"Be bold!"
"The national traitors shall be punished!"
"Bloody mouth!"
The scene was in chaos.
In itself, what this person who is about to kill the nine tribes says is normal. But Chen Ping’s words made people unable to think too much. Because Liu Zhizhou's name is really too loud now.
In just two years, his father became a first-rank official of the Longyan Dynasty and the Governor of the Western Regions.
What kind of crazy speed is this?
Nowadays, the imperial examination, the Grand Canal, inheritance law, and office studies are in full swing, and we are working hard to govern. If the Long Yan Dynasty's court's control over the local area is still as stable as Mount Tai, then that's all. But now there are many vassal kings, each of whom is in charge of his own affairs. Xie Tianyao is struggling to support him alone and is unable to cope with it.
The stronger the Liu family and his son became, the greater the threat to the imperial court.
Although Chen Ping's words were heartbreaking, they hit the mark.
"Your Majesty, I have no two minds, no two minds!"
Liu Dahao was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground to show his loyalty.
Others also expressed their opinions.
Liuzhou Mu loved the people like his son, was diligent in government affairs, reformed the judiciary, and was not afraid of offending the powerful and prominent families. He was undoubtedly a good official and had no different intentions.
In ancient times, this was actually a standard for judging officials.
Why?
Because if Liu Dahao really has the idea of revolting, he will definitely use all means to win over famous families and powerful people, and he will do all kinds of tricks.
As for the people, he would not care about them.
However, he did not do this. As soon as he arrived in Liangzhou, he carried out judicial reforms - which offended not just a few people. Those privileged people actually have complaints. At the same time as judicial reform, Liu Zheng is also leading a group of judicial practitioners to slowly revise the law. This is the most important thing.
For example, the newly released "Liangzhou Criminal Code", as well as the "Slave Law", "Civil Law", etc., have greatly improved the status of slaves, especially the lives of slaves, and greatly protected them. At least it won't exist. The privilege of killing slaves is still innocent.
Although it has not yet reached the point where the emperor breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
But this has offended those with vested interests. However, they were just complaining. Who made the Liu family and his son so powerful and wealthy now?
There are many people who criticize in private, but not many people who really dare to stand up and oppose it.
From this alone, it can be seen that the Liu family and his son had no selfish motives in governing Liangzhou.
Of course...this is the thinking of people in this era. They don't yet know that the first principle is that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
"Your Majesty, the Liu family and his son secretly changed the law, secretly made refined salt, secretly traded overseas, evaded paying taxes, and engaged in military warfare. For every crime, the nine tribes should be punished!"
"Your Majesty!"
"The Liu family's father and son's intention to steal the country is so obvious!"
Chen Ping kept yelling, looking so crazy that people couldn't stop scolding him.
"Execution!"
Who knows, Xie Tianyao said lightly.
Wei Kang, the Minister of Punishment, quickly wiped away his cold sweat and loudly said: "Execution!"
The people involved, Chen Ping's family members, burst into tears. For a while, ghosts cried and wolves howled.
However, the executioner had already prepared his sword and dropped it.
A stream of blood spurted out, and screams, panic, applause, curses, and sounds of various emotions filled the entire place.
Chen Ping's head finally rolled to the ground.
People in Liangzhou rushed over one by one with steamed buns and dipped them in blood. Legend has it that such steamed buns can cure all diseases. And it seems that the greater the sin of the person being killed, the better the effect. Therefore, Chen Ping's blood became the meat and potatoes.
Chen Ping's death heralded that Liangzhou would completely end the period of Chen Ping's rule and begin to enter the period of Liu Dahao's rule.
A new chapter is about to begin.
What awaits the Liu family and his son will also come.
…
"father!"
In the Fengming Building on the street, Chen Ruoshi almost fainted from crying when she saw her father beheaded in public.
"Miss, miss..."
The maid sent by Liu Zheng was startled and quickly pinched her by the waist.
Chen Ruoshi waved her hands with a sad look on her face, indicating that she was fine. She also knew that her father's sins were too numerous to describe. But she didn't expect that she was the only one left in such a huge home.
Only myself is left...
Then what's the point of her living?
but……
She didn't have the courage to die.
She really wanted to see, really wanted to see, her father might not have managed Liangzhou well, but what about Liu Zheng? What about the man who often appears in his dreams?
Can he come up with any tricks in Liangzhou?
This is the entire Liangzhou, not Yinzhou...
How will he govern thirty states and counties?
She clenched her fists tightly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed several times in the direction where Chen Ping died: "Dad, my daughter is unfilial and cannot go with you..."
"My daughter will help you watch and help you watch Liangzhou..."
Liangzhou.
This is the place where Chen Ping has struggled all his life. Where will he go?
…
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said: Liu Dahao, the governor of the Western Regions and the governor of the state, has controlled the plague. He has worked hard and made outstanding achievements. He presented the yellow flowers to the Hanlin Academy and blessed the world...Liu Dahao cared about the people and wanted to stay away from disputes, so he was independent. Give up Wang Jue with a different surname..."
"God bless Longyan, and the plague will stop. I will promote Liu Dahao to the rank of first-class earl and Marquis of Guanwai! He will be in charge of the territory of Liangzhou and protect the Western Regions. I hope... to admire this!"
Liu Dahao and others knelt down and prayed to the Lord for His grace, "Long live, long live, long live, long live."
Liu Zheng was relieved when he heard it.
Fortunately, okay, no king!
What he fears most is that the old emperor, on a whim, will make you a king regardless of your circumstances, which will be a big deal.
By then, Liangzhou will really become the target of public criticism and help King Wei bear a lot of pressure.
That's not what Liu Zheng wants.
"Liu Zhizhou, Huang Huahao cured the epidemic and benefited the world. He was promoted to the Imperial Academy envoy and entered Liangzhou to know the state!"
Liu Zheng continued to thank him.
Positive fifth grade!
It’s at the hall level! Good guy. In the past, Liu Zheng was the magistrate of Yinzhou, which was a local magistrate, that is, the magistrate of a prefecture-level city. However, now, he is already the magistrate of Liangzhou, which is a provincial-level magistrate. He has been directly changed from deputy director to main director. ! Thinking of this, Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little carried away.
Who has seen the twenty-two-year-old main hall?
It's amazing, isn't it?
…
"Sir, Your Majesty is going to Yinzhou, what should we do?"
After the execution, Liu Zheng had just returned to his home when he was called to Qing Yangshuo's room by Zheng Yueru.
Liu Zheng was not surprised when he heard this.
If it is true as he guessed, Xie Tianyao mainly came to see the situation in Liangzhou this time, then he should go to Yinzhou to see - only then can he see the effect of his drastic reforms.
"You mean, refined salt?"
Liu Zheng frowned, this was a problem.
In ancient times, refined salt was heavily controlled by the state. The laws of the Longyan Dynasty stipulate that only Wang Jue has the right to make refined salt. If Liu Dahao is crowned king this time, it won't matter. The refined salt can be freely used. But this time, I only got a first-class earl.
Liangzhou only has the right to sell salt, but cannot legally produce salt.
Liu Zheng looked at Qingyang Shuo.
Qingyang Shuo chuckled: "Sir, since you think that the Holy Master is a broad-minded person, why are you afraid that the refined salt will be seen by him?"
Liu Zheng was shocked: "Sir, you mean that we don't need to cover up at all?"
Qingyang Shuo smiled and nodded: "Why don't you know the secret guard of the Holy One? Since the Holy One didn't kill you this time, I will definitely not be angry with you for this."
Liu Zheng was overjoyed.
When the emperor travels, he needs to prepare many things. Liangzhou is of course responsible for the safety, food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way. So Liu Dahao and Liu Zheng will be very busy next.
Liu Zheng's idea is simple.
now……
The imperial examination is about to be piloted in Liangzhou. This is an order from the emperor. However... His Majesty did not mention a word about the excavation of the Grand Canal when he came to Liangzhou this time. This made Liu Zheng feel a little uneasy. After all, the Grand Canal is really important to him. As long as the Grand Canal is connected, the entire Longyan will be like walking on flat ground.
He must get the old emperor to support his Grand Canal plan!
Whether he supports it or not, this inspection becomes very important.
He first asked Zheng Yueru to go back to Yinzhou to prepare for the reception of the Holy Emperor, but he was here, busy with the arrangements.
In his heart, he was actually still a little nervous.
Could it be that His Majesty wasn't worried at all about what Chen Ping said before the execution that day?
The heart of stealing the country...
Liu Zheng didn't believe it, he was not worried at all.
But after the summons that day, Xie Tianyao never announced Liu Zheng again.
This monarch's heart is truly unfathomable.
…
The canal in the Cheshi section was dug very smoothly.
One month!
Only one month has passed, and under the internal competition of the Construction Corps, the people of the Western Region Protectorate have launched a leap-forward large-scale production.
Just one month.
More than a dozen water wells have been dug near Cheshi, which has greatly solved the current water shortage and drought problems in Cheshi.
Afforestation work has also begun.
Of course, what is more important is the excavation of the canal - although there is no water at this time, they still strictly follow the requirements of Liu Zheng's drawings and have been digging.
However.
Just as the water channel was proceeding at a fast speed, a problem came to the current Sima of the Protectorate, Ling Chen.
"Master Ling, how can we get past Linshan?"
"If we go around here, we will have to travel hundreds of miles!"
"However, Linshan is adjacent to Rongshan Pass in Liangzhou. If we blow up this mountain, will it..."
A group of people are studying.
When Liu Zheng was designing the drawings, he had not yet perfected the Liangzhou side, so Linshan was also omitted by him.
When Ling Chen heard this, he smiled: "Everyone, do you need to consider anything else? At this time, Liangzhou is already ruled by adults and young masters. How about bombing a mere Linshan? Do you still need to think about it? Explode! Transport Quelehuoduo Go over there and explode!"
If the mountain explodes, it will save nearly ten days of work. Why not?
However, what Ling Chen didn't expect was.
This decision almost cost him his life.
Liu Zheng almost fell into the abyss.
