Gongsun Hong, the prime minister, is indeed more powerful than the previous Xue Ze, at least in Liu Che's opinion, he is a rare talent, but he was just as unlucky as Li Guang when he was young.

When Gongsun Hong came to power, the problem that he cared about and most urgently needed to assist Liu Che to solve was also a problem of the vassal states, so after finding out that Yang Dongwen, the imperial historian, was a ghost in the court, Gongsun Hong couldn't be careless at all.

"It's been half a year, and only one Yu Shi Cheng has been found?" Liu Che didn't have the slightest pajamas, and the fact that the Huns had gone south in the past few days also made him anxious, and he stood in front of the map with Li Xi, Song Yujun and others to study and fight.

Several generals saw that Liu Che was going to discuss confidential matters with the prime minister, so they left one after another.

Gongsun Hongmu sent several generals away and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, they are very meticulous, they are all one-line contacts, if Ruoyao hadn't tied up Liu Bin today, I wouldn't have known that they would still need to be numbered when they met." ”

Liu Che's eyes were closed after hearing this, and the bird's nest on the table was hot for a while, he was now not afraid of the vassal states, nor was he afraid of any Huns, and he was most afraid of internal ghosts colluding with foreign thieves: "Prime Minister, I got Li Guang's enemy situation just now, the situation is critical, this is the first major crisis I have encountered since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and I arrested Liu Bin if I couldn't do it." ”

"No!" Gongsun Hong blurted out, at this time, you must not fall out directly with the vassal states: "Your Majesty, it took three months for Zhou Yafu to calm down the rebellion of the Seven Kings during the first emperor's period, and it took three years for the country to recover, and at that time, there was no pressure from the Xiongnu to move south, if it falls out now, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Liu Che was furious when he heard this, picked up the bird's nest on the table and slammed it on the ground, and said loudly: "Then let them threaten Chang'an with such nonsense?" I have twice abolished the Grace Decree, which is a disgrace. ”

Gongsun Hong can understand Liu Che's feelings, the Son of Heaven bowing his head to the vassal states is indeed enough to choke, but it is not miserable enough: "Your Majesty, you must endure it, don't you just push the grace order to be abolished?" Thinking about the mistake of the imperial historian back then, it has been ......"

Gongsun Hong's words made Liu Che's heart calm a lot, where did the reform of the strong man come from, and it is necessary to endure and die.

Chao Cuo was an important minister during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, a doctor of imperial history, and a third duke.

In the second year of Emperor Jing, Chao Cuo stated the sins of the princes to Emperor Jing, asked to reduce the fiefdom, take back the side counties, and proposed to cut the domain, which is the "Cutting Strategy" that is more ruthless than the "Tui En Order" in history.

Emperor Jing ordered the ministers, liehous, and the royal family to gather to discuss, because Emperor Jing favored Chao Cuo, no one dared to publicly oppose it, only Dou Ying disagreed, and since then he has formed a grudge with Chao Cuo.

Finally, Emperor Jing's edict: cut down the Changshan County of King Zhao, the six counties of King Jiaoxi, the Donghai County and Xue County of King Chu, and the Yuzhang County and Huiji County of King Wu. Thirty articles of the decree were changed by mistake. The princes were in an uproar, and they all strongly opposed and hated Chao Cuo.

Chao Cuo forcibly cut the feudal domain, taking a great risk. Chao Wrong's father's persuasion was ineffective, and he committed suicide by taking poison.

More than ten days after Emperor Jing issued the order to cut the feudal domain, Wu Chu and other seven kingdoms rebelled in the name of punishing Chao wrong, which was the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu. In the end, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, in the face of pressure from all sides, decided to sacrifice Chao Cuo in exchange for the princes to withdraw their troops. So he named Yuan Ang as too often, and asked him to secretly rectify his outfit and send an envoy to Wu to kill Dr. Shi in exchange for retiring from the army.

More than ten days after Yuan Ang's advice, Prime Minister Tao Qing, Lieutenant Chen Jia, and Ting Lieutenant Zhang Ou jointly wrote a letter to impeach Chao Cuo, proposing that Chao Cuo be beheaded all over the house. Emperor Jing approved this movement, and Chao Cuo did not know about it at this time. So Emperor Jing sent a lieutenant to Chao Cuo's house and issued an edict to deceive Chao Cuo into going to the court to discuss matters. The carriage and horse passed through Chang'an East City, and the lieutenant stopped, read the edict to Chao Cuo, and cut Chao Cuo, who was still wearing court clothes at that time. After Chao Cuo's death, he did not let the vassal states retreat, but accelerated the pace of attacking Chang'an.

And Chao Cuo paid not only his own life, but also the entire family of more than 300 people were all killed, even the three-year-old child did not let go, it can be said that the lesson is profound, so Gongsun Hong must be measured in this matter, otherwise he will fall into the passivity of the court and put himself in danger.

Liu Che knew this mistake, and he was ashamed of the wrong family, and he had no choice but to continue to endure and endure the small actions of these vassal states, he took a deep breath and looked at a large pile of Northern Xinjiang war reports on the table, and decided to go outside first and then settle inside.

"Then ignore these vassal states first, and then investigate, we must investigate in-depth and dig out all the ghosts in the court." After Liu Che finished speaking, he stood up and said as he walked: "Back then, the vassal states forced the first emperor to kill Chao Cuo, so let these inner ghosts come to pay tribute to Chao Cuo, no matter who is found, in the same way, all over the house, I want to see who has such courage." ”

"No." Gongsun Hong replied with an old voice.

Liu Che was really tired, the wolf smoke in the northern Xinjiang rose again, he was waiting for someone, so he waved his hand and said: "You go, you must stabilize the court before the Hun and Han wars, and in addition, send someone to urge Wei Qing to see where he goes." ”

"No." Gongsun Hong seemed to have left the hall unfinished.

After Gongsun Hong left, Liu Che's eyes were closed, he suddenly felt that his whole mind was not enough, the current situation was more severe than the Seven Kings Rebellion during the Jingdi period, the Seven Kings Rebellion period was the period of peace between the Han and the Xiongnu, and the pressure of external troubles was not great, but now it is the period of declaring war, once the vassal states and foreign enemies form a collusion, they will undoubtedly be defeated.

After Gongsun Hong left the Jianzhang Palace, he went straight to the Tingwei Mansion, and he also wanted to get some information from Yang Dongwen, the imperial historian.

What disappointed Gongsun Hong was that after going through the thirty-six torture instruments of the Tingwei Mansion, Yang Dongwen only explained how he colluded with the King of Jiangdu, as for whether there were other people in the court, he either said something that could not stand up to scrutiny, or he didn't know, which was also expected by Gongsun Hong, one-line contact, and the intelligence officers did not know each other.

"Master Zhang, just kill me, please." Yang Dongwen's hands were tied to the pillar, his body was bruised, and several fingers were broken, he couldn't stand such torture anymore, and he just wanted to die.

Faced with this situation of entering a dead end, Ruoyao didn't know what to do.

However, Gongsun Hong touched his beard and said calmly: "Hehe, Yang Dongwen, I'm afraid it's not enough for you to die, Your Majesty just issued the imperial decree, full, door, copy, behead!" ”

"No, Prime Minister, Prime Minister, I really don't know anything, every meeting is arranged by Liu Xijun and Liu Bin, my lord, let my family go, let them go back to their hometown, woo woo." Yang Dongwen couldn't cry.

In ancient times, the most brutal and inhumane way to die was to be beheaded all over the house, and the most domineering way to die was also to be beheaded all over the house.

It is a matter of life and death for the Han Dynasty, and Gongsun Hong doesn't want to do this, but Liu Che has already made an order, so he said to Zhang Ou: "Lord Zhang, keep him first, and don't let him die for the time being." ”

Zhang Ou was also very angry, nothing could be tried in such an interrogation, this was Zhang Ou's incompetence, so he said to the court lieutenant on the side: "Go, immediately take someone to raid Yu Shicheng's mansion, old and young, big and small, no one is left." ”

Ting Wei arched his hand and said, "No! ”

Yang Dongwen almost collapsed after hearing this, and scolded loudly: "Liu Che, you are not a person, and I, Yang Dongwen, will not let you go as a ghost." ”

"Stop screaming." Gongsun Hong looked at Yang Dongwen and said, "Do you remember the mistakes of the first emperor? ”

Yang Dongwen had nothing to say......
