Chapter three hundred and sixty-eight
Gongsun Hong heard what Zhang Tang and Ji An said, and he also expected the urgency of the matter, so it would be better to make a decision early.
As the prime minister, he also has the responsibility to persuade him. Since things have come to this point, it is better to go with the flow.
Both of them are so determined.
The civil and military officials in the court probably thought the same thing, and they were always shooting themselves.
"Your Majesty, I think the two lords are right." Gongsun Hong, who had been silent, also took Ji An's words and said.
"In the case of King Qi committing suicide, Master Yan is an evil person. If Your Majesty does not kill him, the royal family will not be able to conquer the world."
At this moment, Liu Che understood in his heart that his father Yan could not save him.
These three ministers who often disagree on their daily opinions but have worked hard for the Han Dynasty. Today, they are so consistent with the issue of Zhufu Yan. It can be seen that Zhufu Yan is such a disaster, and the superiors and the royal family are angry with the people. If they are not eliminated, they will not be able to conquer the world.
Indeed, the clear and turbidity of the political style is really related to survival. If the emperor is willful and letting the Lord and Father Yan go alone, which leads to the destruction of the atmosphere, this is exactly what he would never want to see.
Moreover, Liu Che was not angry with his father Yan forcing King Qi to commit suicide, but because of his corruption and bribery.
"Okay, okay, I am very pleased with all my beloved, so... I am no longer stubborn, so I will be beheaded by the Lord's Father Yan in the East City according to your report, and will cling to their households to serve as a warning to others."
But at this time, when he heard the clan's family, Ji An immediately changed his face and said, "It's enough to kill the master's father Yan, but the clan's family cannot."
Zhang Tang asked, "Why is this?"
Sighing, Ji An continued, "You may not know. As far as I know, the Lord's father Yan is young in Beijing and has only one sister in his hometown. If he is easily implicated by this case and hurts the innocent, I may arouse public grievances."
"That's right, my dear words are not without reason. Then the case will kill the Lord's Father Yan, and the others will no longer be investigated."
After learning about the matter of Zhufu Yan, Liu Che also asked for the aftermath of Qi State.
All three ministers believed that taking advantage of the time when the King of Qi committed suicide, he should set up a county in addition to the country and move forward with the reduction of the vassal state and increase the results.
"Since ancient times, the advice was made by the ministers, and the national policy was set up in the court. Let me pass on my will. The King of Qi committed suicide and had no descendants. The country was abandoned and the county was established and belonged to the court."
Liu Che turned to Ji An and said, "I trust you and want my beloved to be in charge of rewards and punishments."
Remember! Today, I ordered my beloved to compare the crimes committed by Master Yan, and to use documents to spread the various counties and states in the form of documents. From now on, those who are like Master Yan will be punished without mercy."
All the ministers present admired Liu Che's move. This move not only warned the various vassal states, but also took the strategy of reducing the vassal states to further reduce the vassal states, but it was actually a killing two birds with one stone.
But these people can forget, but how could Liu Che forget the "resentment" strategy proposed by Master Yan when the new system was not progressing? But Master Yan's actions made him both angry and regretful.
Not only did it ruin a bright future, but it even took life...
National laws are supreme, but human feelings are not abolished.
At this point, he still wanted to keep the decent face of Master Yan, and repeatedly told Zhang Tang not to treat Master Yan as an ordinary criminal, but also to give preferential treatment in terms of food and daily life. He also asked Gongsun Hong to go to the Tingwei Prison to announce the imperial edict, explicitly pointing out his crimes.
All the ministers present were moved...
Gongsun Hong was moved to hear this and said, "Although the Lord's father Yan's crimes are unforgivable, if he heard of Your Majesty's kindness, he would have no regrets!"
After the discussion, Liu Che dispersed all the ministers and directly asked Gongsun Hong to stay.
certainly,
Not for that flattery.
Liu Che mentioned his new official position to Gongsun Hong: "Prime Minister, do you know that the censor Zhang Qu has submitted his resignation to me. My original intention is not to be willing, but I also know that Zhang Qu is good at military preparation and clumsy in literature and has many inconveniences in performing his duties.
So, I agreed to his resignation, and I lost my mind for a moment. Who can I succeed me?"
Gongsun Hong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this Lord Ji?"
"What's wrong with these two people?"
Liu Che thought to himself.
It's really strange. Not long ago, they both questioned each other in person.
Seeing that the emperor stopped talking, Gongsun Hong had already seen Liu Che's meaning and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you must have remembered the fact that Lord Ji questioned the minister in front of you in Xuanshi Hall not long ago.
However, in my opinion, this move is a respectable thing for Lord Ji. Moreover, after thinking about it carefully, although Lord Ji’s accusations were a bit too much, it was indeed true. If I was too shabby, it would also damage my reputation."
"Hahaha, I can see that both of my dear friends are all people with a strong personality."
Gongsun Hong reiterated and said, "In fact, it's not just Lord Ji, but Yan Zhu is also competent..."
Originally, Liu Che attached great importance to the humility and prudence of the old scholar Gongsun Hong.
Especially in the case of Master Yan, he felt Gongsun Hong's strict self-discipline and honest dedication, so he knew who took over as the position of censor.
Liu Che believed that in terms of his ability to deal with state affairs, Ji An was indeed above the stern help, but he was too straightforward and showed his edge. If he was ranked behind the Three Dukes, it would be inconvenient to coordinate the government and the opposition.
In contrast, Yan Zhu is more mature. He is not only knowledgeable, has a dignified political style, and is moderate in his work, but also calm and composed in many occasions.
His qualifications are less, but if the court is full of old and corrupt scholars, if there are one or two years of hard work, it will make his decisions more stable and more perfect.
As for Gongsun Hong, since he proposed the candidate, he probably would not raise any objection except nodding in agreement.
...
As soon as Jin Su entered Changxin Hall, he threw himself in front of the Empress Dowager and cried and shouted: "My mother! Save Zhong'er! Queen..."
The empress dowager was confused and cried early in the morning. What happened?
In recent days, the cold in Jin Su's heart has made her feel more cold than the cold currents from outside the border in winter.
These days, she often thinks about her thoughts alone on the stove.
I missed the scene when my mother left her behind and became a beauty in the palace. I missed the half-brother, and the current emperor took her back from Anling.
I want to have a cold reception when I get along with my sisters after entering the palace, and I want her daughter E'er's exhausted marriage...
After thinking about it so much, she felt that why are the fates of the same person so different?
E'er returned from Huainan Country with a broken heart. For nearly a month or two, she had never dared to face E'er's tears, and she did not dare to listen to her sad sigh.
And what worries her the most was that E'er never saw anyone since she came back, and even the Queen Mother never came here.
What should I do if this continues?
She couldn't swallow this, and they didn't take the Queen Mother and His Majesty seriously.
