Autumn is fleeting. This year is still a good harvest year. At least, in the Hejian Kingdom, every family is still in need of food and clothing. The granary of the Marquis Mansion is also full. Xing Ziang followed Liu Bo and indeed had a lot of food and clothing. Big changes, the whole person has become mature and stable, and a little less willful than before.
The little fat man has been studying with He Xiu for almost a year. After this year, the little fat man has become extremely kind. He always has a smile on his face, and his attitude towards the domestic servants has become more and more kind. Everyone respects and loves him. , the Marquis Mansion was handed over to the little fat man. Mrs. Dong said nothing about this, and spent the whole day cultivating flowers and cultivating sex with her maids.
It can be regarded as handing over the rights of the Hou Mansion to the nine-year-old Liu Hong.
Liu Hong also simply became the hands-off shopkeeper. The family property was handled by Uncle Liu and Xing Zi'ang, and the servants at home were also handed over to Shi Lang. This Shi Lang had been with the little fat man since he was a child. He was the one who was almost killed by Dong because of his talkativeness. The boy who was dealt with was not very smart, but he was loyal to Liu Hong. Therefore, the little fat man also appointed him to manage the servants at home.
With these people working, he studied with He Xiu every day, and all he studied were history books. However, recently, He Xiu seemed to have noticed the little fat man's hostility towards talented people from aristocratic families, and deliberately told him some stories about filial sons and famous people. No matter what Xio said, the little fat man would take it seriously and listen with a smile, but it was hard to say whether he would remember it in his heart.
At this time, the emperor Liu Zhi was also extremely angry.
In the main hall, Liu Hong was sitting on his knees with a gloomy expression. Opposite him were five rows of courtiers, but no one was sitting. Almost all of them stood up and bowed down. The one at the front was Taiwei Chen Fan. This time they , it was to gather all the power of the court to put pressure on the emperor, either to release people or to leave collectively. Even if the emperor was dissatisfied with this kind of clique of talented people, he could not abolish the Manchu officials at the same time.
If this were the case, the administration of the Han Dynasty would collapse almost in a day. Among them, there were only a few eunuchs, led by the Cao family, sitting motionless on their knees. But compared to The party members are so huge that they really can't see enough of them.
This year, after all, is not the Ming Dynasty. The officials of the Ming Dynasty formed cliques, but they were selfish and talked about benevolence and morality, but in their hearts they had no country and no people. The term "dressed beasts" couldn't be more accurate. However, the Han literati had a certain character. Although in the late Han Dynasty, , the scholars also had different thoughts, and there were many behaviors to gain fame and seek personal gain, but in general, their moral standards were passable.
Their moral quality is very high. They treat the villagers kindly and are extremely harsh towards the ordinary powerful people. However, they have become another kind of powerful people. They will not bully the people, but they occupy too much land. When the land is annexed, they Of course, they will not resort to forced buying like powerful people do. They will also provide relief to the people from time to time through normal means.
However, they have formed a huge family, a huge farming and studying family. They need land so that the children of the family can be freed from labor and can support the children of the family to travel around to study, find teachers and make friends. In this way, they are harmful to the people and to the people. The threat of the emperor is greater than that of powerful people. Powerful people only have land and slaves at home, but they do not have many high-ranking officials in the government, nor are they as famous as the sky!
Ever since, Liu Zhi, who had sensed the danger, began to suppress the aristocratic families and arrest them. Unfortunately, these aristocratic families were not as easy to deal with as powerful ones. First of all, they had a reputation for being virtuous, and would be respected not only by scholars, but also by almost everyone in the world.
They, even strong men, would respectfully send them away when they encountered them. Such stories happened many times.
Secondly, they occupy an important position, not to mention mastering knowledge and public opinion. Moreover, they still represent justice and correctness. As long as the emperor does not listen to them, he will be madly targeted. This is similar to the late Ming Dynasty. The only
The difference is that these party members have justice in their hearts. They think that everything they do is for the country and the world, and they are right. This is terrible!
Liu Zhi looked at these party members angrily, but he was cursing crazily in his heart. If anyone dared to treat the emperor like this in his ancestors' time, he would be a group of traitors and traitors! However, he actually treated these party members.
There was no way, he dared to arrest Li Ying, but he couldn't do anything to Chen Fan, one of the three princes. The Taiwei controlled the soldiers, and his reputation was too great!
As for the persecution of the Manchu officials, he had no choice but to kill or arrest them. He even had to appease these officials, knowing that they were just resigning under the guise of resigning, so the emperor still did not dare to force them.
, just like this, after a moment of silence, Liu Zhi's face became calm. He smiled and said: "My dear friends, these things are all Hou Lan's own actions. What does it have to do with me? I will let Hou Lan do it today.
If we conduct strict investigations, we will never wrongly accuse a worthy minister, and you will be at peace."
After saying that, he stood up and left directly, ignoring the many party members below.
"Oh, I hate that traitor, who led the emperor to commit such a big mistake. You know, everyone in Chang'an saw a yellow dragon in the well... I'm afraid..." The person who spoke was Dou Wu.
Dou Wu, courtesy name You, was born in Pingling, Fufeng. He was the great-great-grandson of Dou Rong, the great Sikong, and the son of Dou Feng, the prefect of Dingxiang. Together with Liu Shu and Chen Fan, he was known as the "Three Monarchs". He was famous for his virtues in Confucian classics when he was young.
Famous in Kansai.
In the eighth year of Yanxi's reign, because the eldest daughter Dou Miao was established as the queen, she moved her husband to become the captain of the riding school and was granted the title of Marquis of Huaili.
This year, the emperor was appointed as the city gate captain. When he took office, he summoned famous scholars, and all the rewards from the two palaces were donated to the imperial students, which won the support of the scholar-bureaucrats. The emperor worked hard to establish it as a weapon to deal with party members.
He also became a party member with high moral standards in a very short period of time... I don’t know what Liu Zhi was thinking in his heart, but he just suffered a lot from Queen Dou Miao and was disgusted by Liu Zhi because of his father.
Hearing what Dou Wu said, Chen Fan stood up slowly and touched his pale beard. His eyes were full of worry. In the late Han Dynasty, Confucianism began to focus more on metaphysics and Yi studies. From the current point of view, Huanglong appears in the well.
A great virtuous man is about to die.
But at this moment, in the Weiyang Palace, the Han Emperor Liu Zhi was sitting on the bed with an angry look on his face.
Next to him was the eunuch Hou Lan. Hou Lan lowered his head and his eyes were full of fear. He had already known what the emperor had done in the court. Did he want to hand him over as a scapegoat? Thinking of this, Hou Lan asked
Everyone was frightened, but in the fright, he did not dare to complain at all, and could only bow his head and obey orders. Liu Zhi looked at him, not knowing whether he knew what he was thinking.
"Let those guys go."
"How can the country spare them like this?" Hou Lan was even more frightened and anxious.
"Ha." Liu Zhi snorted coldly and glanced at Hou Lan.
Hou Lan immediately knelt down and did not dare to get up. Speaking of which, these eunuchs were still different from the ministers. The ministers would not kneel down when they saw the emperor, but would only bend down to salute. However, the senior officials who were in the position of the three princes would not kneel down when the emperor saw him.
Instead, they had to salute first to show their respect. However, the eunuchs were different. They were like private slaves of the emperor. They had no personality at all in front of the emperor.
"Who said I will spare them? I will not allow them to serve in official positions for life. Their disciples! Their tribesmen! Their close relatives! They are not allowed to serve in official positions! Let them get out of Sili! Never appear in front of me!" Liu Zhi was angry
shouted, Hou Lan was shocked, nodded, and went down.
Liu Zhi was left alone in the room, but suddenly he started coughing. He was shaking all over, holding the couch with both hands and gritting his teeth. He couldn't fall down, not yet!
