It didn't take long for Empress Dou's brother Dou Changjun to also find Chang'an, and the three brothers and sisters were finally reunited.

The drama of the queen's recognition of relatives reached the ears of a group of old ministers, these old foxes are used to seeing life and death, how can they be moved, they are worried, worried about the recurrence of the tragedy of the dictatorship of their relatives. A few old foxes summed up, took precautions, and took advantage of the fact that the Dou family brothers had just arrived, and sent someone to teach them well.

Guan Ying came forward to find the brothers and offered to give away a mansion. The queen was very happy, and the Dou brothers were also grateful. The focus is not on the house. This house is surrounded by people who are known for their virtues.

According to the instructions of the ministers, the elderly of these families went to the Dou Mansion to educate and educate the brothers. When people get older, they are inevitably lonely, they have read all the world, tasted the ups and downs, and are willing to share some life experiences with the young people around them.

Often approached by people to teach a lesson, the two brothers of the Dou family are very honest and have grown into humble gentlemen, and they are very well received by people, especially ministers.

The ministers were proud. They all ignored the role of Empress Dou. Although Queen Dou was born poor, she was smart and clever. After becoming the concubine of the acting king, Empress Dou worked hard to learn cultural knowledge, and she was especially partial to the Huang Lao doctrine. Since her brother and younger brother came to Chang'an, Queen Dou has not been short of orders and disciplined and taught the brothers.

In the coming decades, Empress Dou will also play an important role, even influencing the direction of the Han Dynasty. Now is not the time for her to walk to the front desk.

Our protagonist Liu Heng can't wait to create his own era!

There is a magistrate who wants to pat the new emperor's fart, and he travels thousands of miles to offer a thousand miles of horse. Liu Heng didn't accept it, and specially sent an edict: The people's lives are not rich, I don't want to increase their burden, and in the future, all the princes in various places will not offer more treasures, and I will not accept them.

Advocating simplicity and restraining material desires. This concept ran through Liu Heng's imperial career.

Liu Heng is self-aware, he has never been a prince, he has not received training as an emperor, and he has just ascended to the throne, which can be said to be a black eye. While relying on Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and several other old ministers, he worked hard to study business knowledge and adapt to his new position as soon as possible.

It didn't take long for Liu Heng to become familiar with national events.

One day, when he went to court, he asked Zhou Bo, the right prime minister: "How many cases are adjudicated in the country every year?" ”

Zhou Bo shook his head and replied honestly: "I don't know." ”

Liu Heng asked again: "What is the annual income and expenditure of the country's money and grain?" ”

Zhou Bo sweated on his forehead, and said hesitantly: "I don't know." ”

Liu Heng's face became a little ugly. Zhou Bo saw it in his eyes, and he was ashamed to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Liu Heng turned his head and asked Chen Ping, the prime minister of Zuo.

Chen Ping replied with a big grin: "There are people who are specifically responsible. ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Heng immediately asked, "Who is in charge?" ”

The emperor is not easy to fool!

Chen Ping was confident, "If Your Majesty asks about the judgment of the case, you will ask Tingwei; If you ask about money and food, you will ask about the internal history of Su. ”

Liu Heng nodded, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "If there is someone in charge of all affairs, what are you prime ministers responsible for?" ”

That's a great thing! Don't think about just getting a salary and not working, and the court doesn't support idlers.

Liu Heng looked warm and gentle, and his words were always to the point.

Chen Ping knew a little more about the new emperor. He lowered his posture and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty does not dislike my low intelligence, let me be the prime minister." The so-called prime minister, who assists the Son of Heaven, regulates yin and yang, and conforms to the four seasons; Nourish all things and grow at the right time; externally pacify the four Yi and the princes; Internally, we should cherish the people so that the officials in charge can perform their duties competently. ”

The prime minister, known as the head of a hundred bureaucrats, does not need to stick to specific affairs.

Chen Ping's answer was wonderful, so wonderful!

Liu Heng praised repeatedly. The business assessment of the two prime ministers has passed.

Zhou Bo was embarrassed, he didn't know what to ask, Chen Ping talked eloquently, and stared at him dryly.

Walking out of the main hall, Zhou Bo lowered his face and complained to Chen Ping, "Why don't you teach me usually!" ”

Chen Ping said with a smile: "As a prime minister, you don't know your responsibilities, how can I teach you?" If Your Majesty asks how many thieves and robbers there are in Chang'an City, do you want to reluctantly answer? ”

Zhou Bo, who was blocked by a few words, lost his temper.

Zhou Bo finally realized that his talent was far inferior to Chen Ping. This guy gave me the position of the right prime minister at the beginning, so he didn't have any kindness and dug a pit for me!

A few days later, Zhou Bo complained of illness and asked the emperor to remove him from his position as prime minister. Liu Heng agreed, and by the way, abolished the setting of the left and right prime ministers. Chen Ping became the only prime minister of the Han Dynasty!
