Chapter 142: The Beginning of the Dynasty

The names of the grandsons of Emperor Yuanwu all follow the pattern of the first character scene and the second character again. For example, Chang Muzhi's three sons are named Liu Jingqian, Liu Jingmo and Liu Jinglong.

The prince's concubines also follow this naming method, and there is nothing special about it.

But the concubine born to the crown princess, Emperor Yuanwu personally took the name, removed the first word scene, and only took the word Xun.

If you want to say the literal meaning, there is nothing special about the name Liu Xun.

But the princes still looked sideways at Liu Xun's name.

That's because the character Xun in Liu Xun's name is the name of a vassal state hundreds of thousands of years ago.

When Wei Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, pacified the world, in order to elevate his identity, he once claimed to the people of the world that he was a descendant of the royal family of the Xun Kingdom, in order to show the legitimacy of his ascension to the throne as the emperor.

The name given by Emperor Yuanwu to his grandson is particularly meaningful.

The crown princess gave birth to the emperor's grandson, and the prince's mansion is naturally going to be lively again.

Although the 100-day banquet of the emperor and grandson was still early, the prince's mansion began to send out invitations early. Naturally, the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion also received one.

Chang Runzhi pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache, and said to Liu Tong: "What kind of gift should I give in the past?" ”

Liu Tong lowered his eyes slightly, and said after a long time: "Just send some, the prince's mansion is not short of gifts from our mansion." ”

Chang Runzhi pretended not to hear the yin and yang weirdness implied in Liu Tong's words, and thought to himself that he was going to the treasury to pick up gifts again.

On the second day of Liu Xun's birth, it was the time for the courtiers to cancel their vacation, and the court opened on the sixteenth day of the first month.

On the first day of the last dynasty, Emperor Yuan Wu took out the empirical evidence of the truth of the Yanzhou riots that he had obtained from King Rui, and at the same time, he also took out the subsequent accusations of the Qi and Lu families over the years.

The temple people took the Chen Tiao and recited them one by one, and their unique voices filled the sky above the main hall.

There was enough time for the incense stick before the temple people retreated.

"King Rui went to Yanzhou and found out such a truth." Emperor Yuanwu stood in front of the emperor's throne, his eyes were sharp, he glanced around, and said: "The Qi family, deceive the upper and lower levels, perversely, oppress the people, and plunder the common people; The Lu family, who communicated with foreign countries, bribed the Criminal Department, created unjust cases, and colluded with the Qi family. Over the years, the Yanzhou officials have done nothing in the local area, and they have been oppressed and coerced by them. Tell me, what should I do with them? ”

The prince's legs moved, but he didn't dare to step forward.

I wish the king to be anxious, and he can't bear it compared to the prince, so he stepped forward and said: "Father! Did the fifth brother find out about this? Don't wronged the good guys! ”

mentioned himself, King Rui could only stand up and say: "Brother Wang, the matter of the Yanzhou riot is indeed investigated by the minister, and there is evidence. As for the affairs of the Qi and Lu families, the father sent someone to investigate secretly, and he will definitely not wronged anyone. ”

Zhu Wang's eyes were hateful, and he couldn't answer for a while, so he could only shut his mouth stupidly.

And when the prince heard King Rui say that the affairs of the Qi and Lu families were investigated by Emperor Yuanwu, he wanted to step forward and speak.

Emperor Yuanwu squinted his eyes slightly and stared at King Zhu, and said, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and you still dare to stand up and speak for the Qi and Lu families?" ”

Zhu Wang felt a pang in his heart, reflexively lifted his robe and knelt down, and for a while the six gods were ownerless, and stammered: "Erchen, Erchen......"

Seeing him like this, Emperor Yuanwu was so angry that he said sharply: "Kneel down, I won't let you speak, you just keep your mouth shut!" ”

Liu Tong stood with his head bowed slightly, raised his eyelids and glanced at King Zhu, and then withdrew his gaze.

The prince was silent, and King Zhu was reprimanded and did not dare to speak, but their own spokesman spoke for them.

A courtier came forward and said: "Your Majesty, if the Qi and Lu families really do these things, they should naturally be punished." But in the end, here in Yanzhou, the imperial court has always been inconsiderate, and if it suddenly starts up, I am afraid it will be ......"

Immediately, someone stepped forward to echo and moved Wei Gaozu out.

"When Gaozu didn't get into trouble, he was helped by the three major clans in Yanzhou. After the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, Gaozu also acquiesced to Yanzhou's expansion of the family by the three families of Qi, Lu and Yuwen in order to repay his kindness. Now that the descendants of the Qi and Lu tribes have done something wrong, they should be punished, but the minister thinks that it is better to be cautious and gradual in an orderly manner, so as not to provoke it and end the situation badly......"

"Your Majesty, among the big clans, the horses of the herd and the rats of the city fox society, the ministers privately think that the Qi and Lu families who do such things will definitely not be their whole clan. Just find out the rebels in his clan, and don't anger others and hurt the innocent. ”

"yes, yes......"

For a while, people from the prince's family and the Zhuwang faction echoed their words.

King Qi did not move, King Li smiled silently, King Cen seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his standing posture was still not so regular.

There are those who hope to settle the matter, and naturally there are also those who advocate the secret rule of the three major clans of Yanzhou.

"I am the land of Dawei and the world of the Liu family, how can I allow people with his surname to abuse at will?" An old prince in the royal family heard the courtiers say that they wanted to turn big things into small things, and they immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "You are all taking the court money one by one, and what you are doing is with the mud?!" ”

The courtiers didn't dare to admit the old prince's words, and they all showed their eloquence and made the old prince so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

The upright courtiers echoed what the old prince said, and debated and reasoned with the people of Fang Cai's faction.

The two factions come and go, and they quarrel fiercely.

Emperor Yuanwu had no intention of stopping it, so King Rui quietly retreated.

Liu Tong stepped forward and whispered behind King Rui's ear: "Fifth brother, why did my father only mention the Qi and Lu families, so what about the Yuwen family sending someone to assassinate you?" Before today, can my father send someone to explain it to you? ”

King Rui's eyebrows were heavy, and he said softly: "No." ”

"No?" Liu Tong suddenly frowned: "That ......"

"If the father takes the initiative to mention it, listen to it; If your father doesn't mention it, don't squeak. King Rui admonished, and stood silently, listening to the courtiers' arguments.

Liu Tong bit his lower lip and glanced vaguely in the direction of Emperor Yuanwu, implying hatred.

He endured it for a long time, his fists clenched in his hands, and his well-trimmed nails almost fit into the flesh of his palms.

But he still couldn't hold back.

If there is a case, his fifth brother will die in Yanzhou at this time! Even if there is no danger in the end, how can the father still look like this!

The anger in Liu Tong's heart rushed straight up, and the noisy arguments of the courtiers above the hall made him even more irritable.

"Father!"

Liu Tong suddenly stepped out of the ranks, strode forward two steps, and there was a little bloodshot in his eyes, and the expression of the whole person was particularly terrifying.

His voice was sudden, King Rui did not expect it, and the other people in the hall were also startled, and for a while, the hall fell into a strange silence.

Liu Tong took a breath and was about to speak, but his body shook coldly.

King Rui reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled it back, his eyes looked at him sharply, the surprise in his eyes was still there, and there was a flash of anxiety. (To be continued.) )
