Liu Che got up early the next morning.

Under the service of Zhao Shao, he dressed neatly, tied the ribbon, and then stood quietly at the door of the palace of the imperial palace, waiting for his father's messenger.

Daddy's messenger hasn't come yet.

Ju Meng rushed over with two of his subordinates.

"...... at home" drama Meng bowed deeply, and after getting Liu Che's permission, he approached him and whispered a few words in Liu Che's ear.

After Liu Che listened, the corners of his mouth snorted coldly.

"Good means!" Liu Che stood up, he looked at Ju Meng, and ordered: "Qing take the token of Lone, go and invite the servant Yuan Si, come to the Lone Palace for a while this afternoon!" ”

"No!" Ji Meng bowed and nodded.

"Si Gong is an elder, be polite!" Liu Che commanded.

Liu Che turned to look at the rising sun in the east.

He shook his head.

It turns out that there are always a lot of stupid people in this world who think they have a lot of strength.

The things that Meng Lai reported in the drama are actually very simple.

This morning, after Ju Meng got up, he found that several Guanzhong ranger leaders who were originally very honest under his command came to resign with him.

asked the reason, it was actually Ji Xin who spoke and asked these people to come over to help, as for what the specific thing was, none of those ranger leaders would say.

Who is Ji Xin? Why is it so powerful?

This question is as clear in Liu Che's heart as a mirror.

Ji Xin is the younger brother of the former Hedong Taishou Ji Bu, and he is also the biggest ranger leader in Guanzhong!

In his previous life, Liu Che had heard that there were three tyrants in Guanzhong: Ji, Tian, and Du.

The Ji family dominates Guanzhong. Black and white all-in-one, can be called the giant of black and white in Guanzhong.

Tian doesn't need to be introduced, specializing in investing in all kinds of potential political stars. Even at the expense of blood.

The Du family is a huge family that has been inherited in the Han family for more than 100 years.

Later, during the period of Emperor Xuan, Honggu was originally changed to Du Ling, and the origin of Du Ling was because most of the people in the entire Honggu Yuan and the surrounding areas were surnamed Du at that time.

If he wants to attack the merchants in Guanzhong, how could Liu Che not touch the old bottom of these families and forces?

"Ji Bu ......" Liu Che thought playfully: "Ji Xin...... Hehehe...... You actually jumped out and went against Lonely! ”

The Ji family is the family that knows how to manipulate public opinion for its own use today.

To put it simply. The family started out on propaganda.

Originally, Ji Bu was a general who worked hard for Xiang Yu, Chu and Han fought, and Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang. Ji Bu became a lost dog, so he hid in the home of the Zhu family, the leader of the rangers in the Guanzhong of the world.

Later, relying on the relationship of the Zhu family, several nobles were dredged. It has created an atmosphere of public opinion in which thousands of dollars are buying horse bones. relied on Wu Zixu's story to move Liu Bang to pardon Ji Bu's capital crime.

After that, Ji Bu began to embark on a career in office.

Through the ordeal of Guò, Jibu tasted the benefits of manipulating public opinion for the first time, and since then it has been out of control.

During the period of Emperor Hui, Ji Bu relied on standing on the side of the main and faction and stepping on the body of Fan Xu of the main battle faction, and finally climbed to the position of the minister of 2,000 stones.

But. At the time of the first emperor, this power to manipulate public opinion finally came to pass. Played off.

At that time, Ji Bushi was too shou of Hedong County.

In a certain year, there was a vacancy in the imperial doctor, and the first emperor heard that Ji Bu had done a good job in Hedong County, so he summoned him to Chang'an for inspection.

Ji Bu, as usual, played a trick of public opinion, and constantly created a very good and virtuous public opinion atmosphere.

But a day passed, two days passed, three days passed, a month passed.

The first emperor was still indifferent, that is, he had no intention of appointing Ji Bu as the imperial historian, and he did not have the idea of letting Ji Bu go back to Hedong.

This made Ji Bu anxious, so he simply forced the palace and said: "I am afraid that the world has knowledge and knowledge to peep into His Majesty!" ”

Is Liu Che's imperial grandfather the kind of person who can be coerced and forced into the palace?

So, Ji Bu went home to farm, of course, there are still a lot of preferential treatment on the surface!

At least, Ji Bu's face was taken care of!

However, when Jibu returned home, he was not at ease at all.

played the game of creating public opinion and promoting himself again.

He was mixed with Cao Qiu, a native of Chu, and Cao Qiu preached it everywhere for him, in fact, half of the credit for Ji Bu to have such a big reputation today goes to Cao Qiu.

Well, Ji Bu is probably still a politician, and he is also playing a game on politics.

If you only look at these, the Ji family doesn't seem to be remarkable, there are two thousand stone ministers' families, and there are not a hundred in Guanzhong, but there are ninety-nine.

But...... Ji Bu's younger brother Ji Xin can let people get a glimpse of the true face of this overlord in Guanzhong even two thousand years later, through some clues in the history books.

How is it recorded in the "Records of History"?

: 'Ji Budi's heart, the air covers the pass, he is respectful when he meets people, he is Ren Xia, thousands of miles away, and the soldiers are fighting for his death'

In just a few sentences, it can immediately form a template of a hero in people's minds.

But in fact, this is not the case!

Ranger is not a kind person!

Han Feizi said it well, as the saying goes, Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban.

Murder and extortion are the main business of the rangers.

As for the two taels of yellow soup, I can't figure out who I am, and with a lot of blood, I want to help my friends get ahead, and those are a minority after all.

As the only two ranger giants in the world who are as famous as the drama Meng, they dominate Guanzhong and Kanto respectively.

Ji Xin is naturally not a kind person.

He was wanted for many murders and was hunted down by the imperial court many times.

To this day, the archives of the Tingwei Yamen still contain the accusations of Ji Xin's bitter masters.

However, there has never been any true justice in this world.

People with power, people with money, and people with connections, even if it is illegal to commit murder, so what?

Every time Ji Xin was hunted down by the imperial court, there were always powerful people to help him exonerate, and even help him hide and escape.

The government couldn't catch it.

Then, when he met the amnesty of the Son of Heaven, Ji Xin jumped up and down again.

Even......

Liu Che remembered that in his previous life, Zhi became a lieutenant. Ordinary powerful businessmen trembled like a mouse in front of Zhidu, but Ji Xin, the saying of the people of the time was that 'Lieutenant Zhi didn't dare not be polite'.

Hehe. A cloth-clothed ranger, let the dignified lieutenant, known as the goshawk, and the minions of the country, all 'dare not be polite'.

It can be seen that Ji Xin was so arrogant at that time.

Where did the confidence of the heart come from?

It's very simple, Ji Xin's backstage, Liu Che couldn't be clearer.

When the court servant, so Wu Xiang Yuan An!

Originally. Ji Xin committed murder and broke the law, and Yuan Ang hid him.

So here's the problem. Ji Xin suddenly jumped out, was it instigated by Yuan An? Or is he making his own decisions?

Don't think that Yuan Ang is an upright gentleman......

The things that Yuan Ang has done for personal gain, if they are written in words, they can be compiled into a book!

In fact. Liu Che is very clear. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for the former prime minister Shen Tujia, who had stepped down because of a stroke, did not take any money, and there were really only a handful!

Even behind Chao Cuo, there is also the support of the financial owner!

The political ecology of the Han dynasty is very similar to that of the later generations of Emperor Mi.

There are a large number of 'lobby groups' active in the government and the opposition, and these people can be seen every time there is a policy change.

Later generations often said: Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors. Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time......

Therefore, now Liu Che is not clear. Ji Xin suddenly jumped out, was there any Yuan An's instruction behind him?

But there is one thing that Liu Che is very sure of, that is, no matter what, he must call Yuan Ang to ask clearly.

To be honest, if it weren't for the last resort, Liu Che really didn't want to be an enemy of Yuan An.

It's really Liu Che who knows Yuan An's power and methods too well!

………………………………

Not long after, Yan Yi, who went to Weiyang Palace on behalf of Liu Che to greet the emperor's father, came back.

Yan Yi brought back the emperor's father's order to Liu Che to enter the palace immediately.

So, Liu Che got into the carriage and headed towards Weiyang Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Liu Che smelled an unusual smell.

The eunuchs in the palace who usually laughed and fought for flattery as soon as they saw him no longer had the courtesy and respect they had in the past, and some people even took a detour as soon as they saw Liu Che.

"Cheese that has moved a lot of people!" Liu Che thought to himself.

A grain protection price is equivalent to hitting the G point of Guanzhong businessmen.

Originally, many people thought that Liu Che was talking about playing.

But I didn't expect him to come for real!

Liu Che knew very well what kind of impact his move would have.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents......

But it doesn't matter, the opinions of these little people don't matter at all, they have never been the dominant force!

Nowadays, in this world, it is the Son of Heaven who is really in charge, the generals who hold the guns and the queen mother of the East Palace.

As long as the emperor's father supports him, the empress dowager of the East Palace supports him, and the generals support him.

No matter how dissatisfied these people are, do they dare to speak out?

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, Liu Che came to the front of the Xuanshu Palace.

As usual, he greeted the temple gate, and then, after receiving permission, entered the temple of the Xuan Chamber.

At this time, in the Xuanshu Palace, except for the emperor's father, who sat firmly on the throne.

The other ministers also sat in their respective seats.

"Son-in-law Liu Chegong asks his father Huang'an!" Liu Che walked to the hall and kowtowed respectfully.

"Get up...... Son of Heaven Liu Qi waved his hand and ordered left and right: "Give the prince a seat!" ”

So, under the guidance of the two eunuchs, Liu Che sat down on the left side under his father.

As soon as he sat down and his buttocks were not hot, Liu Che heard that his father asked: "Prince, did you say such a thing as 'businessmen are not beneficial to the country' in Sixian Garden yesterday?" ”

For such a question, Liu Che naturally guessed it a long time ago.

He got up and bowed down and said, "Back to my father, I did say it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all of a sudden, the people in the entire hall began to discuss.

For the ministers of the Han Dynasty, the concept of merchant = end industry = lowly occupation, such a concept can be said to be deep-rooted, and it has always been politically correct!

However, on the other hand, the increasingly rapid development of industry and commerce, and the emergence of more and more local tyrants among the people, make them have to face up to the rise of the power of merchants.

Whether it is Jia Yi back then, or Chao Cuo now, their famous works are basically expounding such problems.

Naturally, the ministers of the imperial court also knew for a long time, in fact. The status of merchants grew rapidly as their wealth increased.

In some places, the rich merchants are bigger than the Marquis and the king, and they all want to be beautiful!

But. In addition to emphasizing the concept of agriculture, there are not many policies that can really be implemented.

Why?

First, how to deal with the problems between industry and commerce and agriculture, and the relationship between the two, not only for the Han dynasty, but also for the whole of China. It was also the first time that the development of industry and commerce and the growth rate exceeded that of agriculture.

Theoretically, of course, it is agricultural.

But in reality, it is impossible to really deal with it as the book says.

You know, like today's booming industry and commerce. The number of people involved is not thousands, not tens of thousands, but millions!

On this issue, a little careless. Improper handling. It's going to cause big problems.

Second, who doesn't have a financier behind them?

If you take someone else's money, how can you speak ill of someone else?

Therefore, most of the courtiers, although they know that the problem is very strict, but no one wants to lift the lid on it, let alone face this problem.

Even if it's wrong. Back then shouted what a noble Su theory, but now. I don't talk about that anymore.

And Liu Che's statement can be said to be a historical precedent.

In any case, Liu Che was the first high-ranking member of the Han family to really confront the problem between industry and commerce and agriculture.

In any case, the ministers could not continue to remain calm, either way.

"Please explain ...... family" Chao Cuo was the first to stand up and asked: "The minister is stupid, and he doesn't understand the meaning of the family......"

Zhang Ou, the court lieutenant, immediately followed, and came out to worship: "The minister is panicked, I don't know what the family wants?" ”

Even Yuan Ang said: "What the family says, the minister has never heard of, dare to ask for correction!" ”

Liu Che knew that these ministers were already giving him face.

What Liu Che has been putting on before is a posture of hatred of business, a template that must suppress industry and commerce, I am afraid that at this moment, the tide of impeachment has already drowned him.

Really, this issue is too sensitive.

has risen to the height of ideology.

Think about it, when the future generations were buzzing, a guy suddenly jumped out and said that Mi Di can play happily with our Great Celestial Empire, this guy is probably either on a dirt plane, or he has to see the iron fist of the dictatorship.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, is not like the ministers.

He half-closed his eyes and leaned on the dragon couch without saying a word, in fact, he already knew all of Liu Che's speeches yesterday and the causes and consequences.

These things, not only the eyeliner he placed beside Liu Che sent a report.

Even this morning, Yan Yi also completely reported to him what happened and some of Liu Che's ideas.

For Liu Che's ideas and plans, as the emperor, as the son of heaven, and as Liu Che's father, Liu Qi is waiting with an attitude of being happy to see them come to fruition.

In fact, Liu Che did these things, which was not unexpected by him at all.

The prince of the old Liu family, if he can live in the palace safely, it will be strange!

Even, at this moment, Liu Qi looked at Liu Che and actually had a rather appreciative idea.

In Liu Che, he seemed to see the years when he was young and frivolous.

Young people, have ideas, have momentum, this is a good thing!

Therefore, the Son of Heaven did not want to intervene at all.

For Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, Liu Che's things have been done, and everyone is happy.

For Liu Qi, the current son of heaven, in his subconscious, he even hopes that Liu Che can make things bigger.

Because only when this matter is big, can he see clearly who is a loyal minister, who is riding the wall, and who is a second or fifth boy in this court!

As for failure?

Who hasn't failed?

How can a chick that has not been sharpened have the day to fly high?

"My time is running out...... "The Son of Heaven Liu Qi looked at Liu Che and thought in his heart: "Liu Che, if you want to fight for your luck, I can only support you for a few more years, and in a few years, this country may have to rely on you, can you bear this country?" ”

Not long ago, he almost fell in the palace.

This is a very strict signal!

This shows that his resistance and spirit are declining.

And in this era, forty is a hurdle for a man, let alone a king of a country like him.

Therefore, he had to let Liu Che really accept the baptism of the storm, so that his heir could learn how to find a safe place in the wind and rain, how to identify loyal ministers and Erwuzai, and how to control the military generals.

Therefore, he quietly added a little material to Liu Che's plan.

His idea is very simple, while he can still control the situation, first clear the princes for Liu Che, leaving a country without hidden dangers, and at the same time, sharpen this son as much as possible, so that he can mature within a few years, even if there is an accident, he can immediately grasp the power, control the ministers, and clean up the military power.

This time, it's just the beginning.

In the future, slowly, he will let Liu Che, the prince, participate in government affairs, participate in the army, and communicate with the generals.

Of course, in this process, he will also slowly observe the ministers of the court, repeatedly test and test those powerful courtiers, and see what their minds are.

From the standpoint of the ruler, he did everything for one purpose, and that was to ensure a smooth transition of power and that the reign of the Liu clan would not be threatened by anything.

In the process, there is only one end to any accidents and threats.

"This is not a minister of the young master!"

To put it simply, all the courtiers and the things of Yiqiē are the chess pieces in his hands.

Thinking like this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said slowly: "Prince, tell the ministers and me, what do you think?" Why do you say that? Doesn't the prince know that the strong and the weak are the national policy of my Han family? ”

When Liu Che heard this, he sorted out his thoughts a little, and said: "Returning to my father, my sons and daughters have not forgotten for a moment, the foundation of my Han family lies in the people, and the way of the people lies in the agricultural capital!" ”

Liu Che looked up at his father, he knew very well that at this time, it was the best time for him, the prince, to express his political opinions and governing ideas.

If the ministers can understand and keep up with him, they will naturally be able to get a place after he ascends the throne in the future.

If you don't understand it, you can't keep up, Liu Che will definitely not wait for them!

Liu Che turned to look at Chao Cuo and said, "Gu once read the "Treatise on Guisu" written by the Imperial Historian, and its beginning is: Therefore, the Holy King is above and the people are not hungry, they can not plow and eat, weave and clothe, and open up the way of their wealth!" ”

Liu Che smiled and asked, "Unknown Gu has ever made a mistake?" ”

Chao mistakenly heard this, and said with a pause: "I despise bad words, but I am well remembered by the family, and I am honored to be a minister!" ”

But Chao Cuo was beating a drum in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Che was selling in the gourd? (To be continued......)
