The next day, as soon as Liu De got up, he heard that Wang Hui of Daxing was imprisoned for questioning, and Tao Qing, the imperial censor, was dismissed from office for being stupid.
"It's really your own fault!" Liu De sneered and concluded.
He feels very comfortable now.
There is nothing more satisfying than watching your enemy suffer misfortune!
However, as refreshing as it was, Liu De knew that he was about to face a huge trouble.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, since the position of imperial censor has been vacant, Chao Cuo's ascension to the position is unstoppable.
In the design of the political structure of the Han Dynasty, one of the most important responsibilities of the imperial censor was to provide a backup for the prime minister. Once Chao Cuo became the censor, he would be more aggressive in promoting the policy of reducing vassal status.
Why?
Take credit!
Emperor Gao has an appointment, and he will not wait until he has merit!
According to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, no one but Chehou can be the prime minister!
Today's Prime Minister Shen Tujia is over seventy years old. How many more years can he remain in the position of Prime Minister?
One year? Two years? No more than three years at most!
Moreover, for an elderly person of this age, accidents may happen at any time.
Liu De felt that if he were Chao Cuo, he would be very anxious, even to the point of losing his mind!
Among the ministers of the Han family, who doesn’t want to be the prime minister?
What's more, Chao Cuo is still a political figure with lofty ambitions!
This is the real reason why in his previous life, after Chao Cuo became a censor, his policy of cutting down the feudal vassal suddenly became radical, bold, and even unscrupulous. Even his father was so desperate that he committed suicide!
Without it, it would only make the mind dim.
But now, once Chao Cuo takes over, Liu De feels that he will be more radical, bolder and even crazier than in his previous life!
Because in the previous life, Tao Qing could still control his position as prime minister and proceed according to his plan.
And now, God knows when Prime Minister Shen Tujia wakes up in the morning. He falls or chokes on his drink of water, and then he can no longer attend the government...
If this happens, then Chao Cuo will have to say goodbye to his position as prime minister.
If it were Liu De, he wouldn't be able to hold it back!
"Power makes people crazy..." Liu De also sighed with emotion.
We often see examples in history books of many famous figures whose IQ suddenly dropped sharply or even became negative.
Have those people really lost their IQ?
As long as we delve into the reasons, we can always see changes of one kind or another that force them to take risks.
"I should take this as a warning!" Liu De warned himself in his heart.
Political matters can never be rushed.
Chao Cuo died because of the word "hurry".
This was the case in the past life, and it is probably the same in this life as well.
Liu De walked a few steps and told Wang Dao: "Send a few people to watch the Kaifeng Marquis's residence. When the Tingwei goes to visit the Kaifeng Marquis, come back and report to me!"
"Also...tell Zhang Tang and ask him to tell his friend who is working at Tingwei's residence to take good care of Wang Hui..."
Gongyang Chunqiu said that the hatred of the ninth generation can be restored, let alone the hatred of the past?
Liu De did not add insult to injury and kill all the Tao Qing family. He himself felt that he was really magnanimous!
"No!" Wang Dao nodded and left as ordered.
The descendants of the old Liu family have always had such a character that they must retaliate against others.
Therefore, Liu De did not intend to be secretive.
If he still has to worry about face or reputation in this matter, then he will undoubtedly tell others clearly: "I'm easy to bully, and I won't retaliate. Just whip me as much as you want..."
After finishing these things, Liu De spread his hands and asked the maids on the left and right to change his clothes.
The poor maid who served him was trembling with fear after hearing the murderous and unabashed words of His Highness just now, and her little hands were all trembling.
Liu De also smiled when he saw it.
Legend has it that Qin Shihuang was able to maintain his authority without anger. The maids who served him in daily life did not dare to raise their heads every time he changed clothes.
In fact, there is no one who really has the spirit of a bastard and does something big. If he kills many people, it will naturally make people afraid.
"What are you afraid of?" Liu De said calmly: "I don't know how to eat people!"
Little did he know that what he said made the two maids even more frightened. They trembled and reluctantly helped him change his clothes and put on his hat.
Liu De was too lazy to say any more.
He turned around and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Go back to Your Highness..." A maid replied: "It should be Chen time now!"
"Yes!" Liu De nodded, took a few steps forward, and rehearsed in his mind what he was going to say.
Now, at this time, Zhang Tang and others should have been on their way to welcome the homes of the twelve scholars personally designated by Liu De.
Liu De suddenly thought of something interesting to him... Zhou Yuan, who was wearing a vest, must not have expected that he would be selected.
Liu De is really curious, what will happen when he finds out?
Did he pee in fear and immediately go to the palace to plead guilty?
Or will he be so scared that he disappears?
Don't think that favored ministers and favored ministers are domineering people.
At least, in the current Han Dynasty, the so-called favored ministers and favored ministers are all honest ministers who abide by their duties.
The favor of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty goes as quickly as it comes.
Anyone who thinks he is favored can act tyrannically, then Zhao Tong is an example of these people!
Liu De remembered that in his previous life, even though Zhou Ren was in the emperor's heart, every time the cheap daddy asked him who was a good minister and who was a bad minister, he would always be obedient and not say a word.
Therefore, his favor has never ceased.
…………………………………………
Zhou Yuan is really frightened now!
It's okay to take the exam under a false name. As long as no one exposes it, who dares to say that he is not the one?
But……
He stared blankly at his name on the cloth.
Even though he was only the last one, even though he was only an exam for a prince.
But, Tianjia is Tianjia!
The actions of Emperor Liu in the past few decades have profoundly taught the princes, nobles, and fortunate ministers - don't try to be clever or petty in front of them, and don't think you can take advantage!
If Zhang Shizhi hadn't been smart enough to admit his mistakes in time and reflect deeply, he might be a corpse now.
Deng Tong was relatively stupid, so starving to death on the streets was considered benevolence.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and ran home immediately. As soon as he entered the house, he asked his servants to prepare thorns for him. Then he took off his clothes, carried the thorns on his back, and ordered the servants at home:
"Prepare a carriage for me immediately. I want to enter the palace. In addition, have someone go to Ganquan Palace immediately to inform my father and tell him that I have entered the palace to plead guilty!"
After making arrangements like this, Zhou Yuan sighed.
In today's world, not only the princes of Che are walking on thin ice, but also the families of their favorite ministers, who are not trembling with fear?
If anyone thinks that the Liu family is easy to bully and can be deceived, then please go to Tingwei Prison to see Wang Hui, and go to Kaifeng Marquis Mansion to see Tao Qing!
