The death of Concubine Shu was considered a big event in the Bian Palace. This was determined by Emperor Liu's attitude. For this reason, Emperor Liu also held a grand funeral ceremony for her and gave her a funeral ceremony. Honor.
Emperor Liu's mausoleum, after two years of construction, has been completed and sealed. The site was selected by the Qintian Supervisor in an inaccessible place deep in Mang Mountain. It was jointly constructed by the Shaofu and the Ministry of Industry. It was built in secret and even the name was chosen. It's called Gaoling.
In building a mausoleum for himself, although Emperor Liu was not extravagant, he was not too stingy either. He still carried out large-scale construction projects. However, he did not use the state's financial resources and manpower. All expenses came from his small treasury. In this way, there was no People gossip, and no one dares to gossip. However, Emperor Liu only gave one instruction for the mausoleum: it should be concealed, safe, permanent and secure.
Life cannot have a beginning and an end, but after death, the relationship will be renewed. Let Concubine Shu accompany the mausoleum, which can be regarded as a kind of sustenance.
Emperor Liu was still a little sad about Concubine Shu's death, but this sadness did not last long before he recovered. In comparison, the brothers Liu Hui and Liu Xuan were more affected. After all, they will be in the future. It can be regarded as "alone and helpless".
In order to express his memory for Concubine Shu, Emperor Liu not only showed kindness to the Zhou clan members represented by Zhou Fang, but also showed more care to the Liu Hui brothers and sisters.
For Liu Hui, Emperor Liu gave him the title of Minister of Rites, allowing him to officially break away from the hardships of military training and begin to participate in court affairs. On weekdays, as long as you can think of food and clothing, you can also order someone to send a copy to Wu Guogong's mansion.
Emperor Liu also called the fifth princess Liu Xuan from time to time to care about her, and personally discussed her marriage after she became an adult. He was determined to find a good match for her and agreed to listen to her own opinions. Such treatment was previously enjoyed only by the eldest princess Liu Jia.
Of course, many people could see that Emperor Liu's care was just to place his guilt on Concubine Shu on the two brothers. This lingering blessing cannot last for long, but even so, this favor is envied by people in the palace and discussed by people outside the palace.
In fact, the meticulous care for the Liu Hui brothers and sisters did not last long. After the winter month of the 13th year of Kaibao, there was no follow-up. Emperor Liu returned to his previous state, taking care of himself and drinking wine. , everything was the same as before, as if not much had changed, and Concubine Shu was gradually forgotten, starting from Emperor Liu's relief.
In the second half of the thirteenth year of Kaibao, the most important event of the imperial court was the formal promotion of the reform of the military system. Using the Tokyo Forbidden Army as a pilot, nearly 5,000 retired officers and soldiers were abolished to accumulate experience for larger-scale reforms and changes. Discover summary issues.
In contrast, the situation in the court became calmer, mainly because the conflict between Yu Zhao and Lu was temporarily alleviated.
The internal struggle in the imperial court caused by the Yangzhou case subsided under the intervention of Emperor Liu, and ended briefly with Lu Duoxun's retreat.
Emperor Liu's strong beating was still very effective. Lu Duoxun became more at ease. At least in the second half of the thirteenth year of Kaibao, Emperor Liu no longer heard Lu Duoxun glaring in front of Zhao Pu and bragging. Beard, knock on the table.
What Emperor Liu said, Zhao Pu was the Prime Minister of the imperial court after all, and he should still have the necessary respect. Lu Duoxun obviously listened to it, and of course he did not dare not to listen.
When Lu Duoxun calmed down, there was a lot of harmony in the center of the imperial court, at least in the political hall. Based on the results, it can be deduced that Lu Duoxun was indeed a cause of the disputes in the court.
The investigation of Yang Kefa, the chief envoy of Huaidong Road, led by Lu Duoxun, also came to an end. After the autumn Hou Zhi and a group of Yangzhou case principals were interrogated and executed, it came to a complete halt. Of course, this was also Lu Duoxun's investigation. It was a manifestation of compromising and was completely unpopular. Lu Duoxun did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to do it. The most important thing was that he could not go against Emperor Liu's will.
In this dispute between Zhao and Lu, on the surface, Lu Duoxun was depressed. Zhao Pu should be proud, but he couldn't be proud at all.
If Zhao Pu did not use the Yangzhou case to punish Lu Duoxun, Emperor Liu did not believe it, and perhaps Zhao Pu himself did not believe it. Since he became prime minister, the ministers who partnered with him have changed one after another, such as Song Qi, Wang Pu and even Li Ye. Zhao Pu has never been so disgusted by him. Lu Duoxun has a conceited and arrogant temperament and a arrogant style. Too tough, Zhao Pu has been unable to step down many times.
Moreover, his ambition is too obvious and his hostility is too strong. He feels that he is squeezing his future and wants to replace him with himself. Everything can be tolerated, but when it comes to the core power of the political hall, you cannot give in at all. All the previous tolerances are just accumulation for the explosion.
The Yangzhou case is undoubtedly an opportunity, a handle that can be completely grasped, and a flaw that can be continuously attacked. Taking down a mere Yangzhou magistrate, Hou Zhi, was obviously not Zhao Pu's original intention. His goal was to exclude Lu Duoxun from the court, and it was not impossible to even hold him accountable.
However, they were fighting in the Zhengshi Hall, and Emperor Liu was watching in the Chongzheng Hall. When the referee came off the field, it was a force majeure factor.
Judging from the results, after the Yangzhou case, Lu Duoxun's prestige plummeted, and the DPRK and China were in a state of turmoil. But Zhao Pu really couldn't be happy. Although Lu Duoxun was punished, demoted, and fined, it was all insignificant.
What's even more outrageous is that Emperor Liu handed over the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Lu Duoxun. While his reputation was damaged, his real power was actually enhanced. How could Zhao Pu accept this?
However, no matter how dissatisfied I was, it was hard to show it. I had to praise Emperor Liu for his wisdom and acknowledge it with a smile. Of course, what worries Zhao Pu the most is Emperor Liu's attitude. With such support for Lu Duoxun, there is no guarantee that Lu Duoxun will one day replace him. Simply put, it is just a matter of Emperor Liu's words.
With Zhao Pu's shrewdness, how could he not see that Emperor Liu used Lu Duoxun to check and balance himself, and transferred him back to the center just to make him fight against him.
This is not surprising, but what Zhao Pu can't understand is why it was Lu Duoxun. Song Qi and Wang Pu are so good. They are gentlemen. Lu Duoxun is a villain, and villains are the hardest to guard against.
Although Lu Duosun was disappointed this time, learned a lesson and felt depressed, but as long as this kind of person still has breath, he will jump out and bite him back in retaliation.
There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days, and after this incident, Lu Duoxun will obviously become more difficult to deal with. This is also the most depressing thing for Zhao Pu.
Under Zhao Pu's mentality, under the court's calm surface, undercurrents are still quietly accumulating, waiting for the next outbreak. This is a cyclical thing, and as long as Lu Duoxun is still in the center, it is inevitable.
Of course, it’s the same for another person. After all, there is only one position of prime minister, and the power of the prime minister is also limited. All ministers share the food, but one person has the majority, and others will want to take more. This is human nature and politics. However, another person might not be as radical as Lu Duosun, so radical that he has no concealment.
Lu Duoxun, who took a step back, only temporarily gave up his thoughts of competing with Zhao Pu head-on, but he did not stop working. After receiving the authority in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was the first to take office.
The first step was to rectify the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate and depose a group of people who he regarded as "excessive". Of course, many people knew that this was retaliation, because some of them made criticisms. Passed Ludoson's.
The second fire was that in accordance with Emperor Liu's will and using the Yangzhou case as a lesson, he once again set off a wave of political movements inside and outside the court to vigorously crack down on corruption and perversion of the law.
Lu Duoxun is not relaxed at all. At the same time, he continues to expand his influence through his work in the Supervision Department. However, he has offended a lot of people. Of course, he is not afraid of offending people. After all, he has offended a lot of people. I made a vow to Emperor Liu that I would rather be a lonely minister than just talk about it.
