Before Liu Heng ascended the throne, he had seriously figured out the situation in the world.

As the saying goes, chance always favors a prepared mind. Liu Heng's series of actions after ascending the throne cannot prove that he is a smart person, but at least it can prove that Liu Heng came prepared.

Liu Heng has always been introverted, and he has a completely different heart from his son Liu Bang. Such a character is not so much innate, but rather tempered in the bloody wind. Back then, as soon as Liu Bang died, Empress Lu took the opportunity to send the palace concubines to send five female eyeliners to the princes and kings.

Liu Heng is naturally no exception. Among the five palace maids with blurred backgrounds sent by Empress Lu, it is unknown which of them is real eyeliner and which is false. But what is amazing is that twenty-year-old Liu Heng actually fell in love with one of the palace maids, surnamed Dou, whose name is unknown, and the film and television drama gave her the name Dou Yifang. This woman is the queen of Dou who has gone through three dynasties, and her fate is also full of legends, and she will be introduced later.

There is a saying that learning from struggle is about struggle. The young Liu Heng has long been familiar with this truth, he can turn danger into disaster, can turn enemies into friends, can turn other people's women into his own women, and finally rely on his good reputation to take the throne step by step.

Therefore, as long as we learn the culture of struggle well, we are not afraid to take up leadership positions.

Liu Heng sealed Song Chang, Zhang Wu and other officials on behalf of the county, and promoted them to the position of Jiuqing, and the old ministers got what they wanted, and they were all happy for a while, without any objections.

When he realized the wonders of power, Liu Heng had his own considerations, the old ministers had high self-service skills, and they were difficult to control, if they didn't add some fresh blood to the central government, they would inevitably hinder themselves from showing their strength.

When Liu Heng was inspecting the achievements of the counties, he heard that Henan County was the first to guard Wu Gong's governance, and Henan County did not close its doors at night under his governance, and the road was not left behind. Moreover, Wu Gong was also a student of Li Si, a famous minister of the previous dynasty, and he can be described as a famous teacher and a high apprentice.

In the first year of Emperor Wen (179 BC), Duke Wu, who Liu Heng had never worked in the central government, was transferred from the local county guard to the central court lieutenant.

Tingwei, one of the three princes and nine secretaries, has a very important duty, not only as a prisoner, but also as a judicial department of the government.

Of course, we are not trying to focus on the situation of Tingwei. What we want to introduce is the "heavyweight" figure who will appear next, and the heavyweight here is not about how high his position is or how heavy his power is.

His level is reflected in the invisible and intangible realm of thought.

His name is Jia Yi. If the Han Dynasty Wencai is ranked, there will definitely be Jia Yi's seat among the top three. Jia Yi is very distinctive. He is not only the inheritor of Qu Yuan's "Sao Ti" poems, but also the founder of Han Fu.

Jia Yi is a genius, the emperor has it all the time, but a genius like Jia Yi can only wait for one in a hundred years. When we open Jia Yi's resume, we will find that this person played a vital role in Han Dynasty literature and Han Dynasty ideology.

Genius in addition to the characteristics of high IQ and strong comprehension. There is always a group of people in the world, they don't need to have a cone and a head, even if they study for an hour a day, they are good at homework.

But Jia Yi is a very diligent genius. It's a genius in the first place, let alone a diligent genius?

In the sixth year of Gaozu (200 BC), Jia Yi was born in Luoyang. At that time, the big **** had ended, and people began to resume production and life.

The young Jia Yi's life was also relatively stable, and the relatively solid family background allowed Jia Yi to get rid of manual labor, and Jia Yi had a reading environment. He is a lover of all schools of thought, and he also loves literature.

Jia Yi is very hardworking and very good at thinking.

He often wrote the results of his thoughts into articles, and gradually, Jia Yi's reputation began to spread far and wide, and at that time, people like Jia Yi who could read and write articles and eloquently won the respect of the locals.

When he was a teenager, Jia Yi met his first master, the equally erudite celebrity Zhang Cang, and under his guidance, Jia Yi's level improved by leaps and bounds.

Under his own hard work and the guidance of famous teachers, five years after high school, Jia Yi has become famous in Henan County.

Jia Yi's reputation finally alarmed Wu Gong, who was the county guard of Henan at the time, and he heard about Jia Yi's talent and immediately summoned him to meet him, and after talking, Wu Gong was sure that this person must be a genius in the world. So he recruited Jia Yi to his disciples and cultivated him carefully.

In the first year of Emperor Wen, Duke Wu was transferred to the central government, and Jia Yi's fate also ushered in a turning point. immediately recommended Jia Yi to Liu Heng. Liu Heng attaches great importance to it, he not only wants to establish his own team as soon as possible, but also wants to see this world-famous genius. Of course, he wanted to test the attitude of the old ministers of the imperial court.

Liu Heng ordered Jia Yi to be recruited as a doctor, and the doctor was an official position to consult the emperor at any time.

The famous Zhang Cang started his political career with a doctorate.

When Jia Yi rushed from Luoyang to Chang'an, people were stunned when they saw his luggage. Everyone else was a cart of luggage supplies, but Jia Yi brought a cart of bamboo slips over.

Liu Heng heard that Jia Yi had brought a cart full of bamboo slips, and he was even more curious. immediately ordered a court meeting attended by the doctors, ready to see Jia Yi's demeanor, and by the way, to see if he had real talent and learning.

At the court meeting the next day, as soon as Liu Heng sat down, Wu Gong briefly introduced Jia Yi to the courtiers.

The veteran ministers did not appreciate it, some coughed a few times, some laughed a few times, and for Jia Yi, they had a look of contempt.

Jia Yi didn't care, when Liu Heng signaled the start of the government, the other doctors were still scratching and scratching, pretending to think, Jia Yi had already slowly come out of the ranks. As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention.

Jia Yilanglang said: "The Han Dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, and now the political situation is stable, but in order to consolidate the rule, it is necessary to reform the bad government!" ”

Hearing the word reform, Liu Heng's eyes suddenly lit up, but immediately it was the same as usual. Although Liu Heng also saw some shortcomings of the empire, he had just ascended the throne and should be cautious about reform. It's okay for Jia Yi to say it, just to test the thoughts of the old ministers, so Liu Heng can only be noncommittal.

At this time, a person shouted and scolded: "Yellow-haired boy, Hugh has to be presumptuous in the court, reform, how to change the law?" I see you kid being alarmist, and I see grandpa turning you into a palace person! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted laughter from the audience.

Jia Yi looked at the gold seal and purple ribbon on the speaker's body, and his words were rude, so he guessed his identity, Jia Yi knew that he was originally from the market, and he naturally spoke more rudely than ordinary people.

He bowed deeply to the man and said, "It must be the right prime minister Zhou Bo is also." ”

The man waved his sleeve and said "hum": "Count you as acquaintances!" ”

Although Jia Yi was very embarrassed, after all, he came prepared, and he didn't panic, he said: "Let the junior finish speaking, it's not too late for the prime minister to scold again!" ”

Liu Heng also persuaded at this time: "Today's discussion of politics is to express their opinions, why don't you listen to him explain and then talk about your opinions!" ”

Jia Yi bowed to Liu Heng again and said: "Your Majesty, there are five proposals for reforming the ministers, one is to change customs, the second is to make regulations, the third is to correct Shuo, the fourth is to change clothes, and the fifth is to correct the name of the official!" This is the minister's recital. ”

Jia Yi presented the bamboo slip in his hand, and the chamberlain took over the chapter, Liu Heng opened it and took a cursory look, and agreed with it in his heart, but he still didn't say anything, just said indifferently: "Jia Qing can explain this matter to the ministers, and the ministers will discuss it!" ”

Jia Yi got Liu Heng's order, so he interpreted each article one by one with an incorruptible tongue, and was interrupted by the ministers from time to time, and Jia Yi could also deal with it calmly.

Liu Heng listened to the words of all parties, admired Jia Yi's talent very much, and after the debate was completed, he planned to give Jia Yi a real power official position and reform the shortcomings.

As soon as this meaning was revealed, one person stood up and said: "No, Jia Yi is young and frivolous, shallow in knowledge, and talking about national affairs is like child's play, Your Majesty must not be bewitched by him?" ”

When Liu Heng saw that this person was a baby, he didn't dare to make a sound.

As soon as the baby took the lead, the old ministers rose up one after another to reprimand Jia Yi.

Liu Heng instantly understood that although he was an emperor, above the court, not everything could go as he wished. He knew that if he continued to fight like this, it would also affect the government, so he no longer insisted, so he could only kindly comfort Jia Yi and disperse.

Jia Yi suffered a loss for the first time in the court, and those old ministers looked at this immature young man, and their eyes were full of contempt.

Jia Yi vaguely heard someone scolding behind his back: "What's the matter, we are all nine dead and one life before we are ranked as ministers, and the yellow-haired boy who has not dried up has a few words around his tongue like ascending to a high position, no way!" ”

Although Jia Yi expected that there would be resistance from the previous dynasty, and he did his homework because of this, he did not expect that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would compete with him.

Is it wrong to serve the country and the people? After thinking about it for a while, the young Jia Yi became relaxed.

After laughing, there was a sense of loss, in an instant. Jia Yi said to himself: "Jia Yi, Jia Yi, how can there be an unsharpened blade, how can there be a sailboat that does not withstand wind and rain?" The way of government has always been uneven. ”

Jia Yi clearly felt that the emperor appreciated him very much, and this was the hope of the New Deal!

Jia Yi finally calmed down and walked out of the front hall of Weiyang Palace, when he looked back at the vigorous political word in the center, he had a deeper understanding of the difficulty of being a politician.

Liu Heng returned to the apse, holding back a lot of strength in his heart, he didn't expect that appointing a newcomer would attract such a big resistance from the old ministers. It seems that the old man has overestimated him, Liu Heng, Liu Heng, should be re-weighed and weighed the severity, it can't affect the stability of the entire court.

The old ministers can't be offended, those old ministers are against Jia Yi on the surface, but in fact they are against me, they are afraid that I will build my own power hub, I will be decided by them, if you offend them now, it will be very detrimental to the future government.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Heng decided to wait for the opportunity, and the most important thing now was to consolidate his position, rather than building new leadership teams at all levels. As for Jia Yi, although he is very talented, he is in a hurry, and it is not beneficial to the country, so he will give him some false positions first and allow him to play the chapter, so that he can still keep the talent by his side.

In the second year of Emperor Wen, Liu Heng promoted Jia Yi to Taizhong Doctor, and Taizhong Doctor could only discuss official positions without real power.

In the same year, Jia Yi made a famous recital, called on accumulation and sparseness, talking about the government to guide the people to value agriculture and ignore business, and not abandon the foundation of agriculture to pursue the end of commerce, this suggestion was adopted by Liu Heng. If the discussion on storage and sparseness is just Jia Yi's introduction, then Jia Yi's next suggestion is to become a fryer fritters. Seeing that his suggestion was adopted, Jia Yi decided to strike while the iron was hot, and gave Liu Heng a twist, and it was this twist that almost overturned Chang'an City, and finally buried Jia Yi's future.
