At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 1427

The result of this is that when Liu Jian secretly ghs in private, no one reported it, and no one noticed it, which made Liu Jian happy for more than half a month, and eventually became a romantic ghost.

The so-called ghost under the peony flower is also a romantic, Liu Jian is a romantic ghost who has truly implemented this sentence.

Liu Jian is romantic, but he is Shanyang Gong, an important political bonsai of the Wei Empire, he is dead, but the living person is responsible for the rotten ass.

The news of Liu Jian's death was temporarily blocked by Qin Chong. There was no rumor, and everyone was silent. The news was sent to Luoyang as quickly as possible to let Guo Jin know.

Thousands of exhortations and ten thousand exhortations, the last thing that should not have happened still happened.

Liu Jian actually died directly on the woman's body.

Guo Jin was stunned for a while, and then became annoyed and angry. He ordered the matter to be thoroughly investigated. No one in the Sanyang Mansion was allowed to leave until the problem was clarified.

This is a big matter, and he can't leave it to others hastily. If the news is leaked in advance, it will cause a lot of discussion among the officials in the capital, and it will have a huge blow to his reputation, especially at the critical moment when this clean government storm is in progress.

After thinking about it, I feel that such a matter must be handled by my own people to be at ease, and the best among my people is undoubtedly Guo Jia.

So Guo Jin privately summoned Guo Jia, an important official of the clan, and asked Guo Jia to take a trip to Shanyang Kingdom to preside over the overall situation.

"What? Duke Shanyang is dead?"

Guo Jia, who had become deep and introverted since the political crisis, couldn't maintain the deep and introverted face of such a sudden change, and directly screamed.

Then he quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Yeah, dead, dead on a woman, damn it!"

Guo Jin clenched her fists, her face livid.

Guo Jia's complexion is also not good.

"This matter is neither big nor small. Now our Wei rule has been stabilized, all people in the world have recognized Wei's governance, and the hearts of the people no longer belong to the former Han. This is the greatest achievement of the Supreme Emperor.

However, Duke Shanyang was the abolished emperor of the former Han Dynasty, one of the three pillars established by our court, and the most important one. He is a symbol of our Wei Zhengtong. "

Guo Jia briefly discussed his views.

Guo Jin feels that this matter needs to be taken seriously and discuss a solution in detail, otherwise it will be a big blow to his political prestige.

After the establishment of the Wei Empire, in addition to granting Liu Jian the Duke of Shanyang, he also recognized the duchies of Song and Wei established by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty.

The monarchs of Song and Wei are said to be the second queens established by Emperor Guangwu after Yin, Shang and Zong Zhou.

Anyway, it is not sure whether it is Guo Peng, Guo Jin doesn't care, and raises two families as mascots anyway.

Generally speaking, after the establishment of a new empire, granting courtesies to the former and later generations is a symbol of orthodoxy, a symbol of the country's righteousness, and the monarch has no selfishness, which is a benevolent and righteous approach.

The descendants of the first two dynasties are called the second queen, and the descendants of the first three dynasties are called San Ke.

Liu Xiu did not pursue the descendants of the Qin Dynasty, but the descendants of Yin Shang and Zong Zhou to show orthodoxy.

When Guo Peng succeeded to the throne, in addition to granting Liu Jian the title, he also inherited Liu Xiu's title, and recognized the existence of the two countries of Song and Wei.

The monarchs of the Song and Wei duchies entered the Wei state from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were all relatively honest.

Especially under the hands of Guo Peng, the "tyrannical king", he was even more trembling, not daring to go beyond the slightest, thinking that his status was all given by Guo Peng.

So they are still more affirmed by Guo Peng.

Liu Jian is different. With Guo Peng's promise and protection, he is more rebellious. In addition, Guo Peng has always been very generous to him and spoiled him intentionally or unintentionally. That's how he is.

Guo Jin also had no choice but to entrust this matter to Guo Jia, let Guo Jia use his wisdom to help him solve this matter, and don't let this matter become a big one and get out of control.

"This is a serious matter. Please handle it carefully, minimize the impact, and then take good care of his son. Don't let any more accidents happen."

Guo Jia nodded in approval, indicating that he understood.

Liu Jian messed around, and after more than ten years of hard work, he indeed produced eight sons, but most of them died, and only one survived to this day, only four years old.

Liu Jian himself is heartless and doesn't care about this matter. He is just as promiscuous with or without children, he doesn't care at all.

But in the eyes of those who care, none of Guo Peng's ten children died, and all of them grew up as if they were hanging out. Your Liu Jian's eight sons died and seven of them died. This is the general trend of the world.

Therefore, this matter was cited by interested people as evidence of the rationality of the Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.

Right now, this child is Liu Jian's only blood and blood, the only heir to the royal family of the Han Dynasty.

If anything happens to him, Guo Jin will have to choose a new Duke of Shanyang from among the Han clan clans all over the world.

How much trouble.

Guo Jin still had a lot of things to do, and he really didn't want to be distracted. Guo Jia also understood what Guo Jin meant, so he went to Shanyang Kingdom night and night.

After arriving in Shanyang Kingdom, Guo Jia interrogated the matter as an envoy with full powers, and after thinking about it, he made an accurate judgment.

Of course, the main responsibility lies with Liu Jian himself.

His own will is not firm, and he cannot control his desires, leading to death, and the responsibility is mainly on him.

But the people around him should persuade him, or simply report the matter to the Prime Minister of Shanyang to attract his attention, so that Liu Jian's life can be saved.

But they didn't do this, instead they helped the tyrant and obeyed his request, so that he died in vain and caused great trouble, so all five of his trusted servants were sentenced to beheaded by Guo Jia.

A group of 23 servants around the cronies who helped the evildoers were all responsible for twenty, and they were sent to the construction site of the Grand Canal to do coolies for three years before they could be pardoned.

The seven warlocks who made alchemy and harmed people's hearts have been taken to Luoyang for torture and interrogation. The next step is to beheaded, so there will be no other punishment here, but all their property will be confiscated, and all their family members will be treated as coolies and taken to the construction site of the Grand Canal Hand it over to Yousi for use.

Liu Jian's main wife is mainly raising children, there is nothing wrong with her, and she will not be dealt with.

To raise the children carefully, raise the children to grow up to inherit the title of Duke of Sanyang, and the treatment remains the same as before, and they can still live in the Duke of Sanyang.

Qin Chong, the prime minister of Shanyang, was charged with the mission of teaching, persuading, and restricting Liu Jian's reckless behavior, but he failed to do so. He was seriously negligent and found guilty.

The medical officer stationed in the government was charged with the mission of treating, persuading, and restricting Liu Jian's reckless behavior. There were cases of dereliction of duty, but considering his humble status and sincerity, he did not punish him.

Liu Jian's 64 concubines, including Rou Rou, the concubine who made Liu Jian die on his belly, Guo Jia decided not to pursue responsibility because of his status as a concubine.

Except for the seven concubines who had sex with Liu Jian before, they had to stay and observe for a while to determine whether they were pregnant, and the rest of them confiscated all Shanyang Gong's income, paid a certain amount of severance pay, and then immediately sent home to find another way of life.

Regarding Guo Jia's treatment, some people raised objections, and felt that the seven concubines should be beheaded, or at least the demon girl named Rou Rou should be beheaded as well, so as to warn others and prevent her from disturbing people's hearts.

Guo Jia let out a long sigh and shook his head.

"Her identity is just a concubine. Lord Shanyang asks for anything from her. Can she resist? The power of life and death is in the hands of others. Can she have her own will? It's just a tact, how many are you?" No concubines? Can they resist you?"

After hearing the words, everyone kept silent, acquiescing to Guo Jia's handling method.

So the matter was settled like this.

But the next problem is how to announce the cause of Liu Jian's death.

Liu Jian died on a woman's belly. If an ordinary person said it, it would even be enviable, and people would think that this guy was a ghost.

But the one who died now was Lord Shanyang, the former emperor. He died on a woman's belly, and it would be a scandal to say it out.

It doesn't matter if it's in the public, anyway, it's a topic of death of a person or star, and there's a lot of discussion among the people, so it's nothing.

I'm afraid that all the bureaucrats who have lived from the Han Dynasty to the present will feel fear and uneasiness due to the frequent discussions of official politicians and the deliberate guidance of people with good intentions. That's not good.

And out of a certain respect for the previous dynasty, the abdicated emperor died, and it was better to give him a little face-although Liu Jian's jokes had already been circulated throughout the Wei Kingdom.

In any case, it cannot be said that Liu Jian died on the belly of a woman, but another way of saying it.

After much deliberation, everyone finally came to Shanyang Mansion to make a suggestion to Zhang Ji, who is now going to the funeral for Liu Jian's medical treatment.

"The Supreme Emperor hates pills very much. He said that pills are poisonous and will kill people. He also said that life, old age, sickness and death are natural governance. Immortality violates the cycle of heaven. The Supreme Emperor thinks it is impossible. Why don't we declare that Sanyang Gong died from pills?"

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang Ji.

He felt that what Zhang Ji said was reasonable.

Moreover, the matter of elixir is actually quite sensitive. Once it is released, it may cause a big debate among the people, and it is unknown whether the topic will be changed directly.

good idea.

Chapter 1587 One thousand five hundred and seven no one cares why Liu Jian died

Liu Jian's death is already a fact, undeniable, and must be announced to the public.

Once it is announced, it will inevitably cause some political disturbances, which Guo Jin knows well.

Therefore, Guo Jin's task for Guo Jia is to try his best to minimize this influence, so as not to affect his political prestige.

In particular, we should not allow those who are interested in connecting the clean government storm that Guo Jin is promoting with Liu Jian's death to generate any boring conspiracy theories.

For example, the emperor consciously wanted to purge the old officials of the former Han Dynasty and other conspiracy theories. When the time came, everyone in the former Han Dynasty would be in danger, and Guo Jin would be in a difficult situation.

This thing is really important.

Guo Jia was having a headache at first, but what Zhang Ji said made Guo Jia discover a new way to break the situation.

Elixir.

The debate on whether the elixir is harmful to the human body or whether it can make people live forever began a long time ago. After Guo Peng strongly banned the elixir, such debates have been going on in secret.

Some people think that the emperor is helping everyone, not to let everyone be poisoned to death by unnecessary poison.

Some people feel that the emperor is deceiving everyone, and he wants to live forever, so that everyone will not live forever together.

There are obviously more people who hold the latter view, and those who think the former view are entrusted by Guo Peng, are stupid and bad.

What emperors of all dynasties have been pursuing, why do you, Guo Zifeng, think this thing is poisonous?

All the emperors are wrong, everything they do is wrong, and you, Emperor Guo, are right, right?

I know that you, Emperor Guo, have great achievements, great prestige, and are invincible in the world, so what, no matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than God?

Why do you stop us from pursuing immortality?

People, once they are satisfied with food and clothing, they will want more things, and after more things are satisfied, they will have some more illusory ideas. In short, people's needs develop layer by layer.

So it is not incomprehensible that they want to pursue immortality.

Guo Peng has banned pills for more than ten years, and the folks have been circulating such a saying.

Although this kind of saying basically disappeared after ten years in Yande, with Guo Jin's accession to the throne, the theory of elixir has obviously revived among the people.

Those who supported Guo Peng didn't really think that the elixir was poisonous, but thought that doing so would win the favor of the emperor, and they could gain political benefits by standing on the emperor's side. They didn't think that the emperor was really right.

So the debate between the two factions has been going on in secret.

As for whether the elixir is poisonous, Guo Jia once asked Guo Peng, and Guo Peng made it clear that he thought it might not be poisonous or harmful, depending on what the sorcerers used to make it.

They don't add those strange minerals to it, maybe it is not poisonous, but once they add strange minerals to it and let people eat it, people will [chronic poisoning].

Guo Jia didn't quite understand this term. Guo Peng explained that nothing is necessarily fatal, even if it is a highly toxic drug, as long as the dose is not enough, it cannot kill a person.

The so-called chronic poisoning refers to poisons that are not very toxic. If there is only a little bit in the human body, nothing may happen.

But if you continue to ingest these toxins and let the toxins slowly accumulate to a critical point, the human body will have problems.

Guo Peng took out some ancient books and pointed out some weird records in them, saying that those people who died of strange and strange causes probably died of chronic poisoning.

If you don't pay attention at the beginning, by the time the disease occurs, most of the poisoning is beyond cure.

Guo Jia didn't know why Guo Peng knew such things, but when he went back to study these ancient books carefully, he felt that what Guo Peng said might not be unreasonable.

But after all, there was no definite evidence. He asked the doctors of the Great Medical Center, and the doctors also said that they had never heard of it, and they didn't know how the emperor knew.

Guo Jia himself was skeptical, but when Zhang Ji made this suggestion, he keenly found a good time to shift the conflict.

Using the theory of elixir to divert conflicts, let someone with a heart guide them, and shift the focus of people's attention from Liu Jian's death to whether the elixir is poisonous or harmful. Fishing in troubled waters can meet Guo Jin's needs.

Guo Jia gradually had an idea in his heart.

"This is true. The Supreme Emperor hates the theory of elixir, and believes that immortality will only disturb people's hearts, and it is impossible to exist. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden for the court and the people to refine elixir for longevity. Now it happens that Duke Shanyang is injured because of taking elixir. , It is not entirely unreasonable to say that he died here."

Everyone nodded.

Guo Jia further thought that such an announcement would not only protect the last bit of face of the Han Dynasty, but also meet Guo Jin's needs, and also conform to Guo Peng's preferences, publicizing the dangers of a wave of pills to the public.

Using Liu Jian's death to lead the public to start a big discussion on the dangers of pills, so that the eyes can be diverted to the maximum extent, and Guo Peng can be flattered from the air.

Guo Jia immediately put on the watch and sent it to Luoyang quickly. In a little more than two days, Guo Jin saw Guo Jia's watch.

It happened that he was also worried about such a situation, worried that one wave of unrest would come up again, and now Guo Jia put forward an idea, and he was satisfied with Guo Jia's handling, and personally wrote instructions to do so.

Then let Guo Jia go back to Beijing to contact Chen Lin, the imperial pen of the Supreme Emperor, and prepare to start a wave of successful public opinion guidance.

Guo Jia's mind coupled with Chen Lin's literary talent, the combination of two swords is unparalleled in the world.

In the second ten days of September of the second year of Xingyuan, with the gradual calming of the clean government storm and the establishment of the prestige of Emperor Guo Jin, at the moment when the economic crisis in the Northwest gradually stabilized, the news of the death of Shanyang Lord Liu Jian spread all over the streets and alleys of Luoyang City .
