Liu Ai has been on the throne for seven months, and he has been ignoring government affairs under the pretext of mourning for Xiaozhao, and even Hou Renhong of Xi'an, who often thinks about him, deliberately endures not to meet in private.He never expected that as the emperor, the first government affairs that he had the opportunity to deal with in person was actually a bunch of ugly Liu family who felt ashamed when he said it.The case of the unreasonable murder of Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan, the adultery case of Liu Nian, the king of Qinghe, the case of adultery with his sister, the case of Liu Zhonggu, the king of Zichuan, the case of burning the people's house by Liu Jiande, the king of Changsha, the crimes of the eight princes, and the case of the king of Chu suing the king of Guangling for cursing the Son of Heaven to rebel, were played by the great Honglu Tian Yannian and placed in front of Liu Ai.The generals can deal with the affairs of the empress dowager after consulting with the empress dowager, but only in the princes of the clan, they can't bypass the emperor.For the princes and the clan, it is still governed by the patriarchal system, the emperor is a large sect, and the princes are small sects, so the sect is set up as Jiuqing, specifically to deal with these problems, so Shang Shutai did not give any instructions on the crimes of the kings, and directly handed them over to the emperor.Liu Yi had immediately summoned Zongzheng Liu De, because in front of the palace people, he pretended to be from the people who had not received patriarchal education and didn't understand anything, and asked him about everything.Liu De said to Liu Ai: "Your Majesty has ever heard a folk ballad?"
One foot of cloth, which can still be sewn; A bucket of millet is still acceptable; Two brothers, incompatible!
”Liu Ai has bowed his head: "This is the time of filial piety, and the folk sing the death of Liu Chang, the king of Huainan." ”At the beginning, Liu Chang deliberately plotted to rebel, and even contacted Minyue and the Xiongnu, but the matter was exposed, he was investigated and punished, and the exile of Yan Dao was the place where the abolished emperor Liu He went.As a result, Liu Chang committed suicide halfway, which caused an uproar, and public opinion turned from condemnation to sympathy for Liu Chang.Although the Han Emperor killed the Prime Minister of Huainan and the Imperial History to secure the hearts of the princes, the slaves and servants who were involved in this matter were all executed and abandoned to the city, and Liu Chang was buried thickly, but even so, the people still sang this song, thinking that it was the emperor's affection and coveting Liu Chang's fief and forcing him to death.In the end, the emperor could only seal the land of Huainan to Liu Chang's sons to show that he did not have the intention of harming the public for personal gain.The most difficult thing in the world is family affairs, and it is difficult to distinguish between public and private.Now Liu Ai's situation is worse than that of the emperor, Liu Chang is filial piety's younger brother, and for Liu Ai, King Guangling is his grandfather.Moreover, he was just a puppet, and the general handed the sword that disposed of the princes to the emperor, seemingly respecting his opinion, but it is unknown whether it was the handle or the blade of the knife.If it is not handled well, it will be bloody.As far as Liu Ai already knows, Liu Yanshou, the king of Chu, is not a good thing, when the king of Guangling entered the dynasty, he secretly corresponded with him, the two also got married, the wife and brother of the king of Chu married the daughter of the king of Guangling, and now the king of Chu suddenly reported the king of Guangling, probably by Tian Yannian's vigorous and resolute behavior in Jizhou and Qingzhou, and the embroidered messenger began to enter and leave Xuzhou.Liu Yi has already said: "The king of Guangling is my closest relative, and the stakes are very high, how can he be rashly arrested because of the words of the king of Chu?"
And ordered the confessor to interrogate the king of Guangling with what the king of Chu had told."
There are two ways for the Han Dynasty to interrogate the princes, one is to send people to govern by the prime minister, the imperial historian, the great Honglu, and the court lieutenant, that is, the interrogation, and the location is generally located in the county not far from the princely state.The second is immediate interrogation, putting aside the existing litigation procedures, directly sending envoys to question the princes and kings in person, such as when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu An, the king of Huainan, rebelled, and the minister asked for the arrest of the king, but Xiaowu did not agree to the request of his subordinates, but sent Han Lieutenant Hong to interrogate Liu An.After Xiaojing, the princes have lost the ability to rebel, and when they receive news from the imperial court, if they really have a major crime of rebellion, in order to retain their dignity, they will generally commit suicide, of course, there are also those who do not admit it, so they can only put down their warmth and investigate thoroughly.The case of King Guangling, unlike other kings, had a clear crime, and relying only on circumstantial evidence and the words of the king of Chu was not enough to convince people.And let the king of Guangling jump like thunder, and tear up with the king of Chu.Regardless of whether it is true or not, one of them will always be abolished in the end, and maybe even let them die together.Compared with King Guangling, the cases of other princes were much easier.But Liu was no longer in a hurry to make a conclusion about their heinous crimes, but continued to learn the routine of filial piety."
I used my young and weak body to surprise the unification, the crime of the king of Guangchuan and others, so that the general and the liehou will meet the prime minister's mansion, and discuss it with the middle two thousand stones, two thousand stones, and doctors!"
If it is not good to say something, let the ministers discuss, for example, the conviction of the princes, because the identity of the patriarch is inconvenient and too ruthless, when the emperor finally decides, on the basis of the ministers' decision, the crime will be increased by one degree.If the city is abandoned, let the princes commit suicide; If you are killed, you will avoid death and move away; And those who abolished the king and moved far away cut the county.Xiaowu used this trick to deal with the crimes of the princes, tried and tested, in addition to the yin and yang strange spirit to scare the death of Liu De, the king of Hejian, Xiaowu forbears the rest of his brothers, and also kills Liu An, who is very famous, and many nephews, but no one scolds him for "a foot of cloth can still be sewn".In addition to letting the minister be a bad guy and be a good person himself, there is also an advantage to having the generals, liehous, and two thousand stones assemble: those people who Liu Yi really wants to consult will also participate.For example, Hou Renhong of Xi'an, who had just returned to Chang'an from the east, and Su Wu, a vassal country, these are all people who are not good for Liu Ai to meet and talk to in private, Ren Hong is also very careful, and tries not to play sparsely, anyway, most of them will be sent to the Empress Dowager, and Liu Ai may not be able to see it.But when they were meeting, they were able to speak freely, so that Liu Yi could already know his attitude.It is a major event to convict the four princes and kings at one time, although the emperor still does not participate in the mourning, and only invites Huo Guang to preside over on his behalf, and almost all the three princes and nine princes participated, a total of forty-three people discussed in the front hall, which is comparable to the scene when Liu He was abolished.Tian Yannian had already found out the crimes of the four kings, and there was not much disagreement, and a consensus was quickly reached."
The king of Guangchuan went to disobey and abuse, and after listening to Zhaoxin's slander, he burned Heng and boiled people, cut and peeled people alive, and killed his father and son at the advice of his teacher.Whoever kills sixteen innocent people, up to three mothers and sons in a family, is unreasonable, and should be killed to show the public!
Hirokawa Kuniban!"
The crimes of the rest of the people are lighter, Liu Zhonggu, the king of Zichuan, this guy with NTR plots, made Ainu commit adultery with his eight sons and concubines, he watched from the sidelines, and even learned from Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, who was perverted, and let the dogs and horses also participate, so he was also sentenced to Liu Jian's crime, and was condemned to be a bestiality, a mess of the monarch and a minister, and a rebellion against human morality, and was condemned to the crime of abandoning the city, and the country was removed.Compared with him, Liu Nian, the king of Qinghe, gave birth to a baby with his sister, which was counted as a petty adultery, and he was still denounced by Liu Nian's younger brother.Finally, Liu Jiande, the king of Changsha, who burned the houses for fun, decided to abolish his throne and move to Fangling.But at this time, Hou Renhong of Xi'an, who echoed the whole process, made a strange suggestion at this time."
Yao Shun exiled the flesh and bones, Zhou Gong killed Guan Cai, and the world was holy.Who?
Do not harm the public with private interests.In the past, Uncle Cai and Uncle Guan rumored about the country, conspired against Wu Geng, slandered the Duke of Zhou, and the Duke of Zhou and Guo Lin, who was imprisoned by King Cheng, moved to a distant place and did not forgive him until he died.However, Cai Guo was retained, and Cai Zhong, the son of Uncle Cai, was retained. ”"When Emperor Xiao, Liu Changmou, the king of Huainan Li, rebelled against the distant relocation and self-determination, and the filial piety emperor took pity on his brothers, so he set up his three sons: Liu An was the king of Huainan, Liu Bo was the king of Hengshan, and Liu Ci was the king of Lujiang."
Now that Liu Nian, the king of Qinghe, is guilty and should be punished, and he is innocent of death, Ran Hong thinks that his brother took the initiative to denounce Liu Nian's crimes, and it is not appropriate for Qinghe to exterminate his sect."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at each other.When the Han Emperor forced Liu Chang to death, he was speculated by the people that he coveted the land of Huainan.But this time to liquidate the princes, smart people know that it is really the great general Hetian Yannian who is greedy for the wealth and land of the princes, and wants to reduce the expenses of supporting the princes and fill the treasury.In addition to the rotten land of Changsha that the imperial court looks down on, the rest of Qinghe, Guangchuan, and Zichuan are all anointed places, with tens of thousands of taxes every year, and the court is bound to win.They didn't believe that with the favor of the Marquis of Xi'an, they couldn't see the general's purpose, and they had to come forward to keep the Qinghe State.Tian Yannian took the lead in reversing this, but Ren Hong smiled and only said to Huo Guang: "Da Honglu misunderstood what I meant, the kingdom and the throne can be retained, but they may not still be sealed in Qinghe." ”This is the change of the seal, there is a precedent for similar operations in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bo, the eldest son of King Liu of Huainan Li, was originally named the king of Hengshan, and after the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Xiaojing moved Liu Bo to Jibei.And Liu Zhi, the king of Jibei who participated in the rebellion, miraculously walked through the back door of Liu Wu, the king of Liangxiao, with the assistance of Gongsun Ji, a master of Qi State, and was exempted from capital crimes and renamed the king of Zichuan.Huo Guang also wondered what new ideas Ren Hong came up with, and asked, "Then according to the opinion of the Marquis of Xi'an, where should the seal be changed?"
”One is not related to the other and there is no reason, the reason why Ren Hong suddenly became a good person to protect the Qinghe country is that in addition to secretly reminding Liu Ai of one thing, there is also a purpose.The matter of increasing the yield per mu has been started in the Marquis of Xi'an, and the immigration and colonization should also be put on the agenda, but this is a good opportunity.Sailing to the Americas?
Expanding into Southeast Asia?
No, no, the "new continent" that the Han Dynasty needs to develop most is not tens of thousands of miles away, not even in Samhan Wadao, but at the feet of the empire."
Since Xiaowu destroyed Minyue and moved its people to Jianghuai, Dongyue was empty, and there was only one county within a radius of thousands of miles.Why not change the Qinghe Kingdom to Dongou Wenzhou, Yexian Fuzhou?
