"King!!!"

The ministers bowed before Liu Chang, looking frightened.

"The king has not yet ascended the throne, so why did he start building the imperial mausoleum?"

"What's more, it is still being built in Hexi. Hexi is far away. How can it be completed?"

During the court meeting, when they heard that Liu Chang wanted to build the imperial mausoleum in Hexi, the officials could not sit still. Building the imperial mausoleum itself was no problem, but building it in Hexi was a big problem. Just transporting materials would cost a lot of money.

It's huge, and looking at the king's posture, this imperial mausoleum is probably on par with King Qin. Doesn't this mean the destruction of the Han Dynasty?

"Does your Majesty want to destroy this big man?"

"Your Majesty, you are so aggressive in your military affairs! You have almost no food in the treasury, and now you have to use the people's power to build an imperial mausoleum for yourself? Does your Majesty, by abusing the people's power, worry that the Han Dynasty will not be destroyed? The lesson of Qin's demise is right in front of you, and your Majesty must learn from it.

As a warning, you can’t abuse people’s power like this!”

When Liu Chang heard this, he immediately looked at Liu Jing who was standing aside.

Liu Jing stood up and said seriously: "The construction is not about to start immediately. This is just to prepare for the construction of the imperial mausoleum. First build a few cities and prepare some materials and manpower... I will be responsible for this matter

, you don’t have to worry.”

"It turns out it's you, the traitor!"

Zhou Chang looked at Liu Jing angrily and cursed: "You... you... you are a traitor! It turns out you are here to bewitch the king!"

Zhou Chang stood up immediately and rushed towards Liu Jing. Fortunately, Zhang Buyi blocked him in time. Zhang Buyi had a straight face and reprimanded seriously: "How could you be so rude before, Your Majesty?!"

"

"One** thief! One** thief!"

Zhou Chang cursed, but Liu Jing was indifferent. He said calmly: "This is the old system. Emperor Gao used to do this too, so why not?"

"Emperor Gao did not build the imperial mausoleum that far away! Nor did he abuse the power of the people!"

"It doesn't exist now... It's the emperor's mausoleum, which is a blessing to the world."

Liu Jing didn't care about these ministers at all, and said seriously: "I have made preparations. I will issue an edict immediately, ordering the virtuous people in the world to go to Hexi to build cities and prepare to build an imperial mausoleum for the king... Let them come

Guarding the imperial mausoleum is the greatest gift."

As soon as Liu Jing said these words, everyone knew that he was going to kill the pig again.

I don’t know why, Liu Jing always had trouble with those big families, so he tried to punish these old nobles and new powerful people to death. They said it was a gift, but in fact it was just confiscating their homes, moving them to the edge of the imperial mausoleum, letting them settle here, and making them completely

Having lost his local control and financial resources, Liu Jing is probably the most hated minister among the wealthy families in the world.

In the eyes of everyone, Liu Jing, who lacks great virtue, does not give local powerful people any way to survive. Every once in a while, he will relocate a group of powerful people, which is said to be a gift. When a group of local powerful people appear, they will be harvested.

Batch, this made the life of the powerful in the early Western Han Dynasty extremely miserable... Until a certain emperor who did not want to reveal his name and did not love the world and loved eunuchs abolished this system. The local powerful gradually became stronger, and then gradually became the one in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ghostly.

"Lou Jing! You villain, when we started the foreign war, you opposed everything, proposed marriage, and loved Mao Dun so much. Why are you so harsh on the Han people?!"

"Haha... Harsh? This is a gift... Only with this kind of gift can people live a good life."

The officials were furious and objected one after another.

Liu Chang squinted his eyes. He had already realized that something was wrong. When his father wanted to implement this policy, these people were very supportive and even helped to enslave the rich. How come they don't agree now?

It's simple...because they are a wealthy family now.

The heirs, relatives, and even servants of the founding heroes all had strong local influence. The heroes who followed Emperor Gao to put an end to evil in the world were gradually moving in the direction of evil.

.

Liu Chang looked at Chen Ping with a smile, "What do Chen Hou think?"

Chen Ping never expected that the king would push him out when Liu Jing took the blame. However, he could understand what the king meant. The ministers were not afraid of Liu Jing.

Sure enough, when Liu Chang asked Chen Ping, the officials immediately became quiet and looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping squinted his eyes and said seriously: "If the king wants to build the imperial mausoleum now, the court has no savings, but if the king just makes preparations and wants to build it later, then there will be no problem... Zhou

Prime Minister, the land west of Hexi is a treasured land, and it would be perfect to build the imperial mausoleum here, right?"

Zhou Chang was stunned and wanted to curse a few words, but suddenly he remembered something and suddenly realized.

"What Chen Hou said makes sense."

"If it's just a preparation, that's not bad..."

Chen Ping's reminder made Zhou Chang understand immediately that building the imperial mausoleum was just an excuse. The purpose was to enrich the population in Hexi. If he wanted to enrich the local population, he naturally could not force migration. What would be the consequences of forced migration? Qin State was already very good.

explained once.

Zhou Chang did not have the courage to build the imperial mausoleum, but he had the courage to build the imperial mausoleum to move powerful people and enrich Hexi. Zhou Chang had the courage, and it was very big.

Zhou Chang's thinking was obviously at a lower level than Chen Ping's. When Chen Ping kicked the pot to him, Zhou Chang took it unprepared.

"Your Majesty, as long as you don't abuse the power of the people..."

Liu Jing then said: "I have never abused people's power in the past few times..."

The ministers were dumbfounded as they watched Zhou Chang fall to Liu Jing, and began to admonish him again.

Liu Chang was angry.

"My husband, King Zhao, has no merits. He is incompetent in literature and military. He is mediocre and achieves nothing. I am ashamed of my father. Yet he still dares to build a mausoleum for himself in Handan. He can rule the world and defeat the Xiongnu. How can he not prepare an emperor for himself?"

Tomb?"

"Anyone who dares to dissuade us will be sent to Hexi to build a tomb for me!"

Liu Chang made a decision, but no matter how unconvinced the officials were, they did not dare to dissuade him. In the end, they could only leave dejectedly, but Liu Chang only stayed with Liu Jing.

"Father Zhong...you don't have to pay attention to these people, just follow your own ideas...it's up to you to decide the list of places...you still have experience in this aspect."

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Liu Jing asked again: "Your Majesty...then what should your imperial mausoleum be named?"

"I have already thought about it! Let's call it Bang Ling!"

Liu Jing looked at Liu Chang in surprise, "Your Majesty, if you want to avoid taboos for Emperor Gao... you can't choose this name."

"Fart! My father's mausoleum can be called Changling, but mine can't be called Bangling?"

"How can there be such injustice in the world?"

Even the unsmiling Liu Jing was shaking his head and smiling bitterly at Liu Chang's words, "Your Majesty... Emperor Gao is the father and you are the son, how can this be compared..."

"Oh, then my name is An Ling."

Liu Jing finally chuckled, "Okay, since the king has decided, let's call him An Ling."

Liu Chang looked at Liu Jing next to him and felt like he had gotten to know him again. In the past, Liu Chang really hated this guy because he always opposed his expedition and talked about marriage with shamelessness. It was really annoying.

He was disgusted. Later, he changed his mind about Liu Jing, but he was still disgusted. Until now, he felt that although the person in front of him was a little timid, he was still a good person.

"I see that you don't have the slightest fear in the face of the attack by the ministers today. Why were you so opposed to going out to fight in the past?"

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something... I am a garrison soldier."

"Um?"

"I am a native of Louyi, Qi State. My family is poor, I have no way to make a living, and I have been bullied all the time... The elders of my clan taught me books, but later because of my poverty, I was driven away by others..."

Liu Jing talked about the past seriously, while Liu Chang sat aside obediently and listened carefully to him telling his story.

"Few people know the suffering of the garrison soldiers... After several battles, all the fellow villagers died in the battle. When I returned home, my parents had already passed away..."

"I can understand the suffering of soldiers...but sometimes the battle cannot be fought without fighting."

"Yes... but fighting a war also depends on the domestic situation... If there is no food, no war horses, and no ordnance, and we send troops to fight out of anger, how many lives will this cost?"

"Many of the generals in the court just want to get the title... Even if the big man is crippled, they won't care... My king, you don't know... During the time of Emperor Gao, the big man had no strength at all.

Fighting against the Xiongnu...making a marriage alliance is a last resort and must be done...If not, the people at the border will suffer, the soldiers will suffer, and the world will be in danger."

Liu Chang stroked his chin, "Actually, I know... When I was very young, I traveled around the world with my mother. I know what the world was like at that time."

Liu Jing said disdainfully: "Local wealthy families mostly started by plundering the wealth of their fellow villagers. They became extravagant and never cared about the life and death of others...annexing land, monopolizing books, feeding the people, colluding with officials, and fooling the king are really...

A great harm to the world!"

Liu Chang had never suffered from the garrison, nor had he been bullied by a wealthy family.

But he could understand Liu Jing's thoughts very well, because he had seen the people who were bullied by the Si family in Qi State. He pondered for a moment and said: "Father Zhong is right, but since Father Zhong knows not to be angry or angry,

As for the principles of fighting, you should also know the principles of not governing based on joy and anger... I hope Father Zhong will investigate carefully and not implicate innocent people."

"only!"

Liu Jing immediately said: "It's just a pain to your Majesty that your Majesty has revoked this order and forbids me to mention it. Now that your Majesty has re-implemented it, I'm afraid that the people of the world will criticize your Majesty even more."

"My brother is kind-hearted, he is kind to everyone, and he is unwilling to force others to leave their homeland... I am not a bad person, but if we don't move them away, I don't know how many people will starve because of them... If the people of the world criticize,

Then let them criticize you!"

"Anyway, I don't dare to criticize you in front of me... I don't have to worry about carrying my bad reputation anymore."
