Chapter 0164: The Checkmate of Man

In this way, Liu Jiao did not hesitate to say this time: supporting Liu Hong's decision on the princes of Yan and Zhao is actually a transaction - Liu Jiao endorses Liu Hong's decision on the selection of the princes and kings of Yan and Zhao with the super high rank of his clan elder and Liu Bang's younger brother; Liu Hong, in accordance with Liu Jiao's wishes, named Liu Yingke, the second son of the prince of Chu, as the crown prince of Chu to endorse the legitimacy of his future succession to the throne.

In this regard, Liu Hong said that there is no big problem.

Although it is said that the reduction of the feudal domain belongs to the unswerving policy in Liu Hong's heart, and it is also a strategy that will be implemented on the road of centralization in the future, the state of Chu is actually not within the scope of the reduction of the feudal domain.

Whether it is Liu Jiao's identity as 'Liu Bang's brother' or the political wisdom of the king of Chu Yuan, it makes the state of Chu temporarily belong to the category of peace among the princes of Kwantung.

Liu Hong is also full of respect for this gentle imperial uncle; Such an old prince who has been full of wealth from the end of the Qin Dynasty to the present, Liu Hong is completely unguarded against him.

As for the temperament of Liu Yingke, the second son of the king of Chu, and whether he can become a qualified prince, Liu Hong basically does not have much doubt - in the original history, after the death of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, it was Liu Yingke, the second son of the king of Yuan, who inherited the throne of the king of Chu.

Even in the original history, after inheriting the throne of King Chu, the second son of King Yuan also stayed in Chang'an as a prince and served as Zong Zhengqing!

To allow such a person to become the crown prince of Chu, the only problem that Liu Hong needs to consider is the third king of Chu in history - the sister-in-law of Liu Yingke, who is the king of Chu Liu Wu who was in cahoots with Liu Wei in the rebellion of Wu and Chu in the Jingdi Dynasty, and raised troops together!

"Do you want to say yes?"

Taking advantage of Zhang Cang's efforts to check his pulse, Liu Hong secretly calculated the stakes.

If it is agreed to canonize Liu Yingke as the crown prince of Chu, a few years later, Liu Yingke will die, and the successor to the throne of the king of Chu will inevitably be Liu Yingke's eldest son Liu Wu.

What kind of person is Liu Wu, but anyone who knows a little bit about the Wu Chu Rebellion knows that this product is the wisdom of being able to calmly go to Chang'an before raising troops, and promise Emperor Jing that 'for Liu's ministers, he will not dare to rebel'!

But after thinking about it, Liu Hong could only make a reluctant decision after all: to agree to Liu Jiao's request.

- What else can I do?

You can't tell Liu Jiao: Uncle Huang, your grandson will rebel in the future, so you can choose other sons, right?

Among the Liu clan, Liu Jiao's seniority is the same as Liu Bang!

Even Liu Yingke, who has not yet become the crown prince of Chu, is already over half a hundred years old and is the same generation as his father Liu Ying!

Liu Jiao's request is also reasonable: the eldest son died early, and the second son was replaced as the crown prince, and no fault could be found in terms of ethics or etiquette and ancestral system.

What's more, this second son of the king of Chu, public opinion has a high evaluation of him: Yingke, the second son of the king of Chu, has a gentle temper and can't let go of the scroll, so he can be called: virtuous!

Whether it is out of the seniority within the family or Liu Yingke's comments in the theory of things, Liu Hong has no reason to reject Liu Jiao.

"Alas~Nothing to do..."

Unable to stop it, Liu Hong could only temporarily admit this result; As for Liu Wu, he can only wait for the future to make plans.

- In this life, will this wisdom be reversed, and there is no word!

Without the chessboard man angrily killing the prince of Wu, even if Liu Bi raised an army, he would not have righteousness in his hands - whether it was the fig leaf of 'Qingjun's side', or the two-layer fig leaf of 'the emperor killed my son', or even the essence of 'Emperor Wen should not have been established', it would no longer be possible because of Liu Hongdi's appearance.

"Your Majesty's pulse is still stable, but there is a slight sudden illness and floating, which is the appearance of the upper void and the lower reality, and the disease and evil accumulate in the lungs and intestines1."

Gently withdrawing his hand, Zhang Cang looked at the hall without a trace, and after making sure that only Wang Zhong was standing beside Liu Hong, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and he was a little worried: "If the minister's expectations are not bad, Your Majesty's heart, I am afraid that the residual poison has not been eliminated!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Hong did not panic as Zhang Cang expected, but was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "I know about this matter, don't worry about the Marquis of Beiping." ”

"How to use medicine, Beiping Hou self-determination."

At the beginning of the crossing, Liu Hong almost woke up from a pool of blood, whether it was the trachea or esophagus, it was full of burning pain.

When he went to the north of Chang'an City to find the Northern Army, Liu Hong even fainted; After entering the palace, he even slept for three days.

If he hadn't been in a coma for those three days, Liu Hong could have fought for more advantages, and would not have fallen into a dangerous situation of life and death several times in the future.

Before he fell into a coma, Liu Hong's order of 'Xuan Taiyi' was finally exchanged for a strong man captured by Chen Ping: Lang Zhongling Cao Yan.

It was precisely because Cao Yan was around all day long to take the pulse and act like a private doctor that Liu Hong made the low-level mistake of 'misunderstanding Lang Zhongling as the imperial doctor', and was finally locked up in Weiyang Palace by the head of the bodyguard dressed in a doctor's skin.

Then, Liu Hong made a desperate bet, a bloody edict, and summoned the flying fox general Chai Wu to solve his dilemma in the Taimiao; It is precisely because of the incident of the edict that the accidental incident of 'Cao Yan's sword piercing the wall of the high temple' reversed the situation between the DPRK and China in one fell swoop, allowing Liu Hong to turn the situation in his favor with a handful of hair.

All in all: after the crossing, Liu Hong was too busy...

Take out a random political event that is enough to cause an earthquake in the political arena in other eras, and after Liu Hong's arrival, it happened one after another, and Liu Hong can't wait for two more heads to better deal with these changes and gain more political prestige from it.

I don't even have a chance to catch my breath, let alone care about my health.

In addition, the body is in the development period, Liu Hong subconsciously classified the weirdness of his voice and the intermittent burning pain in his lungs as the 'voice change period', and the two heads of the three days were furious, and the liver fire was too vigorous, so he didn't care too much - if he wanted to care, Liu Hong had to find time...

Until this morning, Liu Hong coughed at the breakfast table, and the yellowish corn porridge suddenly turned blood red!

Good guy, Liu Hongdu has not yet eased up, Lao Wang Zhong has already blocked the entire greenhouse hall, and sent his close henchmen out of the palace, shouting that Wei Wei Worm Da and Lang Zhong Ling are reluctant!

All of a sudden, Chang'an City's chickens and dogs jumped - as soon as he received the news, Worm Da summoned the Flying Fox Captain Qiang Crossbow Captain Department stationed in Nanying, that is, the forbidden army that was now renamed 'Qiang Crossbow Captain' by Liu Hong to enter Chang'an City, and surrounded Weiyang Palace!

Immediately afterwards, Lang Zhong ordered hundreds of forbidden guards, under the leadership of Ling Mian, Rong dressed up and entered the palace, and before the imperial doctor rushed to Liu Hong's side, he concentrated the palace maids and eunuchs in the Weiyang Palace to watch them!

Then, the imperial party hurriedly entered the palace and rushed to the greenhouse hall to see His Majesty, but what they saw was Liu Hong, whose face was flushed, and Liu Hong, who snatched a bowl of corn porridge from the hands of the eunuch Ling Wang Zhong...

At that scene, the atmosphere was very awkward for a while...

In the end, Zhang Cang, who was still the leader of the imperial party, came out, and the ministers who came in a panic paid a visit to Liu Hong, and then dispersed; But he himself mysteriously stayed, saying that he had to give Liu Hong a pulse.

In desperation, out of the first time since the crossing, he attached importance to his own health, as well as Zhang Cang's curiosity about the art of immortality, Liu Hong obediently lay on the couch and let Zhang Cang hum and chirp to check his pulse.

Although Liu Hong didn't expect the result of Zhang Cang's 'residual poison has not been eliminated', he was not too surprised - judging from the current situation, his crossing package this time can be called an absolutely low-profile version.

Not to mention the cheat plug-in of the system, there are no attributes such as "invulnerability" and "non-toxic and non-invasive"!

Liu Hong estimated that at most, at the moment when he crossed over, most of the poisonous wine drunk by the original owner was volatilized?

In this way, it is reasonable that there are some toxins left in the body.

Seeing that Liu Hong was so calm, Zhang Cang probably had a number in his heart; The worry on his face did not subside, and he groaned for a while before he said again: "The residual poison stored in Your Majesty's heart should be fine; But Your Majesty's body..."

After grinding for a long time, Zhang Cangcai hesitated and said: "The ministers are dead and worship for a hundred years, so as to play Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty's body is inherently deficient, and he has worked too hard recently, and his meals are unexpected, and he rests from time to time."

"In the long run, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be riddled with illness..."

The words are all at this point, Zhang Cang's unfinished words, Liu Hong can also roughly guess - left and right, but died young, and his life is not long...

Early death!

Are you kidding!

The beginning of the game is not finished yet!

It can't go on like this, wolfberry codonopsis people's water cup, it's time to hold it in your hand - fourteen years old, not small!

Hurriedly jumped up from the couch, Liu Hong grabbed Zhang Cang's wrist tightly, his eyes were full of horror: "Please also ask the Marquis of Beiping to save me for the livelihood of the people in the world!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※

When Zhang Cang was sitting in front of Liu Hong, messy in the wind, Quzhou Hou Shizi Liji finally rushed back to Chang'an.

Riding a horse all the way across the Baqiao, entering Chang'an from the Luocheng Gate, Li Ji galloped back to Shangguanli along Zhangtai Street, and jumped off the back of the war horse that was foaming at the mouth and nose and standing unsteadily in front of the gate of the Marquis of Quzhou.

If in ordinary times, someone dares to gallop like this in the city, then even if it is a dragon son and a dragon grandson, they will inevitably have to go to the Inner History Yamen!

But today, even if Liu Jie saw Li Ji galloping in the city with his own eyes, he would treat it as if he didn't see it - in the Han Dynasty, filial piety is greater than heaven!

'The father of the family is dying, and the son rushes home as soon as possible to see the last of his father', which is a big thing in the Han family!

Since receiving the news of his father's imminent death, Li Ji can be said to have traveled day and night single-handedly, passing through the post station along the way without entering, only changing horses for food and leaving.

Finally, today, Li Ji finally rushed back to Chang'an.

When he rode his horse to the vicinity of Shangguanli, he felt like a child who had made a mistake and escaped from home and secretly came back in the middle of the night...

It wasn't until he saw the gate of Quzhouhou's Mansion and didn't find the white lights and white silk that a big stone in Liji's heart fell to the ground.

Rao is eyes were already bloodshot, his face was full of wind and sand sludge, and Li Ji didn't even bother to wash his face, so he went straight to the backyard of the Hou Mansion and rushed to his father's sickbed.

Along the way, when the servants and servants of the family saw the return of the young monarch, they only bowed their heads and secretly wiped their almost dry tears.

Walking into the bedroom, Li Ji saw his father lying on the couch with a lifeless face, and a white-bearded doctor standing aside, bowing slightly, but he was not born.

Boom!

With a dull crashing sound, the eight-foot-tall man fell to his knees without crying, and slowly knelt to the couch with sad eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Looking at his father's dark eyes, the skin that still shrugged down even when he was lying on his back, and the folds that were almost engraved close to his cheeks, he couldn't make a sound.

Li Ji didn't want to believe that the father who had been sheltering himself from the wind and rain, no matter how much trouble he caused, could get it done for himself in a word after a violent beating, just fell down like this...

"How's my father?"

It took all his strength to squeeze out such a sentence from his trachea, and Liji's eyes were still locked on his father, waiting for the medical officer on the side to reply.

"The Marquis of Shaojun, the Marquis of Qu Zhou is accumulating worries and diseases, and his pulse and posture have appeared in the appearance of the Great Five Declines."

Carefully raised his eyelids, and the medical officer had to say softly: "Even if Bian Que is reborn, the immortals are alive, and I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the sky..."

Even though he had been prepared in his heart, when he heard the old man say the sentence 'powerless to return to heaven', Li Shang still felt that a giant hammer had smashed into his heart, full of pain.

"Father..."

Sobbling and whispering, Li Ji knelt to the edge of the couch, and weakly leaned his forehead on Li Shang's almost cold hand: "The child is not filial..."

"Children are not filial! Father~~"

A terrible wail, the grief in Li Ji's heart surged out like a flood that burst the embankment, and all of them turned into tears and dripped on Li Shang's hand like the bark of a dead tree.

The old man on the side didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to let Li Ji cry.

Wait for Li Ji's crying to subside a little, and then slowly step forward: "The prince has confessed to the contemptible people, and when the young prince returns, he will wake up the prince with a needle, the young prince..."

"Who dare!"

Before the old man finished speaking, he heard a hoarse roar rushing to his face!

"My father has worked hard all his life, I see who dares to disturb my father's rest!"

Li Ji knew very well in his heart what the old man meant by 'walking needle awakening'.

——Overdraft Li Shang's last trace of life, so that Li Shang can wake up and leave a final explanation for his son!

Although he knew in his heart that no matter what, his father could not be saved, and no matter how stubborn he was, he would not be able to escape the end of losing his father in the end, but Li Ji really couldn't convince himself, and nodded and agreed to the old man's proposal to 'wake up with a needle'.

In this almost desperate mood, Li Ji instinctively hoped that his father could live a little longer, even if it was a moment, or even a breath, Li Ji was satisfied.

Even if he wanted to look at his father like this, calmly walking towards the end of his life on the couch, Riji didn't want to make any decision to let his father die early for a while.

Seeing this, the old man shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

And before the sickbed, only Li Ji gently held his father's hand, weeping and muttering to himself about the past that only father and son can understand...

ps: The appearance is white, the pulse is rapid and floating, this is virtual and real, so it is often frightened, and the disease accumulates in the chest and abdomen, forcing the lungs to gasp. - "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon"

According to the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", the saying about the pulse and the face: Dafan observes the five colors, the face is yellow and the eyes are blue, the face is yellow and the eyes are red, the face is yellow and the eyes are white, and the face is yellow and black, all of them are immortal, because the face is colored, it is still rustic; The face is blue, the face is red, the face is black, the face is black, the face is white, and the face is red, all of them are signs of death, because the face is not yellow, it is the defeat of the earth.

From this point of view, what Zhang Cang said is not an exaggeration: the little emperor's face is white and blue, which is definitely not a sign of longevity.
