Chapter Twenty-Nine: Liu Hong, who has only one king

Emperor? That is, Liu Hong?

Liu Jian began to weigh it carefully in his heart.

The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty will definitely support the dispatch of troops, why does Lu Qian dare to say it so sure?

He met Lu Qian's gaze and found that the other party was also holding his beard at the moment, looking at him with a smile, and his heart suddenly woke up.

Oh, it turns out that this Lu Fujun is testing himself openly or secretly, and wants to take the opportunity of today's conversation to test his political literacy.

But he is just a junior disciple recommended by Gongsun Zhan, and he is just appointing himself to the position of a two-hundred-stone soldier Cao Zuoshi, for a person like himself, why should he make a big fuss to test himself?

What is particularly puzzling is that this Lu Fujun also started talking to the emperor with him, and talked about the capital as soon as he came up, is this good?

After all, you have to be careful.

Liu Jian pretended to be stupid and said: "May I ask the prince, why does the Son of Heaven have to support this Northern Expedition?" ”

Lu Qian said slowly: "Can't you think of it? ”

Of course, Liu Jian had to say that he couldn't think of it.

In front of the Taishou who met for the first time, he showed that he could understand the matter of the Son of Heaven of Luoyang, wouldn't that be saying from another angle that he could also see the two thousand stones in front of him through his heart?

Do you know what you want us to do?

This is a taboo in officialdom.

"If you go back to Fujun, you will come back from Wushi Mountain, and you have not left Zhuoxian for half a step for many years, and you really know very little about the things in Beijing."

"Haha, your Lu Shi is in Beijing, and you are your fellow countryman, didn't you mention these things about the imperial court when you exchanged letters during the New Year?"

Liu Jian was not flustered, but said righteously: "The family teacher does not allow us to inquire privately about the political affairs of the DPRK and China on weekdays, and even if there are letters, most of them are to supervise the study of scriptures and the progress of school knowledge, and there are few side words." ”

"Hahaha~!"

When Lu Qian heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that your family Master Lu doesn't want you to be a leader from the bottom of his heart, but just wants you to read the sage scriptures." ”

"It's possible." Liu Jian's expression was quite serious.

"Okay, I'm the Taishou of Zhuo County, and I still have a term of office, can't I understand your thoughts? It's nothing more than a fear that there are many mistakes. ”

Liu Jian hurriedly said: "The last official has no such intention. ”

"I also know your hardships, if you change the old man in your position, I will be as careful as you are, after all, the pros and cons of this are here."

"That's it! Let me mention you a little bit, do you know how many major events happened in Luoyang City after the late spring last year? ”

"Please also ask the prince to explain."

"It's impossible for you not to know about the world's major events, do you have to say it?"

Liu Jian just smiled, but didn't open his mouth.

Lu Qian sighed, and secretly said in his heart, the first time he saw Shangguan, but he was so calm and restrained, how to fiddle with him just didn't squeak!

There is a castle.

But this time he really thought wrong, Liu Jian actually really forgot what happened this year.

Not modest at all.

"Okay, seeing that you are a newcomer, I will pick the key points and tell you, at this time last year, the eunuch Wang Fu was sentenced to death for Yang Fangzheng, and the next month Duan drank the donkey, and then Yang Fangzheng and the other four were falsely accused by Cao Eun and punished for death, I say so, if you still can't think of it, then the next big thing, I am afraid I will entrust you with it."

When Liu Jian heard this, he sighed in his heart, it turned out to be because of this incident.

……

Some things need to be sorted out from the beginning.

The current emperor Liu Hong, since he ascended the throne at the age of ten, has been devoted to the great cause of fighting for power with the various forces in the court and being seized by various forces.

Imagine that when Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager Dou sat in the deep palace of Luoyang as a major force;

Chen Fan, Li Ying, and Dou Wu regrouped into a major force;

Cao Jie, Wang Fu, Zhang Rang and Qingliu are incompatible, and they are one force;

Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, adheres to the belief of 'brother to brother', not only thinks that he can be the son of heaven, but also a faction;

The Yuan family, the Zhou family, and the Yang family among the ministers of the family watched coldly, and they were also a faction, which can be described as a hundred flowers contending, each fighting for beauty.

In this complicated situation, Liu Hong miraculously ascended to the top.

You must know that Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, is the younger brother of Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty, especially before Liu Zhi died, he changed Liu Kui's rank back to the king of the county, which may reflect a little bit of "brother to brother".

Liu Kui also adheres to this belief, and declares to the outside world that no matter what the conditions are, I am the most suitable to be the emperor, which of you dares to disobey me?

The result is that the eunuch, the queen, and the family really have no one to pay attention to him.

You're so crazy before you become an emperor, you can't take off when you become an emperor?

So, as soon as everyone discusses it on weekdays, let's just choose one of the descendants of the King of Hejian.

Who made Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, the grandfather of Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Kui quit directly after he found out.

Thou art male! You've got in your brains, right? Emperor Han Huan, his own brother is here, you don't choose it, why are you pulling my grandfather?

The problem is that all the forces are invariably going to pull the grandfather of Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty, as for Liu Kui himself......

Love is not dead!

In the end, after several rounds of games by major forces, they tested each other, and Liu Hong made his debut.

There are roughly three reasons why Liu Hong is favored by various forces:

One is a good age, young and strong, only twelve years old, you see Liu Zhi is too old, he died at the age of thirty-six, and he still does not obey discipline.

The second is that the family background is good, his father died early, and his mother's family is not bullshit, of course, it would be the most perfect if both parents died, but unfortunately there are still some flaws after all.

The third is that the level is good, the village cadre-level desecration pavilion waiting, every day can communicate with the pavilion chief-level figures about national affairs, his title is not big, but such a person has a clean foundation.

Liu Hong entered the court like this, he was alone at the age of twelve, and he couldn't even follow his mother at the beginning, because there was a queen mother Dou in the palace, where was there a reason to recruit another queen mother?

This was the status quo when Emperor Ling of Han first ascended the throne, and his young heart was also severely damaged because of this.

There are a bunch of bigwigs inside and outside the court, and he doesn't count if he says a thing inside and outside the court.

Resigned to fate?

Don't admit it!

I'm the Emperor!

In view of this, Liu Hongda's main task since he ascended the throne was to do one thing like crazy......

I want power!

I want power!

I want power!

This emperor has the final say!

But in such harsh conditions, how easy is it to say?

Although after years of hard work, Liu Hong did grasp some power, but compared with the various forces in the court, it was still too small.

If the political struggle is compared to many people fighting the landlord, Liu Hong, the landlord, has the cards in addition to his own king, the rest are small three, small four, small five, not Shun, have to play one by one, the card stinks!

As for the peasants on the other side......

The princess of the family has Xiao Wang and two, and if you can't get out, you will use the protégés and former officials who have swept the world as bombs to blow you up.

The clear stream of the Shi clan has not been fried, and the cards of the problem people are all straight, and the eight horses, eight kitchens, eight and something have never been broken, and the public opinion card is also very smooth.

This means that Qingliu and the clan are not one in interest, and they sometimes have differences of opinion and do not deal with each other, and from time to time they fight each other.

Otherwise, they would definitely give Liu Hong a spring, and the emperor would have to lose an average of 9.6 million happy beans per game.

The emperor brought the eunuchs over to fight the peasants together...... Hey! These shameless eunuchs also steal the emperor's cards from time to time!

Liu Hong looked at the good cards in the hands of his peasant friends, and he was angry.

But there is no way, the cards are issued in the sky, so make do with it.

Hit Zhang Xiaosan first and set up Shizhong Temple!

But the Han Dynasty originally only had nine temples in Jiuqing, and the servant was separated from the Shaofu to establish the tenth temple separately, what is this for?

It's simple, I want to serve the middle temple province Shangshu! You surrender the power of Shang Shutai to me.

The power of Shangshuling has changed over the years, and it has changed a lot so far, and the power of the three dukes has been hollowed out to a certain extent, and the certificates are all from Shangshu, so who can "record Shangshu affairs", which is extremely important for those in power.

As a result, suddenly one day a eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, there is a strange news in Shizhong Temple, a hen there has become a rooster!" ”

Liu Hong's face was as ugly as swallowing a fly raw.

What does it mean?

"Could it be that Shizhong Temple also wants to compete for power? 》

Yes! You guys are amazing, three can't work, I fight four!

I want to summon dozens of filial sons of Xuanling, all of whom are except for the prince!

Xuanling is Liu Zhi's mausoleum, Xuanling filial piety is a group of people who ran to guard the filial piety of the first emperor, and they are filial piety for me.

Of course, there is a problem, people from Taixue have to take the exam to pass the exam, and then they can take the prince house, and then take the Lang Guan, you directly let a group of crying graves be the prince, what do you want to do?

Do you want to bypass the century-old talent election system and directly have the final say? Or do you want to arrange your cronies in the imperial court? Your Majesty...... Wash and sleep!

Liu Zhiqi's face turned red, 3, 4 is not good, it's okay for me to fight two or five, right?

I have sent an inspector to inspect the world and investigate the problems of your clan officials!

Okay, Your Majesty, you can check, but you have checked and arrested so many people, why do you want to pardon your wet nurse's son-in-law Yang Qiu? It's not kind, people do things fairly, why don't you send people to inspect something?

You guys...... You guys......

Liu Hongqi's red face turned green!

I'll hit three more eights!

The students of your clan in Taixue are too rampant, and you actually bribed the supervisor to change the Lantai lacquer book, the only general textbook of the Han Dynasty! The textbooks have been scrapped by you! It can't be used! I want to re-correct the teaching materials and establish the Xiping Stone Scripture!

Standing Stone Sutra? Is it this article? Well, those who are in power in the court are all protégés of the current scriptures, as long as the stone scriptures are not the wild paths of those people in the ancient scriptures...... It's been there!

A ten! I established Hongdu Gate School, and since then Taixue is not the only national university in Dahan, and the students in my Hongdu School can also become officials!

Your Majesty, if you want to build a university, you can build it, but why do you want to build an art college? Why are these graduates either painting, calligraphy, and reciting poetry?

I'm glad, you don't care! I like to learn poetry and painting, so I let the students of Hongdu learn art subjects and become officials, how about it?

At this time, the eunuch stretched out his hand and secretly filmed.

Your Majesty, I'm sorry, your ten is an old slave, and we also want to install some of our people in the imperial court through the Hongdu Academy.

Liu Hong: "......"

I'm a king!

It is necessary to strengthen the three mutual laws! And eunuchs, I won't smash your party card with the king!

Your Majesty, are you flipping the table? It's not fun, is it? We've got a bomb!

……

After Liu Hong ascended to the throne, every incident reflected his spirit of not admitting defeat and insisting on maintaining imperial power, but the effect was really not good.

has been fighting like this for many years, and Liu Hong's Happy Beans have almost lost.

As for last year's game of fighting the landlord, it was such an ending-

Last year, the powerful ministers of the court, Duan Cheng and Wang Fu, died, but Yang Qiu, the cool official who eradicated the traitors, also got angry because of the sentence "The first to raise the powerful and cunning, is to discuss the rest, and the princess is like the children of the Yuan family, engaged in self-management", and was abandoned by Liu Hong.

To put it bluntly, after Yangqiu dealt with the eunuch Wang Fu and Duan Cheng, the powerful minister of the Liangzhou department, he wanted to deal with the clan headed by the Yuan family.

Then his fate is self-evident.

As the god of war in Xiliang, Duan Cheng is really good at fighting, and he also has a set of colluding with eunuchs to fight courtiers, the problem is that he is a little too big.

He first killed Liu Kui, the king of Bohai who was "brother to brother".

At that time, Liu Kui's wife's niece became the queen of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, forming a political combination of relatives and vassal kings, but was uprooted by the eunuch Cao Jie and Wang Fu connected with Duan Cheng and wiped out the entire Bohai King. (Cao Cao was also removed from his position because of his relationship with his brother-in-law Song Qi).

The queens were all killed, and the lives of Wang Fu and Duan Cheng also came to an end.

Liu Hong broke out and used his wet nurse's son-in-law to clean up Duan Cheng and Wang Fu.

I can't move the family, and I can't move you? - I let you steal the cards!

In the end, Duan Cheng and Wang Fu died, and the Yang Ball who got rid of them also died because he couldn't control his mouth.

At this time, Liu Hong found that he seemed to have lost millions of happy beans in this game.

Wang Fu is a eunuch giant, Duan Cheng is a powerful minister of the Liangzhou system, and Yang Qiu is a loyal minister and cool official abandoned by the Son of Heaven, and the protégés and former officials led by these dead people, who will they serve in the future?

Especially Duan Cheng's Liangzhou subordinates!

Will he vote for the prince of the Kanto clan?

There is no doubt that in the tragic decisive battle in Beijing last year, the eunuchs, the representatives of the military merit and the imperial power, who hid behind and reaped the benefits, actually failed.

The winner is the representative of the clan headed by the Yuan family who is inconspicuous in this battle.

Judging from Liu Hong's character that has been tossing and turning over the years, this result is unbearable for him.

But it is a sure thing for the family to reap the profits, how to break this situation in a short time?

War!

You bastards, I will not give you beans this time!

Do you want to co-opt the remnants of Duan Cheng and Wang Fu's forces in the local area? Can't do it!

I'm looking for an opportunity to fight and cut you off!

I see who are the Liangzhou martial artists who serve in Bingzhou?

Perhaps the best result for Liu Hong is to fight a few more duans through war.

……

"What the prince said is right, Your Majesty is planning for the world, for the stability of the court, and for the situation of the Han Dynasty, he will definitely fight! It's just that in the court, it seems that those old and important ministers may not be allowed. ”

Liu Jian's words were quite clever, not only answering Lu Qian's question lightly, but also asking him an important question based on his question.

If the imperial power wants to break the current situation, it needs to fight, but as the ministers of the family who had vested interests in last year, will they be willing?

There are Situ Yuan Kui and Taichang Yang Ci here.

"Therefore, if you want to accomplish this matter, you must achieve the unity of the whole body, and the local officials will jointly sign a name to create momentum and give Your Majesty a reason to make a direct decision in the court, so that it can be done."

Liu Jian nodded suddenly, and after saying so much, he finally began to understand the position of Lu Qian and the others.

These people are not the ministers of the family, but they are a clear stream.

In all fairness, the group of Qingliushi clan, among the factions at all levels of the Han Dynasty, is relatively fair, in addition to not sharing the sky with the eunuchs, they can still maintain fairness and objectivity most of the time in the-for-tat confrontation between the imperial family and the ministers of the family, including foreign relatives.

The premise is not to touch their interests.

Lu Qian continued: "After the change of Luoyang last year, most of the officials of our border counties should still agree with the matter of leaving the fortress, especially the soldiers of the border counties who have suffered from Xianbei for many years and have many will for revenge, but there are three people who may not be willing to respond at the moment, and these three people are still important people. ”

"Dare to ask who the three are the princes talking about?"

"Tao Gongzu, the outgoing Youzhou Thorn Shi, as well as Liu Bo'an, the incoming Youzhou Thorn Shi, and Dong Zhongying, the Thorn Shi of Youzhou."
