Chapter 36: I Don't Allow It!
The world is shaking, no exaggeration!
On a document, there is the seal of the princes of the world, which has never been seen since the establishment of the imperial court, even if the former general forced Emperor Xiaoding to send troops to the southwest, there is no such scene.
At that time, it was just more than 30 liehous who lived in Chang'an who instigated to write a book.
This time, even the four major princes of Xinzheng Marquis Zhang, Lanling Marquis Xiao, Huaiyin Marquis Han, and Jimo Lu were all on the book.
Not to mention that the Yinghou Kingdom and the Principality of Qi are equally loud, who has ever seen this scene?
No one!
Liu Dan received this performance in Changle Palace, and his extremely complicated mood slowly unfolded, and the three princes and Jiuqing knelt in the hall, looking at their noses and ears, quietly waiting for the emperor's reaction.
"Commanded by the Son of Heaven, the supreme emperor on earth:
All saints, all peace, all blessings, ministers and so on.
More than 100 years ago, Emperor Gao was instructed to carry a three-foot sword and level the world.
The ancestors of the ministers, because of their meager merits and shallow virtues, were able to tear the earth and seal the country, establish a temple, and maintain a hundred years of wealth.
Such grace even surpassed that of three generations of vassal states.
Can the ministers not repay the Han royal family with their lives?
The Kanto region is in turmoil, and millions of displaced people are like waves and rivers, sweeping down, unable to suppress, and the ministers are worried.
The people of Li are like the water of a great river, the monarch is the boat on the great river, the great river is calm and moves forward, the great river is turbulent, is there any other possibility except capsizing?
The officials of the Kanto region are afraid of you and dare not report the true situation, and the ministers are worried about you, and the monarch cannot see it, it is not allowed.
The ministers are all descendants of important ministers when the dynasty was established, or your clan relatives and relatives, if the ministers do not say this, I am afraid that no one will dare to say it.
There have been many wars in the Han Dynasty over the years, and the barbarians of the Quartet have surrendered, and your exploits are like the sun and the moon, and no one can destroy them.
It is already difficult for the people to live, and instead of making the people happy, victory is on the contrary, bankruptcy is increasing day by day.
The ministers solemnly ask you to revoke the draconian decrees, release the arrested officials, and issue an edict to exterminate the bandits.
Clear the land of Kanto, settle the displaced people of Kanto, stop the war and the construction of palaces.
The conscription for conscription and the showdown of military service were stopped, the decree on reporting and denunciation was abolished, and the ranks of the officials were put in order.
For the virtuous and virtuous Fang Zheng, bless their juniors, and praise their thoughts.
Let the merchants do business, let the craftsmen build, and let the farmers farm.
As long as you do this, will the world be unstable?
The reign of Hyowen will return like lightning!
I sincerely ask for you.
Wait and say goodbye, three times! ”
Liu Dan crumpled the music in his hand with a snap, his eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, looking at the letter in his hand, and then looking at the beginning of the sentence "The Son of Heaven is ordered by heaven", in Liu Dan's opinion, this is simply a provocation.
The eyelids of everyone in the hall jumped, this letter was circulated in private, and in the eyes of most people, the content in it was not intense, and there was not even any place to accuse the emperor.
But the emperor must not be comfortable, especially since there are clear political statements in the above book, which basically require the emperor to completely correct the current strategy.
Liu Danhu looked at everyone in the hall and said coldly: "All Aiqing, read it carefully, see what this group of princes and kings said, take a good look, what a rebellion this is!" ”
The eyelids of the ministers in the palace jumped again, and the emperor directly used the word rebellion.
Speaking from the heart, the behavior of these princes and kings really cannot be called rebellion, maintaining the society of the Han Dynasty and ensuring the permanence of the temple, which was the purpose of Emperor Gao when he divided the princes and princes.
Some of the princes in the palace did not participate in the book, but from the bottom of their hearts, they did not think that there was a problem with the attitude of this letter, if the princes could not put forward their opinions on the state affairs, then could they still be called liehous?
Isn't that a eunuch slave in the palace, a treacherous official in the county, kneeling in front of the emperor, expecting Ai Ai, hesitating, shouting "Emperor Shengming!" ”
The only problem with this letter is that it not only violates the majesty of the emperor, but also violates the interests of many people.
The mere act of stopping the war offended many people, how was Anyang Hou Hanlin driven out of Chang'an?
Just because he doesn't agree with the war, it really doesn't make the emperor hate it so much, after all, Liu Dan a few years ago was not so independent, and the person who opposed the war all the time was not Han Lin alone.
In fact, it was because Han Lin was rejected by the military meritorious nobles, and if he didn't leave, his life would be in danger, so he left the court and went to the local place to be a town guard.
The princes have never been of the same mind!
The mixed factions in it are not clear at all, but they can be roughly divided into the Yuanxun faction, that is, the descendants of the founding fathers, the Yuanxun faction is also divided into several factions, and the relatives faction, that is, those who are related to the royal family by blood, and even those who have changed from princes and kings to hereditary princes, and there are upstarts in the Liu Che period, and finally the classic regional division, Henan faction, Hebei faction, Jiangdong faction, Jiangnan faction, central faction, local faction, Kanto faction, Kansai faction, very chaotic.
But most of the most powerful princes were in the circle of Heluo-Huaisi-Jiaodong, that is, among the five states of Jizhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou, which were divided by King Yu in the legend.
Most of the Yuanxun faction was sealed here, and these people gradually lost their absolute advantage in the court from the Liu Che period, but they still maintained a certain influence through marriage and recommendation.
For example, the great Sima general Changping Lie Hou Weiqing, the Marquis Zhou Yafu is his master, and the Huaiyin Marquis Han Liang is his father-in-law.
This time, many people believe that the Yuanxun faction is dominant, and some upstarts think that the reason why the Yuanxun faction is like this is because they are worried that with the growth of the upstarts, they will completely challenge the status of the Yuanxun faction.
Coincidentally, Emperor Liu Dan also thought so!
After more than ten years of war, although there was the participation of the Yuanxun faction, under Liu Dan's special care, most of the nouveau riche who grabbed the war merits were the nouveau riche, especially the old people he brought from the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Liaodong Protectorate.
Liu Dan thinks that the Founding Fathers faction is using this incident to challenge his authority!
It's just so deadly!
Political misunderstandings, eternal and unchanging events in history, have changed countless political trends.
A book in order to resolve the social crisis turned into the fuse of a political confrontation, who would have thought that even if it was the resurrection of the second prince of Wenxuan, it would be complicated to feel people's hearts.
"Have you finished reading it?"
Liu Dan's voice was very cold, "Speak freely, I can accept any criticism of me." ”
There was obvious frost in his words, and even a faint smell of blood, this was an emperor with outstanding martial arts, who participated in the strategic planning and logistics deployment of almost every foreign expedition, and the princes in the palace were pierced by those sharp eyes, and they lowered their heads one after another.
Seeing this, Liu Dan was satisfied and said: "It seems that I am not wrong, so what is the situation with this letter?" So many princes, princes and kings, and even county guards appointed by the imperial court have all printed their own big seals, I am very puzzled. ”
Those people with different minds in the hall began to arch the fire, extremely noisy, and your words and my words stirred Liu Dan's nerves.
Liu Dan listened, and his voice became fierce, "Then you should ask, immediately recall these county guards to Chang'an, ask the virtuous and good Fangzheng about my mistakes, and by the way, since there are displaced people, why don't you report it?" ”
The ministers in the palace trembled when they heard this, knowing that these county guards were finished, if the report was true, then it would be death if they didn't report it before, and if the report was not true, it would be even more death.
"Prime Minister, the purpose."
Liu Dan's voice resounded in the hall, "Xia has 600 Fang countries, Shang has 800 Fang countries, Zhou Zhifang country is not counted, I have never heard of a country that can be stable but uneven border troubles, I have never heard of a country that can stabilize the society without a prosperous army, it is easy to stop the war, but it is not so simple to stop the war, jackals, tigers and leopards do not use knives, will they retreat by themselves?"
How ridiculous is this!
I built the palace to pray for the blessing of the world, is it just for my own extravagance?
Without a magnificent palace, without a shocking majesty, will the four Yi of Asaga be in awe of the court?
The role of a palace is better than that of 100,000 sword soldiers!
This is my heart, and it should not be slandered. ”
Liu Dan's words really made everyone dumbfounded, it was really shameless, what did you build the palace for, don't you have any points in your heart?
The beauties and treasures in the palace are also there to deter the four yi?
Even the generals who were favored for the construction of the Eternal Life Palace were a little nervous, and Sang Hongyang was even more expressionless.
In the past few years, he has been tirelessly providing Liu Dan with money to squander, but not as much as before.
Because most of the tricks to accumulate wealth have been used, the economy of the Han Dynasty is almost rotten, and the rest is all the lethal tricks of oral endowment, which he doesn't dare to use.
Especially after the death of Jiegong, many people switched to other factions, which made Sang Hongyang restrain a lot.
He is an economic master, once he puts his mind on the right path, he will play a great role, and it is his credit that Guanzhong can maintain an uncollapsed state.
"Your Majesty, the edict has been completed, please take a look at it, if it is appropriate, the minister will use the seal on the spot."
The prime minister's voice sounded, and Liu Dan hurriedly swept it over and stamped it with a seal.
"Send to Shandong! Let's see, what are these rebels going to do? ”
—————
Reconciling yin and yang, the concord is regarded as the most important ability of the prime minister, and a strong prime minister can usually ensure the smooth progress of the dynasty, because a strong prime minister can unify the disputes within the ruling group.
After a hundred years of development, the political divisions within the ruling group of the Han Dynasty were extremely different, the political lines were extremely different, and there was no one with sufficient prestige and ability to come out and integrate everything.
Emperor Han's low political ability was exploited, and in the midst of agitation, he chose direct confrontation, which quickly turned into a confrontation between several groups, and a major event that affected the fate of the entire Han dynasty began. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
