"Abdicate!" Gao Xiuer and Yuan Ziyan were both shocked when they heard this, "Husband, why did you suddenly think of abdicating?"
Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Actually, my husband has had this idea for a long time, but he was just worried that Gen'er and the others would not be able to take on the important responsibilities. Now, Gen'er has gone to another world, and Yun'er has been acting well during this period. If my husband had taken care of this earlier,
If you give up your position to them, maybe this kind of thing won't happen."
…
The order to abdicate caused an uproar throughout the Han Dynasty. Officials from all over the country wrote letters to remonstrate. Even Wei Zheng and others who had no longer asked about government affairs knocked on the palace door. For this reason, Liu Ziqiu issued another self-incriminating edict, stating that he had actually committed suicide early.
He detected that someone was about to commit rebellion, but he took it lightly and failed to take more precautions. As a result, tens of thousands of lives were ruined and he was no longer qualified to be the king of a country.
Later, he issued an order declaring that the country would implement a constitutional monarchy. The descendants of the Liu family were still emperors of the Han Dynasty, but they only had the title of head of state. The executive power was held by the cabinet, and the legislative power was exercised by the two-level congress.
, there are additional magistrates in various places who are responsible for judging cases. This is the separation of the three powers and checks and balances on each other.
Because a lot of preparations had been made in advance, this order did not cause much surprise to people. It is just that the county guards and county magistrates of various local governments no longer bear the responsibility of reviewing cases, and the powers are further refined and divided. Of course, the military is still in control
In the hands of the royal family, even the general's power to mobilize troops was reduced to 500 people. With the experience of Zhang Liang's rebellion, the generals could not say much. The soldiers of the Han Dynasty were treated very well.
From generals to pawns, everyone can live a prosperous life. Therefore, no one is willing to rebel.
Knowing that Liu Ziqiu had made up his mind, everyone stopped trying to persuade him and had no choice but to support Liu Siyun on the throne.
…
Liu Ziqiu spent two leisurely days in the palace, then summoned Gao Xiuer and others and said, "My husband plans to leave Luoyang and travel around the world."
Gao Xiuer and others said in unison: "I am willing to go with your Majesty."
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Can you trust the children?"
Xie Muyu's youngest son was already ten years old. Although she was reluctant to give up, she was the first to say: "With their second brother taking care of him, I can rest assured."
Several other women also echoed in unison.
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "In that case, let's go together."
…
In the spring of the 16th year of the Daxing Dynasty, Liu Ziqiu and his concubines left the palace and took a boat to go south. Before leaving, Liu Ziqiu left a letter to warn the military officials in the world to abide by the law. Anyone who dares to do illegal things will be punished even though they are thousands of miles away.
, his head will be taken. He also warns the descendants of the Liu family not to seize the power of the cabinet, judges and congress without authorization. Anyone who violates this order will have their relatives exterminated for justice.
A few days later, this letter was published in the Han Dynasty newspaper. All the gentry and common people in the world were shocked when they heard about it.
However, there are lawless people in the world, so there is law. When there is law, there are those who dare to test the law. Dong Anjian, the governor of Langya County, searched for people's wealth and was very resentful. Some people reported it to the government officials. Qu Wendong, the governor of Langya County, and Dong Anjian colluded together.
, he was found not guilty, but the first accuser was given thirty sticks and driven out of the county.
Three days after the verdict of the case was announced, a knight suddenly arrived at night and beheaded Dong Anjian. Qu Wendong's head was hung on the city gate. A blood letter was posted below, listing the charges against the two men, and Liu Ziqiu's emperor's seal.
Soon after, numerous corrupt officials were killed in the same manner as Dong and Qu. Several of them were killed within a day despite being thousands of miles apart. At this point, everyone believed Liu Ziqiu's words. So, the world
The officials were all wary and cautious, and no one dared to take a step beyond the thunder. At this point, the official administration of the Han Dynasty was clear and unparalleled.
The next year, Mu Duoli's third son Liu Siduo was bewitched by someone and wanted to seek the position of his grandfather Mu Lin. He was tied to a tree outside the camp with the bewitcher, and his crimes were listed on his body. Thinking that he had not carried out the plan,
Therefore, he was spared his death, but his martial arts skills were abolished. From then on, the Liu family's descendants also worked conscientiously, each pursuing his own career, and no longer dared to covet other people's wealth. In fact, every royal child can receive a large sum of money when he reaches adulthood.
As long as they don't squander their wealth, they can have enough food and clothing.
In fact, no one has seen Liu Ziqiu since he left Luoyang. Even Gao Xiuer, Xie Muyu and others who were with him have lost their traces. However, whenever a corrupt official appears, no matter how deep he hides, Liu Ziqiu will
Take his head. Of course, if the corrupt official voluntarily surrenders and withdraws the stolen goods, he can also escape the disaster.
During this period, there were also people who used Liu Ziqiu's name to get rid of corrupt officials to kill people and steal goods. However, without exception, they were all beheaded in public within three days of the incident. Therefore, no one dared to pretend to be Liu Ziqiu's name again.
These deeds were spread everywhere by the Han Dynasty newspapers, and they were so miraculous. Some people even hung up portraits of Liu Ziqiu in their homes and worshiped them. In the south, people worshiped Liu Ziqiu as a god of discernment, while in the north, people respected Liu Ziqiu as a god of fairness and justice.
god.
…
Of course, Liu Ziqiu is not a god, and he cannot be everywhere. In an era without modern transportation such as airplanes and high-speed rail, it is even less possible for him to travel thousands of miles overnight. At this time, he is living in Yuhang with his beloved woman
In the abandoned manor outside the city, the treasures originally buried in the manor have long been removed. The huge manor is covered with grass and looks desolate from the outside. However, the inside of the manor has been renovated and has a new look. The surrounding areas of the manor
Various mechanisms built by Yu Wenkai in his own years were set up, making it difficult for even martial arts masters to enter, not to mention ordinary thieves.
Living here, naturally, there is no need to worry about being disturbed. Of course, Liu Ziqiu cannot live this kind of secluded life all day long. Most of the time, he still takes Gao Xiuer and the others to travel around the world, and by the way, he gets rid of a few corrupt officials. This is just a temporary place for him.
A place to rest.
Finding a peaceful resting place during the journey is really one of life's great pleasures. Now, Liu Ziqiu's family is sitting around the big round table, tasting the dishes carefully cooked by Lin Qiaoer, and the laughter is soaring into the sky, but outsiders are not allowed to
Just know it.
Mu Duoli picked up a piece of beef tenderloin, nodded repeatedly, and praised: "Sister Lin's craftsmanship has really improved again."
Vanilla smiled beside her and said, "Sister Mu, you are mistaken. I made this dish."
Everyone laughed, but Tuoba Qianyu took a sip of wine and said, "My husband makes good wine, it's strong enough."
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "Strong wine, beauty, my favorite, but a little less music."
Xie Muyu and Xie Xiangwen stood up together and said, "If your husband likes it, how about my two sisters playing a song for him together?"
Both of them are masters of piano skills, and their song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" was like the sound of nature. Gao Xiuer also became interested, drew her sword and said: "Please let me dance as my husband."
Over there, Wang Yufeng also stood up and danced with Gao Xiuer. She and Gao Xiuer were soft and strong, and they complemented each other perfectly.
Liu Ziqiu repeatedly stroked his palms and said, "Sing a song for your husband to help you get drunk."
The girls clapped their hands together and laughed in unison: "I haven't heard my husband sing yet, but I can listen attentively today."
Liu Ziqiu didn't know how to play a musical instrument, so he took a chopstick and tapped it lightly on the table, singing loudly: "The sea laughs, and the tide surges on both sides of the bank. Ups and downs follow the waves, only remembering the present day. The sky laughs, and the tides in the world come one after another. Whoever loses wins.
God knows. The mountains and rivers laugh, the mist and rain are far away, and the waves wash away the mundane things in this world. How beautiful the world is. The breeze laughs, causing loneliness, the pride is left, and the evening light shines..."
The girls had never heard this kind of melody before, and they were a little crazy for a while. Until he started singing, several people started singing in a low voice. They were already good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and were proficient in music, and this song became catchy again.
It was natural and effortless to learn the oral. Soon bursts of singing could be heard in the hall, which was actually much better than Liu Ziqiu's "original singing".
The girls sang and laughed, and made a fuss. Xie Muyu suddenly asked: "Husband, has this song ever been famous?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "The name of this song is Swordsman."
"Swordsman?" Hua Yun couldn't help but frown, "Husband, do you really plan to never return to the temple?"
Liu Ziqiu chuckled and said: "This is the life I want for my husband. Singing with you, playing the piano, expressing my love for the mountains and rivers, and occasionally killing a few corrupt officials. If life is like this, what else can I ask for?"
Xie Xiangwen said in surprise: "By the way, sister Ziyan did a divination today, why hasn't she come for so long?"
Liu Ziqiu is not really a god, so how can he know who is a corrupt official and who is an honest official? It all relies on Yuan Ziyan's magical arithmetic. Since the two fortune-telling books were combined into one, Yuan Ziyan's arithmetic has finally become a success, and it no longer works sometimes.
However, Liu Ziqiu knew that people will always have greed, and it is impossible to eliminate corrupt officials. Therefore, he set a condition for Yuan Ziyan. Only officials who have reached a certain level of bribery are worthy of his action. Of course, the real action is
He was not the only one. Under his guidance, Mu Duoli and Tuoba Qianyu also made rapid progress in martial arts and were able to stand alone. Therefore, there was an anecdote that corrupt officials from two places were killed on the same day. Yuan Ziyan was born in a poor family and hated those corrupt officials the most.
I am a dirty official, so I am very willing to do divination every day and never tire of it.
While he was talking, Yuan Ziyan walked in from the outside, with a depressed look on his face, and said: "Husband, I have been here for ten consecutive days, and I have not been able to predict a single divination."
Gao Xiuer smiled and said: "That is a good thing, it means that there are no more corrupt officials in the Han Dynasty."
Liu Ziqiu also smiled and said: "Yes, it is a good thing that there are no corrupt officials. From now on, my husband will not have to travel around. I can stay with you all day long and sleep with you."
"We don't want to sleep with you, let's let Sister Xiu'er come alone." "Whether I come, it's up to you, Sister Qianyu." "No, no, no, it's up to Sister Muyu to come."
The women were laughing and joking, and left in the blink of an eye, leaving Liu Ziqiu alone in a daze.
Suddenly I heard two clear female voices saying: "Your Majesty, let's accompany you."
Liu Ziqiu turned around and looked around, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Wuguo, Lanyue, why are you here?"
The two girls, no, it should be two eldest girls now, laughed in unison: "Sister Xiu'er brought us here."
"Xiu'er? What a joke. I'm going to settle the score with her." As he spoke, Liu Ziqiu rushed out of the hall.
