Zhang Rang, who stood behind him with his head bowed, was respectful and cautious.

Once, he and the Marquis of Liwu at that time were neither big nor small, and the master and servant were like brothers.

But the longer he waited, the stranger he felt about the person in front of him, and he was no longer an approachable little master.

It's an unfathomable emperor.

"Let's go."

After being silent for a long time, Liu Zhi said lightly, and walked down the city tower, after the blood, it was a sunny day.

Now it's time for him to show the forgiveness and love of an emperor.

"Spread the edict of the Hanlin Academy, immediately issue an edict, and those who take the initiative to confess their crimes will be punished lightly as appropriate."

As soon as this edict came out, the world was boiling, and the tense hearts of the families were relaxed a lot. It seems that the first evil has been eliminated, and His Majesty does not plan to kill more.

At this time, Liu Zhi was in a happy mood, he had thought about this big move for a long time, and he was always worried that he would not be able to control the situation and control it.

Now, under the joint operation of a group of new reform talents, there is finally a thrilling pass.

Although there are still some minor troubles in the future, it is generally fine and there is no need to worry.

Through this series of actions, he has gradually established his authority and has mastered most of the military power.

Now, he can finally start reforming with confidence and boldness to ensure that in just a few years, the country will be gradually put on the right track.

As for recreating the glory of the Han Kingdom in the past, the Eastern Han Dynasty was too weak and had a insufficient foundation, and I am afraid it will take a long time to achieve it.

Walking down the Suzaku Gate Tower, Liu Zhi went straight to Yong'an Palace, today is his eighteenth birthday, Empress Dowager Yun and Deng Guiren have already organized a table of good wine and food, waiting for him to celebrate.

If placed in the later life, he would have been an adult at the age of eighteen, but he was crowned at the age of twenty in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so although he had already married and had children, theoretically speaking, he was still a minor teenager.

In the past few years, under his leadership, the palace has gradually begun to pay attention to birthdays.

Whether it is his birthday, the Queen Mother's birthday, or the birthday of Deng Meng and other members of the royal family, a small celebration ceremony will be held.

It is said that this trend has gradually become popular among scholars, and even some people have begun to follow suit.

I believe that it will become a new custom in a few years, after all, the emperor himself is the image spokesperson to add fuel to the fire.

Over the years, he has personally served as an image spokesperson, and the most satisfying thing is the popularity of crotch pants.

Never worry about the wind blowing again...... It's gone down there.

Yong'an Palace is warm and peaceful, and the bloody scene outside the Xia Gate is completely two worlds, walking into the main hall, just now there was a majestic and dignified emperor, but at this moment his steps are brisk, smiling.

It seemed that a different person was changed in an instant, "Mother, what good dishes did you cook for the child today?" ”

Empress Dowager Yun teased Princess Yang'an in her arms, her eyes gentle, "It's all fierce girls who are busy, and I'm here to enjoy my leisure." ”

Deng Meng turned around and laughed crisply, "It's not that my mother arranged it, the concubine is just running errands." ”

These days, Liu Zhi's government affairs are getting busier and busier, and he rarely has time to visit the Empress Dowager Yun, and Deng Meng brings his children over to greet her every day.

Under Deng Meng's deliberate management, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is becoming more and more harmonious, and now that the child is half a year old, the Empress Dowager Yun rarely mentioned the matter of being Concubine Liu Zhina.

Even the clan and ministers have tacitly chosen to remain silent, of course, this period is not unlimited.

At most, for a year and a half, if Deng Meng can't get pregnant again or give birth to a prince, the harem will definitely be lively at that time.

Half of this year and a half is due to Deng Yan's contributions, and at this point, whether she has a chance to ascend to the back seat depends on her own life.

This is a typical family banquet, more than half of the thirty-six dishes are Liu Zhi's favorite food, and the rest are all in line with the taste of the Empress Dowager Yun.

Liu Zhi only glanced at it slightly, and then understood Deng Meng's good intentions.

Twelve hot dishes, plus twelve cold dishes, four soups, four vegetarians and four pastries, are the most luxurious dishes that Dahan can do today.

Braised deer tendon, stewed fish lips, roasted wild suckling pig, tiger bone soup...... They are all delicacies that are difficult to taste in modern times.

On weekdays, the Empress Dowager Yun advocates frugality, and with the respect of the Empress Dowager, she only eats some very ordinary meat, fish and vegetables, and there are at most four or five dishes in a meal.

When she eats less, she usually uses a few chopsticks, and the rest is given to those who serve her closely.

Only when facing her son Liu Zhi will she be extravagant and wasteful, for fear that he will not eat happily, but this motherly heart makes him enjoy it as an emperor.

On this year's birthday, Liu Zhi was promoted to become a father, and with a lovely child, there was a lot of joy at the banquet.

Princess Yang'an is only five months old, and she is still breastfeeding, of course, Deng Meng cannot feed herself, after all, as a woman in the harem, serving her husband well is the most important task.

The little princess has a very lively temperament, babbling and making trouble, and she loves the Empress Dowager so much that she even holds her arms for dinner, and is reluctant to let go.

"Zhi'er, you and the fierce girl still need to work hard, I hope that when you are born next year, you will be able to add a new Ding."

Empress Dowager Yun stared at Deng Meng's flat lower abdomen with infinite concern, which made Liu Zhi feel very stressed.

He is already very diligent, whether it is good or not, but this kind of thing as having a child, it is not hard work that will have results, it still depends on fate.

I don't know why, most of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty have few heirs, and it is his turn to be a traverser, and nothing has changed.

Could it be that there is really the word "luck" in the dark?

The family talked and laughed, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, and even Princess Yiyang, who was shy on weekdays, plucked up the courage to toast the emperor's brother.

Before he finished eating, the waiter came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Xu Zhonglang will ask to see you." ”

Xu Huang?

This is not an eyeless lord, something must have happened, Liu Zhi got up quietly and smiled at the Empress Dowager Yun.

"Mother, there have been a lot of things these days, I'll go over and take a look, you continue to eat, don't wait for me."

The Empress Dowager Yun is not an unreasonable person, knowing that he has serious things to do, he can't delay, so he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Go ahead, let's go, don't worry, let's enjoy it slowly."

Liu Zhi walked out of Yong'an Palace with a smile, and asked in a deep voice when he saw Xu Huang.

"If there's something, let's talk about it as we go."

He boarded the royal chariot, rolled up the curtain, and Xu Huang followed beside him and whispered.

"Your Majesty, there are secret reports in Yizhou, and there are demons spreading around to accept disciples and build religions, and there are like clouds, and now there are 100,000 disciples."

"Demon Dao?"

Liu Zhi's heart froze, and somehow he thought of the Yellow Turban Uprising, didn't Zhang Jiao use to spread morality and draw talismans to cure diseases to envelop the congregation?

But before that, I hadn't heard of a large-scale cult organization? Was it a mistake, or was it because he changed history, so the Yellow Turban Rebellion was also advanced?

"Show me it."

Xu Huang hurriedly handed over the secret report, and Liu Zhi saw the name "Wudou Rice Sect" at a glance, and only felt very familiar.

Looking further down, the Church advocates the tomb, but it has the same name and surname as the Cheng Zhang Ling in the imperial history.

This sect leader Zhang is even more noble, he is the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang, the founding military advisor, and he is now 115 years old.

If there is no fraud, he is indeed a master of the world.

After reading it, Liu Zhi became more and more familiar with it, and suddenly realized, isn't this Zhang Tianshi, the founder of the Zhengyi Sect?

To say that in later generations, Zhang Tianshi's name is much louder than his Liu Zhike, and he has enjoyed royal worship for generations.

The Celestial Master family has been passed down from generation to generation, no matter how the dynasty changes, it can remain unmoved, and it is another family that has been worshiped by the dynasty after the Confucian family.

Until the 21st century, the Celestial Master family was still able to stand tall and enjoy the incense of the people.

In this way, isn't it much stronger than him, the emperor?

Zhang Tianshi founded orthodox Taoism, how could it be a cult, there must be something strange in this, could someone deliberately falsely accuse him?

Putting down the secret report, Liu Zhi thought for a while before asking, "Who told the whistleblower?" ”

Xu Huang immediately bowed down and replied, "It's the bell keeper of Qingcheng County, Yizhou." ”

Qingcheng County Guard?

Reporting in his capacity, no wonder Xu Huang will attach so much importance to it, Liu Zhi frowned, this time ...... It's a bit of a coincidence.

He is making a big effort to rectify the rule of local officials, and this Zhong Chu has come to such a good show, if he doesn't happen to know the details, he will definitely track it down to the end.

Then, the rectification of Qingcheng County will be confused.

Qingcheng County ...... A big county in Shuzhong, what kind of earth-shattering case does Zhong Chu bother to conceal?

Hehe~ Interesting.

The corners of Liu Zhi's mouth rose, and he smiled in a dangerous arc.

"Let's go, we're going to have a good plan for this."

Xu Huang was completely puzzled by His Majesty's mysterious reaction, but the emperor had his own deep meaning, how could he speculate at will.

Hum! One by two, don't think that he has already killed the Han Yan clan, and he will not act rashly anymore, it seems that he really underestimated the energy of these people.

Take risks for the sake of profit, and you can do anything.

But this time they can't wonder that he is ruthless, heaven is evil, it is forgivable, people are evil, and they can't live!

You brought it upon yourself.

Liu Zhi came to the nearby Deyang Hall and entered the study with Xu Huang.

"This Five Doumi Sect has already sent people to investigate before, although there are many believers, all over the country in seven or eight states.

But it is indeed a pure Taoist sect, adhering to the essence of Lao Zhuang, quiet and inactive, leading people to goodness. ”

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Liu Zhi's smile just now, "In this way, is it a misunderstanding of Qingcheng County Shou?" ”

"That's not good."

Liu Zhi shook his head and smiled, "Otherwise, I will send an inspector to the Imperial History to investigate the matter of the Five Dou Mi Sect."

You send someone to Qingcheng County with you to secretly investigate Zhong Chu to see if it was a misunderstanding or an intentional act. ”

Xu Huang immediately received the order, "The minister will definitely investigate carefully and find out the strangeness clearly." ”

"Well, on the Xia Gate side, except for the main culprit Han Yan and others, who hung their bodies for public display, the rest of the people were directly dragged to the mass grave for burial."

If it weren't for the intent on intimidating others, Liu Zhike didn't like to hang up all over people's heads, so far, he has only given orders, and has not personally experienced those bloody scenes.

"No, Your Majesty is merciful."

Liu Zhi smiled in his heart, now he has long been unable to match the word benevolence, his heart is getting harder and harder, and sometimes even he feels terrible.

"Okay, you and Yang Jian have worked hard these days, put those people in prison, and if there is any trouble, they will be extinguished immediately."

It's easy to have your own forbidden army, and it's much more comfortable than dealing with those courtiers who have a lot of fancy intestines.

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was going to establish the East Factory later, it was indeed convenient to command.

Xu Huang agreed to go down, Liu Zhi simply sat down to deal with the music, he had to deal with a lot of government affairs every day.

There are daily reports from various states and counties, and some are played according to events, including secret reports from the army and Long Linwei.

In such a big country, getting rid of those trivial things, there are so many big things that it is a headache, and it is too busy to review and deal with them day and night.

Alas~ Now he really knows what it means to be in a good day.

It's not easy to be an emperor who is diligent and loves the people.

Suddenly, a military newspaper from the state caught his attention, and he had been busy rectifying the administration of officials recently, and had not focused on the war for a few days.

This is a piece sent by the state assistant through Long Linwei, and he routinely reports the military situation in the state.

After they captured the Wuhuan leader Qiantai Bird with a trick, they wanted to use the process of exchange to raid the Wuhuan tribe.

He had already submitted this plan to Liu Zhi last time, but this time there has been a new change.

It turned out that after Qiantai Bird was captured, his brother Gebuta saw that he could not miss the opportunity, and he actually had a different idea, wanting to take this opportunity to seize the position of leader.

Not only did he refuse to exchange, but he also spread rumors in the tribe that Qiantai Bird had actually been killed by the Han army a long time ago.

Therefore, the previous plan could no longer be implemented, and General Huangfu Gui advocated that Qiantai Bird be put back and let the two brothers kill each other.

Of course, there must be conditions for putting it back, and Qiantai Bird must make some concessions and reach some kind of agreement with them.

Otherwise, you will have to think of another way.

Because the news of Qiantai Bird's arrest had already been transmitted back to the imperial court, the Yulin Army was even sent to merge the state on the grounds of escort.

Therefore, the matter is big, and there are too many personnel involved, and the emperor and the state assistant dare not make decisions without authorization, so they can only ask the emperor for instructions.

Fortunately, Zhou Fu is Liu Zhi's cronies, and he can pass the news to him as quickly as possible through Long Linwei's secret messenger channel.

Otherwise, if you take the right path, more than a month will pass after coming and going, and then the daylily will be cold, and any plan will lose its meaning.

Of course, this plan itself is not in a hurry, and it must be delayed for a few days so that Gebuta can wield more power and compete with Qiantai Bird.

And Qiantai Bird was not forced to despair, and it was impossible to reach a harsh agreement with the Han army.

Militarily, Liu Zhi thought he was not good at it, so he had always instructed the border generals to have the privilege of self-determination in the event of a situation.

I just don't want my blind command to delay the military plane.

Now that Huangfu Gui's request has been sent, he can't judge it for a while, and he doesn't know what to do.

The generals on the side of the Jingshi are qualified to discuss with him, and there are generals and commanders, and he still trusts people, so he really can't find them.

Liu Zhi pondered for a long time, looking at the Han territory map on the opposite wall in a daze.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, yes, how did he forget him.
