gone. I only saved six of my fine clothes and four carriages. All the good things I collected have been given out as rewards."
The officials sat in front of him and reported political affairs. Han Xin listened very carefully. Sometimes he reprimanded them for their mistakes, and sometimes he rewarded them.
When Liu An returned home, he saw the desperate faces of the three of them, smiled, and walked directly into the inner room.
The lieutenant said nothing, but stared fiercely at everyone.
"Why, you are afraid that I will be disadvantageous to your fourth brother, so you come to me to complain? It seems like a scolding, but you excuse him every time? Do you think I will be afraid of him and want to kill him?"
"The Taiwei, of course, is here to discuss state affairs. To discuss state affairs, how can there be no Taiwei?"
Shen Tujia was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, if we come here without warning, we are afraid that we will anger the Taiwei."
"Hahaha, if Mom wants to be so sarcastic, I know I can't hide it from you. Aren't I afraid that someone will talk nonsense in front of you and affect the harmony of the family?"
Liu Heng gently stroked his beard, "The Taiwei has the virtuous demeanor of ancient times, and the ministers are frightened by him. In fact, it is a different kind of resistance. The Taiwei feels this, and naturally he is unwilling to contact them, but when the ministers
When the lieutenant begins to show his trust in him and tries to rely on him, the lieutenant will no longer be cold-hearted. The lieutenant needs to be respected and valued by others, whether it comes from above or from below. And the lieutenant is strong.
Everything in the temple will be much easier if he is here to help."
The Taiwei woke up from his sleep again, sat on the bed and began to doubt life.
"Ah? What do you mean, mother?"
Liu An was no longer as restrained as before, and said with a smile: "Father Zhong actually said that my father is the king of Jie and Zhou. I will definitely tell him one day!"
Queen Lu murmured: "It should have been like this from the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have raised such a arrogant person like you!"
Liu An was shocked.
But from the beginning to the end, Liu Heng never talked about the official system. Instead, the ministers were always writing about various trivial matters. After the court meeting was over, everyone left one after another, leaving only a confused Han Xin.
Comparing this with Chao Cuo, he is like a saint!
Liu Heng worked so hard that others did not dare not to work hard.
Liu Heng said to Liu An displeasedly: "As the third prince, the Taiwei cannot avoid government affairs. How can we avoid him just because he likes to be clean?!"
Liu Heng's role was not only to bring harmony among the officials, but also to inspire their fighting spirit.
"I've been wearing these clothes for four days!"
Liu Chang looked at Empress Lu and said seriously: "Mom, now I realize the happiness of my second brother. He has been lost to me again. Now I start to miss Chao Cuo again."
Sitting in front of Empress Lu, Liu Chang shook his head.
Liu Chang pointed to the red Chu suit on his body.
Lu Jia was old and had a sore throat and a lot of phlegm. Whenever Lu Jia came to the Yushi Mansion, he would never forget to put a spittoon next to Lu Jia.
Both of them agreed, and Liu Xuan pondered for a moment, "We also went to serve in the army. I remember it was very hard at the time, but when I think about it now, I feel it was not that hard. It's a pity that I only have a daughter now and no son, otherwise I would have to be sent."
Go to the place to do corvee work. By the way, Qi, don’t you have a son? Let your son also follow them to do corvée work?”
In the end, Liu Ci was unable to avoid his fate. Cao Shu, Liu Chang, and Empress Lu all agreed with Liu An's order.
He is always the first to come to the Censor's Mansion and the last to leave.
Ever since, the Han Dynasty's strongest censor and his strongest personal secretary were mixed together. Liu An followed Liu Heng all day long, listening to his attitude towards the ministers, helping him revise documents, and listening to his opinions.
Teaching is like a closed disciple.
Why the prince is here is a long story.
Dong Zhongshu and Xia Houci were more unlucky. They did nothing and had to go to do corvee service because of Liu Ci.
The Taiwei began to listen to their speeches, even began to answer Liu Heng's inquiries, and began to make decisions!!!
The Taiwei's Mansion suddenly became lively. Ministers came here all day long to discuss important matters and start court discussions. In addition to court meetings, Liu Heng sometimes came alone to ask the Taiwei for his views on some policies.
The minister also followed suit and learned to come to the Taiwei's house to ask for advice. Everyone no longer resisted the Taiwei, no longer feared the Taiwei, and truly regarded the Taiwei as a Taiwei. Han Xin changed from a man who seemed important but always far away from power.
The core non-staff personnel have officially returned to the core level of the temple and have become direct decision-makers.
"He wakes me up every morning and tells me the results of the previous day and the things to be done today. He also doesn't allow me to yawn."
"Why did you come to me??"
Liu Chang's face suddenly became a little panicked, "How is this possible? My mother is the most virtuous person in the Han Dynasty, how could she do such a thing as murder?"
Although he was not happy, he changed his clothes and held a meeting in the Taiwei Mansion. This was the first time that the Taiwei Mansion became so lively.
Liu An shook his head, "As expected of Father Zhong, I have learned a lot from following you these days."
Chengyang King Liu Zhang's head almost exploded.
The officials followed him to the destination, with some fear in their eyes.
Empress Lu frowned suddenly, "Most of today's clan members cannot be reused and have been naughty since childhood. This is really inappropriate!!"
My father-in-law had just come to Chang'an and met the ministers. Although he did not do it deliberately, he had already won the hearts of the people, making even the embroiderer leader frightened.
Only Liu Chang was the most open-minded, without the slightest fear. Hearing that Liu Heng had won the hearts of the people within a few days, he threw up his head and laughed, happily continuing to enjoy himself in the harem. Today, he finally realized the power of Emperor Xiaoren of the Han Dynasty.
hapiness!!
But on this day, Liu Heng summoned his ministers again, but it was not in his mansion.
They are currently in the prince's palace, their eyes full of sadness.
"A few days ago, Liu Liang came to me crying and said that you wanted to demote Liu Ci. Is this true?"
Han Xin was stunned. Could it be that there was a restructuring?
Liu An pursed his lips and whispered in Liu Heng's ear: "Father Zhong, the Taiwei doesn't like others to disturb him."
"Father Zhong is right!"
When Han Xin saw the room full of courtiers, he was a little shocked. He was wearing obscene clothes and barefoot, but the courtiers did not dare to laugh at him and stood respectfully in the courtyard.
Later, the Taiwei no longer always stayed in his own mansion, participated in court meetings more and more often, and no longer seemed indifferent to the officials.
On the third day, the ministers came in force, but Han Xin was already dressed in formal attire and started waiting for them in advance.
Before Liu Xun and Liu Qi left, Liu An called them over, asked them to help with something, and sent the three princes to Longxi on the way.
He fully respected the different ideas of his ministers and never got angry or reprimanded them for their whims. Instead, he discussed with them extremely seriously, with gentle words and a sincere attitude.
"He actually prepared more than eighty carriages alone. What does he need so many carriages for?"
"There is no reason to be reluctant. General Xiahou Ying was so happy that he sent someone to deliver Xiahou Ci to the Prince's Mansion that day."
Han Xin was quite angry. Nai Gong was sleeping soundly in the house, so he insisted on waking me up and talking about a lot of nonsense. Was he kidding me?
Immediately, he left a warning to Liu Heng: If you dare to disturb me again, don't blame me for drawing my sword!
But the next day, Liu Heng once again led a mighty team of ministers to the Taiwei Mansion.
Before the officials could be surprised, Prince Liu An agreed and went directly to see him.
"Well, it's a good thing to make this guy suffer."
"An, the governance of the country does not rely on knowledge, but on people. As a king, you must set an example, think of others first, and treat others with sincerity. If you think too much, you will inevitably fall behind. If you want to accept others,
These things should have been taught to you by your father, but you cannot learn from your father. If you learn from a nondescript person, you will easily become like Jie and Zhou.
the king of
"An, the son of a prince, is also taken care of by him. It is said that every day's memorials have to pass through his hands. He has not been home for two days."
"Send more people, don't let anything happen."
Immediately, Liu Heng took the initiative to knock on the door.
Liu Heng became very angry when he said this. Liu An cleared his throat and said, "I don't know, Father Zhong, but my father has his own theory on eating meat. He often says that the more meat you eat, the more things you can do."
The ministers just felt like they were dreaming.
Liu Heng frowned, "Temple matters should be decided by the three princes. Today, the left prime minister is in Xia and the right prime minister is recuperating in the palace. Naturally, they have to come to discuss with the Taiwei. Moreover, even if they are still in the temple, they should also discuss with the Taiwei.
It is the duty of the lieutenant to discuss with the lieutenant!"
According to the Taiwei's words, he is like a good general in the temple, who can encourage the morale of the whole army and lead the army by example.
The old lady still sneered, "Don't worry. Although I'm old, I'm not that confused yet. You don't need to pretend to be in front of me. Heng is also smart. After coming to Chang'an, he has never intervened in any military affairs. He
They are also guarding against me. However, I don’t care about this. I am old and my confidants in the court have already resigned from their positions. I am not as good as you, the grown-up emperor."
Liu Qi's eyes widened, "Are you still a human being? My son Rongcai was born at the same age as Qian, and you asked him to do corvee service??"
Even Prime Minister Zhang came forward to help Liu Heng several times during his vacation. It was because of his uneasy conscience that the princes and kings took the lead and started working hard. Do the ministers dare to neglect him?
Changle Palace, Shou Palace.
Liu Chang shook his head hastily, "There is no such thing, it's An. An felt that Zhu Zi needed training, so he planned to let him go to Longxi for half a year to serve as a corvee. Dong Zhongshu and Xia Houchi also wanted to go together. Zi Zhu didn't want to go.
, I have not seen him who has been crying and crying these days."
Liu An laughed and said, "Ah, you should give birth to a son as soon as possible, and then we will send these three princes to accompany them."
Liu Heng recruited him as Chang Shi, that is, his personal secretary.
Empress Lu sneered, "Do you think I'm old and confused?"
Liu Heng never acted like a prince. He ate and lived with many officials. He took the initiative to share government affairs with them, sought benefits for them, extended their rest days, and if they had to work overtime, he wrote to them asking for subsidies. Liu Heng refused.
Like Liu Chang, he paints a big picture. He always starts from the details and takes the initiative to do small things for the people around him to make them willing to serve him. For example, a small overtime pay, such as a few more repairs in the Yushi Mansion.
The officials of Yushi Mansion were extremely moved by the fact that he was a vassal vassal.
"You should eat as much meat as you do, but you should consider what kind of meat you eat, and enjoy it in a moderate way. How can you be extravagant and hurt the people?!"
Empress Lu nodded, "Dong Zhongshu grew up with Ci since he was a child, but Xia Houci is Xia Houying's grandson. Are his family members unwilling to let him do corvee service?"
"Don't worry, Mom, there will definitely be someone watching and won't put him in any danger."
When Liu Chang heard this, he clapped his hands hurriedly, "Mom is right! That's how it should be. I studied hard back then and suffered a lot. Nowadays, these scoundrels are becoming more and more unbearable and doing more and more evil.
More, I want to sharpen them all, I will give the order to establish the family law!"
The Taiwei actually started to reward the ministers!!!
His mansion became cleaner, and there were more and more carriages parked at the door.
Queen Lu asked.
While Father Zhong was reviewing the memorial, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Father Zhong, the Taiwei has not participated in government affairs for twenty years. How do you know that he will accept it?"
Liu Heng's personality is not like that of Emperor Gao at all. He is an absolute alternative.
The venue Liu Heng chose for the meeting was actually the Taiwei Mansion.
Liu Heng's reputation in Wu State was very good, and his reputation in the Han Dynasty was also very good. However, the ministers did not have an intuitive impression of what kind of person he was. They only thought that this man was very frugal. But after getting along with him, these ministers
I finally understood why the people of Wu only recognized their king and not their emperor. No wonder Chao Cuo was so opposed to this person coming to the temple. Really, it had only been a few days since this person came to the temple. If he had lived there for a long time,
That's really scary.
"Well, let alone what will happen in the future, just say that now, my father has become the imperial censor, which will be a bad thing. He will be the first to read many of my letters in the future. How can this be?
OK, Ann, do you know when he plans to go back?"
"I don't know. Anyway, depending on what he means, it will be three to five years at the earliest, right?"
But Liu Xun was very happy, "It is better for Zhongfu to be the imperial censor than to be Chao Cuo!"
"I heard that San Zhongfu was overjoyed when he heard about this. He wrote to the temple and asked himself to be appointed Taiwei!"
