Because at that time, people had two meals a day, breakfast in the morning (7 o'clock to 9 o'clock), and dinner in the afternoon (15 o'clock to 17 o'clock), the time between the two meals was not short, and after eating, they did not sleep until 21 o'clock to 23 o'clock, so eating dinner is the best food to eat.

Enko's side is isolated from the outside world, and there are special cooks inside, so neither the examiner nor the candidate knows anything about the outside.

But the rest of the ministers of the DPRK and China were very well informed, and the news that Yuan Cheng rebelled and the same group of officials with a rank of 600 stone were beheaded made those family officials very afraid.

They were afraid that they would become the second Yuan Cheng, and the emperor had a brocade guard who could take people only by the emperor's dictation, which was also well known to everyone.

November 2 of the first year of Jianning, Shen Shi.

A group of ministers from the court trembled and rode to the palace in a carriage, and walked into the imperial garden under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen.

These officials range from high-ranking officials in the cabinet to small and medium-sized officials in the court with a rank of 400 stones.

The reason why all the people were invited was nothing more than to appease the people's hearts, and by the way, to make up for the vacant officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee with a rank of 600 stones.

After the officials of the court entered the imperial garden, they saw that Liu Hong was not there, so they gathered together in groups and whispered something.

They probably guessed the reason for being summoned this time, but they also had thoughts about whether to resist, after all, when Emperor Wu was in power, there were still officials who collectively dismissed officials and resisted!

But then a person said lightly, "Yuan Cheng's blood hasn't dried yet!" ”

Everyone suddenly wilted, and no longer mentioned anything about resisting or not resisting, compared to power, relatives are not important. But compared to one's own life, power is also unimportant.

At this moment, I heard Li Hao shouting at the gate of the imperial garden: "The emperor has arrived!! ”

Then Liu Hong appeared at the door of the imperial garden, and in the sight of the hundred officials, everyone hurriedly sorted out their official uniforms, and knelt down in the underground in order, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong walked between the crowds, slowly walked towards the noble throne, and summoned these people, Liu Hong really wanted to appease people's hearts, but he also wanted to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and give these people a chicken to make an example of the monkey, and Yuan Cheng and those officials with a rank of 600 stones in the middle of the court were the chickens.

Coming to the seat, after Liu Hong sat down, he looked at the officials who were still kneeling on the ground, smiled lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said quietly "flat"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After getting up, there was a chaotic ranking.

Originally, Liu Hong should have let everyone be flat when he was at the door, and then the ministers of the court who knelt in front of him followed behind Liu Hong, so that when Liu Hong was seated, these officials in the court also arranged their seats according to the size of their official positions and the distance from Liu Hong.

However, Liu Hong didn't call up, who dared to get up? This is where the chaotic side appears, otherwise none of these officials are doing things in a calm manner.

Liu Hong saw that everyone was lined up, waved his hand and said, "Sit down and set up a banquet." ”

After everyone thanked them, they took their seats one after another, saying that they were seated, but in fact they were just kneeling behind the desks of reading power.

This time, even the officials of the central rank of 400 stone came, how could the number be small?

This is still Liu Hong now that there is no queen, Da Changqiu and his subordinate officials have not come, and the forces in the army have not come, after all, they don't need Liu Hong to appease anything, but there are as many as 1,000 subordinate officials in Jiuqing alone.

With the huge scale of this thousand-person banquet, how can it be easily held except for special days such as worshipping the heavens?

For the sake of the atmosphere, Liu Hongcai arranged the venue of the banquet in the back garden.

Although it was only a few hours, the many eunuchs and maids in the palace still arranged the banquet in an orderly manner, without showing any haste.

More than 1,000 cases, more than 1,000 bronze wine bottles, such a big stroke, that is, the palace can take it out.

You must know that in ancient times, the production of bronze was very low, otherwise it would not be used to make coins, so bronze is extremely precious in this era.

Ordinary people want to have bronze wine bottles? Don't even think about it, the hundreds that can be taken out at one time are the princes and kings and some big families, and as for the thousands of bronze wine bottles, there is only one palace.

Liu Hong raised the wine bottle and said, "Zhong Aiqing, drink this bottle with me." (I don't know if the word "eating and drinking" was used in the Han Dynasty, but it feels weird not to write it down, so let's drink!) ）

"Your Majesty"

Immediately, Liu Hong and everyone drank the wine in the wine bottle.

Liu Hong has drunk alcohol in this life, but due to his young age and physical reasons, he only tasted it.

This time it was a bottle of wine, and this bottle of wine was as much as three taels of later generations, although the alcohol content was low, but so much wine still made Liu Hong uncomfortable.

So Liu Hongqiang held back the feeling of discomfort and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I can't drink alcohol, and I drink it myself." ”

"No"

When everyone saw Liu Hong's smile, the sense of apprehension in their hearts disappeared a lot, so they respected each other with their colleagues nearby.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Liu Hong coughed lightly, and when he saw that everyone stopped talking and looked at himself, Liu Hong said, "Everyone, Aiqing, Zuo Zhonglang will Yuan Cheng, I once relied on the minister of the humerus, but he lost his hope and actually intended to rebel. ”

Hearing Liu Hong's words, everyone was speechless, the imperial society, isn't it what the emperor says?

has been emphasizing that Yuan Cheng's intention to rebel is just an idea, and it has not yet been realized, so it means that there is no evidence?

This is the reason for the panic of the hundred officials, and they are also afraid that they will be killed on trumped-up charges like Yuan Cheng.

Liu Hong didn't know the thoughts of the hundred officials, he only knew that he only needed to show one attitude at this time.

So Liu Hong continued, "Although Yuan Cheng conspired against some officials in the DPRK and China, fortunately, the hidden danger in the DPRK and China was eliminated immediately, which also shows that this rebellion was just what Yuan Cheng thought, thought, and did, and acted in the name of the Yuan family. Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui participated in it. I am very relieved. ”

"Move Yuan Feng to the court Weizheng, rank Qianshi. (The rank of the Western Han Dynasty was 1,000 stones, and the rank of the Eastern Han Dynasty was 600 stones.) This book takes a thousand stones)"

"Moved Situ Changshi Yuan Kui to the Great Honglu. Two thousand stone in the rank. ”

With Liu Hong's words, everyone in the court knelt on the ground and shouted, "The emperor is shengming." ”

When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, won the founding heroes of the world, everyone was dissatisfied, and then Liu Bang first sealed the enemy of Yongya, and everyone worshipped.

Liu Hong used the same method, the previous ones were all foreshadowing, and the real means were these two appointments.

After sealing these two Yuan Cheng's own brothers, will the rest of the officials in the DPRK and China still be worried? The answer is no.

Immediately, Liu Hong took the first step because of his own exhaustion, and after Liu Hong left, everyone in the DPRK and China really drank happily.

I had no worries in my heart, and I naturally drank happily.

The post-mortem handling of Yuan Cheng's rebellion was basically completed.

ps: If you don't do it, there are things these days, so the update time is one chapter in the morning and one chapter in the evening. Everyone's forgiveness.
