However, at this time, although Liu Rong was favored by his father, Liu Qizhi, he was still just an ordinary prince anyway, and it was obviously impossible to do this to promote the imperial examination and education, and all this would not be done until the prince took power in the future.

The most important thing now is to deal with the affairs of Hedong first.

The next day, Liu Rong discussed with Jia Yi how to deal with the officials in Hedong.

Jia Yi said: ""Shangshu Tai Oath" has a saying: Cultivating virtue and doing business, eliminating evil, the officials of a county in Hedong must have been greedy for ink, but at this time, they can't be captured together, if so, the entire Hedong County will be in chaos, which is definitely not something Your Majesty wants to see."

Liu Rong naturally agreed with Jia Yi's words: "Then catch the first evil first, and then punish the accomplices!" ”。

Immediately, Liu Rong wanted to give an order, ordering Tang Sheng to lead the army to immediately capture Shentu Gong.

But Jia Yi stopped Liu Rong before he could speak.

"What does Your Highness want to do?"

Liu Rong was a little puzzled: "Naturally, I want to arrest and interrogate the head of Hedong, the evil Shen Tugong!" ”。

Jia Yi smiled: "Your Highness must not be like this."

"My father has ordered me to take full authority to deal with the affairs of Hedong, why can't I?"

"Who is Shen Tugong? Even if he does all kinds of evil, he is still a high-ranking official at this time, and according to the edict of the Son of Heaven in the Han Dynasty, others cannot be easily arrested and interrogated.

If Your Highness does not ask His Majesty for his command, he will be arrested, and he will leave a tongue for others."

Hearing this, Liu Rong nodded for a while, it is a big crime to overstep his authority, and it will be difficult to get rid of it if he is burdened with this pot.

Then Liu Rong said: "What the teacher said is very true, I will play to my father!" ”。

After writing it, Liu Rong immediately ordered someone to send it to Chang'an.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, saw that Liu Rong did not make an arbitrary decision because he ordered him to dispose of Hedong with full authority, and he became more and more satisfied with Liu Rong in his heart.

When Wang Yan was ordered to draft an edict to arrest Shentu Gong, after using the seal, it was issued to the person who ordered him.

However, without waiting for the edict of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, to Hedong, Zhou Yangyou, the governor of Hedong, arrived in Chang'an first.

Originally, he wanted to go to the palace to meet the Son of Heaven first, and then go to the Taiwei Mansion to meet Zhou Yafu. But I didn't want to go to the gate of the palace and meet the Son of Heaven, but after a while, there was a messenger who passed the order of the Son of Heaven, His Majesty has been in poor health recently, and no one has been seen at this time!

After wandering around the palace gate for a long time, Zhou Yangyou had to sigh, his face was full of helplessness, and he walked away............

Zhou Yangyou was originally promoted by Emperor Wen back then, so naturally he was not liked by the current Son of Heaven, but Zhou Yangyou never thought that the Son of Heaven would not even want to see the Son of Heaven in person.

This Zhou Yangyou had to change his route to see Taiwei Zhou Yafu, and originally wanted to prepare a generous gift to visit him, but he had heard that Zhou Yafu was an upright person. And he can be said to have no foundation in Chang'an, if it is not good, the gift is sent but it provokes his anger, and the gain outweighs the loss.

In this way, I had to go to the Taiwei Mansion with fear, and as soon as I saw Zhou Yafu, I saluted and said: "Zhou Yangyou, the commander of Hedong, the lower official, will visit the Taiwei."

"You are Zhou Yangyou, do you know what happened to Captain Ben summoning you to Chang'an?" , Zhou Yafu said with a cold face.

Zhou Yangyou can be said to be a person who speaks of the same in Hedong on weekdays, and no one in the entire Hedong territory, including Hedong Taishou Shentu Gong, dares to easily provoke this authoritarian and domineering captain.

But at this moment, the person in front of him is not an official from Hedong, but Zhou Yafu, the marquis who destroyed hundreds of thousands of rebels in the rebellion of the Five Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and is still one of the three princes of the dynasty.

Zhou Yafu is a person who has been in battle for a long time, and he naturally has the blood of a soldier on his body, looking at such an aggressive momentum, Zhou Yangyou is almost frightened.

tremblingly replied: "The subordinate naturally knows that the subordinate is summoned by the Taiwei to inquire about the defense of Hedong."

Hearing this, Zhou Yafu first smiled, and when he lowered his face again, he said angrily: "Someone! Tie up this traitor Zhou Yangyou to me."

As soon as Zhou Yafu's words fell, several soldiers with ropes and large waists ran out of the back hall, and before they could react, they immediately tied up Zhou Yangyou.

Zhou Yangyou shouted hoarsely: "Captain! Captain! What does this mean? The subordinate officer may offend the lieutenant."

I only heard Zhou Yafu snort coldly, "Hmph! Zhou Duwei naturally did not offend Ben Taiwei, but you offended hundreds of thousands of people in Hedong! ”。

After finishing speaking, he said to these attendants: "Take them to the Tingwei prison!" ”。

As soon as he heard about the Tingwei prison, Zhou Yangyou was scared to death, and the Tingwei prison of the Han Dynasty was not much more than the edict of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty.

Those who go in will not die but also shed their skin, because Zhou Yafu's father, Zhou Bo, the marquis of Jiang, was reported for rebellion in his fiefdom, and was imprisoned in the Tingwei prison by Liu Rong's grandfather, Emperor Xiaowen.

The jailers and jailers in the prison don't matter if you are a royal prince or a person who worships the king before you enter the Tingwei prison, in their opinion, the person in front of you has only one identity, that is-prisoner.

Zhou Bo was tortured by the jailers and jailers in prison, and later Zhou Bo had to ask his family to send 100 gold to the jailer, and the jailer wrote a letter on the back of the board to indicate that he said: "You can make the princess testify for the prince."

In this way, Zhou Bo remembered that he still had a princess and daughter-in-law to use, so he sent him to Bo Zhao with a heavy amount of money, and finally got out of the prison of the court captain.

Emperor Wen sent envoys to release Zhou Bo with talismans in hand and restore his title and fiefdom. After Zhou Bo returned home from prison, he sighed with emotion: "I once led an army of millions, but now I know that the prison guards are also so noble."

And how did Liu Rong die in history, that is, he was stuffed into the Tingwei Prison by his father and interrogated by Zhidu, and he was so frightened that he committed suicide.

In this way, how could Zhou Yangyou not be afraid.

When the soldier stepped forward to pull Zhou Yangyou, he was dying and struggling: "What does Tai Lieutenant mean by this!" I am the Governor of Hedong under His Majesty's personal order, and my rank of the Han Dynasty is greater than that of two thousand stones, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, there is no edict from the Son of Heaven, even if you are the Marquis Zhou Yafu, you have no right to arrest this official! ”。 This week, Yang You became more and more angry, and he simply didn't even call him Taiwei, and called him Zhou Yafu by his name.

Hearing this, Zhou Yafu laughed, "Traitor, let you die and understand!" ”。

After finishing speaking, he picked up a scroll of bamboo slips from the bookcase, walked in front of Zhou Yangyou, and opened it for Zhou Yangyou to see, "This is Your Majesty's edict!" ”。

Seeing the edict, Zhou Yangyou was completely dead, and he couldn't say a word, and the Son of Heaven had issued an edict to arrest him............

At this moment, Zhou Yafu didn't want to see Zhou Yangyou anymore, and said to the soldier: "Don't pull it down yet!" ”。

Ran out of the lobby, this Zhou Yangyou actually shouted again, "Your Majesty! Wronged, Your Majesty! The minister is wronged".

Zhou Yafu, who was angry, walked out of the lobby quickly and said angrily: "Don't give me the mouth of this husband to plug me yet."

……………………………………………………………………

Not long after Zhou Yafu threw Zhou Yangyou into prison, the edict of the Son of Heaven arrived in Hedong.

Liu Rong took the bamboo slip handed over by the confessor, and there were only a few numbers on it, "My son's words, I am accurate!" ”。

After showing this edict to Jia Yi, Liu Rong smiled and said, "Can the teacher arrest that Shen Tugong now!" ”。

Jia Yi got up and said: "Naturally, it is possible, although the military power of Hedong has been obtained, but Shen Tugong said that there are still some soldiers in his hands, and we must not guard against it."

Hearing this, Liu Rong naturally agreed with Jia Yi's intentions, no matter how bad the Han family's defense is, he will definitely have some ability to command the army alone, and if he rushes to arrest Shen Tugong, he will force him to lead his troops to resist............

After thinking for a while, Liu Rong paced to the window, and suddenly looked up to see Baoding, which was protected by dozens of soldiers.

"The teacher thinks that Zhou Yang will be suspicious when he looks at Baoding from here?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Rong turned his head to look at Jia Yi on the side.

After the two looked at each other and smiled, Liu Rong summoned Wang Sheng and asked him to hold his own talisman to summon Shen Tugong and let him come here to watch the Ding.

At the dinner that day, Shen Tugong tried his best to please Liu Rong, but Liu Rong seemed to be unable to eat oil and salt. Solidly, since that day, Zhou Yangyou has been anxious all day long, and as Jia Yi said, Shen Tu Gong has transferred all his henchmen in the entire Anyi City to the Taishou Mansion, although its number cannot be compared with the Hedong defenders, but there are nearly 2,000 people.

In the past few days and nights, Shen Tugong has been sleepless all night, one moment dreaming that the Son of Heaven issued an edict to exterminate his clan, and the other time he dreamed that the heroes in Anyi City, who had already been killed, came to ask for his life.

is even more secret: it is better to find a day to go to the Huns, which is also stronger than being angry all day!

At this time, I only heard a report from the slave in the Taishou Mansion: "Envoy, there is a person who asks to see, and his words are that His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, has something to find His Highness."

As soon as these words came out, when even interrupted Shen Tu Gong's train of thought and glanced at the slave, Shen Tu Gong hurriedly got up and walked to the door to put on his shoes and said: "The person sent by His Royal Highness, Ben Taishou naturally wants to greet him in person."

However, after a while, Shen Tu Gong walked to the front of the mansion, and when Wang Sheng saw that this was the case, he stepped forward and saluted: "The slave maid came to inform the envoy on the order of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness wants to invite the envoy to the mansion tomorrow to have a look at the treasure obtained by Fenyin."

Wang Sheng is a slave in front of Liu Rong, and he also calls himself a slave, but at this time, Shen Tu Gong does not dare to regard him as a slave, Shen Tu Gong arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the envoy to inform me, and the ministers will arrive on time tomorrow."

Shen Tu Gong was also a person who had been in the palace of the Tai Prince, so he naturally knew what these eunuchs liked the most............

After speaking, he took out a gold ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into Wang Sheng's hand.

The king immediately stuffed the golden edge into his bosom and saluted: "Since the envoy has complied with it, the slave and maid will go back to report to His Highness."

From top to bottom, the officials of the Han family have always scoffed at eunuchs, and no matter how clean and noble the eunuchs are, they can't change the contempt that these officials look down on eunuchs.

Looking at the voice of the distant king, Shen Tugong said disdainfully: "Eunuch! ”。

At this time, Wang Sheng took out the gold given by Shentu Gong in his arms, and after weighing it in his hand, Wang Sheng said to himself: "Give one gold at a time, this Shentu Taishou is really generous."

It's just that I don't know how many days this big-handed Shentu Taishou can live."
