Chapter 054: Throwing Off the Cliff
"This king is in trouble...."
"Big brother... Big brother..."
Liu Chang was interrupted by Fan Yan, very unhappy, and looked at him angrily, "What are you doing?" ”
Fan Yan said seriously: "The last time the king of Chu came to visit my father, he claimed to be a widow, not this king..."
"Oh... Well, the widow is in trouble..."
"That Zhao Wang Ruyi, is a despicable villain, his biological mother is a hundred times better, because of her, the parents at home are not in harmony, in the past few days, alas, the quarrel is even more intense, I have the heart to get rid of that woman, and I am afraid of affecting the relationship between the two countries of the Zhao Dynasty, and I am in the same room..."
Zhou Shengzhi suddenly asked, "Why doesn't the king ask the sages?" ”
"That's right!"
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, your father is the prime minister of my Han Dynasty, and he can be regarded as the smartest person in the Han Dynasty, what can you do?" ”
Xiao Yan bubbled with snot, looking at Liu Chang sluggishly, time and space seemed to stop in an instant, and he was stunned for a long time, and finally, he shook his head, "No way." ”
"You're so unreliable... Xiahou Zao drove a car and flipped it once, Fan Yan was chased by a vicious dog for three streets, Xiao Yan, you... You wipe your snot first..."
Liu Chang shook his head helplessly, this Gao Xian is not good, it is too unreliable.
Zhou Shengzhi said a little proudly: "They are not like my father, they are not like me." ”
"Don't talk about it... The last time I was caught by a patrolling sergeant, people scared you a few words, and you peed your pants... I've never heard of Taiwei Zhou being so scared by someone that he peed his pants..."
Zhou Shengzhi's face turned red.
At this time, Chen Mai spoke, he squinted his eyes, and said seriously: "Actually, this matter is not difficult. ”
"Oh?"
Liu Chang's eyes widened, could it be that there is really a reliable one among us?
Chen Mai said in a low voice: "The king can go to Ruyi first and pretend to have a good relationship with him..."
"And then?"
"And then... Steal his sword and kill his mother! ”
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Mai with complicated eyes, is this your strategy? ?
Forget it, it's better for the widow to figure it out on his own.
......
In the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Bang sat on the upper seat, and Xiao He and Chen Ping sat on both sides.
The Huainan doctor, Ben He, knelt in front of them, trembling.
"False accusations... This is a false accusation. ”
"Yingbu should not have such a thing, I am afraid that he was framed because of a grudge. Please imprison Ben He and send someone to secretly verify the King of Huainan..."
Xiao He was the first to speak, he didn't believe that Yingbu would rebel, and raised a lot of questions about the words of the doctor in front of him, he said that Yingbu was hoarding grain and grass and fighting hard, but according to Huainanguo's report, there was no such thing.
Yingbu followed the generals to hunt every day, some time ago, in order to chase a group of thieves, he was stunned to chase out of Huainan country, people who really want to rebel will not do so many things before the rebellion, if Yingbu is a plan to cover up, Xiao He will not believe it, he doesn't have that brain.
Liu Bang touched his chin and didn't answer.
"It's not a false accusation... Yingbu was really ready to rebel, and when Peng Yue was caught, he gathered the generals and said that His Majesty had eliminated the Liang State, and the Huainan Kingdom could not help but prepare..."
Ben Hyuk hurriedly explained.
Xiao He squinted his eyes and asked, "In that case, why did Your Excellency only come to report now?" ”
"I... I was sent by Yingbu to do things, and now I have escaped..."
Xiao He snorted coldly and ignored him again.
Liu Bang looked a little hesitant, not knowing what he was thinking, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Huainan Kingdom?" How much grain and grass? ”
"Your Majesty!!"
Hearing Liu Bang's inquiry, Xiao He couldn't sit still, he stood up and persuaded: "Your Majesty, think carefully, the rebellion of the Zhao Dynasty has just ended, and various places have experienced a year of war..."
He no longer tried to explain whether Yingbu was really going to rebel, and probably Xiao He also realized it. The emperor didn't care if Yingbu really wanted to rebel, he just needed a reason. Just like he did to Han Xin and Peng Yue.
The difference is that there is still a friendship with Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Liu Bang. They fought side by side, and there was a time when they were like brothers, but Yingbu... Liu Bang said: I don't know it, I don't know it.
Xiao He chattered about the situation in various places, Qingzhuang has been away from his hometown for almost a year, if he leaves for another year, then there will really be a big problem in the place... Just as the prime minister was explaining, Liu Bang suddenly grinned.
He stretched out his hand to Xiao He and motioned for Xiao He to come over.
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and slowly walked to Liu Bang's side, Liu Bang said with a smile: "Has the prime minister found out?" ”
"Found what?"
"Lately, no matter what I say, the Prime Minister seems to have been against me... When I didn't ascend the throne, whatever I said, the prime minister would agree... Now it's the opposite, Prime Minister, isn't it interesting? ”
Looking at Liu Bang's kind smile, Xiao He just felt creepy in his heart.
In an instant, the prime minister felt that the person in front of him had become a little strange, he thought that he knew this majesty well, but now, he suddenly found that he didn't seem to know it well.
Chen Ping looked at Xiao He, narrowed his eyes dryly, half-drooped his head, and didn't say a word.
The atmosphere fell silent.
Xiao He's face did not hesitate, he said very calmly: "The minister thinks that Huainan cannot be conscripted, first, Yingbu has never had the idea of rebellion, if His Majesty sends someone to question, under the fear, he will really rebel." ”
"Second, because of the rebellion of the Zhao Dynasty, the food consumed is huge, and the young and strong people in various places are on the battlefield, and the impact on agriculture is also very large.
"Third, Yingbu is not Chen, Han Zhiliu and others, pacifying Huainan will not be as easy as pacifying Zhao Dai, even if it is pacified, I am afraid that I will have to pay a heavy price."
"The prime minister is reasonable..."
Liu Bang nodded with a smile and said, "Take this person into custody for the time being!" ”
Xiao He soon left, Liu Bang and Chen Ping continued to be in the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Bang held the bamboo slips and looked at them casually.
Chen Ping opened his mouth and asked, "Your Majesty, what about this matter..."
"Don't worry, let's wait for Zhao Yao to come."
Chen Ping lowered his head again and said nothing.
At this time, a close attendant told Zhao Yao, the imperial historian, who asked to see him, Liu Bang laughed, looked at Chen Ping, and said, "You go back first!" ”
Chen Ping said goodbye, met Zhao Yao in a hurry on the way, the two nodded and left in a hurry, Zhao Yao felt a little strange, why did Chen Hou feel a little strange when he looked at his eyes?
Zhao Yao entered the main hall and met Liu Bang.
"I don't know what happened to Aiqing?"
"I heard that Dr. Huainan is coming, isn't there something big happening in Huainan?"
Liu Bang exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, you said yes, it was indeed a big incident, and the middle husband Ben He wrote that the King of Huainan rebelled..."
"What?"
Zhao Yao was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, please also ask Your Majesty to quickly send someone to find out the situation!" Yingbu is a capricious villain, if he hesitates, things in Huainan will definitely change! ”
Liu Bang sighed helplessly and said, "But the prime minister doesn't allow it." ”
"The major affairs of the country lie in the king, and I have never heard of the courtesy of the minister!"
"This...."
Liu Bang still looked a little hesitant, Zhao Yao hurriedly said: "Please don't hesitate, if it's late, I'm afraid that it will cause a bigger disaster, Your Majesty can order the Taiwei to lead the soldiers of the Zhao Dynasty and quietly go to the Huainan area... Send someone to verify it again, and when the truth is clear, you will attack directly! ”
"Good! If you say so, do it! ”
Liu Bang soon sent an envoy to secretly mobilize the army from the north to the south, and he also wrote letters to several princes near Huainan, telling them to prepare for the war as soon as the envoy "investigates clearly".
In the Jiaofang Palace, Lu Shizhi was seriously telling the conversation between Zhao Yao and Liu Bang.
"The prime minister has been too wide recently... Do you want to find something for the prime minister to do? ”
Lu Shizhi was very dissatisfied with Xiao He.
Empress Lu shook her head indifferently, "It's just a knife to kill people, and you are not allowed to be disrespectful to the prime minister." ”
