I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 159 The emperor is in power, why is Huo Guang suspicious (please subscribe)

Liu He had already cultivated caution into an instinct, so his words were very tactful.

And Zhao Chongguo is not Huo Guang, how dare he say no, he said quickly: "Your Majesty is the emperor, what is the sacred metaphor, the old minister just listens to it."

"I thought that the lives of these soldiers were too poor. If they didn't have enough to eat, how could they talk about marching and fighting."

"So, I think, should the imperial court add some money and food to these low-level soldiers, especially the low-level soldiers in the border counties. It doesn't need to be too much, just one hu millet or two hundred dollars a month."

Liu He's proposal touched Zhao Chongguo's heart. He is different from Huo Guang who started from the Chinese court.

It was fought with a knife and a gun at the front line. I know how difficult it is for the soldiers on the front line.

"Your Majesty and the veteran have the same thought, but the imperial court also has a lot of expenses, and different government offices have different thoughts. It is impossible for everyone to think about the soldiers."

Zhao Chongguo has already spoken very euphemistically, did not specify who opposed it, and was very restrained.

"This may have been the case in the past, but Father Zhong insisted on a big battle, probably because he wanted to revive Emperor Xiaowu's Yu Lie. If the old general proposed it at this time, there might be a better result."

"Your Majesty's words are justified. The old man has brought this matter up with the General in the past few days."

"Well, if Father Zhong still disagrees, then I will pay the money."

"From the oral tax collected every year, a sum of three qian per person will be allocated, and it will be distributed to the soldiers in the name of salt and gold. As for the level of soldiers to be distributed, it is up to you to decide."

Males under the age of 14 have to pay an oral tax of [-] qian a year, which is an income of the Shaofu.

Liu He said it calmly, if you have money, you should spend it responsibly.

The best place for money is to take it from the people and use it for the people.

"Your Majesty has already given generous rewards to the soldiers who are about to go to war a few days ago, how can you withhold money and food from your Majesty's young mansion?" Zhao Chongguo waved his hands again and again.

"Old general, don't shake your head in a hurry, just listen to what I have to say."

"promise."

"I've already thought about it. If I don't build palaces, mausoleums, or construction within these three years, at least hundreds of millions of money and food can be saved. If these money and food are used on soldiers, I will feel more at ease. It's my kindness, so don't refuse the old general."

The emperor spoke very sincerely, and Zhao Chongguo, who had passed his sixtieth year, could not help but feel a little moved.

Zhao Chongguo didn't have much contact with Emperor Xiaozhao, and he didn't know what Emperor Xiaozhao was like, but he had witnessed the demeanor of Emperor Xiaowu.

I don't know why, although today's emperor said it was a "trivial matter", Zhao Chongguo always felt that the emperor seemed to have some remnants of Emperor Xiaowu.

What is this legacy?

Zhao Chongguo couldn't speak for a while.

"However..." Liu He said, "I'm afraid there is one more embarrassing thing?"

"What is Your Majesty worried about?"

"I am willing to pay, but the old general has to figure out a way to get it himself, because I have not been in charge of the government yet, so it is not appropriate to meddle too much in the government."

right!The emperor hasn't been in charge yet, so what he said doesn't count.

Um?Why is the Son of Heaven still not in charge of the government, and why doesn't he count what he says?
In just over an hour, Zhao Chongguo saw that the emperor had the ability to govern himself.

Not only can be pro-government, but also do a good job.

The general should try to let go, instead of being so detailed like he is now.

"The old minister understands His Majesty's difficulties. His Majesty is willing to fight for a share of money and rations for the soldiers. The old man can't just sit idly by. The old man personally went to tell the general that he must let him add a share of money and rations to the soldiers."

"That's very good, but when the old general discusses this matter with Father Zhong, don't say that I brought this up, lest Father Zhong become suspicious."

"The emperor is in power, why should Huo Guang be suspicious!"

This is what Zhao Chongguo thought in his heart, but when he said it, it turned into another sentence: "The old minister has his own sense of propriety, and he will not make the general suspicious."

His Majesty has not made it clear, Zhao Chongguo can't speculate.

If you guess wrong about this kind of thing, it will cause chaos in the world.

Next, Liu He asked some questions about the armored soldiers and war horses of the Han army.

Under Zhao Chongguo's detailed explanation, Liu He has a better understanding of the true strength of the Han army.

And he also found a lot of places that can help the Han army.

It seems that when the group of officials trained by Liu He in Changyi Kingdom arrives, they will be busy immediately.

……

Unknowingly, an hour passed, the first lecture was over, Liu He benefited a lot, and Zhao Chongguo also gained a lot.

The few wooden slips on the case were filled to the brim with Liu He's writing.

"An hour flies so quickly. The old general is busy with military affairs, so he can go back first. Don't forget the day when he comes to teach me next time."

"If the old minister dare not forget, then the old minister will resign."

Zhao Chongguo stood up, but because he had been sitting for too long, his body was stiff and his legs were sore and numb, so he couldn't stand firmly, staggered and almost fell down.

Liu He got up quickly and supported Zhao Chongguo to stand up.

"Old general, please take care of your health. If the big man lacks you, it will not work. Next time the old general comes again, I will definitely prepare a softer mattress for you. I was negligent this time."

"Thank you for your majesty's care." Zhao Chongguo said with trepidation.

Zhao Chongguo bid farewell to the emperor, and left Qingliang Hall full of emotion.

I don't know why, the sun today is as vicious as it has been these days, but Zhao Chongguo feels that it doesn't seem so annoying.

As he walked towards the Shangshu Office, he recalled what he had just said when he was teaching with the emperor.

When leaving, the emperor said that he had benefited a lot, but Zhao Chongguo also felt that he had gained a lot.

Although the emperor didn't know much about the details of "military affairs", some of the insights and opinions he put forward were extraordinary.

What is even more commendable is that no matter if it is a general or Fan Mingyou, they always look down from a height, and there is always a layer of separation between them and ordinary soldiers.

But the Son of Heaven is different.It seems to be able to stand in the position of the soldiers and look up, and the natural replacement can appreciate the hard work of the soldiers.

I don't know if the emperor also has a talent for strategizing and winning thousands of miles.

Walking while thinking like this, Zhao Chongguo came outside the Shangshu Office without knowing it.

He didn't go in immediately, but hesitated outside the door, thinking about how to convey the emperor's thoughts to the general.

When he looked up at the gate of the humble Shangshu Office, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Didn't you come to the palace today to teach His Majesty?

But it seems that I didn't teach His Majesty too much, but I actually "accepted" a military order from the emperor.

Zhao Chongguo felt a little uneasy, is His Majesty interfering in military affairs?

But he thought about it again, isn't it normal for His Majesty to participate in the government?

And His Majesty's suggestion is really good.

Zhao Chongguo secretly made a decision. From now on, teaching His Majesty must be a top priority!
Thinking of this, he walked steadily towards the Shangshu Office.

……

In this way, in the next few days, Liu He met Li Guang, the lieutenant in charge of criminal law, Le Cheng, who was in charge of the Shaofu, and Tai Chang, who was in charge of the sacrificial etiquette of the housekeeper...

No matter who Jiuqing is facing, Liu He has put forward some opinions of his own from the perspective of public heart.

Such as improving the living conditions of prisoners in prison, reducing various unnecessary expenses in the palace, and reducing unnecessary etiquette as much as possible...

These things are trivial things that Huo Guang has no time to pay attention to, but they can actually change the lives of many people, and they are actually more important things.

Of course, every time he tactfully put forward his own suggestions, Liu He would always add with a naive face: "This matter is just my private thought. When I mentioned it to Father Zhong, don't say that I said it, lest Zhong Father thinks about it."

Liu He's expression was always so sincere. Except for Zhao Chongguo, the rest of the people not only didn't have too much suspicion, but also said that the emperor was considerate.

……

On July [-]th, Liu He finally waited for the long-awaited Jiuqing - Da Sinong.

Except for Shaofu and Dasinong, the other government offices cost money, so Liu He was naturally the most concerned.

Although the money managed by the Dasinong cannot enter the pockets of the Shaofu, it is in charge of matters related to people's livelihood such as persuading farmers to cultivate and mulberry, salt and iron monopoly, equalization and leveling, and construction of water conservancy.

This is what Liu He cares about the most.

However, Liu He was not very satisfied with Tian Yannian who took up the post of Da Si Nong.

Because, this is a corrupt official.

And it's not just a corrupt official, but also a hardcore Huo party, even so hard that he doesn't want his face!
