Autumn August 23.

Shen Tujia was buried in the burial area south of Yangling.

Liu Che stood on the wall of Yanglingyi from afar and witnessed the whole process.

At this moment, Yangling no longer has the grandeur of the previous life, because the reign of the first emperor was too short.

The scale of the entire imperial tomb has shrunk by at least half compared to the huge Yangling Tomb in history.

Among them, the size of the burial area and the imperial mausoleum itself has shrunk by almost two-thirds.

Despite this, the cemetery is still a large city comparable to a county town.

For example, the city wall of Yanglingyi under Liu Che's feet is two zhang wide and about one zhang high, like a fortress, firmly guarding the imperial mausoleum.

In the northeast of the cemetery in the distance, the construction of the imperial mausoleum project is still continuing.

Where is the future resting place of the Empress Dowager Bo in the East Palace, which is commonly known as the Houling.

The imperial mausoleum of the Han Dynasty, compared with the royal mausoleum of the later dynasties, is the most peculiar place.

The emperor's mausoleum seat faces east to the west, and the queen's mausoleum seat faces east and west.

This is called 'different acupoints in the same place'.

Since Liu Bang, the imperial mausoleum of the Han dynasty has been laid out in this way.

In addition, because the Qin and Han dynasties both regarded the Zhaomu system of the Zhou Dynasty as a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, the imperial tombs of the Han dynasty did not have the need to follow the Zhaomu system at all.

As a result, Yangling and Baling, as well as the Maoling that Liu Che found for himself, were not in the front and back positions on a horizontal line at all.

"In the past few days, the princes have been very restless...... Liu Che asked Zhao Yu, the court lieutenant who was following him, as he walked, "Did the court lieutenant hear any rumors?" ”

Zhao Yu lowered his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has heard some ......"

But in his heart. But I couldn't help but tremble.

In the past sixty years of history, every time the Son of Heaven summoned the court captain alone. This means that the Son of Heaven has decided to take a group of people under the knife.

Especially in the current situation - Zhao Yu was suddenly summoned here by an angel at the Tingwei Yamen. He rode in the chariot of the Tiger Benwei and walked over the road dug by Shaofu for the construction of Yanglingyi.

Zhao Yu came here, and the whole process was kept secret.

Even his deputy, the Imperial Lieutenant, knew nothing about it.

There is no precedent for such a situation in the history of the Han Dynasty.

Even when Zhou Bo and Chen Ping conspired to overthrow Zhu Lu, the secrecy work was not so meticulous.

can be compared, probably only the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping recorded in the history books. Qin Ting's deployment in order to conceal the news of Bai Qi as a general.

As long as he thought that he would soon be able to control the fate of several or even dozens of princes, Zhao Yu, a poor scholar who started with a sword and pen, couldn't help but get excited.

"Very good......" Liu Che smiled and turned back and praised: "I asked people to put some things in the carriage under the city tower, Aiqing will look at it slowly after she goes back, after reading it, I believe Aiqing knows what to do!" ”

"No!" Zhao Yugong bowed his head.

Liu Che turned around and looked ahead, in the far south of the cluster burial area, more than 100 marquis and their representatives. He was solemnly watching Shen Tujia's funeral.

I don't know if these guys know how much of a mistake they made.

"How dare you go against me...... Liu Che groaned: "It's really self-defeating!" ”

In the past few days, the political situation in Chang'an has been very strange.

After Liu Che's edict was issued. Public opinion and courtiers sang praises.

Legalists and Confucians are even louder: the money system is out of date, and the old money should be discarded as soon as possible and new money should be used.

But in private, there is an undercurrent.

A large number of people whose interests have been damaged in this reform or who feel that their interests have been damaged. In tandem.

On the side of the text, they adopted a note with sixty-four joint signatures of the Hou. Asked Liu Che to "suspend the policy of abolishing money and live with the people's livelihood" because of the sudden change in the money system. Fear of hurting the country's capital' and even threatening 'If Your Majesty acts too quickly, I am afraid that the sea will be resentful, and the people will not be able to make a living', 'The four seas have the intention of boiling, and the mountains and rivers are in danger of collapsing'.

Nima, who are you scaring about?

If they talk well, Liu Che may also talk to them.

But they actually threatened.

Threatening an emperor, no matter what the era, is a sign of death.

Since they are dead, Liu Che doesn't mind letting them know what it means to be nozuonodie.

Of course, you can't just kill or maim these guys.

Otherwise, what will this public opinion think?

Moreover, the political situation in Chang'an this time is very strange.

In addition to these princes who jumped out, Liu Che found at least two or even three signs of black hands agitating and operating behind the scenes and even encouraging these people through the secret agents of the embroidered guards - otherwise, how could those princes who have stayed away from politics and eat and wait for death every day have such courage or self-confidence?

In addition, embroidered clothes guard report.

Even if it was Liu Che's basic plate in the past, the examiners, there were a lot of voices against the waste of money this time.

This made Liu Che very disappointed.

It has only been three years since the emergence of the examination, and the system is far from perfect, and it is far from having the power to influence national policy.

The scholars who went to officialdom through this system have rapidly become corrupt.

According to the reports of the more than 4,000 scholars assigned to the grass-roots level in Guanzhong, more than 2,000 have had close ties with the local wealthy merchants and tycoons, and most of them have even had a marriage relationship with them.

The rest of the people, those who can still stick to their original ideals and ideas, may be as rare as the giant pandas of later generations.

Although Liu Che has never had any hope or hope for this.

The corruption and depravity of officials cannot be stopped by mortals.

However, this time, among the scholars who came out of the examination, there were actually a large number of voices that did not fit in with Liu Che.

This made Liu Che very disappointed.

This made Liu Che realize a problem: what he needed was not some such officials from all over the world, with all kinds of thoughts and various demands, and he could not expect such officials to follow his orders wholeheartedly and unswervingly.

Because, such an official does not know or understand at all what Liu Che wants to do, and how grand the great cause Liu Che wants to accomplish.

"I need a group of people of my own in the true sense, such as Ji Di, Yan Yi, Zhang Tang, and Yi Zong, who know and understand my intentions and are willing to work hard for this new official group, instead of the current examination system, the elected officials, compared with the old bureaucrats in the past, only expand the selection base, but in fact they are still changing the soup but not the medicine!"

After this incident, Liu Che finally realized a mistake he had made in the past.

Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great.

Liu Che is already determined to correct it next year. (To be continued......)
