204. Liu Heng

After hearing this, Liu Zhang drew his sword and stood up, and everyone in the hall looked at Liu Zhang: "I tell you, Lu Chu, she is my Liu Zhang's wife, even though her surname is Lu, even though she is the eldest daughter of Lu Lu." But Chu Er He also has nothing to do with our government and political disturbances, if you do something to pursue her for this, or spread some rumors that Chu Er heard, then prepare to be the soul of my Liu Zhangjian first!! ”

He threw his sword hard and slammed his sword into the ground.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and Zhou Bo hurriedly came up to relieve the siege: "Master Hou, don't worry, we know what Madame is like." Nor are we killing innocent people indiscriminately. Master Hou, please calm your anger first. ”

Even though Liu Zhang treated Lu Chu badly before, it was because of her surname Lu, but Lu Chu's obscurity in the past ten years really couldn't let him be unmoved, he decided to treat Lu Chu well, and he would definitely do it. At least you can't live up to a woman who is really good to herself.

Chen Ping pressed Liu Zhang, who was still angry, and poured a pot of tea himself.

"At the moment, we should not pursue the issue of the remaining party of the Lu clan with more tongues, but should seriously think about it, now that the Lu clan no longer exists, the young emperor cannot take the heavy responsibility at all. Who should we choose to be emperor? The most important thing at the moment is to find someone to choose from, what are everyone's opinions? ”

Zhou Bo pinched his beard and smiled: "There are alternatives." After speaking, he looked at Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang went to his brother Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, and wanted to proclaim him emperor, but in fact, Zhou Bo and the others knew about it early. Zhou Bo is asking this sentence now, which has another deep meaning.

At this time, someone said: "Lord Taiwei, now that the King of Qi and Guan Ying are stationed on the western border, when we killed Zhulu, the King of Qi did not make a little effort, if you only know that the person hiding behind Lu Dao can become the emperor, then how can you serve the public?" ”

For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

At this time, King Langya had already rushed back to Weiyang Palace.

Liu Ze, the king of Langya, has been holding a grudge since he was detained by Liu Xiang, and he heard that there has been a palace change in Weiyang Palace, so he said to Liu Xiang, the king of Qi: "King Qi, you have now lost the best opportunity to attack, I am the oldest in the Liu family, I can now enter the palace to inform the important ministers of the court, and then support you as the new emperor." ”

Liu Xiang, a person who had no brains, was naturally fooled by this scheming Liu Ze, and after hearing this, he readily agreed and let him go immediately.

Someone from the palace told Liu Ze, the king of Langya, that he had arrived at the gate of the palace, and after hearing the news, Liu Zhang could probably guess a little bit, this old man, the person who came was not good.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, it was like the princes of the Liu family began to accuse the king of Qi: "Liu Xiang completely disregarded the etiquette to the elders, tricked me into handing over the military power, and then I detained it in the fiefdom, and I was irritable, I thought about getting benefits from the battle of killing the Lu family, and then I could take the opportunity to call the emperor, Liu Xiang was impetuous and domineering, and he could not ascend the throne as the emperor at all, otherwise, it would be a repeat of the mistakes of the Lu family, absolutely not!" ”

Zhou Bo and Chen Ping glanced at each other, and probably understood what Liu Ze meant.

Chen Ping deliberately asked Liu Zhang: "Marquis Zhu Xu, you have made great contributions in the process of killing the Lu family this time, we will also listen to half of you, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Repeating the mistakes of the Lu family......

Liu Zhangfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, this sentence, it seems that Chang Xi also told him so.

He bowed respectfully: "Even if Liu Xiang is my elder brother, but for such a big matter as choosing the emperor, you should still listen to the opinions of the elders." ”

Zhou Bo and Chen Ping both cast approving eyes on Liu Zhang, but the next problem they faced was-

"So, among the descendants of the Liu family, who should we choose to be Mingjun?"

…… Master Hou! You can't do this. Liu Xiang is by no means a Ming monarch, and if you introduce the King of Qi to Chang'an City, you may be repeating the mistakes of the Lu family......

It is absolutely impossible to use Liu Xiang, he deceived King Langya, such an unpopular forcible practice will inevitably cause trouble in the future. If Master Hou reminds Zhou Bo and Chen Ping at this time and shifts your attention to the side of Acting King Liu Heng, it will definitely be beneficial to you in the future......

Chang Xi's words on that day often echoed in Liu Zhang's ears during this time.

Liu Zhang muttered, but only said two words softly: "Acting for the king......"

Chen Ping looked at him in surprise: "Acting king? Liu Heng? …… Liu Heng......"

Zhou Bo also pondered: "Liu Heng, Liu Heng ......"

Liu Heng's mother, Bo Ji Niangniang, was originally the palace maid of Wei Wangbao, Wei Wangbao once rebelled against the Qin Dynasty with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, Liu Bang found her by chance and brought her into the harem, and later she gave birth to Liu Heng and became an ordinary woman in Liu Bang's huge harem.

After Liu Bang became the emperor, he favored Mrs. Qi, snubbed Empress LΓΌ Pheasant and repeatedly planned to abolish the crown prince of Empress Lu's son Liu Ying and replace it with Mrs. Qi's son Liu Ruyi.

In order to keep his son and his own status, Empress Lu was not to be outdone. There are many activities inside and outside the court, and the situation inside and outside the court is tense and the relationship is complicated. At that time, Bo Ji was in the middle of a crack, always cautious and cautious. Under the guidance of his mother, Liu Heng has developed a cautious, gentle and humble character since he was a child.

Their mother and son are not the slightest threat to others, although they are unknown, they can live peacefully.

"Perhaps...... This is also a candidate. ”

"Liu Hengnai is the son of Emperor Gaozu, and his identity is enough to convince the public."

"Acting King Liu Heng's mother, Bo Ji Niangniang, is gentle and prudent, and her family is weak and weak, which is completely different from the Lu family."

"That's right. It is that Liu Heng himself has a generous and benevolent temperament, and it is impossible to become a tyrant who likes to kill. ”

The princes of the Liu clan began to feel very fond of this candidate.

Liu Zhang didn't say much, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for Lu Dao to do this, and he didn't know if Lu Dao Changxi was sent on behalf of the country.

But faintly always felt that there was a sense of fate, just like the fiefdom of Daiguo, there was a soaring golden dragon, and he also understood that Daiwang was the best candidate at present, so after all, he still couldn't resist the affirmation of Chang Xi's words in his heart.

In the end, everyone still unanimously agreed to make Liu Heng the emperor.

Zhou Bo and Chen Ping sent envoys to meet Liu Heng on Daiguo's side.

After Liu Heng received the news, he seemed very calm, and he quickly gathered his henchmen to discuss the truth of the matter and the plan to deal with it. Lang Zhong made Zhang Wu think that this matter could not be believed, and guessed that it was a scam set up by the Lu family, and Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, was poisoned after being deceived to Chang'an City.

Lieutenant Song Chang believed that the Lu clan had been exterminated, the Liu clan had risen again, and the acting king was among all the children of the Liu family, with a high status, old age, and good reputation, and was the most suitable to take over the throne.

Everyone was talking, and Queen Dou Yifang smiled lightly and said something in Liu Heng's ear.

Dai Guo is actually not as calm as others think, this point, since Dou Yifang went to Chang Xi, Chang Xi has already known the Tao.

Liu Heng finally decided to send his uncle Bo Zhao to Chang'an City to find out the truth first, and then make a decision after he returned.

Bo Zhao quickly rushed to Chang'an City overnight, met with Zhou Bo and others, and understood the truth of the matter. So Bo Zhao hurried back to Daiguo and reported everything to Liu Heng and Dou Yifang.

"Then it seems that the first person to come up with this idea was Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang?"

"That's true."

Dou Yifang pursed her lips and smiled gently, and she whispered to Liu Heng: "Acting King, it seems that the bargaining chip we used before for Chang Meiren, this move is definitely not wrong." ”

Liu Heng also doted on Dou Yifang and said with a smile: "It's still Yifang, you are smart." Since this is the case, the situation is clear, so let's set off for Chang'an! ”

In order to avoid the disgust caused by swagger, Liu Heng took Song Chang, Zhang Wu and others to take two ordinary cars and quietly rushed to Chang'an.

Now it seems that everything has been settled.

But when Liu Zhang returned home, he received a letter sent quickly.

This letter is a handwritten letter from his brother Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, and the ink on it has not yet been fully dried, and the handwriting is sloppy, which is obviously too anxious.

When Liu Zhang finished reading the letter, the whole person fell into a new entanglement, and he smashed the letter on the desk. Pu Qing took it, and after seeing it, he understood why Liu Zhang was so angry and embarrassed.

The letter mentioned that Liu Xiang blamed Liu Zhang for not doing a good job of internal affairs, and in addition to the bad idea of giving up the throne to the acting king Liu Heng, Liu Zhang was betraying his brother and father. And said they still have a chance to get back.

Liu Heng will enter the territory of Chang'an City the day after tomorrow, in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, Liu Xiang has prepared soldiers and horses to set up an ambush on Luofeng Slope, fifty miles outside Chang'an City, but the soldiers and horses may not be enough, so Liu Zhang should lead the soldiers who are familiar with the terrain to besiege together, and kill Liu Heng unknowingly. Then he proclaimed Liu Xiang as king.

Pu Qing put the paper in a ball and asked Liu Zhang angrily, "What should Master Hou do?" Tell the captain and the prime minister? ”

Liu Zhang waved his hand and sat down weakly: "With the envelope, there is also this thing." He was holding a magnolia flower in his hand.

"My mother planted a lot of magnolia flowers in the backyard, which is her favorite flower. My brother is ruthless, and he hasn't done anything wrong with hurting his mother. He actually sent flowers, which means that he used this as a threat to make me have to obey. It seems that this assassination can't be avoided......"

"How can this be, if something goes wrong......"

Liu Zhang threw the letter paper into the fire: "Even if there are any clues, I can't let my mother be affected." Gotta go. ”

At night, the entire Hou Mansion was plunged into a strange air pressure.
