Chapter 5 Cannibalism
Liu Hong, who returned to the dormitory, did not look at the piles of twists and turns, but said to the personal eunuch Li Hao, "Pass on the cabinet Taifu Chen Fan, Taiwei Liu Ju, Situ Huguang, Sikong Liu Pet, and Chang'an County Hou Caoteng." ”
"No"
Li Hao is the little eunuch who helped Liu Hong deliver the message, because at this time, the entire Han Dynasty except for Cao Teng and Wang Fu has no other permanent attendants, so he, the emperor's personal little yellow door, is very popular.
After a while, the five members of the cabinet who had just left the court and had not yet walked out of the palace came to Liu Hong's bedroom.
As soon as they took three steps into the palace gate, the five people hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
How far you enter the palace gate to salute, you can show how much respect you have for the emperor, like Dong Zhuo later, that is great disrespect.
Liu Hong has recently been accustomed to not letting the minister get up, so he reprimanded him, so as to maintain the authority of the emperor, after all, the Han Dynasty at this time was not a powerful world. Although it may cause the slave surname of the whip dynasty in later generations.
But at this time, these are obviously not the time to consider, Liu Hong still needs to continue to establish authority for himself as a son of heaven.
So the five of them saluted, and before they could speak, Liu Hong said, "You and the other five people think that my words don't count at all." ”
Hearing this, the five people hurriedly said, "The ministers don't dare." ”
Seeing this, Liu Hong continued: "Then tell me, what is going on in the twists and turns above my case? Didn't I let you and others assist me? What did I do when I set up a cabinet? It is to let you and others help me deal with state affairs, and after a while, take these folds away, and write the corresponding response plan on them, and then submit them to me for review, and if feasible, they will be sealed. If it doesn't work, I will come up with a new plan. ”
"The ministers obey."
Seeing this, Liu Hong said lightly, "Okay, let's get up!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, the five of them hurriedly got up and stood up.
"Give me a seat," Liu Hong said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
It is said that it is a seat, but in fact it is just a few cushions, except for the emperor at that time, basically everyone knelt down. It is also a way to show authority.
After the five of them sat down, Liu Hong said, "Cancel the family's private soldiers, those who don't cancel, how did the secretary do about paying money and grain?" Is there a family dissatisfied? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Taifu Chen Fan got up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, although the family has complaints, there is no dissatisfaction. ”
Liu Hong thought about it, it is also the family's money! How could it be that for this little profit, the emperor's mood was ruined.
So Liu Hong smiled and said, "That's good, you must know that today's imperial court is very short of money." ”
Liu Hong's words, the five people below immediately understood, no wonder the emperor punished officials with confiscation of property, it turned out to be to enrich the treasury!
Now that the emperor has only been in power for two days, there are rumors outside that the emperor has been robbed.
Thinking of this, these loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty all knelt down and said, "The emperor is sage." ”
Of course, Cao Teng is not a loyal minister, but just a formality.
Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "Get up, just now in the main hall, I have already said the most important thing in the imperial court today, and next, your task is to do these two things well." ”
"No"
Liu Hong nodded, and then Situ Huguang said, "Your Majesty, the emperor has been on the throne for half a year, do you want to choose some women to enrich **?" ”
Liu Hong refused without thinking about it, just kidding, how old he was!
So Liu Hongdao: "Now that the court is in ruins, you can't work hard to mobilize the people." ”
"Your Majesty."
Liu Hong saw that everything that should be said was almost done, so he said, "Okay, let's go down!" Then he pointed to the folds on the table and said, "By the way, Li Hao, send these folds to the cabinet." ”
"No"
On September 20 of the first year of Jianning, what happened in Luoyang, the capital division, spread all over the states and counties of the world.
People of insight in the family can see that the current emperor is a Ming monarch, relying on the power of eradicating eunuchs and relatives, and implementing two seemingly unremarkable, but very good checks and balances of the imperial court.
The cabinet system could not help but not have a situation in which eunuchs and relatives disappeared and the family was dominant, but stopped the government in his own hands in one fell swoop.
Those who are loyal to the Han family are happy about it, and those who are loyal to their own family are thinking about how to please His Majesty so that they can climb up.
As for those children from poor families, they are more concerned about the scientific expedition that began in November, no matter what their background, as long as they have a skill, they can become officials.
This new system that breaks the monopoly of the family and the probationary system makes those who have no way to serve the country very happy, although this is only Enke, but the discerning people know that this system will replace the probation system sooner or later.
At this time, Liu Hong was looking at the reports sent by Wang Yue from all over the country, and when he saw the reports of Henan Yin, Liu Hong was completely angry.
shouted, "Come on, spread Henan Yin Qiaoxuan." ”
"No"
Immediately, Liu Hong kept pacing in the main hall, and muttered in his mouth, "Yi Zi cannibalism, such an extermination of human beings actually happened in the closest place to Jingshi, could it be that this Han Dynasty has reached such a point?" ”
Half an hour later, Henan Yin Qiaoxuan came to Liu Hong's dormitory.
On the way here, Qiao Xuan already knew what had happened, and the emperor was furious after reading the report of his secret agent.
The emperor has a ranger agent by his side, and the ministers in the court know about it, so he is also very afraid, for fear that his handle will fall into his hands.
But Qiao Xuan thought that he had not done anything wrong, but when he heard the emperor's anger, he was still a little apprehensive.
So as soon as Qiao Xuan entered Liu Hong's bedroom, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Meet the emperor." ”
Liu Hong smashed a roll of bamboo slips on Qiao Xuan's head, and shouted angrily, "Qiao Xuan, tell me whether Chengzhao County is under your governance." ”
Although it was a question, Liu Hong used an affirmative tone.
Qiao Xuan was very puzzled when he heard this, Chengzhao County was the most serious place in June Sili, although Qiao Xuan sent people to rescue the disaster as soon as possible, but with little effect. It's just that the relief grain of the imperial court has not been in place, but on the tenth day of September, the relief grain of the imperial court has already arrived, and it should be fine at this time!
Qiao Xuan, who couldn't figure out what happened to Cheng Zhao, had no choice but to say, "Back to the emperor, yes." ”
Liu Hong laughed angrily and said, "Naer told me that this secret report said that Li Village, a subordinate of Cheng Zhao, and the whole village cannibalized each other, but the truth? ”
When Qiao Xuan heard this, the cold sweat on his head suddenly flowed, and Yi Zi cannibalized each other, which is to be punished by God. If this happens somewhere, then the county keeper of that county will suffer.
So Qiao Xuan hurriedly picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and looked at them, the records on them were very detailed, and the specific names of the people were there.
Qiao Xuan sweated profusely and said, "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know about this matter!" Two days ago, Nacheng recruited the county order, and also informed the minister that the disaster relief had been completed, and there were not too many casualties. ”
Liu Hong walked to Qiao Xun's side and kicked Qiao Xuan to the ground, not caring at all about his fifty-eight-year-old age.
Then he said sharply, "Within three days, I must see that this matter is perfectly resolved, otherwise I will prepare to bury those innocent people!" ”
"If the minister obeys the order, the minister will do it immediately!";
