The law of the Great Han Dynasty was very restrictive to the officials of the Great Han, although the rebellion in the Great Han Dynasty was all their own people of the Liu family, but since Liu Bang, every emperor has been very strict with the people around him. According to the law of the Great Han Dynasty, officials of different ranks have different numbers of guards. The highest-ranking prime minister, only one hundred and twenty people, the lower down the number, the fewer and fewer, when they arrived in the county, they were not allowed to have any personal guards.

In addition to the number of guards, there is also the number of armor, which is also within the limit. The Great Han belonged to the transition stage from bronze weapons to iron weapons, and the control of iron was very strict. Generally speaking, except for the emperor's personal guards, few people dared to build weapons out of iron. According to historical records, Zhou Yang, the son of Zhou Yafu, saw that his father was old, so he secretly bought 500 armor shields and prepared to use them for funeral when Zhou Yafu died. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jing immediately forgot about Zhou Yafu's great achievements and ordered the court lieutenant to interrogate, and finally Zhou Yafu died in prison.

Zhou Yafu is the son of Zhou Bo, and he can be regarded as the founder of the Han Dynasty, but he was killed only for 500 pairs of armor, which shows how strict the Han Emperor's control over his generals is. However, since the death of Emperor Jing, the emperor's relatives and the marquis of various families have shown signs of resurgence, and many people have privately increased the number of guards to build armor, and Liu Che can only turn a blind eye when he just ascends the throne.

Regarding Su Ren's words, Liu Che was also helpless, and almost refuted: "What's so strange about this, the emperor's relatives rely on their own power and money, and collect the ruffians and heroes in Chang'an for their own use, a hundred people is not too many!" ”

Su Ren didn't say anything, just smiled: "Your Majesty has seen cutting down trees?" Before cutting down the tree, the woodcutter first has to remove its branches and leaves, and then cut off the roots of the tree, and finally take a pickaxe and dig out the roots, after which the tree will never grow again, even if it is ten years or decades, or even from now on! ”

Liu Che is a smart person, and he understood Su Ren's words as soon as he heard them: "What do you mean ......?" ”

"Chop down their branches and leaves, cut off their arms, and find out all the guards and armor of each family, even if they make any changes, it is in vain to have no soldiers and no armor in their hands!"

Dongfang Shuo frowned, he had to admire Su Ren's foresight: "It's just, isn't this too slow?" If those people fight back, how should we deal with it, especially Princess Guantao, with the Queen Mother here, it is not easy to do! ”

Su Ren smiled: "To say something disrespectful, Your Majesty should not be most afraid of the Empress Dowager now, but those imperial relatives, the Empress Dowager is old, Your Majesty is only a teenager, even if the Empress Dowager can live to be a hundred years old, Your Majesty will not endure for a few more years, if the power of those imperial relatives and relatives is consolidated, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be shrouded in the shadow of those people in the future." ”

"The attack on Wei Qing this time just gave Your Majesty an opportunity, use this opportunity to wipe out the heroes and powers of the Sanfu Land, first cut off the hands and feet of the emperor's relatives, and then clean up little by little, until it is uprooted, not only can Your Majesty be completely barrier-free, even if it is the emperors of my Han Dynasty in the future, I will be grateful to Your Majesty."

Liu Che nodded: "Although the method is good, Chang'an doesn't know how many heroes and strong, and I can't generalize, don't let them be in Chang'an, where do they go?" ”

"Maoling!" Dongfang Shuo suddenly said: "Maoling is Your Majesty's sleeping palace after a hundred years, and now it is being built, and there is a shortage of manpower, so those people can be relocated to Maoling, strictly guarded, and let them atone for their sins!" ”

"These people are attached to the powerful and do not want to produce, but they exploit the people of Chang'an, and live a life of fine clothes and food, if Your Majesty gets all these people to Maoling to build a palace for Your Majesty, the people of Chang'an will also applaud, Mr. Dongfang chose this place well!" Su Ren glanced at Dongfang Shuo and admired this guy's wit.

Liu Che pondered for a long time: "Although things are good, but they are also difficult to do, since you say that those powerful are attached to the powerful, I want to move them, they will naturally ask the powerful to help, if this matter is known by the Empress Dowager, I am afraid I can't do anything!" ”

Su Ren smiled: "It's man-made, Your Majesty should have confidence, as long as these powerful evil deeds spread in Chang'an City, even if the Empress Dowager wants to stop it, she has to consider public opinion, Your Majesty must not underestimate the power of the people." ”

"What's the explanation?" Liu Che knew that Su Ren was a master of taking advantage of public opinion, and last time in order to protect himself, he dragged Princess Guantao into the water, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager's strength, Princess Guantao's life would definitely not be easy. This time Su Ren mentioned public opinion again, and Liu Che knew that this guy's hands were very black.

"I recommend a person to Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty tells him, he will definitely do it, and even if he dies, he will not have any complaints against His Majesty."

"Oh! And such faithful people? ”

Su Ren nodded: "Ebony Cliff doesn't know if Your Majesty has heard of it?" ”

Liu Che chuckled in his heart, this is the top secret of the Han Dynasty, not to mention the outside world, even in the palace, few people know about it. If you want to count them carefully, you can count them on one hand. Liu Che wanted to shake his head, but finally nodded.

Su Ren said: "This person was assigned to the land with his father, for more than ten years, the servant was subdued by Weichen a few years ago, placed in Shu County, this person's task is also completed, this person is the descendant of Ebony Cliff, followed Weichen to Chang'an, but there is no chance, temporarily live in Weichen's mansion, today His Majesty has a big affair, Weichen thinks this person is suitable!" ”

Dongfang Shuo didn't know the mystery, so he naturally didn't dare to interject. Listening to Su Ren and Liu Che talk about the most secret things, Dongfang Shuo was excited, since the emperor did not drive himself out, it means that he is the emperor's cronies from now on.

"But this rescue of Wei Qing, the coldness of making a great contribution?"

Su Ren shook his head: "Although he is not cold, he also participated in the rescue of Wei Qing, this person's name is Su Kai, Your Majesty can let people check the file, this person's father Su Ding is among them, when Wei Chen dealt with those bandits in Yuanshan, thanks to Su Kai's great help, he achieved the trade route of Qiangdi, Wei Chen guaranteed with his head that Su Kai was absolutely loyal to His Majesty, and the minister tried to win over him many times in vain!" ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Che laughed: "You want to win over all my people, do you want to test whether my sword is sharp?" ”

Su Ren waved his hand again and again: "Su Kai is strong in martial arts, firm in faith, and single-minded, just to restore his identity as an ebony cliff, Your Majesty can use it with confidence!" ”

"Good! Tomorrow you take Su Kai into the palace, I want to meet him! If it is as you say, then leave this matter to him, and I will be rewarded for doing it well! ”

"No!" Su Ren hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty, if this matter is successful, Maoling also needs someone to settle down, if these heroes and unruly people can't settle down properly, they are afraid of chaos, so please send your majesty to Maoling to prepare in advance." ”

"I want to go!" Dongfang Shuo took the opportunity to come up, although this matter is difficult, it is also the time to show determination, if this matter is done, it will inevitably have a status in Liu Che's heart.

Liu Che was in a happy mood, and immediately nodded: "You are all my humerus, and if this is done, I will be rewarded!" ”

When he got home, he was already holding the lamp, Su Ren first went to the courtyard of the guards to look at the injured guards, and asked Liu Gao to send someone tomorrow to collect the bones of those guards who died in battle. They are all Su Ren's cronies, Su Ren is kind and comforting, and gives everyone a rich reward.

Leng Jun, Hawking, and Su Kai were also injured, but fortunately they were not serious. Holding an arm, Hawking was upset: "Big brother, this time more than a dozen brothers died to save Wei Qing, but that is the emperor's brother-in-law, and the emperor didn't say anything?" ”

"Sit down, there's no place for you here!" He glared at Hawking coldly and asked Su Ren, "How is Brother Wei Qing?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I suffered some skin injuries, Your Majesty has sent a doctor to take care of it, and it's fine!"

Sima Xiangru was puzzled: "Wei Qing is a good person, and he is like us, but he hasn't known each other for a long time, why does Mr. care so much about this person?" ”

Su Ren didn't explain, and couldn't explain, he said something else vaguely, covering Sima Xiangru's question. After settling down and having dinner, everyone went back to rest, and Su Ren left Su Kai behind. Su Kai was the least injured this time, he did not participate in the fight, and was only grazed by an arrow on his neck when he was running.

Su Kai was wrapped in a thick bandage around his neck, and he had to walk with his neck in his head, and as soon as he turned around, the whole person turned around. Su Ren smiled: "It's not suitable, right?" ”

Su Kai nodded: "It's not a big injury, it's like my neck is broken." ”

"Good, this looks good! Tomorrow you will enter the palace with me, just like this, and let Your Majesty see how faithful you are. ”

"Into the palace? Do? ”

Su Ren said: "Haven't you always wanted to return to Ebony Cliff? Taking advantage of this opportunity, I mentioned it to His Majesty, and His Majesty is very happy, let me take you into the palace tomorrow, he wants to meet you! ”

"Your Majesty knows about me?" Su Kai was obviously excited.

Su Ren nodded: "Okay, go and rest, follow me into the palace tomorrow!" ”

Su Kai didn't sleep that night, and he couldn't sleep over and over. He didn't say anything to Thirteen Niang, and Thirteen Niang didn't ask, looking at her husband's happy appearance, Thirteen Niang guessed a little. Early the next morning, I got up early, found a new dress for Su Kai, changed it for Su Kai in person, looked left and right, felt that there was nothing wrong, and nodded.

"This is the time you dreamed of, and I'm happy for you!"

Su Kai was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to hold Thirteen Niang in his arms: "Hmm! Both generations of our father and son have been looking forward to this moment, and I will never be a lonely ghost from now on! ”

The couple ate together and hugged their daughter and teased them. Huang Shisan shouted behind the door, and Su Kai opened the door to meet the rising sun, and strode out.

Today's morning pilgrimage ended earlier than usual. As soon as Liu Che returned to the Xuan room, the chamberlain reported to Su Ren to ask to see him. Liu Che immediately asked Su Ren to call him in, and when he saw Su Ren followed by a young man who was not tall and tearful, Liu Che believed Su Ren's words a little. I cried like this before I saw myself, and it was strange to say that I was not loyal to myself. Without waiting for Su Kai to give a salute, Liu Che came down in person for the first time and helped Su Kai up: "Your father and son have suffered!" ”

Su Kai couldn't hold back his mood anymore, and crawled on the ground and cried.
