Chapter 48: The Imperial Tomb

Wei Xian smiled and went to the Xuan room, Liu Yi had already seen this, and his face was also happy, "What advice does Wei Lao Ke have?" Liu Yi didn't think that Wei Xian would come here without anything, so when Wei Xian entered, he asked each other.

"Your Majesty, according to the rules of etiquette, the new emperor can prepare for the construction of the imperial tomb in the second year after his accession to the throne, and the construction of the imperial tomb can be done by the national treasury in the current year. Wei Xian didn't beat around the bush, he directly said what he thought in his heart, and then looked at Liu Ai with his eyes.

Liu Ai is only nineteen years old, never thought that he would build a mausoleum for himself at a young age, Wei Xian's idea really surprised Liu Ai, and he always felt a little ominous in preparing the mausoleum, but after thinking about it, it is not only the rules of etiquette, but also the ancestors and ancestors, Wei Xian is also a good heart, and he is also relieved.

"Wei Lao is reasonable, but I just heard from you that the construction of the imperial tomb requires the use of the national treasury, I thought that this matter should be discussed with the general, Da Si Nong and others, what does Wei Lao think?" When it comes to state taxation, Liu Yi already thinks that he still needs to listen to Huo Guang's opinion, after all, there are some things that he is not as good as Huo Guangming, no matter what, this matter cannot be dictatorship by one person.

Liu Ai had already said so, Wei Xian nodded in agreement, and then Liu Ai had summoned Huo Guang, Tian Yannian and others.

Huo Guang hurriedly entered the palace when he received Liu Aiji's summons order, but not long after entering the palace, he heard Tian Yannian's voice behind him, and said a few words, only to realize that the two of them were ordered to enter the palace, "Your Majesty announced that you and I will enter the palace together, but what is the matter, it is not because of Wusun's matter, this matter can not be remembered......" The two of them had arrived in front of the door of the Xuan room during the conversation, Huo Guang stretched out his hand and signaled Tian Yannian not to speculate further.

"Now that you have come, listen to what your majesty commands, and after entering, don't act impulsively." It is not unreasonable for Huo Guang to have this advice and worry, Tian Yannian can openly oppose Liu Yi has already appointed Xu Pingjun as the successor, and with his violent temper, it is not impossible for the monarch and the ministers to quarrel on the spot.

Without waiting for Tian Yannian to agree to Huo Guang, Father-in-law Liao took Liu Aiji's order and invited Huo Guang and Tian Yannian to enter together, "Meet Your Majesty!" After saluting, Huo Guang and Tian Yannian noticed Wei Xian standing indoors, glanced at him a lot, retracted his gaze, and said to Liu Ai, "Your Majesty urgently summons the ministers and others to come here, I don't know what to order?" ”

"Da Honglu said that the new emperor can build the imperial tomb in the second year of his reign, does the general think this is feasible?" Liu Yi only roughly told Huo Guang what Wei Xian said, and then handed over the idea to Huo Guang.

Huo Guang thought for a while, and then said: "Since it is a rule of etiquette, His Majesty ordered someone to do it, and the minister seconded the words of Dahonglu." "It is normal for the emperor to build the imperial mausoleum for himself in a hundred years, Huo Guang has no reason to object, so he agreed, and Tian Yannian was obviously anxious, and he glanced at him vigorously behind Huo Guang, but Huo Guang turned his back to him, and he couldn't see the color in his eyes, but he was caught by Liu Ai, and it was all in his eyes.

"What is the difference between the Great Si Nong?" Clear-eyed people knew that Tian Yannian had something to say, and Liu Yan naturally would not ignore it, so he asked directly, but Liu Yan didn't care about this question, Wei Xian was already unhappy in his heart, and there was a bit of blame in Tian Yannian's eyes.

"The minister thinks that His Majesty is young, and it is too early to build a mausoleum at this time." Tian Yannian's words might as well not be explained, Wei Xian's eyes can simply eat people.

Before Liu Yi replied to anything, Wei Xian couldn't bear it, "What do you mean by what Da Si Nong said, the rules are like this, does Da Si Nong still want to ignore the rules?" ”

"Old Wei, don't get excited, you need to use the treasury to build the imperial mausoleum!"

"The whole Han world belongs to His Majesty, and it is not used indiscriminately, why can't the treasury be moved, isn't it because Dasi Nong is unwilling?"

Wei Xian was really angry this time, Huo Guang knew that Wei Xian was a more serious master, and shook his head at Tian Yannian, who still wanted to say something, signaled not to quarrel anymore, and agreed.

But Liu Yiji said at this time, "Since Dasi Nong has something to do, let's put this matter on hold for the time being." Wei Xian wanted to persuade something, but after hearing this, Tian Yannian hurriedly thanked him for his amnesty, for fear that Liu would change his mind after a while.

Tian Yannian's obvious behavior, Huo Guangrao didn't want to see that it was difficult to see anything, he went out of the Xuan room, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he really saw Tian Yannian waiting for him outside the palace, and before Tian Yannian could speak, Huo Guang had already asked, "Is there no silver in the treasury?" "If you say that the treasury has no silver, Huo Guang doesn't believe it, but I don't know why Tian Yannian stopped it like this.

After Huo Guang left, Wei Xian only said that Liu Ill was too good, so he would wronged himself according to Tian Yannian's words, and was stunned to count Tian Yannian, but Liu Ill was already accused by Wei Xian, and did not say a word, but when Wei Xian stopped, he said lukewarmly, "Wei Lao is also tired today, let's go back to the house to rest first, Dasi Nong may also have difficulties." ”

On the other side, Tian Yannian and Huo Guang arrived at Huo's Mansion together before saying: "General, I really can't complain about this matter, don't say that Your Majesty's imperial mausoleum, even the imperial mausoleum of the first emperor is still just a mold, this year I am afraid that I will have to join forces with Wusun, grain and grass are indispensable, and Your Majesty has been exempted from taxes for a year, who should I ask for silver taels to fight?" Tian Yannian poured the bitter water to Huo Guang at once.

"Regardless of the matter of joining forces with Wusun for the time being, you can tell me what is going on with the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, why it has not been repaired yet, didn't it be said a long time ago that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor has been completed?" How can there be a new emperor in the second year of his accession to the throne, and the mausoleum of the first emperor is still just a shell, and Huo Guang understands that this matter is not small.

"It is precisely because of this that I did not tell your Majesty the truth, and you also know that Wei Xian, who is full of etiquette and rules, is the first emperor, if he knows about this matter, then it will be fine!" Tian Yannian is not afraid of how Liu Yi will blame, but he is afraid of Wei Xian, an old pedant, if he is more serious, even His Majesty will be helpless, if he knows, he will not be a big farmer, and he is afraid that he will be angry with the old man, Tian Yannian can't afford this crime.

"Why is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor unfinished, and hasn't the construction already started?" This matter is definitely not small, and Huo Guang is also in a hurry.

"It's not those merchants, they have a lot of things used to build the imperial tomb, and now they are sold at a high price, where does the treasury get so much spare money to buy those things, and even if there is, they can't let them succeed, with this first time, they will pay it back later?" Speaking of this, Tian Yannian also has a big head, and it has taken so long with them, and now he can't afford it.

Huo Guang thought for a moment, "Why didn't you mention this matter earlier, how much did they ask for?" "Merchants always need to make some money, as long as it is not excessive, it is enough, after all, the mausoleum of the first emperor is more important, and compared with the early peace of the first emperor, the slightly higher price is naturally nothing.

"The general's year is not enough to buy this material......"

Huo Guang was really shocked by these words, no matter how good this material is, no matter how expensive it is, it will not be able to buy it for his own year, Huo Guang is not only surprised, but also annoyed, these people actually hit the idea on the tomb of the first emperor, "How to solve the current matter, what can you do?" "Anger is anger, the matter of the imperial tomb still can't be delayed, not to mention how long it has been here, if it spreads, won't it make people laugh.

Tian Yannian glanced at Huo Guang a few times, and hesitated: "This matter is not without a solution, the reason why the price of materials for the construction of this imperial mausoleum is so high, the main leaders are the wealthy merchants Jia Jiao and the Jia family in Maocheng, if they can use these two families as a breakthrough to govern them, no one will dare to follow suit, and the price of materials can return to normal." ”

"I will enter the palace in a later moment to make this matter known to Your Majesty." Although Huo Guang is powerful, he still knows the words of etiquette and rules by heart, and he took Tian Yannian into the palace with a little tidying up, of course, before asking to see Liu Ill, he also ordered someone to inquire to see if Wei Xian was still in the Xuan room, if the old man was there, Huo Guang and Tian Yannian would not want or dare to go in, let him know these things, and not turn this mess upside down.

Liu Ying had already seen Huo Guang and Tian Yannian come back, especially when Huo Guang had a solemn and worried look on his face, he couldn't help but lock his eyebrows, "The general and the big Si Nong have gone and returned, but what is the important thing to report?" "Tian Yannian's eyebrows at Huo Guang before, Liu Yi has seen it all, he is definitely a person who has something to do, and it is because he wants to build the imperial mausoleum.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister asked why Dasi Nong was embarrassed, and he and the minister said that it was because the mausoleum of the first emperor had not been repaired." Huo Guang's voice was not loud, but Liu Yi could hear it very clearly.

Liu Yi had already said to Shangguan last year that the mausoleum of the first emperor had been built, and now he said that he would continue, "Why is the tomb of the first emperor delayed to this day, but what is the reason?" "This is incredible, the tomb of the first emperor has not been repaired, I don't know and think that I don't care about this matter, not to mention that this kind of thing is spread out, doesn't it make people laugh, at this point, Liu Ill has been a little dissatisfied, and Tian Yannian will tell the Jiao family and the Jia family about Liu Ill, and he is even more angry, "There are still such profiteers, pass on my will, find out the truth, if everything is true, the Maoling Jiao family and the Jia family can avoid death, confiscate their family property, if there are repeat offenders, they will be beheaded to show the public!" ”

Huo Guang and Tian Yannian are waiting for this holy decree, and the matter of copying the house is naturally also responsible for the Dasi Farmland Yannian, so that those materials do not have to be bought, which can save a sum of money for the treasury, and because the things of the house are quite prosperous, it can reach as much as 30 million, and it can also increase the income of the treasury; Sending troops to aid Wusun, the food and salary for the joint attack on the Xiongnu have also been settled, but it is also a matter of killing two birds with one stone, Tian Yannian is happy, there is no need to worry about the fact that the treasury is difficult to be sufficient because of His Majesty's exemption from taxes to the world, and even this future matter has been solved.

But it didn't take long for Tian Yannian to laugh, and even Huo Guang added a layer of sorrow, if you want to talk about this, the cause is still the Jiao family and the Jia family.
