Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 688
Xiangling, with mixed rain and snow in the sky, was photographed head-on, with a deep chill.

The ground was not covered by heavy snow, this little snowflakes could only make the ground muddy, and at a glance, all the ground could be seen was so dirty, pitted, and pitch-black frost snow.

Liu Ruyi stood sluggishly, staring blankly into the distance.

His elder brother was buried under this land. Even though he set off early, he still couldn’t see his elder brother for the last time. He had already been buried, and even the door to the imperial mausoleum was blocked. There were only a few solitary people around. Liu Ruyi couldn't see their faces clearly, and her brother's face appeared in her mind, and all the experiences were replayed one by one, thinking of her brother curled up here alone now Under the mud, Liu Ruyi's heart was cut like a knife.

Tears ran across his cheeks again, Liu Ruyi felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart, he wanted to hug his brother again.

Does he feel lonely?Will it freeze?

As if something was suddenly missing in her heart, Liu Ruyi's whole body was empty, with so many thoughts in her mind that even breathing became difficult.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed his shoulder.

Liu Ruyi woke up startled, looked up, Liu Chang stood beside him at some point, and also looked forward.

"Why don't you come to the palace?"

"My brother is here, not in the palace."

Liu Ruyi said tremblingly.

An attendant stood aside holding the stove, Liu Ruyi's trembling body was not relieved by it, his teeth were shaking, the cold not only came from the outside, but also came from the inside out, making his whole body trembling. become stiff.

"When I was young, people in the palace hated me. I went to play with my second brother. The maid asked me to stand outside the door and wait for me to go in. I knew how to tremble in the wind. I didn't understand why they all hated me. .”

"The second brother came out. He looked at me, his eyes were full of astonishment. You don't know how the second brother was really angry. It was the first time I saw him so fierce. He yelled at the maids, holding I was crying and he wrapped me in his coat and asked them why they treated a child like this."

Liu Ruyi's expression suddenly became agitated, "I've never been so happy when I grew up a little bit. People around me persuaded me to stay away from my second brother, saying that he might murder me, but I didn't believe it. How could he possibly kill me with my sword?" He taught the Fa, he also taught me how to read and write, and taught me how to make my father happy. Seeing my achievements, he is happier than anyone else.”

Liu Ruyi suddenly covered her face and began to cry, "He is most afraid of the cold, and now he is alone in this cold place. How scared he must be."

"Long I want to hug him, put some more clothes on him"

Looking at Liu Ruyi who was crying bitterly, Liu Chang slowly raised his head without saying anything.

"Shh~~~"

Liu Chang took off the fur coat on his body, tidied it up immediately, and put it on the ground seriously.

Liu Ruyi was shocked, but Liu Chang looked at him and stretched out his hand. Liu Ruyi also took off his outer clothes abruptly. Beside the fur coat.

"Swish"

Lu Lu pulled off his coat and put it on the other side.

In the lonely hall, there were three overcoats, but they were still empty. However, Liu Ruyi's heart seemed to be calmer. He wiped away his tears and stopped sobbing.

Under the snow and rain, the three of them walked out of the hall wearing underwear. The soldiers were astonished and at a loss.

The three of them walked out of here just like that, and just as they got into the car, another group of people came here.

Liang Wang Liu Hui jumped down from the carriage, his whole face was flushed with cold, he didn't even care to be surprised when he saw the three people in front of him, he just cried and rushed towards them, the three brothers hugged each other without saying a word , just sobbing in a low voice, Liang Wang looked at the three coats in the hall, seemed to understand something, quickly took off his clothes, and murmured: "Second brother, my clothes are big and can cover them."

He carefully put the clothes on the second brother, and the servants brought by King Liang looked at each other, and then began to take off their clothes one after another. Liu Chang did not dissuade them, watching them put the clothes neatly on the inside the hall.

The brothers left here, braved the wind and snow, and drove towards the palace.

However, what happened here was still spread. That night, Yan Wang Liu Bi and Chengmen School Captain Lu Chan came here, took off their clothes, and left in obscene clothes. Immediately, Prince Liu An, Chengyang King Liu Zhang Dai Wang Liu Bo, Xia Wang Liu Ci, Beidi King Liu Liang, Lingyi Mansion Zhang Yan, Shihuo Mansion Jia Yi, Pingwa General Fan Kuang and others all came here one after another, and after that, the ministers also started to set out here. Generals and soldiers from the Northern Army came, and some Tai students even heard the news. For a while, the hall was covered by clothes, and they wrapped Emperor Daxing tightly so that he would not be exposed to the cold.

The three brothers sat in the hall, exhaling white mist continuously from their mouths.

Liu Ruyi cheered up, showing a slightly sad smile, "Eldest brother, brother Hui and second brother. He is following eldest brother and father. Don't be too sad."

Liu Chang and Liu Hui trembled, because only Liu Ying likes to call them eldest brothers, Hui brothers. And Liu Ruyi continued to comfort him, "Second brother has made such achievements, and everyone in the world misses him very much. Even if I see my father, my father can no longer reprimand him. Now the big man is extraordinarily strong, and this is all thanks to the second brother! They pester you, you can eat whatever you want, and you can drink if you want to drink.”

"You can't make him worry. What he hopes most is to see you happy, not what you are like now."

"Do you understand?"

Liu Ruyi asked.

Liu Chang nodded, "Understood, third brother."

The eldest brother and the second child passed away one after another, and the third child Ruyi has unknowingly become the eldest brother among the kings.

He said these words because he wanted to inherit the warmth of the second brother. He wanted to cheer up the younger brothers, just like the second brother did back then. The eldest brother is the father. He must take good care of these younger brothers so that they can be better. alive.

"Brother Hui, before everyone is here, don't be idle and go to the Northern Army to practice."

Liu Ruyi looked at Liu Chang, and said seriously: "I'm really worried about Hui's situation. When my second brother was still there, I advised him many times to eat less and exercise more. I have already lost my brother, and I don't want to lose him again. You Arrange it and let him exercise well."

Liu Hui didn't dare to refute, so he hastily agreed.

"And you, you should restrain your wine-loving personality. During this year, I want you to be a filial piety for my second brother and not drink at all."

Liu Chang hesitated a little, but nodded.

Seeing that the younger brothers were obedient, Liu Ruyi was stunned for a while, and then said to herself: "I will definitely take care of you."

"Third brother. Then I'll go to business first. You can go and see the second sister-in-law."

Liu Ruyi nodded.

Liu Chang left the hall with a long sigh. Lu Lu stood not far away and asked, "Is their situation all right?"

"It's okay. Obviously he is the one who needs the most care."

Liu Chang shook his head and led Lu Lu away.

The county guards don't have to go to the imperial mausoleum, they just need to worship in the imperial palace, because the ancestral temple is in the imperial palace, and of course Liu Ying wants to enter the temple. Liu Ying can enter the temple because of abdication, Liu Chang Today's achievements can all be counted on him. After all, without his abdication, the great man would not be able to achieve today's development. Liu Ying entered the temple and confirmed the temple name. It was officially named Gaozong. Gao Zi conflicted with the posthumous title of Emperor Taizu Gao and needed to be taboo, but Liu Chang forcibly ordered it, and deliberately weakened the taboo, thinking that there is no need to taboo for the venerable.

Liu Chang doesn't like taboos, mainly because when he was studying, some content was changed because of taboos, and he couldn't even talk about feudalism. I can't understand it, and there are so many taboos, what are you doing with these nonsensical things?

In the end, Liu Ying's posthumous title was also agreed upon, adopting the proposal of the great Confucian Mao Heng, and becoming Emperor Xiaoren of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, the word ren is not the best posthumous title. Every posthumous title has some meaning, and the word ren means that this person is very kind, treats others well, but has no contribution. Can't show political achievements, can only say that he He is a very good person, which is also very common in American posthumous posthumous titles. For example, the word Wu says that this person is very successful, but the rule of law is not good enough, the country is not very good, and the best thing about poor policies is words. Basically, there are no other metaphors. Achievement It's huge, it touches the edge in every aspect, and you can't find any faults, it's just a piece of writing.

Liu Ying also officially became Emperor Gaozong Xiaoren of the Han Dynasty. The ministers suggested that the Han Dynasty rule the world with filial piety, and that filial piety should be the first posthumous posthumous title of the emperor in the future.

This became a later practice, and the emperor's posthumous title of the Han Dynasty always carried a word of filial piety.

Liu Chang received many county guards who came.

Mainly to ask about their local conditions, and the degree of promotion of various policies.

"Your Majesty, the ministers of the Zhao State are very arrogant. Their pavilion chief crossed the border in the name of crusade against thieves, and even whipped the pavilion chief of our county who went to stop him. I personally wrote the letter, but King Zhao never handed over him. Please Your Majesty make decisions for me !"

The governor of Qinghe sat in front of Liu Chang seriously, and said angrily.

The last sheriff who wrote memorials every day to inquire about Liu Zhang's health was promoted because of his meritorious service and went to Xia Guo. The current sheriff is Xu Liu, a great man named Song Zihou.

Xu Liu said sadly: "It's not been a day or two since Zhao Guo did this. The mine is obviously between the two counties, but King Zhao occupied it alone and refused to let us profit. Our people ran to their side , they can’t chase after them, but they can do things across the border, Zhao Wang also ordered me to send people to cooperate with their people to capture the escaped mining slaves!!! It’s rude!! The minister is not the minister of Zhao Wang, Why do you obey his orders? Prime Minister Yuan An is too deceitful and suppresses merchants in our county."

Liu Chang frowned suddenly.

This matter is really a bit difficult to handle.

"I see. I will send someone to investigate this matter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Xu Liu saluted again.

And Xu Liu is not the only one. The several prefects that Liu Chang met in the future also impeached more or less, some impeached the princes and kings, and some impeached the surrounding counties. , It has even manifested in the local area, and there is a big gap between the princes and the county guards. The princes originally led the counties, like the Yan Kingdom, which has several counties under its command, but now, according to the orders of the temple , the princes and kingdoms no longer set up counties, they are all counties, which makes the country and county the same, and the princes and kings no longer override the county guards. You rule the county, and I rule the county. Why should I listen to you? ?

In order to check and balance the princes and kings, the temple has strengthened too much power of the county guard, which has caused the county guard to become a giant in the local area, and the contradictions between different counties have also become open.

Liu Chang's meeting with these county guards was originally to promote the comprehensiveness of medical officials and enlightenment studies. He did not expect that such a situation had already appeared in the local area.

At night, Liu Chang summoned Zhao Wang and Liang Wang again.

The two sat on his left and right sides, and they didn't know why Liu Chang called them over suddenly.

"Third brother, fifth brother, I heard a lot of things from the county guards today. Third brother, why did the officials under your command go after the fugitive slaves and dare to beat other county officials??"

Liu Ruyi said angrily: "It's because they opened mines in private, and they didn't want to cooperate with Zhao Guo, and even sent people to encourage those mining people to go to their side. If I don't send people to catch them back, why should I tolerate their behavior?" Behavior? Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely look after these traitors for you!!”

Liu Ruyi said it arrogantly, after all, in his opinion, he and Liu Chang are a family, the world belongs to their family, and the county guard is an outsider.

In the view of the county guard, these princes and kings are the factors that make the big man uneasy, and they are the people of the temple, and they are their own people.

Even the generous Liu Hui was a little unhappy and said: "These county guards are going too far, they don't let our merchants stay, and even drove away the merchants from Liang Guo. I'm just going to tell you about this! "

Liu Chang was silent for a long time, "I see, you guys rest first, I will take care of this matter."

Liu Chang left the palace in a hurry, Lu Lu was a little helpless, "Your Majesty, this Marquis Qu Ni is no longer here, so late at night, where is Your Majesty going to find a way?"

In the past, Liu Chang said that he had to think of a way. If he wanted to do it inside the palace, he would definitely go to Changle Palace. If he wanted to do it outside the palace, he would go to Qunihou’s Mansion. Where is he going now? ?

"Taiwei Mansion!!"

"Ok??"

Lu Lu was a little dazed. The Taiwei had nothing to say in war, but what good solution could he offer in this matter of government affairs?Could it be that the Taiwei led the army to beat up all the county guards, princes and kings in various places? ?

In the middle of the night, Han Xin was lighting a lamp in his study and was staying up late to study.

Just when Han Xin laughed at the military tactics of his predecessors and added his own views in the book, the door was knocked open.

Han Xin jumped up immediately, and hastily drew out his long sword.

"Master!!!"

Hearing this roar, Han Xin raised his sword and was about to cut.

Liu Chang was shocked, "It's me! Master! Not a thief!!"

"It was you who I cut!!"

Liu Chang dodged the Taiwei's attack skillfully, and muttered: "Master, it is illegal to attack the emperor with a sword!"

Han Xin only felt his head buzzing, "You have something important to come to me in the middle of the night, and I admit it, why didn't you even knock on the door?! Your mother was right! Wild boars in the forest!! Wild boars in the forest!!"

Han Xin cursed and sat down again, with a stern face, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

Liu Chang sat directly beside him and sighed, "Master, something serious happened."

Han Xin was taken aback, "Has the poisonous man rebelled?"

"No, the county guards wrote to impeach the princes and kings, the princes and kings wrote to impeach the county guards, and the county guards also wrote to impeach each other."

"That's why you came to me???"

"Master, at present there are soldiers in every county, and the princes and kings are being suppressed too badly. Not to mention this, it is their power. The county guard alone controls the government, finances, and soldiers. If there is no way to ease the conflict and weaken them, These people will fight sooner or later and if they are not in the same place, they will seriously hinder many of my policies. If they are too harmonious, the ministers in the temple will not be able to sit still."

Liu Chang scratched his head, "I really can't help it. I blame Qu Nihou. He passed away too early, and I can't find anyone to come up with a countermeasure. I think you have dealt with Qu Nihou many times. And it is also domineering in the local area, you have quite a lot of experience in this area, you should know how to deal with these people, right?"

Lu Lu hurriedly raised his head, looked at the sky, and pretended not to hear anything.

Han Xin's face was very dark.

But he didn't drive Liu Chang out, but asked calmly, "What do you want me to do?"

"You are the Taiwei, in charge of the world's military and political affairs."

"I think that the military power should be divided and cannot be handed over to the local governor. As long as the military power is gone, they can't act recklessly. Whether it is the princes or the county guards, and the princes have Taiwei, the county has County lieutenant, I am thinking, if the military power is separated and handed over to the Taiwei, county lieutenant, and county lieutenant, you will be directly in command. Separate the jurisdiction of the army and the supply of food and supplies, and let several different powers check and balance each other to weaken each other. The power of the local governor, the withdrawal of the temple, I just thought about it, the specific method, I am not very clear, I just want to hear your thoughts."

Han Xin glanced at him, "Do you want to set up three two thousand stones in one county? Work together?"

"Master still sees it clearly, and it's almost the same way of thinking."

"No, this way, it will cause more serious regional discord, or discord within the county. Once there is a war, the various ministries will not cooperate properly, and there will be no unified command, and it will be impossible to stop the enemy at all."

Liu Changchang sighed, "Is there no way?"

"Didn't Chao Cuo want to mess with the governor? Why don't you think of a way to do this?"

"Perhaps Chao Cuo already has a solution."

Liu Chang was taken aback, and then he stroked his beard, "I'm afraid this guy is impatiently plotting to get rid of the princes and kings. I went to him, and he would act recklessly in my name. This guy is not a good person. , things that have been determined, you have to risk your life to do it. Minister who is not afraid of death, it is too difficult to manage."

"I see. I will go to him tomorrow to discuss this matter."

"As expected of a master! I understood my thoughts without saying anything. Master is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and Chen Ping and Zhang Liang are far inferior! When Yun Mengze was arrested, it was a pure mistake! It is not your normal level at all!!"

"roll!!!"
