Chapter 0953: The Son of Heaven is Fierce
On the road that Sili extends in all directions, there is a pair of strange two people, one old and one strong, talking while exploring around the road, and I don't know what I'm looking for, among them, Liu Qu is laughing every day, this old man is definitely the most funny old man Liu Qu has ever seen, Liu Qu has also heard that some people in the court, such as Cao Situ in the past, and Captain Sun of the Southern Army, are all funny, but they are not as good as Handan Chun.
Handan Chun took Liu Qu, according to Handan Chun's own narration, he had apprenticed to Confucianism in the early years, learned the classics, and had some achievements, which is why Zheng Yi was able to tolerate it that day, if someone else went up, even if the other party told it was wonderful, it would definitely attract scolding, but Handan Chun was different, he was a Confucian, Zheng Yi saw him, and he had to bow and worship, so although Zheng Yi was dissatisfied with him treating the ceremony as child's play, there was still no way to accuse him face-to-face.
However, the strange thing is that this old man does not like to read, his Confucian identity, completely forced by his family, he only got it, he loves to walk around, see the different customs of various places, in the past few decades, he in the name of study, visited various regions of the Han Dynasty, except for Guishan, overseas and Sai, the rest of the region he has visited, therefore, this person is particularly aware of the customs and customs of different regions.
He also collected jokes and folk anecdotes from all over the world, and even compiled several books.
In the past few days, listening to Handan Chun talk about the situation in various places, Liu Qu is enjoying it, especially Handan Chun has made an accurate evaluation of some evil things that he doesn't know, for example, every time the Son of Heaven wants to inspect the surroundings, how are the officials in various places ready to deal with it, Handan Chun wrote a ballad for this, the title is called "The official is coming", Liu Qu every time he listens to him sing softly, in addition to laughing, there is always a trace of anger in his heart to be deceived.
"Your Majesty, do you see the crops here growing well? This continuous crop, the growth is gratifying, it is really the best portrayal of the harvest year! Handan Chun pointed to the farmers in the distance and said, Liu Qu looked at those vigorous crops, his mood was suddenly happy, with a trace of pride on his face, "That's nature, the Sili region, it's the richest area in the world!" ”
"That is, in the richest area, there are the richest people, and there are also the richest officials, such as these crops in front of us, which are the best gifts to His Majesty from the Right Fufeng Order here, these crops, all of them are his..."
"That's not right! Han officials are not allowed to own such property! ”
"yes, that's what he thinks, but his brother doesn't seem to agree... The relatives of the family are running these farmlands, which nominally belong to them, but in fact they are still the family property of Youfu Fengling. ”
When Liu Qu looked at those farmlands again, there was only anger in his eyes, he felt an even greater mockery, he looked behind him, and suddenly, Yuan Shang, who pretended to be an entourage, walked to their side, Liu Qu sneered and said, "What is the name of the Right Fufeng Order?" ”
Yuan Shang was stunned for a moment, and said without thinking: "Call Yuan Chang." ”
"Yuan Chang? Is it close to you? ”
"Kindred."
"Then you should investigate this clan of yours, don't let him take the entire Yuan family to Huangquan...", Liu Qu squinted his eyes, lowered his head, and ordered seriously, Yuan Shang was under a lot of pressure, and hurriedly bowed his head and said yes, and after Yuan Shang walked away, Liu Qu sneered, and secretly said to Handan Chun on the side: "I must find a way to eliminate all these country's rats, and when I return to the court, the supervision mansion will become a monitoring station, which is responsible for supervising all the officials for me!" ”
Hearing Liu Qu's words, Handan Chun did not answer.
That's it, the two continued to hurry, among them, in addition to the problem of officials, Handan Chun also let Liu Qu see many problems in the Han Dynasty, of course, the problem of officials is still the most important, all kinds of big and small greed, in addition, the biggest problem still comes from the ranger, this ranger problem is not the one Zhuge Liang they see, Zhuge Liang They see that Yu Ding has no livelihood so he became a ranger, and what they consider is the general direction.
And they ignore a small problem, that is, what problems will so many rangers have in the people, there are many rangers, they befriend each other, form many factions, and then fight with each other, and even oppress ordinary people, ask them for money, especially for which traders, they are even more vicious, if they don't hand over money, business is impossible to continue, and report to the government, the government has arrested those people, and there will be other rangers to avenge him, which makes the traders dare not act rashly.
These rangers are also smart, they never provoke the government, nor do they anger those big businessmen, they just find those low-level businessmen to oppress, many officials even condone their behavior, because they also uphold the idea of focusing on peasants, thinking that businessmen are the cancer of the big man, and what the rangers do to them, it is all their own fault, and the government should not participate in their behavior.
This kind of connivance behavior, so that the rangers more and more rampant, the target from the merchants to the peasants, and even some students, not long ago, there was a student murder case, when there was a ranger partnership to defraud a student, frame him for insulting women, and ask him to give money to avoid disasters, but unfortunately, they did not know that this student was the ram's apprentice, at that time it was convenient for the other party to fight, killed four rangers, and was arrested by the government.
If it weren't for Handan Chun, Liu Qu would never even have thought that the ranger would be like this, in Liu Qu's mind, he has always admired the ranger, and he himself has always wanted to be a ranger, but now, after hearing these things from Handan Chun's mouth, Liu Qu felt that his heart seemed to be broken in an instant, which made him unbearable, and on the subsequent road, Liu Qu didn't say anything, he frowned, and the whole person became silent.
Although Handan Chun was still telling his jokes, Liu Qu couldn't laugh anymore.
Is this really an unprecedented prosperity?? Liu Quhu looked at everything around him suspiciously, what he came into contact with was the increasing grain production of the Han Dynasty, one after another talents were serving the country, he looked at the most powerful northern and southern armies of the Han Dynasty, but now, he found that he had never been able to see this Han clearly, the Han was not as perfect as he thought, there were still countless hidden dangers, and there were still many people suffering.
But he, the son of heaven, had never heard of these things at all.
"Elder, if you tell you the truth, am I a very failed emperor?" After the two walked for a long time, Liu Qu finally asked what he thought in his heart, Handan Chun laughed, he said: "Your Majesty has a free and easy temperament, greedy for fun, does not like government affairs, and is angry in shape, these are all different from many previous emperors...", hearing his answer, Liu Qu was furious and wanted to justify something, but he still held back and didn't say anything.
"Hahaha, but, although Your Majesty is free and easy, he has a benevolent heart, can be happy because of the harvest of the people, can be so hostile to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and can care about the lives of these low-level leaders, which is in the same vein as many previous emperors..."
"Am I a failed son of heaven after all?"
"Your Majesty, what kind of Son of Heaven can be regarded as a successful Son of Heaven?"
"Emperor Xiaode told me that the son of heaven who makes his family and country strong and the people rich is the son of heaven who succeeds."
"It is worthy of being the Holy Son of Filial Piety... What about His Majesty's free and easy nature, what about not liking government affairs and being playful? As long as you can make the big man better, Your Majesty will have 10,000 bad habits, and Your Majesty will also be a successful son of heaven....", Handan Chun said, Liu Qu seemed to be a little awake, nodded in a trance, and didn't say anything, but, next, he took out a book and recorded many things that Handan Chun said one by one.
Sometimes, he was too lazy to record, so he asked Handan Chun to help record, Handan Chun smiled and asked him for a pen fee, but he would still record his words and hand them to the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven is still the same unobtrusive and stubborn character, he has not changed, but he has also begun to pay attention to some things.
The two sat in a roadside restaurant, the restaurant owner greeted them with a smile and asked them to sit down, the decoration here is simple, but it is still very clean, Liu Qu observed the surroundings, couldn't help nodding, he asked with a smile: "Is this an official shop?" The shopkeeper was busy not far away, and when he heard their inquiry, the shopkeeper hurriedly got up and replied with a smile: "Jun, but I opened it myself... How much I look up to Emperor Xiaode..."
Liu Qu nodded, the original restaurants and wine shops were all opened by the official family, and people were sent to take care of them, and these people would receive the money issued by the temple, which was considered to be working for the official family, during the period of Emperor Xiaode, these were completely opened, and private restaurants and wine shops were allowed, which was a big move, but it did play a very good role, and the people thanked the Son of Heaven for his benevolence, and now, these people are also remembering.
Liu Qu was listening to this person's words, suddenly, seven or eight strong men appeared in the distance, these people were wearing long swords, obviously, they were all rangers here, they walked towards here with a big grin, Yuan Shang was about to step forward, but was pulled by Liu Qu, Liu Qu shook his head at him, Yuan Shang retreated, the ranger came over, did not come to Liu Qu's side, and sat down directly opposite.
They were very casual and noisy, and the shopkeeper stepped forward to serve them even more cautiously.
"Zou shop... Your family has not paid for this month's offering? The leader of the ranger squinted his eyes and asked, and the old shopkeeper said fearfully: "Some time ago, my son went to the military academy, and I paid him a fee... There's really not much left..."
"Oh?? Threaten us with your son who is in military school?? Hahaha, will we be afraid of a mere soldier student? Do you guess whether his sword is fast, or mine is fast...", the leader got up suddenly, grabbed the old man's neck directly, and the shopkeeper trembled in fear, and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"I guess, you'll die soon...", Liu Qu said coldly, slowly standing up.
The ranger turned his head sideways, looked at Liu Qu seriously, looked at him for a moment, and then smiled, "Your Excellency, I'm just joking with him, don't you care..."
At that moment, Liu Qu didn't answer, picked up the Hu chair on the side, and threw it at the person, the solid Hu chair flew out, and in an instant, it hit the person's head hard, the ranger's head exploded like a melon, blood splashed, at that moment, the shopkeeper fainted directly, Handan Chun's face was pale, and those rangers, looking at the exploding head blankly, shouted, and fled backwards.
Liu Qu roared angrily, jumped forward, grabbed the corpse of the ranger, threw it at those people, and immediately smashed three more, Liu Qu rushed up, grabbed one, and slammed three punches into his face, the person's face was already unable to look directly, motionless, tilting his head, he had been killed, Yuan Shang looked ahead dumbfounded, just when he reacted and pulled out his long sword, those rangers had been subdued by Liu Qu alone, killing five, and the rest were lying on the ground, life and death were unknown.
Liu Qu wiped the blood on his face, turned around, and looked at Yuan Shang behind him.
"What are you doing?"
Pick that shopkeeper up. ”
Sincerely!! ”
