Chapter 165, Emperor, Eunuch, General
Liu Bang sat high on the throne, and the other emperors sat separately on both sides of the main hall. Liu Hong knelt in the hall under the gaze of a group of ancestors, trembling and trembling. Jian Shuo is not much better than him, the first emperors of the past dynasties! In the past, you could only see these Rao portraits when you served the emperor and entered the temple to worship your ancestors, but now you see a real person! What should I do, what to order?
Liu Hong opened his mouth first and said: "Liu Hong, the grandson of the future generation, meet Emperor Taizu Gao, and meet the first emperors." ”
Jian Shuo followed behind and said, "Minister, Jian Shuo, meet all the emperors! ”
Liu Bang nodded and said nothing. He didn't say anything, and neither did the other emperors. They all know the temper of the ancestors now, when they don't speak, it means that they are in a bad mood, and they can not provoke or not.
Liu Hong looked a little fat, and he didn't know if it was the way he was before he died. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a reliable emperor. No wonder Zhang Liang complained a lot about him, last time he and Zhang Liang chatted for a long time, Zhang Liang profoundly criticized all kinds of injustices in front of the curtain with the position of the Yellow Turban Army, and told a lot of tragic things about the people.
Liu Bang was born with mud legs, and he judged the truth of Zhang Liang's words. Although more than 400 years have passed since his days on earth, the world has not changed much in these 400 years compared to before. It's just that some supplies have become more convenient, and there are more types of vegetables that can be eaten. The output of staple grains has not increased much, and there has been no major improvement in the national economy and people's livelihood.
The ancestors didn't speak, Liu Hong didn't dare to get up, he didn't dare to get up, and Jian Shuo didn't have the courage to do so. The two ghosts honestly knelt on the ground, waiting for Liu Bang to open his mouth. Jian Shuo is better, after all, he is just a Han Chen, as a courtier, obey the orders from above, and be loyal to the emperor, there will be no fault. And Liu Hong is getting more and more worried, he is a real emperor, after getting rid of Dou Wu, all the real power is in his own hands, and he can't shirk it.
Liu Bang finally opened his mouth and said to Liu Hong: "Liu Hong, let me ask you, you are the emperor in the world, how have you achieved?"
Liu Hong reluctantly encouraged himself and said: "Back to Emperor Taizu Gao, when I was in the world, I put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, put down the Liangzhou Rebellion, and put down the Zhang Chun Rebellion. Although there are thieves below, they have not shaken the foundation of our Han family. ”
Liu Bang wanted to laugh at his words, he didn't do anything other than quelling the chaos?
"Then do you know why there are rebellions, one after another. ”
Liu Hong shook his head, he really hadn't thought about it. There are so many new things in the West Garden, how can I have time to think about anything else.
Liu Bang said to Jian Shuo again: "Liu Hong told you before he died that he wanted to abolish Chang Liyu?"
Jian Shuo's heart is going to be bad, and the matter of abolishing the long has always been the emperor's heart disease, and he can avoid it. Either the queen was changed together, turning the youngest son into the eldest son. But Liu Hong died too early, everything was not in time, and the prince did not do this beautifully enough.
Emperor Gaozu asked, Jian Shuo had no choice but to nod and say nothing. It's useless to explain too much, and it's not good for him to be a courtier and explain family affairs for the emperor. If it is good, there will be no praise, and if it is bad, it is easy to be accused of trespassing.
Liu Bang saw Jian Shuo nodding to confirm this matter, so he asked Liu Hong again: "What do you think?
Liu Hong defended: "Gaozu Rongyu, I have two sons alive in the world, and although the eldest son Liu Bian is older, he is a little dull and has no courage. Although the youngest son Liu Xie is still young, he is very intelligent and decisive. That's why I decided not to establish Liu Xian, but to establish Liu Xie. ”
"When did you first get this idea?"
"About three years ago. ”
Liu Hong answered honestly, but Liu Bang pursed his lips and said: "Three years, three years, you don't prepare for the establishment of the crown prince, and you don't suppress the He family's relatives earlier, what do you think!"
"I... I didn't expect to die so early. ”
Liu Bang simply jumped up from his seat, pointed at Liu Hong and scolded: "You didn't expect it! You didn't expect a lot, as an emperor, don't you understand the truth of taking precautions? How long did the emperors in front of you live, don't you count in your heart? How many of them have lived past thirty-three?"
Liu Wei lowered his head silently, he happened to live to be thirty-three years old. Liu Hu and Liu Bing pressed their heads much lower than Liu Bing, they didn't live to this age, Liu Zhi raised his head slightly, he lived to thirty-six, which is considered a long life! But turning his head to look at the previous emperors before Wang Mang usurped the throne, Liu Zhi also silently lowered his head, he couldn't compare, Emperor Xiaowu lived to seventy!
Liu Hong was speechless by Liu Bang, too, since Guangwu Zhongxing, the emperor who can live past the age of thirty-three adds up to three, and when he was in the world, he was a little overconfident.
Liu Bang no longer speaks, it is also very tiring to always give lessons to these grandsons, not to mention that the grandson is dead and what is the use of learning, is it to grab power with himself?
raised his finger and pointed at Liu Hong, and gave Liu Qi and Liu Che a look respectively.
Liu Che silently walked to the corner of the main hall, took out two long sticks, and handed one to Liu Che casually. Two people, one left and one right, blocked the door. When the other emperors saw their movements, they rolled up their sleeves one after another and formed a circle around Liu Hong and Jian Shuo.
Liu Hong and Jian Shuo trembled, and these emperors didn't look good.
Without waiting for them to make a move, Liu Bang said in the back: "Release Jian Shuo, I have something to ask him." ”
Liu Xiu and Liu Zhuang made a gap and let Jian Shuo run out, only blocking Liu Hong inside. Jian Shuo ran all the way to Liu Bang, only to hear Liu Hong behind him let out a deafening roar, and there was a sound of punching and kicking.
Liu Bang looked at Jian Shuo and said, "Are you a eunuch?
Jian Shuo nodded, he naturally worked through the Yellow Gate, most of the eunuchs started from the Yellow Gate, and if he was lucky enough, he could rise step by step, and he could participate in the center of power like him.
Liu Bang asked again: "Are you interested in staying in Weiyang Palace to do things?"
"But... Is that okay?"
Liu Bang said with a smile: "Why not, in the future, you will be my Shaofu, responsible for managing the internal affairs of Weiyang Palace." ”
Jian Shuo hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you Emperor Taizu Gao for your appreciation, and the minister is willing to serve the dead." ”
Liu Bang smiled very satisfied, after dying for so long, there is finally a eunuch in Weiyang Palace! Emperor, there is no eunuch waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse, how much face! After so many years, there is finally someone who is willing to stay in Weiyang Palace. The others are either in a hurry to reincarnate or don't want to have anything to do with the royal family, and I don't know why. The emperor is like a flood beast in the underworld, and he is the least welcome......
For the power field in the world, the higher the status, the more dangerous it is, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything. He Jin obviously didn't understand this truth, he was born as a butcher, although he was not a poor family, but he was not so rich. I haven't read enough books, and I've seen fewer scenes. If he was like Huo Guang and mingled under an emperor like Liu Che for a few years, he would probably understand these truths.
If he had killed Jian Shuo and let them do it together, then it would not have been him, the general, who would have died now. If you cut the grass to eradicate the roots, if you do it to a eunuch, you should pack up the rest of the eunuchs and send them away, instead of listening to your queen mother's sister.
He Jin understood it, but it was too late. Some things are always too late, and it would be nice if it could be in the morning. Then he won't die, it will be the group of eunuchs who will die, then he can still be a general in the world, instead of being a wandering spirit on the streets of the underworld.
"Alas". He Jin sighed and laughed at himself: "If you had started earlier, why would it be like this." ”
"Young man, it's okay to sigh for nothing! Let go of the things in the world, let go of them, death is dead, why do you want to do so much. ”
He Jin turned his head to see a white-bearded old man standing behind him with a lantern.
He Jin didn't quite understand the old man's actions, could it be the rules of the underworld? When he went out, he brought himself a lantern first? He looked around left and right, and no other ghost did this.
"My husband's thing is that he just died, and he inevitably can't let go of things in the world. What is the name of the old man, and why do you still carry a lantern during the day?"
The old man snorted and said, "There's a tavern in front, you might as well sit down and talk while drinking." ”
He Jin touched his waist, his face was a little embarrassed, he died from the world, he didn't have a penny on his body, where did he have the money to drink...
Jiang Shang could see his embarrassment, so he smiled and said, "The old man has a treat, let's go!"
He Jin's face turned red, and it was a little difficult to let an old man have a treat. He said hesitantly: "How dare you bother the elderly, it's better to wait until I have money, and then ask the old man." ”
Jiang Shang waved his hand and said: "Why bother twisting and pinching, why do you want to come back in the future, let's take a walk, the tavern of the Wen family has a new wine, according to Du Kang's new wine, you have to hurry up, you can't drink it late." ”
Although it is a tavern opened by Wen, Wenchong does not come often, as a large businessman in the underworld, the tavern is only a part of his industry, and there is no need to keep an eye on it all the time.
Jiang Shang took He Jin to find a place by the window, put the lantern on the table, ordered two jars of wine, and said, "What are you doing in the world?"
He Jin tilted his head and said proudly: "Zi Bucai, he was just a general when he was alive, and he was appointed as a cautious waiter." Where's my husband?"
Jiang Shang smiled and said, "I! I was a king when I was alive." ”
The king ??? He Jin looked at Jiang Shang again and again, and said, "Dare to ask the old man Gao's surname?"
"Hehe, everyone calls me Jiang Sang, think about you, you are the general He Jin who was killed a few days ago. ”
He Jin straightened up, served wine with both hands, and said, "He Jin has seen Taishi Jiang on his back." ”
Jiang Shang waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be like this, this is the underworld, and I don't pay much attention to these things." You don't have to worship me, I am an official of the Zhou Dynasty, you are an official of the Han Dynasty, and you are not subordinate to each other. ”
"After all, the Taishi is a senior, and the son should hold the junior ceremony. ”
Jiang Shang smiled and expressed satisfaction with He Jin's behavior. said: "You have obviously killed Jian Shuo first, how can you die in the hands of the eunuchs?"
He Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Alas, I was soft-hearted for a while, and I couldn't regret it." Why is the Master carrying a lantern?"
"Uh, helpless, helpless......"
