When the imperial edict was issued, no one took it seriously at first. After all, any change would not happen so quickly.
But after Luoxin wanted to catch a typical example and executed two big businessmen in succession who wanted to buy and sell with bad money, the whole world felt the determination of the court.
Some people want to coerce the people to force the court, using secret threats and intimidation to create a situation where the people voluntarily accept.
But Luo Shi was never a person who would be kidnapped. Luo Xin forced the people to stand on his side. When hearing the case, he only asked twice, and anyone who shielded him would be dealt with according to his comrades.
Regardless of whether he was threatened or not, as long as he still protected him for the second time, he would be exiled to Lingnan.
It's normal that he doesn't dare to resist on his own, and Luo Xin understands.
But it is unreasonable that the imperial court has made the decision and still dare not resist.
Zhuxia must not allow obedient people to occupy the majority!
People must dare to resist, have the courage to resist, and be good at resisting. Only then can they ultimately improve their united front value and force the rulers to improve their treatment.
Rather than starving to death, some people still say, "The people in this land are the most honest, and they will not rebel as long as they have a mouthful of food to eat."
This is never an advantage, but a deep-seated servility.
Luo Xin's harsh methods instantly shocked many people who were ready to take action.
What's even more embarrassing is that Luo Xin is a lonely minister to a certain extent. He was promoted directly and quickly by Lu Fei. He has no relationship with the founding heroes, let alone in the eyes of the princes and kings. As for the other courtiers, they are all him. subordinates and no allies.
People from the Founding Heroes Group came to the gates of Huaiyin Marquis Mansion and Ying Marquis Mansion one after another to find relationships. After all, they still had a passionate relationship for so many years, and they had been together since Liu Bang was still relatively depressed.
The powerful people from all over the world came to the princes and kings one after another, but the princes and kings just wanted to say don't come.
Luo Xin can get along well with a woman like Lu Pheasant. If you think about it, you will know that he is not a simple person.
The Chang'an court still had prestige in the eyes of the princes and kingdoms. At least no one wanted an open and honest confrontation, so this edict was implemented.
But the relationship between the two parties has become increasingly subtle, because many people believe that the Chang'an court is taking action.
In the eyes of many knowledgeable people, the value of the existence of the vassal kingdoms has become lower and lower as time goes by and the situation changes.
Especially after the Lu family tried to transform and gradually transferred some more difficult powers, such as military power, the status of the princes and kings gradually became embarrassing.
Liu Bang's enfeoffment of the Liu family princes and kings was based on the lessons of the Qin Dynasty in eliminating the clan. The Qin Dynasty, which was so powerful, perished just because of the rebellion of the central traitor and the cowardly king. In the end, there was almost no resistance from the Ying surname.
This was something Liu Bang could not tolerate.
To put it more clearly, the Liu family's princes and kings were used to check and balance the Lu family and prevent the Lu family from usurping power.
Therefore, during the regency of Empress Lu, except for a few major events, these princes and kings rarely visited Chang'an City, and the invisible Iron Curtain stretched across Guanzhong and Shandong.
Although the imperial court was able to collect taxes from the princes and kingdoms, and the ministers sent by the imperial court had great power and were respected by the princes and kings, everyone knew that this was because they did not break up with each other.
It is not easy to be the Prime Minister of the Kingdom. If you are loyal to the court, you must be careful of the princes and kings. After all, you are on the territory of the princes and kings. If you follow the princes and kings, you must be careful of the sudden transfer of the court, and then be sent to prison and sentenced to death.
Amid this turmoil, a large amount of money and food rolled in towards Chang'an's treasury. Liu Ying was very happy. This was the first thing he did after Lu Fei's death.
Lu Pheasant was the top monarch in his heart.
The queen mother is assisted by Dong'ahou, and the world is peaceful.
I also have Dong Ahou to assist me, and the world is equally peaceful.
So I = Queen Mother.
So I am also a top monarch. This is the simple logic of Liu Ying's self-entertainment.
Of course, Luo Xin did not relax the price monitoring of various commodities in the private sector, especially the price of grain, important materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The entire Han Dynasty was prosperous and heading towards the goal he desired.
As for Liu Ying, judging from his talent, the current progress in his studies is quite gratifying, but it is not enough to become a qualified monarch. The current situation in the country is too complicated.
Changle Palace.
Among this relatively large palace complex, one room was specially designated as Luoxin's office. If there was anything important while working here, he could report it directly to the emperor.
This is an extremely high level of political trust and power.
The strict patriarchal system was gradually broken down, especially after the Shiqing Shilu system was abolished. Power was no longer distributed according to blood, but according to the relationship with the monarch. Many officials with relatively low official positions were able to take charge of state affairs.
It has become a consensus that the closer you are to the king, the greater your power. This was also the case in the Han Dynasty.
The ones who have made the greatest contribution are supporting Conglong and Jiujia. This is the truth.
The reason why Luo Xin was able to rise to prominence so quickly was because he had a very close relationship with the regent mother and the emperor, who were the core of the Han Dynasty's power.
If Liu Bang succeeded in deposing the crown prince and Liu Ruyi ascended the throne, then Luo Yi would probably be the prime minister's assistant now.
Luo Xin sat upright and handled government affairs. In the palace were all his assistants, all of whom were in a hurry. They were all talented people selected from all over the world. Because Luo Xin and Luo Yi joined forces, the speed of handling government affairs was too fast.
Luo Xin read it first, and then Luo Yi added. Opinions on how to deal with a problem were directly formed.
Suddenly, a palace lady walked in from the side with an anxious look. Luo Xin recognized it as the palace attendant beside Liu Ying at a glance. His heart sank and he whispered: "Third brother, please handle these matters first. Xin is going." Just come."
After speaking, he stood up directly, faced Gong E, and whispered: "What happened to your majesty?"
Gong'e almost didn't dare to express her anger, and whispered very softly: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty just suddenly fainted, and the servants couldn't wake you up. Some people went to call the imperial doctor, and the servants came here to call you."
Luo Xinyan felt his eyes go dark for a moment, and he forced himself to steady his body and said slowly, "Is the queen here?"
Gong'e replied: "It shouldn't be here yet, but it will be soon."
Luo Xin took a deep breath and went to Liu Ying's palace.
Arriving at the palace, Luo Xin saw at a glance the Queen Zhang Yan and the eldest son of the emperor Liu Heng. Zhang Yan's white face was already full of tears. She was a woman who was different from Lu Fei. She had a desire for power. Not big.
When Zhang Yan saw Luo Xin, she quickly saluted and said: "Prime Minister, I am polite."
After Luo Xin returned the gift, he hurried to the edge of the bed and saw Liu Ying lying there with a pale face, her brows furrowed tightly, as if she had thought of something bad and seemed to be experiencing some pain.
"His Majesty."
Luo Xin called softly.
After the imperial physician came to see Liu Ying, he said that there was nothing wrong with Liu Ying and that she just needed to rest. Everyone was relieved.
When Liu Ying woke up leisurely, what she saw was Luo Xin's anxious face, and she couldn't help but ask: "Father, why are you here?"
Luo Xin said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you just fell into a coma, so the palace officials summoned me. Fortunately, you woke up."
"coma?"
Liu Ying was a little surprised, then she felt her body and felt that the problem was not big, so she quickly asked: "Xiangfu, what does the imperial doctor's order say?"
Luo Xin informed Liu Ying, and Liu Ying slowly felt relieved, but the haze in their hearts did not dissipate. In other words, the haze spread to the entire city of Chang'an.
Naturally, a major event related to the country such as the emperor's coma cannot be concealed. No one can bear this responsibility, but after the news spread, many people became anxious.
Being in a coma for no reason is not a trivial matter. It means that the emperor may fall into coma again at any time. Although no one says it, a terrible ending appears in the minds of many people. What if the emperor cannot wake up?
Liu Ying herself was very scared, and privately asked Luo Xin, whom she trusted most, "Father, if, I mean if, I die in a coma, what should I do now?"
When she said this, Liu Ying's heart was filled with fear, and Luo Xin spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, Empress Gao will always protect you, and I will always assist you.
As for the big man, you only need to establish the crown prince. "
Hearing this, Liu Ying nodded slowly and sighed: "Yes, it is enough to establish a crown prince. Father, tomorrow you will submit a letter to the court meeting asking for the crown prince.
Although I know you don't care about this credit, I really don't want to give it to anyone else except you. "
Luo Xin's eyes were slightly red. He even wanted to go to Zhaocheng to seek medicine for Liu Ying, but he knew that this was impossible. Liu Ying was not important enough to waste the family's wealth. He could only comfort him softly: "Your Majesty, you must You will be healthy. I promised Queen Gao that I will take good care of you. If you walk in front of me, how will I go to see Queen Gao in the future?"
When Liu Ying heard this, she smiled and said: "You have taken good care of Ying. Even if you meet your mother, no one can blame you.
Xiangfu, Ying is still standing in front of you fine. Maybe he will never fall into a coma again.
Your body is so healthy, Ying must live a good life and take care of you till the end of your life. "
After saying that, he started laughing. Although he was no longer a young man, his character still seemed to be that of a child hiding behind Luo Xin after all these years.
Even Luo Xin couldn't see Liu Ying's determination in Liu Ying's bright smile.
Liu Ying looked at Luo Xin in front of her, recalled her life, and made up her mind completely. He wanted to give Luo Xin a big gift, he wanted to give Liu Heng a big gift, and he wanted to give a big gift to the whole world.
Amid countless rumors in Chang'an City, the court meeting was held as usual, and countless dignitaries filed into the palace.
Liu Ying, who was sitting high on the throne, was extremely majestic at this moment, which even reminded many people of his mother, the original regent Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant!
"Do you have something important to do, sir?"
Liu Ying's voice came from above.
