Section 386 System(1/2)
Liu Che looked at the report from Chengwang, the eastern commander of Liaodong County.⊙w.
I really couldn't laugh or cry in my heart.
Cheng Wang said in the report: In accordance with your Majesty's edict, I went to Korea to inform the emperor and his ministers.
Liu Che did issue an order for Liaodong County to send an official to inform the North Korean monarchs and ministers about the Jiazi Edict - since war was going to be launched against North Korea, the North Korean monarchs and ministers must be educated first.
There is an exemption clause in the Han Code for punishing people without teaching.
As the emperor, Liu Che also needed an excuse to further stimulate the patriotism of the people.
Send people to North Korea to educate them.
Then, if you casually learn from the methods of later generations of rice emperors, you can openly tell the world that the Koreans are seeking their own death, not that I want to invade their land.
Then, the war with North Korea will become a just war and a war to maintain order, rather than an aggressive war.
At the same time, it can also disintegrate some of the will to resist in North Korea.
However, Liu Che never expected that Cheng Wang, the highest-ranking military official in Liaodong County, would actually go to North Korea in person?
So brave!
Something even worse happened later.
Cheng Wang said in the report: However, the monarchs and ministers of North Korea refused to obey the imperial edict!
Then, he - "Out of righteous indignation, I killed the North Korean general... and beheaded more than a hundred people, and built it as a Beijing temple to comfort the spirits of the border people who died tragically..."
What a talent!
Liu Che took the memorial, stood up, and walked a few steps.
Liu Che refused to believe a word of Cheng Wang's words!
Why did the Korean monarchs and ministers refuse to obey the imperial edict?
What edict do you refuse to obey? Whose edict?
This Chengwang Chunqiu brushwork is really smooth!
As for what happened next out of righteous indignation, Liu Che could only laugh.
The whole thing, the commander-in-chief of the eastern part of Liaodong County gave Liu Che the feeling that he was using chicken feathers as arrows to make his own decisions!
Liu Che has lived three lifetimes. How could such a thing be hidden from him?
Looking at this memorial, Liu Che couldn't help but think of similar things that happened during Xiaozhu's reign.
A close minister of Xiaozhu named She He went to North Korea as an envoy on Xiaozhu's edict. When he came back, he killed the North Korean generals and nobles who sent him, and then reported Xiaozhu...
All I can say is that the histories are surprisingly similar!
These bureaucrats really cannot be underestimated!
Liu Che now has three choices in this matter.
The first one is to send an envoy to investigate the entire incident, and then make a decision based on the facts - in this case, this successful person will die without a burial place.
False edicts or deceive the emperor, any one of them is enough to kill his whole family!
However, Liu Che could not find any reason to do this except love and justice.
Which of the future colonists of Omi is not a scumbag and a bastard?
But it is these scum and scum that have created a brand new world for white-skinned people. Even in the new millennium, European white-skinned people are still enjoying the legacy of these scum and scum.
Therefore, Liu Che hopes that there will be more bold and capable bureaucrats like Cheng Wang.
At least, it is much better to act boldly than to be timid and stick to the old ways.
Besides, if he really did that, Liu Che felt that he might dampen the enthusiasm of future colonists.
If you want to colonize, the first thing you need to do is learn to treat the barbarians as livestock.
Telling them about etiquette, justice, benevolence and forgiveness will not only breed white-eyed wolves, but what is even more frightening is that they may not appreciate it!
For example, the untouchables of Third Brother’s family...
However, if this hope is not dealt with, public opinion in both the government and the public will not mention it.
Liu Che was worried that in the future some guys would imitate the same and play a trick similar to that of neon in later generations, which would not be fun.
Whoever created the figurines has no descendants?
If future military officers and ministers all play like this, then he, the emperor, should play in the mud.
The second option is naturally to reward this bureaucrat, give him a promotion and a title, and publicize him everywhere as a model.
However, this will not do any good except angering the entire Korean monarchs and making them desperate and even fall to the Xiongnu!
The situation Liu Che is facing now is not the situation that future generations of Xiaozhu will face.
When Xiaozhu conquered Korea, the Huns huddled in Monan and did not dare to show their heads.
At that time, the Huns might still feel lucky that the Han army attacked North Korea.
But it's different now.
The power of the Huns was at its peak. Once North Korea gave up all scruples, fully surrendered to the Huns, and even became a subsidiary force of the Huns.
At that time, it will be troublesome!
What's even more troublesome is that Liu Che is not yet ready militarily.
Fighting against North Korea is only one of his tactical purposes. By fighting against North Korea, gaining control of Liang's army is his strategic purpose.
This desire disrupted his plans and arrangements. If he still wants benefits, just dream!
Liu Che didn't immediately give the order and send an envoy to capture him and take him back to Chang'an, which was already a huge loss of face!
As for the third option, that is to play dumb, pretend that this is not the case, and not respond in any way.
Soon, Liu Che made a decision. He threw the memorial in his hand into Wang Dao's hand and ordered: "Take it and burn it!"
This memorial is Cheng Wang's secret memorial. It was taken through a special route and did not pass through the Prime Minister's Palace. Therefore, as long as it is burned, no one will know the whole thing except Liu Che and Cheng Wang themselves.
However, Liu Che knew that if he did this, his life would depend on his success.
The North Koreans will definitely not be able to bear this tone.
As for Wei Man Korea, there may not be many others, but there are many assassins and desperadoes!
Many criminals who were wanted in the Han Dynasty ended up taking refuge in Mitsukoshi, the Huns and Korea.
Xiaozhu's story was caused by the Koreans' revenge.
However, what does this have to do with Liu Che?
Since Cheng Wang dares to do such a thing, he has to bear the risks that come with it!
If he can avoid revenge and assassination by the Koreans, it will prove that he is still useful.
Can't hide just right!
"I'm afraid this is also the reason why Xiaozhu let him go so far back then?" Liu Che thought to himself.
After that, Liu Che stopped doing this.
For Liu Che, the biggest thing right now is undoubtedly the upcoming examination.
According to the estimates of Neishi Yamen and Shaofu Yamen, the number of scholars for this year's examination may exceed 10,000!
So many people were in Chang'an at the same time. This was undoubtedly a test of Liu's regime's organizational capabilities.
In order to maintain order, Liu Che has ordered that 10,000 troops from Bashang used to guard against the Huns' invasion be transferred back to Chang'an to assist the northern and southern armies.
At present, the public security in Chang'an is generally good. The rangers who caused trouble in the past are busy making money this year.
With the start of various projects in Guanzhong, these rangers were either hired as supervisors or were busy recruiting workers in Chang'an City, leaving them less time to do heroic deeds.
This examination is of great significance to the Han Dynasty.
If all goes well, after this examination, the Han Dynasty will begin the transition from a feudal military aristocratic group government to a bureaucratic interest group government.
In order to make this happen smoothly, Liu Che made a lot of compromises and concessions.
For example, he issued an order that all the descendants of marquises and honorable ministers would have their grades automatically raised by one grade.
Two days ago, he issued another edict, in the name of taking care of the meritorious officials. All nephews and nephews of officials with more than 2,000 shi participating in the examination will be treated according to the treatment of the nephews and nephews of high-ranking officials.
Black?
Very dark indeed!
But it must be so!
Otherwise, it would be a tragedy that most of the final applicants are from poor families.
The old aristocracy and bureaucratic class will inevitably hate and resist the further expansion of examinations.
If he wants the reform to proceed smoothly, Liu Che must make compromises in this regard.
Liu Che had never imagined that the bureaucratic aristocracy would put the country and the country first.
To be continued...
