In 180 BC, Liu Heng ascended the throne in the Qunchen Mountain Hu Long Live Mountains.

No matter how thrilling the court situation was before, no matter how depressed the minister was, it has become a thing of the past. After a short period of life-and-death struggle, the three huge power chariots of the clan, the relatives, and the ministers finally ended in the victory of the alliance between the clan and the minister.

Liu Heng wanted to create his own era, and in the days of the acting palace, he once thought about how he would govern this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains if he was in a high position one day? In order to answer this question, he once immersed himself in various classics to obtain nutrition, and he also continued to learn the methods of his father and the queen of high school.

After eight years of high school, Liu Heng's life was not easy, watching his relatives die one by one, he even felt trembling as if he was walking on thin ice. However, he has come over, and only Liu Heng can truly appreciate the taste of this hard life. Therefore, even if the empire under the control of the Empress Gao is still vibrant, it is still very far from Liu Heng's ideal country.

For the prosperity in my heart, Liu Heng, start working hard!

Liu Heng is only twenty-three years old, but his perseverance and calmness are far beyond his age. What he couldn't imagine was that he would get the throne in such a way. The current Liu Heng is not a high and powerful position, but the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and the king of a country that everyone in the world has to bow to and worship.

On the night of entering the front hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Heng, in order to stabilize the situation, took the lead in controlling the northern and southern armies guarding the capital, and issued an edict of amnesty overnight.

Liu Heng's composure and steadiness made everyone marvel at the sophistication of the new emperor. In the imagination of the ministers, Liu Heng, a remote prince and king, is just a person with a good reputation, and there are only a few things in such a desolate place as a country all year round, how can it be compared with the mysteries of the imperial court, but Liu Heng's performance that day was like a political veteran, and he used good steel on the blade just right.

Chen Ping saw his unprecedented imperial talent in the new emperor, which made the stone in Chen Ping's heart finally fall to the ground, after so many years in the imperial court, he understood better than anyone that there were many speculators among the ministers, these people ostensibly recognized Liu Heng's courtesy, filial piety and benevolence, but in fact they all had other small calculations, if Liu Heng was like Liu Ying, except for leniency, and had no means, then in the end he would still become someone else's puppet. In this way, then what is the face of him Chen Ping and his group of old ministers to meet Gaozu?

However, Liu Heng's orders on the night of his entry into Weiyang Palace clearly told everyone that his level was enough to lead this young empire to prosperity and strength.

Liu Heng's later actions further proved Chen Ping's judgment, Liu Heng would become a generation of saints. All he had to do was familiarize the future Saint Monarch with government affairs as soon as possible.

Liu Heng ascended the throne in September, ascended the throne and worked hard for a month, and finally had leisure.

In order to repay the ministers and clans who supported him, Liu Heng decided to pay them immediately.

In the Zhou Bo'an Liu incident, Chen Ping is the mastermind, and Zhou Bo is the commander, the credit of the two is almost equal, if both of them are promoted, Zhou Bo can only be promoted to prime minister, and Chen Ping was originally the prime minister, but there is only one prime minister, which looks a little difficult to do.

But Liu Heng was not stumped by the problem, he followed Xiaohui and re-divided the prime minister into the left prime minister and the right prime minister. Liu Heng originally wanted Chen Ping to serve as the right prime minister of the highest official position, but Chen Ping insisted that Zhou Bo's merits were greater than his own, and it was appropriate for Zhou Bo to be the right prime minister, and he could be the left prime minister.

Chen Ping has been in the position of prime minister for more than ten years, and he knows better than anyone that it is the most difficult to be the head of a hundred officials, and if he is not talented, he will have to come down sooner or later. Moreover, Zhou Bo's personality Chen Ping knows very well that Zhou Bo is not only brave but also fights for merit, killing the Lu family, Zhou Bo has always believed that he is the first hero, so if he does not give him the position of the head of the hundred officials, I am afraid that he will lose the good situation of peace for decades, which is greatly unfavorable to the new emperor. Therefore, I didn't let Zhou Bo go to the fire pit to roast it, and let him experience it slowly.

As a result, Chen Ping persuaded Liu Heng, and Liu Heng appointed Chen Ping as the left prime minister and Zhou Bo as the right prime minister. The general of the cavalry was promoted to the rank of lieutenant.

In this way, the young Liu Heng reconstructed the balance of power in the court without leaving a trace.

Different from Chen Ping's calmness when he was rewarded, Zhou Bo walked out of Weiyang Palace with an arrogant face after being appointed by the right prime minister, and Emperor Wen looked at his back as he went out, very respectful. Zhou Bo's posture was seen by a benevolent brother, and he was dissatisfied.

His name is Yuan An.

Yuan Ang was a Zhonglang at the time, and he was a retainer in Lu Chan and Lu Lu's mansion, after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he was recommended by his brother Yuan Hao to be a Zhonglang general, he was witty and eloquent, and he was outspoken, Yuan An's character and talent were destined to become a man of the year in the court after all, and many years later he would single-handedly concoct a big injustice.

This benevolent brother is very brave, not long after Lu Chan's limelight has passed, he dared to run to Liu Heng to sue Zhou Bo, if he is a timid person, he is afraid to avoid it, and wait for the limelight to pass.

Yuan Ang saw Liu Heng and asked, "Who does Your Majesty look like?" ”

Liu Heng was a little puzzled: "Self-explanatory, the important minister of the society? ”

Yuan Ang shook his head and said: "No, the prime minister is a hero, not a minister of the society, the minister thinks that His Majesty is too respectful to the prime minister, and the prime minister does not know how to introspect and retreat, but has an arrogant face, this is not the way of the monarch and the minister, the minister privately thinks that His Majesty should not treat the prime minister with such a respectful attitude." ”

After listening to this, Liu Heng was shocked and agreed with Yuan An's statement, but Liu Heng was silent and noncommittal.

Liu Heng didn't know the way of the monarch and the minister, but his foothold was unstable, so he could only entrap and tolerate the minister. So even if Yuan An's suggestion is correct, he can't make an obvious statement.

Yuan Ang is a smart man, he saw that Liu Heng was noncommittal, and he didn't say anything, so he could only retire abruptly.

What is surprising is that Zhou Bo soon became a foreign minister in the position of right minister.

In April of the first year of Emperor Wen, Liu Heng asked Zhou Bodao in the court: "How many cases are there in the world that have been sentenced to prison in a year?" Zhou Bo panicked when he heard this, and replied that he didn't know. Liu Heng asked again: "How much money valley is in and out of a year?" Zhou Bo suddenly sweated, still didn't know. Liu Heng saw that Zhou Bo didn't know what to ask, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face became a little unsightly. Liu Heng asked Chen Ping, and Chen Ping replied: "Your Majesty can go and ask the master!" ”

"Who's in charge?"

"Your Majesty asks for the prison and finds the court lieutenant; Ask Qian Gu and find the commander of Su Du! ”

"Oh, if there are all principals, then what's the use of the prime minister?"

"The prime minister is the son of heaven, the people are governed, the princes are appeased outside, and the people are attached to the inside, so that the officials and ministers can perform their duties!"

Liu Heng smiled and nodded. After listening to Chen Ping's answer, Zhou Bo's face immediately turned red.

On the way down to the court, Zhou Bo secretly found Chen Ping and complained, "Why don't you teach me?" ”

Chen Ping smiled: "Brother Zhou, as the right minister, why is he not even clear about his responsibilities?" If His Majesty asks how many thieves there are in Chang'an, is it strong? ”

When Zhou Bo heard this, he was speechless for a while, thinking that it was really difficult to be the head of a hundred officials, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to resign and quit. In August, Liu Heng issued an order to dismiss Zhou Bo, cancel the distinction between the left and right phases, and Chen Ping was appointed full-time prime minister.

In the process of Liu Heng's reward, most people were very happy, such as Liu Zexi's title of King Yan, and he finally got rid of the troubles of the princes of a small country. Ji Tong, Liu Jie, and others were honorably enthroned.

There are happy people, and there are depressed people.

The three Liu Xiang brothers are very unbalanced.

It was his Liu Zhang's credit to kill Lu Chan, and it was Liu Xingju who went to Weiyang Palace to clear the field. They fought on the front line with their heads up, which can be described as a great achievement, but in addition to getting some food and rewards, the title has not been changed, and the official position has not been promoted, what was before and what is still now. As a benchmark figure in the anti-Lu group in the Liu royal family, Liu Zhang has a stomach full of grievances. Originally, he wanted to rely on the merit of killing Lu Chan to make a prince and a king, but now he is still wearing the hat of the marquis, can he not be depressed?

Liu Zhang's stomach complained and could only be suppressed in his heart. Having said that, Liu Zhang didn't wonder Liu Heng was unkind to him, at the beginning, Liu Zhang's purpose in killing the Lu family was to welcome his eldest brother Liu Xiang, but Liu Zhang's secrecy work was not done well, so Liu Heng knew. Although Liu Heng is lenient, he is not stupid, and he will not turn over the old accounts. But Liu Zhang's understanding is not high, and he always feels that Liu Heng is sorry for him.

Until the second year of Emperor Wen (179 BC), Liu Heng noticed the complaints of Liu Zhang's brothers, and while wantonly sealing the king, he also sealed the two brothers by the way, Liu Zhang was the king of Chengyang, and Liu Xingju was the king of Jibei.

Liu Xiang's depression lies in the fact that the throne was about to be obtained, but he was forcibly disturbed by Liu Ze.

What mother's family is too prosperous, it will bring the second Lu family. The more Liu Xiang thought about it, the more angry he became, and even thought about handing over a letter to Liu Ze on a charge of retaliation.

Liu Xiang was depressed, and he became ill, and he hung up in August of the first year of Emperor Wen.

Although his brother Liu Zhang was named the king of Chengyang, he was far from the big country that Liu Zhang wanted, and he was also depressed and sick, and he stayed up until April of the third year of Emperor Wen, and he also hung up.

Liu Xingju was left alone to continue to be depressed, he counted the anger of the eldest brother and the second brother early death on Liu Heng's head, in May of the third year of Emperor Wen, when Liu Heng went to the hometown of Dai to revisit, he took risks and rebelled, and his army was also the first evil example of the rebellion of the princes with the same surname. A month later, it was extinguished by Liu Heng with lightning speed.

In August of the third year of Emperor Wen, Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, committed suicide in prison.

Of course, the rest of the three Liu Xiang brothers did not have much impact on the imperial court. However, the death of several other important ministers and elders caused changes in the situation of the court.

In March of the first year of Emperor Wen, Liu Jiaoxu, the king of Chu Yuan.

In the winter of the second year of Emperor Wen, Chen Pingxu.

Emperor Wen was four years old, and he was filled with baby stalks.

…

Liu Heng said goodbye to one by one, although their death was a loss for the imperial court, it also made room for Liu Heng to show his strengths.

For the arrival of the prosperous era, Liu Heng resolutely took over the scepter in the hands of his fathers and moved forward without hesitation.
