Chapter 189: The Son of Heaven Shall Not Ascend

As soon as Liu Hong came to court, Empress Dowager Dong was impatient to find him.

"Emperor, why did Liu Fan appear in the court today?" As soon as they met, Empress Dowager Dong asked Liu Hong.

Hearing that Liu Fan went to the court today, she immediately rushed from Yongle Palace.

"Fu's mother was fascinated for a while and committed a capital crime. Please mourn the queen mother, I am also saddened. Liu Hong changed the topic with a heartbroken look.

"What is Mrs. Cheng's crime? Selling officials? The Four Gardens sold the official office, which was set up by me to persuade you, why don't you let Liu Fan kill me too. Seeing Liu Hong's prevarication, Empress Dowager Dong was furious.

Because Liu Hong didn't listen to her wishes for the first time.

"The queen mother is angry, Mrs. Cheng has committed a crime, not only selling officials. The queen mother go back and rest, the country has its own laws, and I have my own conclusion. Liu Hong frowned, he felt that his mother's words were a little extreme.

"Liu Fan can't die well." Empress Dowager Dong left angrily.

At this moment, a woman with a skin as white as snow and a beautiful appearance led a nine-year-old boy towards this side.

This is Queen He, the sister of the general He Jin. Deeply favored by Liu Hong. The child is Liu Hong's eldest son, the prince Liu Bian.

"Meet the Queen Mother."

"Meet the Imperial Grandmother."

Empress He and Liu Wei greeted the Empress Dowager Dong, but the angry Empress Dowager Dong did not appreciate it and left with a cold snort.

Everyone in the palace knew that Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He did not deal with each other.

The reason is related to him, Empress He has a son and a prince, and Empress Dowager Dong raises the prince. Liu Hong does not like his eldest son Liu Wei and prefers his second son Liu Xie. If it weren't for Liu Wei as the eldest son, Liu Cheng would have been made the crown prince.

"The concubine greets Your Majesty."

"The son visits his father."

Empress He and Liu Wei bowed to Liu Hong again.

"What's the matter with you?" The upset Liu Hong responded as he pleased.

"The concubine and the concubine haven't seen their mother for a long time, and they want to go out of the palace to meet their mother and brother, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." Empress He Liu Hong pleaded.

"Accurate!" Liu Hong agreed without thinking about it.

……

For several days, he posted a post and ordered the state and county. It is necessary to post the decree to the county and township pavilions, and draw up a plan to start implementing it from the inside out.

However, the decree was vigorously blocked by the eunuchs, and progress was slow.

Speaking of the Sili area alone, the heads of those counties did not put out the list of changes and kept the people in the dark. Not to mention states and counties outside of Sizhou.

The common people did not know the decree to change the law, and the "tuntian system", "one whip law", and "imperial examination system" could not be implemented at all.

Hedong County, Anyi.

Hedong Taishou Wangyi encountered a very difficult problem and went to Cai Yong's mansion to discuss.

"Brother Bo, the hussar general launched a change in the law, and the decree was transmitted to the county government, this decree is really perfect, and the hussar general is worthy of being a peerless talent. Look, brother! Wang Yi took out an edict from his bosom and handed it to Cai Yong.

Creation makes people, a year ago Liu Fan was still an ordinary marquis. Half a year ago, Liu Fan led his troops out of Hedong, and in a blink of an eye, he became an existence that they looked up to.

Living in one place, you can hear Liu Fan's rumors from time to time. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and they are embarrassed.

Cai Yong opened the book and looked at it carefully. The more I watched, the more frightened I became, and the more I watched, the more excited I became.

This is for the people to live in peace and find a way for the poor scholars! Cai Yong is also from a poor family, and he knows how difficult it is for a poor family to stand in the court.

"Then why don't you hurry up and let the penman copy it and post it in the township. What are you looking for me to do? Cai Yong questioned.

"As the Taishou of Hedong, I am not the first to receive this news, the Hedong Shi clan led by the Jia family, the Pei family, the Liu family, and the Xue family are very dissatisfied with this, and threaten to write to the imperial court. The list has been copied yesterday, and I have ordered it, but until today, I have not posted a single one. Changshi and Juncheng are both from the scholar family, and they have the same heart as me. Wang Yi sighed.

Hedong is a large county close to Luoyang, and the atmosphere of the scholar clan is very strong, and most of the officials are from the scholar clan. The decree that changed the law directly infringed on their interests.

Wang Yi advocates literature, not martial arts. Therefore, he can't control the military and political power of a county in this troubled world.

His officials are not afraid of him, and they will naturally disobey him.

"This is just an edict, and even this cannot be told to the people of Hedong, so when the decree is handed down, it will be difficult for you to move an inch! Why don't you personally bring your cronies to post a post in the city, and send cavalry to spread it to the village. Cai Yong suggested to Wang Yi.

"That's all there is to it." Wang Yi nodded.

……

Liu Fan will believe his words and deeds when he encounters things, and he will not give up halfway.

Faced with this dilemma, Liu Fan gathered his henchmen and staff to discuss countermeasures.

"General, if the eunuch forces dare to be so arrogant, there must be someone to support them. His Majesty supports the change of the law and will not condone the eunuchs like this, and the one who supports the eunuchs is the Empress Dowager Dong. The sheep continued.

Liu Fan had a holiday with the Empress Dowager Dong, and the Empress Dowager Dong was not so easy to give up.

"The Ten Standing Attendants put their fathers, brothers, children, relatives, and guests in various states and counties, monopolized financial interests, and plundered the people, and the people's grievances had nowhere to appeal, so there would be rebellions and thieves who fell into the grass. The ten permanent servants should be killed, and their heads should be hung in the southern suburbs, so as to completely deter Xiaoxiao, and also thank the people. Zhang Jun said with a heartfelt voice.

Liu Fan thought that Zhang Jun was a madman, because when he was dealing with the book, he often saw Zhang Jun writing to ask the Son of Heaven to kill the Ten Standing Servants.

Zhang Jun dared to die desperately, and his courage was commendable. But it's too difficult to kill the Ten Constant Attendants.

"I want to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, Gongda has a clever plan." Liu Fan asked Xun You. Jia Xu is not here, Xun You is his brainchild.

"The general is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and the general can persuade His Majesty to climb the heights and take a look." Xun You replied to Liu Fan, meaning something.

Liu Fan was silent for a while, and he had a clear understanding.

Xun You is worthy of being a person who can be passed on with Jia Xu and Xun Yu, and his name is well deserved.

The gentleman hides his weapons and waits for the time to move. It's said that it's Xun You's kind of people.

Without further ado, Liu Fan immediately entered the palace and met Liu Hong.

"Marquis Jiang, the general of the hussars, Liu Fan, the secretary of the book, meet Your Majesty." As soon as Liu Fan arrived at the imperial desk, the master of ceremonies shouted at the door.

"Meet Your Majesty." Liu Fan saluted Liu Hong.

Liu Hong was reviewing the recital, and Zhang Rang was waiting on the side.

It's just right, this time it doesn't kill you, it also makes you lose your skin. Liu Fan said secretly in his heart.

"Brother Huang, what are you looking for?" Liu Hong asked.

"Your Majesty, if you want to know how the people of Luoyang City live? Climb up and see, and you will know. Liu Fan opened his mouth and said to Liu Hong.

"The Son of Heaven shall not ascend to the heights, or he will suffer great calamity." Before Liu Hong could speak, Zhang Rang anxiously persuaded him. The mind is in turmoil.

He often said this sentence to Liu Hong, so as to fool Liu Hong, just because he was afraid that one day the Son of Heaven would discover his secret.

Liu Hong trusted Zhang Rang very much, so he never stood at the highest point of the palace and watched Luoyang City.

"Falsehood, the Son of Heaven is the Ninety-Five Supreme, when he is above the top of the world and overlooks all living beings." Liu Fan denied Zhang Rang's words and said with a straight face.
