Liu Bing has been ascending the throne for seven months and has been ignoring government affairs under the pretext of mourning for Xiao Zhao. Even the often longing for the Xi'an Marquis Ren Hong deliberately endured not to meet him in private.

He never expected that as the emperor, the first government affairs he had the opportunity to handle personally were a bunch of Liu's family scandals that felt embarrassing when he said it.

The case of the murder case of Liu Qu, the King of Guangchuan, Liu Nian, the King of Qinghe, and his sister, the case of Liu Nian, the Beast of Zichuan, the case of Liu Jungu, the case of Liu Jiande, the case of the burning of civil servants by the King of Changsha, the crime of the eight princes and marquis, and the case of the King of Chu admonishing the King of Guangling cursing the emperor's rebellion, were reported by Tian Yannian, the Great Honglu Tian and placed in front of Liu Bingyi.

The generals can discuss with the Empress Dowager and deal with it themselves, but they can't get around the emperor's lords.

The princes and royal families were still governed by the clan rule system. The emperor was the main sect, while the princes were the small sects, so the Zongzheng was appointed as the nine ministers to deal with these issues. Therefore, the Shangshutai did not make any instructions on the crimes of the kings and directly handed over to the emperor.

Liu Bingyi immediately summoned Zong Zheng Liu De. In front of the palace servant, he pretended that he had not received patriarchal education from the people and knew nothing, and asked about everything in detail.

Liu Deze reported to Liu Bingyi: "Have your Majesty ever heard a folk song? A foot of cloth can still be sewn; a bucket of millet can still be pounded; two brothers are incompatible!"

Liu Bingyi nodded: "This is the death of Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, during the period of Xiaowen."

At that time, Liu Chang planned to rebel and even contacted the Minyue and the Xiongnu. The matter was exposed and he was held guilty and exiled to Yan Dao - the place where the deposed emperor Liu He went. As a result, Liu Chang committed suicide halfway, which caused an uproar, and public opinion turned from condemnation to sympathy for Liu Chang.

Although Emperor Wen of Han killed the Prime Minister of Huainan and the Censors were willing to restor the princes, all the servants and officials involved in this matter were executed and abandoned the market, and they buried Liu Chang with great burial. However, even so, the people still sang this song, believing that Emperor Wen was flirting with and begging for Liu Chang's fiefdom and forced him to death.

In the end, Emperor Wen could only grant the land of Huainan Kingdom to Chang Liu's sons to show that he had no intention of harming the public.

The most difficult thing in this world is housework, and it is difficult to distinguish between public and private.

Liu Bingyi's situation is worse than that of Emperor Wen. Liu Chang was Xiaowen's younger brother, and for Liu Bingyi, King Guangling was his grandfather.

Furthermore, he was just a puppet. The general handed the sword to the emperor to deal with the princes. It seemed to respect his opinion, but it was unknown whether the handle or the blade was handed over. If it was not handled properly, it would be bloody.

As far as Liu Bingyi knows, King Liu Yanshou of Chu was not a good thing. When King Guangling entered the court, he secretly got in-laws. The two even got married. The brother-in-law of the King of Chu married the daughter of King Guangling. Now the King of Chu suddenly reported to King Guangling. Perhaps because of Tian Yannian's decisive behavior in Jizhou and Qingzhou, the embroidered envoy began to enter and exit Xuzhou.

Liu Bingyi then said: "King Guangling is my closest relative, and it is of great importance. How can we arrest him rashly because of the King of Chu's remarks? He also ordered the messenger to report to King Guangling for what the King of Chu told him."

There were two ways for the Han Dynasty to interrogate the princes. One was that the prime minister, the censor, the Grand Master, the Grand Master, and the Tingwei sent people to interrogate the rule, that is, the trial was conducted. The location was generally located in counties not far from the vassal state.

The second type is to be heard from the moment of the time. Putting aside the existing litigation procedures, I directly sent envoys to question the princes and kings in person. For example, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu An, the King of Huainan, siege Liu An, asked the princes to arrest the king, but Xiaowu did not agree to the request of his subordinates, but sent Han Lieutenant Hong to be heard from Liu An.

After Xiaojing, the princes had lost the ability to rebel and received the court's hearing. If they were really rebellious and committed suicide in order to retain their dignity, they would generally commit suicide. Of course, some people would stubbornly refuse to admit it, so they could only put aside their warmth and investigate it thoroughly.

The case of King Guangling is not as clear as other kings, and relying solely on indirect evidence and the remarks of King Chu is not enough to convince people.

Let King Guangling get furious and get into trouble with King Chu. Regardless of the fact that the matter is true or false, one of them will be destroyed in the end, and even let them die together.

Compared with King Guangling, the cases of other princes are much easier to handle.

But Liu Bingye was not in a hurry to make a conclusion about their outrageous crimes, but continued to learn Xiaowu's routine.

"I have accused the young and weak body of Shao Datong, King Guangchuan and others of the crimes, and sent the general and the marquis to join the Prime Minister's Office, and the doctor discussed it with two thousand stones and two thousand stones!"

...

If it is not easy to be a one-man rule, let the ministers discuss it. For example, if the prince is convicted, it is too heartless because the status of the lord is inconvenient, and when the emperor finally seizes the punishment, he will be punished with the first level on the basis of the decision of the ministers.

If the market is abandoned, the princes will commit suicide; if the punishment is executed, the country will be exempted from death and the country will be moved away; if the king is abandoned, the county will be removed.

Xiaowu used this trick to deal with the princes' crimes, and it was tried and tested. Except for the sarcastic spirit, King Xian of Hejian, Xiaowu endured the rest of his brothers and killed Liu An, who was very famous and many nephews, but no one called him "a foot of cloth could be cut."

In addition to letting the ministers be bad guys and be good guys by themselves, there is another advantage to letting the generals, the marquises and the two thousand stones discuss together: those who Liu Bingyi really want to consult will also participate.

For example, the Xi'an Marquis Ren Hong who had just returned to Chang'an from the east, and Su Wu, the Dian vassal state, were all people who were not easy for Liu Bingye to meet in private. Ren Hong was also very careful and tried not to submit memorials. Anyway, he would probably be sent to the Empress Dowager after attending the ceremony, and Liu Bingye might not be able to see it.

But when they were discussing together, they could speak freely, which would make Liu Bing know his attitude.

It was a big deal to convict the four princes and kings at one time. Although the emperor still refused to participate in the mourning and only asked Huo Guang to preside over the presidency. Almost all the three dukes and nine ministers and lords participated. A total of forty-three people discussed the matter in the front hall, which was comparable to the scene when Liu He was deposed.

Tian Yannian had already investigated the crimes of the four kings clearly, and there was no big difference, and a consensus was quickly reached.

"The King of Guangchuan went against the evil, and after hearing the slander, Zhao believed the slander, burned the slander, cut off the people, and killed his father and son. He killed sixteen innocent people, and three mothers and sons in a family, and they were deviated from the truth, and they should be killed to show the public! The country of Guangchuan was eliminated!"

The other few people were guilty of a lighter crime. Liu Zhonggu, the king of Zichuan, made his slaves commit adultery with their eight sons and concubines. He watched on the side, and even imitated the perverted nature of Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, and let the dogs and horses participate. Therefore, he also convicted the crime of Liu Jian, a beast, disrupted the difference between the king and the ministers and the couple, and defied human ethics, and convicted the crime of abandoning the market and eliminating the country.

Compared to him, the fact that when the King of Qinghe, Liu Nian, had a baby with his sister, was considered a traitor and a little evil, but was reported by Liu Nian's younger brother. He was punished for the crime of disobedience of human relations. The officials asked to be punished and the country was eliminated.

Finally, Liu Jiande, the King of Changsha who burned the houses to enjoy the fun of burning the people, decided to abolish his throne and moved to Fangling.

But at this time, the Xi'an Hou Renhong, who agreed throughout the process, made a strange suggestion.

"Yao and Shun exiled their flesh and blood, and Duke Zhou killed Guan Cai, and the world was called a saint. Who? Do not harm the public for personal gain. In the past, Uncle Cai and Uncle Guan were rumored to the country, and they conspired to rebel with Wu Geng and slandered Duke Zhou. Duke Zhou and Prince Cheng imprisoned Guo Nei moved to a distance and refused to pardon until their death. However, they retained the State of Cai and granted the son of Cai Zhong."

"During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, King Li of Huainan, Liu Chang, was rebelled and moved away to commit suicide. Emperor Xiaowen pity his brothers' love and made his three sons: Liu An was the King of Huainan, Liu Bo was the King of Hengshan, and Liu Ci was the King of Lujiang, and they all got the land of King Li, which was three more."

"Now, the King of Qinghe Liu Nian should be punished if he is guilty, and he will be killed. However, Hong thought that his brother took the initiative to report Liu Nian's crimes, and Qinghe Country should not be punished with his clan."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at each other.

When Emperor Wen of Han forced Liu Chang to death, it was speculated by the people that he was greedy for the land of Huainan. However, this time, smart people knew that the general Hotan Yannian was greedy for the wealth and land of the land of the princes, and wanted to reduce the expenses of supporting the princes and fill it into the treasury.

Except for the bad land in Changsha, the court looked down on it, the other Qinghe, Guangchuan and Zichuan are all fertile lands, with tens of millions of taxes every year, and the court is bound to win.

They didn't believe that with the Xi'an Hou Zhihui, he could not see the general's purpose, and he insisted on keeping the Qinghe Kingdom.

Tian Yannian took the lead in fighting the problem, but Ren Hong smiled and said to Huo Guang:

"The Great Honglu misunderstood what I mean. The Guoqi and the throne can be retained, but they may not be sealed in Qinghe."

This is the re-election. There are precedents for similar operations in the Han Dynasty. Liu Bo, the eldest son of King Li of Huainan, was originally named King of Hengshan. After the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Xiaojing moved Liu Bo to Jibei.

However, Liu Zhi, the King of Jibei who participated in the rebellion, miraculously with the assistance of Gongsun Ze, a master of Qi, left the back door of King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu, and was exempted from death. He was renamed the King of Zichuan. However, now that Liu Zhonggu is out, this country may not be able to be passed on.

Huo Guang was also surprised that Ren Hong had some new ideas and asked: "Where should the title be changed according to the views of the Marquis of Xi'an?"

In addition to secretly reminding Liu Bingyi, the reason why Ren Hong suddenly became a good person in charge of Qinghe Kingdom was not only to secretly remind Liu Bingyi, but also to have another purpose.

The matter of increasing yield per mu has already started in Xi'an Marquis State, and immigration and colonial expansion should be put on the agenda, but this is a good opportunity.

A long voyage to America? Entering Southeast Asia? No, the "New World" that the Han Dynasty needs to develop the most is not tens of thousands of miles away, or even on the Sanhan Japanese island, but at the foot of the empire.
