Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 340 Seizing Power
"In the beginning, I was in charge of the great government, holding yin and yang in my hands, and governing the world. The life and death of thousands of people are in my hands, and the responsibility is heavy.

The late Emperor and King Luowen handed over the world to me, so I am always trembling and trembling, as if walking on thin ice, for fear of failing the entrustment of the late Emperor and King Luowen and damaging their legacy.

I think to myself, since ancient times, I have never heard of a country that can prosper without paying attention to talents.

Now that the world is in the ascendant, it is the time when the monarchs and ministers are dedicated to their lives. After a hundred thousand years, I will be known in history as the Holy King. Will the names of the princes still be unknown? "

Liu Heng looked at the crowd with shining eyes, and directly stated his ultimate goal. This is what Luo Xin has always taught him, and he put forward the conditions that need to be fulfilled to become a holy king from all aspects.

Everyone present was shocked by Liu Heng's words. How many kings have existed in the land of Zhuxia since ancient times?

But how many can be called holy kings?
It's just Yao, Shun and Yu Tang.

But these holy kings are almost only living in the word of mouth of legends, and many people's deeds don't even know the truth or falsehood. For those who really have definite deeds, the closest holy king to today is Su Wang.

Even King Wu, who killed King Zhou, was not counted. Although he got the mandate of heaven, he collapsed shortly after the unification.

Now Liu Heng says that he wants to be a holy king, that is to say, he wants to be the No.1 under the third generation!
"Follow His Majesty's order!"

……

After these Marquises returned to Chang'an, they were quiet for less than three days before they were overwhelmed by the swarming officials. The gifts sent by those who came to walk around couldn't even be placed in the Marquis' mansion, and they had to be piled up on the street superior.

These people may be upstarts compared to the Luo family, but for the powerful and powerful who have just risen in the past few years, the founding nobles are already old aristocrats that many people can't reach.

These people have worked in Chang'an and even Guanzhong for so many years. Once they return to Chang'an, countless relationship interests will be reconnected with them as the core.

You don't need to spend time, energy and a lot of money to strengthen the basic disk like those upstarts who lack foundation.

In the palace, there are many bamboo sticks on the table in front of Liu Heng, and each bamboo stick has a name written on it. If you look carefully, there are the names of all the princes and ministers there.

Whenever Liu Heng held up a bamboo stick, he would fall into deep thought, as if he was recalling something.

He put his eyes on the bamboo sticks with Chehou's name on them, and then looked out of the hall, just in time to see Luo Jing walking in, and asked with a smile: "Ah Jing, how is it?"

It turned out that it was Liu Heng who asked Luo Jing to see how grand the scenes at the Chehou's house were.

Luo Jing directly said what he saw, "Your Majesty, half of the courtiers in Chang'an City have entered the residence of the Marquis Che, and the silence of the past few years has not made these families lonely. As long as you let go of the restrictions on them, Immediately it will revert to being a colossus."

Hearing Luo Jing's words, Liu Heng pondered for a moment, then threw the bamboo stick with the writing in his hand into a piece of cloth, the sound of the bamboo stick colliding was quite clear.

Indistinctly, the words Wuyanghou, Jianghou, etc. can be seen from the exposed corner, and the words Weijun are embroidered on the corner of the cloth.

This noisy feast lasted for several days, and the group of founding nobles deliberately used this to announce to the whole world that they had returned.

Liu Heng also sent envoys to reward, which fully demonstrated the friendship and deep friendship between the monarch and his ministers.

When everything was over, Liu Heng's appointments to these Marquis soon came down, and basically they all returned to the army.

Such a large-scale personnel adjustment naturally caused the government and the public to look sideways, and many people were guessing what the emperor wanted to do.

……

In Changle Palace.

Liu Heng looked over and over at the copper coin in his hand for an unknown amount of time before he raised his head and said to Jia Yi and Luo Jing: "Jia Qing, I remember writing a letter a long time ago that the imperial court should take back the minted coins that were distributed to the people. right?"

When Jia Yi heard the words, he immediately said seriously: "Your Majesty, the right to mint coins is related to the lifeblood of the court. In the past, when King Luo Wen was here, the minister wrote a letter, but later King Luo Wen explained why it could not be withdrawn for the time being, and the minister did not write the letter again. .”

Luo Jing said: "Your Majesty, my father once said that the right to mint coins must eventually be taken back by the imperial court and issued by the central court. Do you want to start now?

I thought it might not be that easy.

After all, casting money is really lucrative, as long as it is a profitable business, someone will definitely take risks.

Even if it is officially prohibited, those lawless tyrants will definitely cast it in private, and even those princes and kings will do the same. "

Liu Heng sneered and said, "Then I want to see if their necks are stiff or if my knives are sharper.

What I am really worried about is whether this move will be suspected of competing with the people for profit, and whether it will make the people of the world suffer more. "

Luo Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are really worrying too much.

Although it is really unpleasant to say so, power struggles at this level have never had much to do with the people. Are there ordinary people in this world who can benefit from making money?

All those who can benefit are those tyrants and princes and kings, those who are the richest people in the entire Han Dynasty. There is only so much money in the world. If these people take it all away, then the common people will not be able to get it.

The people do not benefit from the policies of the imperial court, but they are always hurt.

I remember what my fifth uncle, Shouguang Hou, said to Empress Gao in the past, that the big men depend on those good families.

If the Han Dynasty is a person, Liangjiazi is food and water.

Is there anyone in this world who can survive without eating or drinking water?
Naturally there is not.

Let the powerful and powerful be allowed to, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to survive.

If these people can't survive, the current big Han will collapse, either like the Qin Dynasty will perish directly, or it will completely rely on local tyrants to implement rule.

People who can pay taxes for the court are indispensable, while princes, kings and powerful are replaceable.

The Great Han Dynasty lacked everything, that is, there was no shortage of candidates who could become vassal kings and powerful people. "

Although Luo Jing is not good at these things, he has a strong family background and is very talkative. Both Liu Heng and Jia Yi nodded in agreement with his theory.

Liu Heng's eyes burst out with murderous intent, and he said in a cold voice: "Ah Jing, it seems that I was right to call back the Chehous first. If I want to take back the right to mint coins, I will kill a group of people. These tycoons How can you not kill them all?"

Jia Yi and Luo Jing laughed heartily when they heard the words, it was purely a joke to kill Hao Qiang.

Liu Heng himself understood that this was too whimsical, so he closed his eyes slightly and opened them again and asked, "Jia Qing, Ah Jing, at the court meeting tomorrow, find a minister to bring this matter up."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In fact, Luo Jing thinks that it is possible to make an order directly, and this method of testing usually represents a kind of negotiation and reflects a kind of uncertainty.

The matter of taking back the right to mint coins is non-negotiable. This is the power of the central court, and the local government should directly hand over this power.

Anyone who dares to question it should be regarded as rebellious, and they should not hesitate to raise troops to suppress it.

These two methods can't be said which one is better, Luo Jing is not like Liu Heng, who has countless twists and turns in his mind.

Liu Heng thinks about one thing, and he doesn't know how many turns he has to make in his heart and mind before he can say it. He is really a born emperor.

Luo Jing and Jia Yi walked out of the palace together. Luo Jing asked: "Does Jia Qing have suitable candidates? If not, Jing can recommend some for you. Although my father and uncles are dead or dead, Or left Chang'an City, but there are still many relatives and old friends in Chang'an, especially Sanbo, who has many connections."

Even if Luo's status bonus is not counted, only Luo Yi's own relationship, he can be regarded as the group with the most friends among the founding nobles, basically there is no founding noble that he doesn't know.

If Luo Yi hadn't sent his son back to Zhaocheng, his son would have become the leader of the second generation of founding nobles. This is the power and status of the Yinghou Mansion.

Jia Yi laughed and said, "Thank you, my lord, that's unnecessary. Yi has been taken care of by Marquis Shouguang all these years, and in Chang'an City, he can be considered a bit of a loser. You can still find suitable courtiers.

In the past, when King Luowen and Marquis Shouguang recommended friendship, friendship could not be relied on in everything, otherwise, it would have failed his father's respect. "

Hearing Jia Yi calling him son, Luo Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Jia Qing, you are now an important minister of the country, you can call Jing a servant, or you can call Dong'a."

Jia Yi himself stepped into the political arena through the Luo family, and was reused because of the Luo family's relationship, and was even trusted by the emperor, with a strong Luo family label on him.

Calling Luo Jing the young master now will confirm his status as a student of the Luo family even more. But Jia Yi is now an important minister next to the emperor. This is not a good thing. At the critical moment, it is enough to be a little bit biased towards Rockwell, and it is not considered to live up to Rockwell's recommendation.

When Jia Yi heard the words, he naturally understood what Luo Jing meant, and immediately nodded to show that he understood.

As the palace gate slowly fell, the sun slowly set.

The Sun Also Rises.
