Song Wendi Liu Yilong is a clever man. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, he was made king of Yidu and lived in Jiangling. He managed everything in the fief in good order, so he was very prestigious. When he became emperor, he was only eighteen years old and already knew how to govern the country. He made up his mind that one day, he must get rid of Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang and Xie Hui and avenge his two brothers. On the surface, Song Wendi gave the three ministers promotions and titles, and completely trusted them to discuss with them.
The three ministers were wary of Song Wendi from the beginning, fearing that he would retaliate against the dead symbol of justice and the truth of justice. They are also careful everywhere and prepared psychologically and militarily. They plotted to put Xie Hui in Jingzhou, and once the capital changed, they immediately sent troops to Beijing. But later, the three ministers did not see what harm the new emperor did to them, but felt that the emperor trusted them, so they gradually relaxed.
One morning, Fu Liang asked Song Wendi to take his daughter Shu Ken into the palace as his concubine, and Yi Long readily agreed, saying that he would choose an auspicious day to enter the palace and marry her. Fu Liang was a relative of the emperor, so he was relieved of his worries.
Yi Long's little emperor, on the surface, trusted the three ministers, but secretly actively dispatched troops to prepare the three of them to catch the gang. He first transferred his cronies Wang Hua and Wang Tan to middle school, and then transferred his cronies Dao Yan from Xiangyang to Kyoto as a leader, and made Dao Yan make friends with Xie Hui. Xie Hui didn't know the little emperor's intention. He really made friends with Dao and married his two daughters to two senior officials in North Korea. In this way, he had eyes and ears in Kyoto and expanded his power. The little emperor named Xie Hui's eldest son, Shi Xiu, as a doctor and stayed in the palace. Xie Hui was very happy.
Fu Liang, Xu Xianzhi and Xie Hui, three important ministers, have now completely relieved the position of the little emperor. Fu Liang and Xu Xianzhi were too old to be in charge of North Korean affairs, so they went to Song Wendi and asked to resign and go home. Yi Long didn't know whether the two old ministers really wanted to quit or pretended to be tempted, so he said he didn't agree to resign. Fu Liang and Xu Xianzhi went to the table again and again. The little emperor saw that they were sincere and agreed. Two old ministers resigned and went home, and the little emperor Yi Long began to eliminate three important ministers.
One night, while Fu Liang was sleeping, someone suddenly told him outside the window that if the emperor invited him into the palace, he wouldn't go, and then he hurried away. After dawn, the imperial edict to invite Fu Liang and Xu Xianzhi into the palace came. Fu Liang said to the bearer, Mrs. Lao Chen is seriously ill, so she took the medicine and went to the inner palace.
After people left, Fu Liang immediately sent someone to inform Xu Xianzhi to ride out of the city.
Fu ran more than a hundred miles out of the city, came to a mountain, got off his horse and let it run away. He got into the grass, walked to a grave, removed the tombstone and got into the grave. This is the tomb that Fu Liang built two years ago for his dead second brother Defoe. When it was built, a secret tunnel was set up to store clothes, food and other necessities in case of future accidents.
Hearing that Fu Liang was missing, the little emperor Yi Long gave a death order to the chariots and horses school to comfort Guo Hong. Guo Hong had to come to Fuliang again and tortured all his family. An old servant was forced to tell the secret of the grave.
Guo Hong led the army to Defoe's grave and asked the soldiers to remove the tombstone. Unexpectedly, an arrow shot from the tomb and hit the soldier in the chest. Guo Hong asked the soldiers to light hay and put smoke in the grave. Fu Liang is very helpless. He walked out of the grave and gave in easily. The next day, he was beheaded and executed, and he was violently dead for three days. It ended badly. At the beginning, he gained fame and fortune with the full support of Emperor Wu of Song, only to die in the hands of Emperor Wu of Song's son, and this Liu Yilong was also his single-handedly promoted to the throne.
Xu Xianzhi got a tip-off from Fu Liang's family and rode out of the city in a hurry. When he ran to the Woods in the suburbs, he found the pursuers behind him. Knowing that he could not escape, he stopped his horse, took off his belt and hanged himself in a tree. The founding father who helped Emperor Wu of Song to farmland ended his life in this way.
Xie Hui, who mastered the relieving of Jiangling, flew into a rage when he heard the bad news. He sent a letter to his friends Tan Daoji and Dao Yanzhi, asking them to confront Yi Long's little emperors, Tan Daoji and Dao Yanzhi, and agreed to be insiders. Xie Hui was very happy. He personally led 30 thousand water army, set out from Jiangling and marched into Jiankang.
When Xie Hui came to Peng Chengzhou, the head of the warship, he saw the imperial fleet meet him from a distance. He was taken aback and learned that the pioneer was his new friend Dao and the commander-in-chief was his old friend Tan Daoji. Only then did he realize that he had been played by the little emperor Yi Long. Xie Hui didn't dare to recklessly. In desperation, he packed his boat and ran away. His Jiangling army was leaderless and lost without a fight. Originally, TanDaoJi was Xie Hui's confidant and participated in the killing of Liu Yifu and Liu Yi. Song Wendi saw that Tan Daoji was a talented person, so he took him from Xie Hui and entrusted him with an important task to take charge of the military. Xie Hui doesn't know the mystery. Tao's making new friends with Xie Hui was just a move by Emperor Yi Long, and Xie Hui naturally kept in the dark. A few days later, Xie Hui was also arrested and executed at the age of 37.
After saving the lives of three important officials, Song Wendi took control of state power. In his view, the key to national stability is to let farmers have land to grow and food to eat, so that they will not rise up and rebel, and their throne will be stable. At that time, farmers were very poor, owed a lot of official debts, and even could not afford to buy seeds. Song Wendi announced that all taxes owed by farmers to the government would be halved and paid after the autumn harvest. In autumn, he saw that it would be difficult for farmers to sow in the second year after they defaulted on rent. He announced again that all the rent owed would be exempted, but he would do a good job in production in the future and would not continue to owe money.
When farmers heard the order of tax reduction and exemption, they were very happy, and their production was more dynamic. Then, Song Wendi ordered state officials to lead farmers to cultivate well. If farmers are short of seeds, the government will lend them. If production is not done well, officials will be punished. Song Wendi also personally led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to plow and hoe fields in the suburbs of Beijing, setting an example for everyone. Seeing that the emperor attached so much importance to agriculture, the farmers worked hard to reclaim and cultivate the land, and the agricultural production destroyed in the war was quickly restored.
Although agricultural production has resumed, famine is inevitable in some places. Song Wendi is very concerned about disaster relief. One year, there was a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and rice could not be planted. Song Wendi ordered to replant drought-tolerant wheat. Another year, Danyang, Huainan, Xing Wu, Yixing and other places were flooded, and farmers had no food. Song Wendi ordered millions of welcome rice from the government granary and transported it to the disaster area to help the victims.
At that time, many landlords often used famine to annex farmers' land and make farmers become serfs in their estates. Therefore, Song Wendi often orders the household registration department to register farmers and their land in the government's household registration book, so as to prevent the big landlords from embezzling them. At the same time, people with more land have to pay more land rent to the government, which not only increases the income of the country, but also avoids the fact that land rent is evenly distributed to farmers with less land, thus relatively reducing their burden.
To carry out these policies, it is impossible to rely solely on the emperor, so Song Wendi attaches great importance to the selection of officials. He sent capable people to local officials and severely punished corrupt officials.
Song Wendi severely punishes corrupt officials. Liu Zunkao, the satrap of Nanliang County, is Song Wendi's uncle, greedy for money and profit. When he was a satrap in Nanliang County, there was a serious drought. Not only did he not take measures to help the victims, but he also took the opportunity to embezzle the relief food distributed by the court. When Song Wendi learned of Liu Zunkao's illegal behavior, he was unselfishly removed from his post and gave him the punishment he deserved.
Song Wendi's measures gradually made the social economy prosperous. At that time, it was recorded that during the reign of Song Wendi, the world was peaceful, the people did not have to bear heavy corvee, the land rent was also very light, and the grain was harvested year after year. The poor are also married and have children. The whole country has a prosperous population. The harvested grain is piled in the ground, no one steals it, and residents don't close the door when they sleep at night. This record may be exaggerated, but it also shows that the situation was better than before. During the thirty years of Song Wendi's rule, Yuanjia was used as the title. Historically, the peaceful scene during his reign was called Yuan Jia Tian Xia.
