Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 891

"Your Majesty"

Zhu Fuyan looked at Liu Qi, whose nose was bruised and face swollen after going out for a trip, his eyes were full of astonishment.

Liu Qi smiled, and touched his red and swollen face, "You don't have to worry if you fell while going out after eating and drinking."

Zhu Fuyan had never seen a person who fell and only fell half of his face, but he didn't say it clearly, he just looked at Liu Qi thoughtfully.

Liu Qi continued: "You have come from a long way, so you should rest here for a few days before heading to the Royal City."

"Don't worry, I have to go to various parts of Xiting Kingdom to take a look. If you want to govern the local area, it is not enough to just listen to the king's words. You have to go and have a look in person. Please allow me to go to the king city after reading it. "

Of course Liu Qi was happy, and hastily sent someone to arrange the itinerary of Zhu Fuyan, so that he could be escorted.

The banquet was soon over, Liu Qi personally sent the father Yan back to the inner room, and then walked out covering his face, and met Dou Ying who was waiting here, Dou Ying was also blushing, for Protecting Liu Qi, he was often beaten.

Liu Qi gritted his teeth in pain, and couldn't help but said: "For many years, I have never been beaten like this, even if Father Zhong beat me, he has never hit me in the face, I am a dignified prince, I was dizzy from the beating Yes, there are still stars in front of my eyes now.”

Dou Ying was silent for a moment, then said: "This is a good thing, it shows that the queen is in good health and still strong, the king should be happy."

Liu Qi said unhappily: "My mother came to see me, I'm really happy, but I'm already old, so I got several solid slaps."

Dou Ying said quietly, "I didn't do anything, and I got hurt too."

"I didn't do anything either, it's all because Father Zhong and Father Zhong conspired to kill me!!"

Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Father didn't say clearly that he sent Aunt to come here, and he swore that the officials in the temple couldn't look down on my deeds and sent someone to investigate me. I didn't realize it. This is clearly deceiving me. I want me to be rude to my mother, and then get punished, as well as Zhongfu. I should have thought a long time ago that Zhongfu instigated me to be cruel to the envoy in the letter. He must have no good intentions. I knew it was Grandmother who was coming, thanks to the fact that I didn’t follow Father Zhong’s instruction and spit on the envoy’s carriage, otherwise wouldn’t I be beaten to death?”

Dou Ying took a deep breath, "Your Majesty asked the king to spit on the envoys?"

"Yeah, if it was exchanged, I would really spit it out. Father Zhong told me in the letter, don't pay attention to the officials in these temples, saying that they all look down on me, let me scare them, or Said that you can spit in their carriage, let me not be afraid, act recklessly, and he will stand up if something happens."

Liu Qi touched his face again, "These two people cannot be easily trusted!"

"What can we do now?"

Liu Qichang sighed, raised his head, and met Dou Ying's gaze.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Dou Ying said helplessly: "Auntie has already believed in your heart that you are spoiled and proud. No matter how you explain it, I'm afraid she won't believe it anymore. Since she wants to stay with you By your side, then let her stay temporarily, and when my aunt sees you governing the West Court and understands that you are not a fatuous person, she will naturally feel at ease."

Liu Qi pursed his lips, and his mother stared at him governing the country, which didn't feel good at all.

Like sitting on pins and needles.

But Liu Qi really had no other choice but to follow suit.

Accompanied by Dou Ying and others, the master father Yan went to other places for inspection, while Liu Qi brought the rest of the people to the royal city.

As soon as they arrived at Wangcheng, a person came up in a hurry.

It was Li Guang who came.

Li Guang bowed to Liu Qi, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the woman you mentioned last time has been found. She is a craftsman from the west of the city. I have investigated everything and her family background is clean. You can send someone to be a matchmaker at any time."

Liu Qi hurriedly put on a straight face, "Presumptuous!!!"

"The widow is dedicated to governing the country, so how can I care about these things? You too, as an important minister of the Xiting Kingdom, how can you persuade the king to be close to beauty? The widow has always put state affairs first, why have you ever cared about beauty?! If you do this again If you are so obsessed with obsession, and persuade you to get close to women, you will definitely write to the temple and exile you to Xia Guo!!!”

Liu Qizheng said solemnly, but Li Guang's face was full of grievances.

That's not what you said when you left. You obviously asked me to investigate, but you also said that you will accept others when you come back, and that you are restless if you don't get them. Why have you changed your mind now? ?

But Li Guang didn't dare to say that to Liu Qi, he just took a few steps back and said pitifully, "Wei."

Liu Qi cleared his throat, then stepped aside, put on a smile, and went to help his grandmother get off the car with a smile. Li Guang suddenly realized, and hurried forward to salute.

Madam Dou seemed to have heard the conversation between the two just now, she just gave Liu Qi a look, and then walked towards the palace.

Liu Qi helped Aunt into the palace, talking about his difficulties in these days, "Aunt, you don't know, this place was not like this at the beginning. You can't even imagine the poverty back then. In these years, I didn’t dare to enjoy it at all, I was thinking about how to govern the country with all my heart, alas”

Madam Dou looked at the resplendent palace and sneered.

"It can be seen that it is really painful."

Liu Qi simply stopped explaining, and when the mother and son sat down, Liu Qi hurriedly asked his children to come out to meet the eldest mother.

Many princes came out to pay their respects one after another, Madam Dou's complexion finally improved a lot.

Long time no see, Liu Rong has grown up a lot.

Liu Rong is very handsome, and he perfectly inherited his biological mother's appearance. Fortunately, he did not inherit his biological mother's medical skills. As he grew older, he actually understood many things, including why his biological mother suddenly disappeared, and why Bo The queen brought him up and so on. But Liu Rong didn't show any anger. His character is very gentle and restrained. He doesn't look like his father, but he looks like one of his uncles. Most of the children in the old Liu family are In this way, not like the father, but like the second father.

Especially in the children of this generation, this sign is extremely obvious, such as a certain little pig who looks like a wild boar, and this crown prince who looks like Emperor Xiaoren.

Seeing Liu Rong saluting, Mrs. Dou was very happy to help him up.

"Haha, my grandparents are so handsome too."

Liu Rong lowered his head and did not answer.

Liu Qi was a little displeased, but he didn't say much, another child came up and bowed to Madam Dou, "Greetings, Mother."

Mrs. Dou looked at this child. This child was younger than Liu Rong, but older than other children. He was about the same as Liu Rong. King of Chu.

Mrs. Dou was stunned for a moment, and Liu Qi beside him hurriedly said: "This is my third son, Liu De. This son likes to read very much, and he is a studious."

Mrs. Dou laughed, "That's right, it's a good thing to like reading."

Liu De hurriedly introduced the rest of the younger brothers to Mrs. Dou, and Mrs. Dou nodded her head one by one.

Liu Qi is a very dedicated person. When he starts to dote on a certain lady, he can have several children with this lady in a row, but this kind of specialization will not last long, usually after two or three children are born. , he will start his own exclusive feelings for the next one.

After Li Ji died of illness, the harem of Xiting Kingdom was relatively stable, no one jumped out to cause trouble, and the queen still couldn't get Liu Qi's favor, but this was not a big problem, because Liu Rong was raised, so the queen had Continue to base on the capital of the harem, and Liu Rong did not lose his crown prince. The two sides can be said to be in a situation of mutual prosperity, and the queen who has no heirs really loves Liu Rong. Liu Rong is not a heartless person , I also respect the queen very much.

Mrs. Dou was still very satisfied with the situation in the harem. On the same day, Mrs. Dou moved in, and Liu Qi also temporarily gave up a series of plans and started to work seriously.

"Hahaha, this guy is definitely going to be beaten!"

In Yushi's Mansion, Liu Chang leaned on the wooden table beside him, describing his letter vividly and vividly.

"He doesn't know who the visitor is. With my backing, he must not be afraid at all. After he has played a big role, he finds out that the visitor is his mother. Hahaha, he has to suffer!"

Liu Changda laughed.

Liu Heng just squinted his eyes and didn't speak.

Liu Chang smiled for a moment, before asking: "Fourth brother, isn't it a bit unkind for us to do this?"

"You deserve it."

Liu Heng only said these four words, and Liu Chang took it seriously.

"Pai no one can keep an eye on this scorpion, so it's better to send his mother to watch! Fourth brother still has an idea. I know best what it feels like to be stared at by his mother. He can't let go of his hands and feet at all. Going to inspect the people will be reprimanded.”

Liu Chang seems to resonate with Liu Qi's feelings.

Liu Heng asked: "Did you come to me today to talk about this matter?"

Liu Chang shook his head, then suddenly turned around and shouted, "Lu! Lu!!"

Soon, Lu Lu walked into the mansion, Liu Chang motioned to him, and Lu Lu immediately took out the paper and put it in front of Liu Heng.

Liu Heng looked suspiciously at the paper in his hand, "This is."

"List."

"What list?"

"A list of merchants."

Liu Heng frowned, and looked through it seriously. After looking at it for a while, he was shocked, "Is this all true?"

"Of course it's true. This is all investigated by Liu Jing himself. I didn't expect that this temple encourages business, and even opens a monopoly. Liu Jing wants me to kill these people directly, but, Fourth brother, you also know that I have been promoting the rule of law all these years, and I don’t want to kill these people at will, so I’m going to leave it to you to kill, and I’ll leave it to you to handle.”

The list that Liu Chang handed over to Liu Heng at this moment is the list of some big merchants. Liu Jing conducted an investigation on those big merchants of the current big man, and then found some big merchants who are rich and unkind, that is, big merchants who engage in monopoly. The scale has already surpassed that of the original widow Qing and other big merchants. Some are engaged in tea, some in cotton, some in silk, and some in porcelain. The scale of these people's industries is very large. I won't say much, but the problem is that these people seem to be transformed into a new generation of tyrants.

They treat those employed harshly, trying to monopolize the local and even the entire industrial chain, secretly interfering with local prices, hoarding goods, lowering the price of raw materials, etc. Liu Jing has been attacking the tyrants everywhere, but he suddenly discovered that the big man It seems that there is another "tyrannical force", or in other words, the original strong force has entered the new era on its own initiative, and after finding that there is no benefit in squeezing the tenants, it turns to squeezing the hired ones.

The reason why Liu Jing discovered this problem was because of the prince's reminder.

When the crown prince came back from the southern kingdom, he had talked about this problem with the emperor, and then he found Liu Jing to discuss this problem and ask how to solve it.

How else can Liu Jing solve it?Just grab it and kill it!

But Liu Chang didn't accept Liu Jing's proposal. Some things can be done across the board, but some things can't. The importance of business to a big man is self-evident, especially after Kaihai, Liu Chang doesn't have the patience to play with these people slowly , so he directly left the matter to the fourth brother. He knew that the fourth brother was the most patient and would definitely handle this matter well.

Liu Heng checked carefully, and here are all the introductions to some big merchants.

"A merchant can actually affect the price of a county??"

"Yeah, if it's just a business of duty, it's fine, but these actions are simply seeking death. Fourth brother, I leave these people to you. How to investigate and how to deal with them is up to you. Do not interfere."

Liu Heng put away the list, then nodded, "I see."

Liu Chang's expression was a bit bitter, "Hey, fourth brother, the things in this temple are one after another. I just thought of a way to deal with Hao Qiang, and a new Hao Qiang appeared. can't eat it"

Liu Heng glanced at him, "Okay, no need to say more, I will find a way to solve these things, you don't have to worry about the country and the people, go to your Shanglin Garden!"

Liu Chang gave a few more instructions, and then walked out of Yushi's mansion with a smile.

At this moment, the Yushi Mansion is still very busy, and the officials are walking around. Because of Zhidu’s big change of blood in the Ministry of Rites, the entire Yushi Mansion has begun to frantically inspect new personnel. The Ministry of Officials in the temple, the Yushifu, and the Ministry of Punishment are all exhausted, but the officials from the Ministry of Rites are the most comfortable now, lying in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment without doing anything.

Liu Chang saw Liu Jing who was hurrying in with a lot of melodies, and hurriedly stood in front of her.

Liu Jie's eyes lit up, but he still bowed to him seriously, "I pay homage to Your Majesty, what orders does Your Majesty have?"

Liu Chang smiled lightly and pinched his daughter's face.

Liu Jing still said seriously; "The minister is busy with state affairs, please don't be rude, Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, okay, then you can go to work, don't tire yourself too much, if you find it difficult, let Liu An do it for you!"

Liu Ye was overjoyed, and was about to answer when he heard a cough from the inner room. It was Liu Heng. Liu Ye kept a straight face again, "I can handle these things myself, so I don't need to bother the prince."

Liu Chang nodded, and then said to Gongsun Hong in the distance: "Hong! Don't just bury your head in your own business, help your colleagues more!"

Gongsun Hong hurriedly stood up, of course he knew who this colleague was worth, so he quickly said yes.

Only then did Liu Chang walk out of Yushi's mansion swaggeringly.

Liu Chang didn't get in the car, and walked on the streets of Chang'an on foot. Lu Lu and Dou Guangguo followed him, and there were probably a large group of embroidered clothes around him, but it was hard to distinguish them. The embroidered clothes mansion has developed for decades. Even Liu Zhang already has gray hair. Few people will know how strong the embroidered clothes are now. But this time when the matter of sacrificial offerings in Longxi was thoroughly investigated, the efficiency of embroidered clothes was obviously several times higher than that of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Every time, Xiuyi handed the information to Liu Chang first, which was faster, clearer, and more accurate than that of the Ministry of Punishment.

The three of them walked on the road. In Chang'an, walking is more comfortable than taking a car. The main reason is that walking will not be too congested. With the expansion of the territory of the Han Dynasty, the people in Chang'an are also diverse. You can see people from all over the world, including South Vietnamese. Sitting and chatting with people from the Western Regions, this kind of scene can only be seen in Chang'an.

There are a lot of vendors hawking along the road, selling everything.

Liu Chang watched with his own eyes that the painting style of this big man gradually changed from Qin and Han to Ming and Qing, from the serious and bleak at the beginning to the prosperous market culture today, it is really emotional.

Walking on the road, inexplicably, people came to strike up a conversation. Some asked Liu Chang if he wanted to stay, some asked Liu Chang if he wanted to try the cuisine of Dian, and some came to ask Liu Chang if he wanted to hire a carriage. You can see it everywhere Draw the prosperity of the market.

At this moment, a senior student walked up to him, bowed to Liu Chang and the others, and then handed them the paper in his hand.

"Please take a look."

Liu Chang took the paper and looked at it a few times. After reading it, Lu Lu and the others changed their expressions.

The Tai student said seriously: "After Zhidu took office, many sages including Hu Wugong were imprisoned. These people are all well-known sages in China. How can they be treated like this? We just want to rescue they ran."

Liu Chang asked with a smile: "Why did Zhidu put Hu Wusheng and the others in prison?"

The Confucian scholar replied: "It is said that these people are neglecting government affairs, but according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, even if such behavior occurs, it should not be directly thrown into prison. Besides, Hu Wugong is famous all over the world." The Great Confucianism, who once wrote a book for Gongyang Chunqiu, we really can't bear to see him suffering between prison and prison."

Lu Lu said with some displeasure: "This is a major event of the temple, what does it have to do with you?"

However, the Tai student explained: "The current holy son of heaven once said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. We are disciples of the emperor, so we can't be indifferent. I just hope that Zhi can act according to the laws of the great man. If you do something wrong, you should be punished." , but you can’t punish others excessively for the sake of intimidating others, these sages have contributed to the country, if you don’t support them, leave it to me, we don’t force it.”

But Liu Chang accepted the paper and said seriously: "Yes, yes, I support you, go on with your work!"

After the person left, Lu Lu said: "This is too learned. It is really getting better and better"

"Why, do you have to teach a group of sages who are obsessed with studying, so that Taixue can be called a sage? My Taixue, a big man, should teach such young people who dare to think, dare to do, and sincerely do great things. Do you have any opinions? ? "

"No no."
