[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

Liu Che didn't give up, and waited for two months on the coast of the East China Sea. During the period, he was lucky and encountered three mirages. However, the fleet that went the farthest sailed for two days. Encountered a storm at sea, the large ships were not suitable for sailing at sea. Therefore, most of a fleet was directly broken, and only two ships came back intact. Even though they tried their best to rescue them, many people still died in the sea.

In such a situation, no matter what Liu Che was, he couldn't be interested, and some people said in private that Liu Che had no celestial destiny at all, and he repeatedly asked for immortals, which is why he hated those overseas immortals, and that's why this monstrous catastrophe arose. disaster.Such sayings are still popular.This year is not the future, everyone agrees with infrastructure construction, because all walks of life can benefit from it, but in this era, any infrastructure construction means a lot of corvee and even a lot of death.

If Liu Che still wants to build ships and go to sea, then it means recruiting more boatmen. Not only that, the people nearby have to cut down trees, boil glue, and then transport these to shipbuilding. The affairs of the court cannot be neglected. What about your own land, your own livelihood?If the farming season is missed, the harvest of the year will be over!Even, the aristocratic officials in the past even deliberately conscripted corvee during the farming season in order to annex the land. In this way, they could only sell the land honestly if they could not pay the tax.

Therefore, no one with knowledge would want Liu Che to continue to build ships and go out to sea. Of course, those noble officials would not spoil Liu Che's interest. However, Liu Che thought that he had traveled with the ship before, and if he hadn't returned in time, he might have encountered a storm. At this time, can the king of a country be spared the bad luck of being buried in the sea?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid Liu Che felt. When the local aristocratic officials asked whether they needed to increase the number of ships, or even try to build larger ships that could withstand the wind and waves, Liu Che hesitated, but still refused: " Forget it, for my own selfishness, no matter how much I waste money and people, I won’t take it! Since the fairy trail is hard to find, let’s let this matter go!”

Liu Che deeply compensated the soldiers and boatmen who died in this trip, and then returned with a group of people shouting "Long live" in gratitude.The people at the bottom are so easy to please, as long as you don't torment us, then you are considered a good emperor!

Now Liu Che is really disheartened about his dream of becoming a fairy. He looks for those alchemists who claim to have chatted and laughed with the gods, and can make gold and become a fairy casually. In the end, it turns out that they are all liars. The problem is, chasing the sea fairy several times The islands are all fruitless, even if there are immortals on the sea, they are probably trying to avoid him on purpose.Liu Che also has self-esteem, saying he is seeking immortality, but he is also the emperor of the world, even if he is an immortal, he must be respected as an emperor, but none of them show up, so is it possible that he, the emperor, has to condescend to cater to him?If for the sake of longevity, I have to bow down to those so-called immortals, what should they do if they want to intervene in the Han Dynasty?

For Liu Che, longevity is to better control the imperial power, not to control the imperial power just for longevity. If he wants to add a few emperors on top of his head in order to pursue longevity, then Liu Che will not do it!

With such awareness, after Liu Che returned to Chang'an, he expelled all the alchemists and said to the public that he no longer thought about longevity, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.I got a few alchemists before, but I didn't make any achievements, relying on a pair of bragging lips, I made it to the top of the sky, surpassing them, the ministers of the society, although everyone pinched their noses to admit it because of the majesty of the emperor, But you can't do it over and over again!If this tossing continues, wouldn't it make people think that all the ministers in the court are parallel imports, otherwise, why would such a stupid waste be called to a high position?What's more, these alchemists only need to talk about it once, but for them, it's different, they need to do things!If something goes wrong, they will also be held accountable!Well now, these alchemists have been expelled, at least there will be no more situations where laymen guide experts, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, those who also believe in the art of longevity are even more unwilling to let Liu Che live forever. You are so capable now, counting up, even Liu Bang, who is the worst-tempered, is not as mean as you. Do the math, since you ascended the throne, how many princes have lost their kingdoms?Even the princes and kings, you have used soft knives like Tuen Ling to cut flesh, but you have never been soft when you deal with the princes and kings, which made a group of princes and kings tremble with fear, for fear that if one of them didn't pay attention, they would be killed by Liu Che. Grab the handle.

As for the people in the palace, naturally they don't want Liu Bang to live forever. For concubines, wouldn't it be good for them to be a queen mother or empress dowager?If the Son of Heaven is still alive, doesn't it mean that these old people will have to watch more newcomers surpass themselves?For the prince, it is even more sad!I am going to die of old age, and I have to watch my own father alive and kicking, there is no meaning of passing on the position at all, isn't this a trap!The princes and kings are okay, like a prince, if there is a long-lived father, he will probably only vomit blood.

"I've finally come to my senses, I'm not stupid!" This is Chen Ajiao's evaluation of Liu Che. Chen Ajiao doesn't know if there are really gods in the world, but, starting from the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it is like the monarchs of the Xia Dynasty. They all claim to be the sun, and none of them can live forever. It may not be Liu Che's turn to suddenly live forever.Moreover, in Chen Ajiao's view, it is not surprising that Liu Che is among so many emperors.In fact, this person has not been highly evaluated in history books, at least far worse than his grandfather. Even the later sentence "cherish the Qin Emperor and Hanwu, and lose a little literary talent" compares him with the First Emperor, which makes him famous in history. The status has been raised a lot.It's like talking about Tang Zong and Song Zu. In fact, Song □□ is far worse than Tang Taizong.They are all engaged in coups, one directly kills brothers and sisters, and the other bullies orphans and widowed mothers, the pattern is different.

Chen Ajiao doesn't know how Liu Che will be evaluated in later generations. Anyway, in her opinion, when Liu Che mentions immortals, he feels like he has been cursed. Even if he is sane, his saneness is probably on the edge of a cliff. The kind that falls anytime.Now that Liu Che is finally not bothering about it, Chen Ajiao is relieved for him, at least she won't look too stupid when people talk about it in the future.After all, there is still the first emperor in front of him. The first emperor is so wise and powerful, and the people who ruled the six kingdoms are all deceived by longevity, let alone other people!

If Feng Yu knew what Chen Ajiao said, she would definitely complain for the first emperor. At least the first emperor, even if he wanted to live forever, did not give those alchemists any generals and marry princesses!In the end, when he found out that he had been duped, he didn't expect Liu Che to be so secretive, so he simply killed him.So, there have been many people who have sought immortality and longevity in the past dynasties, and no one has really elevated those alchemists and Taoists, that is, Liu Che, who made such jokes.

Liu Che's return has brought a lot of pressure to Liu Ju. Before Liu Che was away, Liu Ju supervised the country, and then the problem came out. This man always pays attention to tolerance, so during this period, he should have been hooked up. None of the prisoners were convicted.If it was a different dynasty, this might still be a good talk, but it is unreasonable for a big man. There was a prime minister before, and he was dismissed for this reason, almost losing his final face.

For this reason, the Legalists have some ideas about Liu Ju. The Legalists have always been good at making cruel officials. What they advocate is strict laws. Only strict laws and heavy codes can make people dare not violate the criminal law again.It seems that there were a few cruel officials in the past, such as Yi Zong. He was appreciated by Liu Che because he was in Changling and Chang'an because he was in Changling and Chang'an. There were many strong and powerful landlords in the county, and their arrogance was fierce. After Yi Zong arrived, he immediately killed the Rang family and other powerful families in the county. Hanoi County quickly stabilized.Afterwards, he was promoted to be the sheriff of Nanyang County, and he continued to operate. Even Ning Cheng, a cruel official who was also famous at the time, was ruined by him.

This is also the basic operation of many legalist officials these years. After arriving in the local area, first kill a group of local lawless tyrants, and then peace will be achieved.If they also pay attention to the rule of virtue and blindly benevolent, then those tyrants in the locality who have already run amok relying on their own connections and size may not be so arrogant!Many people around Liu Ju are tyrants from various places. They beautify the behavior of these local tyrants in various ways around Liu Ju. As a result, Liu Ju really regards these people as good local gentry, but thinks that the people below are all the same. Helping troublemakers, naturally the buttocks will be crooked.

The main reason why the old Liu family has always been popular is that they have always been on the side of the common people, suppressing the powerful, supporting small and medium landlords, and sheltering ordinary people.Anyway, when we go to the local area, when encountering powerful people fighting with ordinary people, we should first find the problem with powerful people, that is the political correctness of this era.Forcibly relocating the powerful, buying the land of the powerful, and then distributing it to the common people, this is the achievement of those local officials.In the end, when he came to Liu Ju's place, he actually got his position wrong, which made Liu Che unbearable!

Although Liu Che was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women, it doesn't mean that he has no experience. Liu Che can't sit still. He likes to run around since he was a child. When he was the prince, he often He ran out of Chang'an, and after becoming an emperor, he never had a peaceful life. He pretended to be Pingyanghou and trampled on the farmland, and was pointed and scolded by an old farmer. In the end, he had to honestly lose money.Therefore, in fact, he still barely knows a little bit about the sufferings of the people, and Emperor Xiaojing's education for him is actually relatively perfect, so Liu Che has been struggling in various ways, but the pace of suppression of powerful people has never slowed down.In short, even if he didn't really do anything for those low-level people, in a sense he increased the burden on those people, but he didn't help those powerful people either.In any case, the people at the bottom will benefit more or less from suppressing the powerful.

Like this time, Tingwei captured several powerful and even rangers. It stands to reason that the fate of these people is to behead them as a public example, and kill them as an example. As a result, Liu Ju felt that the sentence was too heavy. He is the prince of the prison, and he disagreed. However, Liu Che didn't express his position for the time being. Naturally, Wei Ting couldn't kill people casually, so he could only spend his time like this.This is not a way to waste time. You must know that in this era, there are often amnesties for various reasons. Of course, it is not a direct pardon, but generally a reduction of the crime. If you pay a fine, you might be able to go back arrogantly and continue to do your best when you turn around.

After figuring out what was going on, Liu Che became angry. Fortunately, he still gave Liu Shi face and didn't directly reprimand Liu Shi in front of others. In other words, he didn't mean to teach Liu Shi a lesson, but directly overthrew After realizing that Liu Ju's previous sentence was too severe, he called back and reiterated his opinion, and ordered Tingwei to do what he wanted, and there was no need to wait any longer. Before winter came, he would kill him first.These people are doing evil in the local area, and they are fish and meat for the common people. Is it possible to keep them for the New Year?

If Liu Che taught Liu Ju a lesson and told him clearly the stakes involved, then it might not be a bad thing for Liu Ju. After all, at least Liu Che still wanted to teach Liu Ju, but now he simply pretends that Liu Ju doesn't exist. Just make the decision yourself, which is bad.

Liu Ju thought that Liu Che had let him go, but he didn't know that in Liu Che's heart, it was obviously not worth saying anything about Liu Ju like this!If you are still young, it's fine if you are deceived by the people around you, but he is now an adult and has a son, but he still doesn't know the situation. Is he the prince of the Liu family, or those powerful princes?

Liu Che didn't beat him to death with a stick. He actually felt that he had given Liu Ju a chance. After all, he directly supported Ting Wei's previous judgment, which already represented his attitude.Liu Ju is already at this age, does he still need to remind himself?Liu Che has long been used to it. As an emperor, he wants to let the people below guess his own thoughts, instead of explaining everything clearly by himself, so the so-called emperor's mind is worthless?As the crown prince, Liu Ju couldn't be a simple son, but a courtier, or the closest courtier to him. Naturally, it was even more impossible for Liu Che to show his heart and soul to him.

Liu Ju didn't realize the seriousness of this matter, and complained to all the officials in the imperial womb that Liu Che really liked to appoint cruel officials, and often sentenced them too harshly. How could this kind of cruel punishment be convincing?The following group of people naturally said yes again and again.After so many years, the people around Liu Ju have also been screened, and almost all those who stayed were like-minded with Liu Ju. Some people originally arranged by Liu Che for Liu Ju were either marginalized or left directly.The ruler chooses the ministers, and the ministers also choose the ruler. These days, everyone is more moral. You can't change the family just because the ruler likes it.Therefore, no one around Liu Ju reminded him of the dangerous situation he was facing now. Instead, he was absorbed in fantasizing about the benefits he would get from waiting for Liu Ju to ascend the throne.

The situation Liu Ju is now facing is similar to that of his son Fusu, or even worse. At least the first emperor has placed high hopes on Fusu until later, and the final edict is for Fusu to succeed him.However, Liu Che didn't have the heart of the First Emperor's hatred of iron and iron to Fusu. When you get to the dark, just go back and change it.

Liu Ju didn't feel it, but Wei Qing already realized that Liu Che was becoming more and more alienated from the crown prince Liu Ju, which made him very anxious. However, he has only been the background board behind Liu Ju these years, and he never expressed his opinion in leisure. In fact, he was not without complaints in his heart, he always felt that Wei Qing should unconditionally support all his decisions, so Liu Ju actually didn't have much respect for his uncle Wei Qing.In comparison, as uncle and cousin, Gongsun He and his son are much closer. They have always stood by Liu Ju's side without hesitation, so Liu Ju doesn't mind helping Gongsun Jingsheng with some small troubles, even Under such circumstances, the relationship between Liu Ju and Gongsun Jingsheng became closer.

In comparison, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei have always been not close to the uterus, and Mrs. Wei even kept them at a respectful distance, which made Liu Ju very dissatisfied. Therefore, over the years, even Wei Zifu always said, It wasn't Wei Qing, he might not be able to be the prince, but Liu Ju didn't think so. In his opinion, he was the eldest son, and according to the etiquette, he should be the prince. Therefore, he didn't think Wei Qing had much regard for him as the prince effect.Wei Qing is obviously a foreign relative, but he can't take a clear stand on his side. For Liu Ju, it is almost like a betrayal. Therefore, he is more than polite to Wei Qing, but not close enough.

Wei Qing is a good person, although sometimes he seems a bit meek, but he can get to this day, at least he has no problem with the skill of knowing people.According to Liu Ju's city government, this snack machine is really nothing in Wei Qing's eyes.Although Liu Ju was dissatisfied with Wei Qing in various ways, Wei Qing didn't want Liu Ju's status to be unstable. Now that he found a problem, Wei Qing couldn't tell Liu directly, but he still went to remind Wei Zifu.

Wei Zifu was also in a dilemma. Liu Ju was actually not close to her biological mother. My child, I haven't had time to establish a deeper relationship with Wei Zifu, and people in the palace are often precocious. After Liu Ju knew Wei Zifu's unfeeling towards his daughter, he didn't feel that Wei Zifu treated him so deeply. emotion.People always have double standards these days. Liu Ju feels that since he is the eldest son, he should be the crown prince. It stands to reason that he should be grateful to Wei Zifu for giving him such a superior start, but Liu Ju feels that Wei Zifu only treats him well because he is the prince, so it has been difficult to fully trust Wei Zifu.In addition, because of the influence of the people around him, he felt that Wei Zifu came from a humble background and had limited vision. If he really obeyed Wei Zifu in everything, it would only lead to bad things.Therefore, for Wei Zifu, Liu Ju's respect and filial piety are definitely not lacking, but in political affairs, Liu Ju almost never listens to Wei Zifu's ideas.

This also made Wei Zifu very helpless. She could control her own daughter, but she could not control the prince's son. Therefore, in Liu Shi's marriage, Wei Zifu originally wanted to choose a prince who was born in everyone's family. However, Liu Zheng didn't have such an idea at all. There are already several women in his womb, but the one with the highest status is Liang Di, who has given birth to Liu Zheng's eldest son, Liu Jin. At first, Wei Zifu thought that it would be enough to let Shi Liangdi straighten him up, but Liu Shi never let go.

Shi Liangdi was born in the Shi family of the Lu State, and the Shi family is also a prominent family in the Lu State. Like Shi Liangdi's sister, she married Lu Wang Liu Guang. Since the sisters can be princes and queens, as Shi Liangdi, she is not unqualified to be a princess. However, even though Shi Liangdi gave birth to Liu Jin, neither Liu Che nor Liu Shi had any intention of letting Shi Liangdi go further. Therefore, even in the womb, Shi Liangdi is actually in charge of the backyard affairs, but , after all, it seems not justifiable enough.

Wei Zifu thought about choosing a woman from the Wei family to be Liu Ju's concubine before, but Liu Ju refused. There are many objections, so what can I do even if I become the queen mother in the future?But things have come to this point, Wei Zifu has no other choice except Liu Shi, and now hearing what his younger brother said, Wei Zifu can only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Brother Qing, the prince is old enough to have his own Advocate, I, as the queen mother, can't influence his thoughts!"

Wei Qing sighed: "Never mind, whatever, since that's the case, then I will leave!"

Wei Zifu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Brother Qing, after all, you are the prince's own uncle, and you are also the great general of Da Sima, why don't you go and persuade him?"

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "Empress, I'm already old, how can I have any prestige? His Royal Highness has grown up long ago, and I didn't exert any influence on him when he was growing up. What can I say to him now?" , I’m afraid it will arouse the disgust of His Royal Highness! Empress, you are the biological mother of the prince after all, he should still be able to listen to a few words, so I ask you to worry about it, after the minister, you can’t continue to serve the prince. What did you do!"

Everyone could hear the ominous meaning in Wei Qing's words. Seeing Wei Qing's aging appearance, Wei Zifu couldn't help but burst into tears. She held back her tears and said goodbye to Wei Qing, but she had a bad feeling in her heart.

After Wei Qing left the palace, within a few days, news spread that Wei Qing was seriously ill.
