Liu Che rode his horse forward and bent his bow to aim at an elk in the distance.

With a pop, the arrow flew out.

However, it's a pity that the shot was misaligned.

The arrow was nailed to the ground.

Liu Che shook his head, sighed, and said: "It seems that God does not want me to kill today..." He took off the bow and arrow, shrugged his shoulders, and ordered: "Let's end today's safari..."

Winter is the peak hunting season in Shanglinyuan.

Emperors, scholar-bureaucrats, ministers and princes all come here to hunt in groups.

The Liu royal family has always encouraged ministers and nobles to go hunting.

It is hoped that this will maintain the martial spirit of noble ministers.

From the current point of view, this policy is very good and has effectively maintained the vitality of the upper class of the ruling class.

only……

This is not enough.

In Liu Che's eyes, the children of these aristocratic ministers should go to Huaihua, go to Jiangdu, and go to the front line of the expansion of the Han Dynasty.

Only in this way can we train talents...

Now, with his encouragement and instigation, almost all the princes have sent their sons or nephews to Huaihua and North Korea.

This made him quite pleased.

"Your Majesty..." Fenyin Hou Zhou Zuoche, who was on a hunting trip with Liu Che, took this opportunity to ride his horse and approached Liu Che and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to investigate, I have already found out..."

"Well..." Liu Che got off his horse and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have found out that Hou Wei and others believed in Your Majesty's edict and defrauded the county road of gold..." Zhou Zuoche took out a secret report from his body, handed it to Liu Che, and said: "This is

Relevant testimonies and reports. Please take a look at your Majesty..."

Liu Che took it and looked at it, then sighed.

"Then how to deal with this matter?" Zhou Zuoche asked.

"Alas!" Liu Che sighed, shed two tears, and said, "I am your uncle and my late mother and concubine's brother. If I send you a letter of your honor, wouldn't it make my late mother and concubine extremely sad?"

To make the Su family extinct?"

"But, the law was established by the late emperor! How dare I insult it?" Wiping away those two tears, Liu Che turned around and resolutely ordered: "You, with my order, collect all the Su family's sons and nephews and move them to Shanglin Garden.

, build a separate garden, I will personally manage it!"

"As for the letter..." Liu Che's mouth twitched.

Ever since he ascended the throne, he knew that these cheap uncles would not give him too much trouble.

In order to avoid trouble, Liu Che simply sealed a few princes at random and sent them out.

Who would have thought, it has only been four years and already two of my dear uncles have killed themselves.

Therefore, Marquis Su Ning died on a woman's belly, which is the legendary Ma Feng...

Heyang Hou Suming, this is a fool. He actually believed in the elixir of life, and then devoted himself to the great cause of alchemy. As a result, he was poisoned by heavy metals and burped...

The last one left was Su Wei. I thought he could make a difference.

result……

He actually started pretending to be an edict!

And it’s the stupidest pretense!

According to Zhou Zuoche’s investigation results.

This guy was deceived by some bureaucrats in Danyang County.

These bureaucrats told him that your Majesty is your uncle. As an elder of the country, your Majesty's property is not the property of your Majesty.

Then, he tried his best to send him money from the official warehouse.

This guy has no brains. When he saw money coming to his door for him to spend, of course he took it with a smile.

But he knew that these bureaucrats had set a trap for him.

Isn’t there a big exam this year?

The county's account books and expenses for the past three years must be reported to Chang'an.

However, in the past three years, those bureaucrats have not only continued to send money to this idiot Su Wei.

They even used Su Wei's tiger skins to make a fortune in the official warehouse.

When the details of the expenditure had to be reported to the central government, they went to find Su Wei and told him: Your Majesty has withdrawn tens of millions of money from the official warehouse in the past two years, and now he has plans for the world. We are afraid that Wei Ting will use this to embarrass you.

Please make plans in advance.

Anyway, these guys tried their best to fool Su Wei into a trap and made him forge Liu Che's orders and edicts.

It is said that Liu Che issued an edict, ordering Danyang County to give Xinhou a thousand pieces of gold, 20 million yuan, and 500 pieces of cloth from the official warehouse.

Report the matter to the Shaofu.

When the young master saw it, it was strange, why didn’t we know?

So I came to ask Liu Che. Of course Liu Che had never issued such an edict.

So, they all suffered a tragedy.

Originally, these bureaucrats had good intentions.

Xinhou is the emperor's uncle, and both Chenghou and Heyanghou have already passed away. Today, there is only one biological uncle left.

Would you still be shameless over such a trivial matter?

Even if something happens, it will be bad luck.

Anyway, they are innocent.

When Xinhou came over with the emperor's edict, what else could they do?

Even if there is a mistake, it is just an honest mistake.

In this way, no matter what the outcome is, they can perfectly put the country's money into their own pockets.

But they never expected it.

Liu Che has always been very picky with his dear uncles.

If he hadn't been concerned about public opinion and the opinions of the people in the world, the first thing he would do after taking the throne would be to send all these dear uncles to prison to be imprisoned, so that they would not cause trouble outside and embarrass themselves.

So, they were miserable.

In front of Xiuyiwei, all secrets are no secrets.

If it weren't for Liu Che not wanting to make things worse, they would all be dead at this moment.

But even so, their end was not much better.

"Let's deal with Zhihou's story..." Liu Che pretended to be very sad and said: "I can't love one person but not the world. The king is selfless and has been so since ancient times..."

This sentence is comparable to his father's historical sentence, "I don't love anyone to thank the world."

"As for those officials..." Liu Che's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "They are not my ministers who encourage the ministers and correct the edicts. The first offenders of the three tribes will be cut in half! The governor of Danyang County cannot do what I want and has failed my expectations. He will be dismissed immediately.

, was deposed as a commoner, and the county captain could not abide by his duties and covenants, so he was demoted to the rank of pavilion chief, and was sent to Korea..."

As soon as he spoke, the entire Danyang County was cleaned up.

Under this order, the entire Danyang bureaucracy needed to be replaced.

But what's the point?

Magistrate of Danyang County, as ********* and governor of the province, there is such a big mess under your rule, don't you have the responsibility to lead?

And the county lieutenant, as a member of the Standing Committee and also the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, deserved the punishment for his poor supervision.

As for those corrupt officials, if they all die, it will be beneficial to the world.

After four years as emperor, Liu Che had a new understanding of how the emperor balanced the conflicts and interests between the elite nobles and the lower classes.

In Liu Che's view, the Han Dynasty was a semi-feudal and semi-militarist regime.

The scholar-bureaucrat class and the military aristocracy had an inherent advantage over the common people.

They not only enjoy countless privileges and resources, but also possess huge wealth and land.

If the emperor does not move his butt to the side of the common people, the two can achieve a certain sense of balance.

Then, twenty or thirty years later, even if the Han Dynasty conquered India and dominated the world.

But the result could be backyard fires and peasant uprisings raging everywhere.

So, in fact, in China, in many cases, it is the emperor or the group of rulers at the top of the pyramid who really determines the future of the country.

It is very important for them to choose which side to stand between the powerful literati and the common people.
