Chapter 239 (1/2)
Although the mother of empress he is in the world, she is of humble birth. Her elder brother, he Jin, is nothing but a butcher of pigs. She has become a queen from a daughter of common people. Naturally, her inferiority complex can be imagined.
Therefore, empress he naturally had a high demand for Liu Bian. She asked Liu Bian to be the first in every aspect. As a result, she left a lot of psychological shadows on the young Liu Bian.
When Liu Xie heard Liu Bian's words, he looked at Liu Bian and said solemnly: ”what's the meaning of the emperor's brother? It's the so-called Li Di to grow up. He is older than me and is the son of the queen. Naturally, he should inherit the crown prince's position.”
It's no wonder that Dong Zhuo dismissed Liu without saying a word and made Liu Xie emperor. This boy is really likable and eloquent.
Liu Ye smiles at them. Then he grabs their shoulders and solemnly says, ”you two should remember that being a prince is not necessarily a good thing. As a prince, you will become the son of heaven in the future. The emperor shoulders the responsibility of the people. He must be diligent for the government and work hard for the people. As the saying goes, ”the people are the most important, the state is the second, and the monarch is the least.”
Liu Bian's eyes flashed a different light. It was the first time he heard this saying. His mother told him that he must be a prince, but he didn't know why he wanted to be a prince. It turned out that being a prince was not only good for him
Liu Xie Ruo nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Liu Ye, and said solemnly, ”isn't the father emperor a good emperor?”
Liu Ye was stunned: ”who did you listen to?”
Liu Xie said: ”I heard from some teachers who usually give lectures to me that my father seems to be a bit of a politician...”
”There are many loopholes in your Majesty's Administration...” Liu Ye sighed slightly that the system of Chinese and foreign dynasties had been used in the dispute between imperial power and Prime Minister power since the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty. However, it became very serious in the Lingdi Dynasty, because he used twelve zhongchangshi in one breath, which is the so-called ”ten constant servants”
Thanks to the favor of the Emperor Ling, the ten Changshi embezzled and amassed wealth and framed Zhongliang, which aroused the anger of the eunuch group and the scholar group. After the death of Lingdi, the contradiction between the two sides broke out immediately. The general He Jin led his troops into the palace and was killed by the ten constant servants. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others led the troops to kill the eunuchs. He Jin followed Yuan Shao's advice and asked Dong Zhuo to enter the capital, which eventually led to the death of the eunuch great disorder under heaven.
Liu Xie pulled Liu Ye's wide sleeve: ”Uncle Huang, how do you think you can be a good emperor?”
Liu Bian on one side also looked at it with interest, as if to hear what the good emperor in the mouth of the famous general Huang Shu was like.
”For the monarch, we should take the common people as the most important thing, pay less taxes, pay less corvee, be close to virtuous officials, and be far away from villains. If you can do these four things, you will be a Ming Jun who is hard to see. ” Liu Ye sighed slightly that the people in ancient times not only had to pay taxes, but also adult men had to spend a few months a year on corvee to build various projects for the government. For example, hundreds of people, such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, were sent to build the Great Wall.
”Uncle Huang, xie'er remembers that if xie'er becomes an emperor in the future, he will do it according to these twelve characters.” Liu Xie took another look at Liu Bian and said with a smile, ”if the emperor is emperor, xie'er will urge him to accomplish these 12 points day and night.”
Liu Bian couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu Xie's words, but he nodded solemnly. Then he said in a low voice: ”emperor, uncle Huang, don't let this talk out today. If it is heard by others, it will be a great disaster.”
When Liu Ye hears this, he can't help but look at Liu Bian. He is surprised in his heart.
Liu Xie was young, but he was born intelligent. If he had been brought up properly, he would have become a Ming emperor in the future. Before he thought about it, Liu Bian, who was silent, had learned the truth that walls have ears. If Dong Zhuo had not forced Liu Bian to abandon him later, Liu Bian might have swept away the decadence of the Lingdi Dynasty and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xie nodded: ”brother, don't worry about Uncle Huang. Xie'er doesn't talk to anyone, nor does his mother.”
Liu Ye nods, grabs their hands and walks in the direction of Queen he and beauty Wang.
