Chapter 238 Childish Words Without Limitations

Although Empress He's mother is well-behaved, her background is rather humble. Her elder brother He Jin is just a butcher who butchers pigs. Empress He has grown from a commoner's daughter to a queen. Naturally, one can imagine the inferiority complex in her heart.

Therefore, Empress He naturally had very high requirements for Liu Bian, and she always asked Liu Bian to be the first, which left a lot of psychological shadows on the young Liu Bian.

After Liu Xie heard Liu Bian's words, he looked at Liu Bian and said solemnly: "What did the emperor say? It's the so-called establishment of a descendant, and the emperor is older than me, and he is the son of the queen. He should inherit the crown prince."

No wonder later Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Bian without saying a word, and made Liu Xie the emperor. This kid is really likable and can speak well.

Liu Ye smiled at the two, then grabbed the shoulders of the two, and said solemnly: "You two must remember that being a prince is not necessarily a good thing, because to be a prince is to be an emperor in the future, and the emperor shoulders the responsibility of all people. The responsibility of government must be to work diligently for the government and serve the people wholeheartedly. As the saying goes, the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least.”

A different brilliance flashed in Liu Bian's eyes. It was the first time he had heard this kind of statement. Usually, his mother told him that he must be a prince, but he had no idea why he wanted to be a prince. It turns out that being a prince is not only beneficial.

Liu Xie nodded thoughtfully, looked at Liu Ye again, and said solemnly: "Then father is not a good emperor?"

Liu Ye was taken aback: "Who did you listen to?"

Liu Xiedao: "I heard from several masters who usually give me lectures that my father seems to be a bit unscrupulous in politics."

"Your Majesty's administration does have a lot of loopholes," Liu Ye sighed slightly. Since the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the Chinese and foreign court systems have been used in disputes between imperial power and prime minister power, but it became very serious in the Lingdi Dynasty, because he activated it in one go. There are twelve regular servants, the so-called "Ten Permanent Attendants."

Relying on Emperor Ling's favor, Shi Changshi wantonly embezzled money and framed Zhongliang, which aroused the anger of the eunuch group and the scholar group, so that after the death of Emperor Ling, the conflict between the two sides broke out immediately, and the general He Jin led his troops into the palace. The palace was killed by ten servants, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others led troops to kill the eunuchs, and He Jin followed Yuan Shao's suggestion to invite Dong Zhuo to Beijing, which eventually led to chaos in the world.

Liu Xie tugged at Liu Ye's wide sleeves: "Uncle Emperor, how do you think you can be a good emperor?"

Liu Bian on the side also looked over with interest, as if he wanted to hear what the good emperor was like in the mouth of the famous general emperor.

"As a ruler, the people should be the most important thing. Taxes should be light, corvees should be light, virtuous officials should be respected, and people should be far away from villains. If you can achieve these four points, you will be a wise ruler that is rare to see." Liu Ye slightly sighed, the ancient people Not only do they have to pay taxes, but also adult men have to spend a few months every year on a regular basis to serve corvee and build various projects for the government. Hundreds of people, such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, were sent to build the Great Wall.

"Uncle Emperor, Xie'er remember that if Xie'er becomes emperor in the future, he will definitely act according to these twelve characters." Liu Xie glanced at Liu Bian again, and said with a smile: "If Brother Huang becomes emperor, Xie'er Just urge Brother Huang to do these twelve points day and night."

When Liu Bian heard Liu Xie's words, he couldn't help laughing, but he nodded solemnly, and then said in a low voice: "Emperor, uncle, don't reveal what you said today. A great disaster."

When Liu Ye heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Bian, secretly amazed in his heart.

Liu Xie was young but was born smart. If he is educated properly, he is very likely to become a wise king in the future. Before he realized it, the taciturn Liu Bian understood the truth that walls have ears at a young age. Debate can sweep away the decadence of the Lingdi dynasty and rejuvenate the great man.

Liu Xie nodded: "Brother Huang, don't worry Uncle Huang, Xie'er won't tell anyone, and neither will Mother."

Liu Ye nodded, grabbed the hands of the two, and walked in the direction of Empress He and Wang Meiren.

"Queen, beauty, I just had a few conversations with my two young nephews. The eldest son of the emperor is beautiful at heart, and Chen Liu Wang is smart and studious. Given time, he will become a master."

Empress He and Wang Meiren were a little happy when they heard Liu Ye praise their son, but they glared at each other.

"I will not bother the queen and the beauty, so I will leave."

"Inspector Liu, walk slowly, and get closer to Bian'er if you have the chance."

"Xie'er, why don't you say goodbye to Uncle Huang soon?"

After Liu Bian and Liu Xie said goodbye to Liu Ye, Liu Ye, Huang Fusong and Xun You walked out of the palace together.

Empress He snorted, grabbed Liu Bian's hand and walked back to the Phoenix Hall.

"Bian'er, what did Uncle Huang say to you today?" Empress He let go of Liu Bian's hand, sat opposite him, and asked softly.

"It's nothing, I just told the children some stories about the battle in Liangzhou, teaching the children to study hard and govern the country diligently in the future." Liu Bian spoke in a spring and autumn style, so naturally it was impossible to give Liu Ye the bad things about Lingdi. speak out.

"Govern the country diligently in the future?" Hearing these words, Empress He began to ponder: Is Liu Ye's words some kind of political hint? Did Liu Ye express his support for Liu Bian's fight for the crown prince?

"What else did Uncle Huang say, tell Queen Mother carefully." Empress He raised her voice.

Liu Bian frowned slightly: "Uncle Huang said that no matter whether the child or the brother-in-law ascends to the crown prince in the future, in the future, he must be close to virtuous officials, be far away from villains, lighten taxes, and lighten corvees. Only in this way can he be a wise king."

Empress He frowned when she heard this. It turned out that Liu Ye hadn't shown any obvious attitude towards the battle for the establishment of the crown prince. It seemed that he had to let his brother test it out.

"Tomorrow, I will let your uncle enter the palace, and then you and uncle will explain in detail what the emperor's uncle is saying, do you understand?"

"Yes." Liu Bian hated this very much in his heart, and he missed Liu Ye a little bit. He could guess what his mother was thinking in all likelihood.

Light taxation, light corvee, close to virtuous ministers, far away from villains. Uncle Emperor, I remember.

And in Wang Meiren's palace, a similar scene was also taking place.

"Uncle Huang didn't say anything, he just told Brother Huang and me the story of the battle in Liangzhou."

Liu Xie is smarter than Liu Bian, and she didn't say a word when it mattered, while Wang Meiren is slightly worse than Empress He's political skills. Liu Xie believes whatever Liu Xie says, and she doesn't want her son to lie to her. .

And all of this has nothing to do with Liu Ye, after he walked out of the palace, Huangfusong immediately said: "Yuqing, you two young people, let's talk, I'm going back to the mansion first."
