[Volume 1] Section 108: New Deal Abortion

------------

After Liu Che summoned Wang Zang and Zhao Juan, he quickly made the decision to reuse the two. Wang Zang served as Lang's lieutenant commander, and Zhao Juan served as the imperial historian.

Liu Che and Wang Zang are old acquaintances, when Wei Juan was the prince's concubine, Wang Zang was the prince's young master, but the time was very short. Wang Zang is different from Wei Juan, Wei Juan has been promoted all the way, and the official has become the prime minister, but this benevolent brother is becoming more and more depressed. If it weren't for someone recommending it, Liu Che probably wouldn't be able to remember this down-and-out master for a while.

Wang Zang is considered to be a teacher and student with Liu Che, although the official is promoted quickly, he can also understand it, after all, he has the aura of an emperor. However, his fellow disciple brother Zhao Juan is completely different.

Zhao Juan has no record of being an official, but he has become one of the three princes, and he can't help but feel that Liu Che's official is too good.

Some people may think that having no foundation means that there is no interest in it, and you can do things more without scruples, and the smart Liu Che is eager to reuse these two people in order to smoothly open up the situation for the new policy of Jianyuan.

This is obviously raising Liu Che's image, not so much that this is Liu Che's big stroke, it is better to understand that Liu Che is in a hurry to go to the doctor. After Wei Juan and Zhi Budo were dismissed, Liu Che felt the pressure from the East Palace and fell into unease.

So far, he is only a seventeen-year-old boy, in other words, no matter how smart he is, he lacks work experience, and some things are still a little immature.

Zhao Juan and Wang Zang apparently did not recognize the danger.

Among the three princes, Dou Ying and Tian Wei are all relatives, with backgrounds and backers.

However, Zhao Juan's Wang Zang's life experience is very thin.

At the beginning of their tenure, they proposed to imitate the ancient rites to build the Ming Hall, which was the place where the Son of Heaven preached politics and religion and held ceremonies in ancient times, which was conducive to maintaining the authority of the Son of Heaven.

For all this, Liu Che unconditionally supports it.

Soon, they recommended their teacher, Lu Ren Shen Gong, to Liu Che.

Shen Gong once served as a doorman for Liu Wu, the king of Chu, and in that year, Liu Wu insisted on joining the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but Shen Gong discouraged him and was punished by Liu Wu, the king of Chu. After the defeat of the King of Chu, Shen Gong returned to his hometown and devoted himself to education and recruited disciples.

Shen Gong never dreamed that he would be called by the emperor when he was eighty years old.

All the way to the car, Shen Gong came to the Xuan Room and stood in front of Liu Che.

Liu Che saw that Shen Gong was white, and he was old, but he was still full of energy, and he was extremely reverent in his heart. He humbly asked Shen Gong for advice on how to govern the country.

Shen Gong looked at the young emperor in front of him, stroked his gray beard, and squeezed out a sentence for a while: "Those who govern the country should say less and do more (for those who govern, they don't say much, and they do as much as they do." ”

Liu Che nodded yes and continued to listen.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the old man was fine, so he stopped and was silent.

Liu Che looked left and right embarrassedly, frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but looking at the old man's leisurely application, he didn't know what to say, he was a little disappointed in his heart, but for the sake of everyone's face, it was okay to seal Shen Gong as an official doctor in Taizhong.

Zhao Juan and Wang Zang started a new policy, and they started from patrolling, changing the calendar, and changing the color of clothing, and greatly changed the etiquette system.

Zhao Juan and Wang Zang's new policy is quite smooth, the officials of the old Huang faction just watched quietly, after all, the emperor intends to promote Confucianism and has not touched his own fundamental interests, so why bother to be bored, let them toss as much as they want.

Empress Dowager Dou also fought for one eye and closed one eye, without too much intervention.

Soon, however, she couldn't sit still.

Since Liu Che ascended the throne, he has developed a habit of reporting to the old lady whenever there is a major event.

Zhao Juan really couldn't stand it anymore, he said to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, don't report everything to the East Palace!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Che suddenly sweated, just like Liu Che's premonition, this sentence quickly reached the ears of the old lady.

The old lady was furious.

The old lady has always thought that these Confucian scholars are nothing more than opportunistic rats who try their best to drill the camp, they are full of food all day long and shouting to change this and that, just to please the emperor, now it seems that these people harbor evil intentions! They're trying to take my old lady's power.

The old lady once again revealed her true colors as a political veteran, and she sent someone to secretly collect evidence of Zhao Juan and Wang Zang.

Under the instructions of the old lady, the subordinates gave full play to their whimsical ideas, and the evidence of the two was quickly collected.

She summoned Liu Che and personally showed these incriminating evidence to her grandson.

The old lady's expression was full of anger, and she criticized him with all her voice for his recent change of course and change.

Liu Che wanted to defend himself, but when he saw his grandmother's expression like this, he suddenly shuddered, and for the first time he felt the majesty and horror of his grandmother.

In the first month of the second year of Jianyuan (139 BC), at the insistence of Mrs. Dou, Zhao Juan and Wang Zang were imprisoned, and soon after, the two committed suicide in prison. Taiwei Tian Wei was dismissed. At the same time, in order to defend Huang Lao's government, Mrs. Dou also disregarded family affection, dismissed Prime Minister Dou Ying, and all new policies were abolished.

Mrs. Dou once again explained with practical actions that the court is still the original court, and no one wants to change this or that!

Liu Che's Jianyuan reform was declared a complete failure.

He temporarily buried all his great ideals deep in his heart, and although his heart was full of a sense of loss and frustration, it did not affect his confidence in the future.

The failure of the Jianyuan New Deal is nothing, because it has long been expected, but the vacancy of the position of the three princes at the same time is beyond people's expectations.

Old Mrs. Dou was really far-sighted, and she had already found a suitable candidate.

The old man of the Huang Lao faction, Bai Zhihou Xuchang, served as the prime minister, Wujiang Hou Zhuang Qingzhai served as the imperial history doctor, and there was no post of Tai Lieutenant, Shi Jian was appointed as the lieutenant of Lang, and Shi Qing was the internal history.
