Liu Ai has taken over the Han can be called a grim situation, after the defeat of the southern kingdom of Xiaoding, the emperor is exhausted, the princes are in trouble, the economy of the entire Han Dynasty has completely collapsed, and the current Han has temporarily settled down on the surface, but in fact it is all by luck.

As long as there is a large-scale natural disaster due to bad luck, with today's food reserves and population numbers, the people who rise up will turn the world into a blank field, and only those who survive are eligible to eat.

This is not even the contradiction that there is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmer is still starving to death, which can be solved by killing the strong, this is simple, the world is exhausted, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain.

Agriculture is the foundation of the world, and it is not just talk!

When Liu Yi had learned that the positions near Chang'an had almost bottomed out, he was shocked and couldn't even speak.

The only thing that could give him a sigh of relief was that Liu Dan had beaten down all the barbarians in all directions with his army, and now he was still licking his wounds, and he had no ability to invade the Central Plains.

Otherwise, internal and external troubles, no matter whether you win or lose, the reshuffle and reopening of the Central Plains is a doomed thing.

Soon Liu Ying had already issued an edict.

"The fatigue of the world has not exceeded this time, the fatigue of the people has become unbearable, the shortage of agricultural food has endangered the community, I tossed and turned, and it is difficult to sleep.

Now the county guards, county magistrates, and officials of the world are required to supervise the local farmers, repair the local water conservancy, dredge the rivers of the county, turn over the condensed soil, remove the weeds in the fields, and make the crops grow luxuriantly.

I seek talents who are good at farming from all over the world, and I am willing to give them the position of the Great Farmer Zhongcheng, seek farmers who are good at farming from the world, and set up persuasive farmers in the county and county marquis.

I also asked the counties of the world to observe the county order, rest the sacrifices of the eight lords, rectify the character and frequency of sacrifices, worship the god seat of King Zhaosheng, and pray for the illumination of the four seasons.

If the powerful people interfere with the farming, they will report to me, and I will not show mercy. ”

The issuance of the "Instruction on Nongsang Order" has made the officials of the world truly feel the change of the times, and the most important thing is that Liu Yi has put forward the assessment standard, that is, the upper position of prosperous Nongsang.

With the previous recruitment order, the emperor's thirst for talent has been placed in front of the world.

Liu Yi is still not at ease, he has seen how those officials oppress the good in the people, so he said in the court: "Since ancient times, people who have sat in the law have been fierce and fierce, and they have been resigned many times, but there is no change in remorse.

Now the people are tired, and the nobles and relatives are tired, and they feed on the people, and the people are so innocent.

If it's already dangerous, I'm not willing to take any risks.

An upright scholar, the heir of a martyr, a clan member of a close branch of the royal family, and a brother of the queen's family, this is what I trust.

I appointed them as the Imperial Historians, dressed in embroidered clothes, and brought with them my festival battles and tiger talismans, called the Imperial Records of Embroidered Clothes, to go to the counties, counties, and townships to supervise the lawlessness in various places, so that the nobles would not dare to embezzle the assets of the people, so that the people could recover and rest with all their hearts.

These imperial histories are directly at my orders. ”

The ministers were shocked when they heard this, in the past, Emperor Xiaowu put the assassination history to supervise the counties of the world, but the assassination history actually could not go deep into the county, and basically relied on the notice to do things, but this embroidered imperial history, when I heard it, there were a large number of people, and with the festival and the tiger talisman, the power was not small, and the embroidered imperial history chosen by the emperor was the children of the world's wealthy families and the lords of the scriptures, which can be called unscrupulous.

More thoughtful and delicate people peeked into the emperor's thoughts, appeased the princes, relatives, and close clans, and looked at these candidates, the emperor was afraid that he would hit the world's heroes and those nobles who had not helped him.

The Han law is like a net, densely woven, how can there be anyone in the world who does not violate the Han law?

Even if he was an emperor, he didn't dare to say that he didn't break the law, which was why the former Empress Dowager Lu Ying was angry.

"Your Majesty, the majesty of the law is unquestionable, but harsh judgment is not appropriate, and the ministers are very worried, the fatigue of the world has made the officials and the people haggard, and the use of serious laws will make the people more difficult.

A hundred years ago, when the Han Dynasty was founded, it was also so tired, Empress Gao, Emperor Xiaohui, King Luowen and Emperor Xiaowen all used loose laws to govern the country, so the world soon prospered.

Your Majesty, the people of the world have high hopes for you, and hope that you can recreate a prosperous world, and the ministers think that they should follow suit. ”

The prosperity of the founding of the Han Dynasty was the prosperity pursued by the entire Han Dynasty from literati and doctors to the princes and kings, and it was the closest to the royal rule recorded in the classics.

Hearing what the prime minister said, Liu Yi had already groaned and said, "Is the law to make the people more lonely?

It is to deal with riots and prohibit adultery.

Emperor Su once said: 'Etiquette, the sect of the world, the life of all the people, the highest rites lead the people to be kings, and the lower rites steal the heavens and deceive the people as thieves.' ’

I deeply believe that the law should make the living free from resentment, so that the dead can look at it, and such a law is enough to call it a courtesy.

What the prime minister said is reasonable, and he issued my edict, and the ministers who are in charge of the embroidered clothes and imperial history are in charge of keeping the order, and if they have any spies, they will report to me, and they must not act without authorization.

Prime Minister, Imperial Doctor, I decree that the punishment of the punishment will be relaxed, but it will never be lenient, obstructive to the peasants, cruel to the people, and murder for no reason, I will never forgive!

I have never heard of the officials who can rule the world without justice, and the income of the small officials in the township is three points of lulu and seven points of anointment, and the court gives too little, so it is really difficult to let them not encroach on the people's assets, so increase their twenty stone of lulu so that they do not encroach on the people.

I have given grace, and if there is any more transgression, no one will be able to blame me again. ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent."

For this emperor, there is no dissatisfaction with the heroes of Jingnan, from this emperor, they really see the shadow of Emperor Xiaowen.

The reason why Liu Ai agreed with the prime minister's opinion so quickly was because he had seen among the people how those officials benefited by distorting the law.

He knew very well that when there was no good way to control the grassroots officials, the best way was to relax the law for the people, which was called "courtesy is not inferior to the common people" in the Bang Zhou era, that is, there was no need to restrain and punish the common people with strict etiquette.

Corresponding to it is "not the doctor", that is, the doctor violated the etiquette law, should commit suicide directly, do not let the Son of Heaven personally use the ritual law to punish, the Han family profoundly inherited this tradition, Liu Dan committed suicide after the death of more than 2,000 stone of high-ranking officials and princes as many as double digits.

The edict was agreed.

The speed of the imperial court was very fast, Liu Yi had already selected a group of his cronies, and the people of Chang'an City soon saw many officials dressed in embroidered clothes carrying the scepters given by the emperor to the counties directly under the imperial court.

The powerful and powerful people living in Sili never dreamed that they had just experienced a wave of political purges, followed by another wave of lawlessness.

Only a few of the brightest people can see that the real purpose of the new emperor is to completely eliminate those unstable elements through repeated purges.

This is to completely wash Guanzhong into a loyal to his basic plate, and this is to rebuild the good family of Guanzhong counties when Emperor Xiaowu was in power.

Kanto is too strong!

is so strong that the emperor is frightened, Liu Ying has listened to the advice of the queen mother, and is unwilling to liquidate the heroes of Jingnan, but it does not mean that he will always let the heroes of Jingnan override his head.

The Jingnan Hero did not have the idea of making him a puppet emperor, but the Jingnan Hero had the ability to make him a puppet emperor, and he wanted everyone in the world to see that he was a powerful emperor.

Sometimes it's not a good thing for the lord to be weak and the minister to be strong.

The first year of Yuan Feng, May.

The three sons of the embroidered royal history Wuyang Hou Shu concealed the lawlessness and reprimanded him.

Yushi knelt down and complained, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, this is the fault of the minister."

The powerful and powerful illegally tried to embezzle the people's land and property, but the people did not obey and colluded with the officials to cause the people to break down and lose their homes, which is really a great crime.

The minister should have told His Majesty, but thinking that His Majesty often remembers the truth of filial piety, the minister really doesn't want to embarrass you. ”

Filial piety, unwillingness, as soon as these two words came out, Liu Ying already knew that the offender must be the royal family, and he was also an elder who was not easy to deal with.

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.

If the emperor does something unfilial, then the joke is too big, so the son of the Marquis of Wuyang is unwilling to say that the emperor doesn't know, then there is no worry about unfilial piety.

But what kind of emperor Liu Yi was, he immediately said: "The way of filial piety?

Is there a way of filial piety that is higher than the maintenance of the ancestors?

Isn't the courtier's allegiance to the monarch equivalent to filial piety?

Emperor Lu was still overthrown in trouble, who would mention the way of loyalty at that time?

Er's father is a hero of the martyrdom, how can he be dismissed by mere words!

If I don't deal with it today, when the society is overturned, the first emperors will definitely point at me and reprimand me angrily.

Who is the sitting?

I have a word first, and I will not spare it! ”

"Sue Your Majesty, it's your aunt and grandmother, the eldest princess of Yang!"

The eldest princess of Yangchang!

The person with the highest rank in today's royal family is the sister of Emperor Xiaowu!

————

Succeeded to the throne, the sea was empty, the people's livelihood was tired, and he said: "I flatter my ancestors, inherit the temple, and only remember the prosperity of Gaowen all night, and think about the righteousness of Emperor Xiaowu, the rule of Gaizhi VI, the monarchs and ministers are concentric, I am a meritorious hero, the upper and lower are harmonious, the sea is peaceful, and virtue is unattainable."

However, the edict of the princess and the prince were lenient, lenient and commuted the punishment, obeyed the people's suffering, persuaded the farmers to teach the mulberry, cheered up the Han family, and took the virtue of the sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. —— "Hanshu Xiaoxuan Benji"
