Chapter 58: Liu Yi who "took the initiative" to be pigeon
Acting royal palace
It was noon, the sun was warm and warm, and the temperature around us felt just right, without a hint of heat.
Liu Yi, the acting king, knelt in front of the case, flipped the bamboo slips, and corrected the large and small chores in the country with a brush.
He frowned and whispered to the music on the table: "Some merchants in Daijun took advantage of the plague of insects to plague the people, and sat on the ground to raise the price, and the price of grain was raised to three times."
Liu Yi angrily slapped the brush on the desk.
"Bang!"
He roared angrily, "How can this be true! Such a natural disaster, even dare to sit on the ground and raise the price! Shang Junyan: Shinong Industry and Commerce is really the truth of the world! ”
"No wonder the merchant is last in line! Look at their profit-seeking behavior and disregarding the lives of the people, they should be severely punished! After Gaozu, the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business formulated by my Han Dynasty is really a rational policy! ”
Picking up the brush again, he quickly wrote a line of reply on the bamboo slip: "All merchants who sit on the ground and raise prices will be investigated by the county lieutenants!" All those who commit adultery and criminals will be imprisoned! Heavy sentence! The property was returned to the state treasury. ”
After thinking for a while, worried that the matter of sitting on the ground and raising the price could not be suppressed, he continued to write: "Anyone who maliciously raises the market price will be sent by the county lieutenant to surround it and be blamed by the people."
"If the people starve to death because of their price increases, they will be sentenced to murder and their lives will be atoned!"
"You must not use the lives of domestic slaves to catch the bloodline of the merchant family!"
Looking at the bamboo slips in his hand with satisfaction, Liu Yi carefully rolled up the bamboo slips and placed them in the corner of the case.
On behalf of the king's sovereign authority, the prime minister supervises!
To put it bluntly, the prime minister is Liu Che's eyes planted in the vassal states.
As long as the princes and kings do not do such outrageous things as rebellion, generally speaking, their actions will not be interfered with by the state minister.
Unless someone reports it.
Once it is reported, it will basically bleed profusely, and if it is more serious, it will be suicide to apologize.
How did Jiang Chong start in the future? It's not that Shang Chang'an sued his brother-in-law.
The final result was that his brother-in-law lost the position of the crown prince of Zhao, and Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao, had to send troops to attack the Xiongnu.
Unabated in anger, Liu Yi picked up another bamboo slip again and began to read it carefully.
Looking at this writing format, this is a bamboo slip from Chang'an, sent by the lieutenant.
Liu Yi gently opened the bamboo slip and began to read its contents.
"The edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty: I have heard that those who are capable should be high-ranking officials. Shang Ying changed the law, and the filial piety made him a marquis, and he was called Shang Jun; Bai Qi broke Chu, and King Zhao named him Wu Anjun.
Ming Zhe, the son of the Bai family in Taiyuan County, offered the method of making refined salt, and provided a source of meat for the border generals.
The first emperor won the government, although he was tyrannical, but he actually made Ganluo twelve years old. Ying Zheng knows talented people, and I also know talented people! Qin has a twelve-year-old Shangqing, and Han can also have a seventeen-year-old feudal king.
I, in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, named Bai Mingzhe as the king of Taiyuan, with 100 households, located in Taiyuan County.
Liu Yi, the acting king, should immediately find a suitable food for Taiyuan Jun in the area under his jurisdiction, and he will return soon. When Taiyuanjun arrives, you should deliver the food. ”
Underneath this document is a small piece of silk book.
Liu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened the silk book, which was Liu Che's advice to this little nephew.
"Liu Yi, the significance of Taiyuan Jun to my Han is like the significance of Wu Anjun to Qin State, whether he can stay in Taiyuan depends on Jun's ability."
Liu Yi frowned, not understanding what Liu Che meant.
Staying in Taiyuan depends on my ability?
Isn't it Taiyuan-kun? What else does this depend on? Could it be that he still has the intention of breaking away from the national origin?
I represent such a place where you are so brilliant, you don't want to stay?
Don't give face to the widow?
Taiyuan-kun! You're Taiyuan-kun!
I am the one who represents the country!
Although the liehous and feudal lords were under the jurisdiction of lieutenants in Chang'an, they also had the name of Taiyuan.
It's good to give face!
He didn't know why, but he raised his head and called outside.
"Chen Ke, Chen Ke! In! ”
"Crunch ......"
A eunuch pushed open the door and ran in small steps.
"My lord, the slave is here."
Liu Yi shook the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at Chen Ke who bowed his head, and asked: "The widow asked you to check Taiyuan Jun a few days ago, did you find it?" What does such a warrior have to do with my country? ”
Chen Ke arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Back to the king, the people sent by the slave maid only found out part of the content. After all, too much time has passed, and almost everyone who was involved in this matter back then can barely remember clearly. ”
Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the news you found first."
"The widow wants to see, the warrior of the open warehouse, the benefactor of the country, the gentleman of the world, and the origin of the widow and the country!"
Liu Yi was able to sit in the position of acting king, in addition to being shaded by his father, the most important thing was that he was capable, and he had a good relationship with his uncle Liu Che.
Otherwise, Liu Che would not be stupid enough to hand over such an important area casually.
Chen Ke bowed, and his voice was loud, "Wang, according to the report of Yousi, Bai Mingzhe was once a native of Taiyuan County under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan County. ”
"His ancestor is Bai Zhong, so Qin Taiyuan is the county guard."
Liu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned on the desk excitedly and asked, "Bai Zhong, could it be the descendant of the God Killer?"
"Exactly!" Chen Ke nodded.
Liu Yi clapped his hands excitedly: "Good guy, it turns out to be a hero!" Good! Hahaha! ”
"In the past, Wu Anjun's demeanor was rarely seen, and it was a great pity! Now after the Feng Taiyuan Jun, the widow should see it! ”
Liu Yi got up, his arm trembled, pointed to his cronies, and said, "Chen Ke! Is the Taiyuan Jun's hometown clan still in Taiyuan County? ”
Chen Ke's face was pale, and he hesitated: "This ......"
"What? Do you have something unspeakable? ”
"The king, please forgive the sin, Taiyuan Jun has been expelled from the clan by the Taiyuan Bai clan. The slave maid doesn't know if he is still a descendant of Wu Anjun. ”
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you expelled?!" Could it be a wild concubine? ”
If it is a wild species, it is possible to be expelled from it.
After all, it's hard to admit it.
Unless the youngest generation of the family does not have a man, or if he has a large contribution to fame, it is impossible for such a person to return to the clan.
Chen Ke shook his head, "On the contrary, after Taiyuan Jun is the eldest son!" ”
According to the news sent back by Yousi, Taiyuan Jun's mother died in childbirth, and after that, the Taiyuan Bai family re-searched for a marriage match for his father, and finally they hit the family of the Marquis.
However, Taiyuan Jun's father refused to accept this family affair because of his dedication to oneness, and fell out with the family. Fearing retaliation, he finally led the five-year-old Taiyuan Jun to Chang'an. ”
"Harm! Taiyuan Bai's is confused! Liu Yiqi stomped his feet.
His face was flushed, mixed with joy and sorrow, he pounded his chest vigorously, and shouted: "My country has finally given birth to such a warrior!" He was kicked out by this group of pedantic people! I'm angry! I'm angry, too. If you want to get married, won't you wait for the heirs of the second and third houses to grow older? ”
"Taiyuan Bai Clan! After being a famous general! ”
"Ahh
Liu Yi is now eager to carry a two-hundred-pound broadsword, kill Taiyuan, split the heads of the Bai family's group of old stubborns, and see what the hell is inside!
"King! Now the clan before Taiyuan Jun is still in Taiyuan County. Dare to ask the king if he needs to summon them? ”
"Humph! Summoning a bunch of pedantic people? The widow is not in that mood! Liu Yi knelt on the cushion again angrily, "Chen Ke, Your Majesty's edict has already explained that Taiyuan Jun will arrive in Taiyuan County in a few days." The widow plans to go to Taiyuan County, and he will meet this Taiyuan Jun! ”
"You will pass on the widow's order for a while, let the minister of state temporarily handle the military affairs for the widow, of course, don't tell the minister of state the specific temporary reason, that old man is very annoying, once he knows, he will definitely be verbose and uneasy."
"Ah, my lord, that's not appropriate, is it?" Chen Ke had a bitter face and admonished, "If the minister of state knows that the king has abandoned government affairs and secretly ran out to see Taiyuan Jun, he will definitely be furious." ”
"When the king returns, he will inevitably be nagged."
Liu Yi turned his head disdainfully and said, "Hmph! When you come back, that old fellow, nag and nag. The widow has been diligent in handling government affairs, and occasionally goes out to relax, why not? What's more, seeing that Taiyuan Jun is uncle explained, I am obeying Chang'an's orders. ”
He paused and said categorically: "All in all, today, even if the imperial uncle comes, the widow will go to see the heroes of my country!"
"This ......" Chen Ke's words were blocked, and he didn't know what to do.
Liu Yi stood up, walked to Chen Ke's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay!" That's it! Chen Ke, aren't you just worried that the country will be verbose with you? So be it! Thou hast followed the widow to Taiyuan! ”
"But you have to say it beforehand! You can't go and make a small report to the prime minister! Otherwise, the widow will let you go to Yanmen to assist the soldiers in resisting the Xiongnu and raise the prestige of the Han Dynasty! ”
Chen Ke smiled bitterly: "This ...... The slave and the maid obeyed. ”
"Hmm. Thou shalt go down at once and arrange for the carriage, and as soon as it gets dark, we will leave!" Pingcheng is six or seven days away from Jinyang, and the old fox of the prime minister is very cunning, and it will change later! ”
"No!"
Looking at the back of Chen Ke leaving, Liu Yi smiled with satisfaction and said to himself, "Taiyuanjun, I don't know how you will react after seeing the widow?" Since Uncle Huang has made a special explanation, the widow must give you a satisfactory explanation! The heroes of our country, from beginning to end, must also be the people of the country. ”
He chose to believe what the edict said, and did not notice that Bai Mingzhe did not go to Taiyuan at all as the edict said, but went straight to Jiaodong County.
