In the Chui Gong Hall, Emperor Liu was lying on the imperial couch in a somewhat embarrassed state, lying on it in a very shameless manner. The impact of this fall was still great. At least it could be seen from the serious expressions of everyone in front of the bed that every move of the emperor was related to the family, country and the world, let alone such a serious physical condition. Europe
Fortunately, it was a false alarm, and everyone was relieved after the imperial doctor's diagnosis. Emperor Liu's fall was not a major problem, but a sprain, which directly damaged his muscles and bones.
The imperial doctor had no good solution for the time being, so he could only prescribe some recuperative medicine and supplement it with medicinal patches. The rest could only be recovered by recuperating on his own. Based on Emperor Liu's physical condition, it is obvious that he will need to stay on the bed in the near future.
Of course, no matter whether Emperor Liu is sitting or lying down, as long as he is conscious, he is still the emperor who can dominate the world by himself. However, Emperor Liu himself could not help but think too much.
This fall also made Emperor Liu sober up. After all, he was no better than before. He couldn't help but wonder whether this fall would affect his "glorious image" and have some negative effects on his authority. Whether those ministers will have contempt for this, it is impossible to say whether their hearts are in their stomachs.
Therefore, although the person is awake, he is even more gloomy. The whole person seems to be releasing strong negative emotions, which is so overwhelming that the person can hardly breathe. He tilted his head and lay on the soft pillow, looking at the loyal ministers of the central government who all lowered their eyebrows and dared not raise their heads. Emperor Liu said coldly: "Why are you all crying and mourning? I'm not dead yet!"
As soon as these words came out, several people lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. However, hearing Emperor Liu's still powerful words, everyone felt more relaxed. The emperor seemed to be fine. At least it can train people, which is a good thing.
Although everyone has been under the shadow of Emperor Liu for a long time, and there may not be some resentment and bold thoughts in private, no one is really prepared for Emperor Liu's absence. Europe
However, after this fall, some thoughts may be uncontrollable. Emperor Liu's suspicion is not without reason, especially towards these powerful ministers. Each of them is hidden so deeply that no one can see anything. Let alone others, at least Zhao Kuangyi is trying hard to hide the strangeness in his heart at this time.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't get angry again and aggravate the injury!" Facing the aggressive Emperor Liu, only Prince Liu Yang could speak out under pressure and offered words of comfort.
And Liu Yang's words were really effective. Emperor Liu no longer put pressure on his prime ministers. He waved his hands with a little effort and said in a cold voice: "What are you all gathering here for? There is no need to take care of state affairs? It's all your own." I’ll leave my job, I’ll have nothing to do!”
Hearing this, the group of people, as if they had been granted amnesty, bowed neatly and respectfully: "Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"
"Prince, Zhao Pu stays!" Emperor Liu ordered again.
"yes!"
In the dormitory, the three most powerful people in the Han Dynasty gathered together, and they were silent for a while, forming a slightly strange scene. Emperor Liu was silent, and Liu Yang and Zhao Pu did not say anything, just quietly listening to the holy instructions. Europe
In front of the two of them, Emperor Liu no longer pretended to be strong, and his face showed a tired and weak look. For Emperor Liu at this age, such a fall was obviously not a "no serious problem." It can be summarized.
After closing his eyes and relaxing for a long time, Emperor Liu moved his fingers gently and ordered: "See your seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yang and Zhao Pu responded respectfully.
Glancing out of the palace with dim eyes, he asked, "Where is Liu Shu?"
"Liu Shu knows that he is guilty of a serious crime and is waiting for the edict outside the palace!" Liu Yang replied, his tone a little serious and his eyes a little cold.
Somewhat unexpectedly, after asking, Emperor Liu said: "Let him go back!"
Hearing this, Liu Yang immediately spoke: "Liu Shu deceived the emperor this time and even harmed the emperor's body. His crime is unforgivable and should be severely punished!" Ou
Liu Yang had always been tolerant of Liu Shu's many absurd and reckless behaviors, but in this matter, Liu Yang was particularly angry and had no intention of interceding. Of course, such an attitude is necessary, otherwise, it would be a shameful thing...
"It's the father's fault if a son doesn't teach him!" Emperor Liu's answer made people even more confused: "Things between father and son are not so bitter and enmity. What's more, it was me who made a mistake in anger and asked him to go back. The government needs to reflect on it and be resigned to the consequences. There are some things that I need to think about carefully!"
Emperor Liu said so, and Liu Yang didn't care about himself. Although he was very dissatisfied with Liu Shu's behavior this time, and was even very angry, Liu Yang was really worried about Liu Shu.
Fortunately, Emperor Liu was not seriously injured and did not cause more serious consequences, otherwise no one would be able to save Liu Shu. Thinking of this, Liu Yang suddenly thought that Emperor Liu's reaction was probably because he wanted to protect Liu Shu. Otherwise, with Liu Shu's "notorious reputation" in the court and the situation of Dangyang Zhai Fengyun, I'm afraid that Impeachment is inevitable.
This is an upright excuse, and those "loyal and virtuous ministers" dare to pursue and fight fiercely. Once the royal family is involved in such troubles, it will be detrimental to the current situation of the court, and the same is true for the Tian family.
There is no conclusion yet on the royal real estate matter... Now, Emperor Liu used a "father-son conflict" to cover up the emperor's mistake. If anyone still insists on this matter, attack Liu Shu, that would be harboring evil intentions, and Emperor Liu would have a reason to be cruel.
Of course, these considerations are too mysterious. Emperor Liu's thoughts are really difficult to guess. What kind of reaction and decision he makes will not be surprising. Europe
Emperor Liu pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "What is the annual salary of King Jin?"
This question made Liu Yang and Zhao Pu stunned for a moment. Where are they? However, since Emperor Liu asked the question, Zhao Pu simply replied: "According to the regulations, the prince's annual salary is five thousand guans, ten thousand shi of rice, and a number of miscellaneous items such as cloth, porcelain, pearls and jade..."
After hearing this, Emperor Liu immediately said: "Increase the salary of the King of Jin to 10,000 guan per year!"
Zhao Pu glanced at Emperor Liu in surprise, thought for a while, and asked for instructions: "May I ask your Majesty, in what name?"
This was asking for the reason. Emperor Liu thought for a while and said calmly: "Admonitions are effective and things are done in the right way! Is this a sufficient reason? Liu Xi has a saying that is right. These princes and daughters of mine, besides being my children, The ministers of the Han Dynasty should not have excessive privileges compared to those who have made great contributions to the country, otherwise, since they are irresponsible to the country, they are also irresponsible to themselves!"
With Emperor Liu's statement, it seems that a conclusion can be drawn regarding the properties acquired by the nobles of Tianhuang. Emperor Liu's tendency has even become clear.
Without waiting for the two to answer, Emperor Liu said again: "Those arguments can be stopped. There is a lot of commotion outside, don't you just want to see how I handle this matter? Why don't you just wait and see if there is any loophole to exploit? Ou
I will not give them this chance! The Political Affairs Hall later issued a clear rule that all properties of the emperor's relatives, including land, are not considered imperial property. From now on, they will be completely separated from internal funds and brought under the unified jurisdiction of the imperial court, and things will be handled in accordance with the rules and laws! "
After hearing what Emperor Liu said, regardless of what they were thinking, Liu Yang and Zhao Pu both respectfully bowed: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Liu seemed to have not heard anything, and was thinking about something. After thinking for a while, he said: "Pan You has done a good job in Gyeonggi Province, and the reform has achieved remarkable results. He should be praised. The imperial court issued an imperial edict to commend him. ! ”
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Liu said: "In addition, Pan You will be appointed as the chief envoy of Jiannan Road!"
Hearing this, Zhao Pu's expression finally changed, and he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Gyeonggi Province's tax reform has just entered the right track. Is it...is there something inappropriate to change the chief officer at this time?"
He knew what Zhao Pu was worried about, but Emperor Liu said indifferently in a tone that left no doubt: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that we are on the right track, Xiao Guicao can do whatever comes next. What's wrong with that?
Didn't someone compare Pan You to a knife? Then I will use this sharp knife in another place, go to Jiannan Road, and chop down the vine branches wrapped around the imperial court! "Europe
"It is truly an honor for Pan You to be praised by His Majesty like this!" Zhao Pu replied, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sure enough, Emperor Liu would support Pan You's actions in view of the overall situation, but there was no guarantee that he would not have other ideas in his heart. Wouldn't a blow be coming?
Pan You worked vigorously in Gyeonggi Province for more than half a year and offended so many people. After finally achieving some results, he was transferred away. If Gyeonggi Province's reform achievements are evaluated in the future, most of the ripe peaches will probably be transferred. The successor takes it away.
On the other hand, Jiannan Province is also a complex place. Due to geographical reasons, it is relatively closed, the atmosphere is more conservative, and the collusion of various interest chains is more complicated and profound. Pan You wants to use the methods he used in Gyeonggi Province to use the methods in Jiannan Province. If Nandao makes it again, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Although Gyeonggi Province is intricately connected, it is also because Kinki is severely controlled by the imperial court. Some things may seem difficult, but as long as you want to do them and dare to do them, you can always achieve some results.
But Jiannan Road is different. It is a harder nut to crack. If you are not careful, you may get a bloody head. Over the years, the officialdom of the Han Dynasty has been changing. There are countless examples that prove that the more remote the place, the bolder the bureaucrats and interest groups become. The Northwest Military and Political Group led by Lu Duoxun is a living example.
