A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Che received Wang Kuang's recital.

Wang Kuang was an official appointed by Liu Che and asked him to assist Liu Zhang in the management of the Red Marquis State.

And to monitor Liu Zhang's every move, he looked at the content of the spell.

Liu Zhang was poisoned by Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, and the resentment of the Honghou people boiled.

If this matter cannot be dealt with properly, it will make the behavior of those princes and kings even more unscrupulous.

"Liu Jian is really daring, he is going to be angry with me."

After Liu Che finished reading the song, he slapped the song on the case.

Frightened, Gongsun Hong felt a chill in his back, and Liu Che called him to discuss how to deal with this matter.

"Your Majesty once sent someone to warn the king of Jiangdu, so that he must not hurt the red marquis again. It's only been a few days, and the matter is getting worse. ”

Gongsun Hong knelt on the east side of the lower seat, and he bowed his head slightly.

Showing respect for Liu Che, King Jiangdu's move was an indirect slap in the face of the emperor.

"The cause of the incident was just because Liu Zhang assisted the local government to catch the gangster who robbed the woman, so he offended Liu Jian."

Liu Che wanted to punish Liu Jian lightly, but his revenge became heavier and heavier.

Wang Kuang's recital clearly states that Liu Jian sent people to infiltrate the Red Marquis Kingdom again.

intending to rob Chen Yun and Xu Xuan, Liu Che didn't know Liu Jian's personality.

Because this matter failed, Liu Jian held a grudge even more.

poisoned Liu Zhang, if he died of poisoning.

This matter will be known to the whole world, and it will also affect the reputation of the princes and kings.

This is also a bad start, and Liu Jian must be severely punished this time.

"I have given him a lenient punishment many times, and this time I cannot be partial or conniving. What do you think? ”

Liu Che wanted to hear Gongsun Hong's opinion, but in fact, he still wanted to favor Liu Jian in his heart.

After all, it was his nephew, and Liu Jian's crime was not a rebellion.

But he did it too much this time, and Liu Biqiang also asked Liu Jian to be severely punished many times.

Honghou won the hearts of the people and benefited the people with his own ability.

"According to the minister's humble opinion, the two counties of Jiangdu Wang were cut. Let the Imperial Doctor order to treat Honghou and give him some compensation. In addition, he was rewarded for his meritorious work some time ago. ”

Liu Che really thought about rewarding Liu Zhang, and it didn't take long for him to be rewarded before.

Liu Zhang led the army to exterminate the Liukou and made miraculous achievements, personally killing hundreds of Liukou.

This has been witnessed by many people, and he is indeed very peaceful in the Red Marquis Country.

Liu Che received a note from Taishou, and Liu Zhang paid a year's tax for the people of the Red Marquis.

In order to thank them for their contribution to defending the Honghou Mansion, it is the matter of the imperial court to collect and exempt taxes.

Liu Che sent officials to tell Liu Zhang, not to take an example.

The people of the Honghou Kingdom were exempted from the burden of paying taxes for one year, and the Honghou paid the full amount of taxes in advance.

There is no loss to the imperial court, but this kind of example cannot be repeated in the future.

The imperial court was a little short of money, and Liu Che felt that it was wrong for Liu Zhang to do this.

"Give him an additional 500 households, and give Liu Zhang one-tenth of the tax revenue of the two counties of Jiangdu as compensation."

That's more than 2 million dollars, and the two counties of Wuning and Yongkang will be recovered.

These two counties were very rich, and they took this opportunity to be brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

"The edict was to take back the two counties of Wuning and Yongkang, and ordered Zhang Tang to warn Liu Jian not to cause another incident. The one-tenth tax of each of the two counties was given to Liu Zhang as compensation, and 500 households were sealed. ”

In this way, Liu Zhang's resentment can be calmed and the impact of this matter can be minimized.

If the same sect kills each other, it is very detrimental to the stability of the Han Dynasty.

Even if Liu Jian was unconvinced, he was self-inflicted.

"In March, Liu Zhang wrote that the Xiongnu would invade Dingxiang, Shangjun and Daijun, do you think the Xiongnu will come?"

At that time, Liu Che saw Liu Zhang's recital and was skeptical of its content.

There are still two months before the Xiongnu invade the three counties, if the Xiongnu really come.

Let the Han army ambush the Xiongnu, if it doesn't come.

Wouldn't that be a busy affair in vain, Liu Zhang's intentions are good.

"Perhaps he divined and learned that the Xiongnu would invade, and His Majesty could send a general to lead the army to ambush the Xiongnu."

Gongsun Hong also knew that the Xiongnu would raid the Han border in late summer and early autumn every year.

The Xiongnu prepared for the winter, and from June to August, it was the autumn harvest season.

If Liu Zhang could predict it accurately every time, it would be able to deal a heavy blow to the Huns.

"Then let Wei Qing go out of Dingxiang, Li Guang out of Shangjun, and Gongsun Ao out of Daijun to ambush the Huns."

It's really a bit like waiting for a rabbit, and the Huns are erratic.

Wherever the Xiongnu went, they lived there.

Therefore, it was difficult for the Han army to find the main force of the Xiongnu, and it has not been able to inflict heavy damage on the Xiongnu.

The Han border was too long, and the Han army could not achieve a comprehensive defense.

Liu Che has been trying every means to find the main force of the Xiongnu and completely wipe it out.

If Liu Zhang predicted it accurately, it would be a great achievement.

If the Xiongnu did not come in June, then Liu Zhang's closure would be reduced as a punishment.

"The ambush of the Huns should be carried out quietly."

In this way, the Huns may come, and it is better to kill all the Huns who will commit in the future.

"The counties are too sparse, and there are inferior copper coins in the counties. This affects the fair trade of the counties, and some people profit from it. ”

The counties and states should be minted in accordance with the standards stipulated by the imperial court, and now there are still private copper coins among the people.

"Your Majesty, although there are inferior copper coins in the counties. It had little impact on the imperial court, and there were no inferior copper coins in the annual income of the state treasury. ”

Gongsun Hong, as a doctor of imperial history, still understands some of the situation in the imperial court.

The stock of inferior copper coins was small, and the imperial court was relatively lenient on local coinage.

At present, the main focus is on dealing with the Xiongnu, and the revenue of the state treasury will not be affected.

The matter of the newly minted copper coins was put on hold, and the counties and states settled the inferior copper coins on their own.

"Let the counties settle this matter on their own, Your Majesty should not worry."

"It makes sense, I heard that Liu Zhang was blessed by the gods. He has an artifact from the gods in his hand, and I want to see it. ”

Liu Che was very interested in the pistol in Liu Zhang's hand, and he planned to visit the Red Marquis Kingdom this autumn.

Looking at how the people of Honghou Country lived, the two meteorites that Liu Zhang dedicated to him have been received.

There is also a flawless jade bib, which has been identified by a jade stonemason.

This jade is very likely to be He's bi, and it is rumored that Qin Shi Huang used He's bi to make a jade seal of the country.

"Liu Zhang's jade bi dedicated to Wu was identified by the jade stonemason as He's bi. It seems that the rumors that Emperor Qin made a jade seal with He's bi are not true. ”

Liu Che has the three seals of the Son of Heaven and the three seals of the emperor in his hands. The so-called heirloom jade seal is just an auspicious treasure seal.

"Liu Zhang is very loyal to His Majesty and dedicates this treasure jade to His Majesty. He did his best to help the people in the Red Marquis Kingdom, which was a blessing for the Han Dynasty. ”

Liu Che could hear that Gongsun Hong was not praising Liu Zhang. He listened a lot to that.

I also heard that Liu Zhang made a lot of strange things, and I heard that he exchanged grain and vegetable seeds for old grain in the hands of the people.

Gongsun Hong prepared the edict according to Liu Che's intentions, and he respectfully handed it over.

Liu Che took a look at it and made sure that the content of the edict was consistent with what he said.

He took out a jade seal that was six centimeters long and three centimeters high.

It is engraved with six small seals of "The Seal of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty", which is not finished.

It is also necessary to stamp the seal of the prime minister and the imperial historian, which plays a certain role in anti-counterfeiting.

This edict was written to Liu Zhang, and the material was purple silk.

The current prime minister is Shi Fen, and he will give him the edict with the prime minister's seal.

"Go and hand over the edict to Shi Fen, presumably Liu Zhang received this edict. The anger in his heart will disappear, and Liu Jian will not hurt him again in the future. ”

This is the third time Liu Che has sent someone to warn Liu Jian if he doesn't listen again.

Then abolish his Jiangdu State and let Liu Jian come to live in Chang'an.

"No!" Gongsun Hong held the edict and retreated.

But after Gongsun Hong left, Liu Che exhaled heavily.

Liu Fei asked him to take care of Liu Jian before he died, and Liu Che also agreed.

He didn't know what Liu Jian had done.

He just turned a blind eye, as long as it didn't touch his bottom line

But what Liu Jian did became more and more excessive, and the impact was getting bigger and bigger.

"You're always so restless, little things. You just want to kill other people's lives, how can you let me protect you. ”

Liu Biqiang asked him many times to punish Liu Jian severely, if he did not punish him severely.

There will be cannibalism between clans, which will affect the unity and stability of the Han Dynasty.

can no longer favor Liu Jian, and has repeatedly considered giving him a lighter punishment before.

Liu Zhang's poisoning has become more and more influential.

At yesterday's court meeting, the ministers demanded that Liu Jian be severely punished.

He, the emperor, is indeed a little tired, and what bothers him the most is dealing with the Huns.

But these clans and other nobles are fighting openly and secretly, and they are used to their free life.

They completely ignored the law, and what was the majesty of the court.

He has always guarded against the princes and foreign relatives, and implemented some measures to prevent them from making friends in private.

If other clans were as good as Liu Zhang, it would also make him worry a lot.
