Liu Ju is now a little frightened.

Because, in this greenhouse hall, he saw dozens of old men with white hair and beard.

And these old men had an envious dove stick around or in their hands.

This is a symbol of their identity, the rod of the three elders given by the emperor.

This stick is powerful, and can hit unfaithful sons from above and hammer them from below.

Even if the holder is just a commoner, he has the right to write a letter to the emperor at any time, and the Minister of Lantai must submit his letter to the emperor as soon as possible.

This is the ancestral system!

It is also the basic national policy of the Han Empire to rule the world with filial piety, so the three elders were ordered to be in charge of education!

What made Liu Ju panic was that these three elders were not ordinary people.

Many of them, Liu Ju, were even very familiar with them.

There were old ministers who had been in charge of him, there were also generals who had worshipped him in front of him, and there were also relatives, ministers and ministers of foreign relatives.

However, these people have already retired and left the officialdom.

Many people do not even show up at the annual dynasty meeting, hide in their homes, or teach and educate people in their hometowns.

However, now, these people have appeared here collectively.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, the reign of emperors summoned veterans to resign, and generally only needed to occupy the moral commanding heights for those major events that needed to report to the ancestors, the country and the temples.

Then the question is.

What is the Emperor going to report to our ancestors?

Liu Ju was a little chilled when he thought about these things.

However, the emperor who was in charge of his head had a relaxed and comfortable look on his face.

He even had leisure and elegance, and asked about Empress Wei and Princess Nanling.

Liu Ju Wuxin went to listen, and all he thought about was his father and his ministers.

"Crown Prince..." The emperor suddenly waved to Liu Ju.

"My son is here..." Liu Ju quickly got up and bowed respectfully, "Father, please give me instructions..."

The emperor smiled and asked, "The prince is in Luoyang and is in charge of the river management. I believe he has had social interactions with the heroes of the world and the heroes of the prefectures and counties, right?"

Liu Ju hurriedly said, "I am grateful to my father, and my son is lucky to have met many capable ministers and officials from all over the river. This time I returned to Beijing, I planned to report to my father..."

"Then let's talk!" The emperor waved his hand with great interest.

"Lu'an, Qi County, is good at herders..."

"Jiangdu Yan Guang, his skill in all kinds of craftsmen..."

"Lu Xun of Guangping is good at arithmetic and clear account books..."

“…”

Liu Ju then honestly introduced the talents he had discovered and promoted during the past one or two years of river management to the emperor.

The emperor nodded from time to time when he heard this, and at the same time he opened the booklet placed on the imperial desk from time to time.

After Liu Ji finished speaking, the emperor suddenly asked, "Why did the prince only introduce me to the sons of the noble family, the descendants of the famous family?"

"Is there no son of a poor family who can be appreciated by the prince in such a great world?"

When Liu Ju heard this, he was speechless.

Because the names he reported to the emperor were indeed as the emperor said, all of them were born in famous families or poets and scholars, and the worst one was a good teacher.

There is no one who starts from the smallest and pulls from the plates!

The emperor smiled and said, "Crown Prince, I heard that when the prince surrounded the lake in Jiangdu, he relied on the famous scholars and the help of the rich clans..."

"Then the prince threw him into a peach, rewarded him with courtesy, promoted his children, and his disciples entered the Hekoufu government and became officials at the left and right..."

"Father, my son has not abused the power granted by my father..." Liu Ju bowed heavily and said, "The people I use for my son are all talented people..."

"I know!" The emperor put down the booklet in his hand: "So, I will never interfere with the person whom the prince reports to him who wants to be given the position!"

"Just..." the emperor said softly: "The lonely yin does not grow, the lonely yang does not grow, the yin and yang are disordered, the five elements are chaotic, and the heaven and earth will be chaotic!"

Liu Ju listened, so he had to kowtow honestly and admit his mistake: "My son knows his crime, and he must correct himself and reform himself!"

The emperor heard this, but shook his head: "Crown Prince, you still don't understand!"

The emperor has always seen the actions of the prince in Luoyang, Jiangdu, and Qi and Lu.

At first, he was very happy because the prince was finally willing to do things and would also use people.

But after a long time, the emperor discovered something was wrong again.

The prince almost all employs famous people in the local family, noble families, heroes, and great scholars.

As for the promotion of officials from the grassroots level and Shi Enbuze, he looked behind his forehead.

So the emperor made an excuse to kill Shi De and Jiang Sheng, who had been instilling those evil ideas in the prince.

I thought the prince should wake up a little, but this guy was in a state of trouble in Luoyang.

There was no choice but to recall him to Chang'an and let him study behind closed doors. He also sent people to send many secret files that were originally qualified and authorized to the prince, hoping that the prince could understand something.

Then, before this was calm, the Crown Prince and Minister followed Li Guangli, Liu Quqi and others, trying to catch General Ying Yang and Zhang Zizhong's one of the things that was not a handle to cause trouble.

This really disappointed the emperor!

The prince is really bad at hiring people!

It can even be said that Prince Liu Ju never uses people!

Just take it as a river management between Luoyang, Qilu and Qingxu, it seems that the prince is doing a good job.

However……

In essence, nothing has changed.

It was just that I used literati in the past to now use civil servants, and I chose some capable civil servants.

But the problem is that the world is so big, and there are many capable people like stars.

The prince could use fame and fortune as bait, use the law of famous titles and titles as tools, and ask for help, and play with the Southeast rich people.

In the eyes of the emperor, this is something that can be done easily!

But the prince is better. He still doesn't want to offend anyone in everything, and wants to discuss everything with others, and ask for a happy situation.

Therefore, the prince who should have controlled the Qi, Lu, Wu and Chu was led by the nobles and powerful men in Qi, Lu, Wu, Chu, Heluo.

The official position of Zhihe Protectorate became goods similar to the Chang'an market, and the rewards that local tyrants, nobles and famous families asked the country for!

Therefore, the foundation of the Zhihe Protectorate was laid for only two years, and the whole family was a wealthy family in Kanto and controlled by famous families.

Although it seems that Liu Ju did check the talents, the people he uses are really talented people.

They can do things and do good things too!

But the problem is...

What about the people below?

Fortunately, Liu Ju stared at him and didn't fight the place, so he just circled around Jiangdu County.

But now, the huge project of leading Huai to Bian is a huge project that spans prefectures and counties, and thousands of miles along the way.

The officials and eunuchs who were personally sent out to supervise and secretly visited the Jinwu, the censors and the eunuchs were reporting to him that local officials were working on their own, powerful and evil gentry, and slaughtering the people.

The ridiculous prince is still content and thinks he has done the right thing.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but say, "Crown Prince, do you know that I have summoned the Yuan Gongshu today to gather here, and I want to discuss what's going on?"

Liu Ju hurriedly said, "I'll ask my father to give me some advice!"

"I am already sixty-four years old this year! It is almost the year of doing what I want..." The emperor said leisurely: "Since ancient times, there is rarely anyone who can reach this point!"

"I dare not ask for King Wen's life, but only ask for nothing like King Tang. I have not been able to see the day of peace in the world and the failure to teach the crown prince and the crown prince well, which has led to shame and the country is dark..."

Liu Ju was trembling as he heard this, and quickly took off his hat and apologized: "My son is unfilial, which makes his father worried!"

"Crown Prince, don't be afraid!" The emperor waved his hand and said, "I am old and have no intention of thinking about destruction..."

"Well, the prince is honest, kind and filial, how can I depose him lightly?!"

The emperor stood up, looked at the confused prince, shook his head, and said, "I tell the prince the truth. I am summoning the Yuanfu today to tell Yuanfu something..."

He looked at the prince from a high place and suddenly said, "I have ordered the messenger to order Guo Rang to go to Hexi to use my secret order to Bai Yu General Yang..."

"The edict said: A hundred years later, the prince will injure the family, and you can do the story of Yi Yin!"

The emperor's words were like thunder, and they exploded in Liu Ju's ears: "Those who go with the imperial edict are the pictures of Yi Yin, who I personally painted by my hand, welcomed Taijia to Tong Palace!"

"I originally wanted to secretly announce this matter, but now that I have come to this point, I have to do this!"

"For this matter, I will report to the old ministers of Yuan Dynasty, and the ancestors and the ancestral temples, and archive them in Lantai..."
