Chapter 18 The King of Bohai is involved in rebellion
Hundreds of officials discuss politics, the court is still the same as in the past, and after briefly talking about politics, it will enter today's theme, post-disaster reconstruction.
As soon as Emperor Liu Hong's words fell, several people took steps to start, but Liu Hong then looked at Fu Wan and said, "What kind of start does Fu Qing have?" β
After the words were spoken, the other people who had already received the news were not given a chance at all. I saw Fu Wan said: "The great water in Beijing, the people are in trouble, Your Majesty is sad, and the ministers are also sad, but the people of the money valley given by the imperial court are difficult to maintain, and after thinking about it, I implore Your Majesty to build the river and save the people by the method of disaster relief through work." β
Liu Hong smiled in his eyes, and took the opportunity to continue: "What Qing said is very true, but the treasury is empty, and the previous rewards have been difficult, and there is no money left. β
At this time, Fu Wan shouted loudly: "The minister is willing to give millions of money to help the court for disaster relief." β
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked, and those who knew the inside story in advance also changed their faces, and they never thought that this honest man would play such a hand after he finished the ambush.
"Good, good, good...... is really worthy of being a loyal minister of the Han family. Liu Hong praised repeatedly, and everyone in the court felt cold for a while, thinking of the rumors in the market, they had realized something.
Sure enough, as the eunuchs and the lieutenants of Sili also suddenly volunteered to donate money, although the donations were not finished, they were not a small number, and the princes of Gongon, who claimed to be gentlemen, also stepped forward to donate one by one.
Nonsense, they have been shouting that the eunuchs have no way and cause trouble to the court, if the eunuchs donate money to the victims at this time, don't they slap themselves in the face if they don't donate? Understand that people figured out that they had won the emperor's plan, gritted their teeth and donated millions, but they didn't understand that people were also confused and almost the same as those who donated after the ambush, only those who were poor in the family donated less, but after all, they were a minority.
This time alone, Liu Hong made a lot of money, earning hundreds of millions of dollars a day, he really smiled, and couldn't help but love Fuquan who proposed this strategy even more.
One million copper coins is really a big amount for ordinary farmers in the Han Dynasty, many people do not count expenses in a year, and their income is only a few hundred yuan, even if they buy a high-class handsome and beautiful maid, it is only tens of thousands of dollars.
However, it is really nothing to the princes of Gon Gong, who were born in wealthy families in the court, but even so, under the leadership of Fu Wan, they also donated.
Of course, except for the officials who are themselves in the court, most of them donate more than several times more than the ones they donated. After all, just like everyone in the future generations will have to save face, and he will donate millions of dollars to an idler in the court, so can the other senior officials in charge of the center donate less?
Otherwise, is it really like the rumors in the past two days, the emperor persuaded the princes of the Manchu Dynasty to donate money for disaster relief, and everyone refused to donate for disaster relief? Wouldn't that kill them alive and clear their name for the rest of their lives?
Speaking of this, Fu Quan was also very interesting, he knew very well that the rumors that the courtiers did not donate money were really not from him and his uncle, and only the eunuchs and the emperor knew about their plans.
The eunuch passed on?
No, after all, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s of the eunuchs' families in the court, not to mention that they are also staring at the land of the victims, how can they easily spread this word?
In this way, the only one who can do this is the little emperor Liu Hong, who has not been in power for a long time, for a moment, Fu Quan felt that he was thinking wrong, he could control the court like this, although the technology has not yet been perfected, but is this consistent with the spirit emperor Liu Hong who was played by the eunuch woman in the history books?
Later, he was relieved to think about it, the history books were written by the victors, and the reason why Emperor Ling had this evil slander was only because one of his dynasties succeeded Emperor Huan, and constantly suppressed the group of scholars who increasingly demanded rights, and finally after his death, the lord and young ministers were in power, resulting in the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
If he could live a little longer, it is estimated that the Eastern Han Dynasty would not have perished, and if he was really as bad as the history books say, careerists would have been able to destroy the Han Dynasty when he was in power.
But after thinking about it, even if the princes of the court realized it later, they already hated their uncle, after all, because he wanted to be close to the emperor, he caused everyone to lose a lot of money, can't he be hated?
The meat eaters of all dynasties and dynasties would not easily cut meat to others, not to mention that under the influence of Confucianism, scholars did not think that they should donate money, but that the emperor should pay from the treasury.
After returning to the house after the carriage, everyone in the house was happy, after all, after the court meeting, the imperial court issued a clear decree, and the head of his family, Lang Jun, should celebrate when he won the emperor's favor.
Fu Quan got the news and went out of the house to welcome him, but after getting off the horse, his face lost the glory he had when he went out earlier, and he looked sad. Fu Quan was stunned when he saw this, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to the upper court?" β
"After the disaster relief of the court meeting, the lieutenant of Sili played a game, and it was rumored that the eunuchs Zheng Sa and Dong Teng had an affair with Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, and conspired to establish Kui as the emperor, please order Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."
"Your Majesty believes it?"
"At first, I didn't believe it, but the relatives of the eunuchs in the DPRK and China said that this matter was not groundless, and His Majesty investigated it thoroughly, and then Yuan Kui, the great Honglu, suddenly said, the folk rumors are not false, and I implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly, and the ministers seconded it, and Your Majesty then ordered Li Shao, the assassin of Jizhou, to take the King of Bohai for verification, and ordered Duan Cheng to collect Zheng Sa and Dong Teng to be sent to Beisi Prison for a thorough investigation."
"Why Duan Cheng? Ting Wei can't? β
"It was supposed to be investigated by Tingwei, but Wang Fu and Yuan Kui, who are often servants, both said that Duan Cheng arrested Taixue and made trouble last time, showing his talents, and should be the best candidate for this matter, so he jointly proposed Duan Cheng."
After hearing this, Fu Quan said angrily: "Wang Fu's thief is really hateful, the Yuan family is famous in vain, and he is in the same stream as Wang Fu. β
"Yuan Yu, the regular servant, was originally a member of the Yuan clan, and the two parties must have already negotiated this matter. It's just that my uncle must have been hated by Wang Fu this time, and I am afraid it will be difficult to be good if he wants to be exempted. "Uncle refers to Liu Kui, the Han Dynasty people call the father-in-law and mother-in-law Wei uncle and aunt, Liu Kui is Liu Hua's father Emperor Huan's brother, and he should be called his uncle.
"My lord needs to think of some way, Duan Cheng and his people will take refuge in Wang Fu, they will definitely be wholeheartedly, if Uncle Zeng, Zheng and Dong are imprisoned, I am afraid that they will be beaten into tricks, and it will be too late to regret it."
Fu Wan nodded and said, "Where is Aunt Ru, this matter still needs to be discussed with her." β
Negotiate?
After hearing this, Fu Quan secretly scolded Fu Wan for being really elm's head, and he didn't know how to act when his eyebrows were burned. Judging by his words, in addition to donating money this morning, when the other Wang Fu and his party falsely accused Liu Kui, they were like invisible people and did not stop it, it seems that he really does not know about the struggle between the DPRK and China, doesn't he know that once Liu Kui's plot against the case is implemented, the Hou family will also be implicated by this generation?
On the contrary, if Fu Wan argues in the court and does not let Duan Cheng be tried, the emperor may change the court captain because of his achievements today.
However, now that the matter has come to this, what else can Fuquan say? The two went back to the house and waited for Liu Hua, but they didn't know where Liu Hua went today, and they didn't return to the house after the end of the court.
After the two had a meal, Liu Hua hurriedly returned home, but when he returned, there were already more people around him, but he looked like a middle-aged man in his twenties and thirties, with a short beard, sharp eyes, and great wisdom.
After entering the front hall, before he could talk to him about today's affairs, Liu Hua stopped him, saying that he already knew about the court meeting, and then introduced the person, saying: "This is Han Jing, a confidant of Uncle Bohai Wang, and this secret is for Wang Fu's framing." After doing it for a long time, Liu Hua went to pick up people.

After checking for a long time, it was difficult to find the Jizhou assassin who detained Liu Kui at that time, and there were several people found during this time period:
"The Ancient Sili School Wei Wei Ode to Yang Jun" and "Huayang Guozhi School Supplementary Illustration Note: Yang Ji Biography" recorded that Yang Bi, the assassin of Jizhou, Yang Bi's brother Yang Huai and Chen Fan and others were together, Yang Bi's activity time should be after the Yanxi period, and he was a member of the party.
Yang Zhi, the ancestor of the "world's bitter sheep heir", was also dismissed from office for many years due to the disaster of the party, and was reinstated as the assassin of Jizhou, which was mentioned in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.
"The Biography of Dong Zhao in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" records that there is a former Jizhou assassin Li Shao.
The history of the Jizhou assassination of Liu Kui should be between these three people, and it may also be a reporter who has leaked historical data. The genealogy of the Wu clan contains a person named Wu Jie, who served as the assassin of Jizhou during the Eastern Han Dynasty. For the sake of the story, he took Li Shao, because Yang Bi may have been reappointed to other official positions, and Yang Zhi said that he was Henan Yin at this time, and after thinking about it, it should be impossible for these two people to be the assassin of Jizhou at this time, Wu Jie was not familiar with it, and he didn't dare to be sure of him, so he took Li Shao.
Finally, to make it clear, this book is not about the Black Yuan family or anything, because the author thinks that as a top gate valve that suddenly rose, the development process is too weird, and there is too little mention in history. And in the history books, Liu Kui was deposed after conspiring against the Song Dynasty, and there was no mention of the Yuan family who relied on Yuan Yu to communicate with the emperor at that time, which is very unreasonable, after all, Wang Fu, Cao Jie, and Yuan Yu and their gang can't be washed away, and Yuan Yu is a member of the Yuan clan There is no doubt that Yuan Yu did these things It is very abnormal for the Yuan family not to stop them, unless they are also involved.
