The Young Prince Chapter 57 Ma Zheng

Liu Rong still knows that the master's father is this person, although he is not a member of the family. But when it comes to doing things, it's still better than an ordinary sword and pen officer......

The next day, Liu Rong went to the court office to see the master father Yan again, and asked him: "Do you know Han law?" ”。

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty has read Han Law, but I am not very familiar with it at this time."

Liu Rong said: "It's okay, I will ask Wang Sheng to hand over the Han Law file to you." In the next few days, you will study all the nine chapters of the Han Law, and then I will officially appoint you as a subordinate officer of the Imperial Court, with an annual salary of 500 stones."

After the words fell, Liu Rong ordered Wang Sheng to take out a box and hand it to the master father, saying: "There is a hundred gold here, which can be used for you to settle down in Chang'an."

What he did, the person who was a confidant died, and the master father saw that His Royal Highness Liu Rong not only arranged an official position, but now he gave him a hundred gold, how could he not be moved.

The master father immediately knelt on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness has thanked Your Highness, and Your Majesty will definitely serve Your Highness."

Liu Rong still understands the hearts of scholars very well, so he will make this move. Seeing that the master father was like this, Liu Rong said in his heart: It seems that my acting skills have also made great progress now............

However, within a few days, the master father Yan showed Liu Rong that he was familiar with the laws of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Rong casually asked a few questions, which he could answer fluently.

Seeing this, Liu Rong was relieved, and instructed him: "If I am not there, this place will be handled by you, and you must enforce the law impartially, but you must not be in a hurry." If it involves important ministers of the DPRK or relatives of the emperor, it must be reported to me, do you know? ”。

Liu Rong said this because he knew that this person's actions might be a little extreme, and he was afraid that he would get into trouble and couldn't clean it up.

In the next few days, when someone sued the official, Liu Rong ordered the master father to deal with it, and after a few days of observation, he found that this person was becoming more and more sophisticated, so he put his mind at ease.

When he returned to the palace and lay on the bed, Liu Rong said to himself: Now I finally don't have to be so busy............

……………………………………………………………………

The next morning, Chao Cao, who had just been a doctor of imperial history, began to speak to Liu Qijin, the son of heaven......

When Liu Qi, the son of heaven, just sat down, as soon as he accepted the congratulations of the ministers, Chao Cuo went to the palace and said: "The ministers have recently felt that there are major shortcomings in the current horse politics of my Han Dynasty, please let Your Majesty know it."

Hearing this, the courtiers immediately began to talk to each other again.

At this time, I saw Zhan Shi Dou Ying jump out, and after saluting the Son of Heaven with a jade wat in his hand, he immediately became impassioned and said, "What does Doctor Yu Shi mean? The horse politics of my Han Dynasty was determined by His Majesty Emperor Gao, and it was revised by the emperors of my Han Dynasty.

Doctor Yushi, where do you place my Majesty Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaowen!! ”。

Dou Ying is the second person of the current Dou family's relatives, and his uncle Dou Guangguo never participated in the government politics, so the Dou family in this dynasty is headed by Dou Ying.

But today, the son has always reused Chao Cuo, and Chao Cuo has too high a self-esteem, and no one except the Son of Heaven is in his eyes. And Dou Ying is also a person with a high spirit, how can the two get along.

Recently, Chao Cuo was promoted to the deputy prime minister of the Imperial Doctor, but Dou Ying is still a Zhan official, how can he balance his heart. Today, as soon as he saw Chao Cuo's words, he immediately jumped out and picked up the banners of Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaowen to suppress Chao Cuo.

Hearing Dou Ying's words, Chao Cuo didn't care at all, turned his head, and said without changing his face: "Can Dou Zhan first listen to the end of this imperial history before speaking?" ”。

Seeing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, also spoke: "Be quiet, and wait for the Imperial Doctor to finish speaking, and then discuss."

It was the first time Liu Rong had seen this kind of scene, if there was no Son of Heaven to stop him, he was afraid that the two would quarrel in court, but Liu Rong knew the bloody nature of the courtiers in the Han Dynasty. If one is not good, there is a possibility of fighting in court............

Dou Ying had to stop talking when he heard the words and stepped aside.

After saluting the Son of Heaven again, Chao Cuo said: "Your Majesty, my current horse politics of the Han Dynasty, as Dou Zhan said just now, was established by Emperor Gao, and Emperor Gao encouraged the people to raise horses. When Empress Lu was in power, he also ordered that pregnant mares should be forbidden to go out of the fortress, and the horses would be captured by the enemy.

At the time of Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaowen knew that the people were poor, so Emperor Xiaowen issued an edict ordering the common people not to raise horses, and all horses were raised by the imperial court horse farm, so as to reduce the burden of the people.

But recently, the minister learned from the servant that in recent years, the number of horses in the horse farm has decreased sharply, and if this continues, our Han army will be without horses in less than ten years."

As soon as Chao Cuo's words came out, the courtiers were shocked, and Emperor Jing also frowned and asked, "Where is the servant?" ”。

I saw a person walking to the hall and said, "The minister's servant is here."

ps: One of the Nine Emperors, in charge of the Son of Heaven's chariot, as well as horses.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, asked, "Is what Doctor Yu Shi said true?"

Li Ji replied hesitantly: "Your Majesty... However, in recent years, the number of war horses has plummeted due to the lack of horse breeding."

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, naturally knows the importance of horses, and has a saying: Horses are the foundation of armor and the great use of the country. Tranquility is in the order of non-respect and humility, and if there is change, it is difficult to help the near and far.

Hearing this, Liu Qixin, the son of heaven, said: Now that we are about to implement the strategy of cutting the domain, it is possible to use soldiers, if there is a shortage of war horses, how can it be good............

Solid on this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, asked Chao wrongly: "It seems that it is really as Chao Qing said, and now my Han Ma Zheng has a big problem.

I don't know if Chao Qing has a good solution."

I saw Chao Cuo take out a bamboo slip from his bosom and said: "Today's ministers are talking about this matter, which is to solve the shortcomings of my Han and Ma politics, and this is all in the middle of the performance."

Wang Yan immediately stepped forward, picked up the music in Chao Cuo's hand, and handed it to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven looked at it, and after thinking for a while, he said: "What Chao Qing played, but it is also a feasible strategy."

He also said: "Chao Qing, why don't you tell the essence of the song and let the courtiers listen to it."

After saluting the Son of Heaven, Chao Cuo said, "No, Your Majesty obeys the order."

Turning his head and facing the courtiers, Chao said wrongly: "Shicai, you must have heard the words of the servant, so I will make a statement to the Son of Heaven and reform my Han Ma Zheng."

Hearing Chao Cuo say this, of course Dou Ying knew who he was talking about, and his angry face changed suddenly, and he almost had a seizure in court.

I also heard Chao mistakenly said: "My advice to Your Majesty has four strategies, one is that the people were not allowed to eat when Emperor Xiaowen was emperor, and there was no time to raise horses." But now it is different, Emperor Xiaowen practiced benevolent government and rested with the people.

Now that the livelihood of the people of our Han family has been greatly improved, the ban on private horse breeding should be lifted, and the people should be encouraged to raise more horses, which will be collected by the imperial court.

The two expand the Royal Horse Farm in the suburbs of Chang'an. There are several counties in the northwest of the border, Tianshui, Longxi, Shangjun, Xihe and other places have lush pastures, and horse farms can be set up in these places to raise horses.

Three, the height of the horse is more than 5 feet 9 inches, the teeth are not flat, and they are not allowed to go out of the middle of the pass.

Fourth, the war horses of the princes and kings who raised horses were removed to serve the use of the imperial court.

This is the minister's advice to His Majesty."

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, thought about it and said: "I think the first two strategies of Chao Qing's words are good, but I don't know the last strategy, why do you want to draw out the war horses of the vassal states."

Chao Cuo said: "Your Majesty, most of the princes and countries are in the south, and there is no place to raise horses, but only the country of Zhao, deep in the land of Yan Zhao, has been a popular place to raise horses and produce war horses since ancient times.

And the minister learned from the imperial history sent to Zhao that there were nearly 100,000 war horses in King Zhao's horse house. Zhao Guodi is only three counties, but there are only 30,000 soldiers, but there are so many war horses, I think it must be the horse raised by the king of Zhao for the son of heaven of my Han family, so this subordinate has this advice."

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he said: "Great goodness, I don't want King Zhao to be so heartfelt, and I will definitely issue an edict to reward King Zhao in the near future."

Ma Zheng was still very useful to the Han Empire at this time, and when Emperor Gao Liu Bang pacified the world, the national strength of that matter was unimaginably poor. After nearly ten years of turmoil from the destruction of Qin to the destruction of the world, the population of the world has plummeted by nearly half, and the people have not even eaten the beans. It is difficult for the Son of Heaven to find several horses of the same color.

The important ministers of the court, from the prime minister to the ordinary officials, couldn't even make a carriage, so they could only take an ox cart. At first, these important ministers of the court were very disdainful of the ox cart, but after sitting for a long time, they found that the ox cart was more stable than the horse-drawn cart, and they even liked to ride the ox cart.........

Later, Emperor Jing promulgated the horse policy, and the wind of raising horses in the world was prevalent immediately. According to the history books, by the time of Liu Yu, every family in the world loved horses and raised horses, and if someone rode a pregnant mare to the house of relatives and friends, they would be looked down upon.

This provided sufficient horse supplies for Liu Yu to go out of the fortress and fight with the Xiongnu............

As soon as Liu Rong heard Chao Cuo's words, he understood what he meant, this plan seemed to be aimed at the Xiongnu, but it was not aimed at the princes and kings. Horses are not any horse can be war horses, horses above five feet nine inches high are war horses, war horses can not go out of the customs, and the horse of King Zhao should be withdrawn to supplement the use of the imperial court, once this policy is implemented, the princes and kings of the world will no longer have war horses available.

Zhao is a country of one or three counties, with less than 30,000 soldiers, but there are more horses in captivity than the royal horse farm, how can the meaning of King Zhao not be suspicious.

In this way, the imperial court asked Zhao Guo for a war horse, and King Zhao would never dare not give it. If you give it, you will raise it for the court, which is a great achievement.

If you don't give it, you must have the intention of rebellion, so you will raise so many war horses for the rebellion. The imperial court immediately had a reason to crusade against Zhao.

The Son of Heaven asked, "I think that what the Imperial Doctor played is feasible, what do you think?" ”。

When the ministers saw that the Son of Heaven said that it was feasible, how could they dare not obey it, they were all words, and the Son of Heaven was sage.

Liu Rong's father, Liu Qi, is much luckier than Emperor Xiaowen. At this time, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to stand up against the words of the Son of Heaven.

When Emperor Xiaowen was in power, if he wanted to implement a policy in the court, he must first obtain the consent of the meritorious candidates, otherwise it would be difficult to do it.

But now, all the heroes have died, and the only founding candidate, Shen Tujia, has also been driven back to his home, how can the courtiers still argue with the Son of Heaven? This is also the reason why as soon as Shen Tu went to illness, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was willing to act with Chao Cuo............
