Chapter 189 The Son of Heaven cannot climb high

After Liu Hong's court, Empress Dowager Dong was impatient to find him.

"Son of the Emperor, why did Liu Fan appear safely in the court today?" As soon as we met, Empress Dowager Dong questioned Liu Hong.

After hearing that Liu Fan had gone to court today, she immediately rushed from Yongle Palace.

"Mrs. Fu was obsessed with the wickedness and committed a death sentence. I am also heartbroken when I ask my mother to mourn me." Liu Hong changed the subject and looked heartbroken.

"What is Mrs. Cheng's crime? Is it a sale of official positions in the Four Gardens? I advise you to set up the establishment of the official positions. Why don't Liu Fan kill me?" Seeing Liu Hong's shirk, Empress Dowager Dong was furious.

Because Liu Hong did not obey her wishes for the first time.

"Don't calm down. Mrs. Cheng's crimes have committed more than just selling official positions. Mother, let's go back and rest. The state has its own laws, and I will make a conclusion on everything." Liu Hong frowned, and he felt that his mother's words were a little extreme.

"Liu Fan cannot die well." Empress Dowager Dong left angrily.

At this time, a woman with white skin and beautiful appearance led a nine-year-old boy towards her.

This is the queen and the sister of General He Jin. She is deeply loved by Liu Hong. The child is Liu Hong's eldest son and prince Liu Bian.

"Meet the Queen Mother."

"Meet the Emperor's Grandmother."

Empress He and Liu Bian greeted Empress Dowager Dong. The angry Empress Dowager Dong was not grateful and snorted and left.

Everyone in the palace knew that Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He were not in dealing with each other.

The reason was that Empress He had a son and prince debated, and Empress Dowager Dong raised Prince Xie. Liu Hong did not like the eldest son Liu Bian, but preferred the second son Liu Xie. If it were not for Liu Bian as the eldest son, Liu Xie would have been made the crown prince.

"I wish you to see Your Majesty."

"My son pays homage to the father."

Empress He and Liu Bian bowed to Liu Hong again.

"What's going on with you?" Liu Hong, who was upset, responded as he pleased.

"I and Bian'er haven't seen their mother for a long time. I want to go out of the palace to meet my mother and brother. I hope your Majesty will be right." Empress He Liu Hong asked.

"Accurate!" Liu Hong agreed without thinking.

...

After several days of continuous postings, I posted a list of articles and sent orders to prefectures and counties. I wanted to post the laws to the county and township pavilions, and formulate a plan to start the implementation from the inside out.

However, the government orders were blocked by the eunuchs' forces and progressed slowly.

In the Sili area, the heads of the counties and counties did not publish the reforms and kept the people in the dark, let alone the prefectures and counties outside Sizhou.

The people are not aware of the reform laws, the "military farm system", the "one-whip method", and the "industrial examination system" cannot be implemented at all.

Hedong County, Anyi.

The prefect of Hedong, Wang Yi, encountered a very difficult problem and went to Cai Yong's mansion to discuss.

"Brother Bo Ji, General Bo Ji launched a reform, and the government orders were passed to the county government. This order is perfect. General Bo Ji is worthy of being a peerless talent. Brother Bo Ji, please read it!" Wang Yi took out an edict from his arms and handed it to Cai Yong.

Good fortune is so good that Liu Fan was an ordinary marquis a year ago. Half a year ago, Liu Fan led his troops to leave Hedong, and in a blink of an eye it became the existence they looked up to.

Living in one place, you can hear rumors about Liu Fan from time to time. The Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, which makes them ashamed.

Cai Yong opened the memorial and read it carefully. The more he read it, the more frightened he became, and the more excited he became.

This is to live in peace for the people and find a way out for poor people! Cai Yong is also from a poor family, and he knows very well how difficult it is for poor families to stand in the court.

"Then why don't you ask the pen clone to copy it and post it in the village. What should you do to me?" Cai Yong asked.

"As the prefect of Hedong, I am not the first to receive this news. The Hedong gentry led by the Jia family, Pei family, Liu family and Xue family are very dissatisfied with this and threatened to write to the court. The quotation was copied yesterday, and I have ordered it, but until today, I have not posted a single one. The chief and county magistrate are both from gentry, so they are not the same as me." Wang Yi sighed.

Hedong is a big county close to Luoyang. The gentry is very popular, and most of the officials are from gentry. The laws of reform directly violated their interests.

Wang Yi advocated Wen, but not Wu. Therefore, he could not control the military and political power of a county in this chaotic world.

If the officials under him are not afraid of him, they will naturally disobey him.

"This is just a dictatorship. You can't even tell the people of Hedong at all. If the laws implemented are passed down, you will be unable to move forward! It would be better if you personally bring your confidants to post the charts in the city and send cavalry to the village." Cai Yong suggested to Wang Yi.

"That's all." Wang Yi nodded.

...

Liu Fan always trusts his words when encountering things, and will do what he does, and will not give up halfway.

Faced with this dilemma, Liu Fan gathered his confidant staff to discuss countermeasures.

"General, if the eunuchs dare to be so arrogant, there will definitely be someone who supports it. Your Majesty supports the reform and will not indulge eunuchs in this way. The one who supports the eunuchs is Empress Dowager Dong." Yang Xuyan said.

Liu Fan had a holiday with Empress Dowager Dong, and Empress Dowager Dong was not so easy to give up.

"The Ten Constellations put their fathers, brothers, children, relatives, and guests in various prefectures and counties, monopolize the wealth and profits, invade the people, and have nowhere to complain about the wrongs of the people. Therefore, there will be rebellion that rises up and thieves who become bandits. They should kill the Ten Constellations and hang their heads in the southern suburbs to completely shock the little ones, and also thank the people." Zhang Jun said with a serene expression.

Liu Fan thought Zhang Jun was a madman because when he was handling memorials, he often saw Zhang Jun write a letter asking the emperor to kill the ten eunuchs.

Zhang Jun dared to speak out desperately, and his courage was commendable. But it was too difficult to kill the Ten Generals.

"I want to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, but Gong Da has a clever plan." Liu Fan asked Xun You. Jia Xu was not here, and Xun You was his think tank.

"The General is deeply trusted by Your Majesty. You can persuade Your Majesty to climb up and take a look." Xun You bowed his hand and replied to Liu Fan, with some meaning.

Liu Fan was silent for a moment, and after a while, he had an enlightenment.

Xun You is worthy of being a person who can write biographies with Jia Xu and Xun Yu, and is well-known.

A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the time to move. He is talking about people like Xun You.

Without further ado, Liu Fan immediately entered the palace to meet Liu Hong.

"Marquis Jiang, General of the Cavalry, records the Secretary of the Shangshu Liu Fan and meets His Majesty." As soon as Liu Fan arrived at the Imperial Book Platform, the emcee shouted at the door.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Liu Fan bowed to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong was reviewing the memorial, while Zhang Rang was serving him.

Just so happens that if you don’t mess with you this time, you will also let you lose your skin. Liu Fan said in his heart.

"The emperor brother is calm, what's the matter with me?" Liu Hong asked.

"If Your Majesty wants to know how the people in Luoyang City live? You will know it when you climb a high place." Liu Fan said to Liu Hong.

"The emperor cannot climb high, otherwise he will suffer a great disaster." Before Liu Hong could speak, Zhang Rang persuaded anxiously, feeling confused.

He often said this to Liu Hong, and used this to fool Liu Hong because he was afraid that one day the emperor would discover his secret.

Liu Hong trusted Zhang Rang very much, so he never stood at the highest point of the palace and watched Luoyang City.

"The misunderstanding, the emperor's supreme emperor should be above the top of the world and overlook all living beings." Liu Fan denied Zhang Rang's words and said seriously.
