Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

When these words were spoken, several people present were shocked.

Lian Wuzhu also raised his head and looked at Liu Hong lying on the couch, wondering why Emperor Gao gave this painting this name.

Zhang Liang's whole body was shaking, not because of fear, but because of excitement.

The political implications of this were too obvious. Not only did Emperor Gao not pay any attention to the previous advice, he also ignored it.

Instead, he was willing to let Zhang Liang help Liu Heng to grasp the power that belonged to the emperor in the form of assisting in the administration.

Only Hong Zhu showed a trace of panic in his eyes. He relied on Liu Hong for everything. Now looking at the arrangements made by Emperor Gao, it seemed that he would not live long.

Otherwise, how could he, in his prime, entrust the throne to the crown prince?

Liu Hong saw that the expressions of several people were different, and they seemed to have let go of a lot of worries.

"What good does fame have to do with me? I am a commoner from Danzhou, and I have no intention of competing for the throne of the world. But I just can't bear to see the suffering of the people."

"Since I am in the court now and cannot allow the ministers to fully display their abilities in governing the country, I will naturally have to leave."

At this point, Zhang Liang, who was usually calm, couldn't help but have red eyes.

Emperor Gao had a very high prestige. He was the first emperor who came from a commoner family and conquered the world, and he was also the first emperor to unify the world.

This is just power. Emperor Gao is also the number one grandmaster in the world. Wu Zhu, who is also a grandmaster, is also by his side.

Who can oppose Emperor Gao?
This meant that Emperor Gao was surrounded by nothing but praise and never heard any slander.

This is very scary. If this continues, even the most humble person will become a tyrant like Emperor Qing.

These ministers were all famous officials with their own personalities, and sometimes they would inevitably argue with the Emperor Gao because of their different ideas.

By then, I would probably be attacked by fanatical people and officials, accompanied by soldiers, and killed directly at home.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, Liu Hong has no chance of becoming Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Either he takes power himself and all the ministers become puppets in his hands, or he gives up power and leaves Kyoto.

Wu Zhu suddenly looked up, somewhat confused.

"So you're going to retire?"

Liu Hong was speechless for a moment. He was giving up power, but that didn't mean he would stop being the emperor.

"It's just a visit to various counties and prefectures across the country! If the officials below can implement 50% to 60% of the policies from above, they already have a conscience."

"When I recaptured Dongyi City and Northern Qi, I discovered a problem. Many times, the court has reduced taxes."

"But the officials below concealed the truth and did not report it. Instead, they went even further and added various taxes in various pretexts."

Hong Zhu was silent for a while, his voice a little dry.

"Your Majesty! Then you can also send imperial censors to investigate every corner of the Han Dynasty. There is no need to go there in person, right?"

Liu Hong just smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Liang took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty! I will definitely devote all my energy and efforts to create a prosperous era for you and our Han people."

Although the name "Shengshi" is a compliment, it is actually not a good thing. It means that the era opened up by later generations is not as good as Liu Hong's era.

Liu Hong nodded, he believed Zhang Liang.

To be precise, trust everyone he chooses.

The purpose of going deep into counties and villages was just to see the implementation of the reform with my own eyes.

The Emperor gave Zhang Liang the map of carrying things on his back, which was almost a golden ticket of immunity from death, allowing Zhang Liang to give full play to his talents.

After everything was arranged, several people left and it was almost dark.

In Changle Palace, candlelight was dim, and Sang Wen had a graceful and elegant figure. With the passing of time, her appearance became even more beautiful.

Many palace maids handled palace affairs in an orderly manner.

Sang Wen was holding a pipa gently, as if waiting for something.

Liu Hong took off his emperor's clothes and felt much more relaxed. He strolled into Changle Palace.

"Have you decided? How long will you be gone this time?"

Sang Wen smiled widely, stretched out her slender jade fingers, pressed the strings of the pipa, and pleasant sounds rang out.

"Who knows? I'm not Emperor Qing. I don't really care about power. I've already enjoyed what I should have enjoyed."

Liu Hong sat on a chair nearby, listening to the sound of the pipa. "Now I want my benevolent rule to be implemented in every corner of the Han Dynasty. I don't want to see the people's families broken up and their families destroyed."

Sang Wen listened quietly to Liu Hong's thoughts. She believed that Liu Hong was not lying.

Throughout history, emperors of every dynasty, after conquering the empire, either worked hard to govern the country or indulged in wine and women and enjoyed life.

Only Liu Hong wanted to go deep into the countryside and spread the dynasty's benevolent policies to every corner.

No matter how bright the Han Dynasty was, there were still dark corners that it could not reach, and Emperor Gao decided to go there.

After the pipa finished playing, Liu Hong and Sang Wen looked at each other for a long time.

"Are you sure you won't follow me this time?"

Liu Hong laughed.

Sang Wen's face showed some excitement, but when he thought of Liu Heng, Liu Ying and other children, he looked at Liu Hong with some blame.

"There is no such thing as a father like you in the world. It seems like you have never taught your children seriously."

"You want me to go with you? Aren't you afraid that your Liu Dynasty will be usurped?"

Having said that, Liu Hong and Sang Wen were not too worried.

Liu Hong thought for a while and then spoke softly.

"There's no need to teach my son. I don't have the patience. Besides, no matter how I teach him, his offspring will never be as good as me."

"As for the usurpation of the throne, if that person has the ability to make the people live a better life, what's wrong with giving the throne to him?"

Sang Wen looked at Liu Hong gently with her beautiful eyes, and the smile in her eyes outlined a crescent moon.

The Liu Hong she knew is back!

Always so confident.

As time goes by, Liu Hong has never changed his original intention.

He used to be a commoner and a pirate, but now that he has ascended the throne, he has not forgotten the people who had the same experience as him.

Three months later, except for the court officials, almost all the more than one hundred princes and dukes returned to their fiefdoms.

The imperial decree caused a storm throughout the world.

"The Emperor Gao is going to hide his identity and tour the country to check on the lives of the people."

"The military affairs are managed by Han Xin, Er Gouzi, Gou Sheng, and Lu Ci. The political affairs are managed by the Prime Minister, the Six Ministers, and the Empress Sang Wen is in charge of the political affairs on behalf of the Emperor."

If Emperor Gao was not a grandmaster and had not enjoyed extremely high prestige, no one would dare to oppose him.

These people thought there was a coup d'état in the court!

This is the throne! Not only did Emperor Gao not enjoy it, he also visited every corner of the country.

At the Kyoto noodles stall, a group of diners were talking about this matter with great interest, sometimes even their faces turned red.

Mr. Zhou, the boss of the noodle stall, was disdainful of what these guys were saying and sneered.

"What's the point of you saying all this! The whole world was conquered by Emperor Gao. If anyone dares to rebel, Emperor Gao will just fight again."

"The ones who should be worried now are the corrupt officials in various places. With Emperor Gao personally inspecting, it will be impossible for them to collude with each other."

After these words were spoken, the diners stopped talking and started eating noodles.

They had nothing to say about Mr. Zhou, the owner of the noodle stall. This man had hosted Emperor Gao for noodles many times and was also awarded the title of Five Hundred Households by Emperor Gao.

People still run noodle stalls now, it’s purely out of sentiment.

A man in a cloak finished his meat noodles in no time and casually threw down a piece of silver.

"Boss, let's go!"

Liu Hong looked at the group of people, smiled, and left with Wu Zhu.

Life in Kyoto is pretty good, I haven't heard any complaints.

Boss Zhou's ears moved, and he felt that he had heard the voice before, and then he saw the two men leaving.

Then he laughed, looking a little dejected.

He was overthinking. How could the Emperor Gao come back to eat noodles? (End of this chapter)
