Naturally, as in previous years, Liu Che took his concubines and hid in Ganquan Mountain to escape the summer heat.
"Liu Biguang confessed and committed suicide?" Liu Che soaked in the hot spring, looked at the memorial in front of him, and pursed his lips.
Those who died with Liu Biguang also included his queen, prince, and several sons who were deeply resented by the people.
Although Liu Che was soft-hearted, he was reluctant to kill the concubines and heirs left.
But there was no Virgin either, but they were imprisoned.
After one or two generations of this, it will be released only when the hatred is gone.
But before Liu Piguan died, he did something personal!
"Liu Xian, Liu Xian, Liu Zhi..." Liu Che read the names of these three princes and kings.
Compared with Liu Piguang, these three people can only be said to be outstanding for a while.
Liu Piguang shook off all the shabby things they had done.
That's enough to make these three scumbags 'dead innocently'.
In fact, there was no need for Liu Biguang to shake them off. In the past few days, Liu Che's court case had already been piled up with memorials accusing them.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
Adding insult to injury has always been a bureaucracy's specialty.
only……
How many of Qilu's bureaucrats, especially these four officials, are clean?
At least according to Liu Biguang's confession, at least 70% of his senior officials and staff are bastards who follow him and do all kinds of evil!
"Zhuan Tingwei, Taichang and Zhi Jinwu..." Liu Che closed his eyes and ordered: "All criminal officials must be punished severely! Don't be burdened, if you find one, deal with it!"
"Send someone to tell Zhi Jinwu, it's less than eight hundred stones, as long as the evidence is conclusive. Zhi Jinwu can execute the law on the spot!"
"Those who are more than a thousand stones and are found guilty will be given poisonous wine and white silk ribbons!"
These people, these corrupt officials, are living in a sluggish way.
Staying in this world is also a waste of food!
Besides, this year's examinations are about to begin.
Eliminating these people will free up many positions for those who take the exams.
You know, Liu Che has been worrying recently, as the exams continue to progress.
As the number of scholars increases, sooner or later there may be a situation similar to that of later generations where it is difficult for college students to find a job and for research monks to find a job.
And problems like this will always be a big problem in future generations. I don’t know how many people’s hair has turned gray!
As for now...
Once something like this happens.
The consequences are very serious!
It can even be described as a disaster!
Liu Che simply could not imagine the terrifying scene of thousands or even tens of thousands of candidates waiting to be assigned positions in Chang'an in the future.
In a sense, finding positions for these guys will become Liu Che's main work direction for a long time in the future.
Now, take advantage of this opportunity to clear out a group of bad guys in Qilu, and then promote those scholars who have performed outstandingly in the past few years to positions in Qilu.
And the positions they vacated were taken by new scholars.
In this way, it not only gives jobs to the scholars and solves the employment problem, but also allows people all over the world to see that it is good to pass the examination. As long as you have the ability, you will be promoted like a rocket.
What's more important is that through this purge, the Han family can completely control Qilu from now on.
Let this place, which has always been against Chang'an, be quiet.
"King Qi and King Jiaodong, what do you plan to do?" Ji An asked in a low voice beside Liu Che.
Liu Che opened his eyes and said: "Tell Tingwei and Taichang. King Qi and King Jiaodong not to move. Just check their officials..."
No matter how you say it, King Liu Jianglu of Qi was once a stepping stone for Liu Che.
I think back then, Liu Che relied on Liu Jianglu to rise to power.
Even if you only consider this issue, you still have to show your respect to Liu Jianglu.
After all, this is a living reputation machine.
What's more, Liu Jianglu's problem is not big.
He didn't oppress the people much either.
This is not because Liu Jianglu has a conscience.
But he doesn’t need it at all!
Just relying on Linzi's tax and commercial taxes, he can earn thousands of dollars a year!
Among the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jianglu was second only to the king of Liang, Liu Wu, and the former king of Wu, Liu Bi!
What's more, Liu Jianglu was so sensible that he sent three counties as gifts to Liu Che's precious daughter without blinking an eye.
If this was the case, it would be somewhat unkind if Liu Che still wanted to mess with him, and he would be said to be Liu Che coveting his land in Qi.
This is not a good reputation!
As for Jiaodong King Liu Xiongqu, although he was a bit of a bastard, he didn't do too many bad things!
The most important thing is that his son Liu De is very angry with Liu Che.
Liu De, Liu Che's cousin who has the same name as Liu Che, has been helping Liu Che train shipbuilding craftsmen and search for shipbuilding methods in recent years.
The Jiaodong Kingdom now has the largest shipyard of the Han Dynasty besides the shipyard in Jiangdu.
Liu Che valued this naval base very much.
Therefore, I am not going to touch him.
Of course, after this incident, Liu Che had already made a decision.
That is to continue to gather the power of the princes and kings!
In the past, princes and kings had the privilege of appointing officials of more than one thousand stone and less than two thousand stone.
Relying on these privileges, they can naturally dominate and dominate.
Even that bastard Liu Xuan took out his official positions and clearly marked their prices and started an auction.
Liu Che can't bear it!
"Prepare an edict!" Liu Che looked at Ji An: "From now on, all princes and kings in the world, except for the King of Liang and Jiangdu, have the power to appoint and dismiss officials with more than 400 stone. Let Taichang prepare and select from among the famous people in the world.
A person of high moral character should be a prince, king, or tutor, and he should teach him carefully so that the story of Jinan cannot happen again!"
This is actually something that should have been done a long time ago.
In the original history, after the Wu-Chu Rebellion, Liu Che's father spent three years slowly returning all these powers to the central government.
But after Liu Che ascended the throne, this process stalled.
Now, after what happened in Jinan, Liu Che certainly can no longer tolerate such a situation.
"No!" Ji An kowtowed and left.
"Qi State..." Liu Che shook his head.
Although he was not prepared to cause trouble to Liu Jianglu.
But this does not mean that Liu Jianglu will be out of trouble.
Uncle Wang is still in big trouble!
For nothing else.
A common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.
Qi is the world's number one economic power, and those who have been eyeing it, from Empress Lu to the present, can at least put together a strengthened platoon!
It's Liu Che, if he hadn't been the emperor already.
I'm afraid I should also be very interested in that big country whose legal income alone is as much as ten million yuan and thousands of gold every year.
As far as Liu Che knew, except for Liu Yan, who wanted to return to the Central Plains, almost all of his brothers had the idea of Qi.
Even Liu Rong came over and bowed his head to Liu Che because of this.
Liu Che was also worried about whether he could keep his Qi country under the covetousness of his brothers.
After all, as long as his brothers unite and kick Liu Jianglu to Linjiang Changsha in the East Palace, it is not impossible.
Put these things aside.
Liu Che ordered Wang Dao: "Go and get me the report from the Xiuyi Guards!"
"No!" Wang Dao accepted the order and left.
Not long after, I came back with a box full of reports.
"Read it to me..." Liu Che said with his eyes closed.
"promise!"
Wang Dao opened the box, picked up the reports inside, and started reading.
Liu Che listened with his eyes closed.
The Xiu Yiwei's reports are basically trivial matters among the people, as well as official discussions based on inquiries.
Liu Che has now developed a habit of listening to it for an hour or two every day during his break.
To be honest, the contents of these reports are mostly boring, and they only talk about the focus of public discussion and major events happening in various places.
However, the focus and important things at the local level often become insignificant at the national level.
But Liu Che still insists on this, and has persisted for two years.
Because Liu Che knew that such good habits would help him, a king who lives in the palace, to understand what is happening thousands of miles away and understand the social changes in this country.
Otherwise, can you believe that an emperor who lives in the palace every day and only goes to Shanglin Garden to relax can know the current situation of the country and what the people are concerned about?
Be funny!
Even in the world of future information explosion, there are still some political figures in certain countries who have no idea what the situation is in their own country.
I only know how to brag and slap myself all day long, and recite those cliches that have been said to death over and over again.
The result is that the distance between the ruling elite and the people at the bottom is getting farther and farther.
Then, a certain leader often made many vulgar jokes.
What's even more frightening is that the leader doesn't even know he's making a joke.
He thinks he is very wise and mighty.
Liu Che has always taken warning from this.
As an emperor, as a ruler, you must always pay attention to and understand the things that the people at the bottom of your country, the silent majority, care about and pay attention to.
In this way, targeted policy adjustments and deployments can be made.
This time, what the Xiuyiwei reported was basically the private opinions and discussions of the scholarly public opinion, the common people, and the aristocratic officials on Liu Che's edict.
Some people's comments are even harsh.
But it doesn’t matter, everything has been done, why are you still afraid that people won’t get it right?
A man dares to take action!
What's more, Liu Che has a clear conscience about this matter.
They are left alone to shout and slander some clowns.
Anyway, when it comes to public opinion, the old Liu family has always said that you can speak, but I don’t have to listen!
Compared with the bureaucrats, aristocrats and scholars, Liu Che was more concerned about the opinions of the peasants who could not read a single word on this matter.
Because, although these farmers are illiterate, it is precisely because of this that their reactions are the most authentic.
Why did Emperor Taizong immediately crown the third son of King Li of Huainan as king after hearing the folk song that "one foot of cloth can be sewn, but two brothers cannot tolerate it"?
This is because Emperor Taizong knew it, regardless of whether the nursery rhyme was deliberately created.
But it can be widely sung among the people.
This shows that the common people are disgusted and disgusted with the power struggle and brotherhood within the royal family.
The people do not want their king to be ruthless to his brothers.
They hope to see a wise king who is loving to his brothers, kind to the people, and generous to his ministers.
Taizong then complied with the people's sentiments and became the ideal king in the hearts of the people.
So, he became a saint.
Now, Liu Che is like this too.
Whatever kind of emperor the people want him to be, he will take the initiative to move closer in that direction.
In the past, every time Liu Che issued an edict to the world, he basically adjusted the words according to the folk conditions reported by Xiuyiwei, step by step to shape himself into a man who loves the people like a son, is born sacred, and is ordered by heaven.
, the omnipotent king.
And this decision is very wise.
The people slowly overlapped Liu Che with their ideal image of a king.
As a result, today, Liu Che has supreme authority that no one can control.
From within ten steps to thousands of miles away, even South Vietnam and Minyue, his authority spread all over the world.
Liu Che even heard recently that even the Xiongnu sacrificed to him.
It really made him dumbfounded.
"Sure enough, the people hope that the emperor can stand with them..."
Listening to Wang Dao's report, Liu Che nodded proudly in his heart.
This is also very normal.
Chinese people, no matter past, present or future, have a profound sense of being wise.
As long as the emperor can take care of them and value them a little, they will be willing to sacrifice their lives for the emperor.
If you follow this process, you can still reap benefits.
Then this emperor will definitely become a saint!
Liu Che's decisive handling of Jinan's affairs this time earned him a fierce reputation among the people. Xiuyiwei reported that some people even began to call him the emperor with the highest honorific titles of saint, holy king, and holy lord.
.
This made Liu Che immediately feel that his hard work and efforts were not in vain.
However, Liu Che still knew it.
The most fickle people in this world are the people themselves.
Therefore, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said: The king is the boat, and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it!
He must always pay attention to the lives and safety of the people.
Otherwise, he may be caught off guard once big changes come.
……………………
When Liu Che was taking a hot spring bath in Ganquan Palace.
Thousands of miles away on the Neon Islands, Chen Jiao is already preparing to return.
His trip went very smoothly.
On these nameless islands, thousands of Japanese slaves were captured in less than half a month, and the cost was almost zero.
These short Japanese slaves even regarded him and his fleet as gods, and there were people willing to come and serve him without even having to do anything.
In addition to the Japanese slaves, Chen Jiao also held several gold nuggets in her hand.
"There seems to be a lot of gold on this island where Japanese slaves belong?" Chen Jiao scratched her head and guessed in her heart.
Before the Jinsha River was discovered in Huaihua, a large amount of nugget gold seemed to have been discovered. Many times, some people even picked it up by the river.
And on this Japanese island, there is also gold nugget.
So does this mean...
"There are also rich gold mines here?" Chen Jiao guessed in her heart.
"I will definitely figure this out when I come back next time!"
If only we could know the existence of gold mines on the islands where the Japanese slaves belong.
So……
Chen Jiao knows that she may be going to make a fortune! (To be continued.)
ps: There will be more later. Although I am very sleepy~ but since I have promised, I will definitely do it! You can go to bed first~ and watch it when you wake up tomorrow morning! Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
