Chapter 124 Light and Plow
Luoyang.
Today the emperor was originally in the West Garden, handling government affairs.
However, Zhang Rang brought an urgent report from Bingzhou, which was eight hundred miles away, which made the emperor, who was originally just busy handling government affairs, break out in a cold sweat.
Not for anything else, just because Bingzhou has his own younger brother.
Besides, the [-]-mile expedited mission was a big deal, but Liu Han’s good news was only the [-]-mile expedited mission.
"Bring it up quickly!"
Liu Hong was very anxious. When he got the bamboo slips, he was still muttering: "Could it be that the Xianbei people went south again? Impossible. If so, what Han'er sent should be a good news. Could it be that something happened to Han'er?"
Thinking of this, Liu Hong unfolded the bamboo slips. Inside were Liu Han's memorials and a piece of silk with pictures.
Liu Hong would not be careless and read it carefully.
"Good! Good!"
After reading Liu Han's memorial, Liu Hong not only breathed a sigh of relief, but was also extremely excited. His imperial brother actually gave him such a great gift! Unfold the drawing and look at it carefully, "Light and Plow. Light and Plow. What a good name! What a good name!"
The more Liu Hong watched it, the more he liked it. This is a good thing that will benefit the present generation and future generations! As an emperor, many things have come to an end and there is no room for improvement.
Wealth, power, he doesn't lack any of these.
But reputation, especially posthumous reputation, is valued by the emperor more than anyone else! Therefore, Liu Hong asked Cai Yong to carve the "Xiping Stone Classic" in Dongguan Academy for the sake of his little posthumous reputation.
Liu Hong just smiled at the ministers' flattery and flattery, and didn't take it seriously, because he knew that hearing these words was enough.
But this time it was different. The light and plow designed by his brother were real things. If these things were popularized on a large scale in the Han Dynasty, as long as someone used these things for thousands of years, they would remember him.
Although the Great Wall, Lingqu, and Dujiangyan are all products of the previous dynasty, they are all remembered by the world and can tell the world that they have been there. Apart from a few words in history books, these are the only things that can be passed down through the ages to benefit the country and the people. things.
And Liu Hong saw the hope of lasting fame from light and plow.
Then, looking at the drawing in his hand, he smiled bitterly again, feeling heavy, "Han'er, what a good thing it is. Think of me."
Since becoming emperor, although the brotherhood exists, it has also changed. It has been mixed with too many other things, such as interests.
When Liu Hong asked his 14-year-old brother to go to Bingzhou, was he really not selfish?
Not necessarily.
What kind of emperor he is, he knows better than anyone else.
At first, the purpose of sending his younger brother to Bingzhou was to strengthen the clan's position in the court and consolidate the imperial power. However, this younger brother really worked hard, so hard that he was shocked and even started to feel afraid.
Although his achievements are not as good as those of Wei Huo, he has made great contributions to the battles that brought peace to Bingzhou for at least ten years and saved himself a lot of military expenses.
If he hadn't been his biological brother, Liu Hong would have tried every means to seize the general power with just one hundred thousand elites in his hands.
However, over the years, his younger brother has not changed at all. In his heart, family love is more important than anything else. No matter what he does, he always thinks of himself.
Who wouldn't be tempted by the opportunity to be remembered forever? However, he still gave himself this opportunity without hesitation.
"Oh, it's urgent at [-] miles. No wonder it's urgent at [-] miles."
Liu Hong knew that the emperor's brother was careful.
"Zhang Rang, do you think I am too harsh on the emperor's younger brother?" Listening to the emperor's guilty tone, Zhang Rang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, you should have high demands on the King of Hejian. If not With your teachings, how could the King of Hejian achieve such success?"
Zhang Rang's words successfully made Liu Hong feel better, "Go, bring the drawings and tell He Jin that this winter, all the craftsmen under the Jiangzuo Mansion will be used to make lights and plows. Next spring, I hope to make ten All things."
"Here."
# Luoyang exploded again because of an imperial edict from the emperor.
The King of Hejian, who was far away in Bingzhou, quietly made another big move, but it was different from the past. This time Liu Han received all praises, not a single slander or scolding.
For no other reason than to improve plows for him and bring hope to the lives of Han farmers.
Suddenly, someone was carrying the sedan chair.
The three words "light and plow" spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
Needless to say, this incident will definitely leave a mark in the history books.
Only then did the nobles who couldn't deal with Liu Han wake up. King Hejian had shown so much murderousness in the past two years that people forgot that in addition to being a general, he was also the most proud disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan. In Confucianism, The status is not lower than others at all.
Although Zheng Xuan was not a great scholar like the [-] families who inherited the Five Classics, he was also a well-known man.
A few simple operations successfully washed away the dirty water that was thrown on his body. Not only that, if anyone dared to stand up and say anything wrong about him at this time, he would be scorned by the whole world.
These are not the most uncomfortable things. The most uncomfortable thing for them is that how harshly they scolded Liu Han before, but now they slap him in the face so quickly that they lose their face.
If you praise now and then curse later, it will be like going back on your word, losing face and dignity.
Therefore, they can only keep silent, but in this way, they are despised by the world.
Inside and out are not people.
"Another conspiracy!"
The head of the Yuan family, Yuan Wei, gritted his teeth. The King of Hejian had only one way to deal with the nobles, and he had a conspiracy that made people helpless.
In the past, when facing the king, the nobles could always uphold justice and stand on the moral high ground, constantly encroaching on the power in the hands of the emperor, and now they were only collaborators in the name of the king and his ministers.
Now, the King of Hejian used the same method to deal with him. This unspeakable aggrievedness made Yuan Wei itchy with hatred in his heart, "Tell the people below to continue to provide help to Zhang Jiao!"
# Bingzhou Taiyuan County, Jinyang Governor's Office.
The angel arrived again. This time, in addition to bringing an imperial decree commending Emperor Liu Hong, he also brought a letter of appointment, "Grand Governor of Zhenbei?"
Emperor Liu Hong dismissed Liu Han from his post as governor of Peking University and made a new appointment.
Looking at the meaning of the imperial edict, the authority of this appointment is not small. If the foreign tribes from the north invade and war breaks out, Liu Han does not need to apply to the court and can directly mobilize the military of You and the two states to fight against the foreign tribes.
This means that during wartime, Liu Han alone was the top military leader of You and Bing states.
Liu Han was a little confused, "What kind of medicine is sold in Brother Huang's gourd?"
Is this because you think your burden is not heavy enough and you need to add more?
"I'm not an adult yet, and I haven't been crowned. If you let a minor do illegal work for you like this, won't your conscience hurt?"
Liu Han smiled bitterly in his heart.
Moreover, since the governor is now in control of the military and political affairs, would the other party be willing to take away power from the other party during the war? (End of this chapter)
