"What is Liu Qing's strategy for both, let's listen to it" Liu Wei stroked his hair lightly and asked in a deep voice.
Liu Ji hugged the wat board in his arms and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the matter of Xue Zhenbeiping's wife, this is still a suggestion put forward by Your Majesty, which perfectly solves the status of Princess Wannian and Xue Rengui's original match for the Liu family."
Your Majesty can follow this example and set up queens in the east and west palaces, so that you can not only obey the heavens, but also not lose your trust in the world."
"The minister seconded the proposal, this is the best of both worlds" Sikong Kong Rong hurriedly stood up to support Liu Bowen's suggestion.
A large group of civil officials, such as Di Renjie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Buqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Medicine, Gu Yong, the secretary of the School of Deployment, and Yin Baozheng of the Jinling Mansion, also stood up and seconded the proposal: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal, the prime minister's plan is the best of both worlds, please ask Your Majesty to set up two palace queens, one can follow the heavens, and the other will not be untrustworthy, it is a foolproof strategy."
Only He Shen stood up and sang the opposite: "I object, the matter after the establishment is a family affair of Your Majesty, how can you allow the courtiers to point fingers Your Majesty has allowed you to vote in order to establish the queen, it is Concubine Wude who lost to Zhen Niangniang, and now you are coming to force the palace again, is it the way of the ministers" Liu Bowen turned his head and glared at He Shen: "The emperor's affairs, every move is related to the world, the prince is the prince of the country, and the queen is the mother of a country.
Nor should we speculate on the holy will, and do not ask about right and wrong, otherwise we will be slandering and confusing the Lord, and the traitor of the country."
He Shen was taken aback: "Prime Minister Liu, you, it's not good for you to say this" "I've put up with you for a long time," Liu Bowen reprimanded loudly, "Within a year, there have been no less than dozens of letters impeaching you for embezzlement of public funds, all of which were temporarily suppressed by me and Xun Wenruo, and the Inspectorate was ordered to secretly investigate.
Far from repenting, you are a great traitor."
Liu Bowen said and shook Liu Bianchang to the ground: "Please send a decree to He Shenge to the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry and hand him over to Dali Temple for questioning."
After listening to Liu Bowen's impeachment, Di Renjie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Yin Baozheng, the Jinling Mansion, and Siqing of Dali Temple also stood up for impeachment: "The ministers also received a letter of impeachment of He Shen, saying that when he requisitioned the people, he collected taxes according to the capitation, and if he paid a certain amount of money, he could be exempted from forced labor.
Moreover, when He Shen was building the road, he once asked the squires passing by for money and food, and asked His Majesty to strictly investigate" At this moment, Liu Bianshu thoroughly understood the reason why Qianlong reused He Shen, it was not so easy to be the emperor, although the Qing officials were honest and selfless, but they would never obey orders like gluttonous ministers, flattery, if they thought that the emperor was doing something wrong, they would speak out and admonish, and even like Wei Zheng and Xun Yu, they were fearless even if they were dismissed.
This is the so-called advice against the ear, good medicine and bitter mouth.
And a gluttonous minister like He Shen will figure out the emperor's meaning, will do things according to the emperor's words, will be slapping horses, will flatter, and will make the emperor happy, but if the court is full of officials like He Shen, then this court is not far from the time of collapse.
Just like Liu Bowen said, the matter of the Son of Heaven is related to the country's society, and the canonization of the queen is the top priority, otherwise how can there be a saying that the mother of a country and the mother of the world is the so-called "the queen is the emperor's family affair" is simply strong and untenable.
From the perspective of the courtiers, Wu Ruyi is indeed more qualified to be a queen than Zhen Mi, who has been in the palace for seven or eight years, and has also given birth to two sons, with a good reputation and a famous background.
When the court was short of money, the family paid money, when there was a shortage of food, and when there was a shortage of people, Lu Kang died at the age of seventy in the position of Situ, Lu Wenlong died on the battlefield, Lu Xun and Lu Kang both went to the east to conquer the Japanese kingdom and never returned home for three years In all this, Wu Ruyi is more qualified to be the queen than Zhen Mi, who has just entered the palace for a year, plus two and a half years ago, Liu Wei and the courtiers agreed to make Wu Ruyi the queen, but Liu Wei is now dishonest with the courtiers, and it is not entirely to blame the ministers for resisting the establishment of Zhen Mi as the queen.
Because they are all upright and loyal ministers, so they will be upset for Wu Ruyi, if the court is full of sycophants like He Shen, who wants to be the queen, it must be a hymn, but is it better than now Moreover, Liu Wei has already noticed that he has appointed Zhen Mi as the queen, and it is not only the ministers who are dissatisfied, but also the resistance of the harem concubines is extremely strong.
The most obvious is that Concubine Mu Guiying and Concubine Wei Zifu both support Wu Ruyi, not Zhen Mi, in comparison, they accept Wu Ruyi as the queen more, and they are dissatisfied with Zhen Mi, who has just entered the palace for a year, climbing on their heads, which is also human nature.
"Those who are loyal to their ministers should be outspoken, impartial and selfless, and not change their original intentions with personal glory; You should not speculate on the holy will, and be sycophant without asking, otherwise it will be slander and confuse the lord, and the traitor of the country" Liu Ji's words hit Liu Bian's heart like Huang Zhong Dalu, making him have to re-examine the matter of Lihou.
Liu Wei suddenly understood that the difference between himself and the ministers was that he was preconceived from the perspective of God, and he was full of vigilance since Wu Ruyi first appeared, and he had been deliberately suppressing it.
And the ministers don't know the history of Wu Ruyi, in their eyes, Wu Ruyi is a concubine from a famous family, shrewd and capable, virtuous and reasonable, and more qualified to be a queen than Zhen Mi, so the contradiction slowly arises.
"In the matter of the establishment of the post, am I wrong?"
Liu Wei had to re-examine the whole thing.
"Someone came, temporarily removed He Shen from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and handed him over to the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Supervision Department, and the Criminal Department for interrogation.
The matter of canonizing the queen, according to Liu Qing's words, set up the queen of the east and west palaces, Zhen Mi is the east palace, Wu Ruyi is the west palace, and the post-establishment ceremony will be held on a certain day, everything is simple" After making a decision, Liu Wei got up suddenly, and without waiting for the Manchu Dynasty to give a salute, he strode out of the Taiji Palace.
That night, He Shen came to see Liu Wei and knelt on the ground and choked: "Your Majesty's ministers are recruited from the truth, and these things they said in the court do exist.
However, the objects of the minister's demand for poll tax are some helpless gentlemen, let them go to serve in the conscription, not only can not build roads, but will waste money and food, so the minister let them pay for exemption. ” "As for asking the squires for money and food, the road passes in front of their houses and fields, which greatly facilitates the life of these squires, and it is only natural to collect a sum of money from them.
All the money and grain obtained were used to build roads and dams, and I didn't dare to swallow them privately."
Liu Wei's face was as pale as frost, and he asked in a deep voice: "There is really no private swallowing" He Shen squeaked: "I really didn't embezzle it privately, but I lent the money I received to some businessmen and earned an interest."
The interest earned by Weichen himself kept half of it, and the other half was taken out to build the road, and the expenditure allocated by the imperial court over the years was able to build 3,500 miles of galloping roads according to the normal budget, but the minister built 4,500 miles by his own means, and the minister had no merit and hard work."
Liu Wei pointed to He Shen's head and said: "You, you, you are really smart but you are mistaken by being smart, aren't you afraid of being saved by Bao Shengquan if you do this?"
He Shen patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty can rest assured, the false accounts made by the ministers are even if the gods go down to earth and can't find out the flaws, and Di Renjie can't find out the ugly ones when he is tired, but Weichen doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, so he comes to report according to the truth."
If Your Majesty wants the minister to die, the minister will go home and go on the road with three feet of white silk, if Your Majesty thinks that the minister is still useful, the minister is willing to make cattle and horses for Your Majesty."
Liu Wei sighed secretly in his heart: "This emperor is really difficult to do, traitors have the benefits of traitors, and loyal ministers have the disadvantages of loyal ministers."
In the past, when I was a keyboard party, I pointed out the country and promoted the text, but I really achieved this position, only to find that there were many difficulties."
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no friends, not to mention that Liu Wei felt that He Shen was still useful, and after thinking for a while, he made a decision: "He Shen, this time it depends on your luck, if the three divisions are tried, you can get out of the way, and I will continue to use you."
If you are found to have a flaw, you can only ask for the crime according to the law, whether you will be in prison or killed and robbed of your home, I will not be able to protect you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness" He Shen was overjoyed and kowtowed.
On April 6, the ceremony was held in the Lin De Palace, Zhen Mi and Wu Ruyi each wore the queen's phoenix crown and boarded the Luantai, first accepted the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military worship, and then accepted the harem concubines' gifts, thus becoming the queen of the Han Empire.
After the establishment of the matter came to an end, Liu Wei reorganized the cabinet in the court, and at the same time transferred Wang Meng to Beijing as the prime minister, he also transferred Zhang Juzheng, the assassin of Xuzhou, to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Sikong Kong Rong no longer held this position.
And Zhang Juzheng's position in the history of Xuzhou was replaced by Chen Qun, who was engaged in Qingzhou Beijia.
He Shen is currently being interrogated by the three divisions, even if he can get out of the way, he is also in trouble, and he is no longer suitable to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
The position of Yizhou Assassin was taken over by Qian and was in charge of the counties of Yizhou.
In addition, Liu Wei transferred Hua Xin, Yu Tuo, Xu Jing and others, who served as local guards, to Beijing, and went to the Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate to report on their work, and quietly carried out a small-scale exchange of blood in the court.

At the same time, Sima Guang was appointed as a historian and presided over the compilation of the history of the Han Dynasty.
As Liu Wei passed down one after another, messengers from all walks of life rode their horses and whipped and galloped back and forth.
Officials from all walks of life are happy and sad, and their moods are different.
In order to strengthen the monitoring of officials, Liu Wei decided on a whim to set up a new spy agency in the southeast corner of the Qianyang Palace, "Dongzhi Factory", to secretly investigate the illegal acts of officials and relatives, and Zheng He, the eunuch of the ceremonies, was in charge, and called him "Admiral of Dongchang", and only obeyed the emperor's orders.
Historically, the Dongchang that appeared in the Ming Dynasty greatly increased the emperor's ability to centralize power, but there were drawbacks of eunuchs interfering in politics, which did more harm than good, and the fall of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be related to the bad influence of the factory guards.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Wei also stipulated that Dongchang and Jinyiwei were only responsible for arresting people, not for interrogation, but if they caught an unjudicial official, they would be handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Supervision Department, and the three divisions would be tried.
Just when Liu Wei was reorganizing the imperial cabinet in a drastic way, Wu Qi's letters were delivered to Liu Wei after many transits, from Hua's city in Guishan to thousands of mountains and rivers.
In the letter, Wu Qi asked the imperial court to allocate a large number of iron, armor, and horses, and was about to join Su Lie and Caesar to storm Peshawar, the capital of the Kushan State, today, and strive to surround the capital within a month, capture Yingzheng alive, and after pacifying the Guishan, he will continue to wave his army north, extend his tentacles into the territory of rest, and raise the prestige of the Han Dynasty t1706231537:
