Han Shizu

The emperor Liu Yang was still very diligent. He worked even harder than he did when he was the prince. He stayed up late and ate all day, which can be seen from the time he got up every day. Many civil servants in the court praised him, saying that his majesty has the style of his ancestors, and wrote: Poems and poems were written to describe and praise this incident.

Because of overthinking, Liu Yang left the bed earlier than usual today. Before Yin Shi passed, he had not wiped the shit out of his eyes when he heard the news that Luoyang Prefect Song's White House was waiting for an edict.

Liu Yang thought of many things at that time and called for him. However, after hearing Song Bai's report in person about the excitement that happened in Luoyang Mansion last night, he still couldn't help but be angry.If he hadn't managed his emotions well, he might have cursed him on the spot.

Is Liu Ye's brain filled with water, or is his heart filled with lard? How could he be such a bastard? He was imprisoned for a rich man, without any regard for royal etiquette and the dignity of the heavenly family. Even Liu Shu, the ninth old man, was not so ignorant. .
Is Liu Ye's move putting pressure on the Luoyang Mansion, the imperial court, or a slap in the face of his imperial brother?What is the intention of making such a fuss over such a trivial matter to embarrass the new emperor?

Countless thoughts mixed with anger and suspicion swirled in Liu Yang's mind, but in the end he suppressed the impulsive emotion. For a long time, he raised his slightly stiff face and stared at the nervous Song Bai, coldly. Asked: "You just let him do whatever he wants?"

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best to stop and persuade him, but Duke Liang doesn't listen. I am really helpless," Song Bai lamented.

"There is nothing you can do?" Liu Yang chuckled twice: "Have you ever thought about why my thirteenth brother has to lose face and go to your Luoyang prison?"

Although the emperor's laughter was restrained, it was a bit scary for Song Bai. He suppressed the worry in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "Just because the judge Kou Zhun did not ask for instructions, he made his own decision and led the servants to charge him with murder. Arrest Zhou Xuan, the captain of Liang Gong Guard!"

"In other words, this is Kou Zhun's problem?" Liu Yang said.

Song Bai blurted out: "If Kou Zhun asks for instructions in advance, I will definitely stop Kou Zhun from doing whatever he wants!"

"Bastard!" Liu Yang finally cursed.

Song Bai heard this and took the opportunity to impeach: "Your Majesty, this bandit has always been domineering and uncontrollable in his actions. He only wants to do his own thing. His style cannot last forever and his actions cannot be corrected. Please—"

"I'm talking about you!" Liu Yang's voice immediately raised a few pitches and interrupted Song Bai: "That Zhou Falcon killed someone, is it true? Kou Zhun asked him to question the case, what doubts does it have?"

After hearing this, Song Bai knew that he seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't help but doubt in his heart. Could it be that His Majesty actually agreed with Kou Zhun's approach?How is this possible!
However, facing the emperor's reprimand, even though he was suspicious, Song Bai's body still instinctively knelt on the ground and worshiped: "I am guilty!"

Seeing this, Liu Yang said angrily: "Let's not mention other things for now, let me ask you! Do you, Luoyang Mansion, have the qualifications to detain the children of the Tian family? Do you, Luoyang Mansion, want to usurp the authority of Zongzheng Temple?"

Song Bai didn't know what the problem was. When the emperor pointed out the problem on the spot, he was completely panicked and explained eagerly: "Your Majesty clearly knows that I don't dare to do it! It's just that things happened suddenly. Liang Gong used his power to suppress others, and I also Unable to cope."

"Listening to your words, the problem and responsibility before and after this matter are not on you, but on others?" Liu Yang couldn't help but sneered.

Hearing this sarcasm, Song Bai was a little embarrassed. Although he really thought so in his heart and felt that it was an unreasonable disaster to involve him, he still had a look of shame on his face and bowed: "I dare not blame myself for my negligence. Abdicate yourself from the blame! I am ignorant and incompetent, and I beg your Majesty to reprimand me!"

"Of course you are incompetent!" This was probably the first time Liu Yang scolded a minister so mercilessly since he ascended the throne: "I can't restrain my subordinates before, and I can't control the situation later. What use do I need from you, the governor of Luoyang? For decoration?"

Facing the emperor's scolding, Song Bai's face was filled with shame. He was a scholar and sage, but his face was completely wiped out when he was scolded by him today.Without arguing, Song Bai bowed his head and bowed again: "I am foolish and ignorant, and my virtue is not worthy of my position. How dare you ask me to be removed from my position!"

Song Bai's tone was somewhat aggrieved, but after listening to his request, Liu Yang said mockingly: "This is the main reason why you came to see me this morning! Are you pushing the trouble to me? Ignorance beforehand, inaction during the matter, and nothing afterward. Incompetent, if there are ministers like you in the imperial court who are so irresponsible and perfunctory, how can the world be so clear?"

"I am ashamed and humiliated. Please forgive me and have no complaints!" Being so humiliated and ridiculed by the emperor, Song Bai's poor self-esteem was hurt and his old face turned red.If the previous apology was still a bit pretentious, now it was sincere. Today, word of the dispute between the emperor and his ministers in the palace has spread, and he no longer has the face to live in the temple and be among the sages.

Looking down at Song Bai, seeing his pitiful appearance, Liu Yang couldn't help but sigh, and finally let him go, waving his hands and saying, "That's all, you should step aside first and go back to Luoyang Mansion to wait for the imperial edict." "The guilty minister resigns!"

Who put this person in the position of Luoyang Fuyin in the first place?After the others retreated, Liu Yang couldn't help but think that he seemed to be the person chosen by the late emperor.Liu Yang had always trusted and even admired the late emperor's vision. However, now it seemed that no matter how wise he was, he would still be wrong.

Obviously, after this incident, Liu Yang was extremely dissatisfied with Song Bai.At the same time, I couldn't help but think of the former governor Song Zhun, both of whom had the same surname. How could there be such a huge difference between them being officials.

However, compared to Song Bai, the one who was more embarrassed for Liu Yang was obviously Liu Ye who caused this trouble.Of course, this incident was caused by Liu Ye. If he had not acted improperly, how could anyone have found an opportunity to criticize him? Otherwise, no matter how courageous Kou Zhun was, he would not have dared to do such a thing!

Perhaps because of Liu Ye's incident, Liu Yang canceled the small court meeting that day, and even canceled the normal political consultation.But at the same time, he successively summoned Zhao Wang Liu Fang, Shangshu Ling Lu Duan, Imperial City Envoy Wang Yue, and Minister of Personnel Murong Defeng who had not yet officially taken office.

Regardless of the cause or the process, the result is that "Lang Guogong was imprisoned" became a fact, and the impact of this incident on the Han Dynasty and the public could not be described as an uproar, and a large part of it was quickly transferred The attention of the courtiers made it another focal point in addition to the "confession of the country".

Both events involved princes and kings, so they were naturally linked together, which also highlighted that the current focus of the imperial court's central affairs was the matter of the kings enfeoffing their kingdoms.

A large number of officials who were originally worried about the "cost of feuding" changed their focus after the incident and turned their attention to Liu Ye.This is a very serious matter. To a certain extent, it is even easier and more suitable to make a fuss about than locking down the country.

Because of the former, with the "ancestral system" of Emperor Shizu, no matter how hard you try or how hard you challenge, it will be difficult to shake it in a short period of time, and the final result may only be some superficial adjustments.

The latter is completely different and has a more profound impact because it involves an extremely sensitive political issue, which is the "judicial immunity" that the royal family naturally possesses.

Regarding crimes committed by the royal family and clan, Emperor Shizu's legal provisions in this regard are somewhat vague and even rough. It is as simple as one stipulation that crimes committed by clan members should be dealt with by Zongzheng Temple, but Zongzheng Temple has a different system for how to deal with them.This is obviously a harm to the court's judicial authority. Politically correct concepts such as "princes who break the law are equally guilty as the common people" are completely abandoned in actual legal regulations.

Such two sets of methods will inevitably conflict over time. This is not the same as the independent system within the palace. After all, the palace rules have limitations. The scope is limited, but the rules are more detailed.

However, the clan issue directly involves the political and legal system. Anything he commits will infringe upon the normal administrative and judicial order of the Han Dynasty.In the past, the conflict was less obvious.

First, under the suppression of Emperor Shizu, whoever dares to commit crimes will be dealt with ruthlessly. Not only will they be whipped with whips, but they will also be beaten with boards, and they will also be imprisoned until death. Although they are not so harsh on Longzi Longsundi. ;
Secondly, in the early years, there were not too many members of the royal family, and the scope of their influence was limited. However, by the time of Emperor Shizu's later years, the number of members of the entire clan had already exploded. The Tian family alone was a big family, and it would only become more and more popular in the future. The more there are, and whether the management of Zongzheng Temple can truly cover all the royal family, whether it can strictly enforce the law, and whether its laws and regulations should be clearer.
With similar thoughts, the ministers who moved their positions began to discuss this matter and spoke enthusiastically, as if they were caring for the country and being loyal to the royal family.

In fact, even Emperor Liu Yang himself had some considerations. The management of the imperial clan must be restrained and cannot be allowed to spread. Otherwise, the reputation of the royal family will be ruined and the rule of the empire will be threatened.

However, the ministers' positive advice made Liu Yang have to wonder, where is his motive for being so enthusiastic?Do you want to limit the imperial power by depriving some members of the royal family of their judicial privileges?If so, that is absolutely not allowed.

However, the royal family management regulations also need to undergo certain reforms. Regarding this, Liu Yang really fell into a certain contradiction.However, one thing is that Liu Ye's incident can be regarded as an opportunity for rectification. Liu Yang's firmer idea is that he must not let those courtiers lead him by the nose.
Compared with the complicated and obscure trade-offs and struggles in the temple, the people of Luoyang just happily took advantage of "Liu Ye going to jail".As a ruled with little ability to resist, when facing the powerful, they often have nothing but humble and admirable views. However, the "psychology" of resisting authority is almost instinctive.

When the powerful and powerful lose their power, the most excited people are the poor people in Guizhou, who cannot thrive. If someone stands up to question and challenge authority, they can become "heroes" in their minds.In this matter, Kou Zhun became such a role, shouldering the hope of a certain section of the people to "resist authority."

There are many versions of rumors about this matter among the people. Kou Zhun is the absolute protagonist, and the most exaggerated version is this: Judge Kou is not afraid of the powerful, enforces the law impartially, and leads people to forcefully break into the Duke of Liang's mansion and kill people. The criminal Zhou Xun was captured and brought to justice. Later, Duke Liang was frightened by Judge Kou's selflessness and righteousness. Feeling worried and uneasy, he took the initiative to surrender to Luoyang Mansion.
When news like this reached Luoyang Mansion Prison, the complacent Liu Ye almost exploded on the spot!What kind of fools do you have to be to believe such rumors? But some people believe it, quite a few, and they believe it deeply...
