Liu Che, wearing a golden sword, sat at the head of the hall in the landlord's house named Zhang. At this moment, the living room was brightly lit both inside and outside.{
Hundreds of soldiers surrounded the originally quite large courtyard.
The soldiers with bright armor and murderous intent let all the villagers, including the landlord named Zhang, know that these were not two nephews and relatives named Bo, but the uncle named Liu was clearly here!
All the legends and rumors about today's youth are now perfectly revealed to the people of Yue Mating.
There is no one who is not trembling.
Just before midnight, Xinfeng County Magistrate Zhang Duan and county captains, as well as a large number of officials, large and small, were escorted by a group of soldiers to this small courtyard.
"I'll beg you to see me..." Zhang Duan knelt down with a slight trembling, and said helplessly with a bitter look on his face along with his colleagues who were also unlucky.
And as Zhang Duan knelt down, the people of Yuemating finally knew that their guess was true.
It turned out that the two young men who were named Zhihou's nephews were really the two sons of today's emperor. One of them was even the 'Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's designated successor' who had been deified by propaganda. Today,
The Prince of the Supervisory State!
Unlike Zhang Duan and other bureaucrats who were frightened and trembling, the farmers immediately cheered when they saw this situation.
In their view, the emperor is always clear-minded and cares for the people.
It was all those corrupt officials who deceived the emperor.
Now that the prince is here, these corrupt officials may all lose their heads!
Sure enough, in full view of everyone, the young prince who was sitting at the top suddenly stood up and walked out step by step with a sharp sword that shone with cold light.
The prince of the Han family walked up to the bureaucrats kneeling in front of him and asked calmly: "Where is the magistrate of Xinfeng County?"
When Zhang Duan heard this, no matter how scared he was, he had to crawl out. He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Duan is here!"
He seemed to think for a moment, then kowtowed and said, "May I ask if your family has any teachings?"
In Zhang Duan's view, the most urgent task is to understand why the prince is angry?
Only then can we find a solution.
Maybe you can get away with it?
As a qualified official, Zhang Duan's cleverness and thinking are naturally very fast!
But Liu Che just glanced at him and laughed out loud. "Are you Xin Fenling? That's great! It's very unpleasant to look at you alone!"
Then, there was a flash of cold light and blood splattered everywhere.
A good man's head suddenly fell to the ground, and an official wearing a county magistrate's robe fell to the ground.
Suddenly, the whole world seemed to freeze.
Everyone was so frightened that they forgot to breathe, forgot to speak, and even forgot that they were still alive.
A county magistrate with a rank as high as a thousand stones. Just like that, without trial, conviction, or even arrest, he was killed directly. His head rolled on the ground, and the blood spurted out, staining the ground.
The red color, illuminated by torches, is particularly oozing and frightening.
Liu Che, however, had enough time to pick up a rag and wipe the blood on the sword.
kill?
For him, this is the first time.
To be honest, he felt a little disgusted and even more afraid.
After all, for a member of the well-dressed royal family, killing someone is indeed a bit too scary.
However, with such a big scandal happening in Xinfeng County, it is impossible not to kill people.
We really wanted to bring it to the court, but the county magistrate is actually still alive.
That would undoubtedly cause an earthquake.
At that time, for the sake of their own wealth and their own future, the court officials, imperial censors, the prime minister's internal history, and related officials will all fight Liu Che desperately.
They have two pronunciations for official, and shamelessness is synonymous with them.
In order to clear his name, Liu Che believed that these guys could do anything!
Back then, didn't Li Si and Zhao Gao actually tamper with the First Emperor's edict and grant the death of Prince Fusu and General Mengtian just for the sake of their own wealth and life?
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Gao and Li Si definitely made great contributions to the death of Qin II!
Therefore, Liu Che did not dare to gamble at all, and the courtiers would willingly plead guilty.
What's more, it is not in the interests of the Liu family, let alone Liu Che's own interests, to overthrow the imperial family, the imperial censor, and even the prime minister Yigu Nao all at once.
Therefore, the magistrate of Xinfeng County, whether he knew about it or not, must die!
And he must die now!
Otherwise, if he is allowed to live in Tingwei Prison, God knows how things will develop?
As for Liu Che cutting off his head with a sword, to a certain extent, it was indeed inappropriate.
The government and the opposition will definitely discuss this issue.
But apart from that, Liu Che is convinced that he himself will not suffer any loss, and maybe the emperor will even reward him!
Hey, back then, the emperor's father smashed Prince Wu to death with a chessboard in downtown Chang'an!
Who has ever seen him be reprimanded for this?
In today's world, the king is the king and the minister is the minister.
If you want me to die, I have to die!
This is the greatest truth, this is the greatest justice!
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Che acted without any scruples.
After calming down for a moment, Liu Che handed the sword in his hand to the attendant next to him, and then asked coldly: "Where is my husband?"
A small official who looked like a strong-backed man walked out of the line to pay homage cautiously: "I'm here..."
"Kill..." Liu Che gave a calm order. After receiving the order, the prince's guards immediately stepped forward and pierced his chest with a sword.
To kill a little coward, Liu Che would not have to do it himself.
Otherwise, in the future, if a mark of filial piety is left in the history books and the emperor kills his husband An Rong, then future generations will not laugh to death?
With the death of these two people, the judicial process of this matter has actually come to an end.
The person directly responsible and the most responsible person are dead.
No matter how idiot the bureaucrats in Tingwei Yamen and Yushi Dafu Yamen are, they still know how to make peace with each other.
Liu Che turned his back, faced the courtyard, and said loudly: "These two thieves have destroyed the place, forced the people not to raise their sons, and brought disaster to the country and the people. I killed them on behalf of the emperor. Do you have any objections?"
nonsense?
Who dares to object?
Countless bureaucrats looked at the corpse lying on the ground and cursed in their hearts.
So they all kowtowed: "The sage in the family, I will bow to you!"
Although I still don’t know exactly what is going on, this does not prevent bureaucrats from giving full play to their strengths - since the matter has nothing to do with them, they should quickly draw a clear line with the unlucky guy!
"Hang the heads of these two thieves to the top of the city of Xinfeng County so that the people can see what will happen to these thieves who harm the people!" Liu Che ordered.
This order made many bureaucrats feel like they had toothaches.
"It's really Liu's style..." someone sighed with emotion.
The old Liu family has always been this way. What they like most is to hang the head on the wall after killing someone.
At that time, Peng Yue was like this, and later Zhu Lu was like this. Even the head of Liu Bi, the king of Wu not long ago, was also treated in this way.
But, just a county magistrate is too much to make a fuss about, right?
"Wang Dao, please tell me why these two thieves died, right?" Liu Che waved his hand.
Wang Dao nodded immediately and came out to explain the matter again.
To be honest, if most bureaucrats were touched after listening to it, it would be a complete lie.
In today's world, infanticide is a common practice. In the eyes of most gentry, this is not a big deal!
Some of them even drowned their children with their own hands.
This is a custom and a tradition.
Even the emperor can't control it!
However, this time, the man named An did something a little more arrogant. In Guanzhong, he actually dared to play like this. It was like seeking death!
"What a pity, Mr. Zhang..." Some people sighed in their hearts. In this person's opinion, Zhang Duan is capable and smart. What's even more rare is that he is a pure one of his own. He is the county magistrate and the landlord of Xinfeng.
The gentry benefited a lot, but it's a pity that he died like this...
Of course, they were not stupid enough to express these thoughts. Instead, they immediately beat them up one by one.
An official who looked like a county lieutenant was the first to go out and pay homage: "The wise man of my family has killed the thieves who harmed the people, so that the common people of Xinfeng can be protected from the poison of these two thieves. I kowtow and thank you on behalf of the people of Xinfeng!"
As soon as this person moves, others immediately follow.
Officials may not be proficient in other things, but there is no need to learn how to flatter others. Each one is better than the last!
Liu Che looked at these messy guys, and a trace of disgust flashed in his heart.
The quality and ability of officials are really worrying!
If something like this happened in the Great Celestial Empire, and the country's second-ranking leader personally committed suicide, the local bureaucrats would have to make profound criticism and self-criticism, and then, according to the instructions of the leader, produce hundreds or even thousands of people.
Thousands of various fancy articles explain from 365 angles why that guy deserves to die, why the leader is right to be angry, and the people of the country can be saved.
Then there are countless red-headed documents, n various symposiums on the spirit of xx speeches and study lectures.
It's a pity that no one among these bureaucrats has thought about this issue except for patting themselves on the back.
The manuscript that Liu Che had prepared felt like a punch on cotton. It was extremely uncomfortable!
This is still Guanzhong!
It is conceivable how poor the quality of officials in the vast areas of Kanto, especially the southeast and southwest regions, is!
Liu Che estimated that in those remote areas, there wouldn't be many literate people in a county, right?
Given the situation, it is obviously unrealistic to expect too much from the quality of bureaucrats.
There was no other way, so Liu Che could only go into battle shirtless and start to be seductive. He hoped that one or two of these fools would be slightly politically sensitive and think about it carefully.
"Since the founding of Emperor Taizu of Gugao, the Han family has always made living and feeding the people their first priority. There is no greater contribution to the livelihood of the people! Therefore, my Han family has made recuperation and recuperation a national policy. We do light corvee and pay little tax, and ride in the mountains, rivers and salt ponds.
Ban, and allow the people to farm, fish and hunt freely, in order to increase the number of households, restore production, and make the world healthy!"
"Drowning and abandoning infants and not raising children are bad habits and customs. I think they should be banned and spread throughout the world so that the people will understand that it is the destiny to have children and reproduce. But drowning and abandoning babies for no reason is not a good idea."
This is a sin committed by Heaven, and there is nothing to pray for!"
After Liu Che finished speaking, he sighed. He didn't know if any of these people knew what he meant and were willing to come out and be the vanguard...
Drowning and abandoning babies among the people, this kind of thing must be banned, whether from the standpoint of a ruler or a person!
Population is both a burden and wealth to a country.
Over the past fifty years, the population of the Han Dynasty has increased rapidly.
In half a century, it has almost doubled, and it is now close to or even exceeding the peak period of China's population before the war in the late Qin Dynasty.
This has led to various problems such as the intensification of land annexation.
But, on the other hand, the more the population, the stronger the country will be!
A very simple principle is that for every additional person in the family, the Liu family can receive an additional oral tax every year. If it is a male, then after he turns twenty-three, he will have to bear the responsibility of serving.
Therefore, the more people there are, the more things can be done.
Therefore, Taizu Taizu of later generations said - There is strength in numbers.
This is indeed a wise saying!
You can imagine that if China now has a population of 100 million, with the martial arts of the Han Dynasty and the level of reserve construction and mobilization capabilities of the private sector, the Xiongnu and the Western Regions can be prepared to kneel down.
The Xiongnu only had a total population of two to three million, and the countries in the Western Regions had a combined population of several million, and only a few of them were crushed!
Therefore, this is where Liu Che really gets angry.
Drowning and abandoning babies is tantamount to killing those people who may provide him with food and supplies in the future. If this trend is not stopped, there will be only a number of drowned children born in the first and fifth months every year plus various other problems.
The drowned child will cost the treasury an unknown amount of money!
And this is absolutely not allowed!
Therefore, in Liu Che's view, what the husband named An did was really a crime against God and there was no prayer for it!
In front of Xantou City, he was given an advantage!
If possible, Liu Che also plans to build a kneeling statue of him made of iron and live forever, letting the world's spit whip him!
It's a pity that even though Liu Che was done talking, Xinfeng's bureaucrats still showed no reaction.
In other words, they have never thought about these things at all.
Guanzhong has been at peace for a long time, with singing and dancing for more than fifty years. Local affairs, such as building canals, building new water conservancy projects, and repairing roads, are all handled by the Shaofu.
It is indeed difficult for these gentlemen who want to broaden their thinking and vision to look at the whole world and focus on the future besides sitting on the heads of the people and domineering them!
On the contrary, the few people who were following Liu Che thought quickly and understood immediately.
The prince is trying to use this matter to interfere in the prime minister's affairs.
To be precise, they want to turn the Prime Minister into a puppet!
The reason is very simple. In the Han Dynasty system, isn't the prime minister's duty to serve the emperor at the top, to protect the common people at the bottom, and to pacify the barbarians abroad?
The current Prime Minister Zhang Ou cannot help the Emperor anymore, and few people in the barbarians are willing to take advantage of him. If the power of civil affairs is taken away, won't he become an empty frame and an eraser?
Suddenly, people were excited.
The greater the authority of the prince, the benefits to his close followers and followers are obviously obvious.
Maybe, taking this opportunity, a few lucky people will stand out and become new political stars like Zhang Tang and Ji An.
After understanding this, how can Liu Che's followers still endure it?
Everyone couldn't wait to show off in front of the prince.
However, at this time, no one knew that a drastic change was imminent. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
