When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 132 is a bit of a psychological challenge.

[But later, Liu Heng asked a person who could read faces to look at Deng Tong, but he came to a not so good conclusion. Deng Tong might have died of poverty and hunger. 】

[Liu Heng was greatly surprised. He was about to imprison this man. Liu Heng did not think that Deng Tong would die of hunger. Deng Tong's wealth and poverty all depended on his favor. How could Deng Tong die of hunger? 】

[So Liu Heng rewarded Deng Tong with the Tongshan Mountain in Shu Mountain and allowed Deng Tong to mint money privately. 】
-
Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Heng agreed. I am the co-owner of the world. With my favor, how could Deng Tong face poverty and hunger?
As for the reward of Deng Tong Tongshan, it was not a big deal for Liu Heng.

Although he has a very deep understanding of economic currency.

Under the circumstances at that time, private coinage could indeed further promote economic growth, and many similar powers were delegated to him. Deng Tong was not a special case, but he was given more rewards in compliance with the trend at the time.

Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

"It is indeed an extremely special opportunity for Emperor Wen to favor Deng Tong." Zhao Guangmei sighed.

If nothing else, Liu Heng himself was extremely frugal, and the same was true for his beloved concubines in the harem.

But what about facing Deng Tong?Just because a fortune teller told Deng Tong that he might die of hunger and poverty, he was given coins made by himself in Tongshan. Isn't this a special opportunity?
Is there any favorite in history who could do this?

Lives better than the emperor!
Zhao Dezhao also said: "Although Emperor Wen did reward Deng Tong, this physiognomist's conclusion was indeed not wrong."

[For a while, Liu Heng had carbuncles on his body, and Deng Tong often sucked the pus for him. 】

[Once, Liu Heng asked Deng Tongtong: "Who in the world loves me the most?"]

[Deng Tong said: "There should be no one as good as the prince."]

[So Liu Heng summoned the prince Liu Qi and asked him to suck the pus for him. 】

[However, although Liu Qi did as he was told, he hesitated for a moment and looked a little ugly. 】

[This incident made Liu Heng very unhappy, and it also made Liu Qi unhappy. 】

[Later he heard that Deng Tong often sucked pus for Emperor Wen, and he felt ashamed and resentful of Deng Tong. 】
-
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period.

The princes, who had been born in the comfortable environment created by Zhu Yuanzhang since childhood, looked at each other.

They do not have any material shortages. In terms of education, they have also experienced war under Zhu Yuanzhang's iron-blooded education. They have also suffered various traumas, and their will is incomparable.

But sucking pus and blood for others is a bit too challenging for their outlook.

This is not because of their lack of filial piety, but because such behavior is really unacceptable, even if this person is their old father.

Besides, it would only be enough to tell them in advance so that they could be mentally prepared. Liu Heng's unexpected question to Liu Qi would make anyone else feel uncomfortable.
-
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang's eyes were a little subtle. Although he started out in a rough place, he had always been shameless and famous for his flexible and adaptable style. He thought he had seen everything.

But sucking pus and blood is not difficult at all, but it is a bit of a psychological challenge.It is indeed inappropriate for a boy like Liu Heng to test the prince with such things.

After all, you have asked Liu Qi to be the emperor in the future, and you naturally know how much the prince cares about you, so why bother testing him with this kind of thing?
You must know that other emperors are just mediocre. Liu Heng can play so many tricks in politics. He obviously has a clear judgment as to whether the prince has himself in his heart. Why bother?
Moreover, even if the national power of the Han Dynasty during Liu Heng's period was withered, the Han Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles, and he himself was frugal in food and clothing, it would not be such that a prince could not even afford a meal.

If a well-dressed prince was allowed to suck pus, he would definitely feel disgusted, but what he disliked was not his old father, but the pus.

Liu Heng's move was somewhat unreasonable, and what's more, his actions made Deng Tong and the prince feel disgusted. When Liu Heng dies but Deng Tong is still around, then Liu Qi succeeds and Deng Tong will definitely have no good results.

[After Liu Heng died, Liu Qi succeeded to the throne. However, Deng Tong still controlled the copper mines in Shushan at this time, so Deng Tong was quickly dismissed. 】

[Subsequently, someone reported on Deng Tong, saying that he had gone abroad to mint money privately in order to avoid the court's taxation. 】

[Therefore, Liu Qi sent Deng Tong to prison for interrogation. Although he did not give special care, he still found that the situation was true, so he dealt with him severely, confiscated all his property, and made him owe countless money. 】
-
Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Heng and Liu Qi, father and son, looked at each other with deep understanding. There were no emotions such as discomfort, anger, or incomprehension. They both looked at each other extremely calmly, confirming that the father and son had the same thoughts, and did not put Deng Tong in their eyes. His eyes returned to the miracle.
-
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang raised his eyebrows, half-smiling: "This boy named Liu Qi's character and methods are much more ruthless than his father."

But such a new emperor was obviously very suitable for the situation of the Han Dynasty at that time.

Liu Qi's behavior not only expressed his inner displeasure, but also punished his subordinates in a reasonable and reasonable manner. At the same time, it gave the group of heroes a great power.

Although he did not inherit Liu Heng's gentle approach on the surface and slowly encroaching on him secretly, it was obvious that the tough attitude on the surface towards the hero group was also a sign of the emperor's move against the hero group.

It laid a certain foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to vigorously suppress the hero group and even the Huns.
-
Ming Dynasty, Yongle period.

Zhu Di obviously didn't care about Liu Qi's affairs. It is undeniable that Liu Qi is indeed different from Liu Heng in terms of personality. Basically, everything he does is based on his own ideas, and he will not wrong himself if he can.

But what's the problem?As an emperor, as the co-owner of this country, how could he be wronged?

As for the criticism of him by later generations, one is that he caused turmoil by cutting down the vassals, the other is that he abolished the queen and established the prince, and the third is that he killed the ministers.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, throughout history, which emperor is not like this?
In the face of great national troubles and political crises, can the so-called brotherhood and the blood relationship of the same surname and clan be comparable to the people of the world?
Should we stick to small personal relationships?

It is indeed not good to abolish the queen and establish a prince instead, but the queen can be the emperor's private matter, and naturally the emperor has the final say.

The prince cannot be dismissed so simply, and cannot be generalized. This is the foundation of the country.

But the new crown prince was the future Emperor Xiaowu. He was obviously good enough, and he completed a crucial step in changing the Han's attitude towards the hero group and the Huns.

Therefore, those ministers who disagreed were obstacles to the progress of the Han Dynasty, and it was naturally very reasonable to kill them.

In front of Jiangshan, everything that prevents the great man from reaching his peak, including the emperor himself, will be punished.
