Chapter 155: The alchemist should be killed!

King Liu An of Huainan came very quickly.

After dealing with trivial matters in the county, he took his daughter and a few gifts and a few followers to the road to Chang'an, and half a month later, he arrived at Chang'an City, covered with wind and snow.

During this period, Liu Che did something that shocked the princes, kings, generals and ministers, and made the people a little confused.

Although it was extremely simple and dazzling, the subsequent edicts written by Liu Che were very sad and gave people a little bit of admiration.

What Liu Che did was to kill alchemists. Hundreds of alchemists led by Li Shaojun were just famous when Liu Che heard about their actions. He was not ashamed of the gods and ghosts, and directly captured them all, and was punished as a stumbling block in the street, and put them in prison. No one was left, and all were killed, to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and to warn the people of the world!

The so-called "front" means "Tao". "Orthodox" means "Taoist". "Zhuangzi·Tianxia Chapter" says: "There are many people in the world who govern the prescriptions." Therefore, "the one who governs the prescriptions" means the one who governs the prescriptions; "a family of great styles" refers to "the one who governs the prescriptions".

However, Lao Fang was one of the main tricks that Li Shaojun deceived people. He believed that worshiping the stove can lead to things, and cinnabar can be transformed into gold. The gold is made of gold and it is believed that it will be more long-lasting and the Penglai Immortal in the sea can be seen.

This kind of immortality technique was deceived by Emperor Qin Shihuang. He created a lot of money in order to seek a false Taoist technique for immortality, which made the people live in poverty. The false legends in the world flocked to the sky, and while disregarding human lives, they were extravagant, causing serious disasters to the people.

Because these legends were rampant and had deeply aroused Confucius' disgust, he "did not speak strange powers and insults."

There is no need for Liu Che to believe them. If he believes them, it will be a great harm.

Just when the alchemist held the alchemist and traveled to the gates of princes, Liu Che's killing was a wake-up call for the alchemist.

Gu Yong followed up. He spoke louder, criticized the hypocrisy of Fangzhi and praised Liu Che's actions vigorously. In addition, Huang Xian, Wang Chong, Yang Du and others were also opposed to the alchemist and Fangzhi.

At that time, the nobles and honors of the princes and honors were deceived by alchemists for a long time, and they were often unfair to cast the ground. They were under the pressure of many public opinion. Over time, their trust in alchemists would naturally remain indifferent.

The alchemists' art of climbing the dragon was suppressed by His Majesty's massacre, and there was no way to believe that they would use their tricks again.

The absurd alchemist art was rebuked by Liu Che in his edict in a large amount of text, and he was useless to the people and consumed family wealth, and took away the wealth of people and even emperors. He also used the illusory ghost art to fulfill his lies.

When he arrived in Chang'an City, Liu An smelled something unusual. The people who should have liked the art of talking and laughing and ascending to immortals all rebuked the alchemist for confusing the country and chasing the people, and were extremely resentful in their words.

Curiously, I invited a white-haired old man to hear how he explained it.

There was still some impatient at first, but the old man just glanced at him and saw that he was dressed in beautiful clothes and felt a sense of wealth and majesty. He immediately laughed and said, "Your Majesty has become angry recently because those priests who are not doing their jobs are lobbying for life and death, and want to expand their influence. But will Your Majesty let them go? He will execute them all directly!"

"It turns out to be like this!" Liu An murmured to himself.

To be fair, this act of arousing collective dissatisfaction of the alchemist may be a good thing for him who is alone.

The more intense the conflict in the capital, the less energy his Majesty would have to take care of the affairs of the county and state. But recently he was a little nervous, and the emperor's rapid implementation of the new system made him feel threatened.

After the court meeting, Liu Che held a separate banquet for Liu An in the greenhouse hall.

Liu Che humbly raised his wine lord to welcome him: "The emperor's uncle likes to study and play the piano and is good at writing and writing. I have always admired him. I know that Huainan is the former land of Chu. The emperor's uncle has also focused on compiling his own "Huainanzi". I wonder if there are any famous books that can be recommended to me?"

"I am just making trouble, and there is no famous book to recommend!" Liu An thought that Liu Che would make such a request. He was caught off guard and replied in a panic.

After narrowing his eyes, Liu Che was a little unhappy, "Uncle Huang's "Honglie" is not very good? I heard that you recommended this book to the Empress Dowager. The Huang-Lao learning in it is still fresh in my memory!"

"This...this..."

Liu An's face began to look anxious. He also knew that when Liu Che was the leader of Confucianism, he openly advocated the past and just wanted to please the Empress Dowager, and he was indeed fighting against him.

"Huh? Why didn't the emperor answer?" Liu Che said unyieldingly.

Unable to bear, Liu An could only bring out the opinions of the late emperors. "In this book, I reviewed the brilliant achievements of our dynasty in establishing a country with the theory of Huang-Lao and governing the country with inaction and tranquility since Emperor Taizu Gao. Although I am far away from Kyoto, I have never been thinking about the prosperity of my great Han Dynasty."

"Oh? What do you think about the Emperor's killing the alchemist?" Liu Che tasted the pleasure of forcing him, the Emperor's uncle, and continued to smile.

"Your Majesty's actions must be your reason. I... dare not guess!" Liu An's eyes flashed slightly and he did not answer.

Just as he was thinking about how to resolve his hesitation when answering, Liu Che used a hearty laughter to relieve his embarrassment and raised his glass and laughed: "Hahaha! I just ask casually. Please drink, uncle, drink!"

Liu An's mood had just calmed down, and Liu Che's voice rang in his ears again: "I heard that the emperor's daughter, my sister Liu Ling, has also come to the capital this time, why not bring me a meeting?"

Liu An replied: "I have always been very strict in tutoring. She is a daughter's house. Recently, she went to Yongshou Palace to chat with her aunt. It is inconvenient. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

"What's wrong with this! She is my sister, who dares to say anything? Although Huainan is a land of fish and rice, it is not as good as a capital city. If the emperor's uncle is interested, he will let her live in the palace. Wouldn't it be better for me to find someone for her?"

Which one is this sung? Liu An couldn't figure out what Liu Che said for a moment, so he didn't dare to answer easily, so he had to push it on Liu Ling: "This minister has to ask Ling'er before talking about it. This is her lifelong event after all, and I'm not going to be too arrogant!"

This subtle psychological test, with the strong aroma of wine in the greenhouse hall, continued until the sunset was slanted westward, and Liu An was a little tired of dealing with it. He felt that the greenhouse hall could no longer stay, otherwise he would be exposed and fall into Liu Che's trap.

So he stood up and left, and Han Yan enthusiastically asked to send the prince back to the mansion. Seeing Han Yan accompanying Liu An to Sima Dao, Liu Che asked Dou Ying, who had been silent around him, "What does the Taiwei think of my uncle?"

"I heard that he recruits troops, recruits talents, and mints coins in private. In the future, it will be a major problem for the country!"

Dou Ying paused for a moment and continued, "Justice, you are vigorously promoting the new system and promoting Confucianism as the leader, but he summoned hundreds of students to compile this "Honglie". What is the intention?"

"Why did Taiwei Yi think what should I do?"
