Chapter 0005: Emperor Gao's own grandson

Han Chang'an, Weiyang Palace North Que.

The most legendary place in the history of the Western Han Dynasty.

Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang set the capital of Chang'an and ordered Marquis Xiao He to build Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace Beique began its sacred historical mission.

In the history of the Western Han Dynasty, countless direct conversations between the bottom and the emperor took place in Beique.

In the original history, in another four years, there will be a good story that will be passed down by later generations in Beique - Ti Ying hit the drum and the Son of Heaven came out, thanked Ti Ying for her pure filial piety, and pardoned the guilt of Taicang Gong, the father of Ti Ying; Corporal punishment was abolished.

A little further, after Emperor Jing made a mistake and failed to make the princes' coalition retreat, he also issued his determination to the subjects of Chang'an not to surrender in the north of Weiyang Palace.

In the Wudi Dynasty, the crown prince Liu Ju launched a mutiny, and still encouraged the people of Chang'an to support him in the north of Weiyang Palace (Emperor Wu lived in the Jianzhang Palace outside Chang'an City all the year round).

In Chang'an City, where the emperor, nobles and commoners lived in strict isolation, the meaning of the existence of the Beique of Weiyang Palace was similar to the "leader's mailbox" in later generations - when there were subjects who were wronged and had nowhere to say that the emperor had to go out, the Dengwen drum under the Beique became the only hope.

In addition, Beique also plays a role in deterring foreign races: since Emperor Wu ascended the throne, all the Xiongnu envoys to Han came to Han through Beique to Sima Gate, and then entered Weiyang Palace from Sima Gate; As for the purpose, it is natural that Emperor Wu wants to show his muscles to his sworn enemy in the spacious square of Beique - a military parade.

Not strictly speaking, Weiyang Palace Beique is to the Western Han Dynasty, which is almost the same as Tiananmen Square to the Celestial Empire.

At this moment, in front of Tiananmen Square in the Western Han Dynasty, an event that is destined to go down in history is taking place.

- Emperor Liu Hong, who should have stood on the wall of the North Palace, led his troops to stop outside the North Gate at this time, looking up at the palace wall nearly six zhang high; And in his place, Taiwei Zhou Bo looked down at the thousands of soldiers of the Northern Army under the palace wall with a changed face.

Dozens of days ago, the same soldiers of the Northern Army, who also shouted "Fu Bao Liu Han" on the left side, fought with Lu Chan's Southern Army under this Northern Que.

It's just that at that time, he was standing in front of this group of soldiers of the Northern Army, holding high the long sword in his hand, and in the name of "saving the Son of Heaven from fire and water", he entered this Weiyang Palace.

Now, the Son of Heaven, who once needed to be saved by himself, is also holding a long sword and shouting "Liu's left side", standing outside the Weiyang Palace.

What the hell is it that has become different...

"It's come to this, what should I do?!!"

Prime Minister Chen Ping's anxious voice of inquiry came from his ears, pulling Zhou Bo's consciousness back from outside the fugue, and his attention was refocused on the short figure standing alone under the north que.

The experience of leading the army for a long time made Zhou Bo want to shout something to boost the increasingly low morale; But the short figure highly coincided with the appearance of Emperor Hui when he was a child in his memory, so that Zhou Bo didn't know what to say for a while.

In that year, Emperor Gaozu wanted to abolish the throne of Emperor Hui and set up King Zhao, and Empress Lu asked to invite Shangshan Sihao, and when Emperor Hui, who was the prince at the time, stood in line, Emperor Hui, who was only fourteen years old, was also like this young man in his eyes, short and thin, but confidently straightened his waist and looked directly at Emperor Gaozu's eyes.

Yes, the little emperor under the palace wall should be almost fourteen...

"Your Majesty... Your Excellency, why is this? ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhou Bo reacted: Rao is no matter how unwilling he is to admit it, the facts are irrefutable - deep down, Liu Hong is still the emperor and the master of this great Han country.

Hearing Zhou Bo's weak "call for Xuan", Liu Xingju on the side frowned inadvertently, and looked behind him with deep meaning.

Seeing this, the general with a tangled face behind him had no choice but to take a deep breath, feeling the violent rise and fall of his chest a little, and then stepped forward and drank outside the palace wall: "Your Excellency, haven't you forgotten what you said in the Weiyang Palace that day?" ”

With a loud shout, the panicked courtiers on the palace wall felt a little relieved: Yes, this one admits that he is not the son of Emperor Hui, and everyone is also thinking about the Liu family, so they can stand as the king!

Even when Zhou Bo heard this, he walked out of the confusion, and his face returned to majesty.

Under the palace wall, Liu Hong shook off the support of the soldiers around him and stroked his aching chest with his hand; His eyes widened, staring viciously at the shadowy crowd on the palace wall.

Even if he doesn't know who is the speaker, Liu Hong can guess who dares to brazenly say that he is "not Emperor Hui"!

According to the old eunuch's statement, yesterday it was Liu Xingju, Marquis of Dongmu, and Xiahou Ying, Marquis of Ruyin, who led their troops to the apse of Weiyang Palace on the grounds of "Zhu Lu is useless, and he is willing to go to persuade in person".

When they left, Liu Hong "died".

Liu Xingju's voice, Liu Hong was "lucky" to hear it last night, so...

With a sneer, Liu Hong took a breath and shouted angrily: "Marquis Ruyin, but you want to give me another bottle of poisonous wine to sue the world for evil?" ”

A deafening voice came out, and the people who had gathered outside Beique early in the morning to watch the excitement suddenly fell into a commotion.

"I just said, the queen mother has only been in the past few days, and the county official is young, how can she die?"

"It's extreme, it's extreme, it turns out that there are traitors who are harming each other!"

The gossip parties who didn't react were still talking, and the honest people who reacted had already knelt on the ground in pieces: "The people worship Your Majesty~ My emperor has a long life." ”

After a while, the rest of the people also knelt on the ground reflexively: "The people worship Your Majesty~"

Quiet.

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the North and nearly 10,000 people of Chang'an fell into a strange silence.

Even the soldiers on the palace wall who were ready to go, looking at this spectacular scene in front of them, couldn't help but be stunned in place.

Didn't you say that Your Majesty died?

What's going on?

We are... Are you fighting against your majesty's sword?

In the armies of the feudal era, the vast majority of soldiers did not know who they were fighting for and why; All they care about is how much food the war can bring to their families.

With all exceptions, they are all famous strong armies in history - the Yuejia army fought for the people of Li and fought for the pacification of the Japanese invaders; The People's Army fights for the survival of the country and the prosperity of the nation!

And now, the soldiers who originally claimed to be loyal ministers of the Liu family and thought that they were guarding the Liu family's palace found that their opponent was the Liu emperor...

In the blink of an eye, the originally high morale collapsed; As far as Zhou Bo could see, even the guards with longbows beside him, and his fingers on the arrows were inadvertently trembling...

On the contrary, it was beside Xiahou Ying, Marquis of Ruyin, and the atmosphere was strangely restless - the hands of several sergeants had secretly helped the short blade behind their backs!

The morale of the army has been lost.

Sighing and shaking his head, Zhou Bo had no choice but to shout outside the city wall: "Your Excellency, stay for a while, and then leave the palace to meet Your Excellency..."

Watching Zhou Bo disappear above the palace wall, Liu Hong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The left eye was slightly sour by the rising sun, which made Liu Hong subconsciously squint; I was hungry and enjoyed the first warmth that shone on my body after the crossing.

"The sun is rising..."
