Therefore, admonishment is useless, because the emperor cannot listen at all. Without enough wine, how can we hold a banquet, sing and dance?

The emperor will also get angry if he is annoyed, and the reason is very good. The wine tributes from various places are the wishes of local officials and the people. Are you trying to stop me by admonishing me to get close to the officials and the people? His intentions are worthy of death.

On the other hand, local officials offered wine tributes, not only to please the emperor and add support to their official careers, but also to seek personal gain or fill some financial shortfalls through this method.

An "open and bright" opportunity.

If the value of the tribute wine that the emperor can get is one, then local bureaucrats can often get three or four times the profit from it. If they do too much, it can be more than ten times. Where does this wealth come from? It is just to govern the people.

This is only the impact caused by the "tribute wine"!

From this, we can also draw another conclusion, that is, in the two years after Liu Wenpeng took charge, the officialdom of the Han Empire began to become turbid, and it was difficult for the officialdom to maintain the clarity it once had.

Above the court, the powerful people were full of contradictions and conflicts, and the struggle for power and gain became more and more obvious. At the same time, the prime ministers headed by Wang Dan were also responsible for maintaining the overall stability of the empire and the normal operation of the government. For local places, especially

These are some shortcomings that we cannot concentrate on or have enough authority to solve.

The intricate network of political interests leads to serious constraints. People in it cannot do more than work hard to safeguard their own interests. If they do, they often get stuck in the quagmire. Of course, there are always some passionate people.

, a good minister with a public heart, but compared with the general environment, he seems insignificant.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty in the Pingkang era was still in a state of Kangping on the whole. However, the excellent and clean and high-spirited political style of the Taizong era was constantly being corrupted. This kind of corruption was not obvious and silent.

, even more powerless, various obvious lesions began to appear on the huge body of the Han Empire.

All of this was obviously caused by Emperor Kang Le. At least Liu Wenpeng, who took over the empire from Emperor Taizong, must be primarily responsible!

This summer hunt lasted for another two days, and ended with the emperor returning disappointed. The reason for his failure was that the string of the precious eagle bow used by Emperor Liu Wenpeng was broken, which made people feel very distressed and even more frustrated.

However, when he returned to the palace city, he was shocked and heartbroken by a piece of bad news: his two-year-old son, Liu Jiye, the crown prince of the Han Empire, had died!

Over the years, while Liu Wenpeng was having fun, he had not slacked off in the cultivation of the harem. He was forced by the Queen Mother and cared about by his ministers. At the same time, he himself also hoped to have enough children.

However, the development of things often backfired. In the past few years, the concubines actually gave birth to two sons and three daughters for him, but most of them died young, and only one son and one daughter survived.

Especially the prince, who was the legitimate son born to Empress Yang, and his importance can be imagined. Although Liu Wenpeng was bored by Empress Yang's dignity and seriousness, he loved the prince she gave birth to. While naming him Jiye, he also

In the autumn of the fifth year of Pingkang, he was directly registered as the crown prince.

However, less than a year later, the prince he had high hopes for died at such a young age. Even Liu Wenpeng was heartbroken and cried endlessly. Perhaps, even when Taizong died, Liu Wenpeng had never been so sad.

An angry emperor can kill millions of people, and a sad emperor is equally dangerous. In grief, Liu Wenpeng gave an order to execute all the dozens of palace officials serving in the Kunming Palace.

The death of the prince must have a profound impact, because the upper echelons of the empire once again discovered a problem. It has been six years since the emperor's death, and the emperor of the Han Empire seems to have no heir again.
