Chapter Seventy-Two: Powerful Allies
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace!
Liu Che looked at Liu Qu standing in front of him with wide eyes.
The night before yesterday, I received a report from Wang Wu, saying that the kid had a gray nose in Lantian, and although he could see the moves, he never grasped the initiative.
If you want to give the Lan family a thunderous blow through the accumulation of some small things, this method is either impossible, or it takes too much time to delay.
Liu Che didn't interfere with Liu Ponu's approach, and finally found such a good place for him, and there was such a perfect reason, if it wasn't good to hone this kid, wouldn't it be a waste of the Lan family's efforts over the past hundred years?
Although Liu Ponu's approach was a bit impatient, Liu Che did not lose patience.
At least he is doing it in the right direction, all he lacks is experience, and when he first became the emperor, didn't he make mistakes frequently?
In comparison, Liu Che even felt that Liu Ponu had done a very good job.
At least compared to the crown prince, Liu Che felt that Liu Ponu could crush Liu Ju in all aspects.
"Your Majesty, the young master said that the stage of Lantian is too small, and it is not worth your majesty's time to waste time with each other in the court, the Lan family is deeply rooted in Lantian, the young master tried it and found that it is very difficult to change the status quo of Lantian with the power of one person, at least it is impossible to do it in three or five years."
"If you waste so much time in Lantian, some subsequent plans and arrangements will be disrupted, and Your Majesty will do this completely because of a small loss, and it is not cost-effective."
"So the young master wants you to directly stab the Lan family into this matter, and said that with the behavior of the Lan family, who controls the economy, agriculture, career, and public opinion of the Lan family, the emperor will not let them go at all, so as long as this matter is stabbed, the emperor will definitely send someone to investigate......"
"He also said that Your Majesty, you can take the opportunity to play and link the Lan family with your opponents, even if you can't hit them, at least you can disgust them in front of the emperor......" Liu Qu Balabala said.
"That's what the kid really said?" Liu Che looked at Liu Qu with a speechless face.
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what the young master said......" Liu Qu nodded honestly.
"This kid, play with me in the open and in the dark!" Liu Che instantly became happy.
I knew that the kid wouldn't stop there, but I didn't expect that his patience would take less than ten days......
Good!
Very good!
Although the whetstone of the Lan family did not fully play its due role, at least it allowed me to see good results.
If you can't play it, you can play yin?
So to speak, but Liu Che prefers to call this set decisive.
Although he didn't really kill people, when he found that the way he took was making slow progress, he decisively took another set of methods to carry it out, and at the same time did not give up the original methods, and these two hands were really ready to play.
A year ago, he received a report from his subordinates, saying that the county lieutenant of Lantian reported that the Lan family was rampant and domineering in Lantian and manipulated the officialdom, and the county orders transferred by the imperial court over the years were firmly controlled by them and did not dare to speak out.
Liu Che was furious at that time, and immediately asked Wang Wu to send someone to investigate, and after a year, the crimes investigated alone could fill three cars.
The more Liu Che looked at it, the more shocked he became, the more angry he became, if it weren't for the curiosity in his heart that forced him to see what the Lan family had done in Lantian, he would have closed the net a long time ago.
As a result, he happened to meet Liu Ponu, and Liu Che had an idea and decided to arrange Liu Ponu to go to Lantian to try his success.
Now for Liu Che, there is no hurry to clean up the Lan family.
If the Lan family can hone a good prince for themselves, it will be worth it.
But Liu Che didn't guess that even a family like the Lan family did not play any role in tempering Liu Ponu.
It seems that the two are not in the same plane at all, although Liu Po is weak, he can quickly find the weakness of the Lan family and deal a fatal blow to him.
"Liu Qu, what do you think of that kid?" Liu Che suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty, the young master is erratic, and the old slave often can't understand it, but after so many things, the young master's purpose is extremely strong......" Liu Qu thought for a while and replied seriously.
"It's a good thing to be erratic, but it's not necessarily a good thing!" Liu Che nodded solemnly, and then shook his head.
"Your Majesty, no one is perfect, after all, the young people have been living in the people for 20 years, and it is normal to have some shortcomings!" Liu Qu said again.
"Yes, no one is perfect, a person who has been in the people for 20 years is better than me who has been carefully cared for for 20 years, how can you say this is such a reason?" Liu Che couldn't help but sigh.
This incident made Liu Che realize that Liu Ponu no longer needed to deliberately hone it.
His character has been formed, and what he is showing so far is completely satisfying to himself.
But wouldn't it be too anxious to straighten him right now?
Liu Ju has been the crown prince for so many years, and he has the support of a large group of ministers around him, as well as the strong support of Wei Qing.
Even if you don't consider Liu Ju's feelings, you have to consider the queen, Wei Qing, and the feelings of those ministers.
The most important thing is that although the prince is weak and benevolent, he has a good reputation among the people.
In addition to his own ability and courage, the current Liu Ponu has no other aspects that can defeat Liu Ju, and forcibly correcting him can only be wiped out.
"You go down first, don't rush back yet!" Liu Che glanced at Liu Qu and made up his mind.
"No......"
Although Liu Che is very firm in his belief in changing the crown prince, he also knows that this matter is not so easy.
Although he is the emperor, it will undoubtedly be difficult and difficult to accomplish this matter by his own strength.
Let Liu Ponu go to Lantian, firstly, to test the success, and secondly, to accumulate prestige and fame, so that he can have the capital to compete with the prince in terms of popular support.
There is not much contradiction between Liu Che and the crown prince, but when Liu Ponu appeared, this contradiction of incompatible personalities was infinitely magnified.
So much so that the more Liu Che looked at Liu Ju, the more unpleasant he felt, and he hadn't even been to the queen for almost two months.
Even Wei Qing, he hadn't seen him for a long time.
Wei Qing has fought all his life, and there are countless generals who have been brought up by him, even if Wei Qing is gone, those under him will still support the prince.
He needs allies, the strong kind.
It is necessary to find an ally who can compete with Wei Qing, but for now, Dahan does not have anyone with this kind of power at all.
Similarly, Liu Che was also a little worried.
It is very common for relatives to interfere in politics in the Han Dynasty, and how strong those relatives support him now will be how ruthless they will be in the future.
If I give in a few years, maybe this problem can be solved......
Suddenly, Liu Che's eyes lit up, and he commanded outside despite the darkness: "Pass Huo Guang......"
