Chapter 71: Jia Yi's Turmoil 2
Liu Heng found Jia Yi's twists and turns in several cases, and he was very happy in his heart, he liked to read Jia Yi's twists and turns, eloquent, reasonable, and well-founded, and it was a pleasure to read. After more than a year of getting along and observing, Liu Heng has a good understanding of Jia Yi's habits. If Jia Yi sent it at night, there would be a high opinion.
Therefore, Liu Heng spread out Jia Yi's recital with great interest and read it word by word. read the highlights, and even chanted out while shooting the case.
"Sure enough, it's a wizard!"
Liu Heng put down the bamboo slip and paced in the hall, sometimes contemplating, sometimes picking up the fold and reading it carefully.
After some thought, Liu Heng only felt that the haze since his accession to the throne was suddenly swept away. Although you are the Son of Heaven, how could you have thought that the Son of Heaven also has the difficulties of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven cannot do whatever he wants. There are still so many obstacles to appointing a Jia Yi, and the major policies in his heart are even more impossible to implement at will. At first, he thought that the reason why it was difficult to reconcile the people's mouths, but after several figures, he found that this was not the case, many of those old and important ministers did not have a fixed opinion, and the reason why they opposed it was because they had been customized for decades, and they were happy to sit back and enjoy their success, and they no longer wanted to change, they were afraid of changing again, and if they wanted to change, who would ensure that their glory, wealth and power would not be affected.
Unconsciously, the fight in the palace sounded, and it was already the third watch in the middle of the night. Liu Heng originally wanted to summon Jia Yi overnight, but after thinking about it, this matter is very important, and he should think more maturely before making a decision, Liu Heng put the fold in the secret box and locked it, and went to sleep in the Jiaofang Palace.
However, Liu Heng seems to have forgotten one thing, unless the courtiers handed the emperor a secret envoy of the Son of Heaven, or a major military situation, or an edict, they must be delivered through the Imperial Historical Observatory, and they must be engraved by the Imperial Historian.
In other words, even if Liu Heng didn't say anything, the news had already leaked.
Within a day or two, the news of a big move in Chang'an City spread far and wide, and it was already boiling, and even the major wine shops in Chang'an were also talking about it.
"Hey, I heard that the imperial court is going to take the liehou to open the knife!"
"I also heard that there is such a thing, it seems that there is another big change in the DPRK and China!"
"It is said that it is still the strategy of the world-famous genius Jia Yi!"
"Milky child, don't die! Dare to take the hero to open the knife! ”
Jia Yibuyi came to the wine shop, sat down and drank three glasses of wine, but he couldn't drink it anymore. He looked forward to Liu Heng's attitude for several days, but he didn't see any movement, he was annoyed in his heart, and he came to the wine shop to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, but he didn't want to hear these rumors, and his heart was even more uneasy, so he hurriedly brushed his sleeves away.
He came to the palace gate and explained to the palace guard that he wanted to see the emperor, the matter had already been spread, how could he wait any longer, he wanted to ask the emperor in person, so as to know the emperor's attitude.
Soon, Jia Yi met Liu Heng in the apse of Weiyang Palace.
Liu Heng seemed to have known that Jia Yi would come to ask, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but his eyes were unusual.
Jia Yi caught a glimpse of Liu Heng's gaze, and there was a slight chill, and he hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Liu Heng said first: "Jia Qing's twists and turns the day before yesterday, I have already thought about it carefully!" He deliberately bit the word "Guess" very hard, and then glanced at Jia Yi with slanted eyes, only to see that Jia Yi was still standing solemnly, so he said: "However, I think, is it too hasty?" ”
"Your Majesty, if this matter is delayed for a long time, when will Your Majesty's ambition for prosperity be realized? If disasters are still frequent today, the treasury is not full, the extravagance of officials is gradually rising, and His Majesty's decree cannot be passed, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be more difficult in the future! Jia Yi prostrate said.
Liu Heng groaned slightly, and said: "I also have this concern, but the liehou is not wrong, if he takes back the Gyeonggi nationality and sends him back to China, in case his life changes, won't it harm the community?" ”
Jia Yi said calmly: "What Your Majesty said is very true, but the minister thinks that sending the princes to the country will not cause changes!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Heng's eyes lit up.
"At the root of it, the princes refused to go to the country, but coveted the prosperity of the capital, sent them to the country, one did not take away his title, and the other did not punish him, and the example can be rewarded, beneficial and harmless, how can there be changes?"
"How do I do that?"
"If someone is an example, others should have nothing to say!"
"Who?"
"Prime Minister Zhou!"
Liu Heng chuckled in his heart when he heard this, thinking that this Jia Yi really had extraordinary knowledge, and he poked at his sore spot at once, just as Yuan Ang said, Zhou Bo has made great achievements in serving himself and has a proud look. His subordinates are arrogant and domineering, for the emperor, it is a very dangerous sign, but Liu Hengchu is the emperor, and he can't help but rely on these old ministers to suppress the situation, as Liu Heng, he loves and hates Zhou Bo, but he knows better that if he wants to show his strength in the government, Zhou Bo is a burden that must be thrown off. If you can take this opportunity to clean up the situation in one fell swoop, and if things work out, Jia Yi is naturally a talent, if not, you can also distinguish the truth from the fake, wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone!
Jia Yi looked at Liu Heng, his expression was full of confidence, he thought that Liu Heng would definitely adopt his suggestions. The problem that Liu Heng urgently needs to solve is how to personally control the situation in the court? And the person who is currently hindering his governance is the one who helped him get on the horse, if these obstacles are not eliminated, Liu Heng will never have peace on the road to power. And Jia Yi gave him a brilliant idea. There are only two ways to govern, you must have money in your hands and people around you. How does the money come from? It is absolutely impossible to apportionment to the common people, and the top priority is to snatch a large amount of idle farmland from the feudal lords and increase the source of taxes. The so-called people around him, there is no shortage of people in the imperial court, but with Liu Heng's foundation, coupled with the pride of the old courtiers, they don't listen to the call at all, these uncles can't kill and kill, scold and scold, the best way is to drive them out of Chang'an and stay away from the court, so that they can avoid bloodshed and sacrifice, and vacate a large number of positions.
Liu Heng finally nodded, he suddenly got up and said sharply: "Jia Qing, I ordered you to take full authority to deal with this matter, are you willing to bear it?" ”
Jia Yi prostrate again: "The ministers will not be able to repay His Majesty's kindness if they die, what are you afraid of!" ”
Liu Heng helped Jia Yi up and said, "This is a chore that offends people!" If there are difficulties, just say it. ”
Liu Heng's tone was full of sincerity, and when he heard this, Jia Yi's figure trembled slightly, and he immediately bowed down and said: "To create a brilliant and prosperous era for Your Majesty, the ministers will go to the soup and fight the fire, and it is not too late to die!" ”
"Good! Zhengchen is strong, and the blessing of the community. The great talent of the public, I know very well, but those who practice high positions will have great merit, and I hope that Jia Qing can make this contribution to the new dynasty! ”
"Death does not spin on the heel!"
"Okay, come on, give wine!" The waiter put the wine glass up, Liu Heng picked up the wine jue, and continued: "This is an aged Zhao wine, the wine tastes cold, and it is a good trip!" Come on, do it! ”
"!" When the two men met, Jia Yi was greatly moved, with such a Ming Jun, why worry about the great success.
Jia Yi seemed to see the scene when Qin Xiaogong and Shang Jun made a solemn oath to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and suddenly, tears flowed into tears.
When Jia Yi came out of the Yang Palace, he was already slightly drunk. It has been more than a year since he entered Chang'an, and he was promoted from a doctor to a doctor, although the promotion is also fast, but for a person like Jia Yi who thinks he can enter the prime minister and has a very high political talent, the pace seems to be a little slower. If this continues, how can Jia Yi realize his political ideals and create his ideal country? Emperor Wen attaches great importance to Jia Yi's attitude and courtiers can see it very clearly, but Emperor Wen can only pay attention to it, can not be reused, a year down, Jia Yi's work is non-stop, but it is all some tinkering work, such as sorting out the code, improving the code, adding the etiquette system, etc., some of Jia Yi's fundamental twists and turns have almost been suppressed by Emperor Wen. Jia Yi didn't know Emperor Wen's situation, he had just ascended the throne, and his position was not stable, so naturally he couldn't rush everything. Jia Yi had also thought that he would be put aside by Liu Heng before, and there would even be a situation where he could not be adopted by Emperor Wen and offended the meritorious nobles, but Jia Yi still couldn't help but say that in his eyes, this was the true character of a scholar, making suggestions and suggestions for the society, and not vomiting or being unhappy. If you are afraid, you can simply go home and farm.
The next day, Liu Heng officially issued an edict to send the marquis to the country, which was handled by Jia Yi with full authority.
When Jia Yi had the edict, he began to rush to clear the land and send the liehou back to the fiefdom.
This work may seem simple, but the entanglements of interests involved are very complex. The princes stayed in Chang'an, did not go to the feudal country, most of them were nostalgic for the wealth and prosperity of Chang'an, even if they did not have an official position in the court, most of them were still willing to stay in Chang'an. After decades of construction, Chang'an has become an extraordinary international metropolis, and Chang'an Street Market is full of traffic and streams. Wine shops and business travel are like stars. Many of their industries and unknown forces have been entrenched in Chang'an, which one wants to leave?
Those who were among the expelled princes tried their best to run away from the door, intending to find a reason to stay, and even the extremists even harmed themselves, hoping to stay.
At the same time, he pointed the finger at Jia Yi, the initiator. They began to constantly slander Jia Yi, and kept making small reports to Liu Heng about Jia Yi.
Although Jia Yi noticed it, he didn't care, because he thought that Liu Heng would be Qin Xiaogong, but soon, his dream was ruthlessly shattered.
