Chapter 1103 Good Man Liu Zhang
How to deal with Liu Zhang and his ministers, Liu Xie was a little hesitant at first.

Liu Yan has nothing to say, the reverse has been revealed, and he is even worse than Liu Biao.But he has already been condemned by God, and the matter of punishing him can only be left to the late emperor.Considering his two sons, Liu Fan and Liu Dan, who were killed by Li Jue, it is estimated that the late emperor would not be easy to attack.

As for Liu Zhang himself, he is even more innocent.

This is a useless person, a puppet from beginning to end.This is true for succession, and it is also true for professing ministers.

He also has an elder brother, Liu Mao, who married the wealthy Wu family, and is Liu Yan's favorite heir.Liu Yan's last wish before his death was to designate Liu Mao to succeed him.Yizhou rich Zhao Wei and others felt that Liu Zhang was easy to control, so they elected Liu Zhang as the governor of Yizhou.

Perhaps the only tough thing Liu Zhang did was to kill Zhang Lu's mother, Mrs. Lu.

Other than that, he's a puppet.

For such a person, there is no point in killing him, but it will allow the real person responsible to escape.

Moreover, Liu Zhang moved westward with the imperial court, and later entered Shu because of Liu Xie's intention to persuade Liu Yanqin to be king, so Liu Yan stayed by his side.As Liu Zhang himself, he did not do anything to offend the court.

So Liu Xie decided to let Liu Zhang go and deal with those who refused Zhao Wen's persuasion to surrender and had been stubbornly resisting.

Zhao Wei is dead, but the others are still there.

After a little discussion with Yang Biao, Zhao Wen and others, the imperial edict was issued.

Brother Liu Zhang was exempted from being a commoner, imprisoned for life, and not allowed to be an official.

The world will be settled, they have no value to use, and Liu Yanmou is in the front, it is really unreasonable not to deal with it.

As for the others, they will be dealt with one by one according to their attitude towards the court.

Those who opposed professing to the court at the beginning should be killed, those who should be ransacked, and those who should be exiled.

Those who support professing ministers to the court will have their own worship according to their talents.

The most typical one is Yan Pu, who was officially worshiped as the prefect of Guanghan.

The direct promotion from an official to two thousand shi is not only to give the scholar Sun Rui face, but also to reward Yan Pu himself.

Then, Liu Xie issued an edict to recruit [-] handsome young men who were interested in joining the army in Yizhou to join the lecture hall.

After the edict was issued, Liu Xie summoned Liu Zhang.

Compared with ten years ago, Liu Zhang is much haggard, and his eye circles are also a bit dark. It should be because he has not slept soundly all the time.After seeing Liu Xie, he fell down on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and claimed to be a capital offender.

Liu Xie was also a little emotional.

In this chaotic world, the wicked succeed and the good suffer.If Liu Zhang was really a villain, he would not have fallen to where he is today.

Liu Xie got up, helped Liu Zhang up, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ji Yu, how many years have we not seen each other?"

Liu Zhang wiped away his tears, raised his hand and flipped it over. "It's been ten years. I was ordered to enter Shu, but failed. I failed His Majesty. I really feel ashamed."

Liu Xie smiled and signaled Liu Zhang to take his seat.

After exchanging pleasantries, he explained the original intention of summoning Liu Zhang.

Imprisoning Liu Zhang was not aimed at Liu Zhang himself, but because he was Liu Yan's heir.Except for Liu Zhang, no one can bear this responsibility.But the imprisonment is just not allowing him to be an official, and there are no other restrictions.After returning to his hometown, he can study behind closed doors, and he can also do some business. Although he will not become rich, he will not live in embarrassment.

As the clan, the Jiangxia Liu family is a distant branch.As a rich family, the Liu family in Jiangxia still has a solid foundation.Even after Du Tian, ​​it is more than enough to maintain life.

Liu Zhang was very calm, saying that he deserved what he deserved.If the emperor didn't kill him, he was already so grateful that he didn't dare to think too much.

He has a request, but it is not for himself, but for his elder brother Liu Mao.

Liu Mao is quick-tempered and always arrogant. After marrying Wu Yi's younger sister, he feels that he has a great responsibility on his shoulders.Unexpectedly, after Liu Yan's death, Zhao Wei and others elected Liu Zhang as the leader and threw him aside without even giving him a formal official position.

Liu Mao was furious because of this, and once thought of rebelling against the army, but was persuaded by his wife Wu.

He didn't raise an army, but he was depressed because of it. Over the past few years, his spirit has become a little abnormal, and his body has also become weak.

This time he went to court to plead guilty, and someone persuaded him to divorce his wife, lest the news of Wu's noble life would reach the ears of the emperor and cause unnecessary suspicion.But Liu Mao has been wronged all these years, thanks to Wu's persuasion, the husband and wife feel very good and refuse to divorce.

Liu Zhang wanted to ask Liu Xie to let Liu Mao go, and not to convict or force them to reconcile because of rumors that the Wu family has a noble life.

Liu Xie laughed out loud after hearing this.

"Ji Yu, you are such a kind person. At this time, you still want to beg for mercy. Okay, for your kindness, I agree. You go back and tell Liu Mao to let him recover from his illness and raise his children well. In the future When you are an adult, send it to my side."

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, and thanked him again.

After seeing Liu Zhang, Liu Xie immediately summoned Qin Mi.

Qin Mi was in a very good mood.

He was worshiped as Shangshu and became a close minister of the emperor.Although the grade is not high, it is very suitable for him.After the news was announced, many people came to congratulate him, including Wang Can.

Wang Can is currently studying the classics of the Western Regions, like a fish in water.He tried his best to encourage Qin Mi to study the knowledge of the Western Regions like him, and not to care too much about the temporary grade.The emperor's ambition is in the world, as long as he follows the emperor, he will go to the Western Regions in the future, and Qingzi will be able to pick it up.

After seeing the ceremony, Qin Mi told the emperor one by one the process of the trip.He made sufficient preparations and wrote a memorial in advance for the emperor to read slowly.

Liu Xie was very satisfied and asked about Qin Mi's wish.

Qin Mi expressed his satisfaction with the current situation, and immediately recommended Zhou Qun emphatically.

He told Liu Xie Zhou Qun's reaction to Yang Xiu's two articles, and said that Zhou Qunzhi was not in an official career and was very suitable for studying astronomy and astrology.For the hypothesis put forward by Yang Xiu, he has the interest and ability to further study, but he lacks a good telescope.

Liu Xie was a little surprised.

It may be that he knew the answer a long time ago, and he gave great support to Yang Xiu's hypothesis, but he did not verify it.

As far as he knows, there is no telescope that can tell whether the shape of the stars is round or flat. He doesn't know where the telescope in Yang Xiu's hand came from, and he doesn't care too much.

There was nothing he could do about Zhou Qun's request.

After thinking about it for a while, he accepted Qin Mi's recommendation and arranged Zhou Qun to the Taishi Department, allowing him to concentrate on studying astronomy and astrology.

As for the telescope, it may have to wait.

Military telescopes are still being developed, and there is no possibility of success in the short term, but breakthroughs will surely be made in the future, and telescopes that can be used to observe astronomy will also continue to develop.

This will be a very important industry, far from being as simple as toys.

Although he failed to get the telescope as he wished, Qin Mi was still very satisfied.After he told Zhou Qun the emperor's reply, Zhou Qun was also very satisfied and accepted the emperor's task with pleasure.

Not only that, he also volunteered to join the development team of the telescope.

Observing for many years not only allowed him to know the stars well, but also exercised his hands-on ability.He has made some small tools before, and the effect is still good.If you can participate in the study of the telescope, maybe it can help.

Liu Xie agreed to Zhou Qun's request and let him participate in the development of the telescope as Taishi.
