Seven hundred and sixty-two chapters hit a handful (1)
It didn't take long for Chao Cuo to come to Liu Che.
"I have been reading the memorials written by Aiqing to Taizong and the late emperor recently." Liu Che took the memorials of Chao Cuo that he dug out from the pile of old papers and said: "From my point of view, your views are indeed those of China after Jia Changsha."
There are temples that count!"
Chao Cuo was not only very good as an official, he was also very good at writing articles.
His words are like sharp swords, pointing directly to the core of the problem and the crux of the ills.
And he never hesitates to say whether something is good or bad.
For example, talking about military affairs, guarding borders, and encouraging farmers to be sparse, even today, still have many merits.
However, these two memorials were submitted to Taizong more than twenty years ago.
As for Chao Cuo in recent years, he has not been idle either.
In addition to the memorial "Cutting the Policies of the Vassal", which left his name in history, after Liu Che came to the throne, he also wrote "Rediscussing the Policies of Defending Borders and Inviting the Benefits of the People" and so on.
Generally speaking, Chao Cuo's writing, like his person, is smelly and tough.
In a hurry, he even dared to judge the emperor's actions.
As for scolding bureaucrats and princes and kings, they were never afraid to express their anger and dissatisfaction.
So, although, many people have always wanted Chao Cuo to die.
But Liu Che always spread his wings and protected Chao Cuo.
Now, in Shiqu Pavilion, there are at least hundreds of memorials to impeach Chao Cuo lying there.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise." Chao Cuo lowered his head and said humbly: "I am just saying what a crazy man said. Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise enough to choose and use it!"
Liu Che smiled slightly when he heard this.
Chao Cuo's character has never changed!
The words of a crazy man, but the wise master chooses.
This is what Zuo Zhuan said to describe Taigong Wang.
As the saying goes, "When Taigong is seventy years old, he slaughters cattle and sings to the court, sells food and supplies, and when he is more than seventy years old and the master doesn't listen, everyone calls him a crazy man."
In other words, even when this guy is humble, he is too ambitious.
No wonder, Lu Xun later became fond of Chao Cuo, saying that he was "a great writer in the Western Han Dynasty. He benefited future generations with profound benefits".
The tempers and personalities of these two people turned out to be basically the same.
However, these words also flattered three generations of Liu Che's ancestors.
If you can use Taigong Wang, King Wen and King Wu will become kings!
Therefore, Liu Che had to let him show off.
"I heard that the sages said: Rewards and punishments are meant to prohibit evil and promote good. Now you are the censor, and you have the great trust of the late emperor to assist me in governing the world and managing the country and the country. There are two or three rebellious ministers and traitors. Should you punish them?
"Liu Che stopped beating around the bush with Chao Cuo and asked straight to the point.
Chao Cuo immediately knelt down, raised his body and bowed, saying: "I have been entrusted with the great responsibility of Tuogu by the kindness of two generations of emperors Taizong and Renzong. Do you dare not to die for your majesty?"
"Good!" Liu Che nodded: "Tomorrow at the meeting, I will bring justice to Jinan. Anyone who has any objections may be a treasonous minister and traitor, and you can deal with it yourself!"
Chao Cuo was slightly startled.
Naturally, he knew what the emperor meant.
That is, whoever dares to oppose is a traitor and traitor who resists the emperor's will.
As a censor, he can handle it freely.
However, in today's court, to put it bluntly, except for a few people such as the prime minister and the general, everyone else has a bunch of cocks under their butts.
Corruption, bribery, malfeasance and bending of the law are basically done by everyone.
Even Chao Cuo is no exception.
In other words, in the court, as long as the banner of anti-corruption is raised, it will be done with certainty!
But... wouldn't this be too radical?
If some extraordinary people jump up, do they have to be dealt with?
But Chao Cuo's hesitation only lasted for a moment. He quickly made a decision and said, "No!"
"I respectfully obey the imperial edict!"
For Chao Cuo, the emperor's orders must be implemented if they are reasonable or unreasonable.
This is the fate of Legalism.
What's more, it is Chao Cuo's mission to deal with the princes and nobles!
only
"If the East Palace intervenes and intercedes, what will I do?" Chao Cuo raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"
Chao Cuo's concerns are of course very reasonable.
The East Palace has always been the protective umbrella for nobles and ministers of the Han family.
Many ministers and nobles have a close relationship with the East Palace, so even if others find out about ordinary problems, they will turn them into minor issues and nothing.
Especially those guys who had an old relationship with the two Queen Mothers in the past.
Unless they commit serious crimes that must be punished, ordinary small things, such as corruption and bribery, cannot touch them at all.
Back then, Chao Cuo went to great lengths to defeat Yuan Ang and drive him out of the court. What was the result?
Although he lost all his official positions, even his title was wiped out.
However, she has the protection and care of Empress Dowager Dou of the East Palace.
Therefore, these punishments only temporarily drove Yuan An out of the court.
However, Yuan Ang's voice and opinions could still appear in the court through the mouths of other officials and nobles.
In the past history, Yuan Ang united all Chao Cuo's political opponents and even allies, forcing Chao Cuo into a desperate situation, and he ended up losing his money and abandoning the market!
Now, if Liu Che wants Chao Cuo to direct his anti-corruption campaign, he will have to eliminate the interference from the East Palace first.
Otherwise, if Chao Cuo arrests someone, the envoy from the East Palace will come and ask for his release.
When the time comes, should Chao Cuo be released? Or should he not be released?
Liu Che naturally also considered this issue.
"As for the East Palace, there is no need for you to worry, I will personally explain to the two queen mothers." Liu Che said calmly: "You just have to perform your duties!"
Liu Che knew very well that in this matter, there should be no more womanly kindness, nor could anyone see his weak position.
We must tell the nobles, princes and kings of the world with a clear stand.
Don't seek death, you will definitely die if you seek death!
At the same time, I clearly told the world that I have made up my mind.
If he hesitates and indulges even a little bit, his plan will most likely abort!
Therefore, even Donggong cannot shake his firm attitude on this matter.
"No!" Chao Cuo felt reassured when he saw Liu Che's attitude.
As long as Donggong doesn't interfere, he can guarantee to complete the mission.
The next day was a routine morning routine.
Liu Che sat on the throne and looked at the civil and military officials of the dynasty.
"South Vietnam is attached. I have issued an edict to divide the country into seven counties: Nanhai, Guilin, Xiangjun, Jiaozhi, Rinan, Guilin, and Cangwu. Prime Minister Cangwu and the imperial censor must select and appoint members of the censorship and poetry collecting troupe.
"We must make all the rulers and ministers of South Vietnam aware of Chinese laws." Liu Che slowly made an opening statement.
The South Vietnam matter has basically been settled.
After half a month of negotiations.
Zhao Tuo, King of South Vietnam, has accepted most of the conditions proposed by Liu Che.
Among them, it included agreeing with the central government to send supervisory censors and poetry collection teams to counties in Nanyue.
Supervise the censors, supervise lawlessness, and promote Wang Hua. The poetry collecting troupe went deep into the counties and counties of South Vietnam and communicated extensively with all classes.
In this way, the central government controlled South Vietnam legally and ideologically.
Although this kind of control is not as good as the current vassal states in the hinterland of China.
But at least it must be stronger than the control of HK by **** in future generations.
Although the current Kingdom of South Vietnam is still allowed to have an army, bureaucracy and nobles controlled by its royal family.
However, the systems, laws, social structures, and hierarchies throughout South Vietnam all had to follow Chang'an.
From a legal and principle perspective, from then on, the people of South Vietnam were the people of the Han Dynasty.
Their names were registered in the household registration book of the Kingdom of Nanyue and also in the household registration book of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an.
South Vietnamese scholars, nobles and officials could come to Chang'an to take the examinations just like Chinese scholars, and were given equal opportunities to serve as officials.
After taking this step, basically, as long as Liu Che does not seek death and violently conquers South Vietnam, the integration between South Vietnam and China will become closer and closer.
In less than twenty years, just like the Changsha Kingdom back then, it will transform from a vassal state with a special status into a vassal state in a general sense.
His officials, law, army, and even the royal family will slowly be controlled and mastered by Chang'an.
Regarding this point, Liu Che's self-confidence is still very high.
Of course, by relying solely on political control, we want to completely stabilize the gains made within South Vietnam.
The results will be slower.
Usually, it's a waste of time.
We must work hard to disseminate and propagate the laws, policies, ideologies and ideologies of the Han Dynasty in South Vietnam, especially among the Baiyue tribe.
Therefore, Liu Che and Zhao Tuo also negotiated many economic assistance agreements.
It is hoped that with the help of financial assistance and technical assistance, we can achieve the purpose of accelerating this process.
"South Vietnam has been separated from China for a long time. Its people do a lot of slash-and-burn farming and do not know the use of China's advanced farming techniques and tools." Liu Che looked at the big farmer Ling Zhi and said without doubt: "The big farmer wants to be in Guandong Wu Chu Qi Lu Huai Si
Land, widely selected agricultural officials, went to South Vietnam, took turns teaching South Vietnamese people to farm and dig water conservancy facilities!"
The dissemination of advanced technology and agricultural tools to South Vietnam will also be conducive to the unification of the country and the integration of the ethnic groups.
Tribes in Baiyue have always practiced slash-and-burn farming and used primitive and inefficient working methods to obtain daily necessities.
How can this be done?
Now that Liu Che has become the master of South Vietnam and the emperor of all Baiyue tribes, he naturally has the obligation to help them transition from a primitive clan society to a civilized feudal society.
Of course, the central government cannot just pay without repaying.
In that case, wouldn’t the central government be just a capital s.b?
"In addition, I have also negotiated a plan with the King of Nanyue to exchange sugar for iron." Liu Che said to Liu She, the Shaofu's order: "The Shaofu will follow up on this plan and at the same time send skilled craftsmen to Jiaozhi, Guilin, and Rinan to guide South Vietnam.
Scholars, cultivate sugar cane, extract the sugar, transfer it to China, and then give each stone of sugar, one stone of salt, and several kilograms of iron."
Da Nongzhi had no doubts about Shaofu Liu She, so he went out to receive orders at the same time: "Promise!"
The cane sugar produced in South Vietnam can be regarded as the main cash crop in areas such as Jiaozhi, Rinan and Guilin in the future according to Liu Che's plan.
It is not impossible to grow rice and other crops locally, but the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low and it is difficult to transport them out of the area.
Instead of doing this, it is better to fully develop the sugarcane planting industry and use cane sugar as the main commodity after ensuring basic grain production.
Then, the tribes and people of South Vietnam exchanged cane sugar for a large amount of salt, ironware, cloth, and silk from China.
It's a win-win!
wrong!
Should be a triple win!
Because, there is another winner, the great sweet party!
Ever since Liu Che had people copy Liu An's invention and popularize tofu in Guanzhong, tofu curd, a magical snack, has become a snack and breakfast choice for the middle class and aristocratic families in Guanzhong.
However, China has been short of sugar since ancient times.
Now, the main source of sugar in China, besides maltose, is honey.
Obviously, under such circumstances, even maltose is very expensive.
The average middle class can't even afford it, let alone use it as a condiment for tofu puffs.
As a result, Xian Ni in Guanzhong was rampant and could even be said to be self-reliant.
This is of course unacceptable!
Introducing sucrose, helping the Sweet Party King, and conquering Xian Ni, has been Liu Che's wish for a long time.
Liu Che believed that with enough sucrose, the Sweet Party army would surely flourish.
Because humans can never resist the happiness brought by dopamine.
Complete the handling of the South Vietnam matter.
The meeting got down to business.
"You all know what happened in Jinan, right?" Liu Che stood up and said sadly: "The king of Jinan, Pi Guang, is so heartless that he actually enslaved the people of the country to break the law. Jinan is certainly guilty, and so am I.
You can’t escape your responsibility!”
"How could I have caused Jinan to be so insane and insane if I had not been so virtuous?" Liu Che squeezed out two tears and said sadly: "I should avoid the main hall in plain clothes, fast and bathe, pray to God, and ask the gods of heaven and earth not to do anything because of me.
I made a mistake and inflicted a crime on my people, and the world was in chaos because of me alone, and all the sins were caused by me!"
Faced with Liu Che's sudden change, most officials were caught off guard.
In the Han Dynasty, the emperor was always right!
Even if the emperor himself says he is at fault.
That must be because of the ministers!
How can the emperor be wrong? If there is a mistake, it must be the fault of this world!
What's more important is that Liu Che was so stubborn for a period that he didn't mention Liu Biguang's extortionate expropriations or his provoking popular uprising.
He only mentioned the issue of "encouraging the people of the country to break the law".
People who don't understand the laws of the Han Dynasty may think that this crime is similar to petty theft and is punished with three drinks of wine.
But, in fact, this crime is an extremely serious crime in Han law!
After Liu Bang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he ordered Xiao He to revise the Han Code based on the Qin Code.
Most of the contents of the Han Code are plagiarized from the Qin Code.
But there are a few that were created by Liu Bangming.
Among these laws, the one that states, "Whoever murders will be punished by death, and those who injure others and steal will not be punished" are certainly striking.
But it is also an important law to force people to break the law.
Liu Bang's original intention of establishing this law was to learn from the lessons of the Qin Dynasty and set up a high-voltage line to prevent the princes and nobles from unscrupulously enslaving the people of their feudal states.
Whoever touches it dies!
Let's put it this way, this crime today is the same as the crime of witchcraft during Emperor Wu's dynasty.
It's something that only scumbags would do.
Especially in the eyes of public opinion, the princes, kings and nobles themselves are rich and noble people who are extravagant and lustful.
Such people still force people to break the law. It can only be said that their consciences have been eaten by dogs!
Throughout the ages, the best outcome for all those who have been convicted of this crime is to be beaten to the end and reduced to common people! (To be continued.)
ps: Damn it, the Apple notebook I just bought today has a blue screen. It seems that the system has crashed.
I shouldn't have been so mean and clicked on that update, something would happen as soon as it was updated.
Then, after working on it for a whole day, I still couldn’t get it done. Damn it!
I had to use the old man to start the work!
Today is the last day of this month. Comrades who have not voted for me, please vote for me!
Then, wait for another chapter.
Then, it’s a new month.
In April, there is a new journey and a new battlefield. It seems that the historical genre also wants to play the battle ranking?
