The news that Guo Shengtong and Liu Fu were imprisoned spread far and wide, and the ministers, in view of the unification of the country today, were silent about Liu Xiu's decision and never mentioned it, except for Han Xin, who has always been straightforward, directly asked Liu Xiu at the court meeting why Guo Shengtong was imprisoned.

Liu Xiu's face changed abruptly because of this, and he said calmly that there was only his reason for this matter, and others did not need to know.

Han Xin did not let go of this matter, he bluntly said that Guo Shengtong has worked hard for more than ten years, and if Guo Shengtong is not a crime, he will not be punished, so Liu Xiuda does not have to make a big fuss.

At that time, Liu Xiu listened to what Han Xin said, and said to Han Xin unhappily, not to mention that he has always been fair, but only that it was his decision to deal with whom, and it had nothing to do with Han Xin, so he brushed his sleeves and left.

This matter soon spread throughout the palace and outside the palace that day, and when King Liu Yi heard about it, a plan suddenly came to life.

On the second day, there was such a rumor inside and outside the palace - Han Xin and Guo Shengtong were happy with each other when they were young, but they missed each other because of Guo Shengtong's uncle Liu Yang.

In the first month of the fifteenth year of Jianwu (39 years), Han Xin wrote to Liu Xiu, saying that Liu Xiu violated the will of heaven and would soon encounter a crop failure and starving people.

Liu Xiu also heard about the rumors in the palace, but he didn't take it to heart, and naturally he didn't let Wanfu track it down, but Han Xin's words now made him very displeased and suspicious, and felt that Han Xin was so bold to make jokes about Guo Shengtong in order to let him forgive Guo Shengtong. For the sake of prudence, Liu Xiu decided to let Tai Shi Ling observe whether there was anything abnormal in the sky, but Tai Shi Ling's reply was that everything was normal. On the 23rd day of the first month, Liu Xiu officially issued an edict to dismiss Han Xin and send him back to his hometown. Even so, Liu Xiu still felt angry. So, he issued another edict and sent a messenger to continue to hold Han Xin accountable on the road.

According to Han law, if an official who is guilty and degraded is questioned by an edict on the road, he is forced to confess his guilt and commit suicide. Captain Bao Yong repeatedly pleaded for Han Xin, but Liu Xiu did not agree. Han Xin and his son Han Ying received an edict of reprimand on the road, and immediately committed suicide with a sword.

Han Xin has always been very famous, and when he died of innocence, everyone was dissatisfied, and Liu Xiu also regretted his impulsiveness. In order to make up for the past, he issued an edict to posthumously give money and food to the Han family, and ordered Yousi to be buried with the gift of Da Situ, and gave comfort and care to his family.

Han Xin was deposed, and Liu Xiu appointed Ouyang She, the Taishou of Runan, as the chief situ.

At this time, the invasion and plundering of the Xiongnu became more and more severe day by day, and the states and counties were powerless to prohibit it. In February, Wu Han was sent to lead Ma Cheng and Ma Wu to the north to attack the Xiongnu. More than 60,000 officials and civilians who migrated to Yanmen County, Dai County, and Shanggu County were resettled to the east of Juyongguan and Changshan Pass to avoid the harassment of the Xiongnu. The left part of the Xiongnu then moved to live in the border fortress. Concerned about this, the imperial court sent additional armed forces to the border fortress, each with several thousand strongholds.

In March of the fifteenth year of Jianwu (39 AD), Bashu Xiping, the great Sima Wu Han wrote several times: requesting the crown prince. Dasikong Dou Rong, Gushi Hou Li Tong, Jiaodong Hou Jia Jun, Gaomi Hou Deng Yu, etc., have played: fixed position, Guang Fan Fu, Zun Zongmiao, Chongsheji, and become a prince.

Liu Xiu nodded this time. He had a total of 11 sons, Queen Guo had five sons: Liu Qiang, Liu Fu, Liu Kang, Liu Yan, Liu Yan, Yin Gui had five sons: Liu Yang, Liu Cang, Liu Jing, Liu Heng, Liu Jing, and Xu Meisheng had one son: Liu Ying. Among the eleven sons, except for the eldest son Liu Qiangli, who was the crown prince, the rest had no titles.

On the fourth day of the fourth month of the fifteenth year of Jianwu, the temple was sacrificed in the etheric prison, and the prince Liu Fu was named the right Yi duke, Liu Ying was the Chu duke, Liu Yang was the Donghai duke, Liu Kang was the Jinan duke, Liu Cang was the Dongping duke, Liu Yan was the Huaiyang duke, Liu Jing was the Shanyang Mountain, Liu Heng was the Linhuai duke, Liu Yan was the Zuo Yi duke, and Liu Jing was the Lang evil duke.

On the 17th, Liu Xiu posthumously crowned his eldest brother Liu Jiu as Duke Wu of Qi, and his second brother Liu Zhong as Duke Lu Ai. Liu Xiu was grateful to his eldest brother Liu Jiu for his unsuccessful achievements, so he raised Liu Xiu's two sons, Liu Zhang and Liu Xing, and loved him very much. Because they were young and noble, they wanted them to experience and understand administrative affairs, so they sent Liu Zhang to temporarily act as the Pingyin County Commander, and Liu Xing to temporarily act as the Guishi County Commander. Later, Liu Zhang was promoted to Liangjun Taishou, and Liu Xing was promoted to Hongnong Taishou, which is a later story.

Liu Xiu self-declared the cultivated land area of the whole country, which was not based on the truth, and the household registration and age had increased or decreased, so he issued an edict and ordered all states and counties to inspect and verify. At that time, the state and county governors were cunning and opportunistic, and they indiscriminately gathered the peasants into the fields in the name of measuring the land, and even the houses, villages and villages were also measured, and the people blocked the road crying and shouting; Some officials give preferential treatment to the powerful and infringe on the poor and weak people.

At that time, each county sent its own envoy to present the chapter, and Liu Xiu found that there were words on the slip of the official of Chenliu County, and saw that it was written: "Yingchuan and Hongnong can be asked, but Henan and Nanyang cannot be asked." Liu Xiu asked Chen Liu's officials what was going on, but the officials refused to admit it, denying that "I picked it up on Changshou Street." Liu Xiu was furious. At that time, Liu Yang, the Duke of the East China Sea, was only twelve years old, and he was suitable to serve the emperor, and said: "He was ordered by the county guard, and wanted to compare it with the situation of other counties measuring land. ”

Liu Xiu asked: "That's the case, why can't Henan and Nanyang be asked?" ”

Liu Yang replied calmly: "Henan Imperial City, how close to the ministers; Nanyang Emperor Township, many close relatives; The field house is overdue, and it cannot prevail. ”

Liu Xiu ordered Hu Ben Zhonglang to question Chen Liu's official, and the official admitted that the truth was exactly as Liu Yang, the Duke of the East China Sea, answered. Liu Xiu then loves Liu Yang even more. Liu Yang, the Duke of the East China Sea, can pass the "Spring and Autumn Period" at the age of 10, Liu Xiu is regarded as a prodigy, and has a lot of praise, today I listened to the discussion of the Duke of the East China Sea, and I love it more and more, and I regret that I am too early to establish an heir.

Guo Shengtong saw through Liu Xiu's intentions, and inevitably ridiculed Liu Xiunai as an ungrateful and despicable villain who crossed the river and demolished the bridge. Liu Xiu turned a deaf ear to this.

After Liu Xiu learned of the facts, he sent a messenger to investigate and verify the behavior of the officials of 2000 Shi who bent the law for personal gain. In the winter, on the first day of the Lunar New Year in November, Ouyang She, the great Situ Ouyang She, was arrested and imprisoned for cheating on land measurement during his previous tenure in Runan Taishou, and obtained more than 10 million stolen money. Ouyang She's family has taught "Shangshu" for generations, and eight generations have been doctors. There were more than 1,000 students and disciples guarding outside the palace gate to intercede for Ouyang She, and some even shaved off their own hair and punished themselves. Li Zhen, a plain man, was only seventeen years old and asked to die for Ouyang She. Liu Xiu was not pardoned after all, and Ouyang She died in prison

On the afternoon of December (27th), Liu Xiu appointed Guannei Hou Dai Shi as the chief situ.

After Yin Lihua learned of the turmoil in the imperial court, she suddenly understood what Liu Yang asked that day, and it was only at this time that she realized Liu Yang's desire to seize the throne, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. (To be continued.) )
