Gou Shen felt that he had encountered a problem that was more difficult than how to eradicate the four major families such as Yuan and Chu in Yingchuan County.

If you don't do well in Yingchuan County, it's a big deal not to do the county order, it's a matter of ability, but if you don't handle things with Liu Min well, either you will deeply offend Liu Min, and Liu Min will be jealous of herself for the rest of your life - it is a terrible thing for a woman to change from love to hate for you, not to mention that this woman is a princess - or Liu Xun directly sent someone to cut down his little derogatory edict at home who dared to seduce the princess of the Han Dynasty!

"Playing with fire and burning yourself!"

In the past, Gou Shen tried his best to get close to Liu Min, but recently, he tried his best to keep a distance from Liu Min without leaving a trace, neither alienating her nor getting close to her.

This one is hard.

Whether it is to offend Liu Min or anger Liu Xun, it is not what Gou Shen wants.

What to do?

What are you going to do?

Incognito?

Escape from the big man?

The people around him couldn't notice that Gou Shen was already a little restless and falling apart because of Liu Min's matter, only Gou Shen himself knew that he couldn't find a solution to this matter, he was really going crazy, he seemed to see Liu Xun's anger because he seduced Liu Min!

But now the most advanced civilization is the Great Han Kingdom, do you want to escape to the surrounding barbarian land?

The world is big, there is nowhere to hide, the sea of people is vast, who knows my heart!

- Is this the end of destroying someone else's marriage and acting as a third party?

The days of the little ^ three are really difficult.

How did it get to this?

……

The Great Han Kingdom finally welcomed a guest from afar: King Jiangbin of Qiuzi and his wife. There is also the youngest daughter of Weng Guimi, the current lord of Wusun Kingdom, Princess Wusun.

King Qiuzi and his wife met the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven Liu Xun Dayue. He was given a letter and ribbon to King Jiangbin of Qiuzi, and the title of Princess of Mrs. Jiangbin was sealed, and a very generous reward was given.

Then, the envoy of Wusun King Weng Guimi sent the dowry gift of the Wusun prince Yuan Guimi to propose marriage to the Han princess, a thousand good horses and a number of various treasures in the Western Regions.

The Son of Heaven Liu Xun approved Wusun's marriage proposal, gave the Han Xiangfu princess to marry the Wusun prince Yuan Guimi, and chose the auspicious day of the zodiac to send the Han envoy to send the Xiangfu princess to Wusun to complete the marriage.

Next. It was Princess Wusun who chose a young handsome man in Dahan to be her husband.

However, Princess Wusun made it clear to the Son of Heaven Liu Xun. She has to choose a future partner for herself according to the customs of the Wusun Kingdom and according to her own will.

In this matter, Wusun Guo had a note to the Han in advance, and Liu Xun had also considered it. At the same time, he also consulted the courtiers of the Han Dynasty. Although everyone is a little difficult to understand Princess Wusun's style, it is inconvenient to say more.

However, on the question of the range in which to choose the future husband, many people have put forward their opinions openly and secretly.

These opinions are almost the same, that is, I don't want my son-in-law to be confused by the eyes of Wusun Guo whether it is blue or green, the skin is white as if there is no blood, and the hair is golden. The princess of Wusun Kingdom, who is more than seven feet tall, picked.

The courtiers of the Han Kingdom believed that marriage had always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of their parents. Even if there are women who choose their own in-laws, it is also a long-term acquaintance between men and women, childhood sweethearts, parents on both sides understand each other, everything is pushed smoothly and naturally, matchmakers, here is just a symbolic scene.

Another kind is like the Son of Heaven marrying a daughter, so who doesn't want to marry a princess in their own family?

But Wusun and Dahan are two countries, not to mention the different customs and habits, whose son will put the woman who is very similar to his own aesthetic concept in the house in the future, it is not to meet every day, can I not feel awkward?

Wusun is simple, requiring men from the Han Kingdom to be more than fifteen and less than twenty-five, and those who are not married can be listed within the scope of their princesses.

As a result, Yang Tan, who was in charge of selecting candidates for his qualifications on the side of the Great Han Kingdom, made it difficult, he couldn't complete the task at all, no one signed up, and he couldn't come forward to force this matter himself.

Yang Tan had no choice but to tell Liu Xun, the son of heaven, the dilemma.

Liu Xun was very angry when he heard this, and ordered that in Chang'an City, all the children of official eunuchs, aged 15 to 25, and men who did not have a marriage contract, should all go to the subject country to register within a limited time, otherwise, they will be punished for disrespect.

At that time, the marriage time of men and women in the Han Kingdom was relatively early, and it was very common for people to marry wives in sixteen or seventeen, and it was rare to marry wives above the age of twenty.

Since then, Yang Tan's list has listed more than 100 people at once, and most of them have just turned fifteen years old.

But down, there was another heresy in this family election, which made Liu Xun, the son of heaven, furious.

Weiyang Palace, the apse of the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Xun, the tenth emperor of the Han Empire, sat there, his fingers flicked lightly on the desk, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the crown prince Liu Zheng who was standing on the side.

Liu Zheng, the crown prince of the Han Kingdom, had a handsome face and a graceful face, he didn't notice that his father Liu Xun was already a little impatient, and said to himself: "...... At the beginning, the prime minister, the imperial history, the general of the chariot cavalry, the former general, and the later general promoted Xin Tang as the captain of the Qiang Guard, but General Zhao Chongguo objected, saying that Xin Tang was known to be a notorious person and could not be the captain of the Qiang Guard, so the father listened to Zhao Chongguo's admonition and appointed Xin Linzhong. ”

"It's just that Xin Linzhong was sick at the beginning of his tenure and couldn't continue to serve as the captain of the Qiang Guard, so the courtiers once again promoted Xin Tang."

"Sure enough, after Xin Tang took office, he abused the Qiang people many times after getting drunk, beating and scolding them lightly, and severely punished them with capital punishment, there were not many Qiang people in the Western Regions, so there was no need to worry, but there must be trouble under the pressure, and sure enough, the Qiang people rebelled again, in the end it was the same as Zhao Chongguo expected."

Liu Xun flicked twice on the desk, looked at his handsome and elegant son and asked, "What does the prince want to say?" ”

Shi Xian, the middle scholar on the side of the main hall, couldn't help but look up at Liu Xun and Liu Zheng, and quickly lowered his head again.

Liu Zheng looked at his father and plucked up the courage to say: "Zuo Chuan. The second year of Henggong "Youyun: The defeat of the country. by the official evil also; The official is immoral, and the bribe chapter is also! ”

"Since the corruption of the state is often caused by the corruption and wickedness of the officials, the immorality of the officials. It is often caused by the connivance of the boss, the public favor, and the bribery, so why does the father still insist on complying with the letters of those ministers and want Xin Tang to be the captain of the Qiang Protector? ”

Liu Zheng is interrogating the Son of Heaven Liu Xun.

Liu Xun knew that what the prince said was right, but he just didn't like that when Liu Zheng said something, he first quoted the words in some classic works as an argument to explain his opinion, so that it sounded like the prince was right. I don't seem to have my own insight.

"So what do you say you want to do now?"

Liu Zheng looked at Liu Xun patiently asking for his opinion, and said aloud: "Mencius. Gongsun Chou Shang" said that those who convince people with force. If you are not convinced, you can't support it; Those who convince people with virtue are happy and sincere in the center, since convincing people by force is not really convincing people. Serving talents with virtue is the avenue. Then why did the father only punish Xin Tang and not the ministers who sponsored him? ”

"Isn't that a bit of leniency?"

Liu Xun looked at the son born to himself and Xu Pingjun a little helplessly, he seemed to see Xu Pingjun's shadow on Liu Zheng's face in a trance, and the resentment that had just risen in his heart was diluted by tenderness, and he waved his hand to let Liu Zheng sit beside him, and said softly: "I think that the prince means that those ministers are not effective in sponsoring Xin Tang and should be punished." Isn't it? ”

Liu Zheng nodded, and Liu Xun said again: "There is." The prince said that Zhao Chongguo looked at the problem accurately and should be praised, right? ”

Liu Zheng nodded again, and Liu Xun sighed and said, "Then have you ever wondered why I only punished Xin Tang and didn't reprimand others?" ”

Liu Zheng looked at Liu Xun, and Liu Xun said: "Do you know that Lu Dao does not know that Lu Dao 'the law does not blame the public'? Could it be that Xin Tang made a mistake, and I will reprimand all the ministers? ”

Liu Zheng was about to speak, and Liu Xun then said: "Then why don't you want your father to temporarily record the mistakes of these courtiers who are not well sponsored, and wait for a period of time if they have other mistakes, and punish them together?" ”

Liu Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and Liu Xun softened his tone and said, "Prince, do you really think that your father is already too old to faint?" ”

Liu Zheng hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Erchen doesn't dare to ......"

Liu Xun said earnestly: "Xin Tang's brother Xin Wuxian has been a Taishou in Jiuquan for many years, and he and Xu Yanshou fought against the rebellion of the Qiang people together, there is no merit, there is also hard work, right?" Even if Xin Tang's ability is not good, and he made a mistake in the Western Regions, can he cause a bigger mess than the Qiang rebellion a few years ago? ”

"You also said just now, there is no need to worry about the few Qiang people, but Xin Tang is doing nonsense there, what kind of situation can the Qiang people fall into? Moreover, Xin Wuxian saw that his younger brother was difficult to use, didn't he feel anxious for his younger brother Xin Tang? In the end, I still let Xin Tang go to be the captain of the Qiang Guard, Xin Wuxian was resentful at the beginning, and he could only blame Zhao Chongguo, but now he is resentful, and he can only complain that his younger brother Xin Tang is not angry, what complaints does he have against me and our Liu family? ”

Liu Zheng nodded suddenly, and Shi Xian on the side lowered his head.

Liu Xun was teaching the art of the crown prince and emperor, Shi Xian was a little frightened in his heart, he suddenly felt that he was very inappropriate here, the more he knew the Tao, the more dangerous it was, but the Son of Heaven did not let himself avoid it.

"Besides, the ministers of the court, no matter what reason they sponsored Xin Tang in the first place, in the end, Xin Tang also committed a crime, can they not feel guilty about me when they are right?"

"Then, I don't punish and reprimand them now, if they are not stupid, they will do their best in the future, and strive to make up for the mistakes made in the captain of Huqiang.

Liu Zheng replied: "Yes, father, this sentence is from "Zuo Chuan. Twenty years of Zhao Gong", which means that governing the country is combined with generosity and severity, complementing each other, and political affairs are harmonious. ”

"Yes, it is also said in the Book of Rites, one piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs, King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou have different ways of governing the country, but the purpose to be achieved is the same."

"The so-called governance of the country is a combination of leniency and severity, and if you punish some people, you must protect others at the same time, otherwise everything that is wrong is wrong, and everything that is right is right, then the courtiers below are all a front, where is my position, the prince's position?"

"Aren't you really alone?" (To be continued......)

PS: ["Zizhi Tongjian Han Ji XVII. Emperor Xiaoxuan of Zhongzong": "The daughter of Princess Wusun is the wife of King Jiangbin of Qiuzi. Jiang Bin said in the book: "The grandson of Shanghan is willing to enter the court with the princess." ”…… King Qiuzi and his wife came to court; All are given seals, and the lady is known as the princess, and the reward is very generous. 】
