Gongsun Hong became the prime minister, and his ambitions in the past rose to become the prime minister's mansion, but he did not start to investigate the assassination, but single-mindedly rectified the dynasty, rectified the rule of officials, and promoted reform.

A month passed quickly, and without the obstruction of the magnates, Gongsun Hong's work also began to bear fruit.

"Your Majesty, the inclusion of salt, iron, and wine in the official camp has been drafted, please look at the distribution of counties tomorrow." After speaking, Gongsun Hong handed two bundles of bamboo slips to Liu Che's table: "A total of thirty-seven." ”

Liu Che put down the pen in his hand and said to the waiter: "Give me a seat!" ”

The chamberlain quickly brought a chair, and after Gongsun Hong sat down, he said: "Your Majesty, it is good to implement salt, iron, and wine into the official camp in the county and county, and the means can be implemented with some cruelty, but there is greater resistance in the vassal states, and the old minister feels that the current treasury is abundant, and this policy prophet will go down, and the affairs of the vassal states must be solved first." ”

This is what Liu Che said, the vassal states are indeed a headache, they are independent, and they also have soldiers and horses, which is a country within a country, just take the matter of Liu Che launching the siege of Mayi, whether to fight the Xiongnu or not in the hearts of these vassal states does not care at all, as long as they have vested interests, it doesn't matter if the Xiongnu enter the customs.

"Don't mention the matter of cutting the country first, I feel that the Huns should move, in case these vassal states attack me at the juncture of the Huns' southward movement, it will really outweigh the losses." Liu Che said worriedly.

Gongsun Hong actually thought so: "Then the old minister will first re-promulgate the edict of the lord father Yan back then, the strong man must be unified first, so many countries within a country, sooner or later there will be big problems." ”

"Just do what Qing said, and also, in the Tui En Order, I also wrote my promise that starting from my descendants, I will no longer be crowned king." Liu Che spoke without the slightest hesitation.

Gongsun Hong felt Liu Che's bearing, and no longer became the king, Liu Che really set a precedent: "Your Majesty, the Han has you, why don't you worry, the old minister is willing to help Your Majesty complete the great cause of cutting the country with his decaying body." ”

Since Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, how to limit and weaken the growing power of the princes and kings has always been a serious problem faced by the emperor, and the rebellion of the seven kings is a typical event of the expansion of the princes and kings.

After Liu Che ascended the throne, he inherited the "Tui En Order" from his father, and his specific method was to divide the princes and kings into a number of countries, so that the descendants of the princes and kings would share the fiefdom in turn.

However, as soon as the "Tui En Order" was implemented, it found strong opposition from the princes and nobles, and Liu Che had no military power in his hands, so the result was .......

On the issue of the vassal states, Gongsun Hong and Liu Che conducted an in-depth analysis, and it was not until two hours later, when Empress Wei Zifu arrived, that the two ended their discussion.

Gongsun Hong got up and said goodbye: "Your Majesty, the old minister will retreat first." ”

"Prime Minister, it's been a month, has your murderer been caught?" Liu Che is very concerned about this matter.

Gongsun Hong didn't know how to answer after hearing this, because he didn't check it at all, and he didn't have time to check: "Back to Your Majesty, the current internal and external troubles in the imperial court, the old minister has no time to deal with these trivial matters for the time being, and after the Tui En Decree is promulgated, the old minister will slowly liquidate, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

"Is it a trivial matter that everyone else wants your life?" This is the first time Liu Che has seen someone who takes life and death so lightly.

Gongsun Hong sneered after hearing this: "When Your Majesty begins to cut the great cause of strengthening the country and the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that those who want to kill the old minister will have to line up and count. ”

Liu Che was very moved after hearing this, and sighed in his heart that it was a pity for Han Anguo at that time, and his underwear Gongsun Hong's state of mind.

"The old minister retires!" Gongsun Hong withdrew from the main hall.

Wei Zifu helped Liu Che put on his cloak, and then asked the palace maid to bring a bird's nest to replenish his body: "Your Majesty, congratulations on being assisted by a good minister like Gongsun Hong, come, drink it while it's hot." ”

Liu Che was immediately happy when he heard this, took the bird's nest and said, "Do you know whose credit it is?" ”

Wei Zifu shook his head blankly.

"Wei Qing, if Wei Qing hadn't brought me over, I would have thought that the reformers in the court had all gone home." After Liu Che finished speaking, he put down the bird's nest bowl and continued: "I didn't expect Gongsun Hong to be there all along. ”

Wei Zifu frowned, he really couldn't think of how Wei Qing knew Gongsun Hong, and he hadn't heard Wei Qing talk about it.

As soon as Liu Che's bird's nest was drunk, the waiter came to report to Zuo Zhongcheng Zhang Tang to ask for a meeting.

Seeing that someone was coming to Liu Che again, Wei Zifu put away the bowl and stepped aside.

Zhang Tang seemed to hesitate a little after entering the house, and when he saw that Empress Wei Zifu was present, he slowed down again.

"Zhang Tang, what's the matter with me looking for me so late?" Liu Che asked.

Zhang Tang turned his head and glanced at Wei Zifu on the side again.

Wei Zifu understood, and saluted: "Your Majesty, the concubine retires." ”

After Wei Zifu left, Zhang Tang let go of his courage in his heart, and what he wanted to do today was to participate in Wei Qing.

Zhang Tang saw that Wei Zifu was gone, so he took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, which was tied with a red rope, which represented top secret.

"Your Majesty, the minister came late at night and had something important to play." After speaking, he offered bamboo slips with both hands.

The chamberlain presented the bamboo slip to Liu Che in Zhang Tang's hand and ripped the red rope open.

At this moment, Wei Zifu hurriedly walked in again, his face full of horror: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, according to ......"

Prince! Liu Che dropped the bamboo slip and stood up violently and asked, "What's wrong with the prince?" ”

"He rolled down from the depression of the tower and fell!" Wei Zifu said anxiously.

Liu Che glanced at Zhang Tang and said, "Zhang Tang has something to talk about tomorrow!" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhang Tang had no power to return to the sky, so he had to leave.

"Why are you so careless?" Liu Che hugged the six-year-old prince Liu Ju and asked distressedly.

Liu Ju seemed to feel very painful: "I originally wanted to find my father, but I didn't see it when it was dark, so I ......"

Liu Che was very distressed, and held Liu Yi in his arms, and the imperial doctor began to rub medicine on the wound.

Wei Zifu saw that the evidence was fine, so he went to the table to collect the bird's nest bowl just now, and when he took the bowl, Wei Zifu saw Liu Che spread out the bamboo slips that were thrown on the table.

Every word made Wei Zifu feel frightened, and there seemed to be a feeling that a catastrophe was coming, he always observed Liu Che and Liu Ju, and then closed the bamboo slip again with a trembling hand.

When he went down the steps, Wei Zifu felt that his legs were going to be weak.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has a request!" Wei Zifu squatted down and said while helping Liu Ju check the wound.

Liu Che took a deep breath and got up, Liu Zhi was fine: "Son-in-law, let's talk about it." ”

Wei Zifu got up and said with a smile: "Since the birthday of the queen mother, the concubine has never been out of the palace, and the concubine wants to go back to her mother's house, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve it!" ”

"Don't say it, I want to go out for a walk......"
