"At the beginning of my reign, I held yin and yang, and ruled the world, and the lives and deaths of thousands of people were all in my hands, and I had a great responsibility.

The first emperor and King Luo Wen handed over the world to me, so I did not tremble for a moment, walking on thin ice, for fear of disappointing the entrustment of the first emperor and King Luo Wen and damaging their legacy.

I have never heard of a prosperous country without paying attention to meritocracy.

If it is in the ascendant today, it is the time when the monarch and the minister are dedicated to their lives, a hundred thousand years later, I will reach the green history in the name of the holy king, will the name of the emperor still be unheard? ”

Liu Heng looked at everyone with shining eyes, and directly said his ultimate goal, which was something that Luo Xin had been teaching him, and put forward the conditions that needed to become a saint king from all aspects.

Everyone present was shocked by Liu Heng's words, how many kings have existed in the land of Zhuxia since ancient times?

But how many of them can be called holy kings?

It's just Yao Shunyu soup.

But these holy kings almost all live only in the oral tradition of legends, and many people's deeds don't even know whether they are true or false.

Even the martial king who killed the king of Xuan is not counted, although he got the mandate of heaven, but he collapsed soon after unification.

Now Liu Heng says that he wants to be the Holy King, this is to be the first person under the three generations!

"Obey Your Majesty's orders!"

……

After these Che Hou returned to Chang'an, they were quiet for less than three days, and they were overwhelmed by the swarm of officials, and the gifts given by the people who came to walk around could not even be placed in the Hou Mansion, and they had to be piled up on the streets.

These people may be upstarts compared to Luo's, but for the magnates who have just risen in recent years, the founding nobles are already old aristocrats that many people can't hope for.

These people have worked hard in Chang'an and even Guanzhong for so many years, and once they return to Chang'an, countless relationship interests will be reconnected with them as the core.

You don't need to spend time, energy and a lot of money to enhance the fundamentals like those upstarts who lack foundation.

In the palace, there are many bamboo sticks on the table in front of Liu Heng, and each bamboo stick has a name written on it.

Whenever Liu Heng lifted a bamboo stick, he would fall into deep thought, as if he was recalling something.

He set his eyes on the bamboo sticks with the name of the Marquis of Che written on them, and then looked out of the hall, and just happened to see Luo Jing walk in, so he asked with a smile: "Ah Jing, how is it?" ”

It turned out that Liu Heng asked Luo Jing to see how good the scenes of the Chehou family were.

Luo Jing directly said what he saw, "Your Majesty, half of the courtiers in Chang'an City have entered the Mansion of the Marquis of Che, and the silence of these years has not made these families lonely, as long as you let go of the restrictions on them, they will immediately return to becoming behemoths." ”

Hearing Luo Jing's words, Liu Heng groaned for a while, and then threw the bamboo sticks written in his hand into a piece of cloth, and the sound of the bamboo sticks colliding was quite crisp.

Faintly, you can also see the words Wuyang Marquis, Jianghou and so on from the exposed corner, and the corner of the cloth is embroidered with the words of the guard.

The tumultuous feast lasted for several days, and the Founding Fathers deliberately used it to announce their return to the whole world.

Liu Heng also sent an envoy to reward him, fully demonstrating the friendship and deep friendship between the monarch and the minister.

When everything was over, Liu Heng's appointment of these Che Hou quickly came down, and they basically returned to the army.

Such a large-scale personnel adjustment naturally made the government and the opposition look sideways, and many people were speculating about what the emperor wanted to do.

……

In the Changle Palace.

Liu Heng looked at the copper coin in his hand over and over again, and didn't know how long he looked at it, before he raised his head and said to Jia Yi and Luo Jing: "Jia Qing, I remember that I said in a book a long time ago that the imperial court should take back the coinage rights delegated to the people?" ”

When Jia Yi heard this, he immediately said: "It is Your Majesty, the right to mint coins is related to the lifeblood of the imperial court. ”

Luo Jing said: "Your Majesty, my father once said that the coinage right must eventually be taken back to the imperial court and issued by the central imperial court, do you want to start now?"

I think it won't be so easy.

After all, minting money is too profitable, as long as it is a profitable business, there will definitely be people who take risks.

Even if it is forbidden by officials, those lawless heroes will definitely be cast in private, and even those princes and kings will do so. ”

Liu Heng sneered when he heard this: "Then I want to see if their necks are hard, or if my knife is sharper."

What I am really worried about is whether this move will be suspected of competing with the people for profit, and whether it will make the people of the world suffer more. ”

Luo Jing smiled: "Your Majesty, you are really worried.

Although it is really unpleasant to say this, this level of power struggle has never had much to do with the people, is there still ordinary people in this world who can benefit from minting money?

All the people who can benefit are those powerful and princes, and they are the richest people in the entire Han Dynasty, and there is only so much money in the world, if all of them are taken away, then the people will not be able to get it.

The common people did not benefit from the policies of the imperial court, but they were always harmed.

The minister remembered that the fifth uncle of the minister, Shouguang Hou, said something to Empress Gao in the past, that is, the Han Dynasty relied on those good families to survive.

If the Han Dynasty is a person, a good family is food and water.

Is there anyone in this world who can live without food and water?

Naturally, there is none.

If you let the strong and powerful, ordinary people will definitely not be able to live.

If these people can't survive, the current Han Dynasty will collapse with a bang, either like the Qin Dynasty will die directly, or they will have to completely rely on local tyrants to rule.

The common people who can pay taxes for the imperial court are indispensable, and the princes and kings and the powerful can be replaced.

The Han Dynasty lacked everything, that is, there was no shortage of candidates who could become princes and kings and heroes. ”

Although Luo Jing is not good at these things, he has a family history and is still very strong, and Liu Heng and Jia Yi nodded in agreement with his theory.

Liu Heng directly burst out of murderous aura in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Ah Jing, it seems that I am right to call back the Chehou first, and if I want to take back the coinage right, I want to kill a group of people, why can't these heroes be killed?" ”

Jia Yi and Luo Jing laughed when they heard this, it was a joke if they wanted to kill Guang Haoqiang.

Liu Heng himself also understood that this was too whimsical, closed his eyes slightly and opened them again and asked, "Jia Qing, Ah Jing, at tomorrow's court meeting, find a courtier to bring this matter up." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In fact, Luo Jing believes that he can directly make an order, and the method of tentative exploration usually represents a sense of deliberation and reflects a kind of uncertainty.

The matter of recovering the right to mint coinage is non-negotiable, this is the power of the central court, and the local government should directly hand over this power.

Whoever dares to question it should be regarded as a rebel and should not hesitate to raise troops to suppress it.

There is no better of these two methods, Luo Jing is not like Liu Heng, there are countless twists and turns in his mind.

Liu Heng thinks about something, and he doesn't know how many turns he has to make in his heart and mind before he says it, he is really a natural emperor.

Luo Jing and Jia Yi walked towards the outside of the palace together, Luo Jing asked: "Jia Qing has a suitable candidate, if not, Jing can recommend a few to you, although my father and uncles have either passed away or left Chang'an City, there are still many relatives and friends in Chang'an, especially the third uncle, who have many relationships." ”

Even if it is not Luo's identity bonus, just Luo Yi's own relationship, he is also the most widely traveled among the founding nobles, and there are basically no founding nobles he doesn't know.

If Luo did not send his son back to Zhaocheng, his son would become the leader of the second generation of the founding nobles, which was the power and status of the Yinghou Mansion.

Jia Yi smiled when he heard this: "Thank you Gongzi, that's not necessary, Yi has been taken care of by Shouguang Hou over the years, and he is a little thin in Chang'an City, and suitable courtiers can still be found."

In the past, King Luowen and Shouguang Hou recommended friendship, and friendship could not be relied on in everything, otherwise it would really live up to Ling Zun's attention. ”

Hearing Jia Yi call himself his son, Luo Jing squinted slightly and said, "Jia Qing, you are now an important minister of the state, you can call Jing Shizhong, or call Dong'a." ”

Jia Yi himself entered the political arena through Luo's, and he was also reused because of Luo's relationship, and was even trusted by the emperor, and he had a strong Luo's label.

Calling Luo Jing a son now is even more solidified Luo's protégé's identity, but Jia Yi is now an important minister next to the emperor, which is not a good thing, in Luo's opinion, Jia Yi is enough as long as he is loyal to the emperor, as long as he favors Luo's at a critical moment, it is enough, and he does not live up to Luo's recommendation.

When Jia Yi heard this, he naturally understood what Luo Jing meant, and immediately nodded to show that he understood.

As the palace gate slowly sets, the sun slowly sets.

The sun rises as usual.
