After the ministers of the Son of Heaven re-seated, Huo Guang explained several reforms in this court meeting one by one for the ministers to know.

For example, the tax system reform: the tax in kind will be changed to a monetary tax, which will be collected by the Dasi Nong and Shaofu according to the project, and the peasant households in the world can sell the output of the fields to the Yicang, replacing the peasant households with the annual labor and other policies.

However, due to time reasons, it can only be briefly explained, and the ministers can only know the general direction of the reform, and the specific needs to be discussed at the court meeting the next day, and specific materials are issued for the courtiers to go back and watch.

In the midst of the discussion, Jin Wuxi fell, and the first day of the court meeting in the first year of the first year was coming to an end, and the Weiyang Palace was brightly lit, and countless maids were shuttling back and forth between the ministers with dinner plates.

The most distinctive part of the Han New Year's ceremony has begun. The so-called banquet is a banquet set up by the Son of Heaven to entertain and reward the ministers.

More than 100 years later, Ban Gu praised the scale of the banquet of the Eastern Han Dynasty in "Dongdu Fu", saying that the court was a thousand products, ten thousand bells of wine, Lie Jinpan, Ban Yuzhen, Jiazhen Yu, and the prison At this time, the scale of the banquet was naturally far less than that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in essence, the banquet of the two Han Dynasty was actually an entertainment link for the monarch and the minister to enjoy together.

The so-called feast is respectful, Yan is happy, and the banquet is also one of the few occasions in the Han family where the ministers can openly pat the emperor's ass without fear of being criticized.

The sycophants are naturally eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, these sycophants with different tricks, if it is once or twice, it is still very comfortable to listen to. But there are more people talking, and Liu Xun is a little impatient.

"Are you idiots for me? What about monkeys? Liu Xun couldn't help but slander in his heart.

It can only be said that the sycophants of the Han family still need to be strengthened! Fortunately, the sycophants still have the ability to observe words and feelings, and after finding that Liu Xun's attitude was a little indifferent, they immediately died down.

After the feast, today's court meeting came to an end, and under the escort of the army, the bureaucrats from all walks of life began to respectfully retreat.

Liu Xun had also left the Xuanshu Hall and came to the Changle Palace.

For him, today's work is not done! In the Han family system, after the banquet of the previous dynasty, the people of the later dynasty will have a family banquet.

Today's participants in the Han family banquet are, of course, Shangguan, Huo, Shi, Xu, Zhang and other relatives, in addition, there are Guangling King Liu and his wife, concubines and heirs, the new Zhao King Liu Zun.

Speaking of Liu Zun, this is also a hard-working child, so Liu Changzi, the king of Zhao Qing, in the first year, two months after Liu Xun ascended the throne, Liu Changyong, the king of Zhao, respected the heir, but only insisted on five years, and the history books said that King Huai.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Liu Xun's car entered Changle Palace, Huang Xie got a secret report.

Then he came to report to Liu Xunyu: "Shangguan sent a secret letter from the servant"

Shangguan An? Liu Xun's body was originally a little lazy, but he sat up straight all of a sudden, he looked at Huang Xie and ordered, "Bring it!" "Shangguan An will never send a secret letter for no reason! It seems that there is a problem on the side of the East Palace.

Huang Xie bowed down and took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms. handed it to Liu Xun, Liu Xun opened it, only glanced at it, and his face changed suddenly.

There is only one sentence in the silk book: The Queen Mother wants to move the King of Guangling to the King of Changyi!

King Guangling, naturally, is Liu Tan! King of Chu...... The corners of Liu Xun's mouth overflowed with a hint of murderous intent. "Why don't you just be named the king of Changyi?" Liu Xun sneered.

The Queen Mother Shangguan's family, Liu Xun knows very well that this is a woman with soft ears, and regardless of the world, she generally likes to listen to dramas in Changle Palace on weekdays.

That's why Liu Xun was able to grasp power so quickly.

Otherwise, if you change the empress dowager with a different personality, if it is the Empress Dowager Dou when Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor, then Liu Xun will probably have to worry about the pro-government affairs, and he can only stay in Weiyang Palace every day to play in the mud.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan's ears are so soft, naturally it also gives many people an opportunity, a typical example is Shangguan An, relying on the favor of the Empress Dowager, played the game of Long Aotian in Chang'an City, in addition to the face of the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister, others do not give face at all, all the doctors and officials have hit a wall in front of them, this is still good, at least Shangguan An is dedicated to the public, and others and others are also showing their strengths, and they have ideas on the Empress Dowager Shangguan, in order to gain power and wealth.

In the past, Liu Xun was too lazy to pay attention to these political vultures, because even if he managed it, it was useless, and he could only punish small punishments and admonish them.

However, these guys don't know whether they are alive or dead, and now they are so bold that they dare to interfere with the internal affairs of the royal family?

Liu Xun really didn't know whether to praise them for being good enough or applaud their deaths, through the secret letter sent by Shangguan An, Liu Xun almost didn't need to investigate.

Like this, it can be said that the Queen Mother can make a decision on the issue of sealing the country, where can one or two people do it? Without the concerted operation of more than a dozen people and just the right performance, where may the Empress Dowager Shangguan come down to move the king to Liu Xu, the king of Guangling?

Of course, Liu Xun also knew that Shangguan An was borrowing his hand to eradicate dissidents! Because of the intimate person and the little padded jacket around the Queen Mother's aunt, it is enough to have him Shangguan An alone!!!

"Yi Di is Ying, Jing Shu is the ...... punishment," Liu Xunnian muttered, "Good means!" "Moving Liu Xu to the king of Changyi, Liu Xun can't find an excuse if he wants to oppose it.

After all, Liu Xu is the only surviving child of Emperor Xiaowu, and even the first emperor is his younger brother, although Liu Xu made his own mistakes and was punished by Emperor Xiaowu, and was even beaten into the cold palace and almost abolished

。

But in the Han family, the world is ruled by filial piety, according to the seniority Liu Xu is Liu Xun's uncle, in the Han clan, the only one who can compete with the queen mother Shangguan in terms of seniority.

Not to mention that Liu Xu was only affected by his mother Zhao Ji, that is, he committed a crime himself, was caught by Tingwei and sent to Liu Xun, with the current universal values and ethics, Liu Xun couldn't touch him at all, and even had to be compassionate and say that I couldn't bear to be the king.

Not to mention that King Guangling himself is a derogatory title.

If the grandson and nephew are not even willing to give their uncle to the king of Changyi, then the world will not be in an uproar when they see it? However, because of this, Liu Xun was annoyed! It made him feel like he was being blackmailed! Imperial power never conceded in the face of any political coercion.

Because once it is conceded, it is the starting point of the collapse of imperial power.

"Check carefully, who are making noise and stirring up!" Liu Xun commanded Huang Xie.

What does Huang Xie's Zhongchang do? That's what I did! For Liu Xun, it doesn't matter if Liu Xu is crowned king or not now, and where he is sealed. The important thing is that those who play tricks behind the scenes and do tricks must be punished severely! It's about the majesty of the Son of Heaven! If these people are not disposed of, then who will be in awe of the imperial power in the future?

Of course, Liu Xu wants to be the king of Changyi? That's impossible! Since ancient times, Chang'an and Liang have been integrated, and Changyi is the vassal state after the Liang State was renamed, and it has an incomparably important position in the Han Dynasty, and it is the last barrier to defend the East, even more so. Although Liu He, the former king of Changyi, was stupid, and he was demoted to the Marquis of Haidun and sent to Hainan Island, he was a victim of politics after all.

Although Liu He has no queen for the time being, and his ministers are basically liquidated by Huo Guang, however, Liu He has a good father and a good grandfather, and there is no need to say that Liu Che, the emperor of filial piety, is still very popular with the scholar class, and even the competitor of Liu Xun's grandfather, Liu Ju, will still restore the country in the future.

But the relationship between King Guangling and the East Palace is not estranged, if Liu Xun is not mistaken, in the history books, in the end, Liu Xu committed suicide for slandering Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but the feudal country was not deposed, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan exerted her strength.

Thinking about this, Liu Xun stuffed the silk book into his arms.

The car drove all the way and arrived at the Yongshou Hall in a short time. At this moment, there are also many people in the Yongshou Palace. Shangguan, Huo, Xu, Shi, Zhang and other relatives have relatively few direct descendants, but there are many side branches! Shangguan Anxiang belonged to the children of the side branch of the Shangguan clan, otherwise Huo Guang would have been killed a long time ago.

In addition, the heirs, wives and concubines brought by King Guangling, as well as Liu Zun and other clan princes and brothers, as well as the princesses of Emperor Xiaowu and the first emperor.

The Yongshou Hall was also full, of course, it was incomparable with the scale of the banquet in the Xuanshu Palace.

In the Yongshou Palace, there are only about three or four hundred people. The Empress Dowager Shangguan likes such a lively scene very much, and seems to enjoy such an atmosphere.

However, the new queen Xu Pingjun was a little uncomfortable, she thought that this year, like last year, she could play casually at this banquet.

However, the reality told her Her Majesty the Queen, please pay attention to the impact, the eunuchs and maids around her performed their duties dutifully, and it took countless efforts to let Xu Pingjun sit in her position, and there was no mistake in looking like it, but this is already the limit.

Fortunately, a moment later, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and then the samurai at the entrance of the hall knelt down on one knee in a row.

"Your Majesty is here!" In the singing of the salute official, Liu Xunlong walked into the Yongshou Palace.

The princes and princesses of the relatives naturally got up one after another, kneeling on both sides of the hall, and in the crowd, Liu Xun even saw Liu Xu kneeling respectfully on one side, which made Liu Xun suddenly have a feeling of time and space disorder.

Such a scene, once upon a time, he also experienced it, but at that time. It was him who knelt, but it was Liu He who sat above the clouds. But Liu Xun only felt nostalgic for a moment, Liu He had been deposed, and now to him, he was just an ant.

Even Liu Xu is just a slightly larger insect, if it weren't for the fear of public opinion, Liu Xun wouldn't bother to care about their life or death, just find a place with horns and bumps to place them.

Pulling his eyes away from Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, Liu Xun knelt down honestly in front of the queen mother in the palace, and bowed: "The emperor greets the imperial grandmother, congratulations, long live the imperial grandmother!" ”

When Shangguan saw Liu Xun, his face became gentle, for Liu Xun, Shangguan really regarded him as his own descendant.

"The emperor is here, get up quickly!" The Empress Dowager Shangguan said with a smile as usual.

It can be seen that the Empress Dowager Shangguan is in a very good mood today. Liu Xun looked at Liu Zun, the king of Zhao who was under the head of the Empress Dowager Dou, some time ago, Liu Zun sent people back to Handan, and brought his wife and son to Chang'an.

However, Liu Xun can only let him continue to rely on this, but he will also return to Handan after the end of the Great Dynasty Meeting, as a prince and king, how can there be a reason to stay in Beijing for a long time and not return?

Moreover, King Zhao stayed by the Empress Dowager Dou's side all the time, and Liu Xun didn't feel very safe no matter how he thought about it. King Zhao and King Guangling may become a terrifying existence like a nuclear bomb at some point!

It's just that if you want to drive Liu Zun back to Handan, this is really not a simple matter, and Liu Xun is not easy to come forward, and even if Liu Wu asks for the country, he has to make a show and keep one or two. This is the filth of politics! Seeing Liu Xun looking at him, Liu Zun hurriedly took his wives and concubines and children to come forward and bowed, "Minister, see you."

Your Majesty! Then he introduced Liu Xun to his queen and children.

I have to say that Liu's reproductive ability is still very strong. Liu Zun alone has four sons and three daughters. The eldest son, Liu Gao, is two years younger than Liu Xun, and he is exactly sixteen this year, and he is also very well developed, and he is a leader among his peers.

But it's a pity that Liu Xun always feels that this cousin seems to have some problems, he is too timid, and he even stumbles when he talks to Liu Xun.

This reminds Liu Xun of his friend Zhang Pengzu, it seems that both of them have the same problem, as for the second son Liu Xu, he is only eleven years old now, and he still has a total pigtail on his head, and he looks quite well-behaved, the third son Liu Pengli and the fourth son Liu He are only six and three years old respectively, and they can't see anything.

Speaking of which, Liu Xun has to admire Liu Zun's reproductive ability, Liu Zun's age is only thirty-one years old so far, and he has given birth to four sons and eight daughters.

Liu Xun remembered that it was recorded in the history books that after Liu Zun's death, he ordered to seal all of Zhao Guo's parts to his twenty sons, and also built a huge palace for underground trysts, and buried a large number of concubines.

It's just that, in the words of later generations, his body is getting thinner and thinner, Liu Zun's character and lust determine that he can't do anything in politics, or even without a little moderation, I'm afraid that Liu Zun will continue his fate in the history books.

Liu Xun looked at it, and his cousin Liu Zun, who was kneeling on the ground, leaned down to help him up and said: "King Zhao, just inherited the throne, he rushed to Chang'an to attend the court meeting!! ”

Hearing the praise of the Son of Heaven, Liu Zun immediately bowed and said: "Minister, swear allegiance to Your Majesty and defend the Han Dynasty for Your Majesty!! ”

Liu Xun pretended to nod approvingly, continued to move forward, and sat next to the Empress Dowager Shangguan, seeing that the Son of Heaven had arrived, the Empress Dowager Shangguan waved her hand to the maids beside her, and immediately went down to arrange, and after a while, the drums sounded in unison, and the family banquet officially began.

In the song and dance of Zhao Guoge, everyone drank heartily, and at this time, the Empress Dowager Shangguan asked: "Emperor, this is the first court meeting since you ascended the throne, how do you feel?" ”

Hearing the Empress Dowager Shangguan's inquiry, Liu Xun replied with a smile: "Thanks to the legacy of the first emperor, the four seas are peaceful, Li Shu lives and works in peace and contentment, and Shinong and industry and commerce occupy their respective positions!" ”

"Your Majesty, have all the county officials arrived in Chang'an this year?" Xu Pingjun suddenly asked.

When Liu Che heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he understood in his heart that it seemed that the Empress Dowager Shangguan and Xu Pingjun had probably negotiated something, and this was probing his tone!

Letting go of the little unpleasantness in his heart, Liu Che showed a smile and replied: "Returning to the emperor's grandmother, the officials of the county and the country of the world are all sent to the county and the state of the accounting book, I ordered the lieutenant and the lieutenant to take care of all the account books, Shang Shutai and Shizhong, and the Prime Minister's Mansion have begun to count at this moment!" ”

"I heard that the first person to deliver the book was Longyou County?" Empress Dowager Shangguan then asked.

Then she sighed with emotion and continued: "The mourning family seems to have heard that this county guard of Longyou County has quite a lot of political achievements, and the people love him!" ”

Liu Xun looked up at Xu Pingjun, then at the Empress Dowager Shangguan, then smiled, and said disapprovingly: "Since this person's reputation has even been heard of by the emperor's grandmother, he must be a capable minister, I think that such a talent should not be put in a place, and he should be transferred to the court to assist me......

Liu Xun thought for a while and said, "The position of Doctor Guanglu has been vacant for several years since Zhang Guangzhishi, with Sun Chen's opinion, is it possible to transfer this person to the court as Doctor Guanglu?" ”

Shangguan's and Xu's relatives exchanged interests, that's for sure.

It is understandable to put one of your own people in the court.

In the past dynasties of the Han Dynasty, except for the late Empress Dowager Bo, the East Palace has basically intervened in the personnel arrangements of the imperial court to a greater or lesser extent.

Although the Empress Dowager Shangguan has soft ears. But not stupid.

Liu Xun has been playing some tricks in private for so long, if you want to say that you haven't heard any news in the East Palace, it is a liar!

Of course, in return for the favor, some small actions of the Shangguan family, Liu Che also pretended to be blind when he saw it.

However, that was based on the fact that Shangguan's relatives would not harm the Liu family's world.

Otherwise, let alone uncles and cousins, it's Huo Guang, Liu Xun can turn his face with him if he is in a hurry.

It's not that the son of heaven of the Liu family has never killed his relatives! In the matter of Longyou County, Liu Xun's heart was as bright as a mirror.

The Shangguan clan has a very good style, but it is limited to the few people in the core of the Shangguan family, and the rest is hehe.

It can only be said that these guys are fighting cocks and lackeys in Chang'an City, don't go out to bully men and women, fall into the hands of Tingwei, and ask Liu Xun to order their release with a shy face, which is already the greatest contribution to the country and society.

As for the county guard of Longyou County, Liu Xun has heard of it.

According to the results of the investigation of the imperial historian, this person's surname is Chen Mingle, who once served as a scribe under Shangguan Cang for a period of time, and was quite appreciated by Shangguan Cang.

However, like most old-fashioned officials, this Chen Le only knows how to pat the sycophants of the Shangguan family, and connived at the children of the Shangguan family in Longyou County to do evil, which made the whole county restless.

Therefore, it is better to find a noble position, raise it, and please the Empress Dowager Shangguan.
