I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 162 February

Liu Chong used to be ambitious, otherwise he would not try to get involved in military power which was taboo for princes and kings.

Although there was a reason for the incident, Luo Jun was entirely responsible for the apparent crime.

But after this experience, Liu Chong didn't have any ambitions. It would be good to be alive.

When he learned that the world was amnesty, he first thanked him from a distance, and then left the prison under the leadership of the jailer and saw the light of day again.

After leaving the prison and standing on the road, he looked at the warm winter sun and raised his shabby sleeves to block the dazzling sunlight.

"King Chen, King Chen..."

Hearing the call, Liu Chong looked back and saw a eunuch walking towards him and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty invites you!"

The eunuch Chen Nai was highly respected in Xiaohuangmen, but Liu Chong did not dare to entrust him to the throne, so he treated him with courtesy.

Under the leadership of Gao Wang, he took a bath and changed clothes, and waited until everything was ready before going to see him.

Liu Bian still thought of Chen Wangchong after Yang Xu reminded him.

As soon as Liu Bianfu came to the throne, of course he could not kill the princes and kings who had not been killed by Emperor Xian. Not only that, he also had to show his friendly attitude towards the princes and kings and unite the clan members.

The presence of the princes and kings in the late Han Dynasty was very small, which is inseparable from the long-standing policies.

Liu Bian thought this was good. The Han family had many clans, and there were many princes and kings involved in political affairs. These princes and kings did not develop to the extent that they would hinder the country's finances.

Liu Chong's posture was very humble. Although in terms of seniority, he is Liu Bian's grandfather.

More than a year in prison has left an indelible impact on him, which cannot be washed away in just one bath.

Seeing that Liu Chong was very wise, Liu Bianquan tried to appease him: "King Chen will stay in Luoyang for a few days to recuperate, and then he will return to his territory."

Liu Chong did not dare to object and kept saying yes. I just lamented in my heart that I might not be able to return to Chendi alive.

Liu Bian asked again about his life in the territory, and Liu Chong answered him one by one.

Finally, Liu Bian said: "King Chen is the elder in the clan and should be a role model for the clan. If you encounter officials who bully the people, you can report it."

Only then did Liu Chong become convinced that Liu Bian really wanted to let him go.

This time I said yes sincerely.

Liu Bian added: "Like what happened with Luo Jun, if King Chen could have discovered earlier that Luo Jun was taking official grain privately and sent a letter to the court, the current results would not have been caused..."

Liu Chong cupped his hands and thought for a while before replying: "I am incompetent."

After meeting Chen Wang Chong, Liu Bian issued an edict, allowing the princes and kings to write letters every three months to express their opinions, which showed that Liu Bian cared about the clan.

For Liu Bian, if these princes and kings with limited power could act as eyes and ears in their territory, it would be regarded as the people's support for them.

As for the possibility of it working, I can only say it is better than nothing!

At the beginning of February, Huangfu Song was ordered by the emperor to open Chencang and distribute the grain to help the people in the fields, who had exhausted their grain reserves and were in the lean stage, spend the most difficult two months.

Later Huangfu Song reported: Those who received the food all faced the east and bowed to thank the emperor for his kindness.

In the past, it is not that there were no local officials who wanted to organize households and improve the population, but there were only a few who were willing to hand out real food grains, and most of them took administrative positions.

The people who were registered as household members returned home.

At the beginning, General Hussar came to Yuntai Palace again and passed by Weixingmen. At that time, Yun was the prince's concubine and the order of Weixingmen. When he saw him again, he liked him very much, so he asked Yun to be the commander of the general's army.

The emperor was reluctant to give up and asked again, but the emperor agreed.

... When the time came to early February, Liu Bian finally decided on the candidates for rebuilding the Han Code.

Although Lu Zhi never expressed the general's intention to re-establish Han law, Liu Bian still gave him the title.

As the Grand Duke, who is higher than the Three Dukes and the General, even if the teacher-student relationship with Liu Bian is not considered, his status alone is enough to overwhelm the ministers, which is justifiable.

Moreover, the general does not mean that Lu Zhi has to do most of the work, just to ensure that there are no problems with the content of the law.

Under the Taifu, Shangshutai, Sangong's Mansion, and Tingwei were all involved.

People in important positions naturally had to handle official duties before they could participate. Those who were truly free around the clock were Xun Shuang, the attendant, and Liu Bian's teachers Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong. Zheng Xuan also wrote annotations for Han Code.

In the context of interpreting the law through scriptures, another confrontation between ancient texts and modern texts is inevitable.

During this period, there was another thing worth mentioning. Under Liu Bian's arrangement, Hua Tuo found out that Xun Shuang had an underlying disease before he even felt his pulse, so he treated it with decoction.

Xun Shuang often suffers from abdominal pain and is relieved by taking medicine.

Liu Bian also arranged for Hua Tuo to spend some time diagnosing the pulse of the ministers and other important ministers to nip the problem in the bud. Unexpectedly, he diagnosed another Yangxu that was more serious than Xun Shuang's hidden disease. According to Hua Tuo's words, if it happens again, If treated later, life will be short.

For this reason, Yangxu could only put down his government affairs temporarily to recuperate.

Dinghai day.

Emperor Xiaoxian was buried in Wenling.

Those who have no children among Emperor Xian's concubines must guard the imperial mausoleum for Emperor Xian.

This was custom-made, and it was difficult for Liu Bian to change it, but at least they were still alive and did not need to be buried.

As for Cai Nu in the palace who had not had contact with Emperor Xian, Liu Bian ordered that those with families should return home and marry at will.

During this period, some ministers wrote letters suggesting that Liu Bian should take his moral policy a step further and let more maids out of the palace. Liu Bian did not agree after thinking about it.

Unlike Cai Nu, who came to the emperor's harem and most of them came from good backgrounds, most of the ordinary palace ladies came from humble backgrounds. Whether they were at home or not was a problem. Even if they could go home, they might not be as good as being in the palace. !

It's still February, and if the palace maid's family can't count on releasing someone by force, it's no different than sending someone to death.

However, Liu Bian finally asked Queen Mother He to open the door to the list of maids released from the palace this year. Anyone who volunteers can go.

In this way, you can save a small sum of money on salary expenses.

During this period, another great scholar was recruited by the bus. Shi Wangqian, the former general general, returned to Luoyang with his son Wang Can.

Wang Can was thirteen years old, a man of rare talent, but among the seven sons of Jian'an, he was the one who loved to listen to the braying of donkeys.

When Wang Qian came to Luoyang this time, he also had the idea of ​​​​allowing Wang Can to meet the world's talents.

In addition to the great Confucian scholars, the famous scholars and sages recommended by Gongqing Erqianshi and others do not necessarily need to be received by Liu Bian one by one.

As people from various places arrived one after another, Liu Bian saw many names he was familiar with on the list.

For example, Xun You was recommended by Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan, and Cheng Yu was recommended by Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun.

The former did not surprise Liu Bian, but Qiao Mao recommended Cheng Yu, who had no background, so that Liu Bian, who had not been impressed by him at first, remembered him.

In fact, Liu Bian didn't know that Qiao Mao wanted to recommend Chen Gong, who was from a higher position, but Chen Gong didn't want to be recommended by him and went directly to visit friends in a distant place. In anger, he didn't want to make a profit from this transaction and recommended him directly. Cheng Yu.

In addition, there were several former officials of He Jin who were recommended because they either refused He Miao's offer to stay or because He Miao did not ask to stay at all and remained in vain.

Such as Pang Ji and Chen Lin.
