Chapter 89: Ambition and Hegemony
Soon, it was time for Liu Che to report on the various reforms he had arranged.
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on the Weiyang palace complex, and there was a feeling of reviving the earth.
The civil and military officials were already waiting for the order outside, and Wei Zifu personally changed Liu Che's clothes.
Liu Che looked very happy, he had finished all the seeds, and now he was waiting for the harvest.
Since ascending the throne, this is the first time that Liu Che has let go of his courage to use a knife in the imperial court with such a big hand.
After putting on the dragon robe, Liu Che suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Why is Your Majesty sighing?" Wei Zifu asked.
Liu Che suddenly frowned and said: "With so many reforms, I really don't know how much they have implemented?" ”
Wei Zifu understands that there are few people in the Manchu Dynasty who can promote Liu Che's intentions, and when he vigorously launched the reform of the strong man, if he didn't promote it effectively, Liu Che's face really didn't know how to put it, just like when he was ambitious to launch the siege of Mayi, but he was completely defeated.
"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks you should summon the Sanfu alone." Wei Zifu's advice was very attentive.
Liu Che turned his head to look at Wei Zifu violently, his face was full of joy: "Yes, summon me alone." After speaking, he said to Yu Linwei at the door: "Decree, today's court meeting has been changed, let Sanfu go to Jianzhang Palace, and bring relevant materials and personnel." ”
"No!"
……
Jianzhang Palace is the place where Liu Che plans for the future, and he spent most of the time after ascending the throne in Jianzhang Palace.
Prime Minister Xue Ze, Imperial Historian Han Anguo, and General Wei Qing of the Che Cavalry attended the meeting.
And there was an important change in this meeting, Liu Che did not let Taiwei Hongping participate.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Che asked the guards to bring three chairs and give them to the three of them.
After looking at the bamboo slips sent by various prefectures for a while, Liu Che's face began to change, and the first one stared at Han Anguo and asked, "Han Anguo, as a doctor of imperial history, I don't listen to any cases now, understand?" ”
Han Anguo got up and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister, the old minister has been handling cases these days, the incense building is committed in detail, and the military purge case is carried out, so the old ministers ...... the establishment of assassination history in various places."
"Just tell me, what is the coverage now?" Liu Che made a loud noise.
Liu Che had only one reform item in supervising the law, that is, setting up assassin histories in various localities to supervise local tyrants and officials, which was a matter of strengthening the rule and benefiting all the benefits.
So this matter is much heavier than those cases handled by Han Anguo.
Han Anguo pondered for a moment and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister will divide the country into thirteen supervision areas, the Chang'an Thorn History is called Si Lixiao Wei, and the other twelve states are called Thorn History, and there are currently nine Thorn History. ”
"What about the others?" Liu Che asked.
Han Anguo swallowed his saliva, his palms began to sweat, the establishment of the assassin history seriously damaged the interests of the local government, it was equivalent to the imperial court planting a pair of eyes in the counties, the local area was very disgusted, and under his own large amount of work, he established nine assassination history departments, but they were just hanging a card.
"The minister plans to personally go to the counties and counties to supervise this matter early next month, and strive to achieve full coverage in the spring of next year." Hanan National Road.
After hearing this, Liu Che nodded very seriously and said: "You remember, for you, the cases are secondary, you have to plan for the long term, it is imperative to set up an assassination history, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the local power has not been under the supervision of the imperial court, this time, you Han Anguo must create a new situation with the courage of a strong man to break his wrist!" ”
These words doubled the pressure on Han Anguo, how difficult it is to set up a history of assassination in the whole country, and how difficult it is to carry out normal work after the establishment.
"Obey the order!" Han Anguo bowed his hand and sat down in his position again.
Han Anguo's reform Liu Che was relatively satisfied, it was already good to cover half of it in such a short time, he knew the difficulty of this matter, this was the struggle between the imperial court and the local government.
"Wei Qing, what about you?" Liu Che has the highest expectations for Wei Qing.
Wei Qing got up and took the bamboo slip from Ruoyao's hand behind him and stepped forward to reply: "Your Majesty, the two main army corps formed by the minister have been formed, and they are now training in Xishan. ”
"If the Huns go south tomorrow, can they fight!" Liu Che asked solemnly.
Wei Qing replied firmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the Tiger Ben Army and the Forward Battalion of the Yulin Army can fight at any time, and the first battle will be won!" ”
"Good!" Liu Che was so excited that he slapped the table, Wei Qing never let him down, and in the same few months, he learned the lessons of the Battle of Dragon City to complete the formation of a new type of cavalry.
Liu Che said happily: "The Tiger Ben Army must become a sharp knife for my Han to gallop north and south, I want to use him to pacify the world, and the Yulin Army must become an army loyal to the imperial court and cultivating military talents. ”
Wei Qing understood the gist of it, the Yulin Army is known as the emperor's feathers, it is an army loyal to the emperor, and all important positions in the army in the future must be filled by people with Yulin Army experience, which is nothing more than thinking that all armies must be the imperial court, I have to say that Liu Che's series of ways to strengthen the power of the central government is far-reaching.
"Obey the order!" Wei Qing stepped back.
Liu Che was indeed satisfied with the progress of the reform of the military and supervision criminal laws, so he looked at the old prime minister Xue Ze with great interest: "Prime minister, how is your reform progressing?" ”
Xue Ze was weak-hearted, and none of his reforms were promoted, so he got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister, the old minister has a negative grace." Xue Ze slowly knelt on the ground, full of grievances.
Liu Che's face suddenly drooped: "What do you mean?" ”
Prime Minister Xue Ze was responsible for two reforms, one was to bring all the private salt, iron, and wine operations into the government, curb the power of wealthy businessmen, and increase the national treasury; The second is to abolish the coins of the vassal states and mint five baht coins across the country.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is difficult to promote several reforms on the shoulders of the minister, after all, these are all competing with others for interests." Xue Ze explained.
Liu Che hates this kind of person who speaks and procrastinates: "You tell me directly, the current progress!" ”
Xue Ze shook his shoulders, and then arched his hand: "Salt, iron, and wine are included in the official business, and the counties are stepping up their implementation, but, but the matter of unifying the coins of the princely states, the ministers, the ministers are really powerless to advance." ”
When Liu Che heard this, he was immediately furious, twisted the bamboo slip on the table and fell to the ground, so frightened that everyone lowered their heads.
"Won't a single vassal state respond?" Liu Che asked angrily.
“……”
Everyone was helpless, Xue Ze represented the court and merchants to make profits and fight against the vassal states; Han Anguo represented the imperial court in the struggle against local power; On behalf of the imperial court, Wei Qing fought against the Xiongnu and other internal and external hostile forces.
Each of them has a very heavy burden on their shoulders.
