Han Shizu

Chapter 1105 Chaos in Chaotang

He is afraid of cold in winter and hot in summer. In the past two years, Emperor Liu has become more and more sensitive to heat and cold, and every hot and cold winter is a kind of torment for him.No, it’s the midsummer solstice of the year again. Emperor Liu almost escaped from the palace and went to Qionglin Garden to escape the summer heat. Although there is ice hidden in the palace, but the ice cubes are used too much, and they feel uncomfortable, which is not good for the body. .

To be honest, Qionglin Garden is not the best place to escape the summer heat, but the environment is beautiful, and the Jinming Pond can also bring a certain feeling of coolness, and the palace servants who serve the fan can also meet the needs of Emperor Liu.

If something is good at the top, it will be worse at the bottom. Similarly, if there is something bad at the top, there is no shortage of people at the bottom who actively speak out and propose solutions.Emperor Liu's habit of fearing the cold and heat is no secret.

Not long ago, Gao Xi, a senior admonisher from the right, presented to Emperor Liu, saying that His Majesty has worked hard for the country and benefited the people. For more than ten years, there is today's unification of the country, the prosperity of the empire, and the well-being of the people. As a courtier, he couldn't stand the suffering.Therefore, Gao Xi suggested to Emperor Liu to gather construction elites and recruit skilled craftsmen to build a detached palace that is warm in winter and cool in summer, so that he can get rid of the suffering of cold and heat and allow His Majesty to govern the world better.
For this memorial, Emperor Liu chuckled, it was really "outspoken and extremely admonishing", considerate and considerate for the emperor's father.Emperor Liu really felt that it was not easy for him as an emperor to be able to resist so many temptations. Looking at the world, everything is at your fingertips, and the entire empire can be enjoyed by yourself. Someone jump out, remind yourself, tempt yourself
Self-discipline is probably the most important quality of Emperor Liu.However, Gao Xi's memorandum made him think of Meng Chang, who was living alone in a golden cage in Tokyo.

Back then, Meng Chang was also afraid of the heat and cold, so he spent a lot of money and built a crystal palace on the Maha Pond with the utmost luxury for him and Mrs. Huarui to enjoy.

As a result, the country perished, he surrendered, the Crystal Palace was looted, all the rare decorations were dismantled and sent to Tokyo, and the well-known Lady Huarui became Emperor Liu's plaything on the couch.
I have to say that Gao Xi was unlucky. In the past, there were people who went to the emperor's practice palace, built other halls, and expanded the imperial city. Although Liu Chengyou refused, he didn't express anything else.

However, this time, Emperor Liu was reminded of Meng Chang, the subjugated king, and the consequences were a bit serious.Because Liu Chengyou felt that this was a greedy person, probably a treacherous minister, and then he instructed Zhang Dejun, the Secretary of the Imperial City, to investigate the admonishing doctor.

No matter how much Emperor Liu put in the administration of officials, how strict the standards were for his officials, and how he flaunted honest governance, the reality is that the officials of the big Han are afraid of investigation.

If there is no investigation, nothing will happen, and if there is an investigation, something will happen, not to mention that the emperor will take care of it personally. Generally, under such circumstances, nothing can be found out.As for Zhang Dejun, it can be said that he is well versed in the truth, and there is no need for him to deliberately fabricate charges. The bottom of Gao Xi's buttocks is not clean at all, and the bribery behavior detected can be traced back to the fifth year of Qianyou.
The witnesses and physical evidence are complete, the case is clear, and the disposition is quickly issued, such as dismissal, ransacking of the house, and exile.This is already the result of Emperor Liu's mercy. At least, he didn't peel the real grass and light the sky lantern.

Perhaps Gao Xi would never have imagined until his death that he was just imitating others and playing a memorial to the emperor to please the emperor, which led to such an unforeseen disaster.Speaking of the reason, it is quite surprising, but Emperor Liu thought of something bad.

However, if Gao Xi stands upright, there is a high probability that he will not end up with him.Compared with other colleagues, I have to lament his bad luck.

And Emperor Liu also had another emotion after passing this matter.Even though he has been restraining himself with words and deeds, restraining himself, and admonishing his subordinates, it seems that there are always people going forward to cater to him, please him, and charm him.
He is like a solid embankment, but there are always people like the tide, who are persistently trying to corrode him, break him down, and then rush to the free and vast world, and then bring disaster to the world.

Emperor Liu's delusional mentality of being persecuted seems to be getting worse.

During the period when Emperor Liu was escaping the summer heat in Qionglin Garden, there were endless turmoil and turbulent public opinion within the Han court, and the reason for this was the war in Hexi.

By the end of April, with the gradual recovery of the two prefectures of Gansu, the war in Hexi had basically come to an end, and the battle reports and other news from Hexi were also transmitted back to Tokyo.

According to the past situation, the news of success spread to the east, the army won a great victory, and Hexi was recovered. Such an achievement made the Manchu Dynasty rejoice at that time and congratulated the emperor.And the imperial court should also carry out aftermath work on the Hexi states that were newly incorporated into the imperial court system, and discuss the matter of rewards for meritorious soldiers.

It was the same this time, except that in the process of implementing these matters, there were some unexpected noises from the court.In general, the recovery of Hexi this time, from the start of sending troops to the completion of the restoration of Zhucheng and the surrender of the Uighurs, took just over a month, which can be described as swift.

However, many courtiers have criticisms, and the key lies in the process of westward march.For example, when Chai Rong gathered troops and horses, he wasted money and food, and delayed the farming season. Some people raised doubts. Since the Uyghurs could be wiped out so quickly, how can they explain the previous behavior?
Still have a close relationship with Liugu local tyrants and the Qiang chiefs, suspected of buying people's hearts; there are many old people in the army, but the leader of the horse is the leader, and the generals all bow their heads and obey orders; heavy.
A lot of discussions on the table have obviously changed, not like a compliment, but more like a kind of accountability, and it seems to be aimed at the British public chai Rong.What is even more pointed out is that the matter of Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin's killing of prisoners has been followed up in the looting and killing in Zendan City. Talking about these can make a group of officials stand on the commanding heights of morality and respect the generals. Cruelty is greatly questioned.

Under this kind of public opinion, the original happy event of opening up the frontier and expanding the land has also cast a shadow.The contributions of the soldiers who went westward after the bloody battle have also dimmed a lot under this kind of criticism.

This kind of public opinion is abnormal, and some opinions are ridiculous, but it really happened in the court room in Tokyo.Objectively speaking, it is somewhat unfair to the soldiers who fought bloody battles. Although Wei Renpu did not like massacres, especially killing prisoners, which hurt the peace of nature, he still showed the responsibility of the prime minister and served the generals Justify and harmonize public opinion.

Li Chuyun, the privy envoy, expressed his indignation, despising and condemning those officials who stood and talked without back pain.However, Zhao Kuangyin, the Duke of Rong, who was born as a military general, did not express any opinions. He was just a spectator, watching the play silently in the VIP seat.

Behind this public opinion, of course someone is promoting it, and the person who promoted it is still very high-ranking, Li Ye, uncle of the state and minister of the Ministry of punishment.Obviously, even after more than ten years, Uncle Li Guo's trouble-making personality has not changed, and his purpose is very simple, to establish prestige.

Speaking of Uncle Li Guo, this is a man with great ambitions and dedication, but even after more than ten years of experience in the local area, he has achieved considerable political achievements and improved abilities. When he was transferred back to the central government by the emperor to serve as a senior official, There are still quite a few people who look down on him, thinking that he owes his current status to the Queen Mother.

Therefore, after returning to the imperial court, Li Ye, who was full of spirits and planned to use his talents to assist the Holy King and create another great cause, obviously felt that others looked down on him.

This is very uncomfortable for Li Ye, who is proud and arrogant. He has done a good job in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. However, if he wants to display it, he must have enough authority.

In the case of Hu Meng, the servant of the household department last year, it was also he who turned his hands into clouds and rained his hands, knocking him down from the high-ranking officials in the clouds.This time, the matter of the Western Expedition made him discover a loophole that could be exploited, and he decisively took advantage of it.

Even the British Gongchai family and Li Ye dared to target and do it. It is conceivable that no matter whether it succeeds or not in the end, who would dare to underestimate Uncle Li Guo?
Some changes in the dynasty, Emperor Liu is very insightful. Compared with the Qianyou period, although the Kaibao Year has only just started, it is much more complicated in all aspects.

Many problems that did not exist during the Qianyou period will be exposed one by one as time goes by.Just like the common people in the world, in the process of the world from division to unification, they need to adjust and adapt. Emperor Liu's rule from Qianyou to Kaibao will also face new challenges.

Now, there is a sign, party struggle!This time, it was a conflict between the hero and his relatives. Seriously speaking, Chai Rong also belonged to his relatives in terms of the disconnected relationship between Chai and Guo.
