Throughout December of the second year of Yuande, Chang'an was like a theater.

One script after another, constantly staged.

The craze for body poisoning has just faded a little.

The government and the opposition began to hype up the affairs of the salt and iron official camp.

But it is not that the Salt and Iron Division should be established.

Rather, who should be in charge of this salt and iron division!

In this matter, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Shaofu broke the dog's brain and fought the lawsuit all the way to Liu Che.

In today's world, the benefits of salt and iron are huge, as long as you are not blind, you can see it.

In the face of interests, the ruling and opposition factions quickly took sides, and the distinction between the two sides was clear.

It seems that Zhou Yafu's contribution to the elimination of Wu Chu and his indisputable role as the banner figure of the Liehou Meritorious Heroes Group seems to have a greater chance of winning.

But alas, the end result is that people have lost their glasses - if they had any.

Shaofu succeeded in having the last laugh and brought the Salt and Iron Division under his control.

And the final result of this matter also made Liu Che feel scared.

Although it is said that the salt and iron division is under the control of the Shaofu, this is expected.

But the group of heroes of the Liehou was defeated too quickly!

Before Liu Che even stood up to mediate, they collapsed, and even many people simply raised the white flag and surrendered to Shaofu.

On the surface, the rout of the liehou group led by Zhou Yafu seems to be because the two queen mothers of the East Palace successively summoned the ministers led by Zhou Yafu to give lectures, showing the rules and traditions of the ancestors, forcing the liehou group to admit defeat by themselves.

But......

How can there be such a simple thing on politics?

The Queen Mother admonished, and the Liehou civil official group obediently admitted defeat?

Obviously, a lot of people. Even the vast majority of nobles and ministers don't want it. The hand of the Prime Minister's Office is stretched too long, and the power of the Prime Minister is too great.

You must know Zhou Yafu's great contribution to pacifying the rebellion of Wu Chu. It is already the indisputable banner of the liehou group, and has high popularity in the army.

Such a person, if he is in control of the finances again, can govern as he pleases.

Then others are still playing Mao, Zhou Yafu can immediately become the Yi Yin and Zhou Gong of the Han Dynasty, and the power is above Yiqiē.

Not to mention the nobles and ministers, Liu Che has to secretly stumble.

It's just that the government is so ridiculous.

After Zhou Yafu failed to compete for the control of the Salt and Iron Division, Liu Che felt it. If you don't do a good job of supervision, God knows whether the future salt and iron division will be the royal money bag or the small treasury of the relatives and princes?

Therefore, Liu Che sold his relatives and Shaofu's interest groups very unscrupulously.

In the winter and December of the second year of Yuande, Liu Che issued an edict to change the history of Su Nei to Dasi Nong. He is in charge of the world's agriculture, water conservancy, and people's livelihood, and is also responsible for supervising and supervising the grain protection price policy and related matters of the Salt and Iron Division.

Although, the internal history of Zhisu, who was renamed Da Sima, cannot control the daily operation of the Salt and Iron Division for the time being, and only has the right to supervise and supervise.

But Liu Che believed. With the ability and tenacity of the civil service group, they will definitely put the salt and iron division in the air. Take charge of salt and iron affairs by yourself.

This is the nature of the civilian clique.

With the power of the Son of Heaven, Zhou Yafu won back a game. It seems that the situation has also been accepted and there is no further move.

But Liu Che knew. This donkey's grudge is no less than that of the others.

Moreover, the Han people have always paid attention to repaying virtue with virtue and repaying grievances with straightforwardness.

Some people, I'm afraid, will soon be unlucky.

Sure enough, after the Shuowang court meeting in December, the government and the opposition were as lively as rushing to the market.

On the ninth day of December, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Commander Yamen attacked hard.

Fan Hou Caike was impeached for several crimes such as 'entering Shanglin Yuan without obtaining the holy decree and entering Shanglin Yuan without permission', 'illegally selling the farm house, and bribing officials'.

None of these charges are a big deal.

In the Han Dynasty, the liehous who did not illegally buy and sell the field house did not exist at all, and as for taking slaves into the Shanglin Garden, although this was illegal, it was not very strict.

It is probably the same as the central government of the Celestial Empire in later generations, officials are not allowed to eat and drink at public expense, but officials still eat and drink at public expense, which is the norm.

But Cai Ke was unlucky, because he looked too ugly.

Who called him the first to surrender in the liehous?

Therefore, if he does not die, there is no reason.

What's even more tragic is that the Fan Hou family is actually a marginal figure of the Liehou group, even if it is Cai Ke's father Cai Jian, in fact, he is not an old brother who followed Liu Bang to fight the world, but the leader of the local forces who came to vote after Liu Bang's foundation was initially decided, and he surrendered with the Suiyang Order of Qin State.

Therefore, Cai Ke's 'incriminating evidence' was undoubtedly stripped of his title and demoted to a commoner.

This is still the reason why Zhou Yafu kept his hand.

Originally, based on the principle of shooting the first bird in the struggle of the Han family, Cai Ke would have already burned high incense if he was not carried with a 'private armor soldier and plotting against him'.

But the other two unlucky ones weren't so lucky.

Wu Houyang went to murder Ji's father and was sentenced to abandon the city.

Zhongmu waits for the final root of the single, sits on the murder, **, capital crime, and the country is removed.

A large number of Qianshi officials were also implicated in these cases and were driven home to farm.

Zhou Yafu shocked the entire government and the opposition with thunderous means, and at the same time sued others, if you want to be a second or fifth boy, do you have that fate?

So, the princes who came to their senses woke up one after another, and went to the Changping Marquis Mansion overnight to apologize.

Zhou Yafu also knows that this matter can only end here, and if he continues to play, he will be angry and resentful, so he will accept it when he sees it.

But Liu Che was quite regretful.

There are too many liehous, these guys have as few as a thousand households, and as many as ten thousand, and they don't produce, except for a few elites, most of them know how to fight cocks and lackeys and play with women.

Therefore, Zhou Yafu killed these liehous, in fact, to treat the Han family and pull out those sore-growing tumors.

It's just that Wuhou is a pity!

Yang Quji's father Yang Chengyan was the strongest craftsman in the Han Dynasty back then, and he was also the world's number one civil engineer.

Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, and even the actual builder of Chang'an City are this person.

And the title of Wuhou also came from this.

However, Liu Che couldn't save him!

Murder Ji's father, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't save him!

Liu Che had no choice but to send Wang Dao to a trip to Tingwei Prison, and then Wang Dao brought back more than 30 volumes of Yang Chengyan's experience and notes when he built Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace and Chang'an City.

After obtaining these classics, Liu Che issued an edict to pardon the two concubines of Yang Quji, which can be regarded as leaving a little blood and incense for the Yang family.

Zhou Yafu's side had just calmed down, and the Imperial Doctor Chao Cuo's side was making a commotion again.

For three days in a row, the wrong imperial historian Yamen kept writing books to impeach Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and he couldn't go away, and it was not done by a minister!

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, immediately put on the thank you form, confessed, and resigned.

Although Donggong was angry, it was to no avail.

In the Han system, the princes invited the Son of Heaven to stay in Beijing for two months at most.

At that time, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, had been in Chang'an City for three or four months, and the discussion between the government and the opposition was boiling.

Liu Wu stayed in Chang'an for more than half a year, and the imperial historian Yamen has been delayed so far before he expressed his position, which is already very face-saving.

On this issue, even the Empress Dowager of the East Palace cannot be blamed. (To be continued......)
