Chapter 108 Han Wu Era ([-])

the first year of Taichu
Chang'an Weiyang Palace

Emperor Liu Che looked at the report, his hands were shaking, not because he was cold, but because he was too angry.

There has been a lot of bad news this year.

First of all, civil uprisings in various places have never been completely quelled, just like a single spark.

Secondly, a country called Dawan in the Western Regions not only refused to form an alliance, but also directly killed the envoy sent by the Han to Dawan.

In the end, nine of the governors of the thirteen prefectures died in accidents in just over a year, and the remaining four governors kept writing letters, wanting to retire and return to their hometowns, and dared not continue to be governors.

When the governor of Youzhou was in love with his concubine at night, he accidentally knocked over the candle, lit the whole station on fire, and was finally burned to death in his sleep.

The governor of Yuzhou accidentally fell down while using the toilet and was drowned by feces.

The governor of Yanzhou missed his wife in Chang'an so much that he hanged himself.

When the governor of Jingzhou was on a boat, the boat accidentally leaked, fell into the water and drowned.

When the governor of Yangzhou was observing the people's sentiments on the street, a lunatic beggar in the crowd suddenly jumped up and killed the governor.

The governor of Jizhou was killed by a group of bandits, and that group of bandits is said to have been wiped out now.

There are all kinds of strange accidents, which are dazzling.

"Strict investigation! Give me a strict investigation!"

The emperor was furious, and lost his temper at the trembling doctor Yushi.

"promise."

Doctor Yu Shi tremblingly responded.

After telling the censor to investigate the accident of the assassin, the emperor began to order again: "A small country in the Western Regions, if you dare to kill our Han envoy, I will never forgive you! Li Guangli, I will send you [-] cavalry to destroy that Dawan country."

"Minister, obey the order." The new relative Li Guangli was very happy.

Within a few months after Wei Qing's death, Emperor Liu Che fell in love with a new concubine, Mrs. Li, and gradually alienated the empress Wei Zifu.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old relatives, the Wei family, are losing power, and the new relatives, the Li family, are about to rise.

But Emperor Liu Che took it for granted, not all his relatives were as honest and talented as Wei Qing.

Most relatives are both incompetent and dishonest, this is human nature, and Wei Qing's noble and capable relatives are an exception.

Li Guangli's military talent is not as good as Li Guang's, but his ambition is much higher than Li Guangda's.

Li Guang just wanted to be named a prince, and then he would be satisfied with his fame forever.

However, Li Guangli wanted to be an uncle of the state, or even a powerful minister, and wanted his nephew to be the next generation of emperor.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sees you."

As soon as Li Guangli obeyed the order, the eunuch reported to Emperor Liu Che.

"Let him in." The emperor said coldly.

After a while, Prince Liu Ju came in, followed by a doctor of literature.

"I pay my respects to my father!" the prince said respectfully.

"Chen, Di Shan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." The doctor of literature also saluted respectfully.

"What's your purpose here?" Emperor Liu Che got straight to the point. As he got older, his patience with anything became less and less, and he had to hurry up no matter what he did.

"My ministers are here to present strategies for governing the country." The prince was a little scared, the oppression his father brought was too strong, but he hesitated for a while before speaking out his purpose.

"A strategy for governing the country? Hehe..." Emperor Liu Che smiled, as if he was pleased that his son had grown up, and then asked curiously, "Then what good strategy for governing the country are you going to offer?"

"Today the people's livelihood is in decline, and there are civil uprisings in all counties and counties. My minister thinks that the war should be stopped immediately and rest with the people." The prince said in a general way, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead after speaking. Emperor.

"Is that all? Ha!" Emperor Liu Che was tired of hearing this kind of talk about recuperation. When he first became emperor, Han Anguo and other ministers advised him like this every day. He had long been impatient with this kind of talk, so he was cold He said coldly, "If you have anything else to say, just say it."

"My son..." The prince did not dare to continue, fearing to offend the emperor, so he looked at Di Shan, a doctor of literature behind him.

"Oh, I also found a helper." Emperor Liu Che sneered, and then said to Di Shan: "Since you are the prince's man, then you can say it, I want to see your so-called good policy for governing the country."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Dishan, a doctor of literature, was also afraid of the emperor, but he was the henchman of the prince. If the prince dared not say it, he would say it for the prince, otherwise he would lose the meaning of existence, so he hesitated. : "Chen, Di Shan, um... there are, there are good policies for governing the country, um... just, that is... restore the peace with the Xiongnu, stop the operation of the Western Regions, um... reduce taxes, cancel the salt and iron government camps, and there are other things want……"

"Okay, shut up!" Emperor Liu Che immediately lost interest when he heard these clichés, and directly told Di Shan to shut up, and said with a sneer, "I'm tired of hearing what you said."

"But Your Majesty, what I say comes from the bottom of my heart, and it is for the country and the country of my great man." After finishing speaking, Di Shan glanced at Li Guangli, the general at the side, and continued: "It's not like some people, who do it for themselves. If you can make military achievements, you will bewitch His Majesty to go to war every day, so that our treasury is exhausted and the people's livelihood is withered."

"Dr. Di has something to say, so why beat around the bush." ​​No matter what kind of person Li Guangli is, how could he admit cowardice in front of a doctor of literature who has just been recommended by the procuratorate, so he retorted disdainfully: "If there are no generals like us on the front line Fighting bloody battles, how can you nerds sit in Taixue and read those sage classics, the Huns have already chopped off their heads and used them as jugs, haha!"

"You!" Dishan was so angry that he wanted to curse, but.

"Okay! Shut up!"

Emperor Liu Che obviously favored Li Guangli on purpose. When Li Guangli spoke, he would not tell everyone to shut up, but when Di Shan spoke, he told everyone to shut up.

After everyone quieted down, Emperor Liu Che said to Di Shan: "If someone else said such a thing in front of me, your head would have fallen off."

"Your Majesty!" Dishan knelt down in fright.

"Okay! Didn't I kill you? For the prince's sake, I won't kill you. Not only will I not kill you, but I will give you a promotion." Emperor Liu Che teased.

"Promoted, promoted?" Di Shan was puzzled, he said something that the emperor didn't like to hear, why did the emperor give him a promotion?Could it be that he was persuaded by himself?

"Yes, promotion." Emperor Liu Che smiled and said, "I'll let you go to Juyanhai to be a captain of two thousand shi, and lead my soldiers to fight in the battlefield. Do you have the ability?"

"Your Majesty!!!" Dishan was so frightened that he cried and trembled. He could only study hard all his life, and he had never killed anyone, not even a chicken. Letting him go to the battlefield would be like giving away his head, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Chen, Chen, I don't have the ability..."

"Well, let you go to Hexi to be a county captain and protect a county, can you do it?" Emperor Liu Che lowered his request.

"Chen, I can't do it..." Di Shan replied truthfully, trembling all over.

"Well, then I will lower the requirements and let you be a lieutenant and guard a pavilion. You can always do this, right?" Emperor Liu Che's eyes gradually became sharper. If Di Shan dared to refuse, that would be true. will kill.

"Chen, Chen, I should be able to do it..." Di Shan wanted to continue to decline, but seeing the terrifying look in the emperor's eyes, he was so frightened that he had no choice but to agree.

"Heh!" Emperor Liu Che sneered, and then said to Li Guangli in a strange manner: "Li Guangli, arrange a booth for our Dr. Dishan to serve as Wei Shi, and assign a few more elite soldiers to him. Dr. Dishan is our precious man." Talent, a great talent can’t be produced in thousands of years, a military general like you, 1 can’t compare to a hair of others, so you can’t let him make mistakes, understand?”

"Sir, obey the order." Li Guangli agreed very readily, and then pretended to be polite to Di Shan who was standing aside stupidly: "Dr. Gu Shuojin, killing a single Hun will be defeated."

"Me! Me!" Di Shan was crying, feeling very wronged, he just came to be a microphone for Prince Liu Ju, why was he sent to the front by Emperor Liu Che to fight.
